Chapter the fifth
Bakura was soooooo mad.He was extremely mad.Rex was moaning and groaning--all just to get attention."My head hurts......"He griped.He grabbed a dinosaur toy that Mai had gotten him and threw it against the wall."Rex."She said gently."Stop it.You know I don't want to have to clean up when we leave."She sighed,and turned to Bakora,whos arms were crossed as he sat on the chair."Whats wrong?"She asked. "I'm sad."Bakora said simply. "Not you too!!"Mai protested."I'm tired of hearing whining!!"Rex let out a long,perilous whine.Mai turned to him."What now?"She asked. "I want my dino."Mai crossed the room and gave it to Rex.She put his blacnket over him. "Now go to sleep."She demanded."And do it now.The sooner you get better,the sooner we can leave."She clicked off the TV and sat in the large chair by Bakora. "Wanna play cards?"He asked."I have Pokemon Cards."Mai nodded."That might be fun."Bakora split his deck in half.He gave the top half to mai and the bottem half to himself."Let's not use any energys or prizes,OK?"He said."Lets just see who runs out of pokemon first."Mai nodded and drew her first card.This is what it said: Vulpix.HP:40 it's attack was confuse ray.That took off ten.it only had one attack. Bakora drew Squirtle. SQUIRTLE.HP:40 Its attack was bubble.Its took off ten. "You go first."Bakora told Mai."OK."She said."I use this Confuse Ray."Bakora nodded."I use this bubble." They kept on useing the attacks until Bakora's squirtle was demolished.He was letting Mai win.He didn't tell her about his type advantage. Suddenly,a voice piped up."He's letting you win."Rex said."He has a type advantage." Mai looked at Bakora."Should you have won that round?"She asked.Bakora pretended to just remember."Oh!!"He said."I-guess I--did win--uh,that one,OK?" Mai nodded and dicarded her Vulpix.Bakora glared at Rex,who was grinning.(Mokuba had been asleep.)
"This tastes really good."Yugi said,taking a sip of Kaiba's Orange juice.Kaiba nodded.His nose was stuck in a 1970's novel by Charles Dickens called "Great Expectations." "Is that a good book?"Asked Yugi.He took another drink of the juice.Kaiba nodded once again.He loved to read but wasn't a nerd.Yugi picked up a game controller,clicked on the machine,and began to play.Music filled the room."Could you turn that down?"Kaiba rasped."I'm trying to read."It was up so loud,Yugi didn't hear.He began to pet the cat."Did you hear me?"Asked Kaiba.Yugi still failed to answer.Kaiba was about to yell at the top of his lungs when his phone rang. "Hello?"He asked."Seto speaking."He intwined the cord in his fingers.Mai answered. "Hello,Seto.I just needed to talk to you--why did you leave?"Kaiba wasn't intierly prepeared to answer a question like that. "because."He said."I just did.Thats the only answer I'm going to give.Take it or leave it." Tehre was a long silence at the end of the phone. "How's Yugi?"Kaiba relaxed,knowing the subject was changed. "He's fine.Right now he's being irritating."Kaiba heard Mai yell at Bakura on the other end of the line. Yugi turned off the machine.He got up and stretched.He took a drink of his juice and headed for the kitchen. "Hey Mai."kaiba said."How's your lip?I didn't mean to hit you so vilontly.It just makes me very mad when a person of a stature under my own strikes me."Kaiba scratched the back of his head. Mai grunted."And who said I was under your stature?"Kaiba paused."Um....How's Mokuba?" Mai glanced at him."He was playing his Gameboy but now him and Rex are watching a Dinosaur Movie.He's fine." Kaiba was hurt that Mokuba would be OK when he was gone. "Does he miss me?" "I think." "Oh.Well,tell him I'll be back later." "Why don't you just talk to him?" "OK." Kaiba waited as the phone was given to Mokuba. "Hello?"Asked Mokuba.I was a rude sort of tone and Kaiba could tell Moku didn't want to be talking on the phone right now. "it's Seto."Kaiba said."Whats up?" Mokuba was silent for a second. "So.....what is it you wanted?"Kaiba was shocked.How dare him!! Kaiba fought back an urge to scream at Mokuba so loud the phone exploded. "Um.....I wanted to talk to my little brother,if thats OK with you!!" "OK....so......why did you go away?It has to do with a girl,right?Rex told me all about those.He said every girl is trash,but I coulden't hear the rest because Mai screamed at Rex."Mokuba laughed childlike. "No....."Kaiba replied."I just had to....do...something." "OK."Said Mokuba.Kaiba heard Mokuba drop the phone."Whoops!!!"He said and picked it up."Are you still there,Seto?"He asked.When Kaiba saidyes,Mokuba dropped the phone again. "Still?"He asked.Kaiba said yes,and the same thing happened.Ity happened 5 more times."You want me to get off the phone,right?"Kaiba sighed.Mokuba just dropped the phone.Kaiba hung up. He walked in the kitchen,where Yugi was eating Bugles and drinking apple juice. "Hi,Kaiba!!"He said exitedly."Hello...."Kaiba said.Yugi wasd acting happy and sad at the same time.He would say something,then look down sheepishly. "Whats wrong?"Asked Kaiba,throwing a ball for the cat. "As if you didn't know!!"Yig snapped."Tea's dead.Just like that." Kaiba pushed a hand over his mouth."Oh...."He remembered.He grabbed some chips and bit one hard.He cried out when he bit a cheek.Yugi lauighed."Whats wrong?"He asked.Kaiba pointed to his mouth and rinsed it out.He ran at top speed into the elevator and up to his room.Yugi followed,his mouth full of sandwich.Kaiba slipped and fell on a peice of paper.He crashed into his computer,knocking the disks everywhere.A glass figure cracked on his head and broke."Hey,I gave that to you!!"Yugi said,as Kaiba hit the ground. "Um.....are you OK?"Yugi picked up a glass of water to give to Kaiba,but dropped it,right on his face. Kaiba got up to snarl at Yugi,but tripped over the cat.He fell and hit his chin on the ground. "Boy, are we a clutz today."Yugi said.Kaiba snarled."You are so dumb."He said,and got up.He saw on the ground Bakura's pallet where he was sleeping the night he stayed.Kaiba's eyes caught on a note on the mirror.It was in girlish handwriting.He read it.
Dear Kaiba, I borrowed 700 dollers.
He crumpled it."Tea!!!"Yugi said.He collapsed and went into convulsions.Kiaba uncrumpled it and stared at the handwriting.Tea was a girl.A helpless,defensless,strengthless girl.She had no WAY of defending herself against a gun.Almost no one did.It wasn't any fault of weakness;or even fear.It was no one but the murderer's fault,and thats why Kaiba had to find him.
Bakura had defeated Mai horribly."I guess you...won...."She said.Bakora hated it,but he nodded.Mokuba's eyes fluttered open."You were playing Pokemons....and you didn't wake me up?"He kneeled down in the floor and grabbed some of Bakora's cards.Rex was snoring loudly,so Bakora could manage to at least let Mai win 1 or 2 rounds.Mai tossed the cards."Its just a game anyway."She said.She looked at the clock just as a nurse waltzed in."Hello Mokuba."She cooed soflty.She thought he was very adorible."Hello,you old bat."Moku replied.The nurse pretended she hadn't heard. She woke up Rex."Hellloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."Rex said."Im awake now.You can put a shot in me,and you can cut me,but you will never,ever rob me of my dignity." Everyone looked at him. "Rex."Bakora said."Did what you just said make any sence to you?"Rex shrugged.The nurse took his blood pressure."OK."She said."Rex,what would you like for lunch?" "A large chef salad,caviar,a giant blue whale,and the world's largest manacotti.Why do you ask?" The nurse just put him down for "Grilled Cheese."
