Tammi: Thank you all for being so patient. There have been some family issues that had to be taken care of. Anyway, here's your next chapter, which I know you all have been dying for. Again, I don't own Yugioh, trust me I don't.

LAST CHAPTER:
'But, even though he didn't pull the trigger, his life is still ruined. He almost raped Mai, tried to kill us, and ended up killing his own brother. So, just as there is no point in killing another, there is no point in living either. At least, not one that I can see.' Kaiba thought to himself.
As if, he had actually heard Kaiba's thoughts, the gun was brought up one last time, and the trigger was pulled. And everyone gasped, as the final bullet was released, and a body lay dead on the floor.

Chapter: After The Horror
Joey stood absolutely still; he couldn't believe what happened, what had just happened right in front of him. Jacobs shook his head, and called for another stretcher. Joey opened his mouth to say something- anything- but nothing came.
"He ended his life… Took the easy way out, just like so many others." Kaiba whispered.
Joey glanced over at him, then down at the lifeless body, which belonged to Darren. "I can't believe-" Joey put his hand to his head, and almost fell to his knees. Jacobs caught him, and helped him back up.
"Are you ok, son? Why don't you two head back that way."
Joey took a long breath, and felt so sick, like he could throw up any minute. Kaiba however, kept his eyes on Darren the entire time. Then something in him clicked, and he turned over to Jacobs. "Are you through with us? We have told you everything, and I'm sure your men have already talked to our friend… Is it alright if we all just go home?" He asked.
"I think that would be best for all of you. Ya'll go home, and try to get some sleep."
"S-Sleep? After seeing that?" Joey was a bit shaky, and seeing how casual Kaiba and Jacobs were, almost made him go ballistic.
"Come on, Joey." Kaiba ordered, and grabbed him by the arm. Joey followed still a bit flustered about what happened.

//Domino Park/9:46 p.m.//
It didn't take long to enter a clearing full of police cars, and lights. A couple of policemen and paramedics passed by them, as they made their way to a dark car, with an open car door.
"Oh my God! Thank God, you two are alright!" She ran up to them, and hugged them both. Joey pushed her away, and she eased off. "What happened?" Joey was silent, not speaking, and Kaiba only shook his head. Mai shut her mouth.
"Everyone get in. I'll have my driver drop you two off. And I'll have someone come get your cars, and have those dropped off in the morning. Now, get in."
One by one, they sat down in the comfortable limousine. Kaiba gave the driver directions, and they were off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//Domino City/Mai's Home/10:15 p.m.//
It was silent the whole way to Mai's home, which was nicely built and was well taken care of. "Um… Thanks you two… For everything." She whispered, and gave each one a small nod.
"Don't thank us, we were simply helping out a friend." Kaiba answered, a bit strange at calling Mai one of his own friends. She smiled weakly, and then closed the car door behind her. Walking up to her door, she waved, then, went inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//Domino City/Apartments/10:37 p.m.//
Now the dark car was off to Joey's run-down apartments. The car was just as silent as before. Kaiba felt even more tired than before, "This has been one of the worst days of my life, I admit." He whispered out loud.
"…Yeah…" Joey's very quiet reply, so quiet, Kaiba barely heard him.
"… Are you alright?" Kaiba asked, staring over at Joey.
"Not really, but, you know, I'm not use to people dying around me. If anything I-"
"You what?"
"I… I would want people to be happy, you know like how I am." He answered, silently hoping Kaiba would buy that lie.
"Hmm. Well, think about it. He had no other way out, I suppose. It was either death, or years in prison. I guess he chose the easy way out, like how other people do." His voice was quiet too.
It didn't take long to get to Joey's apartments, and he also gave his thanks to Kaiba and left inside the gates. Kaiba was now riding alone, and he sighed.
What happened tonight, must have been the sign, he was unintentionly looking for. It was too much of a coincidence, he knows his sign and knows what he has to do now…

////Mazaki Residence/Anzu's Room/9:00 a.m.////
Anzu cried to herself, as everything just seemed to be falling apart. Last night after leaving the Park, she had decided to go home. But, then she was stopped by some man, named she believed was named… Darren..? And then, he demanded her to take off her clothes. Naturally she refused, and tried to run in the opposite direction, but another guy was behind her, then something was stuffed into her mouth, and they were grabbing and touching her all over.
She tried to scream out, but the thing they jammed into her mouth prevented that, and so the torture she had to endure. It lasted only about five minutes, but, God it seemed so much longer. And then, they left her alone, when another one spotted something over in another direction.
She was left there with her clothes halfway on, and quickly she stood and ran to her car, crying hysterically. Her mom wasn't home either; at the grocery store. She ran to her room; curled into a tight ball, and cried.
And now, here she was crying into her pillow, but keeping it quiet, as to not scare or worry her mother. Oh, how she wanted her life to end. Just let it end now and be done with all the torture of life. Think about it.
With her death, would come the end of pain, she wouldn't have to face rejection, nor would she have to cry anymore. Her pillows would no longer be stained with the tears of a failure, a heart-broken loser, and a person full of sorrow.
And with these thoughts her lips trembled even more so. She wondered what would happen if she were to die. Sure, there would be peole who would be sad, but, they'd get over it. Unlike her, they were strong, they could survive anything. 'They'd miss me, but…' She was still curled up in a ball, not moving.
Everything hurt. Her body, her heart, her soul. She is damaged, torn; she has been ripped apart from the inside. Pain is her only friend; the only thing she understands. Suddenly, everything became so clear. Pain, was her friend. You can't predict future, you can't foresee happiness, but pain… Pain, was infinite. Pain, would always be there. Always ready to hurt you, to attack you when you least expected it to.
But… 'I won't let it take me by surprise anymore. It wants me to suffer for eternity, but it won't. Not again.' She thought to herself, and slowly sat up in her bed. She stared long and hard at her reflection, and her eyes were droopy and blood-shot. She smiled weakly, "No more tears." She brought her hand up and pointed her index finger straight out, with her thumb up in the air. (Like in a shape of a gun) Then she cocked it and whispered, "Bang."
