Don't really have much to say, a big sorry for not updating...if you want information about upcoming chapters or just want to prod me into hurrying up, my sn is xLook2theLef31x. I'd be happy to talk to you, and happy to take suggestions...maybe I'll even give a few plot hints out;) Okay on with the chapter.
-----
Indian Chief-Well, funny-looking strangers, the Hishnish feast over and now time for you to go back to big land over water where non-men wear very small things. We prepare boat for you. Is on the edge of the water. Leave when want.
Bakura-Yes, I suppose we must. Although this feast was awfully good. At least before the Pharaoh went postal when he found out about Tea. Speaking of him...Pharaoh? PHARAOH!! Are you coming?!?! *after no answer, he looks around*
*sees Yami trying in vain to hang himself with a vine on a tree in the distance* *sighs* Well thanks for your help. Maybe someday I'll bring you back pizza from the real world or something as thanks. It's about time you people ate something other than grubs.
Indian Chief- You are very welcome, Pale-as-the-snow.
Bakura-Hah-hah...very original name. *runs over to where Yami is as the chief disappears into the undergrowth*
What are you doing? A woman is not worth any of this!
Yami- It's worth it. All my life I've been hurt and there's no point in going on...*starts wrapping vine around neck*
Bakura-Well, when you put it that way....BOO HOO. Give me that! Let's go. The nice Indian people set us up a dainty little boat.
Yami-Did you just say "dainty?" Because that would give me another reason to kill myself.
Bakura-Errrrrr.....come on. *yanks vine away and starts walking towards the boat, mumbling* Stupid royalty...always think that killing themselves will solve all the problems...well looky looky, he tried that once and got stuck in the puzzle...lousy, good for nothing- YOUCH!!!!!
Yami-*reluctantly following when he sees Bakura shout* What is it? What happened?
Bakura- *grumbling as he pulls something out of his bare foot (the shoes got lost somewhere)* This. I stepped on it. Don't they have an island clean up crew? Some shamed warriors who didn't kill a lion or something? They should be picking this mess up!
Yami-That doesn't look like mess to me...*eyes widen as he realizes what it is*
Bakura, his thief senses suddenly kicking in, realizes what he is holding in his hand. A dusty, blood red ruby, which he slowly cleans off with shaking fingers until it glimmers brightly in the sunshine.
Bakura-A ruby....I STEPPED ON A RUBY! *goes dancing around* I'M GUNNA BE RICH! RICH I TELL YOU! RIIIIIICH! I'll get to buy a little dog, and laugh evilly and wipe out entire species! Finally, my evilness has some funding!
Yami-Give me that! *lunges for the ruby*
Bakura-OH NO YOU DON'T! *hides ruby in his shirt* Listen to me Pharaoh, I FOUND
IT.
Yami-Well at least let me see it.
Bakura-You think I'm _that_ stupid? Okay wait, don't answer that. *sighs* Here, take it. But just for a second.
Slowly, Bakura hands the ruby to Yami and the Pharaoh turns it over in his fingers. After the initial shock wears off, he shrugs and drops it in the sand.
Yami-Meh. I had plenty of those when I was King.
Bakura-WHHHHHATTTT!? You stupid, snobby little, grape-fed orangatang....this is worth a fortune! JUST LOOK AT IT! *holds the ruby to the sunlight*
Before the two enemies could realize what was happening, a slight humming noise filled the air, and the sunshine, strong and hot on the island, shot through the prismed ruby. Two identical rays of light sped through the stone and dissapeared directly into Yami and Bakura.
Bakura- What the? Why do I suddenly feel......feel....*faints*
Yami-Ba-ba-(black sheep? okay sry that was just the authoress being a goof) Bakura? Ba-kura...I don't feel....*faints*
--------
The island was cool and quiet by the time Yami awoke. The birds had stopped whistling noisily in the trees and the hot afternoon sun was receding slowly, making way for the night. The boat which the Indians had prepared still floated silently on the ocean, tethered to the beach by a stone. Finally realizing where he was, Yami stood up slowly.
Yami- Bakura? Bakura......*turns around* Baku-EEEEEEEK!!!!!!
Instead of Bakura, a giant dragon lay in the sand where the tomb robber was before, snoozing soundly. The last rays of the sun were glinting brightly off it's golden scales and it was continuously snoring. (like a foghorn=P)
The Pharaoh, now completely bewildered and afraid that he would become lunch meat, turned around and ran as fast and long as he could across the beach. Only when he could run no more did he fall to his knees by the waters edge, a good distance put between him and this new terror. Panting heavily, he leaned over the water with his eyes closed, ready to soak himself to cool off. But as soon as he opened them, he stumbled backwards, shouting again.
