Author's Note #2

Here's chatper two! I hope chapter one was fairly enjoyable and if it wasn't.. eh too bad! :D!

Originally this fic was supposed to be all about Bakura; Bakura's POV and what not, but it didn't turn out that way. Which is perfectly fine, I think it turned out better this way. In this chapter Joey and Tristan show up, the people I showed this chapter to thought it was entertaining and I really hope you do too! Please read and review as always and enjoy~!

Disclaimer: For reasons unknown, I still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh it be manga or anime, which the show is better off this way. All characters and the like are still and forever copyright to their loved and respected owners.

Chapter Two

.: Ice Cream Stroll :.

~

" So, Yugi, you heard about that poor boy that was killed last night? " Tea' asked concerned, " I hope no one else gets murdered, this is really terrible.. " Her eyes glistened slightly with fear. The short duelist prodigy walked along side his friend drowning in a whirl pool of thoughts. " Should I tell Tea' about the dream? " He questioned himself. " If I do, she may get hurt.. "

" Yugi? " Tea' placed a hand delicately on his shoulder. " Are you alright? " " Huh? " He snapped out of his train of thought a bit startled, " Yes, I'm fine. " The young boy redeemed himself with a quick nod and a light smile.

Before Yugi could say another word a certain blonde duelist raced up from behind him with a good friend not too far back, " Ey! Yugi! Tea'! " " Hey, Joey! Tristan! " The tall brunette girl waved to the other two boys. Joey slowed down with a skid, slapping a hand on Yugi's back, " Hey Yuge! What's up? " Tristan approached the group not too long after taking deep breathes. " Jeeze, Joey! You didn't have to run so fast! "

" Eh, yes I did. " The blonde argued with his friend. Tristan wrapped his arm around Joey's neck, putting him into a tight strangle hold, " I was trying to talk to you man! Then you took off on me. " Joey struggled waving his arms rapidly, his duel disk nearly smacking his buddy and putting him into a coma.

" Dat's 'cuz I saw Yugi and Tea'! " Joey gasped for breath and choked. " Well, you could've said something before running off like a puppy with it's ass on fire! " "Awright! Jeeze! " Yugi gave an abstract smile at the two, they were always something else in the morning, " Okay guys, I think that's enough. "

The taller boy let go of the blonde's neck, " Sorry, about that Yugi. So, what's going on, man? " Joey made another gasp for oxygen before starting up again, " No! It's not enou– " " JOEY! " He backed off at the booming sound of Tea's voice with the feeling that he shrunk in size.

She turned away bringing her attention to more important matters, " Yugi and I were talking about the death that happened last night. You know that little boy? " " W-WHAT!? " Joey interrupted with surprise printed across his face. " You didn't hear about it? " Yugi was just as surprised as Joey was. " It's printed everywhere, Joey! How could you not have? " " Ey! Shuddup, Tristan! I don't watch the news or nothin' alright!? "

He continued to argue with his best bud from the olden days as Tea' slapped her forehead. " Anyway, guys! " Yugi stood there trying his hardest not to laugh, which would provoke Tea' even more.

" A young boy was brutally murdered last night! I'm really worried about it. " Joey focused his attention back to Tea'. " Seriously? Sounds like somethin' out offa Scream movie. " "Ergh... Joey! Aren't you worried? " Tea' had just about had it with the other boy. " Of course I am! I was jus' sayin'. " " Ah, Joey.. " Tristan gripped the oblivious one's shoulder; a signal to stop while he's ahead.

" He was stripped of his duel disk and they found his cards scattered, but– " Yugi decided to add what he knew to fill Joey in, but hesitated for a moment. " What is it, Yuge? " "Nothing, " he shook his head immediately, " they just don't know who it was. "

" Man, this is creepy! " The blonde exclaimed, rubbing his hands up and down his upper arms. Tristan placed a hand behind his head in thought, staring up at the clear blue sky, " Do you think they'll find out who it was anytime soon? " "I'm not sure, Tristan, but I hope they do," Tea' replied, nervousness coated her words.

" Heh, yeah, me too.. " The small duelist added a bit late, Yugi had to find Bakura fast before anything else could happen.

" Aw, right! " The Red Eyes duelist marched out of a near by ice cream shop with a cone of chocolate ice cream. " No, murderer is gonna scare da all mighty Joey Wheeler! " Joey thrusted his cone into the air as the ice cream slipped off. " Eh, dammit! " He bent down trying to scoop up as much of the ice cream as humanly possible; dispite how disgusting it would be. " Com'mon! In da cone! You can do it! "

Joey stood up slowly with some ice cream ( and other nauseating things found on a sidewalk ) in his cone. " Here we go! " Just before he took a lick out of his frozen dessert a ghostly hand gripped his shoulder. " I don't think that's very sanitery, Joey, much less healthy. " " WAH! " Joey jumped back; his ice cream falling into a small bush.

" God dammit! " He looked the other way at his ice cream before turning his attention to the person in front of him. " Eh heh, it's only you Bakura. Whattcha' doin' out so late? " Bakura gave Joey a sweet smile before continuing. " Just out for an evening stroll around the block, now that I bumped into you, I think I may get myself some ice cream a bit later. " The silver haired boy chuckled a bit at the steamed blonde. " Ey! " He crossed his hands over his chest for a brief moment.

" Hey, Bakura, did you hear about what happened da' other night? With that lil'boy gettin' killed? " Joey asked, uncertain if Bakura had known. " Yes, it's just dredful, I don't see how anyone could do such a thing and for what purpose? " Joey let out a weary sigh, " I don't know, Bakura. "

" Hmm... " For a few seconds Bakura looked off to the side his eyes fading off into the darkness, " Hey, Joey? " " Hm, yeah? " The blonde's attention snapped back to the other boy. " What gave you the courage to come out here after what had happened? I mean, if I were you I'd stay in doors this late at night. " Joey laughed a bit, " Same ta' you Bakura! After a murder who in der right mind would come out n' take a walk!? "

Bakura laughed along with Joey; the innocence in his laughter fading until it was nothing but a cold chuckle, " Hmm. Who do you think, in their right mind, would be out after someone had been killed recently, Joey? Who do you think!? " Joey's hard laugh immediatly haulted as his eyes grew wide, the boy knew this tone of voice all too well. " B-Bakura? "

* And there you have it, chapter two! I'm going to start working on chapter three right now and pull you all out of suspense. If you're not in suspense then.. I have failed.. ._. OH WELL~! I'm still going to continue nonetheless. :B

I think Joey was enough entertainment for this chapter... but here a Yami Bobble Head.

:: Yugi pokes at the little bobble head that is Yami, it's head springs back and forth. Yugi does it several more times until suddenly.. the head flies off hitting the real Yami. ::

" DAMNIT, YUGI! "

" O_____O :: Little Yugi runs before getting mind crushed. :: "

End.
