~~Chapter 5~~

Yugi and Joey headed to where Yugi though the 'demon' who stole Yami was. He could faintly feel where the puzzle was if he concentrated. They reached what looked like an abandoned mansion and where about there when a giant hole opened below them. They were falling when two sets of hands reached out and grabbed them. They were pulled up and looked at their saviors. One was the black-haired boy from before and the other had chestnut hair and icy blue eyes. "I'm Seto. Mokuba told me what happened so I though I'd help." He smirked as he looked at the hole and back at the two boys. "Looks like I came at a good time, huh?"

Yugi nodded. "Yes, thank you. Let's go."

~If your tumbling down and your spirits fall

~Help's on the way we hear your call.

The four boys entered the house and hear a laugh. "Welcome you fools! I hope you enjoy your stay because this will be your final day!"

"Who are you?" Yugi yelled, sounding braver than he felt.

"I am a thief and a stealer of souls, but you can call me Bakura." With that the voice was gone.

"I think the puzzle is this way." Yugi said, pointing to a hallway. The other three nodded and ran to it. Yugi going first, as he was hoping to sense the puzzle again.

~On a mission we're united as one.

~Friends forever yeah...

~Here we come!

They came to a junction but Yugi couldn't tell which way to go. He looked up at the other two teens.

"I suggest that Joey go down one and the rest of us go down another." The other three boys nodded in agreement at Seto's idea. Joey ran down the hallway to the right while Seto, Yugi and Mokuba went to the left.

Joey ran until he got to an empty room. As soon as he stepped in it the door slammed shut and locked. The lights also came on and he saw Tristan on the other side of the room, seemingly guarding the door. Tristan looked up and smirked when he saw Joey. "Well, well, well, you finally arrived Joey. I believe we have a score to settle." HE pulled out a knife.

"Then let's settle it." Joey said, looking around for anything he could use. All he could see were walls. Walls and Tristan. 'Hope this works, but, hey, he never was what you could call smart.' He ran to the other side of the room, and when Tristan had almost reached him he leaped to the side, causing Tristan to stab the wall. Which caused his knife to get stuck. Joey ran for it, and had just grabbed it when he felt a burning pain in his side. He looked down to see Tristan holding a bloody knife. His blood. He could feel the wound in his side, and the blood it was spilling. 'Shit.'

~*~

"Seto, do you think it's strange we haven met with anything? I mean, guards or stuff?" Yugi questioned. Seto nodded.

"I think you're right, something's strange about that." He glanced around and saw...nothing. But that wasn't important. What was important was what he heard. Water. Rushing water. Rushing water that was getting louder. "RUN!" He shouted, but not soon enough, as a wave of water overtook them.

~In no time we'll be at your side.

~We're a team on a roller coaster ride.

~Each one of us, knows just what to do

"Quite amusing, don't you think?" Bakura sneered at his 'slave'. He looked over at the millennium puzzle. "Pity that they'll never reach you. The meddlesome fool Wheeler will die at Tristan's hands and the two brothers by mine. I think I might keep Yugi as another slave though, he looks rather pathetic, just like you Ryou." He kicked the said boy, causing Ryou to fall back and cry out in pain while Bakura just laughed.

~Never gonna stop, gonna stop......searching for you

"Tristan, why are you trying to kill me?" Joey yelled as he dodged another slash, the blade of his former friend's knife slicing his jacket.

"I never really like you Joey. You were just a better fighter than me. I also enjoyed picking on the students. I never liked you, yes, I would even say I hated you, but when you started hanging out with that shrimp, and defended him against me, well, that was all the crap I could take from you Wheeler. That was all."

~For you

~Baby, listen to me

Seto broke the top of the water. "MOKUBA!" He called, knowing his brother couldn't swim. He looked around frantically then saw his brother several feet away. "MOKUBA! HANG ON!" HE quickly swam over to him, grasping him. "Mokuba, are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine Seto. Hey, where's Yugi?" Seto looked around and indeed, there was no sign of him new friend.

~Searching for you...

~Oh for you...

Yugi was underwater, trying to swim up. He had almost made it when he felt something wrap around his leg. 'NO! I need to find Yami, he's depending on me!' Yugi was running out of air quickly. "LET GO!" He yelled, and whatever it was did let go. Yugi had breathed in a lot of water and couldn't breath. 'No, got to save Yami, got to-' Yugi blacked out.

~We're gonna set you free.

~Coming to the rescue.

"I see him. Mokuba, I want you to keep holding onto the shelf, okay? I'll be right back!" Seto dived underwater and grabbed Yugi's arm, pulling him to the surface. When he got there he noticed something, Yugi wasn't breathing. He grabbed Mokuba's Arm as well and pulled both right by a window. He kicked it open and the water started draining. As soon as he say something he could put Yugi on he did so, and started CPR on Yugi.

~Get there in a hurry.

~Rescue!

