Chapter Two: Strange...

"Kunaaa!"
Kuna poked his head out of the closet.
"Put your clothes back on!" Lavender hissed.
"Don't like what you see?" Kuna grinned.
Lavender stalked over and grabbed his ear, and promptly twisted it. "Want to die a virgin?" she hissed.
"No!" Kuna squeaked.
"Good. Go find your clothes." Lavender flew off to explore the bathroom.
Kuna grabbed his towel and flew back to the coffee pot. While flying to the kitchen something shiny caught his eye. He flew closer to look. What he saw was a small silver safety pin. His eyes went wide.
"Ooooh, shiiiiny!" he hissed. He grabbed the pin, flew off to retrieve his clothes, dressed himself, and flew off to the bedroom, leaving the scrap of paper towel lying haphazardly on the kitchen counter.

Maku was standing on the bedpost, looking around, when he spotted a crack in the window that was big enough for him to step through. He slipped through and flew out into the backyard. He discovered a gorgeous backyard, with a colorful, lush garden, complete with small fountain. Of course, to the faerie, the garden looked enormous. It was perfect. The moonlight danced off the water and flowers in a mystical way. Mist was coming up from the soil. He flew back through the window, and almost flew right into a tanned, clumsy faerie with messy golden blonde hair. He had dark brown eyes, and while his skin was tan, it wasn't as tanned as Lavender or Maku. He wore dark brown pants, black vest, which at the moment was open(A/N: Yumm...), and a simple gold chain around his neck. His wings were tinged with gold. He dodged the faerie just in time.
"Niiice, Maku," the faerie said.
"And you think you can do better, Joki?" Maku said coolly. "You blend in with the night, ya know."
"Yeeeeah, shut up, I'm missin' the show." Joki gestured towards the small gang of faeries that had convened around the bedpost.
The scene they were watching was of Malik and Ryou, sleeping peacefully. Malik had his arms wrapped protectively around Ryou, who was snuggled into his koi's embrace. His eyes were all that could be seen as he snuggled closer to Malik. The faeries were watching intently.
"Oooh, it's so cute!" A faerie by the name of Tika said. She had shoulder-length brown hair, with blue eyes. She wore silver moon earrings which dangled and glinted in the moonlight. She wore a light blue dress, and had silver wings. Around her neck was a sliver choker with a charm. The charm was a small silver pentagram with a blue jewel in the middle, with a silver 'Y'.
"Dat's cuz you think everything is cute," Joki sneered.
"I do not!" Tika screeched.
"Yeah ya do! Every day wit' ya it's like, 'OOOH! The bird is so cuuuute!' Or, 'Awww, lookit the widdle worm, the worm is so adorable!" He mimicked in a high girly voice.
"I don't like worms!" Tika hissed. "I think they're slimy and weird!"
"Well, I like worms," Joki stated proudly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a couple ta spy on." He flew to the other bedpost to get a better look at the sleeping humans.
Maku searched through the faeries until he found who he was looking for. Rayana.
Rayana was quietly sitting by herself on the dresser, looking at her nails, which she had painted a silvery blue, to match her dress and wings. She stood up to stretch.
"Rayana." A deep voice called out softly.
Rayana turned to see Maku standing in the shadows. The moonlight played off his features, giving his purple eyes a bright hue. He walked to her and greeted her with a gentle kiss, and gently stroked her cheek.
"Hey," she murmured, and to her surprise, Maku picked her up, and off they flew.
"Hey!" she shrieked. "Where are we going?" Maku said nothing, he just grinned, and kissed her again. Rayana couldn't help it, and started up in fit of giggles. Maku was never the spontaneous type, this was something new to her. They flew past the unsuspecting crowd, out the window, and to a large branch on the tree that sat in the corner of the garden. Maku set her down in front of her, and put his arm around her. Rayana was amazed.
"It's beautiful," she whispered.
"Isn't it?" Maku murmured in her ear. "It's perfect. I knew you'd love it." He pulled her closer. "You looked kinda distant in the bedroom."
"Sleeping humans are cute for about a minute," Rayana said. "They get boring after that. I mean, it's just sleeping!"
"Yeah." He tightened his grip around her waist a bit. "This," he said, gesturing to the garden with his free arm, "Is exactly what I was looking for. Do you know why I came here, Rayana?"
"It was crowded and dusty back in Egypt, and the oasis needed to hive off," Rayana said.
"That too. But I was also looking for something else, Something I knew I wouldn't be able to find back in Egypt. It his here, Rayana, that I have found the perfect place," he turned to face Rayana, and look into her eyes, "Where I can start a new life with you. I love you, you mean everything to me. There was a time when I thought I would never find the kind of person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I found it in you, Rayana. Here, we can spend our lives together."
Rayana smiled. "Maku!" she squealed, and flung her arms around Maku. Maku held her tightly, and kissed her passionately. They flew off into the garden to inspect it further. They walked through the plants and mist, and danced in the moonlight, until the other faeries had gone to sleep. They flew back through the window, into the linen closet, and snuggled to sleep in a bedsheet, with Maku holding her close.

