“I wonder what’s taking Tany so long” Ryou said nervously as he cuddled closer to Bakura.

Bakura reached out and turned off the lamp that was on the nightstand by the bed. He looked

down at Ryou and smiled.

“You know how women are, talk talk talk. When I was in Kansas I had to listen to hours of

Tilly’s ramblings. I do not know how her husband could live with her for so long. I certainly

would have sent her to the-”

Ryou smiled as he closed his eyes

“Shadow Realm” he finished for his dark.

Bakura chuckled lightly as he ran his fingers through Ryou’s baby soft hair.

“Exactly.........Now don’t worry about Tany, I’m sure she’s fine, get some sleep”

Ryou fell asleep very quickly, but Bakura was still wide awake. He might have fooled Ryou into

thinking Tany was alright, but he was getting worried deep down. She had left over an hour ago.

There was a very light tapping on the bedroom door that drew Bakura’s attention.

“Yes?” he said softly.

Malik and Marik walked in, both with panic in their eyes. Panic turned into disbelief when their

eyes fell upon Bakura.

“Well well, look what the cat dragged in” Malik smirked.

Bakura raised his eyebrows and grinned.

“Is there something the two of you wanted?”

Malik nodded his head

“Yes, there is. We’re worried about Caroline. She took off over an hour ago and hasn’t come

back.”

Bakura nodded his head

“Yes, I know. Tany went with her.”

All the talking woke Ryou, he sat up and blinked a few times so his eyes could adjust. He saw

Marik and Malik standing at the foot of the bed.

“What the hell do you two idiots want” he growled sleepily.

Bakura chuckled at his lights sarcasm. He loved it when Ryou copped an attitude.

“We were hoping you’d help us go look for Caroline”

Ryou covered his head with his pillow and grunted

“No, go find her yourself. I’m sleeping.”

Bakura slipped out from under the warm covers and picked up his jeans off the floor.

“I’ll help you look” Bakura nodded as he got dressed. Malik and Marik thanked him and took off

quickly. Hours passed and there was still no sign of the girls. Bakura, Marik and Malik met back

in the hotel lobby.

“It’s not my fault you stupid jackass! You’re the one who started all this!” Malik screamed at

Marik, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Fuck you! It’s your Ra-damned fa If If you were so fucking possessive none

of this would have happened!” Marik screamed back.

Bakura got in the middle of them and calmly held up his hands.

“Stop it the two of you. Bickering isn’t helping any. We need to talk to Kaiba, he’ll know what to

do.”

Bakura walked to the front desk and gave the woman a sexy smile.

“Hey sweetheart, can you do me a little favor? Can you call up to room 445D and get Seto Kaiba

on for me?”

The woman did exactly what he ask with out any questions ask.

//Hey Kaiba, it’s Bakura. There’s problem down here in the lobby, mind coming down here?”

//Bakura? You’re back?// Kaiba replied.

//Yes, please bring Ryou down with you. It’s urgent.//

Bakura handed the phone back to the desk attendant and told her to hang it up.

“Oh yes, by the way, did you happen notice anything nge nge around 5 O’clock this morning?”

Bakura mentioned.

The woman pursed her lips together thoughtfully.

“Uh....hmmm......Well, sorta......a woman ask me if she and her companions could rent a room for

only half price if they only used it for a couple hours, but thats not very uncommon really, it

happens alot.”

Bakura nodded his head.

“Were her companion 2 girls?”

The woman shrugged

“I never saw them. The woman paid for the room and I haven’t seen her since.”

“Okay, thank you” Bakura walked back over to the Ishtars.

They were sitting with their backs turned from each other and their arms crossed.

“Can the two of you please stop this? We need to work together right now if we are going to find

the girls.”


*Caroline’s POV*


What the fuck? Where am I? Oooooh my aching head! I think I’m in a car or something.

Somebody is talking, but I can’t make out their words. They sound like that wah wah lady on

Charlie Brown cartoons.

