Shadow: Hi people! This is my second story and it's meant to be shorter than my first 'illusion' but (shrugs) i don't know. It was going to be a one- shot but (shrugs again) I had some ideas which needed a little more space to come out in....sooo...this is what you get. I tried writing for 'illusion...' but this rubbish came out...so hey! Enjoy! Please don't flame. Flamers are inarticulae bakas who can't write stories of their own.
Oh, yeah....I don't own Yu-gi-oh. If I did you'd all have something to worry about. (evil grin)
Four hours
Chapter 1: Getting along
"I won!"
"You cheated!"
"I don't cheat...unlike some people!"
"I don't cheat!"
"Yeah, right."
"I don't!"
"Liar."
"You're the liar!"
"Speak for yourself, thief."
"That's different."
"How? You steal, cheat and lie."
Shut it, pharoah, or you might just find out some of my other tactics."
"I'd like to see you try."
Yugi groaned. "They're at it again! That's the last time we ever let those two duel! Don't they EVER get tired of fighting?"
His companion looked up from the book he was reading, "No, I don't think so." He said in a quiet voice.
Yugi sighed, "But really Ryou, why can't they just learn to get along? Those two get on with everyone.." Yugi paused and grinned.
Ryou smiled teasingly, "If you include blasting everything that moves to the shadow realm... yes, you could say they get along with everyone. Well... everyone but each other..."
"Hmmm... I wonder how the toaster's getting on in the shadow realm..." Yugi mused.
"The TOASTER?!"
Yugi smirked in a totally un-Yugi-ish way. "Yup, the toaster. "Yami's culinary talents aren't what you'd call wonderful."
The albino laughed. "Poor toaster..."
"BAKA PHAROAH!" A voice yelled from the room next door.
Ryou let out a sigh and dropped the book he hed been trying to read. He glanced at Yugi."We'd better go rescue our yamis before they kill each other."
Yugi gave a defeated nod and climbed up from his seat on the floor. "Sometimes I wish they would kill each other. At least then we'd get some peace and quiet."
Ryou laughed softly. "Come on. If we leave it any longer there will be blood on the carpet."
To emphasise his point a loud thump came from the adjoining room. "OW!" someone shrieked.
"I believe that was Bakura." Yugi stated.
"You think?"
"Okay you two..." Yugi said only to be interrupted
"He started it!" Bakura said.
Yami rolled his eyes. "Sooo mature, aren't we tomb robber? I seem to remember hearing that phrase last from a five-year old."
"Yeah, after you started a fight about whose dummy it was!" Bakura jibed.
Yami smirked. "That's true.We couldn't decide whether the dummy was yours or hers."
"Why you-!" Bakura yelled preparing to lunge at the other spirit.
"That's enough Bakura." Ryou said softly. Yami's smirk grew.
"And from you as well, Yami." added Yugi.
"Wha-? But I didn't-!"
"Enough."
Yami flinched. Yugi appeared to be sweet and docile, but when he used that tone of voice it was wiser to do as he said. He nodded meekly. Yugi directed his gaze at Bakura.
"FINE!" the spirit huffed.
Ryou smiled. "That's better."
There was a long silence.
"Well?" Bakura demanded.
"Welllll...." Yugi trailed off.
"Well what?" Yami asked.
"Pharoah, they obviously called us here to either yell at us, preach or punish us! I'm waiting! I've got better things to do than just stand here!" ranted Bakura.
"You're right." Ryou's voice was quiet.
"Duh."
Yami's voice was cautious. "So what are you two going to do?"
"Nothing."
"Huh?" The spirits were stunned.
Yugi took a deep breath and began to speak. "You two fight like a cat and a dog. It's ridiculous! You need to learn to get along better..."
Bakura looked confused. "And?"
Ryou continued where Yugi left off. "So we-Yugi and I- decided this was how we'd punish you."
"By making us get along?"
"Exactly."
Yami frowned at his light in confusion. "Aibou, I'm still lost. How can you make Bakura and I get along?" He glanced at the thief and muttered, "It's impossible."
Yugi smiled in a way that reminded everyone in the room of Kaiba. "You'll see..." he said silkily.
"Noooooooooo!" Bakura howled. "You can't make me!"
"Aibou, no, please!" Yami pleaded.
"You can't do this to me!!! I have human rights!"
"Yuuuuuuggiiiiiii!" Yami begged. "I'll be good! Just please don't DO THIS TO ME!"
The hikari's shook their heads.
"Maybe this way you'll remember to be good all the time.." Yugi said.
Ryou glanced at his yami. "It's only for four hours."
"But it's four hours with HIM!" Bakura hollered, pointing at the pharoah.
"I'm not looking forward to it either!" Yami said coolly.
Ryou and Yugi had finally revealed what Bakura's and Yami's punishment was to be. The two spirits were to be locked inside a room together-with no t.v, books, gameboys, millenium items and sharp pointy things- for four hours. The darker halves were not thrilled with the idea.
Yugi shook his head, "Should have thought of that before you started the fight."
"But-" Bakura's reply was cut off as the door to the room was slammed shut. There was a click as the key turned in the lock. The yami's looked at each other. The four hours countdown had begun.
Shadow: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! .................OoooO. Random evil laugh. I've been around Bakura too much.....
