Chibi Bakura's First December
Mystical Knight Dragon: Merry Christmas everyone! This is a story that I thought up during an ice storm that we had. We got let out of school early, and while I was waiting for my bus to be called, I began to write this out of sheer boredom. Any /./ means that it's italicized. Most of that means that it's someone thinking. But sometimes it's not. Anyways, in this, I shafted a lot of people in my classes, so if you don't know what I'm talking about, um.ignore it? Maybe not? I dunno. Yami Bakura is Bakura, Hikari Bakura is Ryou, Yami Malik is Marik, Hikari Malik is Malik, and Yami Yugi is Yami.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or anyone in my class, except for me; but I'm not really mentioned in this. I don't own Zelda either. I do own Harp. He's my character. I made up purple moose, too. Or, at least I think I did...

I stuck something else in there too that I don't remember all that well what it was. I don't exactly remember what I was going to say, either. Which brings me to my next point: this is Yaoi.

/December 1: Snow Storms and Bill the Chibi Molester/
It was a cold winter morning when Chibi Bakura woke up. It was the first of December: his first December away from Egypt. He was really excited, but it was just so cold!
He jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and rushed to phone to call his best friend, Chibi Malik.
"Hello!" he screeched when his friend picked up.
"Hello!" Chibi Malik shouted back. "Happy December!"
"You too!" Chibi Bakura was really excited as he ran to the door to rush off to Chibi Malik's while he was still on the phone, but when he opened his door, he got a big shock. "Uh...Malik? Is there a whole bunch of white stuff outside your house too?"
Chibi Malik got off his bed and hobbled over to his window. When he looked, he screamed in fear. Every inch of space was coated in some sort of white substance. "Bakura? What is that stuff out there?"
"I don't know..." stammered Chibi Bakura.
At that point Chibi Ryou walked down the stairs to find Chibi Bakura standing with the door wide open, staring outside. "Either go out or stay in," he reprimanded.
"Ryou!" Chibi Bakura screamed at his hikari. "What is that stuff?!"
Chibi Ryou walked over to the door and looked out. "Snow!" he shouted. "Yeah!" Then he ran back up the stairs to get some warmer clothing.
Chibi Bakura stared after him for a while then said to his friend, "I think Ryou's gone crazy. I'm going to go save him. I'll call you back later, okay?"
"Okay," said Chibi Malik reluctantly. "Be careful. Talk to you later."
With that, they hung up. Chibi Malik just sat on his couch and stared out the window, watching more of the white stuff fall. Chibi Bakura, on the other hand, dashed after his hikari to check on his sanity.
When Chibi Bakura reached Chibi Ryou's room, he found his hikari bundled tightly in winter clothes. "Ryou!" shouted Chibi Bakura. "What is eating you?!"
Chibi Ryou looked a bit confused, but then realized that he must look pretty silly all bundled up like that. "It's okay, Bakura," he told his yami. "It's cold, so I put on lots of clothes. You probably should put warmer clothes on, too."
Chibi Bakura nodded, then looked over to his hikari's bed and saw his scarf. "Ryou!" he shouted. "What is that?!"
Chibi Ryou followed his gazed, then smiled wickedly. "I don't know Bawkuwa!" Then he managed to kick the bed without his yami noticing. "Oh my gosh! It just moved!"
"It's gonna kill us!" With that comment, Chibi Ryou started laughing so hard that he fell over.
"What are you laughing at?" Chibi Bakura asked, going red with rage.
After a little bit Chibi Ryou was finally able to gasp out "scarf!" between giggles.
"Scarf," Chibi Bakura sounded out. Chibi Ryou just sat there and laughed. Chibi Bakura loved watching his hikari laugh. The darker half decided to mess around with the "scarf" to make him laugh even more.
He walked over to the bed and poked it a bit to make sure that it wasn't dangerous. Then he picked it up and wrapped it around his neck and was pretending to strangle himself when his hikari spoke up:
"Bakura? That's how you're supposed to put on a scarf..."
Chibi Bakura looked embarrassed, and he left the room to call Chibi Malik to tell him that his hikari was alright. Just as he was leaving the room, something soft whacked him in the back of the head. He screamed and ran out of the room yelling, "The scarves are after me! Help!" All the while Chibi Ryou just sat there laughing hysterically.
When Chibi Bakura reached his room, he wasn't in the mood for calling his friend. He was beginning to get strange feelings when he was around his hikari, like his heart was expanding. He remembered feeling this same way about the kawaii little puppy he had found once. But then again, he and Malik had set fire to it...
A little bit later Chibi Ryou made his way to his darker half's room with some winter clothes for him. The lighter half laughed the whole time that his yami struggled with the winter clothing. After a while Chibi Bakura began to get annoyed. "Please help me!" he said exasperatedly. Chibi Ryou gave a quick explanation about how to put on layers of clothes and then started toward the door to leave. "Ryou!" Chibi Bakura moaned at him. "I said please!"
Chibi Ryou grinned. He loved his yami, but he knew that he didn't feel the same way back. His yami probably didn't even know what love was, much less be capable of loving someone or something. "Okay, Bakura. I'll help you."
About thirty minutes later, Chibi Bakura was in so much winter clothing that he could hardly walk. Chibi Ryou, on the other hand, was used to it and ran down the hall towards the stairs. Chibi Bakura waddled after his hikari as fast as he could, which was not very fast.
"After you," the lighter half grinned, indicating the stairs.
Something about this grin freaked Chibi Bakura out, but he started down the steps anyways. He was having enough trouble as it was, but when he got to the second step from the top, he felt a light push on his back. He tottered a bit, trying to regain his balance, but in the end gravity won and he fell face-forward all the way down the steps. All the while Chibi Ryou just stood there and laughed. In the end, though, he laughed so hard that he fell down the steps, too, and landed right on top of his yami.
As luck would have it, at that exact moment the doorbell rang. Chibi Ryou jumped up as best he could and ran to answer it.
"Hello!" shouted Chibi Yugi. Chibi Yami was still far back down the street, trying to avoid any bits of snow that he came across. Chibi Ryou giggled a bit when he saw Chibi Yami. He probably had more clothes on than Chibi Bakura did, who was /still/ trying to get up.
"Hurry up Bawkuwa!" Chibi Ryou shouted at his yami.
When Chibi Bakura was still struggling five minutes later, Chibi Ryou sighed and went to help him up. Once this task was completed, Chibi Ryou ran out the door to Chibi Yugi and Chibi Yami. Chibi Bakura just stood at the door and looked out.
"Come on Bawkuwa!" shouted Chibi Yugi.
"It's my first snow, too," Chibi Yami tried to comfort him. When Chibi Bakura still wouldn't move, he tried again. "You aren't afraid are you?"
Chibi Bakura resented this. He was going to kill Chibi Yami for that! Stupid Chibi Pharaoh! Chibi Bakura took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and plunged into the snow. He was silent for a moment then managed to moan out, "COLD!!!" In synchronization, Chibis Yami, Yugi, and Ryou looked at each other and burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Chibi Bakura challenged.
Chibi Yugi was about to tell him, but Chibi Ryou caught the murderous glint in his yami's eyes and cut him off. "It's nothing." Then he changed the subject by saying, "We'wre going to go over to Joey and Tristan's to see if they want to have a snowball fight. You want to come?"
"No thanks," Chibi Bakura answered. He /hated/ Chibi Joey and Chibi Tristan. "I think I'm going to go see what Malik is up to." With that they took their separate ways, but not before Chibi Bakura had pushed Chibi Yami into the snow.
A few minutes after the chibis had departed, Chibi Bakura had lost his way in all the snow. In some places, the snow was over his head! When he realized that he was lost, he began to panic. He had never gotten lost alone before. Chibi Ryou or Chibi Malik had always been there.
After he had passed the same hobo ten times, he was really afraid. In the end, he just sat down on the sidewalk and bawled. The tears on his cheeks made him shiver and cry even harder. Soon he could hardly feel his body. When this happened, chance decided to bring some "help" by.
"What's the matter little boy?" asked a man walking by that was (how to put this nicely...) bi.
Chibi Bakura looked up. The, um, man (cough, cough) seemed friendly enough, so he answered: "My hikari told me to never talk to strangers."
The man smiled and said, "My name is Bill." Then he shook Chibi Bakura's hand. "There now. We aren't strangers anymore, are we?"
"I guess not..."
He was on the verge of telling Bill that he was lost and didn't know where the Ishtar's house was when another man walked by and whispered, "Don't trust him! Bill will hurt your hikari in unusual ways!"
Chibi Bakura's eyes went wide. He had heard of these types of people before. He jumped up, kicked Bill in the place where he shouldn't, and ran off down the street. While he was looking back over his shoulder to see if Bill was still following him, he plowed into someone.
"Watch where you're going!" a familiar voice shouted at him.
Chibi Bakura looked to see whom he had run into. When he saw, he shouted "Malik!" and helped up his friend.
"Where were you going in such a hurry?" asked Chibi Malik.
"I'm running away from the Bill molester."
Chibi Malik's eyes widened. "You actually met him?"
"Yeah... He was scary."
At that point they both began to shiver and couldn't feel their bodies. "Why don't we go back to my house?" asked Chibi Malik. "Isis might make us some hot chocolate."
When they reached the gate to the Ishtar's house, something cold and hard whacked the two chibis in the face. "COLD!!!" they both shouted in unison.
