Me:Yes, I am back again. I will probably update this story quite a bit now, since I know what I want to do with it. There will be 2 chapters left before I start working on the sequel.

Valon:It's finally going to be over!

Me:-_- anyway, I don't own Yugioh and never will. I own none of its characters. NO FLAMES, but everything else is appreciated. I apologize if anyone seems OOC.

"Hey Mokuba, are we there yet?"

Mokuba gave an annoyed look to Joey before answering his question. "We are about 30 minutes away. So stop asking!"

Joey shrugged and sat back in his seat. Yami squeezed the arm rest of his chair. In an half and hour, they would be closer to getting Tea. Soon she would be safe and out of harms way. Yami looked up to see Kaiba come towards him. He gave him a grim look. "Hey Kaiba."

Kaiba just narrowed his eyes at him. "Are you just going to sit and sulk?"

Yami raised an eyebrwo. "Excuse me?"

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "Sitting there and sulking does nothing. In fact it makes me sick."

"I wasn't sulking."

Kaiba snorted. "Could've fooled me."

Yami narrowed his eyes, but let the subject drop. He knew Kaiba had a point. If Kaiba gave you the truth, he would give it to you. Not exactly in the nicest way, but in his own way, he did care. Just a little.

"Hey Valon!"

Valon looked up from washing his motorcycle. He grinned at her. "Hey bird! Watcha doin?"

Tea smiled. "Oh nothing." She looked at his bike. "That's a pretty cool bike. I like how its the color yellow."

Valon felt the urge to puff out his chest, but he didn't. "Thanks. It's pretty cool isn't it?"

"Yeah. Was it scary when you rode it the first time?"

"Nah, well maybe a little, but it was mostly nerves. You have to get used to it."

Tea gave another smile. "That's pretty cool. I thought it would be scary. Guess I was wrong."

Valon whipped his hands on his pants and stood up. "Do you wanna try it?"

Tea shook her head. "Oh no, I couldn't ride that."

Valon laughed. "Aren't you the one who's always giving friendship speeches and telling people not to give up?"

Tea shook her head, knowing he had a point. "Alright, I guess I'll give it a try."

"Great! Just let me finish washing it, and then you can ride it."

"Okay," was all Tea said and she sat down on the ground while Valon continued washing the motorcycle. Things were quiet between them. Tea found that it was very comtorable. Valon seemed to be focused very hard in his work, which was strange because normally he seemed very hyper and full of energy.

"Alright, here we go!" Valon said and Tea looked up. She grinned and stood up, following him up in front of the yard. Valon passed her a helmet. "We wouldn't want you breaking your pretty head, now would we?"

Tea shook her head. "No, that would not be good." She took the helmet from him and placed it on her head. She smiled. If only the guys could see her now. They would probably think she looked pretty cool. Her heart sank a little. She hadn't seen her friends in weeks. Valon gave her a concerned look. "Are you okay?"

Tea nodded, shaking the feeling off. "Yeah, I'm fine. Now how do I start this thing?"

Valon cleared his throat. "Well first, you have to make sure everything is in top condition. Which, its already in. Then..." Tea listned as Valon continued on about motorcycle preps, how to get on it, how to start it, and then finally, how to ride. Tea nodded earnestly, listening to every detail, since her adopted parents said it could be dangerous.

Valon nodded at her. "And now, you're ready to start."

Tea felt excited. She started the engine, and began to take off, Valon shouting encouraging words at her. "You're doing it! Wooh! You're doing it!" Tea laughed at the wind. She had never imagined that this would be so much fun! Eventually, she had to come back to Valon. Smiling, she took off the helmet. "That was so much fun! I never imagined it would be!"

Valon chuckled. "It's nice having the wind run through your hair isn't it?" Tea nodded whole heartedly. Valon chuckled again. "Do you want to ride it again?"

Mokuba stared at the esembled group in front of him. "Alright, we're now at Dartz's hideout. I'm sure you are all wondering how we're going to get there."

Rebecca raised her hand. "Just get to the point already! Why don't we take the island stairs that are right there?"

Mokuba glared at her. "Don't tell me what to do! You're younger than I am!"

Rebecca pushed her glasses up. "Actually, I'm a college student thank you very much."

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "That's enough you two. We'll take the stairs and duel our way through anyone that gets in our way."

Joey gave a confused look. "Why would we have to duel?"

Bakura gave him a whack on the head. "Because we're bound to run into someone you idiot."

Mokuba continued on. "We'll go in two pairs. Rebecca and I will go together, since we're younger, we'll have Tristain go with us. Kaiba and Yami will go together. Duke and Proffesor Hawkins will be a team, and that just leaves Joey and Bakura."

Joey glared at the albino. "Why do I have to go with him?"

Bakura sneered at him. "It's just your lucky day."

Yami rolled his eyes at their behavior. "Stop it you two. Now, lets get going." All nine of them took off, running up the stairs of the island. Yami felt adrenaline kick in. This was it. They were finally getting closer to Tea! Kaiba looked back at him, seeing as everyone else took there own seperate paths. "You better be keeping up Yami, I'm not going to wait for you."

Yami gave him a look. "I won't be left behind Kaiba. Tea needs us. I'm not going to let her down."

Kaiba snorted. "Just don't get in my way, okay?"

Yami narrowed his eyes. "Why are you here anyway. You don't like Tea, do you?"

