When Joey arrived at the park, he noticed the others sitting on a bench, quietly talking amongst themselves. Their faces all had a worried look on them, then lit up with an expression of pure relief when they saw who it was that approached them.
"Joey, you're ok! Did you have any luck?" Tea asked as she stood to greet her friend. She was relieved to see him safe and unharmed.
"Ya I'm ok, but I didn't have any luck. All I got was that their lord was rich and powerful." he was disgusted with himself. He had chased down a vampire and let it live. All so he could get some useless information out of it. How was he to get revenge upon his sister's killer if he couldn't find it, let alone kill it? Then again he didn't know who it was. Not that that mattered, if they could find this vampire lord, all would be good. At least he'd have his revenge. Joey was about to scream in frustration, but Yugi spoke up before he had the chance.
"Ya we didn't get anywhere either. The most we got was that the lord was rich and powerful and a CEO. He owns a mansion in town. Not that it will help us any. There's hundreds of CEO's in town, and its not like we can go up to each one and say 'are you a vampire.' We'd be locked away for sure." yugi let out a long, heavy sigh. He had just made himself depressed. He removed a silver arrow from the quiver on his back and started spinning the glittering weapon in between his fingers. There was an awkward silence between the friends. Joey was the first to speak.
"I still say it's Kaiba." he said, completely serious, but with a friendly tone in his voice.
"Joey for the last time it's not Kaiba. Now mill you give it a rest," Tea said, gently slugging him in the arm.
"Well can we kill him just to make sure," the tall blonde questioned. He was mostly joking.
"No!" the others all yelled in unison. Then they all laughed together. The first true laugh they had shared since Serenity's death.
"Common everyone," Tristan said, standing. "We had better go home and get some rest; after all, we have a busy night ahead of us tomorrow."
"Ya he's right, night everyone. Yugi you coming?" Tea questioned.
"Yup." said the spiky haired teen. Then he and Tea left the park walking in one direction, as joey and Tristan headed the other way. Tonight they'd rest, and then tomorrow the real work would begin.