Chibi Isis waddled out of the house as fast as she could when she heard their cries. What she saw was her little brother and his friend crying from the cold, and a giant wall of ice hiding her little brother's insane yami. "Marik!" she shouted at him. "What do you think you're doing?!" Chibi Marik just stood there and grinned. Then he ran off, probably to do some other evil and idiotic deed.
Chibi Bakura stared at Chibi Isis. "Gosh she's beautiful," he thought. Then he remembered his hikari. "But not as beautiful as Ryou. Wait a minute. What am I thinking about?! That's just wrong!"
Fifteen minutes after the chibis had finished their hot chocolate in front of a fire, the doorbell rang. Chibi Isis went to answer it, and called back to her little brother that Chibi Ryou was at the door. Chibi Malik and Chibi Bakura jumped up, grabbed their jackets, and hobbled over to see the door standing wide open with no one there.
"Ryou?" Chibi Malik called out into the snow. The two chibis were very puzzled, so they wandered outside to look for the missing chibi.
When they were no more than ten feet from the safety of the house, about a million snowballs bombarded them from all sides. Chibi Bakura's first instinct was to cry, but he didn't. He needed to be brave for his hikari.
Chibi Malik, on the other hand, was furious. He called his yami through his mind link for extra backup, and then unsheathed the knife from his millennium rod. "There will be blood spilt today," he said to himself, licking his lips.
Chibi Bakura sensed his thought. He knew that he should stop his friend, but he loved death: the sight, the smell, the shrieks they made, but most of all he loved killing the victim. The little chibi looked down at the millennium ring he had around his neck. He had never really thought about it before. All he knew was that he could read peoples' minds with it. Although now was just a good of time as any to test its limits.
He reached in his pockets to see if there was an instruction manual of some sort, but all he found was his deck of cards. He loved his cards. They were his whole life. /So is my ring./ He flipped through his deck and came to his favorite card: the Man Eater Bug. He pulled it out and held it up.
His ring, card, and body began to glow. He closed his eyes against the blinding light, and when he was finally able to open them again, a giant Man Eater Bug was standing right before him! He tried to scream out in fear, but found that his voice was gone.
"Call it back! Call it back!" He heard the voice from far off. His arm was getting heavy, so he began to lower it. As it went down, the Bug began to flicker. Its cold eyes stared at him, as if daring it to finish him off, and Chibi Bakura dropped off into a faint from cold and fear.
A bit later Chibi Bakura regained consciousness. He looked around and saw that he was still in the Ishtar's yard. His body was numb with cold, and many other bodies had surrounded him. He tried to speak, but nothing came.
Then a voice that was unfamiliar to all of them could be heard. "Move out of the way, please," it said. A man with brown eyes filled with worry, gold earrings, and a turban came into Chibi Bakura's view. After checking the chibi's health, the man's eyes became filled with rage. He was about to speak again when someone else spoke up.
"What's the matter with him?" it asked. Chibi Bakura knew that voice. He had a bit of trouble placing it, but then it hit him: Bill the Chibi Molester! The chibi's eyes went wide with fear. He tried to warn the others, but his voice still wouldn't work. It seemed frozen within him. Then Bill spoke up again: "I am the boy's father."
"Alright then," said the man in the turban. "You may do what you want with him." Chibi Bakura freaked out. Where are your hikaris when you need them?!
Then Chibi Malik's voice was heard: "Why can't he just stay with me? He was supposed to spend the night anyways." Chibi Bakura sighed with relief, or at least tried to. His lungs felt frozen and it hurt to breathe.
"I don't think that's such a good idea right now," said Bill. "He seems to be in some sort of hypothermia."
Chibi Bakura felt himself being lifted. "Please don't let me go with the Bill molester!" he thought hard. "Please, no! Oh, where is Ryou?! He's going to be in so much trouble if he doesn't come to help me!"
Chibi Ryou, this whole time, had been standing behind a tree making snowballs for a snowball fight later on. Suddenly he heard a small whisper of "Please no!" echoing around his head that sounded strangely like his yami's voice. He peeked around the tree and saw a man with gold earrings and a turban, a man who was a man, yet not, and a whole bunch of chibis standing in a circle around something. The little chibi walked over to the others and tried to peek around them. When he did not succeed, he asked, "What's up guys?"
Chibi Malik spoke up. "Bawkuwa has hypiefermanal, so his daddy's going to take him home."
Chibi Ryou looked around. "I don't see my daddy," he said. "Where is he? I thought he died..."
The chibis and the man in the turban simultaneously looked from Chibi Bakura to Chibi Ryou to Bill. "What did you say?" asked the man in the turban, his eyes going cold with anger and hatred against Bill.
Chibi Ryou took one look into those eyes and quailed with fear. "I-I- I'm no-not s-s-s-uppos-s-sed t-to t-t-talk t-to s-s-trangers-s-s," he stammered out. Chibi Bakura mentally slapped himself. Oh, if only he could move right then, his hikari would be dead!
The man in the turban looked confused for a second, then nodded. "I am Shadi," he introduced. "Now, what do you mean that this man is not your father?" The minutes passed, and all you could hear was the sound of their breathing. Chibi Isis had gone in and gotten some blankets for Chibi Bakura, and now he was beginning to warm up. When Chibi Ryou still hadn't said anything for ten minutes, Chibi Bakura took a deep breath and managed to gasp out "Bill molester!"
Everyone stared down at the little chibi. He was panting very hard and his face had almost no color at all. The man called Shadi took off his jacket, revealing robes of Egyptian cotton, and wrapped it around Chibi Bakura, trying to bring some life back into him. The little chibi was very embarrassed. He was always independent, but something about the giant Man-eater Bug seemed to have taken some of his life and will to go on away. Shadi looked up at Bill, his eyes cold and dark with hatred. Bill smiled a bit, opened his mouth to say something, but them looked deep into Shadi's eyes and ran away.
"Okay, Bawkuwa," said Chibi Isis. "Come inside to warm up."
As she started to lead the chibi inside, Shadi spoke up: "I think I'm going to need to take care of him for a little while." Chibi Bakura's eyes widened and he began to shake from fear. "Just for a little while," Shadi assured him, his eyes softening a great deal. He picked up the chibi, and, despite his fear, Chibi Bakura felt relaxed. But when he started to move away from the others, the calamity was replaced by a deep sense of fear.
"Ryou," he moaned at his hikari. Chibi Ryou just stood there in shock, staring after his darker half being carried away by a man who he didn't even know. Then the man began to speak words of comfort. Chibi Bakura tuned them out. He did not want to be comforted; he just wanted to be with his hikari.
Halfway to their destination (wherever that was...) Chibi Bakura felt himself sinking: the cold, hard cement of the sidewalk getting closer and closer to his face. Shadi landed in a faint on the ground, avoiding the chibi as best he could. Chibi Bakura looked up from the spot that he had rolled off to and saw two men in spandex acrobat suits grinning down at him, and one of them was holding a very large rock.
"He will make a very good prop," said one of the men in a very feminine voice. Chibi Bakura just sat there and shook, making the men laugh. They picked him up and brought him to their van that said GAY BROS CIRCUS on the side in red and gold paint. They carefully placed the chibi in the back seat. When they turned around, the little chibi was able to see that they had their names on the backs of their shirts. One shirt said Chance, and the older man's shirt said Mark. Chance and Mark closed up the van, got in the front seat, and drove off.
Chibi Bakura found that his thoughts were drifting back to his hikari. "Ryou!" he moaned silently. Then his thoughts drifted back to Shadi. /Who is he, anyways? Why had he wanted to take me away? Is he alright? And what did Bill have to do with anything? Will I ever get to spend the night at the Ishtar's? Will I ever get to see my hikari again?/ He began to stare out the window after a while. Thousands of trees and cows began to flick by. "Ryou!" he moaned again and continued staring.
Chibi Ryou stared after his yami being taken away by Shadi. Now he would probably never see him again. He sat down and began to cry. "It's alright," comforted Chibi Isis, and she took him inside and made him some tea.
About twenty minutes later, Chibi Ryou got a short image of cows and trees. Then he heard his name being whispered all around him. He looked up and tried to place the voice. It sounded like his yami's! "Bakura!" he shouted and ran to the door. When he flung it open, he was surprised not to see his yami, but yet another man (_). But this one was selling Girl Scout cookies.
"Would you like to buy some cookies?" he asked, sounding like a little girl.
Chibi Ryou's face went blank for a second, and then he regained his composure and said, "Yeah...sure... Why not?" He turned around to call to Chibi Isis, but that's when the man grabbed him. The chibi felt himself being pulled backwards and out into the snow, wtihout a jacket. "COLD!" he moaned as he fell into some ice.
"Oh, please be quiet," said the man. "I'm here to help you!" Chibi Ryou seriously doubted this, but let himself be shoved into the man's car, trying to be brave like his yami would have been in this situation. But some things are just too much on the mind, and he broke down in tears.
Hours later, they stopped in the middle of a field. "And why are we in the middle of a field?" asked Chibi Ryou.
"Because the authoress ran out of ideas and needs to stall a bit to think of something," answered the man. "Oh, and by the way, the authoress doesn't want to call me "man" anymore, so she's forced me to tell you my name: Mr. Homo."
Chibi Ryou's eyes went wide. "Mister...Homo?" he asked. "Wait.. I thought you got arrested last month..."
Mr. Homo looked uncomfortable. "I was..." he said slowly. "But that's all in the past. Right now we need to get out of this field!"
"But de authoress still doesn't know where to send us!"
"Aw, she won't kill us... At least I don't think she will..."
"You obviously haven't read any of her fanfics..."
"She even thought about killing me!" said Harp, popping up from no where.
