CHAPTER TWO: BAKURA ENCOUNTERS SUGAR (SUGAR WINS)

~A/N: I might start referring to Yami Yugi as just "Yami". Yami Bakura will be Bakura and Ryou Bakura will be Ryou.~

Yugi, Tristan, Joey, Téa and Mokuba were dancing around in circles when suddenly their eyes glazed over. They fell to the floor with several resounding thumps.

"I wonder what they were doing," Bakura mused, picking up one of the few uneaten packs of sugar pellets.

"I wouldn't," Yami warned.

But it was too late. Bakura was starting to eat .

"I'll drive," Ryou offered hopefully, looking toward the middle seat of the car (which was bouncing up and down).

"No way," Yami said firmly. "I've seen what you call driving. You can ride in the back with the unconscious ones, and Seto will ride in the middle."

Seto looked into the middle seat. Bakura had been tied up with a number of Yugi's buckles from his blue suit, since he was unconscious from sugar overload anyway. Bakura, however, was unfortunately not unconscious. He was struggling wildly against the buckles (as well as the two seat belts) and shrieking things like, "All flies must die!" (while speaking to a boot) and "Kill the traitor!" (while pointing at a clothespin).

"Absolutely not," Seto refused.

Yami motioned to the watching Dark Magician. The Dark Magician threw a cursing Seto in the seat with Bakura, who promptly went for Kaiba's throat. Seto scrambled away and crouched in a corner. A relieved Ryou got into the back with the immobile Tristan, Joey, Téa, Mokuba and Yugi.

"Dark Magician," Yami added as he got into the driver's seat, "I'd invite you along, but we don't really have room."

The Dark Magician nodded. "I won't say 'have fun', but . try to keep him intact, more or less," he said, pointing toward the maniacal Bakura.

The dashboard blinked the time: 11:29 PM.

Taking a deep breath, Yami headed for the hospital.

The nurse looked oddly at the raging Bakura, who was ensconced in five straitjackets. "Reason of . problem?"

"Sugar," Yami Yugi mumbled.

"And the others?" The nurse asked, pointing to the unconscious Trick- or-Treaters.

"Sugar overload," Seto said, coming up from behind Yami. "Hey, can you put me down too? I think he broke my arm."

Yami raised his eyebrows. "How?"

"He stabbed me with Mokuba's hair," Seto sulked.

"Ah, yes," Yami said. "I sympathize. He did that to me recently." Yami showed several scars on his arm.

The nurse finished filling out the forms, then stopped. "um, I have one more question," she added shyly to Yami.

"Yes?" Yami asked absently.

"What kind of dye to you use on your hair?"

Yami slowly looked at the nurse. His purple eyes were glittering and he appeared to be hyperventilating slightly.

"Let me deal with this," Seto muttered in the Yami's ear, shoving him aside.

"Gladly," Yami Yugi said from between clenched teeth.

Seto turned toward the nurse. "It's natural coloring, you see," he said, with a grin rather like a predator about to kill.

The nurse watched the enraged Yami and the amused Seto leave the room.

"Was it something I said?" she wondered aloud.
