My shortest chapter yet...ugh I wish I had made it longer...but it's okay because the next chapter will be much much longer. I'm just glad my beta still likes this story. She looks over these chapters so quikcly it's not even funny xD

Anyways, I want to thank all of my lovely reveiwers! The feedback you give keeps my motivation up!

I do not and never will own Yu-Gi-Oh

Yugi, who had now taken control, was running as fast as he could. The black tunnel seemed endless and had no exit in sight. It seemed hopeless to keep going. Feeling a bit out of breath, the amethyst-eyed teen stopped, bent over in fatigue.

"Does this tunnel ever end?" he asked out loud.

~/It might, but only if Noah wants it to. /~ Yami said, appearing beside his aibou in spirit form. ~/You mustn't forget Yugi; he's controlling everything around us. /~

The tri-haired hikari sighed before his eyes glinted with determination. "He can try and stop us all he wants but nothing is going to stop us from finding our friends!" he said before he made his way to start running again.

~/Wait aibou, where did Marik go? /~

Yugi looked behind him and frowned when he saw that the tanned yami was indeed not behind them. "I'm not sure. He followed us on the way in so he must be…"

SMASH!

The amethyst-eyed teen squeaked in surprise and scrambled back a few feet as the black and white wall suddenly broke open and a certain blonde psycho flew through the hole.

"Marik, what are you doing? Where were you?"

The lilac-eyed yami brushed himself off casually. "While you and Mr. I'm-Always-Right decided to walk off and leave me, I chose to follow a different path."

Yami, who had appeared in spirit form next to his hikari, smirked smugly and crossed his arms. ~/And how is that working out for you? /~

Marik glared at the ex-pharaoh. "Watch it Shorty, at least I had the brains to follow a different path, not the one this little brat wants us to go on."

The former monarch opened his mouth to retort but closed it. Marik was right; they were going on the path that Noah wanted them to…but where else were they supposed to go?

Yugi sighed in aggravation. "Well, we're not going to get anywhere just standing here. Let's go and see where this tunnel leads us." He said before he began running. Both of the yamis exchanged one glance before the younger one shrugged and ran after the tri-haired hikari. Yami sighed before he followed his traveling companions.

"By the love of Ra, your little brat sure can run fast." The lilac-eyed immortal said. The older yami glared at him before once again running ahead.

It took a few minutes of continuous running but soon, the three of them found themselves surrounded by four doors, each of them glowing with a powerful bright light.

The tri-haired hikari stared at all four of them for a few minutes before speaking. "Which door to we chose? If we don't pick one we're stuck here…" he said, wandering awfully close to one of the doors.

~/Don't touch it! We have to test all these doors for traps first. /~ Yami said sharply, facing the door that Yugi was about to go into.

The amethyst-eyed hikari blinked before he reached into his pocket and took out a loose coin. Flicking it at the open door, he watched as the light twisted into the face of a monster and spit the coin right back out at it's owner.

"Testing doors is definitely a good idea." Yugi said, a little embarrassed at how quickly he was ready to jump into that opening.

~/We may have won our duel, but a whole new game is just right around the corner./~ the former king said gravely, staring hard at the open door.

Marik tilted his head to the side in thought. "What if this is just another trap made by that little brat and we're stuck here?"

Yami sighed. ~/Noah wouldn't make it that easy. He wants to torment us so that we're forced to give up. Trapping us would do him no good. /~

"It's so cold…I can't take much longer…"

Yugi's eyes widened. "Tea! Where are you Tea? Tell me, quick!"

"I-It's so c-cold…"

Determination once again flared up in his large amethyst eyes. "We have to figure out which part of this world she's in and find her!"

The ex-pharaoh narrowed his eyes. ~/Noah is letting us hear her just to torture us. What a cruel trick…/~

"Then we have to break out of here and find her!" Yugi cried out and ran towards the door again, obviously forgetting what was behind it. This proved to be a mistake for as soon as he came in contact with it, the light threw him back and he landed with a thud. His yami was immediately by his side, holding his shoulder comfortingly.

