"Seems he's not here." Joey mumbled.
"He's a master of disguise. It's rare to see him out of disguise." Officer warned.
I thought we were following the manga! I mentally complained.
"Alright! We'll just check each one!" Joey said.
"No, that would be bad. He has a pistol it seems."
The manager raised his hand. "Does the criminal have any other characteristics?"
Wait if we're following the anime then that means… I glanced at the manager.
"Three days ago, when stealing the jewels, it appeared he had a struggle with a guard. The fallen guard was able to hit the fleeing culprit in the left calf with his baton. That might have left a mark". I glanced at the bowl full of cars.
"Let's use that then." I knocked the bowl of cars onto the floor and we ran after them.
"Excuse us!" I shouted and we got onto the floor. I looked at one of the people's legs. No mark. I crawled around and looked at another but had to lift a pants leg. No mark.
"Please do not put your legs on the table sir." I said and grabbed the man's leg lifting up the pants sleeve. Still no mark.
I jumped back and flinched when he yelled at me. "What do you think you're doing you bitch!"
"Sorry sir." The manager apologized. "We have a situation.
"Don't give me that! Messing with a man's resting time! What the hell were you thinking!?"
The officer held up his badge and the man gasped.
"Police!?"
"Excuse me everyone! It's probable that an escaped convict is in this shop! We need to check your legs! The culprit should have a bruise on his calf from where the guard hit him." This caused wails of outrage and panic.
"What's the meaning of this?" A woman asked.
"Escaped convict?" An old bald guy asked.
"Sounds interesting!" Exclaimed a creepy looking guy in a red jacket.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Another old man asked. "Anyway, the town's police are out of it."
"You lost the convict that escaped before too!" A guy shouted.
"That… is true." The officer admitted.
"Is there no other clue about this culprit?" Tristan asked. He held up a mini black book.
"Yeah, in prison he was once admitted to the hospital. He has an allergic reaction to eggs."
I smirked and decided to change her line a bit. "Then it will be easy to find him." I held my arms up smiling. "After all, our hamburgers have plenty of eggs in them."
Just then a guy swayed back and forth and the officer walked over to him.
The officer said something and the guy got up and tried to run.
"Shut up! Move!" The officer grabbed him and the guy's hat and wig fell off.
"Tasaki Tetsu! You're under arrest!"
"First call an ambulance! Somebody please hurry and call an ambulance! I'm extremely weak against eggs!"
I smiled triumphantly. "Are you that stupid? I lied obviously." He looked at me angry.
"What!?"
"The burger is 100% wheat flour."
He growled and began to struggle. "Shit!" He jumped forward, knocking over the manager in the process. He leaned over the manager. "This is the culprit! This man!"
"Jerk!" The officer said and went to pull Tetsu away. Ripping the manager's shirt off in the process.
Revealing a spider tattoo on his back. We stared at it in shock. Actually they were. I was just pretending to be shocked so I didn't blow my cover.
"The Yellow Spider Jirou!" Tetsu shouted. Jirou got up, ran over, stole his gun, and instead of grabbing Tea, he grabbed me instead. Covered my mouth with his hand and held the gun by my head.
"If you move she's dead!" He threatened. I was frozen with fear as this happened before.
"You're…" The officer mumbled. "… The Yellow Spider, Jirou?"
"Yeah. I changed my face with surgery and blended into this town." He explained, smiling cruelly. "Tetsu the Hedgehog, I never expected you to come to this restaurant. Even in disguise I could recognize you in a glance! I was able to tell what places you were going to rob. I'm different from before. Right. I'm the one who robbed Ushijima bank and stole the jewels! Everyone get down!" He ordered after he was done. Everyone did so and got on their knees. Except for me of course. As I was being held hostage!
"Luna." Yugi whispered in worry from beside Miho. Jirou tied a blindfold on my eyes, making me go quiet.
"Humans,when they lose their sight they can't even scream. Look." He said and began to walk me over somewhere and forced me to sit down.
"Luna!" Yugi yelled.
