Hey everybody! Here's the next chapter! Sorry it took so long, but I had a great idea for another fic, so I had to start writing that one. But, I'm back. Enjoy! =)

Chapter 6: Who Can You Trust?

4:00 pm on the blimp:

Kaiba walks in with Mokuba, who he finally found hiding in one of the bedrooms in the shelter. Now, the only thing on his mind is getting out of there.

"We're leaving...NOW!!!" He said as he walk into the blimp.

Everyone gave him a weird look, but realized that they really didn't want to stay there another second, either. They all agreed as Kaiba & Mokuba went to go tell the pilots that they're leaving. As they reached the door, Kaiba noticed there was coming from the space under it.

"Stay here, Mokuba." He said as he approached the door. He turned the doorknob & the door slowly came open.

"Holy Shit!"

"What's wrong, Seto?" Mokuba came running up to Kaiba to see what he saw.

"Stay back, Mokuba!" But it was too late. Mokuba had already saw the pilots ripped apart, their body parts scattered all over the room. Everything was covered with the pilots' blood. Whoever did this also seriously damaged all of the controls. Mokuba passed out as soon as he saw this. Kaiba caught him just before he hit the ground. He picked him up & carried him to their room. He placed Mokuba on the bed so he can rest. Kaiba then returned to the TV room to meet up with the other guys.

"We're not going anywhere!" He told them.

"What do you mean we're not going anywhere!?!" Duke asked, confused at what Kaiba just said.

"The pilots are dead & the controls are ruined."

"Dead? How?" Joey asked, also confused.

"I'm not sure how, but you definitely don't wanna see them."

"I'll take your word for it." Mai said.

"Sounds like whoever did that wants to make sure we never leave this place." Duke said.

"That's right. And that means only one thing." Kaiba replied.

"What's that?" Yugi asked.

"One of you killed the pilot & screwed up the controls, which means one of you is that thing." He said as he pulled out a gun from his jacket.

"Whoa, Kaiba! Calm down, man!" Tristan tried to convince Kaiba to put the gun away. "You don't know what you're talking about!"

"I know exactly what I'm talking about! You guys were the only ones here while I was looking for Mokuba, so it had to be one of you!" He said as pointed the gun at everyone in the room.

"Wait, Kaiba!" said Rose. "What about Mokuba? Don't you think it's possible that Mokuba could be that thing?"

"What the hell did you just say?" Kaiba started walking towards her, pointing the gun only at her now.

"Think about it, Kaiba. He was missing for a while & we couldn't find him anywhere. That thing could've..."

Kaiba pointed the gun right at her forehead. "Shut the fuck up or I'll blow your fucking head off!"

"If you're gonna shoot me, then shoot me! But I'm telling you, Kaiba, we did not kill the pilot or messed with the controls!"

"YOU'RE LYING!!!"

"Don't do it, Kaiba!" Tea yelled.

Kaiba kept the gun pointed at her. Rose continued to try to stand up to Kaiba, but Kaiba saw the fear in her eyes. If she was that thing, she wouldn't have that look of fear. A gunshot, even in the head, couldn't kill it, so it would have no reason to be afraid of being shot, but Rose obviously was which made Kaiba realize that she was telling the truth. Kaiba lowered his gun. "Rose, I'm so sorry." He said as he pulled her close & hugged her tightly. Everyone, including Rose, was very confused. Rose hesitated for moment before hugging him back. She could feel him trembling.

"Kaiba, what's wrong?" She let go of him so she could talk to him.

"I don't know. I guess after what happened to Serenity & the pilots, I'm just not sure who I can trust anymore." He paused for a moment. "There's something I want to show you guys, especially you, Joey." He took out something from his pocket & walked over to Joey. Kaiba handed a small box to him. "Open it."

"OK." Joey opened the box as everyone else looked over his shoulder to see what it was. Inside it was an engagement ring. Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

"After the tournament, I was planning to propose to Serenity." He took the box from Joey's hand & put it back in his pocket. "If that's not enough proof that I truly cared for your sister, then I don't know what is."

Joey now felt like such an idiot for the way he acted earlier that afternoon. "I...I'm really sorry, Kaiba, for not believin' you."

Kaiba stayed quiet. He just gave Joey a look of forgiveness.

"Kaiba,.." Rose put her hand on his shoulder. "I know you miss Serenity, but so do we. And I can assure you that none of us are that thing. And I'm sorry about what I said about Mokuba."

"That's alright. I probably would've said the same thing. I guess I'm just a little stressed out right now."

"Well, then you should get some rest. We'll stay here & figure out how we're gonna leave this place."

Kaiba agreed & went back to his room & closed the door behind him.

Everyone stayed quiet for a moment.

"So.............how do you suppose we're gonna get off this frozen wasteland, Rose?" Duke asked.

"How the hell should I know, Duke?" She replied. "I was just trying to calm Kaiba down." She sat down on the sofa & sighed. "Honestly, it seem s pretty hopeless that we're ever gonna get out of this place."

Joey went over to sit down next to her. He held her hands in his. "Rose, don't talk like that. We're gonna get outta here. I'm not sure how, but I know we are. We have to."

Rose pulled her hands away from his & stood up. What Joey just said only made her even more frustrated. "Joey, why don't you open your eyes for once?" She started to raise her as she continued to talk. "We're stranded in the middle of nowhere, miles from anyone! We can't call for help cuz the controls are all fucked up! And who knows how long it'll be 'til anyone even starts to look for us. We'll all probably be frozen to death by then!"

Joey stood up & started to raise his voice as well. "Well, I'm sorry. I was just trying to make you feel better. Apparently, that's not good enough for you! I guess I'm not good enough for you, either!"

"What the hell are you talking about, Joey?"

"Everytime I try to comfort you, try to get you to tell me what's buggin' you, you always push me away! Well, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of you bein' such a selfish bitch & not appreciate a damn thing I do for you!"

"Joey, that's enough!" Tea tried to stop him from saying anything else before he really hurt Rose. But it was too late. Rose's expression was already mixed hurt & anger towards Joey. She quickly walked past Joey & everyone else, tears rolling down her face. She went into her room & closed the door behind her.

Joey, also angry, went to his room & slammed the door.

Everyone was silent, shocked at what they just saw & heard.

"Whoa.." Tristan said. "I've never seen the talk to eachother like that before."

"Yeah, me either." Bakura agreed.

"How could they snap at eachother like that?" Tea asked.

"I don't know." Yugi answered. "I guess Rose couldn't' hold back all of her stress anymore. She had to get it all out. And I think Joey just took it the wrong way & thought she didn't appreciate him."

"It seems like everything that's happened is just tearin' them apart." Duke said.

"I guess so. They've never said such hurtful things to eachother before."

"Do you think they meant any of it?" Bakura asked.

"No." Tristan answered. "I know Joey better than anyone. He's crazy about Rose. He would never even think about intentionally hurting her."

Everyone fell silent for a moment. But then, Mai came up with an idea. "You know, we should really look for a way outta here. Let's go back to the shelter & see if we can find something that can help us."

"I guess it's worth a try." Tea said.

"So, let's go. You guys coming?" Mai asked Yugi, Tristan, Duke, & Bakura.

"Sure." They all said. Everyone put on their jackets & headed out the door into the freezing temperatures outside.

Wow! I've never heard Joey talk to Rose like that, either. LOL! Plz R&R. Will Tea, Tristan, Yugi, Bakura, Duke, & Mai find anything in the shelter? What will happen to Rose & Joey's relationship? Find out in the next chappie, coming soon. I'll be putting up the first chapter of my other story soon, so keep an eye out for it! ;P
