so look out for a chappy 5 soon, too. Anyways, here's the next chappy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yugi tried taking a step back, but found it impossible, he was frozen with a wave of panic. Before him stood Tristan-nude and showering. Ewww! Tristan appeared not to take notice Yugi at first, then as the purple-eyed boy coughed loudly, Tristan caught sight of him.
"Yugi!" the startled brunnette gasped in surprise, "W-what are you doing here?"
Yugi stood for a moment before stuttering, "Well, Tristan, this is my room..." His voice trailed off as he looked up and down Tristan with great interest. "-But wait! What's the blood on the floor coming from?" Yugi pointed to the red liquid on the floor.
Tristan let out an amused chuckle. "Oh, that? Those are just ketchup stains from my hamburger." Tristan reached to the bottom of the tub and extracted a very soggy hamburger, displaying it to Yugi.
"But why would you be eating a hamburger in the shower?" Yugi asked with a curious gleam in his eyes.
"...I was hungry! And dirty. So I couldn't decided whether to eat with you guys or take a shower, so I decided to eat and take a shower at the same time."
"I see. Well we've all been very worried about, so let's take you to see Tea, Bakura and Joey."
"Can I get dressed first?" Tristan asked solemnly.
"Oh, uh, yeah, sorry!^^'"
Tristan and Yugi knocked on Bakura's door, and almost immediately, it opened. Bakura appeared almost as surprised to see Tristan as Yugi was.
"Tristan!" Bakura exclaimed, taking a step forward, "You're okay. I'm so relieved."
"Yeah, I just got hungry and wanted to take a shower," Tristan explained with his hand behind his head.
"Okay, that's just weird." The voice came from behind the three, belonging to no other than Joey.
"Buddy!" Tristan smiled with glee.
"You freaked us all out, ya' know. Don't just go around disappearin' like that anymore. You made me miss the rest of my meal!" Joey joked.
"Okay, okay, sorry."
"Well let's just go see Tea now, she's worried too," Yugi interrupted, and they made their way to Tea's room.
Yugi knocked loudly on Tea's door, in case she was asleep. No answer came and Yugi knocked again, this time louder. Still silence.
"Should we open the door?" Yugi asked the others.
"Of course!" Joey confirmed.
Joey swung the door open, only to find that there was no Tea-no alive Tea, that is. At the other side of the room, a figure swung limply in the air, with a rope bound around it's neck. It had a horribly misshapen body, from the many times it had been cut, but the members could still make out the person to be Tea.
"YES!" hissed Joey in joviality. The others stared back at him in shock. "U-uh, I mean, noooo!" Joey feigned tears as the others simply stared in shock at their dead friend.
"How?" Yugi uttered.
"Look, there's a note," Tristan pointed out a small black piece of paper scribbled with white ink next to her body. Tristan walked over to the note, grabbed it, and quickly retreated away from the corpse. He read the note aloud to the others:
'Tea sucks.'
~Kaiba
"Oookay," said Tristan, "Well apparently it was Kaiba who killed her."
The group looked at eachother questioningly.
"Kaiba wasn't here, so how could he have killed her?" Yugi asked Tristan.
"Maybe Kaiba didn't kill her," Joey suggested with another sly grin with his hand caressing his chin, "Maybe it was the ghosts and they're trying to frame Kaiba just so they can get away with it."
The others sighed, knowing they should've known what Joey's explanation would be.
"First off," started Yugi with a frown, "There are no ghosts here..." He paused for a moment, thinking about the sounds he heard within the walls and the lights going off, then continued, "Second, even if there were ghosts, they wouldn't know who Kaiba is."
"Fine, then!" Joey said offensively, "Are you suggesting it was one of us?"
The thought shocked everyone. That was the only reasonable explaination, that one of them was a killer. They took suspicious glances at eachother before Bakura spoke up.
"It couldn't have been one of us," Bakura told them with reassurance, "None of us would want Tea to~" Bakura cut himself off as the same thought processed through everyone's head. The instant Joey had seen Tea dead he had rejoiced.
"Joey," Tristan gasped, "It was you!"
"W-what!?" Joey took a nervous step back, feeling the intensity of his friend's accusing stares, "I might not like Tea, but I wouldn't want~"
"Liar!" Tristan shot back, pointing a finger at Joey, "You're the one who invited us all here, you're the one who knows where all the rooms are, and you're the one who was glad to see Tea dead. You're the only possible killer, Joey."
"I swear it wasn't me!" Joey took another step back and gulped hard. They're right, he thought, There's more than enough proof to have reason to blame me...I've just got to play it cool and convince them it wasn't me.
Tristan reached out to grab Joey as Yugi and Bakura made an effort to hold him back. He stopped as they heard the sudden sound of footsteps.
"Do you guys hear that?" Yugi whispered as the others froze, "Someone's coming up the stairs."
"Hah!" Joey laughed, "I told ya' it wasn't me."
"Quiet!" Tristan hushed him.
The footsteps stopped and a dark shadow entered the far end of the hallway. Frozen with fear, the four friends were unable to do anything but to stand and watch. As the figure came nearer, they could finally make it out. It was Kaiba, grinning with malice-and in his right hand he held a butcher's knife eclipsed in blood.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Whoa. That was an interesting ending...Alrighty, that's all for this chappy. I don't personally hate Tea, but I got a request for her death and she wasn't going to really play an important role in this story anyway, so I just got rid of her. I know it's a little short, but oh well. I'll be giving away chibi Paul Muad'Dib(from Dune) and Malik plushies next to reviewers, so review if you get a chance.^^ Atonohou! -^___^-
