~~Chapter 2~~
Yugi roused to the sun in his eyes and an aching body. Pain was not unfamiliar to him - as the smallest kid in school, he’d always been a bully magnet - but this pain was different. He rolled over in his bed to get away from the light and found himself unable to. That woke him completely; beside him, cuddled tight in the narrow space, Atem slept soundly, a beatific smile on his face. Bits of gold still glittered in his dark hair. Everything came back to him, and he shivered. For a moment he was tempted to just cuddle right back down beside his yami, but he felt sweat-sticky, grungy, and wanted a shower. With a sigh, he wiggled free of Atem’s grip and slid out of bed. The Pharaoh frowned and groped the sheets for a moment - Yugi kissed him gently on the forehead and Atem settled down again into deep sleep.
In the bathroom, Yugi stepped into the shower and turned on the water, relaxing in the hot spray. He washed the remnants of makeup and the night’s exertion off, trying to ignore his spinning thoughts and emotions.
He remembered the first time Atem had used the shower after he’d been resurrected. Yugi’d thought the other would never get out.
{“Atem? Are you almost done? I’m going to be late for school!”
:But this is heavenly, aibou. Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?: A sense of great contentment came with the words.
:Because you never wanted to get dressed while we were sharing a body. Are you coming out? At this rate you’ll turn into a prune.: Yugi crossed his arms and tapped his foot. Besides needing to wash, he needed to pee. Badly.
:In a couple minutes, aibou.:
:You said that a couple of minutes ago.: Yugi sighed. :There is one small problem with modern showers, mou hitori no boku.: Yugi slipped into the bathroom and walked to the toilet.
:What is that, aibou?:
:The hot water runs out.: Yugi pushed the handle.
“AHHHH!” Atem jumped out of the suddenly icy cold stream. He glared at his diminutive twin, who was grinning fair to split his face.}
Abruptly a sharp pain stabbed into his arm. Yugi grabbed at it reflexively, but nothing met his fingers. He looked confused for a moment, then shrugged and finished his shower.
However, when he walked back into the bedroom, Atem was gone. The bed was empty, and the Millennium Puzzle was missing from it’s place on the table. The curtains on the window moved as the morning breeze played with their folds.
Curious, Yugi, opened the bedroom door, wondering if maybe Atem had just gone downstairs. :Atem?: he thought. :Can you hear me?:
No answer, but at least he felt the comfort of the link between them. Evidently Atem wasn’t wearing the puzzle, or else he would have answered. A gust of coir hir hit him and he shivered with more than the chill - a worm of foreboding wriggled in his stomach. If he wasn’t wearing it, then where was the Puzzle, and where could his yami have gotten to?
Wait. Yugi turned to look at the window. The open space mocked him; the screen was gone. Walking over, Yugi saw that the black fine mesh had been cut away from the frame and now hung limply outside. A ladder covered the distance to the ground. It took a moment, then the hikari put the pieces together. His koibito had been kidnapped.
Using language that would have shocked his friends to the core, Yugi grabbed the first clothing at hand - which happened to be Atem’s white leather pants - and forced them on over his damp skin. Whoever had done this must have drugged his hitori no boku, or else he’d have put up a fight. The pair of them had many enemies - no telling who was behind this. He had to find the Pharaoh, and fast.
Soon his brain managed to calm his panicky emotions. Whoever had done this couldn’t have gone far. He hopped out the window and down the ladder, closing his eyes when he reached the bottom to search out a direction through their link. Even though Yugi wasn’t wearing it, the magic of the Millennium Puzzle still joined them as one. He could use that to find his koibito.
Then he stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and cursed himself for sixteen types of baka. He could track down Atem now, but chances were good that even with the magic that Atem had been teaching him for the last few months, he’d be overwhelmed. With no clue who had done this, running into a situation blind would be a stupid, hair-brained stunt. So he shimmied back up the ladder and called the people he knew would back him up - Jounouchi, Honda and Anzu. For good measure, he called Mokuba and Seto as well.
************************************
For a moment r her he woke, Atem couldn’t figure out if he had his eyes open or closed. The area where he lay was quiet, dark and cold.
Under his body he felt chill grains - sand. His groping hand encountered a wall made of stone, slightly slick with moisture. A chill washed over him - he wore only a robe made of linen belted with - he felt the familiar leather and studs - his belt that carried his Magic and Wizards deck.
Where the heck was he and what had happened? The last thing he vaguely remembered…Yugi waking up and leaving their bed. Then a sharp pain in his arm, and blackness.
After which he’d woken up stiff, sore and in a very bad mood. Finally he sat up, sure that he was awake though the area remained pitch black. How long had he been here? Where was Yugi, and the Millennium Puzzle?
He could still feel their link, and from the emotions that came down it his aibou was frightened and worried but not in physical danger. Reassured, Atem rose carefully to his feet, one hand on the wall to keep from wobbling. He took a couple steps on shaking legs before taking a deep breath and beginning, with hand, nose and ear, to explore his prison.
The area where he found himself was fairly large, four paces to a side and nearly square. Interestingly, he found not one but two exits. A very unusual prison.
He’d just gotten his bearings and returned to the centre of the room when suddenly he was blinded by light. Blinking away the tears that sprang up, Atem tried to look at his prison, only to find he was no longer alone.
The new person in the cell was not his aibou. He was much taller than Yugi, draped in white robes and hooded - unknown kanji were embroidered on the front. In his left hand he held the Millennium Puzzle.
“Give me that.” the Pharaoh demanded.
The robed person chuckled softly - a male voice. “Forgive me for not obeying you, mighty Son of Ra, but I think that you are in no position to make demands.” The tone in his voice mocked him. “I think that instead, you and I will play a little game…a Yami no game, ne?”
“Who are you?” Atem took a step closer to the man.
“I am your opponent; what else matters?” With a flick of his free hand, the man threw back the hood of his r. W. With a cold smile on his grotesque features, the man - or creature - reached over and pulled the key piece - the one with the Sennen Eye on it - out of the Puzzle. Atem gasped, narrow purple-red eyes widening in denial as the creature raised the rest of the golden object above his head. “Now, game start!” With a crack that reverberated through Atem’s soul, the Puzzle shattered.
*************
Halfway down the stairs to open the front door, Yugi gasped as a cold hand gripped his heart. Claws ripped his mind - he barely felt his body collapse as half of his soul was ripped away.
Someone had broken the link.
To Be Continued…
OkayOkay, it’s a short chapter, but I’m having the opposite of writer’s block - too many ideas. I’m not sure which way this should go!
Anyway, R&R kudasai! Domo arigato!