Ryou woke up the next morning, at around ten. He went to stretch but found he couldn't move, because Malik was clinging to him for dear life. He snuggled back in to Malik, and fell back asleep.
Kuna snuck out into the bedroom, looking for something to loot, and add to the rather odd collection of items he had. He spotted Ryou's jeans on the floor, and went to go have a look.
He burrowed in to the left pocket, and found a set of keys, but to his disappointment, he couldn't move them, for they were too heavy, so, making his rounds, he went to the left back pocket.
And he struck gold.
"Ooh, what do we have here?" he crooned. He found a small square package with a small round, flat object inside. The package read "Trojan, ribbed, for maximum pleasure."
"What is this thing?" He muttered. He pulled it out of the pocket, and was about to fly off with it, when he bumped into a rather tall figure, wearing black pants. He was tall and lanky, with icy blue eyes and dark brown hair that fell into his face, cut short. He wore a blue shirt, and had black wings.
"Seth," Kuna sneered.
"Kuna," came the icy reply.
"Come to snitch on me cuz what I found isn't shiny enough?" Kuna spat.
"On the contrary, It was none of the sort," Seth hissed. "The King Yoriko is coming to check out this place. He has heard nothing but good, and you might call this a little pre-inspection. Of course, it's not all good, seeing as you're here." He added with a grin.
"I'd rather be mischievous than a snitch for the almighty," Kuna growled. "Get out of my way, the likes of you is burning my eyes out."
"Is that any way to talk to royalty?" Seth rested one slim hand on his hip, fangs gleaming with authority.
"I talk to anybody any way I wish," Kuna said before flying off with the square object.

Ryou swung his legs to the side of the bed, stretched, and rubbed his eyes. The put on his jeans, and a shirt of Malik's that was white, button-up, with pinstripes. On the right upper pocket, the shirt read, 'PATIENT #467382.' His hand reached into the left back pocket to find the condom Bakura had slipped there the night before, he planned on putting it in a safe place to use later. His hand found pocket fluff, but no form of protection. He checked his other pockets, but failed to find it.
"I don't believe this!" he snapped. "It's gone!"
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Malik was having a fit.
"What is this? The counter is dirty! I know it was clean when I got back! And this paper towel, it's just lying there! And why is there a corner torn from it? And there are coffee spots all over the counter! And this toothpick...HEY! WHO BROKE INTO THE BOOZE CABINET?"
Ryou walked into the kitchen. "I don't drink, you know that. Did you take my condom?" Ryou asked.
"No...did you do this?" Malik gestured to the mess on the kitchen counter.
"No!"
"Just checking...look at this!"
Ryou inspected the mess. "Hey, look at this!" he pointed to the coffee trails that lead from the mug, to the pitcher, and the water spots leading to the paper towels. "They look like footprints!" he giggled.
"Funny Ryou. Do you think Bakura did this?"
"I don't think so, he didn't go anywhere near the kitchen last night."
/Is there a problem?/ Bakura's voice echoed through Ryou's mind.
//You didn't break into the booze cabinet, did you?//
/No! I mean, the lock's easy to pick and all, but I'd never actually do it./
//Okay...there's just this weird mess in the kitchen.//
/Oh, that. Faeries./
//I beg your pardon?//
/It's the Fae Ryou, they're coming to get you.../
//Shut up! It's not funny!//
/Yeah it is./
//So you think Fae did this?//
/You want the truth?/
//That would be nice...//
/I have no clue./
Ryou sweatdropped. "Bakura didn't do it," he said.
"Then what happened?"
"I don't know...Bakura thinks it was the Fae."
Malik let out a chuckle. "Fae indeed. Maybe it was Marik."
/It wasn't me!/ Marik's smooth voice echoed through Malik's mind.
//Then who?// Malik shot back. //Bakura thinks it was the Fae.//
/He would. He's a tad delusional, that tomb robber./
//Maybe that's why you're sleeping with him.//
Malik heard a crash from Marik's soul room.
//Teehee.//
/Shut up. It's not funny./
//Yeah it is.//
/Faeries do exist, you know. You're silly, you have an innocence about you, and a nice collection of wine and bright shiny objects about our house. It wouldn't surprise me./
//You talk.//
/Yeah, yeah. Maybe you brought them back from Egypt!/ Malik listened to Marik's laughter.
//Right.//
/You never know./
//It wasn't faeries!//
/Whatever./
Malik closed his soul link with a bang. "Fae indeed. The Yamis are trying to piss us off." Malik sat against the counter, and took Ryou into his arms.
"I don't want to think about this anymore," he purred. "I want to spend some quality time with my Imzadi.(1)"
Ryou blushed. He liked his little pet name. Malik ran his hands through Ryou's soft silvery hair. "I missed you." He kissed Ryou on top of his head. Ryou snuggled in. "I missed you too."
"How did I get so lucky?" Malik murmured, breathing in the sweet smell of Ryou's hair.
"It wasn't luck."
"Then what was it? We're worlds apart."
"Na, not really. I have a psychotic yami, and you have a psychotic yami. And you're..." he stopped.
"I'm a psycho. I know. I like it." he turned to face Ryou, and kissed him on the nose. "I love you."
"I love you too."

