BlackMagician-Gurl25: Hey! I truly appreciate your kind words and it's always a pleasure to hear that from someone. (^_^) Actually yes I do plan to write a Malik/Tea fict. It's on my things to write list. Actually I have quite a few damn stories to write after I announced I take suggestions and story exceptions. So I have to write quite a few stories for people. (Sweat drop.) This may or may not be my last Bakura/Tea story but it will be a while before I get back to this pairing. Anyways I'll talk to you more when I E-mail ya! Thanks again!
Angelkohaku: LOL! I'm glad ya liked it! Oh and sorry about Seto, he's a favorite of mine but I just felt as if Joey should pick on him a bit since its always vise versa. I don't think he's Yaoi at all either. (^___^)
Life's Light/anime*angel: Yes, No, Yes, No…(*_*) LOL! I know I'm confusing everyone a bit but I'll tell ya…ahem good guess but it isn't Weevil. (Smiles evilly.) Nope no DBZ, this character's from Y-G-O and all of you guys know he/she….(^_^) Anyways I'm happy you enjoyed it! Hope you like this one too.
Kaz: Yep Y/M's back in! (^_^) As for Ryou…(Backs away into corner.) No comment.
Anime fan: (LOL!) Wow you think I'm that good? You've put a smile on my face I'll tell ya what. Jeez, ya know you're the 6th person to ask me that? Why me? I kinda feel like a talk show host here. (-_-) Anyways as for your boyfriend, I'm not one for advice but if I were you I'd just start a conversation with him. Get to know him and then ya know get on some subjects that would kind of make him possibly mention another girl without him realizing it. Or my favorite, have a friend do it for you. (^_^)
Okay I'd go on more but this is already like 16 pages long on my computer so…Enjoy…I hope. (-_-)
***Tea POV***
So it's just Ryou and me….me and…Ryou. (O_O) Boy am I uncomfortable. Well I have to be honest with myself I've never been alone with just Ryou before. And there he is sitting on the chair in my kitchen, eating cold pizza and talking away about the stupid things Bakura does and the different places he's traveled. He's so adorable and anyone else would have to be foolish not to fall for that gentle face of his. OMG I just came out and said it just like that??? (*_*) So much for being in denial…(-_-)
Ryou: Tea?
Tea: HUH? (Snapping out of my thoughts.)
Ryou: Are you alright?
Tea: Yeah why do you ask?
Ryou: Well I asked you if you wanted a slice and you just sat there kinda staring at me for almost 2 minutes.
Tea: ((--)___(--)) Uh…sorry just thinking.
Ryou: Well thanks for inviting me over, it's been great talking to you. But Yugi and I probably have to get on with our assignment. Mr. Baines seemed pretty serious about what he said.
Tea: Yeah I guess I should too. It's just Kaiba and Bakura aren't really the greatest to be around and their really hostile.
Ryou: Well think of it this way, if you want anyone protecting you from this lunatic stalking around then it would have to be those two.
Tea: (*_*) Yeah but they could care less with what happens to me. Speaking of Bakura, Ryou do you know why-
***Normal POV***
Z-Z-ZAP!!!!
An energy surge power outage shot through the power lines as a crack of thunder let loose from outside. Tea jumped out of her seat as Ryou stared out the window concerned. The rain was beating heavily and the lightning was shooting down every which way like a grenade launcher. First the lights went out and then everything else connected to the sockets in some way defused.
Tea: R-Ryou what's going on?
Ryou: Uh it's a storm Tea. (Sweat drop.)
Tea: Oh yeah, um boy is it pouring out there. Are you sure you want to go out in this weather? (She asked stuttering slightly.)
Ryou stared up at the brown haired girl questionably until finally the thought dawned on him. Inch by inch a gentle soothing smile spread across his carefree face. With a short sigh he stood up and approached Tea, his hands held tightly together behind his back.
Ryou: Tea are you scared of the storm?
Tea: (0_0) No, I'm scared of the fact that I have no power, the inside of my house looks like house on Haunted Hill, and your about to leave me all alone here when there's a killer or kidnapper out there picking off everyone we know! (She exhaled breathing all at once.)
Ryou: (o_O) Um if you want I could stay here until the storm blows over or your power comes back on.
