Authoress's Note: Here is the next chapter! I don't own "Yu-Gi-Oh!" AND I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST ANY RELIGIONS! Some of them have slightly annoying members, but it's the person's fault. For the purposes of this story, I made a Christian faction called the Church of Liberators. It is in no way based on any church I have ever heard of.
Kaiba: *trails behind everyone else* *takes a right into a nice little side street* *looks in pocket for the wad of hundred-dollar bills*
Kaiba: TO THE FLOWER SHOP!
*scene change*
*some nice Mozart music starts playing* *we see Téa meditating in the center of the room* *there are cards spread out systematically around her*
*the door slams below*
*gasping breaths*
*downstairs…*
Pegasus: Are you sure we got away from that thing?
Yami: I sure hope so. Wait; where is Yami Bakura?
Ryou: He went into the Ring as soon as we started running. Where is Yugi?
Yami: He doesn't run very fast.
Pegasus: *rolls eye* I don't have a yami.
Ryou: No, you don't. You have an insane suit that wants to take over the world.
Pegasus: But it isn't a yami.
Ryou: I don't care if it isn't a yami!
Yami: You guys aren't talking about me, are you?
Pegasus and Ryou: WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU?!
Pegasus: *murmur* Self-centered obsessive fop…
Ryou: *at the same time as Pegasus* *murmur* Bloody idiot…
Yami: *snicker* I swear you two act exactly alike!
Pegasus and Ryou: I DO NOT ACT EXACTLY LIKE HIM!
*Téa comes down the stairs in nice clothes custom-designed for meditation*
Téa: You guys, I was trying to meditate. Would you mind being quiet?
Yami: You… meditate?
Téa: Yes.
Yami: Anything in specific you were meditating on?
Téa: I hate homosexuals.
Yami, Pegasus, and Ryou: *blabbering at same time about evil homophobic people*
Téa: I also like Yugi, and I was trying to figure out if I could make him so he's not queer.
Yami: You know that isn't possible.
Téa: Yes it is! Jesus has all the answers! That is why I joined the Liberation of Jesus-Followers, a group designed to purge society of all of those who do not accept him as a savior. If you do not stop your evil ways, I will be forced to hurt you!
Pegasus: *whispers* Reminds me of the Inquisition…
Yami: We were functioning just fine until he came along. All of those storytellers started spinning stories for their children. Heck, half of the stuff in there is not based on fact!
Téa: *waves around a bible* *thwacks Yami* YOU EGYPTIAN SORCERERS ARE ALL ALIKE! YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT THE ERRORS OF YOUR WAYS!
Pegasus: *gets an evil look on my face and looks at Ryou*
Ryou: *mirror's Pegasus's evil look* *grabs him by the ruffled shirt and pulls him in for a really deep kiss*
Téa: *screams*
Yami: *smirks*
Téa: *this scene has made a permanent mental scar* *lower lip trembles*
Yami: The only thing I can't understand is why you are talking about Jesus but you play Duel Monsters, which was based on a lot of spiritual and religious things…
Téa: My cards have all been purified by the Church of Liberators. I have asked God to forgive me every time I play. He knows that I accept him as my one and only God.
Bakura: *takes over Ryou in the middle of the kiss* *pulls Pegasus in deeper* *draws away finally* Yami, you know, this would be a good time to teach her that there is more than one right path.
Yami: You try to explain it to her, Bakura. If you don't get her to understand, I'll intervene. Yugi is very protective of her.
Bakura: In Ancient Egypt, there were many paths of life. I was a tomb robber. Tomb robbing was a profession in the good old days. There were guilds and hierarchies just like any other profession. I started robbing tombs when I was about two years younger than Ryou, and I was what we called a "freelance tomb robber." It's just like religion. There are many different paths, and all of them eventually lead to the right thing.
Yami: *whispers* I knew he was going to work in grave robbing somehow…
Bakura: Shut up.
Yami: You shut up.
Bakura: No, you shut up!
Yami: I'm pharaoh!
Bakura: I would have robbed your grave!
Yami: You would have been an old man before you had the opportunity!
Bakura: No I wouldn't! Your assassination was scheduled for the day after you sealed the Shadow Realm for that short time!
Yami: You knew this?
Bakura: Yes.