*** When l lunch came,Rex was very angry."I wanted all the stuff I said!!"he ordered.The nurse rolled her eyes,and was about to walk out."Oh,the doctor says Rex can go home any time today." Mai and Bakura jumped up and down.They were glad to get out,however,Rex wasn't.He loved being the center of attention,which he was on the air,but now while he wasn't a DJ.He was just plain old Rex. "Let's go home!"Bakura said."Right now!!Let's go!!Let's go!!"Bakura ran out the door.Rex got out of bed,brining a wave of dizziness."I think I'll take a shower before we go."He said,and walked into the bathroom.Mai noded and went to stay outside with Bakura. When Rex got in the shower,the water was way too hot.He turned on the cold water one and it got to cold.The water was so out of proprtion he just decided he'd take a bath. The water in the bath was cold,but he managed. When he got out and got dressed,he looked at his head injury in the mirror.There was a big purple bump on his head.There were stitches running across it,but it was covered by his hair.Rex could hear Mokuba playing with toys in the room.He could hear bangs and noises Mokuba was making for the airplane.Rex waltzed out of the bathroom,just as Mokuba threw a toy jet plane at the bathroom door.It sailed toward Rex.He ducked at just the right time. Mokuba had been in the middle of saying,'Housten we have a problem',But it came out,"Housten,we have a--oh,no........"He was glad Rex ducked.Rex picked up the plane."What do you think your doing?"He asked in an angry voice."What is this?"His voice was sharp and mean.He could see tears welling up in Moku's eyes. Rex just grabbed Mokuba's backpack and arm and drug him outside,where Mai and Bakura were.Bakura was turned around. "Please tell me what happened to your arm?"Mai said."Please?"Bakura woulden't say anything. when Rex walked out with Mokuba,Mai was happy because they could go now. As soon as they got out,Mai relized they were going to have a little trouble riding on one horse with four people.Princess was the only one left.Mocha had gone with Kaiba and Yugi. "We need to just leave this horse here."Mai whispered to Rex,who nodded.But Moku overheard. "NO!!!!!+_+ Mokuba cried.He grabbed Princess."I can take her,YOU can walk."Said the selfish child.He got on Princess and started to go.Mai ran after him,but Bakura and Rex weren't so insistant on following. "If I hadn't promised my best friend I'd watch him i would ditch him in a second."Bakura mumbled.Rex nodded.
"You are getting crackers all over the floor!!"Kaiba shouted.Yugi was up in the corner.A cracker crumb fell from his mouth on to Kaiba's shoe.Kaiba was so fed up that he drew back his hand and slapped Yugi with all his might.Yugi was thrown back with the force,and instantly,a red welt appeared.Visible was a large Kaiba handprint. Kaiba started to laugh hestariccly.(If Kaiba wasn't so cute I'd find it rather hard to like him) To his suprise,so did Yugi."Joeys dead....."Kaiba suddenly said.They both stopped laughing. "So is Tea....."Yugi said.He barfed all over Mokuba's bed. "Oh no!!!"Kaiba said."Mokuba loves his GI Joe blanket!!Your in trouble!!"Kaiba ran his hand over a part that wasn't barfed on. "Get to the bathroom."He said.Yugi ran to the bathroom.He sat down in a chair at his desk.On it was a picture of Mokuba,Mai,Yugi,and in the front,him and Bakura.On the other side was a picture of Mai at her cousin's wedding.She looked rediculous in a white dress.Matter of fact,she looked rediculous in anything to Kaiba.Kaiba took out his Domino High yearbook.He turned to his homeroom class.On a big picture,it showed his pinch-faced old teacher,Mrs.Sweeny.They called her,'Mrs.Sweeny the Weeny.'Kaiba laughed at her.Her nose was large and her face blotched.Kaiba looked down at the peoples in the book under the teecher. first was Ryou Bakura.He looked rather worried in the picture.His mouth was in an 'o' shape,and he was looking off to the side.Next was Yugi Motou,who had a normal silly smile and the same blue jacket on as always.Next was Kaiba.He wasn't smiling.He just looked normal.(Cute!) Mokuba must have once been really mad at Kaiba,because Kaiba's picture was crossed out,and next to it in red ink said,'I hate my brother!!I only like me!!' Kaiba's eyes widened and he looked at the next pic.It was Rex Raptor.He had his normal,wide eyed,crazy grin.He looked as ugly and crazy as normal.(Rex was very ugly.) Next was Tristan Taylor,a Friend of Yugi's and used to be Joey's.He had brown,spiky hair,and a long black trenchcoat.He wasn't very attractive.Next was Mai Valentine.She looked normal but had a shimmery flower in her hair.it wasn't that big.There was a BIG Heart around her head."Bakura must have done that."Kaiba thought.Next at the bottem were Joey Wheeler and Tea gardener.Kaiba marked a R.I.P over thier faces and closed the book.He opened up a book of Moku's baby pics.On the front was something Mokuba wrote.It looked like his name.It was sloppy and boyish handwriting.Mokuba was what it looked like. On the front was when Mokuba was about 1.He had thick black hair and was wearing overalls. His hands were over his head and he was smiling.Next to it was a 7 year old Kaiba.He was very cute.He had dark brown hair and wore a red bow tie. He was smiling.Kaiba flipped ahead.There was a pic of 5 year old Moku and 12 year old Kaiba.Mai,Joey,Bakura,and Yugi were also twelve in the pic. "Mai was alot prettier back then."Kaiba said.He pulled out the pic and replaced it with the recent one of Mai at the wedding.Bakura's hair was alot shorter then.Yugi still had fat cheeks and was too short for his age.Kaiba drew a mustache on the recent Mai. Mai looked prettier because she wasn't wearing hooker aparrel and and she wasn't doused in makeup.The only thing wrong,to Kaiba,was that she was almost flat chested.Kaiba didn't like that. Joey looked extremely cute when he was young.His hair was brown,not blonde,and he didn't talk like a punk. the last picture in the book was of Bakora and some girl.(He had flipped ahead there) Kaiba had no idea who the girl was.She was hot,though.He cut her out and threw away the Bakora because it was making a strange face.He flipped over the girl.It was Sasha,the one Bakora had broken up with.He threw it away. Kaiba decided to call Bakoo.He dialed the #. "Hello?"Asked Bakura's accent. "Its Seto."Said Kaiba,in his scratchy voice. "Hi.Im about to die."said Bakoo.Kaiba was about to ask why,but he didn't have to.He heard Mai singing in the background. "That's enough to make even Ariel off the little mermaid die!!"Said Kaiba."Yeah."Bakura said,agreeing.Everyone knows Ariel likes to sing. Rex's singing lessons hadn't worked much.Kaiba could hear Rex shouting instructions out to her and Mokuba laughing his head off. "Could you tell her her singing stinks?"Asked Kaiba."Its killing me." "No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Bakoo said."She might get mad!!!!" "So?"Kaiba said."Maybe you should just tell her real gently,like maybe request something else." "Like what?"Bakora asked.Mai hit a sour note. "Uhhhh......How about eating strawberries?" "No."Bakora said."I have a better idea." Kaiba heard him call Mai in the background.He heard her stop singing and laugh.The singing never came back. "What did you say?"Asked Kaiba. "I didn't say anything."Bakora said."She just saw my face and laughed!!"Kaiba heard Rex start laughing. "You....have....a.....rrrrooooooock......up.....your......HA HA HA HA HA HA~!!!"Kaiba heard Mokuba say. Bakora brought his hand up to his face. "THERES A ROCK UP MY NOSE!!" He said,and the phone hung up. Kaiba threw it on the bed.Yugi was out of the bathroom and looking through a photo album. "I remember this!!"He said."This is when you puked after riding The Mexican Hat at Six Flags!!"Yugi started to laugh.There was a pic of Kaiba with a very green face on it.Kaiba was very mad.He made Yugi shut up.
Where were we going again?"Rex asked."We can't go home.Kaiba doesn't want Mokuba to know where he went."Mokuba coughed 3 times."Where did Seto go?"He asked.He coughed again. Rex shrugged."Only.....Mai knows that."Mai looked at Rex with a deadly look. "Seto is buying a nice new horsey for you,Mokuba."Mai said."It will be dazzling and white,with a big brown spot!!!" Mokuba coughed."WOWWWWWWWW!!!!"He said."A new horsey!!It will be so fast it races against all the other horseys!!!In that case,I don't nedd Princess!!!"Mokuba threw a stick at Princess,and she ran into the woods. "Mokuba."Rex said."I could have rode on that."Mokuba shrugged."Stuff happens."He said,and coughed. "Whats wrong with you?"Asked Bakura.Mokuba shrugged again."I'm not sure.I think its just summer dust."He wiped a sleeve across his head. Bakora walked over to Mai."Does his cough sound a little.....weird to you?"He asked. Mai nodded."Its sounds creepy like it has alot of snot in it."Bakora made a face. "Is that bad?"He asked.Mai scratched her head."I don't know."She said."We'll see what happens." She glanced at Rex,who was telling Moku more fantasies about the dazzling horse. "He's so good with little kids,don't you think?"Mai asked.Bakora nodded."I guess." Mokuba went into a coughing fit."Im OK."He said afterwards."Its just dust,like I said." "Lets set up camp."Rex said."Im tired."
