Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Leftover Love ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Leftover Love

Disclaimer: Let's see my plot for world domination was foiled last week so no I still don't own either Yu-gi-oh! or the movie "Excess Baggage."  And see the last chapter for my warning- romance is still ablooming.

Ok first off I was so completely thrilled by all the reviews I got for the first chapter of the story so I want to take the time and thank everyone for writing them. 

Mediaminer People: Thank you Cairyn Sandstrom and angelbaby for the review.  Cairyn, I'm glad you like Yami's name I am usually horrible with names- making them up, remembering them, spelling them and all that.  I like your pen name.  Angelbaby I totally agree with you on weak Yugis.  Yugi is my favorite character and I love seeing him when he acts all brave.  Unfortunately for this story he might go over the line and act like the rich, spoiled brat I made him for the story, but don't worry, he'll come around eventually.

On to Fanfiction folk: Thank you SoulDreamer, Yana5, Sansi, ladywolf(Terri, Pharaoh Atemu's Angel, Haru Tortoise, Millie Ishtar Motou, Nikukie, and Queenoftheskies16 for all the reviews.  SoulDreamer I'm glad you think the story is funny.  Yana5 you bring up a good point.  I wrote the summary where Yugi falls in love with Yami, so far- it's the other way around.  But don't worry- right now Yugi's a little mad, but soon he'll change his mind.  Sansi thank you for the advice- I have changed to now accept reviews from anyone who's interested.  Ladywolf(Terri I'm sorry you couldn't review when you wanted to, thanks for trying again.  Hopefully you'll laugh again when you see where exactly Yami put his new "problem."  Pharaoh Atemu's Angel I'm happy you liked Yugi's outburst cause he's probably going to have a lot of them.  In this story he's the grandson of a very rich man and is used to always getting his way.  Yami as a young thief is pretty much independent and answers to no one.  It's going to be interesting to see which one yields first.  Haru Tortoise yup you got it right.  Yugi pretty much gets whatever his heart desires.  Except for one thing which is why he staged the kidnapping in the beginning.  He wants his grandfather's attention and love.  More about that later though…  Millie Ishtar Motou  Evil?  Yami?  Ok.  Yami is definitely a thief and a criminal in this story but I wouldn't exactly call him evil.  Sorry.  There are bad guys in this story under the names Bakura and Marik.  But they come in later.  However if you want to call Yami evil go ahead.  Nikukie and Queenoftheskies16 thanks for the positive reviews. 

And for everyone who asked- a new chapter!  I'm currently on break from school so I'll try to update quickly.  In a couple of weeks this might go slower.  So enjoy reading everyone and tell me what you think afterwards.  Also if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Chapter 2

The limo drove up to the mansion slowly, the passenger in no hurry to face his employer.  Solomon Motou had not become one of the richest men in the world by accepting failure.  And Seto Kaiba was not happy to supply it either.  But the details could not be ignored: Solomon's little brat of a grandson had disappeared, and right when they had been about to recover the pest and show the kidnapper the power behind a Motou, he had slipped out of their grasp.

The limo came to a stop in front of the main doors, and Seto purposefully strode into the mansion, not willing to let any loser imagine him scared.  However, just as he was about to enter Motou's study, the man came barging out, a servant scurrying after him trying to put the man's coat on him.  Solomon's eyes narrowed at Seto and he immediately stopped, forcing the servant to crash into the floor behind him.

"Seto I'm glad you're here.  I trust everything went according to plan and my grandson is now back in my possession?"

"Things didn't go as planned sir.  We failed.  The money was never collected and the car containing your grandson and the kidnapper was evaded by the idiotic police." Seto said frankly, not willing to stutter about the truth like a fool.  One of the many reasons that Solomon had hired him, young as he was for the job.

Solomon frowned at the news, but still continued on putting on his jacket, and grabbing his briefcase on a nearby table.  "At least my money was recovered.  Now I have a business conference to attend, so I expect you to solve this inconvenient problem of mine before I return.  I want my grandson sitting next to me at dinner tonight.  And Kaiba?  I want to make sure that this kidnapper that has dared to mess up my carefully laid plans never sees the light of day again.  Got it?" Solomon instructed as he exited the home, getting into the limousine that Seto himself had just vacated.

