The next day, Akkiko was still shut away in her room. Kat and Meg started
to worry.
"Okay, this is serious!" Kat whispered, as they walked to school.
"But what can we do? " Meg asked. "If we try going in, she hisses at us!"
Kat sighed. "I think we have to convince Kaiba to apologize." She brightened. "Ooh, let's play with his mind!!"
Meg also grinned. "Oh yeah, that's always fun!!"
They hurried off to school.
***
Once at school, The Yu-Gi-Oh gang approached them.
"Tristan told me what happened yesterday," Taia said. "How's Akkiko?"
Kat noticed Kaiba standing off to one side, pretending not to eavesdrop. But Kat, being very good at eavesdropping herself, saw that he was doing a very bad job of it.
She raised her voice. "Oh, the poor sweet little thing is heartbroken!" she said, pulling a hanky from her sleeve. "She's locked herself in the room, and has shut all the blinds." Kat motioned towards Kaiba. Meg caught on.
"Yes, and she kept me up all night wailing 'Kaiba, how could you!'" Meg shook her head. "It was so pathetic."
Kaiba walked away, but Kat noticed the look on his face; he felt like crap. She winked at Meg.
"First part of mission: complete!"
***
The rest of the day progressed without much happening. Kat was unnoticed by Zechs, who spent most of the day polishing his guns.
Kaiba continued being quiet, and at the end of the day he looked like he was going to talk to Kat and Meg, but instead he just went to his limo.
Kat sighed. "Do you think this'll work?" she asked.
Meg grinned, confident. "It's only Tuesday-we have three more days."
***
When they got home, they made supper, then went into the game room and played Kingdom Hearts. Once both of them had been killed by Sephiroth *twice*, Akkiko stumbled downstairs.
"Akkiko?" Kat shrieked. "Wow-you look like shit."
Akkiko growled; but she did look pretty bad. Her cheeks were tearstained, and her hair was tangled, her clothes rumpled.
"I think it's time to go into Phase Two," Meg hissed to Kat.
Kat paled. "Oh no-we don't need to get CRUEL!!"
***
The next day, the three girls went to school, Akkiko walking around in a trance. When they got onto school grounds, Taia and Yugi were waiting for them. They both sweatdropped when they saw Akkiko.
"What are you girls doing, torturing her?" Taia asked in outrage. Akkiko was dressed in the girls' uniform, pink jacket and all.
Kat grinned. "Wearing pink was the only thing we could think of," she said.
"Yeah," Meg said. "If this doesn't attract Kaiba's attention, nothing will."
At that moment Kaiba walked past them, staring at Akkiko. Kat went up to him and led him off. Taia stared after. "What's she doing?"
Meg grinned. "Phase Three," she said.
Once she and Kaiba had gone around the corner of the school, Kat grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him down to her level. (A/N: I am very touchy about my height. So LEAVE ME ALONE!!!)
"Okay, I am only going to say once," Kat said. "We have a problem. When Akkiko starts wearing pink-let's just say that's a bad sign."
Kaiba sweatdropped. "What do you want me to do about it?" he asked
"Ask her out to the dance, you idiot!!"
Kaiba paled. "I am NOT going out with that little demon-thing!!"
Kat rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. I KNOW you enjoyed it when you kissed."
Kaiba pulled away, shaking his head in furious denial. "I didn't like it!" he screamed. "I swear!!"
Kat grinned. "Uh-huh . . . sure."
Kaiba sighed. "Okay . . . maybe I enjoyed it . . . a little."
"Come on," Kat said. "Admit it!!"
"Okay!" Kaiba relented. "I enjoyed it! Happy now??"
"Not quite," Kat said. "Now you have to ask her to the dance!!"
Kaiba dropped. "I don't want to!" he said through gritted teeth.
Kat sighed and started to walk away. "Okay, but-" she grinned evilly at him. "You KNOW you want to!!"
She walked off. Kaiba blushed furiously
***
On Thursday, Akkiko came to school in the pink jacket again. (Bwahahaha, I am evil!) When class began, Zechs started talking about guns, and Akkiko didn't even pay attention.
Seto noticed this with mild confusion; she seemed like the type of girl who actually LIKED causing chaos and death.
At the end of the day, he approached *finally*. Kat and Meg grinned. "Mission almost completed," Meg whispered.
Kaiba stepped up to Akkiko. She looked up at him dully.
"Um . . . Akkiko . . . Do you want to go to the dance with me?" Kaiba asked his race red as an apple.
