Chapter 14: Doubt and anger
Ryou steped outside the door of his house and slolwy began the decent to the road. Only to be greeted by a face full of snow and a bleach blonde blurr tackling him. Firm well tanned hands gripped his neck as Malik barely managed to choke out the words "Where is Bakura?!" He spoke through gritted teeth, as Ryou felt his Yami taking over, greatly releived to be out of the situation he let his Yami do what he wanted. "Why are you gripping my neck in such a threatning manner Malik?" He spoke in a vocie dripping with sarcasm, "Have I done something to make you angry?" He smirked. Malik however didn't find any of this amusing and neither did Yami Malik who had taken the place of the young egyptain teen. "You know very well what you've done Bakura, and I'll kill you for it!" He almost yelled, the tomb robber smirked "No you won't my dear friend, remember kill me, Kill Ryou." He smirked as the Yami got off of him and kicked the snow in defeat. 'weakling.' He thought to himself as he got up and gave possesion of the body back to Ryou.
________________________________________________________ Noa Kaiba, looked at the sullen tombstones of the former big five of Kaiba Corp. He frowned and then lifted the photograph. "So this is the girl that killed them eh?" The tall body gaurd, Kemo, nodded, "Yes sir." He answered with a frown. "I doubt she even remembers how she did it, innoncent fool." He chuckled to himself as he eyed the picture, a pretty, red haired girl, pale with green eyes, Celestia D. Crawford, more commonly called Danielle for her own requests. "So the invetations have been sent out?" He smirked as he turned to walk away. Kemo nodded "Yes sir, the tournament begins in a week." He smirked to himself as he walked away his hot breath visible in the cold winter air, he had been told once that the only thing in him that was hot was his breath, that person had "Mysteriously" died a few days later. He chuckled as he removed the knife from his pocket and turned to throw the picture, the knife nailing it to a tree, right in the center of the picture, her heart. "Soon both Crawfords will be dead, at the hands of the true Kaiba heir." He laughed to himself at the thought of the beautiful red haired girl his step brother had fallen in love with, and her father lying dead, the gun, or knife that caused their deaths in his own hands. What joy tthe thought brought to him.

Pegasus walked the length of the hallway to the mail slot, two lone envelopes lay on the hardwood floor. Each addressed neatly to Celestia D. Crawford and Pegasus J. Crawford, neither having a return address, and the text typed by computer gave no indication of who it could have been from. Opening the one addressed to himself, his one amber eye scanning the page.
Mr. Pegasus Crawford,
We could like to inform you that you are invited to a tournament to be held approximately one week from the recived date. We would consider it an honnor, please consider, sign-ups are at the local college.
And that was it, no return address, no nothing, it sounded fishy to him, but then again the only people ever to plot against him were now worm chow. 'But a Duel Monsters Tournament, I couldn't even beat a novice duelist without the Millenium eye.' He thought to himself as he scanned the letter once more.
Danielle lay in her bed plucking the strings of the guitar to the tune of the song "Sweet Dreams", staring at the ceiling as if something intresting was there. He had never really come to understand the strange world his daughter lived in, despite the fact that she had regained most of her sanity, she still behaved strangely. She had gone from depressed to cheery, but no matter how she appeared hiding things from him was the hardest thing possible. She had a terrible fear of blood, and despite the way she pretended to ignore them, the voices in her head were there, seldom but still there. "Honey, something came in the mail for you." He said gently tapping of the door frame before entering the room. She sat up and took the envolope her green eyes scanning the paper in a similar manner to her father. "A Duel Monsters Tournament, I'm no very good perhaps they thought because your good that I am also." She remarked with a frown. "Are we going to compete?" He frowned "If you want to." She nodded "I guess, I could use something to do, Yugi and the others will be there, they know your my father, but they still think you haven't changed. He chuckled and sat down on the bed beside her. "Let them think what they want, it's what you think that matter to me." She smiled slightly and put her head on her fathers shoulder. Perhaps it was just her own silly paranioa that made her think that the tournament was a big trap for them both.
