SG: the disclaimer is the same so please start...I think the Joey fans are coming back....eeeeppppp....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"YUGI! YUGI!! GET OVER HERE!!!"yelled Grandpa, who was trying to wake up Yugi.

"Wha? What is it Grandpa?"asked Yugi, sleepily.

"JOEY! JOEY'S ON THE NEWS!!! HE'S BEEN KILLED!!!"yelled Grandpa. That got Yugi up and fall to

rush into the the living room.

"Mr. Wheeler was found late last night by his father, dead and mauled in the shed in their

backyard....we go live to the house now with out field reporter, Jula Kuola, Jula..."

"Yes Kacey......what you see behind me is the shed that the body of 16 year old Joey Wheeler was

in....police received at a call at 4o'clock in the morning, by Joey's father. Police and his

father found Joey, dead, mauled with claw marks all over him. Also, half of his body, was eaten

off...."Jula went on and on.

"Uh...no...Joey...."said Yugi as he started to cry.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Tea`'s House

~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe Joey's dead...."said Tea` as the others meet at her house. (but Kaiba and

Mokuba)

"I know, but what was he doing in the shed?"asked Tristan.

"I talked to Joey's dad and he said that he had made Joey clean it as he was leaving...."said

Duke.

"Cleaning the shed...dude...at night...that's a prime place for a killer to strike!"said

Tristan.

"It was no ordinary killer..."said a voice. They turned around to see Bakura.

"Again..with the Youko thing..."said Duke.

"He isn't a thing....YoukoRyou is real and he just killed Joey....not like I care anyway..."

"YoukoRyou?"asked Tea'.

"Bakura has this strange idea that Ryou is a 9-tailed fox demon who almost killed him and killed

Joey......"said Duke.

"Ryou...a killer and a demon....that's stupid...it's almost like saying that Yugi's a

demon...."Tea' said.

"It is true...Isis and Malik believe me...they looked up the legend in the book....."said Bakura.

"Uh-huh....right.........and I'm prince of Egypt..."said Tristan.

"It's ******* TRUE!!!!!!"

"Right...Bakura...it's like the boy who cried wolf....and with you and your evilness and almost

killing us a few times....makes us unable to believe you....besides...how do we know you didn't

kill him...."said Yami.

"Fine...I hope you all DIE!"said Bakura as he stormed off out of Tea`'s house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaiba's Work

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Bakura.....you maybe a crazy man...but I still don't believe you...Youko's don't exist and I

have care about my past..."said Kaiba. Bakura went to Kaiba Corps to talk to him.

"But it's true....you just have to believe me....."said Bakura.

"Bakura....shut up..."said Kaiba.

"You have new message...."said Kaiba's computer. Kaiba looked at it and opened it and it read,

"Dear High Priest of Egypt,

Joey is gone...another will die too.....solve my riddle to see who it is.....or go to Domino Lake

to face me....The riddle is:

Since you are a business man who travels a lot....The Next person to die has it's name like what

you have at 4o'clock every day in England.....who is it?"

"What the ****?"said Kaiba. What he didn't know that Bakura was reading it too.

"what you have 4o'clock everyday in England......"repeated Bakura.

"Do mind...this is private...."

"Tea....."said Bakura.

"Tea?"said Kaiba.

"Yes....if you are a business man and you travel alot. At 4 o'clock everyday in England...they

drink Tea...I should know, Ryou is from England...."said Bakura.

"Tea..huh....."

"And whose name is similar to Tea's?"asked Bakura.

"I have no idea...."

"Me either......wait....type Tea on the computer..."

"Why?"Kaiba said annoyingly.

"Just do it...."said Bakura. Kaiba sighed and typed in, "Tea".

"Wait a moment.....if you put this there...."said Kaiba, typing one more thing to get, "Tea`"

"Tea`! SHE'S NEXT!!!"said Bakura as he ran out. Kaiba just stared at Bakura's sudden out burst.

"OOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKAAAAAYYYYYYY"he went back to looking at the first part of the e-mail. He picked

up the phone and said, "Julie....get my limo ready...I'm going to Domino Lake and tell Mokuba to

go straight to any of his friend's houses...."

"Yes, Mr. Kaiba...."said Julie on the phone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

Tea`'s House....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"RING RING RING!!"went Tea`'s phone. Tea` went over and said, "Hello..."

"Good you're still alive, go straight to Yugi's as fast as you can...."said Bakura.

"Bakura....why?"

"Because...you're next....he's going after you next....."yelled Bakura.

"Uh-huh right..."

"And....Yugi's doubting his friendship between you and him!"

