"Without that part the puzzle is incomplete!" Yugi shouted as we ran and entered the school gates. "My wish won't be complete! Please, be at school!"
"Yo Yugi, Luna." Came a dreadfully familiar voice.
"Ushio!" I said, trying to make my voice sound surprised.
"You brought the bodyguard fee right? Good."
"No!" Yugi exclaimed. "We forgot something at school and came to pick it up! Anyways I can't…"
I gulped when Ushio smirked. "Hmm…then it looks like you're going to need some education!"
After Ushio led us to an alley.
I watched in fear as Ushio kicked Yugi against the wall. He then turned to me, but I was frozen in fear. Ushio wasted no time in grabbing the collar of my shirt and kneeing me in the stomach, reopening my wound. I gasped in pain and tears pricked my eyes. He threw me hard against the wall next to Yugi. I let out a small whimper.
"That's enough for today. Tomorrow we'll show the fruits of your 'education'." Ushio said. My vision was turning blurry and edges were going black. I was blacking out, I know it. And it didn't help that I was bleeding again. He went to walk away but was stopped by a voice.
"Hey!" I heard Joey shout. I smiled lightly as I slipped into unconsciousness. They were… finally… here…
I woke up feeling like I was flying. I opened my eyes to see a pair of crimson red eyes stare down at me. I started to sit up but fell back down from the pain… and into an arm. I turned bright red. I looked at Ate—oops… I mean Yami, wide-eyed. I can't let spoilers get out now can I? I waved weakly, still a bit tired.
"Wazzup?" He raised a brow at me and it didn't take long for me to realize he was carrying me bridal-style. He stopped walking and set me against a wall.
"I re-bandaged your wound while you were unconscious." He told me and stood up. "Stay put." He ordered and started to walk away. I was confused for a moment before it hit me.
"Wait!" I called. He stopped and turned his head. "Are-are you going to challenge Ushio to a Shadow Game or have you already done that?"
"Shadow Game." He replied and walked off. When he was out of sight, I got up and limped in the direction he headed to.
I gotta know if this is following the manga or not! I thought determined.
I arrived and hid behind a tree when I saw Ushio pointing a knife at Yami, while holding money in his other hand.
"Die Yugi!" Ushio shouted as he went to stab him. My heart stopped. But it began to beat again as The Pharaoh jumped in the air dodging the attack.
Manga… of course. I thought.
"Just as I thought." Pharaoh said as the symbol of Horus glowed on his forehead. "You couldn't follow the rules. This eye can see nothing but what is in your heart. You're a greedy man who hurt my friends and tried to steal money from me! PENALTY GAME!" I watched as he pointed a finger at Ushio and leaves began to fall around him. Ushio was grabbing the leaves and kept on shouting money. I gulped, a bit freaked but stayed where I was.
That's even creepier than it was in the manga… I thought.
"Didn't I tell you to stay put?" Pharaoh asked. I jumped, startled, and fell from my spot behind the tree.
"Ow…" I groaned. I sat up and rubbed my head saying, "I had to know if it was following the manga or not." I glanced at Ushio, a bit freaked out. "Manga… apparently."
"Money! Money! All mine! Money!" Ushio shouted, grabbing at the leaves. I turned and looked up at the Pharaoh nervously.
"Don't… don't you think that was a bit harsh…?"
"Nonsense, he got what he deserved. In fact he should be grateful, I could've given him a harsher one." He said, his crimson eyes gazing at me. I flinched and went to stand up.
"W-We should head back to the Game shop now!" I yelled the last part, as I stumbled and fell forwards. Yami quickly came and caught me before I hit the ground.
"You need help?" He asked, sliding an arm under my legs and another on my back, lifting me up bridal-style. I turned red.
"I-I can walk." I denied. He rolled his red eyes in amusement and disbelief.
"I highly doubt that. Now come, we need to get back to the shop."
"I can't come if you're carrying me!"
"Just sleep already. You need your rest." He told me.
"I finished the puzzle yesterday but I can't remember anything." Yugi said aloud. I gulped and laughed nervously as his face lit up. "Yeah! The puzzle! I finished it!" He exclaimed. I glanced at the puzzle nervously, but stopped when I saw Joey.
"Yo Yugi, Luna." He greeted. We stopped walking.
"Joey!" Yugi exclaimed. I looked back and forth between them as they talked.
"How are your injuries?"
"Fine… how about you?"
"I feel fine… speaking of which. Hey Yugi! Luna! I also brought a treasure! Want to see it?" Joey asked.
"Yeah!" Yugi said and I nodded, holding back a laugh. Joey laughed.
"Sorry… My treasure is in plain view, yet you can't see it, so… I can't show it to you!"
"In plain sight but invisible…What's that mean?" Yugi mumbled confused.
"It's friendship! Yugi, Luna, and Joey are visible, but our friendship is invisible." He explained. Yugi looked up shocked, before smiling.
"Yeah!" I smiled and looked at the puzzle. I mouthed,
"Thank you." The eye on the puzzle glowed a bit before returning back to normal.
Joey began to take off, losing his shoe in the process. "Well come on! We gotta get to class!"
I watched as Yugi grabbed his shoe off the ground and began chasing after him. "Joey! You forgot your shoe!" It took me a few moments to realize I just got left behind. My eyes widened and I dashed off after them, chuckling.
"Guys! Wait up!"
