A Bloody Path

S. Hawk: I lived to chapter four? Wow. Where is Seto, I wonder?

(Seto has been captured by Chaos)

Seto: Get the (censored) off of me!

Chaos: (hugging the life out of Seto) Mine now.

Seto: Somebody, help me!

S. Hawk: Ummm... Are you asking me for help?

Seto: (sarcastic) No, the guy in the pink dress. OF COURSE YOU!

Y. Hawk: (confused) Guy in the pink dress? (Everyone turns around)

(Pegasus is wearing a pink dress)

S. Hawk: AHHH! My eyes! They burn!

Y. Hawk: Somebody, kill it!

BK: Meow! (The horror!)

Pegasus: What? I like this dress.

Pegasus as Disclaimer: S. Hawk does not own Yu-Gi-Oh.

(Everyone runs to purge the sight out of their minds)

To reviewers: Thank you all who reviewed! I enjoy the fact that you all enjoy this fic. I'll keep writing if you keep reviewing. I don't know how long the entire story may end up to be if that were the case. I have added a little lime to this story because there hasn't been much progress so far. It's just a teaser for further events to happen. I hope no one minds. Anyways, time for individual reviewers.

Clyde007: Well, I thought it was amusing what happened to Kaiba. As you can see, Kaiba did not appreciate that (look at disclaimer for chapter 2 & 3). Thank you for the compliment.

I kno where to get pot: You punk! (Calls you punk because I know you didn't read any of the chapters) Kissing up will get you nowhere with me kiddo. If you actually read it, I might have considered it a compliment.

You punk! (Calls you punk because I you didn't read any of the chapters) Kissing up will get you nowhere with me kiddo. If you actually read it, I might have considered it a compliment.

Kikoken: I know that you would probably get away. I barely got away myself. Unfortunately, Pegasus is now after me in his pink dress. (Shutters) Thanks for the compliment.

Sakura: It's Kaiba. He made an entire amusement park to kill Yugi! (It's in the manga) He is a genius when it comes to evil plans. I agree that Serenity is very innocent.

Shizuka: (wide-eyed doe) I'm innocent? I am kind of nice, I guess. I wouldn't call myself innocent though. I can be tough when I want to be.

S. Hawk: Ummm...Okay.

Y. Hawk: (points) Look! A lost puppy!

Shizuka: (shocked) Where? I'll take care of it until we find its owner.

Chaos: (sarcastic) Yeah, really tough Shizuka.

Chapter 4: Health care

Domino Hospital

As Yami was wandering down the hospital halls, Joey ran up to him. "Joey! You should be resting! Why are you up and about?" Joey told him that Dr Suzuki released him and the trouble that Malik and Tristan caused. Joey also told Yami that Isis left a while ago and that he just missed her. Yami was not pleased that he missed seeing Isis. A thought occurred to Yami. "Where is Malik?" Both of them looked at each other and ran towards the room Joey and Malik was in. Malik was gone. A sense of dread arose in Yami. (Censored) Malik is gone! He could cause a lot of trouble if he is loose! We must find him. Yami told Joey to look for Malik in the East Wing while Yami tried the West Wing.

While Yami and Joey were looking for Malik, he was walking towards the trauma room. Malik was excited to see all the fun medical equipment around. He could have a lot of fun with these. As he was gathering his new "toys", he noticed that a blue eyed doctor followed by the buffoon Tristan run down the hall.

