Chapter 4 - Captured

Sitting alone in a bar that by now would have been closed was a man wearing a heavy black trench coat. He was not drunk and was sipping idily on a glass of simple white wine. His glass was half empty and his eyes were a dark green. He was waiting for something to happen or someone to come. Either way he was not to picky of which came first.

"Sir." A female voice filled the mans ears as he turned his bar stool to face the pale faced woman. Her eyes were a cold grey and her hair was long and black.

"What did you find out?"

"Where the intended target is staying. I still have yet to find out if they know where the key is, sir."

"Ah...I see. I must find that key. It is the whole reason for our search, for our wasted time, for my wasted time and money on pathetic peices of-" his hand clentched into a tight fist breaking the fragile glass in his hands.

"Sir? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Just find me the key in whatever means possible, but be subtile about it. I do not want the target to find out we're here."

"Sir," the woman disapeared behind the shadows, "I will get close to the target."

"Do so. Bartender another glass of wine." He looked down at the lifeless body of the bartender, "My apologies good man. I'll just pour myself a glass."

Sitting idly by the TV, Amber closed her notebook full of math questions. Finally done. Took long enough.

I'm sorry I could of helped you my light. I just do not understand this new math.

It's okay. I'm just glad it's done. Besides, after this semester I don't know what I'm going to do. Besides trying to find my cousins here, and trying to outrun those good for nothing people. I don't know what kind of "key" they're talking to me about.

Just relax, they can't be hear I hope. Get some rest. Let's look for some clues a tomorrow. It is a Saturday and the new library-

I can't go there. I'm sorry, lets see if Yugi will show us were they keep city records. Maybe we can go there?

I suppose. Amara sighed and returned into her own little world.

Amber rose from her place and made her way up the stairs only to find Rebecca harrassing Yugi about where he was on the night of the double date. Rebecca looked at Amber and made a fist pointing it at her. "YOU! YOU TOOK MY YUGI AWAY!"

"Listen kid," Rebecca started to shake angrily at the comment, "As much as I find you annoying it wasn't my idea. SO get over it. I've got bigger problems, needless to say that I didn't enjoy it, I did. Night Yugi." Amber closed her and, "3...2...1..."

"WHY YOU! YOU LITTLE-"

"Rebecca calm down. Why don't we all just go to bed and get some sleep. We'll all feel better in the morning." Amber could hear Yugi's pleas to get the girl to calm down.

"Geez, she needs to take a chill pill." Amber released her hands from the bed post and pulled the covers over her body. Suddenly her door creaked open and Yugi walked in.

"Sorry about her. She likes me and I-"

"No need to explain. I'm okay with it, really I am." Amber sat up, "I need to thank you yet again for my lodgings. I mean....where would I be without you?"

"Probably sharing an apartment with Mai."

"Yeah, that woman scares me to no account."

"So, are you going to find out more information about your cousins tomorrow?"

"Yeah...you wanna come? I could use the company," she turned her head away, "And the the moral support."

"Sure. Rebecca has classes that day and I've got nothing better to do." Amber smiled and hugged Yugi.

"Thanks," she whispered into his ear, "I owe you." Planting a small kiss on his cheek she crawled into his back and fell asleep.

"Uh...um...you're welcome." Yugi smiled softly and closed the door heading to his room.

Yugi...is it not a costome to kiss the girl back?

Yugi growled his response, Yami...

Okay, okay. I get the message. I know you have strong feelings for this girl.

Yami...I'm not sure.

I shall leave it alone for now. You must be tired.

Yes. Good night Yami.

Good night my light.

Morning came way too soon for Amber but she got up anyway. Deciding to be nice and wear one of the outfits Mai had got her she slipped it on. How can she wear this stuff?

Do you not like it my light?

As much as I like wearing your clothes. Infact those would be better then this. She was wearing a black corset with a black tank top over it. She also had a a short mini skirt that just barely hugged her hips. I can't breathe in this thing!

Then don't wear it.

But Mai bought it for me and I...can't...

Are you okay Amber?

Fine...I just feel a little...faint...

AMBER! Her light crashed down to the floor. Amber wake up! Yugi just walked in.

Rebecca and Yugi rushed in after they heard a crash in Amber's room. Amber was face up on the floor and she looked like she was loosing oxygen fast.

"Rebecca hand me those sissors."

"Here, but why?" Yugi took the sissors and cut the strings holding the corset on.

"Ugh...oh my...god..." Amber sat up with the help of Yugi. Her shirt was still on but the corset was as good as garbage.

"Are you okay?" Amber managed a nod and stood up, "Are you sure? You still look pretty flushed."

"I'll be fine..."

"Okay...we'll let you get changed." Yugi pushed Rebecca out of the door. Wow...a piece of clothing could do that?

I guess...how strange. I had no idea clothing could be used as a weapon.

I guess it can.

"Yugi? Are you listening to me?" Rebecca poked Yugi in the arm.

"Uh...yeah. Sorry about that. Just wondering about something." Yugi gazed out of the window.

"You know I have to leave for home in a week. You've barely spent time with me and most of it has been spent with her! She's a no good person. She shouldn't even have come here in the first place!! I want to be alone with you!! Yet she keeps you all to herself!!!" Amber stood in the door with a white sweater one size to big for her on.

"I-"

"Amber...I didn't know you were..."

"I'm sorry, Yugi. Rebecca. I better just go to the city records by myself...let you two have some privacy." Amber gathered her purse from the chair and slipped on her shoes. She ran out the door leaving a stunned Yugi and Rebecca.

"Yugi I didn't-"

"Yeah. I know...but-"

Shall we go after her?

I don't Yami? I don't know? Yami pulled Yugi out the door.

We are. I must discuss something with Amara.

Amara?

