~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" everyone screamed, as they started driving down the hill, at a very nerve- racking speed.

"WHEELER! GET UP!" Kaiba shouted.

"MALIK! TURN THE WHEEL!"

Malik blinked, and grabbed Joey's foot, twisting it a bit.

"OW!" Joey snapped, and glared at the tanned blonde.

"I SAID WHEEL! NOT 'WHEELER'S FOOT'!" Tristan shouted.

"NO TIME FOR JOKES, MALIK!" Bakura yelled.

"JOEY! GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!!" Tea screamed. She squeezed her eyes shut, and ducked down, clutching at Yugi.

Bakura grabbed onto Tristan, burying his face in his jacket.

"HEY! TRISTAN! WHAT'RE YOU DOING TO BAKURA?!" Malik snapped.

"NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR THAT!" Tristan and Bakura yelled.

"JOEY! GET UP!" they all shouted. Joey then straightened up.

"WILL YOU ALL QUIT YELLING!?" he snapped.

"JOEY!" Yugi cried, pointing straight ahead. Joey frowned.

"Tea! Why you holdin on to Yuge?"

"You stupid canine! WATCH THE ROAD!" Kaiba shouted, then he ducked down. Joey blinked, and turned around, his eyes widening at the sharp turn coming up; A simple wooden fence lined the side of the road, and it couldn't possibly stop a van from breaking through. And crashing down the hill.

"Oh, that's why..." he quickly grabbed the wheel, and started pushing on the brake, slowing the vehicle down. "When did we start rollin?" he asked, eyeing everyone in the back, through the rearview mirror. No one answered.

Kaiba was trying to calm his nerves, Tea was still shaking, clutching at Yugi's jacket. Tristan was gently holding Bakura, trying to calm him down. Malik, on the other hand, was laughing hysterically, clutching at his stomach, tears flowing down his cheeks.

"He always like this..?" Tristan wondered, aloud.

"Not usually..." Bakura answered, with a shaky sigh, trying to slow his heart back to its regular rate. And he didn't notice Malik's laughter stopping. Or the small glaring contest between Tristan and Malik.

"STOP THE VAN! NOW!" Kaiba hollered.

Everyone turned around, looking at Kaiba, confused.

"UNTIE ME!" Kaiba snapped, as the van pulled to a stop. Yugi obeyed. Kaiba got up, and jumped out of the van. Joey got out, and walked up to Kaiba.

"You okay, Kaiba?"

"YOU! YOU NEARLY GOT US KILLED!" Kaiba shouted. He lunged at the blonde, tackling him to the ground.

"HEY! IT WASN'T ME! GET OFF!" Joey snapped. Both teenagers started to duke it out a bit. Dust flying, from their small brawl.

"Maybe we should mention it was Malik..." Tea said, slowly, watching the fight.

"But then it was me, who pushed Joey down on the pedal..." Tristan pointed out.

"True..." Malik said, with an agreeing nod.

"But Malik, no one asked you to change gears..." Yugi pointed out.

"The voice in my head told me to..."

"Which voice?" Bakura asked, confused.

"The voice that tells me to kill and kill again[1]..." Malik said, with a smirk.

"Your Yami?" The others asked. Malik blinked, then rolled his eyes.

"CAN YOU GUYS HELP A BIT?!" Joey yelled. "GET OFF!" he snarled, and pushed Kaiba's face back. Tea rolled her eyes, and snapped a picture, Kaiba sitting on Joey, which was a pretty compromising position.

"You'll stop now! Or I'll e-mail this picture to everyone I know!" she yelled. Kaiba and Joey froze, wondering what the hell Tea was talking about. Then they glanced at each other.

"What do you think you're doin!?" Joey demanded. Kaiba started to blush.

"Not what you're thinking, mutt!" he snapped, and quickly got to his feet. Joey snickered, and stood up.

"How would you have e-mailed it?" Yugi asked, confused. Tea pointed at Kaiba's laptop that sat like a piece of treasure in the backseat.

"I think Kaiba has internet access on that thing..."

Kaiba glared at her, "you're not using my laptop to blackmail me!" he growled.

"Now who's actin more like a dog?" Joey asked, smugly.

"You're still king, mutt..." Kaiba muttered, and climbed back into the van.

"HEY!" Joey protested. Tea climbed up to the frontseat, "I'll take shotgun..."

"Hey!" Malik protested, "I was there first!"

"Well, now you're not..." Tea retorted.

