Joey, Tristan, and Bakura glanced around the nearly empty room. The only person in there was Keith, who was tied up to a chair.
Joey-Keith!
Keith-J. . .Joey?
He looked up at the three of them, his blue eyes now grayish and dull.
Tristan-What happened to you?
Keith-I'll. . .be fine. Mokuba. . .
Joey-What about Mokuba?
Keith-She. . .she. . .she has him.
Bakura-Who?
Keith-Samantha. The ghost. She has Pegasus and Ryou's a zombie. . .you have to save Pegasus and Mokuba. . .
Tristan-Where is she?
Keith-I. . .I don't know. Kyle said something about. . .storage.
Bakura-. . .the storage shed. . .
Bakura and Tristan acted out of impulse and headed towards the door, but Joey called them back over to help him untie Keith. Once he was untied, they headed out.
Once they had finally gotten themselves and their nearly dead 'friend' down, they all headed straight towards the storage shed. Bakura carried Keith over his shoulders as they ran, Kaiba in the lead. Of all of them, he had the most valid reason to want to get there as quickly as possible. His little brother's life was at stake, and he'd do anything to get him back.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yami-I'm sorry, master. I did not know you didn't want me here.
Samantha-Did anyone follow you?
Yami-No.
Kyle-And did you finish off Keith?
Yami-No. Was it my duty to?
Samantha-YES IT WAS YOUR DUTY! IF THEY FIND HIM, THEY MIGHT FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE! AND THAT WOULD MEAN WE WOULD BE IN DANGER!
Yami-So. . .I should have killed him?
Samantha just growled deep inside her throat as she prepared to hold her temper.
Samantha-Just go kill him. . .NOW! AND DO IT RIGHT!
As Yami walked away, Pegasus stared at her.
Pegasus-I'm a key to all of this, aren't I?
Samantha-Yes. Are you just figuring this out now?
Pegasus-But I don't even know who you are! I didn't do anything to you!
Samantha-And who said you did?
Pegasus-But then. . .why are you after me?
Kyle-It was years ago. . .long before you were born. I was only 13 at the time. My doctor. . .your great-grandfather, diagnosed me with cancer. Lung cancer. They said there was a procedure they could do to remove the tumors causing the cancer, and I might get better. What he didn't tell me was that I could die from the surgery. I was only 13.
Samantha-And after my brother died, I dedicated my life to trying to contact him. But it turns out, that stuff doesn't really work. Psychics, they're all frauds. None of them could communicate with my brother. But then, I finally figured out how to reach him.
Pegasus-In death. . .
Kyle-Right.
Pegasus-So why are you after me?
Samantha-Crawford blood. Although it was not you who killed my brother, you are a descendant of the man responsible.
Pegasus-I've read the medical books. . .they did everything they could for him!
Samantha-Well it wasn't enough, now was it?
Suddenly, Yami burst into the room.
Yami-Master, the humans are on their way here!
Samantha-What?! We don't have time to relocate!
Kyle-We need a diversion.
Mokuba-I'll be a diversion! Just let me go!
Samantha-No. . .
As she glared back and forth between Ryou and Yami, they avoided eye contact. Even zombies aren't stupid. They knew that if one of them was sent as a diversion, failure to comply would mean Samantha would kill. . .or re-kill them, but if they did distract the group, they might kill them.
Samantha-I pick. . .Yami. Because you've failed me with Keith. Now go. Keep them from this room.
Yami-But they know I'm dead, and they will know I am a zombie.
Ryou-Yes, but they're positive I'm a zombie. They might believe you are still alive.
Samantha-You'll only need to be gone for a few moments. NOW GO! TIME IS BEING WASTED!
Yami flinched and turned to leave.
Kyle-Come.
He led his sister, who was dragging Mokuba along. Ryou was trying to pull Pegasus, but he was resisting. Samantha turned to grab Pegasus, and that's when Pegasus saw an opportunity.
Pegasus-Mokuba! Run!
Surprised, Mokuba quickly turned and ran just to the doorway before Kyle stopped him.
Kyle-Leaving so soon, are you?
Kyle grabbed Mokuba's arm and pulled him back into the room by his arm. Samantha glared angrily at Pegasus.
Samantha-The both of you will be regretting that move in a few moments.
They all turned to leave the room, Kyle holding Mokuba and Samantha pulling Pegasus who was resisting with all of his strength.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They didn't have much further to go, but they were all incredibly tired, and could run no further. Even Kaiba was beginning to slow down.
Kaiba-Just. . .a little. . .further.
Tea-This is crazy! Just stop for a moment.
Kaiba collapsed to his knees and hands.
Kaiba-No! Just a little. . .bit further!
He began to pull himself with his hands.
Bakura grabbed his arm and lifted him up.
Bakura-Don't let her do to Mokuba what she did to Ryou.
The group, tired as they were, continued to run as quickly as possible. They absolutely had to save Mokuba and Pegasus.

Peggi-Well, kinda long, huh? Updates will come as soon as I can. . .well. . .stop being so lazy! Well, L8erz!
Peggi-Thanx for the review, Eevee, and it wasn't me who cussed, it was Samantha.
Bakura-Excuses excuses.