Tea; Oh thanks Ryou thank you so much! (Sighing heavily.)
Shue! Good because you weren't going to leave me here alone whether you wanted to or not. (-_-) Sheesh…
Ryou: Perhaps first we should get some flashlights. (He responded searching through her drawers.)
***Normal POV***
Tea nodded and assisted him in finding some batteries. After maybe 5 minutes they had one large red flashlight and C batteries that had been slightly used by an old radio. Smiling weakly Tea flipped it on and let there be light!
Tea: Oh good it worked.
Ryou: There now, everything will be alright so just cheer up-
Click, click, click, click
Tea: (((X))_______((X))
Ryou: (((0)________________(o))))
Tea: Uh R-R-Ryou?
Ryou: (Swallowing hard.) Y-yes Tea?
Tea; W-what's that sound?
Ryou: (*_*) Your asking me?? T-this is your house! (He whispered loudly.)
Tea: It's coming from the back door. (Looking incredibly pale.) Ryou go check it out.
Ryou: (Staring at Tea like she was nuts.) W…H..A…T…??????????
Tea: You're a man go ahead!
Ryou: Uh-uh. I have a better idea.
Tea: W-hat? (Sinking closer and closer to the living room.)
Ryou: (Following Tea.) How about we….hide in the closet…
Tea: (0_0) THAT'S your idea?
Ryou: Um basically yes.
Tea: (-_-) Well alright then!
Ryou and Tea ran on their tippy toes over to the closet that stood right next to the front door. As Tea pried the ancient piece of wood open Ryou stared cautiously with horrified eyes towards the only entrance that led to the back door. The CLICK'S were growing louder and now the sound of some type of heavy thing colliding into something could now be heard.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
Ryou: (Looking rather faint.) T-Tea hurry up, whatever it is, is trying to break the door down! Maybe we should call the police?
Tea: Two words…POWER OUTAGE.
Ryou: (Swallowing really hard.)
Tea: Come on, come on, shit, shit, shit, shit! Oh No! I'm sorry I cussed, I'm sorry I cussed, I'm sorry I cussed!
Ryou: Here Tea may I try? (He asked in a choppy voice.)
Tea nodded and stepped out of the way as Ryou came through. With all his weight Ryou ran forward and knocked the door in.
Ryou: Oh good, your door is the type that goes inwards. We can hold it against the wall with our feet if it tries to open it.
Tea: (O_O) You mean it's going to find us!!!!?
Ryou: It…might. Here get in!
Just in time too, because at that exact moment a loud boom echoed through Tea's dark, shadowed house, speckles of rain dancing darkly on Tea's white walls.
From within the closet Ryou and Tea sat quietly, the jackets and shoes piled up in front of them. Tea gripped onto the flashlight as if it were her very life while Ryou dug his nails into the $200 leather shoes that belonged to Tea's mom.
Ryou: Hic Up!
Tea: OH No. (*_*)
Ryou: (Covering his mouth.) HIC UP!
Tea: Ryou if you don't control your mouth it's every person for themselves and I'm throwing you out! (She whispered.)
Ryou: (Placing his head inside the sleeve of a winter jacket.)
Meanwhile…the back door was creaking back and forth WIDE OPEN. The eerie sound sent shivers down the victim's spines from within the small cornered room. The wind and rain mixed and mingled together dancing within the house and falling flat onto the tile floor, leaving almost puddles no bigger then wet feet from dewy grass. The shadowed things stepped within the Dining Room, eyes concentrating on the shadows upon the walls.
"How do you know their here? They most likely could've been kidnapped by your truly." One voice whispered sternly, his hands placed relaxed within his pockets.
"B/c I know now shut up! I can sense my aibou 100 miles away if need be. Don't question me I know their here. Most likely hiding if I know how his mind works."
Bakura's eyes glanced across the dark house, not a shadow in sight escaped his eyes.
Bakura: He's pathetic. He is hiding, and he and the girl lie on this level.
Seto: This is ridiculous, why didn't we knock?
Bakura: B/c her father would've answered it. I really don't want to deal with mini monster right now.
Seto: Oh and breaking into the back door would've gotten on his good side. Really if I knew this was what you had on your mind the entire time I wouldn't have followed your pathetic excuse for a plan. But as I see it none of the cars are here indicating Gardener's father isn't here.
