JG: I found numerous amounts of plot holes that I just HAD to fix. Bakura and Ryou for one. You see the part in time that we are at is just right before the Battle City Finals…So… that would mean 'Bakura' is in the hospital. So this is the new and improved version, of the new version of chapter two. Savvy?

Chapter Two: Burger World and Sticky situations.
I looked at the building in front of me. 'Huh, looks like it does in the anime. Cool.' I thought to my self then smirked. 'All it's missing is a deranged psycho path.' Snickering at the thought I looked at the menu and frowned. Apparently our 'translation thingie' didn't include the writing. 'Now what are we going to do?'
"Well, go on pick something out." Joey said smiling.
"Would if I could." I said rolling my eyes. "Except for maybe the fact that I can't read conj."
"Really?" Yugi asked curiously.
"American here. Limited knowledge of Japanese. And when I say limited I mean very limited."
"Ah. Right." Yugi said suspiciously. "Then why do you speak it so well?"
"Um…sadistic language teacher? Fluke? Some alien space ship?"
"You guys are so weird." Joey commented smirking.
"And another problem," Shanna said looking at me seriously. "We don't have any money."
"Right…" I said looking down holding my stomach sadly.
"Oh don't worry about that," Yugi said brightly. "We'll pay."
"You will?" Shanna asked curiously.
"We will?" Joey asked blankly, then seeing the look he was getting from Yugi he backtracked. "Er...yes we will."
"Why?" I asked "I mean we're just strangers."
"True, but I did almost run over you." Yugi said sheepishly. "And I want to make up for that."
"Oh. Well in that case…" I trailed off looking at the Menu again. "Joey what's your favorite thing to get here?"
"Oh combo meal two." Joey said immediately. "It is a double-pounder beef burger with all the fixings, a drink and a side dish."
"Huh," I mumbled. 'That sounds good. Wonder what the side dishes are.'
Shanna seemed to be on the same brainwave as me since she asked "What kind of sides are there?"
"French-fries, fruit cup, rice, and um…noodles I think." Joey explained.
'Noodles? Yum! Okay, I'm sold.' I thought smiling. "Oooh that sounds good. I think I'll have that. With a side dish of noodles. Pwease?" I asked batting my eyelashes.
"Wha? I would have thought that you'd want a salad or something." Joey said looking at me with wide eyes.
"Salads are for Preppies, and I am not a preppie." I said rolling my eyes.
"Okay…an' what do you wan' Shan'?" he asked, Shanna looked thoughtful for a second.
"Same I guess…except can I have a fruit cup instead?" She asked politely.
I stared at her like she grew an extra head. "Why did you get just a fruit cup? I would have thought that you'd get fries, rice or at least noodles. But noo you had to get a fruit cup. What is wrong?" I asked knowing that she normally had a big apatite.
"I got the fruit cup only because I don't know what they put in the rice, fries or noodles and I do not want to get food poisoning or something." She said rolling her eyes at me.
"Oh...Man I should have thought of that. Oh well." I said smiling. Then Yugi and Joey ordered their food, and went to sit and wait for the food to come.
"So," Shanna started once we were all sitting at the table.
"So?" Yugi asked.
"What has been going on with you guys lately?" I asked still curious about what episode we were in.
Yugi and Joey exchanged looks and seemed to have a silent conversation. They were about to say something when the lady at the front called for our order.
"I'll get it," Joey said getting up.
"Okay," I said frowning slightly. I really wanted to know what was going on. 'Hang on, I can just ask Yugi' I thought mentally smacking myself. "Hey—" I cut off as I took in Yugi's spaced out eyes. "Holy crap! Shanna, look he's talking to the pharaoh. How cool is that?" I said pointing to Yugi.
"Yeah…it's cool! I wonder what they're talking about." She said enthusiastically.
"Us probly." I mumbled. Just then Joey came up with the food.
"Hey guys what'cha talking 'bout?" Joey asked looking at us, while setting the food down.
Glancing at each other we both said "Nothing."
-:-
Yami Bakura walked down the streets of Domino. He hadn't meant to leave the hospital so early but he couldn't just sit around and do nothing, he had a deal to keep. Just as he was thinking about how to uphold his end of the deal his stomach, or rather the stomach of his host, growled.