Mr. Homo looked confused. "And you are...?"
"Not supposed to be here." With that, Harp disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.
"That was...odd," said Mr. Homo as he drove out of the field at ninety miles an hour.
Chibi Ryou looked amused. "It's the attack of the random characters!" he shrieked. Link and Navi were about to pop up when Mr. Homo drove past a circus. "The circus! The circus!" Chibi Ryou shouted over and over. He looked up at Mr. Homo and gave him the puppy dog eyes. "Can we please go to the circus, please?"
Mr. Homo gave in. "Alright..." he said. "But just for a little bit. I'm not being a very good hostage keeper person."
"Yeah!" shouted Chibi Ryou jumping all around. He had been in a much better spirit ever since Harp came by and gave him a big bar of chocolate. Mr. Homo groaned. He just knew that he was going to regret this. Chibi Ryou looked up and saw a big sign on the side of a truck. "What does dat sign say, Mister Homo?"
Mr. Homo looked and saw the sign. "It, uh, says GAY BROS CIRCUS," he said hesitantly. He really didn't want to be teaching a little kid about homos right now...
"Yeah!" shrieked the little chibi on sugar high. "Gay bros! Gay bros!"
Mr. Homo's mind was about to collapse. Of all the hostages that he had taken, this one had to be the worst! He just wouldn't shut up! He looked around and saw another little chibi that appeared to be knocked out and being held up by two men in spandex suits. When he drove closer to inspect the men, he saw something that shocked him. "That little chibi looks exactly like you!" Chibi Ryou looked up, but the thing that Mr. Homo had been pointing to was gone.
"Can we go see de elephants now?" asked Chibi Ryou looking up at the enormous creatures that futilely struggled against the iron bars of their cages. Mr. Homo shuddered. First the kid wouldn't shut up or calm down from his sugar-high, and now he wanted to see the hideous gray beasts that did absolutely nothing except make a whole bunch of noise. Mr. Homo was about to tell him that they would absolutely not go to see the elephants, and they were going to turn around that instant when Chibi Ryou whipped out the puppy-dog eyes. Mr. Homo gulped and drove around to find a place to park.
"Elephants!" shrieked Chibi Ryou. "I get to see the elephants! And the tigers! And the penguins!"
"Hey!" shouted Mr. Homo. "You just asked about the elephants!"
"But you pass everything to get to the elephants." Mr. Homo groaned. This was going to be a long day.
When they got out of the car, the little chibi immediately shot for the animal cages behind the main tent. Mr. Homo followed at a slow trudge, regretting every step that he took. Then he thought of something: Why not just leave him here? No one would ever know! Mr. Homo looked around for the chibi, saw that he was three cages ahead, and then dashed behind the monkeys and into the tent beyond, only to come face-to-face with Mark and Chance.
Chibi Ryou was not aware of any of this, so he continued walking until he got to the elephants. "Elephants! Elephants!" he shouted at the big, gray beasts.
His cries were heard by one of the circus staff. It was another chibi molester by the name of Adam, who just happened to be Bill's boyfriend. "Isn't Slutty the Elephant beautiful?" Adam asked, coming up from behind him. Chibi Ryou was about to answer when Adam grabbed him and dragged him off to the tent that Mr. Homo had gone into. "Here he is, boss," said Adam to Mark. "He was at the elephants looking at Slutty."
Chibi Ryou looked around. He had never been in a circus tent before, much less any tent. He saw a man in leopard patterned spandex (_ ew!) hanging from the ceiling who looked oddly like Mr. Homo. There were thousands of glass figurines everywhere and some oddly shaped whips.
"That's wonderful, Adam!" grinned Mark. "He's gotten out at least ten times today! We're going to need to put a bell on him or something." Chibi Ryou was confused, but he allowed himself to be led away by the circus tamers.
Mark and Chance led the chibi past all the animals, the tents that he workers lived in, and all the rednecks' trailers that were parked in random places. At last they reached another tent that was very much like the first and went inside. There were two hallways leading off the main portion, and they went down the one to the right. There were many twists and turns and more tunnels than the chibi could count.
Finally they reached a little door that blended in with the rest of the tent. They wandered into the next room and saw another little chibi attached to a wall with chains on his arms and legs- -and he looked exactly like Chibi Ryou!
"Bakura!" Chibi Ryou shrieked at his yami.
"Ryou!" Chibi Bakura shouted back at his hikari.
Chance and mark just stood there and looked confused.
Chibi Bakura managed to free an arm from the ropes binding him. He reached into his pocket to make sure his deck was still there, and pulled out the top card: The Man-Eater Bug. He held it up and was surrounded by a soft glow of light. This time he knew the effects that he would receive and was ready for them. He was still shocked, though, when a giant Man-Eater Bug emerged from the card that he was holding. The Bug reared up and immediately killed Mark and Chance. The chibi lowered the card, stuffed it back in his pocket, and proceeded to get himself from the contraptions that bound him to the wall.
Chibi Ryou was enthralled (A/N: Ooo... Big word...). He had heard about his yami killing people 5000 years ago for fun, and he had seen him kill a few animals; but /never/ had he seen him kill a /human/ without any trace of worry! The darker half just looked so calm as he tried to undo his feet from the wall. Chibi Bakura met his hikari's eyes with a cold, hard stare, and the light let his gaze drop.
The minutes ticked by slowly, but finally Chibi Bakura had released himself from the wall. They exited the room, and, with extreme difficulty, made their way back to the main portion of the tent. After another brief stop to see Slutty the Elephant, the two chibis made their way to the main road. A pair of lavender eyes watched them leave.
When they got to the road, Chibi Ryou ventured to ask, "How are we going to get home?" Chibi Bakura grinned evilly, stuck out his fist, and made a thumbs-up motion. "You're going to hitch-hike?!" he gasped.
"Yes," said the darker half, "and so are you."
Presently a black car drove by. "Where are you headed?" asked a voice from inside.
Before Chibi Ryou could stop him, Chibi Bakura blurted, "To the Ishtar's house." Chibi Ryou mentally slapped himself. He was going to /kill/ his yami for that.
"I'm headed that way," said the voice. He unlocked the doors and added a cheerful, "Hop in!" The two chibis climbed into the back seat, took a look at the driver, and gasped.
Chibi Isis was in her room when she heard the doorbell ring. "My lazy brother better get that," she thought to herself. Moments later she heard the door slam, and a pitiful moan of "COLD!!!" Her eyes widened, and she bounded down the steps to the front door just in time to see a car drive off from her driveway. Her first instinct was to check for her brother, but why would anyone want to take /him/? (A/N: Me! Me!) So she looked around for Chibi Ryou. After twenty minutes of searching, she still couldn't find him, and was panicking beyond control. At that moment, her younger brother decided to pop up.
"Is something the matter, Isis?" he asked.
"Yes something is the matter!" she yelped. Chibi Malik was about to slink away from the rabid Chibi Isis, but she grabbed him and threw him on the ground. "Where is Ryou?!"
Chibi Malik's body went limp. He had now lost both of his best friends in the same day. "What do you mean where is he?" he asked, thinking maybe he hadn't heard correctly.
"I mean what I said!" She grabbed her brother by the arm and jerked it as hard as she could. "Now where is he?!" Chibi Malik's face went white. He had no idea where Chibi Ryou went, but why not mess with her mind a bit? He smiled a bit as he stood up, and pulled the dagger out of his millennium rod. It still had a little blood from that poor animal that got too close to him, though Chibi Isis took this the wrong way and her eyes went wide. "Y-you k-killed him?" she stammered. Chibi Malik just stood there and grinned.
Chibi Marik watched the whole scenario. He was proud of his hikari for actually sticking up for himself, but he really needed to learn when to tick off his sister and when not to. Right now was the time not to, and since his hikari wasn't doing anything about finding his friends, it was up to him. He ran out the door, stole the neighbor's keys that they had so foolishly left in the ignition, and sped off. He drove /terribly/! Not only was he too short to drive, but he had never driven anything in all the 5000 plus years that he had been alive. Those poor sheep that will never breathe again after being squashed by a crazy yami...
After a little bit, he passed a big sign that said GAY BROS CIRCUS next exit. Not being able to read anything but hieroglyphics, this didn't do him any good, but somehow he knew to turn down the road anyways.
He stopped the car behind a tree, or rather crashed the car /into/ the tree, and made his way towards the circus parking lot. He saw a very nice van with the keys in the ignition (How many idiotic people are there?) and hopped in. He revved up the engine and was about to drive off when he saw two figures out the rear-view mirror trudging through the snow towards the main road. Chibi Marik sped from the parking lot and towards the two hitch-hikes. He screeched to a halt just in front of them and asked where they were headed.
"To the Ishtar's house," said Chibi Bakura.
"I'm headed that way," Chibi Marik told them as he unlocked the doors. "Hop in!" The two chibis climbed in the back seat and gasped.
"Marik!" they screamed. The crazy psycho yami locked the doors and sped off down the road.
"Marik..." started Chibi Bakura. "You're going the wrong way..." Chibi Marik sweat dropped and wheeled the car around, but halfway it slipped on a chunk of ice and spun out of control. The chibis gritted their teeth as they crashed into a tree.
"Thanks Marik!" Chibi Ryou yelled at him. "Now how are we going to get back?!"
Chibi Bakura hopped out of the car. "I don't know about you two, but I'm gonna hitch-hike a freak that can /actually drive/!"
Chibi Marik got very offensive at this comment. "What is that supposed to mean?!" he yelled at his friend. Chibi Bakura just stood there and glared. This made Chibi Marik very uneasy, so he tackled Chibi Bakura.
