"Ow ow ow ow...ow ow ow ow..." Bakura cried.
"Shut up! Or I'll kill you all." Kojima only tugged harder. Practically dragging them downstairs. They finally went into a gray room. It was really warm. They went down another case of stairs and finally ended up where Mai was.
"Here we are...Remember, if you're bad, pop goes the weasel!" Kojima sang.
"Mai" Jonouchi shouted.
"Hey, I said shut-up! I'm getting tired of your ugly face, maybe I should kill you now!" Kojima said tugging the string to his face. Then showing his gun full of bullets. "One Shot in the back of the head, and you'll be dead...All of you. How does that sound?" Kojima made one click sound in Jonouchis' face as a warning.
"I'll be out of here in no time! I'm going to get my friends out and I out! You're the only one who's going to eat bullets!" Jonouchi spat blood in his face.
"Don't get him wound up, Jonouchi!" Dark Yugi exclaimed.
"Jonouchi! Let them kill me, I'll be okay, I promise," It was Mai. She was hanging over the red fire source; the rope was tied to loosely to her. Whenever she decided to hang herself.
"No! I can't let that happen! Mai! I...I..." Jonouchi shuddered trying to fit in those words.
"I know I do too. You don't need to say anymore than that. Besides, you have to let me die, think of how better off I will be in your thoughts. Life is so lonely. I won't be able to take myself anymore. But I-do to,"
Mai's voice shot his heart in pieces. He felt so hurt. This time he didn't feel like it would be bad to be shot right now by Kojima...but it would be giving up on his friends.
"Mai, your words...But I want to...I feel-"
"Forget it, no one ever wins the war of death and love...let's just face it loveis death!" Kojima said mocking of what his thought was on the voice of love, "Come on, you guys are all babies...so, guards? Take Jonouchi and hang him up with Mai so I don't have to hear their squabble."
"What!" They all exclaimed.
The guard did as he was told and clamped Jonouchi over the red fire source with Mai.
"Mai," Jonouchi exclaimed.
"No, Jonouchi!" Mai cried, "You do know that we'll now be hanged to death, right?"
Jonouchi got into a thought. The heat was so hot. How long had Mai been able to stay so collective and fine? Jonouchi wasn't feeling well.
"It's a bad thing that they're smelling hot toxic fumes...I thought he would've been a good maid or something," Kojima snickered.
"That's not funny," Anzu said.
"Hm... You must be, the voice of reason. Yes? I can see it."
0o0Darn, there's got to be some way out of these ropes. Honda's still upstairs!0o0
That's right! What are we going to do?
"I can see someone is mad," Kojima laughed.
"Mai, you do know that what is above is toxic," Bakura asked.
"Oh no," Mai looked over at Jonouchi, he was getting really weary, "Jonouchi! Breathe through your mouth, there's toxins below us"
"Huh?" The blood from his mouth, nose, and eyes was going everywhere.
"Listen Jonouchi, you got to breathe through your mouth. If you get too many toxins in your nose it'll destroy everything!" Cried Anzu.
"It's true! Don't pass out you guys," Dark Yugi said.
0o0Are you sure they'll be okay like that?0o0
XxIt'll help them for now. It's just better than getting your tissues destroyed.xX
0o0How long do you think it'll last?0o0
XxI don't know, but if only we could get free...xX
0o0Aw...man.0o0
XxThat's it! Yugi, believe that we'll get out of here and try to untie us!xX
0o0I can't do it. I don't think I'm strong enough.0o0 Yugi began to cry.
XxYugi, if you can solve the Millennium puzzle, you can solve your way out of this just think. You're small enough to sneak around and untie everyone else.xX
0o0 But what if they find me?0o0
XxI'll be sure to switch and fight them off. It's team power. Let's do it!xX
0o0Okay.0o0 Yugi began untying the rope. 0o0 I can do it! It's so much easier than I thought! Just like when I solved my puzzle.0o0 Yugi got free and ran behind Anzu.
"Anzu, we're going to get out of here." Yugi whispered.
"Okay, how did you get out," Anzu asked.
"Questions later, go find Honda and bring him here," Yugi said. "Take my puzzle, my darkness will take anyone who tries to attack."
"Right," Then she quietly ran up.
Yugi untied Bakura.
"Great Scott! I'm free!" Bakura exclaimed.
"Shh..." Yugi said.
Kojima turned around and saw that everyone was mostly freed.
"We got some loiterers," a guard said.
"Get them!" Kojima exclaimed.
"Run!" Bakura and Yugi cried.
The loiterers were Seto and Mokuba.
"Seto where are we," Mokuba said and looked around a for awhile, "There's Jonouchi."
"And Mai," Seto added.
"They don't look too good," Mokuba said.
"Come on, let's get them down from there!" Seto ran up to where they were. "Help untie them."
Mokuba did as he was told.
"Okay Mokuba, we're going to pull them in," Seto said.
For a moment Jonouchi turned his head, "K-Kaiba..."
