---I apologize to all for the ending of the last chapter. It was because of a problem I had in the original copy of this. There was no way to resolve it so... yeah. Those who have read this before might have some clue about what I'm talking about.
I will ask only one thing of you my lovely reviews; please don't leave messages that stretch the screen, its kinda annoying.
Oh and no telling whose in the bush yet. You'll have to wait a few more chapters.---
Day Twelve
"Where'd Jeff go?" asked Bakura impatiently.
The Totama tribe had been waiting for a while now for the host to return, but there was no sign of him. The fire in the middle of the tribal council area had burned out and the morning sun was starting to peak over the trees, bushes, and whatever else was around.
Bakura glared at the sun, wishing it would burst into a ball of flames, not realizing the fact that it was already a ball of flames. Eventually he had to look away when the sun started to burn his eyes.
"Maybe he got lost?" Mako shrugged.
"He just had to go through the bush," Bakura growled, blinking his eyes rapidly, amazed by the little black dots that he could now see. "He's not that stupid."
"He's at his mansion."
Everyone turned to see Tea standing by the bushes. Right next to her, Jeff came out of the bushes with the Millennium Puzzle Box.
"Tea, get out of here!" Jeff glared at her. Tea grinned and left.
"You have a mansion!?" Seto exclaimed, just registering what Tea had said, "Does it have technology!?"
"I HAVE NOTHING!" screamed Jeff, getting all big and scary. Everyone went real quiet, "Good. Now this time, to read the votes, we'll do something special."
"Come on!" Atemu protested, "We've been here for, like... EVER! Can't you just tell us who leaves?"
"It was a tie between Atemu, Mako, and Isis." Jeff said quietly.
"So who loses?" Mako asked.
"Well you talked first," said Jeff, "So you lose."
"Is that fair?"
"Is anything they do fair?" countered Malik.
"True." Mako agreed, getting up and carrying his torch over to Jeff.
"Mako, your mouth has spoken." Jeff smiled as he extinguished Mako's torch.
"Awww, fish sticks!"
"Can we have some fish sticks?" Joey yelled from the Amerex tribe.
Day Thirteen
"We are all worms," Ryou said in a bored, yet insightful tone, "But I do believe I am a glow worm."
"Thirteen days." Yugi nodded.
"Thirteen days?" Duke asked, giving both Ryou and Yugi a weird look.
"I was counting how many days it took before Ryou lost it." said Yugi as Marik walked over to them.
"Oh." said Duke.
"How long did it take me?" Marik asked, sitting down next to Ryou.
"Not even one." Yugi said, shaking his head. He stood up and walked away.
"Welcome, Mako, to the new tribe," Shadii smiled as he, Mai, and Tea lead the newest outcast though the woods, "Modsine."
"What's with the new tribe?" Mako asked. He didn't like the fact that he was in the woods with these freaks.
"We feel like we were voted off too early." said Mai, pulling a little wooden statue. She placed it on the ground.
"All hail Kel, our idol!" Tea exclaimed. She, Tea, and Shadii bowed to the little wooden statue of Kel. Mako stared wide-eyed at the three as if they had lost their minds, which, they probably had.
"Isn't that the guy who got voted off for eating beef jerky?" Mako asked, picking up the statue and looking at it.
"It was grass!" cried Shadii, snatching the statue back.
"And he should have won!" exclaimed Mai.
"With the power of friendship, we shall raise again and we shall win!" cheered Tea.
"There can only be one survivor." Mako said raising an eyebrow at them. They looked at each other and then back at Mako.
"... So!?!?!"
Over at the Totama tribe, Malik sat contently in his newly finished tree house. He sighed happily as he hugged his beloved Sphinx Plushie close to him.
"I did it Mr. Fuzzy," He whispered, "I survived another tribal council. Our alliance is working great."
"MALIK!" Isis yelled from outside the tree house. Malik crawled over to the door and looked down at her, "Are you talking to that stuffed animal again!?"
"It's a plushie," Malik corrected, "And no."
"Whatever," Isis sighed, "Why don't you come down and spend some time with the tribe?"
"Isis!" Malik whined, "I don't want to come down!"
"Why do I put up with you?" muttered Isis, rolling her eyes.
"Cause you love me." Malik smiled sweetly. Isis just merely shook her head and walked away.
On the beach of the Totama tribe, Atemu sat, drawing pictures in the sand.
"Computer..." he mumbled. Bakura was lying down on the ground, sun bathing. He sat up and looked over at Atemu.
"What are you mumbling about now, Pharaoh?"
"Computer!!" Atemu exclaimed, pointing into the ocean, where in fact there was a computer.
