KAIBA CORP.

"Where did big brother go? It's unlike him to go on a business trip and not call to let me know he made it safely or to not call at all." Mokuba thought to himself while he was flipping through each channel on the television.

Mokuba was in their apartment complex in their corporation. He was lounging on the sofa and drinking a soda. He was upon the point of throwing a tantrum around the house. Instead, he threw down the remote for the television on the ground and got up over to the table. Seto had left a note that Mokuba thought was very strange. It was on a pastel pink paper that had a chibi face of Seto on it smiling in a freaky manor while in his own hand writing, it stated, "Little brother, have gone on a business trip for a week or so, perhaps I'll bring you an American made shirt back for you!!!"

He stopped looking at it because his eyes started to tear up. Whipping the tears from his eyes with his sleeve, he walked to his bedroom and jumped on his bed and turned the radio on. Depressed, Mokuba thought that the music could help him but it didn't, he only worried more. Naturally, Mokuba would cry when it came to his brother but he felt the certain need to not cry and tough it out. He looked up to his brother to the highest extent and he loved him dearly and Seto was his only family, if something where to happen to him, Mokuba didn't know what he'd do. Images went through his mind and he couldn't bare it!

KAME GAME SHOP

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!" cried Yugi running through the door of his grandpa's shop and their home.

Grandpa was on the step-ladder putting up new posters for duel monsters. The one he was putting up was one for the dark magician; it was one of Yugi's favorite duel monsters so he thought it would be a treat for him when Yugi came home. Startled by Yugi yelling out, Grandpa leaned too much on his right side as he turned to look at the door where he heard Yugi and tumbled down to the ground.

"GRANDPA, are you alright?" screamed Yugi seeing his grandpa fall to the floor.

"Ho, ho, I'll be okay! What's wrong Yugi?" asked Grandpa! Joey, Te'a, Tristan and Duke came in one at a time suspiciously to him in his eyes. He slowly got up with the help of Yugi and Joey.

"Have you seen Serenity Grandpa?" asked Joey in a worried voice.

"Yugi. help me! Ho, ho I think my back has gone out again!" laughed Grandpa holding his back. Yugi helped him up all the way and everyone heard his back pop which they thought was disgusting. The sound almost resembled pop corn when it would pop in the microwave. He walked over behind his desk like area which was on top of his case where he put most of his rarest cards in that where for sell and said, "No I haven't seen your sister, when did you last see her?"

"A couple of days ago! I'm getting scared!" replied Joey in a concerned fashion.

"Oh my. I should call the police," Grandpa yelled trying to grab the phone, "Yugi, help me please." After a few minutes of grandpa talking in the phone and slight noises coming from the other end of the line, he hanged up the phone.

"What is going to happen?" asked Duke.

"Yeah, I want to know!" Tristan yelled over Duke's voice.

"They said that it had to be at least twenty-four hours to report a missing person." Grandpa said.

"IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS!!!" bellowed the four teenagers.

Grandpa in complete shock at their outburst got back on the phone and reported Serenity missing once more but this time telling the operator how long she has been missing. He was on the line for a few more minutes, answering questions. "Everything will be fine. They are going to search for her!"

"Phew." whimpered Duke and Tristan at the same time.

"Why don't I fix you some hot coco, it is going to rain tonight!" Grandpa said walking to the front door and switching the open sign to closed. Everyone was worried about Serenity. As they where up stairs in Yugi's house, they tried calming their nerves by watching some television. There was a duel going on, on the local channel so they decided to watch it. Grandpa was in the kitchen happily making hot coco and sure enough ten minutes after they came in, it started to rain. Making hot coco was something he thought would help the teens calm their nerves down because it always worked for him. Joey was looking outside and was very uneasy and nervous about his sister's disappearance.

"I must go out and fine Serenity!" Joey stated, jumping up throwing his fist in the air making him look determined.

"I'll go with you!" Tristan said jumping up as well.

"I will also!" Duke stood up and yelled.

"NO you will NOT!" cried Tristan!

"Who are you to say I can or can not!!" Duke yelled back at Tristan's comment. With that, Tristan and Duke started wrestling around the living room.

"STOP!" yelled Yugi as he leaped onto the ground to save the picture frame that fell from the two wrestling around.

"Ho, ho what is going on in here," Grandpa asked before he got into the living room, "HEY!!!!!" Grandpa ran over to the closet and grabbed out a kendo stick and ran over to Tristan and Duke hitting them. The two over zealous boys wouldn't stop tackling and wrestling each other over Serenity but Grandpa wasn't going to have this at his house, he hit both kids in the head stopping them. "I knew this would come in handy one day!"

"Grandpa. Where did you get a kendo stick?" asked Yugi.

"Oh this old thing, well if you want to know sit down and I'll tell you the most fantasizing story you'll ever hear!"

"Sorry Mr. Mutou!" cried Tristan and Duke rubbing the tops of their heads that had a huge bump now on them.