"Stop it guys!" Chibi Ryou shouted at them. "You're ruining the Christmas spirit!" The two other chibis glanced up from their fight.
"Chwissmist?" said Chibi Marik. "What is that?"
Chibi Ryou sighed. He really didn't feel like going into detail at that moment, so he changed the subject. "Let's go home please. It's freezing!" Chibi Bakura walked over to the road and attempted to hitch- hike a motorcycle when he was stopped by his hikari. "No way we're doing that again! That's the reason that we /don't/ have a car right now." Chibi Ryou glared at Chibi Marik, but only got a mirrored effect.
They had not walked more than 500 feet when a car pulled up next to tem. "Need a ride?" asked a voice from inside the car.
"Please!" moaned the yamis before Chibi Ryou could stop them, for they were so cold they were numb. The three chibis stumbled into the car and saw that the driver was none other than Bill!
"Thanks a lot, Bakura," Chibi Ryou said accusingly. Chibi Bakura looked very upset at this comment, for all he had been trying to do was save his precious hikari from the cold. "Now, you got us into this mess, you and Marik, so you have to get us out of it."
Chibi Bakura and Chibi Marik simultaneously looked at each other and yelled, "Attack of the random characters!" Immediately Link and Navi popped in on a pink cloud. Link landed on Bill, and Navi.didn't...exactly land...
"Help us, O Mighty Chicken That Floats," commanded Chibi Marik. Navi sweat dropped and jerked them out of the car. Link tried to escape, but Bill had him in such a tight huggle that he couldn't even budge. When Navi and the chibis had gotten pretty far away from Bill's car, Chibi Marik burst out, "Thank you so much, O Mighty Chicken That Floats!"
Navi got very angry at this. It turned red and yelled very loudly, "I AM NOT A CHICKEN!!!"
There was a moment's pause, then Chibi Marik contradicted, "Yes you are. You just think you're not." Navi just flew away, too angry and embarrassed to say anything. "Bye Almighty Chicken That Floats!" Chibi Marik called after it as the chibis continued walking.
"You really shouldn't tick off spirits," said Chibi Bakura. "They'll come back and haunt you."
"It's not a spirit!" contradicted Chibi Marik. "It's a Norwegian Floating-Chicken Spy. It just wants us to not know its real identity."
"And how much sugar did you have this morning?" asked Chibi Ryou.
"Let's see... I had two boxen of glazed doughnuts, eleven pounds of sugar, thirty-two lollipops, fifteen chocolate cookies, a cherry coke, half a moosen, and an egg with oregano."
"Oh great," thought the other chibis. "A crazy psycho on sugar high."
An hour later, they were still trudging through the snow. "That's it!" shouted Chibi Bakura. "I'm hitch-hiking again!" Just at that moment a truck full of Mexican's (A/N: I do NOT have anything against other races!) drove by. The chibis ran and jumped onto the back and collided with the passengers already in it.
"Wheeeee!" squealed Chibi Marik, his sugar high kicking in again. " We were running and running and running and wheeeee!" The poor Mexicans were scared half to death.
Pretty soon they had neared the street that they were supposed to turn at. The chibis waited to get off, but the truck just passed by it. Chibi Bakura was furious as he shouted- -
A bird chirped in Madagascar. A penguin squeaked in China. A moosen was shot in Canadia. (A/N: That's a really long inside joke. All you need to know is that Canadia is the same thing as Canada.) Can we hear what Chibi Bakura cursed? Nope! But the other chibis could...
Chibis Ryou and Marik stared at Chibi Bakura. The Mexicans just sat there like nothing had happened. The silence between everyone was uneasy, and finally Chibi Ryou broke it. "We could just jump off..." They stood up to do that when the Mexicans reached out, grabbed them, and pulled them back in.
"*Spanish words*," one of them said. "*Even more Spanish words*."
Another one spoke: "*Some more Spanish words*"
Chibi Marik decided to join their conversation: "*Long string of Egyptian cursing*."
"See Ryou," Chibi Bakura said to his hikari. "My word wasn't as bad as /that/."
"Shh!" said one of the Mexicans. (A/N: I'm beginning to feel bad calling them "Mexicans", but then again, I wouldn't mind if someone called me "American" or "Italian" or "Human". I just want to say again that I have nothing against other races, and that all the cursing I am doing is NOT a stereotype of any sort.) "*Long strings of Spanish cursing*."
"And I didn't say anything as bad as that either."
"Hey!" shouted Chibi Marik. "You're making me look bad! *Even more Egyptian cursing*"
"Is that even a word?" asked Chibi Bakura. "Great! Now you're making me look bad! *Long strings of Canadian cursing*."
And all the Mexicans simultaneously go: "Ooo... Canadian..."
"Isn't that where we're headed?" asked one of the Mexicans in perfect English.
"Yeah," answered another with a Southern accent.
Then the Mexicans started to sing, "Blame Canadia! Blame Canadia!" (A/N: I stole that from South Park, but I altered the words a bit) until a moosen fell on their car and made them fall off a cliff; so they all yelled "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" except for the chibis. They yelled, "Brake for moosi! It could save your life!" But it was too late for the Mexicans... That's what you get for trying to sneak into Canadia without your green card.
"Great," thought Chibi Ryou aloud. "We're stuck in the middle of Canadia with a bunch of dead Mexicans, and it's all your fault!"
Suddenly a voice echoed from all around them: "Don't get mad! Get gland! And call 1-800-555-ROAR to order your free zookeeper today!"
"You idiot!" yelled another voice. "You're not supposed to advertise cheap products! You're supposed to save the chibis' lives!"
"Or we could just sit and have buttered scones for tea," suggested a third voice. Then the hobbits that had been speaking came skipping out of the forest singing, "We're hobbits and we're okay! We sleep all night, and we eat all day!"
The chibis looked at each other and back at the hobbits simultaneously. Suddenly, the hobbits sprouted wings and changed into dragons. "Holy- -" started Chibi Bakura, but before he could finish his curse the three dragons had picked them up and were flying away. In mid-air the dragons changed into rabid monkeys.
Chibi Ryou froze and began to chant, "Purple moose will protect me from the evil rabid monkeys from hell. (A/N: I stole that from my friend's fic (MusicChick3000), but she stole the purple moose from me. ^__^) Purple moose will protect me from the evil rabid monkeys from hell." With that the rabid monkeys changed into purple moose, making Chibi Marik freak out.
"Evil Caribou Reindeer will protect me from the freaky purple moose," he began to chant.
"Don't worry," one of them said. "Besides, reindeer are nothing more than flying moose."
Within fifteen minutes the purple moose had dropped the three chibis on the Ishtar's doorstep. It took a few more minutes for the chibis to get up from the snow, and just as they had succeeded Chibi Isis burst out of the house yelling and crying. She knocked Chibi Marik back into the snow, but helped the two others into the house.
"Thanks, Isis!" Chibi Marik yelled from the snow. "Malik! Get out here and help me!" Chibi Malik just stood in the doorway and smirked at his yami. "Malik! I'll kill you!" Chibi Malik just stood there and continued grinning. He knew he probably would die, but he wanted to save a mental picture of his yami begging for help.
*Isis's POV*
I was still threatening my little brother when I heard the front door slam. I dropped Malik and ran to the door, thinking it might be Ryou and/or Bakura. When I reached it, I saw Malik's yami jump into the neighbor's car and speed away. My eyes began to see red when he almost ran into the kids down the street. I whipped around and faced my little brother. "Do you know where your crazy yami just drove off to with the neighbor's car?"
Malik's face went blank and, somehow, even whiter than it already was. I could tell he was cracking up inside, but he pretended to be scared of me. "N-n-no," he stuttered.
I began to shake with fury. I had always thought of myself as Ryou's foster mother ever since his parents had died from lack of oxygen in that septic tank or whatever it was. All I remember was that it was my brother's yami's fault. He came in smirking and dragging their corpses in a plastic bag.
I grabbed my brother by his arm and demanded to know where he went. When he still said he had no idea, I tied him upside down on the couch.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. I leaped up from the chair that I was sitting in and ran to answer the door, thinking that it might be Ryou this time. All that was there was Yugi, his yami, Joey, Tristan, and Téa. Ugh! I /hate/ Téa! All those gay little friendship speeches that she does! I wish that my brother had killed /her/ instead of Ryou's parents.
"Hey Isis!" started Yugi. I was not in the mood for his innocence today. I slammed the door in their faces.
"Who was that?" Malik called from the couch. I wasn't in the mood for him, either, even though I enjoyed it so much when he was suffering. I walked upstairs to my room at the front of the house and stared out the window. Within minutes I had fallen asleep.
I woke up to the sound of screaming. I jerked up my head and ran downstairs to see what type of trouble Malik had somehow gotten into. I found him exactly as I had left him: tied up upside down on the couch. I untied him and ran to the front door. I swung it open and saw Ryou, Bakura, and Marik coated in snow. I ran out to greet them, "accidentally" knocked Marik into the snow, and led the other two into the house.
The two chibis spent the next two nights at my house and told us what had happened. Poor guys... For once I actually pity those psycho yamis...
Mystical Knight Dragon: There's the first chappie! I'm hoping to get the next one up today. It's going to be a lot shorter than this one. I hope that it wasn't too confusing and that you liked it! As always, flames are frowned upon and reviews are welcomed with a plate of cookies that I just so happen to not have. Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah/Merry (or Happy?) Kwanzaa/Happy Holidays/Seasons' Greetings!
