Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Gi oh or "And Then There Were None." By Agatha Christie. Anything that resembles another's work is not mine.

Summary: Based on the book by Agatha Christie. Ten people are invited to an island for what seems to be a harmless vacation. But when people start dying, can they find the murderer before they are all dead? Character Deaths!

Based on Agatha Christie's novel, "And Then There Were None." I changed some things, like the ending and the poem.

Chapter One.

Today was the day!

A sleek yacht set out from Japan's harbor, heading towards a privately owned island some fifty miles out. Aboard the ship was multi-billionaire Seto Kaiba, having been persuaded to act as transport in this. With him on the ship were ten others, all invited by a vague person that he was inviting them to his island for a visit, and he was a great fan of their exploits in Japan.

The passengers were:

Yami and Yugi Motou.

Joey and Serenity Wheeler.

Duke Devilen (sp?)

Tristan Taylor

Mai Valentine

Malik Ishtar

Ryou Bakura

Tea Gardner

Kaiba had agreed to take them there because he had gotten tired of their whining and pleading. So, they were on their way.

"Oh, I'm excited, Yami!" Yugi cried, staring out of the large window of his and Yami's cabin. Yami walked over and looked out as well.

"Yes, we could use a vacation." Yami answered.

He looked at the note they had received.

"Dear Mr. And Mr. Motou,

I wish to say I have been greatly impressed with your dueling skills, and wish to invite you to my home on the Dreerdary Island. You may bring your friends if you like. Choose eight other people to come along.

Sincerely,

Karu."

Whoever this "Karu" was, he did seem impressed with them. They had invited their friends and were anxiously waiting the time they would land and see the man who had invited them.

(On another part of the yacht.)

"Are you excited?" Tea breathed. Imagine! On an island for a whole week! Her roommate, Mai Valentine, laughed.

"Yes, I can't wait. The sun and nature, the ocean on all sides! It shall prove a lot of fun." Mai said, tossing blonde hair over her shoulder.

Tea smiled and nodded.

(In another cabin)

"So what do you think you'll do first, Joey?" Tristan Taylor asked, drinking a coke.

"Hmmm.......I'll probably see what's to eat." Joey said, brown eyes sparkling with excitement.

Joey's little sister, Serenity, was sitting nearby, and staring out at the waves. Beside her sat Duke Devilen.

The only two unaccounted for was Malik Ishtar and Ryou Bakura.

(At the front of the yacht.)

"So what do you think this island will be like?" Ryou asked his friend.

The Egyptian leaned back and frowned slightly, purple eyes staring at some random spot.

"I think it will be a surprise. I get a feeling that not all will be well." He said softly. He shook his head. "I've been around Isis too long. Sorry, Ryou. Probably just nerves." He grinned as his friend, who smiled back.

Malik's sister Isis was adept at receiving visions and telling the future.

"Yeah, it will probably be entertaining."

They reached the island, and Kaiba dropped them off and sped away, saying he had work to do and he was tired of wasting time on them.

The island wasn't as fantastic as they thought it would be. It was basically barren rock with tall cliffs on almost all sides, with only a little shoreline, which is where they were dropped off at.

However, nestled up in the cliffs was a magnificent white house, large windows evident even from this distance.

"Well, where's our host?" Mai wondered.

"Look, there!" Yugi pointed. A man was walking along the shore towards them.

He approached them and bowed his head slightly.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Karu is away for the moment, but he left me instructions to get you settled into the house. I have to be back to the mainland by dark, though, so let's hurry, hmm?" He said briskly, and began to walk away.

"Wait! What's your name?" Ryou called out.

"My name? It's Umbra. My partner Lumis is currently readying your rooms. Now, come along." He said, and walked off again.

"Ooookaay." Joey said, and there were chuckles from most of the group.

The group walked up steps that were hewn from stone, and it was a long climb. Joey was whining by the time they reached the top, and all were sweating.

But it was worth it. Another man was waiting by the elegant doors of the mansion, and something about his gravity assured them. And then the house itself was really most attractive, the view from the balconies and the rail magnificent.

The man, who they took to be Lumis, gestured.

"Would you come this way? We can drop your bags off at your rooms and there are drinks in the Hall." He led them away.

Tea followed Lumis upstairs, and thought on how odd it was for their host to be gone the day they arrived. Must have been something urgent......

"If you would wait here, I will show you to your designated rooms." Lumis said. "May the three ladies come with me?" He asked Tea, Mai, and Serenity. They followed him to the end of the long, elegant hallway that was carpeted in deep, crimson carpet with soft cream wallpaper and dark mahogany wood framing the small tables and picture frames.

At the end of the hall were three bedrooms. One on the right, one on the left, and one straight ahead.

"You may choose which you would like. I hope all are to your satisfaction." Lumis said, and went to go get the others settled in.

