It's All Business
By: K.L. Kat
All was silent in Domino City, Japan. Well, it was as silent as morning could be, which wasn't very silent, according to a particular neighborhood.
CRASH!!!!
Oh dear, I wonder what could be wrong now?
"STOP!!" "MAKE ME!" was the cries of a certain household. Ryou Bakura sure had a handful dealing with his Yami. "STOP PLAYING WITH THE KNIFE!" "NO!!!"
Ryou: Yami, I can't deal with you right now! I'm supposed to meet Yugi at his house!
Bakura: The shrimp and the stupid pharaoh?
Ryou: Well, I wasn't going to use those particular words, but yes. (-__-)
Bakura: I really hope you're not expecting me to come with you.
Ryou: Actually—
Bakura: NO!
Ryou: Please?
Bakura: No
Ryou: But—
Bakura: No
Ryou: You're not letting me finish—
Bakura: No
Ryou: I'm taking the coffee with me.
Bakura: …Fine
Ryou POV
I can't believe my yami! What is it with coffee? Does he enjoy just popping out at me at random intervals at nighttime when I have to go to the bathroom? Is that why he consumes inhumanly amounts of coffee? Well, technically he's not even human! (-__-) Well, at least I got him to go along! (^__^)
Bakura POV
Great. Now he threatens the coffee. I have to drink it. How else can I gain satisfaction without popping out at Ryou at night when he has to go to the bathroom? (^__^) I guess it's an acquired taste. Wait. I don't even need to sleep! Why do I have to drink coffee? Now I have to visit the pharaoh and his vertically-challenged hikari. At least I get to torture them all when I get there! (^__^)
Meanwhile, at a certain spiky-haired, vertically-challenged boy's house…
Yugi: Come on Yami! Ryou and Bakura will be here any minute.
Yami: GREAT! Now I know that I have to get out NOW!
Yugi: Don't be so paranoid. Bakura's fine now.
Yami: (0__0) FINE? Yugi, Bakura's ANYTHING but close to sane.
Yugi: (*__*) Sheesh, you didn't have to yell.
At the Kaiba Mansion
Soft typing could be heard from a dimly-lit room. Seto Kaiba was busily composing an e-mail on his beloved laptop. Fingers flew with grace and ease, as if knowing their exact jobs.
SETO POV
Seto: Hmmm. So this company in America needs my help, does it? Well, what else is new?
(-__-)
What does everyone want from me? I'm just a busy teen. Who happens to be a billionaire. Who happens to have his own company. Who happens to extremely rich, intelligent, and talented. (^__^)
Well, it's not really as if I can back out of this. Damn reporters already found out and sniffed their ugly noses at new pieces. Now they're claiming that this whole thing is for charity, and it would be a shame if the great Seto Kaiba didn't give out his services. Great. What am I? Santa Clause? (-__-)
He scanned the e-mail again. His eyes fell on a piece of important information. They needed some more people in his company to go down and examine the efficiency of the company. Seto grinned. He had just the people.
OVER AT YUGI'S HOUSE
Yami stood silently next to his other half as they sat down in the living room waiting for their friends. Correction friend. Yami refused to consider Bakura a friend.
DING DONG!
Yami jumped and blinked, edging further away from the
door. Yugi sighed and answered the "offending" piece of wood.
Yugi: Hey Ryou! Bakura…Come on in!
Ryou greeted his friend warmly, but Bakura just silently walked past and glared at the yami.
Bakura: Pharaoh…
Yami: Tomb Robber…
Yugi and Ryou: (-__-;)
Bakura: I haven't seen you in a long time; you look uglier…or is that even possible?
Ryou: Yami! Be nice. Yugi and Yami were kind enough to invite us today, so BEHAVE!!
Yami glared at the insult and decided to retaliate.
Yami: Same to you, Tomb Robber, although I seriously doubt that that painting your hair white will increase your chance of looking like snow. To me, you'll always look like an sniveling, albino weasel!
Ryou: (O__O) We look the same! (He mumbled to Yugi)
Yugi: Don't worry Ryou, he wasn't insulting you. Just your exact look-alike.
Ryou: Oh, thanks Yugi (^__^)…wait. My exact look-alike? (-__-;)
Bakura: So pharaoh, is your brain on stop or go? Because due to the poor quality of your insults, I think I know which one it is.
Yami: At least my brain goes at all, stupid tomb robber.
Bakura: Are you sure about that? I'd recheck if I were you.
Yami: Someone needs their drug dosage.
Yugi and Ryou: STOP! BOTH OF YOU!
Bakura and Yami: (O__O)
Yugi: Yami, I'm ashamed! You're supposed to be a great pharaoh! I expected you to act like a mature adult when Ryou and Bakura came over. Now I can see that I was wrong.
Yami: (Looking ashamed) I'm sorry Yugi.
Bakura: (^__^) Shot down by a midget!
Ryou: And you! I told you what would happen if you didn't behave, so unless you want your coffee, you're going to have to be nice. Now apologize to Yami.
Bakura: Fine. I'm s-s-s-sorry…(muttering) stupid pharaoh.
Yami: I accept your apology (muttering) stupid tomb robber.
Yugi and Ryou: (-__-)
Oh yes. It was going to be a LONG afternoon.
Kaiba looked out his window. How was he going to announce to the public that he was going to go down to a factory down in America with select "friends" if the "friends" didn't even know what was going on?
He pondered the question, but decided. Yugi and his friends were always jumping to help out for the greater good. Wasn't this the greater good? So with that thought in mind, he decided to hold a little meeting for Yugi and his friends to "discuss" their new plans for the break.
He got out his little directory and got out his phone.
Hmmm…M's, M's, M's…aha! Motou, Yugi…
And so their new adventure began.
How was it? This is my very first attempt at writing fanfiction, so any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
