No, no … Melinda … why … why you, why me, why Aayaka, why Valerie … we never should have met … never …

Amaya's grip on Thief's arms tightened. She kept her eyes closed, not wanting to look at remains of their lair as they burn down. Burn down like the very dream she was living for.

Suddenly she heard Malik gasp. Until now she hadn't realised Malik was standing so close to her and Yami Bakura. Against her will she forced her left eye to open … then shock completely overcome her body and she, wide eyed, tear herself strongly from Yami Bakura and took a step forward.

From the smoke, from the fire, from falling wood, a form of a man was staggering. His clothes were ripped, burned, his arms and face black from smoke, but he seemed alright. A little confused, but alive. Yami Malik was alive.

Malik screamed something in surprise. Yami Bakura stayed silent, watching him coming closer. But Amaya … knew what happened before Yami Malik opened his mouth. I need to talk to Ayaka NOW, she thought desperately. This is urgent! But she can't let anyone around her know just how urgent it is or they might start asking questions … she has to be patient. And above all … not let Yami Malik out of her sight. Never.

»That woman … I finally tasted incredible power! It was so sweet … strong … but fuck it, she screamed and it threw me against the wall. Screaming and hugging herself, Melinda disappeared. With … power … that can bring world to it's knees …« he barely said, his eyes dazed by the immense energy that he felt … and wanted to feel again.

Amaya, deciding patience isn't her strong point, gripped Yami Malik's wrist and lock her fingers so tight around it she felt his pulse.

»All you come with me now!« She gave a strong push to Yami Malik, ordering him to follow her.

»Now wait just a minute woman!« angrily shouted Yami Bakura, his displeased eyes watching Amaya's hand holding Marik's wrist. »What the fuck is going on?«

»I promise … promise I'll tell you everything, just follow me please!« Knowing Marik will have to follow her because of her iron grip and the fact he really didn't have a choice since he could barely walk and she can do to him whatever she wants right now, she turned to look at Malik. She used the most sad, begging, damsel-in-distress facial expression she could manage at this tragic moment. Maybe it worked, or maybe the mere sight of her still crying eyes was the reason Malik's seriously angry eyes turned soft and compassionate and he nodded. She heard Thief growl, but knew he'll go with her too.

Dragging Yami Malik ruthlessly away from the burning remains, Malik and Yami Bakura quietly followed her. Melinda was gone, but she could come back any minute … Amaya's eyes were sore, but dry. The most important thing; keep Yami Malik with her AT ALL COSTS. Then talk to Ayaka. If she's right … she just found out Melinda's weakness. But right now she must find a place to stay. She can use her powers to make it undetectable from anyone magical, so Melinda finding them won't be a problem.

»Where are we going?« asked Malik.

»Well, we can't go to a hotel, we don't have any … oh.« Amaya stopped walking. Still gripping Marik's wrist, she checked side pocket of her black skirt. In a shiny violet wallet, decorated with typical Japanese purikura pictures of her and Aya being silly, she found thousands of euros. Thanks to Kaiba's stolen credit card. Malik came closer and peeked in her wallet. His eyes widened and he looked at her in surprise. She blushed. »Ah, er … this money was a gift by … a generous friend.« He raised an eyebrow, then said: »Does Royal Olympic Hotel sound good?«

Ayaka was packing her things with shaking hands. She got no response from Amaya, though she kept checking her phone every minute. Giving up on trying to stay calm and collected, she crashed to the floor and started to cry again. Shamefully, even though no one was in her room, she put her arm on her eyes. How … how can someone expect her to deal with this pain? She had no idea. It's like … she's in incredible pain but managing to think clearly.

»Oh my god Aya … oh my god …« came a soft whisper. Ayaka slowly removed her arm and turned around. Image of black haired girl with sad, teary green eyes was standing still, watching her. Her form was not very clear; it often happen when someone astral projects themselves spiritually. For a moment, green eyes and grey eyes stared at each other, sadly.

»If I'd be here physically I'd hug you and never let you go,« whispered Amy brokenly, big tear rolling down her cheek. Aya's chin trembled, then she whispered back: »Baka. You'd have to let me go sooner or later, imagine how uncomfortable it would be for us to go to the bathroom together.«

As they both let out a small laugh, Ayaka stood up and moved closer, pushing away a few red bangs that fell over her eyes with still shaky hand.