"Where!?" Seto asked eagerly, looking out into the water. He saw the computer float by. He stared at it wide-eyed then took off after it.
"It's just a little soggy! It's still good! It's still good!"
Day Fourteen
It had been a very boring day at the Amerex tribe. Well actually, everyday had been a boring day since they've been trapped on the island. Especially for Marik.
Without his rod he had no power to control his tribe mates and make them do stupid things for his amusement (Not that they didn't do stupid things without it.). Without anything to destroy, he had no evil things to do. And without having his lover in his tribe, he had no one to love.
Marik looked around to see who he could torment today. He saw Joey, who was still sleeping and decided that it was time that the mutt got up. He crawled over to the other blond and poked him. Joey rolled and looked up at the yami, dazed.
"How many more days until the game is over?" Marik asked. Joey blinked a few times.
"I don't know," Joey yawned, "I lost count."
"You can count?"
Joey glared up at Marik.
Seto sat on the beach with his slightly water-logged computer. With his amazing genius, and a few coconuts, he was able to get the computer to work. Enough to send e-mails at least.
The first thing he found when he turned the computer on was an e-mail from Mikari. With what he gathered from the e-mail and what had been going on lately he knew exactly who to blame for having all forms of technology being ripped away from him. And he knew just who to send an e-mail to.
Lar! I know you had something to do with us being on this island! When I get voted off or the other people get some brains and build a boat, you will pay for taking away my technology! Oh yeah, thank Mikari for sending this Comp-
At that precise moment the computer died. Seto stared wide-eyed at the black screen. His screams could be heard, even on other side of the island at the Amerex tribe.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
"That sounded like Seto." said Duke.
"Wonder what his problem is?" Joey asked.
"MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"His computer." Espa said as if that was a major discovery.
"Thank you, Mr. Psychic," Duke said sarcastically and Espa glared at him.
The Modsine outcasts ran after Mako, as he tried to make his way to the boat off the island. Modsine wasn't eager to give him up that easily.
"No!!!" Shadii yelled as they reached the beach. "Don't leave us!"
"Join us!" screamed Tea, "Be our friends!"
"Traitor!" yelled Mai as she tried to tackle Mako. He jumped on the gangplank and ran onto the boat.
"Go away freaks!" Mako yelled at them as the boat started to sail away. "I lost. I'm getting off this island."
"We're going to starve now." Shadii sighed. They were depending on Mako to catch fish for them. Tea and Mai nodded in agreement.
Malik had finally decided to leave the safety of his tree house. He had gone off into the woods to retrieve the mail and had just returned.
"We got a letter!" Malik smiled as he showed his tribe mates a piece of paper with the letter 'A' on it, "And on the back, there's a note."
Malik flipped over the paper and showed them a musical note.
"Great..." said Atemu slightly confused, "Where's the tree mail?"
Malik blinked.
"Tree mail?"
"Tree mail!" Ryou said, joyfully returning himself from getting tree mail.
"Yay..." some of the Tribe Mates said, less then enthusiastically.
"It's time for a switch, its time for a change
Within your tribe you might be strange
If you think you know what's going on
You'll come to find out you're totally wrong."
Day Fifteen
"Has anyone seen anything strange around here?" Jeff asked as soon as everyone had got to the immunity challenge. The tribe people all shook their heads, "Well I was walking around my mansi- I mean the island and I found this."
Jeff showed them the little wooden statue of Kel.
"Hey! That was the guy who ate beef jerky." Ryou pointed out, which was not the smartest of ideas.
"It was grass!!" the voice in the bush cried out, "Kel! KEL! WHY!!!!!!?????????"
They heard whoever was in the bushes crying and frankly, they were a little freaked out by it.
"Oh well." shrugged Jeff, throwing the wooden statue into the bushes.
"MINE!!!" the bushes rustled as the voice scrambled to get the statue.
"Ok, now it's time for the immunity challenge," Jeff grinned, "Buff lotto!"
"We don't have buffs," Yugi pointed out, "You never gave them to us."
"Well now you will." Jeff said, pulling several red and green buffs out of a random bush.
"YAY!" cheered Ryou, Duke, Marik, and Joey.
"Now you will pick out a buff," said Jeff, putting all the Buffs into a sack. "And whatever color you get will be your new tribe."
"But I like my tribe," Atemu protested, "We're like family."
"We are?" asked Seto skeptically.
"Too bad, this will make the game more interesting," Jeff said, "Bakura, you first."
"Why do I have to go first?"
"Because I said so!" Jeff held the sack out in front of the white haired spirit.
"Fine..." Bakura muttered, reaching into the sack pulling out a red buff.
