Chapter 29

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

As Yami, Yugi and Atemu followed the butler Atemu was
staring at everything inside the mansion. It wasn’t because of what he had, it
sort of reminded of him of how his palace had items of value but he never cared
of it back then. Atemu just shook his head and followed after Yugi and Yami who
were following the butler.

They reached a set of hard oak wood doors that led the
living room and the butler opened the doors and let them through.

“Mr Kaiba your guests have arrived.”

Seto and Jou were sitting on the three seater couch and Jou
had his head on Seto’s lap as he lay across the couch while Seto had a book in
one hand and his hand running through Jou’s hair. Both were just dressed
casually in sweet pants and t-shirt. Seto looked up from his book and nodded
his head as the three of them walked into the room and over to one of the other
three couches available. Yugi sat in the middle with Yami and Atemu on either
side of him.

“So what is so important that you had to disturb my
weekend?”

“Seto?” Jou scowled.

“It’s alright Jou.” Yami said calmly. “I would like to wait
till the other get here and not repeat myself.”

Seto glared at him while Jou just elbowed him in his ribs as
he had sat up when he realised that Yugi, Yami and Atemu were here. “Others?”

“Yes Bakura, Ryou, Malik, Marik and Akefia.” 

Seto glared at him harder and started cursing under his
breath. Yugi stared at him worryingly.

“Jou you sure we didn’t interrupt anything important.”

“Yugi I’m sure by what Seto told me that why you are here it
is important. So don’t worry if you interrupted anything.” Yugi smiled and
sighed softly leaning against the chair. “So what were you doing today?”

“Oh we were relaxing in the park, till something happened. You?”

“What happened?” Jou asked.

“Jou just wait I don’t want to repeat it.” Jou sighed and
nodded. “Alright. Well we were just relaxing here. The
reason Seto was not happy about being disturbed was that he needed a big
relaxing weekend. He agreed to no phone calls and no computers or paper work to
do with the company.”

“Seto I’m sorry.” Yugi said.

“Its fine Yugi don’t worry. I was
half asleep when Yami called that’s why I was grumpy.”

Yugi smiled and looked over as the door opened and the
butler let the rest of them in.

“Hi Seto.” Ryou greeted as they
walked in.

Bakura and Marik sat down on the spare couches with Ryou and
Malik while Akefia sat on the third close to Atemu. Seto looked at Yami pointingly
as if to say ‘start talking’. Yami sighed internally and looked at Yugi before
talking.

“Seto is Mokuba here?”

“Yes he is. What does that have to do with why you disturbed
all of us?”

“Yugi, Ryou, Malik why don’t you guys go hang out with
Mokuba while we talk. I promise to tell you about what’s going on.”

Malik looked like he was going to protest but a nudge from
Marik told him to go. Malik stood up and held out his hand to Ryou who took it and
allowed himself to be pulled up before all three boys
left to go find Mokuba. Everyone turned to look at Yami who sighed.

“I’m just going to come out and say it. I think Dartz and
Pegasus are still alive.”

“What?!?!” Bakura and Marik yelled.

“Yes I think they are alive.”

“Yami we blew up the island. How can they possibly still be
alive?” Bakura said.

“I don’t know. But this is what happened.”

Yami proceeded to tell them what happened when they reached
the park. To say that they were shocked was an understatement. Atemu and Akefia
knew who these two spiders were because Yami, Bakura and Marik had told them
ages ago.

“Think I’m crazy now? I smelt that spider it was their
offspring. Well Pegasus’s offspring but Dartz had been around it.”

“If you smelt them on it than it’s a very big opportunity
that they are alive. But why come after us. They could easily go live wherever
they want to and we wouldn’t have known any differently.” Bakura said.

“What Bakura said is true. They could have easily made a
life for themselves and you three wouldn’t have known? Why come after you
guys?” Seto asked.

“Because we were stopping them from getting off the island
and then we tried to kill them when we let it blow up. Can you see the reasons
as to why they might come after us?” Yami said as he buried his head in his
hands. “They nearly killed Yugi on the island and now they are sending more
spiders after him.”

Atemu moved closer and rubbed his back trying to comfort
him. Yami sighed softly and sat up and smiled at Atemu in thanks. Atemu rested
his hand on his shoulder before holding Yami’s hand to reassure him.

“Well I guess there has been a development in the
relationships.” Jou said receiving a glare from Yami.

“I suggest from now on Ryou and Malik have the same
protection as Yugi does. Since there is no one at his house like Solomon is
I’ll put one of my top security guys in there. At least this way there is
someone there at all times.”

“You might want to do something about the security thing
because we will be putting up traps and they will see us or if they come in
he’ll know.”

“That I can handle.” Seto smirked. “People
can be easily brought into silence with the right amount money and threats.”

“Yami I suggest you put traps up now that this has
happened.” Bakura suggested.

“I plan to.”

“There is something I don’t understand.”Akefia said. “You
said that the smell on the spider was from the two that were meant to die on
the island. Is it possible that they are leaving you alone and the spider could
have just decided to go in the direction of Yugi? These two might have nothing
to do with this incident.”

Yami sighed. “It’s possible but it’s not like them to just
forget about revenge. We did a fair bit back on the island to make them want payback
and they wanted Yugi, Ryou and Malik then too and I doubt they’ll just give
that up.”

Atemu could tell he was getting stressed and worried. He was
too but Yami knew what they were capable of. Atemu sat right up next to him and
wrapped an arm around his shoulder and pulled him to lean against him. Yami
didn’t even resist or put up a fight.

“Yami how about if you seen anything else that might
indicate that they are alive than I’ll put you, Bakura and Marik on leave with
pay and send all of you to my private cabin in the forest.”

Yami didn’t reply. “Yami?” Atemu said. “Yami?
Snap out of it.” Atemu reached out and pinched Yami’s arm hard making him jump
to attention.

“Ow! What the hell Atemu?”

“Sorry but you spaced out.”

“I know. I was thinking of what Seto said, trying to think
whether it would be safe enough.”

 “Yami no one would
know where you are. The property isn’t actually leased under my name. I used a
false name so no one could possibly find me and disturb me. Then Yugi’s
grandfather can stay here and I’ll pay him whatever his daily budget is for the
shop to make sure he is safe.”

“Yami if it comes to that they’ll be safe in the forest till
we deal with Pegasus and Dartz. We can set up as many traps as we need and have
a small set of young to use as alerter.” Bakura explained.

“I know.”

“Well you might want to get Yugi down here and explain to
them what’s going on.”  Seto said “Jou
why don’t you go get them.”

Jou nodded and headed out of the room to find where they had
gone with Mokuba. Yami leaned into Atemu completely,
he was just exhausted from worry.
