I am so crazy super sorry that I haven't updated sooner but I have been playing a fierce game of hide and seek with the plot and I finally found it! I promise that I will be more regular with my updates soon and the fluff factor will be dumbed down significantly. I only did that because there was no plot until now. Alright I think you get the point now so I am just going to stop talking and let you read now but seriously I am really sorry

It had been several hours later and yami and I were asleep when we both bolted awake to hear a high pitched shriek come from outside.

He rushed out of bed and ran outside to find a deeply distressed serenity shaking and screaming outside of a blue caravan.

"Serenity! What happened what's wrong?" We yelled as we got over to where she was.

"Blood, lots of blood, everywhere!" she was shaking profusely and I tried to calm her down while yami went into the caravan to see what she was talking about.

"YUGI! Yami yelled as he busted out of the room and grabbed my hand, pulling me harshly into the caravan where I stopped dead in my tracks.

"GRANDPA!" I yelled as I ran over to the bed that was soaked with blood. His body was mangled and broken where it lay on the bed.

There was a note written on the wall in blood that read "take this as a warning"

Horrified I ran out of the caravan and promptly threw up any contents of my stomach. A warning? A warning for what? What did grandpa do wrong? Why had it come to this?

Questions rolled around my head as the entire camp ran up to the caravan to see what had happened.

"Who would do this?" Joey yelled as he ran from the caravan, looking pissed off and scared.

Mokuba was trying to sneak into the caravan when seto caught him and gave him a glare that said "just try and you will regret it"

Mokuba shied away and ran off to do something else while everyone else tried to figure out who had done this. Everyone except for Akefia that is.

Yami and I had the same idea as we rose from the ground and headed over to the ring king's caravan. He was the only one not here and he defiantly knew about it, there is no way you could sleep through all the screams that serenity had given.

We arrived to the red caravan and knocked quickly for a moment before hearing a gruff "come in"

Yami and I entered and found Akefia behind a large desk with large piled of papers around the room. There was a distinct smell of something strong but I couldn't put a finger to it. It was strong though and got worse as the time went by.

"What do you want?" Akefia growled out as he continued to work on some of his papers.

"Why?"

"Why what you little brat?" Akefia yelled

"Why did you kill him?"

"You are much smarter than I gave you credit for you little brat"

"Tell us why!"

"If someone didn't die last night it wouldn't be much of a murder circus now would it?"

"A murder what?
"You heard me, this is a murder circus. Every performance requires death to occur, and in vast quantities, last night we didn't kill any audience members so someone had to take their place, therefore he had to die to satisfy the need"

"You bastard! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!"

"Didn't I just answer that question? If someone doesn't die every performance one of you will die in their place. It's that simple, so if you want to blame someone for his death blame yourselves for no fulfilling my rule of death"

"How the hell were we supposed to know that! No one told us anything!"

"I figured you needed an example to learn that rule"

"I could kill you, you sick bastard!"

"If you do that then you must take my place as the ringleader and then you would have to continue what I left off, just as I had to. Now get out before you become the next target!"

"No, not until you tell us why we have to kill people!"

"You will learn in time that not everything about this circus was meant to be "happy""

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means that the music and voices you hear will get worse and worse until you satisfy their need for death! They have haunted and still haunt every member of this circus and if they don't get what they want you will either go insane or die. Now get out before I let them take you next!"

We were whipped out of the room in a strong gust of wind and landed on our backs not fully understanding what was going on.

"Kill him… you know you want to… you have to… there is no choice… become him…"

"Yami would you stop whispering that please?"

"I was just about to ask you the same thing"

He wasn't joking, they really are getting louder.
