Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Surprise ❯ Chapter 2

"Yami…" confusion. Fear. Weakness. It was all that Yuugi could feel. What was wrong with his counterpart? He was asking for a game. A game. Yuugi knew what that meant.

"Save your strength, you're going to need it. A game of tag sound good?"

"Tag?" another hit. It was stronger this time, of course, this time it was a piece of the stairway that had broken off when Yuugi had fallen down it.

"Rule number one: No questions. This is a rule for all the games that we'll play. Sound simple enough?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He just started laughing. He thought it was funny. He really thought that. I couldn't believe it! He'd gone insane. I kept hoping that that was it. If those feelings weren't the result of something his mind did against his will… I… I…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"You run, I chase. If I catch you, and I will, I get to do what I want with you"

"You've done a lot to me already. Wh-" Yuugi stopped. If he asked anything, he'd suffer another blow. He put his fingers near the puzzle to take it apart, just for a while. But he couldn't. When his fingers got close enough to do anything, Yami forcefully kicked his hand.

"You were saying?" Yami raised an eyebrow.

"All right," he said it so quietly it was almost inaudible.

"That wasn't it, but that doesn't matter. Let's play," the Pharaoh once again snapped his fingers and the hotel room changed to a large empty stone room. The torches looked a little more a home here, "Run"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Oh, I ran. So fast. I thought I might be able to outrun him for at least a little while. I don't know why. He still had that piece from the stairway and used it to trip me a couple times. He wasn't running as fast as he could, that I knew. I thought the room was a perfect square, but there were sides of the room covered by oddly perfect shadows. We'd been running for who knows how long. He tripped me again and this time kept me on the ground. Why? It was all I could think. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why!?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The dark one had placed his foot on Yuugi's back, watching the innocent one struggle to breathe. Yuugi was absolutely exhausted while Yami didn't seem to be phased at all. He pressed his foot down harder and put the stairway piece on the back of the little one's neck, further suffocating the boy. He was beginning to fell faint while Yami pressed down even harder. Then the weight from the stairway piece was lifted off. Too bad it was then quickly smashed back to Yuugi's neck.

The little one whispered, "Why?" and Yami replied with stamping the heel of his foot into Yuugi's spine.

"You broke rule number one"

"I… I… don't… care. I've got a right to-"

"Quiet runt!" using the stairway piece to roll Yuugi over the dark one pulled out a syringe, "This should shut you up for a bit"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I felt a prick in my wrist. I didn't know what it was and I still don't. It appeared the torches were burning out. I think he used some chloroform on me after the prick. I passed out seconds later.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

If you for some unexplainable reason thought that things were going to get better when the little one came to you're in for a big… surprise. Yuugi woke chained to a wall by his neck. And what insane person would leave one of his captives free at the hands and feet? Those were also chained, and to make everything a bit more uncomfortable, they were all chained at the same spot.

"Wha… what happened?" the memories shot back to the boy in seconds and his eyes filled with sorrow, "Oh, Yami"

"What?" Yami gave his counterpart a kick. He seemed to have come accustomed to doing that.

"Yami!?" Yuugi looked at his other half. It appeared he had both the Millennium Puzzles.

"You're lucky we're not playing anything. I could strike you. Then again…" strike he did. Yuugi screamed out. What had he been hit with!? It burned, slashed, and stung his cheek, right under the eye. Some of the blood fell into Yuugi's mouth, the copper taste made him shudder.

"Let me go"

"I'm the one who gives orders here"

"What happened to you?"

"You're never going to quit, are you? I don't owe you an explanation, runt!"

"Please?" Yuugi didn't have the strength to really do anything else. He barely had enough power left to talk and wasn't sure if he could fight his exhaustion any longer. He was still a bit dazed from whenever he was last awake.

"Sigh. You're pathetic" the dark one narrowed his eyes, "How did I ever tolerate you? You're nothing"

"Yami…"

"You're persistent, I'll give you credit for that, but persistence has its limits"

"D-"

"Oh, shut up" he gave the little one a slap and walked away muttering, "Pathetic, just pathetic"

Yuugi looked again around the room as Yami left. His body was aching from the position he was in. Once again, he saw the white piece of material, but more of it this time. It was white on one side and another color on the other. He also saw the heel of a shoe. All those items went into the shadows, away from his view.

'Who was that?' he thought.

A/N: Once again I stop! Should I dodge paper balls because of the cliffhanger, or because I may have totally mucked up the whole story with this chapter? Thank you for all your wonderful comments. Remember reviews are good even if all you say is, "Blippy-bloppy bling blong blau"
