Like most of my stories will be, this is rated to be safe. I don't want to get into trouble for under rating something. It's better to over rate than under rate. ;-)

I got to write the death scenes! They would have been more graphic but my stupid Hikari edited them afterwards. Hmph, she can take away the words but she can't take away the thoughts MWUHAHAHAHA!

The killer grinned as his victim stopped struggling and stared up at him with terrified eyes. Savouring the moment, the killer showed his victim the small saw he was holding.

Tears started to run down the victims face as she tried to plead for her life through the thick gag.

Laughing maniacally the killer began to saw through the poor girls neck, her agonised screams muffled by the bindings around her mouth.

When he was finished he stuffed her head into a carrier bag and walked away.

A body was found by dog walkers in Domino central park early this morning the news reporter said in a completely flat tone The media are still awaiting a statement from the Domino city police but the body is thought to be that of a young girl, join us later for a full report.

Tea switched off the TV and shook her head.

"I just don't understand how someone could murder someone else, it's not right".

"I know sweetie, we may be the most intelligent species on the planet but we're also the most destructive" her mother sighed.

Nearly everyone at school that day was anxious to see if any of the female students were absent.

Five were.

Two of them were in Tea's class, one was her friend Miho and the other was a snobby cheerleader called Mindy.

Tea chewed her lip as she waited for her friends to arrive.

The first one to show up was Bakura.

Bakura and Miho had been dating for a few months now so she was sure he would know if her friend was safe.

"Hey Bakura" she said, managing a weak smile.

"Hey" he replied, smiling back.

"Did you hear about that body they found in the park?" she continued nervously.

Bakura smiled again. "Don't worry Tea, Miho's fine I spoke to her this morning, she just has a cold" he said reassuringly.

"Oh thank god" Tea gasped slumping down in her chair.

The teacher had a very grave expression on her face when she entered the classroom ten minutes later, closely followed by a very breathless Joey.

After Joey had seated himself the teacher called the class to attention. "I'm afraid I have some very bad news" she said sadly "Mindy Bryce was murdered last night".

All the cheerleaders immediately burst into tears and started hugging each other, most of the guys sank into moody depression and the nerds desperately tried to hide their glee.

"Mindy was a bright and friendly girl" the teacher continued "she will be sorely missed by all, could we please have two minutes silence to honour her memory" and with that she bowed her head, obviously expecting the class to do the same.

After about half a minute Tea glanced over at Bakura and was surprised to see him smiling.

"I just can't believe Mindy's gone" Tea said quietly at lunch.

The group were sitting in the cafeteria and like pretty much everyone else they were discussing what had happened to the late cheerleader.

"Yeah, you see dese things on da news but ya never tink it's gonna happen t' someone ya know" Joey responded shaking his head sadly, like most of the boys in their year he had had a crush on Mindy Bryce.

"Well personally I don't think it's such a loss" Bakura said hesitantly "Mindy was really snobby and mean".

"Bakura!" Tea said sharply "how can you be so heartless!".

"I'm not being heartless I'm being truthful!" Bakura growled back.

"Hey hey, calm down guys" Tristan said quickly, keen to avoid an argument.

"So why do think someone would want to kill her?" Duke said before Tea could speak again.

"Maybe she found out somtin she shouldn't have" Joey theorised.

"Or dumped somebody she shouldn't have" Yugi added.

"Don't be silly Yugi" Tea laughed "people don't actually kill for silly reasons like that".

They all sat thinking for a few minutes.

"I don't like these crappy school dinners" Marik suddenly said, pushing his dinner tray away from him "It always gives me the squits, if anyone wants me I'll be in the toilets".

Everyone shuddered as he walked away.

"Well I like 'em" Joey said whilst kidnapping Marik's abandoned dinner "food is food after all".
