Chapter 11
"Huh?" Mai asked as she watched Yami drag Caleia into the store. Yaku, having realized what created the pharaoh's sudden insanity, pointed to the store sign. Mai look at where he was pointing. "Oh!" she said, then it clicked. "Oh god!" But nevertheless, she, Yaku, and Mokuba followed the yami and his daughter.
Yami looked like he was having the time of his life, as he enthusiastically browsed through a rack of leather jackets. But that, of course, didn't surprise many. A very dumbfounded, and slight scared, Caleia stood next to his stupidly, still in shock.
"Umm...F-Father, are you alright?" Caleia asked finally, forgetting that she shouldn't really be calling Yami "Father" in public. Luckily, the other people in the store didn't hear or notice, but Mai and Mokuba did.
"What'd you call him?" Mai questioned skeptically. Caleia and Yaku explained briefly, Yami being too busy at the moment to help explain, and Mai and Mokuba both replied with a simple 'Oh,' being still half confused but understanding enough--enough to know that if they asked further they'd just get confused more, so accept it.
"I don't think calling him Father is the best thing to do, especially in public," Mokuba said.
"Yeah, I mean, you're both physically the same age," Mai added.
"People might get the wrong idea, you know what I mean?" Yaku commented, which got him a smack on the side of the head.
"Shut up!" Caleia sighed as she turned back around to see what Yami was up to. "Where'd he go?" she asked and the others looked around for the currently crazy Yami. He was nowhere in sight.
"Well, my guess is that he either went up or down," Mai said as she pointed out the staircase.
"And I say we go upstairs and pray to the gods he's there," Yaku said as he had been to this store once before, when the two hikaris (Yugi and Ryou) had decided to take their yamis to the mall for the first time and Yami saw this store, and Yaku was now fully aware of what merchandise was on the lower level.
The little group proceeded up the staircase (pretty big leather store, isn't it?) and started looking for signs of Yami. "Oomph!" Caleia made a sound as she found a bunch of leather jackets shoved into her hands.
"Try 'em on!" Yami excitedly said. Caleia took a step and tripped, but fortunately for her, everyone just kinda lunged and caught her before she fell.
"Thanks," she said gratefully.
"C'mon!" Yami urged, growing impatient. "Hurry up 'en try 'em on!" Caleia sighed and dumped the pile out of her hands and into a nearby chair, then picked out one to put on. "Too short," Yami announced as soon as Caleia got the jacket on; so she changed to another one; this one was dark brown.
"Brown? It's not black!" Yami exclaimed, mortified. "No! Un-uh, no way! Try on something else." Mai had her hand on her forehead and shook her head. Yaku rolled his eyes and Mokuba just looked shocked, having never, ever seen Yami like this.
Yami was still freaking out. "Oh my god, how did brown get in there! Oh my--"
"Yami! Calm down! Geta grip of yourself! Mai snapped as she grabbed Yami's arms and pinned them to his back.
"We'll just put this brown one back on the rack, okay, Pharaoh?" Yaku coaxed as he picked up the jacket and took it away. Seriously, no matter how much he resent the pharaoh and would like hardly much more than to provoke him, he wouldn't want to provoke him to be like this, or worse than this. Right now, Yami just scared him, and Yaku would rather have an annoying Yami than a crazy one.
The move luckily worked and Yami calmed down and got a remote semblance of his normal self. He took a couple of deep breaths and Mai let him go. "That one's okay," Yami commented as he saw Caleia, who had another jacket on.
It took another half and hour for them to decide on the best jacket, but at least Yami wasn't jumping up and down, bouncing off the walls, and running around like a crazy, sugar-high five-year-old.
Obviously, when it came to leather, Yami was absolutely obsessed, and very picky. He dismissed first the ones that were, what he says as, "too short for her," her being Caleia, then from the ones left dismissed the ones that were too long, in other words more than two inches past her knees, and of course he had another panic attack when he realized that one of the jackets was not all black and had some brown on it. This time around, he got slapped by both Caleia and Mai to get him back to normalcy. but when that didn't work, they had Yaku drag him out of the store and dunk his head in the fountain.
