Whoo, what a week. Let's get started on chapter eight, which could be counted as ch.seven, part two.

Sorry 7 was so short, but I was being impatient.

Also, i don't really know if deserts get cold at night...I think they do, but if I'm wrong, then oh-well.

Also, I cuaght my own mistake.See, the four of them were transported at night. they wake up in broad daylight. Let's just say that thet were out for awhile, with the exception of Anzu.

~~~*~~~

Jou trudged along the dark desert, lost, hopeless. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't care. He figured that eventually he'd get out of the desert if he kept walking.

Or that could be starvation talking.

Sure, he'd had an apple before that creature sent him here, but that had been hours ago.He didn't even know how long he'd been out before.

He just kept walking, dazed. He felt like he was just standing there, except his feet kept moving.

~~~*~~~

Yami was cursing loudly. It was bitter cold now that the sun had set, and he was very angry about this. All he wanted was to get back to Domino City so he could get some real sleep. He was terribly exuasted, even so that if he so much as sat down, he feared he would fall asleep.

It was getting a bit warmer as he approached the little dots of green off in the horizon.

~~~*~~~

Ryou luaghed and pushed Anzu off him. "Silly girl. My name is Dragon, I am a ruthless sorcerer!I don't know what you're talking about." he said.

Anzu took a few steps back as Ryou opened the doors to what seemed to be his closet."Now, Helen, I'm going to have to kill you." he lifted a thin, perfectly white sword out and pointed the tip at Anzu. "You see before you the Sword of Angels. It was made for that brat Derek, but once I heard of the great powers it holds, I just had to have it." Ryou said, smiling to himself.

Anzu was terrified. All this time, she'd thought that no harm would come of any of them, since this was all just a fantasy book. But she was suddenly having second thoughts.

~~~*~~~

Yugi was asleep, up against a large tree. He twitched abit in his sleep, rolled over, and calmed down.

He woke up when he heard rustling.

Yugi sat up and rubbed his eyes, and looked for the source of the sound. Only, there wasn't a source.

He gasped when he felt the air get hotter all of a sudden. "What the..." he stood up and tried to figure out what was going on.

Then something rustled again.This time, it came from behind Yugi, so he spun around.

And coming through the bushes was a very tattered Jounouchi.

~~~*~~~

Jou sat on a log next to Yugi. The sun had risen about an hour or two ago, and Jou had explained his whole ordeal.

"It was so weird.." he whispered. "I woke up in the desert, and it was really hot..." he yawned. Yugi smiled at him. "This is great, Jou. Now all we have to do is wait for Yami." he said. Jou snorted--He was fast asleep.

~~~*~~~

Yami had been walking for so long, he hardly noticed the change of temperature once the sun rose. He saw a forest off in the distance, and felt his aibou's presence there.

All he had to do was keep walking.Before. he'd been so happy that Yugi had talked to him, now that seemed like ages ago.

He grinned sleepily to himself as the forest grew closer.

~~~*~~~

Anzu tried to keep herself calm as Ryou got closer with the Sword. She hoped someone would come to her rescue. Ryou grinned. "Looks like this is the end of the line for you, little girl." he said.

~~~*~~~*WARNING!*~~~*~~~
Okay, I know I promised I wouldn't kill anyone.But think of it this way. I'm killing Helen, not Anzu. Now, Ryou is about to (unwillingly) run her through. If you don't like that, then just skip down to the divider, or this thing: ~~~*~~~
~~~*~~~*Here we go!*~~~*~~~

Ryou's eyes flashed, and he seemed to struggle with himself for a second.

Anzu watched him carefully.

Ryou gritt his teeth, and brought his arm back."See you in Hell, bitch!!" he then shoved the Sword through Anzu's middle.

Anzu gasped. The pain was unbearable, and she could feel blood pouring out of the deep wound.

Ryou looked alittle surprised."Oh..What's going on?Anzu!!" he pulled the Sword out, and seemed to be back to his old self.

Another person appeared behind Ryou. "You were very helpful, little boy. Now, I'm going to have to kill you as well." he said.

Anzu fell to the ground and watched as the tall, dark man took the Sword from Ryou, and was about to run him through, too.

She gasped as her last breathes escaped her.

~~~*~~~

Anzu woke up in the empty classroom."What, is this Hell or something?(A/N:A little joke.)" she said. She stood up, and was releaved to notice that she was wearing normal clothes.She grinned suspected that she had just fallen asleep during class, and had had a very strange dream.

She stopped, though, when she walked out of the room.Her stomach hurt, like someone had punched her there.

She remembered that in her dream, she'd been run through with a sword. She gasped.

"Oh no...I've gotten out of the book becuase he killed my charater...but the others ares till in there!!" she paniced and decided to find Jou's book. It was laying on his desk, along with Yugi's puzzle on his. She ignored the puzzle for the time being and picked up the book.

'Lesse...' she thought. 'How did they get in?Oh yeah, they read this...' she picked up the parchment Yami had translated.She tried to find some hint or clue as to gt her friends out, but there wasn't anything there.She moaned.

Then, Anzu looked over at the Millenium Puzzle. "Maybe..." she pondered outloud, "I can get Yami out by using that thing." she said. She poked it cuastiosly, and it tipped over.She blinked and expected Yami to come out, pissed about someone bothering him.

But Anzu had no such luck.

She blew out a long, exasperated breath, and decided to take the old book adn the puzzle home with her so she could figure all this out.

~~~*~~~
