Personal Thoughts

I know I haven't updated in a long while. Especially when it comes to this story. I was working over the summer, and I am back in college. I don't know how often I am going to be able to post new chapters. I hope you enjoy what I have here. ^_^ Tiger_Serenity

Yin and Yang

Chapter 18

********************Normal P. O.V.******************

Splash!!!

"Damn it!"

Thunk!

"Ow!"

Crash!

"Ow! Goddam it!"

"Ryou, get off of me." Bakura's voice sounded weird, but Ryou couldn't see why because he was lying on top of him.

"Only if Kurtan gets off of me first. Ow…my back…"

"Ow…oh Ra…that hurt…" Kurtan groaned.

"Get off!"

"Oops! Sorry!" Kurtan stood up quickly, but fell back onto his backside with a clang. His helmet fell off of his head. "I see you have inherited Bakura's bad sense of direction."

Kurtan looked up to see several monsters laughing. Oscuro and Yami were rolling around on the ground in fits of laughter. Yami was hiccupping and close to tears.

"It's not funny, you two, and you know it." He put a hurt look on his face.

Oscuro stood up, still laughing, to help him up. "Are you all right, Tan? Anything broken?"

"Nothing you can't fix later." Kurtan smirked. Oscuro blushed bright red. Yami again started laughing from his spot on the ground.

"Oh…haha…this is just…to good…I wish I...hic…I had a…hic…camera! Did you …haha…enjoy your bath…hic…Bakura?"

"Bath? What bath, Yami?" Kurtan turned to see Ryou helping a sopping wet Bakura out of a small shallow pool. "We landed in a pool?"

"Correction. I landed in a pool. You landed on to of Ryou, who landed on top of me. You could have moved it, Oscuro."

"I did."

"What?!"

"Would you have preferred to land on stone?"

"Uh…no."

"Just as I thought."

*******************Ryou's P.O .V.******************

"Are you all right, Kura? I really didn't mean to land us here." At least I didn't get too wet. Kura sure looks good with that shirt plastered to him, though…

\\ I do, do I? \\

\ Augh! You weren't supposed to hear that! \ Ryou blushed pink.

Bakura lunged towards Ryou, causing him to squeak in surprise. He pulled him into a bear hug, soaking him in the process as he shook his wet hair. \\ There. Now you are even wetter. You don't look too damn bad yourself. \\

Ryou blush turned even redder. \ Kura…\

\\ Don't worry. I'll help you dry off later. \\ The suggestive looked in his Yami's eyes sent a shiver down his spine. \\ We will continue this later, Ryou, at home. \\

I can't wait...

"Oscuro, do you…hic…mind helping…hic…me with these…hic…damn…hic…hiccups!"

"No, I do not mind, Yami." A faint purple glow appeared briefly around Yami. "There."

"Thank you. Now after that impromptu entertainment, let's get down to business." His voice turned cold. "Yugi is free. He warped himself out of where they were holding him. He is asleep inside. Selo, Suno, Luco, Crest, and Maza are guarding outside. We need to formulate a new plan. Bakura, you remember what happened in the past. They may be sealed to the Shadow Realm, but they can still cause damage."

"How?" Ryou looked between the two stone-faced yamis. This must be serious…for Kura to be acting this serious…

"Kaiba's duelling systems."

"I don't understand, Yami."

"When a monster is summoned in a duel, they exist in partial reality. They are like a ghost, but not. Part of them exists on Earth, part in the Shadow Realm. In this state, they are still able to attack and defend. Because part of the monster exists on Earth, the Devil Monsters can use them to attack it. They would seize control of the part that exists in the Shadow Realm, thus bending it to their will."

"Which means mass destruction, just like in the past, if we can't stop them somehow." Bakura's hand moved subconsciously to the small of Ryou's back. It rubbed in lazy circles. Ryou knew Yami and the others noticed, but they didn't comment. "And there is no way of shutting them down."

"Wait…maybe there is…" Ryou had been thinking as he leaned back into Bakura's ministrations.

"How?"

"Come on. I have an idea. I need to ask Kaiba a question." Ryou ran into the house. Bakura and the others followed after him, confused.

********************Seto's P. O.V.**************

They had been waiting for what seemed like ages. He felt his eyes drooping farther down by the second. Ryou was the first one to come skidding into the room. He leaned over, trying to catch his breath. The others were right behind him.

"Kaiba, do you have access to every duel system your company has built?"

"Yes. There is a chip in each system that sends information about each duel to a satellite. This is relayed to my master computer. With this, I can check for any misuse. Why do you ask?"

"Good. We need to shut them all down."

"All of them? Why?"

Yami stepped forward. "We'll explain why later. Can you shut them all down, Kaiba?"

"Yes, but we'll have to go back."

"I think it would be best if we did. It is too dangerous for all of you to be here."

"But what about, Yugi? Should he be moved?" Anzu moved closer to Honda, who wrapped his arm even tighter around her middle.

