And 'oh fuck' was right. Yugi, in a blink of an eye shot up from his desk chair and ran to his bed where he threw his cell earlier. He went to his contacts and dialed in Malik's number. He put the phone to his ear and listened to the ringing of his phone… ring, ring ri- "hello?" Malik's voice sounded on the other end.
"Malik? Oh thank god! You remember those god stars right? The ones that aren't on the sky anymore? Please look outside and tell me I'm seeing things!" Yugi franticly said into the phone.
"Yes I remember them. Is everything alright Yugi?" Malik sounded concerned.
"Please just look" Yugi said more desperately this time.
"Okay, okay…"there was a pause and sounds of shuffling and a window opening. "Okay, there's Derejederu and there is Fajamasad and then… WHAT THE FUCK!"
"Malik?" Yugi asked slightly scared of the growling tone Malik's voice took.
"Yugi, we have a big problem." Malik said calming his voice.
"Then he really is back isn't he? For our safety, you guys should head over here; bring enough stuff for a few days and anything you need. I'll head over there now." Yugi finished and hung up the call. He got up and over to his dresser to pick out some clothing. He quickly threw on a pair of boxers and black, skin tight, jeans with a dark maroon colored t-shirt that had the eye of Horus in gold print on it. He grabbed his keys and ran out the door of his apartment.
Malik's P.O.V.
After Yugi hung up the phone I stared at the sky for a moment longer. I knew the story of Anubis. It was drilled into my brain at the same young age as was the rest of the "prideful" history of the Pharaoh and his enemies. I also heard of Anubis's attempt at revenge years ago, how he trapped Yugi inside the puzzle while Yami dueled Kaiba and Anubis. The god of the underworld was dangerous, and now without the help of our yamis, we were really vulnerable. I knew we would have to think of something. I continued to think to myself, not noticing Ryou walking up behind me.
As I felt a hand on my shoulder I jumped in fright and turned around quickly. Ryou stood behind me looking innocent. "Are you alright Malik? What's got you all frazzled?" he asked genuinely concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine. But Yugi and I just found a new problem." I said regretfully.
"New problem?" he hesitated "I'm not gonna like this am I?" he asked.
I shook my head, "No, no you're not. Do you remember what Yugi told us about Anubis? How he tried to get revenge?" I asked, he nodded, "Well, Yugi and I just realized that Anubis is back" I said.
He looked shocked and a bit scared, I placed my hand on his shoulder. "It's alright, as long as we all stay together and take care of each other, we will be fine. Yugi is coming to pick us up now." I smiled reassuringly. He still looked a little scared but nodded anyway. "Good, let's back some clothing and go wait for Yugi then." He nodded again and went to grab his things.
I knew by the look on his face that he knew I was hiding my real emotions. I hated lying to him, but I can't do much else. We just had to stick together. And with that I went to pack a few things of my own.
Yugi's P.O.V.
Yugi ran out the door and ran to the stairs, living on the second floor had its perks. Yugi reached the garage and ran to his car which was a few aisles down. He got into his car, a Ford Focus Modification* and pulled out of the garage. He went down a few blocks to Malik and Ryou's apartment. After pulling up to the curb, he quickly texted Ryou and Malik that he was there. A few moments later both came out of the front doors carrying 2 bags each and a backpack.
They piled into the car and drove back, "Yugi? Can we make a stop at the parlor? I forgot my design book and I have new ideas I really want to put in there." Ryou asked, almost in a frightful way.
Yugi smiled slightly, "Just because I want you guys over, doesn't mean I'm angry or going to restrict what you can do and go. But since the apartment is closer let's stop there, drop off the stuff and go back, we can stop at a Diner since we are going to that side of town." Yugi suggested pulling into the garage again. Yugi waited in the car while Malik and Ryou went to the apartment and set their stuff down in the living area, they would bring it their rooms later. They piled back into the car again and headed back the parlor. Malik decided to go with Ryou inside to help look for the book, Ryou had stated that he can't remember where he put it.
Yugi waited in the car for 15 minutes when something was really starting to give him chills. He turned off the ignition and pocketed the keys. He got out and went to the parlor. The lights were still on but there was no sign of Ryou of Malik. "Ryou! Malik! Where are you guys?" Yugi called a bit worried about not seeing them. Yugi heard some rattling from the back and walked back very cautiously. "Ryou? M-Malik?" Yugi whispered as he walked through the doorway to his station.
Still not seeing anything, he walked to Malik's station. He walked through the 2nd doorway, he heard a muffled cry and turned around to see both Ryou and Malik being held by the same punks from earlier that day. "Let. Them. Go. Didn't you all have enough from the last time we fought?" Yugi said snarling at the men holding his best friends.
"Well trust us Shorty, we didn't want to come back, but our boss wants to see you all. So you're coming with us, one way or another." The boy smirked, before Yugi could retort back there was a huge pain in the back of his head and his vision got blurry, before he passed out he turned and saw another boy with a metal pipe in his hands.
For the past 2 hours the council and the yamis have been discussing different options for taking care of Anubis. Though reluctant at first, the council finally gave up and decided on Yami's idea. They would hold a ceremony calling upon the gods powers to send them back to the present, because they would never be able to get back, they agreed that Yami's 2nd in command, Kuu, would run the kingdom until a suitable heir could take over.
Kuu was the only trusted member from the original council left. He was the only trusted advisor left and Yami didn't want to take chances with any of their newer council members. They all agreed that the ceremony would be held just before sundown, when all the gods gathered in the sky*. Everyone went to sleep afterword, they would need it for what was to happen in a few hours. Yami would have to make the announcement to his kingdom that he was leaving, then immediately head to the ceremony where the whole kingdom will watch him depart and "shower him with their respects" to their savior and Pharaoh. The yamis were happy to even be going back. They hated it in the past. All their friends were gone and the new council was fucking the whole kingdom up. The villagers were revolting and to say the least, the yamis didn't think the council would last long until the villagers shut them down.
Morning was approaching, but nobody was stirring. For that matter, no one was sure anyone would until at least noon. The past day was a bit too eventful for everyone to stay awake any longer.
* Derejederu, Fajamasad: they are Aquarius and Gemini in Arabic, I got them from Google translate. I listened to the translation until I go the sound. They aren't perfect.
*Ford Focus Modification: it just means that Yugi's ford focus has a lot of modifications on it, better paint job, and doesn't look like a focus (I hate focus's. my family calls them ford –fuck-us-all.)
*Ceremony: at sunset Ra (the sun is still in the sky and all the other gods (the stars) are coming up on the other side. So all the "gods" are in the sky.
"Malik? Oh thank god! You remember those god stars right? The ones that aren't on the sky anymore? Please look outside and tell me I'm seeing things!" Yugi franticly said into the phone.