* * *
"And then,they lived happily ever after."Said Mai,finishing bedtime story about a princes and prince for Mokuba.He yawned,and coughed."Are you sure you're OK?"Mai asked,putting her hand on his head."You don't feel warm,but if you need me or Rex or Bakura tonight just wake us up,OK?"Mokuba nodded and rolled over."G'night."He said.Mai waltzed over to Bakora and Rex,who were looking at a teenage girl's magazine."This is sooooooo dumb."Rex said."Who cares what your hair looks like or what type of lotion you use?" Bakura was only interested in the posters of models."Who's this--J.Lo person?"He asked."I wonder if she's got a boyfriend?"Mai grabbed the magazine."Be quiet."She snapped."Mokubas tryin to sleep,and its late." Bakora nodded and yawned.They heard Mokuba cough over in his area.Mai layed down in her sleeping bag,which was in the middle of Rex and Bakura's.She started lookin at the magazine herself.Bakora leaned over and looked at it too.He saw an add for Tampons and turned away. "See."Mai said."I told you not to read it."She closed it and rolled over.Bakora rolled over to go asleep,but he heard Mai dialing on the phone."Who are you calling at this hour?"He asked.Mai grunted."Kaiba.I'm gonna tell him about Mokuba's coughing." Bakora nodded and rolled back over,while Mai kept the phone to her ear.After two rings she heard a groggly,"Hello?Im trying to sleep,so if its not an emergancy--" "Hello,Its Mai."Mai said,irritated."Your brother.He's sick or somthing.He's coughing alot." Kaiba yawned as Mokuba coughed."Wow.It sounds pretty bad."He said."Yes."Mai agreed.She heard something and looked over in Mokuba's corner.He was getting up."Hes getting up."She said."OK."Said Kaiba."What wrong with him?" "I dont feel so well...."Mokuba said."He doens't feel good."Mai explained. "Does he have a fever?"Asked Kaiba. Mai felt his head."Yeah."She said."His head is pretty warm.Ill get him some tea."Mokuba coughed again.She noticed he was having alot of trouble breathing. "Uh....Kaiba,I think you better come check it out."Mai said."Ill wet him down,give him some tea and help him feel better.Take your time,OK?" "OK."Kaiba said."Where are you.Ill be there as fast as I can." "We're at the feild just in front of your house." "OK."Kaioba said,and hung up. "Seto will be here in a second."Mai said."How do you feel?" "Bad." "How?" "I just feel bad." Mai gave him an advil."This will help with the fever."She said.She wet a rag and put it on Mokuba's head.He coughed a couple of times.Bakora and Rex were snoring.Mokuba sighed and layed down on Mai's sleeping bag.He was asleep very fast. They were waiting about 5 minutes more when Kaiba appeared.He was wearing his school uniform. "He's asleep."He declared,and kneeled down beside him.Mai nodded."He was very tired." Kaiba felt Mokubas head and his eyes widened."I left Yugi at the house."Kaiba said."But it looks like I need to stay,at least for tonight." Mai nodded.Mokuba coughed,waking him up."Hello,Seto."He smiled up at him. "Mokuba,how do you feel?"Asked Kaiba.Mai gave Mokuba a cup of tea. "I feel pretty bad.Its kinda hard to breath,my head hurts and I just dont feel good."Kaiba layed down by Mokuba."Ill wait until you finish your tea and then take your temperature."Kaiba said.Mokuba nodded. By the time Mokuba's tea was finished,Kaiba was asleep."Ill take your temperature."Mai said."Leave kaiba alone."She covered him up with a blanket.Kaiba snuggled up with the blanket. She took him tempie.It was 102.3.Not very high."OK."She said."The Advil should work later.Go to sleep by Kaiba.Ill ask Rex if I can sleep at the foot of his sleeper.Its pretty big." So she did.
Kiaba woke up to the smell of sausage.Mai was cooking on a protable grill.His brother,Rex and Bakura were still asleep.Kaiba rose."Um....did you check on Mokuba?"He asked Mai.She turned around. "Oh!!Yes,I did.His temperature is about the same,which isn't good.The advil should've taken it down."Kaiba nodded.He grabbed a peice of sausage and ate it. "This is....pretty good."He said.Mai nodded."I went to cookin class."Kaiba didn't say anything.He turned as Moku coughed. "He'll be fine."Mai said.Kaiba drummed on the table.Bakura opened his eyes and decided to watch and not say anything. "Thanx for takin care of Mokuba."Said Kaiba."Sometimes,he can be a little brat.More like most of the time." Mai nodded and hummed a song. After a while she started to sing it faintly to herself.Kaiba was quite sure it was going to be horrible.But,it wasn't.It was excellent!! "How did you learn to sing like that?"Blurted Kaiba.The loud volume startled Mai."Um....Rex taught me."She said."How did you learn how to take care of children?"
"Rex." "How did you learn to cook?" "Rex again." "Drum?" "One guess." "Oh........."Kaiba said.His unsuccesfull attempts to start a conversation were rather imbarrasing. Bakora went back asleep. "D-do you like.......food?"Asked Kaiba.Mai stared."Well,if I didnt,I wouldent be so fat." Kaiba didn't know what to say."Um.....Your not fat."He said."I think.I mean,I hope.I mean,are you?" Mai was puzzled. "Ok......"Kaiba mumbled to himself."Do you like......Bakora?" Mai shook her head."As a friend."She replied."He can be annoying the way he talks too much,and I just dont think hes attractive."Kaiba nodded.It was almost a conversation!! "I like.......duel monsters."He said."Its really cool."Mai nodded."I have a Harpes Lady." "I have Blue Eyes." "Do you know a stratigy to beat Blue Eyes?"Asked Mai."With a Harpes Lady?" Kaiba thought."Of course I do.But you don't think I'm going to tell you,right?" "Oh,come on!!I could never beat three blue eyes!!I just want to know how to beat one!!" Kaiba considered."Oh,all right.The key is........" (The converstation went on for hours.)
Bakura was mad at Kaiba."I didnt DO anything!!"Kaiba said."What did I do?" "Your trying to STEAL Mai!!"He said."Steal her away.Just to make me mad."Kaiba laughed."No way!!!No way no way!!I dont even like Mai!!" "Oh,sure.Thats just selfish LIES!!!!"Kaiba was getting mad. "OK,Bakoo,do you really wanna know?She doesn't even like you!!She says your annoying and not attractive!!!!! Bakura was very hurt.Very very hurt.He looked at Mai,who was helping Mokuba wash his hands at the pond.Kaiba stormed off to talk to Mokuba.Rex was sitting up. "Whoa."He said."I thought Kaiba was your bestest friend ever!!!"Bakora shook his head."Not anymore.We're fighting.Have you ever fought?Its not that fun.When my parents fight,they throw dishes and stuff and daddys punch holes in walls.Its scary for children." Rex nodded."Uh.....yeah....I guess.....But...uh....Why are you fightin' for?" "I forget."Bakora said.He just didnt want to tell Rexie.Kaiba,on purpose,splashed some water on Bakora's face.Bakora wiped his face and snorted. "Mokuba do you feel better?"Asked Kaiba.Mokuba nodded and coughed.His cough didn't sound so bad anymore.Mokuba splashed in the water with his arms."I wanna go swimmin'!!"He yelled at the top of his lungs. Kaiba had to think because he was sick and if it was too cold he might catch phenumonia.But,it was ninety degrees out there,and Kaiba resolved that MOkuba was in no danger,so he said yes. "YAYYYYYYY!!!"Mokuba said."Did you hear that,Mai?Kaiba says I can go swimmin'!!!"Mokuba grabbed his pants to go put them on to swim in and ran under his sleeping bag. "You're stupid."Bakora said."He could get sicker because the waters cold."He had a sneer on his face. "Since when did you care about anyone but yourself?"Rex shot to Bakura.Bakura looked at Rex with peircing eyes,but Rex just whistled."I didn't hear anything."He said."Its just the wind.Gee,it almost sounds like its saying things!!!"Rex bolted off into the tent. Mokuba bolted out of his sleeping bag.He was wearing NO shirt and his jeans.He ran at full speed and jumped into the water.It splashed all around him.Kaiba grabbed some shorts and went to get dressed behind a tree,and Mai had just put on her bakini and she went into the water with Mokuba.Bakura liked that Bakini and decided he would go swimming to,so he went into the tent with Rex.Rex had swimming shorts on that were lime green with a purple dinosaur on the right leg.Rex ran out of the tent and dived into the water just as Kaiba came out. Bakura was a little embarrased to come out because even though his face was handsome,his body was not.He was skinny and had NO abs or arm muscles.Rex didnt have that many,but hey,it was more than Bakura had. When Bakura came out,Rex had to go underwater to keep from laughing.Mai and Kaiba were teaching Mokuba how to swim.He was scared and was thrashing."Stop it."Kaiba growled.Mai got a mouthfull of water in her face.Bakura swam over to Kaiba and Mai. "Hellooo....."He said faintly.He tried to ignore Mokuba's crying.Mokuba splashed Kaiba in the face.Kaiba went underwater.Bakura thought he was trying to get away,and was happy.But he was wrong.Kaiba