Author's Notes: Sorry this chapter took so long to write. I've had it all written for weeks, bar the riddle. The next chapter's already written so to make it up to you all I'll post it as soon as I've typed it up!

Chapter 7: 'Exploring'
By GlitnirGebo
"This is 'Big Brother'. All housemates can now continue to get settled into the 'Big Brother' house."
"About time too!"
The housemates all stood and went separate ways to explore their new home. Kaiba walked through the doors that were to the 'left', whilst the girls headed to the door in the back corner; Bakura disappeared through the purple door at the far wall, Joey headed to the Kitchen, and the rest went out into the yard.
In the boys bedroom…
Kaiba walked into the boys bed room. The room had five beds in it. On the only single bed in the room Mokuba was jumping around in circles. "This is going to be my bed!"
"Mokuba!" Kaiba cried out, "Don't jump on the beds! You might hurt yourself!"
Mokuba stopped jumping and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Sorry Nii-sama."
Seto looked around the room. "At least we don't have to share with the girls." He caught sight of a door leading into another room. "We had better have our own bathroom as well…"
Kaiba walked over to the door, letting Mokuba in first. "Wow! It's all so clean!" Mokuba squealed. On one wall there was a row of three showers. On another wall was a toilet cubicle. On the third wall there were sinks and a row of mirrors.
Kaiba left Mokuba to look around the bathroom and went to find something more interesting to do.
The girls bedroom…
Tea, Serenity, Rebecca, and Rebecca's teddy (of course!) went through the door in the back corner. As in the boys room, every wall had a row of mirrors.
"Yay! This must be our room."
"There better not be any camera's in the bathroom…" Said Seranity as she and Tea went to see for themselves.
Rebecca sat down on one of the beds and started to talk to her teddy. "This will be our bed, teddy. This is where we will sleep."
The yard…
Marik and Malik stood outside the chicken coop.
"Let's go do something else, Marik, this is boring!"
Marik continued to stand still, starring at the coop.
Malik went to stand in front of his yami. "Marik, what are you doing?" Malik followed Marik's gaze and saw that he wasn't starring at the chicken coop, but was in fact, glaring at the chickens. "For Ra's sake! Stop it already! They're not afraid of you glaring at them!"
"They should be…" Marik gritted his teeth.
"Well, you're not getting anywhere with this so! So quit glaring at the stupid chickens!"
"If I could just ring that chickens neck…" Marik said, raising his arms and pretending to strangle an invisible chicken.
"Well, you can't, remember?" Malik knocked his yami's hands down. "So stop it!"
Marik continued to glare.
"FINE! GLARE AT THEM ALL YOU WANT! KNOCK YOURSELF OUT!"
Marik glared even harder at the chickens.
"Wow, Marik, ease up on the glaring or you will knock yourself out…"
Elsewhere in the yard…
Yugi, Ryou and Yami wandered around the yard.
"How do cameras work?" Yami asked the two hikari's.
"Well, it's hard to explain.." Yugi said, looking at Ryou for some help in explaining.
"It works by…" Ryou couldn't think of how to explain either.
"If you looked through the camera, whatever you would see gets imprinted on a piece of film." Yugi said, slightly confusing himself.
"Film?"
"It's…sort of like a series of pictures." Ryou answered.
"Mou hitori no boku, do you remember when I was explaining about photos? It's sort of the same, but sort of different…do you understand?"
Yami had a confused look on his face. "I think so…"
"Don't worry about it, it's very confusing." They wandered past the chicken coop where Malik and Marik were still standing. The trio continued to wander around the yard, until they reached the veranda again.
"Aibou?" Yami asked walking through the automatic doors.
"Yes Yami?"
"How can the cameras see through the mirrors? And how do these doors open by themselves?"
The Kitchen…
"Let's see… We've got fruits and veggies in the fridge, along with the drinks…spreadables in the top cupboard…packets of chips in the bottom cupboard…I think I'll take one of those…" Joey rummaged through the kitchen cupboards.
"No you won't, Joey." Joey spun around to see Tea and Serenity were standing on the other side of the kitchen bench.
"Where did you two come from?!"