'Foolish weak mortals,' He sneered in his thoughts. 'Always needing sustenance,' with a roll of his eyes he started towards a local fast-food restaurant. 'Might as well get something, I can't have this body giving out on me.'
Walking through the door he looked around his lip curling up in a smirk. 'Look at them, stuffing their faces…it's pathetic.' With that thought he headed towards the front counter plotting of how to obtain the Millennium Items, and the horror he would unleash when he got them.
Bakura was so lost in thought that he didn't notice the girl that was walking towards him. Had he been paying attention he would've stopped in time and not knock into the girl. But alas, he didn't pay attention until it was too late and he bumped into her.
Taken by surprise the girl latched onto his shirt instinctively so that they both fell down. Bakura's eyes flashed closed briefly in irritation, then he opened them again to glare hard at the foolish mortal who dared to bump into him.
-:-
I smiled while walking back to the table, my hands full of napkins. 'Joey is sure is a messy eater.' I thought, remembering the food that was all over Joey's face and even in his ear, how it got there I never knew.
While I was walking, I kind of stared off into space, thinking about how great life was, and how lucky I was to actually know Yugi, and Joey.
I smirked remembering the look Shanna was giving Kaiba. 'Yep, that girl's got it bad.' I thought, shaking my head.
So zoned out was I that I didn't notice a guy walking towards me. It was to late when I saw the guy who I walked into.
We were already going down, so naturally I grabbed the closest thing I could find, which turned out to be his shirt. 'Why do I always have to bump into people?' I thought and looked up into hard amber eyes.
-:-
'Someone is getting a one way ticket to the shadow realm.' Bakura growled inwardly. He looked down into her warm chocolate brown eyes and blinked. He was on top of a young girl. "Little girls should watch where they are going." He growled in her ear before standing up sharply. Since she still had her hands clutched in his shirt she was jerked upwards. He looked down at the hands still on his shirt then looked up at her rising one eyebrow. "You can let go now."
She blushed and let go, her hands going to play with her hair nervously. "S-s-sorry."
Bakura looked over the girl and smirked. She was quite beautiful. Her hair was long and brown with red and blond streaks dyed in. Her eyes, he noticed had a mischievous twinkle in them. She wore a black and red shirt with black pants that had rips down the sides.
-:-
I gulped when I noticed who was on top of me. Long spiky white hair and hard eyes that could strike fear into the bravest heart, this was Yami Bakura.
"Little girls should watch where they are going." He growled in my ear making me shiver slightly. He stood up quickly and my hands tightened onto his shirt so consequently I was jerked up as well.
He looked down at my hands then looked up at me cocking an eyebrow. "You can let go now."
Blushing I let go and started to play with my hair, a nervous habit that I had picked up recently. "S-s-sorry." I mumbled
I looked at him and noticed that he was wearing his signature blue and white striped shirt with black pants. The only thing missing was his black trench coat. I also noticed that his arm was bandaged and had the red of blood staining the bandage.
Then I realized that he was checking me out. I shivered again as I felt his eyes look me up and down. 'Yami Bakura, Yami freaking Bakura is checking me out. I think I just might have a heart attack. Some one pinch me I'm dreaming.'
"You aren't from around here are you?" Bakura asked smirking.
"Yes, how did you know? You are not a stalker are you?" I said sarcastically, this caused his smirk to widen.
"No, I assure you I am not a stalker." He said winking at me.
Biting my lip to stop myself from squealing I said. "Sure... That's what they all say." He started to splutter in indignation. "What's your name?" I asked, even though I already knew, I didn't want to sound like I was the stalker now did I.
"Bakura." He said then there was a slight pause before he added "Ryou Bakura."
"So Bakura, is it normal for you to sweep a girl off her feet?" I asked with a slight smile.
He smirked again. "Only the pretty ones."
I could feel my face go bright red. 'Bakura just called me pretty. Okay…okay don't squeal…don't squeal…' Shaking away my thoughts I looked back at him a small smirk finding its way onto my face. "Oh? You naughty boy, I almost believed you there for a second."
His eyes seemed to have a teasing glint in them. "Believe what you will, but it's the truth."
"Sure it is," I said sarcastically.
"Tell me," He said stepping forward slightly. "What is your name?"
"N-Nicky." I mumbled blushing again.
"Nicky," He said his smirk still on his face. "A beautiful name for a beautiful lady."
