This little idea hit me while talking about Faeries with my friends. So, before I forgot, I jotted it down, and now you must read it! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAA! *Ahem* so...no ads in this one, just the chapters, kinda like 'Quit It!' So...here's chapter one!

Chapter One: Arrival from Egypt

Malik Ishtar exited the plane he had arrived on, and emerged into the Domino City International Airport. He walked into a slew of strange people, looking for a familiar face. He spotted it almost instantly, the shock of white hair standing out in the crowd. The owner of the hair turned, the two made eye contact, and the white-haired boy took off running to Malik.
"MALIK!"
"Ryou!!"
Malik started running and didn't stop until Ryou was safe in his embrace. The two shared a quick kiss, and didn't let go for almost five minutes. Malik breathed in Ryou, for he had had fun in Egypt, he had missed his boyfriend horribly. The two separated, took hands, and went off to find Malik's luggage. The picked up Malik's luggage, talking and catching up all the time, and they slowly made their way back out to Ryou's car. They threw Malik's suitcase into the trunk, and Malik's small carry-on in the back seat, and pulled out of the parking lot. They stopped at Malik's apartment, so he could resettle into his home. Ryou and Malik carried all the stuff into the apartment, and once done, the two flopped down on the bed. Malik wrapped his arms around Ryou and kissed him gently on the cheek.
"I missed you baby," he murmured, running his fingers through Ryou's soft hair.
"I missed you too. It gets lonely when my boyfriend is gone for three months."
"Mmm." Malik had gone to Egypt to see extended family on his mother's side, for he preferred to avoid his dad's side of the family for obvious reasons. He also went to study Egyptian Wicca with his family, as his mother's side had practiced it for generations, and Malik had been feeling rather lost in his self-study.
"So, how is everybody back there?"
"Normal."
"Okay."
"Yeah. They all missed me."
"I can imagine." Ryou rolled over and snuggled into Malik. Malik held him close, almost as if he didn't want to let Ryou get away.
A banging sound could be heard, and then a loud voice.
"Alright? Where's the psycho?"
"Bakura." Malik muttered. He got up, taking Ryou with him. Malik was greeted with a headlock from Bakura.
"Hey!" he laughed, while Bakura spun him around. Bakura grinned. "Say it!" he said.
"NO!"
"SAY IT!"
Malik struggled, and shot a giggling Ryou an evil look, which made him giggle even more. "Okay, okay! I was originally a girl!"
"And?"
"And...and...I wear a tiara in my sleep!"
Bakura released Malik, and greeted him with a friendly hug. "Aah! Good to see you're back! We all missed you, and the neighborhood's been much too quiet, as well as Ryou's room," he said, shooting a wink in his aibou's direction.
Ryou turned a bright red. "Bakura!"
"Well, it's true, don't deny it." Bakura took a step back to look at his friend.
A lot had changed that year. Malik and Ryou had fallen for each other after getting stuck in a KaibaCorp elevator, and had started to see each other, which later turned into a serious relationship. A few months later Malik had received a letter from an aunt inviting him to come to Egypt, for the reasons stated before, and he had had his doubts, afraid that the new relationship wouldn't last a three month absence. Ryou urged him to go, and promised he'd write him, and when it could be afforded, call him. With many tears, hugs, and kisses, Malik left for Egypt. Upon his return Bakura noticed changes in his old friend. Spending three months in the scorching desert had deepened Malik's tan, and bleached his hair even lighter. It was almost white. He'd even grown a few inches. Aside from physical changes, Malik looked more peaceful with himself, and more calm. The three of them went into the living room and spent the rest of the day catching up on what Malik had missed, and Malik's trip to Egypt.

