Chapter 2: Someone's AFTER Me...

 

“Grandpa, everything's good, right? Din-Chan said she wanted to see me.” Solomon Mutou nodded to his grandson as he walked down the stairs.

“Yes, Yugi. Will she be staying here?”

“No.” He shook his head. “She's staying at BSHQ. Said that we don't have a spare room and she didn't want me sleeping in the living room like last time.”

“You didn't sleep well last time. That's why.”

“That's not the point.”

“To her it is.” Kaiba retorted from the couch. “She's got a heart of gold, that D.D. Literally.” Yugi scowled.

“Why are you here again?”

“Because D.D's MY concern too.”

“And how is that?” Kaiba scoffed.

“She's an old friend.” He retorted. Yugi rolled his eyes.

*Ding-Dong*

The scowl on the young boys face was gone, replaced with a smile.

“I'll get it!” He said cheerfully. Yugi yanked the door open to reveal a young girl with long red hair, tied back into a braid that reached her heels (Which were clad in red ballet flats). Her red dress was somewhat childish, a ribbon tied into a bow on the waist, flowing out with frills on the end like you would find on a porcelain doll. Her golden eyes shone with nostalgia, joy and...

Was it just him or did she seem somewhat....petrified?

“Indigo...” She started, smiling gently. He missed her quiet Valley-Girl like voice. She took a step forward and embraced him. “I missed you.” He hugged her right back.

“Missed you too, D.” Yugi grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. She laid eye on Seto Kaiba and smiled.

“Set-Chan....” He smiled half-heartedly.

“You're still calling me that old nick, huh?” Her smile fell. She grabbed one arm and rubbed it nervously.

“We-Well.....if you d-don't want me t-to...”

“Glo-RY, Din-Chan.” He said with an eye roll and a smirk. “I was KIDDING.” She smiled weakly.

“O-Oh.” Yugi's eyes darted to her smile. It seemed....tired. She seemed tired. But not in a jetlag type of tired. More like a.....

“Viper...have you been sleeping?” He asked seriously. She sighed.

“N.....No.... I haven't slept. I can't sleep.” Yugi lead his little cousin to the couch. She seemed so much more tired than she should've been, even without sleep. “I got caught in a fight so that might be another reason.” She added. He nodded. His grandfather smiled at her.

“Din-Chan. It's nice to see you're back.” She smiled again.

“It's nice to BE back, Grandpa.”

“Would you like something?”

“No, it's alright. I'm going to HQ after this. I wouldn't want to burden you.”

“Mmm, alright then.” He said, leaving the room. Kaiba turned to his old friend.

“No sleep D.D.? Why's that. Oh and if you try to lie to either of us, we'll know because you completely suck at lying so you might as well tell us the truth.”

“Someone's watching me.” She blurted out, upset and scared. Yugi looked at her strangely.

“What?”

“I-I feel like someone's....AFTER me....its crazy I know but I just can't shake the feeling...”

Then she did the worst thing in the world; she started crying.

“I can't sleep. I feel like they'd come after me in my sleep. I'm scared.....” She took in a shuddering breath. “And even then, I've seen something come after me. Every time I turn around when I get the `I'm being followed' feeling, there's a shadow or something and then it disappears. I know I've seen it because it watched me before too. And now it's back...” Kaiba sighed.

“Oh, Din-Chan, it's nerves. Probably from not sleeping.”

“I'm not sleeping because I'm paranoid. It's because....” Her gentle already quiet voice shrunk to a tiny squeak. Yugi leaned forward.

“Because...”

“Well, Indigo...you know that on the ship, there was a mirror in my room, right?” He nodded. “Well, that's why I can't sleep. It's my reflection. It....It seems different now, like it's....not my reflection anymore. Like it's something else.” Yugi looked to the C.E.O. whose eyes had grown huge.

“We-We'll look into it, D.”

“Y-You believe me?”

“Of course.” `Indigo' reassured her. “Of course, Viper.” She tried to stifle her weeping.

“Something is after me.” She said, tears falling down her cheeks. Yugi bit his lip.

Scratch the above comment. This was the worst thing in the world. Watching his little cousin cry because someone was after her.

And she didn't even know why.