Bakura: (-_-) Whatever…let's just find them and go.
***Ryou POV***
BLOODY HELL! We're going to die! I don't want to die! Well at least not this way! All we have in here is a flashlight to protect us and that's it. ("_") Maybe if I pass out now it will be…okay?
BUMP…BUMP…BUMP…
Footsteps….and their in this room. (GULP.) Great this is just swell. I've never been so terrified before! And poor Tea, I feel just awful with myself. I can't protect her or anything. For once I really do wish Bakura was here.
Tea: (Gripping the flashlight so tight that the switch flipped on.)
Ryou: (((;O)________(O;))))
Tea…just turned on the light…uh oh. I think I'm going to be sick…
"There! It's coming from the closet!"
"Who's ever in there come out right now and stop playing these childish games."
Tea: R-Ryou I'm sorry. I-it was an accident.
Ryou: Um it's okay Tea. (He smiled calmly.)
***Normal POV***
With a rather sad look in Ryou's eyes the door creaked open just as a crack of lightning lit up the room with a blue aurora splendor.
Tea and Ryou stared up at the two completely black figures whose eyes shined a bright teal on account of the lightening.
Tea & Ryou: AWWWWWWWW!!!!
Seto: (Covering his ears.)
Bakura: (Staring wide eyed at the two dark figures within the closet.)
Tea: (Throwing the flashlight at Seto.) TAKE THIS!
Seto: (-_-) (Catching the flashlight with one hand.)
Bakura: (Blinking.) 'Is that Tea? Humph good thing Kaiba caught it. There's a three month bruise for you.'
***Tea POV***
What do I do? Well I know I'm not going to be the next victim and be a prisoner like all the others! If I go then I'm going with a bang! Here goes nothing!!
"AYIIEEE!!!"
***Normal POV***
With all of Tea's might, she sprung herself against the white haired suspect standing before her. The stranger stared at her with fixed bewildered eyes, a look of surprise all across his face. But it wasn't enough. The stranger caught the brunette girl with one hand and pulled her forward into the light inches away from his nose just as the lights flickered back on.
Tea: (Blinking.)
Bakura: What the hell are you doing? (Sweat drop!)
Seto: (Staring at the petrified Ryou still inside the closet.)
Tea: B-Bakura?
Bakura: (Growling.) What's gotten into you woman? And what were you doing in the closet with my aibou!?
Seto: Well Bakura could you blame them for freaking out b/c they heard people breaking into their house? (He mocked rather than asked in a stone cold voice.)
Ryou: Y-yeah that would-
Bakura: Shut up!
Tea: Don't tell him to shut up he's right you demented dummy! What were you guys thinking! This is my home! We have a front door you know!
Bakura: And deal with your freak show father? Not in this particular lifetime
Tea; Don't call my dad a freak show!! So he's short that means nothing! He can still kick your white butt especially after you and Kaiba broke into my home! I'm sure that'll set him off!
Seto looked from one to the other as did Ryou. It dawned on them that Tea and Bakura were still inches away from each other's faces and Bakura still held Tea's arm firmly in his hand.
Tea: Hey let go of my arm!
Bakura; Silence! I don't take orders from a measly mortal such as yourself! You should rather listen to me!
Tea: How about I do this!!!! (Coming down hard on his foot!)
Bakura: OW, You bitch! (Releasing Tea's arm.)
Ryou: (O_O) Wow Tea!
Seto: (Slightly speechless.)
Tea: Take that! Humph!
Bakura: (X)_X) She-demon!!!!
***Tea POV***
No one touches me and tells me what he can and cannot do with my body! How dare he the stupid ancient old nothing! Ugh he makes me sick! He deserves what he got! I don't even know if this is PMS mode anymore! No, this is more like DO or DIE mode!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!
***Normal POV***
Serenity: (-_-)
Tristan & Yami: (O_O)
Serenity: (Sighing heavily.)
Tristan: WHAT?
Serenity: I can't believe you went all the way home just b/c you needed to put gel in your hair.
Tristan: (Stiffening.) Uh b/c it holds the hair in place?
