Yami knew what Kaiba meant even if he didn't come out and say it. The others knew too. It wasn't too hard to figure out from his solemn expression. Joey on the other hand, beaten and bruised, tired and hurt in more ways then one, gaped at the CEO president standing firmly in front of them all, his hands by his sides defenselessly. Was this something Kaiba was doing to earn attention? No Joey didn't think so, for once in his life he didn't see Seto Kaiba was a cold hearted jerk face.well.errr.maybe not THIS time but he did see a possible.friend.
Joey: Hey no way Kaiba, ya can't do dat.
Tristan: J-Joey?
Yami: (Wide eyed.) Joey what are you doing?!!
Seto: (Closing his eyes.) Stay out of this Wheeler. (He warned.)
Joey: Hey Jerk face why don't ya allow someone else to hog da credit for once?
Seto: (Snapping his eyes open.) WHAT?
Bakura: What's the mutt doing? (He asked alarmed.)
Tea: (Frowning.) Being a friend.
Bakura: Hey! What have I told you about using the friend word over and over again?
Tea: (Smiling) No I mean it this time Bakura.
Blood Man: (Smirking.)
Malik: (Speechless.)
Joey: Yeah you heard me right Blood Man! Take me instead!
Seto: Are you insane!? No bad question..YOU Stupid dog get away!
Joey: Hey calm down Fido. Hey you got a brother to take care of, I ain't gonna let ya risk dat too ya know.
Seto: W-what? (Unsure what to say.)
Joey: I said-OOOFFF! (Going down on his knees.)
Tea & Yami: JOEY!
The group watched dazedly as Joey dropped to his knees, his eyes practically bulging out of his eyes. He covered his stomach with both arms unable to breath, and hardly able to speak.
Joey: AW Man...I never got punched like dat before. I wonder..who caught me off.guard.
Malik: I did you moron.
Bakura: MALIK! (He snapped jumping forward.) What are you doing?
Malik stood there with a slight bruise around his arched closed eye, the veins practically sticking out of his arms as he hovered over Joey sternly.
Malik: Enough heroic moves from all of you. Joey if you haven't forgotten you have a sister and a girlfriend and the rest of your family that need you.
Joey: H-HUH? (Still on the ground.)
Malik: Okay you bastard! (He growled) You already took my millennium rod you can take me too!
Y/M: FOOL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!?
Blood Man: Hmm, well-
Tristan: NO WAY! Take me instead! Leave them alone!
Malik: Idiot do you want me to punch you too?
Duke: Then you'll just have to punch the both of us b/c we're not going anywhere.
Tristan: Humph says you.
Duke: Hey think of it this way freaky dude. You get the both of us for the price of one.
Malik: What the hell? Did you not listen to what I just said?
Bakura: Yes we listened clearly. (Smirking.)
Malik: Huh? (Confused.)
Yami: And none of us are backing down. (Staring forward.)
Seto: If one of us goes we all go.
Y/M: What are you all doing? It isn't worth giving up your lives for pathetic mortals.
Tea: You're wrong Y/M it is because everyone behind that door is worth it.
Joey: (Standing up.) And if it means dying for it then, HELL YEAH!
Malik: (Smirking.) I suppose you're right.
Bakura: Well I won't be going with you guys. (Smirking.) I'll see him in hell though. (Pointing to the figure in front of them.))
Seto: Humph the stunts you're pulling now I highly doubt that.
Bakura: Is that so?
Tea: (Grabbing Bakura's hand.) Yeah you're coming with us.
Bakura's eyes softened just a tad. It felt at that moment that a great weight was lifted from his chest. How odd it felt but so.reassuring. He wondered why his aibou, Ryou always smiled. Was this why? Because of his.friends? Ugh what a stupid thought, then again it was amusing.and comforting....and once again it made him feel sick to his stomach.(-_-)
Duke: If you take one,
Tristan: You're taking us all buddy.
Blood Man: Is that so?
Everyone: YES!
"Well then.I suppose I HAVE NO CHOICE." The gang held their breaths as they stood side by side one another, bruised, tired, maybe even terrified. But if this is what it meant in order to save the others then.
Yami: Then so be it.
Yami, Bakura, Tea, Joey, Malik, Duke, Seto, and Tristan closed their eyes, prepared for their fate to come. It was all over, they had lost.