Life started to flow back into Akkiko's face. Her eyes started to shine again, and she actually grinned.
"YES!!" she said. "FINALLY!!"
She looked down at herself.
"What am I wearing?"
***
"KAT! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!" Akkiko said later. She was in the shower, trying to rub the sensation of PINK off of herself. "I fell so . . . so . . . Girly!!!"
"Ha hah!!" Kat said from the games room, where she was kicking Heartless butt. "Serves you right for going into depression with US around!"
Meg came into the room, holding a dagger. "Hey, I've ever noticed-but the armoury is actually quite fun!!"
Akkiko peeked her head out of the shower curtain. "Of course is it, you dingbat!!"
Kat sighed. "Well, the dance is tomorrow. What are we going to do after that?"
Meg thought for a moment. "You know, this anime world is actually starting to grow on me."
Kat and Akkiko looked at each other. "A miracle has occurred!" they said together.
Meg growled, picked up a pink sponge, and threw it at Akkiko. "Die evil Demonchild!!" she said.
Akkiko shrieked. "AAAAH!! No more pink!!" She ran off.
Kat laughed. "Well, at least we know one of her weaknesses," she said.
Suddenly Akkiko ran back into the room. "Shut up, shortie," she said and then ran back out.
Kat sat, stunned, and then, all of a sudden, little horns poked through her hair. "Demongirl emerging," she said. (A/N: Demongirl is a nickname for another character I have written about.)
Meg sweatdropped. "Perfect," she said. "I am in a house with a Demonchild, and a Demongirl. Wonderful."
"Die you stupid prick!" Kat suddenly screamed. A question mark appeared above Meg's head. Kat was still playing Kingdom Hearts, despite her demon- mode.
Akkiko peeked around the corner again. "Is it safe?"
"I'm not sure," Meg said. "I do know it's not safe for Heartless, though."
"NOOOOOO!!!!!" Kat shrieked. "They killed me!!" Her horns retreated back into her skull. She pouted.
Akkiko laughed, and reset the consol. "Hah, you amateur-watch the master work."
***
(Five minutes later)
"Haha Sephiroth-you suck!!" Akkiko said triumphantly. "BWAHAHAHAH!!!"
"Oh, shut up!!" Kat said.
The doorbell rang. "Oh brother," Meg said.
"I bet five bucks it's Yugi or one of them," Akkiko said, still playing, eyes fixed on the screen. Kat shook her head.
"She's obsessed," she said, and went to answer the door.
Surprisingly, it was neither Yugi, nor anyone in his gang. It was a delivery man. "This is for Kat," he said, and handed her a packaged.
"Thanks," Kat said, and slammed the door in his face. 'Memo to me,' she thought, 'Akkiko owes me five bucks.'
She set the box down on a table and proceeded to open it.
"WHAT THE HELL??????"
Meg and Akkiko came running out of the room. "What's going on?" Meg asked.
"Look at this!" Kat aid, pointing into the box. Inside was the Millennium Necklace.
A question mark appeared above Meg's head. "Um . . . what's that?" she asked.
Akkiko slapped her forehead. "It's the Millennium Necklace, you dingbat," she said in an irritated voice.
"Oh . . ." Meg said. "And what's that?"
Kat reached into the box and drew out the necklace. Below the necklace was a note. Kat picked it up and read it aloud.
~~~
Dear Kat, this is just to say that I have retrieved what is rightfully yours. Best of luck using its powers.
Love, Anonymous.
~~~
Kat sweatdropped. "How very cheesy," she commented, and stared at the necklace.
Akkiko laughed aloud. "Yugi has a crush on you!" she said.
Kat winced. "But he doesn't even know that I was an ancient priestess," she said.
Akkiko thought for a moment. "Maybe Yugi didn't know . . . but maybe Yami did!'
"We haven't even met Yami!!" Kat said.
Meg stared at the two of them. "Okay-we don't even know if its' from Yugi!!" she protested.
The other two sighed, "Meg-watch some anime shows-you may learn something!"
Meg crossed her arms defiantly. "Anime is the root of all evil," she said.
Akkiko sprouted horns . . . again. "Blasphemy!!" she screamed, and dove for Meg. Kat continued to stare at the necklace.
'Okay, so . . . what does this mean?' she thought to herself.
The doorbell rang again. Kat opened it, hiding the Necklace behind her back.
It was Bakura. 'Oh, this is going to be good,' Kat thought.
Bakura smiled. "Yugi said that you had moved in here," he said. "I thought I'd come over and see how you were doing."
