When the bell finally rung that day, all four of them met outside.
"Okay guys let's split up and meet back later at the Kaiba house in 3 hours, got it?" Ishizu asked. They all nodded. "Good, come on Kaiba" Ishizu said and with that they all went their separate ways.
"Do you want to use the limo?" Kaiba asked.
"No, it's better if we walk" Ishizu said.
Kaiba and Ishizu walked in the opposite of the other's hoping for a clue as to where Jessica might be.
"Where can she be?" Ishizu growled. They had just come out of the arcade, and the people there weren't that helpful.
"I swear when I find her..." Kaiba didn't finish the sentence.
"Patience Kaiba, we'll find her" Ishizu said. They walked in silence for a long time till they decided they would go home. She wasn't anywhere! Nobody had seen her either and they were tired from all that walking they had done in the past three hours.
Kaiba called the limo and within minutes the limo picked them up and they were off.
"You like her don't you?" Ishizu asked looking out the window.
"I don't think so," Kaiba said.
"Yes you do," she said.
Kaiba didn't answer her. Maybe I do like her? NO! I can't...he thought. "Yes you can" a voice said. " Will you leave me alone?" Kaiba yelled forgetting Ishizu was sitting there.
"Huh?" Ishizu said with concern.
"Oh...uh…nothing" Kaiba told her. " Hahahaha" the voice mocked and faded away...
To the south side of Domino City Yami and Joey had no luck at all.
"Let's just go back to the mansion," Joey said.
"No we haven't asked everyone" Yami protested.
"Yes we have, and I'm tired." Joey complained.
"Oh fine" Yami said giving up. They walked down the streets in silence. Night had fallen and it was getting cold. They continued down the streets when Joey heard a chair rocking back and forth.
"Did you hear dat?" Joey asked stopping. " Hear Wh-" he stopped once he heard the chair rocking too. They looked around till Joey's eye's stopped on an old woman sitting on her porch sitting in her rocking chair.
"Maybe she's seen her," Yami said.
"No way am I going near her, she looks freaky" Joey protested.
"Come on Joey, she might of seen her" Yami said making his way to the old woman.
"Hello ma'am, have you seen a girl around here this morning?" Yami asked. The old woman looked up at Yami.
"Well hello there child, what brings you here?' the woman said.
"Did you see a girl around here this morning" he said again.
"I've been sittin' here since 1982, I have and yes son I have seen a girl. I've seen short ones, tall ones, skinny ones, fat ones, some children, some mother's" she said smiling showing her green teeth. Joey backed up.
"Let's just leave," he whispered.
"Wait Joey" Yami said.
"She has brown hair with golden streaks an brown eyes, and she's thin," Yami said making the best description he could.
"Ahh I've seen plenty child that sound like her. I've seen fat girls with brown eyes, seen tall girls with brown hair, I've also seen-"
"Okay, okay" Yami said rubbing his temples. "Let's go Joey" Yami said.
"Wait children, you want some of me plum cookies?" she said showing her teeth again.
"LET'S GO NOW!" Joey yelled pulling Yami with him. "Never again" Joey said.
"Sorry, let's just go back okay Joey" Yami said.
"Yeah, yeah" he said and they walked back to the Kaiba mansion not knowing what the future held for them.
If anyone had seen Jessica they would of thought she was dead. She looked horrible, even if it had been for just a day. Why would they want to save me? I've caused so much trouble Jessica thought. She looked around the room hoping for a miracle. How could I be so stupid? She thought angrily.
Jessica felt something touching her feet so she looked to her feet and there stood a huge nasty rat. It moved between her feet till it stopped and bit her. " Oww" Jessica screamed making the rat run away. A door opened and there was a hooded figure.
"What the hell did you scream for?" he asked.
"M-my fo-foot" she said. The man looked down and saw the blood flowing out. He then left.
He came back minutes later and cleaned the cut up and then gave her a needle to make sure she didn't catch anything. Marik knew that that might happen and he wouldn't let anything happen to her, he needed her for his plan to be a success. When that was done the man left and locked the door, leaving Jessica in darkness.
She just hung there, her head wasn't hurting as much and she was grateful for that, but her foot still stung. She wanted to get away from here so badly. If only she had listened and not go wandering off like that, then maybe she wouldn't be here right now. When the night fell, Jessica could tell even if there were no windows. The room was so cold to her. She began coughing and shivering all over.
She had been coughing so loudly she didn't even notice a certain someone come in.
"Cold?" he laughed. Jessica tried to raise her head, but she was too weak. "Wow you truly are pathetic" he said. Jessica didn't answer him, an even she wanted to she couldn't because she fainted from the cold and the pain from her foot...
"Hey you guys any luck?" Yami said finding Ishizu and Kaiba in the living room.
"No and I'm guessing you have not" Ishizu said.
"What are we going to do?" Joey said.
"Nothing that is until we find her" Ishizu said. They sat down in silence thinking when Joey bounced up.
"Guys, I know how we can find Jessica" he screamed.
"And that would be?" Kaiba said.
"Well Jessica has a millennium item right? And who's got a millennium item that can find the other ones?" he asked hoping they would catch on.
"Bakura!" Yami said.
"Wow, he does have a brain" Kaiba smirked.
Joey ignored the comment. "Maybe Bakura could help us," he continued.
"Your right" Yami said. " I know where he lives, let's go," Ishizu said and all four ran out the door. They took the limo to Bakura's house and knocked hoping he was there.
"Hey there Yami" Ryou said.
"Ryou is Bakura home?" Joey asked.
"Yes...Bakura door" Ryou yelled and disappeared.
"Ahh pharaoh, what brings you here?" he said evilly.
"We need your help" Yami said.
"Oh really doing what?" he asked grinning. " We need you to use your millennium item to find Jessica's millennium bracelet," Yami said.
"Why should I help you?" Bakura smirked. Kaiba picked him up by the collar and shoved him into the wall.
"You will help us if you know what's good for you" Kaiba threatened.
"Don't threaten me mortal" he said. Kaiba let go of him, making him fall to the ground.
"I shall help you Yami and the other's find this girl you seek, that is if you give me your puzzle" he grinned. Yami looked at him.
"I will not give you my puzzle" Yami growled.
"Fine pharaoh, no puzzle, no help" he said and turned to enter his house.
"Wait" Yami said.
Bakura turned around "Yes?" he smirked evilly.
Yami looked at the tomb robber with so much hate and disgust then answered...
