Mafia
A/N: Wow! Three people reviewed. Yay! Oh, wow. One random day, I happened to remember my account password and email. So I logged in and found all my pitiful unfinished stories. Now, I'm happy to say I'll be continuing these stories to the best of my abilities… four years later. Eek. And I should be studying for my finals right now.
I really have to set my priorities straight.
I apologize if I do anything funky in the story because I haven't watched Yu-Gi-Oh for years, and I'm relying on my memory.
If there's anyone out there, it wouldn't hurt to help refresh my memory with that little comment box. :p
Oh, by the way, the chapter may seem pointless, but trust. It isn't.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I wasn't around when it was made! …I think.
"Mai, you're hot, but I'm sorry!" Bakura smirked. "That murder had 'Mai' written all over it."
"What?" Mai looked at Bakura in disgust. "What about you? You're a cold-blooded murderer!"
"Yet it was you who murdered Raptor."
"Was not!" Mai grimaced at her own feeble comeback. "I'd never use fire or anything that could ruin my complexion."
"I'm going to have to take Mai's side. If you get burnt, it leaves ugly marks." Tea nodded firmly.
"Well, who do you think did it?" Atemu looked expectantly at Tea.
"Ah?" Tea's cerulean eyes widened in surprise. "I'm sorry, I can't suspect anyone here. I still consider you all my friends."
"You know what? One or more of these 'friends' of yours is a killer! Can you not comprehend?" Ishizu snapped at Tea. "Oh no. Oh Ra. One or more. You may all be murderers. You," She pointed at Mai. "You," She turned to Tea. "Or even you!" She gasped as she turned to her brother.
"Calm, Ishizu," Odion whispered into her ear. "You are losing your calm."
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" She jumped back from him. "Oh no. I'm sorry; I apologize profusely. You're right. I'm going crazy over one death. I've gone through worse than this before." And with that, she regained her calm demeanor.
"I think it was Panik." Joey pointed an accusing finger at his victim. "After dat thing dat happened wit Yugi, you know it's gotta be him. Mai could ne'er do dis. Look at her! She's an angel!" Joey grinned sheepishly as Mai gave him an appreciative smile.
"Hey! What about us?" Rebecca pulled Mokuba to her side. "Just because we're kids doesn't mean we aren't capable of murder! We could've killed Raptor!" Rebecca pouted.
The rest of the group burst into laughter.
"All you want is attention. You're so stupid." Noa rolled his eyes. "Everyone knows you're too wimpy and an ignoramus to do something as smart as that. This kind of murder is for people more like… Seto."
"One, fragrance was used. You can sniff me all you want, but I won't smell like perfume," Seto said rationally. "Two, I'm not a pyromaniac, like Panik. This was obviously one of Panik's careless acts. Also, aren't you all being a bit too generous? Just because perfume was used doesn't mean Mai was the one who murdered Raptor."
"What are you saying, Kaiba?" Atemu peered at him suspiciously.
"Anyone could've just bought perfume to frame her. Anyone could've swiped perfume and used it for it flammability. In fact, it could've been a coincidence. When you're faced with murder, you've got to think of all the possibilities."
"You've been reading Agatha Christie again, haven't you brother?"
"Shut up."
"Nothing is being solved this way." Shadi stepped forward. "I say we vote now. This is going nowhere."
"Mai." Bakura nudged Ryou.
"Oh! M-mai." Ryou stammered.
"Panik." Pegasus ran his fingers through his hair.
"Mai, obviously." Noa sniffed.
"Panik." Malik shrugged.
"Panik." Espa shrugged, confused as Malik.
"Mai," said Shadi.
"Marik!" Marik shouted out gleefully. The others ignored him.
"Panik." Solomon sighed sadly.
"Mai," Tristan said meekly.
"Panik." Tea punched Tristan's shoulder.
"Panik," Odion stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Mai." Rebecca coughed.
"Mai." Duke twisted his face. Pegasus raised an eyebrow at him.
"Panik!" Mai protested against them.
"Mai." Mako frowned. He had trouble deciding between the other, but in the end, he felt that Mai was the more dangerous one.
"Mai." Serenity twiddled her fingers. Joey looked at her in horror.
"Panik. Serenity! How could you want Mai dead over dat goo-" The two siblings began to argue.
"Panik." Yugi bit his lip.
"Mai." Mokuba scratched his cheek.
"Panik." Seto gazed at his sibling disapprovingly.
"Mai." Weevil sniffled.
"Panik." Ishizu nodded. The vote was now tied, and Panik did what he did best – panicked.
"You guys have got to believe me! It wasn't me! It was Mai! ALL MAI!" Panik screamed hysterically.
"And I say Panik. Well, it's a tied vote. Twelve for Mai and Panik each, and one for Marik." Atemu frowned. "What shall we do now?"
Bakura and Marik cackled as they whispered among themselves. "We say… SEND THEM BOTH TO HELL!" In unison, they whipped out their treasures.
"What? No! Marik didn't vote! Make him vote!" Mai screeched, horrified.
An inundation of tears flowed out of Tea's lids as she hugged onto Mai's right arm. "What the hell is wrong with you people? Can't you see that man's a monster? Mai could never murder anyone!"
Silence.
"Well, actually, Marik did vote." Atemu broke the silence. "So, it's a tie."
"Aha!" Marik and Bakura's ring and rod began to glow. "Both?"
"I feel that's unfair." Serenity frowned. "Panik doesn't deserve to go to that…" She shuddered. "Place. Oh! And neither does Mai."
Atemu pondered for a second. "Send them both."
And the two were gone.
"You bastard! You bastard! How could you?" Tea sobbed hysterically as she pounded Atemu's back.
Most of the others looked terror-stricken.
Pegasus, Shadi, Seto, Ishizu, Atemu, and Noa's expressions remained emotionless.
Bakura and Marik looked as if they were enjoying this game.

"If a single death could do that, what do you think another death would do?" Laughter.
"They'll all fall apart."
"Delightful."
"Very." More laughter.
Four mafia members remain.

A/N: Now, if you comment, do comment on whom you suspect and whom you think the mafia are going to kill next. Limit two guesses per person, please. :D I'm sorry this chapter's a mess. But, if I haven't mentioned it before, I'll just let you all know that all the mafia members, nurses, and cops have been planned out beforehand. And I happened to find the file on my computer. :O Wowzers.
