Yami Bakura: *still being strangled by Gollum* Help! *gasp* *wheeze* please. s-somebody..

Aragorn: Aha! I've found you now, you filthy vile creature!

Yami Bakura: *staring at Aragorn's sword* Now, hold on a sec! I'm not filthy! Vile, maybe, but not filthy! All right, I once at raw steak but - FORGIVE ME, YOUR HONOR! I MEANT NO HARM! I ONLY WANTED WORLD DOMINION! IT'S YAMI MALIK!!! HE'S THE ONE WHO WANTS GLOBAL DESTRUCTION! TAKE HIM, NOT ME! I'M ONLY A NOT-SO-INNOCENT BYSTANDER!!!

Aragorn: *blink* *blink* I was talking to the creature attempting to suffocate you.

Yami Bakura: Oh.. Here. *takes Gollum off his shoulders*

Gollum: HISSSSSSS! PRECIOUSSSSSS! PRECIOUSSSSSS!

Aragorn: *with Gollum slung over his arm* Save it for the jury. Hey you, white-haired kid!

Yami Bakura: *sweatdrop*

Aragorn: What's this about "world dominion"?

Yami Bakura: *hurriedly* Well, enough chit-chat! Here's the second installment!

July 7, Monday, 8:23 A.M. - The kitchen

I'm writing this over a bowl of Fruit Loops cereal. Well, I didn't make it through the movie last night. Ten minutes after I last wrote I fell asleep. Grandpa and Shizuka had already gone to bed, Jono and Honda were found sleeping on the floor this morning, and Bakura, Miho, and Anzu went to bed themselves after I fell asleep. I guess Jono was still awake then because they didn't turn off the movie, but according to Jono he fell asleep five minutes after they left.

So if everyone was asleep, how did the movie get turned off, not to mention the lights, and how the heck did I end up in bed?

There's a simple answer: Yami.

He admits to turning everything off after the movie was over (he was the only one who stayed up long enough to finish watching it) and then taking me to bed. I think this was very sweet of him.

Not a problem, my light.

Hey there, Yami. I guess writing works just as well as mental links, huh?

Yes, it lasts longer.

I was being sarcastic.

Oh. Are you mad at me?

Me? Mad at you? Of course not! What makes you think that?

You seem tense and hesitant to talk to me.

Speak for yourself. You're not all that sociable either.

It's different with me. You're usually Mr. Hyper. What's on your mind today, Yuugi?

NOTHING!

Pardon me! I was just trying to help!

I'm sorry, Yami. I've got a lot on my mind but I'm not ready to talk yet. Could you please not listen to my thoughts right now? I

You what?

Nothing. Please, Yami?

No answer. I suppose that means the pharaoh has left the building.

Or, at least, my mind.

And it wasn't a lie. I do have a lot on my mind. It's mostly Anzu. I wish I knew what Bakura meant when he told me to show her love since I don't want to tell her. And what if she rejects me? What if she thinks I'm a loathesome, slimy worm? What if she hates me? I don't think I can take that kind of humiliation!

My life is a disaster. I'm fifteen and I'm the size of a sixth grader, I can't get the girl I like, and my yami thinks I'm mad at him. It can't get any worse!

It just got worse. Jono succeeded in dropping Anzu's underwear out the window.

Sigh.

\\PPPPPPP// - A drawing of Anzu picking my yami instead of me. I've gotta stop feeling so jealous.

Kit: *yawn* *stretch* Ahh! That was a great nap! *looks around* Hi Yami Bakura! Wassup?

Yami Bakura: Picture.

Kit: Eh?

Yami Bakura: PIC-TURE!

Kit: Wha - OH! Hey there, folks! T'day's pic is of Tea in a circle with Yugi written on one side and Oh! written on the other. Two keychains are dangling from the circle - one of Yugi, and one of Yami. Tea is trying to decide which one she likes better, and in this pic she chooses Yami. YAY!!! Although I'd be happy either way.

Joey: Freaky fish guy has something to say.

Ryouta Kajiki/Mako: I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!!!
