Okay, I got some pretty strange reviews this time. All from the same person. Seghua. Everyone please point and laugh! I'm just kidding! Oh, and it's been a while, so I guess I should give a disclaimer here. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! *sniffle* Here we go.

Chapter Nine: Serenity's a Hostage

Serenity felt a hard cold floor against her face, and tried to sit up.
"Don't even try, girl."
"I- I know that voice. *pause for dramatic effect* Rex?"
"Yeah. It's me." He walked into the circle of light he had dumped her in. "And now that I have you, Tea's gotta come back to me."
"Back to . oh! You think you and Tea have something?" She frowned. "If she really thought you two had a thing, would you have to tie her up to keep her from running out on you?" He harumphed and glared at her.
"What do you know about love, you little twit? The closest thing you have is Tristan Taylor!"
"What's wrong with Tristan?"
"What isn't?" She looked like she would cry, so he quickly excused himself. "If you move one inch, I'll make sure you never see any of them again!"
'Joey! Tristan! Help me.'

Meanwhile

All Joey could see in his mind was Serenity being pulled into the van. He came up in front of Yugi and Tea by using a fire escape and hopping a fence. He could see Rex, pulling his sister in, but who was driving? It had been pulling away as he shut the doors.
"We gotta find her, Yug."
"We will, Joey." Yugi paused. "I guess all we can do is go back to the house and see if he's there."
"Would he be that dumb?"
"Come on, it's REX." Tea sighed. "He is definitely dumb enough for something like that."
"Tea, why don't you go sit with Tristan, and Mai. We can take this guy."
"You can take Rex, sure, but you don't know who that other guy was. Or if there was someone in the passenger seat." She turned to Yugi. "You don't know what you're getting into."
"Tea." Joey stepped into her line of vision. "I'm not letting Serenity get hurt. Now go tell Tristan."
"Tell him yourself." Tristan's weak voice came from behind Joey. He was standing there, in a pair of black jeans, and a torso wrapped in bandages, trying to pull his jacket on.
"Tristan!" Joey yelled. "Are you nuts?"
"Tell me what? That Serenity was taken, and you went to get her without me? I'm going."
Joey nodded and helped his friend with his jacket. "You gotta take it easy, though. Otherwise your mom won't let me move in with you guys. And when we come back, it's straight to bed."
"Tristan nodded, then smiled. Let's go."

Sorry it's so short, but I am totally sleep deprived. There! You see how big that yawn was?!? I'll make it up to you all. P.S., can you just see Tristan like that? Beside the hair, Hot. Am I right, , or just overly tired? Please review with possible lines you'd like to hear the guys yell at Rex and his mystery helper(s). Love, Chelsea
