Lizzy stood up from tying her shoe lace just from the door of the bathroom; she thought she had heard someone exit it. Looking and seeing no one she continued to walked around the rectangle.
Sophie ran around the corridor to the final one to see just rounding the corridor; Marik,
"Hey Marik wait up!!" She called out.
He spun round to wait for her with a look of worry on his face.
Just as she reached him Lizzy came up from behind and they all joined,
"What's all the commotion. And where's Tea??" Asked Sophie suspiciously; looking around.
"Well… There was an accident…" He said looking at the floor and avoiding the two's gazes.
"What accident Marik??" Asked Sophie more sternly, "Does this have something to do with Tea??" "I didn't see her as I looked round…" Chipped in Lizzy.
Sophie continued to glare at Marik,
"Tell me what you did… NOW!" Marik jumped,
"Ok… Ok… But first of all… Im sorry." "Why don't I like the sounds of this…" Said Lizzy slightly worried.
"Well it started when she keep bothering me about Akifa being the murderer… So she asked who it could have been…" "Ah Marik what did you tell her? You know she's gullible." She Sophie shaking her head.
"Well I kinda told her… That I was the killer…" He said still not looking up.
There was silence for a minute; until the two girls almost burst into tears with laughter,
"You. The murderer??" Laughed Lizzy.
"Er… Yeah… What's so funny?" He asked finally looking.
"Nothing. Nothing." Said Sophie trying not to smirk, "Look we should probably tell the others immediately… Who's the closest??" "Well Bakura and Ryou." Said Lizzy forgetting about the two in Mokuba's room.
"Right well lets be off…" Said Sophie walking back down the corridor with the two next to her,
"I still cant believe you Marik. I specifically told you not to play jokes!! You deliberately broke the rules." Said Sophie shooting him an angry look.
Marik said nothing as they reached the guest room door.
Lizzy entered while the two waited outside.
"She's probably hiding in some cloakroom closest crying like a two year old now Marik." Said Sophie not looking to him. Lizzy rejoined them,
"There's no one in there; they must have finished and started looking downstairs." The three walked down the stairs and began to search for those two first,
"Why are we telling these first??" Asked Marik.
"Because Bakura seems to usually have good idea's when it comes to finding people." Said Sophie looking straight ahead.
"Only because he used to play hide and seek a lot." Sniggered Lizzy.
"Used to?? He still plays it with Ryou!" Laughed Sophie.
They turned the corner and saw Bakura leaning against a wall looking at his feet and whistling "innocently''. He looked up when he heard them coming,
"Yo dudes what's up." "Marik's stupidity." Snarled Sophie still angry.
"What did he do this time??" Asked Bakura already suspicious; looking at Marik who's head was hung low. "Someone thought it would be funny to play a joke on Tea!!" Said Lizzy snapping her head round to look at Marik who still conveniently looked down at his feet.
"I was wondering Bakura could I talk with you??" Asked Sophie.
"Yup!" Said Bakura walking away with Sophie; she turned back and called to the other two,
"You two go and inform the others. I want every down stairs in 5 minutes; were not going to find anyone now…" Lizzy called back,
"Ill go upstairs and tell Yami and Yugi and ill meet up with Marik in a minute!" She said shoving Marik the opposite way to her as she began to walk upstairs.
Sophie walked with Bakura down a corridor where no one could see or hear them,
"Why are we going down here?" Asked Bakura turning to look at Sophie.
"I didn't want anyone hearing in case they started to freak out about Tea being missing." "Freak out? Wont they be happy?" Asked Bakura sniggering.
Sophie clipped him round the back of the head,
"Look stop it and just listen. We need everyone to stick together and the most powerful to look for her." "Tuh. She's always such an inconvenience!" He said folding his arms across his chest in mock annoyance.
"So what's your plan then??" Asked Bakura after a moments silence.
"Well we need to stop anyone from being on their own…"
Ryou began to wash his hands in the small bathroom sink. He hummed as he did; he never did notice danger, he was barely even scared; but maybe that was because he knew Bakura waited just outside for him.
He heard footsteps along the corridor,
"Bakura? What are you doing?"
More footsteps.
Ryou reached to the lock on the door and pulled on its slowly. He was just about to pull the door open when he hears a dripping. He turned and saw he has left the tap on and the toilet unflushed. He walked over to the toilet and pulled the chain. The noise of flowing water covered the noise of an opening door.
He turned to turn of the tap; but instead of seeing an empty bathroom he came face to face with a cloaked figure.
He was about scream but was grabbed by the strong figure.
His head was smashed into the still running tap; instantly he became unconscious. The killer held his head down into the filling sink. Silly Ryou. Why does he always leave the plug in? Head left in the deadly waters Ryou was left as the killer walked out with once again being undiscovered.
Why did no one pay attention to the rules? You really should scream why you have the chance to. But its too late now…
