Cherry: Well, I better get started. Just to let you know though, I put a joke in there that belongs to Family Guy and I don't want to get sued, so yeah. Well, this is where things get REALLY complicated.

Chapter 21: It insists upon itself

Ame refused to believe what her feline friend had told her. It's not Bakura, Malik, the teenage girl wanted to say, it's something far worse… What did you expect? Another voice said, did you think that fighting that snake and Ryou getting hurt was a mere coincidence? Ame shook her head vigorously. Leave me alone! Ame shouted at it, Can't you see I'm in a bind? The voice sighed within her mind. Ame, you can see the future due to your wisdom of the past, it snapped, why can't you accept that? The blonde haired girl mentally turned on the voice. Can't you please understand I don't want this wisdom? Ame snapped, why can't you see that I don't want to bare your burden?

The voice was silent afterwards. Ame used that time to gather her wits and walk out the door. Where do you think you're going? The voice growled once Ame was on the sidewalk. Ame ignored the voice and ran off down the street. Ryou, I know you can't hear me, she thought, but you have to understand that I care about you and if you want to survive what's coming, you need to forget about me. Loving me lead to your downfall all those millennia ago and I won't let it happen again!

With Malik and Maya

Malik prodded Maya with his paw to wake her up. "Maya, wake up! Ra, please don't be like Night Monday morning!" He said. Maya's eyes fluttered a bit before opening completely. "M-Malik? What happened?" the teenager asked before sitting up. Malik dragged her to her feet. "No time, we have to find Night and we have to find her now, considering we-" he was cut off by someone tackling him to the ground. With a yowl, the Malik fell to the ground with a figure in black holding him down. Malik changed into a feline instantly, resulting in more yowls of struggle. Maya was taken by surprise by someone grabbing her and twisting her arm behind her back.

"Hey, paws off!" Maya snapped, trying to wrench her arm free from her captor. He placed his hand over her mouth, causing her to feel woozy. She looked down at his hand and saw a white napkin. He used chloroform? The last thing Maya saw before she slipped into unconsciousness was Malik being shoved into a brown sack, a loud yowl ringing in her ears.

With Night

"Kaito?" Night said in disbelief. Her black and white haired friend was standing in the doorway with sword at his waist, and smile on his face. If she could have, she would have tackled him in a hug and tell him how awesome he was. But, considering her hands were bound by the ropes on her wrists, she couldn't as so much hug him, let alone tackle him. Kaito walked behind her and untied her wrists. As soon as he did, she tackled him. "I'm so glad you're here!" Night exclaimed. Kaito put a finger to his lips, causing Night to go silent. "I came here as soon as I-" He was cut off by someone striking him on the back of the head. He fell to the ground with a thud. Night barely had time to react when someone put their hand over her mouth, cutting off her fresh air. She fell to the ground, next to her childhood best friend.

Later on…

Night and Kaito awoke to see they were chained to the wall of a prison. "Aw, man!" Night shouted. Kaito merely sighed in defeat. "Night?" A voice asked. Night and Kaito's eyes widened. "Maya?" they both said in disbelief. "Yeah, it's me," Maya replied. Night's eyes adjusted to the dark room and she saw her demigod friend chained to the other wall. "It's a Christmas miracle!" Night shouted with glee. "Good to know you haven't been brainwashed," Maya said with a sweat drop. The door opened and a bag was tossed in. A loud yowl erupted form the bag, then a groan. A muzzle popped out, making Night's eyes widen.

"Malik?" Night asked in disbelief. He looked towards Night through the bag's fabric. "Night? You're alright!" the cat shouted. Night laughed. "As I'll ever be! What are you guys doing here?" the blonde asked suddenly. Maya and Malik looked at each other, then at Night. "No idea," They said in unison. Night sighed. "We have to get out of here!" She shouted suddenly. She looked down in defeat and a look of realization came to her face. "And I think I know how we can!"

They looked at her in confusion while Night pulled out the green crystal from her pocket. "Man, that's TWICE I got away with having this!" Night said before squeezing the crystal. It turned into a small knife, which she aimed at the door. "Night, what are you doing?" Kaito asked, in fear his friend might do something she might regret. "I'm going to throw this knife at the door lock and hopefully it'll go in the lock. And if it does, we're home free!" She answered. Before they could object, Night threw the knife at the door. But instead of going in the lock like Night planned, it bounced off at an angle and aimed for the ceiling. "Uh-oh," Night said. The knife jammed into one of the sprinklers on the ceiling, activating it. Water started to pour onto the three teens and cat below.

Maya sent a glare towards Night. "I am so going to get back at you for this," Maya growled. Malik, whose head was still covered, looked around in confusion. "What did she do?" he asked. Then he felt the water fall on him. "Oh that is so uncool," Malik said. Kaito looked around in horror. "Guys, we're going to drown if we stay in here with the water running!" he shouted. Night and Maya exchanged worried looks. Night sighed and said, "Well, if this is the end, I feel there is something I should share with you all before we all drown." Maya looked up and said, "Oh dear god…"

"What I need to tell you is…I did not care for the Godfather," she said. Kaito and Maya looked at Night in shock. "What?" Maya said. "Did not care for the Godfather," Night repeated. "H-how can you say that, Night?" Kaito asked. "Didn't like it," She replied with a shrug. "Algamero, Alpachino, I mean you never see- Robert Duvall!" Kaito shouted. "Fine actor, didn't like the movie," Night said. "I mean, Night, it's so good. It's the perfect movie!" Maya said. "See, this is always what I get!" Night snapped. "Why don't you like it?" Malik asked, joining in on the conversation. "Couldn't get into it," was Night's simple reply. "Explain, what didn't you like about it?" Kaito asked.

"It insists upon itself."

"What?"

"It insists upon itself."

"What does that even mean?" Kaito asked Night. "It has a valid point to make, it's insistent!" Maya shouted. "It takes forever getting in; it takes about six and a half hours; I can't even finish the movie, I've never seen the ending," Night said, only for Kaito to shout, "You've never seen the ending?" Malik look up. "Well, how can you say you don't like it if you've never given it a chance?" he asked suddenly. "I love the Money Pit," Night said calmly, "That is my answer to that statement."

"Exactly," Maya said with an annoyed look.

"Well there you go."

"Whatever."

"I like that movie too," Kaito said quietly.

Cherry: Yeah, not exactly my best chapter… well, read and review.
