~Chapter 11: Missing Prince Found~

After Yugi was lifted up onto the wall, thanks to Kage's telekentic powers, he checks the other side of it. He sees a courtyard, beautiful flowers and foilage decorated the place, making it look grand. Seeing that no one is around, Yugi sits on the top of the wall and gives an OK signal to the others below.

"Guys," he whispers. "let's do it."

Everyone, except Lily (who didn't know what they were going to do), nodded and created a human ladder. Yuke stood on the bottom. Jin climmed on top of him, followed by Jono, Kage, Koneko, and Lily, who was the lightest. Yugi helped Lily over the wall, reaching out his hand and grabbing hers. She blushed.

"Oh, Yugi, you're such a gentleman." she said sweetly, forgetting all about Koneko's threats.

Yugi gave her a weird look. "Uh, thanks. Watch yourself." He kept hold of her hands as she prepared to jump to the other side. "It's a long way down."

Lily dropped to the ground, landing roughly. "OW!" She yelled a bit too loudly.

"Are you hurt, Lily?!" Yugi whispered, in case anyone heard her.

"Yes." she wailed. She started crying. "I hurt my ankle!"

Koneko rolled her eyes.

"Not so loud, Lily; they could hear us." Yugi shushed her. "I'll be right there as soon as I can."

After helping Koneko and Kage over the wall, Kage helped him with the ones left. Koneko landed on the ground safely and frowned at the frail girl sitting on the dirt.

"You're pathetic." Koneko told her.

Everyone made it okay into the garden. Yugi inspected Lily's injuries.

"It's nothing serious, Lily." he said soothingly. "It's just a scratch."

Lily smiled at him. "Thank you so much, Yugi. But I feel faint." She jumped into his arms to be carried bride-style. "I'd love it if you carried me."

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

Meanwhile, in Yugi's Dimension...

A big explosion was heard in Marlene's house.

"Marlene, please, calm down!" Yami yelled, scared of the blonde. "That's probably the 20th thing you've blown up! You can hurt someone."

"Yeah, calm down, will ya?" said Jou.

Marlene sat alone in the couch since the others cowered away from her in fear of being the next things to blow up under her rampage. She glared bloody murder at the tv. Seeing Lily flirting so much with Yugi really ticked her off.

"I'll try." she muttered. Three or four veins popped on her forehead. 'That BITCH!'

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

In the Alternate Universe...

Yugi panicked by Lily's actions and dropped her. She fell hard with loud yelp.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Lily!" he apologuized, helping her up. "You scared me it's all."

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

In Yugi's dimension, Marlene's laughter could be heard. She felt better now.

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

"That's okay, cutie." Lily seized his arm.

"What are you doing in here?"

Everyone turned to where the voice came from. They see a girl with shoulder-length black hair and dark green eyes. There was something familiar about her.

Yugi stared at the girl and almost forgot about Lily. 'It's Anzu!'

To say the least, with her warrior clothes and the cold look on her face, she could almost pass as a man. She held a sword before her in defense position. But the one who talked was the younger man behind her. Apparently, she was protecting him. Yugi and the other men took out their swords in case she attacked. Yugi paused a moment to take a good look at the young man. He wore elegant clothes with a silk cape. He had short spicky blonde hair and sky blue eyes.

Yugi's eyes widened. He didn't notice Lily's tight grip cutting the circulation on his arm.

'It's Marik!' (the hikari) he thought alarmed. Then he felt great pressure on his arm. Without looking, he finally found the courage to shove Lily off him. The redhead stood up straight and bowed at the Marik lookalike.

"Prince Zukoi." she said.

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

In Yugi's Dimension...

"That's the prince?!" a collective yell was heard. Only Marik stayed quiet, staring at the screen.

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

In the Alternate Universe...

Kage and Yugi lowered their weapons. Following their leader's example, the rest did the same. Kage leaned over and whispered in Yugi's ear.

"Let Koneko and I handle this, Yugi." Yugi nodded.

Koneko and Kage stepped foward. "Zukoi." Kage greeted him. "You haven't changed that much."

"Lower your weapon, Amaya." said the prince. The woman protecting him did as told but didn't let her guard down. Zukoi stepped closer and stood beside her. "Kage? You have grown taller. And don not call me Zukoi. No matter what my mother says, I hate that name. I changed it to Hiroshi(1)."


