Mei: Ok we're going to try this ONE more time.
Malik: Once again she's trying to get the orange to read the disclaimer.keep trying Mei.
Mei: Well at least I'm trying to do something, unlike some of us * glares at Yami Malik *
Yami Malik: Huh?
Mei: Idiot.
Yami Malik: I resent that!
Malik: Don't you always.
Mei: Why do I even bother with these two? Why??
YM/Malik: Cause you love us!! ^________^
Mei: Oh! That reminds me! Since you two have been so good lately, I thought I'd give you two a present!
Malik: A present?
Yami Malik: Huh? But aren't we in the present?
Malik: I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
Mei: U_U
Malik: What is it?
Mei: You'll see.
Malik: Why do I get the feeling that this isn't going to be good.
Mei: BAKURA!!! BRING OUT THE "SPECIAL" SURPRISE!!!!!
Malik: You know, I'm just going to go over here and.RUN!!!
Mei: Oh no you don't! *grabs Malik* Yami get some rope! Bakura bring the steamroller over here!!
Bakura: Where are you? *looks around* (remember he's driving a gigantic steamroller, he can't see a damn thing ^__^!)
Mei: Down here! Now stop!
Bakura: OKAY!
Yami Malik: Is this what you wanted? *holds out 15 different kinds of rope*
Mei: *sighs* Yami Malik string cheese doesn't count as rope, and neither does actual string.
Yami Malik: I didn't know what kind you wanted so I just bought the lot of it.
Mei: Well at least you did bring rope and barbed wire.
Malik: O_O *gulp* What did I do??
Bakura: You know I really don't like being ignored like this!
Mei: Oh shove it. You're getting your end of the bargain later. And now for you.*glares at Malik*
Malik: Uh.Is it too late to say sorry?
Bakura/Mei/YM: NO!
Malik: What about HIS punishment?! *glares at Yami Malik*
Mei: Oh! Him? He's been good and he already got his present, your motorcycle!
Malik: WHAT!!
Yami Malik: *nods happily* ^__^ And she even gave me your whole porn collection, your DVDs, your room, and even your caffeine stash!
Malik: O_O *grumbles*
Mei: I heard that! Bakura start the engines!
Bakura: Yes ma'am! TIME TO DIE!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Malik: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! *runs for his life while still tied up*
Mei: Ahhh, ain't it wonderful being the authoress? Life can't get no better.
Bakura is currently laughing his head off and chasing after a tied-up Malik who's also chasing after his yami who's chasing that random bird that just randomly flew off with Bob.
Very sad and pathetic, yes?

Hell's Just Around the Corner
Chapter Two: Foxtrot
Song: seven - Gackt
* * *
*Beep! Beep! Beep! - THWAK!* "Ugh." Malik groaned, and blinked. From the looks of it he was going to need ANOTHER alarm clock. He grimaced and plopped his head back on the pillow, burying himself under the linen covers. It was Saturday, why he had his alarm on; he didn't know or seemed to care. All he wanted to do was go back to sleep, but then again there was the constant pounding on the door which was probably caused by Rishid that was starting to give him a migraine.
"Malik get up! This is no time for sleeping; our flight leaves in less than an hour, hurry up and get dressed NOW!" Malik groaned louder this time, mentally reminding himself to never stay up until 6:00 a.m. He got up and reached for his drawer; black pants, black shirt, and white jacket. He shivered slightly, he was only wearing his boxers and Egypt during the morning was cold as Hell could possibly make it. Malik put his pants and shirt on; he grabbed his jacket and slipped it on covering his well defined six-pack that poked out from under his black shirt. He sighed, it was going to be one of those days where everything either went wrong, or was just plain topsy-turvy, but he just couldn't get that dream out of his head. 'Beware of the Black Fox'? What the hell was that all about??
* * *
Life for Malik had been rather dull in the past year; eat, sleep, help Isis - same old, same old. At least during Battle City he had had some fun until his yami decided everyone should die for no apparent reason. And now he was coming back to Domino city to raise hell once more, actually Isis made him promise to not do anything stupid. But what was stupid? Conquering the world wasn't stupid, messing around with Millennium rod wasn't stupid, so what was her problem anyway? Malik pondered this as he boarded the plane.