Blushing again I couldn't contain the smile that spread across my face. "T-thank you." I mumbled looking down.
"Are you here alone?" Bakura asked me making my stomach erupt with butterflies.
"N-no," I breathed closing my eyes to help me regain my focus. I suddenly thought of the friends that were waiting for me. "I'm sorry, but I have to go." I said turning around quickly before I could change my mind and stay with the thief.
Finally arriving and still trying to calm down both my blushing face and furiously beating heart I sat down trying not to bring attention to my self, but of coarse Shanna-being my best friend- noticed.
"What happened?" She asked looking at me knowingly, this caused Joey and Yugi to stare at me to.
"Happened? Wh-why would you say anything happened?" I asked, 'damn don't blush don't blu-stop it stop blushing right now...'
Shanna smirked. "Why? Because you are as red as a cherry right now. So what happened?" Just then
Yugi butt in and asked "Bakura? What are doing here!?"
Hearing this I blushed redder and then hit my head on the table. I could feel everyone's eyes on me, especially Shanna's.
"Oh…So is there anything you want to tell me Mickey? Anything along the lines of page 45?" She asked, and I could tell she was smirking.
"No!-nothing-happened-and-sertantly-not-anything-t o-do-with-page-45!" I squeaked my head still on the table.
"Are you sure Mickey?" Shanna asked snickering. I slowly rose my head to glare at her, but my hair got in the way.
"Shut up Shanna." I growled my voice low, and I knew that she could tell though all my hair I was glaring at her. She shivered.
"Wow Mickey don't get so defensive." She said putting her hands up in defense. Now Joey thought it best to interfere.
"Uh…Mickey are you okay?" He asked staring at me,
'Wow, he obviously doesn't know me' I thought while slowly glaring at him which made him recoil, fast too.
I smirked, 'well what d' ya know? Glaring works on Shanna and Joey.' I said to my self. I looked around and saw that Yugi looked nervous, and I could tell the Pharaoh wanted to take over. Then I looked at Shanna who was scared quote un-quote "shitless." So was Joey, only Bakura seemed to be calm.
"I'm fine Joey," I said trying to hold back laughter, but still glaring at him, I can be weird some times. Shanna seemed to know that I was holding back laughter so she –though Joey thought she was crazy- looked at me and said
"Hold your Tacos." This caused me and her to burst out laughing, and Joey, Yugi look at us like we were crazy, which we are. When the laughter finally subsided I looked at Shanna.
"Do you always have to say that?" I asked still chuckling, she just nodded. "Its okay Joey I'm fine now." I said looking at Joey's scared but confused face.
"Ya Joey she's okay…for now." Shanna said reassuringly, I looked at Shanna.
"And what exactly do you mean by that?" I asked looking at her in an oh-no-you-didn't kind of way. She just smirked.
"What I mean is that you have to calm down before an incident happens, which you always cause. Remember old Pete?"
"Oh yeah…I remember that old geezer," I looked at her and added innocently. "So what's your point?" I had to keep my self from laughing at her face.
"What's my point? What's MY POINT? He took out a restraining order on you Mickey! And you ask 'what's my point?' You have got to be kidding." She said, then I couldn't help it, I cracked up. Her face was just too priceless. I just couldn't help it.
"Wha… A restraining order, you serious? What did you do?" Joey asked looking at me.
"Oh…nothing much…." I say smirking looking at him then adding at his still slightly scared face I ask "Why nervous?"
"N-no." He said trying to sound brave, but it wasn't working. Shanna and I just laughed, shaking our heads.
"Bakura, aren't you supposed to be at the hospital? What are you doing here?" Yugi asked looking at Bakura in concern.
"I'm fine Yugi," Bakura said adopting Ryou's gentle voice. "The doctors released me a couple of hours ago. "
"But, why are you here?" Joey asked looking concerned also. "You should be at home. Resting that arm of yours."
Bakura shrugged. "I was hungry, and it was on my way home."
Yugi frowned. "I don't like this Bakura, you should go home."
"Yeah Bakura," I spoke up with a slight smirk. "Rest that gimpy arm of yours."
Bakura's eyes narrowed at me briefly, and then he smirked. "Well, if the lady insists."
With that he walked away leaving me bright red, Shanna trying not to laugh and Yugi and Joey looking highly confused.
JG: Thanks for Reading! Hope I hear from you! :D