"Holy shit!" Yami half-shouted as Yaku let his head out of the water. "What was that for?"
You went crazy again," Yaku replied as if the whole incident was nothing out of the ordinary. Yami glared at the white-haired tomb robber, but the former tomb robber took no notice and grinned inwardly to himself. This was definitely one of his days.
The two went back to the store and found the pile of jackets considerably smaller as Caleia, Mokuba, and Mai had frantically went through them and had taken out anything that a) they didn't like, and b) was remotely not black.
Finally, Yami decided on the best one. It was black, obviously, as he wasn't going insane, with a stand up collar, not lose nor excruciatingly tight sleeves, and came down just past Caleia's knees. It looked pretty good on her, but was sort of scary in the fact that it looked like a ever-so-slightly-modified version of one of Yami's jackets.
"Ah! Matching father-daughter!" Yaku cried. He felt something very hard and sharp hit him in the head as Caleia "borrowed" Yami's puzzle and whacked Yaku with it. By instinct, he made a playful snatch at it but all that got him was a fist in the stomach from the former pharaoh.
"MY puzzle!" he snapped. "Hands off, stupid tomb robber!" Yaku looked at the floor and pouted, then looked up at Caleia with puppy-dog eyes. (awwwwww!)
"Awwwwwww, pour Yaku!" Caleia cried and gave him a hug. Yaku whimpered a little and then his face lit up and into a grin. Now it was Yami's turn to look at his feet.
"Hey, where's my hug?" Yami mumbled softly.
"Awwwwww! Poor Daddy!" Caleia cried as she gave Yami a hug too. Surprised by the title, Yami took a second before he returned the hug and smiled.
Mokuba and Mai were giggling to themselves at the scene but stopped suddenly and turned to see what Yami's eyes had suddenly fixed upon.
"Oh no!" Mai and Mokuba said together.
"Caleia, what size shoe do you wear?" Yami asked slyly.
"Uhh...usually a 7-7 1/2, I guess," Caleia replied, confused. A childish grin spread on Yami's face like wildfire as he grabbed Caleia's wrist again and dragged her off towards the shoe section.
"Ahhhhh!" Caleia cried as she tried to break Yami's death grip and escape. Mokuba tried to come to her rescue by grabbing her other wrist, but Yami just pulled him along too. Yaku tried to help by trying to trip Yami but instead, Yami jumped over the outstretched leg and Yaku ended up with doing nothing more than tripping Caleia and Mokuba and having them pile on him when they fell. Yami was still, now literally, dragging them along. Mai, seeing no point of risking her own safety to try to rescue them from Yami, a battle she knew she would lose, calmly followed the moving pile of people.
After an excruciating minute that seemed like a hour, especially to Caleia who thought her arm was going to come clean out of its socket,(and Yaku who had people fall on him where nothing should ever fall) Yami finally dragged them to the other side of the store where shoes were.
"Thank Ra!" Caleia said exasperatingly as she got up off Yaku. She rubbed her wrist, elbow, and shoulder, then her collarbone where the Millennium Ring had been threatening to pierce the skin with one of its sharp lil triangle thingies. "Ow. I'd say that stunt earned him one from us for payback," she said quietly enough so that Yami couldn't hear her. Mokuba, Mai, and especially Yaku, nodded in agreement.
By this time, Yami had picked out boots for Caleia, and they fit, so that was left alone and Caleia paid for that as well as the jacket.
"Okay, now can we go?" she asked Yami as the cashier handed her the shopping bag.
"No," Yami chirped simply as he darted down the stairs before anyone else got a word out. The others followed him and went down the flight of stairs just in time to see him dart down the one beside it.
