Chapter Eight

Mai gasped.

"No....Serenity," she said, through sobs.

"Sis!" exclaimed Joey, pushing through the crowd.

"This is your sister?" asked a dueler.

"Yes, it is," said Joey, trying to hold back a verge of tears.

"Why weren't you with her?" asked the dueler.

"I was dueling...and we've been apart for so long....I didn't know she'd be in this tournament," choked out Joey.

"Oh settle down Wheeler, I called the hospital...they'll be here any moment," said Seto.

"I don't think-" began Joey.

"Don't loose hope Joey...your sister will live...she's a strong girl," said Mai.

Joey nodded.

"What was leaving suddenly doing with it?" asked Isis, who was in the park with Seto.

"Serenity...she's......dead," muttered Seto.

"Oh...I'm sorry, did you have a crush on her?" asked Isis.

Seto blushed and nodded.

"It was a past crush though..but I'm over it...but I'm still worried about her," said Seto.

"I see," muttered Isis.

"So do you like anyone now?" she asked.

"Um..yea...but my feelings toward her change...she can be really annoying and then beautiful and right all in one," replied Seto, blushing furriousily.

Isis never seen Seto be this way.

"Really now? Well anyways I know you brought your laptop with you...so show me who Serenity was dueling and all," said Isis.

"Serenity's locator device was smashed," said Seto.

"Then check Marik's at least for me," said Isis.

"He's still dueling.....and......................................................he killed her! Marik killed Serenity!" exclaimed Seto.

"Should've known," muttered Isis.

"What slow learners we are," said a voice.

Yami Bakura came out grinning.

"I thought you'd be alot faster than that....Serenity might die....it depends...but there's more to that," said Bakura.

"What has happened to my brother?! And why can't he come back...I mean Marik surely didn't have another Millennium Item in his hands!!!" exclaimed Isis, infuriated.

"That's right dear Isis, no Marik didn't have the Millennium Items in his hands....BUT Yami Marik can come back at his own free will...Yami Marik as I do say is quite powerful," said Yami Bakura, smirking.

"Enough crap!" said Seto, throwing a punch at Yami Bakura who dodged the punch.

"That was quite slow Kaiba...I thought being as clever as you are you'd know that we have your brother as well," said Bakura.

"YOU WHAT?! Now you're going to hell!!!" exclaimed Seto, toppling on Bakura, who threw him off leaving him unconcious.

"SETO!" screamed Isis.

Bakura laughed.

"Poor wittle Isis...all alone with nobody to save her...of course you have a Millennium Item...so I can hurt you...but don't worry your brother's soul,Serenity, and Mokuba are with us and their souls...their lives are in mine and Yami Marik's hands...if you win your so called Shadow Tournament..you can have them back," said Yami Bakura.

"You're sick! You'll won't get away with this you mother-" began Isis.

"Nuh-uh-uh...I don't think so...you'd be killing them even easier...you can be with you little boyfriend while you can...he'll be dead soon enough," said Yami Bakura.

Isis glared at Yami Bakura walking over to the unconious Seto.

"Leave me be," she said.

"As you wish Miko," said Yami Bakura, disappearing.

Isis started crying...so many people were suffering over her greedy matters...if she hadn't started the Shadow Tournament..Yugi,Joey,Mai, nor Serenity..not even Seto Kaiba and his brother would be in this mess.

"It's all my fault," sobbed Isis.

"No....Isis it isn't...what you think your greedy affairs are were the love for your brother...we'll beat him," said Seto, slowly getting up.

"Seto," mummured Isis, tears still streaming down her cheeks.

"Don't cry Isis...I don't want to see you like this...I'll be here with you..we'll win, I promise," said Seto, smiling weakly.

Isis hugged him still crying.

"I'm sorry..I can't help myself...he has Serenity,your brother, and mine...if I loose you then...I don't know what I'd do," said Isis.

"The finals of this mess will be here soon, we'll defeat Yami Marik and Yami Bakura and get them all back," said Seto.

Isis pushed away nodding.

"Look to see if we have our 1st finalist..or someone close," she said.

Seto nodded..

"Joey and Yugi...they're both in the finals...along with your brother and Marik..we have two more places and then us," he said.
