Nix: Okay guys I'm back! Sorry it took so long for me to get this out. I had a writers block for a few weeks and then I couldn't write for a while and then on top of that holidays, school, and everything else!

Yami: Still doesn't make up for not updating!

Yugi: Looks like you'll be answering the reviewer's review via the actual fan fiction thing-ma-bob.

Nix: Yup…Joyful. My birthday was Friday, December 23 and I'm 15, finally! Oh and Merry Christmas! (Or Happy Holidays…Whatever.) Well I better get started before this gets too long!

Disclaimer: As I've said before: 'I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and probably never will.' So no suing! Especially before the holidays and right now I barely have any Birthday money as it is!

---------------Chapter 13: Buh-Bye part 2---------------

After they had been walking a few minutes, Nichole decided it was time for a confrontation with Tea. Giving a nod and handing the map to Yugi and Yami, she hung back and waited to talk to Tea. Everyone past Nichole, giving her odd looks, but nothing more and continued on. Tea soon approached and stopped walking a moment to compose herself before matching her stride with Nichole's.

"Sooo…Planning anything else that is reckless to kill me and Yugi?" Nichole asked deadly calm.

Tea shivered slightly startled the way Nichole just asked her question, but her pride wouldn't allow her to show her unease. "And what if I am?"

Nichole turned toward her with a glare and started coldly, "Next time you pull anything challenging anyone's or everyone's safety I will definitely maim you if not kill you. If I'm not around to do anything you just better know that anyone around you at that time has the right to do so too. We've had enough of your childish antics and I'm sick of you trying to get to Yami. Will you get it through your stubborn, arrogant head that Yami doesn't like you? Even if you did manage to kill Yugi he'd be heartbroken. He could even possibly kill himself over a death and if he didn't he wouldn't take on another lover for he would probably be afraid of tainting his love he had with Yugi. Just remember that next time you try anything."

As Nichole brushed by her, Tea felt the iciness radiating from her. Again Tea shuddered. Nichole had done all that with a straight face along side a glare, with calmness and coldness as well.

–How'd she do it? How could she be so cold that even I could feel the ice? I suppose that she might have been thinking but I thought she would still be traumatized!-

Nichole stormed back into the lead and only then did the icy wall fall slightly. Yami and Yugi noticed the hate shining in her eyes but didn't comment. Yami handed Nichole back the map and she took it gently but all the same there was forcefulness in her grip. They both gave her questioning looks before looking at each other shrugging. Whatever set her off will run it's course but then she'll tell them about it maybe.

They walked until noon before taking a break. This time it was near a waterfall so if anything it was to get their baring straight. Nichole check the map over three times to make sure her calculations were correct before realizing that they were truly maybe a two to three hours walk from the shore.

"Hey guys if we leave in like 5 minutes we should be able to get to the other side of the island as well as the shore by night fall or earlier." Nichole told them excitedly.

Everybody couldn't help but cheer. Finally they would be able to get off this cursed island and go home to take a nice hot bath, be in new clothes, and the most important part be able to sleep in their own beds! The cheers soon stopped however when a blood curdling scream broke through the air. The group scrambled looking for the cause of it before realizing Tea was missing. Looking around for her they finally spotted her.

Tea screamed in agony. If felt as though she was never going to die fast enough to get rid of this pain. It seared through her body blurring her vision but still she could see the raptor standing in front of her. It looked on with hunger as it got the bit of flesh stuck between it's teeth out. Tea looked up at the blurred figure and wished nothing more than to be dead instead of staring into this creature's eyes.

Nichole looked on with a bit of pity in her eyes but it was almost un-noticeable because it was drowned in such hatred. The others soon approached and looked on with morbid fascination. Was this how it was going to end for such a person as her? Everyone agreed that this was the best punishment.

"Well Tea…This is what you get for trying to ruin such a kawaii pair. You deserve a fair far worse but this will be enough. Sorry it has to end this way but it's your own fault and you brought it upon yourself." Nichole whispered coldly.

Tea looked up sadly. She looked plain pathetic in her stated but it was to late to make amends with the group. Everyone except Nichole, Yugi, Yami, Ryou, and Bakura left as the raptors began their feast. The one that had begun the onslaught continued with it's job of eating her side area as the other began with her legs and arms. Every time they tore at her flesh Tea let out a scream that could wake the dead.

Tea tried struggling within the grasps of the raptors jaws. "Please help me! I didn't mean any of it!"

"Name one reason why you whore!" came the cold response from Bakura.

"Because I'm your friend! Friends don't let friend down or get hurt…And in this case killed!" Tea gurgled/screamed out.

