Joey: Oh..wait what does that mean.

*** POV of Someone***
How can I put this gently.hmm.I'm sick of it. I'm sick of all of it. I can no longer deal with them any longer. At first I thought I was angry. Angry at the way they treated me, angry the way they abused their powers, and especially angry if you could believe it, at the way they treated each other. It just made me sick. It was only a matter of time before I snapped. Now that I have calmed down somewhat I regret nothing. This had to come eventually. Now as they approach the door that I stand behind patiently, listening to their nearing footsteps, I ask myself.Was this all worth it? I wonder if the others would agree.The things that are about to happen I can't say I'm going to regret but it's necessary. I must not back down now. They all had this coming. All of them.
No matter, in the next few minutes it will be too late for me to do anything. It is out of my power, out of my reach. They must be judged and sentenced this time. I guess that sounds somewhat bad but I know this is the truth. They are about to face harsh love in some sad way. I really don't want to hear their screams anymore. I'm sick of it. And to think that this really started in Battle City. It was the same time when I began feeling.was it anger.I know there was anger before this, but what they did I cannot just simply forget because they could care less today. I must test to see whether they have changed, whether they have become something different, whether they must be put to rest or not. As for the others, well I cannot live with them the way they act if so. My fellow VIEWERS would feel the same. Each of them also felt there was a lesson to learn. This lesson may be painful but in the end.we all knew this would be the fate sooner or later. In the end they were only delaying the inevitable.
***Normal POV***
Tea: That's all the rooms, there aren't anymore!
Joey: Maybe he's gone.
Seto: Yes and maybe pigs fly.
Joey: What are ya getting at?
Seto: That you're a-Oh forget it I'm not going to bother.
Joey: Ya know Kaiba, if insulting me to make yourself feel better helps then I ain't gonna stop ya. But you're gonna have to stop becoming so insecure sometime.
Seto: (Quiet.)
Mr. Baines: (Raising an Eyebrow.)
Bakura: Holy Mother of Ra, the moron said something smart for a change.
Yami: Joey I'm impressed. Who taught you that?
Joey: Well.you did.
Yami: (Caught off guard.) Me?
Joey: Yeah a long time ago.
Yami stared down at the ground, taking in Joey's soft words little by little. Boy had he changed. He didn't mean to, but now that they were together in the worst possible situation, everything seemed so desperate.
Yami: Joey you're right.Perhaps I too need to take a second glance at myself and trust my own h-
Bakura: I swear if you say heart I'm going to kill you.
Yami: (O)_(O)
Bakura: I'm so sick of you talking about you're damn heart!!! It is an organ you know that right? I've seen it! It pumps blood to the rest of your body that's it!!!
Joey: Na, I'm pretty sure it's da heart.
Yami: I think so too, just ignore him.
Tristan: Uh yeah but if it isn't then what is it?
Bakura: (Losing his mind.) (o_o)
Joey: How about da..brain?
Bakura: You idiots it's your spirit not you're freaking heart!
Seto: Well even if that's so Bakura, it's something you're without now isn't it? (He finally spoke up after a long silence.)
Bakura stared long and hard towards Kaiba with hate ingested eyes. He glanced from one face to other as they stared at him with disappointment and nothing more. Kaiba had never managed to beat Bakura in words, well nothing that had bothered him before but it finally happened. Seto Kaiba nailed him in the chest with that long pause and everyone knew it, even the teacher who stood staring in a different direction, trying his best to ignore the argument that had begun so simply.
Tea: You're wrong Kaiba.
Seto: Am I?
Tea: Yeah I mean Bakura may seem pretty nasty at first and he did.stab that.guy.but on both occasions he didn't realize what he was doing.
Bakura: (Scratching his head.) I didn't?
Tea: (-)_(-) Bakura..stabbed that boy b/c he thought it was the killer. I.really don't know how to deal with that sort of situation now but I know this.Bakura didn't mean to. It's the same with his life. It wasn't his fault the way he grew up. Being treated the way he did you'd turn out that way too, you should know Kaiba. (She said coldly.)
Seto: Humph.
Malik: I for one agree. The insane freakazoid has done many things wrong but so have I. And yet I was allowed a second chance. I believe whether he's lived a tormented life in the millennium ring or not, he still has a spirit.whether he chooses to except it or not-and Y/M if you say anything at all so help me I'm going to-
Joey: So uh Yami is what I said making things worst?
Yami: (His arms folded looking rather serious.) No Joey, I believe you've broken the ice.
Duke: Hey uh teacher here..
Malik: (0_0) Well..we.were..joking?
Mr. Baines: What do you mean by kill someone? (Skeptical.)
Everyone: (Blinking.)
