Tie-dyed Trickster-I Here by label you my most responsive fan. Hold still pulls out a labeler Just a sec here... Done. Okay, here's your label. Feel free to use or not use it. Now... lets see. Yeah, Erika is deffinetly a shady character. As long as this vaiguly established plot doesn't take to serious of a twist that will be explained around what's supposed to be the middle of the story. Great guess by the way. you completely nailed the summary of this chapter (;D)
Spidey meets Wizard-Theif-Sorry. I'm more of a not-a-few-paragraphs-but-not-a-super-long-chapter kind of person. Here's my view. Exagertavily short, don't even need to scroll down to read it chapters are cheep and should be avoided unless you haven't updated in ages, already got the basic idea in, and are having a serious writers block. Long chapters are nice but as long as more mediumish chapters make it easier to find a nice breaking point, I'm the sort of person who can't focus on anything long and need breaking points, and as long as the mediumish chapter story is updated regularly its A-okay. The problem here is that I forget to update regularly.
Chapter 3
"They said that? For real?" An empty soda can on the wall exploded.
"…yeah…" The next one to blow up was full of grape soda. It created the effects of a sticky purple fireworks show.
"That's SOOOOOOO unfair! You've been on your best behavior for ever and your parents decided you can't go anyways!"
Yami didn't respond. Instead he focused on blowing up to soda cans containing root beer.
"Speaking of best behavior, your parents will kill you when they see the mess your making in front of the school. The school! What if a security camera catches you?"
"Then good for the camera!" Yami hissed
"Well…" Tori took a few steps back "Not to side with your parents, but why did you want to go to Egypt so badly?"
All the remaining soda cans blew up, creating something Tori would have deemed worth of a fireworks show "I don't know! I just…" Yami took a deep breath "Ever since I was really little… Egypt's seemed really fascinating to me, like how using my powers always felt really good. It's just one of those things I can't really understand, but still somehow know"
"You're creepy" Tori said, nudging him to let her friend know it was a joke "But if you reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaly want to go" She stretched and paused "Nah. Wouldn't want you in more trouble than you'll be in once we're caught with this mess"
"What?"
"Well…" Tori pretended to look thoughtful "My family is, by no means, poor. And as of late, my parents have been , in no way, attentive. So I could easily 'borrow' a bit of our money and… oh… maybe… get a couple plane tickets. It won't put a dent in my parents wallets"
"You could do that?" Yami sat down in the sticky mess and thought about it for a minute "Well… I'm doomed anyways. I can either wait to get 'tested' or I can go with you. Not a hard choice"
"Just get a different pair of pants or something before you go. What flavor soda did you sit in?"
Yami ran his finger through the mess he was sitting in and licked it "A delicious combination of orange and grape soda, couple with a few unfortunate ants"
"Ew"
OOOOO
"Have you ever been on a plane before?" Tori asked ass she handed the guard her tickets
"Twice. Round trip to Egypt and back when I was four. Ryou has some friends there"
"Oh yeah, you told me that. Sorry I asked"
"S'okay" Yami paused after passing through a metal detector "You know what. I have this odd feeling that one of Ryou's friends in Egypt has some mental defect. I don't know why. It's probably a bad child hold memory or something, but thinking about that makes me feel the need to throw knives"
"I think you have a mental defect. If you feel the need to, at least don't say it out loud in an airport!"
Yami laughed nervously "Yeah…"
"Well come on. Our plane leaves in five minutes!" Tori grabbed Yami's arm and dragged him the rest of the way. Yami let her lead. She knew a lot more about planes and such than he did.
OOOOO
"Sorry, dude. I didn't know you'd get airsick"
"Well, now you know" Yami muttered, not taking his head out of his hands or standing up.
"So now that we're in Egypt are you going to look?"
"Give me a sec…" Yami took a deep breath and raised his head "It looks the same as Japan, there just isn't grass growing on the sides of the runways"
"That's because you're looking at the runways. Come on. There are tour busses from here going to the Pyramids. Let's go"
OOOOO
"Daddy" Kayla pulled on Bakura's shirt "Where's Yami?"
"He went to play with Tori" Bakura explained
"Yesterday"
"Huh?"
"He went to play with Tori yesterday. Where did he go today?"
"Oh. I forgot to mention" Bakura smiled "He called some time in the afternoon saying he was spending the night with Tori. I told him he could go. Your mother's been awfully harsh on him lately, and it takes his mind off of Egypt" Bakura's gaze was drawn to a photo of him with his younger sister, particularly, he was focused on the millennium ring around his neck in the image. Each time he'd caught Yami staring at the 'necklace' in the photo he'd wanted to throw it out, but he had no other memories of Amane "And I really don't want him going to Egypt…"
Isaya831: Hm… Kinda chopped that chapter up. Sorry
Yami: I get to be evil again, right?
Isaya831: Patients, little one, all in good time