"Totama!" Jeff said cheerfully.
"That's such a change." Bakura said, glaring at the red buff in his hands.
"Espa, you're next." Jeff held the sack in front of Espa. He closed his eyes and reached into the sack.
"I predict a great change." Espa said, pulling out a red buff.
"Totama!"
"Yeah I'm right!"
"For once." muttered Joey quietly.
"Malik," Jeff turned the sack to the blond. Malik reached in and pulled out a green buff, "Amerex."
"How come everyone changes but me?" Bakura said, glaring even harder at his buff.
"Luck of the draw." Malik grinned, putting his own buff into his hair. Over the next few minutes, both Duke and Tristan became new members of Totama, and Seto and Isis joined Amerex.
"No!" cried Malik after his sister drew out the green buff.
"Still, everyone changes."
"Joey," Jeff held out the sack and Joey drew out a green buff, "Amerex!"
"There you go love," Marik smirked, "He didn't change."
Bakura grumbled as both Atemu and Yugi joined Amerex.
"Yay!" cheered Yugi, "We'll be unstoppable!"
"Speak for yourself," Atemu said, "I'm going to win this game!"
"Not if I have anything to do with it!" laughed the voice in the bush.
"Marik," Jeff held out the sack and Marik drew out a red buff, "Totama!"
"Ok," Marik said, not really caring what tribe he was in. Until he noticed who was in his tribe, "Yes!"
Marik tackled Bakura to the ground, lips locked in a passionate kiss.
"No sexing on the island!" the voice in the bush yelled.
"Awww." Bakura pouted, breaking the kiss nonetheless.
"Last person, Ryou," Jeff said. Ryou gulped and reached into the bag, pulling out a red buff. "Totama!"
"Great I'm stuck with my hikari," grumbled Bakura, who was still on the ground with Marik.
"Well, Ryou, since you picked Totama out last," said Jeff, "Your tribe will be going to tribal council."
"Ryou!" yelled the new members of Totama.
"Gomen nasai..." Ryou said quietly.
The new Totama tribe was gathered that night at tribal council. Most of this new tribe hadn't really experienced it. Bakura, however, was now a tribal council expert.
"So Totama," Jeff welcomed them, "How's your new tribe?"
"Well, we haven't spent much time together." said Ryou.
"I love my new tribe." Malik grinned.
"You only love it because of Bakura." Duke said.
"What's your point?"
"Well you all seem to be doing well," Jeff said, "Time to vote?"
Random jesters of yes.
"Good. Who will be going this time?"
Once again, the members of Totama made their way, one by one, to cast their votes. As soon as they were done Jeff stood up.
"Time to count the votes."
Jeff walked though the bushes. The sounds of writing and folding paper were heard, along with the opening and closing of the Millennium Puzzle Box. Jeff returned.
"Ready?"
"Just get on with it." Bakura growled.
"You don't have to get all hostile on me."
Bakura growled again, his eyes glowing red and he started foaming at the mouth. Everyone but Ryou and Marik, who were both very used to this kind of behavior from the white haired spirit, scooted at least two feet away from Bakura.
"Ok, the first vote goes to Tristan." said Jeff, looking frightened.
"Uh oh."
"Next vote goes to Espa."
"I predict this won't end well."
"Another vote for Espa."
"You may have predicted right." said Ryou. Espa gulped.
"Vote for Marik."
"What!?"
Bakura stood up and glared at his tribe mates.
"Which one of you inferior son-of-a-one-eyed-Perrier-dogs voted for my lover!?"
Everyone looked extremely scared as the spirit gave them a death glare beyond all other death glares. Yet, they all looked extremely innocent too. Jeff slowly raised his hand and Bakura shot his death glare at him. Marik just looked stunned.
"Why!?"
"Lar- I mean the island spirits told me it was a bad idea to have you two on the same tribe so I was trying to fix it," Jeff said quietly, not looking up into the death glares he was receiving from the yamis, "I'm sorry! I'll go back to reading the votes."
"That's a very good idea." Bakura said, sitting down again.
"Next vote is for Tristan. He and Espa are tied," Jeff said, pulling out another slip of paper, "Next vote is for... Seto?"
Jeff looked up curiously at the Totama tribe.
"He's not even in your tribe anymore."
"I know," Bakura shrugged, "I forgot who was in my tribe now."
"Last vote is for Espa."
"Hey!" Espa said, cheerfully getting up and carrying his torch over to Jeff, "My prediction was right!"
"Espa, the tribe has spoken."
Jeff extinguished Espa's torch. Espa walked off very happy because he finally got a prediction right.
