Nefuit: *glares at Malik*

Malik: What did I do now?

Ryou: If I were you, I wouldn't talk to her that way..

Malik: And why not?

Ryou: *Pulls out a wallet photo of Yami Bakura and Yami Malik at a tea party* She forced them to do this for talking back.

Malik: They wouldn't give in that easily, what was the catch?

Ianoo: *pulling out another wallet sized photo* Because of this! *Shows a picture of both Yami's cuddling with teddy bears they stole from Yugi and sucking their thumbs*

Malik: *snickers* Where can I get copies? Black mail, that is my style! I have a greater respect for you now!

Nefuit: Peachy.

Yugi: Those teddies are mine!

Malik: Nefuit does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! (under his breath: Thank Re!) however she does own Kat/Ianoo, her poem, and her plot.

The other hoping to bring the world into a brawl

"Where are you going?" Ryou gasped as he stumbled along side Ianoo.

"We have to tell Yugi we will be out of school for a while!" Ianoo explained, slowing down in front of the Turtle Game Shop.

"We could have just used the phone." Ryou mumbled.

"But that would be so impersonal!" Ianoo shot back as she opened the door and hurriedly shoved Ryou in, knocking him face flat on the floor. That seemed to happen a lot.

"Oh, my deepest apologies Ryou. I just don't want to miss our flight." Ianoo sincerely said as she extended her hand to help Ryou up. Ryou grabbed it and just smirked slyly and jerked her down with him.

Ianoo realized this as she fell and made sure she fell on top of the teen. His Yami was starting to have a visible influence on him. Both teens gasped in pain, looked at each other, and started laughing.

"Kids these days." A puzzled Yugi's Grampa sighed, restocking shelves.

"What the-" Yugi said, dropping a box of gaming cards on his foot at the sight of two teens in a mangled heap, obviously in pain; yet laughing.

"Yugi! How many times do I have to tell you to be careful with the merchandise!" Grampa scolded. Yugi ignored him and ran confusedly to the two on the floor. He then offered them his hand, and Ryou again smirked.

"No Yugi!" Ianoo yelped. But it was too late. Yugi joined the heap on the floor, shocked at the two's behavior.

Before any of them could get to their feet, they heard a voice.

"We're here Yug!" Jou called out, quickly walking through the Game Shop's doors.

"Look out Jou!" Ianoo yelled. But it was once again too late. Jou tripped and joined the heap as well as the trailing Anzu and Honda. Ianoo cried out from the pressure on her rib.

"Please, everyone get up!" Ryou said in a panic.

Jou Anzu and Honda happily obliged and hopped up with ease. Jou then pulled a stunned Yugi up and Ryou jumped up in panic mode.

"Ianoo! Are you all right?" Ryou looked down at his friend who was twitching and did the only thing he could think of. Ryou bent down and gently lifted her, preparing to carry her to the hospital.

"Ianoo? Who the heck is Ianoo?" Honda asked, highly confused. Ryou ignored his friend's question.

"You Baka." Ianoo said softly, only a small hint of discomfort in her voice. "I CAN stand." Ryou gently set his friend down in relief. He new she was only joking. Sometimes she even called him "Bakaura" just to annoy him; it usually worked. Ryou was overcome by dizziness and started to fall from the concussion his Yami had left him.

Ianoo caught Ryou and gently set him into a near by chair. He quickly recovered. Over the ten-minute antics, Yugi and the others stared at them, not knowing what to think. Ianoo caught their glances.

"It's a long story." She sighed, not wanting to explain.

"Well, we have plenty of time." Anzu said.

"Sorry to say, we don't." Ianoo replied, receiving quizzical glances.

"We are leaving in." Ryou stopped to check his watch, "twenty minutes for the airport." He now stood, but Ianoo forced him down. He glared at her, but got a warning look back from the worried friend.

"Back up. We find you two gasping in pain on the floor, yet laughing maniacally. I can tell your injuries are serious and Ryou is talking about some non-existent person called Ianoo. Now you are leaving?" A highly, some unknown emotion, Yugi summed up his little known information.

"I am Ianoo." Ianoo stated.

"No, you told us you were Kat." Honda said.

"You nimrod! That must not be her real name!" Jou said, surprising the others with his insight.

Ianoo sighed, preparing for a long explanation. "We don't have the time, Ianoo." Ryou had noticed her oncoming speech and blocked it, to Ianoo's delight.

"The basics are that me and Ianoo have slight injuries and we are leaving to go to Egypt." Obviously Ryou's sentences were ran together; leaving the others to wonder why they couldn't just get their injuries mended in a hospital in Japan.

"I will write often, explaining the details. I don't know how long it will be before we return!" Ianoo yelled out as Ryou literally dragged her off; leaving their friends staring strangely at them.

"What just happened?" Anzu asked, breaking the silence. Everyone else just shrugged.

"Really, Ryou, if you don't slow down, you are sure to faint. You dolt!" Ianoo gasped, adding the dolt in to get his attention. Unfortunately all he did was shoot her a warning glance and speed up. Ianoo glanced at her watch and saw why, it was seven after nine.

"Father..Will.Kill..Me." Was all Ryou could manage through heavy breaths.

As the house came into view, the two noticed Ryou's father loading up the car. Luckily, he didn't notice their tardiness.

"Ah, just in time! Hop in." The two teens did as they were told. They reached the airport and boarded their flight.

Considering Ianoo and Ryou were terrified of heights, the flight went fairly well. Both of the picky teens rejected their airplane food, getting a sigh from Mister Bakura who had grown accustomed to it. The plane landed after several hours of chatting and napping; the chatting between the sixteen-year-olds and all the napping done by a snoring elder Bakura. Ryou and Ianoo laughed at this and the annoyed stares of the other passengers.

Once off the flight, the father quickly pulled his son and Ianoo aside into a dark corner.

"Listen, this is very important. I want you two to stick together at all times, no matter what." He looked at Ianoo and continued. "The attitude of most Egyptians has changed over the past month, and even seemingly old friends may very well be new enemies. I trust you to choose your decisions wisely, Kat." Ryou's father finished; he still called her Kat. He then shooed them off to explore while he attended to some business.

"Now what?" Ryou asked, completely lost amongst the crowded, complex streets of Cairo.

"If you don't mind," Ianoo said, tugging at Ryou, "I have a certain Egyptian to find." Ianoo smiled happily, her first real smile that Ryou had ever witnessed.

Nefuit: Sorry for it's shortness, but I had a perfect stopping point so I took up the offer.

I am trying to make this story more believable by following the anime and manga a bit, and I want to apologize for the alterations made, even though I have heard no complaints. Malik's father was killed when he was ten, not sixteen. Although he had the rod at that time which makes no sense since it should have still be locked in the wall, along with Pegasus' eye. Why? Yugi didn't solve the puzzle until he was sixteen or so; a freshman at a Japanese school. The items were locked into a wall guarded by Shadi until the completed puzzle unlocked them. See what I mean?

Ryou: How confusing.

Nefuit: I know. Ignore me.

Malik: No problem. *catches Nefuit's death glare* I seem to get that a lot.

Ryou: Please R&R!