SILENCE
Mr. Baines: Well?
Everyone: (Staring at each other dumbfounded.) OH NOTHING!
Tristan: You know TEACH, (Slang.) we've been in every room I'm almost positive.
Mr. Baines: (Sighing wearily.) I think you're right.
Duke: Maybe it's time to give up.
Joey: No way!!!! I know my sis is in here I just know it!
Yami: Joey.
Joey: Come on Yami ya can't lose hope now!
Yami: Yes I know Joey but.the odds are against us. Remember Tea was only making an educated guess.
Tea: Hey! My guesses are always right when I'm on-
(Blink, Blink.)
Yami: Yes when you're on your what?
Tea: Fear Dotcom??? (Smiling nervously.)
Seto & Bakura: (SWEAT DROP.)
Joey: Come on Yami it's my sis! I know she's just gotta be here!
Seto: I agree.
Joey stared at Kaiba strangely. That's the first time he's heard that before.
Joey: ya do?
Seto: Yes. Having a sibling of my own I know how he feels and I'm not going to give up until I find Mokuba even if I have to go alone. If Joey believes his sister's in here then I don't doubt him, b/c I too know what it feels like to feel a connection with someone you hold close to your heart.
Y/M: Oh that was rich.
Malik: Oh shut up!! I feel the exact same way about Isis as well!
Y/M: (Rolling his eyes.) Dear Ra if any of you begin to cry I cannot be responsible for my actions.
Mr. Baines: Okay um if you're done I'd like to point out one thing.
Tea: Hey he was in the middle of a pretty nice speech there.
Mr. Baines: (U_U) Well, he can finish later. I forgot there may be one more room. It's all the way at the end of this hall. It's the old Science lab.
Tristan: Hey isn't that the one where Joey set that girl's purse on fire with the stuff in the red bottle and.OH! (*))_((*)
Joey: Thanks TRISTAN.
Mr. Baines: (Smiling.) That would be the one. It still has caution tape around it if I remember. If anyone or anything would be anywhere it would be there. No one's been in it since.
Seto: Well why are we standing around here like numbskulls? Let's go.
Y/M: (--))_(--)) Yes let's, I'm about to fall asleep.
The lights flickered on and off the closer they got. A window was cracked slightly allowing the wind to gust in like an uncontrollable surge of ghostly power, urging the dimming group to approach closer.closer to the yellow stripped door that stood right at the end of the hallway. Its chipping wood falling to the ground with every blow of air that came in contact with it. The yellow tape blew softly, rubbing against the rusted knob, like fingernails on a chalk board. The bolts were so loose and untaken care of, that the door pushed itself almost halfway open and then closed wildly again, as if some beast were trying to escape from the other side, clawing to get out! The wind moaned with short breaths as it entered between the cracks of the door, having little room to enter, and so taking with it leaves, dusts, and other particles that entered from outside the school building.
Bakura: (Cocking an eyebrow.) You've got to be F****** joking me.
Everyone: () .....................
Tristan: Ahem.well.there's no way in hell I'm going down there.
Duke: Baby.
Tristan: You go down there then.
Duke: (O_O)
Tristan: Yeah that's what I thought.
Tea: Well um.maybe if we wait something will happen.
Everyone: (Turning their heads slowly towards Tea.)
Tea: WHAT? It could happen.
Mr. Baines: Now kids I think you're being a bit childish don't ya think? Here I'll show you there's nothing here.
The teacher stepped forward carelessly, ignoring the wind as it picked up greatly. This did not escape Y/M's eyes. His insides were churning madly the closer the man stepped towards the door.
"Yes this is it.This is what we've been waiting for."
Mr. Baines: See? There's nothing to fear.
"Fear me."
Bakura: (Pulling Tea back.) Wait.
Mr. Baines: Who said that?
"I did you foolish mortal."
Mr. Baines stepped back slowly and carefully, horror glistening in his eyes. His mouth hung loosely open as were the others as a ghostly thing stepped through the enclosed door, covered from top to bottom in a paling yellow hood.
Malik: I knew it. I knew you'd show yourself again. (He spat, pulling out the millennium rod.)
"OOH I'm so shocked. It isn't a surprise that Gardener would figure out the clues from the midget and his lesser half's conversation."
Yami: You knew?!!! You heard us??!!!
"My dear Pharaoh I know everything. There is very little I'm not aware of now happy to say and yet grieved to know."
Y/M: Okay that made no sense. But now I can have some fun.
"Oh is that so? How can you have fun with something you can't harm hmmm??"
Y/M said nothing. The door clearly showed he could not physically harm him.just yet.
"I am not surprised. I was sick of the game I was playing, so I thought it would be best for all of you to come to me, Yes?"