Yami-WHAT IN THE HELL?!?!?!?!
Looking down at his hands, he suddenly realized that they weren't hands. In fact, they were paws. White paws with long yellow nails and pinkish pads on the bottom.
Thinking that he was halucinating, he shot back to the waters edge for another look. Instead of being met by his usual face, he saw instead the reflection of a slender wolf, completely white and menacing. The only thing that slightly resembled the old Pharaoh were the wolf's stunning amythest eyes.
Surely this was some magic. Some trick. Yami wasn't a wolf. And Yami had just talked! How was it that a wolf could talk?
Yami-Think Yami, think....you just woke up on the island, when you should be in the boat. What were you doing before...before...AH! THE RUBY!
A thought finally dawned on Yami/wolf as he recollected his thoughts. The ruby. The last thing he and Bakura had done before falling asleep was to look at the ruby.
Maybe...just maybe, it had done this? Or maybe it was the Indians...
Still in disbelief, but knowing that he needed help, Yami ran back in the direction of the dragon. Somehow, in the back of his mind, he knew it must be Bakura.
---
The Pharaoh was finally back to the spot where he had awoken. And the dragon still lay snoring in the sand. Gulping down his fear, he searched the dragon once over with his eyes. Was it Bakura? Please let it be Bakura...
His heart lept when he saw the ruby clutched tightly in a steely wing of the golden beast. With all the courage he could muster, Yami walked forward and spoke.
Yami/Wolf-Bakura? Bakkuuuurrraaaaaaaa.....wake up...I know it's you...
Dragon-*snore*
Yami/Wolf-GET UP, YOU STUPID OVER-GROWN GECKO!!!
Dragon-Wha? what? Who...?
Yami/Wolf-Psshhh. The only things he responds to now-a-days are insults. GET, UP!
Dragon-AHHHHH!!!!! WOLF!!!!! YAMI, HELP!!!!!!!! *looks around* Yami?
Yami/Wolf-*content little smile* Yami's not here right now. Just me. Is your name Bakura?
Bakura/Dragon-Yes....
Yami/Wolf- You know, you shouldn't "cry wolf" when there really isn't one. Someday, a real one might just come gobble you up and no one will believe you.
Bakura/Dragon-......WHY ARE YOU TALKING!? STUPID DOG! I never liked talking dogs!! NOT EVEN CLIFFORD! And he was red! And big! And you're just little and stupid and...and...mommmmyyyyyyy....*starts to sob* This better be a dream...
Yami/Wolf-*grin gets bigger* A dragon really shouldn't cry. It's bad for your image.
Bakura/Dragon-Dragon? *looks at hands...or wings* HOLY SHIT!
Yami/Wolf- Can I call you Puff? *starts singing Puff the Magic Dragon*
Bakura/Dragon-But...I'M HUMAN!
Yami/Wolf- Wow. Weird looking human. Did you by any chance wander into some toxic waste?
Bakura/Dragon-WHO ARE YOU!? AND HOW DID YOU KNOW MY NAME!? Wait...*looks at ruby in hand* *looks at the wolf in front of him and the wolf's eyes* *looks back at ruby and then at his wing* No....way.
Yami/Wolf-Wow, that was quick. Took me a trip half way around the beach to figure it out. So we aren't hallucinating.
Bakura/Dragon- You're the Pharaoh?
Yami/Wolf- Yep. And you're Bakura. The dragon.
Bakura/Dragon-Prove it. Prove that you're the Pharaoh.
Yami/Wolf- *sighs* Fine, ask me a question.
Bakura/Dragon- Who is the coolest tomb robber, ever?
Yami/Wolf- I refuse to dignify that with an answer. What is so cool about a person who robs dead people?
Bakura/Dragon-*scowls* Fine. It's Yami. It's you. Only you would be so petty.
Yami/Wolf- Petty!? *growls*
Bakura/Dragon- You know, you kinda look like Silver Fang.
Yami/Wolf- *stops growling* Huh? Like from the cards?
Bakura/Dragon-Definately.
Yami/Wolf- Come to speak of it, you kind of look like Curse of Dragon.