Tea opened the door into a delightful bedroom with a big window that opened wide upon the sea and another looking east.

She dropped her bags onto the bed, and began exploring. There was a small dresser, with a ornate mirror. There was a closet, the king sized bed, the windows and a small bookcase. There were lovely pictures of the sea on her walls and a window seat by the east window.

She was delighted.

(Later.)

Later that evening, after they were through exploring their rooms and the house and were unpacked, the two men left on their small boat as darkness fell and the others, now alone in the house, went to dinner.

Ryou and Tea, knowing how to cook, made up the dinner with supplies found in the well-stocked pantry.

There was a babble of voices as the friends chatted about their delight.

"My room has a balcony! It looks right over the sea!"

"The bed is so comfortable!"

"I have a mini fridge in mine!"

"They evidently knew about your midnight snacks, eh Joey?"

"Why you – "

"Yeah, they didn't want you to get lost in the house!"

There was laughter and cheerful talk.

"Hey guys, look at this!" Tea called. Everyone stood up and went to see what she was talking about. Ryou poked his head out of the spacious kitchen.

"It's a poem. But one like I've never heard before! Listen,

Ten little kids went out to dine;

One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little kids stayed up late;

One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little kids up until eleven;

One decides to leave and then there are seven.

Seven little kids chopping up sticks;

One cut himself and then there were six.

Six little kids playing with the hive;

A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little kids playing on the shore;

One slips and falls and then there were four.

Four little kids going out to sea;

A fish swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little kids walking in the Zoo;

A big bear hit one and then there were two.

Two little kids get tired of the fun;

One hangs himself and then there is one.

One little kid all by himself;

It seems he gets all the wealth."

Tea finished reading.

"That's an odd poem." Serenity agreed. "I wonder what it means?"

"I don't know. But I do know I'm hungry! Come on, we'll go eat then worry about the meaning of a silly poem." Tristan said, waving the rhyme off as useless.

They all sat down to eat, talking once more.

They retired to their rooms after dinner, saying goodnights. Some wandered into each other's rooms, but there was little in the way of actual action going on.

(Next morning.)

The next morning, they awoke to the smell of bacon.

They dressed and wandered down to the kitchen to see if their host was back yet.

Ryou was in the kitchen, hair tied back to keep it out of his way. He moved about, cooking eggs, hash browns, bacon, biscuits, and toast.

The table was already set and each had a choice of milk or juice.

"I take it we don't have a host yet?" Yami asked as he sat down and poured himself some juice.

"No. When I woke up, the house was just as empty as before." Ryou said, bringing in the food and dishing it out.

"So why didn't Bakura come?" Yugi asked.

"Oh, he didn't want too. Something about a project with Marik, and I didn't want to ask farther." Ryou said, shaking his head at his yami's antics.

"Oh."

The rest of breakfast went without mishap.

They wandered the house, admiring the view from the different windows and the fancy furniture.

As they wandered the house, they called out if they found anything interesting. As they were easily amused, there was a lot of shouting.

"I found a library! Talk about a lot of books! Ryou, you can spend all your time in here and be entertained for months!"

"Hey! There's a stairway leading up to that balcony we saw on the roof but couldn't figure out how to get too!"

"Another pantry! Tons of chocolate in this one! Too bad Bakura wasn't here!"

"A game room!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! They have pool!"

"A garden! Look at the pretty flowers!"

And so on.

They had sandwiches for lunch, with the chocolate from the pantry Ryou had found. They ate out on the roof balcony that Tristan had discovered. It was nice and breezy up there in the hot day, and they had a beautiful view of the ocean.

"I wonder where our host is? Surely he would have left a not or something!" Serenity mused.

"Don't worry, sis! We'll be fine here! There's a lot of stuff to do! Come on, Duke! I challenge you to a game of pool after lunch!" Joey called over to where Duke was sitting by Yami.

"You're on!" Duke yelled back.

They went down and cheered on the two as they went at it, and soon all were playing the various games there.

"This Karu guy thought of everything, didn't he?" Joey said as they tromped upstairs.

"Yeah, he sure did. Come on! I want a drink, let's go!"

The group of ten gathered into the Hall. It was actually a parlor that was longer one way than it was another.

Tristan and Ryou brought in drinks, and they set about drinking while Yami and Yugi dueled on the soft beige carpet.

About half way through the duel, Duke began choking on his drink.

"Hey, Duke, don't drink so fast." Joey called out, and Duke shook his head as he coughed, red-faced.

"Duke? You alright?" Ryou asked anxiously.

Tristan pounded on Duke's back, but the other boy gasped for air and coughed still, clutching his throat.

He gave a final gasp and dropped to the ground.

"OH MY GOD!" Tea shrieked.

"He's................" Yugi whispered.

"Dead." Malik confirmed, feeling for a pulse.

End Chapter.

Good? Continue?

Remember, there will be deaths.