Y/M watched from the side lines disgusted to such ends that it made him angry. He wanted to see bloodshed from all of them, he wanted to see hate in their eyes, instead he got.love. That's not the emotion he was expecting in this situation, not even from people like Kaiba or Bakura. Oh how it pissed him off to such ends. They screwed him over once again.
Y/M: Dear Ra the bastards! This is not a proper revenge!
Malik: Come over here! (He yelled grabbing the spirit's arm in a flash.)
Y/M: What are you doing?!! GET OFF ME YOU FILTHY MORTAL! I don't want to- Oh what am I worrying about? Hehehe I am a spirit. I don't care if I get front row seats for this, I'll still live. Fine Malik have it your way. (Closing his eyes.)
The hooded kidnapper turned its huge yellow hood from one face to the other. It seemed as if he had been correct. With a slight chuckle he took a step backward, turned around and headed for the door before him.with not so much as a second glance back.
Seto: Hurry up already, your wasting time here.
(Sweat drop.)
"Hehehe I think you have finally come to understand my point. And for that the truth shall be shown to you." The Blood Man replied almost submissively reassuring.
Tea, with her eyes still closed, furrowed her eyebrows. Exactly what did he mean by that? Was he not going to.GULP do away with them? That's when she and the others heard it. The door to the old laboratory slowly opened, its huge creaking chunk of wood squealing with every inch it passed against the dirty tiled floor.
Joey wanted desperately to open his eyes but for once in his life he was going to ignore his intuition or um.urges.
"If you would be so kind as to open your eyes I'd be much obliged." The cold figure hissed, amused at their shaky expressions.
One by one their eyes opened, holding their breaths in the process. Perhaps they were already dead.
Their watery orbs stared quizzically at the hooded figure blocking an entrance of white light that absorbed the entire room in which he stood in front of. His covered baggy, yellow arms were crossed behind what was supposedly his back, his hood so huge, once again none of them could see within, and the huge door they so wanted to enter was now wide open.Yet the inside was covered in light, probably from their adjustment to the dark and dim flickering lights.
Yami: Hey what's going on here?
"You have passed my test and finally found my meaning that you so scornfully ignored for so long. I have gotten revenge and you have finally understood. That is why.well hehehe why don't you see for yourself."
Bakura: What the hell are you talking about?
Joey: Yeah we just want our friends back ya lunatic!!!!
"And here they are." Stretching out an arm towards the doorway, the figure gestured for them to come closer, as he stepped out of the way, allowing their eyes to wander over towards the open room.
And there.
Yami: What THE-
Standing in the entrance just right inside.
Y/M: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? A JOKE?
Was a spiky haired boy, a smile plastered on his face. He smiled sweetly at the gawking, somewhat dead looking friends that only um.STARED back at him. His arms were crossed behind his back and he rocked back and forth merrily on his heals.
Yami: Y-Y-YUGI???? Are you.....okay?....((x)))_____(((x))))
Yugi: Hello Yami. How are you guys? Yeah I'm fine how about you?
Yami: I'm actually....very tired, but tell.me uh.why are you standing there.like that?
Blood Man: Ugh are you THAT naïve? Surely your eyes cannot deceive you at this point.
Tea: Yugi are you under some sort of mind control or what? Please tell us! (She cried her eyes watering.)
Yugi: Of course not.hehehe actually we were all waiting for you. We were wondering when you guys were gonna make it here. Took you guys a while though.
Everyone: WHAT......((O))_((o))...(Okay.ahem really freaked now.)
Just as Yugi finished his sentence, an image in the back began to focus on their uneasy eyes. Before long they found themselves staring at a couch with a brunette haired girl sitting on it happily-
Joey: S-SIS????????????????
Duke & Tristan: (Jaw hanging open.).....No...way.
On the window sill sat a young blonde woman, with her legs crossed and her smile and malevolent eyes focused on them.
Joey: Hey what da Hell???
Tea: Mai?? (Her voice going up an octave or two.)
Y/M: I hope this isn't what I think it is.(He warned, a new hatred oozing from the pupils within his lustrous eyes.)
Blood Man: (Staring at Y/M.) Oh but it is.