Joey dodged another swipe and trust his blade out, cutting Tristan's arm. "SHIT WHEELER! You'll pay for that! Tristan yelled and kicked Joey so he feel backwards. Joey then screamed as he felt Tristan ram his knife in his shoulder. 'No...can't end like this...gotta do something...'

Tristan, thinking Joey was knocked out cane up to him. Joey kicked out with his feet and knocked Tristan back. He then slashed Tristan's leg, trying to keep him from moving so much. Tristan fell back against the wall, and Joey had the knife against his throat.

"Come on Wheeler. Can you do it?"

~Don't you worry.

~Rescue!

~This adventures heating up.

~I'll rescue you and if I do you gotta rescue me

Yugi slowly opened his eyes and looked up into frantic blue eyes. "Seto?" He asked weakly.

"Thank God Yugi! I was afraid that we lost you!" Seto said. Yugi nodded then tried to stand. He fell back and was caught by Seto. "Be careful Yugi, you are still unsteady. Let me carry you for a bit." Yugi nodded and Seto scoped him up and the three boys proceeded. Yugi pointed the way that they needed to go, but they were stopped when they felt an arrow whiz by them.

"Put me down Seto, I don't want to slow you down!" Seto nodded and all three boys ran off. Yugi felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and saw an arrow embedded in it. The three boys came to what seemed like a dead end when the saw a small door to the left. Seto ran over to open it, but it was locked.

~So if your lost

~Or think it's through.

~Never gonna stop looking for you.

~Your not alone, so have no doubt.

Joey looked at his former friend and the knife. He bowed his head. "No, I can't. I won't stoop to the level of a murderer. Tristan looked up at Joey. "Tristan, Just leave. I won't kill ya but I never want to see you again. The longer you stay the more tempting it is to kill you." Tristan slowly got up and walked out, but as soon as the door closed he collapsed to his knees and cried, cried for his former friendship he had ruined.

"I really fucked up" He mumbled as he slowly got up and left.

~We'll put our heads together;

~Gonna figure it out! Oh!

Bakura Frowned when he saw Joey's progress. "Soon that fool will enter! At least Yugi and the other two brats will die!" Ryou looked up at him sadly, then down at the item around his neck.

'I have to do something, but what?'

~*~

Seto pulled out a lock-pick and quickly opened the door before any more arrows could hit. He saw a door on the other side of the room, then gasped as he saw Yugi. The younger boy had an arrow in his shoulder and was silently sobbing.

"Yugi..."

"I'll be fine Seto, just take the arrow out, okay?" Seto looked uncertain but complied. He saw Yugi flinch, but nothing else. "Better, now, lets go!" The two other nodded and went towards the door.

~Baby!

~Listen to me...

~We're gonna, gonna set you free yeah

Yugi, Seto and Mokuba burst through the door, and at the same time Joey did his. Bakura smirked at them all. "Well, well, well, you all managed to survive. I must admit that that surprised me." He threw out his hand and a sphere of dark energy was thrown towards Mokuba. It hit him and he was sent backwards. He slammed into the wall and Seto was by his side in an instant.

"Mokuba, no.." He heard Bakura laugh then felt a searing pain in his back, causing him to almost loose consciousness. "No, got to stay strong, got to fight him-" But as another dark sphere hit him he couldn't hang on and passes out.

"BASTARD!" Joey yelled, rushing towards him, only to hit what seemed like a force field and get thrown back. He leaped to his feet and charged him again.

"No, Joey, don't!" Yugi called, but was too late as hi friend was thrown back harder than before. Yugi ran behind him so Joey wouldn't get as hurt and was slammed into the wall. "Now I end this." He said, forming a large dark energy sphere.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" A voice yelled, and Bakura was thrown to the ground as someone ran into him.

~Coming to the rescue.

~Get there in a hurry.

~Rescue!

"I won't let you do things like this. I will not let you hurt anyone else for your sick games. This ends here Bakura." With that Ryou glowed a pale blue color and Bakura started glowed an angry red.

"I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS RYOU! YOU WON'T WIN! YOU WILL NEVER GET RID OF ME!" Bakura yelled as the light enveloped him, and he disappeared. Ryou sighed and collapses. Yugi and Joey ran over to him and saw that he had just blacked out. Then Yugi went over to Seto and Mokuba. As he did Mokuba started to wake up.

"Seto?" He whispered. "Are you okay? No, don't leave me!"

"I'll never leave you kid." Seto said as he sat up, gingerly rubbing his forehead. "Ow..."

"I'm glad that you're both okay! Now all I need to do is get my puzzle and I'm done!" Yugi smiled. 'I've almost got you Yami, hang on."

~Baby, don't you worry.

~Rescue!

~This adventures heating up.

~I'll rescue you and if I do you gotta rescue me

Then Yugi saw it. The puzzle was smashed. "NO! YAMI!" Yugi screamed.

~Rescue

~TBC~

DONE!!! HALLELUJAH!! This was a pain to write! But I'm done! Yea!