»Aya, I'm so … so … so sorry. I always screw thing up, don't I?« More tears came down from green eyes. Amaya kept looking straight into Ayaka's eyes, wanting her friend to fell her regret with all her heart. Ayaka smiled. »Oh Amy. We both need each other right now. Amy don't worry. I'd sure as hell like to slap you, but I'm so happy …«

Amaya let out a deep sigh of relief. »Melinda-«

»That's not Melinda.«

»Wha … what? No … no … don't tell me … don't …« Amaya closed her eyes, not wanting to believe the truth.

»Amy, I'm sorry. Melinda is dead. She was dead before … Valerie told me.«

»How! Valerie! How?«

Ayaka explained all slowly. She had a feeling Amaya was nervous and impatient, but shrugged it off and added: »Amaya, listen to me. We're grief stricken, but we must stop Nerissa. Therefore, let's make a pact. Let's make sure Valerie and Melinda will rest in peace by destroying Nerissa. We will have time to grieve over them later. We have to pull ourselves together.«

Amaya sniffed but her eyes got a glint of determination. Her tears stopped falling. »Got it. Strong now, sad later. You're right. We'll push our sadness aside temporarily; until we stop Nerissa. Then we'll give Melny and Valy the funeral … and farewell they deserve. They are the true heroes.«

Two friends smiled at each other. Minute of silence passed. Then Amaya started to grow nervous again. »What's wrong with you?« asked Aya, concerned.

»Okay, listen carefully! I don't have much time right now. I assume you're going to Athens?«

»Yes, but-«

»Listen! I know Nerissa's weakness! Now do as I say; tell others we need to be extremely careful. I and Malik, Marik and Yami Bakura are on our way to Royal Olympic Hotel. It's a must no one knows you and the rest will be coming! Aya, use all of your power to make our friends undetectable from Nerissa's magic; I'll do the same, that way she won't know where are we. You get Kaiba to pay for a room for you all in Amalia Hotel. In two days, teleport to me-«

»Wait, Amy, if we make our hotel rooms undetectable at all time, we could die from exhaustion in four days!«

»I know. But I've got a plan. Trust me. Just teleport to me in two days … at five in the morning.«

»What?«

»Sorry, but three boys I'm crashing with get up at six am already and it's crucial no one hears what we're talking!«

»Alright.«

»And … can you do me favour?«

»Sure, what is it?«

»Tell Jounouchi and Yami I am deeply sorry and I'll be at debt to them eternally. And hug Bakura-kun for me! Tell him to drink his tea not too hot, to get well soon, eat properly, exercise, watch for his health, it would be dreadful if he'd caught a cold, not use too much salt on his food, not too much sugar either, comb his soft hair three times a day so it won't get knots, not to eat peanuts, his tummy always hurts after-«

»Amaya, calm down!«

»Sorry. And, uh, has Kaiba mentioned anything about his credit card?«

»Fortunately for us, no! I was relieved too.«

»Good. No reason to remind him of it, just stay quiet. In two days!«

»In two days!«

With that, Amaya's image disappeared. Ayaka breathed in and out deeply. Right. First she needs to tell Kaiba about change of plan; they'll be going straight to Amalia Hotel where she'll make sure to use all of her magical strenght to protect all of them. Deciding only duelers should go, it meant Kaiba, Jou, Yami, Bakura, Mai and Isis will go to Athens. And Shada, for obvious reasons. The rest will stay here.

Secondly, she needs to tell Amy's sorry to Jounouchi and Yami, and tell Bakura … tell Bakura … ah hell, she'll just say to him Amy sends him greeting and a hug.

Agatha Elene is a beautiful young woman. She spends a lot of time making sure her skin doesn't get tanned, so she can stay white, wich goes perfectly with her freshly bleached hair, wrapped up in high ponytail. Her eyebrows are a very thin cocky line and over her eyes is heavy pink make up. Many say she has too much of it, but she likes it that way, everyone else is just jealous of her good looks!

As she was chewing her gum and checking her appearance in small hand mirror, she saw a very odd bunch of people walking to her reception desk. She stared at them in awe, hiding her hand mirror behind her back quickly. One girl and three guys, who were all tall. One had snow white long hair and looked around him with a smirk. Other two seemed like some sort of twins … the twin with wild hair seemed to be dirty over his face, but at the same time it seemed someone was trying to clean him up to make him look presentable. The black haired girl who seemed distressed was gripping his wrist. What weird people.

