"talk"

"thought"

"this is working perfectly." Bakura sneered, "he grows weaker by the day. We just need to keep pushing."

"you're right." Malik said from his place on the couch, "I don't think he'll last much longer."

"I can't take this anymore Yugi!" Atem whined. With a heavy sigh he fell back onto Yugi's bed as said person followed him into the room, "my life sucks."

Yugi gave a sad smile to his cousin, "then just stay home the next time we go out."

Atem sighed once more, turning to face Yugi, "As mush as I would love to do that, I can't."

"Why not?" Yugi asked confusedly.

"Because if I don't show up they'll know it's me." Atem replied, "they're already suspicious, that's why they've spent every spare moment with us. They're trying to weaken me . . . and it's working." Atem sighed for, what seemed like, the millionth time that day. "I'm sorry Yugi"

Yugi blinked, the softly whispered words barely reaching his ears, "for what?"

"For getting you into this."

Next Day

"Morning guys" Yugi greeted cheerfully when he spotted his friends, and Bakura and Malik, at the park.

"Morning Yugi" Joey replied, his eyebrows rising slightly in surprise when he saw a pearl white cat with crimson following after him.

"Where's Atem?" Tea asked also spotting the cat.

"Atem decided to sleep in. He stayed up really late last night." Yugi replied glancing quickly at the cat, before picking it up, "so I decided to bring Amen instead."

Bakura and Malik smirked evilly to one another, "Aww he's so cute!" Malik all but squealed, "can I pet him please!"

"not on my dead body." Amen thought, growling at Malik as he advanced.

"i don't think he likes you very much Malik" Bakura snickered at the pouting, but inwardly smirking, blonde.

"come on lets go" Tristan suggested.

Throughout the day the group did various things, and all the while Bakura and/or Malik tried to get near the cat, but it seemed to realize this and so it stayed away from them.

"This is getting ridiculous" Malik growled softly. He looked over at their target, who was being pet by some little kids, "can't we just grab him and go."

"Be patient Malik, we'll get him." Bakura smirked, "and I know just how, too."

Malik saw the smirk on his partners face, and couldn't help wondering what sort of plan was forming in his brain. "alright"

Meanwhile, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan had gone to get some ice-cream, leaving Joey with Yugi's cousin.

"Just look at them over their Amen, " Joey murmured, spotting Bakura and Malik from the corner of his eye. Amen, who was curled beside him on the grass, was also watching them his tail stiffly sweeping over the grass, "what do ya' think they're talkin 'bout?"

Amen growled a bit, his muscles tensing, just as Bakura smirked. Joey seemed to understand what that meant and nodded.

"we'll stop 'em, whatever they're planning, don't worry." Amen nodded to that, meowing.

Joey was talking to a cat *snicker*

Is that one of the signs of going crazy?

anyway, please review and tell me what ya think. :)