Yami: GRR I challenge you to a Duel right here right NOW Blood Man!!
"AW Yes the Blood Man word again. Funny how I received such a charming name. Yet I haven't really spilled blood yet. Hehehe well I suppose I should emphasize the word YET. Oh yes a Duel now.Hmm well I'm sorry but I've never been much of a Dueler. Besides this is not what this is about."
Seto: Well why don't you explain to us what this is about and then step out of the way so we can take back our friends.
Tea: 'Did Kaiba just say friends?'
Mr. Baines: Listen the police will come and track you down. It would be in your best interest to turn yourself in.
"You know you're absolutely right. I think I'll march down to the police station right now. I am so ashamed. HAHAHA!!"
Mr. Baines: You know sarcasm isn't necessary.
Malik: I say we end this now! (He snapped pointing his rod towards the hooded thing.)
"Ohh what do you intend to do with that Ishtar boy?"
Malik: I intend to break your ass!
Surprised, Bakura and Yami stepped back with a somewhat proud Y/M looking on from behind.
Joey: Yeah and when he's done with you I'm gonna step in!
Tristan: Me too!
Duke: Me three!
Yami: Face it, you're outnumbered and out-powered! Step down, this is your last chance to save yourself!
"Fool! Don't threaten me!!! I'm the only one here allowed to do that!" As his words spitted through the hallway, a long sleeved finger shot forward straight at Malik's head. Malik, startled by the sudden pointing, let his guard down and before he knew it, he crashed into the wall leaving a piece of the wall to come crashing down on his head. His millennium rod that had been held tightly in his hand the entire time, swung forward in mid air right smack into the gloved yellow hand.
Bakura: MALIK!!!
Y/M stared as the gang ran to Malik's aid in a hurrying fury. Tea and Tristan tried to help him up as he rubbed his bruised head carefully, but so dazed, he fell back down. , Reluctantly, Malik stared up at the stranger, grimacing and snarling at the Blood Man with one closed eye.
Malik: Bastard! I'd like to see you try that again! And give that back it's mine!
Tea: Malik quiet! You're going to provoke him more!
Malik: That's the idea! (He snapped.)
Y/M: What power that creature has..Is he even human?
Yami: How dare you! You'll pay for that!
Joey: Yeah ya can't just throw people around like dat!!
"Hehehehehe I just did. Here I'll show you again Joey Wheeler."
Before Joey could object, a great force knocked him back against a solid object that just so happened to be Tristan.
Tristan: (O_O) OOF!
Joey: AW!!
Tea: Hey stop it!!!!
Duke: Hey are you guys alright?
Joey: Y-Yeah I think. Hey Tristan danks for breaking my fall.
Tristan: (x))_((x) Any..time..
Yami and Bakura had, had enough. In perfect unison, the two once ancient spirits stepped forward, their millennium items glowing with wondrous force around their necks.
"Do you think that you can defeat me so easily? HMMM??"
Yami: I highly doubt it.
Bakura: But with our powers combined we can. (He smirked confidently.)
Yami turned his head slightly to the side in some astonishment at the determined Tomb Robber standing right next to him. He smiled slightly, not allowing anyone to see his appreciation for Bakura's help. Secretly he thanked him.
The Hooded figure frowned noticeably under the lowered hood. His silence spoke for him. He could not do such a task on his own.
"Don't forget about me." A lone voice replied out of the darkness of a corner. The spirits turned their heads as the group turned from where Malik was to the familiar voice. Kaiba was now almost right next to Yami, glaring at the Blood Man with such determination and seriousness, it almost bothered the kidnapper.
Yami: Kaiba what are you doing? (He whispered.)
Seto: We are working in this TEAM thing aren't we?
Yami: (Nodding his head slowly.)
Seto: Then if you don't mind I'd like to participate as well.
Malik couldn't decide from his laying spot who was in a greater amount of shock, Bakura, Yami or the BLOOD MAN! Try as Tea and Duke might, Malik wouldn't budge from the ground. His eyes were plastered on the three figures before him, who had formed a semicircle around the yellow hooded stranger.
Yami, smirking slightly, stepped forward, the other two doing the same.
Tea: Be careful you guys.
Malik: (0_0) Um Tea..
Tea: Yeah Malik? You need some help up?
Malik: No.I need you to retract those claws of yours you have embedded in my s-s-skin..
Tea: (Sweat drop.) Oops.sorry.
Malik: Ooof.
Tea: Um.if you need stitches I'll pay for it OK?
Malik: (-_-) Thanks a lot.
"Not another step forward!!" The Blood Man cried pointing the rod instead of his index finger.
Yami halted, as did Seto and Bakura on his left side.
Bakura: You cannot defeat the three of us with that stolen millennium rod alone.
