Whee! Finally at the 10th chapter! I'l try to throw in something better in this fic, because we need some random insanity. Of course, Bandit Keith makes his appearance in this chapter, and I plan on having other people show up as well. Someone asked me "why bandit keith?" when addressing Kaiba's infatuation. Well... why not? I'm not going for practical, ya know. I just wanted someone who could be a major asshole and get away with it. In other stuff, let me see, we've got Yugi, Jounouchi, and Honda so far who haven't hooked up with somebody. Malik got dropped, too, huh. Not to mention that Yami didn't have things go the way he wanted... I'm trying to make it so that everybody ends up with somebody (except I'm not sure about Honda... I'm not positive that he needs to reproduce...). Then again, I might just let the story end up in a stale mate ad kill characters off (less to worry about, ya know), so I really haven't made up my mind. In only know what's going to happen up to chapter 11, which will be dedicated to Honda, because he's always looked over. Sorry about rambling. I needed to get my thoughts together so that I know what I'm doing. Anywho, time for the fic.
The day had passed quickly, Ishtar claimed the bed (which he more than willingly shared with Bakura), Yami got the couch, and the stragglers claimed what was left of pillows and whatever else there was. Mokuba and Ryou never did come out of the closet, probably fell asleep in there or something. Kaiba had a hard time sleeping because he knew that the next day, his dream guy would be standing at the door. Sure, Keith had no idea that Kaiba was drooling all over him, but the ex CEO was sure that he would soon get what he ever so desired.
The morning approached soon enough, and everybody seemed to be up and doing their daily stuff. Bakura had devised his newest plan in the 'seduce Jounouchi' project, and was soon going to put it in motion. After having a 'strategic conference' with Ishtar, they set off to get everything ready in this newest, most devious plan. Ishtar (who I'm now going to refer to as Marik, just because the name Ishtar is starting to wear on me) had put gum in the bathroom lock. Now, when Jounouchi went to take his shower, the two sexy bishounen would be able to gain access without the complications of lock picking and such. Once inside the shower with a naked Jounouchi, well, you can imagine the possibilities.
Speaking of which, Jounouchi sat in front of the wall angrily. His favorite made up soap opera character hadn't ended up with the chick he wanted, so he had destroyed his imaginary television. Now he was without a way of entertaining himself, so he just stared at the wall blankly. Out of boredom, he decided to go take a shower. It had been a while since he last had one, so he wasn't smelling all too pleasant. I'm sure you'd be the same way, too, if you didn't have any running hot water! Geez, give him some credit! As he hauled himself off to the bathroom, Bakura and Marik scurried off after him, waiting to surprise the blonde with what they had in store for him.
Yugi was sitting on the floor with his Yami, and was trying to teach his darker half how to make a superb dish towel. Sure, he'd probably never be as good at knitting as Ryou, but he did a damn spiffy job, if he were to say so himself. Yami didn't like the idea of pearling and knitting. Crap, what was the difference?! He would have preferred doing something else like watching television, but because of damn Jounouchi, theirs was broken, and none of them had enough imagination to get a new one. So he sat there doing his best with the row of knots he had made, hoping they would pass for a dish towel.
Meanwhile, Mokuba and Ryou were having a splendid time in their closet. It was Mokuba's great idea to adopt it as their apartment within the apartment, and had already put a mailbox up outside of the door. Ryou had been busy inside, and had hung up many pretty doilies he had made, and had talked Bakura into drawing a mural on one of the walls. He wasn't too happy with the depiction of a stick Jou being sandwiched, so he had covered that up with one of his home made sweaters. Now all they needed was some furnishing (one of those big bean bags, preferably), and it would be fit to live in.
Kaiba paced in front of the door, waiting for his big American pookie to come skipping through, but he was already a fashionably three hours late. Dammit, how long could it possibly take for him to get there? Finally, there was a loud knock at the door. Kaiba opened it hastily.
"Hey there my- ANZU?!"
Anzu stood at the door smiling. "Hi, Kaiba, I needed to ask you a question."
"Wait one second!" Kaiba made a mad rush to the kitchen and took out a plastic knife. He had been waiting for the chance to take the bitch down, and now was his chance. There was no way he was going to let it go to waste. He rushed back to the door.
"Yeah?"
"Okay, you know that big red button in the lab that says 'Don't Push?' Yeah, well, what happens, say if you pushed it, everything in the building started exploding, and it kind of, er, collapsed?"
".... You destroyed my company...."
"Technically, it's not your company anymore, but.... yeah."
"..........."
"Kaiba?"
"I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!!!!"
As Kaiba lunged at Anzu, plastic knife in hand, Yami bashed him out of the way.
"Anzu?! What the hell are you doing here?"
"Oh, hi Yami! Just came to ask some stuff."
"Look, you aren't supposed to be here. Ya see, this is a fic about the guys, meaning you aren't supposed to show up."
"Why?"
"Because your face kills people. Please go away."
"Okie dokey!"
Anzu then skipped off to her obliterated company as Yami shut the door. Kaiba stared at him with absolute hatred.
"Why did you stop me?!"
"Stop you?"
"I was about to kill Anzu and have my revenge before you shoved me out of the way!"