"Oh no!" Mai, Mokuba, and Yaku said together as they knew what was downstairs.
"Oh no what?" Caleia asked as they inevitably had to follow Yami downstairs. This floor looked like a miscellaneous section with anything from furniture to toys. Caleia spotted Yami as Yaku pointed him out. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed.
"Did I mention there was a weapons section in this store? Yaku merely asked, pointing out the obvious.
"NO!" Caleia retorted.
"Not this again!" Mai said as she spotted Yami. "Yaku, you stopped him last time, you have to do it again."
"That was with using Yugi as a shield so Yami wouldn't attack!"
"Too bad," Mai announced as she moved the whole group along towards where Yami was.
"He he--he he--great..." Mokuba said sarcastically. The group slauntered over, wary of what was going to happen next.
Yami took down one of the whips from the wall and cracked it expertly.
"Yami...put the whip down," Yaku coaxed.
"No," Yami replied like a little kid as he snapped the whip right above their heads.
"Ahh!" Mokuba screamed and ran a safe distance away.
But before the others could react, Yami snapped the whip again, this time as their shins, forcing them to react. Caleia and Yaku jumped and rolled away in opposite directions while Mai jumped back and went over with Mokuba. Yami laughed sinisterly as he kept trying to hit the two rolling people, mainly Yaku.
"C'mon, tomb robber, I know you can do better than that!" he said to Yaku. Finally, the whip found its target and hit Yaku in the shoulder. Yaku yelped, then found that he had accidentally rolled to a corner, effectively cornering himself. He got up and rubbed his shoulder, which stung, but at least wasn't bleeding or anything as Yami retained enough control to not have the whip cut the other yami's shirt or skin. Yami raised his arm to prepare to strike again. Yaku raised his hands to protect himself, preparing for what seemed inevitable.
He heard the crack of the whip and everything seemed like slow motion as Yami's arm came down. It seemed to take forever for the whip to strike him--then he realized why. Yaku looked up and saw that another ship had entangled itself to the end of the one Yami was holding. The other whip was in the hands of Caleia.
Yami looked over his shoulder and Caleia and him both grinned. With a yank, Caleia forced Yami to turn around, or get his arm ripped off, and face her. With another flick of her wrist she untangled her whip and struck out at Yami in one fluid motion. He blocked the attack with his own whip.
"I presume you still remember your weapons training," Yami said slyly.
"I wouldn't dare forget." And with that, Caleia lashed out with the whip. Yami blacked her attack and sent one of his own, which Caleia dodged by going down on her stomach. From the ground she snapped her whip onto Yami's leg and yanked, sending him sprawling onto the ground.
There was a crack from a third whip and Yami barely managed to defend himself from the blow by Yaku. Without letting Yaku untangle the whips, Yami got up onto his feet. He then untangled his whip and attacked, all in one smooth, fluid motion. Caleia got up and joined the fight, getting smacked on the cheek by Yami's whip lightly when she was not ready to defend.
"Ow!" she said lightly as her attention went way up and she really joined the fight.
The three moved as if in a dance, but Yami was very quickly losing ground against the other two who were bent on disarming him. They had resorted to more violence now, delivering blows that cut the skin slight. Yami sported a shallow cut on his hand while Yaku had one on his collarbone. Caleia was relatively unharmed as Yami didn't really want to hurt her in any way and Yaku was on her side, but did wear a cut on her shoulder from a missed blow by Yaku at Yami that hit her instead. She had snapped the ship on Yaku's back lightly to warn him to pull a stunt like that again. He complied.
After a minute or so, Yaku and Caleia finally proved too much for Yaku. It took that long, of course, because they weren't aiming at killing him--that would have taken much shorter. But anyway, Yaku successfully snapped his whip around Yami's wrist and Caleia to his whip. They pulled at the same time, which made Yami lose his grip. Caleia grabbed the other whip and snapped, announcing Yami's defeat. Yami tired to grab another one with his free hand but Caleia stopped him with her whip.
