............private thoughts

"And that's basically how it happened."

Yami stated after finnishing telling the story to his two friends, Joey Wheeler and Tristen Taylor.

"Wow! Man! Yami!"

Joey replied in a bit of shock.

"I'm glad you and Yug got out of there alright. Any ideas as to who?"

Frustrated, Yami shook his head.

"No. I hate feeling this powerless! I'm suppose to protect Yugi! But how can I against....against THIS!"

Anger, getting the best of him, Yami punched the coffee table in front of him, splitting it in two.

"Hey relax, alright."

Joey stated, scooting a way from the angry pharoh.

"Tristen and I will help ya find da bastard, won't we Trist?"

Keeping a stern face, Tristen quickly nodded.

"Yeah. We'll help."

Help by finnishing him off!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TRISTEN'S POV:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't believe he failed! Well actually I can. He was probally stuffing his fat face with a cherry donut! Fat slob! I knew I shouldn't of trust him. Damn it! Now Yami will be hovering all over that pathetic worm! I'm gonna have to work fast before anyone becomes suspecious. But I'll have to wait until the right moment. For now, I'll just pretend in helping to find the so called killer. Morons. Don't you realize the killer is sitting right here next to you? You would of never suspected one of your own friends, would you Yami? No, you won't, not until it's too late!

NORMAL POV:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Let's not talk about it right now."

Yami stated looking over at Yugi who was chuckling to himself while Bakura tried to silently sneak up to Seto with a squirt gun filled with mustard in hand. Seto however, hearing Yugi, spun around and hit Bakura full face with barbaque sauce. A war yell echoed through out the house as the two now began an all out condiment war.

"I don't want to have to worry Yugi. He doesn't need to be thinking about this."

"I agree Yami."

Tristen replied.

"Perhaps we should wait until the three of us can talk alone."

"I don't know."

Yami replied, frowning.

"With this unseen danger, I don't want Yugi to be alone."

In truth, I don't want him out of my sight!

"But Yug,"

Joey stated coming to his friend's defense.

"You twos got da puzzle right? So if Yug IS ever in any trouble, all you's got to do is POOF and your der!"

"I don't know Joey. I would still rather perfer....."

"If it would make you feel any better, Yami, I can ask Seto if he would let Yugi stay over at his mansion. He has the best state of da art security so he'd be safe der."

"I don't know."

"Come on Yami. You can't baby him!"

Tristen suddenly burst out causing his two friends to glare at him.

"What I mean is, you know he's not going to like you hovering around him every where he goes. He'll need his space and so will you. I agree with Joey. Yugi will definitly be safe at Kaiba's place."

Sighing, Yami nodded in agreement.

"Alright. Go see what Kaiba has to say. But make sure that Baka Tomb Robber doesn't know anything about this! The last thing I need is for him to be on my case for not better protecting my hikari!"

"You's got it Yami."

Getting up, Joey walked away from the group and over to Seto, who was now covered in mustard, relish, mayonaise, and coldslaw.

"I's don'ts even wanna know!"

Joey quickly replied looking over the mess that covered his boyfriend.

Seto only glared over at him, trying to shake the condiments off of his body.

"Baka Tomb Robber! I'll get him for this!"

"You sound almost like Yami."

Joey replied chuckling.

This caused the young blonde to get THE death look. Being as dense as he was, Joey didn't catch the meaning of the look that Seto was giving him. Instead, he just continued on.

"Speaking of which, I need to talk to you, in private."

Irritated, Kaiba sighed, and looked at Joey.

"Must we, know Wheeler? I'm in no mood for chit-chat. I need to plan my next attack!"

Hmmm, perhaps I'll ask Yami if I can borrow one of his Egyptian God cards to sic on Bakura. I'm sure he wouldn't mind when he finds out the reason. Smiling deviously, Seto nodded to himself.

"Ah, yes, perfect! Perrrrrfect!"

"Uh, Seto, are you alright?"

Shaking his head, Kaiba turned his attention back to Joey.

"Of course! Now what do you want?"

Eyeing Bakura, Joey took a hold of Seto's arm and dragged him to the other side of the room.

"Okay, here's how it is. Could Yug stay at yours place for a couple of days?"

"What's wrong with his place?"

Seto asked, obviously not wanting Yugi to stay at his place. He never did like Yugi. Only tolerated him because he was Joey's friend.

"Well, it ain't actually de safest place for him right now."

"What do you mean?"

"Wells, its like dis."

Joey then proceeded in telling him everything that Yami had just told him. Basically how an assasin nearly wiped the two out and when Yami confronted the bastard, told him that he was hired by some kid, but wouldn't say anything more then that.

"So's yous see, wes need Yug's to stay at your place while Yami, Tristen and I try and figure out who this bastard is! And Yami only agreed to allow Yugi alone, if it's at you place. Cause I tolds him about da state of da art security that yous got."

"I don't know Joey. If an assasin is involved.......I don't think...."

"AH......PWEASE!"

Looking over at him, Joey gives him his droopiest, saddist no one can resist puppy eye look.

"No!...Must....resist....puppy......"

Seto stammered, clutching his eyes shut a bit to late. Finally after some struggling with himself, he finally gave up and agreed.

"But only for three days. After that, he's out! Got it!"

Smiling, Joey leaned up and pecked Seto on the lips.

"Got it. And perhaps later, this puppy can teach it's master a new trick!"

"Must we wait?"

Seto asked deviously looking around suspisiously at the other guest.

"Yes. Nows go clean your self up. Yous a mess!"

"Baka Tomb Robber!"

Chuckling, Joey left, returning back over to where Yami and Tristen were.

"Well?"

Yami asked impatiently as soon as he saw Joey walking over towards them.

"It's alright with him. But only for a few days."

"Well then it's settled."

Tristen replied, a far off gaze in his eyes.

"We'll drop Yugi off at Seto's then proceed in this man hunt. Now the question is when do we start?"

"The sooner, the better!"

"Wells, yous guys is staying here tonight. Hows bout tomorrow? Yug can go with Seto when he leaves tomorrow. That sound alright with you, Yami?"

Sighing, Yami glanced over at Yugi, who was now in a deep conversation with Ryou.

No doubt he's telling Ryou about the little incounter in the park. Which means that Baka Tomb Robber will know! Terrific! I wish you would of waited into telling "them" Aibou. I suppose though it's better this way. The more of our friends who know, the more eyes and ears we'll have out, looking for this enemy.

"Yeah. That sounds fine."

Glasping his hands together, Joey smiled widly.

"Now, that's taken care of...........LETS EAT!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, the plan has been made. Yugi will stay with Kaiba for awhile. At least he'll be safe, but for how long. And what does Tristen have planed for our little spiked haired friend? Reviews are the key to the next chappie!
