Chapter 9: Back and back *again* to the future

Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba stared in awe at who sat in the leather chair. Yugi still in their arms. Joey's mind gasped no it can't be, there is no way, but it was true in disbelief Joey yelled it's name.

"BANDIT KEITH!" Keith's blue eyes sparkled as a grin spread across his face. He placed his feet to the ground, stood up then pushed the chair away. He took 3 steps towards them.

"It's just as I planned, not interlay, Seto Kaiba would be dead so would that weakling Yugi. They should be dead but shit happens."

"You- you murdered all our friends, WHY?" Joey's eyes narrowed finally maybe he would get the answers he craved like food.

Keith smirked "You really want to know, then I'll tell you. Since the time you dueled my henchmen, I hated you I vowed to destroy you life and those around you. I got my revenge, not yet, but very soon." He stepped towards them again looking down at Yugi, blood caked to his forehead. "I didn't think Yugi there would still be alive, he's one tough customer." SHIT SHIT SHIT Joey's mind yelled at him. He noticed Keith's blue eyes for the first time. (AN: I'm gonna just call him Keith cuz it's easier) I should have known it was that crazed psycho. "Some bad luck you got there Joey." Bad luck, someone said that to him before he couldn't recall whom. Kyle! He knew Kyle or something.

"You know Kyle"

"Of course, he's my step brother"

"Huh?" Seto asked completely confused but he knew the story, "Okay let me get this straight, you were mad because he beat your henchman in a duel. Then you go and kill all his friends, if you ask me that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." Seto grinned at Keith knowing he was correct.

"I didn't ask you so shut the fuck up! Mr. Kaiba do you want me to silence you with my knife?" Seto didn't answer; he just looked down at Yugi. "That's what I thought." Seto turned to Joey who looked hopeless, his usually eyes were dull. Joey looked up to him as Seto mouthed * let's get the hell outta here *.

"I don't think so you three are staying here but not for long" he pulled out a blade from his jacket a smile shooting across his face. He scratched at the hair on his chin with his free hand, "Hmm who to kill first?" He knew "I'll start with little defenseless Yugi, good thing he didn't bring his necklace thing." He spun the knife in his hand. He stopped and tightened his grip on the black handle. He stepped closer.

"No" Joey spoke almost too soft to hear "Take me, don't hurt him. Kill me, let them go and you can do what ever you want with me." Keith nodded at what he said; it was a nice idea.

Seto defended his new friend "No, you can't do that" his forehead creased. He couldn't let him die like this, giving in, no, he wouldn't; he couldn't.

"Yea I can, take Yug, get outta here all right. Trust me" Seto nodded, now understanding.

"See you later Wheeler" Seto sent him a forced smile. Joey handed Yugi over to Seto. He turned moving as fast as he could, dang; Yugi weighs a lot more than you would think.

Keith waved to them "Bye boys, I'll see you soon cuz after I'm done with him you're next!" He diverted his attention to Joey. "Brave move kid but it isn't going to save you. I've been thinking about this *anything* and I've decided to. beat you to death most painful death I can think of and the messiest." He laughed his voice reaching Joey's ears but he didn't hear them all he could hear was his mind screaming and his heart racing. He stood tall, holding his bleeding forearm. Why am I doing this? Keith stepped forward as Joey walked backwards. He put his icy hand on Joey's hand that was holding the gash on his arm. It started as a sting and quickly turned to agony. Pain flared in his arm, falling to his knees screaming. He withered in agony, like a rose away from the sun too long. His fingers cracked under Keith's grip sending more waves of pain through his arm and screams from his mouth.

Seto turned looking up to his house, Joey's scream echoed into the night "Oh god" he whispered, he then shook his head clearing his mind, gotta find help.

To be continued.