Kat turned; Meg and Akkiko were wrestling, Akkiko still in half-demon-mode. "Oh, I'm surviving," Kat said, sweatdropping.
Bakura saw that she was hiding something. "What you got there?" he asked.
Kat sweatdropped even more. "Um . . . just a gift from a friend," she said, and bit her lip.
Bakura shrugged. "Well, I'll see you later, 'he said and walked off.
"Wait!" Kat shouted. Bakura turned back. "I-I'm really looking forward to the dance," Kat said, blushing.
Bakura nodded. "So am I," he said, and - it might have been Kat's imagination, but-a little bit of the spirit of the Millennium Ring shone through.
"I am on a date with ultimate evil," Kat said to herself, and closed the door.
Akkiko walked up. "Hey, if you don't want the date, I'll take it!'
Kat looked around. "Hey, where's Meg?"
Akkiko smiled innocently. "Oh . . . she's . . . around."
A closet door behind her shook violently. "AKKIKO YOU DEMON, LET ME OUT!!" came Meg's voice.
Akkiko shrugged. "Heh, I'm just going to keep her in there until dinnertime," she said.
Kat sweatdropped, and walked up to the closet. She tried to open it, but found she couldn't.
"Akkiko, what did you do to the door?" she asked
"Um . . . nothing." Akkiko threw a bottle of super-glue behind herself.
Kat rolled her eyes. "Sorry Meg, but I guess you're stuck."
"Literally," Akkiko grinned. "So, whatcha going to do with the Millennium Necklace?" she asked.
Kat shrugged. Akkiko saw her hiding it behind her back and grabbed it. Before Kat could stop her, she found the necklace around her neck.
"Wow," Akkiko said. "It doesn't look too bad on you."
Kat's nails suddenly grew three inches. "You die now, demon!' she said.
Akkiko sweatdropped. "You're going to kill me just because I put a necklace on you?" she asked.
Kat thought for a moment. "Yeah!" she said, and dove for Akkiko.
(BWAHAHAHAH!!!)
***
Later on the three girls went to meet Yugi, Joey, Taia and Tristan at the mall. Kat wore a turtle neck to hide the Millennium Necklace. Akkiko wasn't happy about this.
"Oh, come ON, Kat!" she said. "There's no harm in letting them see it."
Meg nudged Kat. "Yeah, and maybe Yugi-or Yami-will fess up."
Kat blushed. "I am not letting anyone see it," she said stubbornly.
Akkiko and Meg sighed and rolled their eyes. "Whatever."
Once at the mall, Akkiko spotted the temperature control-thingy beside the doors. She grinned and went over to it, jacking up the temp. Kat started to sweat.
"Damn damn damn!" she hissed, and tugged off her turtle neck. Luckily she had a tank-top on underneath.
The gang stared at the Necklace.
"Isn't that-" Taia started.
"Oh yes," Akkiko smiled. "It's the Millennium Necklace. I wonder who gave it to her." She glanced obviously at Yugi.
He shrugged, but then looked away, as if he was listening to something. A moment later the Millennium Puzzle around his neck flashed and Yami was looking at them. (Only Meg, Akkiko and Kat noticed this, of course)
"Kat, may I speak to you for a moment?" he asked.
Kat nodded, and the two went off a distance. Akkiko started to follow to them, but Meg grabbed her shoulder.
"Leave them alone," she hissed.
"But I wanna know what they're saying!" Akkiko whined.
"Later!" Meg snapped.
"Kat, about the necklace-" Yami started to say.
"Ye-es, I would be pleased to know about that," Kat said, crossing her arms.
"Well, on the day you arrived here, I had a dream about my past. I dreamed that you were my . . ."
"Your high priestess?" Kat finished dully.
Yami looked at her, surprised. "I . . . suppose," he said, but something in his eyes told Kat that he was hiding something from her.
"What?" she asked.
Yami blushed a little. "I also dreamed that you were my . . . my sister."
Kat felt her jaw drop. "WHAT?" she said and the others stared over at them.
Yami shrugged. "That was what I thought. In my dream, you were wearing the Millennium Necklace. I thought it would be best to return it to."
Kat smacked her head. "Perfect," she said. "I'm a five thousand year old high priestess and on top of all that, I'm sister to a pharaoh." She sighed. "What else could happen to make this day any weirder."
"Please don't say that!" Meg called. Kat looked over at the group, who where now only a few feet away.
She and Yami sweatdropped. "Oh, brother."
***
When they got back to the house, Kat explained what Yami had told her. Akkiko grinned.
