Pyra: Say the disclaimer, Yami.

Yami: No. And don't try to trick me this time. It won't work.

Pyra: (sigh) Fine. I'll just hafta replace you...-

Yami: YEAH!!!!!

Pyra - NOT! I like you here and so do the fans, but I will ADD someone, to keep you company.

"You SURE you didn't see him?" Joey asked Tristan for probably the billionth time.

"I'M SURE!!"

"But I -"

"Look!! I didn't see anything and I'm willing to bet you didn't either!!" Tristan yelled, getting ticked off.

"Tristan, you don't have to come, but I'm going to see what he's up to."

"He who?"

"He Bakura!!!" Joey fumed.

"Joey, he's not here!" Tristan tried to rationalize with him. No use.

"I'M GOING AND THAT'S THAT!!!!!!!" Joey shouted, and stormed off. Tristan didn't bother to follow him. Let him do what he wants, Tristan thought. So he continued down the sidewalk.



Joey wandered down through the park, unsure of his direction. Okay, where are you, Ryou? He said to himself silently. -

- and a hand came over his mouth. Joey's eyes widened in surprise and he looked back. At first he made the mistake of thinking his captor to be Ryou, but he soon realized it to be none other than Yami Bakura.

As tears streamed down Yami's face, he tried desperately to fight the intangible - THING - that kept him from loving (NOT YAIO) his aibou. What was it? What?

"Yami." Yami turned about to see Joey.

"Joey? What are you doing here?" Yami asked.

"I was looking for Yugi. I guess I found him." Why was his voice so....flat?

"Hm. You better leave now, I have to take care of him and you'll distract me." Yami's voicee was bitter.

"Maybe." Joey crept closer and something shining flashed into his hand. Yami didn't notice.

"Joey, sorry to be rude and all, but you need to -" He was cut short when the egyptian knife that Joey had been holding sunk down right in-between his shoulder-blades. Joey twisted the knife and Yami gasped as everything went black.

Pyra: Will Yugi get better? Why is Joey acting the way he is? And is Joey going to kill -

Joey: I AM NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pyra: Joey, you're, um, not really a comment-person.

Joey: Oh. (leaves)

Yami:... Joey's trying to kill me? And to think I even bothered to save his soul!!!

Pyra: Oh hush up! You'll take that back later on.

Ryou: I think I know why Joey's doing that, it's because -

Pyra: DON'T TELL THEM!!!!!!!!

Ryou: (whimpering) oh, okay,

Pyra: I'm sorry, Ryou.

Ryou: It's okay.

Pyra: Yami, say the line _

Yami: NO!

Pyra: Come on! Ryou read the disclaimer!!

Yami: Fine. Please R&R. Especially flames.

Pyra: HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yami: (sigh) okay, please DON'T flame unless you really need to.

Pyra: THANK you. See you all next chapter! ^_^
