Kit: To my friend Garsna - you're write, Ode to Fruit Loops stinks, but it was supposed to. My sisters say that when I try, my poetry is quite good, but not really. I'm a hyperactive person, and I write hyperactive things, and hyperactiveness and poetry don't go well together, do they, now? But thanks for the review!

Yami: I still don't see why you hafta make me so pathetic.

Kit: You're as cute as Yugi when you're pathetic!

Yami: ...

Yami Bakura: Why do we have to be the bad guys?

Yami Malik: Yeah, why us?

Kit: Well, it just makes sense. And it's all part of my master plan!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Tea: If torturing people is your idea of fun, I am out of here. ::stars to edge off::

Kit: Get back here!!!

July 10, Friday, 6:13 A.M. - My Soulroom

Today it isn't me who has locked himself in the bathroom. This time it's Yami.

Well, okay, he didn't lock himself in the bathroom. He's in his soul room and he won't come out. He won't tell me what happened to make him so mad, either. He won't even talk to me, and I've been trying for a whole day now! One minute he was perfectly fine. Isis is allowing all the yamis to be separated from their hikaris for this vacation so we can enjoy ourselves in our different ways. I mean, Yami and I might not mind doing the same things, but I know Bakura and Malik don't like playing "Kill-the-Yami Tiddlywinks." So everything was going great, you know. Yesterday morning, when Jonouchi and I wrote that horrible poem, started out like Wednesday. Yami was begging me for Fruit Loops but I wouldn't let him have any (he gets so hyper when he has sugar and totally loses his pharaoh-like behavior; I only let him have sugar when he's being too boring). He was on his knees and pulling this whole Romeo gig, mostly to make me laugh, but he really did want the Fruit Loops.

So he was doing this, and I was starting to laugh so hard that the Fruit Loops spilled over the bowl and onto the floor where he was (which is what he wanted, by the way), and Jonouchi was listening to Miho decide whether or not she should become a vegetarian and support animal rights and then crashing her ideas by telling her she'd have to give up make-up and other fancy chemicals that harm the environment if she wanted to be serious about this thing, and Anzu and Isis were arguing over whether or not the use of tobacco in the lives of youth is one of teenage idiosyncrasies or a plead for attention, and Shizuka was listening and occasionally asking them why they were talking about it since none of us are on drugs, to which Anzu replied that only be trying to fathom the corrupted human mind could they benefit mankind by putting a stop to illegal use of marijuana and things.

That was a loooooooooooooong sentence.

Anyway, at that moment Bakura, Honda, Malik, Yami Malik, and Yami Bakura came in the kitchen. Bakura, Honda, and Malik were arguing over whether Bakura should make everyone pancakes or omelettes (he's a really good cook, his fettuccine alfredo is to die for), and Bakura was just saying he should make what he felt like since he was the one cooking it when Yami Bakura noticed Yami on the floor, begging me for Fruit Loops. He gave this laugh that was more like a virulent snort and said, "Oh my, my dear Almighty Pharaoh, can you not convince your hikari to give you something to eat? Must you humiliate yourself by eating the crumbs off the floor like the fellahin?"

That last word was in Egyptian, of course. I have no idea what it means.

Oh, this happened on Thursday, after Jonouchi and I showed everyone our poems. (Which the girls thought was hilarious, Malik and the yamis thought was dumb, Grandpa thought was insane, and Bakura just giggled and rolled his eyes.) Today's Friday, and Yami's still moping.

Anyway, Yami tried to stand up and banged his head on the table. Yami Bakura and Yami Malik laughed like crazy and I thought I saw Yami turn red for a minute. Only for a minute though, he was on his feet and glaring all princely at them two seconds later.

"For your information, Most Impertinent One, my actions are merely my expression of fun. At least it's better than yours, you who must play Tiddlywinks at midnight to bemuse yourself."

Well, that really got on Yami Bakura's nerves.

"Get a life, Pharaoh," he said threateningly. Then he started jabbering on in Egyptian, and everyone but Yami, Yami Bakura, Yami Malik, and I think Isis had no idea what they were saying. I say Isis knew because the language of the ancient Egyptians is an extinct language now, but Isis's Sennen Tawk gives her a lot of special powers, and from the way she was wincing I think she understood. Malik might have recognized a few words too, since he has studied hieroglyphics and even has a prophecy in hieroglyphics branded on his back (we noticed that at the beach on Wednesday when he was changing - that was why he wore a T-shirt along with his swim trunks, he's kinda embarrassed by it). But that doesn't matter because I have no idea what Yami Bakura was saying because none of the people who could understand it would tell me.

Then Yami yelled back in Egyptian and Yami Malik joined in the fight. The rest of us just watched as they yelled things at each other, all the while Jonouchi was trying to keep Honda away from his Cocoa Puffs.

