Chapter 7 Bloopers
One Week: Take One
Bakura sat ignoring his hikari's complaining. He tried to recall why it was that Ryou was fussing at him again, but had done such a good job of tuning him out, that he couldn't be sure. Something about stealing... *Oh yes... He must have found those things I swiped with Malik a week ago... He sure is slow.*
Bakura stretched out on Ryou's bed and yawned, not even caring to hide the fact he wasn't paying any attention. His thoughts were elsewhere. Going over the events of one week ago.
Bakura sings in his head.
* It's been one week since you looked at me cocked your head to one side and said I'm angry Five days since you laughed at me saying get that together come back and see me Three days since the living room, I realized it's my fault, but couldn't tell you Yesterday you'd forgiven me, but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry*
Silverscreamer appears and bops him. "That's not what you're supposed to be thinking!"
Ryou snickers as Bakura rubs his head and grumbles.
Forget It: Take One
Ryou sighed and plopped down on the edge of the bed. The shift in the mattress jolted Bakura out of his thoughts. "Eh?" he looked at his hikari and blinked.
"Oh, forget it. You're just a hopeless shmuck. Once a thief, always a thief. It's so pathetic that you can't even get yourself past what you used to be." Ryou shook his head.
Bakura frowned and looked at Ryou. "Good grief... What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
Ryou shrugged. "I dunno, just figured that's a way of getting your attention."
Bakura rolled his eyes.
Arrival at Malik's: Take One
Bakura stretched absently as he waited for someone to answer the door after he knocked. His mind wandering slightly, he turned his gaze to watch some people walking down the sidewalk a short distance away. Hearing the door opening, he turned back... to find Mariku standing there.
Bakura blinked. Mariku was wearing a frilly white apron with pretty pink lace. Bakura stared at the other yami.
Mariku looked down at himself, following his gaze. "Oh... Er... I was just doing a bit of cleaning..."
Bakura just shook his head, turned and left, waiting until he was out of reach before bursting into laughter.
Arrival at Malik's: Take Two
Bakura stretched absently as he waited for someone to answer the door after he knocked. His mind wandering slightly, he turned his gaze to watch some people walking down the sidewalk a short distance away. Hearing the door opening, he turned back... to find Isis standing there.
"Oh, hello again Bakura." Isis smiled.
"Hello, Isis."
"You came to see me didn't you? I knew you just couldn't get enough of me after the last time you were here." She reached out to grab his hand, but he drew back quickly.
Glancing around frantically he growled. "Silverscreamer! You're starting to really get on my nerves here!"
Silverscreamer: ^_^() Oh, but it's fun!
Arrival at Malik's: Take Three
Bakura stretched absently as he waited for someone to answer the door after he knocked. His mind wandering slightly, he turned his gaze to watch some people walking down the sidewalk a short distance away. Hearing the door opening, he turned back... to find Mariku standing there.
The other yami's eyes narrowed as he glared down at Bakura. "What do you want?"
Bakura inclined his head to one side and blinked with feigned innocence. "I'm here to see Isis. Yeah, ya know I'm on the path to stealing your woman. She's a real woman, if you catch my drift. While spending that time alone together all evening back a few days ago, we became quite close."
Mariku blinked and pulled a script out of thin air. "I don't think that's right..." He muttered as he began flipping through the pages. "You aren't supposed to let me in on your plan I don't think..."
Bakura scratched his head and shrugged. "I just thought this would be more interesting..."
Arrival at Malik's: Take Four
Bakura stretched absently as he waited for someone to answer the door after he knocked. His mind wandering slightly, he turned his gaze to watch some people walking down the sidewalk a short distance away. Hearing the door opening, he turned back... to find Mariku standing there.
The other yami's eyes narrowed as he glared down at Bakura. "What do you want?"
Bakura inclined his head to one side and blinked with feigned innocence. "To see Malik... Whatever else would I possibly want?"
Mariku stared at him for a moment before bursting into tears. "Nobody ever comes to see me! It's always business for Isis or a friend of Malik's! Why is it that this world hates me so!? What have I done to deserve such cruel treatment!?"
"Uh..." Bakura rubbed the back of his neck thoughtfully. "It could be the constant attempts to kill everyone, and the mauling of random passers-by on the street..."
Mariku looked at him, his eyes drying instantly. "Oh yeah... That would probably be it..." And with that, he slammed the door in Bakura's face.
Arrival at Malik's: Take Five
Bakura stretched absently as he waited for someone to answer the door after he knocked. His mind wandering slightly, he turned his gaze to watch some people walking down the sidewalk a short distance away. Hearing the door opening, he turned back... to find Joey standing there.
"..." Bakura stared at him. "What in the shadow realm are you doing here?" he asked blandly.
Joey shrugged. "We all figured we'd get together and attempt to teach Mariku how to play Go Fish again... Yami picked it up pretty quickly, I don't see why it's so hard for Mariku to understand."
Bakura blinked, but found himself nodding and saying, "Well, I think it's that Mariku's just too evil. The game isn't dangerous in the slightest and there's not the slightest hint of violence in it. His brain doesn't function properly when it comes to things that are calm, sane fun."