Yes...Amber's darker side. We should hurry.

Okay. "Rebecca, want to go catch up and apologize?" Yugi looked at the preteen girl and she nodded.

"Yeah. I shouldn't have said what I said." Rebecca pulled out her money for the bus and they hoped they would make it to city records before Amber.

"Yes...I'm looking for someone who looks like this," Amber handed the picture to the man.

"Listen kid, that picture is over ten years old. There is no way we can track someone with that look now. Unless..."

"My parents are dead. Could you just check city records to see if they gave their daughter to an adoptive family, a sister, brother or step sibling?"

"Yes...it will take at least an hour to process."

"I need that information now!" Amber slammed her hands down on the desk and a low growl could be heard.

"Be paitent little girl. Impaitence gets you now where, do me a big favour honey, get me that information asap and I'll give you a little something in return."

"Oh right away ma'am!" The man came back and handed the file to the woman with firey red hair. "Now where is that little something?"

"Here you go." She pulled out a gun and pointed it at the man. "Now little girl, come with me and don't make me hurt you. I could destroy this file in an instant. I'm sure you don't want that. So stop worrying your pretty little head off and come with me."

"Hey Amber!" Rebecca called out from seeing her across the street.

"Keep your little friends out of this. Understand?" Amber nodded and looked away from her friends.

"Guys...just go away..." her hair covered her eyes.

"Why Amber?" Yugi asked putting his hand on her shoulder. She pulled it away.

"Just go away...don't come near me...leave me ALONE!" the woman holding Amber's shoulder smiled and pushed her into the car.

"You heard her. Leave her alone. She doesn't want to see you anymore."

"I'm sorry guys." Amber watched the door close and the car drove off.

"That was wierd. Come on Rebecca," Yugi pulled Rebecca into the city records building to find the man at the desk cowering in a corner. "What is with that woman that just came in?" Yugi asked.

"I-I-I-"

The puzzle glowed and Yami picked the man up. "What happened?"

"Pharoah, I had no idea you had that in you."

"She h-had a gun. She told the g-girl who c-ame in-"

"Did the girl have rose pink hair? Hazel eyes?"

"Yes. She pulled out a gun, took the file from me and told the girl to go with her. That's until you guys came and the girl told you to go away."

"Come on Yugi!" Rebecca ran out of the building and hailed a taxi. "Follow that...uh..."

"Listen kid. Tell me where to go or I'm going to have to give someone else a ride."

"Uh...yeah..." Rebecca pulled out her lap top, "Go right then left and we'll tell you to go after that."

"All right kid. Whatever you say. Hold on a sec."

"Hey guys...can I catch a ride?"

"Yeah, we could use your help!" Joey closed the door.

"Now go the way I told you!" The driver pulled out of the parking space and went the way Rebecca commanded. "I put a tracker on Amber."

"You what?!"

"Well you were both giving me a look of how I know where she went, or at least Yugi was."

"Okay, what is goin' on here?" Joey asked grabbing Rebecca by the shoulders.

"Amber was looking for information on her family but a woman managed to get the file and took Amber away with her. She's got a gun."

"Oh man. What else?"

"Nothing so far. We had a shouting match and I kinda said some things I shouldn't have. Amber left looking really upset. So I put a tracker on her incase she decided to leave. She needs help."

"That was a low move but smart," Yami commented, "I hope she's okay."

"So do I." Joey sighed. "STOP!" The taxi came to a halt. "Sir, I suggest you get in the passanger seat." Joey pushed the driver aside and took off down the road, "Oh and buckle up!"

"AHHHHHHH!" The driver was lost in his screams so Rebecca put it on for him.

"Which way now?"

"Right!" Joey made a hard right and saw three more ways to go. "Straight!" Joey pushed the gas petal hard, "Left!" Joey turned the stearing wheel, "Right and left again!"

"Now girl! Stay here until you're willing to talk." Amber pulled her knees up to her chest.

Amber? Amber talk to me! It's no use. I must contact the pharoah. Amara searched the areas around her and sensed the pharoah. She forced herself into the corridors of the puzzle and pushed open his side of the hall. "Pharoah!"

"What are you doing inside my mind?!"

"I need your help. I can not reach Amber and you are the only one who can see me other then Amber and Yugi."

"We are on our way to help your light. Stay here until it is safe."

"I must return to my-" chains wrapped around her arms and legs, "What are you doing pharoah?!"

"Keeping you safe."

"But-"

"No!"

Yugi wondered why suddenly he was locked out of Yami's chambers. He pushed open the door. There, in Yami's chambers was a woman with long rose pink hair and her eyes were a dark brown. Her arms were chained up and so were her legs. She was struggling.

"LET ME GO!"

"What's going on?"

"This accursed pharoah will not let me go to my light! AGH! LET ME OUT OF THESE!"

"My light...this is Amara. A prietess back in my time."

"Yugi!" Rebecca shook Yugi out of his daze, "Wake up Yugi! We're here." Yugi looked at the building. It was enormous, black and slightly errie looking. "The problem-"

"How do we get in?"

"Answer me!" Amber felt herself being thrown into a wall. "You know where it is! I know you do!"

"Even if I did...I wouldn't tell you!" Spitting in the mans face was not the best idea. She earned herself a hard slap in the face and punch in the chest. She fell to the floor gasping for air.

The man raised her face and looked her in the eyes, "Now tell me where it is."

"Take my answer that I gave you before because your getting nothing out of me." The man pressed his lips to hers forcefully and pulled them off quickly. "Ugh!"

"I hope you enjoyed it?"

"Does that ugh give you any hint that I did?" Amber earned herself a kick the chest.

"Don't talk back to me little girl. I have pleanty of security around this place so you will not get very far. I hope you enjoy your stay here. You won't be leaving very soon."
