FudoTwin17; Hi! Please, my adoring fans, don't hate me for this chapter.
Goldfish # 2; Why would they hate you more than they do now?
Cat; Because she's messing with Jack, Aki, and is bringing back an old pawn to mess with the viewers.
GoldFish # 3; Is she bringing Dan back?
Dog # 1; Dan?
GoldFish # 3; He's always a bad character. I think he's in another one of her stories.
FudoTwin17; I don't o-own Yu-gi-oh, Yu-gi-oh GX, o-or Yu-gi-oh 5D's. *begins to cry*
Chapter 2
Rebecca bit her lip, her cell clenched in her hand. After telling her grandfather, she had to step out to make a call. Her problem? She had to call the original gang. She sighed a sad sigh.
After Yugi's disappearance, they basically split up. Seto Kaiba buried himself in his work. Joey Wheeler, Taya, and Tristan just fell apart. After what they heard happened, they couldn't look at each other, blaming themselves. Bakura drew into himself after a few attempts at getting them back together. Mokuba couldn't watch his friends fall apart like that, so he got into his work. And, even though none of them could let go enough to leave New Domino, they never talked to one another again.
Her hand trembled. She hadn't spoken to them for years. How could she now to bring up their worst nightmares? It was easier for her to do it with the others only because they weren't her friends. She didn't know them. It was easier to tell them her findings.
But that didn't mean it hurt any less.
Taking a deep breath, she pressed the button and put the phone up to her ear.
"Hello?" Came a half-asleep voice. Joey Wheeler. He was the kid's first and best friend. He deserved to know first.
"Joey?" She asked skeptically.
"T-Taya?" He gasped.
"No." She took another deep breath. "It's Rebecca."
"Rebecca?" He repeated. She could see his eyebrows furrow despite him not being physically in front of her. She bit her lip. "It's been a while. Why'd you call?"
She closed her eyes, bitting her left hand's nails. "Something's happened. I'm getting-I'm getting the gang back together."
She could hear the startled gasp. She was amazed he was still holding the phone. Maybe he just couldn't put it down, though. "Getting back the gang? No way. After what happened to Yug? No. We can't-I can't-"
"You have no choice." She was startled at how businesslike her voice was, as if she had turned off all emotion. "Yugi's back. You're not letting him go this time. Meet me at the hospital-"
She was cut off the the beeps stating that the phone had been disconnected. She knew immediately that he had finally dropped the phone. But she was sure that he would be coming. As would everyone else.
. . .
Out in front of the hospital, the group stood. The two groups that Jaden and Yusei belonged to and Rebecca. Her grandfather was supposed to be stuck in the hospital for another week. Her hands were clenching the strap of her bag so hard that they were turning white.
It was right then that a group, uncertain and a few trembling, walked toward them.
Rebecca searched the group. No, Seto Kaiba and Mokuba Kaiba were gone. She guessed they were too consumed by work to come. That wasn't much of a surprise to her. But she did think that getting Yugi back would be more than enough to bring them out of that habit.
Or not.
When they made it over, they seemed to shift uncomfortably. All but Joey, who looked like he was suffering from a sudden onslaught of some drug. His hands shook and his gaze was less glazed over. He looked like he was going to just pass out any moment. But Rebecca said nothing.
Most of the group looked the exact same way. After all, most of them gave up their friends for dead. They'd quit looking. They'd given up.
"You said you could get back Yugi?" Taya asked timidly. She sort of shut down after Yugi disappeared. He was all she had left of Atem, whom they all could see she loved. And losing Yugi was like losing the last bit of him. It hurt.
"Yes." Rebecca replied. "We could get them all back." She explained the situation, fresh tears glistening in more than her eyes when she finished.
Joey nodded. He still seemed out of it. "Any place we can talk about what we're going to do? We can't stay in the middle of traffic all day." He pointed out the people moving around the rather large group.
They all looked at one another.
Thankfully, it was right then that the winds began to rage. Looking up to sky from the extreme winds, they saw a helicopter begin to lower itself down and drop a rope-ladder right into Joey's hands. He yelped. Looking up, they saw none other than the one and only Seto Kaiba. His low growl pierced through the rushing winds as if they never had been there.
"Get in."
FudoTwin17: Yay! I feel happy. Now, I'm tired. Bye!
Cat: See ya!
Dog # 1: Don't forget to review!
Dog # 3: Can I have some spaghetti?
FudoTwin17: NO! GO AWAY!
