Prologue – Going Along Swimmingly
Shock and Horror
Four friends stood outside a dining room of a house in the country region of Japan, two had long white hair and pale skin, another had brown hair and cold blue eyes, the last this person a female had long blonde hair and vibrant violet eyes they were waiting for something.
"Has he asked her yet Mai?" Kaiba asked impatiently.
"Oh be silent Seto I will say when he's asked." Mai countered to him.
"Yes like the time you were going to tell me that you took my credit card Mokuba and my limo out for a drive to the mall." Kaiba grumbled.
"That was an omission." Mai responded.
"Some omission." Kaiba continued to grumble.
"If you mortals are done with your lovers quarrel be silent or they will hear us, besides I hear enough love birds with my Hikari." Yami Bakura grumbled.
Ryou blushed, "Miho and I do not quarrel Yami." He countered.
"I will not say what you do with that purple hair love of yours." Yami Bakura bit back making Ryou blush a deeper shade of red.
Mai covered a giggle looking back into the dining room of her estate inside Yugi and Téa were having a romantic candle lit dinner, since escaping from Yami two years ago Yugi had been living there under Mai's protection from Yami, Tristan, Joey and Serenity, Yugi constantly insisted that he should leave saying he was a burden to Mai, which Mai dismissed out right every time after a while she simply ignored the argument she liked having him around.
"How's your dinner Téa?" Yugi asked his girlfriend nervously.
"It's great Yugi, how's yours?" Téa asked, before noticing he hadn't touched it.
"Ah, yeah its good, I guess." Yugi answered shifting uncomfortably.
"Yugi are you ok, you look unwell?" Téa asked what she didn't say was that he looked ready to feint.
"Yeah Téa I'm fine." Yugi answered.
"Aren't you hungry?" Téa asked.
"Ah, well, no I guess not." Yugi answered unfortunately his stomach chose that moment to grumble with hunger.
Téa shot Yugi a curious look, he'd been acting odd ever since she arrived, he told her to dress formal, Téa had brought out her best blue dress while Yugi had his absolute best tuxedo. When she was seated he rolled out this elaborate meal for her complete with candles on the table, Téa had guessed that Yugi had prepared the food himself, she knew for a certainty he was up to something.
Yugi was pacing mentally he knew something was missing he had the food, he had the candles, but he knew something was missing, then Yugi realized what was missing the music, Yugi got up and ran over to the CD player putting Unchained Melody on, he breathed very deeply turning around Téa stared in complete confusion as he walked over, Yugi got on one knee looking up into her blue eyes.
"Téa when you found me I thought I would never be loved." Yugi began.
"But you showed me more love than anyone has ever shown to me in my life."
"I hope I can repay that love and affection, you are my one special person I could not imagine my life with out you Téa, will you marry me?" Yugi asked revealing an elaborate diamond ring to her.
Téa gasped she was caught completely off guard she knew that they were serious, but not this serious, however Téa didn't need to think twice about this answer,
"Yes Yugi a thousand times yes." Téa smiled Yugi slipping the finger onto her finger they embraced in a tight passionate embrace the world around them dropping from their notice.
The Next Day
"To the future Mr and Mrs Yugi Motou." Mai said raising a glass as Yugi, Téa, Kaiba, Ryou and Yami Bakura stood in the main room of the estate.
"I told you that you had nothing to worry about Yugi." Kaiba said actually smiling at Yugi, the rest of them stared strangely at him.
"What are you looking at?" Kaiba asked.
"Sorry Seto, its just taking some getting used to, seeing you smile." Mai said warmly to him.
"First she wants me to change, and when I do she think it's strange, women." Kaiba complained to Yugi who grinned as Mai and Téa glared at them both.
Yami Bakura rolled his eyes, "Mortals, love lives, absolute nonsense." He muttered under his breath.
"Yami you're human to." Ryou reminded.
"Must you remind me of that fact Hikari?" Bakura grumbled.
"Yes Yami I must." Ryou said grinning at him.
Mai was about to change the subject when she heard a knock at the door, she went and answered it.
"Yes?" Mai asked as two people stood at the door, one was male with brown hair and eyes dressed in a suit, the other was a woman with blue eyes and blonde hair they both looked like cops.
"I'm Detective Sargent Nicholas Calstrom this is my partner Detective Constable Sara Ryan we're on special attachment with the Domino Police Department is Yugi Motou here." Detective Calstrom said as Mai allowed them to enter.
"That's me, what's this about?" Yugi asked putting down his cup on a table as he and the others entered the entry hall.
"Turn around please." Detective Ryan said pulling out her cuffs.
"Hey what's going on?" Téa asked angrily.
"Yugi Motou you're under arrest." Detective Calstrom said as Detective Ryan placed the cuffs on Yugi's wrists.
"What's the charge?" Kaiba asked angrily Detective Calstrom answered.
"The murder of Rebecca Hawkins."