On another nearby couch, was another white haired boy, who was currently deeply enthralled with a book he was reading. He glanced up and waved at the party joyously, closing the book as he sat up. "Hello there chaps."
Bakura: (*))_((*) ....WHAT.THE FU**.?
Tea: Uh...RYOU?
Ryou: Yes?
Tea: Um just checking...(0_0)
Malik: Wait if their here then that means..
Malik barged into the room, his eyes wide with mixed emotion. Well, it seems his senses were right, for there in the farthest corner, serving herself coffee from the coffee table was his sister, paying little to no attention to his sudden appearance.
Isis: Oh hello brother, I didn't even realize you were here.
Malik: REALIZE I WAS HERE? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!?
Bakura: (O_______O)
Seto & Yami: (Glancing at each other nervously.)
Mokuba: Hey chill out guy. We're not gonna bite your head off. (He smiled sweetly.)
Everyone turned to stare at Mokuba and then to Seto Kaiba, who had momentarily froze in place. His wild eyes stared at the small boy glancing back up at him. Was this some sort of joke? Is so he was far from amused.
Seto: Okay if I don't get an explanation in the next 3 seconds.heads are going to roll.
"Oh my poor Kaibaboy, won't you please relax? An explanation will come in due time now."
All of a sudden Yami felt cold shivers run up his spine as did everyone else not in on this.Ahem little get together. Their eyes stretched beyond capacity, leaving nothing to their blank faces except.an open jaw?
Seto: YOU! (Pointing.) O_____O
Pegasus: (Pointing to himself.) Me?
Everyone: AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
Tea: I think.I'm going to pass out.
Yami: (Still pointing but uh.speechless.) (__)___() No that's not right!
Yami: You?
Yugi: Him.
Shadi: Me.
Y/M: Is there an echo or what?
Shadi: I see it took all of you long enough. (He said sharply tossing the millennium rod back to Malik.)
Malik: Uh.you're giving it back?
Shadi: Well yes you and your group did win after all or should I say pass the test.
Malik: (Standing there, mouth agape.)
Shadi: Well technically it's not yours its--oh never mind.
Malik: (Nervously eyeing Kaiba.) Uh yes NEVER MIND. ((Remember the rod originally belonged to Kaiba. ^_^))
Duke: Why? Why did you guys do this to us???
Mai: Why to see you pee your pants Duke.
Duke: (U))_((U)
Mai: Just joking.
Isis: of course it was entertaining to see you in such fear little brother.
Malik: (Mumbling something EXTREMELY vulgar.)
Yami & Bakura: (Stepping away from Malik.)
Y/M: He didn't learn that from me.
Isis: (-_-) Uh-huh.
Y/M: Listen I've heard enough for a millennium or two. I'm going to sleep this off. (He said disappointed and disgusted with the whole thing.)
Before Isis or Malik or anyone for that matter could object, a great flash shot through the millennium rod, and so Y/M was no where to be found. Of course everyone had a pretty good idea where he was.
Joey: S-so.Mai this.was where you were the.entire time? And you too.Serenity? GULP.
Serenity and Mai nodded smiling at him in response.
Joey: (Dumbfounded.) OI..
Duke: Serenity are you okay?
Tristan: No me you idiot!
Duke: No me!!!
Joey: Get away from my sister.
Serenity: (Frowning.) Haven't you guys learned anything yet? I joined them for that particular reason.
Joey, Tristan, & Duke: JOINED?
Yami: (Freaked.) Is this a cult???????
Yugi: (Sweat drop.) Um.uh no.
Bakura: Is that what you guys did? (He warned, his eyes turning as wild as Seto's now.) This was revenge wasn't it?
Pegasus: Not quite.
Bakura: That's what the letters said!!
Isis: Yes and we didn't lie when we wrote them. (She replied calmly.)
Yami: ISIS! How could you do this to me? I'm the good guy.
Yugi: (Shaking his head.) Yami not this time.
Yami: (Shocked.) Yugi what are you saying?
Yugi: Exactly what I just said.
Mokuba: Yeah-
Seto: (Glaring at his brother coldly.)
Mokuba: Err..(Shutting up.)
Malik stared up at Rishid with a grim expression. Rishid didn't even return his glance. In fact he didn't even look at him. The tall figure only removed the yellow hood from over his head, folded it up, and stuck it under one arm, without even a second glance at Malik.
