They had no idea where Malik and Bakura were.
"Well, now what are we supposed to do?" wondered Hiro. "It couldn't have been the curse. It's only Thursday."
Yuki was leaning against the wall, smoking, and ShuChan was at his side, crying rivers. Yuki grew sick of this. "Why are you crying..."
"Oh, Yuki! I'm so scared!"
No enthusiasm: "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine..."
"You're so sweet, but I'm not worried about me! It'll just be so horrible if Sadako gets you and destroys your beautiful face!"
KSan walked up and shoved a handgun into ShuChan's arms. "Be a man. We're going after Sadako."

To avoid the crowds, Bakura snuck under the bleachers to watch the duel through slots beneath the benches.
If Yugi loses, I'll step in.
They began the duel with 8,000 life points each and Yugi went first. He drew, and eyed the blonde over his cards. Jouno was smiling, and chuckling to himself. Then he gasped. "Wait one minute!"
Yugi frowned. "What is it?"
"What is it," growled Anzu, "You gonna forfeit already?" She'd all but forgotten her earlier injury, and ignored the bandage on her head.
"Do you have the god cards in your deck?"
Yugi brought them out of the case he kept slung around his hips, and held them up for all to see. A wave of ooohs rose from the crowd.
Jouno stabbed the counter with his finger. "Add them to your deck right now."
Yugi blinked. "What?"
The audience started cheering, and Keiko was on the sidelines.
"Well, viewers, it looks like this will not be an easy win for Yugi's challenger, who, I'm told, has been identified as Battle City runner-up Jouno Wheeler! Mr. Wheeler has just ordered Yugi Mutou to add all three Egyptian God cards to his dueling deck! Is he a master duelist, or a fool? We'll find out as the duel unfolds!"
He added the three cards and shuffled anew, keeping eye contact with Jouno. "Are you that arrogant?"
"Ha! You're nothing to me, Little Yugi. I doubt you even know how to make the best use of those cards. Everyone knows you're the twerp, the worthless one, serving only as a conduit for the Pharaoh's soul. I want a challenge-- well, as much of a challenge as you can offer, so you'd better duel as if your life depended on it, because it does!"
o o o
It took quite a while for Mrs. Yoshikawa to answer the door. She was very happy to see that Fluffy was alright.
"Oh! Fluffy! Come in, come in!" She led Fluffy and KSan into the parlor. "I was so worried that you might've gotten hurt in that explosion, then you weren't calling... Oh, I'm so glad you're alright. Here, have some nice candy."
They each took a piece of chocolate to be polite, and ate with limited enthusiasm. Mrs. Yoshikawa beamed across the kotatsu at them. "And everyone else is alright, yes?"
"Yeah, we're staying at a hotel for the time being. So, has anyone ever been brutally murdered and buried here?" Fluffy smiled politely, showing all his craggy teeth.
o o o
Ryou's house was empty.
Ryou took off his coat and hung it up out of force of habit. "He must've gone on another archaelogical dig."
Hiro and ShuChan looked around. The house looked pretty normal. Sunlight filtered in, brightening the place.
"Well, there's an attic and a basement. Where should we look first?"
"In the movie, the well is under them, so, I guess, the basement."
o o o
Yugi pointed dramatically at Jouno: "Once I've won this duel, you will return the millennium items to me, and leave Joey's body!" He looked at his first card. "I summon 'Gazelle, King of Mythical Beasts' in defense mode!"
Jouno rolled his eyes and drew. "Yeah, I really didn't see that coming. Gazelle, Dark Magicians, Magnet Warriors... I know your pathetic strategies by heart."
He looked at his card, then sneered at Yugi. "I play 'Graceful Charity'." He drew three cards, then discarded two. "I summon 'Cure Mermaid' in attack mode! Destroy that lame gazelle!"
The cute pink mermaid lunged, and the gazelle vanished in a cloud of digital confetti. She then returned to her side of the field and joined her master.
"See, Yugi? You made a big mistake challenging me. You're nothing. The only real duelist was Yami, and I already killed him!"
o o o
He felt like banging his head against the wall.
Instead, Malik huddled in the corner of the surveillance room, knees drawn up, elbows resting upon them, head reclined to touch the wall. He stared at the ceiling, his eyes forlorn, his mind full of useless thoughts.
I'm such an idiot. I thought I was over you. But then Fluffy told me he'd kissed you, and all my old infatuations came tumbling out from some dark closet in the back of my mind. Your silver hair, your cold, catlike eyes, your pale skin... Did you always look like that? No, I bet your skin was dark in Ancient Egypt, like mine.
He turned to his side and lowered his head, hugging himself. I have to stop this. I can't force him to love me.
No. He responded to me. He kissed me back. He held me.
A girl's voice: "He does love me."
Malik sat up and looked at the door. The only light in the room came from the bank of moniters. The hallway was filled with piss-yellow flourescent light that hummed like a housefly.
Looking at the doorway, Malik suddenly remembered The Ring. He became preoccupied with the image of a housefly walking along the surface, making the symbol for infinity.
Is it just some random thought, or was it put there by her?
He felt like he should go into the hallway. Mindset smoother and quieter now, he slowly got to his feet and shuffled to the doorway. He stopped just before his feet reached the threshold, and leaned forward, craning his head out into the hallway.
He looked to the left, and nothing was there. Then he looked to his right--
Something large came swinging out of the ceiling, gray, the size and shape of a van. It struck Malik and he fell backwards into the security room, a blood spurting stump where his head once had been.
o o o
Bakura's throat suddenly tightened, and he wondered if something had happened to Ryou.
