CHAPTER TEN: BAKURA AND THE CHIHUAHUA
There was a knock on the door. Seto and Yami were at work. Bakura, being unemployed, was the only one home. Seto was working with computers and Yami designed electronic games. Ryou, being the youngest, went to high school.
Bakura opened the door to be facing a very upset old lady. "Hello, dear, I live next door," she said. "Have you seen my dear brown Chihuahua dog, Fluffy? I simply can't find him."
The lady broke down into tears. Bakura, naturally unsure what to do, said "Um, no, we haven't . maybe look at the dog pound."
When the lady left, Bakura closed the door, muttering curses and reaching for the phone. When Yami picked up the phone at work, all he heard was a string of vile curses in an all-too-familiar voice.
"Bakura?" Yami said incredulously.
"Yeah, it's me. Some old lady came over here looking for her Chihuahua."
"So?"
"I think Foo-Foo ate it."
"Oops. Well, go buy a new one." Yami was understandably preoccupied. Actually he was answering mail - namely complaints from fangirls that the new Lord of the Rings Playstation game didn't make Legolas sexy enough. The company he worked at, you see, had produced the game and his manager had given Yami the singularly unpleasant task of answering complaints.
"Um, are you saying that I should go to a dog store, buy a new brown rat for that pathetic lady and give it to her?"
"Approximately, yes."
"You're nuts!"
"I know. Speaking of nuts, we're out of almonds. Could you pick up some on your way to the dog store?" Yami tapped his pen against his computer impatiently.
Bakura rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine . I don't have a car you know."
"Well go buy one."
"I don't have any money you ******* Pharaoh!"
Yami shrugged. "Oh, well, my car's here anyway, so you can't use it. Why not walk? It's only like a mile."
"I can't believe I'm doing this," Bakura said by way of farewell and hung up.
Yami sighed and returned to the problem at hand: explaining to a vehement fangirl why the company had to always show Legolas fully clothed.

Bakura was walking into town, in an especially bad mood. There were several reasons. The primary one was that he was spending his nice day going to buy a brown rat. Attempting to get the Blue-Eyes to fly him, he had only had his hand burned. When he went looking for the Dark Magician to help him, Bakura mistook him for a wall and then stubbed his foot on the Dark Magician as he walked past. Bakura had several broken toes. Finally, when getting dressed, he had entangled himself in one of his spider webs by mistake and had fallen into the dresser, causing the jar of Mokuba's spikes to fall and break open. The spikes had stabbed Bakura in numerous places too painful to mention.
Bakura had snitched several hundred dollars from Seto's room to pay for the dog. Stopping for the almonds, he was confronted with a dilemma: Should he buy raw, imported, home-grown or halved almonds? He finally bought all four kinds and went onto the pet store, carrying a very heavy bag filled with almonds. The pet store, it turned out, did indeed sell brown Chihuahuas. This made Bakura slightly happier - at last, something was going right. Unfortunately, the only male brown Chihuahua they had was having anger problems. It was chewing at the bars of its cage. Its water bowl lay on the cage floor in pieces and its mouth was dripping foam. Ooh, that doesn't look good, Bakura thought with a frown as he stopped in front of the Chihuahua. Oh well, it'll have to do.
When he bought the Chihuahua, the store owner was so glad to be rid of it that he sold it for ten dollars and also threw in a 100 pack of calming pills. "Give him one a week," the store owner advised, "and he won't be so bad."
"That's a relief," Bakura muttered, pocketing his extra five hundred dollars and leaving the store, almonds in one hand and Chihuahua in the other. The Chihuahua did calm down, apparently realizing that it was definitely outclassed in the evil fit front by Bakura. After the walk back, Bakura knocked on the old lady's door. "Oh, hello," she said. "My dog was at the pound, isn't that wonderful? Oh, who's this? You brought me a new dog! Oh, how nice! Thank you!"
"Uhh, you're welcome," Bakura said, feeling sick. "Here's some pills you're supposed to feed him every week.bye," and practically ran down the driveway.
"Goodbye, dearie!" The lady called after him.
Muttering nasty things under his breath in Egyptian, he ran inside and called Yami. "What now?" Yami said in annoyance, picking up the phone. He had finally finished with the Legolas mail, only to be confronted by another intimidating stack of letters . about Aragorn.
"I got the Chihuahua and your almonds, and I feel like killing someone."
".so?"
"Yami!"
"Look, I'm kind of busy. Why don't you go get takeout with the leftover money?"
"I don't have a car!"
"Look, I get off work in like half an hour. Go call in an order to that Thai restaurant and I'll go pick it up on my way back. Don't get in trouble or do anything bad."
"Me?"
"Yes, you. Now I need to go back to the task my evil manager has set me: answering Aragorn and Legolas fanmail, a mode of cruel and unusual punishment. Bye."
Yami hung up.
"I have about five hundred dollars left from the rat," Bakura mused. "I wonder how much food you can get with five hundred dollars."
You have nooooooo idea how much fun this was to write! I LOVE making fun of Bakura . he reacts so beautifully!!!!
