All right! More reviews for me!!!! And more chapters for you!!!!
Chapter 22: The Big Chill"Hmm," said the cloaked figure as it gazed into a small pool. It watched Seto and Joey walk down the passageway, occasionally stopping to call for Serenity or Mokuba. "They look hot . . . I think I'll cool them down a little." It let loose with another evil laugh as it touched its Millennium Token. The Token glowed with a frost-blue light, which quickly became a wide beam that shot into the pool.
"Is it just me, or is it getting colder in here?" asked Joey. When Seto didn't answer, Joey decided to fill the silence. "Hey, I remember one time last winter it was so cold that. . ."
Seto let Joey ramble on. He was lost in his own thoughts about the falling rock incident.
Why? Seto asked himself. These people . . . why do they even bother? Why do they care?
They kept walking, stopping only once for a short rest. The temperature had been steadily dropping for the last half-hour. Seto noticed that Joey was walking slower and slower.
"Let's take another rest," said Seto. When Joey didn't answer him, he turned around and saw Joey on the ground, passed out from the intense cold. Seto ran back to Joey and turned him over.
"Joey? Joey!" he called. "Wake up, you moron!"
But Joey didn't answer. Seto stood up and took off his long, navy blue coat. He'd had it specially designed, and it was fully insulated against the cold. He wrapped it around Joey and began half-dragging, half-carrying him along the freezing passageway. He kept this up for two hours, until the temperature hit rock bottom. Seto stopped for a rest and checked on Joey. Joey's face was slowly returning to its normal color, thanks to the added warmth of Seto's coat.
The temperature's going back up, thought Seto. In ten minutes, it was room temperature again. He should be waking up soon, he thought as he looked at Joey. Seto removed his coat from Joey. As he put it on, a violent cough escaped him.
"What happened?" asked Joey groggily as he sat up.
"You fell asleep, Mutt," said Seto as he started to walk again. "Come on. Let's get moving."
"Jeez, can't a guy get any rest around here?" grumbled Joey as he reluctantly got up and followed Seto.
"Interesting . . ." said the cloaked figure, watching the receding backs of Joey and Seto in her pool. "First the rock incident . . . now this . . . very interesting indeed."
Ok!!!! I write, you read, you review, I receive, I rejoice, I write . . . It's a never ending cycle. But it works! ^_^
