Bye Bye. ON THE BOTTOM I HAVE FEATURED THE VOTES AS THEY STAND... VOTE NOW OR YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER MAY NOT SURVIVE THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Disclaimer: me no own Yu-gi-oh ..... sad isn't it .

Chapter4: Puppy

"Why hasn't Serenity called yet it isn't like her ta stay out this late" Joey pondered while pacing back and forth. "I'm getting to old for this .... but then again .... she is just a few years younger than me, I guess I should let her have her fun" Joey sighed as collapsed on the couch . He reached under the couch to find the remote and with a flick of his wrist turned on the TV.

"This Katsumi Kyugo with the Domino evening news. Pure pandemonium, the only words to describe the present state of our fair city. Two high school girls have been found been found murdered , one in her very own home . The two girls have been identified" . Joey tilted his head upward in curiosity. "A Anzu Mazaki and a Serenity Wheeler." "SERENITY!" . "Ms. wheeler was found in the ladies bathroom of Domino city mall. A police report has confirmed that Ms..wheeler bled to death. Her tongue was supposedly ripped right out of her mouth .while Ms.Mazaki had all the skin removed from her body........ w-wait I'm getting something two other bodies have been identified. It's seem our murderer has killed both of Ms.Mazaki's parents. We warn civilians to stay indoors until further notice". Joey turned off the television. "Why.... why ... WHY! SERENITY THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING YOU CAN'T BE DEAD" Joey wailed sobbing into his hands.Serenity .... they're lying you're not dead..... you can't be... . A/n: Joey doesn't seem to care much about Anzu huh. "Serenity...." he mumbled in between sobs. "Joey! Please let me in, Joey are you there?!" a frail and haggard voice screamed from the other side of the door. who could it be? Joey wondered. Joey sprinted towards the door and looked through the small glass hole in the door. A exasperated Ryou stood trembling at his apartment door . Joey unlatched every lock at record speed and flung the door open. Ryou stood there eyes stained with fresh tears. "J-Joey c-can I come in" Ryou asked wearily.

Wearing his usual white sweater and blue jeans Ryou stepped into Joeys apartment. Ryou sat on Joey's sofa . "Ryou, what's wrong ..... did someone hurt you" Joey asked kindly. "Joey I-I'm so sorry ........" Ryou whispered as he began to tremble. "Sorry about what Ryou ?" Joey asked putting a caring hand on his friend's shoulder. "Y-your sister ....." . "How .... did you know ........ Ryou did you see the asshole who killed Serenity"Joey asked sternly. Ryou stared at his feet letting his ivory mane cover his face.

"Ryou answer me ... who is it... TELL ME !" Joey yelled as he grabbed Ryou by the shoulders so he could look at Ryou directly. "I'm sorry Joey I saw him .... but I didn't realize .... that it was Serenity ...." Ryou whispered as he removed Joey's hands from his shoulders. Joey was on the verge of another session of sobbing, but he stopped. Ryou's hands or to be more specific his nails. I-Is that b-blood .... wait .... no ....oh God Joey shot up off the couch and stumbled backward. "Why Joey what's wrong you look like you've just seen ghost" Ryou said voice filled with concern. "No ... n- not a ghost just the freak who killed my sister!" Joey shouted. Ryou raised an eyebrow in question, he then looked at his hands. "Oh just my luck, I changed my clothes but I forgot to wash my hands ..... what would mother say if she saw me now" Ryou said as he silently scolded himself.

"well dear Joseph as they say in those ridiculous Horror movies you no to much .... It's not that much of a setback I planned to kill when I first came here so no harm done" Ryou stated with a smile. "No way! ... There is no way you're going to kill me without a fight" said Joey as raised his fists and charged at Ryou .will they ever learn.... Ryou's eyes flashed a luminous light blue. Ryou caught Joey's fist and twisted his arm behind his back at a extreme angle. Ryou twisted his arm until he heard the desired sickening crack.

Joey screamed in pain. "shhh little puppy wouldn't want to wake the dead would we" Ryou whispered into Joey's ear. "You know Joseph I used to have a dog just like you ... boy he was an insolent brute..... and then father told me to discipline the dog .... and so I did however the poor thing didn't survive our first session .... you seem to be in good physical condition so why don't I try my techniques on you my little puppy .... doesn't that sound fun" Ryou said happily his luminous blue eyes shining more than ever. Ryou threw Joey to the floor and gave him a kick to the rib cage. Joey spit out a little stream of blood. "Now my little puppy lets begin .... hmm if I remember correctly that little handbook said that if a dog disobeys you, all you need to do is give him a little pat on the nose. You're a bit bigger than my old dog so .... why don't I substitute my hand for this little baby here.." said Ryou as he reached into his pocket and pulled a small knife.

Ryou grabbed Joey by his blonde locks . Joeys eyes filled with terror as he saw Ryou's eyes sparkling as bright as the sharp blade in front of him. "now hold still.". Ryou positioned the blade between his eyes and he dragged the blade down slowly slicing his nose blood began flowing rapidly as the blade went further. Joey's pain filled screams filled the small apartment. this is getting quite annoying. This damned nose just won't come off this is the last time use this piece of stone to do anything. "Oh forget it!" Ryou yelled in frustration.

Ryou removed the blade and got a firm grip on Joey's nose. Joey who's voice had been lost for the amount of screaming he had done when Ryou had made the first incision. Ryou with a sickening rip tore his nose right off his face. Blinding pain filled Joey , his eyes rolled back and with one last scream he was silent. Ryou tossed the nose away and pressed his ear against Joey's chest and heard a faint beating. "Bad dog!" Ryou scolded as he found the useless knife. "I do hate going back on my word .... but I guess for presentation .. This will do" Ryou raised the Knife above his head. And with one powerful thrust brought the dagger down on the spot where Joey's nose use to be.

A loud crack and fountain like spurt of blood was all . Ryou pressed his head against his chest staining his white hair in his blood. Nothing could be heard. "Good dog".