"When I, your grandpa was a very young boy, maybe around your age. You see this one time, when my friends and I." Grandpa began telling his story.

ONE HOUR LATER

Everyone had fallen asleep and even Grandpa! The television was still on, the hot coca still hadn't been made and it was still raining outside. Yugi was holding onto his Millennium puzzle and Te'a's head rested on Yugi's shoulder. Tristan and Duke fell asleep by each other on the floor and they where kind of sleeping on each other and Tristan would occasionally move and punch Duke while he was asleep. Grandpa was asleep on the couch near Yugi and was snoring loudly; it was a surprise that any of teens didn't wake up from the noise. Joey half on the recliner and half hanging over the floor, he opened his eyes for a second and then closed them back. He would have just gone back to sleep but he remembered that Serenity was missing and he had to search for her! He rubbed his eyes with his hands and then slowly got up. "I GOTTA search for SERENITY!" shouted Joey with all his might waking the others in the process.

"Huh? What happened?" asked Te'a yawning.

"We all fell asleep, look at the time, its five o'clock in the afternoon! It's going to start getting dark!" Yugi said even though it was gloomy outside making it dark outside.

"We have to search for SERENITY!" cried Duke and Tristan getting up from the floor.

Grandpa was still snoring asleep and not disturbed by Joey's outburst. Yugi walked over to the love seat and grabbed a blanket off on top if it and unfolded it onto his grandpa. "Alright, let's search! I'll write a note to grandpa that I left to help you too Joey!"

"Thanks Yug, you're a great friend!" Joey said smiling.

"Alright guys, lets get moving before it gets too dark!" said Te'a already heading door stairs. Everyone followed her but no one really knew where to start looking. They were clueless to where she would be.

JOEY'S APARTMENT

After discussing where to look and going to their usual hang out spots where you could occasionally find them from time to time, they decided to look for clues at Joey's house. "Jeez Joey, you need to clean your room!" Te'a commented on his room.

"Hey! I haven't had the time for the last couple of days!" Joey replied.

"I'm just playing Joey; it's not that bad, hehehe." Te'a laughed.

"Okay, let's look for clues to what might have happened to Serenity." Yugi said looking on Joey's desk.

"But I don't see how anything here will help." Joey said.

"You never know Joey," Tristan said finding a picture of Serenity and Joey together when they where younger, "Awww, How cute was Serenity as a child, she's sooooo cute!"

"Let me see! She is cute! No wonder she is so hot now!" Duke replied looking at the picture with Tristan.

"I have to agree on that Duke." Tristan whispered looking at the picture closer.

"You two stop that, that's my sister!" Joey nipped as he grabbed the picture of him and his sister.

"Why don't we split up on our search?" asked Te'a.

"This isn't a big apartment! But if you feel it's best. Just separate those two!"

"Well we'll get done faster that way Joey." Yugi said.

"Alright."

Te'a, Joey and Duke took the kitchen and living room while Yugi and Tristan took the bedrooms and closets. Joey started looking through the cabinets as if there where some clue to his sister's disappearance there with the cups and plates. Te'a checked the answering machine and the dining table. Duke was in the living room staring at pictures of Serenity and doing nothing but that. Back in Joey's room, Yugi was searching through the papers on Joey's desk while Tristan looked under his bed. They weren't doing a good job of finding anything so after they where done, they left his bedroom and off to the kitchen to tell the rest they hadn't found anything before going off into another room. Te'a was still checking the dinning table, there was junk all over it like old newspapers, a dinner plate that hadn't been washed, a box of delivery pizza and junk mail.

"Joey doesn't your dad care about how your home looks like?" asked Te'a.

"Te'a, don't," Tristan began, "Him and his dad don't have the best relationship, I've only been here a few times but usually he doesn't invite people over because of his dad."

"I remember Tristan but still."

"My dad is at the bar, he most likely won't be coming home tonight which is good." Joey interrupted their whispering.

"Sorry Joey, I only mean the best for you because you're my friend." Te'a said starting to lean on the table but missed by an inch bringing the box of delivery pizza that was empty to the ground with a couple of pieces of paper.

"Let me help you with that." said Yugi bending down grabbing some papers.

Te'a grabbed the empty box and noticed a piece of paper that was stuck underneath it. She pulled it off; it had some grease marks on it.

"What's what?" asked Joey.

"It's a note from. YOU'RE SISTER!" Te'a screamed.

"What, what, what?!?" yelled Tristan and Duke running over to Te'a and stripping her of the note. The note had a happy chibi face that resembled Serenity and a hand making the peace sign. "Dear Joey, sorry to not tell you in person but I was invited to a camp for a week. Don't worry; we'll have time to hang out when I get back!" Tristan and Duke read aloud at the same time.

"Thank god she is safe!" Te'a sighed in relief.

"Yeah, phew!" Joey said almost fainting. "Now I know she is safe. how could I have not known or found that paper?"

"She left without saying goodbye!" said Duke crying.

"I know I don't feel special now!" Tristan cried grabbing onto Duke.