Isis noticed immediately her brother's more than odd behaviour and it was starting to worry her. Ever since the loss of his yami he's been awfully quiet and normally by now he would've harassed at least three people, and that was NORMAL behaviour - normal for Malik at least. When his yami was driven back into the Shadow realm he must've taken something with him and that scared Isis.
Isis sat next to Rishid while Malik sat a row across from them. He was staring out the window with a glazed look on his youthful face. "Rishid," Isis nudged him lightly. "I'm worried about Malik, keep an eye on him will you?" Rishid simply nodded and returned to his book while keeping a steady eye on the blonde. Malik sighed, what was that dream about? It had been swimming like an annoying fish in his head all morning; he just couldn't figure it out. Malik noticed Rishid watching him with the corner of his eye and smiled to himself. Isis was just being her paranoid big sisterly self and who could blame her? When you have a little brother that tried to kill the innocent reincarnation of a once been pharaoh and had a yami that was homicidal, - its best to just not get into it right now.
Isis stared at the seat in front of her like it was the most interesting thing in the world. It would be 20 more hours before they reached Japan and then they were going to have to drive all the way from Tokyo to Domino - that would take another four hours. It truly was going to be a long trip, as if it weren't bad enough, she had been having visions almost every night for nearly two weeks. She took out a small but thick black leather- encased book out from her bag, opened it and started to write.
June 2, Log 1 - Entry 56
I'm worried; the visions get more and more intense every night. I fear that something terrible is coming, each time I try to use the Tauk for answers I just get thrown back into the present. But at night the visions just become more real - I found scratch marks going down my left leg, it was done so neatly, such an intricate pattern.
I keep seeing a black fox sitting on a cliff watching the dark sea. I have never felt such a powerful emotion before! It just emanates from the fox, growing stronger and powerful. It wasn't an evil force, more like sorrow and sadness - a loss probably triggered it; poor thing. I can see so much pain in the vixen's eyes its unbearable to even be near her. But I have never in my life seen such a creature; a strange ebony vixen that glowed indigo with blue eyes that were almost white and colder than Kaiba's. I feel that she is trying to warn me about something, but she is unable to do so. I hope it's not about Malik.
Last night the vision came again but this time the fox was injured, I tried to help but I woke up. I woke up to my mirror being completely shattered, the shards formed a message:
Sometimes the most dangerous and purest of evil
Can actually be the most innocent,
Even more so than the light itself.
I guess she was able to tell me after all.
Isis stopped and put her journal away. She looked at Malik; he was still staring out the window fixated on something that no one else could see. Isis closed her eyes and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Malik stared out the window still with that glazed look on his face. It was noon and they were already in China; just a few more hours to go and they'd be in Japan.
In Domino city, Japan, a certain white haired youth was mumbling in his sleep. "She's coming, beware of the Black Fox."
* * *
It was a bright sunny day in Domino; Tea was ranting, Joey was stuffing his face, and a certain CEO was reading his book ["I, Robot" \\A\\]. Yes, that was life at Domino High; if you were lucky you could place bets on Joey (and win) in a game of "who could eat the most". \\B\\
Yugi wandered the hallway, he had just gotten back from the nurse, and she had made him take one of those hearing/vision tests that the students took periodically. He passed the hearing and failed miserably on the vision, after school he was going to have to make a trip to the eye doctor and get his prescription. He sighed, he really did want to go to the arcade later, but since it was Friday he might just be able to.
"Hey Yugi, wait up!" Yugi turned around but he could barely make out the image that was running up to him at a dangerous speed. Green eyes, jet black hair, die hanging from left ear - it had to be no other than Duke himself. "Hi Duke, what's the rush?" Duke looked at Yugi and smiled. No matter what, the Mutou was always looking out for you. "Just wanted to get some good seats before the cafeteria gets full." Yugi turned his attention to the floor. "Hearing/vision test too huh?" Yugi nodded, Duke sure was even more talkative today. "I passed but Kaiba sure didn't! You should've seen it, the nurse was lecturing him throughout the whole vision session and the plus the fact that he was too young to be working so much and that he was so nearsighted." Yugi groaned inwardly, Duke enjoyed talking a little too much, but sometimes he just over did it and this was one of those cases.