She watched them stop behing the reception desk. Well, guests are guests! She smiled and greeted them in greek language: »Welcome to Royal Olympic Hotel! How may I help you?«

The girl looked at her, confused. One of the twins- the one who looked nicer- said asked black haired girl something in some strange language. Where has she heard it before? Oh yeah, some Asian tourists often spoke like that … if these people are Asian, they are certainly very different from usual ones …

Suddenly white haired boy scoffed and started to say something angrily. The girl yelled at him, then turned back to face her and said in English: »Hello? Do you speak english?«

Agatha smiled. »Of course,« she replayed in perfect English, »how may I help you miss?«

»I need the best room you have. The biggest too.«

»Just a moment … … yes, we have a suite with french bed-«

Suddely, there was an uproar – the three guys and girl began to talk over each other like crazy, mixing Asian and English language.

»No, watashi want a separate bed!«

»Does it have a TV?«

»Food, food, onna, does it have food!«

»Urasai baka!«

»Nani, can't you give us free room service?«

»Ano, about the bed …«

»Doste just a mini fridge?«

»Fuck it onna.«

»Oh, you don't know English word for woman, but you know how to say fuck?«

»Mite, mite minna!«

»Doste are you still holding him?«

»Ne, ne, does it have a radio?«

»Yo, I'm talking to teme!«

»Don't call her teme!«

»Acting righteous, onna?«

»Onna janai, watashi wa Amaya! Use it!«

»Sauna? Do you understand? Moshi moshi? Yo, do you understand? Sauna?«

»FOOD!«

»Kisama! Be more polite!«

After several minutes, Agatha managed to understand what they wanted and gave them the best suite the hotel could offer; they had large amount of money so it wasn't a problem. She was just thinking how the girl and three guys will sleep in only one french bed, when black haired girl returned and said: »Sorry, but I have to do this.« Then she raised her fingers and snapped them.

Oh! Agahta blinked. What happened? Did she dozed off? She felt weird … like … she couldn't remember what she was doing just moments ago … oh well. Time to check her hair! She pulled out her hand mirror and observed her image from all angles.

)Xxxx)X(xxxX(

Ayaka sighed. Standing in front of Seto, Yami, Jou, Mai, Isis, Bakura and Shada, she was just convincing them how important it is to follow Amy's plan.

»How do we know we can trust Natsu? What if she's controlled by Nerissa?« asked Kaiba suspiciously.

»Oh please,« waved her hand nonchalantly Aya, »I would sense a dark shadowing power over her if she'd be. I completely trust her now, you should have seen her. There's no way she'd be that hurt if Nerissa would have power over her. It's just … I can't explain, I just sense it. And if you trust me, you'll have to trust Amy too.«

»I trust Amaya,« said Yami proudly and looked around him importantly. Mai and Aya rolled her eyes, Bakura, Jou and Isis sweatdropped and Kaiba groaned, then said: »Of course you trust her, no one doubted that!«

»Yeah,« joined in Aya, »Yami you don't count, we all know that even if Amy turned epic evil you'd still chase after her to get laid.« Yami gasped. »So, the rest of you, please answer; do you trust us or not?«

»Hah, it certainly shows you began to hang out with Natsu again,« commented Kaiba with crossed arms and raised eyebrow. Mai flipped her hair with hand and send him dark glare. »What, Kaiba, just because woman is open with her sexuality you get annoyed? Stop having smartass comments everytime Ayaka says something perverted and be glad she's open to suggestions, if you know what I mean,« blond duelist winked. Kaiba looked away, but a little, barely visible blush appeared on his cheeks. Jounouchi smirked evilly at him, while Yami looked confused, not knowing what Mai meant.

Bakura ignored the situation and asked Aya directly: »Is Amy-san alright? She's not hurt, is she? Since she's with my yami I'm worried a lot …«

»No, don't worry, she's fine … oh, that reminds me, she's sending you greetings and a hug.«

»O-oh …« he said, blushed, but smiled sweetly. When red haired girl noticed Yami glaring daggers at white haired boy, she quickly added: »And she also sends apologies to Jounouchi and Yami-«

»Did she say anything about my credit card?« interrupted her Seto. Ayaka looked at him with indifference.

»I don't know what you're talking about,« she said slowly, then quickly turned her head away to look at others.

»Hey!« yelled Kaiba, vein popping on his head.

