Chapter3:[Malik opened his eyes, still looking scared out of his mind. He
sat up, confusion etched into his face]
Malik: W-What happened? I can't sense my Yami anymore.
Shannon: The millennium Sword has the power to destroy other Items, or
paralyze the Yami spirits bound to them.
Malik: You paralyzed my Yami? For how long? And why were you trying to get
us to Egypt if you have the Items with you?
Shannon: I only have the two items I recovered from the pyramids when I was
there a year ago. As for your Yami, he'll stay paralyzed until you become
overly exited or fly into a blind rage. Oh, and by the way, in Egypt I took
pictures of the hieroglyphics, but only one picture turned out decently. It
was about the millennium Rod.
[She handed him the picture, and he read quickly. A grin was quickly
widening on his face. He looked up still smiling, then seemed to remember
something. The smile faded.]
Isis: What is it brother?
Malik: With my-
Kaiba: (grunts)
Malik: THE millennium Rod, I'll be able to separate Yamis from their
aibous. So there would be two bodies, not one shared one.
Joey: Would they be the same, or would we have a big Yug' and a small Yug'?
Malik: I don't know. It doesn't say here.
Isis: How is this done?
[Malik looks from the picture to Shannon, to his sister, then takes his rod
back from Kaiba, who had been polishing it and was reluctant to let it go,
and it turns into a knife when he grips it. He holds it up to point it at
the eye of Anubis YamiBakura's fore head.]
Malik: I would have to stab him through there.
Yugi: Like she did to you? (indicates Shannon).
Malik: Is that what she did? Wow. It was painless, but it felt really cold,
like someone put a bucket of icy water.
YamiBakura: You mean we won't bleed?
Malik: Not a drop. You need to find something else to do with your life.
YamiBakura: Like what? I'm a five thousand year old retired grave robber. I
wonder what kind of job a resume like that will get me.
Joey: Prob'ly a jail occupant.
Bakura: Where am I? What? Oh. Yami says to try the separation thing on
me.whatever that means.
Malik: Lie down on the couch and close your eyes. Wait you need to be Yami
again.
Bakura: O-Okay. Just a second.
Yami Bakura: Ready.
[YamiBakura closes his eyes. Malik aims carefully, and drives the knife
into YamiBakura's fore head. The excitement of stabbing someone cause's
Malik's Yami to stir, and he quickly pulls the knife out of Bakura's head
and raises it over his heart. Tristan leaps over and pulls the rod away
from Malik .]
Joey: Nice move Tristan. Can you guys imagine doing this in the Fed-ex
place?
Malik: He's waking up again.
[Who he meant was unclear because at that moment, Bakura opened his eyes
and another Bakura, YamiBakura, appeared floating beside the couch. He
suddenly dropped to the floor with a crash.]
YamiBakura: That was FUN!
Bakura: What happened, and whose house are we at?
[They explained everything to him while YamiBakura when into the kitchen.]
Shannon: So if one of you dies, the other will be trapped in the millennium
Ring again.
[YamiBakura came out of the kitchen smiling, a steak knife in his hand. He
slit his wrist and began to lick it.]
Bakura: So that were all my cut come from. Eww. Are you sure you're not a
vampire or something?
YamiBakura: (Shrugging) Who cares?
Bakura: ME!
[He finished licking the blood of his knife and went back to his wrist.]
Joey: Where is psycho here gonna stay? There can't be two Bakuras.
Shannon: He could stay here.
YamiBakura: No way! I Stick with Bakura. We have a sort of twisted father-
son relationship.
Bakura: Since when daddy?
YamiBakura: (scowls)
Yugi: We should buy a house.
Tea: Good idea Yugi! Girls claim the basement!
Joey: Good! We get the top.
Malik: Where will we get that much money from?
Bakura: You and Isis can sell your apartment, and the rest of us are old
enough for jobs.
Shannon: speak for yourself. But I'll baby-sit and get a paper root.
Kaiba: I don't want nor need another house. Especially one I have to share
with the Chihuahua, but I'll pay for your appliances, but only because I
owe Yugi a favor.
[So they buy the house, which is pretty big, but really cramped for seven
teens, an adult, and a five thousand-year-old maniac drunk off blood.]
Tea: It sure is cozy. Um, we could buy a triple bunk bed for us and two for
the guys.
{Later.}
[They go to bed and wake up to find bacon and eggs freshly made in the
kitchen. Tea is finishing of the bacon, Shannon is setting the huge table,
and Isis is making pancakes. They all come in drooling. As everyone sits
down and digs in (except YamiBakura, who claims he isn't hungry.) and at
the end of the meal they decide to go hang around at the school, just to
see who else is around. Nobody's there and they start to go home when
Bakura faints. Malik and YamiBakura hold him up and carry him back to the
house.]
Malik: Maybe the separation wasn't a good idea, but I don't know how to
merge them.
YamiBakura: What will happen to him?
Malik: How should I know?
Bakura: Ugh. I don't feel too good.
Yugi: I don't think it's the separation. I think he's gonna be sick!
Bakura: Too.much .bacon!
Malik: This would be reason number one for why I'm a vegetarian.
{Later, after Bakura's bathroom break.}
Bakura: I think I'll be a vegetarian too.
YamiBakura: What a stupid idea! What fun is the world without meat? And
that new food, what was it called?
Joey: You mean you're still in love with my aunt's homemade barbaque sauce?
YamiBakura: Is that what it's called?
Bakura: Anyway, no more bacon for now.
Shannon: Isis? Don't you think we should try to get to Egypt? We may be
able to find clues about the last millennium Item.
Isis: Yes, but the two Bakuras must adjust to separation. Also, we must be
sure my brother is in complete control of his Yami. I am not sure it is a
good idea to bring my brother back home. it may trigger his rage.
Shannon: Lucky him.
Isis: What do you mean by that?
Shannon: We all have to stay on his good side if we don't want to die.
Isis: You make it sound like he's a maniac. He's not crazy. He's a kind but
troubled boy. I fear he may react harshly to Yugi if we were to return to
Egypt. I don't think it would be wise to go back.
Shannon: Just use your Tauk. You'll know if he reacts to anything that way.
Malik: I'm not deaf you know. I can't believe you don't trust me.
Shannon: If someone he cares about is around to comfort him, I'm sure he'll
be fine.
Isis: All right. Contact Kaiba.bh