In Malik's bedroom, a zipper to his carry-on opened. A small fairy climbed out of the bag. She was tanned, and had bleach blonde hair that reaches slightly past her shoulders, and purple eyes. Her ears were pointed, and gold ankh earrings hung from them. She had a small set of fangs. She wore a purple dress, and had translucent purple wings. She also lacked any grace, for as soon as she got one foot up, she fell out of the bag and onto the floor.
"OUCH!" she yelled. "That freaking smarts!"
"Then maybe you should take some lessons in not being a klutz," another tiny voice said.
She stuck her tongue out at the face that popped up. "Is it safe down there?" The face said.
"Yeah. They're not in here."
"Okay." The face disappeared into the bag. "Come on out, guys!"
All at once about twenty faeries climbed and flew out of the bag. Another faery walked up to the purple faery. She had pale skin, and soft brown eyes. Her silver hair reached the middle of her back. She wore a light blue shiny dress, and had silver wings. She wore a silver anklet, and a silver choker. Like the tanned faery, her ears were pointed and she had small fangs.
"Tell me again why we are here, Lavender?" the blue faery asked.
"That's simple, Rayana. We're here because our current ring is a tad overpopulated, and Seth took interest in expanding. He figured Malik's place would be a good place to set up a new colony."
"Why Malik?" Rayana twiddled her thumbs.
"Because Malik has the perfect personality for us! He has loads of silliness! And he's sweet, and he loves his Ryou so much..." Lavender spun around. "You'll like Ryou. He's sweet, and he's innocent."
"But he's done...you know." Rayana said. She stared at the floor. Another faery walked up to Rayana and put his arms around her waist. He was tanned, like Lavender. His dark purple eyes had an exotic slant, and he had bleached, spiky hair that went every-which-way. He word dark Purple pants, and a gold necklace, gold hoop earrings, and gold armbands on his arms. His wings were gold, and his fangs were more pronounced than Lavender's or Rayana's. (A/N: If you haven't guessed already they all have fangs and pointed ears. ^_^) Rayana snuggled up to him.
"That doesn't mean he lost all of his innocence, my dear," said the male faery. He leaned her head back and kissed the top of her forehead. "Innocence isn't the same as ignorance, or being sheltered. Innocence is the sign of a pure soul."
"Oh, Maku, I didn't realize..." said Rayana.
"You have a lot to learn, love," he said, and he scooped up Rayana into his arms and carried her up to the bed. The other faeries followed suit. "We have all we need here. Innocence, silliness, and open minds. There's lots of shiny objects, and sweets. This will be a nice, safe place to live." He set her down.
"Okay," I'll tell our majesty Yoriko we are staying, and we may as well make ourselves at home," Lavender said. The faeries flew off and found places to settle into.
Three faeries flew off into the hallway, and into the kitchen, remaining invisible to the three humans on the couch in the living room. The first faery was pale in complexion, and, like Rayana, had silver hair, and his was more spiky than hers. He wore a silver stud in each ear, and wore dark blue pants and a white tank shirt. the edges of the arms and collar were rough, as if someone forgot to hem the shirt. He had dark brown eyes, which had a mischievous glint, and they were slanted, almost almond-shaped. His wings were a dark silver. He flew over to some cupboards and pulled at the handle. It refused to open, and his lost his grip and flew backwards, and managed to fall into a cup of cold coffee that sat on the counter. Coffee splashed all over the mug and counter.
"Ick!" he screeched. "Just my luck. Now I have to take a bath." he grumbled. He noticed a pitcher of water nearby, and flew out of the mug and into the pitcher of water. He splashed around a bit, and when he was clean, he flew to the paper towels, pulled one off, and dried himself with it. He snuck behind the coffee pot and stripped, and hung his clothing behind the pot to dry. He tore off a dry piece of the paper towel and wrapped it around his waist. Satisfied, he continued back up to the cupboard, and noticed there was a lock by the handle. He flew down to the counter again, and noticed a box of toothpicks by the stove. He opened the box and took out a toothpick, and flew back up to the cupboard. After sticking the toothpick into the lock, he fiddled around, and the cupboard door flew open. He ducked out of the way in time to avoid being hit, and flew inside.
He looked around, and found a few bottles of wine, some whiskey, and some vodka.
"Alright!" he cheered. "We got booze!"
He shifted a bit, and the towel fell off his waist, which happened to be the time Lavender looked into the cupboard.
"Huh?" she looked into the cupboard, and found the faery wearing no clothes.
"Oh Kuna!" She shrieked. "EEEW! That's so gross! Now it's burned into my mind!"
"Sor-ry." Kuna hissed. He picked the towel back up and wrapped it around his waist, tying it at the end to make sure it didn't fall off again. "Since when do you care about nudity?"
"Since I had nightmares the last time I caught you like this!" She grimaced.
"Awww..." Kuna flew up to her. "We got booze." He gestured to the bottles of wine and vodka.
Lavender's eyes widened. "SWEET! Come on! We have to go tell the others!" She grabbed his hand, and the two flew back to Malik's bedroom. Kuna fought back the blush that creeped up in his face.
The rest of the day the faeries inspected the house, and settled in to their new home. Bakura went home, but not before slipping a condom in Ryou's back pocket, much to poor Ryou's embarrassment. Ryou and Malik went straight to bed, Malik being tired from the traveling back to Domino City, and readjusting to a different time zone. Nobody saw the coffee stains on the counter, or the damp paper towel beside the coffee pot.
