Ryou laughed as he spun the spinner. “Right hand blue” he announced after it had

stopped.

Tany touched tolorolored circle with ease, but Mokuba fell flat on his face. He got up laughing.

“This is so fun you guys, thanks for staying here with me.”

Ryou handed Mokuba the spinner and smiled.

“Nothing like spending your night off playing Twister”

“What time is it anyway?” Tany ask.

Ryou looked down at his watch

“12:15, why?”

Tany shrugged her shoulders

“I was just curious”

Mokuba jumped up as his brother Seto entered the room.

“Hey Seto, will you play at least one round of Twister with me? Pleeeeeease?”

Kaiba smiled slightly down at his brother. He cupped Mokuba’s cheek gently in his hand.

“Mokuba.....don’t you think I’m a little old TwisTwister?”

Mokuba shook his head.

“No! You’re not! Pl! Pleeeeeeease big brother? I loooooove you!”

Seto looked at Ryou and Tany apprehensively. They both were grinning from ear to ear.

“Uh....I suppose. Only one game though. I have alot of work to do”

“YAY! Seto’s playing! Ryou, can you be the spinner again? Please?”

Ryou smiled

“Yes, I don’t mind.”


Odeon and Malik sat a few feet away from the Twister game watching television. Odeon

was very quiet, and Malik had the look of death on his face. He heard Ryou say it was 12:15.

“Marik is going to pay dearly for being late. Those two left over 4 hours ago.” he growled.

Odeon didn’t want to piss Malik off, he knew all too well how he liked sending people to the

Shadow Realm. He just nodded quietly and continued watching television.


“Left foot green” Ryou announced.

Tany, Mokuba, and Kaiba all attempted to reach for one of the green les.les. Kaiba had no trouble

reaching the circle. He was blessed with the height gene, unlike his little brother. Tany made the stretch

too, but once again, Mokuba fell over, taking Tany and his brother down in the process. Kaiba

landed right on top of Tany, causing her to blush.

“Sorry” he said as he pulled himself up to his knees.

“It’s part of the game” Tany chuckled.

Mokuba jumped up onto his feet,

“Seto, will you pleeeeeese play again?”

“Mokuba, I don’t really ti- ti-”

Mokuba threw his arms around his brother before he could finish his sentence.

“Plllllllllllleeeeeese????” he ask very sweetly.

Kaiba rolled his eyes

“I suppose”

Quite some time later, Marik and Caroline came bursting through the door.

“Hurry! Lock that fucking thing!” Caroline yelled as she shoved a small pistol into her jacket

pocket.

“I am, I am!” Marik panted.

Malik quickly stood up and stared at both of them wickedly.

“Where in fuck have you been” he hissed.

Marik and Caroline froze in their tracks when they met his doomgaze.

Kaiba got up off the floor and got between them.

“What’s going on?”

Marik shot a nervous glance at Malik, than looked back at Kaiba.

“Somebody was after us. We’ve been running around this city for over 3 hours trying to get away

from them”

Kaiba was visibly distraught.

“Did you see them?”

Caroline nodded her head

“Yeah, the person was wearing all black.....they were kinda tall, and very skinny. I was gonna put

a bullet in their ass, but Marik wouldn’t let me!”

Ryou walked over and joined them,

“Did you happen to notice anything besides what they were wearing and their weight?”

Marik closed his eyes.

“Yes....their eyes.........they were filled with anger.....very angry brown eyes.”

Ryou turned away and sat down,

//Bakura? Could it be?// he thought to himself.

Kaiba grabbed his cellphone out of his pocket.

“This has gone far enough. I’m going to have to get the authors involved. If there’s some nutcase

following us around, I have no other choice.”

Marik and Caroline hung up their jackets and sat at the table. Malik walked over to them, still

looking very pissed. He grabbed Marik’s arm and jerked him up off the chair.

“Come with me” he growled as he pulled him into one of the back rooms.

Caroline stayed seated.....she looked a bit scared.

Kaiba finished making his call and joined. her.

“An officer will be here in a few minutes. They want to ask you and Marik a few questions.”

Caroline stared down at her patent leather boots and sighed.

“Great” she said somberly.

The sound of yelling came from the room Malik had pulled Marik into. Than came loud thuds.

Caroline closed here eyes.