Bakura/Dragon-Hmmm...interesting. *thinks deeply for a second, then starts laughing hysterically* HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA THE GODS TURNED ME INTO A DRAGON, AND YOU'RE JUST A MUTT! YOU GET TO DRINK OUT OF TOILET BOWLS, AND I GET TO BURN VILLAGES!!!!!
Yami/Wolf- *steams* THAT would be a dog. Wolves don't drink from toilet bowls. And if there really are gods, they would smite you down before you actually learn how to use your firepower. Gods, who would EVER give HIM firepower!?
Bakura/Dragon-MUAHHAHA!*continues laughing hysterically*
Yami/Wolf- I'm glad you're amused, but I'd prefer to be human again. Where is the ruby?
Bakura/Dragon-*between spazms of laughter* Here...fetch. *tee hee*
Yami/Wolf- *takes it in his mouth and spits it in the sand* Maybe it said something on it. We never got a chance to look it over before you held it up to the sun.
Bakura/Dragon- DOG-GONIT! I SHOULDA CHECKED IT. Hahah get it? "DOG"GONIT!!? BA-HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! *continues choking with laughter*
Yami/Wolf- *scowls even more as he looks the ruby over* Hey! Look....
Barely chiseled into the ruby was a small passage of tiny lettering, and the two creatures read it carefully in the fading light.
-If the greedy wish to take this stone
The greedy shall dearly pay;
For a curse was set apon this stone
One cold and fateful day.
If the rays of sun do shine right through,
The curse will soon take hold
And the thief shall soon be turned into
A duel monster...meek or bold.
To set it right the thief must do
An extrordinary thing,
They must find an offer for the Gods
And into the volcano, they must fling.
The tricky part is what's in store
For it can't be a calf
In fact if you wish to turn right back
It has to be your other half.
Bakura-Hmm. Interesting. *after a second* Alright, where's Ryou?
Yami-ARE YOU CRAZY!?
Bakura-Whoah Lassie, down boy!!!!
Yami-*growls* I am _not_ throwing my aibou into a volcano.
Bakura-And why not? All they do is eat and sleep anyway. Like Garfield! Only minus the orange-ness and the stripes and being a cat and all.
Yami-I'm going to bite you if you don't shut up!! No is no!
Bakura- Oh, you're an expert at biting, aren't you? Afterall, you've been living with vulnerable, cute little Yugi all these years...
Yami-ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY SEXUALITY!?
Bakura-Only the part I can't see. ^___^
Yami-*lunges at Bakura but Bakura sticks a wing out and holds him back*
Bakura-Neener neener neener!!! You can't reach me! *Yami nips his wing* OUCH! You nasty little son of a bitch....hey....wait...you are one!!! BAHAHAHAH!!!
Yami-*now in a ferocious rage, howls and knocks over Bakura*
Bakura-Stop it, or I'll eat you! Bad dog! Get off! *pushes him away violently with a claw*
Yami-*slides into sand, panting* Fine. We've gotta find a way off this island anyway. I've just had the fighting spirit bottled up in me ever since you told me about Tea. Stupid women.
Bakura-Yeah, what a shame. But how about being human again? As much as I like these scales, gold is just _not_ my color.
Yami- Well at least you aren't fluffy.
Bakura-What's wrong with fluffy? Fluffy's good!
Yami-*starts choking*
Bakura-Hey Snoop Dawg, I don't think you're supposed to be coughing up hairballs.
That's a cat thing.
Yami-*spits out a small golden....millenium puzzle?* NANI!?!?
Bakura-It looks like the Millenium Puzzle!
Yami-Or a very weird looking galstone...
Bakura-No, it's definately the puzzle. I bet it shrunk when you changed! *starts feeling around neck with wing* Mine is right here....it grew. Now if only EVERYTHING grew...*gets hentai look in his eyes*
Yami-Ugh. You and your sexual inuendos.
Bakura-Hey, don't knock them! When you're trapped in a ring for countless years, what
else can you do but go insane, practice karate or make up dirty jokes?! Malik had already taken the insane idea, and you went all bad-ass, so I had to do choice C.
Yami-I...see.
Bakura-Hey, I wonder if palm trees burn better than pine trees? Let's find out...
*****
With- THE OUTCASTS (dun dun dun!)
As everyone knows, Tristan was unfortunately sold for some extra cash in the last chapter, and Ryou was thrown overboard to avoid the boat tipping in case of a storm. Turns out there was no storm, (the "thunder" was just Joey's stomach) and now Ryou is kicking frantically in the middle of the sea, searching for dry land.
