For days they worked meticulously in the garage. Only leaving to get supplies before locking themselves up again. Yugi's mother blinking slowly as she tried to comprehend why several of her spices had gone missing. When she purchased more, they'd gone missing a second time. Then she asked Yugi, what they were doing in the garage, and told them they were gonna get it if they were making bombs again. She was met with the response that they were doing a project for science class for school, and the promise that he would replace the spices once he was finished. Though she rather doubted he'd actually replace the spices, she took this excuse. Atleast for the moment. Knowing his study skills, she could not take him seriously. But with Yusei living with them, perhaps he was developing good study habits. So she left it alone, while keeping a wary eye on the door of the garage.

Using scales to measure out the ingredients, Yami passed them to Yugi who mixed them together as instructed, while Yusei put them in containers he'd made and sealed them. Each set was marked with a different color to indicate what type it was. "Mom is soooo going to kill us if she finds out we've been using her spices to make homemade bombs again." Yugi mixed some more ingredients.

"We'll just buy her some more from our allowance." Yami kept measuring. "Are you sure this is going to work, is seems childish to me."

"Childish things tend to be very useful." Yusei closed up another homemade bomb. "Ever see the three ninjas movie? We're essentially doing the same thing. Only our bombs have a little more...pep to them." he smirked.

"I'll say. It's taking all i've got not to rub at my eyes." Yugi remarked.

"Don't worry, all this work will make it worth it." Yusei finished another one. "And at the same time, you're learning a valuable skill."

"If you call making bombs a valubable skill that is." Yugi sweated a little.

"In our case it's necessity." Yami muttered. Sneezing with a turn of his head as he'd been working with pepper.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"You lost them?!" came nothing less than utter rage from the man at his desk. "You bumbling idiots! How do you lose three kids who were locked up in a high secure room!?"

"Well sir, we were kinda strapping down the shorter one of the three, and..."

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY EXCUSES!" he slammed his fist against his desk. "I WANT RESULTS! GET OUT THERE AND GET THEM BACK! OR I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS ON A PLATTER!" he watched as they fled for their lives from his office. "Now things will have to be delayed because of those morons. I could have the world in my hands with the power they possess. And they had to go and let them escape. Morons. I'm surrounded by morons." he growled.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"I feel stupid." Yami stated as he held the box of homemade bombs in his arms. Yusei had had them wear masks to cover their identities, while he was setting up some strange contraption above the window to their room.

"Do you want people to know who it was that put these on the roof?" Yusei asked as he was using his screwdriver. It was past midnight. So it meant they had to be as quiet as possible unless they wanted to wake up Yugi's parents and grandfather.

"I think people are gonna wonder more if we're breaking in than what we're putting above the window." Yami replied.

"Well, there are worse things than looking like failure criminals." Yugi held the toolbox up for Yusei to grab what he needed. "People could call the police, or something."

"I doubt that." Yami sighed. Mask or not, it was obvious who they actually were. Their hairstyles were a dead give away in that aspect. "I wonder if the neighbors think we have strange hobbies." he pondered.

"Yami, I'm pretty sure the neighbors already think we have strange hobbies." Yugi replied. Once a neighbor had asked him if he collected dolls. Offering to give him one as a gift. He politely declined for two reasons. One, he did not collect dolls. Two, it was so creepy, he was sure it'd give him nightmares just looking at it. He shuddered at the memory.

"Alright, hand me the bombs Yami." Yusei finished doing whatever it was he was doing.

"What is that thing?" Yami looked at it with curiosity. It didn't seem very special or anything. Practically a board where Yusei was placing the bombs on with a part that looked like if it was pulled they bombs would fall down.

"See that string down there?" Yusei pointed. "If someone triggers it it'll make the bombs fall from here onto their heads. With all the sneezing they'd be doing, it'll alert us that someone was trying to get into our room."

"Awww, it's so...simplistic." he pouted with great disappointment. He was hoping for something a little more hightech. Not something from his time on a smaller scale.

"Simplicity tends to do the trick in such situations." Yusei finished setting the bombs.

"What about if it rains?" Yugi asked.

"Don't worry. I made their casing out of a light plastic. Unless it hits the ground, or someone. They won't be affected." he climbed down and slipped into the room through the window while pulling off his mask.

"That's good to know." Yugi smiled as he climbed in.

"Indeed. But I still think it was kinda stupid for us to wear masks." Yami retorted as he came in last. Still feeling silly that he ended up wearing it in the first place.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

After a few days, shadows deep in the night started creeping through the backyard of the Turtle Game Shop. Climbing the walls and headed to the top floor where a lone window stood alone. Without realizing, they set off the trap that had been waiting. Causing the bombs to fall on their head and explode, causing a cloud of white which caused them to sneeze.

Yugi poked his head out his window. "I can't believe that worked."

"Me neither. I wasn't expecting it to work so well." Yusei looked over him.

"Ahh..Joey!" Yami looked worried. Making the other two realize their would be intruder, was not so, intrusive.

"Joey, what are you doing here?" Yugi asked as he sweated a little.

"I come here to check on you and this is the thanks I...I...I..!" Joey sneezed. "...get." he wiped at his nose.

"Sorry Joey." Yugi helped him into his room. "Why didn't you try the front door?"

"Well I was feeling rather concern..." he sneezed a few times and rubbed at his eyes. "..concerned. So I thought I'd do a little nightly check to make sure you were okay." he took the towel Yami offered him, and wiped at his face. Joey's eyes grew wide for a moment as he lowered the towel. The Pharaoh, and Yugi were standing side by side. Rubbing at his eyes again. He now only saw Yugi. "What was in that stuff? I could swear I was seeing you and the Pharaoh standing by one another."

