.Meet the Sweet-homes

Amber-K- I apologize for the last chapter it was way out of line. I was mad at my Dad at the time. But you're cool again.

The teens all walked in silences, no one said a word. Their surrounds had started to change from the desert to a forest and meadow. The tall trees shaded them and it cooled them off enough for them to talk.
"Sorry." Marik said.

"It's alright. You just said what everyone else was thinkin." Tristan said, throwing his arm around Marik's neck, "It least you didn't let out your creepier, eviler Spirit."

"What did you say?" Malik looked at Tristan, "Remove your arm." Tristan did and also moved away, "I've been thinkin and it's ort of unfair that you four an change places at any moment."

"Well some of us never wanted an extra spirit in the first place." Kaiba said.

"What you don't like me?"

"No, I just don't like the fact you're walking around with my face. I have enough people in this world dressing like me."

"Have you seem anyone dressed like you?" Joey asked.

"Yeah, I'll give you a hint." Kaiba pointed to Tristan.

"TRISTAN!"

"Me!"

"Yeah you I could tell you were trying to pull my look off. But I wasn't going to say anything them cause I didn't want to embarrass you." Kaiba looked but at Tristan, "I haven't embarrassed you have I?" "Nope not at all."

"Good because you just stepped in crap."

"Ahh!" Tristan yelled, "Well didn't you say anything?"

"I dunno. Didn't seem all Oww!" Kaiba yelled.

"What?" Tea asked.

"I just stepped on a bear trap."

Everyone looked at him, "All you said was Ow and you stepped on a bear trap." Joey said if I was you I'd be screaming blood murder."

"Oh you guys you want me to panic and cry and stuff."

"It would help if you at least looked as if you were in pain." Yugi said.
"I'll do that next time I step on a trap." Kaiba move hi other leg and it trigged I other trap. This time it hurt even worst.

"Okay you're in pain." Marik said. Marik shook has head, that was extremely careless of –"In and instant Marik was hanging upside down by his feet.

"Is this a hunting ground or somethin?" Joey said

"It appears to be." Bakura said.

"Well, we should be on our guard."

"Oh, that's great." Marik said, "By the way nothing but some old branches and leaves are holding you 5 up."

"Whoa-"Joey, Tristan, Duke, Yugi and Bakura all fall into the pit. Tea was hanging over it, since Marik had grabbed her arm before handed. Tea looked at Marik, she knew he liked her a whole lot. He showed it all the time, but Serenity liked him. After he swung over to the side he got himself loose. Kaiba limped over his ankle was killing him.

"Are you guy alright?" Kaiba asked the one in the pit.

"Yeah fine." They said.

They used the rope to pull them out of the pit. And then they or at down, when they noticed Kaiba are ready had.

"How's ya ankle?"

"Only the left one hurts."

"And it's bleeding." Duke pointed out.

Kaiba pulled his boot off and discovered it was worst them a little sprain, the wound you really deep. Everyone stared down at it, and them at each other, "Anyone know first aid?" Yugi asked.

"I'm goin die."

"I passed first aid." Joey said.

"Yep, you're going to die. And sine you're so young I doubt you wrote out you will, and who's going to take care of your baby brother." Marik said, "So who's your brother's new guardian?"

"Well it has too to be a person I trust and is over the age of 16. So it none of yall."

"Who's left then!"

"Mai, and Ishizu and your brother."

"Yea no Kaiba you're not goin die your going to have to walk or limp with that pain for the rest of your life."

"Are you putting a cures on me."

"No, it's called a heck's. If I wanted to cure you I'd cure your family and friends. And I'm pretty sure that would pertain to me and my sister and brother. "
"Oh." Kaiba looked at the others they looked as if they were thinking. They all sighed it seemed so hopeless, they didn't even know what country they were in.

"Hello there looks like you in a bit of trouble." A short middle age woman said, "Legs hurt himself?"

"Whose legs?" Tristan said.

"Tristan, who's the tallest here."

"Kaiba and Marik are tied."

"What is Mai's nickname for KAIBA."

"Oh."

"Are any of you hurt?"

"I am."

"Well my house is about quarter mile from here. You eight can rest up there and we can have nice chat."
"Okay they said."