I feel so light headed. Something isn’t right here. I have to open my eyes.....have to......they feel

so heavy though.

I open my eyes just a bit. Everything is blurry......Someone is next to me....their head is on my

shoulder. Is that Tany? Oh fuck......I don’t feel so well.......I think I’m gonna puke. I better turn

around.

Well that feels better. My vision is clearing just a bit now. Tany is passed out next to me. Oh

wow, she looks like shit. Fuck, I wonder how I look! Where are we? Some sort of van it looks

like. I shake Tany, but she’s completely out. Damn it. Hey, whose driving this thing?

I try moving, but my body feels like Jello. This isn’t right, something suspicious is going on here.

Oh no, the lady sees me. She getting somethiut out of her purse. What’s she doing? She leaning

over the seat.

OWE! The bitch just stabbed me in the leg with a needle! I hate needles! I’m gonna kick her ass!

Oh oh....this ain’t good.....drowsy......so drow.............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tany’s POV


Hmm? What? Mom? Is that you? Wait a minute, I’m in a vehicle. Ryou? Bakura? Where am I?

Who’s next to me?

I look to see where I am, opening my eyes very slowly. Holy shit, the light is bright!

Caroline? What’s wrong with her? She looks like shit! Something must be wrong, that girl never

looks this bad. I never seen her without lipstick on. She’s missing an earring......that’s not like her

at all.

Who else is here? There’s one....two......three people. Where are they taking us? Hey, the van is

stopping. What’s going on here? I better close my eyes and fake this. I hear the van door slide

open. Somebody is picking me up. They’re carrying me somewhere.......I’m going to take a quick

peek. Hey! We’re in the middle of nowhere! There’s a barn up ahead. Oh oh.....the woman sees

I’m awake.....she’s reaching into her purse.....

OUCH! That cunt just stabbed me in the ass with a needle!

“Vi-och!” I try to yell.

That didn’t come out right, what the hell? I can’t talk right! Hey.....what’s happening? Everything

is going dark......Ryou! Help!


Marik’s POV

I can’t believe this is happening. We’ve been searching for hours now. Bakura and Malik took off

following a lead. Kaiba put the tour on hold once again so we could look for Caroline and Tany.

Ryou is besides himself right now. He hasn’t stopped crying since he learned the girls were

missing. He’s so distraught he hasn’t said a word since we started searching. I’m fresh out of

ideas where to look. I don’t know what to do. If Malik hadn’t started shit, none of this would be

happening. I’m so pissed at him. If something bad happened to Caroline, I’ll never speak to him

again!


Malik’s POV

I’m glad Bakura is driving this car. I don’t think I could drive at this point. Caroline is missing,

and they say it looks like an abduction. Bakura convinced the lady at the desk to let us look in the

room the strange lady rented, and we found one of Caroline’s earrings. I knew it was hers because

I gave it to her. She liked my earrings so much I couldn’t help but let her wear them. She was so

thrilled. I miss her smile......her laugh.....If only Marik would have just let me have her all to

myself. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. Nobody has ever understood me, but she

seems to. I come off as a bad ass, but Im actually a nice guy deep down. We have to find her, I

can’t even fathom my actions if I find something tragic has happened to her.

“Hey Bakura, hand me those Sweet-Tarts” I say, pointing to a tube of candy on his side of the

dash board.


Bakura’s POV


There Malik goes with the candy again. I swear if that guy is a candy-holic. I noticed he only gets

really bad candy cravings when he’s stressed. Damn, he reminds me of a woman! I look over at

him and grin. He’s too involved in his candy to even notice Im looking at him. I hope Tany is

alright. We found Caroline’s earring laying on the floor in one of the rooms back at the hotel, so

we know something isn’t good. I also found a book of used matches that say “Macy’s Bar and

Grill.” We’re on our way there now to see if we can come up with anything. Kaiba’s got the

police out looking too.....hopefully we’re find our girls soon. I really like Tany, I feel so horrible

for just leaving like I did. I had to though, I needed time to sort though things. I’ve been very

confused over my relationship with Ryou ever since Yami cast that separation spell. Old

hate-filled feelings were getting the best of me. The time I spent on that Kansas farm opened my

eyes though. Hank and Tilly fought so much, but they always made up. It was obvious they loved

each other. Well, I see the bar just ahead. I hope we find something here.


