A/N- hahahahaha!...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!...AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Selina: Sup?
Serafina: HAHAHA! They...they...hahahahaha!
Selina: TELL ME WHAT'S SO FUNNY!!
Serafina: They...they...*points to audience* THEY THINK YUGI IS DEAD!! AHAHAHAHA!
Selina: You mean he isn't?
Serafina: *abruptly stops laughing* You didn't know?
Selina: No. Was I supposed to?
Serafina: You haven't been paying attention?!
Selina: Obviously not well enough. It certainly sounded like he died to me in the last few chapters.
Serafina: Why did you only pay attention to them and not the other ones?
Selina: They were more interesting.
Serafina: I think you need to go back and read the dream Yugi had in chapter 2. That would tell you that Yugi is not dead. And I thought you liked my stories.
Selina: I do. As long as they are about me or have a lot of cool stuff like fights or sacrifices in them. He he?
Serafina: *glare* Well, I'd like to thank you all *VERY* much for all your generous reviews and I really can't thank you enough, but THANK YOU EVERYBODY! -^_^-
Hazel-Beka: Actually I didn't stop TR2S. FF.N Administration took it down for me. It was in my a/n. I took the poems down because I wasn't going to update them anymore. I just don't have enough time to make them up. Neway. You wanted to find out what I was going to do with evolution and stuff. I was planning on writing a "chapter" up just for you on that so I could e-mail it to you. Do you still not want me to? Beka, yes Yugi is my most favoritist character in the entire world. As of now. He he, but I didn't kill him. I read your newest chap! Thanks for telling me and what is mountainwings? I've never heard of it. Neway, hope you like this chapter!
Bunnychu: Yes, I too feel very sorry for Yami. Especially in this chapter. *sniffle* Poor Yami and Yugi too.
fishkisser: I will post YIRL! Thanks to your vote and one other person. Its on my Stories authored list. So check it out! It's funny! Oh, about Yami accessing his powers even though Pegasus was blocking them: Have you ever heard of how when people get angry or scared and get a major adrenaline rush they gain strength-like the ability to pick up cars?-I've experienced it before and I was able to run like super fast. Well, that's what happened to Yami. He got a huge rush of adrenaline and he was able to break Pegasus's hold on him. I'll check out your story! (s) Have you updated the one about the doors?
LadyDeathStrike: Yay! You aren't trying to kill me...this time! That is a very good idea, but Yugi isn't dead. Ah, no DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!
hobbit13: *breaths sigh of relief* Oh, yeah, Yami is definitely upset. I'm glad he's not my muse. Just think of what he'd do to me! Terrifying! Um...Pegasus is still going to have free rein until TBCS II unfortunately. Don't worry about that dream thing! It's funny! Nothing like this!
Sorceress Vanessa: *glances at bazooka* Hi, SV. Heh, heh. How...how's it going? I'm glad you liked the last chapter! You did read YIRL because I remember you and Subieko reviewing it before as well as one other guy. It only had 3 reviews to begin with so yeah. Oh, NO! Poor SV! I'm so sorry! Are you ok? I hope you are! That must have been scary! I really hope you are ok.
YamiWestley: Yugi...not ur type? He's everybody's type ^_^! Then you probably don't want to read what I did to Joey in my other story = ROD II. Thank you for reviewing and I'm glad you liked it!
Una: I know! I did too! Did I get the queen right?!! Huh? DIDIDIDIDIDI? E-mail ya lata!
starfire: I love Yugi and for some reason I just end up being naturally mean to him! I can't help it!
Subieko: Um...I was kinda following what was left after duelist kingdom. He was attempting to bring her back that way and I don't entirely understand it, but my way was magic! Thanks for the review!
Thank you everybody so much! Enjoy!

Chapter 13
Once Yami and the others were away from the castle, Yami stopped walking. The Dark Magician was floating beside them. Yami turned to look at him, then at the castle. With his back to his friends he said, "Keep walking."
"Are you going to come back?" Joey asked as Ryou also asked a question at the same time.
"What are you going to do?"
Yami turned slightly. "Pegasus will pay. His castle will fall, and I will teach that yami a lesson." He started to walk back the way they all had come from.
