Chapter 2: Malik's House, Ryou's House, and yami's on Fire

Yugi made his way to Malik's house and knocked on the door.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" someone inside the house screamed.

"Marik, calm down… Hold still dammit!" yelled Malik.

Yugi was looking very scared at the screaming that was going on inside and the familiar aroma of smoke didn't seem to help the situation.

--Splash--

The door then was slowly opened revealing a disheveled Malik and a soaked Marik with messy, charred hair.

"Oh hi Yugi," a now chippier Malik said, "what brings you here?"

"Are you guys alright?! I smelled smoke and heard screaming…" Yugi asked worriedly.

"Oh. Well you see this idiot yami of mine decided to put the toaster in the microwave…. Again!" said Malik as his voice level steadily increased with anger.

"I said I was sorry!" exclaimed Marik with shine still evident in his eyes from the earlier shed tears. (A/N: Hey you'd cry too if your hair was on fire burning your scalp!)

"Well 'sorry' doesn't buy a new toaster or microwave!" snapped Malik.

"Ahem," Yugi cleared his throat in an attempt to get the attention reverted back to him.

"Oh sorry Yugi" apologized Malik, all anger gone and forgotten. "Why are you here again?" (A/N: talk about mood swings)

"Oh, well I wanted to invite you and Marik to mine and Yami's sleepover later tonight," explained Yugi.

"Sure we'd love to come, anything you want us to bring?" asked Malik.

"Actually," began Yugi, "I was wondering if you would come to the store with me. I know that I don't look old enough to buy alcohol, but with you guys and the millennium rod I'm sure that we can get some for the party."

At the mention of 'millennium rod' and 'alcohol' both Malik and Marik's eyes widened mischievously and oddly enough, full of extreme and pure happiness.

"So has the pharaoh approved of this plan?" asked Marik in high hopes.

"Well he doesn't actually know about how I'm going to get the alcohol, but he knows that I'm going to get it. Don't worry, he won't mind as long as I'm okay," answered Yugi sheepishly.

At the mention that they wouldn't get in trouble, Malik and Marik's faces became more eager than before, if that was possible.


Yami's POV

'So, Jou, Otogi, Honda, Mai and Anzu are covered. That leaves Ryou, Bakura and…Kaiba,' thought Yami on his way to Ryou's house.

"Bakura, you untie me this instant!" yelled a panicked Ryou.

Yami raised one slender eyebrow, wondering what was going on and thinking if it was safe and decent to enter. 'They're probably together and doing something that I know I don't want to walk in on...'

"Bakura! Don't press that- sigh -button," finished Ryou exhaustedly.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" exclaimed a frightened Yami Bakura from inside the house.

'Hmmm..maybe I should knock now' thought Yami as he raised a fist to knock on the door. Just then a bar-b-queuing Bakura flung open the door and began rolling around on the grass.

"Baka Pharaoh, what are you doing here?!" Bakura yelled as he stood up composing himself.

"Bakura! You get in here this instant and untie me!" yelled Ryou through the open door. "Oh, and are you all right?" he added sweetly.

Yami then turned his view to Ryou inside the house tied up to a chair with his shirt missing, a white fluffy towel covering his waist and his damp, silky, white hair plastered on his pale soft body. Obviously he was dragged into that chair after emerging from a shower. Ryous' eyes widened as he noticed that an open mouthed Yami and a growling Bakura. "Eep" was all that escaped Ryou's mouth as he tried to cover himself up, but failed miserably, noticing that he was still bound to the kitchen chair. A growl was then emitted from his mouth. Yami slowly entered the house, a blush creeping its way onto his face as he approached Ryou, ready to untie him. Bakura then emitted a growl of his own, only to be turned into an all out battle cry as he jumped on Yamis' back. Yami, totally caught off guard, was not able to keep his balance as he stumbled and fell to the floor with Bakura's fists in his hair.

"Aaah! Tomb Robber! If you didn't want me to touch Ryou all you had to do was say so!" yelled Yami as he mentally smirked and congratulated himself for that comment. 'Surely that tomb robber will become more possessive of Ryou.'

"Fine," spat out Bakura "get away from him, he's mine!" he yelled as he stood and wrapped his arms across Ryou's naked chest.

"Oh Yami, why are you here anyway?" Ryou asked innocently, a huge blush covering his face, trying to ignore Bakura's wandering hands and his previous statement. "get away from him, he's mine!" -- 'sigh not like he really likes me like that. He just assumes that I belong to him and his personality as a tomb robber make him protect everything that's his,' thought Ryou sadly. 'Why can't he protect me because he loves me, not because he sees me as a possession?'

"Oh that's right, here" said Yami, standing up as he dusted himself. He handed Ryou the invitation but Bakura simply snatched it away.

"What is this rubbish Pharaoh?" asked Bakura, snarling out the word 'Pharaoh' and making it seem more like an insult than a compliment of high status.

"Tomb Robber!" snarled out Yami with a heated glare. No one insults his lovers' good heart. "It's an invitation to Yugi's and my sleepover party tonight. Please consider coming," replied Yami as he began heading back to the still open front door. "Oh, by the way," Yami said as he peeked his head through the door, "nice outfit Ryou," Yami seductively said and winked as he left the house. Another growl and an 'eep' was the only thing Yami heard as he began his walk to Kaiba's house.
