Chapter One: I'll follow you to the ends of the world!
Silently the post man approached the mail box in front of the apartment. With great effort he lifted the lid without a sound and slid the envelopes and junk mail in, and as an after thought, smashed it in with his fingers to make sure the lid would fit back down. The lid was set back- a snug fit- and the red flag was raised.
"THE MAIL IS HERE!" cried an over joyous voice from inside. Malik dashed from the couch, were he was secretly lurking to burst out the door. "THANK YOU MR. POSTMAN!" However, he was already gone – dived off the railing - , seeing as that boy scared the daylights of the elderly man. Pawing through the mail he returned inside, "Junk, junk, junk," which he smashed between his arm and side to hold it secure, "Bill…" – tossed behind, "And, a letter for Ishizu… from Bakura?" Odion intercepted the falling bill as he entered from the open door, groceries in hand. "Malik, Ishizu doesn't like the door open, it lets in flies," Odion gently reminded and he pushed the door shut.
Malik, however, had his nose buried in the ads, "Check it out! Three for one ice cream at Brown's Market!" Odion grinned, shaking his head while putting the groceries away. "And! A coupon for free turkey if you get over 150 $ of food. Wow," Malik continued flipping through the ad pamphlets, being easily amused. As he did so the letter from Bakura fell to the floor. Odion stooped to pick it up and placed it on the fridge under a magnet for Ishizu. She was still at the museum doing her curating stuff. They had moved to Egypt, but Ishizu quickly missed her friends in Japan, so they moved back. Fortunately, she got her old job back too.
Once the ads were magnificently pilfered and spread about Malik returned to watching TV, a box of Yugi-O's from the Sugary Sugar brand cereal nestled close beside him. Ever since Yugi became the King of Games over and over again, the marketing industry realized how valuable he'd be. Malik crunched some sugary cereal shaped poorly like Yugi's head, millennium puzzle, and Dark Magician's staff. He happily spoiled his dinner for the next three hours.
"Sighhh," Ishizu said, stepping through the door and dropping her bag to the floor. She'd worked all day over seeing the installment of some new 'artifacts' from Egypt. "Malik," she moaned at the sight of the mess, "Clean this up." But he was too busy watching TV, "I will later sis!" Ishizu carefully stepped her way into the kitchen, Odion was preparing a meal of Mac 'n' Cheez with hot dog chunks in it – some American food that was cheap at the store – then she noticed the envelope on the fridge. "From Ryou?" she asked aloud, and smiled. He was the real reason she returned to Japan. After she left, she realized how much she had actually liked him. So, once they returned she vowed to get to know him. For the past four months she's 'unofficially' been his girlfriend.
Her agile fingers tore open the sealing on the back and ripped the letter out. "Dear Sweet Ishizu," the letter began, and for a good portion of it complemented her looks and personality. Finally towards the end announced the real reason for sending the letter: Bakura was moving…to Canada to fulfill his dream of being a LUMBERJACK!
