Yay! Another chapter up. Thank god. Ok, so, Trish and Cassy are safe, Ashley is still at the hideout, Shundrika has disappeared, and Tori and Shuranda are in big trouble. If the guys don't find them soon, they'll be burned extra crispy. Let's find out what happens.







Chapter 7 The Search

Yami raced as fast as he could back to the apartment. Joey kept the blanket over Cassy and Trish as best he could. Seto wasn't far behind them. If he went any faster, he would've rear-ended Yami. Yami pulled into the parking lot. Yugi ran up to the apartment and grabbed another blanket. He came back and put it around Trish while Yami wrapped the other one around Cassy. Yami picked Cassy up, and Joey took Trish. They followed Yugi into the apartment, while he rushed into one of the spare bedrooms and shut the shades. Yami and Joey put Trish and Cassy onto the beds. They fell asleep on contact with the beds. The guys left the room shutting the door behind them. "Are they alright?" Ryou asked. "They're fine, but they should know better than that. I mean why were they out this early?" Yami said. "If they were out then could the others be out too?" Mokuba said.

They heard a noise and saw Trish at the bedroom door. She was half asleep. They rushed over to Trish and shook her lightly. Trish blinked open her sleepy eyes halfway open and looked at Yami. "Trish, are the others outside too?" Yami asked. Trish nodded. "Trish, where are they?" Yugi asked. "They're on the west side of the city looking for Shundrika," Trish said. "Ok, Trish, go back to sleep and we'll get them," Yami said. Yami picked Trish up and put her back in bed. Yami and Yugi rushed out of the room. "Yugi, you stay here with Ryou and set up another two rooms. The rest of us are going out to get the others. They're on the west side of the city," Yami said. Yugi and Ryou went to set up the rooms while the others grabbed their coats and hopping into the cars and driving off. They stopped at the nearby bank and got out. "Split up and search the area. We have to find them,' Yami said. They all went in different directions looking for the girls.

Meanwhile, Tori and Shuranda were still stuck in the cave. "Shuranda, what are we going to do? We can't stay here. When the sun goes down, it'll hit us," Tori said. "I don't know. For now all we can do is keep out of the sunlight's reach and pray that someone will save us," Shuranda said. Tori nodded and then noticed that Shuranda's eyes were beginning to close. "Shuranda, don't fall asleep on my now!" Tori yelled. Shuranda blinked a couple of times to wake up: "Sorry, Tori, but I can't stay awake much longer." "I know but try to. You can't fall asleep now," Tori said as she rubbed her eyes. She too was very tired. She moved back a little as the sunlight got closer.

"Damn it! Where could they be? There's only so many places they could be," Joey said. "Let's keep searching and pray that we aren't too late," Tristan said. "Right, let's pray," Joey said. They continued to search through the alleys. They checked sewers, alleys, even dark corners, but there was no sign of them. "I'm starting to worry," Mokuba said. "Yeah, I know what you mean," Seto said.

"I wander if they'd found them yet," Yugi said. "I hope they did. I'm starting to get worried," Ryou said. Yugi looked at the clock; it read 8:00. "They've been gone for about an hour now," Yugi said. "I'm about to go insane. Where do you think Shundrika went anyhow?" Ryou asked. "I don't know, but where ever she is, it had best have a good excuse," Yugi said. "Why do you say that, Yugi?" Yugi looked over at Ryou: "Cause if she doesn't, Trish'll kick her ass."

"When the fuck are we going to find them, Tristan" Joey whined. "Don't ask me. I'm not a fortune teller," Tristan said. "The only place I can think of to look would be the park," Joey said. "Well, we'd better head there quickly: it's already 9:00," Tristan said as he looked at his watch. "Right," Joey said before he headed off to the park.

"Tori, we can't stay awake any longer. You know that," Shuranda said as she blinked for the thousandth time that day. "I know, but we have to tr-" Tori trailed off as she soon fell asleep. "Tori!? Tori! Damn it!" Shuranda said as she tried to wake her friend up in vain. She soon gave up and laid her head back. "I guess this is it. See you later, Tori." Shuranda closed her eyes slowly and fell asleep as the sunlight drew closer by the minuet.



Ok, that's that chapter. I'm starting to run out of ideas so please help me. I need some ideas about when Yami and the others find Tori and Shuranda. If you've got ANY ideas, please send them to me. Either post them on the review board or send them to me at Duo223@aol.com. Thanks!