Mystical Knight Dragon: Merry Christmas everyone! This is a story that I thought up during an ice storm that we had. We got let out of school early, and while I was waiting for my bus to be called, I began to write this out of sheer boredom. Any /./ means that it's italicized. Most of that means that it's someone thinking. But sometimes it's not. Anyways, in this, I shafted a lot of people in my classes, so if you don't know what I'm talking about, um.ignore it? Maybe not? I dunno. Yami Bakura is Bakura, Hikari Bakura is Ryou, Yami Malik is Marik, Hikari Malik is Malik, and Yami Yugi is Yami.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or anyone in my class, except for me; but I'm not really mentioned in this. I don't own Zelda either. I do own Harp. He's my character. I made up purple moose, too. Or, at least I think I did...
Warnings: Rated PG-13 for adult content. Maybe it should be PG... There is no language since they are chibis, but there are quite a few homos. I stuck something else in there too that I don't remember all that well what it was. I don't exactly remember what I was going to say, either. Which brings me to my next point: this is Yaoi.

/December 1: Snow Storms and Bill the Chibi Molester/
It was a cold winter morning when Chibi Bakura woke up. It was the first of December: his first December away from Egypt. He was really excited, but it was just so cold!
He jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and rushed to phone to call his best friend, Chibi Malik.
"Hello!" he screeched when his friend picked up.
"Hello!" Chibi Malik shouted back. "Happy December!"
"You too!" Chibi Bakura was really excited as he ran to the door to rush off to Chibi Malik's while he was still on the phone, but when he opened his door, he got a big shock. "Uh...Malik? Is there a whole bunch of white stuff outside your house too?"
Chibi Malik got off his bed and hobbled over to his window. When he looked, he screamed in fear. Every inch of space was coated in some sort of white substance. "Bakura? What is that stuff out there?"
"I don't know..." stammered Chibi Bakura.
At that point Chibi Ryou walked down the stairs to find Chibi Bakura standing with the door wide open, staring outside. "Either go out or stay in," he reprimanded.
"Ryou!" Chibi Bakura screamed at his hikari. "What is that stuff?!"
Chibi Ryou walked over to the door and looked out. "Snow!" he shouted. "Yeah!" Then he ran back up the stairs to get some warmer clothing.
Chibi Bakura stared after him for a while then said to his friend, "I think Ryou's gone crazy. I'm going to go save him. I'll call you back later, okay?"
"Okay," said Chibi Malik reluctantly. "Be careful. Talk to you later."
With that, they hung up. Chibi Malik just sat on his couch and stared out the window, watching more of the white stuff fall. Chibi Bakura, on the other hand, dashed after his hikari to check on his sanity.
When Chibi Bakura reached Chibi Ryou's room, he found his hikari bundled tightly in winter clothes. "Ryou!" shouted Chibi Bakura. "What is eating you?!"
Chibi Ryou looked a bit confused, but then realized that he must look pretty silly all bundled up like that. "It's okay, Bakura," he told his yami. "It's cold, so I put on lots of clothes. You probably should put warmer clothes on, too."
Chibi Bakura nodded, then looked over to his hikari's bed and saw his scarf. "Ryou!" he shouted. "What is that?!"
Chibi Ryou followed his gazed, then smiled wickedly. "I don't know Bawkuwa!" Then he managed to kick the bed without his yami noticing. "Oh my gosh! It just moved!"
"It's gonna kill us!" With that comment, Chibi Ryou started laughing so hard that he fell over.
"What are you laughing at?" Chibi Bakura asked, going red with rage.
After a little bit Chibi Ryou was finally able to gasp out "scarf!" between giggles.
"Scarf," Chibi Bakura sounded out. Chibi Ryou just sat there and laughed. Chibi Bakura loved watching his hikari laugh. The darker half decided to mess around with the "scarf" to make him laugh even more.
He walked over to the bed and poked it a bit to make sure that it wasn't dangerous. Then he picked it up and wrapped it around his neck and was pretending to strangle himself when his hikari spoke up:
"Bakura? That's how you're supposed to put on a scarf..."
Chibi Bakura looked embarrassed, and he left the room to call Chibi Malik to tell him that his hikari was alright. Just as he was leaving the room, something soft whacked him in the back of the head. He screamed and ran out of the room yelling, "The scarves are after me! Help!" All the while Chibi Ryou just sat there laughing hysterically.
When Chibi Bakura reached his room, he wasn't in the mood for calling his friend. He was beginning to get strange feelings when he was around his hikari, like his heart was expanding. He remembered feeling this same way about the kawaii little puppy he had found once. But then again, he and Malik had set fire to it...
A little bit later Chibi Ryou made his way to his darker half's room with some winter clothes for him. The lighter half laughed the whole time that his yami struggled with the winter clothing. After a while Chibi Bakura began to get annoyed. "Please help me!" he said exasperatedly. Chibi Ryou gave a quick explanation about how to put on layers of clothes and then started toward the door to leave. "Ryou!" Chibi Bakura moaned at him. "I said please!"
Chibi Ryou grinned. He loved his yami, but he knew that he didn't feel the same way back. His yami probably didn't even know what love was, much less be capable of loving someone or something. "Okay, Bakura. I'll help you."
About thirty minutes later, Chibi Bakura was in so much winter clothing that he could hardly walk. Chibi Ryou, on the other hand, was used to it and ran down the hall towards the stairs. Chibi Bakura waddled after his hikari as fast as he could, which was not very fast.
"After you," the lighter half grinned, indicating the stairs.
Something about this grin freaked Chibi Bakura out, but he started down the steps anyways. He was having enough trouble as it was, but when he got to the second step from the top, he felt a light push on his back. He tottered a bit, trying to regain his balance, but in the end gravity won and he fell face-forward all the way down the steps. All the while Chibi Ryou just stood there and laughed. In the end, though, he laughed so hard that he fell down the steps, too, and landed right on top of his yami.
As luck would have it, at that exact moment the doorbell rang. Chibi Ryou jumped up as best he could and ran to answer it.
"Hello!" shouted Chibi Yugi. Chibi Yami was still far back down the street, trying to avoid any bits of snow that he came across. Chibi Ryou giggled a bit when he saw Chibi Yami. He probably had more clothes on than Chibi Bakura did, who was /still/ trying to get up.
"Hurry up Bawkuwa!" Chibi Ryou shouted at his yami.
When Chibi Bakura was still struggling five minutes later, Chibi Ryou sighed and went to help him up. Once this task was completed, Chibi Ryou ran out the door to Chibi Yugi and Chibi Yami. Chibi Bakura just stood at the door and looked out.
"Come on Bawkuwa!" shouted Chibi Yugi.
"It's my first snow, too," Chibi Yami tried to comfort him. When Chibi Bakura still wouldn't move, he tried again. "You aren't afraid are you?"
Chibi Bakura resented this. He was going to kill Chibi Yami for that! Stupid Chibi Pharaoh! Chibi Bakura took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and plunged into the snow. He was silent for a moment then managed to moan out, "COLD!!!" In synchronization, Chibis Yami, Yugi, and Ryou looked at each other and burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Chibi Bakura challenged.
Chibi Yugi was about to tell him, but Chibi Ryou caught the murderous glint in his yami's eyes and cut him off. "It's nothing." Then he changed the subject by saying, "We'wre going to go over to Joey and Tristan's to see if they want to have a snowball fight. You want to come?"
"No thanks," Chibi Bakura answered. He /hated/ Chibi Joey and Chibi Tristan. "I think I'm going to go see what Malik is up to." With that they took their separate ways, but not before Chibi Bakura had pushed Chibi Yami into the snow.
A few minutes after the chibis had departed, Chibi Bakura had lost his way in all the snow. In some places, the snow was over his head! When he realized that he was lost, he began to panic. He had never gotten lost alone before. Chibi Ryou or Chibi Malik had always been there.
After he had passed the same hobo ten times, he was really afraid. In the end, he just sat down on the sidewalk and bawled. The tears on his cheeks made him shiver and cry even harder. Soon he could hardly feel his body. When this happened, chance decided to bring some "help" by.
"What's the matter little boy?" asked a man walking by that was (how to put this nicely...) bi.
Chibi Bakura looked up. The, um, man (cough, cough) seemed friendly enough, so he answered: "My hikari told me to never talk to strangers."
The man smiled and said, "My name is Bill." Then he shook Chibi Bakura's hand. "There now. We aren't strangers anymore, are we?"
"I guess not..."
He was on the verge of telling Bill that he was lost and didn't know where the Ishtar's house was when another man walked by and whispered, "Don't trust him! Bill will hurt your hikari in unusual ways!"
Chibi Bakura's eyes went wide. He had heard of these types of people before. He jumped up, kicked Bill in the place where he shouldn't, and ran off down the street. While he was looking back over his shoulder to see if Bill was still following him, he plowed into someone.
"Watch where you're going!" a familiar voice shouted at him.
Chibi Bakura looked to see whom he had run into. When he saw, he shouted "Malik!" and helped up his friend.
"Where were you going in such a hurry?" asked Chibi Malik.
"I'm running away from the Bill molester."
Chibi Malik's eyes widened. "You actually met him?"
"Yeah... He was scary."
At that point they both began to shiver and couldn't feel their bodies. "Why don't we go back to my house?" asked Chibi Malik. "Isis might make us some hot chocolate."
When they reached the gate to the Ishtar's house, something cold and hard whacked the two chibis in the face. "COLD!!!" they both shouted in unison.
