Yami: But that'll never happen, right?

TB: Oh wait I almost remembered, well enjoy!

Chapter 2: Cleaning Out My Closet Part 1

(Malik's POV)

After the most grueling day of school, I slowly walked home. Why you say? Why the hell don't I just ride my motorcycle to school then ride it home? I'll tell you why, why is cause Marik, my Yami took the bike for joyride… there I blame it on my Yami okay. I kept walking past the bus stop. Why you say? Why the hell don't I just get a ride on the bus? Well I'll tell you why…uh because it's smelly, crowded and oh all right, I just don't like riding the bus, OKAY? After walking for about 15 minutes I reached home. I opened the door slowly and stepped in, "I'm home…" I mumbled. I kicked off my shoes and closed the door behind me. "Ishizu ya here?" I called, shuffled into the kitchen and saw the note of the refrigerator it was from Ishizu, it read:

Hey Malik,

Sorry I couldn't be here when you get home I had to get to the museum for an emergency meeting. Don't wait up, I'll be working late…Dinners in the fridge and make sure you get that Yami of yours to clean the room its disgusting, curfew is at 11 pm please be sure to be in bed by that time, BOTH of you thank you.

Love, Ishizu

"Great," I muttered. Just great, first I'm stuck alone with my psychotic Yami and his strange habits. Second we have to clean something, more specifically my room that I haven't been in since last week. And what the, heck is up with the curfew? I looked around and noticed that Marik wasn't downstairs, which meant he would probably be upstairs. I grumbled to my self as I climbed up the stairs, Garbage bags, rubber gloves, pointy stick, and other cleaning utensils that I would probably need to clean…anything. I stalked down the hall and to the closed door to my room, I pressed me ear to the door, listening, it was Marik al-right. I heard some shuffling and him cursing as he most likely cut himself while stepping on the floor. -Sigh- "Here goes," I said to my self putting on my gas mask, that I picked up from Yugi as he had a spare handy, seems like the pharaoh was blowing things up again. I opened the door and thank goodness I was wearing the mask, the place was a total junkyard. "MARIK WHAT DID YOU DO?" I shouted, racing over to the windows opening them all. "THIS ROOM IS A TOTAL DISASTER! Did you have one too many beers, got high on drugs what the hell is wrong with you how can you stay in here with this-this…why are you smiling!" I shouted at him, but strangest thing yet is he would just sit there and smile a like a mad man… then he says, "I'm smiling cause there is a spider on you head…"

"A- a-a-a-a SPIDER! WHERE GETITOFF! GETITOFF! GETITOFF!" I yelled in up most horror, messing up my hair running around the room. I HATE spiders… Marik walked over and plucked a HUGE long-leg out of my hair, and I nearly fainted. I grumbled and walked over to the bedroom door and locked it. I spun around and looked Marik in the eye, "We are NOT leaving UNTIL this room is CLEAN! And the spider is dead!" I yelled pointing to the Long-leg that Marik held in his hand. "But, But he's my pet…" Marik looked as if he'd cry and made a little sad face. "Marik KILL IT NOW" I said, "Or I WILL!" I finished retrieving the can of bug spray, from my cleaning bag, positioning the spray above Marik's spider. " I can't just do it, quickly" he answered, shielding his eyes. I sprayed the little vermin an never ending stream of chemicals until space around it was all foggy ,when it cleared it was practically a skeleton, so to say if spiders do have skeletons, then it moved. This was no ordinary spider. "Marik what is it?" "Oh it's a shadow spider, I got it from my soul room…" Marik looked at the disgusted face I was wearing. " Ugh, just KILL IT!" I screamed. I started to pick up the beer bottles wearing the rubber gloves. This is going to take a long time…

TenshiBabe: ooh, wonder how long they could last in there, review and tell me what other secrets do you want revealed about Malik. Maybe even Marik, shouldn't he be afraid of something. This cleaning the room segment would be for about 2-3 chapters so theirs lots of time…I guess. R&R