"He's your brother? Sweet-he's free for me!"
"Back off, demon," Meg said. "I like him too." She rubbed her hands together.
Akkiko glared. "Shut up or I'll lock you in the closet again."
Kat blinked. "Yeah, I have a question about that, Meg-how did you get out?"
Meg grinned. "Power tools are fun," she said, going all chibi.
Akkiko sweatdropped. "Hmm . . . Meg around power tools . . . May the good lord help us."
"I'm sleeping with ANOTHER knife under my pillow tonight." Kat said.
Akkiko rolled her eyes. "A KNIFE?? That is SO fifteenth century. I'm sleeping with a GUN under my pillow." And then, just for good measure, slapped her hands together and went all starry-eyed. "Just like Heero Yuy."
Kat smacked her. "Are you fantasizing about Heero?? HE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Akkiko just grinned. "Oh well . . . I've found that I'm attracted Duo this week anyway."
Meg frowned. "He MINE!!"
Kat shrugged. "I'm flexible."
Akkiko grimaced. "That is disgusting."
Kat shrugged. "I have sick mind, so what?"
Akkiko rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I remember when you really cut loose during that three-way conversation we did at your house."
Meg laughed out loud. "Yeah, I remember that! You and Heero went off to a dark corner . . ."
"And Merric was sulking." Kat grinned. "You know, my sister said once that I was going to be a Cougar (A/N: that's a woman who likes guys younger than them), but I think I'm going to be a player. Bwahaha!!"
Akkiko frowned. "That's my laugh!"
"I don't see your copyright on it!"
"DIE!" Akkiko tackled Kat. The doorbell rang-AGAIN!!!!!
"After this, I'm going to disconnect the *beep*in' thing," Meg muttered and opened it. It was Bakura again.
"May I please speak to Kat?" he asked.
"Sure, but you may have to wait," Meg said brightly. "She's in mortal combat right now." She turned to the two girls, who were each hiding behind tables with guns in their hands. "Yo, Kat-your boyfriend's here!"
"One moment!" Kat fired a shot at Akkiko, who ducked. While she was occupied, Kat ran forward and out the door. "I'll take this call outside!" she said, slamming the door.
"Coward!" Akkiko yelled.
"What up, Bakura?" Kat said outside. Bakura was staring at her throat . . . of course. Kat mentally smacked herself. She was still wearing the Necklace. 'Shit,' she thought.
Suddenly Joey came up the walk. "Hey, Kat, is Meg home?" he asked.
"Yeah, go on in." Kat jerked her thumb at the house. "But beware-Akkiko has a gun." Joey sweatdropped, but went inside.
Kat and Bakura were left standing alone. The front of his shirt glowed, and in a moment, Kat was looking at the *evil* spirit of the Millennium Puzzle.
Kat yawned. "You have to work on your openings," she said.
Bakura stared. "You were expecting this?"
"Uh, yeah. I know about the Millennium Items. I know everything!" Kat's voice went all witchy and she cackled. "Fear me!"
Akkiko stuck her head out the door. "Kat, stop being a witch. Come back to human mode!" Kat turned at aimed her gun. Akkiko squealed and slammed the door.
Bakura sweatdropped. Kat turned back to him. "Let me guess, you are going to transport me to the Shadow Realm, and try to steal the Millennium Necklace." Kat rolled her eyes dully.
Bakura frowned. "Dammit. How do you know?"
Kat grinned. "I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh head!"
Akkiko looked out door. "So am I!!" Looks over at Bakura. "Did you know you're going to die?"
Kat spun around, waving gun. "Goddammit Akkiko, would you leave us alone? I'm about to kick this *BEEP*s ass!"
Akkiko shrunk. "Sorry," she said meekly and retreated back into the house. Kat turned back to Bakura.
He sweatdropped again. "What did she say?"
Kat smacked her head. "Pay no attention to the demon. She's crazy."
Akkiko poked her head out AGAIN. "Yep, it's true!" Went all chibi. Kat sighed.
"Okay, we're obviously not going to get through this without being interrupted, so if you're going to do anything, can we please get it over with?"
Bakura smiled again. "If you just give me the Necklace, I won't have any reason to transport you to the Shadow."
Kat rolled her eyes again. "And what fun would that be?"
Akkiko came up behind her. "No fun at all!"
Bakura glared at her. "And who asked you, pip-squeak?"
Akkiko stopped and stared at Bakura. Little flames shot out of her eyes, ears and nose. "Bakura, YOU DIE, BAKA!!" she tackled him.
