Bakura: So I noticed.
Leo: And you guys are totally boosting my ego...Okay! Here goes my thanks! This is going to be long... Jazhira: The keyword is almost! but in the end the bastard deserved the beating he got! And yes, it is evil to hit a puppy with anything, much less a bat! T.Lei: Again, Ryou and the puppy are a perfect analogy. Happiness's Deceit: I would have made Bakura hurt him worse, but then i would have had to change the rating for burning a character at the stake. And mixed signals are just wonderful for stories like theses! Especially with two stubborn males! Fear of Falling: The puppy part seemed to be every one's favorite part, myself included. And I had to make Bakura kick him again. I know I would have. And yes. I know that was very creepy for me to say...I won't do it again. For MY dignity's sake. And I'm not going to even question what a Banana Fish story is... DojomistressAmbyChan: I love surprises so expect one every now and then. And this story is so much fun to write! Dragonlady222: Yes, jealousy plays a big role in this story...Silly silly boys. Sirithiliel: Well, Bakura didn't kill him ..heh heh...but I guess you enjoyed seeing Bakura kick the crap out of the pharaoh...I would have enjoyed it too... Yoko no Tenchii: Well I post this story often so you won't have to wait too long! Meowsy-chan: Heh, I had fun thinking out those ways for Bakura to kill him. I'm a sick sick person, since it took me all of three seconds to write them out. But hey you enjoyed it. Asaake: It's updated! Yay! Yaoiloverever: I'm glad you liked! YamiMisao: Heh, this chapter won't be nearly as entertaining as the next one but you'll enjoy this one. Her Sweetness: Thank you for the compliments. You guys are puffing up me ego so bad! But I write more as a result, so thank you all! Ryua Malfoy: It's updated, don't send make them send me to that shadow realm! I'll be a good writer! Okay I'm done. whew! On to the chapter now.
Two of the Same Kind Chapter 7
It was agreed. Marik would pick me up at around sevenish. So I had half a day to figure out what the hell I was supposed to do with Akefia. That thought hadn't crossed my mind until I hung up the phone.
I looked over at Akefia who was giving me a death glare. Tch, idiot. For all he knew a 'date' could be like saying 'hey Mariku, let's go sit in the front yard and throw marshmellows at people while eating cotton balls. He had no clue what it meant. Oh and don't eat cotton balls...that's not good for you...Take it from someone who knows...Yes Marik and I DID do that...So? Just because he chases after me relentlessly, doesn't mean that we don't hang out. He's still a freak though, my opinion won't change...Even if he's my best friend...
Guh...I said the evil F word, Anzu would have a field day if she heard that, the little bitch...No, not 'fuck', you moron. I'll say that...It's one of my favorite words...My Ra, why do I keep putting all the friggin periods? I'll stick to one '.' per sentence. I promise...Damn it! So I lied...ANYWAYS, we were talking about the F word. Oh yes I love that word. Ryou hates it when I walk through the store screaming it at the top of my lungs. Oh we were talking about the 'other' F word...that's right. The f-r-i-e-n-d word.
Man, I get off topic so fast don't I? Well, you're not complaining, since you got this far. Congrats to you. Not really, but I thought I'd make the gesture. Ryou says it's good to be nice. I think he's just a goody two shoes. Wait, I just thought of something, how the hell does goody two shoes apply to a nice person? I basically just compared my hikari to a pair of shoes...I wouldn't even compare the pharaoh to a pair of shoes!...Wait, yes I would. Okay never mind.
Alright! Gah! The shit that flows through my mind! Okay, back on subject! Either way I ignored Akefia and walked passed him into the kitchen. I was hungry, so I assumed he had to be too. I knew he would follow and of course, he didn't let me down. I opened the fridge in search of something that I could make for us. For as we all know I'm not the cook extraordinaire.
I quickly noticed a pair of eyes peering over my shoulder. I looked back to see him glaring at...the refrigerator. Yes, he was glaring at the machine of greatness. Of all modern things I respect the fridge most, it stores so much food! So you don't have to waste anything. Now the dishwasher, on the other hand, just pissed me off. I nearly broke my leg after it fell open in the middle of the wash cycle...Boiling water on skin is not fun. Then slipping on the water and cracking your head open on the counter doesn't help either. Okay, so I didn't crack my head open, but I did manage to inflict damage upon my forehead. And who knew Ryou knew how to sew? I didn't even have to go to the hospital!
Well, needless to say Akefia was suspicious of the electronic food preservation box. Didn't that sound cool? I'm going to start calling the fridge that! So, I pulled some things out and began to put together some sandwiches. I can make that with out burning myself. Unless I'm playing with matches at the same time...But that won't happen again because Ryou hid all the fire producing instruments. Although I could probably find them easily.
"So, um...what exactly is this date you spoke of?" He asked sitting down in the chair across from where I was standing. We had one of those long counters that had bar stools on the other side. It's much better than a table in my opinion.
"Oh, with Mariku?" I said using a more pettish sounding name for him. No matter how much you try to convince me, it won't stop me from thinking that 'Mariku' sounds like something you would call him as a pet name.
"Yeah..." Akefia blinked at my change in tone. I was going to see just how far under his skin I could dig. So I spoke with a fondness in my voice...That'll teach him to let the friggin pharaoh kiss him.