He was sitting on a cheap wooden bench underneath the bleachers, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees. Now he sat straighter, and turned to look over his shoulder...
He saw a black and white image of himself turning to look over his shoulder, much like Anna Morgan did in the movie. He had the same cold, distant look in his eyes. He heard static.
He gasped, and was suddenly standing a few feet behind the bench.
He looked at the empty bench, heard the cheers of the crowd. He walked towards the bench and slowly, cautiously reached out.
Instantly, someone materialized sitting below his reach. Someone who looked like him. A cold, clammy hand slapped down over his and a voice spoke, a weak, demonic voice that seemed to have no point of origin:
"You or your hikari must die."
o o o
He fell to the floor, screaming and thrashing about. "No! No! No!"
Slowly, Malik caught his breath and realized it had been a trick, some sort of illusion. Looking up, he saw the blonde girl standing in the doorway, wearing a frilly Victorian dress and hugging a teddy bear.
She laughed gaily. "You're funny."
He wanted to run and grab her, shake the hell out of her for scaring him so badly. He leaned forward on his hands and knees, not wanting to scare her off or provoke her. "Tell me who you are."
"I... am Seto Kaiba's wife." She giggled.
o o o
Yugi's hand trembled as he drew--
"Hold it. My turn's not done yet. I place four cards facedown."
Yugi's eyes widened. Four? He stared down at the new holograms that appeared on the field.
Jouno appraised his hand, then smiled and nodded, indicating that Yugi could go now.
"Hm. I draw..." He looked over his cards. Four facedown cards. I'm sure one of them must be something horribly powerful, like 'Mirror Force' or 'Bell of Destruction'! But I have to try!
"I activate 'Brain Control' to take control of your 'Cure Mermaid'!"
Jouno growled as 'Brain Control's hands reached across the field and pulled her away.
"And now I'll sacrifice her to bring forth 'Summoned Skull'!" The monstrous creature burst forth with an ungodly screech.
Jouno's eyes narrowed. "You little shit! You sacrificed my adorable 'Cure Mermaid' to summon that butt-ugly thing? You're gonna pay for that!"
"I don't think so, you fiend! Go, 'Summoned Skull'! Attack his life points directly!"
Anzu jumped two feet into the air. "Yeah, Yugi! Do it!"
Jouno smirked. "Activate trap! 'Gravity Bind'!"
The Summoned Skull stopped short and returned to Yugi's side without attacking. "As long as 'Gravity Bind' is on the field, only monsters level 3 or lower are allowed to attack. Nice try, Yug'."
Anzu bared her teeth and snarled, "You creep! You think some puny trap card's gonna stop Yugi?"
"Shut up, Bitch. The only reason I've let you live this long is, I can't decide what to do to you." His pitbull barked at Anzu, strings of saliva flying from its mouth. She 'eeped' and sank towards the sidelines behind Yugi.
"And now I'll activate another trap. 'Solemn Wishes'. Now I'll gain 500 life points every time I draw."
Yugi went lax and shook his head. "I end my turn."
Jouno drew, and his life points went up to 8,500. "I summon 'Fire Princess' in defense mode!" A girl in a lacy orange gown appeared, archery bow in hand. "Now, I'll play 'Pot of Greed'."
Jouno drew, and his life points rose again, to 9,000. Then Yugi's life points sank to 7,500.
Anzu's mouth fell open. "What just happened?"
Yugi didn't look surprised. "It's 'Fire Princess's special ability. Every time Jouno gains life points, I'll lose 500 life points."
Jouno was very pleased. "That's right, and she's got a defense of 1500, so you can't destroy her. Now, I'll use 'Monster Reborn'! Return to me, 'Cure Mermaid'!"
The pink mermaid reappeared, next to 'Fire Princess'. "They both are level 4, so they can't attack. I'll end my turn now."
Yugi drew. "I summon 'Big Shield Gardna' in defense mode, and switch 'Summoned Skull' to defense mode as well. I'll place one card facedown and end my turn."
Anzu was disappointed. Come on, Yugi! Make one of those big plays you're so good at!
Jouno drew. His LP rose to 9,500, and Yugi's sank to 7,000. Then Jouno's points rose again, to 10,300, and Yugi's went down to 6,500.
Jouno smiled ear to ear. "Don't they make a great team? My 'Cure Mermaid' gives me 800 LP during my standby phase, and my 'Fire Princess' subtracts 500 of your life points. They're opposites that work well together." He slapped down a new card. "Say hello to my second 'Fire Princess'!"
"Oh no! Yugi!"
"I'm still not done. Now I'll play 'Graceful Charity'!"
The crowd was cheering Jouno's name.
Keiko plugged one ear with her free hand. "Jouno's only on his third turn, and his life points are at 10,800, while Yugi Mutou's are a measly 5,500! The previously lesser known duelist is playing flawlessly!"
o o o
"What I want is so simple."
Bakura started and half-spun. There stood Malik, tears rolling down his face. "I want you to love me!"
Bakura swallowed. "Now's not the time, you idiot. Yugi is losing."
"Of course he's losing." Malik encroached quickly, forcing Bakura backwards until his head bumped into one of the wooden slats.
"Any fool knows you don't trifle with the dead." He leaned closer and got right in Bakura's face. Sweat popped out on Bakura's skin. Malik had pitted and rotting flesh, with milky white eyes.
"We've got nothing to lose."