Chibi Isis waddled out of the house as fast as she could when she heard their cries. What she saw was her little brother and his friend crying from the cold, and a giant wall of ice hiding her little brother's insane yami. "Marik!" she shouted at him. "What do you think you're doing?!" Chibi Marik just stood there and grinned. Then he ran off, probably to do some other evil and idiotic deed.
Chibi Bakura stared at Chibi Isis. "Gosh she's beautiful," he thought. Then he remembered his hikari. "But not as beautiful as Ryou. Wait a minute. What am I thinking about?! That's just wrong!"
Fifteen minutes after the chibis had finished their hot chocolate in front of a fire, the doorbell rang. Chibi Isis went to answer it, and called back to her little brother that Chibi Ryou was at the door. Chibi Malik and Chibi Bakura jumped up, grabbed their jackets, and hobbled over to see the door standing wide open with no one there.
"Ryou?" Chibi Malik called out into the snow. The two chibis were very puzzled, so they wandered outside to look for the missing chibi.
When they were no more than ten feet from the safety of the house, about a million snowballs bombarded them from all sides. Chibi Bakura's first instinct was to cry, but he didn't. He needed to be brave for his hikari.
Chibi Malik, on the other hand, was furious. He called his yami through his mind link for extra backup, and then unsheathed the knife from his millennium rod. "There will be blood spilt today," he said to himself, licking his lips.
Chibi Bakura sensed his thought. He knew that he should stop his friend, but he loved death: the sight, the smell, the shrieks they made, but most of all he loved killing the victim. The little chibi looked down at the millennium ring he had around his neck. He had never really thought about it before. All he knew was that he could read peoples' minds with it. Although now was just a good of time as any to test its limits.
He reached in his pockets to see if there was an instruction manual of some sort, but all he found was his deck of cards. He loved his cards. They were his whole life. /So is my ring./ He flipped through his deck and came to his favorite card: the Man Eater Bug. He pulled it out and held it up.
His ring, card, and body began to glow. He closed his eyes against the blinding light, and when he was finally able to open them again, a giant Man Eater Bug was standing right before him! He tried to scream out in fear, but found that his voice was gone.
"Call it back! Call it back!" He heard the voice from far off. His arm was getting heavy, so he began to lower it. As it went down, the Bug began to flicker. Its cold eyes stared at him, as if daring it to finish him off, and Chibi Bakura dropped off into a faint from cold and fear.
A bit later Chibi Bakura regained consciousness. He looked around and saw that he was still in the Ishtar's yard. His body was numb with cold, and many other bodies had surrounded him. He tried to speak, but nothing came.
Then a voice that was unfamiliar to all of them could be heard. "Move out of the way, please," it said. A man with brown eyes filled with worry, gold earrings, and a turban came into Chibi Bakura's view. After checking the chibi's health, the man's eyes became filled with rage. He was about to speak again when someone else spoke up.
"What's the matter with him?" it asked. Chibi Bakura knew that voice. He had a bit of trouble placing it, but then it hit him: Bill the Chibi Molester! The chibi's eyes went wide with fear. He tried to warn the others, but his voice still wouldn't work. It seemed frozen within him. Then Bill spoke up again: "I am the boy's father."
"Alright then," said the man in the turban. "You may do what you want with him." Chibi Bakura freaked out. Where are your hikaris when you need them?!
Then Chibi Malik's voice was heard: "Why can't he just stay with me? He was supposed to spend the night anyways." Chibi Bakura sighed with relief, or at least tried to. His lungs felt frozen and it hurt to breathe.
"I don't think that's such a good idea right now," said Bill. "He seems to be in some sort of hypothermia."
Chibi Bakura felt himself being lifted. "Please don't let me go with the Bill molester!" he thought hard. "Please, no! Oh, where is Ryou?! He's going to be in so much trouble if he doesn't come to help me!"
Chibi Ryou, this whole time, had been standing behind a tree making snowballs for a snowball fight later on. Suddenly he heard a small whisper of "Please no!" echoing around his head that sounded strangely like his yami's voice. He peeked around the tree and saw a man with gold earrings and a turban, a man who was a man, yet not, and a whole bunch of chibis standing in a circle around something. The little chibi walked over to the others and tried to peek around them. When he did not succeed, he asked, "What's up guys?"
Chibi Malik spoke up. "Bawkuwa has hypiefermanal, so his daddy's going to take him home."
Chibi Ryou looked around. "I don't see my daddy," he said. "Where is he? I thought he died..."
The chibis and the man in the turban simultaneously looked from Chibi Bakura to Chibi Ryou to Bill. "What did you say?" asked the man in the turban, his eyes going cold with anger and hatred against Bill.
Chibi Ryou took one look into those eyes and quailed with fear. "I-I- I'm no-not s-s-s-uppos-s-sed t-to t-t-talk t-to s-s-trangers-s-s," he stammered out. Chibi Bakura mentally slapped himself. Oh, if only he could move right then, his hikari would be dead!
The man in the turban looked confused for a second, then nodded. "I am Shadi," he introduced. "Now, what do you mean that this man is not your father?" The minutes passed, and all you could hear was the sound of their breathing. Chibi Isis had gone in and gotten some blankets for Chibi Bakura, and now he was beginning to warm up. When Chibi Ryou still hadn't said anything for ten minutes, Chibi Bakura took a deep breath and managed to gasp out "Bill molester!"
Everyone stared down at the little chibi. He was panting very hard and his face had almost no color at all. The man called Shadi took off his jacket, revealing robes of Egyptian cotton, and wrapped it around Chibi Bakura, trying to bring some life back into him. The little chibi was very embarrassed. He was always independent, but something about the giant Man-eater Bug seemed to have taken some of his life and will to go on away. Shadi looked up at Bill, his eyes cold and dark with hatred. Bill smiled a bit, opened his mouth to say something, but them looked deep into Shadi's eyes and ran away.
"Okay, Bawkuwa," said Chibi Isis. "Come inside to warm up."
As she started to lead the chibi inside, Shadi spoke up: "I think I'm going to need to take care of him for a little while." Chibi Bakura's eyes widened and he began to shake from fear. "Just for a little while," Shadi assured him, his eyes softening a great deal. He picked up the chibi, and, despite his fear, Chibi Bakura felt relaxed. But when he started to move away from the others, the calamity was replaced by a deep sense of fear.
"Ryou," he moaned at his hikari. Chibi Ryou just stood there in shock, staring after his darker half being carried away by a man who he didn't even know. Then the man began to speak words of comfort. Chibi Bakura tuned them out. He did not want to be comforted; he just wanted to be with his hikari.
Halfway to their destination (wherever that was...) Chibi Bakura felt himself sinking: the cold, hard cement of the sidewalk getting closer and closer to his face. Shadi landed in a faint on the ground, avoiding the chibi as best he could. Chibi Bakura looked up from the spot that he had rolled off to and saw two men in spandex acrobat suits grinning down at him, and one of them was holding a very large rock.
"He will make a very good prop," said one of the men in a very feminine voice. Chibi Bakura just sat there and shook, making the men laugh. They picked him up and brought him to their van that said GAY BROS CIRCUS on the side in red and gold paint. They carefully placed the chibi in the back seat. When they turned around, the little chibi was able to see that they had their names on the backs of their shirts. One shirt said Chance, and the older man's shirt said Mark. Chance and Mark closed up the van, got in the front seat, and drove off.
Chibi Bakura found that his thoughts were drifting back to his hikari. "Ryou!" he moaned silently. Then his thoughts drifted back to Shadi. /Who is he, anyways? Why had he wanted to take me away? Is he alright? And what did Bill have to do with anything? Will I ever get to spend the night at the Ishtar's? Will I ever get to see my hikari again?/ He began to stare out the window after a while. Thousands of trees and cows began to flick by. "Ryou!" he moaned again and continued staring.
Chibi Ryou stared after his yami being taken away by Shadi. Now he would probably never see him again. He sat down and began to cry. "It's alright," comforted Chibi Isis, and she took him inside and made him some tea.
About twenty minutes later, Chibi Ryou got a short image of cows and trees. Then he heard his name being whispered all around him. He looked up and tried to place the voice. It sounded like his yami's! "Bakura!" he shouted and ran to the door. When he flung it open, he was surprised not to see his yami, but yet another man (_). But this one was selling Girl Scout cookies.
"Would you like to buy some cookies?" he asked, sounding like a little girl.
Chibi Ryou's face went blank for a second, and then he regained his composure and said, "Yeah...sure... Why not?" He turned around to call to Chibi Isis, but that's when the man grabbed him. The chibi felt himself being pulled backwards and out into the snow, wtihout a jacket. "COLD!" he moaned as he fell into some ice.
"Oh, please be quiet," said the man. "I'm here to help you!" Chibi Ryou seriously doubted this, but let himself be shoved into the man's car, trying to be brave like his yami would have been in this situation. But some things are just too much on the mind, and he broke down in tears.
Hours later, they stopped in the middle of a field. "And why are we in the middle of a field?" asked Chibi Ryou.
"Because the authoress ran out of ideas and needs to stall a bit to think of something," answered the man. "Oh, and by the way, the authoress doesn't want to call me "man" anymore, so she's forced me to tell you my name: Mr. Homo."
Chibi Ryou's eyes went wide. "Mister...Homo?" he asked. "Wait.. I thought you got arrested last month..."
Mr. Homo looked uncomfortable. "I was..." he said slowly. "But that's all in the past. Right now we need to get out of this field!"
"But de authoress still doesn't know where to send us!"
"Aw, she won't kill us... At least I don't think she will..."
"You obviously haven't read any of her fanfics..."
