Exactly 1 hour later, Yugi and the gang arrive at the Kaiba's...

Tea: (patting her hair) "Sorry I took so long to come to the door, guys. But my Aunt's pet dog was barking and tearing out every little thing every time I tried to step foot in the shower!"

Joey: (shrugs and winks at Tea) "I-- dunno."

Tristan: "Maybe the mutt was trying to tell you something..."

Tea: (growls at them and points an accusing finger straight to Tristan's chest) "You know what Tristan; it's not very flattering to talk about yourself like that!"

Joey: (laughs)

Tea: (points a finger at him too and pushes him a little) "And YOU! I know YOU'RE not making doggie jokes, PUPPY DOG!"

Joey: (scowls angrily as Yugi and Yami snicker at him)

Joey: "Grrr I'm no dog!! There's no comparison between me and those dogs them Chinese people put on their table as an entree!"

Yugi: "You know Joey..."

Yami: "You really shouldn't flatter yourself, comparing yourself to a dog. You're offending them"

Yugi: (covers his mouth with his hands trying his best to hold back a good laugh.)

Joey: (feeling his anger rising) "Grrrrr...don't start wit dis today!"

Yugi: "Okay, okay I'm sorry!"

Bakura: (steps up and tries to calm them all down) "Come on, you guys. Please try to calm it down!" (he makes sure they're in a cooperative mood before facing the front doors of the mansion) "We shall all go in together."

Tea: "Sounds good"

Joey: "Yeah let's go."

Yugi: (looks up to Yami who had gotten strangely quiet. He tugs on his shirt) "Yami? What is it?"

Yami: (cautiously scanning the area with his eyes the only thing in motion. After a few blinks, he answers) "There's something odd here. I don't sense the Kaiba's presence's at all--especially not Seto's."

Yugi: (smirks) "Seto? Don't you mean 'Majestic_PNS' ?"

Yami: (feels a rush of warmth cascade through him at the mention of Seto Kaiba's screen name. Angered more than embarrassed he growls and grabs Yugi, grinding a fist into the boy's head. He gives him a noogie!) "SHUT IT UP, YOU!!!"

Yugi: (flings his arms wildly and squirms to slip out of Yami's grip) "Ahh! No! Stop!! Yami!!!"

Tea, Tristan, Joey and Bakura: (just stare at them with wary expressions as this continues to go on for about half a minute longer---before Tristan finally knocks on the door. With a creak, it easily opens, as if it wasn't even locked at all. Tristan took a peep in. The place seemed almost completely dark and deserted. What surprised him most was that there were no guards or superiors around. The place looked too....quiet.)

Bakura: (leans forward a bit aad places his fingers on Tristan's back to try and get a look inside.) "It looks really dark in there."

All: (push their way to see through the ajar door)

Bakura: "So, can we go in, guys?"

Once inside... they wander around aimlessly. They left the door open so they could halfway see what they were looking at. As they proceed deeper inside...

Joey: (bumps into something. He feels around to get a guess at what it was) "Hey what's dis? Somethin' feels all hard but smooth...and shapely...."

All:"........"

Yugi: "Yami..?"

Yami: "Don't say it. It's not me."

Joey: "Tea? Is that you?"

Tea: "NO! IT'S BAKURA!"

Bakura:"Wh-What? No it's not!"

Tristan: "Will somebody please find a light switch before Joey loses his virginity to a bunch of shadows?"

Yami:".....Sounds like you were interested."

Tristan: "Cut it out!!"

Then at that moment, the lights flash on and all shield their faces with their arms.

Tea: (hesitantly peeps out) "Hey, what the... MOKUBA?!"

All: (look up at witness the little guy standing before them...but something about him didn't seem quite right)

Yami: "Something is amiss here...."

Impostor Makuba: (bows respectfully to them and comes up with a slick and devious grin) "Welcome. I'm glad you two could make it." (secretly zones in on Yugi and his Yami.)

Yugi: (inches closer to Yami) "Yami..."

Yami: "Worry not, Aibou. I can handle this one."

Joey: (the one to break the serious atmosphere. He looks behind him and finds what he had been feeling on. He found himself face to face with a medium sized vase or urn of some sort. It was made of marble and had many intertwining designs arranged on it) "Hey!! Whatta ya know! It was a vase the whole time!!"

In comical disbelief, everyone fell over.

Impostor Mokuba:" Ahh. Again, welcome and make yourselves at home!"

Yugi: (about to comment, but Yami steps up and says it for him)

Yami: (narrows his eyes in scrutiny) "Who are you...and where is Seto?"

Impostor Mokuba: (flinches at the tone in Yami's voice--it was almost as if he could see right through him. Trying to hide his amazement with a smile, he replies sweetly) "My brother has stepped out, but please stay and enjoy yourselves. He should be here shortly. I have an errand to run as well."

Yami: (sneers as he watches the impostor bow then saunter away---what? Saunter?)

Joey:"Heeeeyy! Mokuba's switchin'!"

Tristan:"Whoo! Shake that tail!"

Impostor Mokuba: (breaks out in cold sweat then shoots a menacing glare towards the two, getting them to shut up on the dot) "Now, make yourselves at home and I shall return."

Tea: "Wait, Mokuba!" Yami:(holds her back)

Impostor Mokuba: (grins) "Please, there is no need for worries. There are some games in the back room. More than just Duel Monsters. Please feel free to look around and touch whatever you like. I'm sure you all can keep your time occupied with that." (with that, he turns, and much more controllably, walks in a straight line)

Yami: (narrows his eyes) "Something is very wrong here."

Joey: (pats Yami on the back and slips an arm around his shoulders) "Dah, forget that for now! Let's check this joint out!"