Reika was checking on her patients while being stalked by the janitor. The patient in the first room she was in looked pale. They had glossitis (a sore tongue) and angular chelosis (cracks at the corner of mouth). She noticed a slight spooning of the fingernails. This guy has koilonychia too. Ugh, I can smell the alcohol from here. I bet this guy has alcoholic gastritis. That could mean he has- Tristan decided that this was a good time to interrupt her thoughts. "What's wrong with that guy?" Reika looked over at the high school senior. This guy has been following me all day. I might as well teach him a thing or two about my job. It might be good for him to know. "I have a guess but I want to run some tests on him first." She wrote down the tests she needed on the patient's chart and handed it to Tristan. "If you are going to follow me around, at least you can hand this to the nurse waiting outside." Tristan did as he was told and the nurse began to collect the samples for the test. Tristan looked at the chart until Dr. Suzuki smacked him upside the head. "There's confidentiality between doctor and patient that I want to preserve now. Don't look at their chart." Reika went to the lab after a few more moments examining her patient.

The lab results were finished and here were the results (it would be way too much hassle for me to actual write all the data so I'll just put the results for all the testing): hypochromic, microcytic anemia; absolute reticulocytes count decreased; RDW increased; ferritin decreased; saturation decreased; and serum transferrin receptor increased. With these results, she knew what the patient has. She noticed the hole in the patient's stomach when she ran an ultrasound during her examination. She told Tristan to follower her. He was going to do that anyways but it felt good to him that she ordered him to do that. It meant that he was no longer stalking her.

"So, what's wrong with the guy?" Tristan was curious now that he knew that she was willing to talk to him. Reika said that she couldn't say because of confidentiality. People know that doctors can't break confidentiality so Tristan let the subject drop. They eventually arrived at the patient's room. When the patient saw them, he asked what was wrong with him. "Janitor, get the hell away from the here! Confidentiality, remember?" The patient told her that it was okay for Tristan to stay. She consented. "You have iron deficiency anemia. A small ulcer created by your excessive drinking caused it. We need to get your consent to operate on you to repair the damage. We will also supplement you with iron shots to replenish your body supply." Tristan had no clue what she just said but it sounded bad. He personally didn't like needles. Well, the patient consented. Reika called the operating room to set up the surgery. With that, she smiled, told the patient to wait for the room to be prepared, and she left.

While Tristan and Dr. Suzuki were busy, Malik had taken a lot of equipment and he was heading towards the recovery room. When he got there, Malik saw that one of the patients was waking up. The patient happened to be Tea. "Friendship girl! What the hell happened to you? You look like you were beaten up. I'm here to help you." Actually, Malik was bored so he decided to play doctor with Tea. "Here, take this and this and this." Malik shoved three pills into Tea's mouth. The pills were an antidepressant, a vasodilator, and a tranquilizer. For those who couldn't guess, this is a really bad combination. As Tea fell on the floor, Yami walks in and sees the trouble Malik has caused. "Pharaoh, what are you doing here? Hey, Tea and I were playing doctor. What are you doing? What are you wearing?" Yami saw how critical the situation was so he jumped into the soul doll. As he entered the soul doll, Yugi regained control of his body. Yami's new body had clothes this time. Unfortunately, Yugi only placed Barbie clothing on the soul doll. The result is that Yami is now wearing a very fashionable pink mini skirt, tank top w/ spaghetti straps, heels, and a cute mini matching purse. "Yugi! What the hell am I wearing? Why am I dressing like a Barbie doll? Why do you even have Barbie doll clothing? Damn! No time for that! Yugi, start giving Tea mouth-to-mouth while I start chest compressions!" Yugi was uncomfortable touching Tea's lips with his own. He wanted to but, being the innocent guy that he is, Yugi couldn't bring himself to do it. Yami, on the other hand, had no idea how to do chest compressions. Instead, he did something that resembles groping Tea's bust. If Tea were conscious, she wouldn't have been too happy with Yami. Yami decided to use the defibrillator. I saw people use it on TV so it couldn't be that difficult. Anyone want to guess how difficult it is to use a defibrillator?

Luckily for Tea, Dr. Suzuki saw what was happening when she passed by and started to treat Tea. The hospital security decided to pay a visit along with Dr. Suzuki. They grabbed Yami and Malik and dragged them away. Yugi sweat dropped when Reika asked why Yami was wearing what he was wearing. She assumed that Yami and Malik were a couple since they were both wearing very feminine clothing. She thought that they looked cute together. They even bicker like an old married couple. "Don't worry about the equipment they broke. We'll just add it to your janitor friend's bill."