Serenity: (O_O) And Yami! Is that why you came with him?!
Yami: Well Serenity you see…errr….more or less.
Serenity: Yami I expected more from you. You should no better.
Tristan & Yami: (Looking rather glum.)
Serenity: For extreme hair gel users you should both know that "Extreme Hold" works best for the type of hair both of you have and it saves a $1.56! (She said sternly, placing her hands on her hips.)
Yami & Tristan: (ANIME FALL!) ((@)_(@))
Serenity: Guys? Are you two okay? Guys?
The rain beat down heavily as the thunder and lightning clashed side by side in a roll for dominance. The tall buildings shook from the vibrations above and one lamp post after another flickered after each giant bolt of energy. Yugi stayed absolutely still on the wet path staring into the dark hood of the yellow cloaked figure before him.
The cloaked figure inhaled with raspy breaths, its hands curled tight into knuckles that could not be seen by Yugi's eyes. This might've turned out different if it hadn't rain. Yugi didn't expect this sudden change in weather and now the streets, roads and sidewalks were clear of all people. Yugi himself was now going to become a victim.
Yugi: What do you want! (He yelled out sternly.)
The wicked thing breathed in and out as if he had just received lungs from a life of gills and water. The yellow cloak glimmered like a silent star rarer then any other but the stranger looked not the least bit gentle. It had to be no shorter then Malik or Bakura but no taller then Seto Kaiba. Yugi knew this couldn't be Weevil or Rex that were listed in the piece of paper in his pocket. This stranger, as it walked forward walked with almost a certain mysterious elegance all its own. It stood tall and straight as if it were some proud animal of a hidden origin. Living with a spirit itself Yugi knew this thing had powers of its own, he could almost feel the strange familiar power surging off something within the cloak. Its dark form seemed to have intentions not at all like Weevil or Rex but energy similar to Y/M or Bakura's….or even Yami. What made it even stranger to him was the fact that he could no longer tell if this was truly a man or not.
Yugi: Answer me! What do you want!
"You." It replied simply with a hoarse growl enveloping within him.
Yugi's eyes exceeded that of a dinner plate and in seconds he felt his body grasped within the darkness that surrounded him now.
'Could this be….the shadow realm?' Yugi thought before a loud pang sent him into a world of unconsciousness…..
Tristan Residents….
Tristan: Yami what is it??
Yami: (Grasping his millennium item.) YUGI! Something has happened to him! (He boomed with such force.)
Serenity: What???!!! Are you sure!!!
Yami growled at the sudden disappearance of Yugi's energy. His fists went snowy white and in a matter of seconds he blasted his way through the front door with his body full force, almost knocking the latches right off the door in the process.
Tristan and Serenity followed after him but ran into Malik, Duke and an uncomfortable looking Joey by their side.
Duke: Where's Yami going and what's wrong? He just ran right past us.
Tristan: He thinks something's happened to Yugi!
Malik: What? Ugh I knew we shouldn't have left him alone to walk home.
Tristan: You guys did what!?
Serenity: Come on there's no time for fighting right now! We have to find both of them!
Joey: (Clutching his stomach.) Right sis, let's go!
The gang raced after Yami with a slightly limping Joey close behind.
***Yami POV***
No! No! No! If anything happens to Yugi I will destroy this pursuer, I mean I will literally destroy him!!........(-_-)
I'm not going to let this happen a second time! This happened once a year ago during another one of our searches for my lost memory and I will not let it happen again! By Ra I will use every power within my grasp and find this evil wanna be!
His ass is grass! (O_O) I actually like that saying Joey made up.…Hmmm. Catchy too.
10 minutes later…
Now I feel like I'm getting closer to wherever Yugi was. I don't care if it's raining or thundering or if the wind is knocking me to the side, I must find Yugi! And well thanks to this hair gel Serenity let me borrow I feel like my hair's staying in place…(^_^) Oh what am I saying! I mean YUGI! (O_O)
***Normal POV***
The sun once again peaked through the clouds just as Yami stopped in his tracks. He heard the distant call from his friends 5-8 minutes behind or so. Nevertheless he ignored them as he studied his whereabouts. There was a pizza parlor across the street, an old theater from the 40's or 50's and some advertisements for Duel Monsters hanging along the walls and sticking to the gates. There was nothing else.