"It must of been your imagination." Yugi sweated. Yami in his spirit form as he averted his gaze with his arms crossed and whistling. Yusei smiled, as he could clearly see the Pharaoh's actions.

"So who's this guy?" Joey finally got the remnants of the bomb off his face. He still sounded stuffed up as though he had a cold.

"Umm...this is my cousin Yusei from Tokyo." Yugi sweated. "He's staying with us for a while."

"Wow a real Tokyoite!" he became excited as he looked Yusei over. "How's it feel living in such a place?"

"Umm...very city like...I guess." Yusei sweatdropped.

"Wooow." Joey's eyes practically sparkled. "If we ever go there, you've gotta show us around there buddy! I bet you know all the best places."

"Uhhh..." Yusei blinked. "...Suuurre." he didn't know what to say. Perhaps choosing Tokyo wasn't the smartest place to pick as his origin.

"Hey you guys got anything to eat? I'm starved." Joey's stomach grumbled.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Yusei's eyes were wide as he watched Joey continue to fill his stomach with the pile of food that laid before him. Now he could understand what Yami had meant when he said Joey portion. He was entirely sure even horses and cows ate much less in a single meal. Combined. Atleast Joey was polite enough not to steal from their plates. That much he was grateful for. "Are you even tasting the food?" he pondered.

"Yes. And it's all very delicious! You're a very good cook Yusei!" Joey continued to eat his fill.

"Thank you." he smiled. Atleast nothing would go to waste. That was the plus to Joey's seemingly bottomless pit of a stomach. How long had it been since someone appreciated the food he'd cooked? The last time he'd made an elaborate meal. It'd all gone to waste. No one but himself ate any of it. It was really depressing because he'd worked so hard on it just to give everyone in the garage a nice home cooked meal. But they'd gone out for burgers instead. Not even inviting him or telling him so he wouldn't of wasted so much food.

"Something wrong Yusei?" Yugi asked.

He shook his head. "No. Just thinking." he put on a smile. "It's been a while since I cooked. I was wondering if maybe I put too much sage in the vegetables."

"Nope, it's perfect!" Joey continued to eat like a blackhole. "I'll have to come here more often for the food!"

"This isn't an all you can eat buffet Joey." Yugi remarked. Making the other two laugh, as Joey rubbed at the back of his head sheepishly.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Crow swallowed as he eyed the meal that'd been prepared. It all looked so good. "Aww man." he pouted as he stomach growled. "I wish I had some of that food right about now."

"Well tough. You'll have to live with what we've got." Jack retorted with his arms crossed. Sighing as he took another bite of the cheap burger he'd been eating. Since they'd been there, it was all they ate. Mostly because it was cheap, and they obviously didn't have anything to enable them to cook. But after a few days of nothing but burgers, they were getting very tired of them.

"If you're so sick of them, then why don't you go out and earn some money and I'll keep watch." Aki put her hands to her hips.

"Fine! But don't get mad at me if I buy myself a steak!" he grumbled.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"Target on site." a shadowed figure smirked as they watched their prey. There was nothing more thrilling, then having a challenge to reach the prize.

And another chapter is out. Considering it's only been so many months since this was last updated. I think that was pretty good with everything that's been going on on my end. Two deaths within a two week time person. My supervisor having to get surgery. Then ending up getting two surgeries. I don't know, but it's like anything that could happen did from May til now, and it's still on going. . With my supervisor out at the moment, they made me the temporary supervisor. Which means I have more responsibilities at work than I previously did. And to add on to it. TWO people quit within a week from one another. Which made work even more stressful, because that put myself and two co workers as the ONLY workers at the site we work at. And it's a 24 hour, 7 days a week site. *sigh* Luckily we have a temp, so that eases up the stress. But for a bout a month, all I was doing was going into work, and at one point I worked 10 days straight with no days off in between that, along with 12 hour work shifts. *takes a deep breath* You guys really have no idea how stressful it's been for me in just the past month alone. My biggest highlights were Anime Boston and Anime Expo. Which at this point i'm surprised I was even able to go. X.x

So again, I am sorry if updates have gotten very slow. But you do have to bare with me. I don't even have time to hang out with my friends, much less get the time to sit and write fanfiction like I used to. And I won't just type up whatever either to get a chapter out. I do appreciate that people enjoy my fics, I really do. But again, you have to be patient with me. I'm not some kid who sits at home all day, or goes to parties. I'm an adult, who works, who's also a college student, and paying for said college, with responsibilities. But that doesn't mean i'm going to just let my fics sit there and die without being completed. As such, I would also like to say, (and I don't mean to offend anyone by saying this), that I would appreciate it if people didn't try to continue my fics for me of their own accord. I have the plots and scenarios planned out for all my fics. And I feel that no one should assume that they know where or what I was doing or planning on going with my fics. My friends who know me don't even know where my fics tend to end up going because I don't tell them the major plot points or things. They have gotten a mind wash from them just as much as you guys have. Because of this factor.

So again, as much as I appreciate that you guys are enjoying my fics. Do not, I repeat, please do not, continue my fics for me. It will only cause confusion to other readers who read the stories. And I don't want anyone to be confused. I am not saying this to hurt anyone's feelings. Or step on anyone's toes. I am only stating this so people know where I stand on this. But again, I really do appreciate the fact that you guy do enjoy my fics enough to want to do that. It does make me feel honored that you would want to ensure the story is continued and not left unended. But I have no intention of leave any of my fics incomplete. I will emphasize that continually.

Thank you everyone who has waited patiently and given me their continued support. You have no idea how much this means to me. Especially right now with everything that's been going on in my life. Reviews and comments appreciated.