came up right beside Bakura and dunked his head under the water!!! Mai giigled and laughed.Bakura came up with his hair looking like a mop.It was in his face. "How about some ugly hair to go with your ugly mug?"Asked Kaiba,laughing very hard.He shoved a wet,slimy fish down Bakura's swimming trunks.Mai swam off to play with Rex. rex was pounding a crab flat on a big rock with his bare hands.The crab pinched him on his thumb. "I'll teach you!!"Rex cried,and threw it against the wall.The shell cracked.The crab died. Rex stuck his thumb in his mouth.Mai grabbed another crab and punched it.It went spinning away. It hit the wall,and cracked.They were having so much fun that Mokuba decided to come.He grabbed a minnow and smashed it between his fingers.Fish guts were all over him. "Mokuba!!!"Kaiba shouted,and ran over to him."Wash that off!!No more playing with deseased fish!!" "No!!"Mokuba said."I won't!!Im scared of going underwater to wash off!!!" Kaiba gritted his teeth and grabbed Mokuba by the middle.He dunked him underwater for three seconds.Mokuba came out clean,but he was crying."That was mean."Said Rex.Mai nodded.She looked over at Bakura,who was talking to some guy at the beach shore.It was a seagull. Mai rolled her eyes. "Look!!"Mokuba said,and he grabbed a seagull egg."Mokuba,be careful!!"Kaiba said.Mokuba wasn't.The egg smashed in his hand."OH NO!!"Mokuba said."I murdered a birdie!!Oh,no........"Mokuba started to cry again."Its OK."Said Rex."There are plenty more fish in the sea." "But it wasnt a fish!!It was a bird!!""Whatever....."Rex said."Im getting out.Im cold and these crabs make me mad."He grabbed a towl and walked away.Bakura was already sitting at camp. Mai decided to get out too."Lets get out,Moku."Kaiba said.Mokuba shook his long,black hair like a dog."No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He said."I wont.I wont I wont I wont I wont I wont......." "Alright,Mokuba,now lets just get out...." "I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT........ "Mokuba,Im warning you......." "I wont I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT....." "Mokuba,If you dont get out....." "I WONT i wont i wont i wont!!" "MOKUBA,IF YOU DONT GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF THE WATER RIGHT NOW,ILL BOX YOUR EARS AND GIVE YOU YOUR HEAD FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!" Mokuba,trembling,went out of the water.Rex,Bakura and Mai had just frozen hearing Kaiba's yell.Bakura decided he was scared.He hid his head under his sleeping bag. Rex put his shirt(s) on.It took a long time becuse he wers two vests and a shirt!!!He looks like a paleontologist!!!!! He put back on his snowhat."Rex,why is your bangs purple?"Mai asked."And the rest of your hair brown?" "I dont know.I was born that way." "OK....."Mai said."Whatever."Rex was sad that people didn't like his hair and most people said he was ugly.He thought that only about 10 out of every thousand people in the world had a Rex Raptor poster on their wall thinking he was hot,because he certainly wasn't too attractive.He wasn't nearly as ugly as Bones,though.The only reason he was famous was because he DJ'd a famous station and because he had an extrordinary voice.It was very loud and rough,like it came from his throat completly. "Am I ugly?"Rex asked Kaiba."Uh.....um...it depends...on..what you..consider....you know.....ugly." Rex was sad."Bakura,am I ugly?"He asked Bakura."Well,compared to me....." Rex was sadder."Mai,am I ugly?"He asked.She really didnt think he was handsome she just liked his personality."Um,no,Rex,your not....." Rex smiled."Mokuba,am I ugly?"Mokuba smiled and laughed. "Yes You are!!Your the ugliest person ever!!"Mokuba was little and didn't know it would hurt Rex's feelings,but it did. Rex didnt cry,but he was awfully sad.It was about only the 2nd time in this whole story he didnt wear a smile. "Mokuba!!"Kaiba shouted."That was really mean!!" "Well he is.He's uglier than Weevil Underwood!!!"Mai thought."Actually,Weevil's pretty handsome." Kaiba and Bakura laughed."Yeah!!!"Bakura said."Weevil Underwood handsome.Your making us laugh,Mai." Mai growled."Watch,Ill call him,right here,right now!!!" "Yeah right,Mai.You lie." Mai took out a phone and dialed a number."Hello,Operator?Could I get Weevil Underwoods phone number please?"Mai wrote somethin' down and clciked off the phone.Then,she dialed another number.Rex decided he didn't care if he was ugly or not. "Hello?"Mai heard on the other line."Hello."Mai said."Can I talk to WEEVIL?" "yes,this is Weevil." "Hi,Weevil.Im Mai Valentine and I think your handsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Bye."Weevil said and was about to hang up. "Wait!!Don't!!"Mai cried."Don't hang up!!" "Well,what do you want?Im a busy man!!" They kept on talking. "This could go on for hours on."Mokuba said."And Rex,I'm sorry if you didn't want to hear the solid truth."Rex shruged."It don't bother me.At least I'm famous."Kaiba waltzed up."Well, IM rich." "So am I."Mokuba said.Bakura shrugged."Im handsome."He said."More handsome than Kaiba.More handsome than Rex(Of course),and More handsome than Mokuba.More handsome than Yugi,more handsome than Joey.More handsome than Pegasus(Of course),more handsome than Weevil." "Ok....."Kaiba said."Im handsome." "In your dreams." Kaiba growled.He glanced over at Mai,who was still talking to Weevil on the phone. "Well,what about HER?"He asked."Are you more handsome than her?" "Im more handsome than anybody." "Barney is a Dinosaur." "Rex,shut up." "Why dont you?" "Because I dont want to." Rex grabbed a dinosaur figure.It had blood dripping from its plastic sharp teeth."I used its teeth to spay my cat."Rex said."They used to be alot sharper.The cat died later.I thought I did good,but I guess not." Kaiba,bakura and Mokuba were all staring at Rex.
"Uh....I think we should get going."He said. Kaiba nodded."But to where?"He asked.Rex shrugged."We could just.....go home?" Mokuba rattled his head."No way!!"He said."We can't!!Tea and Joey is dead,Remember?" Bakura sighed."Well,thanks for brighteneing up the scene,Mokuba."He said. Mokuba jutted out his tongue,which was rather long,sorta like a giraffe's. "Hey Mai,are you done talkin' yet?"Asked Rex."We're goin' away from here." Mai waved a hand to shut him up."NO!!!!!"Rex said."Hang up on Weevil,right now!!" Mai shook her head."No............."She said."We are on a really interesting conversation about silver and gold." Rex grabbed the phone away from Mai's hands,which grabbed at it trying to get it back.Rex hanged up the phone. "Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!"Mai shouted."I was having such a pleasent conversation!!I'll never go with you!Never ever!!!"Mai let out a wail of anguish. Rex grabbed her by the hair."You'll come or I'll rip your hair out." Mai grabbed her hair strand from Rex."I'll never go.Never.I'll sit in this feild forever and rot down to my Bones!!"She sat on a rock."Speaking of Bones,where'd that guy go?" Kaiba shurgged."Yugi DID say something about him stealing his mellinium puzzle." Bakura grabbed his Mellinium Ring."I always thought the items made us look really really gay." "Bakora,you sound really really Gay."Mokuba replied.Bakura shut up. Kaiba grabbed Mai's arm."Come on."He said."Lets go!!"She sat there like a boulder."I'll only come if you bring me.....bring me.....Weevil Underwood!!!" Everyone was amazed."No way!!!"Rex said."He's working some place all the way by the airport!!We'll never make it back in just a day or two!!!!!" Mai shook her head."I won't come with you,or eat,until you bring me Weevil." "How about we just leave her?"Sugested Rex. "No,we just can't do that!!"Bakura said."We have to bring back Weevil for her!!!!" Kaiba and Mokuba and Rex stared."Shut up."Kaiba said."Mokuba is recovering from sickness and you want to go all the way there?I think me and Mokuba wil just go home while you go on this wild goose chase!!"Kaiba grabbed Mokuba's arm to take him home. "No!!"Mokuba said."I want to go find Weevil with them!!"Kaiba shook his head."You are just a little kid,and I make the orders around here.Now come on!!!"He grabbed Mokuba by the ear and started to drag him.Mokuba kicked Kaiba swiftly in the crotch area. "AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!"
Kaiba shouted.Mokuba kept kickig him."Alright,alright,fine.We can go!!Just stop it!!" Kaiba was almost fainted with pain when Mokuba stopped."Are you alright?"ASked Bakura."That can ruin a guy!!"Kaiba nodded."yes....I'm fine...."He crokaed. Rex was laughing."Well,let's just get this over with!!"He said,and he grabbed his Backpack."Gimme a piggy back,Seto!!!!!!!!!!"Mokuba said.He grabbed Kaiba's hands. "Not now,Mokuba."Kaiba said."I'm tired." Mokuba started to cry loudly."Oh,alright."Kaiba said.He put Mokuba on his back.He was having trouble keeping up with Rex and Bakura.
