chapter the fourth
"Look,the painting is just great!!"Mai said."See.You can do great if you just try a little!!"Rex smiled at the picture."It looks just like a log.Boy,you helped me grandly!!"He hugged the pic,getting brown paint all over him. "How about we paint something a little harder this time?"Mai asked.Rex nodded."OK."He said. "Let's do.........A dog!!"Mai gushed."OK!"Rex said."A boy dog,or a girl dog?" Mai sneered."It doesn't matter;your not painting the...parts anyway." "Yeah,but boy dogs wear blue collers,and girl dogs wear pink collers." "Well,how about it's a stray dog,who deosn't own a coller?" "OK,sounds good to me." "Ok,"Mai said."You know what to do first.Brush a light layer of water over the paper." Rex did it.A little messily,but he did it. "OK.Now,Paint an outline of a dog."Rex started,but it dripped."can you help me?"He asked in a baby voice.Mai got another paper,brushed water over it,and drew the outline of a perfect dog. "Nice."Rex said."Now,what do I do?" "OK.Just color whatever color you want your dog to be in the lines." Rex dabbed purple on the brush and colored the dog purple. "Why in the world is the dog purple?"Mai asked,strangly. "Well,thats what color I wanted."Rex replied.Mai nodded."Now,make little black dots with the black paint for eyes." Rex dabbed black paint,but it spread.Over the dog's whole face. "Oops."Rex said."Oh,no.Now its ruined!!!!" "How cute."Mai said."You can't paint." "Well,no duh!!"Rex knocked the painting into some mud."I don't want to paint.I hate paint.It's bright,colorful and sickening.You know,I never wanna see paint again!!" "You can't just get mad and give up!!"Mai said. "I just did."Replied Rex. Mai clenched her fists and walked off."WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?!"She asked through clenched teeth.Rex got sad."I'm soooooooooo sad."He said."Sssssssspoooooooooooosooooooooosssssoooooooo sadddddddddddddddd."
"Have you seen this guy?"Asked Yugi,holding a picture of himself up to another elderly woman."Why,yes,dear.He's right in front of me."Yugi stared all around him."I don't see anybody in front of you,ma'm."The lady laughed and walked off. Yugi was puzzled.That was the 35th person who did that.Then,it hit him.There was an invisible guy,only visible to old people!!(Yugi was still drunk) "I've gotta find this scoundrel and put him between bars!!!"He walked up to another lady."Hello,little boy."She said."Yeah.Hi."Yugi replied."I was wonderin if you've seen this no good person around here.He murdered a helpless boy."The old lady looked at Yugi."I;ve got to call the police!!"She said,and dialed the number."A murderer's here!Come quick!!"She shouted.She hung up the phone."Good.We'll get that invisible foe.Thanks,lady."Police sirens wailed."Well,I'd better be going."Yugi said.He began to walk off."He's getting away!!!"The lady shouted."Get him,Get him!!!"Policeman ran down Yugi and cuffed him."Whats this?"Yugi asked,right in a police's face. "I smell alchohal!!"One shouted."He did while he was drunk!Yugi Motou,you're under arrest for the murder of Joey Prescot Wheeler!!"
"Who was it?"Asked Bakora."Who?"Bones looked at the ground."It was....It was....."Bakora got irritated."Tell me,or I'll turn you into the police!!"He threatened,brandishing a cell phone."OK,OK,I'll tell you."Bones stammered."Or,I'll give you clues.Yeah,clues.You can try to guess them,if you want."Mokuba nodded."I love guessing games.Let's go!!" Bones thought long and hard."Well,first,he had blond hair.Then,he likes to steal.Then,he used to go out with Mai.Now thats all I'm saying." The only person Bakora,Mokuba or Kaiba could think of was Bandit Keith,but he didn't steal.Or did he? "Is it Bandit Keith?"Asked Mokuba.Bones shrugged."What do you mean?" "I mean that I don't know.The dude that called me one night gave me those things.I was hoping YOU would figure it out." "Who called you that time?"Asked Kaiba,casually. "I don't know.It was a prank call." Kaiba scooted close to Bakora."Either he's telling white lies,or we better stalk that Bandit Keith." Bakora nodded."And you aren't lying?"Bones shook his head."Honest I'm not."He said. Mokuba took a cowboy rope out of his pocket."Let's tie him up and check out bandit Keith.If he's lying,we hurt and torture him.If he's not,we let him go." Mokuba whistled,and Princess and Mocha appeared.Mokuba tied up Bones good and tight and then tied him to the horse.He got on the baby."C'mon,Seto and Bakora."He said."Let's go look at bandit Keith."
"Oh,no!!"Rex wailed.Red and pink paint splashed all over his vest."Now I'll have to wash it!!"He took off the vest and went to dip it in the stream,but it got caught on a branch.The branch ripped it very long. "Mai!!"He yelled."Mai!My vest is ripped!There must be something we can do about this!!" He tore at his long,thick hair.Mai grabbed the shirt."Oh my....."She said. "What?"Asked Rex."Whats wrong?Can't you fix it?You're a girl!You have to know how!!" "Sorry,but it's not along a seam.Theres no way we can sew it." Rex was outreaged."Isn't it a federal law that women must know how to sew correct?" "I;m afraid it's not."Mai said,and looked down at a large shopping mall in Kaiba's hometown.She got a strange look on her face."Whats wrong wit chu?"Asked Rex."Mu shirt--my vest--they're ruined!!" "Not for long."Mai said,looking at Rex then looking at the mall."We can go shopping." Rex thought that he was going to roll over and die."Shop?"He asked."Shop?I hate shopping!!It's all about shoes,watches,hats,clothes,pants,shoes,and more hats!!Its horrible!!" Mai was heartbroken."We're going to go shopping and you are going to like it,understand?"She asked.Rex pulled down her mini skirt.She blushed and pulled it up. "My green thongs are none of your buisness!!"She said. Rex laughed."They're funny."He said.Mai grabbed his arm and started to drag him. "Where are you taking me?"He asked."You horrid fiend!!"She drug him all the way into the shopping mall. "Now stand up and act your age."Mai said."We have to get to all these shops!!"She pulled Rex to window to a store called The Men's wearhouse. "Lets go in here!!"She said."I bet we can find you some really cute clothes!!"She grabbed Rex's arm and pulled him to a rack of very sophisticated suits.She pulled out a brown one."Oh,look!!"She said. "It looks like you!Try it on!!"She gave him the suit and shoved him into a dressing room. When Rex came out,everyone laughed."Ha!!"One girl said."Rex Raptor looks hideous!You should be ashamed of him!!" Rex ran back into the room and shut the door.A few minutes later he came out with his regular clothes back on."I don't like shopping."He said.But Mai was already across the mall,in a junior size store.She was trying on skin tight dresses and skirts. "Oh,I like that one."Said Rex when she put on a very very short dress.So did everyone else. Even the shop clerk.Mai threw it in a basket.She walked over to some shoes and bought some with live goldfish in the back like Madonna's.She threw three pairs of bell bottems in that were 3 sizes too small,hats she didn't need,makeup,and a pet dog. She walked up to the cash regester,and decided she didn't want the dog so she let it away. "That comes to 345 dollers and 96 cents."Said the shop clerk."Oh no!!"Mai said."I only have 50 dollers!!Oh,Rex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Rex was looking at a maniquin.He walked over."What do you want?"He asked."That was a beautiful work of art!!" "I need 295.96."She said to Rex.Rex threw her a wallet and walked back over to the manequin.In the wallet was over 3 thousand dollers!!Rex was very rich,but not as rich as Kaiba. She deducted the proper amount,and gave the wallet back to Rex.He handed the bag to Mai.She walked away from the desk,and looked around.Her eyes fell on a massage shop.(Massage as in back rub) "Oh,I want one of those!!"She said,pulling Rex away from the manaquin. She pulled him over to the shop."We'll take a hottub bath,and one massage for each of us!!!"Mai said to the sales clerk.She handed him her bag to store. She grabbed a bathing suit she had just bought,and rented one for Rex.She ran to the hottub. "I don't get the point of this!!"Rex said."It's just a dumb old bath.We could take one in a sleazy hotel,for the love of Pete!!!" Mai ignored him. "I'm leaving."Rex said."I'm going to another store.I'll meet you back here in......"He looked at his watch--"1 hour." Mai nodded and Rex ran out.First,he went into a video game store and bought 13 video games,a gameboy advance,7 playstations,and a game informer magazine.Him and Mai both had trouble managing money.By the time Rex was finished shopping at that shop,936 dollers were down the drain.He decided,though the 1 hour wasn't up--That he'd go get Mai and they could go to the food court for something to eat.He was about to do this when he caught sight of something.It was a petting zoo,with many animals.One stupid little boy had just gotten himself bitten by a nanny goat.Rex decided to walk over and see what was over there.He saw pigs,alpachas,llamas,Horses,ponies,chickens,rabbits,ferrets,and other things.He grabbed a baby ferret,which decided it would make lunch with his finger."Yeow!!"He shouted,and dropped it into the cage.Then,Rex saw something.It was a Water Moccasin,the deadly snake.This ones fangs and venom had been removed,so it was harmless.Rex remembered how Mai hated snakes.He shifted his sacks he was carriying and asked the guy how much he wanted for the snake.The guy told him about 400 dollers,so he bought it and took it with him to the Hot Tub Resort.He looked in the window.Mai was sitting in the hottub.Rex slowly stalked over there and lowered the snake into the water.Mai hadn't seen him.He crouched down below and waited. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"Shouted Mai."THERES A SNAKE IN MY BATHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" She jumped up extra fast,slinging water all over Rex's back.Rex looked over the side of the tub,and saw the snake was wrapped around Mai's arm.She tugged and pulled at it.Rex crawled over to the door and pretended to enter casually. "So,Mai,whats up?"He asked. "THERES A SNAKE ON ME!iT WAS IN MY BATH!!IM SOOING FOR THIS!!"Rex ran over anf grabbed the fat snake.He threw it across the room.Mai caught sight of his bags."Let me see you recipts."She said,wanting to see how much money he had spent.Rex,not thinking anything about it,handed it to them.She read them all with no reaction--until she came to the last one. "What?"She asked.Rex was suprised.What was wrong? "Huh?"Asked Rex. "AUSTRAILIAN WATER MOCCASIN!!!"Mai screeched,shoving the last reciept in Rex's face.He read it.Printed in blue ink was: AUSTRAILIAN WATER MOCCASIN.400 DOLLERS.
"Thanks for bailing me out."Yugi said.He was no longer drunk."How did you come up with all that money?We're both very poor."Tea looked at him."Oh,I went to Kaiba's house.He wasn't home,so I stole a couple hundred.I was going to borrow it,and I'm sure he won't mind." Yugi was amazed."All that money?Wow."He was kinda mad she did that to Kaiba."I'll call him later to tell him."She said."Like I said,I'm sure he won't mind."
"WHAT?"Kaiba shouted into the phone."Seven hundred dollers?"He was so mad,he could feel the steam rising from his ears."Seven hundered is almost a thousand!We could have invented 3 new ink cartridges with that money!And besides,where did you find my secret money hideaway?" Tea laughed."Kaiba,it's under your see through fruit bowl."Kaiba's face went red."Well,I want the money back.Yugi can go back in to jail,for the love of it!!" He pounded a tree stump. "Seto,whats wrong?"Asked Mokuba.He could tell Kaiba was very,very angry. "Nothing,Mokuba."Kaiba said through gritted teeth,trying to keep from yelling."Yeah,right."Mokuba said. "SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BRAT!!"Kaiba shouted,his fists clenched.Mokuba began to bawl."Oh,no...."Kaiba said."Tea,you better pay me back.I gotta get off the phone."Kaiba hung up. "Aw,Mokuba,don't cry......"Kaiba said.Mokuba continued."You know,some times big brothers have to do things that they don't want to be bothered,thats all."Mokuba began to cry louder. "And sometimes,big brothers get mean!!!"Kaiba pulled back his hand to slap Mokuba. Mokuba cried louder."Oh,god....."Kaiba said to Bones.Bones started to cry,too.He was tired of being tied up. "Both of you,shut up!"Said Kaiba,shoving a bubblegum lollipop into Mokuba's fat hand and socking Bones.Mokuba stopped crying,and so did Bones.Finally,it was quiet.Mokuba bit the lolli three times,and it was gone."Yummy!!"Mokuba said."So.....What was wrong?" Kaiba supressed anger."Well....That girl,Tea,stole seven hundered dollers." "So?700 dollers is nothing.Its not even a thousand." Kaiba relized that."Well,its still strealing,and I still want her to pay me back to be mean." Bones awoke from his faint,and frowned.He wanted to be free!!" "Can we go check out Bandit Keith?So I can be free?"Mokuba nodded,but thought of something. "Bones didn't know who it was that called him,or if its bandit keith.In those standards,how could we hurt him if it wasn't bandit,when he didn't say it was in the first place?" Bones smiled."He's right,Kaiba!Untie me now!!" Kaiba thought.Mokuba was right.He thought pretty good for an eight year old. "Ok."Kaiba said,and untied the ropes."Your free.Are you happy now?"Bones nodded."But we should still talk Keith to make sure he didn't kill Joey.All the clues except one point to him." Mokuba nodded and got on the baby horse.Kaiba and Bones got on Princess.
