Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh.
Thanks for the reviews! I'm glad that so many people are interested in this fic. ^^ So, I'll continue. Don't wanna keep you guys in suspense ^_~
Thanx for the ideas!! Now I have an idea as to where this is going. . .at least part of it. I still don't know who the culprit will be. . .
~~~~~~~~~
"Yugi? Dinner is ready," Mr. Mouto said, knocking on his grandson's bedroom door.
"I'm not hungry," Yugi said from in his room.
"All right. . . "
Yugi had been in his room ever since he had gotten home from school. He had been listening to the radio, and staring at the ceiling, thinking about Tea. He had been thinking for about six hours, and still could not come up with a reason why Tea was murdered. It just made no sense. Everyone liked Tea, as far as he knew.
"Yugi? Yugi what's the matter?"
Yami had been asking Yugi that for the past six hours also, but Yugi had tuned him out. He just didn't feel like talking to anyone, not even Yami.
"Yugi. For the last time, what is bothering you? Please tell me," Yami repeated.
Yugi sighed. He might as well tell Yami.
"Tea was murdered," He said bluntly.
Yami was silent for the rest of the night.
~~~~~
"Hey Yugi," Joey said the next day at school. "I'm suprised that you're at school today."
"Yeah, well I figured I shouldn't just put my whole life on hold. It's not like I can change anything," Yugi said.
"True."
"Yugi?" Kiaba asked.
"Kiaba? What?" Yugi asked, thinking 'I do NOT wanna put up with him today. . .'
"I'm. . umm. . sorry. . .about Tea, I mean. It was awful what happened." Contrary to popular belief, Kiaba DID have a heart, and had actually kind of liked Tea. "If there's anything I can do. . . . just let me know."
"Thanks, Kiaba," Yugi said. 'Wow, I never thought that he could be a nice guy.'
"Same to you. . . " Kiaba said to Joey, then sat down.
"Hey guys," Tristan said, entering the classroom as the bell rang.
"Hi Tristan," Yugi replied.
"What took you so long?" Joey asked.
"Just had to take care of some. . .business," Tristan said.
"Class? Let's get seated so that I can teach please. . ."
~~~~~~
"YUGI!"
It was after school, and Yugi, Joey and Tristan were hanging around their school, since they couldn't think of anything better to do.
Yugi turned around and saw Duke, Mai and Serenity.
"Hey Serenity," Tristan said.
"Sis, what are you doing here?" Joey asked.
"Yugi!" Mai said, running up to him. "I was watching the news last night and I heard what happened! I tried calling, but your grandfather said that you wouldn't talk to anyone. . . I'm so sorry!"
Yugi managed a weak smile. "It's ok, Mai. . "
"And when Mai heard what happened, she called me," Serenity said. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME JOEY?"
"Sorry. . .I just didn't want you to get upset too," Joey replied.
"Oh. . . "
"I also heard about Tea. . . Yugi I'm so sorry," Duke said.
"Listen, Serenity and I were talking," Mai started.
"And we thought that maybe, if we all teamed up," Serenity said.
"That maybe we could all find Tea's murderer!" Mai finished.
Yugi looked up. He had been looking at the ground. The others could see a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"You mean it?" He asked.
"Of course!" Serenity cried.
"Great idea!" Joey said, smiling.
"I don't know, you guys. . " Tristan said. "The police couldn't find anything out. . ."
Mai glared at Tristan. "What, you don't even want to TRY?"
"Well, of course I want to---"
"GREAT! Then how about we go to the police station now?" Mai asked.
"Sure," Yugi said, smiling. He couldn't believe it! They were actually going to avenge Tea, and make her murderer pay.
"If you guys are going to do that, I insist that I help," Kiaba said, walking up to them.
"Kiaba?" Yugi asked.
"Don't ask any questions, just let me help," Kiaba said.
"All right," Yugi said.
"We need all the help we can get," Mai enthused. She was very determined. Someone had taken the life of one of her friends, and for that they would pay!
'Too bad Bakura's in England' Joey thought. 'He could have helped us. . '
"So, we're going to the police station?" Kiaba asked.
"Yeah," Mai said.
"All right then," Kiaba took out his cell phone, pushed a few buttons and said, "I need my limo."
In seconds, there was a long black limo in front of the group.
If they hadn't been ready to go look for Tea's murderer, they all would have been more excited about riding in a limo, but everyone just entered it like it was any other car.
~~~~
"Can I help you?" A grumpy-looking police officer asked.
"Yes, we'd like to see the report about the murder of Tea Gardner," Mai said.
He gave them a funny look. "Why do you kids want to see that?"
"Because we're going to try to solve the murder!" Serenity said.
The police officer just looked at them.
"Well? Can we see them or not?" Mai asked.
He took a deep breath. "I'm guessing that you're friends of Te--the late Tea Gardner?"
"Yes," Serenity said.
"Listen, I don't think you want to see that report. . ."
"PLEASE," Yugi said, almost in tears. "We need to see it."
"All right, but don't say I didn't warn ya," The officer said. As he walked them down a long hall he said, "By the way, I'm Officer Thomas Brown, in case you need me or anything."
A young police officer ran out of a nearby room. "OFFICER BROWN! OFFICER BROWN! THE LABS GOT THAT---oh, sorry, didn't mean to interupt you or anything. . . "
"That's all right, go on, Kojii," Officer Brown said.
"The lab finished checking those samples that you recovered from the scene of that murder," Kojii said.
"Good," Officer Brown replied. "Oh, kids, this is my assistant Kojii Yokohama."
"Nice to meet you," Kojii said, smiling at the bunch of friends.
After the rest of them had introduced themselves, and Kojii left, they finally got into the records room.
Officer Brown pulled out a portfolio that looked brand new, but was filled with papers. He sighed again. "Now you're all SURE that you want to see this?"
"Yes," They all said at the same time.
Officer Brown just threw the portfolio on the table.
The others just looked at it for a couple minutes, then Yugi got up the courage to pick it up. He took a deep breath then opened the file. His eyes opened wide, and he covered his mouth with his hand, and then ran out of the room, and out of the police station.
"What the--" Joey started, until he saw the picture that Yugi had thrown on the floor. Joey's face paled, and he was silent.
The others looked over at it too, and Kiaba picked it up.
"Oh my---" Mai said, tears rolling down her face.
The face of the person. . .who was supposed to be Tea. . .was completely deformed. Nothing was visible, it was all just a mess of blood and body tissue.
Officer Brown sighed, yet again, and sadly looked at them. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have--"
"N-no, it's-it's ok. . " Joey said, when he found his voice.
"Yugi," Mai said.
The others seemed to have forgotten, and their eyes opened wide when Mai said that.
Kiaba gave the picture to Officer Brown as the others ran out of the room.
"We'll be back," He promised, then ran out, too.
~~~~
They found Yugi at the beach. He was on his knees in the water, just looking down at it. Even from a distance, they could tell he was crying.
"Yugi!" Joey said, kneeling down to look at him.
"It-it's not fair!" Yugi cried, sobbing. "It's bad enough that Tea was murdered. . . but they couldn't even leave her FACE alone? WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
