Chapter 6 Remote Island

Yugi ran into the back of Téa. "Huh?!" He looked around Téa and up at her. "Téa, what's wrong?" He asked the silent girl. Téa blinked and watched the plane burn, listening to the crackling fire. "That's probably my diary...making the fire last..." She sighed, looking down at the ground. "Aw come on now Téa! There's so much in there! Your small diary can't be the only thing burning in there! It'll be okay. Tell you what. When we get off of this island, which is whenever, I'll personally buy you a brand-new diary!" Yugi reassured Téa. Téa smiled and turned to Yugi. "Thank you Yugi..." She felt a little better. She let out another sigh and looked around. "I wonder where are we..."."Deserted on a remote island..." A voice answered. "Huh?" The two teenagers turned around to see Yugi's yami.


Téa's POV

It's Yami! Oh thank heaven! He's alive! 'Oh Yami you're alive!' I squealed as if I was his all time, number one fan-girl.

"Yes, alive and kicking." Yami said eyeing Yugi, probably to see if he's OK. Hey! Why isn't he eyeing me?! "Yugi are you alright?" Yami set a hand on Yugi's head.

Yugi smiled up at him, argh what the cheese!? He's so busy with Yugi, he's forgetting all about me! "Yes yami, I'm fine." Yami stroke Yugi's wet sandy hair.

"What have you been doing little guy, rolling in sand?" Yami chuckled as Yugi gave that adorable confuse face.

"Not really." Yugi answer with a small giggle. "If you count me rolling in the sand, tripping, then yes I have been rolling in sand."

'Hey do you think we'd get off the island?'

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Hey answer my question!

"Yes, thanks for being concerned."

"Ok good."

'Hello?'

Yami, so it seemed to me, was gazing down into Yugi's eyes.

'Hello, anybody?'

And Yugi looked back up at his oh so sexy yami.

'Hey!'

They ignored me. Argh! This is an outrage!

'Hello!!' and they still gazed into each other's eyes,

HELLO!!? IS ANYONE LISTENING TO ME?!

Yugi shook the moment off and Yami smirked. "What is it Téa?" Yami asked me finally noticing me.

'Do you think we're going to get off the island?' I asked, once again.

"Hmmm...Probably not in a while." Yami replied, oh now that's not the answer I was expecting.

"Where are we going to sleep?" Yugi asked.

"We should be looking for a spot." Yami answered quickly.

'Where?' I questioned him.

"Probably right here, there's nothing to lose." Yami shrugged.

'Alright then.' I sighed, I wasn't expecting that either.

Yami's POV

I was lying on a hotspot of the ground, the sandy ground of the island on which I lay. I slowly arose from the ground and took looked around. All I saw was palm trees, sand, and the ocean, that seemed to never end. Two bird flew briskly across the ocean as the sun shined down, reflecting the sun's light. I dusted the sand off from my legs and walked up to the shoreline and gazed down at the sea. My reflection seemed so real, but of course it was not. I picked up a round pebble, traced a finger on the smooth surface and dropped it into the water. Small ripples in the water grew wider and wider from every ring of water.

Everything was peaceful and the squawks of the seagulls were not helping the silence. In a swift second a hand grabbed my shoulder and, in response, I quickly grabbed the arm and pulled it. I was forced to turn around and came face to chest with Seto Kaiba.

'Kaiba?' I asked, surprised he would even touch me without any strong tug.

"Yami..." he said, he seemed very serious at the moment. Then again...when is he not serious?

'What're you doing here?' I asked. Well that was a dumb question Atemu.

"I'm stuck on this remote island you smart ass."

I stared at Kaiba for a moment and repeated the sentence, over and over and over in my head. Was that the way to speak to a person? I don't think so. Kaiba, you should learn how to speak to a person without that constant attitude that would never die out.

'Well...where are the others?' I asked him pulling his hand off of my shoulder.

"They made a sign for help." Kaiba replied and kicked some sand onto me. Weird thing was the kick was so playful and not serious.

'Hey! What was that for?!' I growled, getting a bit annoyed at him.

"I felt like it. Come on, they're waiting for us." Kaiba said and took my arm and walked me to the group of people surrounding an area that seemed rather interesting to them. I gave a quizzical stare at the group and turned my attention to Kaiba. All he did was watched them, and was in a hypnotized stare that sort of creep me out at the moment. I glared up at him, one last look, and walked up to the group.

'What are you people doing?!' I asked Téa, but she didn't respond. Nobody respond. I was the only one making noise, the shuffling feet and constant sighs I released. I spotted my hikari at the center of the circle, the gang has seemed to form, and ran up to him. 'Yugi!'

"They're coming..." He said in a lifeless tone in his voice. He lifted his small hand into the sky and pointed at...I'm not sure...

Everything looked blurry when I wanted to look up. I saw a blurry gray figure coming down upon the circle. I gasped, was it?! It is! It's a helicopter! They are coming! No, check that. They're here to save me...um...err...us!

"Come on! We can only carry seven at the most. If you can squeeze in we can fit more." One of the rescue men called out to us and landed in the center, right next to Yugi and me. "Come on."