"WHAT!!! OOOOO....YUGI!!!!!!!"said Tea` as she hung up and ran out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Streets of Domino

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I knew that thing will make her go over there...though Yugi is going to have to listen to a nice

long speech about friendship..."said Bakura as he turned a corner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Other Part of Domino

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"OOOO....as soon as I get to Yugi's...he is sooo going through a nice long speech about

frienship!!!"Tea' said as she ran down the street. Ryou walked out infront of her by accident and

they ran into each other.

"Oh! Sorry Ryou...."said Tea`.

"That's quite all right...what's the big rush?" asked Ryou as he helped Tea` up.

"Yugi is doubting his friendship with me...so I'm going to stop him..."

"Oh...that is bad...I know a great short cut to Yugi's...I'll come with you..."said Ryou.

"Okay...thanks Ryou..."Tea` said as she followed Ryou down the street.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turtle Game shop

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"YUGI! YAMI!!!" yelled Bakura as he entered the shop.

"What is it now, Bakura...."said Yami as he came out from the back.

"OH shut up...has Tea` arrived yet?" asked Bakura.

"No...why? I didn't know she's coming over..."

"She's the next one...I warned her...but she didn't believe me....soo....."

"So...what?"

"I told her that Yugi was doubting the friendship between him and Tea`...."

"YOU SAID WHAT!!!!!!" yelled Yami.

"It's the only way of getting her here....she's the next one to die...this is a safe

place!"Bakura said.

"That is ****** IT! I'M TIRED OF HEARING ALL THIS LIES ABOUT TEA` DIEING AND THIS YOUKO THAT YOU

HIKARI HAS BECOME! GET OUT BEFORE I SEND YOU TO THE SHADOW REALM!!!" yelled Yami. Bakura stared

for a moment and ran out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Streets

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are we there yet?"asked Tea`.

"Almost...just alittle further...."said Ryou infront of her.

"Okay..."said Tea`. Then, Ryou stopped. "Here we are..."

"What? This isn't Yugi's...."

"I know....this is the place..."

"Place?"

"To eat you of course..."said Ryou turning around to face her.

"Eat me? Ryou?" Tea` said. Ryou started to laugh and turned into his Youko form while still

laughing.

"You're! You're not Ryou!"yelled Tea` as she backed up.

"Of course I am....this is just something I never told you.....about...."

"You're lying......you can't be Ryou...."

"Oh I am.....that act I pulled all those years was a way to get close to humans and make them

believe I am one till the day I get all my powers back......"said YoukoRyou. Tea` backed up more

and turned around and ran.

"Heh....no where to go, Tea`....Ruma...."said YoukoRyou. Out of the bushes infront of Tea`, Ruma

jumped infront of Tea` and started to advance on her. Tea` started to walk backwards, turned

around and ran right smack into YoukoRyou. Right before she could react, he grabbed her arms to

holder her still.

"Sorry...can't have you leaving..can I..."

"She is leaving..."said a voice. YoukoRyou looked up to see Bakura, holding Ruma by the next.

"Drop her, Ryou....."said Bakura.

"You drop Ruma or I'll kill you as well...."said YoukoRyou.

"Let go of Tea` and I will...."said Bakura. They had a stare off and then,

"AHHHHHH!!!"yelled Tea` as YoukoRyou stabbed her with his claws.

"That does it!"said Bakura as he was about to snap Ruma in half, YoukoRyou pushed Tea`'s body into Bakura. That caused him to drop Ruma. Ruma then side tracked and bit Bakura in the neck.

"*****!"yelled Bakura as he got the fox off and Tea`'s body off of him. Bakura then jumped up and punched YoukoRyou inthe face. But he was faster and kicked Bakura in the nuts. Bakura was on the ground in a ball.

"I'll see you later...."said YoukoRyou as he kicked Bakura far into the woods.

"That's that..."said YoukoRyou. All of a sudden, a ringing tone was coming from Tea`'s pocket. Ruma pulled it out and it was her pink cellphone. YoukoRyou picked it up and pressed the answer button and didn't say a thing till....

"Tea`? Are you there?"asked Yami.

"Yami Yugi...."said YoukoRyou.

"Who? Whose this? Who are you? Where's Tea`?"

"Tea`? Oh...you mean the friendship racking girl....dead...dead like Joey....."

"What! WHO IS THIS!!!!"yelled Yami.

"Domino Lake...."then YoukoRyou threw the phone across the woods. He grabbed Tea` and he and Ruma disappeared.

The cellphone landed infront of Bakura. Hurtfully, Bakura grabbed the phone.

"Hello! HELLO!!"Yami was still yelling.

"Ya...mi..."said Bakura.

"Bakura?"

"He....got....he...he..her......"then Bakura passed out.

"Bakura? Bakura?"Yami's voice was still coming out of the cellphone.