“I wish Yami would get back.”

Within minutes after she'd spoken to the police, her wish came true. Joey, Duke, Tristan, and Tea all staggered into the

room drunkenly. Yami followed close behind cradling little passed out Yugi in his arms.

“Hey gang, why’s everybody lookin’ so depressed?” Joey ask as he got himself a drink of water.

“Marik and Caroline were followed tonight by some wacko.” Tany explained.

Joey turned to look at Caroline. She was still sitting at the table staring down at her boots.

“Say what?” Duke mused as he opened a beer.

Before he could answer, Malik stormed out of the back room. He walked into the bathroom and

locked himself inside.

“Sheesh, what’s up his ass?” Tristan ask.

Caroline got up and walked quickly to the room Marik was still in and closed the door.

Yami laid Yugi on the couch and looked at Kaiba.

“Something is definitely wrong here. What’s going on Kaiba.”

Kaiba went on to explain everything that had just occurred. Yami lowered his eyes.

“Excuse me for a minute. I’m going to go talk to Marik and Caroline.”

He kissed his little passed out drunk Yugi lightly on the forehead before going to the back room.

He opened the door only a crack and peeked inside.

Marik was sitting on the bed looking down at his shoes and Caroline was next to him with her arms draped

around his shoulders.

“May I come in?” Yami ask in a low voice.

Caroline looked up and nodded.

“Yes, please do.”

Yami entered and closed the door quietly behind him. He kneeled down infront of Marik and

Caroline.

“What happened here”

As Marik looked up, Yami could see his face was swelling rapidly. His left eye was watering, and

it was a dark shade of purple underneath. A trickle of blood ran down the corner of his mouth.

“Malik” Marik said in almost a whisper.

Yami’s eyes filled with anger.

“Malik did this to you? Why?”

Caroline bit her bottom lip.

“It’s all my fault. I wanted to go out with Marik tonight because I hadn’t had much time with him

lately. Malik got really jealous for some reason and totally lost it. We promised him we’d be back

soon, but than we ended up getting followed all around the city by some psycho. We got back late

and Malik went off the deep end......What’s going on Yami? Please tell me....Why is Malik acting

so weird?”

Her voice cracked as tears filled her eyes. She clung onto Marik tightly.

Yami reached out and took her hand.

“Caroline.....this isn't your fault. This might be hard for you to understand, but I’ll do my best to explain it.

Remember at the diner a few weeks ago when Malik mentioned he was Marik’s bad side?”

Caroline nodded her head.

“Yes”

Yami took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

“This is how it is; Malik is still Marik’s bad side. Just like Bakura and Ryou. Even though Malik

and Bakura care deeply for their lights, they can’t control the demons inside of them. What’s

going on here is just the inevitable.”

Caroline swallowed back her tears,

“So why aren’t you evil and nasty Yami?”

“I’ve always wanted what’s best for Yugi. Ever since I first laid eyes on him. He and I help each

other. When I’m feeling down, he brings me up, and vice versa. I could never hurt him, he means

too much to me.”

Marik lifted his head slowly

“Are you saying Malik hates me?” he sobbed.

Yami shook his head

“No, I don’t think so. I feel deep in my heart though that if you can hang in there, Malik will come

to terms with his physical and spiritual separation from you.”

“This just sucks.” Caroline pouted.

Marik cracked a slight grin at her child-like response.

“Yes, it does”

“So what do we do now?” Caroline ask Yami.

“Just hang in there. I’ll try to talk to Malik, but I doubt it will help. This is something only he can

solve.”

Marik slowly got to his feet and reached for Caroline’s hand.

“Let’s go watch some tv. Sitting in here sulking isn’t much fun”

“Malik better behave.” Caroline sniffled.

Yami reached out and gave Caroline a hug

“He locked himself in the bathroom, I wouldn’t worry about it.”

The three of them walked out of the room and joined everybody else infront of the television.

Mokuba had fallen asleep on Kaiba’s lap. Tany and Ryou were cuddled up together next to them.

Joey was on the other couch where Yami had laid Yugi. Duke, Tristan, Odeon, and Tea had all

since gone to bed. Malik opened the bathroom door just a crack.

“Marik? Caroline? Come here”

Marik and Caroline exchanged nervous glances as they honored his request and stepped into the

bathroom with him.
