CHAPTER ELEVEN: PARTY PREPERATIONS
"Umm, I'm here for some takeout," Yami said.
"OK, there's seventeen bags . do you want some help loading them into your car?"
"Seventeen bags?"
"Yes . it comes to a total of $499.99."
Grumbling, Yami paid the store manager and then managed to load all the bags into his car, using the back and all rows of seats. When he got back to his house, Ryou, Seto and Bakura were all there already.
"Where's the food?" Seto said by way of greeting.
"In the back. Get everyone out here to help unload." Yami grabbed four bags from the front seat and then went into the house. "Bakura!" He shouted, putting the bags on the table.
"What?"
"Why in Ra's name did you get five hundred dollar's worth of food?"
"Oh. Well," he said by way of explanation, "I had all this extra money."
"I see. Are you going to pay me back now?"
"Well-"
Yami rolled his eyes toward the ceiling. "Bakura." he said dangerously.
"OK, OK." Bakura dug into his pocket and handed Yami the five hundred dollars. "But it was only $499.99, so you owe me a penny."
Yami searched half the house and finally had to borrow a penny from Seto (at an interest rate of 3 cents per month).
"Bakura," Seto asked suspiciously, "Where did you get that money?"
"Uhh, I think the steak is getting cold!" Bakura dashed toward a bag.
After they had eaten dinner, Yami, Bakura, Ryou and Seto adjourned to the living room. Bakura was polishing one of his knives, Seto was working on his fancy laptop, Ryou was doing homework and Yami was reading.
"Bakura," Ryou began.
"Oh no," Seto muttered quietly so only Yami could hear.
"You do know that next Saturday is my birthday, don't you?"
"Wonderful," Bakura muttered, absently stabbing Seto's arm with the knife. Seto yelped and clutched his arm, from which oozed about half a drop of blood. "I didn't do it hard enough, I think," Bakura said clinically, wiping the blood off the tip of his dagger.
Seto glared.
"Anyway," Yami interrupted before things got nasty, "What were you saying about your birthday, Ryou?"
"Can I ask a friend over so we can watch movies or something, and then you make dinner?" He asked, finishing an incredibly complicated chemistry homework sheet.
"A friend?" Seto said skeptically, modifying a picture of his Blue- Eyes on the computer.
Ryou nodded. "Raven. He goes to school with me."
"Is he gay?" Bakura asked, setting aside the knife and taking another one from his boot.
"Bakura!"
"Well, is he?"
"He's bi." Ryou glared.
"Is that so?"
"Yami Bakura, I am going to take one of your beautifully polished knives and shove it through if you continue asking idiotic questions. Is that *normally* the first question you ask about someone?"
Yami looked at him with one raised eyebrow. Ryou looked faintly embarrassed.
"Your cub's growing teeth, Bakura," Seto said, looking up from his picture of the Blue-Eyes.
Bakura glared.
"OK, fine, bring this Sparrow-"
"Raven," Ryou corrected.
"Whatever. Anyway, he can come over and I'll make dinner. What do you want?"
"You know what I'm going to say, don't you?"
Yami rolled his eyes in an expressive "Why me?"
"I think we ran out of steak last week." Bakura was carefully rubbing oil into the handle of a knife.
"Well I have to go shopping anyway, now that Ryou here wants to have a birthday party we are going to be forced to get him presents because he will chibify if we don't - and probably even if we do."
"Pleeeease, Yami? I lovvvvvvve you," Ryou said, making his most adorable puppy eyes possible.
"Hey," Bakura complained, "Don't do that."
"Jealous, Bakura?" Seto said slyly, tapping a few keys on his computer.
"There's something else, too," Ryou added to head off any impending argument. "The holidays are soon so should we celebrate Chanukah, Christmas or what?"
Bakura looked up eagerly. "Hey, what about National Tomb Raider day?"
"No!" The other three said in unison.
"Hey, how about we each pick a holiday?" Yami, naturally, was the one to suggest peace.
"National Tomb Raider Day," Bakura said stubbornly.
"Christmas," Seto chipped in.
"Whatever," Yami said with a shrug.
"To save time," Ryou said, "Why not both?"
"OK, I guess," Seto said dubiously, "But then we skip Thanksgiving. It's next week."
"That's fine," Ryou said confidently. "Now, Yami, Christmas's next, so what we have to do is."
Bakura and Seto automatically tuned out the conversation and went back to polishing knives and downloading pictures of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Yami-Akasha, you can have a cameo . uhm, it'd kind of have to be in chapter 20 or 21, because I've written up to 19. I have *evil* ideas . *cackle*
Thank you for all reviews (especially Kirbypuff *worships*)!!!!!!!