He'd POSSIBLY expect this from Isis, but from Rishid who had been there for him from day 1..never.it was.almost unbearable.
Rishid: Don't you dare look at me like that. (He warned coldly, catching the gawking Malik off guard.)
Bakura hovered his attention over to the two. Did he hear Rishid correctly? He had never heard the man to talk like that to Malik EVER! Bakura knew that Malik was aware of this too and just as shocked if not more.
Malik: I don't understand. Shouldn't I be the one mad?
Rishid: If you're still asking yourself that question then you have learned nothing. Look around you Malik. Everyone in that room is a victim of you or someone out here's suffering.Except maybe for that white haired man next to the blonde woman.
Pegasus: (Innocently.) Who me?
Seto: (Jaw dropping.) Okay I've had enough heart attacks to last me for the rest of my life, now enough riddles and so forth.I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! So far we have Joey's girlfriend and his sister, Yami's mini-me, Bakura's lighter half, Malik's servant and sister, the bald freak behind me, my little brother, and the other white haired freak all in on this. Now that sounds a bit too strange even for my taste and I don't appreciate being FOOLED IN SUCH A WAY AS THIS!
Ryou: (frowning.) Neither do we.
Bakura: (Furrowing his eyebrows.) Oh please tell me this isn't about pride.
Isis: No this is much more.
Rishid: Yes we were testing you. Since of course none of you were growing up anytime soon or at least mending with reality, we had to perform our own test whether all of you were capable of becoming good people, or living in this world as you do, or letting matters go. (He replied staring at Tristan and Duke.)
Everyone: (Really confused.) Huh?
Rishid: (-_-) In other words we were sick of your arguing and threats to us and everyone else.
"OOHH."
Tea: HEY!
Rishid and the others turned to the rather..ticked off brunette, catching Bakura's attention almost suddenly.
Tea: HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY! Why am I caught up into this??? If anyone stresses all of these things it's me and you KNOW IT!! (She screamed, turning beat red.)
Mai: We tried but Tea first of all those guys were ALWAYS around you,
Bakura & Seto: (Sweat drop.) Uh..(Taking one large step back.)
Mai: And then there was your dad.(Shivers.) Heck no were any of us THAT stupid.
Serenity: And besides.um you were acting really strange. We didn't know what was wrong.
Tea: (u_u) Not...fair...Sniff.
Joey: Um so.there's no Blood Man?
Everyone: NO!
Joey: (Recoiling.) Don't yell at me!!! Ya know you guys were being really-
Mai: Really what Joseph Wheeler? (She asked quizzically.)
Malik: So.let me get this straight.there is no real murderer?
Yugi: (Smiling.) Not if you don't count Bakura or Y/M.
Bakura: (Growling.) And all of you were in on this together?
Pegasus: Yep.Of course it wasn't until we kidnapped the person and explained our proposition to them, did they agree to join up. Before then, they were as clueless as the rest of you. Think of it as sort of an intuition.
Bakura: (@_@)
Yami: And.Isis.you started this.whole thing? (Sulking.)
Isis: (Standing up.) Yes Yami I did with a talk with Shadi and Rishid of course. You're behavior at my small dinner party showed me how much all of you needed.to be brought..closer together I suppose.
Malik: (Sniff.) Me.too?
Isis: Sigh, yes you as well Malik.
Yami: But ME? (pointing to himself.)
Isis: I just said that Yami.
Yami: But..I'm Pharaoh!
Tea: (Rubbing her temples.) And.who went through the walls....or do I want to know b/c there was some weird stuff going on there..
Shadi: Well they left that up to me or with my assistance Rishid was able to, like 5 minutes ago. As Mr. Baines I stayed in the shadows secretly using my powers to allow Rishid to enter as he did.
Joey: What about when ya knocked us through da wall? Dat hurt.
Shadi: Well I did that it wasn't Rishid. If you were paying attention you went into the wall not in Rishid's direction, but in mine.
Malik: Oh yeah. (Eyes widening.)
Seto: (Folding his arms.) And all the other run-ins? Was that Rishid too?
Shadi: Myself as well as one other person followed the rest of you to wherever you were heading. Ahem I handled the more.spiritual side to give you guys a better feel for the kidnapper, while somebody else did the kidnapping or wrote the notes or um well I think you do get the point.