Yami: Ugh where is he!? I sense that Yugi was just here.
"Your right he was." Whispered a voice from above.
Yami darted his head up and found himself staring or rather glaring at the yellow hooded figure, sitting on top of the wall that had to be almost 25 feet up. Yami wondered what a wall so high was doing there but remembered there was a highway right behind it. It must've been used to block sound. Not that it was any quieter right here in the CITY. (----____----)
'Morons.' Yami thought to himself simply.
The dark figure chuckled at Yami mischievously placing something rather shiny within his cloak.
Yami: YOU! You are the one aren't you!? (He demanded.)
The hooded figure sat there cross legged and apparently amused by Yami's reaction.
"What if I was? Exactly what would you do about it hmmm????" It replied smoothly, its voice obviously disguised.
Yami: I will have you scream for mercy if you don't give back my friends! (His eyes shining brightly.)
"Sorry Pharaoh that doesn't work on me. I possess power that not even your millennium puzzle can penetrate. And if you value their lives you won't attack."
Yami: So…they are alive?
"Oh yes, very much so, hehehehe, does that please you or does that concern you even more. They are so much more interesting to be around when their alive, the options for their punishments are endless. You see you can't hear them scream when they are dead, it's utterly pointless." The stranger chuckled relaxing his hand on his cape covered knee.
Yami: Grr you're no more a problem then the enemies I've dealt with in the past!
"True I can't deny that. But none of them really contained as many victims or what you call hostages as I have. I like to use the word black mail in this situation. I'm sure you've heard of it." It teased, laughing cynically.
Yami: Ugh, you will not get away with this! We will find you and then we will show no mercy if any of our friends are in the least way hurt!!!! (He growled.)
"Oh well I just better watch my back then….or perhaps I'll watch yours instead. You see how can you stop what you can't see?" It replied lower then a whisper.
Yami: Why are you doing this!? What do you want!? (He pleaded looking not the least bit calm.)
It seemed as if Yami struck a nerve with that statement for the stranger quickly rose above the great wall and stood menacingly, anger indulged within every inch of him. Yami winced at the strange power he omitted but remained cool and collected.
Yami: (O_O) 'Oh shit.'
"Why am I doing this??? WHY AM I DOING THIS!!? I should not have to explain myself once again! I've explained it to you one too many times but none of you, NONE OF YOU LISTENED! Now I have been forced to make you listen! You got what was coming to you and there are no regrets! Have you not read my letters, my notes, MY warnings!? This could all have ended if you just listened to what I had to say! My life should not revolve around all of you but that's all I ever think about!!! Now, Now…NOW you have the nerve to ask me what my motives are and why I'm doing this!!? How dare you!!!! HOW DARE YOU!"
The hooded stranger hissed aloud, anger and frustration within his voice. Yami winced and raised an eyebrow at the hooded character. The stranger's anger questioned what Yami originally thought and perhaps this could work to his advantage.
Yami: If you just told me you could better understand where I'm coming from-
"NO, YOU UNDERSTAND! I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE WHAT I HAVE ASKED!" He thundered as Yami's friends came into view.
Yami: And what would that be?
"You should know!" He replied simply.
Yami: You know you won't get away with this.
Though Yami could not see it the stranger smirked maliciously.
"Maybe, that is left for me to decide."
Yami turned his head as Serenity yelled out his name. When he turned it back towards the wall, the hooded thing was gone.
Duke: Yami what happened? Did you find Yugi?
Yami stayed ever quiet as his friends and rivals crowded around him.
Malik: He is gone just like my sister and the others am I correct?
Yami: (Nodding his head.) Yes I'm afraid so.
Joey: Hey Yami what are we waiting for? We gotta catch this creep before something happens to our friends if something hasn't already! (He yelled his fists going almost blue.)
Yami: (Shaking his head.) It's no use Joey. We aren't going to find him or our friends. He will find us not the other way around. Perhaps he is watching us right this very moment.
Joey: ((*)__(*)) EEEHHH!! Dat's creepy Yami! But just da same my pal's are out there somewhere and I know their alive! I just know it!
Yami: They are Joey, they are. We must think of a way to capture this foe though. It isn't a matter of identity it's a matter of life and death.