"I have other powers as you have already witnessed.or should I say Joey and Malik have already witnessed." He chuckled dryly.
Malik: () Rub it in why don't you. (Crossing his arms.) Thief...
Duke: UH.This really isn't the time to be holding grudges Malik.
Tea: Yeah Malik you're fine, suck it up. See, Joey's doing well, he's taking it like a ma-.
Tristan: ((x))___((x)) JOEY...GET.OFFFFF..ME!!!!!!!
Joey: OW! My head hurts! Damn Blood Man idiot!! I need a doctor!!
Malik: (Cocking an eye.) You were saying?
Tea: (-_-) Oh shut up and suck it up!
Blood Man: (--))_((--) SILENCE! Just the same it's only the three of you.I have won.
Y/M: Not quite you imposter! (Stepping up.)
Bakura: What the hell is this, the four Musketeers?
Yami: (Smiling.) All for one and one for-
Bakura: You finish that sentence and you'll be the next to go.
Yami: .....so hostile.
Bakura: Oh stuff it.
Seto: (Sweat drop.)
Y/M: I highly doubt you can handle our combined strength.
The stranger loudly snarled, returning the millennium rod to within his hooded coat. It seemed as if he had been beaten. But not quite yet.
It was now Bakura's turn to take another step forward, with much hate within those undaunted eyes of his. It seemed to the kidnapper that they were closing in on him incredibly too close for comfort.
"I told you not to take another step forward. Are you deaf boy?"
Bakura: Are you blind, or is that stupid thing on your head blocking you're view? I've seen the fear in you. You cannot win.
"Hehehe perhaps not at the moment, but then again your friends are at my mercy." He chuckled pulling out a small remote control.
Bakura: (Blinking.) What's that?
"The answer to your friend's fate. As you know this used to be a laboratory right?"
Yami: Yes, yes, your point!
"As I see it there are chemicals in here, very dangerous chemicals. Aw yes didn't Joey have a small explosion in here? Hmmm it's all coming back now.
Joey's eyes widened in horror, as he raised himself on both unstable legs.
"This remote control is all it takes to light a flame from within. With that said and done all of your friends will be no more, and we will have to start all over so as I may receive new victims. Perhaps it will take numerous trials to prove and make my point."
Yami: (Growling.) And what is that??!!
Seto: Yes you have yet to specify what we have done to you!!
"Silence!!! You're lying has been enough! Now in return for my suffering we can do this in two different ways.I can kill everyone inside this room and start fresh again OR I can take just one of you."
Duke: One of us? For what?
"For the purpose of the others of course. I would like to know how strong you're friendship is, of course if you can find the solution to the problem of my game, than there is no death for any of you. Sadly I was hoping for better results."
Tea: You're a sick person you know that? (She spat out through watery eyes.)
"Yes well, it takes one to know one my dear Gardener."
Y/M: I really don't care in this matter so-
"I realize you don't care and that is why whatever decision you make is not yours. You may die with the others or you may give up your life for them, those are YOUR only choices." The Blood Man cut in, grimly.
Y/M: (Snarling.) HOW DARE YOU!!!
Yami: I'll go.
Y/M: You-Wait what?
Yami: If you want to take someone take me. Let the others go and never return. (He replied simply.)
Y/M: Fine..
Tea: NO! Yami please don't!
Yami: It is the only way Tea.
Bakura stared at Tea carefully, with a fixed expression that could charm a cobra.
Bakura: No Pharaoh I think you've done enough deeds. Besides its making me sick to my stomach.
Yami: Huh? I don't get what you're saying Bakura. (He replied cocking his head to the side.)
Bakura: It is my turn to be the hero I suppose. (Smirking.) Only this once mind you.
Yami: (Lost for words.) WH-WHAT??!!!!!!!!
Tea stared in utter disbelief at the white haired boy, and for a second her heart skipped a beat. Quickly recovering from her blow, as was the rest of them, she stood up from all fours and ran straight for-
Tea: BAKURA NO!
Yami: (Gasping.)
Tristan: Tea?
Blood Man: 'What is this?'
Tea clung herself to Bakura's chest, wrapping both arms around his waist and crying silently into his shirt, catching the white haired Tomb Robber completely off guard. His eyes stared out in shock, his jaw slowly dropping as he reverted his gaze towards the brown haired girl below him. What-what was she doing?
Yami: (*_*) Tea.
Tristan, Joey & Duke: (Mouth agape.) ....silence....
Malik was speechless to say the least. He stared through a slightly bruised eye still on the ground, still comprehending the past 10 seconds.
Tea: I won't let you do that Bakura. Sorry not this time, you'll have to try that another time. (She said cockily as best she could through sniffles.)
