Here's chapter 2 of Mission 3!

Like I said, this chapter will be short-ish.

Long EndingAN though, please read it. It's important.

For now, here's the next chapter!

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, YGOTAS, the fanfic cover, or any of the characters/trademarks in those. I don't own Limey Man, but I do own how he looks in this fanfic.

R&R

ENJOY~!

Ryo quieted and looked at the door. He listened for Bakura's footsteps. After a minute, he still heard nothing. He sighed in relief.

He knew that Bakura wouldn't interfere through their mind link because Bakura couldn't reach him through it when he was Limey Man. When Bakura first found out about Ryou being Limey Man, which was around the same time that Marik and Bakura started dating, Ryou had been worried that their mind link would alert Bakura whenever he transformed. But he discovered that they couldn't communicate with each other when Ryou was Ryo. Their mind link wasn't closed off, exactly, but they couldn't talk to each other, read the other's mind, or access the other's soul room without permission. Bakura thought of it as a block, but Ryou simply thought of it as a stronger defense. If Bakura tried to talk to him while he was Ryo, Bakura wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Ryou being Limey Man and Ryou simply ignoring him.

So basically, Bakura would not be able to tell if he was Ryou or Ryo through their mind link alone.

"Time to find Marik," Ryo said.

"Millenium Ring!" Limey Man shouted. The golden pendant around his neck levitated a bit. It glowed brightly. He closed his eyes and concentrated hard on who he was trying to find.

"Show me..." He opened his eyes. In them, a mental picture of Marik appeared. "...Marik!"

The five points of the Millenium Ring stood up on end. A beam of light shot from each one. The beams were about two feet long. At the points where they ended, five beams of light formed between the two adjacent beams, making a pentagon.

In the pentagon, an image of Marik appeared.

He was walking down a hallway in his apartment building. It was his floor, Ryo knew. He stopped when he had reached his door.

He took a new-looking key out of his pocket. He put the key in the keyhole. He hesitated for a few seconds, then turned it. He sighed and looked relieved. 'But why?' Ryo wondered.

He opened the door, then took the key out of the keyhole and and pocketed it.

The door closed.

The scene switched to just inside, on the other side of the door.

Marik looked at a tiny little wooden shelf on the wall next to the door. There was nothing on it.

Marik groaned. "I knew it," he said. "He does have the spare..."

Spare? Ryo wondered. Spare what? Key? Perhaps "he" was Bakura, and Bakura had a spare key to Marik's apartment? But what did that mean for this situation? What did it mean about what had happened last night?

Ryou decided that he wasn't going to think about it too much. He had only planned to find out where Marik was, and that's exactly what he just did. He knew where Marik was now, and could tell Bakura.

He let the image fade, and the Millenium Ring went limp.

I should transform back before I try to find him or before Bakura tries to use the mind link to talk to me.

He listened again to make sure that Bakura wasn't coming or nearby. He heard nothing, and deemed it safe enough to transform back.

He put his arms out on either side of him and whispered, "RB Revert."

Aftermath chapter next. But you already knew that.

(Technically this IS the 4th mission of the fanfic, but only because the first one is labeled as "Mission 0".)

I'm starting to think this fanfic was a bad idea. It might be the combination of the Abridged concept but non-abridged personality and story... It just might be deterring YGOTAS fans from reading further and non-YGOTAS fans from even looking at it. But I have no idea...

Anyway, thanks if you're still reading this fanfic. I have no idea what you people are thinking about it now.

I kinda feel like this story isn't getting as much attention or love as I thought it would (not "as I wanted it to", as much attention as i THOUGHT it would. those are not necessarily the same number). I would appreciate it if more people reviewed once in a while, just to let me know that you're still reading, maybe to help me correct a few errors I might have missed, to tell me what I'm doing right and wrong and need to improve... Stuff like that. I like the people who read my stuff, but I love the reviewers even more because I love reading reviews and they help me improve.
I'm not saying I want a billion reviews. I'm just saying that reviews are appreciated and they help me out a lot. I feel like this story has too few reviews compared to the number of chapters.
So help me out a bit, will ya? pwease? ~(O 3 O)~

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEE~!