When they had finally reached the cafeteria, Duke reached for the door and instead got knocked down to the ground by Ryou.
"Owww.Hey watch it Whitey, you're going to kill someone if you keep doing that!"
"Sorry, very sorry." Ryou bowed quickly and nervously before realizing that he was excusing himself to Duke and Yugi. "Oh it's just you guys." Ryou sighed, relived for whatever reason he had. Yugi noticed this but refrained from asking, instead he looked through the window. The was a massive food fight going on and from the look of it Joey was right in the middle and was oddly enough trying to eat everything that was thrown at him; if he kept this up, Kaiba would have another reason to call him a puppy. Joey just puts himself into the worst situations. Yugi had a suspicion to why Ryou was so nervous; Bakura must've gotten rather bored during Ryou's classes.
"Clear the area boys, I don't think you want to be around when I get through with everyone in there."
The boys looked behind them and saw their History teacher grinning; to Yugi, for some reason, this teacher seemed to actually get along with his students. Hell, even Kaiba seemed to respect him in some sort of way. The guy acted and looked like a teenager; it made it real hard to believe he was actually in his late twenties, well so he says. There was just something about that man that you couldn't help but trust.
"Hi Professor Kinomoto," Duke chirped, Yugi heard his yami muttering things to himself about Duke being a little bratty suck up.
"We were just 'bout to go in and well, you know." Duke placed his hand on the back of his head and gave off a goofy grin like he always does when he gets himself into certain predicaments. "Yes, I know Mr. Devlin, and I recommend cleaning Mr. Bakura off before the rest of the staff shows up and gives out detentions." He smiled. "And I hope you boys did your homework, there's going to be a pop quiz on Friday, don't tell anyone else!" He winked and went inside the massive hell hole of cafeteria food only to run out and quickly shut the doors behind him.
"I take it that I should leave this up to the rest of the staff," Pro. Kinomoto laughed nervously still aware of the three boys in front of him. "Um, since you three have my class next; let's do lunch in there okay?" They all nodded and walked down the hall of infinite doom.
* * *
"So you used to be an archaeologist? Wow, I thought you were like in your early or late thirties or something." Pro. Kinomoto just laughed at Duke's comment, "Yes, well I still am and it's more like mid twenties Mr. Devlin." Pro. Kinomoto grinned openly toward his students, and looked at Yugi, "You've been awfully quite Mr. Mutou, did I scare you with the pop quiz?" Yugi smiled sheepishly and made a gesture for him to continue with the ongoing conversation. Ryou just looked at him and turned to Pro. Kinomoto. "Professor, what branches do you study other than archaeology?" He gave Ryou a quizzical look. "If you don't mind my asking, sir." He added this hastily hoping he didn't offend his teacher. "Hmm, I've studied many branches in science, one of my favourites is cryonics or as I like to call it, 'the study of freezing people and bringing them back to life at a discount price.'" He chuckled somewhat at his joke as did the boys, but he couldn't help but look somewhat distant.
//Always such a distant look.//
~Yes. Your teacher seems awfully too young to teach Yugi. ~
//Isn't he? I swear he isn't in his mid twenties more like late teens! //
~ He probably is in his late teens, reminds me of Kaiba.~
//I know, scary isn't it? Hard to believe he's my godfather.//
~ Your godfather!? ~
//Yep. He used to work with Grandpa a while back; I guess they became good friends. //
~ Hmm, he still looks to young to me.~
//True but he also has kids, twins actually. I know them quite well. //
~ I still say he's too young. ~
//You don't give up do you?//
~ Never. ~
//You're sad. //
A long pause.