Tea: No I don't.but Shadi I am SO going to get you when this is all over!!!! You scared-
Bakura: The shit out of you?
Tea: No that would be you.
Bakura: (Scoffing.) Yes sure. The great Tomb Robber-
Tea: Enough with the Tomb Robber thing! You're not a Tomb Robber anymore jeez!
Bakura: (Both eyebrows raised.) Someone's rightfully in a pissed off mood.
Tea: (Bloody red.) BAKURA!!!
Yami: So.when I sensed a woman that one time it was.
Isis: Oh that was me.
Yami: .....Oh.....(-_-) 'I.snapped at Isis? What in the name of Ra's wrong with me?? She'll never look at me the same now.'
Mai: And I wrote the letters.
Joey: (Pointing an accusing finger.) SO YOU'RE THE AWFUL SPELLER!!!
Mai: (Sweat drop.) What? I thought I did it beautifully.
Bakura: That was the worst crap I've ever read. Made me want to kill someone even more.
Mai: (Smiling.nervously.)
Seto: Yes I think your taking this way too calm. Do any of you understand what they have just done to us?
Tristan: No what?
Seto: They made us look like complete fools.
Joey: Yeah.(He said glaring at his sister and girlfriend.)
Tea: Yeah.(She growled narrowing her eyes at Ryou.)
Joey, Yami, Tea, Malik, Bakura, Duke, and Tristan let their arms drop simply, as their cold wary eyes glared at the small group in front of them. Never in all their life did they hint that much similar anger at once. It sort of bothered the others, even Shadi. One thing was for sure.heads would roll.
BUM, BUM, BUM!!! (^___________________^)
Zoeygirl: Yeah, Yeah maybe that wasn't what you're expecting but oh well. (^_^) Well sorry if I didn't answer any questions I was kinda doing this but um next time definitely! See ya'll later! (O_-.)
IT SNOWED!!!!!!
Zoeygirl: Hey I told ya you'd get the identity of the Blood Man right? WELLLL here ya go! (^_^) I put a two parter in here b/c it was seriously long...SO enjoy and uh hehehehe don't kill.me..
OH yeah forgot.this picks up EXACTLY where it left off. So no confusion right? Good..

On the window sill sat a young blonde woman, with her legs crossed and her smile and malevolent eyes focused on them.
Joey: Hey what da Hell???
Tea: Mai?? (Her voice going up an octave or two.)
Y/M: I hope this isn't what I think it is.(He warned, a new hatred oozing from the pupils within his lustrous eyes.)
Blood Man: (Staring at Y/M.) Oh but it is.
On another nearby couch, was another white haired boy, who was currently deeply enthralled with a book he was reading. He glanced up and waved at the party joyously, closing the book as he sat up. "Hello there chaps."
Bakura: (*))_((*) ....WHAT.THE FU**.?
Tea: Uh...RYOU?
Ryou: Yes?
Tea: Um just checking...(0_0)

Mokuba: Hey chill out guy. We're not gonna bite your head off. (He smiled sweetly.)
Everyone turned to stare at Mokuba and then to Seto Kaiba, who had momentarily froze in place. His wild eyes stared at the small boy glancing back up at him. Was this some sort of joke? Is so he was far from amused.
Seto: Okay if I don't get an explanation in the next 3 seconds.heads are going to roll.
"Oh my poor Kaibaboy, won't you please relax? An explanation will come in due time now."
All of a sudden Yami felt cold shivers run up his spine as did everyone else not in on this.Ahem little get together. Their eyes stretched beyond capacity, leaving nothing to their blank faces except.an open jaw?
Seto: YOU! (Pointing.) O_____O
Pegasus: (Pointing to himself.) Me?
Everyone: AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
Tea: I think.I'm going to pass out.
Yami: (Still pointing but uh.speechless.) (__)___() No that's not right!
Yami: You?
Yugi: Him.
Shadi: Me.
Y/M: Is there an echo or what?
Shadi: I see it took all of you long enough. (He said sharply tossing the millennium rod back to Malik.)
Malik: Uh.you're giving it back?
Shadi: Well yes you and your group did win after all or should I say pass the test.