Ryou-WHY ME!?!? *swallows water* All I wanted was to live life, marry a supermodel, become a millionare, invent a cure for cancer and screw Britney Spears!! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?
*looks around and sees nothing but an endless stretch of sea*
Can't....tread water...much longer....*starts to sink*
Ryou-Oh well, Britney would never like me anyway...she's too spoiled by Justin Timberriver or Timberspring or Timberlake or whatever...*starts to drown* How sad is this...my last thoughts are of another man who's last name sounds like a nature preserve??? *drifts into unconscienous*
Tristan-GOTCHA! *yanks Ryou up into the tiny dingy he is in and gives him CPR until he is revived*
Ryou-*sputtering* Wha-???? Tristan! I thought we sold you!
Tristan-Oh yeah....that's right! You *did* sell me! *throws Ryou back overboard*
Ryou-NOO!! PULL ME BACK IN, YOU OAF! PLEASE! THE SHARK'S CAN
SMELL FEAR!
Tristan-*pulls him back on board* Alright, but only because I'm a nice guy. Now tell me, how did you come to be treading water this far out? Did you see a twinkie? Cuz that happened to me once and the lifeguard yelled at me. He said that a twinkie is not worth dying for. I, of course, disagree...but it's *his* life, not mine. *rolls eyes*
Ryou-*sighs* No, captain moron, I didn't see a twinkie. I got thrown overboard by
Crew THERE-MIGHT-BE-A-STORM-SO-LETS-THROW-THE-SMARTEST-ONE-OFF-THE-BOAT. Now excuse my bitchyness, but I am more than a little peeved right now. I saw my life flash before my eyes out there and it was dull, blank, depressing and short!
Tristan-Now don't be so hard on yourself. You're not short.
Ryou-*scowls* I suppose I deserved that. Now tell me, how is it that you are out here, free, in a dingy, if we sold you on the pier?
Tristan- Simple. I un-sold myself.
Ryou-How??
Tristan- It was easy. I just sang the Spongebob Squarepants theme to my manager until she *gave* me the dingy and shoved me off the dock. Works every time.
Ryou- O_o
Tristan-Yeahhhh, so I've just been floating around. I saw something white in the distance, and after I realized that it was you and not a giant mass of seagull poop, I came to save you. That's how I got here.
Ryou-Well Tristan, you may have the IQ of a loaf of cheese, but you're good in a jam. Thanks.
Tristan- ^___^.........Hey, there are LOAVES of CHEESE!?
***
-With Crew THERE-MIGHT-BE-A-STORM-SO-LETS-THROW-THE-SMARTEST-ONE-OFF-THE-BOAT-
Yugi-I'm so glad that there wasn't a storm. Storms are pointless. They shouldn't exist.
Yami Malik-You're pointless, but you're still here, now aren't you?
Yugi-Grrrrr....
Joey-Hey dudes, you know what I just realized? Now that Ryou is off the boat, there is only *ONE* girl. *looks at Tea*
Tea- *giggles nervously* Aww yeah, but you guys are nice. I'm sure you won't take advantage of me or anything....right?
Malik & Yami Malik- *cackle in unison*
Yugi-DON'T TOUCH HER, YOU HORNY EGYPTIANS!
Malik-*cracks up* Yami...BAHAHHA...the little weed wacker wants to try and stop us from taking advantage of Tea!
Yami Malik-Like THAT'LL ever happen...
Joey- And I just realized something else...we threw the dumbest and the smartest off the boat. That leaves the middle class! Go us! Go democracy! Go food! *eats sandwich*
Malik-AND we're rid of the Pharaoh. Goodbye, voice of reason!
Yami Malik- *tear* My homie...
Yugi-Hey Tea...*winks* If we throw Joey, Dr. Evil and Mini Me off the boat, we get...you+me=long hours of making out?
Tea-Please Yugi. Who would steer the boat while we kissed?
Yugi-Our love, of course! ^_^
Tea-AWWW *gets big teary anime eyes* HOW KAWAII! You're the perfect man...just perfect! I could kiss you all day!
Yami Malik-*swallows, hard* I'm feeling a sudden urge to DIE DIE! DIE!!! DIE!!!
Malik-I'm feeling a sudden urge to join you.
Suddenly, *since no one was steering* the boat runs up on dry land. Everyone falls over (Yugi "coincidentally" on top of Tea) and lays there recovering from the shock.
Joey-What was that?
Yami Malik-We ran land.
Malik-*stands up, looks over banister to a great beach and jungle before them* It's an island! Looks deserted...
