"DEMONS!"
"Demons, yes, they exist."
Joey seemed too shocked to comprehend. He had only heard of demons when…well, never, really. It never occurred to him that Seto had basement full of fantasy, or he never would've agreed to it in the first place. He never would've stayed there…..and now he was stuck in some place called Feudal Japan? That's something you only learn about in History class! What was he doing here?
Hey wait. Doesn't being stuck in the past mean that…..You can change it, too? This is bad. Really bad. You can manipulate time, but it can manipulate you, too! And if time were to disappear……..well…everyone's a gonner, then! I have to get outta here, Joey thought. I have to get home. Before I get eaten!
Meanwhile----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mokuba had decided to contact Yugi and the others, which meant he had to go home, and apologize to Seto. Besides, he was hungry, and cold from being outside all night with only a jacket. Seto was probably worried, hurt, and confused all at the same time. What kind of brother would he be if he didn't straighten things out with his only living family member?
I'll sneak in the house, instead, he thought. Why should I apologize if I didn't make the mistake? Mokuba found himself getting angry again. He found himself hating his brother once more. He found himself making decisions without thinking…….again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you sent him to see how he would fare against a demon?"
"That's the plan." Kaede replied to Kagome. "He lives, then he was meant to be here. If he doesn't, then he wasn't meant to be here. That is why he didn't live."
Everyone looked at each other.

"IS THIS THEIR IDEA OF A SAFE ROUTE TO THE RIVER!"
Joeys legs were about to give in. He'd been running for a good half hour from these moth demons who were trying to put him on the menu! Finally, he tripped over, and fell flat on his face. When he turned over, he saw the acid—drooling mouth of the moth demon.
"Ew, ew, ew, you're too close for comfort, man." Joey used all fours to push away the moth. When he got to his feet, he kept running, and found the strength to pull a branch off the tree. He turned to attack. "EAT THIS!"
Somehow, he managed to knock it unconscious, by slamming the branch right into its head.
"One down," he said, barely breathing, and then he looked around. "Now about nineteen more to go……"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mokuba decided not to go home, but to wait for Joey instead. However, he may already be too late……
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Roland, you've been pacing nonstop."
The maid was right. Roland hadn't been able to stop worrying about the Kaiba brothers ever since he watched one run out right after the other. No matter how grown up they each acted, one was eighteen, and the other was only twelve. Compared to Roland, they were both still kids.
"Roland-san, please….. at least sit for a few minutes." The maid urged. Roland said he would not sit until the two brothers came home. He wouldn't ever say it to Seto how much he worries sometimes.
"Roland-san…."
He sent the maid away. Roland was in no mood to have his buttons pushed by some young girl. He did sit down, however.
They're okay, he thought. They're just fine.

"I guess he wasn't meant to be here," Inuyasha mumbled.
"The guy's not coming back, I guess…."Sango said. "I guess he didn't make it……" she looked away.
"Hey, you guy's, there he is!" Shippo exclaimed.
Sure enough, there was Joey Wheeler, bloody and beaten, but he had defeated the moths. The uniform he had on was ripped and torn, and blood was dripping everywhere. He limped towards the hut, with the branch over his shoulder, his hair a messy disaster, and overall bathed in dirt.
"I think this boy belongs here;" Kaede said. "With some training, and a new weapon, he could turn out to be an exceptionally good fighter."
"That means he could turnout to be an exceptionally good opponet too, right old hag?" Inuyasha said with a smirk on his face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is the conclusion of chapter five, people.
Just a little rehash, the Kaiba brothers are missing, and Joey just won his first battle. It's official, there will be yaoi, but don't worry, you'll barely notice it.
Lastly, thanks again for all the nice reviews, and (you're probably sick of me saying this) flames are still welcome. See you next chapter.
