Chapter 3: preparations

Author: here's number three! I'm not letting any one speak now because they're annoying me. Well enjoy!

Yami sighed. Tea had finally gone home. Yami was fuming because Yugi had left him with Tea all day. He made a mental note to pay Yugi back some time, but now all he was worried about was tomorrow. Yami didn't want to spend another whole day with Tea, but he didn't know if he could go or not yet. 

At Bakura/Ryou's house:

Yugi had calmed down now (Ryou was still in the kitchen with him). Joey had gone home after Bakura stopped chasing him, so as to be certain that he wouldn't start again.

Bakura was still watching with growing jealousy and frustration- had they forgotten about him?

"Well we only have to tell our parents, and we can go." Yugi said

"Will your grandfather let you go?"

"Yeah. He hates Tea to, so I'll just tell him. What about you?"

"My fathers away on an archaeological dig thingy in Egypt, so I'll leave a note."

Yugi was on the edge of laughing uncontrollably again. "You can't leave a note for something like this!!"

"Yes I can. He doesn't come back for another year, and that's only if he doesn't find something. If he does, he'll be longer. He knows about Bakura, and thinks I'll be 'safe' on my own" 

"Wow. I didn't' know you were so nervy! I would never even dream of just leaving a note for something like this even if I was in your situation!"

"Yeah. Well. There you go."  Yugi started laughing again. This time Ryou joined in as well.

 "WHERE'S MY DRINK!" Bakura yelled from the living room. Ryou jumped in surprise, and hurried to get a coke.

"You know, I should really teach you how to say 'no'. Tell you what…"

Back in the living room:

Ryou and Yugi walked in.

"Where's my drink?" Bakura repeated.

"Get it yourself! I'm not a weakling and I'm not your bloody slave!" Ryou yelled. "Your nearly as bad as Raos!"

"Oh. No one can be as bad as Raos!" Yugi said, and they went upstairs and left a totally stunned and confused Bakura to get his own drink and figure out what the hell Raos was.

In Ryou's room:

Ryou sat on his bed, trying really hard to keep breathing through all his laughing. Yugi sat in Ryou's computer chair laughing as well. (They seem to be doing a lot of that- Oh well J)

 "He's going to be sulky all week because of that!" Ryou said, still fighting for breath.

"Yeah. Hey do ya mind if I swing on this? I like feeling dizzy."

"Your very sad. But o.k!" Yugi started spinning. Ryou got up and started pushing the chair around. Soon Yugi was travelling at high velocity. Ryou jumped onto the back of the chair, in an attempt to join in the fun. He tipped the chair over, and Yugi landed on top of him, with the chair on his back, stopping him from getting up.

"Um I don't think you should have done that Ryou." Yugi said, trying to get up but failing miserably.

"Oh I'm sooooooo sorry!" Yugi stopped trying to get up, because it was futile anyway.

"You know your not supposed to say you're sorry. Your supposed to say something like 'yeah well I did, so live with it!'"

"Oh. How do you know?"

"I've been having ' how to be cool lessons' off Yami." Yugi answered. At that moment, Bakura walked through the door (Because he heard a loud crash o.k? J) to find Yugi lying on Ryou, having a nice little chat about being cool.

"Oh hello!" Yugi said cheerfully, "I was just about to call for you! Can you help me get this thing off?" he indicated towards the chair. Bakura was seething with envy.

"NO! YOU CAN JUST GO ON SCREWING EACHOTHER! RYOU I'M CHUCKING YOU OUT OF YOUR HOUSE! GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!" and he slammed the door on them.

"How are you supposed to get out if he's not going to help us up?" Yugi said after a while.

"Didn't any of the other stuff he say faze you?" Ryou asked (Talking about the 'screwing' thing. J)

"Nah. I know it's not true, and that's all that matters. Now, How are we going to get out of this?"

As if in answer, the doorbell rang. They heard a strangled cry and a voice saying

"Hi! How's my favourite tomb robber today?"

"Oh no. Tea!" Ryou whispered. They heard Bakura run up the stairs. He hurried into the room and fell over the computer chair, knocking it off Ryou and Yugi. They had just enough time to get off each other when Tea came in.

"Hi! How's my favourite little albino today?" she said, then turning her head slightly she said "Hi! How's my favourite millennium puzzle holder today?"

"I'M THE ONLY HOLDER OF THE MILLENNUIM PUZZLE!" Yugi yelled.

"Ooooooh! Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed today!" She said, attempting to hug him. Yugi ducked out of the way and ran down stairs with Ryou in pursuit, leaving Bakura to deal with Tea.

On the way to Yugi's house:

"I swear, the minute I'm on that plane away from her, I'll be sooooo happy." Yugi said.

"Oh. We're going on a plane? I'm not good on planes."

"Don't worry. You just don't look out the window, shut your eyes, and pretend your listening to an aeroplane movie." 

Yugi and Ryou walked to Yugi's house talking about planes after that. They reached the game shop a quarter of an hour later.

"Can you go up to my room a minute? I'm going to tell grandpa about Hawaii." 

Yugi returned five minutes later, dripping wet and muddy.

"What happened to you?" Ryou asked.

"Well I told grandpa about Hawaii, and he said it was fine as long as I kept in touch. Then he asked me to go and get a pint of milk from the shop across the road before I went upstairs. So I got it, walked out the shop, and a car came past, and splashed me with a great huge puddle. Then I fell over, and landed in the mud. So if you don't mind, I'm taking a shower. You can play on my games station O.K." and Yugi left for the bathroom.

At Bakura's house:

Bakura was being chased around the room by Tea. I don't like it this way around! He thought.

He made a break for the door. Bakura just managed to get out, before Tea noticed. He began running as fast as he could up the street to the park.