»Hon, I promised you to be there for you, to fight alongside you, and I'm not backing down. Risks need to bet aken for the sake of progress. I trust Amaya,« said Mai determinedly. Isis tilted her head and asked: »Asha-san, did Natsu-san said anything about my little brother?«

»Oh, erm … no, but she mentioned she'll take all three of them to the hotel, so it means he's alive and probably well.« Isis put her hand over her heart, relieved. Then she nodded and Aya understood immediately; Isis trusts her and Amy.

Surprisingly, the next person to nod was Shada.

»Can't wait to see that black haired devil again! We can finish that prank on Otogi we've been working on,« winked Jou. Ayaka smiled back at him, then turned to face Seto. He was looking at her with usual scowl.

»… … … fine then!«

»Ooooh, just a look from your girlfriend and your icy heart melts?« teased him Jou as Mai laughed. The blond and brunette started to biker, but Aya didn't pay much attention to Jou's comment. Amy said she had a plan, this was good. Because it's impossible using every bit of magic in their bodies and souls to create undetectable shield for more than a few days. But it doesn't matter … she'll protect her friends even if it'll lead her to death. Let's hope that won't be necessary.

)Xxxx)X(xxxX(

Amaya leaned against warm window and watched the gleaming sky. It was only two hours since they got this room and she was already beginning to feel exhausted from using magic all the time to protect these three … and herself.

She closed her eyes. But she has no other choice! She must, MUST make sure Yami Malik is safe! After all, he holds the key to defeating Nerissa! And the damn witch obviously sensed something in Yami Bakura and Malik too, so she must keep them away from her too. The problem is … she needs to chose words carefully when she'll explain situation to them, because Marik and Yami Bakura are highly attracted to power … they might do something stupid like go find Nerissa and kill her, take the power … and create their own little world.

Malik was another story, but still … he has the ability to turn evil and is very susceptible. Still, he's the best choice of a normal friend she has here right now.

»I wanna be like him, he had a dreadful life
I wanna learn to shoot, I want to use a knife
I like the smell of fear that makes you paralyzed
I am the boy next door who put that fear in your eyes …«

Vein popped on her head. »Hey! Shut that fucking music down! No one wants to hear it!« God! Where do pshycos find such songs? Where was she? Oh yeah … and these … Valerie and Melinda's deaths … no, enough tears! There will be more than enough time to cry after they get rid of Nerissa once and for all!

»They say I'm crazy, falling apart
Do you like the way I murdered your heart?
I'm smart and cagey, I come in the night
If you let me in, you'll give up your life!«

»I SAID TO TURN THIS MUSIC OFF OR AT LEAST LISTEN TO SOMETHING MORE SANE!«

»Fine!« came grumpy response from living room. She sighed and held her head with hands. This constant use of magic was making her more irritable and angry. Rustling sounds.

She opened her eyes to see Malik standing right before her, looking at her weirdly.

»Yes?«

»Are you alright? You seem very easily ticked off.«

She felt her eyes water up.

»Well, why do you think that is, huh? A few hours ago my dream crushed into dust, my two best friends are dead, a crazy bitch with so much power no one can rival her wants to devour me and I'm here, keeping you three safe while you listen to FUCKING SONGS ABOUT MURDERS!«

A tear traced down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away, looking at sky again, refusing to lock eyes with man before her. He stayed quiet for a second, then said quietly, while putting hand on her shoulder soothingly: »Amaya. I wasn't the one listening to Slash's snakepit, and I understand you. Completely.« He waited for her to look at him, which she did, reluctantly. »I spend my whole life locked away in darkness under the world. Never knew the true joys of living. When I finally got out, I couldn't feel free because hatred kept my heart in chains. It was horrible, suffocating …« he paused, gulped and looked away for a moment.

Amaya felt her anger disintegrate. She waited patiently for him to collect his thoughts and continue.

»I can't deny I still don't like Yami and Yuugi. Don't get me wrong, I'd never return to what I was back then, but strong feelings of hatred and revenge take a long time to fade, especially if they build inside one's body for more than ten years. They can't just disappear in thin air in an instant. I am healing, but slowly. One day, one bright day … I'll be free …« his voice trailed away and he started to blink fast, like trying to prevent his eyes to water.

Suddenly, Amy's eyes were dry. She felt deadly calm and determined. Looking at Malik, she finally got the last piece of puzzle she needed to gather her strength and move on.

