The Way Home

Chapter 4
By: Archery's brother

"WHERE'S SERENITY?"

The next morning was a bright and sunny day. The gang was walking to the fast-food restaurant to pick up Téa.

"You think Téa will give us some free burgers before she leaves?" Joey asked thinking about the usual: food.

Yugi shook his head. "Joey, you know how strict Téa's boss is. If he sees Téa giving away food, he will more likely fire her. We can't cost her her job, Joey."

"Oh we better hurry! I want to be at there now!!!" Serenity claimed as her walk sped up into a run.

"Hey wait!" Joey ran next to his sister, gaining up on her. "Serenity, why are you such in a hurry?"

"'Cause Nicholas said he will meet me there. Before we left yesterday, I told him to meet us there," Serenity replied her pace becoming even faster.

"You what?!" Joey stopped. Serenity noticed her brother wasn't moving so she walked back to him.

"Joey, what's the matter?"

Joey felt his body shake with anger. "Why?! You shouldn't be hanging around with that idiot, Serenity."

"And why not?" Serenity asked with her hands on her hips.

"'Cause I said so!" Joey snapped.

Serenity rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

As she continued running, Tristan whispered to Joey, "Don't tell me she has a crush on that dude."

Joey shook his head. "There is no way she will see him again. And I mean it! She will never, ever, ever see that boy again!"

"Hey Serenity!"

"Nicholas!" Serenity ran up to her friend and embraced him. "Wassup!"

Joey can feel his body burning up again. "That stupid little-"

"Hey guys! Wassup?" came another voice. It was Téa holding her neatly folded uniform. "I wish you guys came here earlier. The manager had to leave early today because of some emergency he had to attend to. So the assistant manager took over and let us stuffed our face with some extra fries. If you guys came a bit earlier, I would have snuck you guys a couple of fries with chili."

Nicholas laughed and licked his lips. "Mmmmmmmmmmm. Good thing I was there early. Those fries were good!!!"

Joey wanted to jump Nicholas and beat him to a pulp. 'First he calls me a second rate duelist, next he beats one of my best buds in a duel, then he tries to steal my friends and is getting too friendly with my little sister, and now, 'cause we had to meet him here late, the restaurant's close and he got to stuff his face with MY fries! Why I'm going to beat up that little worm if it's the last thing I'll do!'

"Let's go to the park guys," Téa insisted walking side by side with Yugi.

"Yeah. We can practice some dueling strategies," Yugi said.

"That'll be great!" Nicholas exclaimed joyfully.

The teens began walking towards Domino Park. Téa and Yugi side-by- side, Serenity and Nicholas holding hands, Tristan and Duke lingering by, and Joey staggering behind.

When they reached the park, Serenity dragged Nicholas to the pond.

"Isn't the pond just gorgeous! Look at those baby ducklings, Nicholas! Aren't they just adorable!" Serenity squealed with delight.

"Yeah....." Nicholas said, surveying the water.

Serenity glanced over at an ice cream stand. "Hey, I'll get us some ice cream. What flavor you want?"

Nicholas shrugged. "I'm not hungry. You go ahead and get some for yourself."

"Okay!" Serenity agreed.

She went off to get the cold and refreshing treat.

'I don't remember that stand being there before.' Nicholas wondered as he watched Serenity disappeared behind some trees.

He shrugged. 'Maybe it's new."

"Hey Nicholas! Ready to duel?" Yugi asked waving Nicholas towards the picnic table he sat at with Téa.

"Sure," Nicholas replied walking towards Yugi.

"Hey, where's Serenity?" Joey asked.

"She went to get ice cream," Nicholas stated, shuffling his deck.

"What?! What are you talking about hotshot?! I didn't hear any ice cream truck!" Joey growled.

Nicholas shrugged. "There was an ice cream stand."

"What?! There's no ice cream stand."

"Yes, there is. Just right over-" Nicholas turned and pointed his finger at where the ice cream stand is. Or was in matter of fact. "It was just over there. I know it was."

"I told you there's no ice cream stand. Where the heck is my sister?!" Joey exclaimed.

"I told you! There was just an ice cream stand right over there!" Nicholas also shouted.

"Guys, guys calm down. We'll check it out then," Duke said in a calm tone.

He led the teens to where Nicholas previously saw the stand.

"There's nothing here, Nicholas," Duke said after searching around.

"You see! Where's my sister?!" Joey shouted at Nicholas.

"Hey- What's this?" Téa bend down and picked up a folded paper. She gasped after she read the message.

"What is it, Téa?" Yugi asked.

"Look!" She pointed at the note.

"What is it?!" Joey grabbed the note from Téa. His face became pale. "She's kidnapped........."

"What?!" Tristan took the note and read it out loud, "If you ever want to see her again, meet me at the forest. –Mark."

"Oh no! We gotta go save her!" Nicholas declared.

"It's your fault she's gone!" Joey shouted grabbing Nicholas' shirt collar.

"Guys stop!" Yugi shouted at them.

Téa looked around. 'What is that sound?'

All of the sudden, Téa ran at a top speed.

"Téa! Where you going?!" Yugi called out after Téa. But she ignored him and kept on running out of the park and into to the city.

"Téa!" Yugi ran after her. Joey dropped Nicholas to the ground. "I'll talk to you later," Joey threatened Nicholas.

The gang followed Téa through the park and they all finally stopped in front of one of Kaiba's huge TV screens, which hanged on many buildings.

Everybody gasped at what the screen was presenting. The screen was playing when Nicholas defeated Yami Yugi in a duel!

Everybody watched with his or her mouths wide opened.

Everybody had the same questions in mind: Why did Mark kidnapped Serenity and who taped the duel and played it on the public monitors?

Is it all for revenge?