Bakura was soooooo mad.He was extremely mad.Rex was moaning and groaning--all just to get attention."My head hurts......"He griped.He grabbed a dinosaur toy that Mai had gotten him and threw it against the wall."Rex."She said gently."Stop it.You know I don't want to have to clean up when we leave."She sighed,and turned to Bakora,whos arms were crossed as he sat on the chair."Whats wrong?"She asked. "I'm sad."Bakora said simply. "Not you too!!"Mai protested."I'm tired of hearing whining!!"Rex let out a long,perilous whine.Mai turned to him."What now?"She asked. "I want my dino."Mai crossed the room and gave it to Rex.She put his blacnket over him. "Now go to sleep."She demanded."And do it now.The sooner you get better,the sooner we can leave."She clicked off the TV and sat in the large chair by Bakora. "Wanna play cards?"He asked."I have Pokemon Cards."Mai nodded."That might be fun."Bakora split his deck in half.He gave the top half to mai and the bottem half to himself."Let's not use any energys or prizes,OK?"He said."Lets just see who runs out of pokemon first."Mai nodded and drew her first card.This is what it said: Vulpix.HP:40 it's attack was confuse ray.That took off ten.it only had one attack. Bakora drew Squirtle. SQUIRTLE.HP:40 Its attack was bubble.Its took off ten. "You go first."Bakora told Mai."OK."She said."I use this Confuse Ray."Bakora nodded."I use this bubble." They kept on useing the attacks until Bakora's squirtle was demolished.He was letting Mai win.He didn't tell her about his type advantage. Suddenly,a voice piped up."He's letting you win."Rex said."He has a type advantage." Mai looked at Bakora."Should you have won that round?"She asked.Bakora pretended to just remember."Oh!!"He said."I-guess I--did win--uh,that one,OK?" Mai nodded and dicarded her Vulpix.Bakora glared at Rex,who was grinning.(Mokuba had been asleep.)
"This tastes really good."Yugi said,taking a sip of Kaiba's Orange juice.Kaiba nodded.His nose was stuck in a 1970's novel by Charles Dickens called "Great Expectations." "Is that a good book?"Asked Yugi.He took another drink of the juice.Kaiba nodded once again.He loved to read but wasn't a nerd.Yugi picked up a game controller,clicked on the machine,and began to play.Music filled the room."Could you turn that down?"Kaiba rasped."I'm trying to read."It was up so loud,Yugi didn't hear.He began to pet the cat."Did you hear me?"Asked Kaiba.Yugi still failed to answer.Kaiba was about to yell at the top of his lungs when his phone rang. "Hello?"He asked."Seto speaking."He intwined the cord in his fingers.Mai answered. "Hello,Seto.I just needed to talk to you--why did you leave?"Kaiba wasn't intierly prepeared to answer a question like that. "because."He said."I just did.Thats the only answer I'm going to give.Take it or leave it." Tehre was a long silence at the end of the phone. "How's Yugi?"Kaiba relaxed,knowing the subject was changed. "He's fine.Right now he's being irritating."Kaiba heard Mai yell at Bakura on the other end of the line. Yugi turned off the machine.He got up and stretched.He took a drink of his juice and headed for the kitchen. "Hey Mai."kaiba said."How's your lip?I didn't mean to hit you so vilontly.It just makes me very mad when a person of a stature under my own strikes me."Kaiba scratched the back of his head. Mai grunted."And who said I was under your stature?"Kaiba paused."Um....How's Mokuba?" Mai glanced at him."He was playing his Gameboy but now him and Rex are watching a Dinosaur Movie.He's fine." Kaiba was hurt that Mokuba would be OK when he was gone. "Does he miss me?" "I think." "Oh.Well,tell him I'll be back later." "Why don't you just talk to him?" "OK." Kaiba waited as the phone was given to Mokuba. "Hello?"Asked Mokuba.I was a rude sort of tone and Kaiba could tell Moku didn't want to be talking on the phone right now. "it's Seto."Kaiba said."Whats up?" Mokuba was silent for a second. "So.....what is it you wanted?"Kaiba was shocked.How dare him!! Kaiba fought back an urge to scream at Mokuba so loud the phone exploded. "Um.....I wanted to talk to my little brother,if thats OK with you!!" "OK....so......why did you go away?It has to do with a girl,right?Rex told me all about those.He said every girl is trash,but I coulden't hear the rest because Mai screamed at Rex."Mokuba laughed childlike. "No....."Kaiba replied."I just had to....do...something." "OK."Said Mokuba.Kaiba heard Mokuba drop the phone."Whoops!!!"He said and picked it up."Are you still there,Seto?"He asked.When Kaiba saidyes,Mokuba dropped the phone again. "Still?"He asked.Kaiba said yes,and the same thing happened.Ity happened 5 more times."You want me to get off the phone,right?"Kaiba sighed.Mokuba just dropped the phone.Kaiba hung up. He walked in the kitchen,where Yugi was eating Bugles and drinking apple juice. "Hi,Kaiba!!"He said exitedly."Hello...."Kaiba said.Yugi wasd acting happy and sad at the same time.He would say something,then look down sheepishly. "Whats wrong?"Asked Kaiba,throwing a ball for the cat. "As if you didn't know!!"Yig snapped."Tea's dead.Just like that." Kaiba pushed a hand over his mouth."Oh...."He remembered.He grabbed some chips and bit one hard.He cried out when he bit a cheek.Yugi lauighed."Whats wrong?"He asked.Kaiba pointed to his mouth and rinsed it out.He ran at top speed into the elevator and up to his room.Yugi followed,his mouth full of sandwich.Kaiba slipped and fell on a peice of paper.He crashed into his computer,knocking the disks everywhere.A glass figure cracked on his head and broke."Hey,I gave that to you!!"Yugi said,as Kaiba hit the ground. "Um.....are you OK?"Yugi picked up a glass of water to give to Kaiba,but dropped it,right on his face. Kaiba got up to snarl at Yugi,but tripped over the cat.He fell and hit his chin on the ground. "Boy, are we a clutz today."Yugi said.Kaiba snarled."You are so dumb."He said,and got up.He saw on the ground Bakura's pallet where he was sleeping the night he stayed.Kaiba's eyes caught on a note on the mirror.It was in girlish handwriting.He read it.
Dear Kaiba, I borrowed 700 dollers.
He crumpled it."Tea!!!"Yugi said.He collapsed and went into convulsions.Kiaba uncrumpled it and stared at the handwriting.Tea was a girl.A helpless,defensless,strengthless girl.She had no WAY of defending herself against a gun.Almost no one did.It wasn't any fault of weakness;or even fear.It was no one but the murderer's fault,and thats why Kaiba had to find him.
Bakura had defeated Mai horribly."I guess you...won...."She said.Bakora hated it,but he nodded.Mokuba's eyes fluttered open."You were playing Pokemons....and you didn't wake me up?"He kneeled down in the floor and grabbed some of Bakora's cards.Rex was snoring loudly,so Bakora could manage to at least let Mai win 1 or 2 rounds.Mai tossed the cards."Its just a game anyway."She said.She looked at the clock just as a nurse waltzed in."Hello Mokuba."She cooed soflty.She thought he was very adorible."Hello,you old bat."Moku replied.The nurse pretended she hadn't heard. She woke up Rex."Hellloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."Rex said."Im awake now.You can put a shot in me,and you can cut me,but you will never,ever rob me of my dignity." Everyone looked at him. "Rex."Bakora said."Did what you just said make any sence to you?"Rex shrugged.The nurse took his blood pressure."OK."She said."Rex,what would you like for lunch?" "A large chef salad,caviar,a giant blue whale,and the world's largest manacotti.Why do you ask?" The nurse just put him down for "Grilled Cheese."