»Malik, I just realised something. You fought a long and hard battle with yourself, and you won. Though you don't feel victorious just yet, I promise you will someday.«

He looked at her, eyes full of hope. Yes, she thought, this is what it's worth fighting for. For people like Malik, who never knew what hope was but now have a ray of Sun warming their hearts. I promise Malik, I'll fight for people like you, for my friends, to protect the hope, the dream, the will to live. They smiled at each other in understanding.

»Sweat, baby sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought
me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I bet you'll feel nuts …«

Malik sweatdropped as vein popped on her head again. »DON'T LISTEN TO THAT KIND OF MUSIC EITHER!« she screamed. There was a laugh, but music kept playing.

»Amaya,« Malik continued. »Call me Amy, we're friends, aren't we?« she said, feeling a little better than before. He looked taken aback, but smiled warmly. »Amy. You said you're keeping us safe. Why? What's going on? Amy, we need explanations.«

She nodded. »I know, I was just about to-«

»… And then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files"!
Do it now!
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel …«

»OH MY FUCKING GOD! IF YOU DON'T STOP WITH THIS MUSIC I'LL MURDER-« Amaya stopped abruptly. She was halfway down the living room, ready to bite some heads off, when she noticed it was Yami Malik playing the song. He looked at her with evil smirk on his face. Amy immediately changed to sweet, innocent little girl, saying: »Oooh, Marik, I'm so sorry, keep listening to it, I didn't know it was you, please forgive me~«

Yami Bakura looked bewildered as he stared at her. Amaya ignored him. She needed to keep Marik by her side no matter what, so he needs to feel happy here. So he'll stay here. She heard Malik cough slightly behind her back and knew the time to explain part of what's happening has come.

)Xxxx)X(xxxX(

»Poor little angels,« slyly said Nerissa, as she watched two big round black plates, with some liquid that resembled water swirled on them. On surface of one plate was Amaya, talking, while three boys listened to her, on another was Ayaka, talking to Kaiba.

It's been a day since they both stayed in their hotel rooms. Do they really think their pathetic little magic will make then undetectable? Nerissa let out a giggle. But it doesn't matter, now. She needs to find Zeus' lost locket … the locket that will gave her an interesting power; power to affect other people's feelings. She can make lovers hate each other, turn pain in pleasure … but to find Zeus' locket she needs more time alone in Athens.

She needs to keep those two little angels … her fingers touched reflections of Amy and Aya … busy. Them and their little friends … why not try to break the friendship apart? And what better way to do it then with … this.

From her pocket in long black robes, she pulled out a red silk box. It was decorated by golden Chinese laces. As she opened it, dust flew from the cover. Inside, on a dark blue velvet lay seven circular shaped glowing balls. Each gave out a different light; green, scarlet, dark pink, violet, light blue, baby pink and golden. She waved her hand over at them and they flew in circles around her head.

»Yes,« she whispered seductively, »these will do. I'll make sure … their real faces come out, he he he he …« She closed her eyes and began to count:

One; Kujyaku Mai.

All her life she watched people being consumed by greed and she began to hate people for it. But she herself is a very greedy person; she wants friends, all friends to herself, all jewelry for herself, all money, all cards, all fame … SIN: Greed.

The ball with baby pink color began to shine brightly, as Japanese characters that formed name Kujyaku Mai were engraved on it.

Two; Ishtar Isis.

Being locked away, guarding life of ancient Pharaoh, never having life of her own, she wishes she could for once live for herself. I'll make your wish come true. From now on, you'll care for nothing … but yourself. SIN: Vanity.

Violet ball shined brightly as Ishtar Isis was engraved on it.

Three; Pharaoh Atemu.

You don't like to be wrong, you want to be the hero, to prove yourself, only because in reality, you have low self-esteem and are very insecure. Therefore you must feel like you're right and important at all times … SIN: Pride.

Golden ball shined.

Four; Kaiba Seto.

From very young age, you've been tortured by ruthless stepfather to work and study, work and study … after he died, you thought you could have a break, but no; you had to work even harder, protect your family, study more … take a break, you poor soul … SIN: Sloth.

Light blue ball shined.

Five; Jounouchi Katsuya.

Parents divorced, drunken father, sister far away, never enough money … it seems people around you always have better things than you. Always. Especially Kaiba … SIN: Envy.

Green ball shined as Jou's name was engraved on it.