Domino Police Station

Ryou was sitting in the holding cell, waiting for someone to bail him out. He noticed that the guys in the holding cell with him are eyeing him. This made Ryou nervous considering all the stories of what happen to people like him in jail. Ryou definitely didn't want to become anyone's property. He was happy to see Yami and Malik walk towards him until he noticed that they were handcuffed. The two of them were thrown in the holding cell with Ryou.

Bakura decided this was the perfect time to appear. "Pharaoh, what the hell are you wearing? You're a cross-dresser! That explains why our leadership sucked when you were in charge. You were too busy raiding the girl's closet! A cross-dressing pharaoh, what people leave out of history books?" Bakura was laughing too hard at his own jokes to realize that the guy behind just bought him. The guy grab Bakura and told him that he was the guy's (dog reference). Yami decided to pipe in at this time. "Bakura, you have a boyfriend! I'll leave you two lovebirds alone. Remember that Bakura likes it rough. Isn't that right tomb robber?"

No one noticed but Malik was pouting. Well, most people didn't noticed. "Hey kid, why are you pouting?" Malik turned around to see a really big guy standing behind him. "Pharaoh there gets all the luck! I want to wear fashionable clothing like he does but my stupid sister won't let me! She's a big meanie!" Everyone within earshot sweat dropped. Everyone started to move away from Malik as he described his perfect outfit.

Kaiba Corp

While everyone was having fun at the hospital, Kaiba and Serenity were still working. It was around nine o' clock when Serenity's cell phone rang. Joey told her the news that he was out of the hospital. Serenity was thrilled to hear that. As she was talking to Joey, he was told that his friends were in jail. Serenity was shocked when Joey relayed the information. Serenity all of a sudden burst into Kaiba's office to tell him the news. His reaction was unexpected. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yami, Malik and Bakura were thrown in jail! Yami was wearing Barbie clothes! Bakura was beating up friendship girl! Malik tried to poison friendship girl! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Serenity didn't know what to do. She had never experience Kaiba laughing before. She asked if he was all right. "I'm perfectly fine, Kitten. This day just keeps getting better and better. All right! We are going to pay the gang a visit in jail."

Kaiba phoned his driver to deliver his car to the front. Even though Kaiba has a limo to drive in, he sometimes like to drive himself around. As Kaiba and Serenity walked out the door, Kaiba's Mercedes stopped in front of them. "Get in Kitty." Serenity cautiously got in the car. She did this for two reasons: 1) She was still fearful of Kaiba and 2) She didn't want the dress was wearing to rip. It was bad that the dress was tight but if it ripped, Kaiba will get unexpected peep show.

Domino Police Station

Eventually, the two arrived at the police station. As they entered, Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Reika, Isis, and Mai greeted them. Yugi and Joey went to the police station when they heard Yami was arrested. Reika went to the police station to press charges. Tristan was following Reika. Isis had a premonition that this would happen and went to laugh at her brother. Mai heard Joey was out of the hospital. She went to find him and when she did, he told her about Yami and Malik. She decided it would be funny to see Yami in a skirt so she tagged along.

The police officers took the group to see their friends.

As they approached the holding cell, the prisoners begged to be released or killed. They had enough of Malik's complaint that he was not allowed to wear women's clothing. The fact that he had designed the perfect outfit for himself and for everyone within the holding cell made the prisoners scared. They were even more scared when Bakura sent his "master" to the shadow realm and Yami mind crushed a guy that was sitting too close to him. The cops refused until they had signed contracts that the prisoners would be role model citizens or else they had to let Malik dress them.