I stared up at them. I watched as the group entered the helicopter, but I was left alone. I cocked an eyebrow and shouted, 'What about me?!' I called up to them.

"Yami!!!!" I heard, it sounded like my hikari. "Come on! You can fit!"

I reached up to his hand, nearly reaching him. When I did get a hold of it I was carried up to the sky, but unluckily my fingers slip and I fell into the cold salty ocean.

Normal POV

Yami's eyes shot open, quicker then any old blink. Now a new day was born and the sun is shined strongly. Everyone was still resting their eyes from last night's drama. Téa slept near Yugi, he was closer to his yami, since Yami has pulled him closer to him. He sat up to look around, it felt like a dream, but it wasn't. Yami stood up and dusted the sand off of him. He looked around and sighed to himself. He walked up to the shoreline, and looked back at his hikari and then to Téa.

"That dream..." Yami said quietly to himself as he looked back at the ocean water. "It...It felt so...real..." He reached down and picked up a pebble, the same pebble he saw and felt in his dream. He dropped it into the water and watched the ripples grow wider and wider, just as they did in his dream. He sighed and watched the rings in the water until they stopped growing within every ring.

Yugi felt the warmth of his yami absent. He begun to toss and turn, until he felt the hot sand in his face and briskly hopped up in a sitting position. He looked around, searching for his yami and found him. He quickly got up and rushed over to him. "Yami!!!" He called to him as he ran to his direction. He quickly went to an abrupt stop right when Yami turned to face him.

"Hey you." Yami greeted kindly.

"Ohayou Gozaimasu!" Yugi greeted his yami.

"Ohayou Goziamasu." Yami smiled down at him, but the smile wasn't all that perfect. After all he hasn't smiled in such a long time, he really stuck to grinning.

"Do you think the others are alright?" Yugi asked his yami, gripping on his jacket tightly. "Yeah they should be, subtract the scratches and cuts, they should be just fine." Yami ruffled Yugi's already wet and wild hair.

Yugi's hair was wild from all the ruffling he's been doing on the ground as he slept last night. "Are you sure?" He tilted his head.

"Yeah..." Yami said. "Maybe..."

"What did you say?!"

"If it makes you feel better, we'll look for them now." Yami suggested, trying to make his frighten and concerned light feel better.

"Really?" Yugi said gripping tighter on Yami's jacket.

"Yes really." Yami nodded. "Let's go."

They walked off together in search of their friends and enemies. Little do they know, they totally forgot about Téa, which wasn't very like them especially in Yugi's case.

Kaiba, on the other hand, was laid on the ground, alone in the open sun. He tossed over and groaned. He shot up from the ground he laid and looked around. The sand was a tad to hot for him to lie on. He stood up and looked around. He examined the remote island on which he stood. "Where am I?" He asked no one in particular. Then he notices he was alone. "Hey where's Mokuba?" He asked and saw nothing but sand, some palm trees in front of him and the ocean. "Mokuba!!"

On the other side of the island our lovely, slow, blonde-haired friend was already awake and running around vigorously in big and small circles. "AAAAAH!!!!!" He yelled, kicking the sand from the heel to toe. The sand kicked up here and there, but he didn't care since he was to busy panicking. Besides there was no food or civilization anywhere, so wouldn't you be screaming too? Probably, probably not. "Somebody help me!!!!!"He screamed, and sooner or later he tripped on his foot and twisted then fell flat on his face. His face landed in the hot sand and he quickly rolled onto his back. He let out a groan of hot pain. "Where is everybody?" He asked looking around. Then a shadow swiftly moved from tree to tree. This caused Joey to get up and spin around. "Hello?"

Malik and Ryou were another story. Malik was sitting calmly on the ground under the shade of a great number of palm trees. Ryou was sleeping in the shade peacefully, with his friend. Malik gazed down at the sleeping white-haired angel. He reached out, to Ryou's soft head of hair. The scent of the ocean flow throughout the air, and the noise of squawking seagulls were all that was heard along with the soft breeze he felt. Malik sighed and stood up, "I'll be back, and I'll just leave you for a little bit." He assured Ryou, even though he can't exactly here all he was saying, but it was all good. Malik started to dust the sand off of his pants and shirt then started to walk away from the spot he stood. Ryou didn't notice he was gone, he's sleeping what do you expect from the boy? All was peacefully, but not until Malik's infamous yami jumped out of the trees, causing Ryou to jump up.

"Hey Ryou."Yami Marik smirked at the trembling hikari of his best accomplice. Ryou felt his heart pounding, he placed a hand over his chest and eyes-widen.

"Yami Marik!" Yami Marik smirked and walked up to Ryou and placed his hand on Ryou's head.

"You're just fine my boy."

"Yeah well," Ryou started looking down, "you startled me."

The dark and evil half of Malik smirked and removed his hand off of his head and asked, "Where's that little bastard?"

"Malik?"

"Yeah."

"Malik!"

Ryou looked around, trying to find him but had no luck. "Where did he go?!"

Yami Marik chuckled, he very well knew that his hikari left little Ryou all alone. He picked up Ryou to his feet and dusted the boy off. "He left you obviously."

