"I don't get it. Why would Kaiba kill himself?" asked Serenity, as they explained this to the others. They all met at the Kaiba mansion.

"And, if Kaiba is dead, then who did I send to jail?" asked Duke. He had joined them, after getting a call on his cell phone from Tea.

"Aparently, nobody," said Tristen. He turned up the TV.

"According to police authorities, The mysterious Shadowman has escaped once again. It was reported last night, that former CEO Seto Kaiba committed suicide, by slicing his neck. This means, that the murderer who we arrested the previous day was not Seto Kaiba, and who the real Shadowman is remains a mystery to us all. The escape was reported when an officer found two guards dead in the Shadowman's cell, and Seto asleep in his jailbed. However, with further examination, the men found a ruby ring on the floor, that apparently creates holograms, for when the officer accidentally stepped on it, the Seto in his bed faded. We will be investigating on how he escaped. In other news..."

"Hologram? But, I touched him!" said Duke.

"Sounds like something Seto was trying to invent, doesn't it?" said Tea. Everyone thought about this.

"But, if Seto didn't do it, then, who's using his technology?" asked Mokuba.

"Well, we'll find out sooner or later," said Yugi.

Mai sat on a nearby bench. It was late at night, and rain was pouring hard. She cried. She didn't know what to do. She felt so lost.

'Go on with our lives, and lose those things behind.'

Mai looked into the darkness. Suddenly, she saw something. A dark figure was walking up the street in front of her. He didn't seem to notice her. She got up, and followed him. She was right behind him, when she said, "Where are you going?" He didn't answer her. Anger rose inside of Mai, and she yelled, "You killed the one person I loved, and I demand to know who you are!"

The figure stopped. He spoke in a familiar voice. "I think you might be mistaken." Mai's eyes widened, and before she could stop herself, she pulled down the hood of the stranger. He turned around, a pale face, brown eyes and wild blonde hair, staring back at her. Mai gasped, and fell backward on the ground, shocked. She did not believe what her eyes were seeing.

'Wrapped around in lies, we stand there voiceless.'

Joey bent down, and grabbed Mai's hand. His hand was cold. "Don't always believe what you see at first, Mai."

"So, it's really you, Wheeler?"

"The one and only." Joey pulled Mai to her feet, and she hugged him tight.

"I missed you so much! Without you, my life has been so worthless."

'We want to leave our lives, until we find a way.'

Joey ran his fingers in her hair, grinning. "I know a way that we can always be there for each other, Mai." Joey's eyes shone white for a second. Mai looked up at him, giving him a trancelike stare.

"Really?"

"Really. But, you have to trust me, ok?"

"Anything to be with you, Joey." Joey took Mai's hand. They continued walking up the street, Mai staring at Joey. This was the happiest day of her life. Joey led her into a nearby alley, where another figure was wating at the end.

"Who's that?" asked Mai.

"A friend," said Joey. All Mai could make out were shining, purple eyes in the dark. When they got to the end of the alley, the man spoke.

"You found one," he said. He was holding something sharp and bloody, a stake, only there was something shining gold at the top.

"Yes. She's ready to go," said Joey. He faced Mai. His eyes looked a little sad. He whispered, "Don't worry, Mai. I promise that you'll be with me when this is all over. I need you to close your eyes, and think of your favorite duel monster, ok?"

Mai nodded, and did what she was told. The man handed Joey the stake. "You know what to do," he said. Joey raised it, aiming at her chest.

'Searching for the light, for eternity.'

Joey sent the stake through her heart. It glowed white hot, and Mai screamed in terror, as pain rushed through every cell in her body. It felt like somebody had pinched every nerve in her body at once, then bathed her in battery acid. And then, it was gone. Mai's lifeless body landed on the ground, blood gushing from her eyes, mouth, and fingertips. Joey withdrew the stake. It stopped glowing, and the wound in Mai's chest disappeared.

Joey's eyes glowed white. "I warned her." He handed the man the stake. They both laughed, and disappeared.
