"When a new murder starts to be bound;
the same old signs shall be found…"
The brisk knock had been welcomed when the police finally arrived. Before long several dozen uniformed men and woman entered the building with guns and other various equipment.
Several minutes after the raid the one that appeared to be the constable came up to Kaiba and said,
"Seto Kaiba? You the owner of this place?"
"Yes."
"You'll need to book into a motel for the evening, we will be searching the house through out the night."Kaiba nodded.
"what about the rest of us?" Asked Emily.
The police officer turned and looked at the at the others gathered around,
"Oh er. I recommend that you walk back in pairs, and er, don't go out." With that he walked away.
"Jerk." Cursed Joey staring at the man.
"Great lot of use that was…" Said Lizzy.
"Guess its up to me…" Said Sophie taking charge again.
"Right pairs is good, um maybe do it to those that live close to each other…"
"Guess its us two Yug." Said Yami.
"It would be me and Ryou…" Said Bakura sniffling back tears.
"I walk with you dude." Said Sophie.
"Me and Liz will walk together!" Said Emily linking arms with the blonde.
"Joey and Serenity…" Stated Sophie, "Rex and Weevil… Kaiba and Mokuba… Akifa, Marik and Yami Malik."
The group separated into their pairs just as the constable walked back over,
"Mr Kaiba?"
"What?" Growled Kaiba.
"Im placing you under arrest for the suspicion of murders of Mai Valentine, Malik Ishtar, Tea Gardener and Ryou Bakura."
"WHAT?" Called out several people.
"Fuck off!" Said Joey in surprise.
"Me?" Asked Kaiba clutching Mokuba to him.
"Your house, you're the main suspect."
"This is bullshit!! He was with us the whole time!" Shouted Sophie at the mere man.
"Do you want me to arrest all of you?" Asked the man threatingly.
"Dare you??" She retorted with more than anger in her words.
"Sophie. Calm down ill be ok. Make sure Mok gets somewhere to stay." Said Kaiba taking hold off Sophie. She glared at the police officer.
"Ill take him dude…" Said Joey stepping forward.
Kaiba looked to him in surprise,
"Really mutt?"
"If you stop calling me that you wank--"
"OK!" Said Kaiba, "Er… Cheers… Mate…"
Just then Kaiba was took hold off by the police man and another officer. The gang watched gobsmacked ass he was loaded into one of the police cars and driven away.
There was silence for a second,
"So Mok you like pizza?" Asked Joey trying to rise the spirits. Mokuba just looked at him. Then shifted to Serenity's side. She tried to pat him on the head, this time he darted away to Lizzy's side… Who patted him on the head.
"Yeah so anyway… Ready everyone?" Asked Sophie.
Before anyone could reply a woman in uniform walked up to them,
"Excuse me do any of you recognize this?" She pulled out a blood stained black cloak.
Everyone stared at it.
Just then another officer walked over carry a replica of one. Then another officer with the same token. It seemed one had been found at every murder scene.
All looked at it… It looked familiar but didn't seem to ring a bell…
After all replying no to the question they got ready to leave.
"Right everyone got their mobiles on them?" Asked Emily.
"Good thinking Bond… Call if things go wrong ok gang?" Said Yami.
They all walked over to the door,
"Well here goes…" Said Yugi linking arms with Yami. They were the first to walk into the darkness.
Next to leave bravely was Liz and Emily closely followed by Rex and Weevil who lived not far from them both. Then Serenity, Joey and a reluctant Mokuba to leave Sophie and Bakura.
"Ready dude?" She asked looking to him; he had been hit hard by the loss.
"Er… Yeah suppose."
Sophie smiled compassionately.
They left in silence; both thinking about what had happened that night, it all seemed so unreal. Bakura walked almost in a trance as he gazed down at his feet; he was crushed… He was nothing without Ryou. Then it struck him,
"Of course!!!" He shouted, shooting his head and looking at the shocked Sophie.
"Got what??"
"The killer!"
"What?" Said Sophie grabbing his arms, "What do you mean? Do you know who it is??"
"No but… The Ring."
"What the fuck??? The movie??"
"No stupid. The millennium ring."
Sophie played the typical dumb blonde and looked like a goldfish in her confusion.
"Its gone… It would have been at the scene but it wasn't…"
Goldfish moment for Sophie.
"The killer must be after the Millennium items!!"
"What? But Mai, Tea? They don't even have one. Plus Malik wasn't in charge of the Rod tonight…"
"No but they must of got in the way or something."
Sophie thought for a moment; she supposed it could be true,
"We'll have to see what the police say…"
"Hmm… Suppose. Hey what's all that about the black cloak thing?" Asked Bakura carrying on walking.
"I don't know, all I really care about at the moment is getting back safely…" Said Sophie looking ahead.
"There is a shortcut…" Pointed out Bakura thinking to himself.
"Oh I don't know…"
"It'll cut our journey time in half… Wanna go for it?"
"Um… Where is it?" Asked Sophie not liking the idea much.
"… ER through the woods…" Mumbled Bakura.
"WHAT??"
"Go on Sophie, look I want to get back quickly too and we're both fast runners… We'll be fine."
"Well… If we run, I suppose we would be ok… Fine… But you better not play any tricks on me Bakura I mean it!"
"Brownies promise!" He said raising his hand mockingly.
"Yeah you a brownie…"
Yami and Yugi walked in silence down the pathway; neither knew what to say to the other that might bring an ounce of comfort.
Lizzy and Emily walked side by side in silent mourning, not far behind them was Rex and Weevil who seemed to be whispering something between themselves.
Joey, Serenity and Mokuba all walked down past the dead houses; non spoke a word but all thought softly to themselves.
Akifa, Marik and Yami Malik all walked through the deserted park; they had been the last to leave. The all talked about the death's, they all seemed intrigued by the manner of them…