"The radio station!!"Shouted Rex."We're here!Now,we can get my job back!"He jumped,and spun."MAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,What a happy day!!!!!"Shouted Rex. Mai nodded."Um,yes.....yes....it is....."She wanted her job back too!She loved being a DJ!!But If she told Rex,and she got the job,he'd be really steamed. "I know!"Mai siad."We can do a show together!!"She said."Like Jeff and Anna on Mix 102.9!!" Rex was puzzled."But Why?" "Because I loved being a DJ!!"Mai replied.Rex thought.Maybe it could be fun. "OK.'He said."Let's try it.But you know we have to sing a solo audition first,and then try out our DJ crap at our job interveiw!!" Mai thought about that.She was a OK singer,but Rex was excellent.He could make anything sound good. "I wonder what song we can do."Mai said.Rex thought."How about Peaches and Cream?" "No."Mai said."It has to have boy and girl parts"Rex thought."I've never thought about girl parts.I'm a boy." Mai thought somore."I know!!"She said all the sudden."The song,'What would you do!!'!!"It has alot of both parts! "Genius!!"Rex said,smiling his crazy way.He walked through the door. "HELLLLLLLOOOO EVERYBODY CUZ RRRRRREEEEX RRRRRRAPTOR'S BACK!!!"They were suprised."Rex Raptor!!You're alive!!!"He nodded."It takes more than that to get ridda me!!I'm here to audition with this girl so we can have our job back.But we wanna do a show together,so step aside.I'm here to see the manager!"He shoved two emplyees aside and waltzed up to the manager."I'm here to audition for my job back."He said.
"He was sooooooo mad."Yugi said to himself."Tea can be so stupid at times.Come to my house and borrow 700 dollers and see what happens to you."He chuckled to himself."Now she has to work in mc.Donalds until she can pay Kaiba back." Yugi sat down on a park bench next to an old woman with her poodle."Hello."Yugi said gleefully."My names Yugi Motou!!"The old lady looked up from her book."Yes,hi....."She said,and brought her eyes back down."Boy,thats a pretty dog.It has a pom-pom tail." The lady looked up."Yes,It's very nice."Yugi smiled at her.She brought her eyes back down and shook her head."You know what?"Asked Yugi."What?"The lady asked irritated. "I once had a dog." "Thats nice." Yugi thought this was the start of a great friendship. "His name was Porky."Yugi smiled at the lady.She slammed her book shut,grabbed her dog's leash,and walked away."Wait!"Yugi said,holding up a hand after her. "I don't know your name,friend!!" "Good!!"The lady replied,and walked out of sight.Yugi's best friend was dead,and his others were gone.He had no friends.His eyes fell on a bum on the side of the road.He was by trash cans.Yugi relized the old woman,who was apparently rich,had left her lunchbag.He picked it up."Here Mr."Yugi said,handing it to the bum.The bum looked up.He looked familier.Very familier. It was Weevil Underwood!!Yugi very quickly jerked the lunch bag away."Weevil!!"He said."What happened to you?" Weevil croaked and reached for the lunch bag,which Yugi threw to dogs. "I....lost.....everything!!!!!!!!!!!"He shouted.Yugi giggled."But...how?"He said,amused by Weevil's misfortune. "I................tripped and lost my pants on public TV.Everyone saw how fond I was of Between The Lions,And I was ruined."Weevil bust into sobs.Yugi decided that Weevil was crazy and moved on.There were several other bums,but they all have evil looking eyes.Like clowns.Yugi shuddered and walked to the Mc.Donalds Tea worled at."Hey,Tea."He said."What up?" Tea looked misrable."Nothing.My face is greasy,my hands are chafed,my hair is smelly,and I look like crap." Yugi saw this was true."How about you just use your vacation savings and give them to Kaiba?"Yugi suggested.Tea's eyes became wild."You know,I was thinking about using my savings.But not to give to Kaiba.You see,me and you are flying all the way to England,and never coming back.Maybe we'll see Bakora's family." Yugi backed up."Uhhhhhh....We are?"He asked.Tea nodded."You'll go with me won't you?"Asked tea,reaching for Yugi."Won't you?"Yugi decided this was awfully creepy."Alright,alright.I'll go with you." Tea returned to normal."Well,thats good,cuz the flight leaves tomarrow.We'll never come back." Yugi was sad.
"I heard Rex Raptor was at your hometown,guys!"Bakora shouted,bursting onto the scene."Some girls were talking about it."Kaiba and Mokuba and Bones's faces brightened. "Let's go find him!!"Said Mokuba."He's my bestest friend!!"Kaiba looked down at Mokuba."Sorry,buddy,but we have to stalk Keith,remember?"Mokuba saddened."I'll die if we don't find Rex.I'll never go with you!Never!!"Bones rolled his eyes."There's really nothing to lose."He said.Kaiba glared at him. "I think we should."Said Bakora."I mean,we'll get arrested for stalking if we're caught,anyway." That was something to think about.Sometimes,Kaiba thought Bakora ruined all the fun. "Ok,Ok."Kaiba said."We'll get him,then come back.That is,if he wants to come with us." Mokuba looked up."How about we just....go home when we get there?It's not our job to investigate murders anyhow."Mokuba was right."Yeah."Kaiba said."Let's go home when we get there."Bakora nodded."Well,I live around here."He said."I'll go with you guys home,then walk back to my place when you get there."Kaiba nodded."OK,so lets go.Bones,how about you go ride the horse with MOkuba?"He nodded and got on.The horse was growing up.It was very strong. Kaiba made him and Bakora's horse go.It was almost daytime."I'm tired."Declared Bakora."Do we have to do it all in one night?Why?" "Its a long story." "I am English.I like long stories." "Well,It all started with Mokuba...." Hey,fellas,doen't this sound familier?" Kaiba nodded."We don't need to rest at all.You can just sleep on there if you want."Bakora shook his head."I'll wait till we get home.Oh,and I'm hungrey."
They were getting ready to sing. "I,2,3 GO!!"Shouted the dirtector.Rex Raptor began his song and dance ritual.Mai sat down,waiting for her turn.She looked at Rex.His singing was wonderful!!It was Virbrato,and sounded alot like Smash Mouth.His dancing was very cool and made him look cute.She stared and stared,and when her part came,she began to sing.It was....HORRIBLE!!!!! Rex looked at her in amasement."Mai,what are you doing?"He mouthed.She didn't relize her singing was so bad,and didn't stop.When Rex's part came,he started kinda awkwardly,but got right back on.He was a bit suprised that Mai sang so badly,because he had heard her before and it was excellent.Mai's part came again.Rex crossed his fingers and hoped for her singing to be better.It wasn't.Her singing sure wasn't no beautiful thing.It was full of cracks and wavers.Finally,Rex slid on his knees in front of Mai."STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He shouted."No,no no!!!Its all wrong!!You can't sing worth-worth crap!!!"Mai looked down at him,startled.She hung her head. "You're right,you're very right.I sing so badly....."Her voice trailed off. "Nuh uh!I heard you before on the radio and it was pretty." "I used a Christina Agulara CD."She confessed.Rex's eyes widened even more than they natrally are."Whoa......"Rex said."Bakc me up here.If you can't sing,why in god's name did you want to audition with me?You knew it would ruin my chances of being picked!!!"Rex was getting angrier and angrier by the second."You know?You're worse than that Bakora guy!!" Rex stomped out of the radio station.He was steaming mad.Mai decided to stay inside until he cooled off.
"Please.....let me....commmmeeee......."Weevil said."I can find a fortune there.....and prospure.....surly someone lokes my dueling talents?"Yugi shook his head.He was waiting for Tea to come out of the electronics shop.He stopped when he saw her motioning for him to come quick.He rushed over.Tea was stading in front of a TV.On it was Rex Raptor staring in awe as Mai Valentine sung her audition.It was horrible.Yugi began to laugh as Rex's part started up again.His voice made on little waver because of suprise,but he got right back on track and began to sing wonderfully. Mai's part came again and Yugi cracked up.There was about a second where her voice just--stopped.When she started again,she sounded like an infant crying.All the sudden,Rex scooted out in front of her and yelled 'stop.'The music stopped and Rex ran outside.By the time this had happened,Tea and Yugi were cracking up. Yugi dialed Kaiba's number. "Hello?"Asked Kaiba. "Its me,Yugi."Yugi said."Did you hear what happened about Rex and Mai?" "No.Fill me in because we're going home right now." "Well,they got up there to do audition,and Mai sounded terrible." Kaiba laughed."Ha ha."He said. "Well,me and Tea are going to....England this afternoon."He said. "What?"Asked Kaiba.Yugi could hear him talking to Bakora.When he got back on,there was frightening news."But Yugi,Bakora says that the airline to England crashes like....all the time!!Bad pilot,I guess."Yugi heard Bones and Mokuba fighting in the background. "Oh."Yugi said."But Tea is rather insistant on going.I guess i'll see you around." Yugi hung up the phone."Tea."He said."Kaiba says that the airline to England crashes all the time due to a bad pilot!!If we're on a plane that crashes......"His voice trailed off. "Don't worry."Tea said."We'll be fine."She walked toward a hotdog stand.Yugi could just hear that Weevil was begging a rich lady for money.
"NO NO NO!!!!"Mokuba said."Its mine!!!Seto,tell this boney brute that the lolli belongs to me!!!"He made a desperate attempt to jerk the lolli from Bones's hands. "Well,I'm hungrey!!"Bones said."Its mine!!Right,Bakora?"Bakora and Kaiba exchanged glances. "Kaiba grabbed the lolllipop from Them Both and handed it to Mokuba.Mokuba was happy,and put it in his mouth.Mokuba thought it tasted so good,he bragged to Bones that he had one and Bones didn't.Bakora pullled out a candy bar and gave it to Bones.Mokuba dropped the lolli. "Gimme that!!"He said,and grabbed it.They began to tug it back and fourth. "Bakoo gave it to me!!!"Bones shouted."Well,I want it!!"Said Mokuba. "Jesus Christ,Bones,your fighting with an eight year old!!"Bakora said."He started it!!"Shouted Bones,and ripped it from Mokuba.The impact caused Mokuba to roll off the horse and hit the ground.He began to wail."My cannnddyyyyyyyyy......."He cryed.Kaiba didn't know what to do. "Umm/....Mokuba,you...are very.....nice?"Mokuba cried louder."Gimme a candy,or i'll cry!!!"Bakora ripped the candy bar from Bones.Bones started to cry.
"I can't take it anymore!!"He shouted."You all treat me like....I;m ugly or something!!"Kaiba snickered. Bones was so mad,he climbed up a tree.Then,he jumped from tree to tree deep into the forest."Bones,wait!!"Kaiba shouted.But Bones kept jumping."Stay here!!"Kaiba ordered,and he jumped on Princess.He rode after Bones. Mokuba was happily chewing on the candy bar.There was chocolate on his white bandana.don't eat so messily.Bakora ordered."Those clothes must last you until we get home--and that may be a while."Mokuba pouted ."You order me around too much."He said."And your not Seto.Your not even family."Bakora wanted to strangle the child. "Will you shut up?"Asked Bakora."Your stupid brother went to find that ugly old skeleton guy." "My brother's not stupid!!How about you say that to my face?"Bakora leaned close to Mokuba."Your Brother's stupid."Mokuba's rage grew.He pounced on Bakora with a sharp,pointy stick grasped in his small hand."I'll stab you!!"He called."Right in the eye!!"Bakora wretled Mokuba's arms away.He grabbed Mokuba's stick and plunged it toward him.Mokuba got up as fast as he could,and without thinking twice,hopped on Mocha,the horse.He kicked the horse,who got up and galloped off at breakneck speed."Come back here and fight like an Englishman!!"Bakora spat.He got up and dusted himself off.This was a fine mess. Kaiba was on his way be when he saw Mokuba and Mocha coming toward him."What the?!"He asked. "Bakora's on a murdering rampage!!"Mokuba shouted,almost running into Princess.Kaiba laughed."I'll bet you started it,huh?"Mokuba looked at the ground."Seto,thats not the point.The point is,we have to leave Bakora forever."Kaiba rolled his eyes and urged Princess to walk."Why are we going back?"Mokuba asked."He's a killer--a ruthless killer."Kaiba turned around."Bakora?You've got to be kidding.He faints at the sight of ketchup,for crying out loud."Kaiba walked forward,leaving Mokuba alone.He quickly followed.Bakora was laying on the ground.His eyes were wide. "Uh....Bakora?"Kaiba said.Bakora didn't answer.He layed on the ground.Kaiba looked at his chest.It was moving up and down.Kaiba plopped off Princess,and kneeled down beside Bakora."What the he** is wrong?"Kaiba asked.Bakora sat up.He held out his arm.There was a long,deep gash.
