Marcella Jole' Mercilee: Oh, I'm sorry, but as my job as evil author who leaves all her readers in suspense, I can't quite have Joey find Serenity and Yugi yet. I mean, what would be the fun of that:p Anyways, thanks for the review, and enjoy.

cheeky-eyes: It's only cause he's short, we all love Yugi in reality. We just like torturing him in all of our fics. We can't help it. Well, we'll just have to see what happens to Yugi next. Thanks for the review.

frogger666: Wow, we have a lot of Yugi lovers in the building. I'm sorry to be putting all of you guys through this, but don't worry, it always ends up a happy ending. Or does it? evil grin

AmePiper: Oh, I never fully replied to your last review; Serenity's alright, but she's kind of a dumb ass at times. My fav. is Mokuba too. What's not to like, anyway? That is so true, Mokuba doesn't get enough credit for all the crap he has to go through. It makes me sad Yes, brother fluff is my life. But I'm pretty sure everyone can already tell by all my one-shots, so on and so forth. But anyways, enough of me rambling, let's get on to the fic. And thanks for all the support buddy!

Chapter 5

It was a bright July morning, the street was steaming, but the wind brought along a cool and light breeze. The boys were amazed at where they had found themselves as they walked through Domino city. "Wow… I didn't even know houses got that big!"

"They aren't houses, they're buildings! Haven't you guys ever seen a city?" Joey asked, looking over at them. Mokuba shook his head. Joey shrugged, "Well, then maybe this'll be more exciting for you."

"Hey! Since when have YOU been to a city?" Tea asked, pointing her finger at him. "Since I was born. They found me here after my parents abandoned me. I'll have you know I lived on my own in this city after they abandoned me" Joey said proudly. "Oh, well then I don't suppose you know where the heck we are, and how you suppose we'll find that guy who took Yugi" Tristan said, crossing his arms.

"Who cares about Yugi? Let's go back." Seto said. "No way, we didn't travel all the way here just to go back. Plus, what'll we go back too?"

"You guys are stupid" Tristan said, "I'm going back."

"You're the stupid one!" Joey yelled. Tristan turned to leave when he ran into someone. "Ow!" There was a little girl standing in front of him him, around his own age, but a bit younger. She had 2 big ponytails tied on top of her head, and she held a brown teddy bear to her chest. "Watch where you're going!"

"Sorry…" Tristan said in shame, "I didn't see you." Rebecca sighed. "It's alright."

"What's your name?" Tea asked, stepping beside Tristan. "My name's Rebecca. Who are you?"

"I'm Tea, and these are my friends Joey and Tristan."

"I'm Seto, and this is my little brother Mokuba."

"Nice to meet you" Rebecca said politely shaking all of their hands. "Rebecca… Rebecca, what's taking you so long?" a man walked up beside her then looked down upon the 5 small children. "Grandpa, these are my friends!"

"Why, hello there little ones" the man said kindly, straightening his glasses. He turned around, "Solomon, look who Rebecca met." Another man, a lot shorter though, walked beside him. "Look at all these youngsters" Solomon said. He looked around to see if any other adults were near by, then looked back down at them. "Where are your parents?" he asked.

"We don't have any parents." Tristan said. "We're from an orphanage," Tea stated. "Oh… I see… well, why exactly are you here and not in the orphanage?" The taller man asked dumbly. "Cause we ran away" Tristan stated. "Yeah, cause our friend got taken from a bad guy. We're going to find him." Joey said proudly, as if he was a super hero of some sort. The tall man laughed again. "Such cute kids, wonder why they didn't get adopted."

"Oh, don't laugh." Solomon said, "We were all kids once." Joey's stomach growled. "Oh man… I practically forgot how hungry I was." He said, putting his hands on his stomach. "You can have lunch with us!" Rebecca piped, turning to her grandfather, "Grandpa, can they have lunch with us?"

"Sure, I don't see the harm in that."

"Yay!" She said, grabbing a hold of Joey's arm, "I'll introduce you to Teddy! He's my best friend in the whole wide world!" She exclaimed holding out her stuffed animal as they followed Solomon and Grandpa (A/N: I forget his real name in the series . ) into a gaming store.

"Sure clean up, well" Grandpa said, looking around at the place, "It feels like I haven't been here in ages."

"It's because you haven't been here in ages. You barely visit anymore," Solomon said, leading Grandpa and the children into the back, where it turned into the house part of the building. "Traveling from America to Japan isn't exactly the cheapest, you're lucky I still visit you at all!"

"Well, you're not exactly the poorest person around. You're a big shot professor, and I just run a game shop."

"Hey, hey, hey, you were a professor too once! You're the one who gave it up in the first place." Solomon shrugged and shook his head; he opened the refrigerator and looked around.

