"That's it. . .I'm gonna get us outta here." Honda said standing up, he aimed his shoulder at the door.
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Honda?" Yugi asked sweat-dropping as he looked at the door. "You'll mess your shoulder up pretty bad if you hit that door too hard."
"Hey, if it gets us out of here its great." Honda flinched. "Here I GO!!" he yelled as he when sprawling towards the door, his shoulder never it the door, it went through it. . .so did the rest of Honda's body.
"What he?!" Yugi jumped up and ran over to the door, he put his hand up to touch it, his hand went through. ". . .an illusion. . ." he said walking the rest of the ways through the door. He looked at Honda who was face first into the stone wall outside the dungeon. "Doing OK, Honda?" he asked trying not to laugh.
"Gu. . ." Honda's voice muffled against the wall.

Jou jumped to his feet and scooped up the chair leg, wild tears squirting from his eyes. "YOU BITCH!" he yelled at Yuyi as Mai hit the floor. He raised the leg up and ran at Yuyi, hitting her across the neck hard.
A loud snap was heard, and Yuyi's eyes shot open as she fell back on the floor, dead. Her body slowly dried up and crumbled into a pile of brown and black dust.
"Mai. . ." Jou immediately dropped to his knees next to the girl. Mai's eyes were open, and she seemed to be staring off into space. Blood poured from her stomach and chest. "Mai. . ." Jou squinted and pressed his hands down on her wounds, trying to stop the bleeding.
Mai jolted, and her mouth opened in pain. ". . .Jou. . ." she squeaked.
Jou looked at her and quickly took his blood drenched hands away, she grabbed her shoulders and held her up close to him. "Mai. . .why did you have to go and do that?!" he demanded.
". . I. . ." Mai winced and looked at him weakly. "I couldn't let her do that to you, Jou. . .I just couldn't. . ."
"Mai you could gave gotten away! You could have ran and got free of all this!" Jou was almost yelling. "Why, Mai!? Why?!"
"Jou. . ." Mai smiled at him and put her hand up on his face. ". . .I didn't want you to die, Jou. I wanted to give you a chance to live. . .I. . ." she took a weak sputtering breath and looked at him. "Jou. . .I love you. . ."
Jou blinked back the rest of his tears and looked down at the girl who rested in his lap. "Mai. . ."
"Don't say it back. . ." Mai said putting her fingers on his lips. "I don't want to leave knowing for sure that I will be leaving you here like that. . ."
"Your not going anywhere. . ." Jou said, allowing his tears to flow freely once more. "No your not leaving my Mai. . .I love you, too. . .and I won't let you die!"
"There's nothing you can do. . ." Mai looked away from him. "Jou I can't feel anything anymore, I don't even know if your still holding me or not. . ."
Jou's ands trembled as he put them back on her wounds. "Your not leaving me. . ." he whispered to her. "I'll stay here. . .like this. . .for as long as I have to. . ."
"What if Kasi comes back. . .?" Mai asked looking back at him. "Jou she'll kill us for sure."
Jou kissed her on the lips and smiled weakly at her. "Then we'll go together. . ."

Anzu blinked as she and Yami parted, a complete lose for words. ". . .Y-Yami. . ."
Yami gently pushed her away. "I'm sorry. . .I'm really sorry, Anzu. . ."
Anzu grabbed him and kissed him back, when they parted she looked at him through the darkness. "Yami. . .don't be sorry. . ."
Yami was stunned at the response she had given him, but the shocked expression on his face soon formed into a smile. "Anzu. . ."
A loud crack was heard and a zap of purple lightning flew between the two.
"Gah!" Anzu jumped away.
"Anzu! Are you OK?!" Yami exclaimed.
"Yeah. . .what was that?" Anzu asked catching her breath.
"Booby-trap Kasi set up in this place I guess. . ." Yami huffed. "Don't move. . .we might set another one off. . ."
Anzu nodded slowly and glanced around the dark world. Another zap of lightning flew between them. "I guess that one will keep setting itself off. . ." she said looking over at Yami, she saw a stern expression on his face from the light of the purple lightning bullet, which was hovering between the two of them, keeping them apart.
Anzu took another look around when he never answered her, she swallowed and turned back to him, he was just looking at her. 'He's freaking me out. . .' she thought with a slight flinch. "Yami, what are we going to do?"
No answer, he just stared.
"Yami what's wrong?" Anzu suddenly became frightened. "Yami?" she reached out to put her arm over the lightning bullet, but her fingers brought up on a steel wall, Yami's figure was drawn on it. Anzu's eyes opened wide and she screamed, he was gone. . .she was alone. . .

"Ryou! Ryou slow down!" Marik yelled as he ran after the white haired boy as they darted through the halls of the old mansion. "RYOU!"
Ryou never listened. He had to find Kasi. . .he was going to get her for what she did to Sutomi.
"Ryou, stop!!!!!!" Marik yelled again. "RYOU!"
Ryou squinted his eyes shut and he sped up. "Other keep up with me or turn back, Marik!" he yelled. "I'm NOT stopping!"
Marik's eyes narrowed and he started to run faster. "I'm still following, Ryou!!" he yelled. 'I guess I have no right to try and stop him. . .' he thought bitterly to himself. 'I don't know what its like to loose something like that. . .I guess. . .' he thought for a second, she shook his head. "Ryou can you at least wait?!"