"You were?! Oh gee... crap... er, sorry?"
Kaiba just glared at him before plopping on the couch, which angered him even more to see that the TV was gone. So far everything was going completely wrong, and it totally sucked. When he thought all hope was lost, there was another knock at the door. Kaiba picked up his plastic knife once more. Now Anzu was really going to get it. He opened the door and lunged at the victim... only to be smacked ten feet back into the wall behind him.
"What the hell you think you're doin' short stack?"
Kaiba looked up to see none other than his beloved Bandit Keith smoking a bong as he strode into the dinky apartment.
"Crap, and I thought I lived in a shit hole. This place sucks ass!" Keith exhaled the smoke. Yugi and Yami had stopped what they were doing to look at the outsider in awe. Mokuba and Ryou came out of their closet, Malik sat in the corner looking pissed, and Honda stood where the imaginary TV used to be, also looking pissed. The only people missing were Jounouchi, Marik, and Bakura, but we all know what they're doing. Anywho, Keith surveyed his new roommates.
"Ah shit. I just walked into a gay house, didn't I?" Nobody said anything, but just stared at the bandit it wonder, unless they were Malik or Honda. They just stared at him angrily. Keith plopped onto the couch and looked at the wall blankly.
"Dude, what the hell do you do for entertainment around this place anyway?"
Yugi smiled at him. "Well, Yami and I are knitting dish towels!"
"... I shouldn't have asked..."
Kaiba took it upon himself to make his move. Here Keith was, in his apartment, sitting on his couch, looking at his wall; I mean, this was the perfect opportunity to win over Keith's heart. Kaiba swallowed down his fear and walked over to where he sat.
"Hey, Keith, I really hope you like it here and I just want you to know that I-"
"Move it, ass whipe! You're blocking my view of the wall!"
"Oh... okay..." Kaiba stepped to the side, as not to block the non existent scenery.
A few minutes later, Bakura and Marik walked into the room gloomily and plopped on the couch next to Keith. Once again, their 'seduce Jounouchi' project had failed. Everything had started out well enough, being able to walk into the bathroom with ease and climbing into the shower. It was after that everything went wrong. It was when entering the shower that they had realized that Jounouchi apparently bathed with his clothes on as to do his laundry and clean himself at the same time. This, of course, wasn't their biggest concern, since the disappearance of clothes is quite easy to come by. What terribly screwed it all up, though, was that they had forgotten that they didn't have hot water, and the ice splinters coming from the shower head pretty much destroyed the mood. Because of this, they had made a swift retreat, resulting in once again having Jounouchi's ass be saved from penetration.
Keith looked over at the two, wondering what the hell was wrong with them, but thought better of it not to ask. Kaiba stood at the side stupidly, not sure what to do, which made Malik very happy. He deserved it, giving him up for that son of a bitch, sexy American bandit. Now he could suffer the way he had been doing for the last nineteen hours!
Finally, Keith couldn't stand looking at a wall anymore. He needed his cigarettes, his booze, his whores, his ect! He would have been happy at least to have a Play station or a Gamecude... as long as he wasn't stuck with Tetris. That would suck.
"Dammit! Can't you guys buy a TV or something?!"
Mokuba stepped forward happily. "We're too ghetto to buy a TV, but being a little kid, I could easily imagine one up for you!"
Keith just stared at him. What kind of dumb ass kid was this?! An obvious result of inbreeding, he was sure. Mokuba, being a dense little boy, didn't know how stupid he was, and went on imagining a TV for them, and WHALLAH, there was an imaginary TV. The native apartment dwellers oohed and aahed at the sight. They had something to do other than grandma work once again! They all crowded around the TV set, fighting over which channel they should watch.
Keith watched them all with disbelief.
"You guys are fighting over a piece of wall..."
"No we're not!" Yami shouted as he pushed Ryou into Marik in order to reach the TV buttons.
"Okay, fine, a lump of air. You guys are getting into a hissy fit over nothing!"
"Nuh uh! It's a TV set!" Ryou said while rubbing a bruised chin.
"......"
Keith didn't think he would be able to take much more of this. He was stuck here in this half assed apartment with all of these psychos for roommates. He left for the bedroom to lay down in peace, but found Jounouchi already sleeping on the bed. Keith picked Jounouchi up and flung him over his shoulder, followed by laying down on the rock hard mattress. He the proceeded to putting on his earmuffs so as to silence Jounouchi's cries of pain from his ears.
Honda had watched Keith leave the room, and soon followed him to the bedroom. There was no way he was going to let him be some drooled over piece of meat when he had been there so much longer. It was time to give the bandit a piece of his mind.
Chapter 10 is now finished, and we have had a new character come to the apartment. The next chapter gets to be all about Honda because he didn't get one line during the whole chapter... now that I think about it, Malik didn't say anything either. No matter, he got to be a main character for all of the previous ones, so no complaining. There will be more Jounouchi seducing scheming going on, and I think that there will be a few more people coming to live with the present cast before the fic is over, though I'm not sure when the next new character will be popping up. No worries, though, for no Mary Sues will ever be permitted, for they are evil and spawned by the devil himself. If you are a fighter against Mary Sues, say YAHOODIS!!!