Yugi's eyes suddenly lit up malignantly. Hatred radiating through his beautiful amethyst eyes turning them a deep violet hue. "Hypocrite! You flippin' HYPOCRITE! How DARE you say that we're still friends after all the hell you've put us through! A/N: Nix: oops…Sorry about my French there…I couldn't resist though! You deserve this and much more. If Yami had his puzzle you would have been in the shadow realm much earlier than now!"

Te looked at them with a confused, hurt, pain-filled, an almost 'innocent', look before she took her final breath. The group of raptor ate what was left of her before turning toward the five humans standing and watching them. Slowly they lifted their heads. One raptor then took a step forward as his large toe nail clicked slightly against the ground and let out a screech.

"OH SNAP!" Ryou screamed.

The five then started running towards the waterfall at full speed. They new if something should happen that they would be dead as the raptors were trailing as well as gaining on them.

The others who were sitting waiting for them to return got up to greet them but then noticed how fast the 5 were approaching along with the 8 others following them. The got up and started running too afraid to even look behind them. Soon they reached the actual waterfall and with no where else to run the group wait for any orders. Yami looked clueless so Nichole did the only thing she could thing of…Jump. The gang watched in horror at Nichole's falling figure as she fell into the water below. After a few seconds that felt like eternity though she surfaced to the others delight.

The raptors had now caught up so the rest except Tristan jumped into the raging waters below. Once they had all surfaced the group started shouting for Tristan to jump in. The raptors now stood not even a foot away from Tristan. Tristan looked between the raptors and waterfall trying to decide what to do next. Then coming to the conclusion to jump, he tried, but didn't even get off of the land before the raptors grabbed him by his flailing arms and legs in their awaiting teeth.

"TRISTAN!" Yugi cried out as he heard Tristan's pained screams echo around the waterfall.

Nichole looked up horrified as 'red' water started flowing down along with water. Seto, Mai, Ashley, Mokuba, Taylor, Joey, Nichole, Yugi, Yami, Desi, and Bakura then went to the banks as fast as they could. They all knew that losing Tristan was hardest on Joey and Yugi for they had been great friends for a long time now…Not to mention Yami who had helped in more ways than others for them to even become friends.

Once they were mostly dry and rested the remaining eleven people trudged toward the shore. They hadn't got far before they were once more chased by raptors. The group now sat located up in four large trees. The raptors pace back and forth beneath the tree for a while, watching and waiting for one of them to make the wrong move.

"Nichole…I'm scared. I've decided to never listen to Mokuba again!" Ashley said clinging onto Nichole for dear life.

"Hey!" Mokuba said taken back.

"You didn't let me finish! I was going to say 'I've decided to never listen to Mokuba again when he suggest ideas such as this' and that if I had stayed home maybe this wouldn't have ever happened." Ashley told him sticking out her tongue.

Nichole could only roll her eyes at the couple before looking down at Ashley. "You know I still think you're a nosy little sister but I love you anyways. I promise that we will get out of here safely. Whatever happened before is in the past. So look toward the future for now and dwell on the past later. We will get out of here in one piece I promise you!" Nichole said sharply gazing out into the soon to be setting sun.

The group sat there for what seemed like forever. Most doze on and off hoping for something to either scare off the raptors or lead them away. But nothing did. They just sat there looking up at the teens hardly ever blinking as if they did the teens would disappear.

"Guys…I'm BORED!" Desi yelled frustrated waking Mai.

"Could you keep it down? I haven't gotten a good sleep in forever!" Mai glowered as she laid back down against the tree.

Marik chuckled at the even more flustered face Desi had before embracing her. "I can fix that you know…"

Everyone sweat dropped at the sight of Marik trying to be comical by wiggling his eye brows. Desi couldn't contain the slight giggle with a sweat drop. Taylor meanwhile sat there cracking up and shaking her head.

"Well that was certainly cliché." Taylor mumbled/snickered out.

"Hey! Don't make fun of me! It's not my fault I'm just so dang sexy!" Marik said in all seriousness.

Desi nodded her head. "You got the sexiness down…We just got to get the cliché-ness to a minimum, but we'll improve that later."

"Oy! Could you shut it! Kaiba, Ryou, and finally Mokuba and Ashley are sleeping and to tell you the truth they're really scary and grumpy if you wake 'em up before they're done with their naps. Believe me! I know this from experience." Bakura whispered loudly in warning.

The ones who were awake looked at each other with an 'I don't wanna know how Bakura knows about Kaiba, Ashley, and Mokuba with their naps.' The only way for him to know that was for him to have stalked them 'cause everything was fine when they slept here. They didn't dwell on it long before going to talk quietly amongst each other again.