"You kids will have to sit in the back of my pick up. We smell like poop and sweat." The lady said, waving her hand in front of her face.

"You'd smell bad too if you haven't bathed." Marik thought, as he helped Kaiba up, "This whole thing doesn't make sense."

After anyone you in the back of the pick-up, the lady stated driving, "This lady is pretty nice." Yugi said.

"Yeah, but I have a bad feeling about this. She seems too friendly. Just like when my parent want me to baby-sit." Duke said.

"Or when my brother want something." Kaiba muttered.

"So you think she want something?" Tea said, "What could he possibly want from a bunch of smelly teen?"

"I bet he has alot of children. And she want us to baby-sit." Marik said.

"Marik you watch too much TV. Where do come up with this stuff ?" Duke asked, "What was the last movie you've seem?"

"Hmm, ok I saw 3 movie in the morning with Serenity and 6 in the afternoon with my sister and brother and one more with Serenity and that was Catch Me If You Can. "

"When did you have time to go see a movie with Serenity!?" Joey asked.

"On Saturday." Marik answered.

"I thought you already had a girlfriend."

"No, where'd you hear that from."

"It was all over school, every girl is after you now that they think you have a girlfriend." Tea said.

"But I do have a girlfriend."

"But you said you didn't."

"I thought you meant before Serenity."

"Oh, but is these Serenity Joey's sister?'

"Joey has a sister! What she look like."

"Marik she was on at the finals. Don't you remember."

"I remember only three girls. You, Mai, and my sister. This forth isn't ringing any bells."

"Reddish – brown hair." Tea said, she looked at him. He looked shocked, "What."

"Oh no. That girl."

"You're really dating Joey sister! Why wouldn't she say anything about him?'

"He can't know about this. He'd kill me."

"Know about what?" Joey asked.

"Nothing." Marik said, "Every thing is fine."

Joey stared Marik, "What's up with you man. You're acting as if I was going to ring your neck."

Marik put his hands over his neck, "I'm cool.'

"If you're cool stop shaken."

The truck came to a halt. And the lady got out, "Here we are. Home Sweet Home."

The teens looked at the house it was a long one story house, but Home Sweet wasn't what they would say. It had kids running around everywhere.

"I told you. No one is that nice to let eight smelly teens stay at their home. There is always a catch, and this lady she just caught a bunch of baby-sitter." Marik said, to his friends, "We are going to died today."

"Oh shut up." Bakura said.

"What are you names?" the lady asked, "I'm Mrs. Sweethome. Where are you eight from? Not from around here I an tell."

"No, most of us are from Japan." Tea said, He's from Egypt. And his from England."

"Oh, a real Egyptian, I always thought they had Black hair. Do you worship god's a stuff?"

"Not exactly."

"What's your name sweetheart?"

"Marik."

"What about you Legs."

"Kaiba."

"Got a last name."

"Yeah."

"..What is then?"

"Kaiba."

"So what's your first name?"

"Seto." Kaiba said.

"And you half pint."

"Yugi Muto."

"And you Blondie."

"Joey Wheeler."

"You, the British one."

"Bakura."

"Got a first name?"

"How'd you know that wasn't my first name."

"I have 16 children, I just know."

"Ryou."

"Ahh, that's cute. And you two. "

"Well, I'm Tea Gardner."

"And I'm Duke Devlin."

"Wonderful name." Mrs. Sweethome walked toward her house ,"Come along I want you to meet the children and Mr. Sweethome."

The teens followed her into the yard, if you could all it that it was more like a war zone. Once inside a strong odor hit them, "What is that?!" Tristan asked coving his nose.

"Sorry, one of the children must not be feeling well." They entered an other room and a man at in a recliner, drinking a beer.

"Who they?" he said.

"Some lost teens, they came from Japan, and that one is an Egyptian, and that one is British."
"A real Egyptian, he don't look it. Aren't they supposed to have black hair. "

"What do you know." She said, "It's obvious that he dyed it."

"I didn't dye my hair!" Marik said.

"We know it must be had living at a place where every one this the same color hair." Mrs. Sweethome patted him on his shoulder.
