[IC] Yugioh: The King's Shadow

[MegaraFoxfire]

The warrior nodded and faded. Adam cleared his throat and said "I'm in our base not to far from where you guys are at. I'll head over there now...and uh....thanks" Mahad flew off and headed to the game shop to get things ready. Serena opened her eyes slightly and looked up at him. "You again...when will this visions stop already..." She wasn't all there, her mind fighting to stay awake.

[Jazz]

Yami looked down to Serena when she spoke to him, still thinking he wasn't real. "It is no vision. Your friend will be here soon and in the mean time, keep yourself awake. We are almost there." He told her as they were almost there and there soon enough. Seto got off and helped Yami with Serena, taking her inside while Yami got off Cerberus, gave him a quick pet and took off after the beast vanished.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi opened the door for Seto, looking worried. "She looks worse then she did before..." Serena was shaking, fighting to keep her eyes open. "Have to...protect...the order...have too..." When Seto set her down on the couch Yugi set the first Aid kit down. "What happened? You both look like you were in a battle not a duel."

[Jazz]

Yami came in as Seto set Serena was set on the couch and Yami stood near the couch. "We were. There was a man that attacked to Serena. Mahad thought we were in trouble. Only that when he came back, he sensed it was close by. The man that attacked her was the one that tortured Seto. However the man was sent to Shadow Realm by someone he was working for." He told them. Joey and Tristen had listened in and were a bit surprised. "Wow." For that was really the only thing he could say. "However it seems that Serena had help find the man. She has a friend who is coming by to see her later. I told him where we were and that we were only helping her. He reminds me of you Joey." Joey then looked confused. "Me? Dang! Wonder what he's like completely."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi brought in a wet rag and rested it on the girls forehead, looking at her with concern. "She doesn't look good guys...why was he after he?" Serena stirred and opened her eyes slightly. "They are looking for the King of the Shadows...what they don't know is that he has a different title these days...and he is protected....by his shadow once more..." She flinched, holding her wound.

[Jazz]

Seto was actually about to answer Yugi until the girl spoke up which surprised them. Yami looked to the girl, breaking out the kit to dress her wound that Yugi pulled out. Hearing what she said, Yami looked to him. "A different title? What title is that if I may ask." He grabbed a bottle of peroxide and put it on a towel that he had pulled out. "gonna need to hold still for me and this will sting. I will be as gentle as I can." The former pharaoh said as he gently moved her hand as well as her shirt enough to see the wound itself. While some of it was still soaked, he pressed it against her side and pressed it there. Then let her hold it if need be while putting his hand ontop of hers.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena pressed it down, taking deep breaths. "I don't know...I haven't figured it out yet...I must find the Seer and learn more about what is happening before they can make their next move or more people will get hurt...all to bring back their god..." She coughed, sweat running down her face. There was a knock at the door and Yugi jumped up. "I'll get it"

Yugi went to the door and opened it. Waiting there was a red headed young man with a pierced ear, looking around. He looked back and said "Is Serena here?" Yugi nodded and moved aside to let him in. "She is. She's being treated for her wound right now...you are?" He walked in and said "Adam...I'm Adam..."

[Jazz]

Listening to Serena, Yami was still working on the wound. The Pharaoh knew a little bit of medical but only that he could patch so it can be looked at a doctor later. But nothing that would come from a doctor's degree. Yami though grabbed a couple large gauze, used tape to connect them out the outside. Setting it down, Yami then gently removed her hand, his own now there and slowly, carefully removed the towel that had peroxide on it so the wound could breath a bit. Putting the gauze then on her side and taped the sides. Hearing the knock on the door, Yami heard Yugi say he would get it guessed that it was the young man that he spoke to. "Their God?" Yami asked, looking to the gauze wrap, took it and started to wrap her midsection so the gauze pad doesn't come loose or peel off.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena nodded and closed her eyes. "I don't...know more then that..." She rested back as Adam walked in with Yugi behind him. Adam fell to Serena side, next to Yami and took her free hand. "Boss...I told you to wait for me..." HE looked at Yami and asked "What happened to her? She wouldn't tell me even when she called to know where those guys were heading"

[Jazz]

Yami nodded to her, finishing the wrappings. Joey and Yami then cleaned the supplies as Adam came in. He gave them some room but stayed beside them. "While we were fleeing from the old Kaiba Land building, she got hurt from a monster that was coming after me. She was about to fall and I saved her in turn. Then Yami got us both." Seto answered. Yami nodded. "Its true."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Adam sighed and said "I'm guessing she pushed you out of the way..." He moved hair out of Serena's face and he said "She's very selfless...and it normally gets her into a lot of trouble..." Serena flinched and said "Shut up Adam..." Adam looked at Seto and said "What did they ask you? The men that took you? How did they take you in the first place?"

