" Aaaahhhhh!!!!!"
Joey sat straight up. He was covered head to toe in a cold sweat. The memories of the nightmare he just had where etched into his mind. He breathed deeply and turned his head to look out the window. It was snowing softly and water had begun to condense on the edges of the window. He sighed and climbed out of bed. He looked around the darkened room. He sighed once more as he got out of bed, walked over to his bedroom door, slowly opened, and walked down the black hallway.
He took a few steps to the west and bumped into something. He placed his hand on soft, fern-like hair.
" Lets see. Fern-like hair, short.......," he looked down. " Oh sorry Yug."
" That's okay," replied Yugi.
" So why are you up?" Joey asked.
" Some weird dream," Yugi replied.
" The one where you're in a room, it's pouring rain outside and you hear a blood curdling scream and then you wake up in a cold sweat?" Joey asked in an odd tone.
Yugi blinked at Joey. " You had the same dream?"
" Then you aren't the only ones." Bakura approached them. He was rubbing one eye and appeared to be half asleep.
" So where are we going?" asked Yugi, breaking the silence that had drifted in.
Joey walked over to the room at the end of the hallway. He knocked on the door. After a few minutes, Kaiba opened the door. Yugi walked over and explained the situation. Kaiba was shocked.
" The same dream I just had!" Kaiba exclaimed.
Kaiba let them in as a dark figure ran down the east staircase and into the basement.

Bakura sat up a few hours later. The clock on the nightstand read 3:37 AM. He looked to his right. Yugi slept beside him. Bakura noticed that the covers were missing. He turned and looked over the left side of the bed. Joey, who was quietly snoring, had slipped off the left side and dragged the covers with him. Bakura got up and untangled the covers and attempted to pull Joey back into bed. He was successful but as he moved his legs, he heard something coming up from the basement. He recognized it as the solo he had done in front of the school. He looked around. Kaiba was nowhere in sight.
* It must be Kaiba...*
Bakura turned around and walked out of the room. He climbed down the west staircase and into the basement.

The basement or what Bakura could see of it, looked like some kind of auditorium. He took a few steps in. Before he could realize it, something hit the back of his neck. Bakura fell numb and passed out. The music ceased and the only sounds you could hear was the quiet ripping of fabric.

As the sun rose, Yugi opened his eyes and looked around. He noticed Joey beside him and Kaiba, who had slept on the floor after Yugi and the others woke him up last night. Yugi leaned over and tapped Joey on the forehead. He moved around and finally opened his eyes and sat up.
" Hey Yug. I just had the weirdest. I had a dream where you, me, Bakura and Kaiba all had the same dream and spent the rest of the night in Kaiba's room," laughed Joey. " Really messed up, right?"
Joey stopped laughing and looked at Yugi. He wasn't laughing.
" That was no dream Joey," replied Yugi. Kaiba sat straight up and looked at Yugi and Joey. He appeared to be confused.
" Where's Bakura?" he asked. Joey looked beside him.
" Your right," said Joey. " Bakura was right beside me last night and..... sorry it's too early for me to use my brain!"
" Any time is too early for you to use your brain," replied Kaiba. Joey store death at Kaiba. Yugi giggled. Joey glared at Yugi.
" Don't you start Yug!"
Yugi stopped giggling and hopped out of bed. He looked at Kaiba and Joey.
" Let's just go find Bakura okay?" Yugi asked.
Kaiba nodded once. Joey got out of bed and walked out of the room. After a few minutes of calling and doors opening and closing, Joey returned.
" He's not on this floor," said Joey. Yugi nodded. Kaiba shook his head.
" Joey, he's probably asleep or possibly unconscious."
After a few seconds of silence, Yugi, Joey and Kaiba split up and walked around the mansion looking in every room and yelling Bakura's name incase he woke up. Joey came across the open basement door and walked downstairs.
There were two doors. One that was open and one that needed a retina scan to enter. Joey checked the open one, stopped breathing for a few seconds and turned three shades whiter.
He had to admit, Kaiba was right about the unconscious thing. He ran over to what he had seen on the ground. The creature's past-shoulder length white hair gave away his identity. Joey came back to reality. He placed his hands on Bakura's shoulders and shook him slowly. Bakura didn't move. Joey noticed that Bakura was still breathing but before Joey left, he noticed something else.
Bakura was sprawled on the ground with his back facing up and his head was facing west. What caught Joey's eye was the torn fabric of Bakura's pure white pajamas, with tiny spots of blood. Joey thought for a minute.
* I can't just leave him down here. What if his attacker returns? *
Joey crouched down near Bakura, picking up his right arm, placing it behind his head, over his shoulders and lifted Bakura up off the ground. Joey then placed his other arm behind Bakura's back and under his left arm. Joey slowly walked upstairs.

Kaiba walked around the 3rd level while Yugi searched the back yard. Joey, who finally made it into the living room, placed Bakura on the couch so his back was facing up. Joey noticed Yugi through on of the windows, ran over, opened one of the sliding doors and called out to Yugi.
" Hey Yug!! I found him!"
As Yugi ran back to the house, Kaiba, who heard Joey though an open window, ran back down stairs and into the living room, carrying a first aid kit.

