A/N: Yeah, random note here. I've never actually played the board game Cluedo. I've played it on the Wii. So if the rules of the game are weird, it's cause I don't know them, haha :P Enjoy

Chapter 4: Unexpected Plot Twist!?

"Yami! Where are you?" Marik called as he walked around the house. He and the others had checked the bathroom and Yami wasn't there.

"We still have time before someone else dies." Duke said. "Let's split up again and meet back here five minutes before the ringtone goes off, with or without Yami."

Marik nodded. "Okay. Split up!"

So they went their separate ways. Tea walked back to the kitchen to look at the letter Serenity had used for a clue, Yugi wandered off down the hallway, Duke walked back to the main room to see if Yami had returned there, Tristan stayed put and Marik checked the rooms again.

When it was five minutes too, everyone met up again.

"No luck huh?" Tea asked each of them.

"You know, we can't completely rule out Melvin and Bakura…" Yugi said with a frown. "They could be killing people behind our backs."

Duke thought for a moment. "Yeah, but then the victims would actually be dead." He said. They all shuddered at the thought.

"Still, it doesn't hurt to check. I'll go back down there." Duke said.

"I'll go double check the kitchen." Tea suggested.

"I'll go back to the rooms." Yugi said.

"I'll piece together what we have so far." Marik said. The group split again.

Meanwhile, Yami was hiding from everyone under a table, relieved that he had managed to escape Duke's guard. "I can't have them finding me." He muttered under his breath. He really despised having to hide from everyone as he was actually starting to have a fun. But he couldn't be found. Pouting, Yami crossed his arms and leaned forward, pressing himself against the floor.

Something underneath the couch caught his eye and he reached for it. "An empty soft drink bottle?" He said, frowning as he turned it in his hands. "Is this a clue? How does this link to everything?"

"Don't you know where bottles are usually found, Yami?" A familiar voice called. Yami froze. I've been found. In the distance, he heard the ringtone and Tristan yelling that time was up. Yami looked up from under the table, his eyes going wide.

"Ah. I see now. Serenity was very smart when it came to placing clues around the house. So are you going to kill me now?" He asked.

The murderer nodded raising a plastic sword. "Goodbye Yami."

The manly scream of the Pharaoh shocked Marik out of his daydreams, followed by a large bang and a door slam. "Frig!" He exclaimed, running to the sound. It was the same room everyone had searched before Ryou died. When Marik reached the room he opened the door to find Yami lying on the ground and a table flipped on its side next to him.

"What? But I could've sworn he was the murder…" Marik said with surprise. He walked over the body and picked up a bottle lying in Yami's hand. "What's this? A clue?" He said, analysing it.

He frowned, willing the gears in his mind to turn as he tried to solve the crime. Marik sighed when he couldn't find the solution. "Alright Yami. Go to the main room and tell everyone you died." Marik told him.

Yami stood up and stretched. "At least now I won't have to follow orders from Melvin." He said. "What about you Marik? What are you going to do?" He asked.

Marik frowned. "There's something missing. This room is a terrible mess! The murderer was in a rush… and I want to know why." Marik said.

Yami smiled. "Well good luck. I'm sure you'll find out everything soon enough. Better be quick though – the murder has nearly killed everyone." And with that Yami left the room, leaving Marik alone.

Marik looked around the room again. The clues were placed at the beginning of the game, so there was no way the bottle had been left here now. He and the others had searched the room. If it wasn't announced that it was found, then someone was hiding its existence.

Marik snapped his fingers. "Ah ha! The murderer found it, but kept quiet. Sneaky!" He looked again around the room. Judging by the terrible states (that Marik would never leave any room in his house it), the murder was in a rush. That also made Marik think that there was something besides the bottle being hidden in the room.

He got on his hands and knees and crawled slowly, careful not to miss anything. When he got back to his feet, he kicked the wall. "Frig! What's missing!?" He exclaimed. At that moment, something fell from in between the crack of the wall and the cupboard. Marik stared at it before walking over and picking it up. "A plastic sword?" He asked himself. He looked between the sword and the bottle in his hands, before something in his mind clicked. "Not a sword… a knife! I've figured it out!"


When Yami reached the main room he found Joey and Kaiba bickering about something with Tea and Yugi trying to calm them down, Ryou happily chatting with Serenity, Tristan shaking his head and Duke watching Melvin and Bakura.

"Butler! There you are! Go fetch me more sandwiches!" Melvin ordered, pulling a tired Bakura into his lap.

"Hah! I just died! No longer will I serve you Melvin!" Yami said happily, crossing his arms. Melvin made a face.

"I'll go and get you a sandwich Melvin." Bakura offered, hoping to get out of Melvin's arms.

"No. You're staying right here Fluffy. Your head makes a lovely pillow." Melvin said happily. Bakura groaned.

"Yami, you were killed?" Duke asked. Yami nodded.

"I know for sure the murderer isn't Bakura or Melvin. They were here when the ringtone sounded." Duke said, looking over to Yugi and Tea. "I think Tea is the murder. Where's Marik? I need to tell him."

At that moment, the door of the main room burst open.

"There is no need to tell me anything, for I, the great master detective Marik Ishtar have solved the crime!" He announced, triumphantly holding the bottle in one hand and the sword in the other.

"Hey, you found the clues!" Serenity said cheerfully.

"Yes, but there is one clue missing. The letter." Marik said.

"Oh, here. I held onto it when I went to search the kitchen." Tea said, handing the letter over to Marik.

"You weren't searching the kitchen, were you? You were just buying your time before you could kill someone." Duke said, wrapping an arm around Tea's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll make sure they treat you nicely in prison." He said.

Tea rolled her eyes while Marik shook his head.

Everyone looked expectantly at Marik, who wanted to make this moment dramatic.

Finally, he pointed a finger at someone. "The murder is you!"

A/N: Cliff hanger! Don't you hate me? I'd hate me too