Mai and Mokuba now came back, seeing that it was safe. Mai grabbed Yami's ear and pulled him towards the stairs.
"oww, ow, ow," Yami stuttered as he reluctantly followed Mai. Mokuba went with them, followed by Yaku.
"You coming?" Yaku asked Caleia as she gathered the whips back up.
"Yeah, I'll be right out. I'm gonna put these back," she replied.
"Okay, hurry up, we'll make sure he stays out of the store." 'He,' of course, referred to Yami.
About five minutes later Caleia came out, sporting a new, smaller shopping bad in addition to the large one containing her jacket and boots.
"You bought something?" Yaku questioned. He took the bag and looked at the contents. It was a whip. Yaku looked at Caleia, surprised and amused.
"Ah-HEM! Yami said as he looked too. Mai look also, then Mokuba.
"Hey! Who knows, maybe it'll come in handy," Caleia said. They all started laughing.
Mokuba made a mental note to himself to remember to tell Seto.

Yami looked over his shoulder and Caleia and him both grinned. With a yank, Caleia forced Yami to turn around, or get his arm ripped off, and face her. With another flick of her wrist she untangled her whip and struck out at Yami in one fluid motion. He blocked the attack with his own whip.
"I presume you still remember your weapons training," Yami said slyly.
"I wouldn't dare forget." And with that, Caleia lashed out with the whip. Yami blacked her attack and sent one of his own, which Caleia dodged by going down on her stomach. From the ground she snapped her whip onto Yami's leg and yanked, sending him sprawling onto the ground.
There was a crack from a third whip and Yami barely managed to defend himself from the blow by Yaku. Without letting Yaku untangle the whips, Yami got up onto his feet. He then untangled his whip and attacked, all in one smooth, fluid motion. Caleia got up and joined the fight, getting smacked on the cheek by Yami's whip lightly when she was not ready to defend.
"Ow!" she said lightly as her attention went way up and she really joined the fight.
The three moved as if in a dance, but Yami was very quickly losing ground against the other two who were bent on disarming him. They had resorted to more violence now, delivering blows that cut the skin slight. Yami sported a shallow cut on his hand while Yaku had one on his collarbone. Caleia was relatively unharmed as Yami didn't really want to hurt her in any way and Yaku was on her side, but did wear a cut on her shoulder from a missed blow by Yaku at Yami that hit her instead. She had snapped the ship on Yaku's back lightly to warn him to pull a stunt like that again. He complied.
After a minute or so, Yaku and Caleia finally proved too much for Yaku. It took that long, of course, because they weren't aiming at killing him--that would have taken much shorter. But anyway, Yaku successfully snapped his whip around Yami's wrist and Caleia to his whip. They pulled at the same time, which made Yami lose his grip. Caleia grabbed the other whip and snapped, announcing Yami's defeat. Yami tired to grab another one with his free hand but Caleia stopped him with her whip.
Mai and Mokuba now came back, seeing that it was safe. Mai grabbed Yami's ear and pulled him towards the stairs.
"oww, ow, ow," Yami stuttered as he reluctantly followed Mai. Mokuba went with them, followed by Yaku.
"You coming?" Yaku asked Caleia as she gathered the whips back up.
"Yeah, I'll be right out. I'm gonna put these back," she replied.
"Okay, hurry up, we'll make sure he stays out of the store." 'He,' of course, referred to Yami.
About five minutes later Caleia came out, sporting a new, smaller shopping bad in addition to the large one containing her jacket and boots.
"You bought something?" Yaku questioned. He took the bag and looked at the contents. It was a whip. Yaku looked at Caleia, surprised and amused.
"Ah-HEM! Yami said as he looked too. Mai look also, then Mokuba.
"Hey! Who knows, maybe it'll come in handy," Caleia said. They all started laughing.
Mokuba made a mental note to himself to remember to tell Seto.
