Chapter Two

Anything for you


The group turned towards the darkness from, which the scream was heard.

"Tell me you guys heard that," Tea whispered.

Joey nodded his head.

"I gonna go check it out," Yami said, "And Yugi's coming with me."

Yugi's eyes widened when he said this.

"Wait...why me," Yugi squeaked.

Yami just gave him one of those, because it's-the-right-thing-to-do look. Yugi only deeply sighed saying, "Ok."

Tristan suddenly yelled, "Don't worry Ryou, Yugi's coming for you!"

Ryou suddenly cleared his throat causing Joey, Yugi, Yami, Tea, Tristan, and Seto to turn and see him standing beside Bakura waving. He had a cheerful face, while Bakura only rolled his eyes.

"You're okay!" Tristan said.

"Of course he's ok, you fool. Why wouldn't he be, it's not his fault that you didn't notice him," Bakura snapped.

"Getting a little defensive there, aren't you Mr. Tomb raider," Tristan oohed.

Bakura only glared saying, "Wait till I get you alone, and that's when I shall get my revenge."

"There's no time for that," Yugi blurted out, "Someone's in danger. And we're only standing here...wasting time."

Yami said, "I agree with Yugi completely." And the two ran from the light into the darkness towards the screams.

"I'm comin' wit ya, Yug," Joey shouted while running after them.


"I just can't stand here and let something happen to my dearest friends, I know they would help me if I were in potential danger-," Tea began.

But suddenly Ryou said, "Not to be rude Tea, but I'm not really in the mood for one of you're speeches right now...to tell you the truth I can't stand them."

Bakura only chuckled under his breath, and the two suddenly ran off in the direction that Yugi, Joey and Yami had ran.

Tea suddenly squeaked, "Don't leave, I want to help to." So she ran off after them.


Tristan turned and glanced over at Seto and said, while rocking back and forth, "So Kaiba...how's Mokuba?"

"Fine," Seto whispered cautiously, thinking, I don't have to tell him about my family business...but my brother's well being isn't something to be ashamed of.

"The company's going good I suppose," Tristan added.

Seto only nodded kind of feeling a bit uncomfortable being left alone with Tristan.

"Ishizu a good kisser," Tristan asked only to get punched by Seto.

Tristan fell to the ground saying, "Why you hit so hard...so let me guess, the taller they are, the harder they fall?"

"No the stupider they are, the harder they- why am I even talking to you," Seto scoffed.

"Because you secretly want to be my best friend," Tristan guessed.

"Are you coming on to me," Seto asked, with a scared tone in his voice.

"Is that fear I hear," Tristan said while standing up from the hard ground, brushing himself off. "Is the great Seto Kaiba...afraid?"

Seto only glared, then started laughing, saying, "Me...afraid, I'm never afraid, later loser."

Seto started walking off into the direction, that everyone else had gone.


Yugi was shouting, "Any one out there, are you alright?"

"Please Identify yourself," Yami yelled.

"Yeah...so we can find ya," Joey added.

Tea suddenly ran up, bumping into Joey. Causing her to fall to the ground.

"Ow...I didn't realize how much that would hurt," Tea mumbled under her breath.

"Tea, you Ok," Yugi asked.

"Yeah," Tea said, as she took Yugi and Yami's extended hands, helping her up to her feet.

"Tea, what made you decide to come?" Joey asked.

"I ran afterRyou and his Yami, and," Tea's voice sort of trailed off as she looked around. "Didn't you guys see them," Tea asked.

The three only shook their heads.

"Hey look who decided ta show up," Joey laughed pointing at Seto walking up to them.

"Nope, not evenda darkness can hide your fat head," Joey joked under his breath.

Tea heard this and started laughing, Yami held in his laughter.

Yugi suddenly said, "Stop it, you wouldn't like it if I joked about your fa-," Yugi suddenly stopped himself.

"Whatever, I came to help you find the person, or whatever," Seto supposed.

"Didn't want to stay with Tristan?" Tea flatly asked.

Seto only nodded saying, "Yeah...I feared he would try to follow me home."

Yugi only replied, "Why would he do that?"