"Well I know that, I-I'm just trying to find him." Ryou hesitated.

"Uh-huh..." The sandy blonde Egyptian trailed a finger across Ryou's cheek.

"Have you, by any chance, seen my yami?"

"Yeah, he's with me." Yami Marik said turning his head back and no one was there. "Hey, where'd he go?"

"I don't know, you tell me." A husky voice said, and Yami Marik snatched Bakura's hand, pulling him to them. "I knew you were there." He said smirking. "Uh...er...you're liar." Bakura stuttered, swiping his hand away from him.

Ryou tilted his head and stared at the two dark halves. "You two need professional help." He suggested.

"Shut up Ryou! You need professional help too!" Bakura snapped.

"Why?" Ryou questioned his yami.

"You got problems that no one knows but me." Bakura said smirking evilly.

Ryou looked around nervously. He knew what his yami was talking about. The problem that he had was that he was lonely. He didn't have many friends. It was all because of his childhood. "Yeah OK, whatever you say." He said sarcastically. "But you are the one who needs it the most. Take Dr.Hibbert, he's highly recommended for people like you...." Ryou said once again with his sarcasm, but this time he put a huge fake, but oh so real, smile.

Bakura raised an eyebrow at his hikari and in a swift second he struck Ryou's back. "And people like you and Yami Marik."

Yami Marik raised an eyebrow and stared at the two of them peculiarly. "What in Ra's name are you two talking about?"

"I'm talking about some psychotherapist." Ryou sighed and looked over at Bakura.

"But there really is nothing to talk about it. That's a dumb subject to talk about. It's a waste of time." Bakura sighed and walked out of the shade and across the sandy island.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" Ryou called out to his yami that was now about to be a speck. Yami Marik shook his head slowly and started to walk; he turned around and motioned Ryou to follow him. Ryou smiled and walked with Yami Marik to follow Bakura to who knows where.

Joey's POV

I sighed and poked my head through the palm tree forest, but I saw nothing but more palm trees and grass, along with mud puddles and bugs. Me, walking into the trees, shouted, "Hello! Is anybody out there?!" but no one answered, if you prefer the sound of steps as an answer that is. "Fine!" I cried out and saw someone walk up to me. "Who de hell is you??" I asked the human figure coming up to me.

"H-Heh heh." a man grinned at me psychotically. "I'm Captain Sham, heh." This so called "Captain Sham" was wearing a sailor uniform, which was far from white like it was suppose to be. The blue stripes were a dirty brown and the knee of his pants was a hole that showed his scarred knee. A crescent cut was on his right sleeve, blood dripping from the cut on his arm. "Y-Yeah. Who are you???" he asked me with a slight grin on his face.

"I'm a-person-who-is-stuck-on-the-island." I answered. Like I'm going to tell him my name! Yeah okay.

"What a weird name." Captain Sham giggled, but didn't sound like any giggle I ever heard. This man is starting to creep the hell out of me. I think it is best for me to turn around and run as far as I can...away...away from this disturbing Captain Sham person. Hey...what kind of a name is "Captain Sham" anyway? Who named him, his mother? Or maybe it was his impure father? I bet one of them were drunk that evening, or morning, when she had him.

Captain Sham... and what is his real name? Jomerry Sham?!

"So..." I looked around. "I got get going now." I need to get away from this freak. "I got some friends to see. Uh...bye." I ran away as fast as my legs could carry me and ran into...

Kaiba's POV

Me! What in the world is Wheeler's problem? He cannot see me or something? "Wheeler." I growled, pushing that pathetic human being aside.

"Hey!" the unintelligent intellect snapped back at me. "Why don't you, watch where you're going rich-boy?!" the blonde-genius (sarcasm of course) threw a hand full of sand at me and hurled it at me.

"Oh how offending. Sand all over my face and hair, I'm irritated now Wheeler. I'm going to kick you so called "ass" all around the island to America!" I grabbed the blonde and struck my fist across that moronic face of his. The blonde yelped and closed his eyes. "Ha! That's very manly of you Wheeler." I laughed at the weak one that fell onto his behind when I dropped him.

He rubbed his cheek and growled. "Why'd you have to hit me?!" he whined, eyes squinting in pain, voice a bit shaky, so easy to take over... to make him mi—quiet Kaiba! You don't know what you're talking about! Snap out of it and leave already!

'Oh shut up.' I spat, glaring down at the blonde who sat before me. "Get you pathetic body up!" I yelled at him, I swear he is too much for one person to handle. I wonder how is "friends" can put up with an imprudent individual so like himself. I heaved a sigh and about face from Wheeler and begun to walk away. I didn't want to stay any longer with him. God only knows what I will think about him next.

But...it looks as if he was suppose to be made mine...and only mine...I should take the chance and take hi—Seto Kaiba what is wrong with you?! You mind should be focusing on finding Mokuba and get the hell off of this island!

I knew it was a bad idea to come here! I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Well Seto, the being you are you don't say a word, now do you. Geez, what a hell of a lot of trouble this plain ride got us in. Well I can't fix the past; I should go find Mokuba right now.