Bakura: Tea I.Tea get off.
Tea: Please Bakura stop it.
Bakura: Tea Get off.
He replied forcefully, dropping his arms to both his sides carelessly, as he stared straight for the ceiling, ignoring Tea completely. Those cold slanted eyes retuned once more, and only Yami and Seto Kaiba could see the hurt and unsure emotions curling up inside him once again.
Bakura: Tea-
Tea: No.if you go then.
Bakura: This is not the time to get mushy.
Y/M: 'I'll say.How sickening. Especially from a guy like that. Ugh I need something to torment.'
Tea: I know.instead of Bakura.Blood Man or whoever you are take me instead!!!!
Bakura: (Stiffening.) What did you say?!!
Joey: TEA NOO! (He cried out, standing up immediately.)
She yelled out, releasing Bakura and facing the hooded man. Yami's concerned expression changed into a facial expression of pure horror! He couldn't, he wouldn't let her!
Bakura: Tea don't be so stupid!! (He snapped out in rage.) I told him to take me and that is it!!!
Tea stood her ground, as the others stared from one person to the next completely out of things to say. The Blood Man on the other hand was completely intrigued. This was starting to prove interesting. Now just a little more and he could.
Seto: Tea stay out of this.
Tea: No way!
Seto: You may not listen to what your boyfriend has to say but you will listen to me. Whatever is to happen to anyone it will happen to me. I will not let anything happen to my brother or.
Blood Man: Or what?
&&&&
Zoeygirl: TADA!! Hehehe just joking. Actually there's a two parter and it's the next one after this one. I put them out at the same time so yep. Anyways I know this was a little more serious But I couldn't really do this without some angst in it so um hope ya liked! See Ya'll people later! (O_- .)
Zoeygirl: Hey look at that I'm back again!
(Groans.)
Zoeygirl: Hey, hey, hey! Anyways I'm really sorry about the screw up on the chapters and all. I was fixing the name of a chappie and of course I couldn't do it without screwing up the entire thing. (-_-) I am SO taking a computer course next year..Anyways I promised you guys the identity and that's what you guys are getting. Hopefully I won't give you guys a heart attack with this chappie I know you guys are kinda anxious to know who it is. Hey I'm not gonna hold back anymore! (^___^) Um yeah this chappie is gonna have a lot in it so bare with me. Oh yeah, there will be maybe 3-4 more chappies after that but uh that's it. THEN hehehehe then I get to put up my "Baby."
Everyone: (WHF?!) BABY?
Zoeygirl: Yes my baby..hehehehe ya know.
Joey: Ya gonna have a baby?
Tea: (Bonks Joey across the head.) NO JOEY! She means her new story! You know with HIM in it.
Joey: Oh you and HIM.EW.
Bakura: Yeah I'm not to fond of it either.
Zoeygirl: I AM! (Jumps up and down.)
Tea: And Joey you're going to be a main character too!
Joey: Oh cool.wait what? I haven't learned my lines.

Everyone: (Staring at each other dumbfounded.) OH NOTHING!
Tristan: You know TEACH, (Slang.) we've been in every room I'm almost positive.
Mr. Baines: (Sighing wearily.) I think you're right.
Duke: Maybe it's time to give up.
Joey: No way!!!! I know my sis is in here I just know it!
Yami: Joey.
Joey: Come on Yami ya can't lose hope now!
Yami: Yes I know Joey but.the odds are against us. Remember Tea was only making an educated guess.
Tea: Hey! My guesses are always right when I'm on-
(Blink, Blink.)
Yami: Yes when you're on your what?
Tea: Fear Dotcom??? (Smiling nervously.)
Seto & Bakura: (SWEAT DROP.)
Joey: Come on Yami it's my sis! I know she's just gotta be here!
Seto: I agree.
Joey stared at Kaiba strangely. That's the first time he's heard that before.
Joey: ya do?
Seto: Yes. Having a sibling of my own I know how he feels and I'm not going to give up until I find Mokuba even if I have to go alone. If Joey believes his sister's in here then I don't doubt him, b/c I too know what it feels like to feel a connection with someone you hold close to your heart.
Y/M: Oh that was rich.
Malik: Oh shut up!! I feel the exact same way about Isis as well!
Y/M: (Rolling his eyes.) Dear Ra if any of you begin to cry I cannot be responsible for my actions.
Mr. Baines: Okay um if you're done I'd like to point out one thing.
Tea: Hey he was in the middle of a pretty nice speech there.
Mr. Baines: (U_U) Well, he can finish later. I forgot there may be one more room. It's all the way at the end of this hall. It's the old Science lab.
