- Chapter II: My Past, My Lover, My Pain -

********************

"Well, well, I wasn't expecting that little Mutou Yuugi would be among your ranks, Kinomoto," Kaiba purred, hands folded in front of him as he leant on the oak desk (i.e; Gendo Ikari), his little brother still staring at the teen who had once upon a time been the same size as a ten-year-old. Yuugi felt like snapping back a retort but kept his composure cold and indifferent, however his eyes kept on flickering back to Yami......Inari......whichever he went by these days. As a child, he'd always looked up to the elder boy who acted just like his real name before that admiration had blossomed into obsession and love. When he had his past catching up to him months ago, Yuugi wondered that if he ever saw Inari again, would he still have those feelings? It had been a silly little puppy crush back then......

......And he'd been hurt by it.

Yuugi's rage eventually got the better of him, plus there was only so much pain your palms could take with nails digging in. "What the fuck do you think you're doing to him, Kaiba?!" Priss and Seiya had to physically restrain him from tackling the billionaire and strangling his classmate to death......no, they weren't classmates anymore, hell he wasn't even sure if Kaiba was human. Kaiba's laughter got on his nerves, enough to make him wrench himself free from their grasps but remained where he was. Mokuba looked scared shitless but he paid no attention to the small child and focused on his older brother. "Why Inari, Kaiba? Why any of us? What the fuckin' hell do you want from us?!"

"Mokuba, keep it up." Slowly, the frightened teen did so. "Little Yuugi, don't you know the power Yami possesses? According to Egyptian folklore, a great Pharaoh sealed away a great power little over three thousand years ago, sealed it into seven magical items. Your friend Yami here is a descendent of that Pharaoh; generations of his family have kept their hidden locations a secret. Legend has it that they are the key to world conquest." The brunet stood and walked over to the mainframe his brother was monitoring, a smug smile on his lips as he observed the captured street punk in the stasis tube, icy sapphires meeting half-frightened half-angered rubies.

"And I intend on taking that power."

"Fat fuckin' chance of that happening!" Hearing the smaller teen's yell and the shouts from his friends, Kaiba turned just in time to see a blur run past and up to the stasis tube, revealing to be the young Mutou. Yuugi's eyes scanned the glass for a weak point, fist raised and a silver aura surrounding it.

"Mokuba, now!"

"I-it'll take at least a minute or so......"

"I don't care, you little brat! Do it NOW!" Mokuba looked hurt at the branding but nonetheless complied, always following his brother's wishes even though he knew it was wrong.

"GINGITSUNE RENSHA!" (Silverfox rapid-fire)

Yuugi's cry interrupted everything and the loud shattering of glass that followed was deafening, swallowing the room up into silence. Blue ooze began to flood the room, dripping red blood from the cut glass in his fist flowing smoothly with it, Priss and Seiya running over to help their friends. Murderous amethysts locked on Kaiba's own orbs of blue, Yuugi kneeling by the redhead as he coughed up the liquid substance and blood. "What the hell gives you the right to do things like this?!" Oh, he was furious to an alarming state, furious enough to rip the glass away from his skin and not feel any pain. But he could feel the rage burning deeply, forming into something that had been hidden under the persona of an innocent teenager for so long.

"Kaiba! There'll be hell to pay for this!" Silver flames were now leaping around Yuugi's body, his cold amethysts now orbs of pitch-black nothingness, the whiteness of his eyes silver. Seiya, noticing the change with some alarm, quickly picked up the redhead and sprinted out of the room, Priss also sensing the large array of chi radiating from the other teenager. Looking on after Seiya had long since run out of the room, Yuugi's strangely deep voice interrupted her thoughts. "Romanova, take Mokuba and get out of here. He has nothing to do with this." Swallowing, the elfin girl nodded before leaping over the stream of blue ooze and blood, grabbing the ebony-haired boy with some weak protests from the young teen before disappearing in a purple light. A silver crossbow appeared in Yuugi's left hand, a flame-like version of a bow appearing in his right.

Kaiba's instincts told him to run.

The street legend Shirubaafokkusu was angry.........

"GINGITSUNE GOUKA!" (Silverfox Hell fire)

"Sir, our communications with Kaiba Corporation have been destroyed," a guard stated from the doorway of a darkened room that was lit only by the fireplace. "From what our satellites can confirm, the building was destroyed, along with Seto Kaiba himself and the people within, by someone named......Yuugi........."

A dark chuckle reached his ears. "You may leave." Hesitantly, the guard turned, his footsteps telling the teenager in front of the fire that he was gone. A cold, cruel smile curled on his lips. "Seto Kaiba was a little fool, nothing but my puppet, as have others been before him. But now, after countless years of searching for the Millennium Items' guardian and little Yuugi steps in my way. It appears he's more powerful than I thought. And his hidden and confused love for the boy Yami will make him stop at nothing to ensure everyone's safety in that gang of his. But perhaps persuasion can be met......" Looking out of the corner of his eye, he smiled wickedly at the bound and gagged figure behind him.

Bakura Ryou stood from his seat, flipping his white locks over his shoulder as he turned to survey his captive, Sugoroku Mutou, with a malicious gleam in his eye before walking over and kneeling down jerking the old man's unconscious head up with one hand and a seemingly-innocent smile. "They were fools to think they could stop me in my goals, but don't you worry about a thing, old man. Little Yuugi is sure to come for the only living family he has left, ne? And if he doesn't fork over what I know he has......" One of his fingernails dug into the soft skin, dragging downwards and drawing blood along with a soft moan from the elderly Mutou's hidden lips.