"You're so dumb."Rex said."Why did you want to make me look so foolish?It's probably on TVs all across the nation,now.I was better off with Kaiba." Mai was hurt."I just wanted to do a partner show with you!"She said."I thought if maybe I watched you,I could learn too.I thought you could teach me." That gave Mai an idea.What if he could each her? "Hey!!"She said.Rex looked up and crushed a soda can."What?"He asked. "Maybe you could give me singing lessons!!"Rex smiled and laughed."Yeah,right.Like I can teach YOU to sing.Its worse than 75 alley cats in mating season." Mai grunted."You could try.I gave you painting lessons!You owe me!"Rex was silent."I guess maybe you could learn to sing--at a maximum--of 3 alley cats in mating season."He grumbled,finally."But don't blame me if you can't learn.I was born with the gift."Rex's mad face returned to normal.His eyes went back wide and pinpointed. "OK."He said."We can use that microphone I found in the trash behind the studio."He said.He grabbed it and gave it to Mai. "Sing a "D" for me."He said.She sang it.It was cracky and wavy.He tried to fingure out what they needed to fix."Sing it again."He ordered.She reapeated it,louder.It was still ugly sounding. "OK."he said."I think I know what you need to do on this note." Mai nodded."What?" "Even out your air and don't blow it all out at once.Keep it still so it doesn't waver,and once youve set your throat,don't change it or you sound like a broken radiator.Ready?" Mai nodded and sang the note.It was pretty good,but not as good as Rex. "You didn't do it good enough."He said."Try again."She did.It was perfect.It was the most beautiful noise Rex had ever heard."Thats great!"He said."Marvelous!!"He clapped."Now,let's work on the other notes."
"We're about to take off."Tea informed."Are you OK?"Yugi was plastered to his first class seat,shaking and sweating horribly.He was extremely afraid of airplanes,and he had a window seat."Why didn't you tell me you didn't want a window seat?"Asked Tea."Now,it's too late to change."Yugi nodded and looked down at the ground.The wheels on the plane began to turn."Uh oh......."He said and gulped.Tea felt the plane jolt as it began to move."Yugi,isn't it exiting?"She asked."We're going to England!!"Yugi nodded. "Prepare for takeoff."Said the intercom as the plane moved faster and faster. Soon,it was struggling to get in the air.Yugi felt tears tease at his eyes but he held them back.He tryed to shovel Jell-O into his mouth but his arms were quivering too badly.The plane bounced once more,and,finally,lifted into the air.Yugi clasped his hands over his eyes.Out the window,the ground was rushing away at a high speed.The runway had diaappered.Yugi felt like they were totally vertical. When the plane evened out,Yugi unbuckled himself and tore for the bathroom.Barf was bubbling up in his stomach.He reached inside and went in a stall.Everything tumbled out.unfortuatly,so did his millinium Puzzle.The plane hit a sharp dip,and it began to roll."Come back....."Yugi croaked,more barf landing in the toilet.He wiped his mouth and began to run after the Puzzle.An old man in the aisle picked it up."Look at this awkward peice."He said."How much do you think it's worth?"His wife shrugged,so he began to shove it in her purse."Thats mine!!"Yugi shouted.It startled the man so badly,the puzzle flew from his hands and down the aisle.Yugi took a deep breath and began to follow it. It stopped at the feet of a six-year old.She picked it up and squeezed.The plane hit another dip,and the puzzle peices flew apart.They each flew in different spots.Yugi knew there were 25 peices to the puzzle.He found ten right under the girls chair.An old man was holding three,and asked Yugi if they belonged to him.Yugi nodded and took them. He grabbed 7 out of a sleeping man's lap.four were in Yugi's food.One left.Yugi whipped his head around and saw it,right in front of the cockpit door.He began to run toward it,but a hand reached out and grabbed it."Excuse me,but thats mine."Yugi said,grasping the other peices."Can I have it back?"Yugi looked at the persons face. "Bones!!"He said."What are you doing here?"Bones didn't answer."Im getting off at Tokyo."He said."Can I have my puzzle peice?"Asked Yugi. Yugi held out his hand forit. "No."Bones said.Yugi was suprised."Huh?"Asked Yugi."But It's mine!!Grandpa gave it to me!!" Bones held it up where the short Yugi coulden't reach."Thats why I want it."He said. Yugi wanted to cry.His puzzle was gone!! Yugi jumped up and down."Give me my puzzle peice!!"He said.Bones laughed.He ran down the aisle with it.Yugi gave the other peices to Tea and decided to chase him.Tea walked into the bathroom,and yug heard a gunshot.Him and Banes stopped.Bones dropped the puzzle.
"What happened to your arm?"Mokuba asked."Its all cut up!!"there was a cut on Bakora's main vein and running down into his elbow.You could see the bone in one place.Bakora howled as Kaiba touched it.he slapped Kaiba's hand and ran away."Don't touch me!!"He shouted."Just tell us what happened."Said Kaiba.Bakora walked back."uurrrrrrrr........"he said.He was scared to say anything. "Aw,you."Mokuba shouted.Bakora doean't feel like being talked about right now,so we're going to move on,OK?
"Mai,thats great!!!"Rex said.he smiled."That was really great!!"Mai smiled back.She felt something between them.Suddenly,she heard something."What was that?"She asked.Rex shrugged."I didn't hear anything."He said.Mai was still pretty sure she heard it."Theres someone watching us."Mai said. "GO AWAY OR ILL KILL YOU!!"Rex shouted.He turned toward Mai."Happy now?"He asked.Mai nodded.She belted out a "C".Rex clapped."Bravo,Bravo,very ni--" Rex pitched forward with a large hole by his right temple.It was oozing blood.There was a club on the ground that had just been thrown."REX!!!!"Mai shouted."Rex,speak to me!!Are you alright?"Rex groaned and rolled over."Yes.....yes....I'm just fine....."He said.His voice was croaky.But,he wasen't hit hard enough to die.(good.)"Oh,Rex!!!"said Mai."I never thought it would end like this!Im sad,so sad,so very very sad sad sad!!This is not the way I hoped my singing lesson would turn out!!!"She stopped mumbling when she realized Rex was not hurt enough to die.She sighed a sigh of relief."Let's get going."she said.They began to walk again.Rex swooned and fell over."I need a.....doc....."He said.Mai was hoping these words woulden't come out of his mouth."O-OK,Rexie."She said."Don't.....call....me.....Rexie."He said.Mai didn't no more.She grabbed her cellphone,and called Dr.Killalot."Hello?I need to make an appointment for Rex Raptor."said Mai,into the phone.The secretary was silent.She heard her say in the background ,to the other secretarys,'Rex Raptor's coming in!!!'All the secretarys cheered."What happened?"the secretary asked."Well,he got clubbed in the head."said Mai."Okay,bring him right in!!!"said the secretary,hanging up.Mai closed her cellphone."Rex,they want you in right now.But I don't know how I can get you in there.I-"She was suddenly overcome by an idea."TAXI!!!!"She shouted.A black and yellow car drove up."To the doctor's office."Mai said.The Taxi sped off.Rex could barely keep his head up.He fell asleep halfway there.Blood leaked all over Mai's outfit because thats where his head was resting.His snowcap rolled off his head.He really looked quite cute asleep.He was quiet for once. When they reached the office,Mai slapped back on Rex's hat and helped him walk into the office.As soon as a nurse saw him,they lead him and Mai into a room. "Alright,what happened here?"She asked.Groggily,Rex tried to explan."A....club...BAM.....head...hurty....."Rex fainted on the table.The nurse clasped on a blood pressure machine and pulled out a Tetunes shot.She injected the needle into Rex,and the pain awoke him."Mai......"He said."Whats wrong wit me?"Mai shrugged."Maybe brain damage or cuncussion?"Rex began to cry.He didn't want brain damage."Don't cry."Mai said.She decided to sing Rex a lullaby.It was horrible.Rex winced everytime she hit a high note,but said nothing."If I have brain damage,will I get surgery?"Asked Rex in the middle of Mai's song.She looked away."yes,But it won't be too bad.At least you'll be cured.You won't have to be hurt anymore."Rex nodded."But one more question.Who clubbed me?"Mai thought.She remembered a flash of a person,who had a long black mask on his face.Rings sparkled on his fingers.Mai described him.Rex nodded. "We ran tests."Declared a nurse,stepping inside."He has a cuncussion.He should be fine in about 2 days.Until then he'll remain in emergancy care to watch and see if any vomiting develops."Rex and Mai nodded.
Later,in the emergency room..........
"Whats on TV?"Rex asked,reaching for the remote."OH!!"Mai said."As The World Turns!"Rex groaned.He hated it,but he turned it on anyway. "Oh,jacklene.I....I.....I'm a homosexual.Or maybe a BiSexual." "No,Martin,It can't be!!Its not possible!!" Mai gasped."So he was gay....."She said."I suspected as much."The show ended.The advertisment for racing tickets flashed on TV. rex was asleep in the bed.Drool was leaking from his open mouth and his hat had rolled from his head and on to the floor.Mai picked it up and put it on the bed.Her stomach grumbled.She decided she'd step into the food court to get something to eat.But,she had to write a note for rex in case she got back.
Rex, I went to get somethin' to eat i'll bring you back a hotdog.
Love ya, Mai
When Rex waked up,Mai was gone.There was a yellow peice of paper with a drawn red heart on the bottem so Rex picked it up to read it.It was hard for Rex to read.It was blurry and distorted.It said what is indicated above."MMm..........Hotdogs."Rex said.He clicked on the TV to Love and Marriage.It was the one where they want to have a family fun weekend and the dad has to work at a conveniance store to pay off 12 dollers. When Mai came in with a burger and a Hotdog,Rex was laughing at the way the wife talked."Hello,Rex!!"Mai gushed.She set the hotdog by Rex and unwrapped her burger.Mai looked at the TV and ate the hamburger while watching.When the wife said,'Bernie,auntie Sarah died.'Mai laughed so hard she spit up a mouthfull.Rex turned his head."EW!!"He laughed.Mai looked down at the chewed up matter to wrap it up,and inside was.....HALF A WORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"Mai screamed at the top of her lungs."AAAGHHHH!!!AGGHHHHH!AGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Rex turned around."Mai,whats wrong?"He asked.She pointed to the burger."Oh.,....."He mumbled,and pushed the nurse button."What can I do for you?"Aske a croaky,cracky voice. Rex explained."I'll be right there."Said the nurse.Mai was laying at the foot of Rex's bed,in a daze.Rex examined her face.Her tongue was hangin' out and she was groanin'. "Snap out of it,Mai!!!!"Rex said.She sat up so fast she whopped Rex in the eye. "Ow."He said."Sorry."Mai said.