Yugi store at Joey, then at the unconscious Bakura.
" Where did you find him Joey?" Yugi looked at Bakura as he spoke.
" He was in the basement," Joey replied. " Guess he wandered down there last night."
Yugi looked at the torn fabric. He slowly moved the collar of Bakura's shirt, which was very baggy, over to look at the mark.
" Sunnen?" Yugi puzzled. The marks on Bakura's back represented the word millennium. Sure, Bakura owned the Millennium Ring, but who would go through the trouble of hidding in this mansion just to write 'sunnen' on Bakura's back?
Kaiba ran into the room and noticed the marks. He moved Joey aside to get a better look. He was just as puzzled and confused as Yugi. After seconds of silence and confusion, Bakura slowly stirred and woke up.
" Wha...what happened?" Bakura asked.
" Something attacked you last night," Yugi replied as Kaiba rummageed through the first aid kit. Kaiba didn't even look up as he ask," What do you remember before you blacked out?"
Bakura blinked for a moment then thought.
" Piano music," he replied after a minute.
Joey looked at him oddly. "Piano music?"
" But that's impossable," replied Kaiba. " Yugi and Joey can't play the piano and neither can I..."
" So it wasn't you then," Bakura sighed.
" And we know you can," Joey replied.
" Then the rumors are true....," Kaiba muttered as he closed the kit with a container of cream and a soft bandage in hand. He walked over to Bakura. " I have a question to ask..."
" And that is...." Bakura trailed off.
" Do you want this as a permanent mark?' Kaiba finished.
" What do you mean 'permanent'?" Yugi asked.
Kaiba placed the stuff on the floor and couched down. He reached over to his left pant leg and rolled it up to reveal 2 faded black lines.
" This cream makes a black pigment under the skin. It is meant to heal cuts but because of this side-effect, we are still modifying the formula," Kaiba replied.
" Okay," Bakura responded after a few minutes.
Bakura lied back down. Kaiba took a small handful of the cream and spread it over the cut. Bakura shivered. Kaiba stood back up. Yugi looked at Kaiba.
" You mentioned something about rumors...," Yugi asked.
Kaiba looked at them. " Before I became CEO, the man before me, bought this place. Before that, it was a ski resort. People from all over the world came here to ski. That was, until people began to get scared off. Police thought it was a prank until the police vanished. The former CEO, Gozaburo Kaiba, didn't care about the rumors."
" Gozaburo Kaiba?" Joey looked at him. " How come we never saw him?"
Kaiba stuttered for a minute. " Because.... he....... suffer a heart.... and kinda died..."
" Oh," replied Joey. A small rumble was heard a few minutes later. Everyone looked at Joey.
" Sorry," Joey smiled. " I guess I'm a little hungry."
" Your always hungry," Kaiba noted. " There's leftover pizza in the fridge. I'll be in the basement."
Kaiba left the room. Bakura got up.
" I'm gonna go get dressed," Bakura walked out of the room. Joey turned his attention to the fridge. Yugi sat down at the table as Joey began to search the fridge.

Joey placed a large plate of leftover pizza in front of Yugi and sat down. Bakura finally returned, this time wearing a white sweater, jeans and, of course, the Millennium Ring. He sat down and took one piece of pizza. He looked at Yugi and Joey.
" So what are we doing today?" Bakura asked.
Kaiba returned at the moment, carrying a large pile of papers. He dropped it on the table in front of Yugi, Joey and Bakura.
Joey pointed at the pile. "And this is?"
" Your schoolwork," Kaiba replied. Joey's mouth dropped. True, it was just after spring break ended that they arrived there. Joey never thought he'd still have to do his schoolwork. Bakura picked up one booklet and looked through it.
" This is the work you are currently missing," Kaiba said.
Yugi looked at the booklets as Kaiba left the room. " May want to get started..."
" So we can slack off!" Joey finished.
Bakura laughed. He knew it would take a few hours to complete all this work. He took a pen from the table flipped the book open and began to write. Yugi and Joey did the same.

By time Kaiba returned, they had already finished the booklets. Joey got up and began to search the kitchen for the cookbooks. In almost an hour, Joey had made some different kinds of pasta. Bakura and Yugi walked over to the table and began to eat the pasta.
After they finished eating. Joey began to play some of the CDs he brought. Loud music boomed through the house. Bakura had to use earmuffs and placed the Millennium Ring under a pillow, just incase his Yami had returned. Kaiba finally walked up to tell Joey to turn off the music.
Joey cursed a little.
" I could do a better job..."
Kaiba looked at him. " What?"
Joey looked at Kaiba and repeated what he had said.
" I said, I could do a better job at singing," repeated Joey.
" You could be worse," muttered Kaiba.
" What was that!?" Joey glared at Kaiba. " I can prove you wrong so fast..."
Bakura stepped in between them. " Guys, fighting isn't the answer.."
" Yes it is!!"
Yugi stood up. " No it isn't!"
Kaiba, Joey and Bakura looked at Yugi. Joey backed off.
" I could still beat you," Joey muttered under his breath.
Kaiba faced Yugi. " What'd Joey mean?"
Bakura stepped forward.
" He means that we have a garage band and he is one of the lead singers," replied Bakura.
Kaiba looked puzzled.
" If you want," continued Bakura, " we could show you."
" Okay," Kaiba replied.

Kaiba sat in the audience. Bakura had agreed to demonstrate some of his singing talents. He had lead in this song. He would need some one on guitar and drums to help create the background music. Yugi had agreed to play the drums and Joey played the guitar. Bakura sat at the piano and sighed. He slowly began to play. A luminous melody drifted over the room as Bakura began to sing.

Kaiba listened attentively. Joey still hadn't proven him wrong. Cause only Bakura was signing.


" Ashita Moshi Kimi Ga Kowaretemo

Bakura sighed. Kaiba clapped slowly, nearly mimicking Pegasus. Joey cheered. Yugi smiled. Bakura looked at a digital wall clock.
" Well guys," He said," I'm turning in."
" Okay," Joey watched Bakura leave the room. " Night Bakura."
Bakura yelled 'night' back at Joey, Yugi and Kaiba. They said good night and walked upstairs.

While Yugi slept, Yami took over Yugi's sleeping body and walked over to the window. Something was wrong. He could since it....