"So… someone bring me what I want! You, the gutless looking kid, you do it." I heard him command. "The rest of you close your eyes and don't move. Anyone that moves gets this." He shot the gun and I flinched. "First bring alcohol and tobacco. I had quit all my old hobbies. However, now in reverse, I suddenly feel free!"
So it really is following the anime today. So that means… he chose Yugi! I thought and stood up.
"Don't do it Yugi! Don't listen!" I shouted before being banged in the head with a gun.
"Shut up!" Jirou yelled.
"Luna!" Yugi screamed. (Que awesome music) I was aware of a faint glow from behind my blindfold. I nearly screamed in shock at what I heard.
"Those who hurt my precious Luna will suffer. However, I like letting chance decide that." Said the Pharaoh's voice.
But… he's supposed to like Tea! I screamed in my head. I heard a loud CLAMP! of something being set on the table and I guessed it was the alcohol.
Somewhere in a different dimension.
"Mom! Some new chick is on Yugioh!" Screamed a teenage girl.
"That's nice sweetie!"
"I'm serious! Yami is saving her instead of the friendship girl!"
Back in the Yugioh Verse.
"I brought it just as you wished." He said. I heard a plop and guessed he sat down.
"Hey you! Who said you could stay!?" Jirou demanded.
"What? I thought you'd want a game partner. It's game time."
Why am I being saved instead of Tea! And that still sounds so cool when he says that! I thought.
"Oh, game? I'm interested in it a bit I guess." He replied. "In the past I used to gamble non-stop."
"However, it will be no ordinary game. It's a Yami no Game. A game where your life is at stake." Pharaoh explained and I resisted the urge to smile.
"Sounds like fun. What are the rules?"
"Rule… just one. And that is, of these ten fingers… all are not to move except the one you pick. We both chose our own, and only that finger can be used." He said. "So, which finger do you choose?"
"If that's the case, then of course I chose the pointing finger. The finger used to pull the gun's trigger."
"OK. Then I chose this finger." I listened to their conversation quietly, with a headache. "After the game starts you can do as you like. Even pull the trigger. So…let's go! Game start!"
Jirou laughed and was more than likely holding up his gun. "One second and it's game over! That's right, it hasn't been lit yet." I heard a small fire and guessed they were talking about his cigar.
"This lighter… you can have it back." Yami said. (I'm just calling him that for now) "I'll leave it there. That alcohol is Russian Senowolf. Ninety percent alcohol. I'd like to see you fire your gun. The recoil would drop the lighter." I felt someone grab my hand and pull me away. "Let's go, Luna."
"I knew you wouldn't be able to obey the rules." Yami said and I began to untie my blindfold. When it was off I saw Yami facing Jirou, the eye on his forehead glowing. "The Yami no Game reveals the true nature of humans. For rule breakers, it's destined to be a punishment game."
Jirou took out his cigar and grabbed the gun and pointed it at him. "You brat! How dare you feed me that shit!"
"The Door of Darkness opens." I watched in awe as the eye on his forehead grew and Jirou shot the gun, causing him to catch on fire. He screamed.
"Someone! Someone...! Hurry! This fire! Please put it out!"
"So you quit working?" Yugi asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah! Like you said, I don't have to give you guys money to pay you back. Besides, how else would I spend more time with you?" I asked. "Certainly not by working."
"Really!?" Yugi asked. I nodded smiling, before looking away into space.
But why did he call me precious? I wondered. I don't even come from this world. Add to the fact that I wasn't anywhere related to Egyptians.
"Hey! You're late!" Joey called from beside Tea. "Look! Opening Today is the beef-noodle shop! I hear it's delicious!"
"Joey dragged me along with him." Tea said. The door opened revealing Miho and Tristan. I sweatdropped.
"Welcome!" They greeted.
"Y-you guys still doin' dat?" Joey asked, his Brooklyn accent leaking in, cause of his shock.
Miho clasped her hands together. "But… but… Miho wants new clothes!" Tristan held a fist up.
"I… I will fall as far as needed so long I'm with Miho!" We sighed.