"We were in the girls bedroom. Now put those chips away." Tea pointed towards the cupboard. Joey mumbled something about being hungry, but still put the chips back in the cupboard.
"Don't worry about being hungry, we've decided to make dinner." Serenity said.
"Okay then!" Joey said, cheering up. "I'll get outta your way…" Joey started to walk away.
"Hold it right there! You're not going anywhere! You're going to help us!"
Diary room…
Bakura looked around the room. Once again, every wall had a row of mirrors. The walls were a deep purple colour and the only piece of furniture was a black leather armchair in the centre of the room, facing away from the door.
"Hey, Big Brother, what's this room meant to be?"
"You are in the 'Diary room'. This is where…"
"Okay! I didn't ask for your life story." Bakura went and sat on the chair. "Nice chair."
Bakura noticed a white slip of paper sticking out from under the cushion. "What's this?" He pulled the paper out.
"A great king buried inside, surrounded by his gold; More than Gems and Spells, this structure does withhold," Bakura read, "Passages and booby traps, be careful where you tread; For many who have trespassed here, find they may soon be dead, Four corners hold the point up high, covered in the sand; What is this creation that towers, high over the land?" Bakura scrunched the paper up into a small ball. "What a stupid riddle." Bakura got up to leave the room.
"Do you wish to guess the answer?"
"I don't need to guess, I know the answer. It's a Pyramid of Egypt, what else would it be?"
"Congratulations! That's the correct answer to the first special task. You now get to choose an item of you choice, which you may have."
"You really mean it? I can choose anything?"
"Yes, but it must be something within reason. No giant pink elephants, and you can't choose money."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Bakura replied. "I already know what I want anyway. I want a large bottle of Sake."
"Sake?"
"Yes, Sake."
"It will be organised. Return to the 'Diary room' tomorrow evening and you shall receive your chosen prize."
Normal POV: After eating dinner (Nachos and Cheese), the housemates all made their way into the bedrooms. In the boys bedroom the hikari's paired up with their yami's to make sure there would be no deaths during the night, and Mokuba got his single bed…leaving only a double bed spare.
Joey looked at the bed, then looked at Kaiba, then back at the bed. "Don't get any ideas, Moneybags…" He muttered.
"You just keep to your half of the bed and you may live to see morning." Kaiba growled at him. After such a busy day, it wasn't long before they were all in slumber land…
Day 1:
"This is 'Big Brother'. The hot water has now been turned on."
The girls, having got up early, were in the showers before 'Big Brother' had even finished speaking.
A few minutes later, after having argued about what order everyone was going to use the boys showers, Bakura, Marik and Joey were first in.
"Rrr! Why does that stupid mutt get to use the showers first." Kaiba quietly growled in annoyance.
"Ahhh!" Joey came running out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. "Do not go in there!" He screamed, pointing in the direction of the showers.
"What's wrong, Joey?" Yugi asked.
"Is that Pegasus?" Joey asked, pointing at his hallucination.
"Sure," Kaiba said sarcastically, "And there's a monkey surfing down the toilet."
"MONKEY! WHERE?!" Bakura's terrified scream came from inside the bathroom. He and Marik emerged, fully dressed.
"What happened, Joey?" Yugi asked again, ignoring the interruption.
"The water's freezing! There's no hot water!"
"It's your own fault for getting in without testing the water temperature." Seto argued.
"I guess that means we don't get to have showers this morning." Ryou sighed.
The housemate spent most of the day trying to find something to do, other then complaining about the water, except for Bakura who had become slightly paranoid. Lunch (Fruit Salad…yummy yummy!) was made by Tea and Serenity with Joey trying to help – after that everyone decided to make their own food – . In the afternoon Joey continued to sulk about the showers. Malik and Marik wandered around with no real purpose other then to get in the way of everyone. When night came Bakura quickly disappeared into the diary room. Soon after, Marik went to sleep and Yugi decided to risk having a shower. The girls retired to their room, except for Rebecca who had fallen asleep on the lounge. Mokuba slept next to her. Kaiba sat next to them, reading a book he had found. Joey sat at the table eating his dinner. Everyone was doing their own thing…until…
15 minutes later…