"Shouldn't we try and stop him?" Ryou asked Joey and Tristan. (A/N- Only because I'm asking myself that very thing. I need to come up with an answer too.)
"Yami wait," Tea said, tears still running down her face. The others looked at her as she took a step away from them. Her left hand was clenched in a fist and she had positioned it so it looked like she was trying to keep her heart from falling apart, while the other was stretched out for Yami. He kept walking, but when Tea called, "Yami! Stop!" he halted. "Yami, please don't *do* this!" she pleaded.
He turned to look at her, "Why does this matter so much to you?"
"Don't turn into a monster for this. Pegasus and Bakura aren't worth it."
"Yugi's worth it," Tea barely heard him mumble. He turned back around and continued on. "I'm sorry, Tea," he said more audible, but that was it.
She tried one last time to keep him from what would most assuredly be his doom if he tried to take on both Yami Bakura and Pegasus all by himself. "Yugi wouldn't want this!"
He stopped dead in his tracks; he stood motionless for several seconds as he pictured his aibou in his mind. The way Yugi would look at him with his big, violet eyes so full of joy and happiness. He knew in his heart what Tea said was true and his shoulders hunched, as he fell to his knees in defeat. The Dark Magician disappeared and Tea went over to Yami. She bent down, helped him up, and let him hug her as he cried. (A/N-I know Yami doesn't seem capable of crying, but I know he can especially where Yugi is concerned.)
Tristan, Joey, and Ryou, unsure of what to do, stood there awkwardly staring at the couple and each other. (A/N- No, Yami and Tea are not going to date. Sorry, but I don't do romance.)
Once they got Yami to calm down, Tea heard him mumble to himself, "I will get you out of there Yugi, no matter what it takes!"
"How are we going to get off this island?" Joey asked, casting around for something matter-of-fact to say.
"Well, I've got my cell phone," Tea told them looking at each of them in turn to see their reaction. Tristan and Joey's faces lit up immediately. Ryou seemed to be in a trance almost as if he was watching a video recording playing over and over in his head about what had happened. He didn't even seem to have heard what she said. Yami's face was expressionless, but his posture told them he was forlorn and angry.
"So who should we call?" asked Joey.
"Let's see," said Tristan. "We need someone we know since, we will be calling them in the middle of the night, so obviously someone that would probably be up at this hour, someone that we know how to contact, of course, but someone who can pick us up too."
"Who could that be?"
"Think about it, Joey," replied Tea.
"But we don't know anybody that could come pick us up. What's Yugi's Gramps gonna do, fly a helicopter over. . .HEY! No way! You don't mean. . ."
"Yes, Joey, Kaiba."
"NOOOO!"
"Oh, stop acting like a baby,"
"Are you sure he was acting? Anyways, Tea, just call him."
"Right," she said with a nod.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
RING! RING! RING!
Kaiba picked up the telephone and used the side of his head and shoulder to hold it in place, while he continued typing on his computer.
"Hello?" he inquired of the person at the other end.
"Hello, Kaiba."
"Tea! What are you calling me for at this time of night?!"
Mokuba jerked awake from where he had fallen asleep on the couch watching television.
Kaiba glanced at him and winced that he had been so loud. Reclaiming his calm he said, "I thought you went on a cruise with Yugi and the rest."
"I did. We're stuck on Duelist Kingdom and need your help."
'What?' Kaiba thought, 'Duelist Kingdom? How did they get there?' miffed and flustered he replied, "Why don't you get Yugi to help you. He can get out of anything." Kaiba thought back to the first defeat he had suffered at the hands of young Yugi Mutou. He recalled how he had had Yugi cornered, only for Yugi to escaped the jaws of "death" as he demonstrated he could do time and time again.
She was silent for a few moments and Seto wondered what her expression was. When she next spoke, there was a tightness in her voice that made him want to take back that last comment. "For your information! Yugi is not going to be able to help anyone ever again, Kaiba. If you weren't so *selfish* (A/N- or maybe a shell-fish *sends glare of death to rein upon Kaiba* Selina: Woah! Where does all this evilness come from, *hikari*? Serafina: You, I borrowed it, you have plenty to spare.) you'd help anyway. Yugi would have helped you if you had asked." Then she hung up on him.
