Last Time:
Joey shot his head up as the vicious laugh echo throughout the room, bouncing off the walls. The voice was no doubt familiar.
Suddenly Joey was flung back hitting the opposite wall, making more drywall fall on top of him startling him he wasn't at all expecting this
Regaining his composer, Joey looked up to his rival...Bakura stood overtop of Ryou's conscious form as his eyes glowed blood red a wicked smirk clearly planted on his lips.
"And what do I owe this visit?" Bakura asked amused
"Bakura, I'm taking you down one way or another" Joey growled standing up once again
"humph and how do you suppose you will accomplish this?"
"By him" Joey pointed to Ryou as Bakura smirk darkened
"I'll tell you what, if you can get passed me then you have my premission to do whatever you want with him" Bakura smirked
"What makes you think that I would agree to that?"
"Because if you want to live then you'll fight" Bakura hovered above the floor as Joey got into a battle position...and this is a battle that will in fact get bloody.

Sinister Combat
The sleek limo came to a steady stop in front of the Turtle game shop. The chaffer quickly got out of the drivers door making his way to the back, opening it to let Yugi out. Stepping out, as Yugi flung his luggage over his shoulder, his eyes where empty, emotionless, deep in thought.
Tears threatened to fall, but he held them back, last time he saw his best friend he was wishing him a safe trip and promised to be there when he got back, but that was not the case now. Stretching open leg out of the limo he got out, the whole trip was quiet not even Yami had talked to him and he felt alone.
"Yugi?"
Twisting his head backwards to the owner of the voice. There Duke sat in the limo looking at him worried. Yugi didn't reply as he waited to see what Duke wanted.
"Just...try and get some sleep" Yugi stared at him emotionless as if his request was impossible,
"Please...Joey wouldn't want you to worry about him...so do yourself this one favor and rest"
With a low sigh Yugi shook his head in agreement, he knew that Joey would be very disappointed if anyone would worry sick for him; he was always the one to lighten the mood.
"Ok" Yugi whispered as Duke nodded before the chaffer shut the limo door before crawling into the drivers seat again.
Yugi watched as the limo drove off, he just stood there thinking over Dukes words, he was wrong he couldn't just forget about Joey and live life like he never existed, he couldn't forget about him if it wasn't for Joey then he would have no friends except for Tea and although he didn't mind her he needed guy friends as well.
Pulling out his keys he walked up to the shop, opening the door and entering. Placing his shoes to the side along with his coat to there proper places, he wondered on many other things, like his grandpa, Duke's words, and of course Joey. Wondering up stairs have awake, he trudged slowly one step after another. Duke was right, he needed sleep, his body ached for it and he knew he would last much longer.
Peering into the small living room he saw his grandpa asleep on the couch. Yugi guessed he fell asleep waiting for him. A small smile appeared as he grabbed a blanket from the tiny closet in the hallway.
Covering up his old grandfather just like he use to do for Yugi when he was scared of the dark. He would wrap him in a warm blanket and cuddle him until he finally fell asleep with no worries.
A yawn escaped Yugi's throat as he made he way to his room. Upon entering his eyes fell upon Yami who sat on his bed, a transparent figure that didn't even disturb the sheets and by the looks on his face he was deeply worried about his light.
"Yugi are you going to be ok?" Yami asked softly not wanting to upset Yugi anymore then he already was.
"I don't know Yami...it's just so much to handle right now" Yugi replied as equally quiet. Another yawn departed his lips as he moved towards the window, taking off the millennium puzzle that had felt like a million pounds to his tired figure.
"Abiou, we'll get through this, Joey risked his life to somehow save us, and now we must find the one that did this to him and bring him to justice" Yami stated firmly, Yugi nodded before Yami slowly faded away, leaving Yugi to himself.
Getting into his Pj, Yugi's eyes started to form small blue circles around them. Walking to the bathroom he washed his tired face not even wanting to look up into the mirror. Yugi then quickly brushed his teeth before heading back to his room.
Crawling into the soft bed, Yugi settled in but yet couldn't fall asleep his mind kept going back to Joey and his last conversation, that was the last time Yugi saw him before he left, sure he knew he had bad experiences with his father but it could not have been his father that killed him since his father was also found murdered.
Suddenly a flash of red startled Yugi from his thoughts, as he looked towards the window into his backyard. Getting out of bed Yugi went towards the window to see what that light was.
Looking out into his backyard, all he saw was the back ally, it was creepy making goosebumps appear on his arms...then that flash of red again...it came from the oak tree that stood at the far corner of the Motou yard.
Yugi squinted his eyes to look closely at it, but sudden fear of the unknown consumed him as the red suddenly disappeared from vision.
Where did it go? Yugi wondered as his eyes moved to every corner of the yard.
"Yami?" Yugi whispered, as he started to turn around to ask his Yami of what he thought of this light, but on turning around Yugi hit someone's chest.
Fear engulfed him as he looked up into crimson orbs,
"K-Kaiba?" Yugi asked fearful and confused, his eyes were dead, lifeless, nothing but hate shone through them.
A sneer came across Kaiba's lips before taking hold of Yugi's small arms clamping them so tight it could stop the circulation in his veins. Suddenly Kaiba thrusted the both of them towards the window shattering glass all across the room as they fell from the window into the cold night. A bloody curdling shriek was heard from Yugi as he yelled.