"Heh, that's Tea's logic for you..." Yugi said, with a small smile. Malik glared at her, then sighed, and slouched down in his seat.

The seating arrangements were changed just a bit. Tristan, Bakura and Malik were still in one seat, but it was now Yugi and Kaiba(now untied) in the other. And Kaiba's laptop had the backseat to itself.

***

"Well? Which way now?" Joey asked, as they came up on a fork in the road. Tea frowned, as she tilted the map left, then right.

"Tea?"

"I'm looking..."

"Tea, maybe you should let me see map..." Yugi offered. Tea turned and glared at him. "Umm... please..?" Yugi added, meekly, shrinking back from the glare. Why was Yugi sitting with Bakura and the others? Simply because he was bored, and Kaiba wasn't much of a conversationalist at the moment.

"I can read maps, Yugi! What!? You think just because I'm a girl I can't read them!?" Tea snapped. Yugi hastily waved his hands around in surrender.

"No! No! That's not what I meant at all, Tea..! It's just I don't think... you... can... read... a map... upside... down..." he said, hesitantly. Tea blinked as she looked at the map, noticing it was upside down. She blushed, and flipped the map over.

"I knew that... I was just seeing who was paying attention... Did you all notice what Yugi noticed?" Tea asked, then she blinked. Everyone was asleep. Malik and Tristan were leaning on Bakura, all of them asleep. Kaiba was leaning up on the back of the seat, behind Tristan, also asleep.

Yugi smiled, "I wanna read the map, because I'm bored..." he admitted.

"Just let him, Tea..." Joey said, impatiently. As he slowed the van to 10km, since he had no idea which way to go at the moment. Tea shrugged, and handed Yugi the map. He smiled, cutely in thanks, and started looking over the map.

"Ummm... guys?"

Joey and Tea glanced back, "what?" they asked.

"Why're the McNugget Buddies on this map... and Grimace and the Hamburgler?[2]" Joey pulled to a fast stop, and whirled around to face Yugi.

"WHAAT!?" he cried. The others quickly woke up.

"What?" they asked, trying not to yawn.

"IT'S ONE OF THOSE KID MAPS!" Tea gasped. She grabbed the map from Yugi, and stared at it in horror. Joey was snickering.

"You were having a hard time reading a MacDonald's map!?" he asked. Then he burst out laughing. Malik soon joined him. Then Tristan. Tea glared at the three of them who dared to laugh at her. Bakura was biting his lip, Yugi knew better. And Kaiba, well, he didn't find it funny. Just kind of pathetic.

"Pathetic..." he muttered, with a shake of his head.

Yugi and Bakura glanced at eachother, nodded, and ducked.

WHUMP!

THUD!

WHACK!

WHAP!

Yugi and Bakura straightened back up, glancing at Joey, Tristan, Malik and Kaiba. All of them were holding the sides of their faces, looking kind of dazed. Tea huffily lowered her purse, and crumpled up the kids' map and threw it on the floor.

"Moving on..?" she asked, impatiently.

Joey shook his head, to clear the ringing in his ears, "we can't go anywhere... I dunno which way t' go..."

Kaiba shook his head, for the same reasons. "I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have came along! I said I didn't want to! But no! You idiots tied me up like an animal and threw me in here!" he snarled.

Malik hit his ear with the palm of his hand a couple times, then smirked at Kaiba, "you're glad to be here... admit it..."

With a roll of his eyes, Tristan climbed past Bakura and Malik, opening the door, and jumped out of the van.

"Tristan, where are you going?" Bakura asked, confused.

"To take a look around..."

Yugi nodded, and jumped out, too. Bakura glanced at the others. Tea was yelling at Joey to stop snickering. Kaiba and Malik got into an argument. Then with a quick nod, Bakura jumped out, and walked up to Yugi and Tristan.

Tristan was looking towards the left. Yugi was looking towards the right.

"What do you see?" Tristan asked.

"Trees... and lots of them..." Yugi said, with a shrug. "How about you?"

"Fields on one side, trees on the other..." Tristan replied. Yugi bit his lip then took a few steps back, covered his eyes with one hand, and started to spin, his hand out-stretched.

Tristan and Bakura glanced at each other. Then shrugged, and looked back at Yugi. Yugi stopped, and was pointing at... a tree.

"And that way is..?" Tristan asked, dryly.

"They way with the trees, maybe?" Bakura suggested. Yugi laughed, and shook his head.