"Well, that was helpful, wasn't it?" Marik said teasingly, kneeling down next to the ex-pharaoh and his hikari.

~/Don't panic Yugi, that's just what Noah wants us to do. /~ Yami said gently, ignoring the younger yami next to him.

"But what about Tea?"

The tanner yami snorted before standing up. "If you were smart, you would have looked at the top of that blasted entrance."

~/Marik's right. What do you see carved over that door? /~

Yugi looked up and was surprised he didn't see it before. One lone star was carved over that particular door. "A star? Wait a second…of course! In Duel Monsters a star represents a monster's overall strength!"

The former king nodded. ~/Right, so behind that door is probably a one-star monster. /~

Marik growled. "Let me handle this one, pharaoh." He said, his duel disk activating as he said it. Drawing one card, he took one look at it before placing it down on his duel disk. "I summon Lekunga!" he said. At once, a green monster that had one huge eye and numerous tentacles appeared in front of him. "Attack whatever is behind that door!"

Marik's monster obeyed it's master and instantly shot off towards the door. A huge snake-like monster with only 300 attack points came out, snarling at Lekunga. However, the monster was not intimidated and a few of it's tentacles shot out and squeezed the snake, snapping it right in half.

~/Well done Marik. Now we can go in. /~ the ex-pharaoh said.

The younger yami smirked proudly before placing the card back in his deck, his monster disappearing from sight.

"Fine. Let's go now and maybe it will be the way out of here."

Yugi sighed. "Or maybe, it will lead us to Tea." He said before shaking off his yami's half-embrace and running off through the door. He was so quick to leave that he didn't notice the looked on annoyance on Marik's face or the flash of hurt that passed through Yami's eyes.

However, the tanned yami noticed it.

"What's wrong with you?"

The former king looked at his enemy before sighing, his eyes downcast. ~/It's…nothing. Nothing that's important./~ He said the last part quietly and made his way to follow his aibou when Marik quickly stood in front of him, blocking his exit.

~/Marik…/~

"Shut up pharaoh. Why don't you just tell him how you feel and wipe that sulking look off your face?"

Yami flushed hotly. How in the world did Marik know? ~/M-Marik…what…how did you know that…? /~

The younger immortal rolled his lilac eyes. "Oh come on pharaoh. It's so obvious to see the look you give him when his back is turned or how hurt you just looked when he couldn't stop talking about that bitch."

The former king bit his lip. If it was so obvious that Marik had figured it out…then did Yugi know?

"And don't worry, you won't have to worry about that slut anymore."

That caught Yami's attention rather quickly.

~/Wait…what are you talking about Marik? /~

The psychotic yami flashed him a wicked grin. "Oh, you'll see...very soon." He said darkly before running after the ex-pharaoh's hikari. Yami stared at him in confusion before he followed, not really sure what to make of his enemy's subtle threat.

After running down another tunnel, he soon met up with his hikari and the tanner yami but…it looked like they were right where they started. ~/It doesn't look like we're getting anywhere…/~ he muttered partially to himself.

"P-Please help me…my legs are so n-numb…"

"We're coming Tea!" Yugi shouted, hoping that his friend could hear him, wherever she was at. Marik narrowed his eyes, getting quite irritated at the short light's obliviousness towards the ex-pharaoh's feelings.

However, he reminded himself that he couldn't care less and continued to look around. He growled angrily as the feeling of helplessness quickly began to creep up on him.

"We've got to get out of here now!" the hikari's voice sounded again, sounding a little more desperate now.

~/Yugi, look on the floor…/~ the former king said grimly. Both the hikari and the younger dark looked down at the floor and Yugi's eyes widened when he saw the same coin he had thrown at the door not too long ago.

"Does this mean we've been running around in circles?" Marik growled out, glaring hard at the coin before giving in a hard kick, causing it to go flying off to the other end of the room.

"I'm afraid so…" the amethyst-eyed light said softly.

'Then, how are we supposed to get out of here?' Yami thought to himself.

None of them had an answer for that.