~ Yugi, what is "cryonics"? ~
//It's where they freeze a person who's no longer living and then try to restore them later on.//
~Oh. Why would anyone want to be frozen immediately after death? ~
//Dunno, but it could be because they died of some disease and want to have a chance to live again. //
~...I see...~
Yugi hoped he didn't offend his yami in any way; it's just well, being a spirit and all..
"Boys, I have some news for you, we're going to have two new students today, I want you to be nice since they are my children." Duke's ears perked up a bit, there was really no telling what went on in his head but he sure had a habit of making extremely obvious. There was a light knock on the door, everyone's head turned around to see an old woman with a scar on her left cheek and a scowl on her thin dark lips.
"Jet I have the new students," She scowled even more so. "What great timing Melissa and I thought you lost your mind some time ago.." Jet smirked somewhat lightly. Melissa was the old secretary that worked on the fourth floor of the high school; she had worked there for some many years and was known for always wearing a scowl her face.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bakura: That sounds so much like you.
Mei: F*** off. You've got your payment.
Bakura: So much for PG.
Mei: Back to the story!
Narrator: Thank you.
Mei: O_O
Bakura: U_U
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Thank you Melissa, you can leave now or do I have to show the way?" Of course, naturally everyone in the room was listening intently to the bickering caused by two people that work for their school and letting it sink in that this really wasn't supposed to be happening. And naturally they let it continue.
"I swear boy, you're going to get it one of these days and then you'll come begging for my help!"
And with that she left the classroom with a big hole upon where the door used to be while leaving five flabbergasted students and one teacher smiling idiotically to himself. What a teacher!
~Aibou, I told you he was too young. He should respect his elders and take them a little more seriously. ~
//Don't lecture me! I didn't do anything.//
~Sorry Aibou. ~
Yugi looked at the newbies; they've changed so much since the last time he had saw them.
"Boys I'd like you to meet my son Satoshi,"
The boy with mismatched eyes only glared at everyone in the room. He had jet black hair, was tall, could've been somewhat lanky if it wasn't for his strong build, and had one very light bright blue eye and one seemingly dark brown eye.
"And my daughter Destiny."
The girl was roughly an inch shorter than her twin and looked almost identical to Satoshi if it wasn't for her gender. She had very pale blue eyes, jet black hair that fell to her knees, and a soft warm smile. Duke grinned stupidly, walked up to Destiny and introduced himself while getting a very icy glare from her brother. Destiny ignored both Duke and her brother and ran up to Yugi and hugged him.
"Bumblebee! How've you been? I've been so worried, you haven't written to me in two months!" Yugi just sat there perplexed with all the questions. "Bumblebee.?" Ryou questioned with odd look on his face. For as long as he had known Yugi, he had never once mentioned these two. "Destiny I think you should let go now, I don't think Yugi can breathe much longer with you glomping him like that." Satoshi smirked while looking at his twin, she was his entire world; he would do anything for her, just for her, anything..
While Duke was pouting in the background, Pro. Kinomoto slowly closed his eyes; it was going to be an interesting day he supposed, a very interesting day.
Ryou just couldn't help but feel he knew the twins from somewhere, from a long time ago. It was strange how the girl, Destiny, reminded him of something. A memory from when he was only eight, he had accidentally gotten himself lost in the woods. He remembered it so clearly; a fox, a black blue-eyed fox. That same fox showed him his way back out of the woods and simply disappeared.
But why did Destiny remind him of that, why??

Mei: Can it Malik. I know you're still mad about the whole "Bakura + Steamroller" incident, so your opinion doesn't count.

It truly was going to be a long trip, as if it weren't bad enough, she had been having visions almost every night for nearly two weeks. She took out a small but thick black leather- encased book out from her bag, opened it and started to write.
June 2, Log 1 - Entry 56

~ He probably is in his late teens, reminds me of Kaiba.~
//I know, scary isn't it? Hard to believe he's my godfather.//
~ Your godfather!? ~
//Yep. He used to work with Grandpa a while back; I guess they became good friends. //
~ Hmm, he still looks to young to me.~
//True but he also has kids, twins actually. I know them quite well. //
~ I still say he's too young. ~
//You don't give up do you?//
~ Never. ~
//You're sad. //
A long pause.
