Baby China: Noooo! Not fair!!!!

black13: can I read it online? If I can, I have no problem.

iwantSK: u guys are amateurs. Watch the master... (Pricks herself with a pin to make tears.) NOOO!!!!! You can't!!!

Af1717: I can, and I did. : P

Baby China: (pouts) At least in this chapter Yami don't get sacrificed right?

iwantSK: Sacrifice! Sacrifice!!!

black13: I don't really care...

Af1717: NO! This ISN'T the chapter where he gets sacrificed...I think...

Baby China: THINK???? Oh, NOW I feel so much better. I can't believe you guys!!

iwantSK: speaking of guys, where are Seto and the others?

Af1717: I dunno.

Baby China: If u don't know, then...I'LL FIND HIM FOR YOU!!!

Af1717: Hey, which him are you...(suddenly realizes) HEY! Get BACK HERE!! (Runs out after Baby China.) Yami's mine!!! MINE I TELL YOU!!!!

black13/ iwantSK: --;;;;

Yami: odd...but I love to see them fight over me.

black13/iwantSK: OO;;;; Whoa!!! Where the hell did you come from?!!!

Seto: We've been listening in on your conversation.

Joey: ya, for the past few days too. I swear, you girls talk about the most interesting things...

Baby China/Af1717: uu well, we couldn't find... Yami there you are!!!!

black13: hold it. These three have been listening in on our conversations for the past few days.

iwantSK: you KNOW what that means...

Girls: DISCIPLINE!!!! Bwuhahahahahaha!!!!!

Boys: RUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm. That was interesting. Anyways, Baby China, black13, and iwantSK are all my friends. So, YOU BETTER R&R THEM TOO!!!!! Ok, now, I won't update the next chapter until I get at least 10 more reviews to my current number. I know I'm threatenful, and... I LIKE IT!!!! : P. So, here are the story names of the pplz I included. "Sweet Summer Love" (Baby China) "The rockstar" (black13) "The secrets of the stars" (black13) and "Healing a Lost Soul" (iwantSK) SO, that's that. I do not own YuGiOh. I would've made Yami do it, but well, you know the situation. LOL! So, R&R and enjoy chapter 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.s. I predict another cliffhanger!!! Ah. And I changed Yuri's name to Umiko for some reasons...

...................................................

After they had gotten inside, the suppliers (ppl who supplied energy for the orb) also got inside one by one.

"Umiko!" cried Tomoya running after her. Umiko turned around.

"Umiko, are you sure you want the powerless to come with us?" Umiko sighed and thought for a moment. "We have to. It isn't safe up here."

"What?" Tomoya asked confused. "Why not? This is like one of the safest places ever!"

"Yeah," Umiko sighed. "But not under these circumstances. Bakura's minions could come along any minute and destroy this shrine."

"Destroy?" gasped Tomoya. "B...but what about Hochi and Amana and the servants? What will become of them?" Umiko sighed again. Tomoya looked at her face and did not see her thirteen- year-old friend. She saw an older, braver Umiko. One that wasn't afraid of anything.

"Tomoya," she said. "I have already told them. I have foreseen this thing happening. Don't you realize? The reason why we were all brought here was because of me! I told Hochi and Amana one year ago that we would all come here and the evil will be unleashed once more."

"So that's it." Said a deep voice. Umiko and Tomoya turned around. It was Yami and Ryushi.

"Come on," said Ryushi slipping an arm around Umiko's waist. "We have no time for this. We have to take action." He leaded her to the orb where everyone was impatiently waiting.

"He's right," said Yami also slipping an arm around Tomoya. "We have to go." Tomoya allowed herself to be steered to the orb. She leaned against him.

"Yami?"

"Hmm?"

"If Umiko could predict the future,"

"Yes?"

"Then why hasn't she told us what will happen after we get down there?"

"Maybe because even she can't predict this."

"What?"

"As I understand it, there are some things we are able to see and things we are not. Small things like simple fortunes are things we are allowed to see. Big things like the end of the world cannot be seen because we are meant to live things out. Even an experienced foreseer wouldn't see the outcome of this."

"Oh." She said. Yami and Tomoya walked inside greeted by angry shouts.

"Kaiba!!" shouted Joey.

"What do you want, Wheeler?"

"I want you get away from Mai!"

"Why? It's not like I'm doing anything to her."

"I don't care! Just move!!" Duke rolled his eyes and stepped between Joey and Seto.

"I'll just stand here. You know, to keep the peace." Duke said.

"Anyway," said Umiko. "Is everyone inside?"

They all nodded.

"Then, let's shut the door."

Everyone watched in amazement as a multi-colored panel slipped into the open space.

"Whoa!" Shouted Joey in wonder. "That's amazing."

"Yeah," whispered Mai.

"We have a problem," said Serenity.

"What?" asked Tomoya.

"I don't think there's enough room for all of us," she said pointing to the crowded conditions inside.

"No problem." Said Umiko. "This thing will grow as big as it needs to. Not an inch bigger or smaller." She was right. Right before their eyes, the orb was growing. Now they had room to breathe.

"Now," said Ryushi. "Is everyone ready?"

"Yes." They chorused.

"Good. Now, in a few short moments, you'll have to be ready to fight with all you've got. Understood?"

"Yes!"

"Now are we ready to go?"

"Yes!"

"Okay." Ryushi said to Umiko. "Time to go."

"Right," she said. Then she added. "You know, you should become a coach or something. You're really good at pep talks."

"Hmm, maybe I'll consider it."

Umiko pressed her hand into the side of the orb. She glowed for a moment and the orb started moving. Slowly, it moved across the cloud then, it moved down off the cloud.

'Now,' thought Yami. 'It's time to face my destiny. I may not know how it will turn out, but what ever it takes, I'm ready."

Af1717: Whew! All in one day!

Baby China: No fair! Another cliffhanger! I hate cliffhangers!

black13: So do I but I don't complain...I think.

iwantSK: Whatever. It's nice to see that Joey and Seto are getting along.

Baby China: GETTING ALONG?? What are you talking about? They were about to kill each other if Duke hadn't stepped in.

Af1717: Where did they go now?

black13: I bet they're listening in on our conversation right now!

iwantSK: No, I think they learned their lesson.

Af1717/black13/Baby China: they look at each other... Nah! They're complete airheads.

iwantSK: No! Well... sometimes.... Yeah, you're right.

So how did you like this chapter? This is actually how my friends would react to a cliffhanger. I love that word. So, as I said b4, I need at least 10 reviews to my current total to write the next chapter. Well, how about a totally random comment? Let's see...AH! I hate Tea! I really do. She should DIE and DIE and DIE! O Who agrees with me? (Readers raise their hands) Yea! I knew it!! Anyway, R&R!!!!!!!!!! Make me happy! LOL!!!!!!!!!! ALSO: could anyone recommend two good Japanese girl names? It can be anything, but I would like it to be some kind name related to a flower. Please? Can you? Domo Arigato!!!! (I need it for my next chapter.) Remember...I need 10 more reviews! 32 plus 10 = 42!!!! (Right iwantSK?) And 42 is the magic number!!!!!!!!!! So R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