Finally, while Yami was talking, Malik interrupted him harshly and said something that made everyone wince, even Yami Bakura. Yami Bakura winced because it was really mean, even for them, and Yami Malik actually looked surprised that he said it. The rest of us winced even though we didn't know what it meant because of his tone of voice when he said it.

And you know what? Yesterday was the first day I ever saw Yami cry.

He totally did too. The argument had been going on for a good fifteen minutes and he only seemed to be getting more enraged, but after Yami Malik said whatever it was he said, his face got all hurt and tears rimmed his eyes. He started speaking very low in Egyptian. It was enough to make anyone cry, coro sr mana ll a-pur jurhun ill nach kai`ran khered naa Yami. (a/n: That is not really Egyptian except for the word khered which means child - sorry, I had to make it up.)

That's what Isis said, all in Egyptian, so I'm sure she can speak it. She was scolding Yami Malik, I think. I don't know what it means, but neither Yami Malik nor Yami Bakura had anything to say to that. Yami did, though. He turned to Isis and finally began speaking in Japanese again.

"Just let it alone, Isis," he said. He actually looked kind of pathetic with tears sliding down his cheeks. "It's about time they told me what they really think of me. Let's hope our paths just don't cross again, they obviously hate me and I don't need to deal with this kind of persecution."

"We don't hate you -" Yami Bakura began, but was silenced by Yami Malik.

"You and your martyr-complex!" exclaimed Yami Malik. "Why don't you curl up some place and die? You'd sure be doing us all a favor if you did!"

"Right back at you!" Yami yelled. "You two need a reality check! You can't blame ME for all your problems, it isn't like there was anything I could do about them! Yes, I was pharaoh. Yes, I had power. And YES, I HAVE A LIFE OF MY OWN TO WORRY ABOUT! I tried to help as much as I could, but I had to deal with people like Set and such trying to take over the world! How can you expect me to do so many things?!"

"You only care about winning duels!" shouted Yami Malik.

"You only care about your aibou and your close friends, no one else matters to you!" Yami Bakura accused.

"AND YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELVES!" Yami roared. "I would rather die a THOUSAND times than listen to ONE MORE STUPID WORD from a couple of idiots like YOU TWO!"

And then there was this long pause. Man, I'm getting depressed just writing this. I was feeling totally down and wanted to help, so I got up and put a hand on Yami's shoulder.

"Give it a rest, Yami," I said softly. "It's okay. Whatever they said, it isn't true."

I guess I didn't try hard enough though. Yami still looked like he'd been hit by a car when he returned to the Sennen Puzzle.

There was a long period of silence after that. It was unnerving. Yami Bakura looked practically ashamed of himself, if you can believe that's possible. Yami Malik looked indifferent, but his eyes gave away what he was really feeling, which was definitely NOT indifference. After a few minutes of this Bakura stood up and walked over to the stove, quietly saying he was going to make everyone pancakes even though not many people were hungry anymore (save Jonouchi and Honda - I think the way they deal with depression is by eating). Then Yami Bakura turned and stomped out of the apartment, saying he was going for a walk. Yami Malik rushed after him, and we heard them conversing loudly outside in angry voices. Actually only Yami Bakura's sounded angry - Yami Malik sounded like he was pleading with Yami Bakura or something.

Personalites are going haywire! Yami is crying, Yami Bakura is ashamed, and Yami Malik is on the verge of breaking down because even he can't believe he did what he did!

And here I thought I had problems.

So forget Anzu and her love life. Forget Jonouchi and his need to feed. Forget Miho and her worry over whether or not she should become a vegetarian. All that matters right now is my yami, because I love him more than anyone.

Why do bad things happen to nice people?

He still won't talk to me.

Yami should get a diary. I'm totally thankful to Grandpa for this thing. Yami could use a diary to write down his emotions. There must be a lot of them. Well, now I have a Christmas present suggestion.

Omigosh. I just got a killer idea.

Hee hee hee... I am evil! Well, not really, but I am smart! Seto Kaiba, you've met your match!

I'm going to have to leave you for a little bit, Diary, but I promise it's for a worthwhile cause.

And no, Grandpa, I am not the one who washed the darks with the whites.

That would be Jonouchi.

\\PPPPPPP// - This is a picture Jomouchi took of Anzu and me when we rushed outside to catch up with Yami Malik and Yami Bakura. Man, he loves that camera.

Kit: Mwahaha, what is Yugi's idea? You'll have to review if you want to find out, because I won't write any more if I don't get reviews!!!!

Kit: ... Empty threat. Oh well. BUT I KNOW YOU ALL WANT MORE! YES, YOU DOOOOOOOOO! YOU ALL WANT MOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!! IT IS WHAT YOU DESIRE MOST ABOVE ALL THIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!!!! AND I ALONE CAN SATISFY YOUR NEEDS!!!!!!!