"Don't stitch me!!"Bakoo shouted to the doctor.The doctor was on a road on the way to Kaiba's hometown."Ryou,you'd better calm down or we'll have to tranquilize you." Bakora waved his arms."No!!!"He shouted."I won't let you!!"The doctor grabbed his arms."For the last time,Bakora,calm down."Bakora rolled off the bed.The doctor,thinking fast,grabbed a tranquilizer shot and tossed it.It injected into Ryou's arm.He immediatly fell asleep.The doctor sewed up his gash."Hmm....He said."It looks as if it was done by a.....serated knife.And how its on the main vein like this....."The doctor gasped.He walked outside to tell Kaiba and Mokuba the news. "I'm afraid your friend Bokora had ateempted suicide."He said.Kaiba gasped and stood up."Whoa."He said."Back up.Bakora loves himself!!He's handsome,nice,has 7 girlfriends,loves to talk,and lastly,he's got great friends.If I know Bakora,which I do as my best friend,He would never kill himself.Why,he might even love himself more than he does Mai valentine!!" The doctor got a strange look."Mai Valentine?She's right down the hall in the emergency warden!!"He said.Kaiba's eyes widened."What happened to her?Is she OK?" The doctor nodded."Oh,not her.It's not her thats hurt.Its that former DJ,Rex Raptor." Mokuba,who was playing with busy beads jumped up."I wanna see him!!"The doctor nodded,and told Mokuba the room.Mokuba ran into it.Kaiba could hear Mai gush with exitement. Kaiba followed the doctor into Bakora's room,who had just woken up."Bakora,did you try to kill yourself?"Asked Kaiba.bakora's face brightened."Me?Kill Myself?I love myself.I;m the greatest guy on earth.Why kill myself?"Kaiba flashed an I-told-you-so look at the doctor."Ok."The doctor said."Who did this to you?" "Not tellin'." "Uh...OK.Gimme a clue." "Not tellin!!!!" "Uh....hair color?" "NOT TELLIN!!" "Eye color?" "NOT TELLIN!!!" The doctor's hair was blown back from the yell."Uh....You can leave now,Bakora."Said the doctor."And,your friend Mai's right down the hall."Bakora's eyes widened."MAI?" He asked."why didn't you say so?"He ran down the hall so fast smoke came. Kaiba followed,but quite a bit slower. "Hello,Mai!!"Screamed Bakora.Mai stared at the sewed up gash."Um..hello Bakora,but why isn't there a bandge on that?" Mai glanced at Mokuba and Rex,who were watching Spider Man. "Because the doctor wanted me to leave real fast."bakora said.Mai nodded and gave him an ace bandage."What happened to you?"She asked as Kaiba entered the room. Bakora was about to explain. "Hi,Kaiba!!"Said Mai as he was starting."Have a seat!!" She got up.Kaiba,without a word or expression,sat down in the seat.Mai sat down on the foot of Rex's bed. "So.....How ya feelin',Rexie?"Asked Bakora."#1,don't call me Rexie.#2,I feel like crap."Rex said.bakora nodded."Oh."He looked at the TV and began to watch it.Kaiba stared at the floor with a blank look.When a big fat guy eatin spaghetti came on,everyone laughed.Not Kaiba.When a commercial for Tampax came on,everyone cracked up.Not Kaiba(Or Mai,of course.Why would a girl find that funny?). When The fat man died,everyone laughed.Even Kaiba.Just a little. "Whats wrong with you,Seto?"Asked Mokuba in a minipulative voice.kaiba shrugged.Bakora snorted.Everyone laughed.Not Kaiba. Bakora chopped off a barbie's hair.Nobody laughed.He cut the straps off her dress.The boys stared,but no o0ne laughed.Bakora melted her in the microwave.Rex yawned. "WAHTS THE MATTER WITH EVERYONE?"Bakora asked. "Maybe its just that YOU'RE NOT FUNNY?"Mai shouted.Bakora was hurt.He went into the bathroom,and locked the door. ***
Hours later,Bakora came out of the bathroom.He had been crying."Uh,was it soemthin' I said?"Asked Mai."Um,yeah."Said Bakora.Mai laughed."HA HA." "One time,my dad laughed at me.He laughed and laughed.I got so mad,I decided to get revenge.So you knoe what I did?I clogged the toilet.It took him forever to figure out it was a dalmation puppy toy.Those are just big enough to cause major blockage.You know?And they're so cute you can just name them.Spot,Dotty,Lacy,Lucy,Lou,Anything."You know,I--" "Bakora!!Shut up!!"Shouted Kaiba.Everyone went silent.Kaiba got up."Uh...sorry."He said."But don't you all get a little TIRED of hearing Bakora's mouth?"The majority nodded.Bakora did nothin.He just looked at the ground."I have no friends."He said.Kaiba rolled his eyes."Yes you do.But you talk like..like....a broken record.If you'd shut up once i a while,more people would like you." Bakoo was so sad he slumped out.He ran into a boy with kindey problems and caused him to wet himself."Uh.....Hello."Bakora said."My names Bakora.One time,I wet myself.It was all yellow and all over the bedsheets where I was playing my Gameboy.Do you like Gameboys?I like Gameboys.I have 17 games.Kaiba got them for me.One of them is Pokemon Yellow.I like Pokemon yellow.It has Pikachu,and--" The boy screamed and ran away."Wonder what his problem is?"Asked Bakoo to himself.Then he decided he was too old to pout,so he went back into the room.They were reading a comic book(All except Kaiba)And laughing at a funny part.Rex put the bedsheets over his head and let out a long,whiney moan. "I'm tired."He said."Go away.Get off my bed."He whined again.Mokuba whined back.Rex whined louder.So did Mokuba.They kept moaning at eachother.It was really irritating Kaiba.He was so irritated he was about to explode into a thousand peices. "STOP!!!!" He shouted,so loud that the building shook.Everyone shut up.Mokuba began to cry. "MOKUBA,YOU LITTLE BRAT!!SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!"Mokuba sniffled. Everyone was staring at Seto,with a look of amazement."Whats the matter with you?"He asked,desgusted."I was irritated with my little brother's whining!And Rex--he's fifteen years old and sounds like he's two!!" Mai stepped up in Kaiba's face."You shut up!!"She said."Rex is tired and his head hurts.Its all these people's faults--except Mokubas,and including you--(Bakora was hurt)That he had to whine!!"She slapped Kaiba across the face. "Never strike me!!"He shouted,and socked Mai in her lip.She clumbered on to the bed into a heap.Bakora stood in the corner,whimpering."Mai?"He asked."Are you OK?" Kaiba shifted angry eyes at Bakora."I thought you were my friend?"He said. Bakora stepped out of the corner."I am your friend.Its just that--uh--you hurt her,and uh-" "Bakora,shut up.I don't care.Who would want a ladies man who talks like a leprechan to be thier friend?" Bakora sputtered,but didn't back away."Are you OK,Mai?"He continued.She looked up and nodded.Blood was splattered from her lips,which were coated in purple lipstick. Rex was in the bed,silently laughing to himself.Mokuba was hiding under the covers. Tears leaked from his eyes.he looked at Mai's lips."You hurt,her,Seto!!"He shouted,on top of everyone elses voices.Kaiba looked at Mokuba."Be quiet now."He said."Let's go.We aren't wanted here.Or maybe you are,but not me." Kaiba grabbed Mokuba's fat arm and drug him out into the open.Mokuba didn't say anything. Kaiba looked at him with hate-filled eyes.(Not for him,but for other people)Mokuba started to cry."I want back in there!!"He shouted,and broke away from Kaiba.He raced down the hall,without one look back. Kaiba was amazed.His own brother was afraid of him!!A thought hit him in the head.Maybe it was the murder of Joey?Maybe Mokuba suspected him after striking Mai?Besides,you weren't supposed to hit girls.Maybe Mokuba thought Kaiba would go a step farther. An old lady walked by,and Kaiba laughed at her age and looks.That got him thinking.Even if he didn't murder Joey,would he ever murder someone?Kaiba shut his eyes tightly and wiped the thought from his mind.A nurse walked by and smiled at him,and Kaiba forced a smile back.If Mokuba was afraid he was a murder,than Kaiba would have to prov ehe wasn't.He had to find out just who DID kill Joey.But that ment leaving Mai,Rex,Bakora--and Mokuba.He would sound a little nuts if he walked in the room and said,'Hey,Moku,whats up.Oh,and by the way,do you think I'm a murderer?' Kaiba began to walk down the hall and out the doctors office door,when a voice stopped him. "Kaiba!"It said musiclly.Kaiba turned around.Bakora's handsome self was running toward him."Where are you going?"Asked Bakora."Your not a runaway." "Not hardly."Kaiba said."But I was thinking--what if Mokuba thinks I killed Joey after what just happened to Mai?I mean,it's clear that I have the guts to hit a girl,so what if he thinks I would go a step further?" Bakora shrugged."I don't know."He said."Whaddaya askin me for?" Kaiba shurgged."So,I was thinking.Why don't I find the murderer,and prove to Mokuba that I woulden't do such a thing." Bakora shook his head,screwig up his hair."Nuh-uh."He said."Your crazy."His accent was horrible on the word,'crazy.' Kaiba shook HIS head."Nope."He said."I'm gonna find him.Just like Yugi tried to--and know he's going to England with some crazy,pokey-butted girl." "Really........"Bakora said in a trailing off voice.Kaiba could see Bakora thought he was off his rocker.Kaiba nodded."So.....do you want to come?"Bakora thought."But Mai........."Kaiba heard Rex's voice from his room. "That Kaiba guy can be such a jerk.He'll never get married.He'll drive all 16 of his wives away after the first half hour!!" When Kaiba heard this,his eyes pinpointed and he walked briskly out the door.He could hear Bakora's heavy breath following. Bakora could hear Mai say,"REX!!That was uncalled for." Bakora stopped at the sound of her voice.His mind was filled of fantasy.He pitched forward onto the ground. "Bakora?"Kaiba asked."Are you alright?"He helped Bakora to his feet. "I'm fine."Bakora said.A newspaper brushed against his head and he grabbed it.A familer name caught his eyes and he read.
Local Girl(Tea Gardner)Is shot Yesterday,a girl from this town was shot on a plane to England.She was accompanied by Yugi Motou,the only duelest to ever beat Seto Kaiba."She was my second friend killed."Yugi recalled,crying during his interveiw. While in the baythroom applying make-up,Tea was suprised and shot by someone.Since she was in a public restroom,it could have been either sex.Tea was not good looking,as officials say,so she wasn't torured for rape refusal.After the gunshot,locals say they saw a young man of about twenty with a ski cap over his head run from the bathroom.If you have any info on this crime,call 1800-crime TV.
"Wow."Bakora said.He handed the article to Seto,who read it."Wha?"He said when he reached the part about her being shot.His eyes got a weird look and he crumpled the article."This should be proof for Mokuba that you didn't do it."Bakora said.He was very weird looking,as if he had seen a ghost."First Joey,now Tea."He mumbled. "I know it's proof."Kaiba said."But I still want to find out who killed them.I didn't know Tea too well,But I did know Joey." "Bakora gulped."Your right."He said."Tea and Joey were my friends.Let's go get Yugi from the airport,and then look."Kaiba shook his head."You stay with Mai,rex and Mokuba.Don't tell Mokuba where I am.Just say I'm on a little trip." bakora nodded.Kaiba untied Mocha(Who was now a fully grown horse)And galloped off.
Yugi held his puzzle in trembling hands.His head was sweating,and he was crying silenty."I'm gonna go bonkers....."He said."First Joey,now Tea."Yugi was afraid he was going to go mad from two of his friends dying in a period of two months."I wonder if there's some type of.....connection between this.I mean,its all people I know." He sighed."But then again,its all people Kaiba,Bakora,Mai and Rex know.Whoever it is could be getting revenge on them by killling thier friends."Yugi's hand shot to his mouth."That means--I could be next."He thought about this for a moment,when his phone rang. "Hello?"He called into it,his voice cracking. "Hello.Its Kaiba." Yugi's face brightened."Didja hear?"He asked. "Yes."Kaiba said."I just wanted to tell you I'm coming on a white horse to get you.Be waiting." "OK."Yugi said."I've been thinking.All the people dying are our friends.They could be getting revenge on either one of us." "Yeah,"Kaiba said."But Mai,Rex,Mokuba,Bakora and Bones all know them too.It could be getting Revenge on them,and thats why i'm searching." "Searching for what?" "The murderer.If I can find im' maybe he won't kill me or you or Bakoo or Zabumafoo." "OK."Yugi said."Bye."He hung up the phone.He started to twiddle his thumbs and wait.He was at an airport in Kaiba's hometown because the flight attendants gave him a free ride home after the loss of his friend.Yugi decided he'd put together his Puzzle again.He grabbed a rather large peice with an eye on it,and clasped it to another peice.Soon,he heard a voice."Hello."It said.He looked up into the face of Weevil,again.He was much cleaner,and had a mean looking dog on a leash. "Weevil!!"Yugi said."Your not a bum anymore!!"Weevil nodded."I found a job at the marketplace.Since I turned 16 last week they let me in in a flash.Besides,I'm good at duel monsters,so I could put on shows and demonstrations to attract even more money." Yugi screwed up his face."But you use bugs.Who wants bugs in a supermarket?" Weevil growled."Shut up you!!"He said."Nobody asked.It's the market's problem,not mine."Yugi drew back."Did you hear about T-t-Tea?"He was stuttering on the word Tea. Weevil laughed in Yugi's face."Do you really think I would care after all the mean mean crap you pulled?"Yugi had to think about it."Uh....No?"He said.Weevil nodded,and before Yugi could hold himself back,He punched Weevil right in the stomach.Weevil had rock-hard abs,and it didn't hurt him too bad.He got right back up and twisted Yugi's arm. "Ahhhhh!!!!"Yugi called.He pulled his arm free and grabbed Weevil's large nose.He twisted it 3 times around,breaking it. "AGLYGLUHKJKLNLN!!!!"Weevil cried.Blood poored into his hand,which he wiped across Yugi's shirtfront. "Yuck!!"Yugi said.He puched Weevil in the broken nose.Weevil cried out,and kicked Yugi in the head.Yugi fell to the ground.Weevil stepped on his......place. "Its the end!!"Yugi said,in pain.Weevil jabbed a fist into Yugi's stomach right as another fist joined in.In puched Weevil in the back of the head so hard teeth flew out.Then,two solid hoofs collided with his head,knocking him down.Yugi pulled himself up."Kaiba,....."He croaked.Kaiba was sitting on his horse.Weevil sat mumbling on the ground."There goes my career....."He said,tending to a cracked head.Mocha kicked Weevil's glasses,and glass broke off into his large eyes.The large dog that Weevil was carrying went nuts.It began to run toward Yugi and Kaiba. Kaiba grabbed Yugi's arm and pulled him onto Mocha. "Go go go!!"He shouted to the horse,which bolted off.The dog,which was very expensive,kept up with Mocha and snapped at his heels. "Kick him!!"Yugi said."With your feet!!"He grabbed the horse's hind legs.He quickly drew back when the horse turned around and reared up at the dog.It brought it's feet down hard on the dog's head,killing it. "Alright!!"Kaiba said.He was happy.He saw his tall house in the distance."Let's go there for a while!!"He said."Then we can find the murderer!!"Yugi nodded. They raced towrd the house.