Six; Bakura Ryou.

Host to a evil spirit. People avoided you, even your so-called friends, rarely anyone ofered helpful hand … how dare they? You'd do anything to keep your friends near, but their fear of your evil side drives you mad … SIN: Rage.

Scarlet ball shined.

»And at last … the seventh sin … shared by my two little angels … oh, Amy and Aya, I know you well enough to know you two will simply enjoy this sin, ha ha … ha ha ha ha ha!«

Names Asha Ayaka and Natsu Amaya engraved on dark pink ball that represented Lust.

»Now, with who should I start? Ah, yes, I'll send Vanity to dear Isis and … make sure Aya and Amy stay busy while I search for Zeus' locket … so I'll send Lust to them. Yes, these three are my first victims,« Nerissa contemplated and send violet and dark pink ball away with wave of her hand.

)Xxxx)X(xxxX(

»Ouch! I said one slap!« yelled Amaya, bewildered. Ayaka laughed, then said: »Well, sorry, I just felt like slapping you twice! You deserve it!« Then the two girls hugged tightly.

It was five am in the morning and Aya teleported to Amy's hotel room like promised. They broke their hug and Amy motioned for her friend to sit at kitchen's table.

»I know you can't stay long because you need to keep the undetectable shield intact, so I'll just cut to the point; Nerissa wanted to devour Yami Malik and almost succeeded. However, upon touching him, he said she screamed and he got thrown backwards!« Amaya's eyes shine brightly as she watched Aya's stunned face. »Aya, when me and Melinda were alone at her house, Nerissa often lure us to her basement, where we … helped her with some experiments.«

Aya's eyes narrowed. »What kind of experiments?«

»Magical, of course. Anyway, she told us powers are like invisible forces. They attract … and repel each other.«

Ayaka began to understand. »So you're saying what Nerissa didn't expect is … the power Yami Malik has … repels the power she has?«

»Exactly,« happily said Amaya, leaning back on her chair. »When she explained it to us, she said it's like magnets: attraction and repel. But problem is, I don't know in what way Yami Malik's power is so different from hers.«

Ayaka nodded her head slowly. »It's a start. We have something to defend against Nerissa … you didn't tell him that, have you?«

»Of course not! I only told them that we have magical powers, and story about us and Valerie and Nerissa now wanting to devour everyone.«

Ayaka raised her elegant eyebrow. »Everyone?«

»If they'd knew she only wants us and them, they'd start asking questions and discover that they have some amazing spiritual power … and do something stupid. You should have seen Marik and Yamu Bakura's eyes; they want Nerissa's power, I just know it.«

»I belive that! By the way, do you have any idea why Nerissa is here? In Greece I mean.«

»I have no idea. Do you think it has anything to do with her stupid obsession with ancient powerful artifacts owned by Gods? Everyone knows it's bullshit!«

»Yeah, does she expect Zeus and Hera to walk the Earth like Ra and Obelisk? Honestly, I believe in gods of cards, not real Anubis …«

»How's everyone by the way?«

»A little grumpy but alright. Isis has been acting weird yesterday evening. It's hard to get her out of the bathroom and she keeps flipping her hair and applying make up, it's so weird. Mai tried to talk to her, but she didn't listen to her …«

»Maybe she's nervous about Malik.«

»Maybe …« repeated Ayaka, still not convinced. Then she remembered what was bugging her all along. »Amy, you said you have a plan?«

»Huh? Oh yeah! You take care of our friends, and I'll take care of the pshycos. Your group works on finding Nerissa and what she's up to in Greece, and my group will work on how to destroy Nerissa.«

»Sounds very good. We'll need to keep changing places where we live, though.«

»Well, you have Kaiba to pay for your group and I have … his stolen money.«

As the girls talked, dark pink shining ball was hovering over their heads. It split in two equal balls; one flew towards red haired girl, one towards raven haired. Then they both speeded at their backs with incredible force.

»Ouch dammit!«

»Ouch!«

»What the hell was that?« asked Aya, bewildered as her right shoulder blade was hurting. »Like something hit me hard,« wondered Amy, as she tried to reach her shoulder blade to scratch it. »Oh god, I have to go! I can sense Yami waking up!« Aya quickly said and hugged Amy as a farewell, then disappeared.

