Okay, there isn't much to say here except-well...I just have to say thank you to the reviewers. I really enjoyed reading the reviews. That is what inspired me to do this, because I want to make all of these chapters long and less talking. I promise that the Ode to Reviewers will come back, but not in this chapter. I'm too beat to do anything else right now...X.X...

Here we go!!!

Abandoning the 'Dude' and 'Man'. Time for Business.

The day went by rather slowly. Nothing to see, not wanting to get into Joey's or Yugi's way. This was the most boringness day of their lives.

Naomi checked her watch. "It's three-thirty." He stretched and leaned back in her chair.

They had stopped by a cafe to get something to drink.

"Dude, anything to do dudes?"

"Nope. Nothing Kurt." Tiki sipped her Coke. "If there was, I'd scream 'Hallelujah, Praise the Lord'. 'Cause I'm as bored as you are."

Jake looked at Naomi. "You said it was three-thirty?(3:30pm ^_~ hehe...) Guess Malik must be dueling Yugi again right about now..." He stirred his ice in his glass.

Naomi giggled, "Well, we know who's gonna win that one. Yugi is. And he's gonna get the God Osiris(Slyfer). We all know that."

"Do we? Naomi, I'm a little worried about this all. Something isn't right anymore. We watched Joey and Weevil's duel on the big screen in the courtyard place. It didn't go as planned. I mean, Joey won in five minutes. That was not how it was suppose to go." Jake licked his lips. "I mean, maybe, without knowing...we did change the future here..."

Tiki waved him off. "Nonsense. Besides, the angle of that duel we saw at home, most of it was thoughts anywho. I mean, come on. We have done nothing wrong yet."

"Dudes, Tiki, that duel wasn't the same. Weevil didn't play his Great Moth nor his Insect Queen." Kurt swallowed hard. "Maybe we should...check up on them."

Jake nodded. "Good idea Kurt. Me and Naomi will go find Yugi, while you and Tiki will go find Joey. But let's just tail them. I know we said we wouldn't. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Okay?"

"Wait. Why can't I be with Naomi? Besides, girls should stick together."

"Because Tiki, we need to work together. Just stop complaining and let's go!" Jake ordered and grabbed Naomi's hand. "We have no time!"

Kurt nodded. "C'mon Tiki. Let's go find Joey."

"Alright...Hey! Don't pull me! I think I can run myself Kurt!"

"Dude, you ain't fast enough man."

"I can see how you get on Naomi's nerves now...If you call me a man one more time...I'LL KILL YOU!!"

"Sheesh...sorry...Hey! There they-"

"Shut up moron!" Tiki's hand was tight over Kurt's mouth. "We are spies. Just keep that in mind and let them not know that we're here." She whispered into his ear.

She pulled them into a shop and looked out of the window. Joey, Tea and Mr. Motou all walked by the shop. Minding their own business. Talking and laughing on.

Kurt flung Tiki's hand away. He looked saddened as they walked by. "Poor guys...they don't even know what's gonna happen to them..."

"Quiet!" Tiki snapped. "I know moron. You think it is easy for me to just sit back and know that something bad is going to happen and you can stop it. Yet, you can't?"

"Yeah...I know..." Kurt, for once and for all in this plot, abandoned his trademark tongue. (A/N: *sniff* poor Kurt...he abandoned his 'Dudes' and 'Mans'...I liked those too...)

"Hey...you didn't say 'dude'...What's wrong with you?" Tiki raised her eyebrow.

Kurt shrugged. "Guess that trademark should be forgotten right now. That's all. 'Guess it's just an inside thing. A vow to myself that I wouldn't use that word unless everyone was happy and I could crack a laugh. That isn't the situation now though. So I'll lay that aside. But beware girl, when I hear laughter, I will say that loud and clear-"

"-Watch out!" Tiki shouted as Kurt banged right into the post.

DONG!!!

"Ow! Ow! Ow!!!!" Kurt howled as Tiki shut his mouth again with her hand.

"Shut up moron!!"

Bakura walked down an alleyway, minding his own business. He was searching for that girl Naomi, but couldn't find her. It was like she had just disappeared! He growled and walked on with his hands shoved into his pockets. (A/N: BAKURA BAKURA 'KURA!!! *sqwee*)

"Where are they...I need that girl for my plan. Yet I might not need her if the course of the future has already changed. I can sense that it has. But she can just be for insurance..." He mumbled to himself, hearing a motorcycle nearby. His Item suddenly lurched, sensing another Item nearby. He sneered and turned around.

A man riding a motorcycle turned into the alleyway, heading almost straight towards him. "It must be my lucky day..." He said and held his hands out. "Stop Mortal!" He commanded as the man gave a complete turn and skidded to a stop.

"What do you want?!" The man on the motorcycle yelled, already growing impatient. "I don't have time for this nonsense. Get out of the way."

Bakura smirked. "You have an Item I want secured to your belt." He pointed out as the man took out his Item.

"What? You want this? My Millennium Rod? How would you know about the Rod?" The man asked as Bakura smirked.

"I know a lot about those Items foolish mortal. And I know if you don't hand it over, let's just say things won't be pretty."

The man looked at him strangely. "Who are you?"

"A tomb robber of sorts. I've lived for longer than you can imagine. So I'm not a pushover like that former Pharaoh."

"Did you say Pharaoh? You mean the spirit that lives within the Puzzle?"

"Exactly. Seems we have a lot in common. What's your name mortal?"

"Malik. That's all you need to know."

"Okay Malik, if you could just hand over your Item. You can go away unharmed. I don't have the time. I'm looking for a very important person." Bakura informed, now he was the one getting impatient with this Malik character.

"So am I. She holds a key that I need to posses."