Caroline’s POV

Water.....need water......my lips are so dry. Where am I now? What the fuck? I’m on laying on

hay! It smells like cow shit in here! Oh no, that nasty lady is coming at me with that needle again!

“SCHTOP! Wah-nee WAH!” I yell before she can stab me with that cock sucking thing again.

“The blond is saying something....I think she wants water” The woman yells to one of the guys.

What’s wrong with my speech? I sound like an idiot! Wait a minute, TANY. Is she here too? I

vaguely remember seeing her. Oh yes, shes here on the stinky hay with me. Gross, I hate barn

smell.

“Here’s some water, now shut your fucking trap bitch” The woman sneers at me, holding a cup of

water to my lips.

I drink it down as fast as I can, my face is so numb. I can barely swallow because I cant feel my

body. It’s like I’m in a dream.

“Mow” I say, asking for more. The woman glares and pulls out the needle again.

“No. You’ve had enough.” She hisses as she stabs me with the needle again

“OWE........FU-KAH” I say, just before blacking out again.


Malik’s POV


Looks like we’re heading back to Domino. The bartender remembered seeing 3 people, a woman

2 men. They weren’t locals, and they weren’t very talkative. They said they were in a hurry and

needed to use the bathroom. He’d overheard them talking about some blue farm on the outskirts

of Domino, so thats where we’re heading. It’s a good 12 hour drive from here yet, so I bought

the guy out of candy bars and picked up a twelver of beer. I’ll need it if I’m going to have to sit in

this car that long. I can tell Bakura is going on pure adrenaline right now. His eyes are focused

on the road ahead. Hey, I just remembered something. I snitched a pinch out of Marik’s weed

stash before we left. I think it’s time to get high!


Tany’s POV


Oh god, I’m gonna be sick. My guts are rolling.......oh no here it comes........oh good, theres a

duffle bag next to me.


Much better.....I hope these assholes like the little present I left them in their. Fu. Fuckers......I

wish I knew why they’re doing this. I can see Caroline passed out cold next to me. We’re in some

kind of barn. It smells horrible, or wait, maybe that the scent of puke.

*grin*

Oh damn it. Here comes that evil needle lady again. Fucking bitch. Shes got that needle again

too..... Shi Shit, here it comes. Someone please!...........help!


Bakura’s POV


Well, we’ve been on the road for almost 12 hours now. I’m glad I don’t need sleep like my light

does, I never would have been able to make this trip otherwise.

Malik is staring out the window. He’s been getting stoned the entire drive. I would have joined

him, but Im too worked up. Tany is missing and I have to find her. I can see a blue barn in the

middle of a field. It’s worth checking out, blue barns are not very common. The one I was at was

red. So were all the other barns I saw in Kansas. I tell Malik to follow me as we get ou the the car

and leave it parked behind a row of trees. We walk about 50 yards when we come across a rusty

old van. That’s odd. I have a feeling we’re close. It’s getting dark, I can see a dim light coming

from the barn. There better not be any cows in it. I hate cows. They all should be banished to the

Shadow Realm.

Voices.

I hear voices inside. Malik looks at me apprehensively.

“Follow me” I whisper to him as we walk around the barn to a small side door.

Malik peeks through a space between the barn boards and looks back at me with wide, excited

eyes.

“The girls are in there!” he grins.

Great, we found them. How do we get them out now? Oh fuck it, I’ll just kick the door down.

