Spirit Hawk: kikoken- I hope that this chapter reveals a little bit more....plus try reading between the lines if have not done so already. Read and Review when done reading and tell me if I made it worse or better.

"He's coming to." Kaiba stated as Joey stirred on the floor. "Well tie him up." said the all to familiar voice. "Why? He hasn't done anything yet and we may be able to use this to your advantage." Kaiba protested. "I don't know. Why are you standing up for the mutt anyways." the voice asked. "He's your friend! You almost sacrificed your life for him, why betray him?" Kaiba's voice raised in anger. "If he tells the others, I'm screwed get it! S C R E W E D! The voice shouted back. "Why Yami? Why did you kill Yugi?" Joey stared at the man with tri-colored hair. Joey stared at him waitng for an answer. "He was useless, plus he was ignored which made it easier to believe suicide then murder." Yami grinned evilly.

Joey shuddered at the tone, but noticed that Yami was holding something, but not just any something...he was holding the Millennium Rod! "What the..." Joey said as he was knocked unconscious again. "That was uncalled for." Kaiba stated. "So? He saw me, what was I supposed to do?" Yami muttered.

*Flashback*

"Hey Yug, What are you going to do with the Millennium Rod now?" Joey asked as Yugi carried it. "I'm going to hide so good that even Shadi could not probably find it." Yugi joked at the thought of hiding an Item from Shadi. Everyone else thought he was serious since not even Yami knew where Yugi kept the items he already had, of course except for the Millennium Puzzle. "One of these days I'm going to find them." Yami told Yugi through their mental link. Yugi laughed in response to his dark's statement. "What's so funny Yugi?" Tea asked. "Yami wants to find the Items that I've hidden." Yugi chuckled and Joey paled at the thought of Yami using the Millennium Rod on his head.

"Joey, are you alright?" Yugi asked his friend. "Yeah, I'm fine...just a little tired." Joey attempted to recover. That was Yugi for Joey, always watching out for each other. "Now that you mention it, I'm getting tired too. I think I'll head home now." Tristan yawned and everyone else agreed. Yugi started walking away, not even bothering to ask if Joey wanted to go the gameshop with him since he and Joey didn't declare what he was doing next. Joey though it was weird that Yugi, who always invited Joey to hang out with him when everyone else left, had forgotten about it.

"I want your Millennium Items." Bakura declared in a dark alley. "You'll have to duel me for them, if you win you get mine, if you lose I get yours even the Millennium Eye that Pegasus once held." Yami/Yugi declared.(BTW, this is from Joey's POV and before they know how tall Yami is supposedly {don't kill me} and can't tell who is who [quite yet].) Joey reeled back at what he had just seen and heard. (It must be Yami no Yugi speaking) Joey thought as he watched the duel be carried out. After about 30mins a victor emerged and it was Yami. "Only two Millenium Items left." Yami said to the darkness. Joey ran home and decided to confront Yugi about it the next day. Joey entered the park where the group had been spending most of their time lately.
"What did you do last night Yugi?" Tea asked the small boy. "I don't remember anything after we left each other except waking up in my bed." Yugi said as he turned his hands into fists then relaxed. Nobody noticed that motion by Yugi, except Joey. Yugi looked over at Joey and saw the frightened look on his face. "Do you need to talk to me privately?" Yugi inquired with a sneer, which wasn't picked up by the others either. "No no, I don't need to." Joey said as he turned and ran off. A smirk appeared on Yugi's face as he took pursuit of the blonde boy. "Why are you so afraid?" Yugi inquired with the smirk on his face. "I know you're not Yugi! You're Yami no Yami." Joey said loudly to the boy. "So you know, I'll make a deal with you. You don't say a word and you won't need a visit to the ER. Say anything and...well you know what will happen." Yami's smirked turned into a evil grin.

*Flashback*

Joey woke up in a dark room where the only source of light was from the fire in the fireplace. Joey felt he wasn't alone and couldn't who was there. "So we are awake." Yami stated from the darkness. "Yami no Yugi, why are you doing this to us, to your friends!" Joey yelled at the darkeness. "Friends? I never had any friends here. Everyone I knew and love are gone from me." Yami growled. "I thought you were my friend! You killed Yugi and what for? Because you didn't consider us your friends." light from the flames showed tears rolling down Joey's face. "I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry Joey." Yami stepped into the light and had a look of sadness on his face.

Spirit Hawk: Yami is the mastermind behind everything or is he? Why did he kill Yugi beside having 'no friends'? What does he have planned? Keep R/R to find out(boo me for wanting input)