Joey looked at Yugi saying, "Rememberda time when Tristan followed you home, an' neva wanted ta leave."

"Good point," Yugi laughed.

"We need to continue looking," Yami stated.

"Right," they all said, well everyone but Kaiba.


Bakura and Ryou were walking in between the warehouses, Yami Bakura humming to himself.

"So why aren't we with the group, if I may ask," Ryou asked, slightly annoyed of the fact that he was humming.

"Because, I don't want to be controlled...and if I'm with that group then the pharaoh or Yugi is going to try to take comand over everyone," Bakura explained as he picked up a rock, and threw it into the shadows.

"Sure is foggy," Ryou said while looking around, when suddenly something whizzed through the air, and hit Bakura square in the forehead. This caused him to drop to the ground, landing on his back, holding his head.Ryou knelt down and saw a dice lying beside his fallen yami. He picked it up saying,

"This lookes familar, where have I heard of such a lame attack strategy anyway?"

"I don't know," Bakura said, as he sat up, still rubbing his forehead.

"Are you alright?" Ryou asked, as he turned to him.

"I believe so," Bakura winced.

The two suddenly turned to see Duke Develin walking up to them laughing. "Why isn't this a cute sight."

Suddenly he snatched the dice from Bakura's hand, placing it back in his pocket.

"Was it you screaming?" Ryou asked.

"Screaming? No, it wasn't me...but I heard it, I came over here to check it out," Duke simply said.

Suddenly the scream sounded again, this time louder.

"Somebody help me," the voice yelled.

"That soundes like-," Duke started, but was suddenly silenced by Tristan karate chopping him.

"Thank God, it wasn't me this time," Bakura muttered.

Duke fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Tristan...what were you thinking?" Ryou asked.

"That's for trying to pry your filthy hands in between me and my precious Serenity," Tristan said, with his foot placed upon Duke's back.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Bakura suddenly blurted out.

"As if you don't know," Tristan slyly said.

"You're mental," Ryou said, as he and his yami helped up Duke.


Yami, Yugi, Seto, Joey and Tea ran to the railing of the pier, where they heard the scream come from. The five looked over the edge, when Yugi suddenly yelled,

"Who's down there?"

There was silence. Tea covered her mouth with her hands, fearing the worst.

Joey glanced over at Yugi saying, "I'll go check it out for you, ok Yug?"

Yugi nodded,

Yami only replied, "I think this is dangerous."

"Duh," Yugi said.

"That's why I should go," Yami suggested.

"No, I should go," Tristan said from behind them, "Because you all know you would be no where without me."

"Oh brother," Seto said.

"Wow, you think of me as you're brother, I'm flattered. Because of that I'm going to start calling you by your real name Kaiba. And Yugi, I'm now leader so step aside," Tristan laughed.

"No," Tea said,

but then Yugi hushed her and whispered in her ear,

"If he goes, then there's a chance he won't come back."

Yugi turned to Tristan saying, "Go for it Tristan, we believe in you."

"Not," Bakura muttered, as he andRyou carried Duke towards them.

Suddenly the voice yelled again, however this time they could tell who it was.

"Mai," Joey gasped.

Joey jumped over board into the water, Tristan following behind them. Seto only glanced over the edge.


Down in the water Joey was swimming about, shouting, "Mai...Mai, where are ya?"

Tristan wasn't to far from him, saying, "Ok...all I have to do is find Mai first, and I'll be a hero, I'll be number one."

Joey suddenly saw an empty boat, out in the distance. So he started swimming towards the boat. Thunder was sounding, as the two of them swam out farther out into the ocean, which was started to become enraged. The waves started getting bigger, smashing into the two of them.

"Joey...you Ok, buddy," Tristan yelled over the storm.

"My name's not Buddy, and it's not incrediboy either, it's Joey," Joey yelled in response.

((author: Please don't get mad at me, I couldn't resist. I saw "the incredibles"...and I just had to put that in...sorry.))

Joey kept submerging below the water, gasping for air everytime he came up. Mai, I'd do anything for you...I just pray you're alive, Joey thought.
