Chapter seven

[Bakura to Ryou and back]

{Yugi to Yami and back}

// Ishtar to Malik//

\\ Malik to Ishtar\\ 

Yugi and co. stayed at kaiba's mansion for the rest of the raining season. After it had stopped, Malik wanted to go back.

"Well why can't we?"

"I like it here!"

"Aww come on Yugi! Kaiba's not gonna let us stay here!" Kaiba poked his head through the door.

"Yes I will. It's fun beating him at duel monsters."

"He beat you?!" Yami asked.

"Well… yeah… YOU weren't helping me!" Yami sighed sadly and went back to watching TV. "Malik! Can't we just stay? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease?"

"We're going." Ryou called from the lounge.

"You are?"

"Yeah Yugi. 'Course we are."

"Why though?"

"Because we don't get any privacy here," Ishtar said, "I don't care, but Ryou doesn't like it when someone's watching us through a camera."

"I'll pay for you two to go." Kaiba said. "Here's a million quid. Get lost."

"WOW!" Ryou yelled. He ran from the room shouting about money for life. Ishtar pursued him, shouting about sex.

"Typical." Malik sighed.

"I wonder where Bakura went." Yugi said suddenly.

"It took you this long to ask?" Kaiba said, "He went back to Hawaii. He said he didn't mind being stuck in the house, as long as he didn't have to watch everyone playing lovey-dovey anymore."

"Mmm." Yugi said vaguely. "Ok. I'll go back to Hawaii."

"What changed your mind?"

"Well duh. I wanna annoy Bakura!"

At a later time:

Everyone was packing, and they were nearly ready to go. Ishtar tried to nick kaiba's TV, but he carried it out in a bag that said ' I'm stealing a TV' on it, so he didn't get very far.

A few hours later, everyone was packed and ready. Yugi and Malik wanted to take the plane, 'cause they wanted to (ahem, you know) in the plane toilets. When Ishtar heard, he wanted to go on the plane too. Yami didn't care, so he took the helicopter.

The station again!

Yugi got onto the plane with no hassle. So did Malik, and even Ishtar. But when Ryou went through the metal detector thingy, it bleeped like hell.  A girl came up and started searching him (More like feeling him up!)

"HEY!" Ishtar screamed. He ran back down and slapped her in the face. Ryou sighed and walked on embarrassedly.

The trip back was a nightmare… well for the people on the plane anyway. Yugi and Malik were the first people on the plane, so went into the toilet first. Malik told Ishtar through his mental link when they were done, and Ishtar jumped the queue for the bog. They kept at this for the entire trip, and by the time they landed in Hawaii, a long line of people sped off the plane to the public toilets.

They reached their old house five or six minutes later. It was spotless and completely dry. Yugi saw Bakura silhouetted in the widow next door.

"I'm goin' ta see Bakura." He told Malik.

"Oh great. I get the joy of unpacking everything." Yugi grinned and ran up to Bakura's door and knocked loudly. Bakura opened the door with a shotgun in his hands. Yugi gasped.

"Oh sorry. I thought it was charity workers." Bakura said. "So, back then?"

"Yup! How's it been?"

"OK I guess. There's a dead dog in your house by the way." at that moment, a small scream was heard from inside the house, and Ryou came out and threw up for England. He finished and ran up to Yugi.

"There's a dead dog in there!" he squeaked. Ishtar came out with it and hurled it at them. It landed at Ryou's feet, and he fainted.

"Oh dear." Ishtar muttered. He picked Ryou up and carried him inside. Yugi sighed and turned to go.

"Buh bye Bakura."

"Wait! Um, when's your next drinking night? I wanna go."

"Um, I'll organise one."  

Three nights later, everyone, including Yami, were in the club, drinking. As usual, Ryou blacked out after the first drink, Ishtar shortly after, followed by Malik, who, for some reason, wasn't very good at drinking anymore. In the end, it was only Yugi, Yami and Bakura. They were all on gin. Yami passed out after the fourth one, and Bakura was swaying slightly, but looking determined.

"Yugi… I jst have ooone quston…"

"Yup."

"Dooo everyone ende up sleeeeeeeping wth someone?" Yugi shrugged and downed another glass of gin, and he began swaying too.

Yugi and Bakura went on for three more rounds, and they both passed out at the same time.

Next morning.

Yugi woke up with a jolt. He had been dreaming of falling from a great huge building. He screwed up his eyes. Ok… here goes… he opened them, and was relieved to see Malik on top of him.

"Thank god." He whispered. As quiet as he was, he still managed to wake Malik up. He staggered up and looked at Yugi with a mixture of love, and an obvious hang over.

"I WANNA SEE THE WORLD!" he yelled, and then passed out again. Yugi sighed and shook his head, smiling. Hmmm, travel the world…

Ryou woke up and panicked. This was new to him… the whole 'waking up in an alley, naked' thing. He saw Ishtar sleeping peacefully on top of him. Ryou smiled and settled back down.