Kaiba stopped running. "She's one of Mokuba's friends, and as much as I dislike the idea of friends, she's special to Mokuba and I don't want to see him upset. Also, she save his life. He wanted to return the favor himself."

Yami nodded. "And you're wanting to duel one of the Doma warriors aren't you?"

Kaiba smirked. "That would be about right."

Both of them would've gone further, but a voice stopped them. "And what do you think you're doing here?"

Both of them turned around to see Alister standing there, an angry scowl on his face and his steel grey eyes boring into theirs. Kaiba snorted. "What do you think we're doing here?"

Alister's scowl deepened. "You're here to rescue Tea."

Yami raised an eyebrow. "You're all on first name bases?"

Alister rolled his eyes. "That doesn't matter. You won't be seeing her again. If you want to get passed me, you'll have to duel me. That means you Kaiba!"

Yami got ready to activate his duel disk. "I'll help!"

Kaiba stopped him. "No Yami. This is my fight. I don't need your help, is that clear?"

Yami frowned at him, but backed out, much to his displeasure. Kaiba needed help, but then again, he had dueled Alister before.

"You keeping up old man?" Duke asked Proffesor Hawkins, who was wheezing a little. He gave a tired smile to the younger boy. "I'll be fine, just not as young as I used to be."

Duke nodded and slowed down to a stop. "Here, I'll slow down."

The professor shook his head. "No, I'll be fine. Don't slow down for me."

"Well isn't this sweet?"

Both of them gave alarmed looks to each other. Entering the hallway, was a buff man with blond side burns. Duke glared at him, classifiying him as the one that took Yugi's soul, Rahael. He clenched his fists. "You! You're the one who took Yugi's soul!"

Raphael shrugged. "Actually, it was the pharoah."

Duke scowled. "Doesn't matter! Duel me!"

Raphael gave a short laugh. "I don't want to duel you. I'm after the pharaoh."

Duke started his duel disk. "To get to the pharoah, you'll have to get through me!"

"Hold on Duke!"

Duke turned to see Professor Hawkins coming towards him. "Let me handle this one."

Duke dropped his jaw. "You...you duel?"

Hawkins nodded. "Doesn't everyone these days? Need I remind you, I dueled Solomon Moto."

Duke nodded. "Yeah, but this duel is different! You could get your soul taken away!"

Hawkins laughed. "If there is one thing the Hawkins family knows, is that we don't ever give up! We protect our friends till the very end. Wouldn't you agree?"

Duke nodded begrudingly and handed the older man his duel disk. Proffesor Hawkins thanked him and then looked at Raphael square in the eye. "Let's duel!"

"This way Mokuba!"

"No this way!"

Rebecca glared at him. "We should go my way! I'm smarter!"

Mokuba glared back. "No, we should go this way. I'm older!"

Tristain rolled his eyes, wishing he could trade places with Joey. "Will you two stop it! You're acting like babies!"

"Shouldn't babies be at home with binkeys in their mouths?"

All three of them turned to see Mai Valentine come towards them. "I'll make this short. You and one of me. Duel. Now."

Rebecca turned to her. "You're on! Let's duel!"

Tristain dropped his jaw. "But..But you're too young!"

Rebecca glared. "I am not! I'm not going to let you guys have all the fun! Now the bleach blond barbie and I are going to duel!" she activated her own duel disk. Mai smirked. "You got spunk kid, but let's see how you handle with the big girls."

"You're on! Duel!"

"Hey Tea, it's getting late out. We should get inside." Valon said. He stopped and looked at Tea. She was leaning against the banister, fast asleep. Valon smiled serenly. She looked like an angel when she slept.

Unknowst to him, a blond haired boy and a white haired boy hid in the grass infront of the house. Neither of them blended in very well though. Bakura glared at him. "Why are we hiding in the bushes? We look ridicoulous!"

Joey smirked. "Camaflouge my friend."

"I'm not your friend."

"Geez dude relax."

Bakura rolled his eyes and they continued to watch their enemy. Valon was totally oblivious to them at the moment. He turned Tea's head to face him, his eyes clouded over with desire. He leaned in a few more inches, making their lips meet each other. Joey dropped his jaw, feeling anger rise up in him. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

Bakura glared at him and clamped a hand over his mouth. Tea didn't move at all, but Valon whirled his head to face them. Bakura waved at him, seeing no need to mask their appearence now. "Hello there."

Joey's face was now heated with anger. "You...You...You...BASTARD! Why the hell did you kiss my friend!"

Valon chuckled. "That's none of your buisness, now is it? I never realized you were so possesive over your friend. Do you like her too?"

Joey glared even harder. "Not like that! The only one I love like that is Mai."

Valon smirked. "Are you sure? You seem pretty mad right now."

Bakura narrowed his eyes. "You just kissed his friend. Is he supposed to be okay?"

Valon looked at him. "And who are you? Never seen you around."

"I'm Bakura, the holder of the millennium ring."

Valon nodded. "Ah, one of those do hickys. Well, I'm going to have to get rid of you. Noone can know what I just did. I'll keep it my dirty little secret okay?"

Joey activated his duel disk. "You're on loser! And I'll make sure I get out alive!"

"We'll see about that."

Me:That was the longest chapter.

Valon:I kissed Tea...wow...

Me:It was bound to happen eventually

Alister:What was with the stairs thing?

Me:Well, in one of the season for episodes where you guys fell out of the plane, the thing you landed on looked like stairs to me,

Alister:Oh

Me:See you all next time. Ta ta for now!