He stopped outside Yugi's house just in time to see a car splash him with water, and him fall over into the mud.

Yugi then raced inside. Bakura decided to see if he was o.k. He went over to the game shop and opened the door (it had closed before he got there ok. J). Yugi had already gone upstairs. Bakura walked upstairs slowly, thinking about what he would say, when he saw Ryou playing on Yugi's game station. He flared up with envy.   

"What are you doing here!" he yelled.

"Well as I recall, you threw me out of my own house, the doorbell rang and Tea came in, so Yugi and I ran for it. So there are your two reasons." Said Ryou calmly, not taking his eyes off the screen.

"Where's Yugi?"

"He's in the shower, he got drenched with water and mud."

"Oh."

At the hospital:

Yami lay there all alone, thinking. O.k. I could always just lock Yugi out of the house until it gets dark one night, but that's just stupid. There's always the silent treatment. That always makes him cry after a while.  "Lights out!"

Yami sat there in total darkness, listening to the old guy in the bed opposite him snoring his head off. Poor Yugi. Yami couldn't help thinking.  He's all alone. He's probably bored stiff.

 

At Yugi's house:

"HIT THE FIRE BUTTON!!!" Yugi yelled at Ryou. Ryou was playing a game where you had to blast oncoming monsters and other creepy stuff like ghosts and zombies, each with their special bullet and firing range. (I'm not advertising, so I wont mention the name of the game J) "NO! THAT'S A, A, C, D, A! --NOT A, B, B, C, E!" Ryou then dropped the controls and ran out of the room screaming "I'm not violent!" Yugi sighed and picked up the controls. He quickly made up for Ryou's mistakes, and went through to the next level with a really high score. He saved the game and turned it off.

"I can't get over how vicious you are on that game!" Bakura said, still stunned.

"Yeah well. There's a lot about me you don't know. And before you ask, no I'm not telling you!"   Bakura grinned.

"Hey useless!" hew then shouted to Ryou, "We're going home now!" Ryou walked in with a look of focus on his face.

"No." he said. "You chucked me out of the house, remember, so I'm staying here now." Bakura stood bewildered for a moment, before shaking it off.

"Fine. It'll be better with you gone!" and he stormed out.

In the morning:

Ryou had slept in a sleeping bag on the floor. He woke up at eight o'clock, still fizzing with happiness. He had never stood up to Bakura, because it was much easier to just do what he said, but now he wasn't going to be pushed around any more! If only he could stand up to Tea. But she was just too sickeningly disgusting to speak to. He saw that Yugi had already woke up, so he went downstairs to see him. He found Yugi making breakfast.

At the hospital:

"Alright then sir, you can go as soon as you're ready!" a nurse said to Yami, "You healed remarkably fast!"

"Yeah well, that's what you get for being a pharaoh in your past life! See ya." And he ran at full speed down the hall.

"Wha…?"

At Yugi's house:

Ryou sat at the table eating breakfast (Full English J), which Yugi had made. Yugi sat in the living room watching the television (Because he had already eaten J).

A loud banging at the door made Yugi jump through the ceiling (Hypothetically J). He rushed to the door and Yami stormed past him into the kitchen. His eyes settled on Ryou.

"What's that thing doing here?" he asked.

"Bakura threw him out, so he lives here now."  Yami went through to the living room.

"Is he mad at you?" Ryou asked.

"I think so." Yugi answered coolly. "I don't really care. I'll be out of this country in a week, and if he still hates me then, I'll just leave him here."

"Oh."

At Bakura's house:

"Stupid Ryou sleeping over Yugi's house just to spite me!"

"You know you did throw him out. Maybe you should apologise to him."

"Shut up conscience!"

Out on the street:

"So why do I have to go to kaiba's house with you?"

" Because I don't want to be on my own with that idiot." Answered Yugi

"And why couldn't Yami come with you?"

"He still hates me, remember?"

"And why can't Joey come with you?"

"Because he's not coming with us."

"Oh. And why can't Bakura come with you?"

"Because it's a surprise for him and Yami."

"And why cant a complete stranger come with you?"

"You know, I get the feeling you want me to hit you."

"No." Ryou said bringing that conversation to a close.

They reached kaiba's mansion half an hour later. Yugi knocked on the door. Mokuba answered it, and ushered them inside.

"Hi Yugi! My brother said you would be coming! How are you! Want a drink? Need something to eat? Want to sit down? What TV channel do you watch?"

"Shut up Mokuba, you don't offer beggars stuff to eat or drink." Kaiba had just come down the stairs, and had already started to do what came naturally to him- offending and insulting guests. Yugi swallowed back all of the rude stuff he was about to say to Kaiba, and settled for:

"We'll just take the money and go."

"Will you now. I don't recall telling you that you could bring along your insignificant albino with you." Yugi could see Ryou fighting back tears.

"Leave him alone. All I want is the money you promised, and we'll go."

"Oh all of this We'll this and We'll that. I didn't know you were dating." Yugi went bright red. "when's the wedding?"

"You know I'm this close to sending a nice little letter to a newspaper, telling them what the famous Seto Kaiba did when he got drunk on his birthday." Yugi said, his fists clenched. Kaiba threw him a huge stack of one hundred-pound notes.

"There." He spat, "that should get you four tickets on a flight to Hawaii, and a small house when you get there. Now get out of my house, love birds!" and he pushed them out of the front door.

Bakura was walking up the street (Totally by coincidence J), and saw Yugi and Ryou walking towards him laughing and joking, with a huge pile of money in Yugi's hands.

"Where did you get all that money from?" he asked.

"We robbed a bank." Yugi answered.

"Yeah. It was easy!" Ryou said. and they walked off. OH! So now they're robbing banks together!!?!?!!?" Bakura thought.