"Gin is a drink." Ishtar muttered. Ryou smiled.

Yami woke up with a banging headache. He was surprised when he felt like someone was on top of him. He opened his eyes and waited for the fogginess of his vision to clear.

"OH SHIT AND FUCKING HELL!" he screeched. Bakura woke up with a jolt. He stared wide-eyed at Yami, then noticed they both didn't have clothes on.

"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" he yelled, flying off Yami, getting his clothes, and dressing while running away. Yami just laid there, horror struck. "That's the last time I let Yugi drag me to one of those things…"

Three hours later:

Yugi, Malik, Ryou and Ishtar were all back at their house.

Bakura came running in. he slammed the door behind him and stood there, gasping for air.

"Hi Bakura!" Ishtar said brightly, "You went to the wrong house. Yours is the next one."

"I know which house is mine you idiot!" he snapped.

"Why are you here then?" Yugi asked.

"Well… I think I slept with Yami." *silence* Yugi started laughing, followed by Ishtar, then Malik. Yugi rolled off the sofa and banged his head, but still kept laughing. Malik attempted to stop by burying his face in a pillow, to no effect, and Ishtar was just laughing his head off.

Bakura went bright red. Ryou just sat there, feeling awkward. He punched Ishtar in the stomach.

"Ow, bitch!" everyone stopped laughing.

"Will you all stop laughing? You're all heartless bastards!" Ryou said, and then sat there looking embarrassed.

"Sorry." Yugi muttered. "Um, why?" he asked Bakura.

"I dunno. It's like you and Malik. You had sex, and it meant nothing."

"Um, Bakura? Encase you haven't noticed, we're going out with each other because we had sex." Malik said.

"Oh."

At that point, Yami came bursting through the door.

"I am scum!" he announced, before breaking down into hysterical sobs. Yugi got up, trying hard not to laugh still, and put an arm round Yami.

"There there. It's ok, once you know it, the healing begins."

"That doesn't help!" Yami snapped through sobs.

"Look, we all ended up sleeping with someone… it's not your fault all the good ones were spoken for."

"HEY" Bakura snapped. Yugi sighed.

{Look, Yami, it's not your fault. You were drunk. Hey, um… do you remember anything?}

{No! nothing. I was totally out of it! As far as my memory is concerned, all I did last night, was dream about eating doughnuts and getting trapped in maze!}

{Really? I dreamt about falling off a building.}

{Yugi, I don't care.}

{Oh, ok then, um… I think it's all Bakura's fault, How's that?}

Yami looked up at Yugi and hugged him.

"Thank you so much for your support."

"Did I miss something?" Malik asked.

"They must have been talking through their mental link." Ryou said.

// I want sex//

\\ Why are you telling me? \\

// 'Cause I don't have a mental link with Ryou. //

\\ Well get one then! \\ 

"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SPEAK TO ME!?" Bakura screamed. Yami jumped. He then did something he hadn't done for years; he disappeared into the millennium puzzle.

{Go somewhere away from every one Yugi.}

{Why?}

{Please?} Yugi sighed and left the room. Malik got up to go after him, but Ryou pulled him back.

"Sit down and shut it!" he said. Bakura looked hopelessly around and finally decided to follow suit and disappeared into the ring. Ishtar looked puzzled.

"Do I have to do that now?"

{Yami, hiding isn't going to prove anything.}

{…}

{And if you stay in there, you'll never have a life.}

{…}

{Yami?}

{…}

{WHAT'RE YOU DOING IN THERE?"}

{Looking round.}

{For what?}

{A rope.}

{Yami GET OUT HERE NOW!} Yami appeared beside Yugi.

" What am I gonna do?"

"Hey I've got an idea!"

"Ryou?" Yugi appeared at the door.

"Yeah?"

"Can you fuck off somewhere and take Ishtar with you?" Ryou looked quite upset. He sighed sadly and got up to leave.

"Don't worry. I'll make it all better." Ishtar said. Ryou perked up slightly and smiled, slamming the front door shut behind him.

Yugi walked out, followed by Yami.

"Hello again!" Malik said happily to Yami.

"Malik, you know what you said this morning, about travelling the world…"

Three hours later:

"Do you think we've been gone long enough yet?" Ishtar asked.

"Maybe. Lets go back and see.

They returned to the house within five minutes. Ryou opened the door slowly and went in. the house was empty.

"Yugi? Malik? Hello?" Ryou searched round, before seeing a note stuck to the fridge.

To Ryou,

              We've gone to get away from Bakura. We're off to explore the world!

We leave the house in your hands, and if Ishtar blows it up, you're paying for it.

Hope you have a nice time by yourself.

We'll see you when Yami feels better. Don't worry, we'll send postcards!

                                                                           Luv,

                                                                                 Yugi and Malik