"A key?" Bakura raised an eyebrow. "A key that can change the future if necessary?"

Malik looked shocked. "How did you know that?"

The spirit chuckled, "I guess we are looking for the same person then, aren't we? Is her name Naomi?"

Now Malik smirk. "Seems we are looking for the same person. I have a proposition for you-?"

"Bakura. Go on."

"I will give you my Rod if you help me claim all of the cards I desire and help me catch this Naomi. She could be of use to both of us. But my sister also holds a Millennium Item and I know where the rest are. Do you care to join me?"

Bakura gave it some thought. 'I could use this mortals ignorance against him and claim all. This might work...' He looked up. "Fine Malik, we have a deal."

Suddenly two teenagers ran by them in a hurry. The two guys had to blink twice before they noticed the purple bandana in the blondes hair.

"THAT'S HER!!" They yelled in unison and started to chase after them. Bakura hopped onto the back of Malik's bike as Malik sped away towards them.

"I never liked motorcycles..." The spirit muttered to himself.

Naomi ran on with Jake, slowly running with Jake. "Jake, could you slow down?" She breathed as Jake shook his head.

"No! We have to keep going! I believe I know where Yugi is." He informed as Naomi just sighed.

"Where Jake?"

Jake pointed to a tall building that raised into the sky. "My calculations point me to there. The Duel between Umbra and Lumis."

"Oh...That would explain the hologram of the Blue Eyes White Dragon on top of that building, right?"

"Yep, that would be the place."

"Good, 'cause I'm getting-" Suddenly two people on a motorcycle picked her up and tossed her onto the cycle. "JAKE!!!" Her screams were deafening. She sped past Jake who only looked at her dumbfounded, helpless and hopeless. Who had her? She thought she knew by the purple shirt of the driver.

"No! Bring her back!!" Jake shouted, starting to run after them as fast as he could. It wasn't fast enough. He tripped on a trashcan and fell flat on his face. "Ow..." He groaned and lifted his head off of the pavement. The motorcycle sped away, caring with it the only girl that knew the true outcome of Battle City.

Jaken stood up slowly. What could he do? What was he going to do? 'Tell Yugi! Yeah! He would help out!' Jake thought and raced towards the huge building that had a duel raging on its rooftop right now.

He ran into the building, it looked more like a mall, and ran up the down escalators. That didn't work to well. He came right back down. Tried to go up again. Came right back down. Then he had the brilliant idea of going the other way! Jake hit his forehead and raced up the up escalator. The boy raced up thirty flights of stairs when he realized he could have taken the elevator. Too late now, he was at the top and ready to bust onto the rooftop.

Jaken swung the door open and raced outside to see the duel right in its climax moments. He raced over to Yugi and shook him. "Naomi! Naomi Gone!" He said exhausted as Yugi, who was really Yami at the time.

"What? I'm in the middle of a duel Jake." Yami said as Jake nodded and pointed towards the pier

"Naomi...gone..." He tried to catch his breath. "Naomi, been k-"

"Listen, will you please step aside? Can't you see we're in the middle of a duel?" Seto Kaiba interrupted very impatiently.

Yami nodded. "Yes, we are having a duel. And I have to find my friends before Malik does something horrible to them."

Jake sighed. "I know-"

"Please Jake. I'll be with you later. Naomi probably just went off by herself." Yami turned back to the duel and continued.

Jake gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "If a duel is more important than Naomi, fine. I'll rescue her myself." He said lowly and stormed off of the rooftop.

Yami looked back one more time with an eyebrow raised. What did he mean by rescue? He shook the thought off and continued dueling.

Jake stormed out of the building and gave the finger back up at the building. "Fine." He took off running again. But this time he was going to go find Tiki and Kurt. They could help. They had to.

~~~

Kurt rubbed his eye, which was black and swollen from the collision with the pole. He grumbled to himself and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Why didn't you tell me there was a pole there? Inside of that building."

"Because." Tiki replied. "I didn't know till you ran into it. It was pretty funny though." She laughed.

"Funny or not. We lost Joey and the others because of that metal piece of crap." He snorted. "And now I have no clue where they are, do you?"

Tiki suddenly stopped, feeling something was wrong. Her feelings never lied.

"What's wrong?" Kurt asked, turning back to Tiki.

"Something's wrong."

"And what gave you that impression?" He said sarcastically.

"A gut feeling I've had since I was little. And the scary part is, it's usually right..."

Kurt just looked at her, shocked as a holler came from behind him.

"KURT! TIKI! YOU GOTTA HELP!" It was Jake. He looked like he had been running for a while. He stopped at them and leaned against Kurt.

"Jake. What's wrong bud?" Kurt asked as Jake shook his head. Beads of sweat were rolling down his face.

"Naomi's been-"-He gasped-"kidnapped."

This statement caught Tiki's full attention. "What?! Where? Who has taken my best friend?!" She cried, turning Jake to face her head on. "Who's taken her! C'mon! Out with it idiot!"

"M-Malik and Bakura..." He finally spoke as Tiki and Kurt just stared wide-eyed at him.

"We have to get help!" Tiki started in pandemonium. She pranced about nervously. Her best friend had been taken by two wackos in her opinion. (A/N: NO OFFENSE!! TO ALL OF YOU MALIK AND BAKURA LOVERS OUT THERE!!)

"Yeah! Help! Joey and-"

"No Kurt. I already asked Yugi, he won't. He was too wound up in his little duel to even acknowledge me." Jake shook his head. "We are going to have to do this. And I know exactly where Naomi is. The pier. Malik's boat probably." Kurt and Tiki nodded.

"Let's hurry!" Tiki shouted as they started to run for the pier, practically dragging Jake along. He was too exhausted to do anything.