Tristan: But we can't just stand here waiting for the creep to strike!
Yami: I agree with you Tristan but I-I don't even know where to start. I only know that this person is someone who holds a lot against us.
Duke: Why?
Yami: I'm not sure, maybe a grudge.
A tear fell before Serenity's eyes as she stared at the hard, wet pavement below her.
Serenity: Y-Yugi's gone….
Yami: Serenity I will find him, I'll find all of them!
Malik folded his arms staring directly at Yami's quizzical features. He raised both his eyebrows in curiosity as if expecting more from the Pharaoh.
Malik: You know something don't you.
Yami: I only know as much as all of you but I think the way we're coming onto all of this should change before anymore people or us basically are taken.
Malik: I agree for once but as far as retrieving my sister is concerned I think I'll handle that myself and in my own way.
Yami: Oh? And why's that? (He asked darkly.)
Malik: B/c you're too gentle with your foes and your idea of catching and punishing a criminal is giving it a lecture on right and wrong and battling it to a duel. OOOHH scary….
Yami: (-_-) How about I challenge you right here and now?!
Malik: How about we use you as bait!!?
Yami: How about we use YOU as bait!
Malik: Stop stealing my already used line you washed up has-been!
Yami: The last time I checked I was ruler of an empire not you!
Malik: The important word is WAS! Besides while you were hiding in someone else's body I was guarding your damn tomb!!!!! Hell if I hadn't left when I did, it would've been for the rest of my life!
Yami: Hmm, that's too bad I was hoping you'd go back.
Malik: WHAT!?
Joey: (*_*) Uh-
Tristan: Uh-uh Joey, you don't want to get between those two once they get started.
Duke: (Nodding his head.) Scary if you ask me.
Yami: Well no one told you to guard it!!!!!!
Malik: Yes actually they did!!!!
Yami: Your father doesn't count….besides he's dead so there!
Malik: Well you have a funny way of commanding people when you're dead too 5000 year old Pharaoh!
Yami: I'm different I'm supreme power!
Malik: Supreme power my ass!
Serenity: Uh guys?
Yami: And another thing, why didn't you die when you were supposed to!?
Serenity: Guys?
Malik: B/c I was supposed to come back and burn your ass!
Serenity: GUYS!!!!!!
Everyone: (*_*) Yes?
Serenity: (-_-) Look I found another note! Here I'll throw it to you! (She yelled from outside an alleyway.)
Yami: Throw it to us?
The next thing Yami saw was a white bouncy ball coming straight for his head. Yami caught it just in time before the damage could take affect. Everyone except Serenity, who was scanning the scene crowded around Yami and the white ball. A short but red drizzling message was written around the sphere large enough for them to read.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND ALL OF YOU WON'T LAST
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE AND HAS BECOME THE PAST
BY TOMORROW NIGHT YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE GONE UNTIL IT COMES DOWN TO ALL OF YOU AND ME
YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS BY NOW.
Tristan: Hey! What the hell!? That last sentence didn't rhyme!
Everyone: (U_U)
Duke: (O_O) B-By tomorrow night!???? (Gulp.)
Yami: What does it mean by all of you if we're all taken?
Malik: (Shrugging.) It's a riddle I don't know. (He said grumpily.)
Yami: I know this though, someone may be left alone by tomorrow night I don't know but we must all stick together no matter what!
Duke: That means we have to find the others!
Serenity: Hey why don't we-AWWWWWW! LET GO!!!!!!
The gang turned their heads only long enough to see two covered arms pulling Serenity in by the waist and dragging her off into the dark alley. Joey and the others stared horrified, perplexed and dumbfounded at the spontaneous abduction of Serenity Wheeler.
Duke: (O_O) You've got to be KIDDING ME……WHAT THE HELL????
Everyone: (Mouths agape.)
Malik: (Blinking as everyone else ran to the spot.) Well it sure as hell wasted no time there. (-_-)
Yami: There's no one here! She's gone!
Tristan: (@_@) (Feeling rather sick.)
Joey: M-my baby sister's g-g-gone? (Swallowing hard.)
Yami: Um now Joey uh…she's alive and we are going to get her and the others….back…(-_-)
Joey fainted and collapsed to the ground, luckily Tristan caught him but his own love was gone…as was Duke's.