The gang went to see their friends while the cops were busy getting contracts signed. Isis was the first one to arrive at the cell. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Pharaoh, who dressed you, a little girl? Malik, you dolt, how did you get yourself arrest again? Bakura, why are you sitting so closely to the pharaoh?" The entire gang laughed at the three arrested people. They laughed so hard that they were crying. When the cops told them how much bail would cost, they all sweat dropped. Everyone turned to Kaiba. "What? I'm not bailing these losers out. I rather watch the mutt there eat." Serenity begged that Kaiba pay the bail. Everyone should remember that Serenity is still wearing Kaiba's uniform; the extremely tight and revealing uniform. When Serenity begged, she brought her hands together, which exposed a lot of cleavage to Kaiba. Kaiba could help but stare at her. He could feel his head nod as he watched a certain part of her. Serenity took this to mean he agreed and told the cops to let her friends go. Yami and Bakura were freed. Malik was given a job to scare the criminal straight by the cops. He readily agreed. Everyone went to his or her homes except Serenity and Kaiba. He told her that they still have work to do. The two of them went back to Kaiba Corp.

Kaiba Corp

When they returned to Kaiba Corp, they went immediately to work. At eleven o' clock, Kaiba told Serenity that she was free to go. However, Serenity asked how she was going to get home. Kaiba gave her one of his usual kind responses. "You could take the bus. Wait, it stopped running. You can walk. Please, try not to get raped and/or murdered. It would be awful to lose an employee like yourself." Serenity started to weep at Kaiba's coldness. A part of him was felt sorry for her and wanted to help her out. That part took over and Kaiba told her that he would drive her home before he knew what he was doing.

As they were driving towards Serenity and Joey's house, they listened to more Evanescence.

Anywhere

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

CHORUS:
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

Chorus

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

Chorus

Evanescence

Kaiba tried his hardest not to notice Serenity sitting next to him. He wanted so badly to touch her face. It was pale like porcelain in the moonlight. He concentrated everything on the road in front of him so he would have to think about her. Deep down, he knew he liked her. He wanted so badly to run away with her. He wanted her to be with him somewhere where her brother wouldn't interfere. Kaiba mentally slapped himself for thinking of her again.

Serenity noticed that Kaiba occasionally glanced at her. She also noticed that Kaiba was looking at the road as if it was the most important thing around. She wondered what he was thinking at this moment. She knew that she was attracted to him but it would be betrayal on her part to be with him. Her brother would have a fit if he knew how she felt for his enemy. Serenity mentally slapped herself for thinking of him again.

They eventually reached Serenity's home. She said her goodbye to Kaiba when she all of a sudden stopped. Kaiba turned to her as she leaned over and kissed him. He felt her warm lips upon his and he enjoyed it. His tongue flicked across her lower lip as if begging to be allowed in her mouth. She consented. Kaiba's tongue explored her mouth with extreme gentleness. Her tongue decided to do the same in his mouth. After a minute that, Serenity broke away from Kaiba. "Oh my. What did you...what did we...what happened?" She could not believe she just made out with Kaiba. She couldn't look at him. Kaiba grabbed her chin and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

They looked at each other for a few minutes before they began to fumble with their words. Somehow in the jumble of words that left both of them, Serenity invited Kaiba up to her and her brother's place. Kaiba somehow through his jumble of words accepted. They went upstairs to her place together. When they reached the apartment, Serenity opened the door to see Joey and Mai arguing. It appears that Joey was planning on challenging Kaiba to a rematch and Mai didn't approve. Kaiba and Serenity waited outside for twenty minutes before Joey and Mai noticed them.

"Ren! What are you doing bringing the devil up to our home? I have to get this place sanctified now! Kaiba, leave!" Kaiba ignored Joey as he walked in the small apartment. Kaiba could tell it was Joey's apartment by the mess in the room. Kaiba decided to make himself comfortable by sitting on a stool near the kitchen. He listened intently as Joey and Mai continued their fight. Kaiba decided that he would have to end this fight his way. "You two want to solve this problem soon? Why not duel it out using my duel disks? They are in the trunk of my car." Mai agreed with the idea immediately. Joey agreed too as to not look like a coward.

