Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Surprise ❯ Chapter 4

A/N: [insert comments no one reads here]

"Revenge? Wha… I don't get it," Yuugi was glad that at least Yami told him what was going on, but he was now more confused than ever.

"Of course you don't."

"Yami-"

"You'll never get it."

"Tell me, please?"

Yami looked away from Yuugi, "Back to begging are we?"

"Yami!"

"I thought that you'd want to know what happened to your friend," a mischievous smile crossed Yami's face, "Time to play another game."

"What game?"

"War," Yami pulled out a poker deck and began to shuffle it rapidly.

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

War. Nice game Yami. He made some adjustments to the rules. He snapped his fingers and a table came up from the ground. I thought that it was weird that the table didn't come up magically but was brought up mechanically. I even heard the gears from the ground whirring. Yami told me that we each draw three cards from the top of the deck. We lay those cards face down, not knowing ourselves what they were, and randomly pick one to flip face up each turn. The higher card wins…

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

"…and if you win the turn, I'll let you ask a question, since you like to so much, and I'll answer it truthfully. Sound fair?"

"If-"

"If you lose, I get to do one thing that I want to you. Ready to play?" Yami flipped up his first card, "Ace of Clubs, lucky me"

"Six of Hearts," Yuugi felt a strong pain in his wrist. Blood trickled down onto the table.

"Hmm. You don't know how much I love seeing you wince in pain," Yami flipped another card, "King of Spades"

Using his better hand, which was still not very good, thanks to the bindings from before, "Ace of Hearts"

"Hmm. Now I guess you get to ask something. But what to ask?" Yami began his taunting, "So many whys and hows and wheres. Which little inquisition runt?"

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

Which indeed? I need to know about Jounouchi. But I also need to know what Yami has to get me back for. Then there's that person. There's so much I need to know. I decided to find out where Jounouchi was.

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

"What did you do with Jounouchi? Tell me everything."

"Not much to tell. He's somewhere in this hotel. I can't say that the make inu is well."

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

Make inu. It was starting to make sense. Pieces of cloth, one side white, the other side another color. Maroon. Kaiba's trench coat was maroon on the inside. And he definitely had it in for me. I saw someone in the shadows again.

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

"Whose that?" Yuugi wasn't about to let this fact go. He studied the figure, thinking it might have been the mysterious person he'd seen in this room and the lobby.

"You used your question," Yami flipped his last card up, "Jack of Spades"

"Last one," Yuugi muttered as he flipped his last card up, "Queen of Diamonds."

Yami looked at the shadows, "You want him to come out?"

"I'd like it."

Yami once again looked at the shadows. The figure nodded it's head and came out of it reverie.

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

I couldn't believe it.

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

"Impossible. I thought…"

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

Well what else could I think? I didn't suspect… it… was…

A/N: Now we're getting somewhere. I'm sneaky, aren't I? Don't worry, you guys will understand everything soon enough. For those of you who didn't know make inu means "pathetic dog." It's one Kaiba's nickname for Jounouchi.