Night fell yet again for the travelers. Tonight seemed to be exceptionally cold, even for a tropical island. A slight breeze ruffled the hair of the group but to add to the scene was the fact that the raptors were finally gone.

Nichole climbed down the tree first and was careful to make sure there was still a way for her to get up out of harms way quickly. When she was sure nothing was going to attack she went a little farther before giving the signal it was okay for them to climb down from their safe place. They then started a jogging pace heading towards their sanctuary.

"I wonda why dose raptors left! I mean dey coulda eaten us!" Joey whispered to Taylor.

Taylor thought for a second before remembering the nests from earlier. "Well everyone has to go home and see their children sometime or another."

"Hey guys I feel sick…" Mokuba trailed before fainting.

"NO MOKUBA!" Ashley and Kaiba exclaimed simultaneously running towards him.

"He has a high fever. I think something could of sparked up some allergies and gave him a harsh allergic reaction. For now he'll be asleep and when he awakes he'll be very weak for a while." Kaiba told them before hoisting Mokuba on his back with Ashley's help.

"We're going to jog until that hill up there and then we'll sleep and go on from there in the morning…Sound good to you guys?" Nichole asked going forward a ways.

"Hey! I'm suppose to be leader!" Yami grumbled out but stopped with Yugi gave him a look that said 'Don't start 'fore we aren't in the mood right now!'

"Yea…Sure…Umm…Can we stop for a few minutes though?" Marik asked.

"Why? We haven't even left yet." Ashley pointed out.

"Well…Because…When I gotta go pee it's a national emergency!" Marik called over his shoulder as he ran into the brush.

The group heard a bump and then a rustling sound along with a few 'oofs' and an owe before they heard a pleased sigh. The only thing they could thing could make the owe was that he tripped and rolled down a hill.

"What happened Marik? Did you fall in?" Bakura joked when Marik emerged.

"You're just jealous that you couldn't pull this look off even if you tried!" Marik, with leaves and branches in his hair, retorted back.

"And that's why you're formally called a retard." Yami replied for the group who was cracking up.

Desi blushed in embarrassed at her boyfriend's antic before going over and helping him pull the foliage out of his hair. "Hate to break it to ya hun…But they're right. You're very idiotic at time, but I love you anyways."

Everyone laughed at the shocked/indignant look Marik gave Desi. The group then walked on to the top of the hill. Seeing a rather large tree Nichole climbed up to get an estimate how far away the were from the shore.

"Guys I can see the ocean! We shouldn't be but an hour away from the shoreline!" Nichole cried out happily.

Everyone cheered. Finally they were getting somewhere! Then a crunch resounded making everyone scatter up a tree. How come this always happens when they celebrated?

Looking around in the darkness the group couldn't find anything wrong, but then they spotted it. It's eyes gleamed in the small amount of moonlight that shown in that area. It's teeth and nails also gleaming. Nobody could fully identify 'it' but were scared enough not to move or make a sound.

'It' stepped out of the shadows revealing an almost pitch black/deep green T-Rex. Everyone was enchanted by its ferocious beauty. The 'shadow' creature roared before disappearing into the darkness.

"Well that certainly was interesting." Mai stated.

Nichole nodded. "Not only was it an unusual color but it seemed to not even be interested in anything particular…Which is an unusual characteristic. I have always known T-Rex's to be attracted to anything that movement and identifies it as pray but it didn't even try going after us."

"Maybe it was a sign…" Ryou suggested.

"Whatever it was we must forget about it for now. It's time for bed, 'night everyone." Yami told them as he and Yugi went up into their tree.

---Time Lapse---

Yugi sighed comfortably as he lay on Yami's chest. (I can't wait until tomorrow.)

((Nor can I, Koi.))Yami agreed kissing Yugi passionately.

Yugi moaned quietly as Yami deepened the kiss, their tongues dueling for dominance. Yami, of course, came out as victor of the duel. Slowly Yami coaxed Yugi into coming into his mouth. Yugi's tongue then moved to every crevice of Yami's mouth, re-memorizing every area of his lover's mouth in his mind.

They soon broke for air. Each had a thin layer of perspiration making their skin glow slightly in the moonlight. Yami smiled slightly before kissing the tip of Yugi's nose.

(('Night, little one, pleasant dreams.)) Yami said placing a chaste kiss on Yugi's lips.

(Ditto) Yugi replied before cuddling into Yami's embrace falling asleep in no time.

Yami soon followed after making sure everyone was accounted for. Everyone slept, having pleasant dreams filled with the white shorelines and clothing shops of the Bahamas, in which they would hopefully spend a more quiet and relaxing vacation. The next day wouldn't be too difficult…At least they didn't think it would be…