"Look,the painting is just great!!"Mai said."See.You can do great if you just try a little!!"Rex smiled at the picture."It looks just like a log.Boy,you helped me grandly!!"He hugged the pic,getting brown paint all over him. "How about we paint something a little harder this time?"Mai asked.Rex nodded."OK."He said. "Let's do.........A dog!!"Mai gushed."OK!"Rex said."A boy dog,or a girl dog?" Mai sneered."It doesn't matter;your not painting the...parts anyway." "Yeah,but boy dogs wear blue collers,and girl dogs wear pink collers." "Well,how about it's a stray dog,who deosn't own a coller?" "OK,sounds good to me." "Ok,"Mai said."You know what to do first.Brush a light layer of water over the paper." Rex did it.A little messily,but he did it. "OK.Now,Paint an outline of a dog."Rex started,but it dripped."can you help me?"He asked in a baby voice.Mai got another paper,brushed water over it,and drew the outline of a perfect dog. "Nice."Rex said."Now,what do I do?" "OK.Just color whatever color you want your dog to be in the lines." Rex dabbed purple on the brush and colored the dog purple. "Why in the world is the dog purple?"Mai asked,strangly. "Well,thats what color I wanted."Rex replied.Mai nodded."Now,make little black dots with the black paint for eyes." Rex dabbed black paint,but it spread.Over the dog's whole face. "Oops."Rex said."Oh,no.Now its ruined!!!!" "How cute."Mai said."You can't paint." "Well,no duh!!"Rex knocked the painting into some mud."I don't want to paint.I hate paint.It's bright,colorful and sickening.You know,I never wanna see paint again!!" "You can't just get mad and give up!!"Mai said. "I just did."Replied Rex. Mai clenched her fists and walked off."WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?!"She asked through clenched teeth.Rex got sad."I'm soooooooooo sad."He said."Sssssssspoooooooooooosooooooooosssssoooooooo sadddddddddddddddd."
"Have you seen this guy?"Asked Yugi,holding a picture of himself up to another elderly woman."Why,yes,dear.He's right in front of me."Yugi stared all around him."I don't see anybody in front of you,ma'm."The lady laughed and walked off. Yugi was puzzled.That was the 35th person who did that.Then,it hit him.There was an invisible guy,only visible to old people!!(Yugi was still drunk) "I've gotta find this scoundrel and put him between bars!!!"He walked up to another lady."Hello,little boy."She said."Yeah.Hi."Yugi replied."I was wonderin if you've seen this no good person around here.He murdered a helpless boy."The old lady looked at Yugi."I;ve got to call the police!!"She said,and dialed the number."A murderer's here!Come quick!!"She shouted.She hung up the phone."Good.We'll get that invisible foe.Thanks,lady."Police sirens wailed."Well,I'd better be going."Yugi said.He began to walk off."He's getting away!!!"The lady shouted."Get him,Get him!!!"Policeman ran down Yugi and cuffed him."Whats this?"Yugi asked,right in a police's face. "I smell alchohal!!"One shouted."He did while he was drunk!Yugi Motou,you're under arrest for the murder of Joey Prescot Wheeler!!"
"Who was it?"Asked Bakora."Who?"Bones looked at the ground."It was....It was....."Bakora got irritated."Tell me,or I'll turn you into the police!!"He threatened,brandishing a cell phone."OK,OK,I'll tell you."Bones stammered."Or,I'll give you clues.Yeah,clues.You can try to guess them,if you want."Mokuba nodded."I love guessing games.Let's go!!" Bones thought long and hard."Well,first,he had blond hair.Then,he likes to steal.Then,he used to go out with Mai.Now thats all I'm saying." The only person Bakora,Mokuba or Kaiba could think of was Bandit Keith,but he didn't steal.Or did he? "Is it Bandit Keith?"Asked Mokuba.Bones shrugged."What do you mean?" "I mean that I don't know.The dude that called me one night gave me those things.I was hoping YOU would figure it out." "Who called you that time?"Asked Kaiba,casually. "I don't know.It was a prank call." Kaiba scooted close to Bakora."Either he's telling white lies,or we better stalk that Bandit Keith." Bakora nodded."And you aren't lying?"Bones shook his head."Honest I'm not."He said. Mokuba took a cowboy rope out of his pocket."Let's tie him up and check out bandit Keith.If he's lying,we hurt and torture him.If he's not,we let him go." Mokuba whistled,and Princess and Mocha appeared.Mokuba tied up Bones good and tight and then tied him to the horse.He got on the baby."C'mon,Seto and Bakora."He said."Let's go look at bandit Keith."
"Oh,no!!"Rex wailed.Red and pink paint splashed all over his vest."Now I'll have to wash it!!"He took off the vest and went to dip it in the stream,but it got caught on a branch.The branch ripped it very long. "Mai!!"He yelled."Mai!My vest is ripped!There must be something we can do about this!!" He tore at his long,thick hair.Mai grabbed the shirt."Oh my....."She said. "What?"Asked Rex."Whats wrong?Can't you fix it?You're a girl!You have to know how!!" "Sorry,but it's not along a seam.Theres no way we can sew it." Rex was outreaged."Isn't it a federal law that women must know how to sew correct?" "I;m afraid it's not."Mai said,and looked down at a large shopping mall in Kaiba's hometown.She got a strange look on her face."Whats wrong wit chu?"Asked Rex."Mu shirt--my vest--they're ruined!!" "Not for long."Mai said,looking at Rex then looking at the mall."We can go shopping." Rex thought that he was going to roll over and die."Shop?"He asked."Shop?I hate shopping!!It's all about shoes,watches,hats,clothes,pants,shoes,and more hats!!Its horrible!!" Mai was heartbroken."We're going to go shopping and you are going to like it,understand?"She asked.Rex pulled down her mini skirt.She blushed and pulled it up. "My green thongs are none of your buisness!!"She said. Rex laughed."They're funny."He said.Mai grabbed his arm and started to drag him. "Where are you taking me?"He asked."You horrid fiend!!"She drug him all the way into the shopping mall. "Now stand up and act your age."Mai said."We have to get to all these shops!!"She pulled Rex to window to a store called The Men's wearhouse. "Lets go in here!!"She said."I bet we can find you some really cute clothes!!"She grabbed Rex's arm and pulled him to a rack of very sophisticated suits.She pulled out a brown one."Oh,look!!"She said. "It looks like you!Try it on!!"She gave him the suit and shoved him into a dressing room. When Rex came out,everyone laughed."Ha!!"One girl said."Rex Raptor looks hideous!You should be ashamed of him!!" Rex ran back into the room and shut the door.A few minutes later he came out with his regular clothes back on."I don't like shopping."He said.But Mai was already across the mall,in a junior size store.She was trying on skin tight dresses and skirts. "Oh,I like that one."Said Rex when she put on a very very short dress.So did everyone else. Even the shop clerk.Mai threw it in a basket.She walked over to some shoes and bought some with live goldfish in the back like Madonna's.She threw three pairs of bell bottems in that were 3 sizes too small,hats she didn't need,makeup,and a pet dog. She walked up to the cash regester,and decided she didn't want the dog so she let it away. "That comes to 345 dollers and 96 cents."Said the shop clerk."Oh no!!"Mai said."I only have 50 dollers!!Oh,Rex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Rex was looking at a maniquin.He walked over."What do you want?"He asked."That was a beautiful work of art!!" "I need 295.96."She said to Rex.Rex threw her a wallet and walked back over to the manequin.In the wallet was over 3 thousand dollers!!Rex was very rich,but not as rich as Kaiba. She deducted the proper amount,and gave the wallet back to Rex.He handed the bag to Mai.She walked away from the desk,and looked around.Her eyes fell on a massage shop.(Massage as in back rub) "Oh,I want one of those!!"She said,pulling Rex away from the manaquin. She pulled him over to the shop."We'll take a hottub bath,and one massage for each of us!!!"Mai said to the sales clerk.She handed him her bag to store. She grabbed a bathing suit she had just bought,and rented one for Rex.She ran to the hottub. "I don't get the point of this!!"Rex said."It's just a dumb old bath.We could take one in a sleazy hotel,for the love of Pete!!!" Mai ignored him. "I'm leaving."Rex said."I'm going to another store.I'll meet you back here in......"He looked at his watch--"1 hour." Mai nodded and Rex ran out.First,he went into a video game store and bought 13 video games,a gameboy advance,7 playstations,and a game informer magazine.Him and Mai both had trouble managing money.By the time Rex was finished shopping at that shop,936 dollers were down the drain.He decided,though the 1 hour wasn't up--That he'd go get Mai and they could go to the food court for something to eat.He was about to do this when he caught sight of something.It was a petting zoo,with many animals.One stupid little boy had just gotten himself bitten by a nanny goat.Rex decided to walk over and see what was over there.He saw pigs,alpachas,llamas,Horses,ponies,chickens,rabbits,ferrets,and other things.He grabbed a baby ferret,which decided it would make lunch with his finger."Yeow!!"He shouted,and dropped it into the cage.Then,Rex saw something.It was a Water Moccasin,the deadly snake.This ones fangs and venom had been removed,so it was harmless.Rex remembered how Mai hated snakes.He shifted his sacks he was carriying and asked the guy how much he wanted for the snake.The guy told him about 400 dollers,so he bought it and took it with him to the Hot Tub Resort.He looked in the window.Mai was sitting in the hottub.Rex slowly stalked over there and lowered the snake into the water.Mai hadn't seen him.He crouched down below and waited. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"Shouted Mai."THERES A SNAKE IN MY BATHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" She jumped up extra fast,slinging water all over Rex's back.Rex looked over the side of the tub,and saw the snake was wrapped around Mai's arm.She tugged and pulled at it.Rex crawled over to the door and pretended to enter casually. "So,Mai,whats up?"He asked. "THERES A SNAKE ON ME!iT WAS IN MY BATH!!IM SOOING FOR THIS!!"Rex ran over anf grabbed the fat snake.He threw it across the room.Mai caught sight of his bags."Let me see you recipts."She said,wanting to see how much money he had spent.Rex,not thinking anything about it,handed it to them.She read them all with no reaction--until she came to the last one. "What?"She asked.Rex was suprised.What was wrong? "Huh?"Asked Rex. "AUSTRAILIAN WATER MOCCASIN!!!"Mai screeched,shoving the last reciept in Rex's face.He read it.Printed in blue ink was: AUSTRAILIAN WATER MOCCASIN.400 DOLLERS.
"Thanks for bailing me out."Yugi said.He was no longer drunk."How did you come up with all that money?We're both very poor."Tea looked at him."Oh,I went to Kaiba's house.He wasn't home,so I stole a couple hundred.I was going to borrow it,and I'm sure he won't mind." Yugi was amazed."All that money?Wow."He was kinda mad she did that to Kaiba."I'll call him later to tell him."She said."Like I said,I'm sure he won't mind."
"WHAT?"Kaiba shouted into the phone."Seven hundred dollers?"He was so mad,he could feel the steam rising from his ears."Seven hundered is almost a thousand!We could have invented 3 new ink cartridges with that money!And besides,where did you find my secret money hideaway?" Tea laughed."Kaiba,it's under your see through fruit bowl."Kaiba's face went red."Well,I want the money back.Yugi can go back in to jail,for the love of it!!" He pounded a tree stump. "Seto,whats wrong?"Asked Mokuba.He could tell Kaiba was very,very angry. "Nothing,Mokuba."Kaiba said through gritted teeth,trying to keep from yelling."Yeah,right."Mokuba said. "SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BRAT!!"Kaiba shouted,his fists clenched.Mokuba began to bawl."Oh,no...."Kaiba said."Tea,you better pay me back.I gotta get off the phone."Kaiba hung up. "Aw,Mokuba,don't cry......"Kaiba said.Mokuba continued."You know,some times big brothers have to do things that they don't want to be bothered,thats all."Mokuba began to cry louder. "And sometimes,big brothers get mean!!!"Kaiba pulled back his hand to slap Mokuba. Mokuba cried louder."Oh,god....."Kaiba said to Bones.Bones started to cry,too.He was tired of being tied up. "Both of you,shut up!"Said Kaiba,shoving a bubblegum lollipop into Mokuba's fat hand and socking Bones.Mokuba stopped crying,and so did Bones.Finally,it was quiet.Mokuba bit the lolli three times,and it was gone."Yummy!!"Mokuba said."So.....What was wrong?" Kaiba supressed anger."Well....That girl,Tea,stole seven hundered dollers." "So?700 dollers is nothing.Its not even a thousand." Kaiba relized that."Well,its still strealing,and I still want her to pay me back to be mean." Bones awoke from his faint,and frowned.He wanted to be free!!" "Can we go check out Bandit Keith?So I can be free?"Mokuba nodded,but thought of something. "Bones didn't know who it was that called him,or if its bandit keith.In those standards,how could we hurt him if it wasn't bandit,when he didn't say it was in the first place?" Bones smiled."He's right,Kaiba!Untie me now!!" Kaiba thought.Mokuba was right.He thought pretty good for an eight year old. "Ok."Kaiba said,and untied the ropes."Your free.Are you happy now?"Bones nodded."But we should still talk Keith to make sure he didn't kill Joey.All the clues except one point to him." Mokuba nodded and got on the baby horse.Kaiba and Bones got on Princess.