Tristan suddenly got an idea. He jammed his finger in Yugi's face, "YUGI MUTO! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!" he said in a booming kind of voice.

"WHAAT!?" Yugi and Bakura asked, in shock.

Then, in a glow of golden light, Yugi changed, to Yami Yugi. "I accept!" he said, calmly. Then he blinked, glancing around. "Okay... this is weird..." he commented.

"You do know they can be seperate entities, don't you?" Bakura asked, dryly. Tristan blinked, "they can?" Bakura nodded.

"What's going on?" Yami asked, confused.

"We're kinda lost..." Tristan told him. Yami blinked, and glanced back at the van, seeing Joey and Tea, and it didn't look like they were getting along at the moment. Neither were Malik and Kaiba. Wait. Malik?

"Why's Malik here?"

"He was assigned with our group," Bakura answered.

"And he brought the Millennium Rod..." Yami muttered. He grimaced.

"Yes... two other Millennium Items... so close..." Bakura said, slowly. No one noticed the threatening edge in his voice. Couldn't. It sounded too similar with Bakura's usual voice.

"Aren't students supposed to get a driver for school trips?" Yami was asking.

Tristan nodded, "supposed to... but he went kinda nuts, and ran off..." he explained.

Bakura narrowed his eyes, staring hard at Yugi/Yami's Millennium Puzzle. No. Not yet. He'll get it. When they would least expect it. Right now, though, he had to let the real Bakura have most of the control.

"Hey guys! Get in!" Joey yelled, "I'll just take a guess..!"

Malik glanced out, then blinked. Then he went into Yami-mode. He wordlessly got out, and ran at Bakura. Tackling him down.

"HEY!" Bakura yelled. It was then, that Yami and Tristan noticed the sinister tone in Bakura's voice.

"Hey! YAMI B!" Yami Malik said, with a devillish smirk.

"Get off me, you idiot!" Yami Bakura snarled. "You're ruining everything!"

"What am I ruining..? Don't tell me you want to get close to a mortal?" Yami Malik asked, with a smirk, gesturing at Tristan.

"ARE YOU INSANE!?"

"That's the one that Bakura has a thing for... or didn't you know?"

"IDIOT!"

Tristan scratched the back of his head, glancing at Yami, confused. The former Pharaoh shrugged. Then Joey, Tea and Kaiba strolled up.

"A meeting and we weren't invited?" Joey asked.

"Idiot! You're attracting too much attention!" Yami Bakura hissed.

"That any way to speak to your best friend?" Yami Malik asked, with an evil grin.

"Former 'best'... if anything," Yami Bakura muttered.

"Perhaps a trip to the Shadow Realm would help..." Yami said, dryly.

"I think I'll decline, mighty Pharoah..." Yami Bakura said, calmly pushing Yami Malik off of him, and stood up. Yami Malik smirked and stood up.

"Oh yeah... you're the insane guy that controlled me..." Joey said, pointing at Malik.

"Just out of curiousity... you guys lovers?" Tea asked, gesturing at Yami Bakura and Yami Malik.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS?!" they both yelled.

"Hmmm, and here I thought Tristan and Bakura were together..." Joey said, with a shrug.

"When did this become a talk show!?" Kaiba snapped, "I'd like to leave sometime today!"

"You really have to work on that temper of yours, Kaiba..." Yami said, calmly. Then he turned to Joey, ignoring Kaiba's gaping at him. "You're driving?"

Joey grinned, "you bet..."

"Good, then we can leave now..."

"Which way are we going..?" Tristan asked.

Yami glanced at Yami Bakura, "he can tell us..."

Yami Bakura frowned, slightly, "pardon..?"

"Your Ring... you keep boasting about its powers... let's see them..."

"MY RING'S NOT A COMPASS!"

"It's better than nothing..." Tea pointed out, then she nodded.

"It doesn't work that way!" Yami Bakura snapped.

"How'd you find me, then? Back at Pegasus' castle?[3]" Tristan asked. Yami Bakura growled.

"None of your business!"

Yami Malik yawned, "you guys are boring..." then he changed back to regular Malik. Malik glanced around, confused.

Yami Bakura scowled, "leave me alone with the weak mortals then..." he muttered.

"Can we go now..?" Tea asked, impatiently.

"Best idea you had all day..." Kaiba muttered. Still silently seething at Yami. Just a bit.

"Let's just pick a direction and go..." Tristan said with a shrug. The others sighed, but thought that was the best option, for now. And if it was the wrong way, then they can just backtrack.

Hopefully.