~ Yugi, what is "cryonics"? ~
//It's where they freeze a person who's no longer living and then try to restore them later on.//
~Oh. Why would anyone want to be frozen immediately after death? ~
//Dunno, but it could be because they died of some disease and want to have a chance to live again. //
~...I see...~
Yugi hoped he didn't offend his yami in any way; it's just well, being a spirit and all..
"Boys, I have some news for you, we're going to have two new students today, I want you to be nice since they are my children." Duke's ears perked up a bit, there was really no telling what went on in his head but he sure had a habit of making extremely obvious. There was a light knock on the door, everyone's head turned around to see an old woman with a scar on her left cheek and a scowl on her thin dark lips.
"Jet I have the new students," She scowled even more so. "What great timing Melissa and I thought you lost your mind some time ago.." Jet smirked somewhat lightly. Melissa was the old secretary that worked on the fourth floor of the high school; she had worked there for some many years and was known for always wearing a scowl her face.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bakura: That sounds so much like you.
Mei: F*** off. You've got your payment.
Bakura: So much for PG.
Mei: Back to the story!
Narrator: Thank you.
Mei: O_O
Bakura: U_U
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Thank you Melissa, you can leave now or do I have to show the way?" Of course, naturally everyone in the room was listening intently to the bickering caused by two people that work for their school and letting it sink in that this really wasn't supposed to be happening. And naturally they let it continue.
"I swear boy, you're going to get it one of these days and then you'll come begging for my help!"
And with that she left the classroom with a big hole upon where the door used to be while leaving five flabbergasted students and one teacher smiling idiotically to himself. What a teacher!
~Aibou, I told you he was too young. He should respect his elders and take them a little more seriously. ~
//Don't lecture me! I didn't do anything.//
~Sorry Aibou. ~
Yugi looked at the newbies; they've changed so much since the last time he had saw them.
"Boys I'd like you to meet my son Satoshi,"
The boy with mismatched eyes only glared at everyone in the room. He had jet black hair, was tall, could've been somewhat lanky if it wasn't for his strong build, and had one very light bright blue eye and one seemingly dark brown eye.
"And my daughter Destiny."
The girl was roughly an inch shorter than her twin and looked almost identical to Satoshi if it wasn't for her gender. She had very pale blue eyes, jet black hair that fell to her knees, and a soft warm smile. Duke grinned stupidly, walked up to Destiny and introduced himself while getting a very icy glare from her brother. Destiny ignored both Duke and her brother and ran up to Yugi and hugged him.
"Bumblebee! How've you been? I've been so worried, you haven't written to me in two months!" Yugi just sat there perplexed with all the questions. "Bumblebee.?" Ryou questioned with odd look on his face. For as long as he had known Yugi, he had never once mentioned these two. "Destiny I think you should let go now, I don't think Yugi can breathe much longer with you glomping him like that." Satoshi smirked while looking at his twin, she was his entire world; he would do anything for her, just for her, anything..
While Duke was pouting in the background, Pro. Kinomoto slowly closed his eyes; it was going to be an interesting day he supposed, a very interesting day.
Ryou just couldn't help but feel he knew the twins from somewhere, from a long time ago. It was strange how the girl, Destiny, reminded him of something. A memory from when he was only eight, he had accidentally gotten himself lost in the woods. He remembered it so clearly; a fox, a black blue-eyed fox. That same fox showed him his way back out of the woods and simply disappeared.
But why did Destiny remind him of that, why??

//A// "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov, my absolute favourite book! I my opinion Kaiba practically is a robot.don't ask.
//B// I actually played this game before.

Malik: Ooooh, that was one hell of a crappy chapter!
Mei: Can it Malik. I know you're still mad about the whole "Bakura + Steamroller" incident, so your opinion doesn't count.
Malik: Since when has it ever.
Bakura: Never.
Malik: Bastard tomb robber.
Bakura: Why thank you, but I prefer "Innocent Kleptomaniac".
Mei: *blinks*
Malik: ¬_¬ I hate you.
Bakura: yep. ^_^
Mei: *blinks more*