"That's understandable." Jono whispered to Yuke, who snickered in return.

"What are you all doing here?" said Hiroshi. "There are a faces here I do not recognize. There is no need to spy on my mother."

"We're not here to spy on you." said Koneko. "Sorry, Zu-I mean-Hiroshi. This is Yugi, from the Prophecy of Light, and our current leader." She gestured to the small warrior. Then she introduced the oters pointing at each one while saying their names. "This is Jono, Yuke, Jin, and you already know Kage. I'm Koneko." She "forgot" to mention Lily.

Hiroshi looked bewildered. "Koneko?! I heard you were dead!"

Said girl sweatdropped and sighed. "I know."

The bodyguard Amaya turned an emotionless look to the prince. "My lord, if Her Highness finds out about them-" she started, her voice deep.

"She will not." Hiroshi interrupted her, and turned back to the traspassers. "Listen, you are here for the child then, are you not?"

"You mean," Kage was surprised and relieved at the same time. "he's alive? Cerulean's alive?"

"Yes. He was almost dicapitated when they brought him here. But I convinced my mother otherwise and kept him from being tortured. I suggest you take him before mother changes her mind."

"Can you take us to him then?" Yugi asked.

Hiroshi nodded. He glanced at Amaya. "Amaya, make sure no one finds out about this." The girl nodded and left. He looked back at the others. "Follow me."

Hiroshi guided the group through the empty halls of the palace. It looked like Amaya did her job well in clearing them from all the guards.

"It has been years, right Kage? Koneko?" said Hiroshi. "It is good to see you again. And it is a pleasure to meet you, Yugi. You look...stragenly familiar."

"We'll tell you later." said Koneko.

"Also, how is Umi, Neil, and Nessuro?"

"Umi is fine." said Koneko. "Neil and Nessuro? That's a long story."

"I see." He glanced at Yugi, who Koneko was trying to protect from Lily.

When they approached the huge double doors that belonged to his quarters, laughter was heard from inside the room.

Hiroshi sighed. "I told them to keep it quiet in there. They never listen to me." He opened the doors, rushed everyone inside, and closed the doors.

In the room, Amaya stood near the door, waiting. She nodded at them and showed them the rest of the rooms. Two little kids played and laughed near the king-size bed while another woman warrior sat on a chair watching over them. She had long black hair tied in a low ponytail and brown eyes, and she was only a few inches taller than Yugi. (Yukina, Hiei's sister, from YYH)

"Ryu, Cerulean!" Hiroshi called. Both kids looked at him and stopped playing, but kept chuckling. Yugi held back a gasp. The kids were the alternate selves of...(can you guess?)...Bakura and Malik (the yami)! Of course, there were differences. Bakura's lookalike has blue hair and hazel eyes. Marik's lookalike had less spicky hair than Marik, but you can still tell between Hiroshi and him, he had blonde hair and dark blue eyes.

'This place gets weirder with each person I meet.' Yugi thought to himself.

(SMG: "In case you guys are wondering how Yugi can tell between Ryou and Bakura; and Marik and Malik in the AU, it's because of their hair's spickyness. Besides, you recognize Bakura and Malik the moment you see the mischievious' looks in their eyes. That's all!")

"Everyone, this is Yasu, Amaya's cousin." said Hiroshi. The woman on the chair stood up, smiled kindly, and bowed respectfullly.

"Welcome." she said, her voice calm and softer than Amaya's.

"Have they been trouble, again?" Hiroshi gave Yasu a knowing, simpathetic look.

She gave him a reassuring smile. "The same as always. They started with hide-and-seek, now they are chasing each other."

"Patient as always." said Hiroshi.

Ryu and Cerulean stared at the newcomers. Cerulean, the youngest one in the room, gave them a mischievous grin.

"Hi!" he said, picking on his ear.

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

In Yugi's universe...

"Well, how...CUTE!" Marlene burst out laughing. Everyone, except Seto, Bakura, Marik, and Malik, was laughing so hard tears streamed down their cheeks. Bakura and Malik were staring at the tv screen in disbelief. Marik was thinking highly of himself ever since he saw he's a prince in an alternate universe.

Ryou stopped laughing when he noticed Marik's expression. He glanced at him worriedly.