*** When l lunch came,Rex was very angry."I wanted all the stuff I said!!"he ordered.The nurse rolled her eyes,and was about to walk out."Oh,the doctor says Rex can go home any time today." Mai and Bakura jumped up and down.They were glad to get out,however,Rex wasn't.He loved being the center of attention,which he was on the air,but now while he wasn't a DJ.He was just plain old Rex. "Let's go home!"Bakura said."Right now!!Let's go!!Let's go!!"Bakura ran out the door.Rex got out of bed,brining a wave of dizziness."I think I'll take a shower before we go."He said,and walked into the bathroom.Mai noded and went to stay outside with Bakura. When Rex got in the shower,the water was way too hot.He turned on the cold water one and it got to cold.The water was so out of proprtion he just decided he'd take a bath. The water in the bath was cold,but he managed. When he got out and got dressed,he looked at his head injury in the mirror.There was a big purple bump on his head.There were stitches running across it,but it was covered by his hair.Rex could hear Mokuba playing with toys in the room.He could hear bangs and noises Mokuba was making for the airplane.Rex waltzed out of the bathroom,just as Mokuba threw a toy jet plane at the bathroom door.It sailed toward Rex.He ducked at just the right time. Mokuba had been in the middle of saying,'Housten we have a problem',But it came out,"Housten,we have a--oh,no........"He was glad Rex ducked.Rex picked up the plane."What do you think your doing?"He asked in an angry voice."What is this?"His voice was sharp and mean.He could see tears welling up in Moku's eyes. Rex just grabbed Mokuba's backpack and arm and drug him outside,where Mai and Bakura were.Bakura was turned around. "Please tell me what happened to your arm?"Mai said."Please?"Bakura woulden't say anything. when Rex walked out with Mokuba,Mai was happy because they could go now. As soon as they got out,Mai relized they were going to have a little trouble riding on one horse with four people.Princess was the only one left.Mocha had gone with Kaiba and Yugi. "We need to just leave this horse here."Mai whispered to Rex,who nodded.But Moku overheard. "NO!!!!!+_+ Mokuba cried.He grabbed Princess."I can take her,YOU can walk."Said the selfish child.He got on Princess and started to go.Mai ran after him,but Bakura and Rex weren't so insistant on following. "If I hadn't promised my best friend I'd watch him i would ditch him in a second."Bakura mumbled.Rex nodded.
"You are getting crackers all over the floor!!"Kaiba shouted.Yugi was up in the corner.A cracker crumb fell from his mouth on to Kaiba's shoe.Kaiba was so fed up that he drew back his hand and slapped Yugi with all his might.Yugi was thrown back with the force,and instantly,a red welt appeared.Visible was a large Kaiba handprint. Kaiba started to laugh hestariccly.(If Kaiba wasn't so cute I'd find it rather hard to like him) To his suprise,so did Yugi."Joeys dead....."Kaiba suddenly said.They both stopped laughing. "So is Tea....."Yugi said.He barfed all over Mokuba's bed. "Oh no!!!"Kaiba said."Mokuba loves his GI Joe blanket!!Your in trouble!!"Kaiba ran his hand over a part that wasn't barfed on. "Get to the bathroom."He said.Yugi ran to the bathroom.He sat down in a chair at his desk.On it was a picture of Mokuba,Mai,Yugi,and in the front,him and Bakura.On the other side was a picture of Mai at her cousin's wedding.She looked rediculous in a white dress.Matter of fact,she looked rediculous in anything to Kaiba.Kaiba took out his Domino High yearbook.He turned to his homeroom class.On a big picture,it showed his pinch-faced old teacher,Mrs.Sweeny.They called her,'Mrs.Sweeny the Weeny.'Kaiba laughed at her.Her nose was large and her face blotched.Kaiba looked down at the peoples in the book under the teecher. first was Ryou Bakura.He looked rather worried in the picture.His mouth was in an 'o' shape,and he was looking off to the side.Next was Yugi Motou,who had a normal silly smile and the same blue jacket on as always.Next was Kaiba.He wasn't smiling.He just looked normal.(Cute!) Mokuba must have once been really mad at Kaiba,because Kaiba's picture was crossed out,and next to it in red ink said,'I hate my brother!!I only like me!!' Kaiba's eyes widened and he looked at the next pic.It was Rex Raptor.He had his normal,wide eyed,crazy grin.He looked as ugly and crazy as normal.(Rex was very ugly.) Next was Tristan Taylor,a Friend of Yugi's and used to be Joey's.He had brown,spiky hair,and a long black trenchcoat.He wasn't very attractive.Next was Mai Valentine.She looked normal but had a shimmery flower in her hair.it wasn't that big.There was a BIG Heart around her head."Bakura must have done that."Kaiba thought.Next at the bottem were Joey Wheeler and Tea gardener.Kaiba marked a R.I.P over thier faces and closed the book.He opened up a book of Moku's baby pics.On the front was something Mokuba wrote.It looked like his name.It was sloppy and boyish handwriting.Mokuba was what it looked like. On the front was when Mokuba was about 1.He had thick black hair and was wearing overalls. His hands were over his head and he was smiling.Next to it was a 7 year old Kaiba.He was very cute.He had dark brown hair and wore a red bow tie. He was smiling.Kaiba flipped ahead.There was a pic of 5 year old Moku and 12 year old Kaiba.Mai,Joey,Bakura,and Yugi were also twelve in the pic. "Mai was alot prettier back then."Kaiba said.He pulled out the pic and replaced it with the recent one of Mai at the wedding.Bakura's hair was alot shorter then.Yugi still had fat cheeks and was too short for his age.Kaiba drew a mustache on the recent Mai. Mai looked prettier because she wasn't wearing hooker aparrel and and she wasn't doused in makeup.The only thing wrong,to Kaiba,was that she was almost flat chested.Kaiba didn't like that. Joey looked extremely cute when he was young.His hair was brown,not blonde,and he didn't talk like a punk. the last picture in the book was of Bakora and some girl.(He had flipped ahead there) Kaiba had no idea who the girl was.She was hot,though.He cut her out and threw away the Bakora because it was making a strange face.He flipped over the girl.It was Sasha,the one Bakora had broken up with.He threw it away. Kaiba decided to call Bakoo.He dialed the #. "Hello?"Asked Bakura's accent. "Its Seto."Said Kaiba,in his scratchy voice. "Hi.Im about to die."said Bakoo.Kaiba was about to ask why,but he didn't have to.He heard Mai singing in the background. "That's enough to make even Ariel off the little mermaid die!!"Said Kaiba."Yeah."Bakura said,agreeing.Everyone knows Ariel likes to sing. Rex's singing lessons hadn't worked much.Kaiba could hear Rex shouting instructions out to her and Mokuba laughing his head off. "Could you tell her her singing stinks?"Asked Kaiba."Its killing me." "No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Bakoo said."She might get mad!!!!" "So?"Kaiba said."Maybe you should just tell her real gently,like maybe request something else." "Like what?"Bakora asked.Mai hit a sour note. "Uhhhh......How about eating strawberries?" "No."Bakora said."I have a better idea." Kaiba heard him call Mai in the background.He heard her stop singing and laugh.The singing never came back. "What did you say?"Asked Kaiba. "I didn't say anything."Bakora said."She just saw my face and laughed!!"Kaiba heard Rex start laughing. "You....have....a.....rrrrooooooock......up.....your......HA HA HA HA HA HA~!!!"Kaiba heard Mokuba say. Bakora brought his hand up to his face. "THERES A ROCK UP MY NOSE!!" He said,and the phone hung up. Kaiba threw it on the bed.Yugi was out of the bathroom and looking through a photo album. "I remember this!!"He said."This is when you puked after riding The Mexican Hat at Six Flags!!"Yugi started to laugh.There was a pic of Kaiba with a very green face on it.Kaiba was very mad.He made Yugi shut up.
Where were we going again?"Rex asked."We can't go home.Kaiba doesn't want Mokuba to know where he went."Mokuba coughed 3 times."Where did Seto go?"He asked.He coughed again. Rex shrugged."Only.....Mai knows that."Mai looked at Rex with a deadly look. "Seto is buying a nice new horsey for you,Mokuba."Mai said."It will be dazzling and white,with a big brown spot!!!" Mokuba coughed."WOWWWWWWWW!!!!"He said."A new horsey!!It will be so fast it races against all the other horseys!!!In that case,I don't nedd Princess!!!"Mokuba threw a stick at Princess,and she ran into the woods. "Mokuba."Rex said."I could have rode on that."Mokuba shrugged."Stuff happens."He said,and coughed. "Whats wrong with you?"Asked Bakura.Mokuba shrugged again."I'm not sure.I think its just summer dust."He wiped a sleeve across his head. Bakora walked over to Mai."Does his cough sound a little.....weird to you?"He asked. Mai nodded."Its sounds creepy like it has alot of snot in it."Bakora made a face. "Is that bad?"He asked.Mai scratched her head."I don't know."She said."We'll see what happens." She glanced at Rex,who was telling Moku more fantasies about the dazzling horse. "He's so good with little kids,don't you think?"Mai asked.Bakora nodded."I guess." Mokuba went into a coughing fit."Im OK."He said afterwards."Its just dust,like I said." "Lets set up camp."Rex said."Im tired."