"He will sleep for a while longer." Yami picked up Yugi. Yugi sighed and curled into him, tucking his nose under Yami's chin. Yami blushed bright scarlet to match his eyes as he gazed down at him. He gently squeezed his light against his chest.

Ra damn it! If those two don't figure out how much they love each other, I am going to scream! Can't Yami see how much Yugi adores him!? Everyone else can!

"To Kaiba's"

*******************Jou's P.O. V.******************

They had all landed at Kaiba's. Yami laid Yugi on the couch, causing Yugi to whimper softly at the loss of Yami's warmth. He then proceeded to explain why the duel systems needed to be shut down. They were waiting for Kaiba to come back in the room. Jou watched Yami playing with the sleeping Yugi's hair. The look in his eyes made Jou want to cry.

They care for each other so much. It is so easy for everyone to see…except them. They're lucky, though. At least the one they love loves them back. Seto…what would you say? You'd probably just laugh. And that would be the worst thing… You always taunt me. You tempt me. In my dreams, you are mine.

And I am yours.

Kaiba's loud shout broke his thoughts. "What do you mean, some of the duel disk systems didn't have chips?!" They gathered around the door, listening intently.

A female computer voice responded with a huff. "You ran out of them, remember."

"No, I don't!"

"Didn't the manufacturer tell you?"

"No! I'll fire them all! Damn it! Were all of them returned after Battle City?"

"All but five systems."

"Who has them?"

"Two belonged to you and Yugi Motou. You destroyed them after they malfunctioned from the god cards"

"I remember. What about the other three?"

"They were registered to the duellists, Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood, and Bandit Keith."

"Not those three!" Yami jerked and slammed his hand into the wall, shocking everyone.

"What are we going to do now?"

"Find them." Seto's voice was ice cold. Jou shivered at the sound of it. "Can you pinpoint their location?"

"Unfortunately, without the chips, I can't"

"Just great. Cut the transmissions of the other duel systems. I'll put out a search for the other three."

"As you wish." Numbers and letters flashed across several screens. Kaiba reached over and pulled down a lever labelled 'Mainframe.' "You do realize that there are going to be several thousand pissed off people. I cut off quite a few duels."

"They can do it the old way."

"The last know whereabouts of Raptor, Underwood, and Keith are from Battle City."

"And if we can't find them before they use them, we could have trouble. Serenity, you watch Yugi. We'll go look for them." Yami walked towards the door. "Mokuba, you come with me." Authority rang in his tone. No one challenged him.

The pharaoh that is was is shining though…I'm with Seto, again.

"I'm going to make them pay for keeping those. It's Kaiba property."

******************Anzu's P.O. V.******************

It's so late, or early depending on how you think about it. I am so tired. I haven't slept all night. The sun is starting to raise right in front of me.

They had left Kaiba's to search for the duel disks. Honda and Anzu had taken the north-eastern part of town. Anzu started feeling queasy with each passing moment. Why am I getting this feeling?

"Anzu, are you all right? You look pale. Maybe we should call off the search until later today. You need to rest." Honda pulled her to a stop. His arm went around her waist. She leaned into him.

"I'm fine. If what Yami says is true, then we need to find them as soon as possible. I just…feel strange."

Suddenly her face turned to shock as images flew before her eyes. "Yugi! Yami! No!"

"Anzu?!"

"We need to get across town! Now!" She ran as fast as she could on her tired legs, praying that they would arrive on time.

*******************Yami's P.O .V.******************

"Where are those idiots? I have already asked several people if they have seen them. You'd think someone would have."

"I haven't heard anything either, Yami." Mokuba shook his head as he walked up next to him.

"We need to find Rex and Weevil as soon as possible."

"What are the chances of them using the disk systems today?"

"When they find out that the other systems are down…high. They battle every day in the hope of improving their cheating skills. They hope to one day defeat Yugi and I. Not that it would ever happen." Yami smirked.

Then he froze. A look of horror crossed his face. Mokuba ran right into him. "Yami?"

"Those idiots! They're using the disks. Weevil just summoned his Great Moth." He started running.

"How do you know?" Mokuba kept pace beside him.

"I just felt the power surge. I can do that. So can Yugi, Ryou, and Bakura. Your brother can also sense it occasionally if the surge is strong enough. I know where they are now. Come on!" Yami ran right though the warp he created. Mokuba ran right behind him without pause. "Weevil, stop!"

A thick-framed glasses wearing boy froze as he was placing a card onto the disk system strapped to his arm. "Yugi Motou? What are you doing here?"

"Power down the systems! Now!"

"Why should we? Do you want to duel one of us?" Rex Raptor sneered.

"Great Moth, return to the Shadow Realm. Now!" Yami faced the huge bug floating before him.

"Shadow Realm? What are you talking about, Yugi?"

"I'm not Yugi! I order you as your High Master to return!"

"Too late, pharaoh." A chilling buzz filled the air.

"No!"