Kaiba was so stunned he stopped typing and held the phone in front of his face, staring at it. He hadn't really been rejecting to help, (A/N- * still administering death glare* he can delude himself all he wants. ~_~ Uuuuurrrrrgggg! I don't know how to make a glaring face *screams in annoyance* I hate Kaiba! DIE! Selina: Wowwies. O_____________O;;;;;; She's really mad. Maybe I should take over. Serafina: Take over and die! Selina: All right that does it! Marik! Leave my hikari alone! *Marik comes out of closet and runs for dear life.* Serafina: What's going on? Oh, I'm typing up my story. Sorry everybody!) he was merely stating Yugi nearly always found a way out in a tough spot. Now that he knew that the teen was not around anymore, her felt a sense of (A/N- What's the word I'm looking for here? Selina: *still chasing Marik* don't know. Marik: I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!! Serafina: Nuts! Oh, well.) remorse and guilt as his heart skipped a beat. Now he'd never be able to reclaim his title. (A/N- *death glare*) He decided to call Tea back. She picked up the phone after the second ring.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tea hung up, furious, but trying to hold in the effect that flared up by Kaiba's snide remark.
"I'm guessing that didn't go too well," Ryou said.
"No. He's just so selfish, I. . .urgh!"
"It's ok, Tea, we're all having a hard time accepting this."
"There's no one else we can call, is there?" Joey looked hopeful. (A/N- How come no one, correction, ALMOST no one thinks of calling the police? I mean when Yugi is in trouble or something like that his friends never call the police. They always have to find him themselves. I guess it just wouldn't have the right effect if they did that though. But they did call the fire squad that time Yugi was in the burning building even though they didn't know he was. . . Selina: Ok, quite enough people want to read the story not your comments. Serafina: Humph! Fine!)
Ryou shook his head. Tea's cell phone rang. She got it back out of her purse and answered it at bit more aggressively than she normally would have now that she was in a more miffed state. "Hello?"
"Tea, I'm sorry, I didn't mean. . .I'm sorry about Yugi. (A/N- Yeah, right) I'll come get you guys. You can tell me what happened on the way back."
Tea could hear a helicopter in the background. "Thanks, Kaiba."
"Un," Kaiba grunted. (A/N- LIKE THE SELFISH, STUCK-UP. . . MEANNY! THAT HE IS! Selina: *growling* MARIK! I told you to leave my hikari alone! Marik: *in a tiny voice* It's not me! Selina: *growls and glares* Marik: I don't call people *meannies* Selina: Hm.)
CLICK
"So, I take it he IS giving us a ride after all?"
"Yeah," Tea answered dazed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Where are we going, big brother?" Mokuba asked as he followed Seto to the helicopter pad. After he had woken up from his brother's telephone conversation he didn't want to go back to sleep.
"Duelist Kingdom."
"Why?"
"We need to pick up Tea and her friends."
"But. . ."
"Don't worry, Mokuba. They're fine." 'Well, some of them.' His little brother had looked up to Yugi even though he wanted Seto to beat him and be the best again. Kaiba didn't want his little brother to worry about Yugi. (A/N- Wait a minute. He just told Tea to elaborate on the way back? O.O ) He would let Tea tell him and maybe she would sugar-coat it if Mokuba was there. (A/N- There that is somewhat better. ^_^)
They got into the chopper and took off. It took them only (A/N- How long DID it take them?) two hours (A/N- *shrug* \-: ) to reach the Industrial Illusion's Leader's Headquarters. (Selina: huh?) It was a whole lot faster than a cruise liner. Once he neared the island he called Tea back.
"Where are you?"
"Um. . ." he guessed she was scrutinizing her surroundings. "We are near the castle. We can still see it, but we're near the forest."
"Oh, THAT'S helpful," Kaiba said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
"UH!" He figured Tea would be rolling her eyes by now. "We're standing across from the front entrance to the castle right beside the forest or kind of shadowed inside of it a little bit."
"Thank you, that's better."