Malik: (Standing there, mouth agape.)
Shadi: Well technically it's not yours its--oh never mind.
Malik: (Nervously eyeing Kaiba.) Uh yes NEVER MIND. ((Remember the rod originally belonged to Kaiba. ^_^))
Duke: Why? Why did you guys do this to us???
Mai: Why to see you pee your pants Duke.
Duke: (U))_((U)
Mai: Just joking.
Isis: of course it was entertaining to see you in such fear little brother.
Malik: (Mumbling something EXTREMELY vulgar.)
Yami & Bakura: (Stepping away from Malik.)
Y/M: He didn't learn that from me.
Isis: (-_-) Uh-huh.
Y/M: Listen I've heard enough for a millennium or two. I'm going to sleep this off. (He said disappointed and disgusted with the whole thing.)
Before Isis or Malik or anyone for that matter could object, a great flash shot through the millennium rod, and so Y/M was no where to be found. Of course everyone had a pretty good idea where he was.
Joey: S-so.Mai this.was where you were the.entire time? And you too.Serenity? GULP.
Serenity and Mai nodded smiling at him in response.
Joey: (Dumbfounded.) OI..
Duke: Serenity are you okay?
Tristan: No me you idiot!
Duke: No me!!!
Joey: Get away from my sister.
Serenity: (Frowning.) Haven't you guys learned anything yet? I joined them for that particular reason.
Joey, Tristan, & Duke: JOINED?
Yami: (Freaked.) Is this a cult???????
Yugi: (Sweat drop.) Um.uh no.
Bakura: Is that what you guys did? (He warned, his eyes turning as wild as Seto's now.) This was revenge wasn't it?
Pegasus: Not quite.
Bakura: That's what the letters said!!
Isis: Yes and we didn't lie when we wrote them. (She replied calmly.)
Yami: ISIS! How could you do this to me? I'm the good guy.
Yugi: (Shaking his head.) Yami not this time.
Yami: (Shocked.) Yugi what are you saying?
Yugi: Exactly what I just said.
Mokuba: Yeah-
Seto: (Glaring at his brother coldly.)
Mokuba: Err..(Shutting up.)
Malik stared up at Rishid with a grim expression. Rishid didn't even return his glance. In fact he didn't even look at him. The tall figure only removed the yellow hood from over his head, folded it up, and stuck it under one arm, without even a second glance at Malik.
He'd POSSIBLY expect this from Isis, but from Rishid who had been there for him from day 1..never.it was.almost unbearable.
Rishid: Don't you dare look at me like that. (He warned coldly, catching the gawking Malik off guard.)
Bakura hovered his attention over to the two. Did he hear Rishid correctly? He had never heard the man to talk like that to Malik EVER! Bakura knew that Malik was aware of this too and just as shocked if not more.
Malik: I don't understand. Shouldn't I be the one mad?
Rishid: If you're still asking yourself that question then you have learned nothing. Look around you Malik. Everyone in that room is a victim of you or someone out here's suffering.Except maybe for that white haired man next to the blonde woman.
Pegasus: (Innocently.) Who me?
Seto: (Jaw dropping.) Okay I've had enough heart attacks to last me for the rest of my life, now enough riddles and so forth.I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! So far we have Joey's girlfriend and his sister, Yami's mini-me, Bakura's lighter half, Malik's servant and sister, the bald freak behind me, my little brother, and the other white haired freak all in on this. Now that sounds a bit too strange even for my taste and I don't appreciate being FOOLED IN SUCH A WAY AS THIS!
Ryou: (frowning.) Neither do we.
Bakura: (Furrowing his eyebrows.) Oh please tell me this isn't about pride.
Isis: No this is much more.
Rishid: Yes we were testing you. Since of course none of you were growing up anytime soon or at least mending with reality, we had to perform our own test whether all of you were capable of becoming good people, or living in this world as you do, or letting matters go. (He replied staring at Tristan and Duke.)
Everyone: (Really confused.) Huh?
Rishid: (-_-) In other words we were sick of your arguing and threats to us and everyone else.
"OOHH."
Tea: HEY!
Rishid and the others turned to the rather..ticked off brunette, catching Bakura's attention almost suddenly.
Tea: HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY! Why am I caught up into this??? If anyone stresses all of these things it's me and you KNOW IT!! (She screamed, turning beat red.)