Kat yawned. "Okay, this is boring." Goes back into house.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, though I wish I did, so I could torment the characters. BWAHAHAHAH!!
FEAR ME!!!!!!
"Okay, this is serious!" Kat whispered, as they walked to school.
"But what can we do? " Meg asked. "If we try going in, she hisses at us!"
Kat sighed. "I think we have to convince Kaiba to apologize." She brightened. "Ooh, let's play with his mind!!"
Meg also grinned. "Oh yeah, that's always fun!!"
They hurried off to school.
***
Once at school, The Yu-Gi-Oh gang approached them.
"Tristan told me what happened yesterday," Taia said. "How's Akkiko?"
Kat noticed Kaiba standing off to one side, pretending not to eavesdrop. But Kat, being very good at eavesdropping herself, saw that he was doing a very bad job of it.
She raised her voice. "Oh, the poor sweet little thing is heartbroken!" she said, pulling a hanky from her sleeve. "She's locked herself in the room, and has shut all the blinds." Kat motioned towards Kaiba. Meg caught on.
"Yes, and she kept me up all night wailing 'Kaiba, how could you!'" Meg shook her head. "It was so pathetic."
Kaiba walked away, but Kat noticed the look on his face; he felt like crap. She winked at Meg.

"Ask her out to the dance, you idiot!!"
Kaiba paled. "I am NOT going out with that little demon-thing!!"
Kat rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. I KNOW you enjoyed it when you kissed."
Kaiba pulled away, shaking his head in furious denial. "I didn't like it!" he screamed. "I swear!!"
Kat grinned. "Uh-huh . . . sure."
Kaiba sighed. "Okay . . . maybe I enjoyed it . . . a little."

Kat sighed and started to walk away. "Okay, but-" she grinned evilly at him. "You KNOW you want to!!"
She walked off. Kaiba blushed furiously

Later on the three girls went to meet Yugi, Joey, Taia and Tristan at the mall. Kat wore a turtle neck to hide the Millennium Necklace. Akkiko wasn't happy about this.
"Oh, come ON, Kat!" she said. "There's no harm in letting them see it."
Meg nudged Kat. "Yeah, and maybe Yugi-or Yami-will fess up."
Kat blushed. "I am not letting anyone see it," she said stubbornly.
Akkiko and Meg sighed and rolled their eyes. "Whatever."
Once at the mall, Akkiko spotted the temperature control-thingy beside the doors. She grinned and went over to it, jacking up the temp. Kat started to sweat.
"Damn damn damn!" she hissed, and tugged off her turtle neck. Luckily she had a tank-top on underneath.
The gang stared at the Necklace.
"Isn't that-" Taia started.
"Oh yes," Akkiko smiled. "It's the Millennium Necklace. I wonder who gave it to her." She glanced obviously at Yugi.
He shrugged, but then looked away, as if he was listening to something. A moment later the Millennium Puzzle around his neck flashed and Yami was looking at them. (Only Meg, Akkiko and Kat noticed this, of course)
"Kat, may I speak to you for a moment?" he asked.
Kat nodded, and the two went off a distance. Akkiko started to follow to them, but Meg grabbed her shoulder.
"Leave them alone," she hissed.
"But I wanna know what they're saying!" Akkiko whined.
"Later!" Meg snapped.
"Kat, about the necklace-" Yami started to say.
"Ye-es, I would be pleased to know about that," Kat said, crossing her arms.
"Well, on the day you arrived here, I had a dream about my past. I dreamed that you were my . . ."
"Your high priestess?" Kat finished dully.
Yami looked at her, surprised. "I . . . suppose," he said, but something in his eyes told Kat that he was hiding something from her.
"What?" she asked.
Yami blushed a little. "I also dreamed that you were my . . . my sister."
Kat felt her jaw drop. "WHAT?" she said and the others stared over at them.
Yami shrugged. "That was what I thought. In my dream, you were wearing the Millennium Necklace. I thought it would be best to return it to."
Kat smacked her head. "Perfect," she said. "I'm a five thousand year old high priestess and on top of all that, I'm sister to a pharaoh." She sighed. "What else could happen to make this day any weirder."
"Please don't say that!" Meg called. Kat looked over at the group, who where now only a few feet away.
She and Yami sweatdropped. "Oh, brother."
***
When they got back to the house, Kat explained what Yami had told her. Akkiko grinned.
"He's your brother? Sweet-he's free for me!"
"Back off, demon," Meg said. "I like him too." She rubbed her hands together.
