Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Probationis Vitae ❯ Plans ( Chapter 10 )

Plans

AN: I'm so sorry that this took so long. Like I said last time, my finals are coming up soon so I'm getting less and less free time. How wiped I am during next week will determine how much I get to write. Thankfully after next week we're out for Christmas vacation so I don't have to worry about that.

Thank you to all my reviewers, you really help me a whole lot:

Yana5

Rutu

Nekostar2

YYHgurl

Yugi Mutou

And here are the symbols:

/…../ is Yugi to Yami.

//…..// is Yami to Yugi.

\…..\ is Ryou to Bakura.

\\…..\\ is Bakura to Ryou.

^…..^ is Malik (hikari) to Marik (yami).

^^…..^^ is Marik to Malik.

"~…..~" is someone talking on the other end of a phone, walkie-talkie, etc.

~*~*~*~Last time~*~*~*~

"So, Selene's the High Priestess's reincarnation, she had the moon pendant, and Yugi's the pharaoh's reincarnation. To sum it up, we've had all three Keys around us since we came here with the book and haven't noticed it until just now." Jason said and let James nod before summing up his feelings all in one word. "Fuck."

~*~*~*~On with the story~*~*~*~

They were all silent for a few minutes, lost in their own thoughts, before Jake said, a mix between a humorous and solemn look on his face, "The way I see it, there are only two real options here."

"And just what are those?" James asked, very aware of the looks the Venators and Yugi exchanged and also very unnerved by the same looks.

"The old `kill of be killed' situation right?" Derek said with a slight smirk at his two lovers and other two friends.

"Yup," Jake said at the same time Seto said, rather uneasily, "Kill or be killed? What do you mean by that?'

"It means," Yugi said from his position beside Yami, a slight smirk on his face clearly saying that the one on the receiving end of this would not like it in the least, "that we go after them before they come after us. Take the offensive and mess with their minds as they messed with ours."

"I take it, this won't be pleasant for Them," Malik said more than asked, a small smirk playing on his lips.

"Hell no it won't. I can guarantee you that it never is. Last time we did this we screwed with their minds so badly that I was surprised they weren't admitted into the nearest mental facility," Jason said, a grin that could only be described as sadistic fully formed on his face.

"I like the way you think," Marik said and Bakura nodded in agreement, most of the others pushed down a shiver. The looks on their faces would've sent most people running for the hills.

"So," Damien said, a grin like Jason's gracing his lips, "how're we going to do this? Decoy, multiple decoys, deception, head-on, or a combination of any of the above."

"I'd say multiple decoys, tricks, decoy with deception, fake head-on with a stealth side," Yugi said and the Venators nodded. No matter how long it had been since he'd last done something like this, he'd never forget how. Hey, who would after living for two straight, or not so straight, years with these nut jobs with maybe two usually rational people.

//Hikari.// Yami said, pulling Yugi close.

/Yes Yami?/ Yugi asked looking up at his counterpart and lover, amethyst eyes shining with mischief and love for his yami.

//Please speak plainly. I believe you and the Venators are the only ones who knew what you were talking about.// Yami said, smiling slightly as an almost unnoticeable blush graced his hikari's features, it was just plain cute.

"Right." Yugi said aloud and turned to his fellow conspirators. "Um guys, I think we need to explain to them what exactly we just said. They're probably totally lost past the concept that we plan major pay back."

The remaining Venators looked surprised for a moment before Jake grinned. Jason, recognizing that grin to mean trouble, slapped his hand over the smaller red head's mouth and bit back a groan as Jake took full advantage of having Jason's hand there. Derek, seeing exactly what was happening-along with the rest of the room-,said, "Why don't we get something small to eat first. It's never really easy to think on an empty stomach. Especially when you will have to do a lot of thinking."

Yugi, knowing exactly how to stop Jake after having lived with him for two years, stood up, grabbed the nearest pillow, walked over to the trio still on the ground-everyone but said trio watching his every move-, and slammed the pillow down onto Jake's head eliciting a small yelp from the red head. Jake just glared at him slightly, Yugi doing his best to give him an innocent look while trying not to burst out laughing, before standing up and walking out of the room shortly followed by his boyfriends as they looked at each other, shrugged, stood up, and followed him. Yugi just snickered for a few moments before walking over to his yami and pulling him off the bed and leading him out of the room to the kitchen, after which the others followed.

After a quick and mostly clean lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, they all headed back upstairs into Yugi's room.

"So Yugi," Ryou asked when they'd all sat back down, "will you or someone else explain what you were talking about earlier?"

"Sure," Yugi said and was then, yet again, interrupted, this time by the phone. Everyone groaned and Yugi sighed and said, "I have to get it. It could be Grandpa and he'll be worried if I don't answer."

Yugi quickly walked out of the room to get the cordless phone and Derek spoke up, saying, "Every damn time. Just as I said before, every damn time. Something has to be against us, has to be."

~*~*~Somewhere unknown~*~*~

"Were we able to stop him?"

"No sir. We sent four of the monsters after the Vigilis and the Pharaoh and his companions, but the Vigil they sent down was stronger than we guessed. He managed to put the whole of the museum to sleep along with banish the monsters back to the Shadow Realm. But I am happy to report that he isn't as strong as he could be as just that seemed to strain him quite a bit."

"Well, it seems we may have to skip step three. Go directly to step four. Bring the Pharaoh and the Key here as soon as possible, and be wary of traps. Now that they know of us they will most likely try to confuse us. Especially since we recently discovered exactly who those four mystery young men traveling with the Priestess are part of the infamous group the Venators. They rank among the top I believe."

"Yes sir. We will send out professionals in this area to get them here. We will not fail you sir."

"You better hope you don't. If you do, the consequences may be fatal. And remember, while the High Priestess may be strong the Pharaoh is stronger and his counterpart is just as strong. They will be more difficult. Don't underestimate them. Like I said, you will not enjoy the consequences if you do."

The sound of a gulp is heard before the same voice belonging to the lower man said shakily, "Yes sir. We will not fail. I promise you that."

"You are dismissed."

"Yes sir." The sounds of someone leaving the room.

"This time I will be the one who ends up victorious Pharaoh. Mark my words, you and all your friends will pay for what happened before. I will lock every last one of them in the Regnum Tumultuosorum Somniorum for the rest of eternity."
