Malik's POV all the way (Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh still)

Chap. 1-Ryou

....What was I doing? Oh, right, Ryou dragged me out with him to buy furniture for his house. Dear Ra, why me? Because Bakura had to go on one of his 'outings' and everyone else (yes, even my yami, why the yami???) went on a trip. I think there's something furry on my leg. Am I talking to myself?

No, that's just the rat. ...OH MY RA!! IT'S A RAT!!!

I jump on the table nearest to me and Ryou gives me this you-are-crazy- look, so I glare at him. I like glaring. It's actually pretty funny if you do it right, so I practice a lot at every damn squirrel I see.

My friend that enjoys shopping in huge malls says, "Malik, I think I'm done buying." Is this the same Ryou that spends up to 7 hours a day shopping for clothes, food, and meaningless junk? No, probably not, so because of my quick-witted mind, I stare at him and say, "Who are you?" He then drops his stuff and stares at me with those huge creepy eyes of his. (They look they belong to this guy from my nightmare who kept asking me 'Where's my candy?' and I think I kicked the dude in the nuts...that's not the point)

What happened to the rat?

Oh, right, I'm walking. How did I end up walking? Why am I asking you?? WHO ARE YOU? Gods, I need something to get rid of this headache.

Whoa.am I where I think I am? I think I'm at Ryou's house. He sure has a fast car. I'm going to inspect it. I see Ryou getting all his stuff out of his car (How does he fit all that?), but don't care. Walking over, I notice a pile of dirt. Yes, pile of dirt very nice. Looking closely at the dirt, I inspect some black clumps, and I don't think I wanna know where that came from. Maybe...I shouldn't go near his car. Yeah, seems safer that way.

Ryou has just asked me to help him set up the furniture, and I think there's something scary in his house. Something dark. Something evil. Something like......THAT!! No, wait, that's the couch. THAT!!! Yes, that is it!! The soup on the table that is full of vitamins and minerals and a bunch of other healthy things!! Nooooo!!! Taking quick refuge on the couch that I think is alive, I start staring at the soup. Ryou's giving me that look again.

Ok, is it possible for Ryou to carry a chair? Because I think so not of that.

He starts wobbling over to me with that chair, and I start to think he's going to drop it on me. Instead, he says, "Malik, you mind helping me?!?" Hey, was that an insult? The great strong Malik does not mind anything!! Except for when people mistake me for a girl, very hot water, oversized gloves, and paper cuts. Oh, and this annoying woman that keeps telling me to brush my hair. Who was she again? Oh yeah, my sister, Isis.

Was she supposed to be named after a goddess? I mean, I don't think that's completely fair. She gets the whole goddess of healing or something name and I get Malik! Simple boring Malik that actually means master, or king whatever, in Arabic, but I AM NOT ARABIC!! For those of you who think I am, I'm pretty sure the show makes it obvious that I am indeed Egyptian. Egyptian heritage after all. How hard is that to understand? I mean, Arabic??? Come on!! Do Arabics write in hieroglyphics?!?

......What was I doing?

"Malik!! Help me carry this stuff right now!!"

......Oh yeah!

I carry a table from the front of the door as Ryou finishes placing that chair he was carrying. I ask him, "Where am I supposed to put this?" He simply answers, "In the corner."

Placing it in the corner, he (like many cartoons) says, "No, a little to the right," so I put it in the right. "No, maybe more to the left." Ok, moving it to the left. "Little more...little more...perfect."

Sighing, I put the table down and, just when I was about to sit on the couch, he says, "I think we should put it upstairs."