Akkiko glared. "Shut up or I'll lock you in the closet again."
Kat blinked. "Yeah, I have a question about that, Meg-how did you get out?"
Meg grinned. "Power tools are fun," she said, going all chibi.
Akkiko sweatdropped. "Hmm . . . Meg around power tools . . . May the good lord help us."
"I'm sleeping with ANOTHER knife under my pillow tonight." Kat said.
Akkiko rolled her eyes. "A KNIFE?? That is SO fifteenth century. I'm sleeping with a GUN under my pillow." And then, just for good measure, slapped her hands together and went all starry-eyed. "Just like Heero Yuy."
Kat smacked her. "Are you fantasizing about Heero?? HE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Akkiko just grinned. "Oh well . . . I've found that I'm attracted Duo this week anyway."
Meg frowned. "He MINE!!"
Kat shrugged. "I'm flexible."
Akkiko grimaced. "That is disgusting."
Kat shrugged. "I have sick mind, so what?"
Akkiko rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I remember when you really cut loose during that three-way conversation we did at your house."
Meg laughed out loud. "Yeah, I remember that! You and Heero went off to a dark corner . . ."
"And Merric was sulking." Kat grinned. "You know, my sister said once that I was going to be a Cougar (A/N: that's a woman who likes guys younger than them), but I think I'm going to be a player. Bwahaha!!"
Akkiko frowned. "That's my laugh!"
"I don't see your copyright on it!"
"DIE!" Akkiko tackled Kat. The doorbell rang-AGAIN!!!!!
"After this, I'm going to disconnect the *beep*in' thing," Meg muttered and opened it. It was Bakura again.
"May I please speak to Kat?" he asked.
"Sure, but you may have to wait," Meg said brightly. "She's in mortal combat right now." She turned to the two girls, who were each hiding behind tables with guns in their hands. "Yo, Kat-your boyfriend's here!"
"One moment!" Kat fired a shot at Akkiko, who ducked. While she was occupied, Kat ran forward and out the door. "I'll take this call outside!" she said, slamming the door.
"Coward!" Akkiko yelled.
"What up, Bakura?" Kat said outside. Bakura was staring at her throat . . . of course. Kat mentally smacked herself. She was still wearing the Necklace. 'Shit,' she thought.
Suddenly Joey came up the walk. "Hey, Kat, is Meg home?" he asked.
"Yeah, go on in." Kat jerked her thumb at the house. "But beware-Akkiko has a gun." Joey sweatdropped, but went inside.
Kat and Bakura were left standing alone. The front of his shirt glowed, and in a moment, Kat was looking at the *evil* spirit of the Millennium Puzzle.
Kat yawned. "You have to work on your openings," she said.
Bakura stared. "You were expecting this?"
"Uh, yeah. I know about the Millennium Items. I know everything!" Kat's voice went all witchy and she cackled. "Fear me!"
Akkiko stuck her head out the door. "Kat, stop being a witch. Come back to human mode!" Kat turned at aimed her gun. Akkiko squealed and slammed the door.
Bakura sweatdropped. Kat turned back to him. "Let me guess, you are going to transport me to the Shadow Realm, and try to steal the Millennium Necklace." Kat rolled her eyes dully.
Bakura frowned. "Dammit. How do you know?"
Kat grinned. "I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh head!"
Akkiko looked out door. "So am I!!" Looks over at Bakura. "Did you know you're going to die?"
Kat spun around, waving gun. "Goddammit Akkiko, would you leave us alone? I'm about to kick this *BEEP*s ass!"
Akkiko shrunk. "Sorry," she said meekly and retreated back into the house. Kat turned back to Bakura.
He sweatdropped again. "What did she say?"
Kat smacked her head. "Pay no attention to the demon. She's crazy."
Akkiko poked her head out AGAIN. "Yep, it's true!" Went all chibi. Kat sighed.
"Okay, we're obviously not going to get through this without being interrupted, so if you're going to do anything, can we please get it over with?"
Bakura smiled again. "If you just give me the Necklace, I won't have any reason to transport you to the Shadow."
Kat rolled her eyes again. "And what fun would that be?"
Akkiko came up behind her. "No fun at all!"
Bakura glared at her. "And who asked you, pip-squeak?"
Akkiko stopped and stared at Bakura. Little flames shot out of her eyes, ears and nose. "Bakura, YOU DIE, BAKA!!" she tackled him.
Kat yawned. "Okay, this is boring." Goes back into house.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, though I wish I did, so I could torment the characters. BWAHAHAHAH!!