Tristan: Hey isn't that the one where Joey set that girl's purse on fire with the stuff in the red bottle and.OH! (*))_((*)
Joey: Thanks TRISTAN.
Mr. Baines: (Smiling.) That would be the one. It still has caution tape around it if I remember. If anyone or anything would be anywhere it would be there. No one's been in it since.
Seto: Well why are we standing around here like numbskulls? Let's go.
Y/M: (--))_(--)) Yes let's, I'm about to fall asleep.
The lights flickered on and off the closer they got. A window was cracked slightly allowing the wind to gust in like an uncontrollable surge of ghostly power, urging the dimming group to approach closer.closer to the yellow stripped door that stood right at the end of the hallway. Its chipping wood falling to the ground with every blow of air that came in contact with it. The yellow tape blew softly, rubbing against the rusted knob, like fingernails on a chalk board. The bolts were so loose and untaken care of, that the door pushed itself almost halfway open and then closed wildly again, as if some beast were trying to escape from the other side, clawing to get out! The wind moaned with short breaths as it entered between the cracks of the door, having little room to enter, and so taking with it leaves, dusts, and other particles that entered from outside the school building.
Bakura: (Cocking an eyebrow.) You've got to be F****** joking me.
Everyone: () .....................
Tristan: Ahem.well.there's no way in hell I'm going down there.
Duke: Baby.
Tristan: You go down there then.
Duke: (O_O)
Tristan: Yeah that's what I thought.
Tea: Well um.maybe if we wait something will happen.
Everyone: (Turning their heads slowly towards Tea.)
Tea: WHAT? It could happen.
Mr. Baines: Now kids I think you're being a bit childish don't ya think? Here I'll show you there's nothing here.
The teacher stepped forward carelessly, ignoring the wind as it picked up greatly. This did not escape Y/M's eyes. His insides were churning madly the closer the man stepped towards the door.
"Yes this is it.This is what we've been waiting for."
Mr. Baines: See? There's nothing to fear.
"Fear me."
Bakura: (Pulling Tea back.) Wait.
Mr. Baines: Who said that?
"I did you foolish mortal."
Mr. Baines stepped back slowly and carefully, horror glistening in his eyes. His mouth hung loosely open as were the others as a ghostly thing stepped through the enclosed door, covered from top to bottom in a paling yellow hood.
Malik: I knew it. I knew you'd show yourself again. (He spat, pulling out the millennium rod.)
"OOH I'm so shocked. It isn't a surprise that Gardener would figure out the clues from the midget and his lesser half's conversation."
Yami: You knew?!!! You heard us??!!!
"My dear Pharaoh I know everything. There is very little I'm not aware of now happy to say and yet grieved to know."
Y/M: Okay that made no sense. But now I can have some fun.
"Oh is that so? How can you have fun with something you can't harm hmmm??"
Y/M said nothing. The door clearly showed he could not physically harm him.just yet.
"I am not surprised. I was sick of the game I was playing, so I thought it would be best for all of you to come to me, Yes?"
Yami: GRR I challenge you to a Duel right here right NOW Blood Man!!
"AW Yes the Blood Man word again. Funny how I received such a charming name. Yet I haven't really spilled blood yet. Hehehe well I suppose I should emphasize the word YET. Oh yes a Duel now.Hmm well I'm sorry but I've never been much of a Dueler. Besides this is not what this is about."
Seto: Well why don't you explain to us what this is about and then step out of the way so we can take back our friends.
Tea: 'Did Kaiba just say friends?'
Mr. Baines: Listen the police will come and track you down. It would be in your best interest to turn yourself in.
"You know you're absolutely right. I think I'll march down to the police station right now. I am so ashamed. HAHAHA!!"
Mr. Baines: You know sarcasm isn't necessary.
Malik: I say we end this now! (He snapped pointing his rod towards the hooded thing.)
"Ohh what do you intend to do with that Ishtar boy?"
Malik: I intend to break your ass!
Surprised, Bakura and Yami stepped back with a somewhat proud Y/M looking on from behind.
Joey: Yeah and when he's done with you I'm gonna step in!
Tristan: Me too!
Duke: Me three!
Yami: Face it, you're outnumbered and out-powered! Step down, this is your last chance to save yourself!
"Fool! Don't threaten me!!! I'm the only one here allowed to do that!" As his words spitted through the hallway, a long sleeved finger shot forward straight at Malik's head. Malik, startled by the sudden pointing, let his guard down and before he knew it, he crashed into the wall leaving a piece of the wall to come crashing down on his head. His millennium rod that had been held tightly in his hand the entire time, swung forward in mid air right smack into the gloved yellow hand.
Bakura: MALIK!!!