"She even thought about killing me!" said Harp, popping up from no where.
Mr. Homo looked confused. "And you are...?"
"Not supposed to be here." With that, Harp disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.
"That was...odd," said Mr. Homo as he drove out of the field at ninety miles an hour.
Chibi Ryou looked amused. "It's the attack of the random characters!" he shrieked. Link and Navi were about to pop up when Mr. Homo drove past a circus. "The circus! The circus!" Chibi Ryou shouted over and over. He looked up at Mr. Homo and gave him the puppy dog eyes. "Can we please go to the circus, please?"
Mr. Homo gave in. "Alright..." he said. "But just for a little bit. I'm not being a very good hostage keeper person."
"Yeah!" shouted Chibi Ryou jumping all around. He had been in a much better spirit ever since Harp came by and gave him a big bar of chocolate. Mr. Homo groaned. He just knew that he was going to regret this. Chibi Ryou looked up and saw a big sign on the side of a truck. "What does dat sign say, Mister Homo?"
Mr. Homo looked and saw the sign. "It, uh, says GAY BROS CIRCUS," he said hesitantly. He really didn't want to be teaching a little kid about homos right now...
"Yeah!" shrieked the little chibi on sugar high. "Gay bros! Gay bros!"
Mr. Homo's mind was about to collapse. Of all the hostages that he had taken, this one had to be the worst! He just wouldn't shut up! He looked around and saw another little chibi that appeared to be knocked out and being held up by two men in spandex suits. When he drove closer to inspect the men, he saw something that shocked him. "That little chibi looks exactly like you!" Chibi Ryou looked up, but the thing that Mr. Homo had been pointing to was gone.
"Can we go see de elephants now?" asked Chibi Ryou looking up at the enormous creatures that futilely struggled against the iron bars of their cages. Mr. Homo shuddered. First the kid wouldn't shut up or calm down from his sugar-high, and now he wanted to see the hideous gray beasts that did absolutely nothing except make a whole bunch of noise. Mr. Homo was about to tell him that they would absolutely not go to see the elephants, and they were going to turn around that instant when Chibi Ryou whipped out the puppy-dog eyes. Mr. Homo gulped and drove around to find a place to park.
"Elephants!" shrieked Chibi Ryou. "I get to see the elephants! And the tigers! And the penguins!"
"Hey!" shouted Mr. Homo. "You just asked about the elephants!"
"But you pass everything to get to the elephants." Mr. Homo groaned. This was going to be a long day.
When they got out of the car, the little chibi immediately shot for the animal cages behind the main tent. Mr. Homo followed at a slow trudge, regretting every step that he took. Then he thought of something: Why not just leave him here? No one would ever know! Mr. Homo looked around for the chibi, saw that he was three cages ahead, and then dashed behind the monkeys and into the tent beyond, only to come face-to-face with Mark and Chance.
Chibi Ryou was not aware of any of this, so he continued walking until he got to the elephants. "Elephants! Elephants!" he shouted at the big, gray beasts.
His cries were heard by one of the circus staff. It was another chibi molester by the name of Adam, who just happened to be Bill's boyfriend. "Isn't Slutty the Elephant beautiful?" Adam asked, coming up from behind him. Chibi Ryou was about to answer when Adam grabbed him and dragged him off to the tent that Mr. Homo had gone into. "Here he is, boss," said Adam to Mark. "He was at the elephants looking at Slutty."
Chibi Ryou looked around. He had never been in a circus tent before, much less any tent. He saw a man in leopard patterned spandex (_ ew!) hanging from the ceiling who looked oddly like Mr. Homo. There were thousands of glass figurines everywhere and some oddly shaped whips.
"That's wonderful, Adam!" grinned Mark. "He's gotten out at least ten times today! We're going to need to put a bell on him or something." Chibi Ryou was confused, but he allowed himself to be led away by the circus tamers.
Mark and Chance led the chibi past all the animals, the tents that he workers lived in, and all the rednecks' trailers that were parked in random places. At last they reached another tent that was very much like the first and went inside. There were two hallways leading off the main portion, and they went down the one to the right. There were many twists and turns and more tunnels than the chibi could count.
Finally they reached a little door that blended in with the rest of the tent. They wandered into the next room and saw another little chibi attached to a wall with chains on his arms and legs- -and he looked exactly like Chibi Ryou!
"Bakura!" Chibi Ryou shrieked at his yami.
"Ryou!" Chibi Bakura shouted back at his hikari.
Chance and mark just stood there and looked confused.
Chibi Bakura managed to free an arm from the ropes binding him. He reached into his pocket to make sure his deck was still there, and pulled out the top card: The Man-Eater Bug. He held it up and was surrounded by a soft glow of light. This time he knew the effects that he would receive and was ready for them. He was still shocked, though, when a giant Man-Eater Bug emerged from the card that he was holding. The Bug reared up and immediately killed Mark and Chance. The chibi lowered the card, stuffed it back in his pocket, and proceeded to get himself from the contraptions that bound him to the wall.
Chibi Ryou was enthralled (A/N: Ooo... Big word...). He had heard about his yami killing people 5000 years ago for fun, and he had seen him kill a few animals; but /never/ had he seen him kill a /human/ without any trace of worry! The darker half just looked so calm as he tried to undo his feet from the wall. Chibi Bakura met his hikari's eyes with a cold, hard stare, and the light let his gaze drop.
The minutes ticked by slowly, but finally Chibi Bakura had released himself from the wall. They exited the room, and, with extreme difficulty, made their way back to the main portion of the tent. After another brief stop to see Slutty the Elephant, the two chibis made their way to the main road. A pair of lavender eyes watched them leave.
When they got to the road, Chibi Ryou ventured to ask, "How are we going to get home?" Chibi Bakura grinned evilly, stuck out his fist, and made a thumbs-up motion. "You're going to hitch-hike?!" he gasped.
"Yes," said the darker half, "and so are you."
Presently a black car drove by. "Where are you headed?" asked a voice from inside.
Before Chibi Ryou could stop him, Chibi Bakura blurted, "To the Ishtar's house." Chibi Ryou mentally slapped himself. He was going to /kill/ his yami for that.
"I'm headed that way," said the voice. He unlocked the doors and added a cheerful, "Hop in!" The two chibis climbed into the back seat, took a look at the driver, and gasped.
Chibi Isis was in her room when she heard the doorbell ring. "My lazy brother better get that," she thought to herself. Moments later she heard the door slam, and a pitiful moan of "COLD!!!" Her eyes widened, and she bounded down the steps to the front door just in time to see a car drive off from her driveway. Her first instinct was to check for her brother, but why would anyone want to take /him/? (A/N: Me! Me!) So she looked around for Chibi Ryou. After twenty minutes of searching, she still couldn't find him, and was panicking beyond control. At that moment, her younger brother decided to pop up.
"Is something the matter, Isis?" he asked.
"Yes something is the matter!" she yelped. Chibi Malik was about to slink away from the rabid Chibi Isis, but she grabbed him and threw him on the ground. "Where is Ryou?!"
Chibi Malik's body went limp. He had now lost both of his best friends in the same day. "What do you mean where is he?" he asked, thinking maybe he hadn't heard correctly.
"I mean what I said!" She grabbed her brother by the arm and jerked it as hard as she could. "Now where is he?!" Chibi Malik's face went white. He had no idea where Chibi Ryou went, but why not mess with her mind a bit? He smiled a bit as he stood up, and pulled the dagger out of his millennium rod. It still had a little blood from that poor animal that got too close to him, though Chibi Isis took this the wrong way and her eyes went wide. "Y-you k-killed him?" she stammered. Chibi Malik just stood there and grinned.
Chibi Marik watched the whole scenario. He was proud of his hikari for actually sticking up for himself, but he really needed to learn when to tick off his sister and when not to. Right now was the time not to, and since his hikari wasn't doing anything about finding his friends, it was up to him. He ran out the door, stole the neighbor's keys that they had so foolishly left in the ignition, and sped off. He drove /terribly/! Not only was he too short to drive, but he had never driven anything in all the 5000 plus years that he had been alive. Those poor sheep that will never breathe again after being squashed by a crazy yami...
After a little bit, he passed a big sign that said GAY BROS CIRCUS next exit. Not being able to read anything but hieroglyphics, this didn't do him any good, but somehow he knew to turn down the road anyways.
He stopped the car behind a tree, or rather crashed the car /into/ the tree, and made his way towards the circus parking lot. He saw a very nice van with the keys in the ignition (How many idiotic people are there?) and hopped in. He revved up the engine and was about to drive off when he saw two figures out the rear-view mirror trudging through the snow towards the main road. Chibi Marik sped from the parking lot and towards the two hitch-hikes. He screeched to a halt just in front of them and asked where they were headed.
"To the Ishtar's house," said Chibi Bakura.
"I'm headed that way," Chibi Marik told them as he unlocked the doors. "Hop in!" The two chibis climbed in the back seat and gasped.
"Marik!" they screamed. The crazy psycho yami locked the doors and sped off down the road.
"Marik..." started Chibi Bakura. "You're going the wrong way..." Chibi Marik sweat dropped and wheeled the car around, but halfway it slipped on a chunk of ice and spun out of control. The chibis gritted their teeth as they crashed into a tree.
"Thanks Marik!" Chibi Ryou yelled at him. "Now how are we going to get back?!"
Chibi Bakura hopped out of the car. "I don't know about you two, but I'm gonna hitch-hike a freak that can /actually drive/!"