Malik: Oh well I see the idiot took it well. Now he knows sorta how feel. Kind of…
Duke: She was taken just like that??! (Blinking.)
Malik: Now you see why all of us must not be alone?
Then the thought occurred to him…Malik himself could become a victim.
Malik: Shit wait, I don't want to be alone in my house tonight! (Panicking.)
Joey: (X)__________________________(X)
Tristan: What about me???!!!!
Yami: What about your parents? Can't they protect you?
Duke: (Dropping his dice.) I DON'T EVEN LIVE WITH MY PARENTS!
Malik: The hell have you been ass?! You should know my life from top to bottom by now!
Yami: Well I suppose Rishid could protect-
Malik: (-_-)
Yami: (Sweat drop.) How about we stay at my house tonight, since we don't have any school just the same and it is Friday. Perhaps we can even catch this criminal by then. (Thinking positively but on the inside panicking.)
Tristan: MY LOVE IS GONE! (;_;)
Duke: Screw hiding, I want to find this freak and get Serenity back now! We need to go to the cops! We need to take this seriously, we need to-
Yami: Duke the police will serve no purpose. It's up to us now and you know it. We must stop this ourselves and rescue our friends before it's too late.
Malik: Hey and who made you the hero of this?
Yami: No one.
Malik: Then stop talking as if you're the damn leader and commander! I say we stay at Kaiba's place tonight whether he likes it or not!!
Everyone
who's left: (o_O) KAIBA!!??
Joey:
(Jumping up.) SERENITY! Wait Kaiba????
Everyone: (Anime FALL.)
Malik: (-_-) Think about it. Who has the best technology and protection around? Kaiba does. His house is like a military fort. He has access to everything and there's by far enough room for all of us. Besides I know Kaiba knows more then what he's letting on about. He's holding information back so he can ensure himself an A the freaking lunatic.
Tristan: Jeez that guy's got issues.
Yami: Hmm you make a good point Malik.
Yami stared down at the red written ball and at the very spot Serenity was last seen. He squeezed the white rubber ball with all his might, placing it into his pocket and curling his other hand into a tight fist.
Seto: Then we must first go to Tea's house.
Tristan: Why there first Yami?
Yami: B/c that is where he and Bakura are heading to pick up their other partner. Besides we must join together and retrieve Tea and Ryou as well.
Tristan: Then we better hurry. (Sweating.)
Yami: (Raising an eyebrow.) Why?
Tristan: B/c her dad gets home at 6:00….
Yami: (O_o) Dear Ra…
Duke: (Looking pale.)
Malik: Why, who is Tea's father.
Tristan: (Rubbing the back of his head.) Hehehe, uh someone you don't want to meet.
Malik: (Shrugging.) Then let us go and stop wasting time already…
Yami: Hey Malik?
Malik: What is it now!?
Yami: Where is your Yami? (He asked grimly.)
Malik: Most likely at my house.
Yami: Then we should retrieve him too.
Malik: Why?
Yami: B/c so far no one has been killed but if your Yami is out of his Poke ball then we have a problem.
Malik: (Glaring.) Funny…real funny. Well then fine.
Duke: Joey are you okay? Um Joey?
Tristan put an arm on Duke's shoulder shaking his head from side to side. Duke stared depressingly at the blonde boy, who stared towards the dark abbey, his eyes utterly empty and soulless. All energy and life had been zapped from him and his heart torn to pieces as if pierced by a wooden steak.
Joey: Serenity…..Mai….Yugi…..Isis….Pegas—ERRR….I'm gonna get ya back.
Yami: (Staring at his friend.) 'Don't worry Joey, I will not fail you.'
Malik: 'The dumbass who kidnapped my sister is going to die. No really he's going to die! Or she or whatever the hell it is! First I'm going to divide its body parts into sections then-
Duke: 'Serenity where are you? I swear if this thing has hurt you in any way I'm going to shove my dice so far up his covered cape bare behind that-
Tristan: 'Hmmm well I guess Serenity wasn't joking when she said this Strong Hold works…(^_^) Wait what am I saying!? I've got to think of my friends, Of Serenity!!!'