Tea-I don't think there's any point to getting off here...
Yugi- ^_^ I already did "get off."
Tea-*whacks Yugi*
After Malik stops for a pee, everyone agrees that there is no point in staying any longer. They sail off, failing to notice the remains of the Hishnish feast piled into a heap further
down the beach.
Will the crew and the yamis EVER be reunited? Will Ryou stay sane long enough for Tristan to paddle them to dry land? Is Bakura a pyro? Find out next time in WSOTAG.
Till next time...

Indian Chief-Well, funny-looking strangers, the Hishnish feast over and now time for you to go back to big land over water where non-men wear very small things. We prepare boat for you. Is on the edge of the water. Leave when want.

Bakura-A ruby....I STEPPED ON A RUBY! *goes dancing around* I'M GUNNA BE RICH! RICH I TELL YOU! RIIIIIICH! I'll get to buy a little dog, and laugh evilly and wipe out entire species! Finally, my evilness has some funding!
Yami-Give me that! *lunges for the ruby*
Bakura-OH NO YOU DON'T! *hides ruby in his shirt* Listen to me Pharaoh, I FOUND
IT.
Yami-Well at least let me see it.
Bakura-You think I'm _that_ stupid? Okay wait, don't answer that. *sighs* Here, take it. But just for a second.
Slowly, Bakura hands the ruby to Yami and the Pharaoh turns it over in his fingers. After the initial shock wears off, he shrugs and drops it in the sand.
Yami-Meh. I had plenty of those when I was King.

Before the two enemies could realize what was happening, a slight humming noise filled the air, and the sunshine, strong and hot on the island, shot through the prismed ruby. Two identical rays of light sped through the stone and dissapeared directly into Yami and Bakura.
Bakura- What the? Why do I suddenly feel......feel....*faints*
Yami-Ba-ba-(black sheep? okay sry that was just the authoress being a goof) Bakura? Ba-kura...I don't feel....*faints*

The island was cool and quiet by the time Yami awoke. The birds had stopped whistling noisily in the trees and the hot afternoon sun was receding slowly, making way for the night. The boat which the Indians had prepared still floated silently on the ocean, tethered to the beach by a stone. Finally realizing where he was, Yami stood up slowly.

Yami-*slides into sand, panting* Fine. We've gotta find a way off this island anyway. I've just had the fighting spirit bottled up in me ever since you told me about Tea. Stupid women.
Bakura-Yeah, what a shame. But how about being human again? As much as I like these scales, gold is just _not_ my color.
Yami- Well at least you aren't fluffy.
Bakura-What's wrong with fluffy? Fluffy's good!
Yami-*starts choking*
Bakura-Hey Snoop Dawg, I don't think you're supposed to be coughing up hairballs.
That's a cat thing.
Yami-*spits out a small golden....millenium puzzle?* NANI!?!?
Bakura-It looks like the Millenium Puzzle!
Yami-Or a very weird looking galstone...
Bakura-No, it's definately the puzzle. I bet it shrunk when you changed! *starts feeling around neck with wing* Mine is right here....it grew. Now if only EVERYTHING grew...*gets hentai look in his eyes*
Yami-Ugh. You and your sexual inuendos.
Bakura-Hey, don't knock them! When you're trapped in a ring for countless years, what
else can you do but go insane, practice karate or make up dirty jokes?! Malik had already taken the insane idea, and you went all bad-ass, so I had to do choice C.
Yami-I...see.
Bakura-Hey, I wonder if palm trees burn better than pine trees? Let's find out...
*****
With- THE OUTCASTS (dun dun dun!)
As everyone knows, Tristan was unfortunately sold for some extra cash in the last chapter, and Ryou was thrown overboard to avoid the boat tipping in case of a storm. Turns out there was no storm, (the "thunder" was just Joey's stomach) and now Ryou is kicking frantically in the middle of the sea, searching for dry land.
Ryou-WHY ME!?!? *swallows water* All I wanted was to live life, marry a supermodel, become a millionare, invent a cure for cancer and screw Britney Spears!! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?
*looks around and sees nothing but an endless stretch of sea*
Can't....tread water...much longer....*starts to sink*
Ryou-Oh well, Britney would never like me anyway...she's too spoiled by Justin Timberriver or Timberspring or Timberlake or whatever...*starts to drown* How sad is this...my last thoughts are of another man who's last name sounds like a nature preserve??? *drifts into unconscienous*
Tristan-GOTCHA! *yanks Ryou up into the tiny dingy he is in and gives him CPR until he is revived*
Ryou-*sputtering* Wha-???? Tristan! I thought we sold you!
