Chapter 12 Bloopers
Fight: Take One

There was a loud crash and a shout of pain from Malik. Isis began to push herself up, but was grabbed roughly from behind. Mariku yanked her to her feet and pushed her aside so he could get at Bakura.

Bakura sat up and tried to scramble backwards away from him. The other yami lunged forward and Bakura rolled sideways off of the couch, causing Mariku to land on the arm of the couch. He blinked and looked over at Bakura who was laughing.

"Ya missed!" He laughed and dashed quickly out of the room, knowing that Mariku wouldn't take too kindly to that.
Fight: Take Two

Mariku ignored her, clamping a hand down on Bakura's throat and pushed down towards the ground, causing the white haired yami to gasp in an attempt to get air. Then Mariku's fist connected with Bakura's jaw, reopening the split lip from the previous night. He punched again, this time hitting Bakura's nose. As he was drawing his arm back for a third punch, Bakura took the chance to strike, hitting Mariku on the side of the head. This caused him to lose his balance and topple off of Bakura.

Bakura, gasping for breath, rolled over and pushed himself to his hands and knees. He raised a hand to rub his aching neck, taking a few moments to try and catch his breath.

"Go Mariku!!" Isis screamed.

There was a silence then Mariku snickered. Bakura looked at Isis in annoyance. "Dude... That just ain't cool Isis."

Silverscreamer: ~_~()

(((Reading back over this... I can't see Bakura saying "Dude... That just ain't cool" ... I really can't... But oh well.)))

Fight: Take Three

"I warned you..." Mariku sneered evilly, his hands clenched into tight, angry fists. "I told you to stay away..."

Bakura remained on his knees, silently awaiting the attack he figured would be the final one. Then, to his surprise, Isis suddenly dashed between them. "Nuh uh!" she cried, snapping her fingers three times in front of her. (You know, the whole snap, move your hand in front of you and snap, then back out and snap... Yeah... whatever...) "You don't go there girlfriend!"

Mariku just stared at her, torn between rage at being called 'girlfriend' and amusement at just how silly she seemed just then.
Aftermath: Take One

There was a moment of silence before Isis pointed at Malik, who was still laying as he had been when Bakura looked up earlier, next to a tall bookshelf. Bakura noted the disarray of the books and the broken knickknacks on the floor that Malik lay among.

"Mariku..." Isis spoke in a very strained, wrathful voice. Bakura's attention was drawn from Malik and back to these two once more. "You take my brother to his room and put him in bed. Gently, or you'll have even more to answer for." Then she turned to Bakura, but before she could do anything, he piped up quickly.

"I'm really sorry! I'm getting blood all over the carpet!" He was staring down at the blood dripping from his arm onto the floor.

Isis rolled her eyes. "Shut up, baka."
Angry Words: Take One

"There," came Mariku's voice, gruff from annoyance and anger. "Your brother's all tucked in."

"Don't you dare talk like that. You'd better jut hope that he's alright!" Isis' voice sounded furious.

Mariku snorted indignantly. "He'll be fine. And who are you to talk to me like that? Who found who with another guy?"

Isis giggled. "Well I should certainly hope that there isn't a chance that I would come home and find you with another guy.."

(((Needless to say, I don't think we want to witness what Mariku would do in this instance... ~_~() Such silly characters...)))
Angry Words: Take Two

"There," came Mariku's voice, gruff from annoyance and anger. "Your brother's all tucked in."

"Don't you dare talk like that. You'd better jut hope that he's alright!" Isis' voice sounded furious.

Mariku snorted indignantly. "He'll be fine. And who are you to talk to me like that? Who found who with another guy?"

"Don't insult me!" Isis snapped angrily.

"Awww... But I wanna!" Mariku whined. "Insulting you is so fun!"

Isis just growled and stomped out of the room.
Wakey Wakey: Take One

Ryou yawned and rolled over in bed, to look at his clock, but misjudged the distance and toppled out into the floor. Giggling, he clambered back into bed and hid under the covers, feeling like an idiot.
Coming Home: Take One

~Bakura!?~ Ryou scrambled out of bed and grabbed the Millennium Ring, practically throwing the rope over his head as he ran from his room. ~Bakura!?~

Ryou...

Ryou froze halfway down the stairs, nearly toppling headfirst down them due to his inertia and momentum. His yami sounded so weak... ~Bakura... Bakura, where are you!?~

I'm coming... On the way home...

Ryou dashed to the front door and yanked it open. He blinked against the morning sun as he stepped out of the house. As his eyes adjusted, he glanced around frantically. Then he spotted Bakura, shirtless and bleeding... and skipping merrily down the sidewalk towards him.

Ryou rolled his eyes. "Bakura, you're supposed to be really hurt! Skipping just doesn't fit the part!"
Phone Call: Take One

As Ryou dialed, Bakura asked quietly. What are you doing?

Ryou shrugged. ~Making a phone call.~

I see that. but he couldn't get any more out before someone answered the phone.

"Hello. City Morgue." Came the voice on the other end of the line.

Ryou blinked, not sure what to say. Then he heard snickering through the phone and rolled his eyes. "Mariku, you idiot." He muttered and hung up the phone.
Phone Call: Take Two

As Ryou dialed, Bakura asked quietly. What are you doing?

Ryou shrugged. ~Making a phone call.~

I see that. but he couldn't get any more out before someone answered the phone.

"Hello?" It was Malik.

Ryou groaned. "Malik, you aren't supposed to answer the phone! Isis is."

"Oh! My bad, man."

There was a click that showed that Malik had hung up the phone.

Ryou sighed and tried again...
Phone Call: Take Three

As Ryou dialed, Bakura asked quietly. What are you doing?

Ryou shrugged. ~Making a phone call.~

I see that. but he couldn't get any more out before someone answered the phone.

"Hello. Domino City Insane Asylum." Came Mariku's cheery voice.

Ryou gritted his teeth. "Sometimes I don't doubt that's true!" He muttered and hung up the phone.
Up A Tree: Take One

Climbing the tree near the house was no easy task with the shape he was in, but he managed. Usually he'd be furious with Malik because another of his stupid schemes had gotten both of them injured. But he didn't feel angry right now. His soul ached far too much for him to be angry. He felt numb to everything... But also concerned.

*Is that why I'm here?* he asked himself as he edged along the tree branch towards Malik's window. *Because I'm worried about Malik?*

Suddenly, Bakura's hand slipped and he toppled sideways, barely managing to grab the branch. "Crap..." He muttered as he hung from the tree. "I think I need to try this one again..."
Awake: Take One

Once he felt fairly sure that Malik would have gone back to sleep again, he slowly moved closer to the bed. He stared at his friend a moment before glancing absently around the room.

"BOO!"

Bakura jumped and looked down to see a laughing Malik looking up at him. Glaring, he smacked his friend upside the head. "Baka..."
