Day 9:Christien Roba

Well…I'm so mad at Espa right now, I can't even think straight to type in here. I can't believe he'd keep something so important from us! I haven't told Jon, or Andy the deal. I won't put it in here, but man! How could he not tell us?! At least Jon and me! I know why he didn't tell E or Andy. They would be scared. To tell you the absolute truth, I AM scared. To think about this thing that could happen…it's not something any of us ever thought about. Well, not us younger Robas. I'm sure now that Espa's thought about it.

With all the chaos of this, I forgot to be in shock, when I ran into Nikki at Bakura's store earlier. She seemed a lot better, but there's still something off. We talked a little, and I noticed her glancing at Bakura the minute Duel Monsters came up. Then she abruptly excused herself, to help Bakura with restocking. I stood there for a few minutes, and watched them. There was also something a little different about Bakura. Wait, more than a little. But I can't figure it out! (Jon, when you read this, let me know. We gotta talk about this Bakura thing now.)

I can't wait till Saturday. It's the first week of final battles in Seto Kaiba's League. I heard he's pitting me against Kendra Underwood. That's an easy duel! I told him I wanted more challenge. Well,as far as challenge, the only one I would really break a sweat with is his brother, Mokuba. A Roba might teach him, but he still duels like a Kaiba. Mokuba's a good friend, no..GREAT friend, but as soon as you're on the dueling field..forget it. He becomes this incredible powerhouse duelist! Just like his brother. I think we Robas are lucky that Jon became friends with Mokuba Kaiba. Our lives haven't been the same since. Maybe the Kaibas will be what keeps us together.

Day 3:Espa Roba

Well, so much for private entries. Chris hacked into my diary last night, he heard a phone conversation between me and Seto. He's so upset with me right now. I don't what to do or say to help him.

Seto is willing to help me out, but I really don't like charity. My parents never asked for help, and I think that's why they wound up leaving us. It was better to leave us than lose us, I suppose. mutter Well, I'm not going to walk out on my brothers. And I'm CERTAINLY not going to lose them. I've bent over backwards to keep us together, and I will not have that ruined!!! The only thing I might actually "let" Seto do is keep Chris and Jon in his league. They need something. Dueling is in their blood thicker than mine. Christien especially. laughs out loud Joey Wheeler was around last night. He was telling me that Christien is being called the next Espa. I couldn't believe it. Well,yes, actually,I do believe it. Seeing as I started teaching Chris when he was Andy's age. Jon kinda picked it up on his own.

Andy's virus has cleared up,and he's out with Chris, buying his own DP2003. I can't imagine what a five-year-old is going to put in here. I think he just wants to be like his older brothers. chuckles Wait'll E wants one. He loves buttons. (Seto's paying for Andy's. Early B-day present.)

Well,I think that's all for now. I'm going to go outside, and see what E and Jon are doing. They've been way too quiet. See you all soon!

Day 16:Nikki Matheson

Hey Diary…long time no see. It's been a lousy last few days. I'm weak,and tired. It's the first time I've been home since the Tag Dueling event. I've only talked to Chris Roba since then. I really hope he didn't notice anything bad. I…don't even know what to put in here. So much has happened that I don't remember exacts. I've spent an obscene amount with Bakura…and his thief spirit. Some of that time is vague. I don't remember some of it.

We're living out of town right now. I'm only here long enough to make an appearance, and tell Mom I've been with Kendall all this time. I hate lying to her, but you try telling your mom you're living in fear of a thief spirit inside your coach! God, I wish I could remember what it was I was going to tell Jon Roba…it was important too.

I can't take you with me,Diary, but I promise, I'll come back as soon as I can get away from….oh no! He's here. Gotta go!

Day 7:Jonathan Roba

Holy crap! Nikki seems to be in trouble, in a very bad way. She sounds absolutely terrified. I wonder what Bakura's deal is! Scaring an innocent girl like that! Wait..what if it isn't Bakura? She kept mentioning a thief spirit….sounds like a mystery to be unraveled. If only I knew where to start. I wonder what it is that she wanted to tell me. Hmmm….

Well, as Christien said in his last entry, this Saturday starts the final battles. I'm so hyped for this! Mokuba reckons he probably won't battle the finals. He wants someone else to win. I don't believe he really wants to forfeit. But I guess he knows the prize, and he's already done it enough times.

Gah! I can't focus on league, when my best girl friend is in trouble. I'm going to Mokuba's brother's office to get help. Well,see you all later.