"All hail the mighty Yoriko!"
Two faerie guards, dressed in black, with black wings, marched in front, followed by Seth, who was wearing an icy smirk, and sporting a blue cape to match his blue pants. He wore an elaborate black vest. A silver chain sported a charm that represented his rank, a First-Degree initiate symbol, which showed he was directly ranked below Yami(2). Following Seth were four faeries, dressed in green, holding a lavish, richly decorated purple throne. The throne contained a rich, soft, comfy-looking purple couch, lined with gold. The couch had several plush cushions, and a heavy, shading purple canopy. The canopy had gold fringe, and a curtain. In front of the throne was a platform. On the platform sat a rather regal looking faerie. He had black hair, with crimson tips, and bright blonde highlights. His hair was spiked, and he wore gold pentagram earrings, and a gold pentagram choker around his throat. On the same chain was a charm that signified he was a Wiccan High Priest. A simple gold choker also adorned his neck, and his fangs gleamed with noble pride. He wore a black cape, adorned with embroidery and shiny sequins, and a tight-fitting crimson vest, which was open at the moment, revealing tanned, smooth abs. He wore baggy black pants, and a gold anklet on his ankle. He sat Indian-style on the couch, fingers interlaced, his chin resting on them. The parade continued until they stopped at Malik's carry-on, and he got up, and stood on the platform. Immediately several of the Fae bowed down and hid their faces. Seth stepped up to the tricolored faerie.
"Your wish, my lord Yoriko?" He asked.
Yoriko surveyed his people, and finally, he spoke, in a deep, soothing voice:
"What is this, ancient Egypt? At ease, stop hiding your faces!" He grinned.
The fae stood up, relieved. The noble faerie looked at Rayana, who was shaking, and Maku, who was standing behind her trying to calm her. "Rayana," he said. "I'm not a tyrant, you know. You have no reason to be scared."
"B-b-but b-b-back home y-you were s-so f-formal..."
"Because my dad was around. He expected me to follow him exactly."
"B-b-ut what if h-h-he h-hears of this?" Rayana asked.
"He won't. Daaad?" Yami called out. Rayana jumped almost three feet. The other fae did not notice, they were watching this faerie intently.
They were all met with dead silence.
"Dear old Dad isn't here, nor will he ever be," Yami stated. "Besides, he's a cantankerous fart anyway."
His remark was met with giggles from the other fae.
Maku tightened his grip on Rayana. "You need to be calm, dear."
"I-I know," she whispered. Maku gently massaged her shoulders.
Yoriko jumped off the platform, and fluttered down amongst the other faeries. "My people," he said. "I am proud of you all, it is not easy to leave your homes, and travel many miles, all on a huge risk. It seems that this risk has indeed paid off, for this place we have found will be perfect. I do realize that the ring was supposed to 'hive' off, but that is not so. Our new plan is to have a small, intimate community, I do not wish to rule over a metropolis, and besides, that many faeries would drive the inhabitants of this house insane."
"But I thought we were supposed to hive off, because the ring was overpopulated?" Lavender asked.
"That," Yoriko said, "Was an immaculate lie to get my dad to shut up and shove off."
Yoriko was greeted with more giggles.
"I think," Yoriko said, "That this place will be perfect to live in."
