Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, a lot of ideas in this fic, Golem, Walden books, or After Thoughts, or Toys R US. I own nothing. Okay I own something.
Chapter4
The Mall
Yugi sat in the car staring back at his other. Ryou glanced over and giggled slightly.
"You really like him, don't you." Ryou said.
"Ya. I do." Yugi said turning around.
"You should write a letter to Santa Claus." Ryou did not believe in Santa anymore, but Yugi was still ten and believed a lot, including that Santa Claus was real. (A/N: you know what? I still believe in Santa Claus. I'm 13 years old.)
"Ya." Yugi giggled.
They arrived at the mall shortly. They all climbed out of the car and took off. Ryou and Yami took the upper part of the mall, and Yugi and Bakura took the bottom. They had an hour before they were to meet back at the food court.
Ryou and Yami walked along the rows of stores. There was a stern silence between them. Ryou decided to break the silence.
"What are you going to get Yugi?" Ryou asked.
"I don't know." Yami replied.
"Well what do you know about him?" Ryou asked.
"I know he loves plushies, he loves dueling, he is really cute, his fave monster is the dark magician…" Ryou cut off Yami.
"You said he was cute. You like your hikari don't you!?" Ryou said giggling.
"Um… of course not. Er… why would I like my hikari… that's stupid…" Yami said.
"You do don't you. Yami likes Yugi. Yami Likes Yugi." Ryou started singing.
"Shut up. So what if I do. You can't tell any one. GOT IT!" Yami said.
"I Know. Cool it. Allright you said he likes plushies right. Well then I think I know just what to get him. Come on." Ryou said changing the subject. He was still giggling though.
He grabbed Yami's wrist and dragged him to a storefront. It was called 'Plushies R.S.' They entered the shop and Yami headed toward where he saw the Dark Magician plushies. It was near the back. As he headed back there his eyes fell upon a person. Not just anyone though. It was Malik. He was standing in the back huggling plushies. Yami walked toward him and Malik turned hearing Yami's footsteps.
"My Plushies!" Malik said trying to imitate Golem. "They're all mine, My precious." He slinked away still huggling the plushies. Yami looked at him like he was nuts before Ryou came up behind him.
"Was that Malik over there?" Ryou asked.
"I think so?!" Yami said.
"Is he high or something?"
"Probably." Yami said calmly.
"Hey, you find anything yet?" Ryou asked.
"Not quite. What about this?" Yami asked pulling a Dark Magician plushy of the shelf.
"Yah, it's cute." Ryou said.
"You know what I know just what to get him to go along with it." Yami said.
"All right, lets pay first then we can go." Ryou said.
"Okay." Yami agreed. They paid for the plushy and headed out. Yami brought them to a store called 'After Thoughts' He headed Straight to the back and found a rack of necklaces. He looked at the lockets till he found one that was perfect. It was shaped like a heart with a pink bead in the center. He paid for it and dressed the dark magician in it.
"That's cool." Ryou said.
"Ya think that Yugi will like it?" Yami asked.
"Ya, of course." Ryou replied. "Do you know what I could get Bakura?"
"Um… Ya I think I do. Come on its in a book store near here." Yami answered. He dragged him out of the store and down the walkway toward a bookstore. Ryou looked up at the sign above the doors. 'Walden Book's' it read in bold white letters.
He didn't get to see the rest for he was dragged in and down three isles before Yami finally stopped in front of a bookshelf with a load of old looking books. Some had been scorched on the edges, some were torn, and others, covered in mud. On the bottom row however there were a few newer looking books. Ryou ducked down and looked at the new ones. They were dictionaries, Egyptian to English. Ryou picked one up and looked over it.
"This is great. My Yami will love this!" Ryou exclaimed. "Thanks Yami."
"Your welcome." Yami said. "Hey check this one out." Yami pulled an old tattered book off the shelf. The title was written in hieroglyphs. Actually the whole book was in Hieroglyphs. "It's a book on slavery in ancient Egypt. You know Bakura was a slave 5,000 years ago. He's been a slave since he was 2. That's when his mother died. His father hated kids and sold him." Yami said
"Wow I didn't know that. He was a slave at age 2. Harsh." Ryou said.
"Ya, it was rough but. That's life. They pushed the young slaves hardest. Poor Bakura was the youngest there. They wanted him to be strong so they pushed him as far as they could. He rebelled though. He became a tomb robber and got arrested. They brought him to me. I was Pharaoh then. My mother and father were dead. My advisors told me what to do. Was forced to obey them for I was too young. They told me to banish him forever for disobeying our laws. I did as told. I banished him to the ring. But I too disobeyed them, I didn't banish him forever. Thanks to you he's returned. He's lucky." Yami said.
"I never new that. How come he never told me that?" Ryou asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he forgot. Its possible." Yami said.
"Ya or maybe he wanted to forget." Ryou said. He looked down at the book. "I think I'll get this but not for Bakura. I want to learn more." Ryou said.
"Good idea. Now come on. We need to meet up with Yugi and Bakura downstairs." Yami said.
"Ya, I know. Just let me pay for this stuff first okay." Ryou said
"Yep. But hurry." Yami said. Ryou paid the clerk for the books and they left heading toward the food court. "What am I going to do about Yugi?" Yami asked.
"Um… I know, you could write a letter to Santa Clause." Ryou said.
"To who?" Yami asked.
"To Santa Clause. Its tradition that children write letters to Santa Clause and ask for whatever it is hat they want most that year. Usually they get their wish." Ryou said.
"Are you serious." Yami asked.
"Yep I am." Ryou said.
"That's cool. Maybe I will try it." Yami said. They sped up toward the food court. When they got there they found the table that Yugi and Bakura were sitting at. Bakura had a large soda and appeared to be getting very hyper. Yugi was sitting as far away from the spirit as he could while still managing to stay at the table.
"YAMI!!!!!!! I thought I told you no more soda after the last time. Shoot." Ryou said.
"Awww. Ryou mad. Me make all better." Bakura said. He took the muffin from next to him and stuffed it in Ryou's mouth. Sighing Ryou ate it.
"Never again." Ryou mumbled. "Never again."
They decided it was time to go. Yami picked Yugi up for he was about to fall asleep anyhow. They walked toward the car. Yugi did fall asleep. Right in Yami's arms. Yami looked down at the child and smiled.
"Good night my little tenshi*." Yami said kissing Yugi gently on the forehead.
Thank you for reading. I owe a few people shout outs.
Escuro de la Lus: thanks I hope you like this one. It is sure to have romance as you can see.
Kugi Ra Muto: nope sorry I don't write R/B. Malik is in it.
Diamond: Here I did continue. Thanks for reviewing.
That's all. Bye, Bye.
Tenshi* = angel in Japanese. Just in case you wanted to know.