"The radio station!!"Shouted Rex."We're here!Now,we can get my job back!"He jumped,and spun."MAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII,What a happy day!!!!!"Shouted Rex. Mai nodded."Um,yes.....yes....it is....."She wanted her job back too!She loved being a DJ!!But If she told Rex,and she got the job,he'd be really steamed. "I know!"Mai siad."We can do a show together!!"She said."Like Jeff and Anna on Mix 102.9!!" Rex was puzzled."But Why?" "Because I loved being a DJ!!"Mai replied.Rex thought.Maybe it could be fun. "OK.'He said."Let's try it.But you know we have to sing a solo audition first,and then try out our DJ crap at our job interveiw!!" Mai thought about that.She was a OK singer,but Rex was excellent.He could make anything sound good. "I wonder what song we can do."Mai said.Rex thought."How about Peaches and Cream?" "No."Mai said."It has to have boy and girl parts"Rex thought."I've never thought about girl parts.I'm a boy." Mai thought somore."I know!!"She said all the sudden."The song,'What would you do!!'!!"It has alot of both parts! "Genius!!"Rex said,smiling his crazy way.He walked through the door. "HELLLLLLLOOOO EVERYBODY CUZ RRRRRREEEEX RRRRRRAPTOR'S BACK!!!"They were suprised."Rex Raptor!!You're alive!!!"He nodded."It takes more than that to get ridda me!!I'm here to audition with this girl so we can have our job back.But we wanna do a show together,so step aside.I'm here to see the manager!"He shoved two emplyees aside and waltzed up to the manager."I'm here to audition for my job back."He said.
"He was sooooooo mad."Yugi said to himself."Tea can be so stupid at times.Come to my house and borrow 700 dollers and see what happens to you."He chuckled to himself."Now she has to work in mc.Donalds until she can pay Kaiba back." Yugi sat down on a park bench next to an old woman with her poodle."Hello."Yugi said gleefully."My names Yugi Motou!!"The old lady looked up from her book."Yes,hi....."She said,and brought her eyes back down."Boy,thats a pretty dog.It has a pom-pom tail." The lady looked up."Yes,It's very nice."Yugi smiled at her.She brought her eyes back down and shook her head."You know what?"Asked Yugi."What?"The lady asked irritated. "I once had a dog." "Thats nice." Yugi thought this was the start of a great friendship. "His name was Porky."Yugi smiled at the lady.She slammed her book shut,grabbed her dog's leash,and walked away."Wait!"Yugi said,holding up a hand after her. "I don't know your name,friend!!" "Good!!"The lady replied,and walked out of sight.Yugi's best friend was dead,and his others were gone.He had no friends.His eyes fell on a bum on the side of the road.He was by trash cans.Yugi relized the old woman,who was apparently rich,had left her lunchbag.He picked it up."Here Mr."Yugi said,handing it to the bum.The bum looked up.He looked familier.Very familier. It was Weevil Underwood!!Yugi very quickly jerked the lunch bag away."Weevil!!"He said."What happened to you?" Weevil croaked and reached for the lunch bag,which Yugi threw to dogs. "I....lost.....everything!!!!!!!!!!!"He shouted.Yugi giggled."But...how?"He said,amused by Weevil's misfortune. "I................tripped and lost my pants on public TV.Everyone saw how fond I was of Between The Lions,And I was ruined."Weevil bust into sobs.Yugi decided that Weevil was crazy and moved on.There were several other bums,but they all have evil looking eyes.Like clowns.Yugi shuddered and walked to the Mc.Donalds Tea worled at."Hey,Tea."He said."What up?" Tea looked misrable."Nothing.My face is greasy,my hands are chafed,my hair is smelly,and I look like crap." Yugi saw this was true."How about you just use your vacation savings and give them to Kaiba?"Yugi suggested.Tea's eyes became wild."You know,I was thinking about using my savings.But not to give to Kaiba.You see,me and you are flying all the way to England,and never coming back.Maybe we'll see Bakora's family." Yugi backed up."Uhhhhhh....We are?"He asked.Tea nodded."You'll go with me won't you?"Asked tea,reaching for Yugi."Won't you?"Yugi decided this was awfully creepy."Alright,alright.I'll go with you." Tea returned to normal."Well,thats good,cuz the flight leaves tomarrow.We'll never come back." Yugi was sad.
"I heard Rex Raptor was at your hometown,guys!"Bakora shouted,bursting onto the scene."Some girls were talking about it."Kaiba and Mokuba and Bones's faces brightened. "Let's go find him!!"Said Mokuba."He's my bestest friend!!"Kaiba looked down at Mokuba."Sorry,buddy,but we have to stalk Keith,remember?"Mokuba saddened."I'll die if we don't find Rex.I'll never go with you!Never!!"Bones rolled his eyes."There's really nothing to lose."He said.Kaiba glared at him. "I think we should."Said Bakora."I mean,we'll get arrested for stalking if we're caught,anyway." That was something to think about.Sometimes,Kaiba thought Bakora ruined all the fun. "Ok,Ok."Kaiba said."We'll get him,then come back.That is,if he wants to come with us." Mokuba looked up."How about we just....go home when we get there?It's not our job to investigate murders anyhow."Mokuba was right."Yeah."Kaiba said."Let's go home when we get there."Bakora nodded."Well,I live around here."He said."I'll go with you guys home,then walk back to my place when you get there."Kaiba nodded."OK,so lets go.Bones,how about you go ride the horse with MOkuba?"He nodded and got on.The horse was growing up.It was very strong. Kaiba made him and Bakora's horse go.It was almost daytime."I'm tired."Declared Bakora."Do we have to do it all in one night?Why?" "Its a long story." "I am English.I like long stories." "Well,It all started with Mokuba...." Hey,fellas,doen't this sound familier?" Kaiba nodded."We don't need to rest at all.You can just sleep on there if you want."Bakora shook his head."I'll wait till we get home.Oh,and I'm hungrey."
They were getting ready to sing. "I,2,3 GO!!"Shouted the dirtector.Rex Raptor began his song and dance ritual.Mai sat down,waiting for her turn.She looked at Rex.His singing was wonderful!!It was Virbrato,and sounded alot like Smash Mouth.His dancing was very cool and made him look cute.She stared and stared,and when her part came,she began to sing.It was....HORRIBLE!!!!! Rex looked at her in amasement."Mai,what are you doing?"He mouthed.She didn't relize her singing was so bad,and didn't stop.When Rex's part came,he started kinda awkwardly,but got right back on.He was a bit suprised that Mai sang so badly,because he had heard her before and it was excellent.Mai's part came again.Rex crossed his fingers and hoped for her singing to be better.It wasn't.Her singing sure wasn't no beautiful thing.It was full of cracks and wavers.Finally,Rex slid on his knees in front of Mai."STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He shouted."No,no no!!!Its all wrong!!You can't sing worth-worth crap!!!"Mai looked down at him,startled.She hung her head. "You're right,you're very right.I sing so badly....."Her voice trailed off. "Nuh uh!I heard you before on the radio and it was pretty." "I used a Christina Agulara CD."She confessed.Rex's eyes widened even more than they natrally are."Whoa......"Rex said."Bakc me up here.If you can't sing,why in god's name did you want to audition with me?You knew it would ruin my chances of being picked!!!"Rex was getting angrier and angrier by the second."You know?You're worse than that Bakora guy!!" Rex stomped out of the radio station.He was steaming mad.Mai decided to stay inside until he cooled off.
"Please.....let me....commmmeeee......."Weevil said."I can find a fortune there.....and prospure.....surly someone lokes my dueling talents?"Yugi shook his head.He was waiting for Tea to come out of the electronics shop.He stopped when he saw her motioning for him to come quick.He rushed over.Tea was stading in front of a TV.On it was Rex Raptor staring in awe as Mai Valentine sung her audition.It was horrible.Yugi began to laugh as Rex's part started up again.His voice made on little waver because of suprise,but he got right back on track and began to sing wonderfully. Mai's part came again and Yugi cracked up.There was about a second where her voice just--stopped.When she started again,she sounded like an infant crying.All the sudden,Rex scooted out in front of her and yelled 'stop.'The music stopped and Rex ran outside.By the time this had happened,Tea and Yugi were cracking up. Yugi dialed Kaiba's number. "Hello?"Asked Kaiba. "Its me,Yugi."Yugi said."Did you hear what happened about Rex and Mai?" "No.Fill me in because we're going home right now." "Well,they got up there to do audition,and Mai sounded terrible." Kaiba laughed."Ha ha."He said. "Well,me and Tea are going to....England this afternoon."He said. "What?"Asked Kaiba.Yugi could hear him talking to Bakora.When he got back on,there was frightening news."But Yugi,Bakora says that the airline to England crashes like....all the time!!Bad pilot,I guess."Yugi heard Bones and Mokuba fighting in the background. "Oh."Yugi said."But Tea is rather insistant on going.I guess i'll see you around." Yugi hung up the phone."Tea."He said."Kaiba says that the airline to England crashes all the time due to a bad pilot!!If we're on a plane that crashes......"His voice trailed off. "Don't worry."Tea said."We'll be fine."She walked toward a hotdog stand.Yugi could just hear that Weevil was begging a rich lady for money.
"NO NO NO!!!!"Mokuba said."Its mine!!!Seto,tell this boney brute that the lolli belongs to me!!!"He made a desperate attempt to jerk the lolli from Bones's hands. "Well,I'm hungrey!!"Bones said."Its mine!!Right,Bakora?"Bakora and Kaiba exchanged glances. "Kaiba grabbed the lolllipop from Them Both and handed it to Mokuba.Mokuba was happy,and put it in his mouth.Mokuba thought it tasted so good,he bragged to Bones that he had one and Bones didn't.Bakora pullled out a candy bar and gave it to Bones.Mokuba dropped the lolli. "Gimme that!!"He said,and grabbed it.They began to tug it back and fourth. "Bakoo gave it to me!!!"Bones shouted."Well,I want it!!"Said Mokuba. "Jesus Christ,Bones,your fighting with an eight year old!!"Bakora said."He started it!!"Shouted Bones,and ripped it from Mokuba.The impact caused Mokuba to roll off the horse and hit the ground.He began to wail."My cannnddyyyyyyyyy......."He cryed.Kaiba didn't know what to do. "Umm/....Mokuba,you...are very.....nice?"Mokuba cried louder."Gimme a candy,or i'll cry!!!"Bakora ripped the candy bar from Bones.Bones started to cry.
"I can't take it anymore!!"He shouted."You all treat me like....I;m ugly or something!!"Kaiba snickered. Bones was so mad,he climbed up a tree.Then,he jumped from tree to tree deep into the forest."Bones,wait!!"Kaiba shouted.But Bones kept jumping."Stay here!!"Kaiba ordered,and he jumped on Princess.He rode after Bones. Mokuba was happily chewing on the candy bar.There was chocolate on his white bandana.don't eat so messily.Bakora ordered."Those clothes must last you until we get home--and that may be a while."Mokuba pouted ."You order me around too much."He said."And your not Seto.Your not even family."Bakora wanted to strangle the child. "Will you shut up?"Asked Bakora."Your stupid brother went to find that ugly old skeleton guy." "My brother's not stupid!!How about you say that to my face?"Bakora leaned close to Mokuba."Your Brother's stupid."Mokuba's rage grew.He pounced on Bakora with a sharp,pointy stick grasped in his small hand."I'll stab you!!"He called."Right in the eye!!"Bakora wretled Mokuba's arms away.He grabbed Mokuba's stick and plunged it toward him.Mokuba got up as fast as he could,and without thinking twice,hopped on Mocha,the horse.He kicked the horse,who got up and galloped off at breakneck speed."Come back here and fight like an Englishman!!"Bakora spat.He got up and dusted himself off.This was a fine mess. Kaiba was on his way be when he saw Mokuba and Mocha coming toward him."What the?!"He asked. "Bakora's on a murdering rampage!!"Mokuba shouted,almost running into Princess.Kaiba laughed."I'll bet you started it,huh?"Mokuba looked at the ground."Seto,thats not the point.The point is,we have to leave Bakora forever."Kaiba rolled his eyes and urged Princess to walk."Why are we going back?"Mokuba asked."He's a killer--a ruthless killer."Kaiba turned around."Bakora?You've got to be kidding.He faints at the sight of ketchup,for crying out loud."Kaiba walked forward,leaving Mokuba alone.He quickly followed.Bakora was laying on the ground.His eyes were wide. "Uh....Bakora?"Kaiba said.Bakora didn't answer.He layed on the ground.Kaiba looked at his chest.It was moving up and down.Kaiba plopped off Princess,and kneeled down beside Bakora."What the he** is wrong?"Kaiba asked.Bakora sat up.He held out his arm.There was a long,deep gash.