"YAMI!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joey stood his ground as Bakura circled around him in a predatory way, waiting for the perfect time to strike. This battle would be heated, each had a mixture of hate and amusement.
"You are a fool for coming here" Bakura growled, seriousness in his voice shattered the awkward silence
"Dat's what you tink" Joey growled equally back, his hand constricted in fists to his side, anger pulsing through him...the only thing that was in him.
"That's what I know...do you seriously believe that you can defeat me when you can't even defeat Kaiba himself" Bakura smirked
"I don't care about Kaiba, he's on his own, to hell wit 'im I hate 'im and will always hate 'im" Joey growled
"I can already sense that, but then again...you have no clue of what your getting yourself into and there is no escape"
"I don't plan on run like a scared puppy dog" Joey seethed, if he had blood he would be drawing it from the fact that his fingernails were dug deep into his skin.
Bakura smirked evilly, he wanted a good battle, he hardly got one now that everyone feared the Vampire King. Joey's eyes landed back on Ryou, he was still out...must of scared him to death...Joey mentally laughed, but he realized that he needed to get to him before Bakura got to Joey himself.
"Still after my poor excuse of a light are you?" Bakura asked amusement, a glare was shot his way as Joey focused back on him...oh he ever hated that mind reading ability.
"Does Kaiba even know your here?" Bakura asked as Joey growled dangerously low,
"Of course he doesn't...he's to busy with your sister" Bakura laughed
"What do ya mean?" Joey asked, he had to hold himself back from jumping Bakura right there and then.
"What do you think it means?" Bakura asked a smirk plastered on his pale face, he wanted to see how far he could push Joey's buttons.
"Why ya bastard!" Joey yelled which only received a laugh from Bakura, "Take dat back...ya know nothin' take it back or else..." Joey yelled
"What will you do? fight me?...Please...but if you must, let's make this interesting" holding the palm of his hand out and crimson cloud formed bringing forth a long ancient sword. "Let's fight with some fun little toys" Bakura grinned sinisterly, as a blue cloud appeared before Joey as a similar sword was shown to him.
With all hate and anger, Joey grabbed the sword forcefully before pointing it accusingly at Bakura, "I'll play ya sick game for now, but it will all end da same"
"Indeed" Bakura agreed, bringing the sword towards his face as one half was covered while the other shone with crimson fury.
With a cry of enmity Joey shot forth towards Bakura, sword ready to attack with all the strength he had.
Both swords clashed together in a iron grip, both vampires looked each other in the eyes as their swords battled for domiance of strength. Joey gritted his teeth as he tried to maintain his hold on his sword as Bakura looked like he wasn't even trying...this is bad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Landing hard on the grass, Yugi was instantly winded. He groaned in pain as it shot through his back. A sinister laugh entered his mind as he immediately shot up into a sitting position.
Kaiba stood there looking down at little Yugi, his black trench coat blew wildly in the harsh wind as his eyes were a darkest crimson.
"K-Kaiba? I-I thought you were dead" Yugi stuttered as he slowly back up, trying to get to his feet. Kaiba didn't reply as he watched with amusement of the fear covering Yugi. He sensed no Yami, which means Yugi didn't have his puzzle anywhere around him.
After making to his, Yugi backed further away something was wrong...well duh...his eyes are glowing. A wicked smirk showed Kaiba's pearly white fangs in the moon light, instantly Yugi lost his voice as he cry a silent scream.
"Run little " Kaiba growled..yup he's cracked...he's gone nuts.
Yugi didn't need to be told twice as he took off down the alley way, trying in all hopes to escape whatever Kaiba was.
Yami?
Yugi tried to call out to his Yami, but all he got was silence...damn he shouldn't have taken off his puzzle.
His small legs carried him as face as they could down the dark street. He was afraid of the dark...ever since childhood he had been, but now he didn't care he just needed to get away from that thing...Kaiba.
He hated alleyways they were nothing but trouble, they were mazes that anyone could easily get lost such as himself since right now...he was lost he didn't know where to go. Looking behind him he saw that he wasn't been followed...which was never good.
Coming to a stop Yugi looked frantically around trying to find any trace of Kaiba, right to left he scanned the area. Questions flooded his mind...Where did Kaiba go?...What was he?...Why does he want me?...How can he be alive?...all these questions were suddenly pushed out of his mind as Yugi went flying back to the ground as Kaiba landed on the ground from out of no where.
Yugi painfully got to his knees, looking up into Kaiba's lifeless eyes,
The ally screamed with anticipation for the fighting rivals, facing one another off.
"This is it Yugi I've won against you, I am superior to all and you will only know this as you draw your last breath"
Yugi could only look on in shock as Kaiba came towards him with hate and anger within his eyes, he prayed that this blow will be fast and painless.

ZeldaJewel: Yeah I know another cliff, but next chapter will be god to, trust me. As we can see, this is the start of two fights: 1) Bakura and Joey and 2) Kaiba and Yugi.
The next few chapters will deal on these fights, but there is still many other conflicts to go, so don't worry the story will NOT end yet
Please review!!!
OH MY GOODNESS, I found a song that reminds me of Kaiba in a small way, want to see it...here you go...
I am a Rock
by Simon and Garfunkel
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
I's laughter and it's loving I disclaim
I am a rock I am an island
Don't talk of love
But I've hurt the words before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings
that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island
I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
safe within my womb
I touch no one
and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And
an island never cries
