Lightning-Dono: Wowies! Chapter 6!
Joey: I hope I do better in fights in this one.
Lightning-Dono: I don't know--I make everything up as I go along!
Joey: Well, you shouldn't.
Tea: Stop sounding so spoiled.
Lightning-Dono: oo; Okay, guys, just stop and let's keep going. Oh, and this is supposed to be a strategic chapter, but I'm not very good with strategy, so bear with me here.
I'm using Japanese names in this chapter and on, because I'm starting to hate the name switches.

Duke--Otougi
Serenity Wheeler--Kawai Shizuka
Ryou Bakura--Ryou Bakura
Seto Kaiba--Kaiba Seto
Tea Gardner--Anzu Mazaki

Jounouchi panicked greatly as he saw the large man.
"What?" Yuugi asked unconcernedly as they followed the formal-suited man.
"He works for Kaiba!" Jounouchi yelled.
"My, my, how observant," Anzu replied without much care.
"Well, incase you haven't noticed, Kaiba once nearly finished Yuge here off with a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and he has these creepy, evil eyes." Jounouchi used his hands and fingers to try and make the shape of Kaiba's eyes.
"Call him Seto, Jounouchi. If you call him Kaiba, you could be talking about Gozaburo, Noa, Mokuba...anybody."
Anzu rolled her eyes as they left the building with Jounouchi acting like a chicken when it's time came to be butchered.
They arrived at Kaiba Corp. Or rather, a ransacked Kaiba Corp shrouded in dark mist, which was a sign that Bakura had arrived and was already on the scene. Yuugi had already noticed that whenever Bakura was close and feeling evil, black mist would trail him and shroud the things around him.
"We have to act quickly," Yuugi said, pulling them together in a huddle. The man who had been leading them didn't seem to notice.
"I hear something from that hallway over there." Yuugi pointed towards a hallway to their left.
"No, we don't hear anything over dere. Forget about it, Yuge!" Jounouchi trembled in uncertaintanty and fear.
"We have nothing to lose, Jou," Yuugi said.
"Pffft. Maybe you don't, but I do! I'll lose you, Shizuka and EVERYTHING!"
"Well, let's go anyway."
The gang trudged towards the hall to their left with only Yuugi alert.
"I don't get it," Honda suddenly said. He hadn't said anything the whole time.
"What?" Jounouchi turned his head to the side, watching his brown-haired friend.
"Why did we leave Shizuka with Otougi-kun?"
"How should I know!?" Jounouchi started to speed walk. Then, he turned around to face Honda.
"Well, if he corrupts her mind with his smug ways, I'll eat ya because you're da one who left her there with him!" Honda backed away slowly.
"I know you like eating, but isn't this going a bit too far?"
Eventually, they reached a polished door with loud heavy metal music going on. Yuugi tried the door knob, nodded, and opened the door. Inside was the strangest sight they had ever seen. Yami Bakura was sitting there with a CD Player and he was listening to the music. Something struck Yuugi like a lightning bolt.
"Wait! How come you have your own body now?" Yuugi recalled seeing Bakura inside a body on the day he had been having one of his bad days and doing his cutting for blood.
"It's called 'technology'. And don't bug me while I'm feeling nice." He turned up the volume.
"DANG! NOT EVEN -I- TURN UP MY MUSIC THIS LOUD!" Jounouchi shouted.
"Wait a sec!" Yuugi pranced over and turned down the volume, staring at the Yami, his face slowly changing colors like a chameleon...But all of the senses seemed to be tuned into the color red.
"No, wait...How'd you get a body?" Yuugi backed away from Bakura, who looked as though he could punch holes through a cement block.
"That's for me to know and you to find out. Why do you want to know anyways?"
"Because it might help me..." Yuugi's voice faltered. Help him with what? All his life had led to was the leaving of his Yami, everyone growing up so much faster than him and leaving him behind.
----Flashback (This isn't a real flash back, okay? I just made it up.)----
Yami: Aibou...I'll never leave you, no matter what.
Yuugi: Arigatou. That's the best news I've heard all day!