Mai: We tried but Tea first of all those guys were ALWAYS around you,
Bakura & Seto: (Sweat drop.) Uh..(Taking one large step back.)
Mai: And then there was your dad.(Shivers.) Heck no were any of us THAT stupid.
Serenity: And besides.um you were acting really strange. We didn't know what was wrong.
Tea: (u_u) Not...fair...Sniff.
Joey: Um so.there's no Blood Man?
Everyone: NO!
Joey: (Recoiling.) Don't yell at me!!! Ya know you guys were being really-
Mai: Really what Joseph Wheeler? (She asked quizzically.)
Malik: So.let me get this straight.there is no real murderer?
Yugi: (Smiling.) Not if you don't count Bakura or Y/M.
Bakura: (Growling.) And all of you were in on this together?
Pegasus: Yep.Of course it wasn't until we kidnapped the person and explained our proposition to them, did they agree to join up. Before then, they were as clueless as the rest of you. Think of it as sort of an intuition.
Bakura: (@_@)
Yami: And.Isis.you started this.whole thing? (Sulking.)
Isis: (Standing up.) Yes Yami I did with a talk with Shadi and Rishid of course. You're behavior at my small dinner party showed me how much all of you needed.to be brought..closer together I suppose.
Malik: (Sniff.) Me.too?
Isis: Sigh, yes you as well Malik.
Yami: But ME? (pointing to himself.)
Isis: I just said that Yami.
Yami: But..I'm Pharaoh!
Tea: (Rubbing her temples.) And.who went through the walls....or do I want to know b/c there was some weird stuff going on there..
Shadi: Well they left that up to me or with my assistance Rishid was able to, like 5 minutes ago. As Mr. Baines I stayed in the shadows secretly using my powers to allow Rishid to enter as he did.
Joey: What about when ya knocked us through da wall? Dat hurt.
Shadi: Well I did that it wasn't Rishid. If you were paying attention you went into the wall not in Rishid's direction, but in mine.
Malik: Oh yeah. (Eyes widening.)
Seto: (Folding his arms.) And all the other run-ins? Was that Rishid too?
Shadi: Myself as well as one other person followed the rest of you to wherever you were heading. Ahem I handled the more.spiritual side to give you guys a better feel for the kidnapper, while somebody else did the kidnapping or wrote the notes or um well I think you do get the point.
Tea: No I don't.but Shadi I am SO going to get you when this is all over!!!! You scared-
Bakura: The shit out of you?
Tea: No that would be you.
Bakura: (Scoffing.) Yes sure. The great Tomb Robber-
Tea: Enough with the Tomb Robber thing! You're not a Tomb Robber anymore jeez!
Bakura: (Both eyebrows raised.) Someone's rightfully in a pissed off mood.
Tea: (Bloody red.) BAKURA!!!
Yami: So.when I sensed a woman that one time it was.
Isis: Oh that was me.
Yami: .....Oh.....(-_-) 'I.snapped at Isis? What in the name of Ra's wrong with me?? She'll never look at me the same now.'
Mai: And I wrote the letters.
Joey: (Pointing an accusing finger.) SO YOU'RE THE AWFUL SPELLER!!!
Mai: (Sweat drop.) What? I thought I did it beautifully.
Bakura: That was the worst crap I've ever read. Made me want to kill someone even more.
Mai: (Smiling.nervously.)
Seto: Yes I think your taking this way too calm. Do any of you understand what they have just done to us?
Tristan: No what?
Seto: They made us look like complete fools.
Joey: Yeah.(He said glaring at his sister and girlfriend.)
Tea: Yeah.(She growled narrowing her eyes at Ryou.)
Joey, Yami, Tea, Malik, Bakura, Duke, and Tristan let their arms drop simply, as their cold wary eyes glared at the small group in front of them. Never in all their life did they hint that much similar anger at once. It sort of bothered the others, even Shadi. One thing was for sure.heads would roll.
BUM, BUM, BUM!!! (^___________________^)
Zoeygirl: Yeah, Yeah maybe that wasn't what you're expecting but oh well. (^_^) Well sorry if I didn't answer any questions I was kinda doing this but um next time definitely! See ya'll later! (O_-.)
