Nice: Sorry for not updating a horror fic on Halloween. I had… other things to do that day.

Bakura: By "other things" you mean you went trick or treating? How much candy did you get?

Nice: I know I'm too old to go trick or treating, but the thought of free candy is enticing! And I got a butt load of candy! I didn't steal any like some people here!

Bakura: What? The thought of stealing candy is better than going house to house!

N: Whatever. Just do the warning and disclaimer.

Bakura: Fine. This chapter contains a certain someone almost dieing, the Gang discussing what to do, and a bunch of other things! I think you get the point right? And Nice doesn't own any thing other than her OC Mina.

Recap: Serenity barely escapes the Kaiba Mansion but as soon as she escapes, the possessed CEO chases after her in his car. Serenity escapes to Bakura and Ryou's house and tells them what had happened.

Ch. 4: In Hot Water

"I'm telling you Yami, the lockers were opening by themselves! And then there was this bloodcurdling scream echoing in the hallway!" said Yugi rapidly.

"Are you sure you weren't imaging it?" said Yami worriedly, "I mean, a lot has happened lately and you could be stressed and-"

"I wasn't imaging it! It really happened!"

"Stop screaming in my face."

Yugi didn't care that he was yelling at Yami. They had been arguing ever since Yami got back from Kaiba's. Yugi had told him what had happened but it felt like Yami didn't believe him.

"You don't believe me, do you!"

"We need to tell Grandpa. Maybe you need help." (Remember Yami doesn't want anyone to know about what's happening to Kaiba not even Yugi, even though Yugi suspects something's wrong. Oh yeah this whole conversation happened after Yami left the mansion. We'll get back to what happened after Serenity went to Ryou's later. Sorry for the confusion.)

Yugi couldn't believe what he just heard. Anger and betrayal was exploding inside him. "Shut UP!" roared Yugi, as he chucked a pillow at Yami, "Just shut up, you traitor! Don't talk to me, ever again!" He stalked over to his bed and got in it, facing away from Yami.

'I wish I could tell him what's happening,' thought Yami with guilt, 'I tell him sorry tomorrow. Dang, he's got me so worked up I bet I'll be up all night.'

Unknown to Yami, he'll never get the chance to talk to Yugi, ever again.

The next day

Yami awoke to find Yugi already gone. A note he left said that he was helping clean up the lab. Yami sighed and got up. As soon as he did the phone rang.

He picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hey Yami, it's Ryou."

"Hey, Ryou. What's up?"

"Well, last night Serenity came banging on my door looking like crap. She jumped into Bakura's arms and sobbed like someone almost tried to kill her!"

"What!"

"Yeah. She said that she had been baby sitting Kaiba's brother and cousin when Kaiba attacked her! He chased her around the house, but she was able to get out. As soon as she does though, Kaiba tries to kill her with his car, but she got away a came over here. She's still asleep, but call Joey and tell him what happened or tell him to come here. Tell everyone!" And with that, Ryou hung up.

"Man…" said Yami as he dials up everyone.

At the Kaiba Mansion, Kaiba wakes up. He looked around the room.

'How did I get here? One minute I was talking with Wheeler, the next I'm in my bed!' hr thought. He got up completely because he to help clean the lab at school…

"Why is Serenity's stuff still here?" asked Mina, "Did she stay overnight?"

"No, I don't think so. But look at how all of her things are. It seems that she dropped them in a hurry," said Mokuba as he looked at the mess in the living room.

"But, there isn't any sign of her. I mean security would've told us if she was still in the mansion. Mokuba? Are you listening?"

Mokuba wasn't listening. He had walked over to where her bag was near the sofa, he looked at the couch right next to it. In it was a dagger. A million different scenes played out in his head about how that got there. One of theme was that someone had tried to stab Serenity.

"OMG! Is that a-a dagger! What's it doing there? You don't think…." Mina trailed off, not wanting to finish her sentence.

Just then, Mokuba's cell phone rang. "H-hello?"

"You sound like hell, Mokuba."

"Yami? Oh thank god! I need to tell you that something bad has happened!"

"Yeah I know. Kaiba tried to kill Serenity. But she's okay."

"That's good."

"We need you to sneak out of your house and meet us at Ryou's okay?"

"Okay, then. See you later!" Mokuba hung up. "Let's go to Ryou's." and he and Mina rushed out of the mansion.

Later

The whole gang was over Ryou's house and was trying to figure out what to do. They had already established that something was indeed possessing Kaiba, but they didn't know how to get rid of it. Joey almost went ballistic when he found out that Kaiba tried to kill Serenity, but he keep his cool for his frightened little sister.

"Well I'm stumped," said Bakura.

The other nodded in agreement. They had been there for six hours without anyone saying anything.

Yami looked at his watch. "I have to go get Yugi. I'll be right back."

"I'll go with you," said Tea. And both walked to Yami's car.

At the school, Yugi finally had the lab looking like it did before. He stretched. "Well at least I got it looking decent," he said to know one. He walked out of the room. 'I'm so dirty. I know, I'll take a shower in the gym,' he thought. He walked to the gym and into the boy's locker room. He was about to take his clothes off when heard something. "Hello? Is anyone there?" he asked, "I must be hearing things."

Yugi didn't notice the shadowed figure behind him. The figure raised a baseball bat and hit Yugi in the head with it. Yugi fell to the floor, out cold.

Yugi woke up in the Shower room. "Ugh. How did I get here?" he said holding his head. He got up and walked to the shower doors. As soon as he reached them, they slammed closed, locking Yugi inside. "What the?" Then all the shower heads turned on, spewing out scalding hot water.

"Owww!" screamed Yugi in pain. 'How did those things turn on!' he wondered.

Steam rose quickly like a thick hot blanket. Yugi started to choke on the steam. He fell in a steaming hot puddle. The water wouldn't drain; it was over Yugi's ankles. He stumbled to the doors and started to bang on them. "Somebody! Anybody! Help me! I- can't- breathe! I- can't- see!"

The rush of water became a roar. Yugi covered his ears to block it out.

The roar grew louder.

The pain didn't stop.

Yugi danced a dance of pain.

The roar grew even louder.

Then all was silence.

Yami and Tea searched all over the school for Yugi. They were walking to the last place they hadn't searched yet, the gym.

"Where could he be?" asked Tea.

"I don't know. I hope nothing has happened to him," said Yami.

They had entered the gym, but there was no sign of Yugi. They were a bout to leave when they hear a rush of water coming from the locker room. They walked in there and found Yugi's things on the bench.

"Is he taking a shower?" asked Tea.

'Why would he take a shower with his clothes on?" said Yami.

They walked to the showers to find the door closed. The rush of water had become a roar.

"Is one shower making all this noise?" asked Tea.

They went to the doors and pulled on the handle. The doors swung open easily. A tidal wave of hot water came out of the room.

"Whoa!" screamed Yami and Tea.

"Ow! This water is boiling hot!" said Tea.

They entered the shower room. It was hard to see in the steam. Then they saw Yugi. He was lying facedown near the shower heads. Tea gasped at what she saw.

His legs were crumpled beneath him. His naturally spiky hair was down and was spread around his head. His clothes were clinging to him.

Yami ran to him and kneeled in a steamy puddle.

"Yugi?"

He grabbed his hair and lifted him up.

"Yugi?"

Yugi face was red and his mouth was locked in a scream. His ruby eyes were glazed over and fixed in place. They had a look of fear.

"Yugi?"

Yami hugged his hikari tightly, knowing that Yugi may never answer him again.

N: I can't belive I just wrote that1

B: So he's dead right?

N: Well you have to read the next Chapter. R&R!