"You're so dumb."Rex said."Why did you want to make me look so foolish?It's probably on TVs all across the nation,now.I was better off with Kaiba." Mai was hurt."I just wanted to do a partner show with you!"She said."I thought if maybe I watched you,I could learn too.I thought you could teach me." That gave Mai an idea.What if he could each her? "Hey!!"She said.Rex looked up and crushed a soda can."What?"He asked. "Maybe you could give me singing lessons!!"Rex smiled and laughed."Yeah,right.Like I can teach YOU to sing.Its worse than 75 alley cats in mating season." Mai grunted."You could try.I gave you painting lessons!You owe me!"Rex was silent."I guess maybe you could learn to sing--at a maximum--of 3 alley cats in mating season."He grumbled,finally."But don't blame me if you can't learn.I was born with the gift."Rex's mad face returned to normal.His eyes went back wide and pinpointed. "OK."He said."We can use that microphone I found in the trash behind the studio."He said.He grabbed it and gave it to Mai. "Sing a "D" for me."He said.She sang it.It was cracky and wavy.He tried to fingure out what they needed to fix."Sing it again."He ordered.She reapeated it,louder.It was still ugly sounding. "OK."he said."I think I know what you need to do on this note." Mai nodded."What?" "Even out your air and don't blow it all out at once.Keep it still so it doesn't waver,and once youve set your throat,don't change it or you sound like a broken radiator.Ready?" Mai nodded and sang the note.It was pretty good,but not as good as Rex. "You didn't do it good enough."He said."Try again."She did.It was perfect.It was the most beautiful noise Rex had ever heard."Thats great!"He said."Marvelous!!"He clapped."Now,let's work on the other notes."
"We're about to take off."Tea informed."Are you OK?"Yugi was plastered to his first class seat,shaking and sweating horribly.He was extremely afraid of airplanes,and he had a window seat."Why didn't you tell me you didn't want a window seat?"Asked Tea."Now,it's too late to change."Yugi nodded and looked down at the ground.The wheels on the plane began to turn."Uh oh......."He said and gulped.Tea felt the plane jolt as it began to move."Yugi,isn't it exiting?"She asked."We're going to England!!"Yugi nodded. "Prepare for takeoff."Said the intercom as the plane moved faster and faster. Soon,it was struggling to get in the air.Yugi felt tears tease at his eyes but he held them back.He tryed to shovel Jell-O into his mouth but his arms were quivering too badly.The plane bounced once more,and,finally,lifted into the air.Yugi clasped his hands over his eyes.Out the window,the ground was rushing away at a high speed.The runway had diaappered.Yugi felt like they were totally vertical. When the plane evened out,Yugi unbuckled himself and tore for the bathroom.Barf was bubbling up in his stomach.He reached inside and went in a stall.Everything tumbled out.unfortuatly,so did his millinium Puzzle.The plane hit a sharp dip,and it began to roll."Come back....."Yugi croaked,more barf landing in the toilet.He wiped his mouth and began to run after the Puzzle.An old man in the aisle picked it up."Look at this awkward peice."He said."How much do you think it's worth?"His wife shrugged,so he began to shove it in her purse."Thats mine!!"Yugi shouted.It startled the man so badly,the puzzle flew from his hands and down the aisle.Yugi took a deep breath and began to follow it. It stopped at the feet of a six-year old.She picked it up and squeezed.The plane hit another dip,and the puzzle peices flew apart.They each flew in different spots.Yugi knew there were 25 peices to the puzzle.He found ten right under the girls chair.An old man was holding three,and asked Yugi if they belonged to him.Yugi nodded and took them. He grabbed 7 out of a sleeping man's lap.four were in Yugi's food.One left.Yugi whipped his head around and saw it,right in front of the cockpit door.He began to run toward it,but a hand reached out and grabbed it."Excuse me,but thats mine."Yugi said,grasping the other peices."Can I have it back?"Yugi looked at the persons face. "Bones!!"He said."What are you doing here?"Bones didn't answer."Im getting off at Tokyo."He said."Can I have my puzzle peice?"Asked Yugi. Yugi held out his hand forit. "No."Bones said.Yugi was suprised."Huh?"Asked Yugi."But It's mine!!Grandpa gave it to me!!" Bones held it up where the short Yugi coulden't reach."Thats why I want it."He said. Yugi wanted to cry.His puzzle was gone!! Yugi jumped up and down."Give me my puzzle peice!!"He said.Bones laughed.He ran down the aisle with it.Yugi gave the other peices to Tea and decided to chase him.Tea walked into the bathroom,and yug heard a gunshot.Him and Banes stopped.Bones dropped the puzzle.
"What happened to your arm?"Mokuba asked."Its all cut up!!"there was a cut on Bakora's main vein and running down into his elbow.You could see the bone in one place.Bakora howled as Kaiba touched it.he slapped Kaiba's hand and ran away."Don't touch me!!"He shouted."Just tell us what happened."Said Kaiba.Bakora walked back."uurrrrrrrr........"he said.He was scared to say anything. "Aw,you."Mokuba shouted.Bakora doean't feel like being talked about right now,so we're going to move on,OK?
"Mai,thats great!!!"Rex said.he smiled."That was really great!!"Mai smiled back.She felt something between them.Suddenly,she heard something."What was that?"She asked.Rex shrugged."I didn't hear anything."He said.Mai was still pretty sure she heard it."Theres someone watching us."Mai said. "GO AWAY OR ILL KILL YOU!!"Rex shouted.He turned toward Mai."Happy now?"He asked.Mai nodded.She belted out a "C".Rex clapped."Bravo,Bravo,very ni--" Rex pitched forward with a large hole by his right temple.It was oozing blood.There was a club on the ground that had just been thrown."REX!!!!"Mai shouted."Rex,speak to me!!Are you alright?"Rex groaned and rolled over."Yes.....yes....I'm just fine....."He said.His voice was croaky.But,he wasen't hit hard enough to die.(good.)"Oh,Rex!!!"said Mai."I never thought it would end like this!Im sad,so sad,so very very sad sad sad!!This is not the way I hoped my singing lesson would turn out!!!"She stopped mumbling when she realized Rex was not hurt enough to die.She sighed a sigh of relief."Let's get going."she said.They began to walk again.Rex swooned and fell over."I need a.....doc....."He said.Mai was hoping these words woulden't come out of his mouth."O-OK,Rexie."She said."Don't.....call....me.....Rexie."He said.Mai didn't no more.She grabbed her cellphone,and called Dr.Killalot."Hello?I need to make an appointment for Rex Raptor."said Mai,into the phone.The secretary was silent.She heard her say in the background ,to the other secretarys,'Rex Raptor's coming in!!!'All the secretarys cheered."What happened?"the secretary asked."Well,he got clubbed in the head."said Mai."Okay,bring him right in!!!"said the secretary,hanging up.Mai closed her cellphone."Rex,they want you in right now.But I don't know how I can get you in there.I-"She was suddenly overcome by an idea."TAXI!!!!"She shouted.A black and yellow car drove up."To the doctor's office."Mai said.The Taxi sped off.Rex could barely keep his head up.He fell asleep halfway there.Blood leaked all over Mai's outfit because thats where his head was resting.His snowcap rolled off his head.He really looked quite cute asleep.He was quiet for once. When they reached the office,Mai slapped back on Rex's hat and helped him walk into the office.As soon as a nurse saw him,they lead him and Mai into a room. "Alright,what happened here?"She asked.Groggily,Rex tried to explan."A....club...BAM.....head...hurty....."Rex fainted on the table.The nurse clasped on a blood pressure machine and pulled out a Tetunes shot.She injected the needle into Rex,and the pain awoke him."Mai......"He said."Whats wrong wit me?"Mai shrugged."Maybe brain damage or cuncussion?"Rex began to cry.He didn't want brain damage."Don't cry."Mai said.She decided to sing Rex a lullaby.It was horrible.Rex winced everytime she hit a high note,but said nothing."If I have brain damage,will I get surgery?"Asked Rex in the middle of Mai's song.She looked away."yes,But it won't be too bad.At least you'll be cured.You won't have to be hurt anymore."Rex nodded."But one more question.Who clubbed me?"Mai thought.She remembered a flash of a person,who had a long black mask on his face.Rings sparkled on his fingers.Mai described him.Rex nodded. "We ran tests."Declared a nurse,stepping inside."He has a cuncussion.He should be fine in about 2 days.Until then he'll remain in emergancy care to watch and see if any vomiting develops."Rex and Mai nodded.
Later,in the emergency room..........
"Whats on TV?"Rex asked,reaching for the remote."OH!!"Mai said."As The World Turns!"Rex groaned.He hated it,but he turned it on anyway. "Oh,jacklene.I....I.....I'm a homosexual.Or maybe a BiSexual." "No,Martin,It can't be!!Its not possible!!" Mai gasped."So he was gay....."She said."I suspected as much."The show ended.The advertisment for racing tickets flashed on TV. rex was asleep in the bed.Drool was leaking from his open mouth and his hat had rolled from his head and on to the floor.Mai picked it up and put it on the bed.Her stomach grumbled.She decided she'd step into the food court to get something to eat.But,she had to write a note for rex in case she got back.
Rex, I went to get somethin' to eat i'll bring you back a hotdog.
Love ya, Mai
When Rex waked up,Mai was gone.There was a yellow peice of paper with a drawn red heart on the bottem so Rex picked it up to read it.It was hard for Rex to read.It was blurry and distorted.It said what is indicated above."MMm..........Hotdogs."Rex said.He clicked on the TV to Love and Marriage.It was the one where they want to have a family fun weekend and the dad has to work at a conveniance store to pay off 12 dollers. When Mai came in with a burger and a Hotdog,Rex was laughing at the way the wife talked."Hello,Rex!!"Mai gushed.She set the hotdog by Rex and unwrapped her burger.Mai looked at the TV and ate the hamburger while watching.When the wife said,'Bernie,auntie Sarah died.'Mai laughed so hard she spit up a mouthfull.Rex turned his head."EW!!"He laughed.Mai looked down at the chewed up matter to wrap it up,and inside was.....HALF A WORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"Mai screamed at the top of her lungs."AAAGHHHH!!!AGGHHHHH!AGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Rex turned around."Mai,whats wrong?"He asked.She pointed to the burger."Oh.,....."He mumbled,and pushed the nurse button."What can I do for you?"Aske a croaky,cracky voice. Rex explained."I'll be right there."Said the nurse.Mai was laying at the foot of Rex's bed,in a daze.Rex examined her face.Her tongue was hangin' out and she was groanin'. "Snap out of it,Mai!!!!"Rex said.She sat up so fast she whopped Rex in the eye. "Ow."He said."Sorry."Mai said.