Seto glanced down at the paperwork he had brought for his employer to look at, and sighed at the amount of work to be done.  The police had given him files on every petty criminal in the area, and now it looked like he had an afternoon full of reading to do.  When he brought the midget back home to grandpa, he pondered if the old man would notice one more bump on that smug child's face?

"Joey are you sure you can't stay out longer with us?" Anzu whined, trying to pout as she clutched onto Tristan for support.  Tristan however, was as drunk as she was and nearly pulled her over as he leaned in to kiss her.

"Sorry babe but I've got important business to take care of." Joey bragged, waving his bag full of cash as proof.

Mai frowned at this news.  Of the four, she was the only one still thinking straight.  "Come on Joe, don't you want to show your lady a good time?"

Anzu laughed and sputtered, "There aren't any ladies here Mai."

Joey ignored her and focused on Mai.  "Sorry hun but I have to go.  But look, if me and Yams pull this deal off the two of us can go swimming in the Bahamas next month.  All of us." Joey declared, waving his arms widely.

Mai and Anzu squealed in excitement and Tristan laughed.  "Way to go buddy.  I knew you were going places.  Now go get us a vacation." He gave Joey a friendly whack on the back which unfortunately overbalanced him and sent him flying into the warehouse floor.  His three best friends decided then that the party was over and fled to their cars.

"Losers." Joey muttered as he picked himself off the floor.  Clutching the bag of cash tightly to his chest he staggered through the showroom, stopping to drape himself over a car he was pretty sure hadn't been there when he left.

"Yams been busy." Joey commented as he looked over the expensive car.  It would fetch a very nice price on the market.  He didn't even wonder why the trunk was open.  Turning, he yelled for Yami to show his face.  Silence was his answer.  That confused him.  Staggering to his feet, he headed for the hallway where he and Yams had chosen to crash.  The moment he stepped into the hallway, Yami stepped out of his room, in leather pants, black t-shirt and pulling on his golden pyramid necklace over his head.  Something was wrong with him but Joey's mind was too cloudy to figure it out.  "Yams why ya hiding in your room?  Anzu missed ya tonight.  You missed the celebration."

Yami then did a strange thing at least to Joey's addled brain.  He started shaking his head and pointing to the bathroom door.  "I've had a little problem." Yami whispered.

Joey shook his head until he realized that started the world spinning around.  He didn't get it- was there a burst pipe in the bathroom?  Was it angered by loud voices?  Yami sighed and continued to point at the door.  And then Joey heard it- a loud thumping noise, followed by a rattling noise.  "What the hell?" Joey muttered as he stepped over to the door and pulled it open.  The sight that greeted him was just too weird to comprehend.  So instead he closed the door and turned to his partner.  "Are you trying to tell me to leave so youse and your date can be alone?" He asked.

Yami's face grew as red as his eyes and he sputtered in anger.  "That is not my date.  I don't even know him."

"Well then why'd ya handcuff him to our pipes?" Joey asked, scratching his head in confusion.

"So he wouldn't escape." Yami answered through clenched teeth.  "I found him in the trunk of the car I just stole."

"Well we can't really use him Yams.  You're gonna have ta give him back." Joey said with a giggle.

"That's the thing Joey I can't just let him leave here- apart from knowing where our car business is the boy was kidnapped.  He's seen my face Joey.  If he goes to the cops I'll be arrested." Yami yelled.

"Not my problem pal.  This boy is your mess.  Kill him, take him to the woods and let him get lost, adopt him, I don't care but me, I'm about to be $20,000 richer." Joey declared, waving his bag of money.

"How'd you get that?" Yami demanded, grabbing for the bag.

"Not-uh partner.  This is my job.  Marik promised me $20,000 if I gave this money to his contact in 48 hours." Joey announced, pulling the bag out of his partner's reach.

"Come on Joey you know you need me.  Look I'll get rid of the squirt, and then the two of us can bring in the cash." Yami offered.

Joey grinned at the announcement, handing Yami the bag.  "Knew I could count on you Yams.  Now go forth and do battle while I try to stop the ringing in my ears."  As Joey lurched away Yami looked back at the door.  It was silent. 

'Maybe if I'm real quiet he'll fall asleep.'  Then the banging started again.  "Unlock me you jerk.  Get me out of here or I swear you'll pay," the noise screeched.  Yami sighed.  Ra must hate him.