Y/M stared as the gang ran to Malik's aid in a hurrying fury. Tea and Tristan tried to help him up as he rubbed his bruised head carefully, but so dazed, he fell back down. , Reluctantly, Malik stared up at the stranger, grimacing and snarling at the Blood Man with one closed eye.
Malik: Bastard! I'd like to see you try that again! And give that back it's mine!
Tea: Malik quiet! You're going to provoke him more!
Malik: That's the idea! (He snapped.)
Y/M: What power that creature has..Is he even human?
Yami: How dare you! You'll pay for that!
Joey: Yeah ya can't just throw people around like dat!!
"Hehehehehe I just did. Here I'll show you again Joey Wheeler."
Before Joey could object, a great force knocked him back against a solid object that just so happened to be Tristan.
Tristan: (O_O) OOF!
Joey: AW!!
Tea: Hey stop it!!!!
Duke: Hey are you guys alright?
Joey: Y-Yeah I think. Hey Tristan danks for breaking my fall.
Tristan: (x))_((x) Any..time..
Yami and Bakura had, had enough. In perfect unison, the two once ancient spirits stepped forward, their millennium items glowing with wondrous force around their necks.
"Do you think that you can defeat me so easily? HMMM??"
Yami: I highly doubt it.
Bakura: But with our powers combined we can. (He smirked confidently.)
Yami turned his head slightly to the side in some astonishment at the determined Tomb Robber standing right next to him. He smiled slightly, not allowing anyone to see his appreciation for Bakura's help. Secretly he thanked him.
The Hooded figure frowned noticeably under the lowered hood. His silence spoke for him. He could not do such a task on his own.
"Don't forget about me." A lone voice replied out of the darkness of a corner. The spirits turned their heads as the group turned from where Malik was to the familiar voice. Kaiba was now almost right next to Yami, glaring at the Blood Man with such determination and seriousness, it almost bothered the kidnapper.
Yami: Kaiba what are you doing? (He whispered.)
Seto: We are working in this TEAM thing aren't we?
Yami: (Nodding his head slowly.)
Seto: Then if you don't mind I'd like to participate as well.
Malik couldn't decide from his laying spot who was in a greater amount of shock, Bakura, Yami or the BLOOD MAN! Try as Tea and Duke might, Malik wouldn't budge from the ground. His eyes were plastered on the three figures before him, who had formed a semicircle around the yellow hooded stranger.
Yami, smirking slightly, stepped forward, the other two doing the same.
Tea: Be careful you guys.
Malik: (0_0) Um Tea..
Tea: Yeah Malik? You need some help up?
Malik: No.I need you to retract those claws of yours you have embedded in my s-s-skin..
Tea: (Sweat drop.) Oops.sorry.
Malik: Ooof.
Tea: Um.if you need stitches I'll pay for it OK?
Malik: (-_-) Thanks a lot.
"Not another step forward!!" The Blood Man cried pointing the rod instead of his index finger.
Yami halted, as did Seto and Bakura on his left side.
Bakura: You cannot defeat the three of us with that stolen millennium rod alone.
"I have other powers as you have already witnessed.or should I say Joey and Malik have already witnessed." He chuckled dryly.
Malik: () Rub it in why don't you. (Crossing his arms.) Thief...
Duke: UH.This really isn't the time to be holding grudges Malik.
Tea: Yeah Malik you're fine, suck it up. See, Joey's doing well, he's taking it like a ma-.
Tristan: ((x))___((x)) JOEY...GET.OFFFFF..ME!!!!!!!
Joey: OW! My head hurts! Damn Blood Man idiot!! I need a doctor!!
Malik: (Cocking an eye.) You were saying?
Tea: (-_-) Oh shut up and suck it up!
Blood Man: (--))_((--) SILENCE! Just the same it's only the three of you.I have won.
Y/M: Not quite you imposter! (Stepping up.)
Bakura: What the hell is this, the four Musketeers?
Yami: (Smiling.) All for one and one for-
Bakura: You finish that sentence and you'll be the next to go.
Yami: .....so hostile.
Bakura: Oh stuff it.
Seto: (Sweat drop.)
Y/M: I highly doubt you can handle our combined strength.
The stranger loudly snarled, returning the millennium rod to within his hooded coat. It seemed as if he had been beaten. But not quite yet.
It was now Bakura's turn to take another step forward, with much hate within those undaunted eyes of his. It seemed to the kidnapper that they were closing in on him incredibly too close for comfort.
"I told you not to take another step forward. Are you deaf boy?"
Bakura: Are you blind, or is that stupid thing on your head blocking you're view? I've seen the fear in you. You cannot win.
"Hehehe perhaps not at the moment, but then again your friends are at my mercy." He chuckled pulling out a small remote control.
Bakura: (Blinking.) What's that?