Yami: -smiling- I'm glad you think so...I love you, Yuugi.
Yuugi: And I you.
----END FLASHBACK----
Yugi nearly started breaking down infront of Bakura, who was trying to figure out how to change tracks. Jounouchi walked casually up to the Yami, who was losing patience, which was not what one should do while one of your worst enemies in the world is getting angrier by the moment.
"Here, baka--,"
"No, Jounouchi, don't call him that!" Anzu screamed.
"...dis is how ya change tracks. See? Easy-peasy." Jounouchi said, as if Bakura wasn't giving him a look as though he were about to kill him.
"Shimatta! I know how to do it myself!" Bakura smacked Jounouchi across the face, leaving a shining red mark.
"Aw, hey, is dat how you treat me for helping you, ya big ungrateful brat?" Jounouchi pointed an accusing finger at Bakura, clutching his face with his other hand.
"Jounouchi, don't push it!" Anzu was staring at them, wide-eyed.
"Huh? It'd bad enough that ya don't thank me, but ya ignore me, too!" Jounouchi was ignoring everything Anzu was saying. Honda was standing there in one corner, sweating his head off out of fear and anxiety.
"I SAID I CAN DO IT MYSELF!" Bakura pressed the button on the CD player rapidly to represent the fact that she knew how to do it himself, resulting in the button falling off.
"Haha, serves ya right, ya big, fat--Anzu!?" Jounouchi was highly surprised as Anzu pulled him backwards, a hand clamped over his mouth tightly and bracelets rattling.
"Jounouchi-kun! What do you think you're doing? He could kill you!"
"Sumaisen, but it's his fault if he's so ungrateful!"
Yuugi shook his head.
"Let's just leave, minna. We need to figure something out."
They left, Anzu and Jounouchi still bickering and closed the door on Bakura, who looked slightly disgruntled by the situation.
Yuugi gathered them all into a circle.
"Guys, don't you think it's weird about how Bakura has his own body? I mean...He need's Ryou's so...I'm a bit curious about what's going on."
"Honto? I don't really care, actually. It's not a big deal. But I'm curious about what Kaiba's up to."
Yuugi stared at Honda, who suddenly had an unusual, thoughtful look on his face.
"What do you mean?"
"Kaiba's always up to something."
"Yeah."
"EXACTLY! Now let's hurry before-,"
A guard walked up to them and cast them all a dirty look.
"Ohayou," Anzu said automatically to the guard, trying to soften up the look on his face.
"Hmph." The guard walked on down the hall, not bothering to look back through his dark glasses.
"There's someone ya can't please," Jounouchi remarked loudly as the group continued on their way.
In the lobby, they heard something.
"Kuso!" A loud crashing noise proceeded.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Kaiba was yelling at one of his workers...again.
"Man, he never gives his workers a break, does he?" Honda eyed the staircase before them warily, expecting someone to tumble down.
"Matte, Kaiba-san! I will process it into the database! You just have to-,"
"I gave you a whole HOUR to do this! What were you doing all this time?"
"Onegai! I will finish it, Kaiba-san!"
"No! You're fired, you irresponsible idiot!" A noise that sounded like Kaiba kicking someone followed.
"ITAI!" A man fell from above and crashed into Otougi.
"Agh! This is the last straw with 'Kaiba-san'. Yeesh, he messed up my hair!" Otougi rubbed his head and got up slowly as Honda helped pull the man off his back.
"Daijobu desu ka?" Anzu asked kindly, leaning down.
"Iie." The man got up, holding his leg in immense pain. "There's something wrong with Kaiba-san." The man adjusted his dark glasses and turned to the group.
"What do you mean?"
"His eyes have suddenly been very dull lately. He doesn't seem to be quite as energetic on the inside than on the outside. I mean, he just looks kind of...blank."
Yuugi looked panicked.
"This could only mean one thing!"
"Nani?"
Yuugi paused for a sec.
"Malik is here."
Joey: I hope I do better in fights in this one.
Lightning-Dono: I don't know--I make everything up as I go along!