CLICK
He looked around the spot she had indicated and spotted them coming out of the trees. He landed and they all scrambled aboard. Kaiba saw Yami and was furious. Once he was back in the air, he decided, he would let Tea have it for lying to him to get him to pick them up. That was not the case, however. Tea started explaining everything before Kaiba got a chance to interject. She told him that there were two Yugi's and the sweet innocent one was the real Yugi and that he had been sacrificed. (A/N- *groan* She didn't sugar-coat it! Yes, everybody/Yugi's friends know about Yami. Yami explained during the 2 hr. wait and they remembered the Bakura & Pegasus duels) She told him that THIS was the Yugi he dueled against. He didn't really believe her in his mind, but he was not really as knowledgeable in magic as he was in the field of science. Although, he had noticed a difference in demeanor when Yugi dueled and he proposed to himself that what she said was true. It was a very confusing tale, what with all the magic stuff, but remembering what Pegasus had done to him and his little brother made things easier to comprehend.
He noticed that this other Yugi, Yami, was not saying anything, but rather staring out the window with his fists clenched. "What are you going to tell people?"
"That we had fun on our cruise."
Kaiba's look showed puzzlement so she elaborated. "Yami is going to pretend to be Yugi and nobody will know."
At this Yami looked away from the window and his gaze came to rest on her, like there was something more he wanted her to say.
She noticed and added, "Meanwhile, we are going to try to find SOME way to get into the Shadow Realm to save him."
A/N- Wow, that was long.
Selina: Well, if you would have stopped COMMENTING it would have been shorter. *forced smile*
Serafina: neways, hope you enjoyed it. 'Please let them have enjoyed it so they send a review!' *crosses fingers*
Selina: *rolls eyes* Ya'll know what to do.
Serafina: You heard that?
Selina: Mental link. -_-U
Serafina: Right. X.X; Heh. . .
P.S.- Sorry to those of you that read ROD II cause I won't be putting a chapter up this week due to lack of inspiration for the Yami/Bakura battle. I seem to pit Yami against Bakura a lot don't I? Sorry for the inconvenience!
P.S.S.- Yugi in Robot Land is now up if you want to check it out! It's really funny in my opinion!
Serafina & Selina: L8er (*

Once he was back in the air, he decided, he would let Tea have it for lying to him to get him to pick them up. That was not the case, however. Tea started explaining everything before Kaiba got a chance to interject. She told him that there were two Yugi's and the sweet innocent one was the real Yugi and that he had been sacrificed. (A/N- *groan* She didn't sugar-coat it! Yes, everybody/Yugi's friends know about Yami. Yami explained during the 2 hr. wait and they remembered the Bakura & Pegasus duels) She told him that THIS was the Yugi he dueled against. He didn't really believe her in his mind, but he was not really as knowledgeable in magic as he was in the field of science. Although, he had noticed a difference in demeanor when Yugi dueled and he proposed to himself that what she said was true. It was a very confusing tale, what with all the magic stuff, but remembering what Pegasus had done to him and his little brother made things easier to comprehend.
He noticed that this other Yugi, Yami, was not saying anything, but rather staring out the window with his fists clenched. "What are you going to tell people?"
"That we had fun on our cruise."
Kaiba's look showed puzzlement so she elaborated. "Yami is going to pretend to be Yugi and nobody will know."
At this Yami looked away from the window and his gaze came to rest on her, like there was something more he wanted her to say.
She noticed and added, "Meanwhile, we are going to try to find SOME way to get into the Shadow Realm to save him."
A/N- Wow, that was long.
Selina: Well, if you would have stopped COMMENTING it would have been shorter. *forced smile*
Serafina: neways, hope you enjoyed it. 'Please let them have enjoyed it so they send a review!' *crosses fingers*
Selina: *rolls eyes* Ya'll know what to do.
Serafina: You heard that?
Selina: Mental link. -_-U
Serafina: Right. X.X; Heh. . .
P.S.- Sorry to those of you that read ROD II cause I won't be putting a chapter up this week due to lack of inspiration for the Yami/Bakura battle. I seem to pit Yami against Bakura a lot don't I? Sorry for the inconvenience!
P.S.S.- Yugi in Robot Land is now up if you want to check it out! It's really funny in my opinion!
