Prologue
--------------------------------

"Joey! You klutz!" Yugi yelled, wiping soda off of his prized Dark Magician.
"How many times to I have to tell you NOT to set your pop down by my cards?"

"That makes 341,846,104, but who's counting?"

Bakura found the whole situation rather hilarious. He was practically falling off his
chair laughing.

Ryou rolled his eyes. "Bakura, try to act your age."

"But it's so damn funny!" the tomb robber managed to blurt out between laughs. "I
mean, how often to you see little Yugi get so upset? He's turning bright red!"

Everyone in the room turned to look at Yugi, who was now trying to cover his
beet red face. Right now, he was more upset about Bakura's "little Yugi" comment than
anything.

Yami sighed. "Calm down, Yugi. You're going to burst a blood vessel."

Yugi started turning more of a normal color. He realized he still had his soggy
Dark Magician, and started wiping it off with a rag.

Just then, Mai and Téa ran into the card shop.

"Who killed who?" Mai asked, giving Bakura a very discreet "What'd you do?"
look.

"What the hell you talking about, Mai?" Joey asked, scratching his head.

"Some Kid outside said it sounded like someone was gonna get his ass beat in
here," Mai replied.

"It's nothing that serious, yet," Ryou said.

Téa looked to see Yugi sitting on the floor, gently wiping off his Dark Magician.
"Bakura, what'd you do?" she asked, sounding more than a little annoyed.

Bakura jumped out of his chair. "Me!? What makes you think I did something!?"

"It's always you. Or Marik, but he's not here, is he?"

"for your information, it was this idiotic dog!" He yelled, pointing at Joey.

"What, now Kaiba's got you callin' me dat?"

"What'd Joey do THIS time?" Mai asked with a sigh.

"He spilled his Coke on my Dark Magician!" Yugi yelled. He was starting to turn
bright red again.

Mokuba suddenly came running through the door. "Guys! Guys! I can't find Seto
anywhere!" he yelled.

"Not now! I'm having a crisis!" Yugi yelled back.

"What's his problem?" Mokuba asked Bakura, only because he was closest.

"He's PMSing," Bakura replied.

"What's that?" Mokuba asked, tipping his head to one side.

"It's when..." He was cut off by Ryou slapping his hand over Bakura's mouth

Ryou smiled nervously. "we'll tell you when you're ow! He bit me!" Ryou yelled,
shaking his hand frantically.

"Foolish mortal!" Bakura hissed. "how dare..."

"Silence!" Yami yelled. The eye symbol glowed on his forehead.

Everyone in the room except Yugi, who was too preoccupied with getting his card
dry to realize what had been going on, froze.

"Finished!" Yugi said, proudly displaying his now dry card. "So, what about
Kaiba?" He asked, turning to Mokuba.

"I can't find him anywhere! He's not at work, and he's not coming when i call him
at the mansion."

"Then we should probably go find him," Ryou said.

Téa rolled her eyes. "You're too nice sometimes, you know."

Mai scoffed. "Look who's talking."

"Do we have anything better to do?" Ryou asked Téa.

She crossed here arms. "Well,, actually, no."

"Then let's go find him!" Mokuba said excitedly. "We can start at the mansion!"

Yami looked confused. "I thought you said you already looked there."

"No, I just said I yelled a lot. Seto could be dead or something."

"You're one optimistic kid," Mai said.

"I know, now let's go!" Mokuba said, practically dragging Yugi out the door.
Everyone else followed.

"I have the strange feeling there's someone else here." Yami said.

Then, as if on cue, Marik walked around the corner, practically knocking Yami
over.

"Aren't you going to challenge me to a duel so you can try to win so you can take
my puzzle so you can have the power of the pharaoh so you can rule the world with the
Millennium Items and the three Egyptian god cards of which I currently have one, Kaiba
has one, and you have one unless there was some sort of plot twist I was unaware of
where one of us lost a card?" Yugi asked.

"Normally, yes, but today's my day off."

"Really?" Yami asked.

"No, so you gonna duel me, or what?"

"No," Yami said.

"Oh. How about now?"

"No!" Yami said, walking past Marik.

"Marik," Mai said. "did you happen to "find" a bunch of free candy in a vending
machine again?"

"Yeah..."

"Did you eat it all?" Mai asked.

"Yeah, but what does this have to do with anything?"

Bakura started snickering. "Marik, the one bent on world domination, is on a sugar
high."

Marik raised one eyebrow. "What's that?"

"You'll find out." Bakura said.

The group, now plus Marik, continued walking to Kaiba's mansion. Marik kept
getting side tracked by practically anything that moved, so the trip was a lot longer than it
should've been.

They finally reached the front gate. It was dark outside. Mokuba opened the front
gate, led everyone to the front door, and let them inside.

"Now what?" Yugi asked, sitting on Kaiba's couch.

"We split up!" Mokuba said excitedly

"Split up!?" Joey yelled. "That never works!"

But it makes it go faster," Mokuba said as he wrote everyone's names on pieces of
paper. "OK, I'll draw names out of a hat to see who's going with who. Joey, you're going
with Mai."

Joey cringed.

Mokuba drew two more names. "Yugi, you're with Téa. He whispered to Yugi, "I
feel sorry for you."

Yugi nodded.

"I guess that leaves me and Ryou."

"Hey, what about us?" Bakura yelled.

"You three can go together, just don't kill Yami."

Bakura and Marik exchanged evil looks. Yami cringed a little.

"Now I guess we should get looking," Ryou said.

"We'll look upstairs," Mai said. "C'mon, Joey."

"Yug, Help!" Joey yelled as he was being dragged up the stairs.

"I guess I'll take the attic," Yugi said, following Joey and Mai.

"Yugi! Wait for me!" Téa yelled, running after them.

"You three can look in the basement," Mokuba said to Bakura, Yami, and Marik.

Marik, still feeling the effects of the sugar, slid down the rail into the basement.
Bakura followed, dragging a reluctant Yami behind him

"Oh, Ra! What have i gotten myself into!?" Yami yelled as Bakura slammed the
basement door closed.

"Do you think we should help him?" Ryou asked.

Silence.

"Mokuba? Mokuba, where are you?" He searched the room, but Mokuba was
missing!
