Lola: Argh….I'm sooo tired..It's like..1:32 am…and I have nothing better to do, so why not type?
Bakura: (caughing) because you are terrible at it…
Lola: (sneezes) shut up… youre just pissed because im not sharing the cold medicine…
Bakura: Well, it would be nice if you DID.
Lola: keep on dreamin, bud. I don't own yugioh, so don't sue me. It's not like you'd get anything out of it anyway, cuz im broke and the only thing I have in my posession right now is my cold pills. So nya.
Yugi, Ryou, and Bakura had come to a standstill in the lobby, not finding anyone there. Sighing, they went to the cafeteria, as they were serving breakfast. They got their food at the buffet and sat down at a table in the corner, pondering and quietly discussing there situation. They all wore caps and sunglasses to hide their identities, because any of them being around Yugi in public was pretty much bad luck.
Yugi sighed, poking his scrambled eggs around his plate in a depressed manner. His girlfriend AND his best friends were missing! He looked up to see Bakura stabbing harshly at the food on his plate, a heated glare on his face and his hands shaking. Ryou was just watching both of them, not really eating anything.
"We have to find them…they're in this hotel somewhere." Ryou said slowly, looking from one to the other curiously. They both hadn't said a word since they had reached the cafeteria. Bakura seemed to be sulking; violently, that is. Yugi was just flat out depressed. "Jeez…can't you guys lighten up? It's like you've both given up! And I know that isn't anything like you, Yugi. Or you Bakura. Now come one…we're going to finish searching." He said, pushing his chair back and standing up.
Yugi and Bakura just stared at him, before dragging themselves from their seats and going down the hall with quite a bit less enthusiasm then last time. Ryou shook his head, hurrying after them.
MEANWHILE
Lola sighed, shaking her head as she sat next to Brian and Mandy. Eruna and Serenity were both asleep, snoring on the other side of the room. Brian seemed to be in deep thought, and Mandy kept muttering colorful phrases under her breath, mainley directed at the 'assholes' as she put it, that had just went up the stairs. Frowning, Lola took a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolding it carefully. The page was quite worn and yellowing, the date that counted back to eight years ago, when she was seven. Neatly printed lyrics were scrawled along the lines, small smudges in the ink from when she had been crying.
Brian leaned his head over her shoulder, leaning against her since he was so tired. Lola didn't mind it; she was more focused on the paper that they were staring at. Brian knew what it was; it was a song she had written back when she lived at her home. He scanned the lyrics carefully, having read them a million times and over.
I close my eyes when I get too sad,
I think thoughts that I know are bad,
Close my eyes and I count to ten,
Hope it's over when I open them.
I want the things that I had before,
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door,
I wish I could count to ten,
Make everything be wonderful again.
Hope my mom, and I hope my dad,
Will figure out why they get so mad,
Hear them scream, I hear them fight,
They say bad words that make me wanna cry..
Close my eyes when I go to bed,
And I dream of angels who make me smile,
I feel better when I hear them say,
Everything will be wonderful someday..
Promises mean everything when you're little,
And the world's so big ,
I just don't understand how,
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes,
Tell me everything is wonderful now..
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now..
I go to school and I run and play,
I tell the kids that it's all okay ,
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know,
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home.
Go to my room and I close my eyes,
I make believe that I have a new life,
I don't believe you when you say,
Everything will be wonderful someday..
Promises mean everything when you're little,
And the world is so big,
I just don't understand how,
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes,
When you tell me everything is wonderful now..
No,
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now..
No,
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now..
I don't wanna hear you say,
That I will understand someday,
No, no, no, no,
I don't wanna hear you say,
You both have grown in a different way,
No, no, no, no,
I don't wanna meet your friends,
And I don't wanna start over again,
I just want my life to be the same,
Just like it used to be,
Some days I hate everything,
I hate everything,
Everyone and everything,
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now…
Lola sighed, blocking out unwanted thoughts as she folded the paper up, putting it back into her pocket. She bit her lip, which already had sores on it from her biting it too much. Brian had fallen asleep like the other two, still leaning on Lola's shoulder. She smiled slightly at him, remembering when she had taken care of him when they were younger.
Mandy grumbled, looking at Lola. "Do you think those guys are ever gonna get here?" she asked, leaning against the wall. Lola looked up, shrugging. "I don't know…and I really don't care anymore…." She said quietly, not lifting her gaze. "What happens when they get here? How are they going to help us? The only one that has genuine shadow powers is Bakura! The most Yugi and Ryou can do is fight physically…face it Mandy, we're doomed…" she muttered depressedly, slouching.
Mandy stayed silent for a while, looking up when the door opened. Seth leaned against the doorframe, a gun in his hand. "Wake the others up. Im being generouse enough to feed you. Up. Now!" he barked. Lola scrambeled to her feet, which woke Brian up. Mandy went to the other side of the room, waking Eruna and Serenity up. Five minutes later, they trudged up the stairs, Mandy giving Seth a death glare as she went past him.
He gave her a cold look, continueing to push them into the living room of the hotel. There were small bowls on the table with some sort of unidentifiable food in them. Eruna ate it slowly, as did Serenity and Brian. Mandy frowned, looking away from it. Lola did the same, not feeling up to eating. "You know, I don't think I want to eat anything you give me, it looks disgusting. Oh wait…that's just you standing next to it." Mandy said boredly. Seth glared, not doing anything about her. Big mistake. Ten minutes later, Mandy was behind him with the gun in her hand, pointing it at him unwaveringly.
Lola blinked, knowing Mandy was smart enough not to shoot. Brian's eyes were wide, but he kept silent. Eruna and Serenity 'eep'ed, but did nothing else. "Move. Down. I don't care, whatever you do, get your ugly ass out of my sight." Mandy growled, cornering him to the door. Seth glared, before exiting. Yami and the others had probably gone somewhere, since the place was empty.
Mandy moved forward, locking the door. A few seconds later, she threw the gun under the sofa, glaring at it. "Ugh." She said simply, sitting on the couch and turning on the TV as if nothing happened. Everyone else gradualy went back to eating, except for Lola, who went to the kitchen and got herself a sandwich instead. Little did they know, a war was about to rage…
MEANWHILE
Yugi and Bakura, followed by Ryou, had just gone down a separate hall when they spotted a group of people outside a hotel room, two yelling heatedly at each other while the others watched as if it were a football game.
"What! You let them take over!" a boy with spikey black, red, and yellow hair yelled. Yugi and the other two noticed it as Yami, and the other as Seth, who had an equally angry look on his face.
"No, you moron! They took over themselves! That crazy girl had a gun! What the hell was I supposed to do!" the younger yelled irritably, causing Yami to grumble and kick the door in. Yugi and the other two heard resounding screams as Yami started yelling at the people in the room. Yugi Identified them all at once, and the three headed over to the room.
The war had just begun.
Lola: Gah….I finally got it done!
Bakura: Amen folks. R&R so I don't have to listen to her writers block rant anymore, okay?