Tristan-Oh yeah....that's right! You *did* sell me! *throws Ryou back overboard*
Ryou-NOO!! PULL ME BACK IN, YOU OAF! PLEASE! THE SHARK'S CAN
SMELL FEAR!
Tristan-*pulls him back on board* Alright, but only because I'm a nice guy. Now tell me, how did you come to be treading water this far out? Did you see a twinkie? Cuz that happened to me once and the lifeguard yelled at me. He said that a twinkie is not worth dying for. I, of course, disagree...but it's *his* life, not mine. *rolls eyes*
Ryou-*sighs* No, captain moron, I didn't see a twinkie. I got thrown overboard by
Crew THERE-MIGHT-BE-A-STORM-SO-LETS-THROW-THE-SMARTEST-ONE-OFF-THE-BOAT. Now excuse my bitchyness, but I am more than a little peeved right now. I saw my life flash before my eyes out there and it was dull, blank, depressing and short!
Tristan-Now don't be so hard on yourself. You're not short.
Ryou-*scowls* I suppose I deserved that. Now tell me, how is it that you are out here, free, in a dingy, if we sold you on the pier?
Tristan- Simple. I un-sold myself.
Ryou-How??
Tristan- It was easy. I just sang the Spongebob Squarepants theme to my manager until she *gave* me the dingy and shoved me off the dock. Works every time.
Ryou- O_o
Tristan-Yeahhhh, so I've just been floating around. I saw something white in the distance, and after I realized that it was you and not a giant mass of seagull poop, I came to save you. That's how I got here.
Ryou-Well Tristan, you may have the IQ of a loaf of cheese, but you're good in a jam. Thanks.
Tristan- ^___^.........Hey, there are LOAVES of CHEESE!?

-With Crew THERE-MIGHT-BE-A-STORM-SO-LETS-THROW-THE-SMARTEST-ONE-OFF-THE-BOAT-
Yugi-I'm so glad that there wasn't a storm. Storms are pointless. They shouldn't exist.
Yami Malik-You're pointless, but you're still here, now aren't you?
Yugi-Grrrrr....
Joey-Hey dudes, you know what I just realized? Now that Ryou is off the boat, there is only *ONE* girl. *looks at Tea*
Tea- *giggles nervously* Aww yeah, but you guys are nice. I'm sure you won't take advantage of me or anything....right?
Malik & Yami Malik- *cackle in unison*
Yugi-DON'T TOUCH HER, YOU HORNY EGYPTIANS!
Malik-*cracks up* Yami...BAHAHHA...the little weed wacker wants to try and stop us from taking advantage of Tea!
Yami Malik-Like THAT'LL ever happen...
Joey- And I just realized something else...we threw the dumbest and the smartest off the boat. That leaves the middle class! Go us! Go democracy! Go food! *eats sandwich*
Malik-AND we're rid of the Pharaoh. Goodbye, voice of reason!
Yami Malik- *tear* My homie...
Yugi-Hey Tea...*winks* If we throw Joey, Dr. Evil and Mini Me off the boat, we get...you+me=long hours of making out?
Tea-Please Yugi. Who would steer the boat while we kissed?
Yugi-Our love, of course! ^_^
Tea-AWWW *gets big teary anime eyes* HOW KAWAII! You're the perfect man...just perfect! I could kiss you all day!
Yami Malik-*swallows, hard* I'm feeling a sudden urge to DIE DIE! DIE!!! DIE!!!
Malik-I'm feeling a sudden urge to join you.
Suddenly, *since no one was steering* the boat runs up on dry land. Everyone falls over (Yugi "coincidentally" on top of Tea) and lays there recovering from the shock.
Joey-What was that?
Yami Malik-We ran land.
Malik-*stands up, looks over banister to a great beach and jungle before them* It's an island! Looks deserted...
Tea-I don't think there's any point to getting off here...
Yugi- ^_^ I already did "get off."
Tea-*whacks Yugi*
After Malik stops for a pee, everyone agrees that there is no point in staying any longer. They sail off, failing to notice the remains of the Hishnish feast piled into a heap further
down the beach.
Will the crew and the yamis EVER be reunited? Will Ryou stay sane long enough for Tristan to paddle them to dry land? Is Bakura a pyro? Find out next time in WSOTAG.
Till next time...
