Okay, I'm not waiting for reviews, ,I feel like typing. Sorry! Well, thanks to those who reviewed, ,I always appreciate it. :D don't look at me like that! TWITCH ow. Okay, I'm being pinched, which means I must disclaim now... even though I don't want to. *SIGH* okay! I don't, regrettably, (I'm getting there!) own Yu-Gi-Oh! *sniffle. Okay! I'm over it! Back to my story!

Chapter 4, Rex's Plan!

Joey, Yugi, Tristan, and Serenity burst into the basement, after a thorough search of the first room or two, only to find darkness and no steps. THUMP!

"OW! Tristan? Is that you?" Serenity sounded muffled.

He jumped up quick and pulled her up. "Oh, yeah, uh, sorry about landing on you. Are you alright?" As she said yeah, he checked her face and neck for (uhhhh, owwies?). He had her chin tilted up as bright lights suddenly filled the room. Joey and Yugi shielded their eyes, and Joey noticed Tristan and Serenity standing just slightly too close for his liking. (Is Tristan too old for Serenity???) He hopped up and pulled her over to see if she was okay, and glared at Tristan, who turned to help Yugi up.

"Most people use the back stairs." They turned to see Rex up on a platform. "But, then again, if you had, I'd have less amusement." He chuckled and turned to a very angry looking Tea, who was wearing a white gown. "You were right. They came for you. Too bad for them though. Wasting their time like that."

"It wasn't a waste of time." Yami-Yugi stated. "We will leave with her!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

"If it's a duel you want, it's a duel you'll get!"

"Ha!" Everyone except for Tea looked surprised at Rex's 'Ha!' She just looked annoyed. "I don't want a duel! I have what I want. A duel over her would just be a chance for me to lose her." He walked over to the rope bound brunette (shut-up, im getting tired) and ran his finger down the side of her face.

"Wait!" Joey found his voice again. "You want her?"

"Hey! What's so wrong with me, Joey Wheeler???" Tea got indignant.

"That's not important, my love!" Rex crooned. Tea made a really sick face. He tried to kiss her, but she turned away.

"Ewwww! Back off!" He backhanded her. Yami charged forward a few steps, but the floor fell in under him and he would have fallen about ten feet if Joey hadn't dove to catch his hand. He and Tristan pulled yami back up.

"Do I need to get out the duct tape again?" Rex asked Tea sweetly. He turned to the guys. "Oh, and watch the floor, there might be a few dozen weak spots. Hahaha!"

"Well, he sure got the evil laugh down," Joey muttered. "So, Rex! If you don't plan on dueling, then what do you plan on?"

"Just keeping her until we're old enough to get married." He answered casually. "Not much. Oh, and have fun with the floor!" He grabbed Tea and went through a small door.

"Oh, great! Now what?" Tristan asked as he held a shaking Serenity. They all looked across the large room towards the steps.
