This chapter is really short...I know, but it gets better. Honestly, I don't know how long this fic will be, I want everything to play itself out. Does that make sense, probably not, I usually don't. j/k

Moses-the-little-gurl: I love how you always review, you are such a positive reviewer! Thanks so much!

intricate simplicity: Thanks, I'm glad you thought the duel was okay. I was also more interested in the actual storyline of Yu-Gi-Oh than the dueling. I'm still learning what the cards do and how they work and everything. I love reading and writing (and watching) suspense, so I'm glad you think it's suspenseful!

Cymoril Avalon: Thanks so much, you really helped me. Yeah, I didn't really think of the girl's line being kinky, but now that you pointed it out...I can see it. I'm just guessing at Yugi's fears, but honestly I wouldn't want to know his real fears, I probably wouldn't be able to handle them. I've always seen Tristan's name spelled with the e but I like it with the a better, so I will change that...as soon as I can. I am glad that I'm making it more readable. Now it's my turn to ask a stupid question, but where do I get a beta reader...I really don't know...I know it's probably a really stupid question, but I figure if I don't know then I should ask, anyway I hope I improve with each chapter, it's my goal.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh...I do own my evil card though...hahahahalooks at people staring at me ummm...runs away

By now the sun was covered by clouds and time was running out. Joey and Yugi were challenged by a few minor duelists, each battle was another victory. Each battle was short and uneventful.

"Yug, I wonder what dat girl wanted?" Joey asked. He was still curious about the mysterious girl.

"I don't know, the duel was really short. It's like she just wanted to show me the card." Yugi said.

"It seemed like it. Maybe she was the only one." Tristen added.

"I dunno, she said something about a distraction." Yugi sighed. He had to figure this out, for everyones sake. He couldn't risk having any of his friends being sent to the shadow realm just because he feared it.

"Yugi!" Tea yelled. Yugi looked at her, and saw why she yelled. His game shop was broken into. The window was busted and pieces of it laid all over the sidewalk.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Yugi cried. He searched the house, there was nothing there.

"Yugi, look at this!" Joey yelled. He was holding a piece of paper. Yugi quickly grabbed it. It said:

I will take what you have

You already took what I wanted

You took my chance...

I will get my revenge

Until our first meeting

goodbye

"This does not look good. He must of kidnaped my grandpa!" Yugi cried. Tears were running down his face.

"Yugi, how do you know it's not a girl, look at the writing!" Tea pointed out. The writing did look like a woman's writing.

"I guess were used to the evil guy being a guy." Joey replied. Yugi nodded. He couldn't think of any women who would want to get revenge on him.

"Well let's see, ummm, Rebecca...you never go out with her and maybe Mai." Tea suggested. If looks could kill than Tea would be dead.

"Mai's not even here, I haven't see her. I doubt it's Rebecca, she's crazy about Yugi!" Joey yelled. Tea looked down at the ground.

"But Mai brought Serenity over here, because of some reason, I don't know why! Anyway she ran off before we came to the Game Shop. She has always wanted to beat you, and she has given into evil before." Tea argued.

"What? I didn't know she was here. I still don't think it's her. Trust me Yug." Joey yelled back. He had a feeling it wasn't her and he would bet his life on it.

"Serenity didn't tell you? I thought she would?" Tea asked. She was starting to feel really bad.

"No, she didn't." Joey fumed.

"It is weird that she didn't come find us, it's kinda like last time. Remember she saved us from those weird bikers, then she tried to take Joey's soul." Tristan told them. Joey's fist was raised to Tristan's head.

"I believe Joey, hey where are the others?" Yugi asked. He wanted to stop this argument, so many other things were going on. He didn't need the group bickering. Joey stopped, he was starting to feel sick.

Rebecca, Prof.,Bakura, and Serenity were gone.

"Oh man, we gotta find them!" Joey screamed. He didn't want to be in Yugi's game shop anymore. Now his sister was missing, and it was all too much.

"Let's split up!" Tristan commanded.

"Yeah, me and Joey will go alone. Tristan, you can go with Tea." Yugi said.

"Right!" The others said in unison. They all put their hands together, Tea wanted to remind them of their friendship circle.

"We can defeat this person. Remember guys, nothing can wreck our friendship!" Tea reminded them. They all ran out of the house. Yugi went one way while Tristan and Tea went off in another direction.

'I have to find Serenity. If something happens to her, I don't know what I will do.' Joey thought. He ran off, he didn't know where he was going. Joey just believed that he would arrive at the right place. He ran faster and faster. He passed many buildings, but he didn't care. This tournament was exactly what Joey didn't want to happen. Joey didn't notice that he ran right into Kaiba.

"Watch where you are going mutt." Kaiba smirked.

"Hey, get outta my way. I gotta find my sista and my friends!" Joey yelled. He pushed Kaiba out of the way, and Kaiba was shocked. He was amazed that during every tournament the geeks spent half of the time chasing each other. Kaiba had also felt that something bad was going to happen, but he ignored the feeling. He continued to look for Yugi to duel him.

'I must beat Yugi. If I don't I will never reclaim my title. I wonder, where is Mokuba?' Kaiba thought. He went to go search for Mokuba, he'd find Yugi later.

Joey must of ran at least 3 miles in under 20 minutes. He bent over and placed his hands on his knees. His breaths were getting shorter and his chest was burning. He threw up behind a garbage can, this whole thing made him sick. Whoever this evil person was, they would get it.

"Noooo...you can't do that..." a women screamed. Acting upon instinct, Joey ran towards the sound. Yugi had heard the scream too, in fact he was near Joey. He was yelling at Joey, telling him to stop. Joey ignored this and ran. Yugi followed, but lost him.

Joey ran through the dark alleys. It was like a maze and he was the rat. Joey didn't care, he needed to find his sister, and if he had to mindlessly follow screaming to do it, he would. He arrived at his destination. For one of the rare occasions of his life, Joey Wheeler was completely speechless.

Okay guys, I'm out...hope you liked it...I know it's a cliffhanger, well at least I think it is.