"So you guys walked all the way from there?" Joey nodded proudly. "Why? Why did you run away?" Rebecca asked, getting drawn into the story of their adventure. "Cause we had to save our friend, of course!"

"But they only came along cause we asked them too" Tristan said, pointing at Seto and Mokuba. "WHAT! You never asked us, we came on our own!" Seto replied, "If Mokuba hadn't run off, we would've never come anyway!"

"Children, children, please! Quiet down, Solomon and I are trying to have a conversation."

"Sorry Grandpa," she turned her attention back to the others, "So you guys really walked here by yourselves? No grown-ups?"

"No grown-ups. Just us against the world. It was a bit scary when the evil bad guy came after us, but I just fought him and he-"

"That's not true" Tea said, hitting him over the head, "None of that ever happened!"

"Here kids, lunch." Solomon set 6 plates on the table. They all had sandwiches on them. "I didn't know what you guys liked so I-" before he could finish, the 5 orphans had already started digging into the food like savages. "My. I guess they never taught you manners in that orphanage." The children ignored his statement, they were too busy eating food.

"So how old are all of you." Joey gulped down his food. "Um… well, most of us are 11."

"But I'm 12." Tristan stated, his mouth full of food. "Me too." Seto replied, "And Tea's 10."

"I see." Grandpa said. He looked over at Mokuba. "And you?" Mokuba looked up at him, than held out 5 fingers. "5 years old?" Mokuba nodded. "My God… you're practically a baby! What on earth were you children thinking."

"Mokuba wanted to come" Seto said, "It's the only reason why we're here. He ran off after Joey and the others and I couldn't let him go off on his own." Grandpa turned to Mokuba, "Is that true?" Mokuba merely nodded as he nibbled on his bits of sandwich. "Does he know how to talk?"

"Yeah, but he only talks to me though."

"Why is that?"

"He's too scared to talk to anyone else. Like you said, he's just a little kid." Seto patted Mokuba on the head.

"Pretty dangerous for a bunch of kids going off by themselves" Solomon added. "We don't care," Joey said, "We're just doing this to find our friend. When we do, we'll go back."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"Sure it is. We get Yugi and go back to the orphanage."

"But Joey… they left without us, remember?" Tristan said, "They were loading the other orphans in while YOU ran off."

"Hey! You came too!"

"Only cause you were the one who ran off!"

"Yeah Joey! It's all your fault! Now we'll never have a home because of you!"

"Yeah Joey!"

"Guys, come on…"

"It's not my fault!"

"Yes it is!"

"Guys…"

"No it isn't!"

"We'll never see our friends again because of you and we'll be orphans forever!"

"No we won't!"

"SHUT UP!" Seto yelled. Mokuba was crying. "You guys are making him cry!" Joey wanted to say something really mean to Mokuba, and had even opened his mouth to say it, but instead shut his mouth silently and said nothing.

"How bout you all play outside?" Solomon suggested, breaking the silence. "That's a great idea!" Rebecca exclaimed, "Come on!" She grabbed Joey by the arm. "Well, ok. Let's go guys." They all followed after Rebecca. Solomon tugged Mokuba back. Seto stopped and turned around. "I think it's time for this one to take a nap."

"He doesn't need a nap. He's not a baby."

"The reason why he's so emotional is because he doesn't get enough sleep. I'll just put him to bed and you can play outside. Ok?" Seto looked at him with unease, then at Mokuba. "He'll be fine. Don't you trust me?" Seto stared at him for a long time. He had never trusted ANYONE with his brother. Only Sister Rosette because he knew her intentions were good. But he didn't know this man, and Seto was not a person to trust someone easily. But somehow he found himself to saying "Fine" and walking off to the others.

"Nii-sama" Mokuba said quietly, his eyes began to well up again. "Ssssshhh. It's alright. Your brother is just going off to play. Your gonna take a good long nap." He scooped Mokuba into his arms and brought him over to the couch and set him down, grabbing an old quilt and putting it over him. "Now go to sleep and I'll wake you up later."

Mokuba lay there on the couch. He could feel uneasiness in his stomach. He was in a stranger's house without his Nii-sama. He began to feel great sadness and thought he was about to cry when suddenly, he felt his eyelids beginning to become heavier, and his body drifting off into a deep sleep.

Another chapter for… this story. Yeah, I'm really tired, so I can't exactly be enthusiastic about anything at the moment(wow, I spelt enthusiastic right) Anywayz, so we see they have stumbled upon a couple of city people. But can they exactly trust these people whom they don't even know? Or is this just an incredibly kind person whom just happened to let them into their own home? As they take a break from their city adventure, time is of the essence, and Yugi's still out there.

REVIEW!
