Yami and the Poppable Pool
Disclaimer: I dun own any of the characters. None. Note one. Except for the shark. His name is Roman Noodles.
Gomen gomen, for taking so long to get this chapter up. I found that I only had half of it typed, and then we went to Kentucky over Spring Break to visit some cousins of mine. Then I had 3 essays due in various classes... but it's here now, ne?
*****
"Swimming?"
"Yes, Yami, we are going to go swimming." Yugi had finally been talked into blowing up his pool and having a swim party, against his better judgment. "Ryou, Bakura, Joey, Tristan, and Tea are all coming over. Grandpa is going to barbeque some steaks. We'll need them.
"Swimming?!" Yami was having trouble comprehending this. He hadn't been swimming for over 5000 yrs. Even when he was pharaoh he mostly just watched other people swim, and that was only when he got mad at someone and threw them in the river; he enjoyed watching them try to escape the crocodiles.
"Yup. Here you go." Yugi tossed Yami a pair of swimming trunks. Yami didn't even try to catch them; they landed on his head. He seemed to come back to earth then and snatched them off again.
"I don't swim."
Yugi looked up from the drawer he was digging in.
"Well, you either swim or drown, so you better learn soon."
Yami scowled.
"Yami." Yugi had a dangerously innocent look on his face, "you do know how to swim don't you?"
"Of course. I had the best swimming instructor in Egypt. I.just need.a little.practice."
"Well you better start practicing soon. The gangs gonna be here in half an hour."
"Thanks for the early notice."
Yami walked out of the room to change and reappeared minutes later, ready.
"C'mon. Lets go."
He practically carried Yugi to the pool and threw him in. Yugi thoroughly enjoyed his flight.
"WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
Yugi hit the water with a splash. Yami, however, was slightly hesitant. He climbed up the ladder and slowly climbed down the other side until the water was up to his waist.
"Okay, I think that's enough for me." He turned, "I'm just going to go back inside and-"
"Yami."
"Fine."
The Pharaoh climbed the rest of the way down the ladder. For Yugi, the water was up to his chin, but taking in account the considerable height difference, it only went up to Yami's chest.
"See look, you can even touch the bottom."
"I know."
Yugi grinned.
"Why are you-", Yami's question was cut off as a large amount of water was suddenly thrown at his face. He choked on it and Yugi was laughing. Yami, quickly regaining his composure, splashed back at Yugi, who ducked.
"Missed me!"
Yugi, although small, could sure make some big splashes. Yami had two disadvantages of 1) not knowing how to swim underwater yet and 2) not really wanting to be there in the first place. But, he was still, putting up an excellent fight.
Joey was the first to come.
"BONZAI!"
The water fight was temporarily put on hold as a tidal wave washed over them. Yami, not being too happy about swallowing yet another mouthful of water, gave Joey a faceful of it as soon as her resurfaced. And the game continued.
Tea and Tristan came next, followed closely by Ryou and Bakura. Bakura apparently did know how to swim. That was a good thing to know how to do... being a formerly wanted tomb robber and all. And the first thing he did when he entered the pool was dive underwater.
"Where'd he-" Yami suddenly was jerked underwater. A whole lot of splashing ensued. When he finally came up, everyone began laughing. Bakura laughed so hard he fell back under, gagging and sputtering.
"WHAT IS SO FUNNY?!"
Yugi decided now was not a good time to be sarcastic.
"Well..." he giggled, "your hair."
Yami's hair, which was normally spiked high above his head, didn't seem to like to get splashed and dunked. It was no longer up; it was now hanging down below his shoulders in multi-colored waved. Yugi's hair too, had gone limp, but this just had the effect of making him look cuter than usual.
Yami, however, was not amused.
Bakura, was not going to be for long.
"Sehwer choo reri!" (A/N- 'Curse you, pig' for people who have a life and aren't attempting to learn Egyptian).
"What did you just call me?!"
Everybody else just blinked.
Bakura and Yami were just about to kill each other, so Grandpa decided to now was a good time to interfere.
"You forgot the rings, Yugi" He dumped a bag full of rings, sticks, noodles, and other miscellaneous pool toys into the water. Yami immediately seized a noodle and began to beat Bakura over the head.
"Yami! If you hit ANYONE with ANYTHING you have to get out of the pool..."
Yami, seeing this as a means of escape, raised the noodle again.
"...and help me with the barbecue."
He froze in mid-swing. Yami scowled and dropped the noodle. He had some bad experiences with fire before... it turns out hair, along with paper, clothes, and skin, is quite flammable.
"Fine."
"And that goes for the rest of you too." Grandpa added, catching Bakura's devious smirk.
Tea made a raft of sorts out of the noodles and lay with her eyes closed. Joey and Tristan were both turning blue trying to see who could stay underwater the longest. Yugi and Ryou were diving for rings and Bakura was swimming around, pulling anyone under who stayed still too long. A plastic toy shark apparently fascinated Yami.
"Aibou, what does this do?" Yami asked holding it up.
"You throw it like this and it dives." Yugi demonstrated, gently throwing the shark, which dove underwater and swam the length of the pool.
"Ooohhh! Neat!"
He took the shark back and threw it as hard as he could at the water. Unfortunately, Bakura happened to be swimming past that point that exact moment. The shark hit him at a very high speed; right above his left eyed. He resurfaced quite quickly and opened his mouth, but Ryou gave him 'the look', and he closed it again before thinking, then screaming in Ancient Egyptian.
Ryou threw up his hands, giving up.
Bakura did not like being hit. Bakura did not like bleeding. Bakura did not like Yami. He threw to shark back as hard as he could. Yami did have the sense to duck. Normally, this wouldn't pose a problem, but since Bakura had thrown the shark, it had quite a bit of power behind it when it hit the side if the pool.
"Uh-oh."
A very large whirlpool appeared, sucking everyone except Yami, Bakura, and Ryou out of the pool, who had managed to stand their ground, only moving a few inches, Grandpa picked his way around the bodies laying in the yard, checking to see if everyone was still alive or didn't need medical help.
Ryou looked at Bakura, who was staring as if fascinated at the huge mess he had created.
"Yami started it." He pointed at Yami, who was glaring at him.
"I do think your bleeding." Though, Ryou didn't seem too worried about it.
***
Bakura didn't have to have stitches. He did NOT trust doctors and did NOT like the idea of people sticking needles in his head. He only had to walk around with two giant butterfly bandages for a good month. The shark was banned from the pool...well...any other pool they might go to.
*****
Just to let you know, the whole shark incident DID happen in real life. This is now why I have a scar on my forehead. Hikari Kira, Kylie my friend, threw it at me. Two seconds later "OH MY GOD! I THINK I KILLED HER!" Then I just stood up and looked at the pink water growing around me. "I think I'm bleeding."
Yea, not cool to say the least.
So wacha think of this chapter. 5 PAGES! *clunk* Now click the pretty Go! button and review, if you want the next chapter up faster. I just rhymed...oh well. ^__^