Yami: Who else knew?
Téa: I did.
Yami: You weren't even alive back then!
Téa: Jesus talks to me. He is my savior. He spoke to me about the assassination while I was opening myself to his infinite wisdom.
Yami: Anyone else?
Pegasus: I knew.
Yami: And how did you know? Please tell me you didn't hear voices…
Pegasus: No, I don't have schizophrenia. I was someone back in Egypt; I don't know who precisely, but I sometimes have dreams about my past life. I was the one who was with Bakura in his evil plans.
Bakura: You remember that?
Pegasus: No, I had a dream about it, and I used my Millennium Eye to find the seed of truth inside my dream so I could have a flashback.
Bakura: Wow; that Millennium Eye is useful!
Pegasus: Yes, it is.
Téa: *staring at Pegasus* *just noticed this* You're wearing bikini underpants! *giggle*
Pegasus: It's not my fault. The suit I was wearing is possessed by an evil spirit. It is looking for us; it wants to take over the world!
Téa: *laughs* An evil suit?
*Kaiba decides this is the right time to walk in*
Pegasus: Kaiba-boy!
Kaiba: Hello, Pegasus. *is holding a bouquet of flowers*
Bakura: Where did you get those?
Kaiba: While you were distracting the suit, I went to pick up some flowers.
VU: *yells down from where I'm writing the story* He has a crush on Téa!
Téa: I thought you were gay.
Kaiba: No, I'm not; I'm bi.
Téa: *happy dance* A SALVAGABLE!
Kaiba: Um… no. That's not how it works. ANYWAY, I was coming over here to see if I could ask you to go to the movies sometimes, maybe a few parties in my social division. I think you're really sweet, Téa, and my psychologist said that I needed to get over my fear of rejection, so I'm asking you out.
Téa: *falls into Kaiba's arms comically* I accept!
Pegasus: Now he'll really be impossible!
Kaiba: *little glare*
Yami: I thought he liked me… *sniffle* THIS IS JUST PERFECT! I'M LOCKING MYSELF IN MY SOUL ROOM AND I'M NEVER COMING OUT!
Pegasus: Good riddance…
Bakura: Yami's gone soft… isn't good for mental state…
Yugi: What did you people do? Yami won't come out of his soul room! *sees Téa and Kaiba* NOOO! *cries*
*the scene shifts to somewhere out on the street where the suit is slinking around*
Jou: *walks down the street with several bags of food* *hums*
The Suit: NOW I WILL HAVE A NEW HOST! *jumps him*
Jou: AAAH! *wails and screams* SOMEONE'S RAPING ME!
The Suit: NO. IT IS I, THE SUIT. YOU WILL BE MY DWELLING!
Jou: Oh, that's good. I thought I was being violated.
The Suit: No, you will just be taken over by me for as long as your body endures. In time, I will break you and make you my mental slave with no will of your own. Of course I'm not violating you!
Jou: You're right, you're… Hey wait a sec! Wouldn't that be a type of violation? *the suit slips in the arm*
The Suit: HA-HA! FOOLISH MORTAL! WHILE I BAFFLED YOU WITH MY WITS, I MADE YOU MINE FOR ALL TIME! NOW YOU WILL LOSE HOLD OF YOUR BODY AND I WILL TAKE CONTROL OF YOU!
Jou-Suit: FOOLISH MORTAL. NOW I HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR BODY. WE WILL SEEK OUT YOUR FRIENDS AND I WILL LURE THEM ALL UNDER MY CONTROL, ESPECIALLY THAT PATHETIC GIRL, MAI, WHO HAS HAD CORRECTIVE SURGERY BECAUSE SHE WAS BORN AS AN IT. YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE NEVER, EVER DONE!
Jou: Are you my yami?
Jou-Suit: NO. I AM THE ALL-POWERFUL SUIT, THE ALL-POWERFUL SON OF AMON RE, WHO WENT THROUGH A PHASE OF MENTAL INSTABILITY AND DECIDED TO CREATE ME ONE THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
Jou: NOOO! Leave me alone! Leave Mai alone!
Jou-Suit: YOUR COMEBACK WAS A LITTLE LATE, JOUNOUCHI. *walks down the street in Jou's body* *evil chuckle* NOW THE WORLD WILL BE MINE.
