Bakura: Ceribi doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of its characters except for
herself, Serria and Spyro so if you accuse her I'll send you to the Shadow
Realm!
----------Yugi's POV----------
I have never seen Kaiba as happy as he was when Ceribi woke up. While she was still unconscious, I saw him cry. As long as I've known Kaiba, I've never seen him cry. Seriously. Anyway, after Ceribi woke up and all of that business, she asked a few questions that had flown our minds. First, though, we asked her questions.
"What happened?"
"Someone shot at you, Yugi. I heard the bullet and pushed you out of the way. They I used all of my energy to throw up a magical barrier around all of us. No, actually, I used all of my energy and some of my life force. That's why I didn't wake up."
"What brought ya back?"
"Well, Joey, I really don't know. I think it was the fact you all believed in me. I know I'm going to sound like that annoying dancer when I say this, but she's right when she said that the power of friendship is really strong between us all. Not with her, of course, but with us. Believe me, I won't rant on for hours, but I do want to say that she was right in the sense that the power of true friendship is one of the two most powerful bonds, the other being love."
We were silent. Then Malik spoke up. "You know, it doesn't sound nearly as bad when you say it." We nodded our agreements. Ceribi looked embarrassed.
"Uh... thanks, I guess. Anyway, did you find out who shot at Yugi?" Ceribi had turned to Marik and Bakura. They shook their heads, disgusted.
"We chased that person but he got away," said Marik.
"Of course, Stephen helped, but he seemed to disappear," added Bakura.
"Don't take it too hard on yourselves," said Kaiba, surprising them. "You did the best you could."
"Besides, now we have time to think about who did this and why, and no one was hurt," added Yami.
"What if she's not only after Yugi?" asked Mai.
"Whoever said it was a she?" asked Joey.
"Whoever said it was a he?" retorted Mai.
"You both have a point," interrupted Ryou. "But he or she, for now it makes no difference."
"Mai also has another point," I said. "What if this person isn't only after me?"
"I wish we knew who this person was," Ceribi said. "That would make it easier for us to find out what it wants, or why it's doing this."
"We could know who, or we could know why," said Yami, holding me in a protective embrace. "If we knew who it was after and why, besides Yugi, then it would be easier for us to guess who."
We all sighed. --Masters!--
"It's Stephen!" I said. /What is it Stephen?/
--Master Yugi, I think I've found someone. Where is Sir Seto?--
--I'm right here. We'll be out.--
"Stephen's found something," said Kaiba. "We should go check it out." He lifted my protesting sister off of the bed and walked off. We hikaris giggled and left. Our yamis came out after us, and so did our friends. Kirian, Brier and Merlin all teleported outside, while Aerandir, Zeipher, Duplicate, Randy and Julian all followed us.
----------Yami's POV----------
Stephen was over a person whom none of us recognized. His blonde hair was matted and he was out cold. Once he was roused, he refused to speak.
--I found him trying to run away after Master Yugi was shot at,-- said Stephen.
"Who hired you?" I demanded, furious.
"I...won't...speak..."
"We can always use truth spells, can't we?" asked Ceribi to the two Dark Magicians. Brier and Merlin looked at each other, and nodded.
"Wait a sec," said Yugi slowly. He walked up to the man. "I don't believe it... Bandit Keith?"
I looked closer, and saw, to my horror and surprise, that it was indeed Bandit Keith.
"Great Ra," muttered Malik. Can't exactly blame him. He took over his mind and dueled Yugi, separating the Puzzle from him, but not taking it.
"You know... who I am..." he gasped. "But I refuse to tell you who hired me."
"Perhaps it was Tea," said Ryou suddenly. "After all, she hates Yugi and loves Yami."
Keith watched as looks of comprehension dawned on each of our faces. "Of course," muttered Kaiba. "It makes perfect sense..."
"Perhaps we should put a watch on Tea Gardener?" suggested Marik.
"Perhaps we should," agreed Kaiba.
"What will you do with him?" asked Randy, indicating Keith.
"Keep him," I said. "Perhaps he will speak later."
We all nodded. We then proceeded inside the house, and brought Keith with us. Kaiba then put him in a carefully guarded room. We all went into another room to discuss a strategy.
----------3rd Person POV----------
As they proceeded to put Keith in a room, none of them noticed the smirk that had played across his face. No one heard his laughs as he stayed in his room.
"Those fools," he muttered. "They honestly think that Mistress Tea is our leader? She may be my boss, but she is not the leader of us all... she may have sent me, but she had her orders from another..."
Somewhere, a chuckle rose from Tea. Somewhere even farther, a cackle rose from a cloaked person. "I am the leader," it hissed. "And I will kill Little Yugi and his friends, to have my revenge on the Pharaoh!"
