In the crime full section of Domino, Bakura storms out of one of the apartment buildings, grumbling to himself, "How dare that guy try to make a move on Ryou, the nerve of him." he growls out.

Ryou clings onto Bakura's arm as he looks around, "Why didn't Jou tell us about his dad...we could of help him..oh I hope he is alright." he said.

Bakura looks down at him, "Probably wanted to handle his own problems and bloudie can take care of himself. Come on we still got places to search before check in comes." he said.

In front of the school, Malik and Marik walk out of the school gates, "I hope Jou is alright. Did he just forget that crazy guy is after him." Malik said.

Marik looks around, "Its clear that his heart spoke louder then his brain. Its almost meeting time we better hurry." he said.

At Seto's Mansion, Seto slams down the phone, "That stupid mutt." he growls out.

"You know its your fault that he ran off like that. I know you have trouble with your emotions, but you can't hide behind your mask forever, brother." Mokuba said.

"Enough with this talk about my feelings, I already decided long along how I would deal with them myself." Seto said as he walks out of his office.

'These feelings I have...its been a while since I felt this way about anyone else besides Mokuba...but why for him of all people.' he thinks.

Down at Yugi's card shop, "Yami..I have a bad feeling about this. Its not like Jou to run off like that. I just hope that crazy guy didn't get him yet." he said.

Yami pulls Yugi into a hug, "Don't worry so much my little one, Jou can take himself and I don't sense Ralph in the town." he said.

Yugi pulls back a bit, "I know, its just that he seems so powerful..I just hope we find him before Ralph does." he said.

At the semi-empty apartment, Jou groans as he slowly wakes up as he sits up, 'Man, can't believe I fell asleep here, dad is going to kill me.' he thinks.

Slowly makes his way out of the bed while looking around then ruffs up his hair when he hears a strange growling noise coming from the hallway. Jou slowly opens the door as he looks around, "Hello?" he asked.

The growling stop and is follow by loud thumping sounds start heading towards him causing Jou to rush back into the room as the ground under starts to shake, "Please be an earthquake." he whispers as he looks around for some type of cover. Sees a nice wooden table near the bed that he can fit under, makes a run for it when the ground above him starts to creak up and all of sudden some type of energy breaks though the ceiling sending Jou throw the wall between table and the bed. Jou lands on the other bed in the other room as he falls unconscious while a shadowy creature looks in from the destroy room before vanishing in the wind.
