Mindless Babble:

"The sixth ones the charm!"

"You said that about the third, fourth and fifth ones, Joey," said Yami softly. He still looked like death warmed over, but he was walking unaided now. Tea still hovered next to the spirit, ready to help him.

"Yeah, but it's …" Joey stopped in mid-sentence, as Yami stumbled, clutching his head. Tea reached out to him but he brushed her off. He straightened, seemingly completely healed. There was a fire in his eyes that spoke of anger and vengeance.

He stalked to the elevators with the others following at safe distance. The car was already there so the door opened as soon as Yami called for it. They all piled in and watched the numbers count up. They stopped at 14.

Tea put a hand on Yami's shoulder. "Are you sure you're up to this?"

The spirit turned to look at her. The girl took a step backward. The sorrow that those eyes held before had been replaced by pure anger. Tea was suddenly happy she wasn't on the receiving end of that fury.

Bols came out of the bathroom wiping his hand on a towel. His three brothers sat in the living room, watching TV. Ido, Higuma, and Ushio looked up at their brother stepped into the room.

"Did you remember to clean the blood out of the sink this time?" asked Ushio.

"Yes, Mommy," replied Bols throwing the towel at his brother. "I just need to figure out what to do with the body."

"What about our darling sister?" questioned Ido, from his position on the couch.

"Aw, she'll be up in an hour or two. I didn't hit her that hard."

Bols had just sat down, when the door to their room flew off it's hinges. Standing in the doorway was Death incarnate. Three other people stood behind him, mouths gapping in shock.

Yami strode into the room, his black coat flowing behind him. Almost unconsciously, he took out his deck of cards and shuffled them once. He looked at the top card and smiled. There was no joy in that expression, only vengeance.

He walked up to the three sitting on the couch. "Since you seem to want money so bad, I will give it to you!" The eye on his forehead shone brightly as Yami cast his spell, "Greed, The Illusion of Avarice!"

The eyes of the three men glazed over as the Spirit of the Millennium pulled back. In seconds the former robbers were grasping at non-existent bills. Yami grinned fiercely. He turned his sights onto the last male member of the gang.

"I can sense the blood on your hands! Sadly, it is not just the blood of my Aibou. There is the blood of others there, too, like your sister's…"

Yami heard a snarl of anger from behind him and realized Joey was approaching. The boy cared for his own sister to the point that he could not comprehend anyone voluntarily hurting their own sibling.

"Joey, take Tristan and Tea and find Yugi and this creature's sister," he commanded. "I will take care of this thing that has the gall to call itself a man!"

"Sure, Yami. Just make sure you take care of him real good!" Joey growled.

The blond turned to his two companions and motioned them to follow him. He noticed that Tea seemed unable to move, her eyes transfixed on the three men who had seemingly lost their minds. Joey gently took her hand and led her into the next room, closing the door behind him.

The first thing he noticed was the woman slumped against the wall next to the door. Her long, light brown hair hid most of her facial features, but the blood that flowed from the back of her head was easily noticeable.

"Tea, check her out. Tristan, check the bathroom and I'll check the rest of this room."

It took a few minutes to find their friend. Yugi had somehow managed to roll under the bed. Joey gently pulled him out and called to the others. He studied the broken body that now lay in his lap. It was obvious that Yugi had been brutally beaten, but it was the severity of the injuries that shocked him. Both of the boy's legs had been broken and his left arm had been crushed. One side of his face was so swollen that the eye was almost lost. Blood soaked his hair and clothes. Joey could tell his friend's chest hardly rose.

Tea's hand on his shoulder brought him out of his shock. "Come on, we have to get him to a hospital," Joey said standing up with his friend cradled in his arms. "Tristan, check to see if Yami is done."

The other boy walked to the door and opened it just a crack. His closed it quickly and turned to look at his friends, his face several shades paler.

"H…he's almost done. I'll get the girl."

"I'll call for an ambulance," said Tea pulling out her cell phone.

Just then, the door opened. Yami stumbled into the room looking for his Aibou. He saw Joey holding the object of his search and tried to walk towards them. He fell in exhaustion half way there. Tea, being the only one without a charge, was by his side in an instant. She draped one arm across her friends back while the other held her cell phone. She quickly gave the hotel's name and the condition of the two unconscious people. She ended her call and looked up.

"They said that they'd be here in about ten minutes. I think we should meet them in the lobby and let the cops deal with … whatever is left out there." She used her head to indicate the living room.

Tristan agreed wholeheartedly, wanting very much to leave the building. It would be a very long time before the images of what he had seen when he opened the door would fade. He picked up the mysterious woman and was surprised to find that she seem to weigh next to nothing.

"What about Yugi? How is he?" Yami asked softly. He seemed so tired that he could hardly even speak.

Joey looked down at the body in his arms and found that he couldn't lie to Yami. "It doesn't look good. He's hardly breathing and he's a bloody mess. He needs serious medical attention quickly."

Tea saw the haunted look come back to those crimson orbs. Sorrow mixed with fear and a touch of loneliness filled his eyes and the tears once again flowed.