"Oh basically it means, he'll take me out to eat. A nice dinner for two. Then maybe a stroll in the park. Rob a store or two, he knows I like that. Then we'll go back to his apartment and probably have hot nasty sex on his kitchen floor."
"WHAT?" I smiled as he shot out of his seat and his hands slamed on the counter top.
"I was kidding, sit down. Well, maybe not about the sex thing...I bet he'd be good...He's a sadistic guy, so he'd probably be into the pain thing. But I'm a masochist so that kinda works..."
I heard a growl and looked up to see his left eye twitching and his fist clenching, unclenching and tightening up again.
"Will you relax, I'm pulling your leg. Though we will probably do everything other than that. He'll try to sneak a kiss, he usually does, even if I kick his ass for it...Even when we're not on a date. He's a good kisser though...I must admit that much."
Oh, the sickening joy I get out of watching him fume. If you think about it, in a sense, I'm enjoying torturing myself. I'm such a sado-masochist. I had to try real hard not to just start laughing.
"What's wrong Akefia? You seem...distressed?" Oh yeah, payback's a bitch. That'll teach you...Damn pharaoh. Damn pharaoh. Damn pharaoh. Yes, I'm not yet over that. Stupid baka pharaoh.
"Nothing." He grumbled as I gave him his sandwhich, which thankfully he didn't question and just started eating it. "I hope you have 'fun' on your little outing." He growled.
"Oh, I probably will." I said idle taking a bite out of my sandwich.
I was seriously contemplating kissing Yami in front of him just to see what he would do to the 'Bastard Pharaoh' (my new name for him), but the thought of me...kissing...that, was enough to make me change my mind. I mean, ew... Yes that was immature, and yes I'm still being immature, but damn...the pharaoh! Why? Why'd he do it? Which now means both pharaohs are after Akefia...fuck.
But that only means he's in the same situation as I am. Only the two people chasing me are runaway mental patients...Well not so much Malik as Marik...But they're both crazier than the pharaohs. And I can't promise that (with out lying this time).
He pulled the silent treatment on me. Damn, I was such a bitch back then. But Fine, I could do it too. I didn't want to talk to him any way! Jealous two timer! Oh...I got to stop that...I making it sound like we were a couple.
I heard the front door open and for lack of better things to do I ventured out. "Hello hikari, welco-" I stoppped when I realized it wasn't my hikari like I'd expected.
Standing in the middle of our living room was the bastard Pharaoh (Yami) himself. He had quite an angry look on his face. He approached me completely throwing caution to the wind. A clear sign he was angry. After all he never goes near me without making sure to guard himself and he never takes his eyes off me...My..do you think he doesn't trust me? I wonder...
"What are you doing here pharaoh!"
He stepped up to me and with out warning his hand flew across my face. Knocking me to the floor. Now I may have played dirtier than him and in the past have been stronger than him, but now I was both smaller and weaker than he was. Okay let me clarify, when Yami got his own separate body, he was taller, not short like he was when he shared Yugi's, now when I got my new body, it stayed the same because Ryou's height is about how tall I was in the past.
And, granted, Yami's not as tall as he was in the past, he's still bigger than I am. And since he got his new body way before I got mine, he was inevitably stronger. Which is my second reason for hating his guts. I was gifted with faster speed and an intelligence level higher than his but that wouldn't help me in a case like this.
He picked me up from the floor and slammed me back into the wall. I cried out as my back hit the wooden strip that goes along the wall, halfway between the floor and ceiling. You know, one of those decorative things?
"You try that again thief and I promise, you'll live to regret it. I don't care how much that offended you, if you attack Atemu again I'll take that damn ring and smash it into pieces, go ahead and try me."
"Get your hands off him you Bastard Pharaoh." I heard Akefia's growling and turned my head to see him standing at Yami's side with a kitchen knife against the back of his neck.
Yami backed up, the angry look in his eyes didn't fade. He was not afraid of Akefia, but he was aware that Akefia would kill him if he didn't back up. He turned away, brushed passed Akefia and headed for the front door. As he opened the door and walked out, he turned to cast a glance at us.
"Remember what I said, I'd hate to have to add you to my list of destroyed souls1."
He shut the door behind him and I slumped against the wall.
"What was that all about?" Akefia asked.
"He was angry becuase I attacked Atemu. And he thought he'd come and tell me in person..."
"Are you okay?"
"My back hurts, but i'm okay." I said looking up as the door opened again. This time it was my hikari who walked in.
"What happened? Why did Yami just walked out of here?"
"It's nothing hikari. Can can you do me a favor?"
"Depends on what it is..."
"Can you watch Akefia tonight."
"Why aren't you going to be here?" He gave my the confused look. I would have said innocent look, but every look he gives is innocent, so there's not purpose in mentioning it.
"Because I have a date with Marik," I laughed nervously.
1 In season one, Yami kinda took no pity on people...And just mind crushed anyone who he thought deserved it, so that's what his list of destroyed souls refers to...
Leo: Yay! Another chappy! I'll make this short since it's starting to storm and I want to get this up! Bye bye til next time! R&R for me! Bakura and Akefia: ...:hugs the readers:...