Chibi Marik got very offensive at this comment. "What is that supposed to mean?!" he yelled at his friend. Chibi Bakura just stood there and glared. This made Chibi Marik very uneasy, so he tackled Chibi Bakura.
"Stop it guys!" Chibi Ryou shouted at them. "You're ruining the Christmas spirit!" The two other chibis glanced up from their fight.
"Chwissmist?" said Chibi Marik. "What is that?"
Chibi Ryou sighed. He really didn't feel like going into detail at that moment, so he changed the subject. "Let's go home please. It's freezing!" Chibi Bakura walked over to the road and attempted to hitch- hike a motorcycle when he was stopped by his hikari. "No way we're doing that again! That's the reason that we /don't/ have a car right now." Chibi Ryou glared at Chibi Marik, but only got a mirrored effect.
They had not walked more than 500 feet when a car pulled up next to tem. "Need a ride?" asked a voice from inside the car.
"Please!" moaned the yamis before Chibi Ryou could stop them, for they were so cold they were numb. The three chibis stumbled into the car and saw that the driver was none other than Bill!
"Thanks a lot, Bakura," Chibi Ryou said accusingly. Chibi Bakura looked very upset at this comment, for all he had been trying to do was save his precious hikari from the cold. "Now, you got us into this mess, you and Marik, so you have to get us out of it."
Chibi Bakura and Chibi Marik simultaneously looked at each other and yelled, "Attack of the random characters!" Immediately Link and Navi popped in on a pink cloud. Link landed on Bill, and Navi.didn't...exactly land...
"Help us, O Mighty Chicken That Floats," commanded Chibi Marik. Navi sweat dropped and jerked them out of the car. Link tried to escape, but Bill had him in such a tight huggle that he couldn't even budge. When Navi and the chibis had gotten pretty far away from Bill's car, Chibi Marik burst out, "Thank you so much, O Mighty Chicken That Floats!"
Navi got very angry at this. It turned red and yelled very loudly, "I AM NOT A CHICKEN!!!"
There was a moment's pause, then Chibi Marik contradicted, "Yes you are. You just think you're not." Navi just flew away, too angry and embarrassed to say anything. "Bye Almighty Chicken That Floats!" Chibi Marik called after it as the chibis continued walking.
"You really shouldn't tick off spirits," said Chibi Bakura. "They'll come back and haunt you."
"It's not a spirit!" contradicted Chibi Marik. "It's a Norwegian Floating-Chicken Spy. It just wants us to not know its real identity."
"And how much sugar did you have this morning?" asked Chibi Ryou.
"Let's see... I had two boxen of glazed doughnuts, eleven pounds of sugar, thirty-two lollipops, fifteen chocolate cookies, a cherry coke, half a moosen, and an egg with oregano."
"Oh great," thought the other chibis. "A crazy psycho on sugar high."
An hour later, they were still trudging through the snow. "That's it!" shouted Chibi Bakura. "I'm hitch-hiking again!" Just at that moment a truck full of Mexican's (A/N: I do NOT have anything against other races!) drove by. The chibis ran and jumped onto the back and collided with the passengers already in it.
"Wheeeee!" squealed Chibi Marik, his sugar high kicking in again. " We were running and running and running and wheeeee!" The poor Mexicans were scared half to death.
Pretty soon they had neared the street that they were supposed to turn at. The chibis waited to get off, but the truck just passed by it. Chibi Bakura was furious as he shouted- -
A bird chirped in Madagascar. A penguin squeaked in China. A moosen was shot in Canadia. (A/N: That's a really long inside joke. All you need to know is that Canadia is the same thing as Canada.) Can we hear what Chibi Bakura cursed? Nope! But the other chibis could...
Chibis Ryou and Marik stared at Chibi Bakura. The Mexicans just sat there like nothing had happened. The silence between everyone was uneasy, and finally Chibi Ryou broke it. "We could just jump off..." They stood up to do that when the Mexicans reached out, grabbed them, and pulled them back in.
"*Spanish words*," one of them said. "*Even more Spanish words*."
Another one spoke: "*Some more Spanish words*"
Chibi Marik decided to join their conversation: "*Long string of Egyptian cursing*."
"See Ryou," Chibi Bakura said to his hikari. "My word wasn't as bad as /that/."
"Shh!" said one of the Mexicans. (A/N: I'm beginning to feel bad calling them "Mexicans", but then again, I wouldn't mind if someone called me "American" or "Italian" or "Human". I just want to say again that I have nothing against other races, and that all the cursing I am doing is NOT a stereotype of any sort.) "*Long strings of Spanish cursing*."
"And I didn't say anything as bad as that either."
"Hey!" shouted Chibi Marik. "You're making me look bad! *Even more Egyptian cursing*"
"Is that even a word?" asked Chibi Bakura. "Great! Now you're making me look bad! *Long strings of Canadian cursing*."
And all the Mexicans simultaneously go: "Ooo... Canadian..."
"Isn't that where we're headed?" asked one of the Mexicans in perfect English.
"Yeah," answered another with a Southern accent.
Then the Mexicans started to sing, "Blame Canadia! Blame Canadia!" (A/N: I stole that from South Park, but I altered the words a bit) until a moosen fell on their car and made them fall off a cliff; so they all yelled "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" except for the chibis. They yelled, "Brake for moosi! It could save your life!" But it was too late for the Mexicans... That's what you get for trying to sneak into Canadia without your green card.
"Great," thought Chibi Ryou aloud. "We're stuck in the middle of Canadia with a bunch of dead Mexicans, and it's all your fault!"
Suddenly a voice echoed from all around them: "Don't get mad! Get gland! And call 1-800-555-ROAR to order your free zookeeper today!"
"You idiot!" yelled another voice. "You're not supposed to advertise cheap products! You're supposed to save the chibis' lives!"
"Or we could just sit and have buttered scones for tea," suggested a third voice. Then the hobbits that had been speaking came skipping out of the forest singing, "We're hobbits and we're okay! We sleep all night, and we eat all day!"
The chibis looked at each other and back at the hobbits simultaneously. Suddenly, the hobbits sprouted wings and changed into dragons. "Holy- -" started Chibi Bakura, but before he could finish his curse the three dragons had picked them up and were flying away. In mid-air the dragons changed into rabid monkeys.
Chibi Ryou froze and began to chant, "Purple moose will protect me from the evil rabid monkeys from hell. (A/N: I stole that from my friend's fic (MusicChick3000), but she stole the purple moose from me. ^__^) Purple moose will protect me from the evil rabid monkeys from hell." With that the rabid monkeys changed into purple moose, making Chibi Marik freak out.
"Evil Caribou Reindeer will protect me from the freaky purple moose," he began to chant.
"Don't worry," one of them said. "Besides, reindeer are nothing more than flying moose."
Within fifteen minutes the purple moose had dropped the three chibis on the Ishtar's doorstep. It took a few more minutes for the chibis to get up from the snow, and just as they had succeeded Chibi Isis burst out of the house yelling and crying. She knocked Chibi Marik back into the snow, but helped the two others into the house.
"Thanks, Isis!" Chibi Marik yelled from the snow. "Malik! Get out here and help me!" Chibi Malik just stood in the doorway and smirked at his yami. "Malik! I'll kill you!" Chibi Malik just stood there and continued grinning. He knew he probably would die, but he wanted to save a mental picture of his yami begging for help.
*Isis's POV*
I was still threatening my little brother when I heard the front door slam. I dropped Malik and ran to the door, thinking it might be Ryou and/or Bakura. When I reached it, I saw Malik's yami jump into the neighbor's car and speed away. My eyes began to see red when he almost ran into the kids down the street. I whipped around and faced my little brother. "Do you know where your crazy yami just drove off to with the neighbor's car?"
Malik's face went blank and, somehow, even whiter than it already was. I could tell he was cracking up inside, but he pretended to be scared of me. "N-n-no," he stuttered.
I began to shake with fury. I had always thought of myself as Ryou's foster mother ever since his parents had died from lack of oxygen in that septic tank or whatever it was. All I remember was that it was my brother's yami's fault. He came in smirking and dragging their corpses in a plastic bag.
I grabbed my brother by his arm and demanded to know where he went. When he still said he had no idea, I tied him upside down on the couch.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. I leaped up from the chair that I was sitting in and ran to answer the door, thinking that it might be Ryou this time. All that was there was Yugi, his yami, Joey, Tristan, and Téa. Ugh! I /hate/ Téa! All those gay little friendship speeches that she does! I wish that my brother had killed /her/ instead of Ryou's parents.
"Hey Isis!" started Yugi. I was not in the mood for his innocence today. I slammed the door in their faces.
"Who was that?" Malik called from the couch. I wasn't in the mood for him, either, even though I enjoyed it so much when he was suffering. I walked upstairs to my room at the front of the house and stared out the window. Within minutes I had fallen asleep.
I woke up to the sound of screaming. I jerked up my head and ran downstairs to see what type of trouble Malik had somehow gotten into. I found him exactly as I had left him: tied up upside down on the couch. I untied him and ran to the front door. I swung it open and saw Ryou, Bakura, and Marik coated in snow. I ran out to greet them, "accidentally" knocked Marik into the snow, and led the other two into the house.
The two chibis spent the next two nights at my house and told us what had happened. Poor guys... For once I actually pity those psycho yamis...
Mystical Knight Dragon: There's the first chappie! I'm hoping to get the next one up today. It's going to be a lot shorter than this one. I hope that it wasn't too confusing and that you liked it! As always, flames are frowned upon and reviews are welcomed with a plate of cookies that I just so happen to not have. Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah/Merry (or Happy?)
