Nefuit: Gomen Nasai, minna-san! I have either been worried sick about White Angel, doing homework, stressing over art, or contemplating. Just to tell ya, Ianoo is basically a reflection of my personality and even looks. I have been depressed for five days, but am okie dokie now! All I needed was to see a good sunrise and listening to Linkin Park ^^

Well, it is very short, but it is due to lack of ideas. Man, they changed Shadi's personality in the dub! Now he matches my version of Shadi ^^

K, think I have a way to end this story, after a little while, hehehe.. Oh, and I have been told I laugh eerily like Yami Bakura, and sometimes even Malik!

Malik: Hmph!

Wishes, for others safety, to at last be apart

"Oh no! Not this!" Ryou exclaimed as he quickly backed into the farthest edge of the wall of the room he had just entered.

"Oh, what a sissy you are!" Malik exclaimed as he approached the dueling station.

"Ianoo, are you sure you should be doing this?" Ryou timidly asked. He had had enough bad experiences with this game in the past, and would do anything to avoid it.

"Well, my Yami has been dormant for quite a while, so one game shouldn't hurt." Ianoo said, but her voice lacked the confidence her words tried to portray.

"Hurry up!" Malik called. By now he had already loaded onto the duelist platform. Ianoo had played many a tournament in this exact same room, none of them having a favorable outcome to her opponents, aside from just loosing the game.

Ianoo sighed as she slowly walked over to the arena and also loaded her platform, opposite of Malik. Isis, who wasn't too wary, ran to get a good seat in the audience; although no one else besides the cowering Ryou was present.

"I have a very bad feeling about this." Ryou said, debating if he should perhaps inform someone, but whom? He very well knew that this was not the right time to invoke the dark powers, even if it happened to be unintentional.

As the duel was about to start, Ryou made up his mind and slowly sneaked out of the room, leaving the battle behind. No one noticed his absence as they were to busy contemplating a strategy.

Ianoo watched nervously as Malik drew his card. She then shrank back when a smug smirk curled on Malik's lips. Not only was she afraid of the card he drew, but more so his expression. Something was definitely amiss.

"And I play.." Malik started, about to play the first card of the game, but was quickly cut of by a steady sound of gentle thumps.

"No! Don't!" A voice nearly yelled as a figure bust through the door to the arena. Malik, in surprise, dropped the card he was about to play.

"What the-" Isis said as she quickly stood and saw none other than Bakura and his other. Yami Malik was also there, but he was singing quietly to himself about his favorite cookies. She decided to ignore him, as always.

"HOW MANY BLOODY ROOMS ARE THERE!" Bakura screamed loudly as he placed his hands on his knees while attempting to catch his breath. Ryou shot him an exasperated look.

Malik's diverted attention to the yelling Bakura was stopped as he violently whipped his head back to the dueling station; as did all members of the room. His fallen card lay silently upon the control panel until a rumbling was heard. The card had fallen into attack mode.

Ryou fell silently to his knees and ducked as a blast of dark energy sent his Yami toppling backwards, knocking down Yami Malik who didn't seem to notice and continued humming happily to himself. Malik didn't fair so well from the blast and was sent flying off of the stadium, colliding harshly with the concrete floor. Ianoo was left dangling off the side. The card disappeared into the forming void. How ironic the omnipotent God card Re was the one to knock off the war.

Nefuit: MUAHAHA! Shortest chapter yet! But I will upload more soon. Stupid bloody homework!

Bakura: Excuses Excuses!

Yami Malik: *sings* And don't forget chocolate chips; choco-choco-chips!

Mina-san: *sweatdrop*

Nefuit: *sigh* Major warning. I have been feeling very depressed and all readers of my story are to suffer from it in the following chapter. I am going to convey my thoughts through poor unsuspecting characters.

Seto: *rolls eyes* Great. Just Great.

Nefuit: *ignores him* Oh, and once the two missing people arrive, Seto won't be so nice anymore!

Seto: Great. Just Great.

Malik: *trying to cover his Yami's mouth but gets bit* OW!

Nefuit: *ahem* Anyways, as I said, if this takes me years, I won't let it rot!

Seto: Great. Just Great.

Nefuit: *knocks on Seto's head*

Seto: Great. Just Great.

Mina-san: O.o?