Amaya sighed and stood up. This meeting with Aya was too short. She had so many things she wanted to say to her … like where are they going now. What will they do. They worked for Valerie and Melinda all their lives … what now that they're dead? Now they actually-

»Woman, you're up early,« grunted sleepy Yami Bakura, as he came into kitchen, pouring himself some milk from mini fridge. »Hey, careful! Don't drink so much, we need the little food in there for at least two more days!« she scolded him. He looked at her, displeased, then walked away, probably to take a shower.

She turned to look out the window. Just two more days. This non-stop protection magic will make her head explode, she was sure …

»He he, up and sad already? I love seeing your tormented expression woman,« came pleased voice. Amaya turned to face freshly showered and dressed Yami Malik and yell at him, when she felt something peculiar. Like a string being cut inside her head. How … odd … her thoughts … clouded … only … one thing on … her … mind … only one thing on her mind … is how damn sexy that beast of a man looked! Aaaarrrrr wild animal, make me sweat!

Yami Malik just wanted to grab milk carton when he heard something behind him. Turning slowly, his eyes widened as that black haired woman approached him with a very … interesting smile on her lips. »Marik, you're so crazy,« she whispered, as she came so close he could see every singe eyelash she had. »Crazy as a wild … rabid … animal …« she continued to whisper and press her body against him. For a moment, he was confused and didn't know how to react. Then he laughed.

»Woman, if this is some kind of trick to take revenge on me because of my comment earlier, you better not play with me or I'll hurt you.«

To his surprise she smirked and softly put her hands around his neck, whispering: »Oh yes, I misbehaved badly, whip me, my master. Or do you want to put me in strappado and spank me until I get sore? Mmmmm, does it turn you on? C'mon baby, make me wet …«

She jumped and hugged his hips with her leggs making him feel … everything that was under her skirt. He hugged her back and put his hand in her black hair and then pulled hard, so that her head was pulled back as he said: »He he, I won't say no that, woman.« He began licking her neck as she moaned …

»WHAT THE FUCK!« screamed Yami Bakura, bewildered. Before either or them could move, Thief tore Amaya from Marik, who looked disappointed and dragged her by the wrist in the broom closet, locking her in it.

»Stay there until you cool down! Are you fucking crazy?« he shouted through the door. »But babeee,« she pleaded seductively, »don't be such a party killer, you three brought sexy back and expect me not to be affected by it? Have you seen Malik's ass? And Yami Malik's strong arms? I want him to ride me-«

»SHUT THE FUCK UP! MALIK, WAKE UP! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!«

Ayaka sighed as she was walking to the bathroom. Isis is again acting strangely today. She only woke up and she's immediately concerned about her hair. What has gotten into her?

»Ooops, sorry Aya, here, go first,« said Jounouchi, stepping aside to let her in bathroom first. »Oh no, don't worry, I was just about to comb my hair, you go first, Jou.« »Thanks I'll be just a minute, I lost my towel and was wondering if I can use Kaiba's, I'll be right out …«

But Ayaka didn't hear him. In fact, she looked very weird, red bangs were covering her eyes and she stood there, silent and unmoving.

»A-Aya? Is everything okay?« he asked, worried. Suddenly, her lips curled in a wolfish smile. »It will be … once I feel you inside of me …«

»WHAT?« he yelled, completely shocked as blush appeared on his face. »Aya, what the-« Before he could finish, Ayaka lunged at him, grabbed his white and blue T-shirt … and ripped it apart, revealing his strong, bare chest.

»Oh, how inviting … how delicious …« she purred, her grey eyes hungrily tracing down his body... then she lowered and licked between his chest. He shivered and almost let out a moan, then violently shook his head.

»Oh my god! You ripped … you just ripped it apart …« he stuttered, still in shock. Her eyes shoot up at him. »Jounouchi, fill me up, c'mon, let's get wild, you and me …«

»Ayaka! What are you saying? What's going on? What about Kaiba and Mai?« Her hands traced all around his stomach and she pushed him against the wall, pressing herself on him.

»Mai? I don't swing that way, but I have nothing against Kaiba joining us …« She gave him a naughty smile and began to gently caress his thighs. This time he really moaned, unable to hold himself back.

»That's not what I meant!« he screamed, trying to get away from her, but she kept her arms wrapped around his waist. »Do you want me to … make you scream first?« she whispered and lowered her hand … to unzip his jeans.

»KAIBA HEEEEEELP! HELP! RAPE! HEEEELP!«