"I hope this prince business doesn't go to his head." he muttered.

Too late. "HA! I'm in a position higher than the all-mighty pharaoh himself!" Marik yelled. Everyone stared at him with weird looks as he started boasting about himself.

"That's it." said Bakura. "Malik's influence has really gotten to him."

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

In the Alternated Universe...

A woman with grayish blonde hair sat on her throne. She wore royal clothes with lots of jewelry that matched her green eyes, and a crown. Her face had a few wrinkles and make up trying to hide them. She tapped her finger impatiently.

"Where is that idiot?!" she yelled.

The guards on each side of her chair stayed stiff, looking ahead.

The doors to the throne room opened and a man rushed inside carrying a rolled piece of paper. He stopped in front of the long stairs leading up to the throne, shaking like a lobster.

"Your *pant* Highness. I have *pant* information you *pant* requested." he said between exhausted breaths.

"Speak." said the queen. "I do not have all night."

"Yes, my queen." said the messenger. "It seems that Taokao's king is going to attack any minute now. Something strange is happening in the forest ever since the sun started to set."

"What is it?" the queen asked. "Are there soldiers in there?"

"I'm not sure, Your Highness." The queen's face turned red in anger. The messenger panicked and spoke before she could order an execution on him. "But I do believe dark magic is involved in this, my queen. This goes way over our heads!"

"It will be your head if you don't find out what exactly is going on! Now get going!" the queen roared.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The man bowed and ran like death was behind him.

The queen's expression turned thoughtful. "This is strange, indeed. Taokao's king does not have any dark magic skills that I know of. Unless he hired someone 'special' to do things for him." She glared and snorted. "He will not surprise me! I will kill him first!" She turned to one of her guards standing beside her. "Where is my son?! He should be training to take my place!"

The guard didn't look at her in sigh in respect. "He was last seen going to the palace gardens, Your Highness. Should I find him and bring him here?"

"No." said the queen. "Zukoi is so lazy. He refuses to fight the enemy country. I will fix him straight once and for all!" The queen stood from her throne and walked down the stairs. The guards left their position and followed her. They left the throne room and headed to Prince Hiroshi's room.

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

In Hiroshi's room...

Cerulean looked up at Kage. The young swordsman avoided the child's eyes, unable to face the kid. Suddenly, the mischievous look was gone in Cerulean's face. An honest smile remained.

"Kage." he called. "Look at me."

Kage looked down at him. "Yes, Your Highness."

"I know what you're thinking, Kage, and it wasn't your fault, okay?"

"But still-"

"No buts. Just one more thing."

"Yes?"

Cerulean frowned. "How many times must I tell you, don't call me Your Highness!"

Kage's eyes widened. "I'm sorry, Cerulean."

Cerulean's grin came back. "Too late! I'm gonna punish you for that! HA!" The kid jumped on Kage's back. The impact sent them both to the floor with Kage falling face-first. The two wrestled on the floor like brothers. Koneko chuckled under her breath in amusement.

"They get along better than I thought." she said.

Yugi smiled, amused as well. 'This could turn out to be a long night.'

That's when he heard footsteps approaching the room. His senses perked up and he turned to Kage and Cerulean.

"Hey, quiet. Someone's coming." Kage and Cerulean stopped fighting. They ended with Kage pinning Cerulean to the floor.

Amaya placed her ear on the doors and listened. Then she looked at Hiroshi. "My lord, it's the queen."

Hiroshi paled. "Oh no! If mother sees you all, all hell will break lose. And she thinks Cerulean is in the dungeons."

"This is not good." Yugi said.

"Yugi darling, please protect me!" Lily said as she finally got hold of him again.

Cerulean hid behind Kage, frightened. "The queen is scary." he whispered.

"I'll take your word for it, how can we get out of here?" said Jin.

"Zukoi, what are you doing?!" a voice called from the other side of the door.

'More familiar voices.' Yugi thought.

To Be Continued....

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


(1) I decided I don't like Zukoi for a name anymore. It's hard for me to find good Japanese names. I can barely distinguish girl names from boy names since most girl names end in 'ko' and most male names end in 'ra'. Forgive me for any errors in Japanese names made if you know of them. Like when I gave Botan a boy's name. I noticed too late that Akira is only a boy name. But I got a small list of names and I'm getting better lately.