* * *
"And then,they lived happily ever after."Said Mai,finishing bedtime story about a princes and prince for Mokuba.He yawned,and coughed."Are you sure you're OK?"Mai asked,putting her hand on his head."You don't feel warm,but if you need me or Rex or Bakura tonight just wake us up,OK?"Mokuba nodded and rolled over."G'night."He said.Mai waltzed over to Bakora and Rex,who were looking at a teenage girl's magazine."This is sooooooo dumb."Rex said."Who cares what your hair looks like or what type of lotion you use?" Bakura was only interested in the posters of models."Who's this--J.Lo person?"He asked."I wonder if she's got a boyfriend?"Mai grabbed the magazine."Be quiet."She snapped."Mokubas tryin to sleep,and its late." Bakora nodded and yawned.They heard Mokuba cough over in his area.Mai layed down in her sleeping bag,which was in the middle of Rex and Bakura's.She started lookin at the magazine herself.Bakora leaned over and looked at it too.He saw an add for Tampons and turned away. "See."Mai said."I told you not to read it."She closed it and rolled over.Bakora rolled over to go asleep,but he heard Mai dialing on the phone."Who are you calling at this hour?"He asked.Mai grunted."Kaiba.I'm gonna tell him about Mokuba's coughing." Bakora nodded and rolled back over,while Mai kept the phone to her ear.After two rings she heard a groggly,"Hello?Im trying to sleep,so if its not an emergancy--" "Hello,Its Mai."Mai said,irritated."Your brother.He's sick or somthing.He's coughing alot." Kaiba yawned as Mokuba coughed."Wow.It sounds pretty bad."He said."Yes."Mai agreed.She heard something and looked over in Mokuba's corner.He was getting up."Hes getting up."She said."OK."Said Kaiba."What wrong with him?" "I dont feel so well...."Mokuba said."He doens't feel good."Mai explained. "Does he have a fever?"Asked Kaiba. Mai felt his head."Yeah."She said."His head is pretty warm.Ill get him some tea."Mokuba coughed again.She noticed he was having alot of trouble breathing. "Uh....Kaiba,I think you better come check it out."Mai said."Ill wet him down,give him some tea and help him feel better.Take your time,OK?" "OK."Kaiba said."Where are you.Ill be there as fast as I can." "We're at the feild just in front of your house." "OK."Kaioba said,and hung up. "Seto will be here in a second."Mai said."How do you feel?" "Bad." "How?" "I just feel bad." Mai gave him an advil."This will help with the fever."She said.She wet a rag and put it on Mokuba's head.He coughed a couple of times.Bakora and Rex were snoring.Mokuba sighed and layed down on Mai's sleeping bag.He was asleep very fast. They were waiting about 5 minutes more when Kaiba appeared.He was wearing his school uniform. "He's asleep."He declared,and kneeled down beside him.Mai nodded."He was very tired." Kaiba felt Mokubas head and his eyes widened."I left Yugi at the house."Kaiba said."But it looks like I need to stay,at least for tonight." Mai nodded.Mokuba coughed,waking him up."Hello,Seto."He smiled up at him. "Mokuba,how do you feel?"Asked Kaiba.Mai gave Mokuba a cup of tea. "I feel pretty bad.Its kinda hard to breath,my head hurts and I just dont feel good."Kaiba layed down by Mokuba."Ill wait until you finish your tea and then take your temperature."Kaiba said.Mokuba nodded. By the time Mokuba's tea was finished,Kaiba was asleep."Ill take your temperature."Mai said."Leave kaiba alone."She covered him up with a blanket.Kaiba snuggled up with the blanket. She took him tempie.It was 102.3.Not very high."OK."She said."The Advil should work later.Go to sleep by Kaiba.Ill ask Rex if I can sleep at the foot of his sleeper.Its pretty big." So she did.
Kiaba woke up to the smell of sausage.Mai was cooking on a protable grill.His brother,Rex and Bakura were still asleep.Kaiba rose."Um....did you check on Mokuba?"He asked Mai.She turned around. "Oh!!Yes,I did.His temperature is about the same,which isn't good.The advil should've taken it down."Kaiba nodded.He grabbed a peice of sausage and ate it. "This is....pretty good."He said.Mai nodded."I went to cookin class."Kaiba didn't say anything.He turned as Moku coughed. "He'll be fine."Mai said.Kaiba drummed on the table.Bakura opened his eyes and decided to watch and not say anything. "Thanx for takin care of Mokuba."Said Kaiba."Sometimes,he can be a little brat.More like most of the time." Mai nodded and hummed a song. After a while she started to sing it faintly to herself.Kaiba was quite sure it was going to be horrible.But,it wasn't.It was excellent!! "How did you learn to sing like that?"Blurted Kaiba.The loud volume startled Mai."Um....Rex taught me."She said."How did you learn how to take care of children?"
"Rex." "How did you learn to cook?" "Rex again." "Drum?" "One guess." "Oh........."Kaiba said.His unsuccesfull attempts to start a conversation were rather imbarrasing. Bakora went back asleep. "D-do you like.......food?"Asked Kaiba.Mai stared."Well,if I didnt,I wouldent be so fat." Kaiba didn't know what to say."Um.....Your not fat."He said."I think.I mean,I hope.I mean,are you?" Mai was puzzled. "Ok......"Kaiba mumbled to himself."Do you like......Bakora?" Mai shook her head."As a friend."She replied."He can be annoying the way he talks too much,and I just dont think hes attractive."Kaiba nodded.It was almost a conversation!! "I like.......duel monsters."He said."Its really cool."Mai nodded."I have a Harpes Lady." "I have Blue Eyes." "Do you know a stratigy to beat Blue Eyes?"Asked Mai."With a Harpes Lady?" Kaiba thought."Of course I do.But you don't think I'm going to tell you,right?" "Oh,come on!!I could never beat three blue eyes!!I just want to know how to beat one!!" Kaiba considered."Oh,all right.The key is........" (The converstation went on for hours.)
Bakura was mad at Kaiba."I didnt DO anything!!"Kaiba said."What did I do?" "Your trying to STEAL Mai!!"He said."Steal her away.Just to make me mad."Kaiba laughed."No way!!!No way no way!!I dont even like Mai!!" "Oh,sure.Thats just selfish LIES!!!!"Kaiba was getting mad. "OK,Bakoo,do you really wanna know?She doesn't even like you!!She says your annoying and not attractive!!!!! Bakura was very hurt.Very very hurt.He looked at Mai,who was helping Mokuba wash his hands at the pond.Kaiba stormed off to talk to Mokuba.Rex was sitting up. "Whoa."He said."I thought Kaiba was your bestest friend ever!!!"Bakora shook his head."Not anymore.We're fighting.Have you ever fought?Its not that fun.When my parents fight,they throw dishes and stuff and daddys punch holes in walls.Its scary for children." Rex nodded."Uh.....yeah....I guess.....But...uh....Why are you fightin' for?" "I forget."Bakora said.He just didnt want to tell Rexie.Kaiba,on purpose,splashed some water on Bakora's face.Bakora wiped his face and snorted. "Mokuba do you feel better?"Asked Kaiba.Mokuba nodded and coughed.His cough didn't sound so bad anymore.Mokuba splashed in the water with his arms."I wanna go swimmin'!!"He yelled at the top of his lungs. Kaiba had to think because he was sick and if it was too cold he might catch phenumonia.But,it was ninety degrees out there,and Kaiba resolved that MOkuba was in no danger,so he said yes. "YAYYYYYYY!!!"Mokuba said."Did you hear that,Mai?Kaiba says I can go swimmin'!!!"Mokuba grabbed his pants to go put them on to swim in and ran under his sleeping bag. "You're stupid."Bakora said."He could get sicker because the waters cold."He had a sneer on his face. "Since when did you care about anyone but yourself?"Rex shot to Bakura.Bakura looked at Rex with peircing eyes,but Rex just whistled."I didn't hear anything."He said."Its just the wind.Gee,it almost sounds like its saying things!!!"Rex bolted off into the tent. Mokuba bolted out of his sleeping bag.He was wearing NO shirt and his jeans.He ran at full speed and jumped into the water.It splashed all around him.Kaiba grabbed some shorts and went to get dressed behind a tree,and Mai had just put on her bakini and she went into the water with Mokuba.Bakura liked that Bakini and decided he would go swimming to,so he went into the tent with Rex.Rex had swimming shorts on that were lime green with a purple dinosaur on the right leg.Rex ran out of the tent and dived into the water just as Kaiba came out. Bakura was a little embarrased to come out because even though his face was handsome,his body was not.He was skinny and had NO abs or arm muscles.Rex didnt have that many,but hey,it was more than Bakura had. When Bakura came out,Rex had to go underwater to keep from laughing.Mai and Kaiba were teaching Mokuba how to swim.He was scared and was thrashing."Stop it."Kaiba growled.Mai got a mouthfull of water in her face.Bakura swam over to Kaiba and Mai. "Hellooo....."He said faintly.He tried to ignore Mokuba's crying.Mokuba splashed Kaiba in the face.Kaiba went underwater.Bakura thought he was trying to get away,and was happy.But he was wrong.Kaiba