I muster up all my strength and proceed to kick the door down. The 3 individuals jump as we

walk in.

Malik doesn't waste anytime. He pulls out his Millennium rod and sends them to the Shadow Realm.

Why’d he do that now? I wanted to kick some ass! Oh well, we have to see how the girls are.

They’re laying motionless on some hay. Damn, the smell of this place is bringing back bad

memories.

“Let’s get them in the car” I say to Malik.

We carry the girls, who are still incoherent, but alive, to the car and call Kaiba.

Malik lays Caroline in the backseat and scoots in next to her. He rests her head on his lap and

strokes her hair. He looks scared.

I lay Tany in the front seat next to me. Why won’t she wake up?

After an hour of driving back, Caroline starts coming to.

“no....no no.......” she repeats over and over.

“Sweety?” Malik says quietly.

Caroline opens her eyes and screams. Damn! I think I’m deaf! I look over at Tany. She is still out

cold.

“Settle baby, settle!” Malik says firmly as he restrains her wrists.

I hear Caroline whimper like a baby. I look back in my rearview mirror and see her curling up into

a ball on the opposite side of the seat of Malik. He looks mortified.

Bakura, what’s wrong with her? What do I do?”

How the hell do I know? I’m not an expert on this type of thing.

“Try to talk to her” I say, looking back at the road.

“Caroline, it’s me, Malik.......what’s wrong?”

“Mawi? Hoo yuu?” she squeaks.

“Huh? I don’t understand” Malik says back.

“nee-do? yu hov NEE-DO?”

Malik lets out a groan

“Are you speaking Russian or something, honey?”


Caroline’s POV


Russian? What’s that? Who is this blond guy? Why is his hair sticking up? He scares me a little,

but he seems familiar.

What’s going on? My mind is so foggy. All I remember is a needle......

Who’s that driving? He must be some old hippie, he’s got long white hair.

The blond guy reaches out to touch me, but I pull away.

“NA NEEDO! OWEY!”

I cant get my mouth to work. Fuck.

He says something I don’t understand, and looks at me like he’s scared.

“Yuu Wussian?” I ask. Maybe I don’t understand him because he’s foreign. He sure looks strange

enough to be a foreigner.

He says something again, I can only make out a few words.

It sounded like

“You’re talking like a martian”

What’s a martian? Maybe I’m Russian, and he’s a martian trying to communicate with me.

“Peas?” I say coyly. Maybe if I try making peace with him he won’t take me to his planet.

He smiles at me.

“yes” he replies.

Oh good, he’s not going to hurt me. He reaches out for my hand again. I take hold of it. His

hands are warm. He gently pulls me into his arms.

“Marik will be so happy” he says.

“Mu-wik? hoo dat?” I say back.

“Somebody who loves you as much as I do”

Oh no, my head feels weird. Everything is getting dark.

Normal POV


“We found the girls!” Bakura announced as he pulled up to the hotel. Marik and Ryou ran to the

car as Bakura parked it.

Ryou ran around and opened the passenger door.

“Are they okay?” he asked nervously, noticing their spacey appearance.

Tany looked up at Ryou quizzically

“I’m here to help you” he assured her.

Marik flung open the back door and saw his dark holding Caroline close to him

“Malik, what’s wrong with her?”

Malik sighed.

“We don’t know. We found them like this. We think they were drugged.”

Caroline looked up at Marik and snuggled closer to Malik.

“No needo!” she squeaked.

Malik scooped her up and carried her out of the car

“No more needles honey, I promise”

Yami, Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan, Duke, Joey, Kaiba, Mokuba

and Odeon all rushed out to the car.

“Are they okay? Kaiba ask seriously.

Bakura shook his head

“No, they were drugged or something.....I think they need a doctor.”

“Right” Kaiba nodded as he called an ambulance. Within minutes the girls were rushed away to

the hospital. Everybody else followed and waited nervously in the waiting room to get word on

their condition.
