Peggi-I am SO sorry, guys. I know I haven't updated in forever, but I've been working on a Vash quiz series at quizilla and I simply couldn't find the time to write, and now with bad writers' block on this fic, it's a short chapter. . .
Legato-Stupid idiot lazy girl.
Peggi-You shush. Oh, and guys, if you haven't seen the Yugioh movie yet GO SEE IT, IT WAS AWSOME!!!!!!
Kaiba-She kept fangirl squealing everytime Pegasus appeared on the screen. The man sitting in front of her and her friends.
Peggi-Yep! He got mad cuz we were loud. . .OH WELL! Ahem, enjoy (the super short) chapter 3!
CHAPTER THREE
Ryou looked over the coin several times making little noises such as 'hmm' and 'uh-huh. . .', and it began to drive Tea crazy!
"Okay, so what is it?!" she asked him, impatiently
"Well," he began, looking up at the girl who was staring at him with her hands on her hips "I think it's some sort of ritual coin. If I'm not mistaking, I think that it's used by vampires to revive a vampire that has been slain."
"So. . .say vampire 1 dies, vampire 2 gets pissed, takes the coin, and brings vampire 1 back to life?"
"Well. . .something like that. . .it's not quite that simple, but. . .see the vampires must have an item that belonged to the deceased vampire and then they put it in a cauldron and have some sort of an enchanter place a hex over it. Usually the ingredients also added to the cauldron will be Ivyseed and-" he realized that Tea was giving him a funny look at that point "um . .there's a lot of ingredients, and plus, they have to draw the same markings on this coin, on the ceiling above the cauldron."
"Well, there were marks on the ceiling that looked like this. So, who do you think the vamps brought back?"
"A friend perhaps? I'm not sure. Maybe you should talk to Pegasus the next time he calls. Do you know when he's coming back from the watcher's meeting?"
"Um. . .I'm not sure. I think he said some time next weekend."
"Right. Listen, I'd love to stick around, but I'm supposed to meet up with Yugi a little bit later and we're going to do 'the thing'."
Tea giggled. To anyone who didn't know what Ryou had been talking about, that could have sounded . . . wrong. Yugi and Ryou had their normal activities of eating candy until they got sick while watching crappy soap operas all day long. They'd done it since they were kids, and who would want to break tradition? Tea hugged Ryou goodbye and headed off to Joey's house. She put on her light sweater and walked through the neighborhood to his house. He only lived a few blocks away, so the walk wouldn't have taken too long. . .on a normal day.
"Okay, whoever is following me, come out right now. I'm getting really sick of you spying on me like this." She said, stopping dead in her tracks.
"I'm sorry. . .I'm only following orders. . ." said a voice from behind her.
She spun around to see a young man who appeared to be in his early 20's walking out from behind a car.
"who gave you your orders?" she asked
"I can't tell you that." He replied, a bit nervously.
"Well then can you tell me what your boss wants from me?"
"No. I. . .I can't tell you anything. But I'll tell you this much. If you love him, tell him. While you can."
"Huh?"
The man pulled a crystal out of his pocket and whispered something that Tea couldn't hear, and before she could stop him, he was gone.
That evening, Tea called Pegasus from Joey's house.
"So. . .you have no idea who he was working for?" Pegasus asked her.
"No idea. Do you think he might have anything to do with the ritual thing that was performed to bring a vamp back?"
"I'm not sure. I want you to patrol tonight, and be very careful. Someone might be plotting something."
"right."
"Maybe I should come home early. You might need some help researching, as soon as you figure out who sent out the scout this morning."
"Yeah. . .that would be useful."
They hung up after a few more minutes, and almost as soon as Tea hung up the phone, Joey called for her.
"Tea! Come into the living room, quick! You won't believe what's on the news!"