"......I'll just have to kill you, won't I?"

********************

- Back at......er, the remains of KC -

********************

Mokuba was sitting at the edge of the curb, face in his hands while quiet tears rolled down his cheeks. Priss sat behind him, rocking him gently in her arms like he was a small child after a nightmare. Seiya was nearby, fixing Yami's wounds tenderly. The other male hadn't said a word since they'd managed to escape the fireblast, the flesh and bodies of the workers inside falling around them. Already firefighters were on their way and citizens had woken from their sleep in the nearby houses to come and see what all the commotion was about.

"Man, what a trip!" The four of them looked over their shoulders to see Yuugi emerge from the blaze with a wild shake of hair, the body in his arms burned and tattered. With a cry, Mokuba broke from Priss's arms, standing and running over. Yuugi stood quietly, letting the young Kaiba survey the body of his older brother before the tears began falling again, fists pounding against Yuugi's chest weakly. The elder male set the body down between them, catching the raven-haired one's hands and leaning down to whisper to him.

"Seto Kaiba was not responsible behind his actions against my friends, Mokuba, he was being controlled by someone more powerful than himself but killing him was the only way to free him. Before he died in my arms, he told me to tell you he loved you far more than he was ever allowed. And to ask for forgiveness."

Yuugi let the other drop to his knees with a choked sob, burying himself on his older brother's chest and crying his pain out in the darkness surrounding them only lit by the silver fire that was slowly being destroyed by the water from the rain pouring down and the firefighter's hoses. For something that was completely out of his character and only ever used with his mask of a seemingly innocent teen, Yuugi bowed apologetically before making his way over to the other three street fighters, not once looking back over his shoulder in regret.........

********************

- Hours later at the Kame Game Shop -

********************

Yuugi leant on the front of his motorcycle, inhaling and then exhaling with the cigarette in between his lips and fingers. He hadn't smoked since he'd at least been thirteen and had long since vowed not to but it was a stress reliever he needed badly. Trying to keep your emotions intact was one thing, having someone who you were aquainted to die in your arms just for someone's sick and twisted games was another. Angunahitobito had long since met and departed, every one of the gang members saying they were glad he was back in their ranks but every single one of them had agreed that if someone was after Inari then they'd have to pass him around them to keep him safe.

"Shiruu.........are you alright?"

He opened his eyes, looking at Yami who had been standing there ever since he'd started smoking. His look-alike's ruby gaze was disturbing, as if he knew something was troubling the younger version of himself. "You didn't have to agree to the first watch."

A small laugh left Yuugi's lips as he threw the cigarette to the ground, snuffing it out. "You think I'm still sore because you turned me down? Inari, I'm not the pathetic little child I was, I don't care about that any more. More to the point, I'm confused as to why you never told us about your little family secret before."

Yami looked away, running a hand through the strange hairstyle that was the same colour as his eyes. "Probably because nobody ever went after me before. Look, Shiruu - the Ansekishoku tie to Ancient Egypt is a delicate one, we don't go telling everyone. And the legends are true; the Millennium Items grant whatever wish you want. Another reason I never told you or the others - most of the ones who have gone after the Items have wanted the power to rule the world, have everyone under their thumb as it were. The one who was controlling your friend Kaiba wanted just that."

Yuugi straightened out his hair, thumb brushing against his many ear piercings as he got off his Ninja. "Let's just go inside, Inari. I'm feeling a tad shitty and if I'm not woken up at a late hour, there's hell to pay. School doesn't count." Walking over, Yuugi pulled out his keys to the game shop, surprised when it was already unlocked. He blinked, glancing at the ruby-eyed other. "Strange. Grandfather doesn't normally leave it unlocked at this hour." However, both walked in, the younger calling out that he was home.

Running footsteps indicated something was wrong, clashing with Yuugi's gut feeling.

"Yuuge!" A battered and patched-up Jounouchi appeared at the doorway to the connected house, panting slightly from the run. "Man am I glad to see ya......" He trailed off when he saw Yami, considering the other was almost a replica of his younger friend, minus the fact that his hair was one colour, not tri-coloured. "Uh, who'se dat?"

"Never mind!" the Mutou snapped, startling both of the other boys and making a hurt look appear in Yami's eyes for a moment. "What's wrong? Where are the others and grandfather??" Jounouchi scratched the back of his neck. "Yuuge, after ya left Ryou went psycho, beat us ta near death an' kidnapped ya gramps, leaving dis note!" Yuugi snatched the note from the blonde's hands, fury dancing in his eyes at the blood-written letter.

To the little punk known as Yuugi Mutou -

Or should I be calling you Shirubaafokkusu now? It's been such a long time, hasn't it my little pet? I remember watching you as a child, how I wished to join you on your little escapades with that gang of yours.

But of course, let's move on to more pressing matters, shall we? I want the millennium items, no doubt you have by now figured out that Kaiba was just my little puppet. I have your grandfather, you have the one known as Yami Ansekishoku a.k.a Inari, let's trade, hm? As you know now, your friend Yami has the location of the items I seek and should you want your grandfather in good health, you'll bring him to me.

Or else.

I look forward to our meeting, Yuugi.

Bakura Ryou

P.S. By the way, Yuugi, I just thought you might like to know I had fun tearing the blood from your grandfather for this note. You must get your stubborn nature from him.