"Don't stitch me!!"Bakoo shouted to the doctor.The doctor was on a road on the way to Kaiba's hometown."Ryou,you'd better calm down or we'll have to tranquilize you." Bakora waved his arms."No!!!"He shouted."I won't let you!!"The doctor grabbed his arms."For the last time,Bakora,calm down."Bakora rolled off the bed.The doctor,thinking fast,grabbed a tranquilizer shot and tossed it.It injected into Ryou's arm.He immediatly fell asleep.The doctor sewed up his gash."Hmm....He said."It looks as if it was done by a.....serated knife.And how its on the main vein like this....."The doctor gasped.He walked outside to tell Kaiba and Mokuba the news. "I'm afraid your friend Bokora had ateempted suicide."He said.Kaiba gasped and stood up."Whoa."He said."Back up.Bakora loves himself!!He's handsome,nice,has 7 girlfriends,loves to talk,and lastly,he's got great friends.If I know Bakora,which I do as my best friend,He would never kill himself.Why,he might even love himself more than he does Mai valentine!!" The doctor got a strange look."Mai Valentine?She's right down the hall in the emergency warden!!"He said.Kaiba's eyes widened."What happened to her?Is she OK?" The doctor nodded."Oh,not her.It's not her thats hurt.Its that former DJ,Rex Raptor." Mokuba,who was playing with busy beads jumped up."I wanna see him!!"The doctor nodded,and told Mokuba the room.Mokuba ran into it.Kaiba could hear Mai gush with exitement. Kaiba followed the doctor into Bakora's room,who had just woken up."Bakora,did you try to kill yourself?"Asked Kaiba.bakora's face brightened."Me?Kill Myself?I love myself.I;m the greatest guy on earth.Why kill myself?"Kaiba flashed an I-told-you-so look at the doctor."Ok."The doctor said."Who did this to you?" "Not tellin'." "Uh...OK.Gimme a clue." "Not tellin!!!!" "Uh....hair color?" "NOT TELLIN!!" "Eye color?" "NOT TELLIN!!!" The doctor's hair was blown back from the yell."Uh....You can leave now,Bakora."Said the doctor."And,your friend Mai's right down the hall."Bakora's eyes widened."MAI?" He asked."why didn't you say so?"He ran down the hall so fast smoke came. Kaiba followed,but quite a bit slower. "Hello,Mai!!"Screamed Bakora.Mai stared at the sewed up gash."Um..hello Bakora,but why isn't there a bandge on that?" Mai glanced at Mokuba and Rex,who were watching Spider Man. "Because the doctor wanted me to leave real fast."bakora said.Mai nodded and gave him an ace bandage."What happened to you?"She asked as Kaiba entered the room. Bakora was about to explain. "Hi,Kaiba!!"Said Mai as he was starting."Have a seat!!" She got up.Kaiba,without a word or expression,sat down in the seat.Mai sat down on the foot of Rex's bed. "So.....How ya feelin',Rexie?"Asked Bakora."#1,don't call me Rexie.#2,I feel like crap."Rex said.bakora nodded."Oh."He looked at the TV and began to watch it.Kaiba stared at the floor with a blank look.When a big fat guy eatin spaghetti came on,everyone laughed.Not Kaiba.When a commercial for Tampax came on,everyone cracked up.Not Kaiba(Or Mai,of course.Why would a girl find that funny?). When The fat man died,everyone laughed.Even Kaiba.Just a little. "Whats wrong with you,Seto?"Asked Mokuba in a minipulative voice.kaiba shrugged.Bakora snorted.Everyone laughed.Not Kaiba. Bakora chopped off a barbie's hair.Nobody laughed.He cut the straps off her dress.The boys stared,but no o0ne laughed.Bakora melted her in the microwave.Rex yawned. "WAHTS THE MATTER WITH EVERYONE?"Bakora asked. "Maybe its just that YOU'RE NOT FUNNY?"Mai shouted.Bakora was hurt.He went into the bathroom,and locked the door. ***
Hours later,Bakora came out of the bathroom.He had been crying."Uh,was it soemthin' I said?"Asked Mai."Um,yeah."Said Bakora.Mai laughed."HA HA." "One time,my dad laughed at me.He laughed and laughed.I got so mad,I decided to get revenge.So you knoe what I did?I clogged the toilet.It took him forever to figure out it was a dalmation puppy toy.Those are just big enough to cause major blockage.You know?And they're so cute you can just name them.Spot,Dotty,Lacy,Lucy,Lou,Anything."You know,I--" "Bakora!!Shut up!!"Shouted Kaiba.Everyone went silent.Kaiba got up."Uh...sorry."He said."But don't you all get a little TIRED of hearing Bakora's mouth?"The majority nodded.Bakora did nothin.He just looked at the ground."I have no friends."He said.Kaiba rolled his eyes."Yes you do.But you talk like..like....a broken record.If you'd shut up once i a while,more people would like you." Bakoo was so sad he slumped out.He ran into a boy with kindey problems and caused him to wet himself."Uh.....Hello."Bakora said."My names Bakora.One time,I wet myself.It was all yellow and all over the bedsheets where I was playing my Gameboy.Do you like Gameboys?I like Gameboys.I have 17 games.Kaiba got them for me.One of them is Pokemon Yellow.I like Pokemon yellow.It has Pikachu,and--" The boy screamed and ran away."Wonder what his problem is?"Asked Bakoo to himself.Then he decided he was too old to pout,so he went back into the room.They were reading a comic book(All except Kaiba)And laughing at a funny part.Rex put the bedsheets over his head and let out a long,whiney moan. "I'm tired."He said."Go away.Get off my bed."He whined again.Mokuba whined back.Rex whined louder.So did Mokuba.They kept moaning at eachother.It was really irritating Kaiba.He was so irritated he was about to explode into a thousand peices. "STOP!!!!" He shouted,so loud that the building shook.Everyone shut up.Mokuba began to cry. "MOKUBA,YOU LITTLE BRAT!!SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!"Mokuba sniffled. Everyone was staring at Seto,with a look of amazement."Whats the matter with you?"He asked,desgusted."I was irritated with my little brother's whining!And Rex--he's fifteen years old and sounds like he's two!!" Mai stepped up in Kaiba's face."You shut up!!"She said."Rex is tired and his head hurts.Its all these people's faults--except Mokubas,and including you--(Bakora was hurt)That he had to whine!!"She slapped Kaiba across the face. "Never strike me!!"He shouted,and socked Mai in her lip.She clumbered on to the bed into a heap.Bakora stood in the corner,whimpering."Mai?"He asked."Are you OK?" Kaiba shifted angry eyes at Bakora."I thought you were my friend?"He said. Bakora stepped out of the corner."I am your friend.Its just that--uh--you hurt her,and uh-" "Bakora,shut up.I don't care.Who would want a ladies man who talks like a leprechan to be thier friend?" Bakora sputtered,but didn't back away."Are you OK,Mai?"He continued.She looked up and nodded.Blood was splattered from her lips,which were coated in purple lipstick. Rex was in the bed,silently laughing to himself.Mokuba was hiding under the covers. Tears leaked from his eyes.he looked at Mai's lips."You hurt,her,Seto!!"He shouted,on top of everyone elses voices.Kaiba looked at Mokuba."Be quiet now."He said."Let's go.We aren't wanted here.Or maybe you are,but not me." Kaiba grabbed Mokuba's fat arm and drug him out into the open.Mokuba didn't say anything. Kaiba looked at him with hate-filled eyes.(Not for him,but for other people)Mokuba started to cry."I want back in there!!"He shouted,and broke away from Kaiba.He raced down the hall,without one look back. Kaiba was amazed.His own brother was afraid of him!!A thought hit him in the head.Maybe it was the murder of Joey?Maybe Mokuba suspected him after striking Mai?Besides,you weren't supposed to hit girls.Maybe Mokuba thought Kaiba would go a step farther. An old lady walked by,and Kaiba laughed at her age and looks.That got him thinking.Even if he didn't murder Joey,would he ever murder someone?Kaiba shut his eyes tightly and wiped the thought from his mind.A nurse walked by and smiled at him,and Kaiba forced a smile back.If Mokuba was afraid he was a murder,than Kaiba would have to prov ehe wasn't.He had to find out just who DID kill Joey.But that ment leaving Mai,Rex,Bakora--and Mokuba.He would sound a little nuts if he walked in the room and said,'Hey,Moku,whats up.Oh,and by the way,do you think I'm a murderer?' Kaiba began to walk down the hall and out the doctors office door,when a voice stopped him. "Kaiba!"It said musiclly.Kaiba turned around.Bakora's handsome self was running toward him."Where are you going?"Asked Bakora."Your not a runaway." "Not hardly."Kaiba said."But I was thinking--what if Mokuba thinks I killed Joey after what just happened to Mai?I mean,it's clear that I have the guts to hit a girl,so what if he thinks I would go a step further?" Bakora shrugged."I don't know."He said."Whaddaya askin me for?" Kaiba shurgged."So,I was thinking.Why don't I find the murderer,and prove to Mokuba that I woulden't do such a thing." Bakora shook his head,screwig up his hair."Nuh-uh."He said."Your crazy."His accent was horrible on the word,'crazy.' Kaiba shook HIS head."Nope."He said."I'm gonna find him.Just like Yugi tried to--and know he's going to England with some crazy,pokey-butted girl." "Really........"Bakora said in a trailing off voice.Kaiba could see Bakora thought he was off his rocker.Kaiba nodded."So.....do you want to come?"Bakora thought."But Mai........."Kaiba heard Rex's voice from his room. "That Kaiba guy can be such a jerk.He'll never get married.He'll drive all 16 of his wives away after the first half hour!!" When Kaiba heard this,his eyes pinpointed and he walked briskly out the door.He could hear Bakora's heavy breath following. Bakora could hear Mai say,"REX!!That was uncalled for." Bakora stopped at the sound of her voice.His mind was filled of fantasy.He pitched forward onto the ground. "Bakora?"Kaiba asked."Are you alright?"He helped Bakora to his feet. "I'm fine."Bakora said.A newspaper brushed against his head and he grabbed it.A familer name caught his eyes and he read.
Local Girl(Tea Gardner)Is shot Yesterday,a girl from this town was shot on a plane to England.She was accompanied by Yugi Motou,the only duelest to ever beat Seto Kaiba."She was my second friend killed."Yugi recalled,crying during his interveiw. While in the baythroom applying make-up,Tea was suprised and shot by someone.Since she was in a public restroom,it could have been either sex.Tea was not good looking,as officials say,so she wasn't torured for rape refusal.After the gunshot,locals say they saw a young man of about twenty with a ski cap over his head run from the bathroom.If you have any info on this crime,call 1800-crime TV.
"Wow."Bakora said.He handed the article to Seto,who read it."Wha?"He said when he reached the part about her being shot.His eyes got a weird look and he crumpled the article."This should be proof for Mokuba that you didn't do it."Bakora said.He was very weird looking,as if he had seen a ghost."First Joey,now Tea."He mumbled. "I know it's proof."Kaiba said."But I still want to find out who killed them.I didn't know Tea too well,But I did know Joey." "Bakora gulped."Your right."He said."Tea and Joey were my friends.Let's go get Yugi from the airport,and then look."Kaiba shook his head."You stay with Mai,rex and Mokuba.Don't tell Mokuba where I am.Just say I'm on a little trip." bakora nodded.Kaiba untied Mocha(Who was now a fully grown horse)And galloped off.
Yugi held his puzzle in trembling hands.His head was sweating,and he was crying silenty."I'm gonna go bonkers....."He said."First Joey,now Tea."Yugi was afraid he was going to go mad from two of his friends dying in a period of two months."I wonder if there's some type of.....connection between this.I mean,its all people I know." He sighed."But then again,its all people Kaiba,Bakora,Mai and Rex know.Whoever it is could be getting revenge on them by killling thier friends."Yugi's hand shot to his mouth."That means--I could be next."He thought about this for a moment,when his phone rang. "Hello?"He called into it,his voice cracking. "Hello.Its Kaiba." Yugi's face brightened."Didja hear?"He asked. "Yes."Kaiba said."I just wanted to tell you I'm coming on a white horse to get you.Be waiting." "OK."Yugi said."I've been thinking.All the people dying are our friends.They could be getting revenge on either one of us." "Yeah,"Kaiba said."But Mai,Rex,Mokuba,Bakora and Bones all know them too.It could be getting Revenge on them,and thats why i'm searching." "Searching for what?" "The murderer.If I can find im' maybe he won't kill me or you or Bakoo or Zabumafoo." "OK."Yugi said."Bye."He hung up the phone.He started to twiddle his thumbs and wait.He was at an airport in Kaiba's hometown because the flight attendants gave him a free ride home after the loss of his friend.Yugi decided he'd put together his Puzzle again.He grabbed a rather large peice with an eye on it,and clasped it to another peice.Soon,he heard a voice."Hello."It said.He looked up into the face of Weevil,again.He was much cleaner,and had a mean looking dog on a leash. "Weevil!!"Yugi said."Your not a bum anymore!!"Weevil nodded."I found a job at the marketplace.Since I turned 16 last week they let me in in a flash.Besides,I'm good at duel monsters,so I could put on shows and demonstrations to attract even more money." Yugi screwed up his face."But you use bugs.Who wants bugs in a supermarket?" Weevil growled."Shut up you!!"He said."Nobody asked.It's the market's problem,not mine."Yugi drew back."Did you hear about T-t-Tea?"He was stuttering on the word Tea. Weevil laughed in Yugi's face."Do you really think I would care after all the mean mean crap you pulled?"Yugi had to think about it."Uh....No?"He said.Weevil nodded,and before Yugi could hold himself back,He punched Weevil right in the stomach.Weevil had rock-hard abs,and it didn't hurt him too bad.He got right back up and twisted Yugi's arm. "Ahhhhh!!!!"Yugi called.He pulled his arm free and grabbed Weevil's large nose.He twisted it 3 times around,breaking it. "AGLYGLUHKJKLNLN!!!!"Weevil cried.Blood poored into his hand,which he wiped across Yugi's shirtfront. "Yuck!!"Yugi said.He puched Weevil in the broken nose.Weevil cried out,and kicked Yugi in the head.Yugi fell to the ground.Weevil stepped on his......place. "Its the end!!"Yugi said,in pain.Weevil jabbed a fist into Yugi's stomach right as another fist joined in.In puched Weevil in the back of the head so hard teeth flew out.Then,two solid hoofs collided with his head,knocking him down.Yugi pulled himself up."Kaiba,....."He croaked.Kaiba was sitting on his horse.Weevil sat mumbling on the ground."There goes my career....."He said,tending to a cracked head.Mocha kicked Weevil's glasses,and glass broke off into his large eyes.The large dog that Weevil was carrying went nuts.It began to run toward Yugi and Kaiba. Kaiba grabbed Yugi's arm and pulled him onto Mocha. "Go go go!!"He shouted to the horse,which bolted off.The dog,which was very expensive,kept up with Mocha and snapped at his heels. "Kick him!!"Yugi said."With your feet!!"He grabbed the horse's hind legs.He quickly drew back when the horse turned around and reared up at the dog.It brought it's feet down hard on the dog's head,killing it. "Alright!!"Kaiba said.He was happy.He saw his tall house in the distance."Let's go there for a while!!"He said."Then we can find the murderer!!"Yugi nodded. They raced towrd the house.