Joey nodded, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly he frowned. "Wait a minute... Why'd they make me answer the door... Aw man! I bet their messing with my cards!"
Bakura blinked as the door was slammed in his face again and he heard the footsteps indicating Joey dashing into the other room.
Arrival at Malik's: Take Six
There was a knock at the door, and Mariku went to answer it. When he opened the door, he blinked. It was supposed to be Bakura, wasn't it? Yet, there stood Duke, dressed in a Dominoes Pizza uniform and holding a pizza.
Mariku blinked again before scratching his head. "Uh... What-"
"Just shut up." Duke muttered as he held out the pizza. "It's a part-time job. Some of us don't have the luxury of living with someone as well off as Isis."
Mariku shrugged and took the pizza. Turning, he shut the door.
"HEY!" Duke shouted and banged on the door. "What about my tip!?" When there was no answer, he turned and trudged away, muttering about 'cheap bastards.'
What To Do: Take One
Malik looked up and ceased his pacing. "Oh, hey Bakura. What are you doing here?"
Bakura shrugged, entering the room and shutting the door. "I was bored. Figured that you could surely help me come up with some mischief to keep myself occupied. You know... two heads are better than one. Even if one of them is your head."
Malik rolled his eyes, but nodded. "How about go downtown and paint bright, pretty daisies on the walls of buildings?"
"You're such a fruit..." Bakura muttered.

Malik looked up and ceased his pacing. "Oh, hey Bakura. What are you doing here?"
Bakura shrugged, entering the room and shutting the door. "I was bored. Figured that you could surely help me come up with some mischief to keep myself occupied. You know... two heads are better than one. Even if one of them is your head."
Malik rolled his eyes, but nodded. "How about ride around on my motorcycle and pick up girls?"
"What a stupid waste of time! Besides, aren't I trying to get with your sister here?"
"Oh... right..." Malik looked sad about not being able to go out to get girls.

Bakura shrugged, entering the room and shutting the door. "I was bored. Figured that you could surely help me come up with some mischief to keep myself occupied. You know... two heads are better than one. Even if one of them is your head."
Malik rolled his eyes, but nodded. "How about find some poor unsuspecting sap and drag him down to the pier where we torment him maliciously and then toss him into the water tied to a metal barrel full of gravel?"
"..." Bakura reached out a hand and thwapped Malik in the head. "You've been spending too much time with your yami... Remember, we only torment and maul people when it serves a purpose..." Bakura thought for a moment. "Although, I must say that it would certainly serve the purpose of quelling my boredom. So let's go!"
Silverscreamer appears and whaps 'em both. "No tormenting and mauling and killing." Points at Malik. "You're supposed to formulate a plan to get Bakura and Isis to spend some 'alone time' together. So get thinking!"
Malik: ~_~() yes Silver-chan...
Stolen Cards: Take One
"I'll be back in a sec, alright?" Malik said as he dashed out of his room.
Bakura raised an eyebrow and stared out the door after him a moment before shrugged and sitting down in the chair in front of Malik's desk. Bored, he wandered to the window and stared out into open space.
The blonde boy appeared in the doorway. "Come on. Isis is going to take us and unlock the museum for us."
Bakura was surprised. "What!? Why would she do that?"
Malik grinned. "Because I told her that you're feeling depressed and wanted to see some of the artifacts from Ancient Egypt so that you could feel a little more at home..."
Bakura just stared at him for a long time. Finally, he shook his head slightly. "You're kidding... Right?" When his friend just grinned at him, Bakura's eyes narrowed. "So... Was your plan ever to vandalize the artifacts?"
"Heh... You're hate for Pharaoh makes you easy to manipulate." Malik shrugs. "And we wouldn't want to make me out to be a liar to my sister now would we? So I advise you to play along. Besides, it's about time the two of you spent more time together, you know. You promised to steal my sister's heart away from my yami and so far you've only managed to put the slightest of wedges between the two of them."
Bakura sighed. "Right... But you'll get what's coming to you, Malik... And soon."
"Yeah, I know I will." Malik shrugged as though he didn't care.
"I've been meaning to ask you... What exactly were you and Mariku doing out so late that night?" Bakura eyed his friend, who was suddenly grinning like an idiot.
"Oh, you know us... Just... Guy stuff..."
Bakura raised an eyebrow. "Uh, huh..."
Malik's grin broadened. "We were spending a fun-filled evening in one of the shadier sections of Domino City. A little food, a little drink, lots of women..." He laughed and opened his mouth to speak again.
"No!" Bakura held up a hand to stop him. "I'd rather not hear the details I think..." He shook his head. "Isis found out the truth no doubt?"
"Yes." Malik looked very pleased with himself. "Wasn't very pleased, I must say."
"I wouldn't think so..." Bakura had an odd feeling when he thought of Mariku making Isis angry and upset. He shook his head, shoving the thoughts away, and started for the door. "Well, Let's get this over with if we have to."
"Alright," Malik said as he followed. "Just remember... You're depressed... Oh, and before we go... Give me back those cards you stole."
"Oh crap!" Bakura yelled suddenly. "I'd completely forgotten to take 'em!"
Malik: ~_~()