"The answer to your friend's fate. As you know this used to be a laboratory right?"
Yami: Yes, yes, your point!
"As I see it there are chemicals in here, very dangerous chemicals. Aw yes didn't Joey have a small explosion in here? Hmmm it's all coming back now.
Joey's eyes widened in horror, as he raised himself on both unstable legs.
"This remote control is all it takes to light a flame from within. With that said and done all of your friends will be no more, and we will have to start all over so as I may receive new victims. Perhaps it will take numerous trials to prove and make my point."
Yami: (Growling.) And what is that??!!
Seto: Yes you have yet to specify what we have done to you!!
"Silence!!! You're lying has been enough! Now in return for my suffering we can do this in two different ways.I can kill everyone inside this room and start fresh again OR I can take just one of you."
Duke: One of us? For what?
"For the purpose of the others of course. I would like to know how strong you're friendship is, of course if you can find the solution to the problem of my game, than there is no death for any of you. Sadly I was hoping for better results."
Tea: You're a sick person you know that? (She spat out through watery eyes.)
"Yes well, it takes one to know one my dear Gardener."
Y/M: I really don't care in this matter so-
"I realize you don't care and that is why whatever decision you make is not yours. You may die with the others or you may give up your life for them, those are YOUR only choices." The Blood Man cut in, grimly.
Y/M: (Snarling.) HOW DARE YOU!!!
Yami: I'll go.
Y/M: You-Wait what?
Yami: If you want to take someone take me. Let the others go and never return. (He replied simply.)
Y/M: Fine..
Tea: NO! Yami please don't!
Yami: It is the only way Tea.
Bakura stared at Tea carefully, with a fixed expression that could charm a cobra.
Bakura: No Pharaoh I think you've done enough deeds. Besides its making me sick to my stomach.
Yami: Huh? I don't get what you're saying Bakura. (He replied cocking his head to the side.)
Bakura: It is my turn to be the hero I suppose. (Smirking.) Only this once mind you.
Yami: (Lost for words.) WH-WHAT??!!!!!!!!
Tea stared in utter disbelief at the white haired boy, and for a second her heart skipped a beat. Quickly recovering from her blow, as was the rest of them, she stood up from all fours and ran straight for-
Tea: BAKURA NO!
Yami: (Gasping.)
Tristan: Tea?
Blood Man: 'What is this?'
Tea clung herself to Bakura's chest, wrapping both arms around his waist and crying silently into his shirt, catching the white haired Tomb Robber completely off guard. His eyes stared out in shock, his jaw slowly dropping as he reverted his gaze towards the brown haired girl below him. What-what was she doing?
Yami: (*_*) Tea.
Tristan, Joey & Duke: (Mouth agape.) ....silence....
Malik was speechless to say the least. He stared through a slightly bruised eye still on the ground, still comprehending the past 10 seconds.
Tea: I won't let you do that Bakura. Sorry not this time, you'll have to try that another time. (She said cockily as best she could through sniffles.)
Bakura: Tea I.Tea get off.
Tea: Please Bakura stop it.
Bakura: Tea Get off.
He replied forcefully, dropping his arms to both his sides carelessly, as he stared straight for the ceiling, ignoring Tea completely. Those cold slanted eyes retuned once more, and only Yami and Seto Kaiba could see the hurt and unsure emotions curling up inside him once again.
Bakura: Tea-
Tea: No.if you go then.
Bakura: This is not the time to get mushy.
Y/M: 'I'll say.How sickening. Especially from a guy like that. Ugh I need something to torment.'
Tea: I know.instead of Bakura.Blood Man or whoever you are take me instead!!!!
Bakura: (Stiffening.) What did you say?!!
Joey: TEA NOO! (He cried out, standing up immediately.)
She yelled out, releasing Bakura and facing the hooded man. Yami's concerned expression changed into a facial expression of pure horror! He couldn't, he wouldn't let her!
Bakura: Tea don't be so stupid!! (He snapped out in rage.) I told him to take me and that is it!!!
Tea stood her ground, as the others stared from one person to the next completely out of things to say. The Blood Man on the other hand was completely intrigued. This was starting to prove interesting. Now just a little more and he could.
Seto: Tea stay out of this.
Tea: No way!
Seto: You may not listen to what your boyfriend has to say but you will listen to me. Whatever is to happen to anyone it will happen to me. I will not let anything happen to my brother or.
Blood Man: Or what?
&&&&
Zoeygirl: TADA!! Hehehe just joking. Actually there's a two parter and it's the next one after this one. I put them out at the same time so yep. Anyways I know this was a little more serious But I couldn't really do this without some angst in it so um hope ya liked! See Ya'll people later! (O_- .)