Mai vs. Joey

As both duelists prepared to being dueling in the parking, they failed to notice that Serenity and Kaiba were really close to one another. It wasn't a concern of Mai's and Joey was too preoccupied to notice. They both wanted to win and neither one of them was going to backed down. Mai decided to start the duel. She drew one card after they drew their hands. "I place one card face down and play 'Harpie Lady' (1300/1400) in defense mode."

Joey drew a card. He knew that the face down card could be trouble. "I play Alligator's Sword (1500/1200) in defense. I also play a card faced down." Mai smirked as she drew a card. "I play the magic card 'Array of Revealing Light'. This magic are allows me to forbid a monster type from the duel. I forbid warrior type monsters!" As Joey was processing the information, his monster was sent to the graveyard. "Looks like I get to direct attack you. Harpie Lady, attack!" The harpy flew straight towards Joey as he closed his eyes and guarded his face. Unfortunately, the harpy's attack was much lower. When Joey opened his eyes, he wasn't wearing any pants. "What da hell?"

The score reads: Mai 4000, Mutt 2700. As long as that magic card is on the field, I can't play any warrior cards. Come Joey think! Joey drew a card and it was... Flame Swordsman. "I play two cards face down. I end my turn." Mai drew her next card and it was... Harpie Feather Duster.

" I play Harpie Feather Duster! I then activate Cyber Shield and play Electro-whip. That raises my harpy to 2100/2200. Now my harpy, attack Joey again." The harpy did as it was told and Joey lost his shirt during the attack. He also lost a pound of flesh but it was too dark to notice. The score reads: Mai 4000, Mutt 600. Joey need a good card to protect himself and he drew... Red Eyes Black Dragon! "I play the magic card scapegoat! I sacrifice two of my goats for Red Eyes!" To Mai's horror, the dragon arose from the field. It bellowed out a warning cry to all that was around it. "Red Eyes! Attack Mai's harpy!" Mai watched as the dragon blew fire at her harpy and herself. The harpy was fried and began to smell like fried chicken. Mai looked at herself, blushed and covered herself. The dragon's attack fried the lacing that held Mai's corset together. Joey and Kaiba stared at her. Kaiba only stopped staring when Serenity slapped him.

"What? I was concerned about her welfare. I wasn't staring at her." Serenity gave Kaiba a death glare. Kaiba gave one back. Serenity backed off ten feet. Kaiba smirked then went back to look at Mai. She had somewhat fixed her problem.

"Okay, my turn!" Mai drew a card and her violet eyes blazed. " I play final flame! It hit you with 600 points directly. I win!" As the huge ball of fire approached Joey, he closed his eyes again. When he opened them, everyone was looking at him with wide eyes. Kaiba started to snicker. "Well mutt, I have to say that you suck at this game. By the way, it looks like it a little cold out here." When Kaiba said this, he gestured towards Joey. It appears the fire burnt away all of Joey's clothes. Let's just say that the Serenity saw a different side of her bother that she really didn't want to see.

If Joey could turn any redder than he was at this moment, he would look like a life-sized red plastic doll. Serenity looked away and Mai gasped at how big a boy Joey was. Serenity was unsure what to do. She wanted to run over to her brother to comfort him, but it would be very awkward. She decided to run back to the apartment to get him some clothing. She was a little too late as she watches the police drag Joey to jail. Kaiba and Mai decided that they had enough adventures for one day and headed home before Serenity could ask them to help bail out her brother. Oh no, big brother. I would go to the police station but it's so late. I guess spending one night at the police station wouldn't be too bad. It's not like you are butt naked surrounded by men that haven't had any for a long time now. Hehe. It'll be all right. I hope.