---------------

Yugi Motou was not pleased.  First his brilliant kidnapping ploy had been completely messed up when he had really gotten kidnapped. And then his kidnapper had been cruel and locked him in the bathroom of all places, to some pipes.  Kicking and screaming, throwing everything in the medicine cabinet had only gotten him introduced to the other idiot in charge here, a drunk blond.  While Yugi could not deny that his kidnapper was cute, in a rough kind of way, he hated him for taking away any freedom he had.  So that was why, when the boy Yami unlocked his hands and dragged him to the car he pulled out a cigarette and started blowing smoke in his face.  Only to have the cigarette pulled out of his hands and used by Yami.  "Hey that's mine," he scowled, reaching for the cigarette.

Yami put his hand out to stop him as he took a long drag on it.  "It's been a long day kiddo- I need this.  Besides cute kids like you shouldn't smoke- it'll stunt your growth." He declared, flashing a smile.  While Yugi felt something stir inside him at the comment he also felt fury.  Reaching up, he smashed the smoke out of Yami's hand, dropping it on the floor, into a pile of rags.  "Whoops," he said innocently.

"You're a real piece of work, ya know that kid?" Yami asked before locking him in the car.  He demanded that Yugi keep his head down when he was driving but Yugi only followed that instruction for about 30 seconds.  After that he made up interesting ways to kill thieves, and horror stories about prisons.  He had just finished with the poisons he knew when Yami stopped the car.

"Get out." Yami demanded.  Yugi looked around the windows and shrugged.  "There's nothing out there."

"That's right- we're in the woods.  I drop you off here- you walk 5 miles to a gas station and call dear old grandpa so he can stop worrying about you." Yami taunted.

"But I can't be in the woods all night- some crazy would grab me and kill me." Yugi blurted out, scared for the first time.

"Yeah well good luck Yugi- it's been fun." Yami declared, jumping out of the car and opening the passenger door.

"No, I can't go." Yugi moaned, clutching onto the edges of his chair so he stayed stationary.

"Well it's time to say goodbye Yugi so just let go and we'll go our separate ways." Yami said, tugging on the boy's hands to let go.  Yugi wouldn't move.

"By Ra I don't understand you kiddo.  First you threatened to kill me if I didn't let you go then you want to stay?  Make up your mind." Yami said and with a great pull on his waist Yugi fell out of the car and onto Yami.  For a second Yugi couldn't breathe, being that close to the man.  Then he stood up, and Yami ran around to jump in the car.  Sensing his only chance of survival slipping away, Yugi did the unexpected and jumped on the hood of the car.  Yami was shocked, he could tell that.  And then he was angry.

"Get off the car Yugi." He yelled, rolling down his window.

"No.  This is my car and you're not taking off with it and leaving me in the middle of nowhere to die!" Yugi yelled back, getting louder with each word.  Yami started the car, glaring at Yugi.  Finally he sighed and unlocked the door.

"Get in." he ordered.  Yugi complied.

"I'm gonna drive you a mile away from the gas station and drop you off.  In 15 minutes you should get there.  Don't say a word about me- got it?" Yami announced.  Yugi nodded his head silently.  He had heard a final offer before.  

--------------

It was tugging at Yami's conscience.  The look on Yugi's face when he left him by the side of the road was heartbreaking.  Of course that could have been about his car driving away without him but Yami thought he looked really scared.  'He'll be alright.' Yami told himself as he pulled into the 7-11.  He walked in determined to get some alcohol to forget everything when the TV in the corner of the room piped up.

"Firefighters are still responding to the blazing inferno that was a warehouse in the Lake District.  The start of the fire seems to be from a cigarette butt.  Whether this was intentional or not is still being investigated.  Also the site of the fire appears to be the chop shop that police have been searching for weeks.  Police have gotten tips that Yugi Motou, grandson of gaming billionaire Solomon Motou, might have been taken there by his kidnappers but no bodies have been recovered.  In other news…"

Yami couldn't believe it.  His home for months all gone- because of that stupid kid and his bad habit.  It was a good thing he had left the squirt on the road or he'd be dead now.  And then Yami groaned. They have tips about the kidnapping and he was driving around in the stolen car.  Yugi could identify him.  If he didn't do something soon all of Yugi's horror tales would come true.

Tbc…

Hum, I bet everyone hates me now for the evil cliffhanger, sorry.  I will tell you so you don't worry this is not the end of Team Yugi Yami.  Next chapter Yami does some begging and Yugi gains the upper hand.  Ok so see you next update and tell me what you think of this chapter.