[Jazz]

Seto looked to Adam when he asked him what the men asked him. "Most of the time I was ignoring their questions cause I didn't care what they were asking. But the repetitive questions they kept asking was where the King of Shadows was when I had no idea what the hell they were talking about. But for some reason it reminded me of Yami. But I honestly dont know. As for how they got ahold of me. That is something that I don't even know."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Adam smirked and said "I do. I hacked into your house security and found the camera feeds. You were working late last night and then you started coughing then when you tried to get to the door, you slipping and passed out. They came thru the window and grabbed you. The police found a gas line fed into the room from the air vents. They planned it very well...well, until we came along that is"

[Jazz]

Seto looked skeptical about his explanation. It was odd but at least someone figured it out. "I see. I guess that would explain why I was feeling off. I thought I was tired." Kaiba admitted. "I guess I know what I'm reinforcing." Yes, Seto wasn't happy about it."
Yami looked to Adam. "It seems that we will need to be careful from now on. If they are targeting Seto, then they may target us as well since we know him. It won't be an easy feat but we will need to stay on our toes."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Adam shook his head and said "They won't go after him again...they will target my boss here since she went to his aid. She has been a thorn in their side for a couple of months..." Adam stood and pulled a blanket over Serena who was asleep. "If she can stay here till she recovers it would be very grateful...I mean I would be very grateful..." He sighed and then looked at Yami. "I would not worry about any of this...we have it handled"

[Jazz]

Yami looked over to Yugi when Adam mentioned Serena staying till she was recovered. It was more of a silent question to him that he was sure Yugi would pick up instantly. It was not up to Yami himself but to Yugi and grandpa as well. Hearing being specifically talked to, Yami turned him attention back to Adam seemed to doubt it a little. But if his help was not needed, he would not push it unless he completely felt the need to step into things. "If my friends are targeted, I will stand beside them like we did for Seto when he was in danger. I can assure you that. If you need help at all, I am willing to come to aide you." The former pharaoh said before he stood and got up. "I will return, I need to change." And so headed up to his and Yugi's room.

Joey watched as Yami left before looking to Adam. "What he says is true ya know. If you need help, I am willing to help too. I won't stand by while people are getting hurt because of these guys. Rather you don't want others involved or not." Seto stayed silent as he looked over to Mokuba to check on him. He still promised to stay here for the night like Mokuba wanted. He was pretty sure that Mokuba still wanted to stay here for a bit. But it was a good thing in case something happened. He did have a debt to pay back to Yugi and Yami.

[MegaraFoxfire]

A ringing came from Adam's jacket and he pulled it out and said "Pardon me for a moment" HE got up and went into the entry way and put the phone to his ear.

"She's alright Professor...she's wounded but stable."
"Good, she is needed in the field. Bring her back here so we can get back on track."
"But professor, she can't go back out there in her state?"
"Do it Adam. Then get back to your computer. You are needed there" Adam lowered the phone as he looked up and saw Yami standing there.
"I guess she's not staying here after all...I'll take her with me...I guess..."

Yugi was looking at Serena's pendent, knowing he had seen it before.

[Jazz]

Joey looked to Yugi who seemed concentrated on something. "What's up, Yug'?" He asked, knowing when his friend was in thought like he was. Seto looked to Adam with a questionable look. "Why's that? She can hardly stand as it is."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Adam went over to Serena, picking her up in his arms. "Our...friend needs her back in the field...thank you for your help...if anything comes up I will let you guys know" He took Serena to the door, looking upset. Yugi got the door for him, and Adam looked at him. "Watch your backs...things are going to get hairy..." He walked out, heading to a car parked outside.

Yugi came back in and said "Seto...I know you have a photographic memory...could you draw Serena's pendent for me?"

[Jazz]

Seto watched as Adam picked up the young woman and tell him what was going on. He looked disappointed but wouldn't stop him. He had no authority but he wished he had. Watching then, Adam heading toward the door and Yugi getting it for him, Seto relaxed where he was till Yugi came back asked asked him about the pendant. "If I had paper and a writing utensil, I can." Joey turned around and pulled the note pad and pen from the table nearest to him, handing it to Kaiba. Taking the note pad and pen, he sat back and began his artistic work. About a few minutes or so, he handed it to Yugi. "So what's with needing my photographic memory Yugi? What's special about this pendant of hers?" He asked, but not so casually. He was curious but hoping this wasn't a waste of time.
