Chapter 6
(.) - Yugi's thoughts *.* - Joey's thoughts %...% - Tristan's thoughts . - Tea's thoughts @...@ - Seto's thoughts #...# - Mai's thoughts
Joey was awake, but he didn't come out from under the tent.
*Everyone expects me to be nice or something to them*
He turned on his other side, and became aware of voices floating over through the fabric. The rest of the gang were already up.
"Yugi, what do you think happened to Joey?"
That was Tea's voice, as she set about preparing breakfast.
"I don't know, Tea, but whatever it is, the Spirit sure doesn't like it," he replied.
*Spirit? Can he be talking about a millennium item?*
And then he saw the Puzzle as Yugi leaned over.
*The Millennium Puzzle! I recognize it now. The little punk doesn't know what he's got!*
He got up and crawled out of the tent. Everyone stared at him, but then resumed doing whatever they were.
"Joey. umm, breakfast will - " Tea started, but Joey interrupted her.
"Not hungry."
Strange. It doesn't hurt anymore when he's rude to me.
Tristan came up behind her, and put his hands on Tea's shoulders.
"It's ok, Tristan, really," she turned around to face him.
"This may sound selfish, but I'm almost glad that Joey's like this," Tristan whispered, pulling her close. At first Tea was a little surprised, but then relaxed.
I'm over you, Joey.

"Mistress," the man in a dark cloak kneeled before a figure clad entirely in blue.
"What news do you bring today, Pegasus?" the feminine voice rang in the hall, but the figure didn't stir.
"Everything is working just as you planned," Pegasus replied, "The Millennium Rod is now reacquired, and is currently back in Master Malik's possession."
"Good. Seto Kaiba will learn his lesson yet. What about the Joey character?"
"Bandit Keith was taking care of that end of the operation. It seems like the Siphoning of Souls was successfully completed."
"And Kaiba's girl?"
"She doesn't know what she's done, yet, but her reward more than compensates for the usage of her mind and body."
"What of Kaiba, then?"
"He's still in search for his younger brother."
"Very well done, Pegasus."
The figure rose from the darkness, and descended from the elevation. The pale light of the hall shone on the feminine features, slender shoulders, and waist-long red hair. She looked down at her servant and dismissed him with a wave of her hand.
"Go now, and inform me of further developments."
Pegasus bowed low, and left through the huge doors.

#Finally. All my hard work paid off.# Mai thought, looking at the ten golden stars embedded in her dueling glove.
#Frankly, I don't even know why I had to resort to seduction to get those two last ones.#
Mai furrowed her brow in reflection of the day that she lost her duel to Joey Wheeler. She had made out with him, and then, technically, she raped him. The next thing she knew, she was walking towards the castle to claim her prize. It actually worked out quite well.

"I would have much rather done the job my way, but it's all good, as long as it follows with my Lady Kara's wishes," the low muttering echoes slightly in the empty hallway, where the only other sound was the soft shuffling of the Master's feet. He stopped in front of a big oak door, and knocked twice.
"Who is it?" a firm female voice answered from within.
"Kara, darling, it's me," he tried the door, but it was locked from inside. He knocked again urgently. The door flew open, and he beheld the Mistress, still in her blue robes.
"Malik! I haven't been expecting you back so soon, did something go wrong?"
"Of course not," Malik said, stepping inside. "Everything's fine, don't worry."
"It's just that entrusting such an important task to them - I wonder if it's not a mistake."
"They are loyal, and they'll obey."
"We're so close! Malik, just one more item and we'll have all seven!" she sat down on the bed. "It's just that I'm impatient. There are still many things to be done before we can claim Yugi's Millennium Puzzle for ourselves."
Malik knelt beside her, and stroked her cheek gently.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," he repeated soothingly.
Kara smiled a little, and cupped Malik's face in both her hands.
"You're sweet," she told him, and then pulled them both into a kiss.