came up right beside Bakura and dunked his head under the water!!! Mai giigled and laughed.Bakura came up with his hair looking like a mop.It was in his face. "How about some ugly hair to go with your ugly mug?"Asked Kaiba,laughing very hard.He shoved a wet,slimy fish down Bakura's swimming trunks.Mai swam off to play with Rex. rex was pounding a crab flat on a big rock with his bare hands.The crab pinched him on his thumb. "I'll teach you!!"Rex cried,and threw it against the wall.The shell cracked.The crab died. Rex stuck his thumb in his mouth.Mai grabbed another crab and punched it.It went spinning away. It hit the wall,and cracked.They were having so much fun that Mokuba decided to come.He grabbed a minnow and smashed it between his fingers.Fish guts were all over him. "Mokuba!!!"Kaiba shouted,and ran over to him."Wash that off!!No more playing with deseased fish!!" "No!!"Mokuba said."I won't!!Im scared of going underwater to wash off!!!" Kaiba gritted his teeth and grabbed Mokuba by the middle.He dunked him underwater for three seconds.Mokuba came out clean,but he was crying."That was mean."Said Rex.Mai nodded.She looked over at Bakura,who was talking to some guy at the beach shore.It was a seagull. Mai rolled her eyes. "Look!!"Mokuba said,and he grabbed a seagull egg."Mokuba,be careful!!"Kaiba said.Mokuba wasn't.The egg smashed in his hand."OH NO!!"Mokuba said."I murdered a birdie!!Oh,no........"Mokuba started to cry again."Its OK."Said Rex."There are plenty more fish in the sea." "But it wasnt a fish!!It was a bird!!""Whatever....."Rex said."Im getting out.Im cold and these crabs make me mad."He grabbed a towl and walked away.Bakura was already sitting at camp. Mai decided to get out too."Lets get out,Moku."Kaiba said.Mokuba shook his long,black hair like a dog."No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He said."I wont.I wont I wont I wont I wont I wont......." "Alright,Mokuba,now lets just get out...." "I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT........ "Mokuba,Im warning you......." "I wont I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT I WONT....." "Mokuba,If you dont get out....." "I WONT i wont i wont i wont!!" "MOKUBA,IF YOU DONT GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF THE WATER RIGHT NOW,ILL BOX YOUR EARS AND GIVE YOU YOUR HEAD FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!" Mokuba,trembling,went out of the water.Rex,Bakura and Mai had just frozen hearing Kaiba's yell.Bakura decided he was scared.He hid his head under his sleeping bag. Rex put his shirt(s) on.It took a long time becuse he wers two vests and a shirt!!!He looks like a paleontologist!!!!! He put back on his snowhat."Rex,why is your bangs purple?"Mai asked."And the rest of your hair brown?" "I dont know.I was born that way." "OK....."Mai said."Whatever."Rex was sad that people didn't like his hair and most people said he was ugly.He thought that only about 10 out of every thousand people in the world had a Rex Raptor poster on their wall thinking he was hot,because he certainly wasn't too attractive.He wasn't nearly as ugly as Bones,though.The only reason he was famous was because he DJ'd a famous station and because he had an extrordinary voice.It was very loud and rough,like it came from his throat completly. "Am I ugly?"Rex asked Kaiba."Uh.....um...it depends...on..what you..consider....you know.....ugly." Rex was sad."Bakura,am I ugly?"He asked Bakura."Well,compared to me....." Rex was sadder."Mai,am I ugly?"He asked.She really didnt think he was handsome she just liked his personality."Um,no,Rex,your not....." Rex smiled."Mokuba,am I ugly?"Mokuba smiled and laughed. "Yes You are!!Your the ugliest person ever!!"Mokuba was little and didn't know it would hurt Rex's feelings,but it did. Rex didnt cry,but he was awfully sad.It was about only the 2nd time in this whole story he didnt wear a smile. "Mokuba!!"Kaiba shouted."That was really mean!!" "Well he is.He's uglier than Weevil Underwood!!!"Mai thought."Actually,Weevil's pretty handsome." Kaiba and Bakura laughed."Yeah!!!"Bakura said."Weevil Underwood handsome.Your making us laugh,Mai." Mai growled."Watch,Ill call him,right here,right now!!!" "Yeah right,Mai.You lie." Mai took out a phone and dialed a number."Hello,Operator?Could I get Weevil Underwoods phone number please?"Mai wrote somethin' down and clciked off the phone.Then,she dialed another number.Rex decided he didn't care if he was ugly or not. "Hello?"Mai heard on the other line."Hello."Mai said."Can I talk to WEEVIL?" "yes,this is Weevil." "Hi,Weevil.Im Mai Valentine and I think your handsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Bye."Weevil said and was about to hang up. "Wait!!Don't!!"Mai cried."Don't hang up!!" "Well,what do you want?Im a busy man!!" They kept on talking. "This could go on for hours on."Mokuba said."And Rex,I'm sorry if you didn't want to hear the solid truth."Rex shruged."It don't bother me.At least I'm famous."Kaiba waltzed up."Well, IM rich." "So am I."Mokuba said.Bakura shrugged."Im handsome."He said."More handsome than Kaiba.More handsome than Rex(Of course),and More handsome than Mokuba.More handsome than Yugi,more handsome than Joey.More handsome than Pegasus(Of course),more handsome than Weevil." "Ok....."Kaiba said."Im handsome." "In your dreams." Kaiba growled.He glanced over at Mai,who was still talking to Weevil on the phone. "Well,what about HER?"He asked."Are you more handsome than her?" "Im more handsome than anybody." "Barney is a Dinosaur." "Rex,shut up." "Why dont you?" "Because I dont want to." Rex grabbed a dinosaur figure.It had blood dripping from its plastic sharp teeth."I used its teeth to spay my cat."Rex said."They used to be alot sharper.The cat died later.I thought I did good,but I guess not." Kaiba,bakura and Mokuba were all staring at Rex.
"Uh....I think we should get going."He said. Kaiba nodded."But to where?"He asked.Rex shrugged."We could just.....go home?" Mokuba rattled his head."No way!!"He said."We can't!!Tea and Joey is dead,Remember?" Bakura sighed."Well,thanks for brighteneing up the scene,Mokuba."He said. Mokuba jutted out his tongue,which was rather long,sorta like a giraffe's. "Hey Mai,are you done talkin' yet?"Asked Rex."We're goin' away from here." Mai waved a hand to shut him up."NO!!!!!"Rex said."Hang up on Weevil,right now!!" Mai shook her head."No............."She said."We are on a really interesting conversation about silver and gold." Rex grabbed the phone away from Mai's hands,which grabbed at it trying to get it back.Rex hanged up the phone. "Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!"Mai shouted."I was having such a pleasent conversation!!I'll never go with you!Never ever!!!"Mai let out a wail of anguish. Rex grabbed her by the hair."You'll come or I'll rip your hair out." Mai grabbed her hair strand from Rex."I'll never go.Never.I'll sit in this feild forever and rot down to my Bones!!"She sat on a rock."Speaking of Bones,where'd that guy go?" Kaiba shurgged."Yugi DID say something about him stealing his mellinium puzzle." Bakura grabbed his Mellinium Ring."I always thought the items made us look really really gay." "Bakora,you sound really really Gay."Mokuba replied.Bakura shut up. Kaiba grabbed Mai's arm."Come on."He said."Lets go!!"She sat there like a boulder."I'll only come if you bring me.....bring me.....Weevil Underwood!!!" Everyone was amazed."No way!!!"Rex said."He's working some place all the way by the airport!!We'll never make it back in just a day or two!!!!!" Mai shook her head."I won't come with you,or eat,until you bring me Weevil." "How about we just leave her?"Sugested Rex. "No,we just can't do that!!"Bakura said."We have to bring back Weevil for her!!!!" Kaiba and Mokuba and Rex stared."Shut up."Kaiba said."Mokuba is recovering from sickness and you want to go all the way there?I think me and Mokuba wil just go home while you go on this wild goose chase!!"Kaiba grabbed Mokuba's arm to take him home. "No!!"Mokuba said."I want to go find Weevil with them!!"Kaiba shook his head."You are just a little kid,and I make the orders around here.Now come on!!!"He grabbed Mokuba by the ear and started to drag him.Mokuba kicked Kaiba swiftly in the crotch area. "AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!"
Kaiba shouted.Mokuba kept kickig him."Alright,alright,fine.We can go!!Just stop it!!" Kaiba was almost fainted with pain when Mokuba stopped."Are you alright?"ASked Bakura."That can ruin a guy!!"Kaiba nodded."yes....I'm fine...."He crokaed. Rex was laughing."Well,let's just get this over with!!"He said,and he grabbed his Backpack."Gimme a piggy back,Seto!!!!!!!!!!"Mokuba said.He grabbed Kaiba's hands. "Not now,Mokuba."Kaiba said."I'm tired." Mokuba started to cry loudly."Oh,alright."Kaiba said.He put Mokuba on his back.He was having trouble keeping up with Rex and Bakura.
