Disclaimers: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I'm simply using the characters for my and my muse's entertainment. I also have nothing to do with the candy companies mentioned in this fic, other than eating their sugary treats! ^_^
Notes: I'm using American candy in this fic because I have no clue what they have in Japan...
Four and a Half Blocks Later by Yaoi Girl
"You're still here?" came a rather annoyed female voice later than morning, around 10:30 or so. Bakura couldn't clearly make out the clock from his sleeping position next to Malik.
"What's it to you?" he spat as he sat up, glaring at her with hazy eyes, the glare's effectiveness lessening even more with the yawn he emitted a moment later.
During the argument that soon commenced between Isis and Bakura, Malik's violet eyes slowly opened. The blonde hadn't been awaked by the noise from the argument, but the jarred movements of the mattress beneath him, as the white-haired yami restrained himself from attacking Isis. Unaware of his sister's presence, as he thought he was dreaming anyway, he reached up and grabbed one of Bakura's arms, pulling him back down to the bed next to him.
"I'm cold," he simply said as he curled against the boy's side, Bakura glaring at the female Egyptian.
"This is why I'm still here; too keep your brother from breaking."
She glared at him a moment longer before turning and walking out of the room, shutting the door behind her.
`That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be_'
~*~
"Do you plan on waking up anytime soon?" Bakura sighed as he propped himself up on his side, staring at Malik with a cheek in the palm of his hand several hours later.
At no signs of the boy stirring, the yami gently shook him, his hand resting on his bare side as the boy's eyes fluttered.
The blonde looked as though he were going to go right back to sleep as he began to roll over, but stopped and put one of his hands on the one resting on his side, unsure of what it was in his sleepy mind.
After a few minutes of rubbing the hand on his body, he smiled sleepily at Bakura, finally awake enough to realize what was going on.
"I can't believe you're still here. I thought for sure that Isis would throw you out the window or something if she caught you in here with me in the same bed."
"She tried, but didn't get far," he smirked "Actually, she also wanted to know why I was here."
"What did you tell her?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Do you two_" Isis began as she opened the boy's bedroom door, staring at the pair's position on the bed, with Bakura and Malik's hands where they were. "Want to help me sort out candy for tonight?" she finished slowly as she looked quizzically up at the boys, neither moving their hands.
Brown met violet in a silent question. Malik shrugged. "Sure."
~*~
"Wow, sis. Are you sure you're not going overboard this year? We'll have leftover candy for months!" Malik said in awe as he and Bakura stared at the several bags of candy spread across the living room floor.
She rolled her icy blue eyes with a smile as she sat down in the middle of the candy circle. "With Bakura around, the leftovers -might- last a week."
The bag that the white-haired yami was currently trying to open ripped open when these words spilled from her mouth, Sweet Tarts flying everywhere. He turned and glared before launching a handful of the wrapped candy at her.
She laughed, ducking and returning fire with small boxes of Milk Duds while Malik simply watched the scene before him, a smile spread across his lips.
"What are you smiling at, Mr. Innocent?" Bakura asked as him he threw a Sweet Tart at his head, the small package hitting the boy between the eyes.
In retaliation, the blonde launched himself at the yami, pinning him to the ground while Bakura calmly popped a Sweet Tart into his own mouth, looking up at the blonde with a "and just what do you think you're going to do?" look.
"Don't even tell me that you're going to kiss him now," Isis sighed as she began packing various candies into little decorated bags.
"Why do you always have to ruin things?" Bakura said as he sat up, hugging Malik to him as he glared at the blonde's sister.
"Besides, what makes you think I would kiss him?" Malik tried, though he was blushing horribly.
"Oh, please! I heard what you were saying to him last night at three in the morning," she said with a slight glare, having been woken up by the conversation.
"How?! Our rooms are on completely opposite sides of the house!"
"Haven't you ever heard of a thing called a vent? They're through the entire house you know. It's not hard to overhear something_" she said as she continued with her task, smiling at her embarrassed brother. "Besides, it's kinda obvious. He did show up at six in the morning to check on you, you were cuddling him when I checked on you two earlier and you were both asleep, and the whole thing a little bit ago when I asked you guys to help me. Not to mention the way you two are now and the whole candy thing you just pulled."
~*~
By three that afternoon, they had finished helping Isis with the candy and were now at Ryou's house, sitting on Bakura's bed, talking.
"Are we going with Ryou and the others, or are we going trick-or-treating by ourselves?"
"Whichever you want to do. You did bring your Millennium item, right?"
"Of course. I left it downstairs in a place I wouldn't forget it."
"Good."
"So, what are you going as?"
"A vampire. What about you?"
"With all the planning and running around we did, I didn't really think about what to dress up as, so I guess I'm just going in this," Malik said sheepishly as he gestured at his clothes, which consisted of a pair of khakis and an old loose lavender shirt with long, flared sleeves.
Bakura sat and stared at him for a minute, a look of concentration in his eyes.
"Those clothes will be fine, as long as you don't mind being dressed up as a girl."
The blonde looked at him quizzically. "A what?"
"If we cut you shirt here and here," Bakura said as he stood the boy up in front of him and ran his fingers along the fabric, showing how the material would have to be cut in a way that the shirt was higher on his sides and form a `V' in the middle on the front and back on the bottom of his shirt. "Then we'll pull your hair up and we can use some of Ryou's Halloween make-up on your face."
"A girl isn't that great of an idea_"
"Chicken. You're just afraid of what the others are going to say to you."
"I am not!" he retorted with a slight glare.
"Whatever. I don't have time to argue with you."
"What I'm trying to say is, with as long as my hair is and with the make-up, people will think that I -am- a girl dressed normally."
"Well, then I guess that I'll just have to mark you as my own. Right here," he said as he stood behind the boy, acting as though he was going to bite Malik like the vampire that he was going to be, right above his collar bone on his left shoulder, as the shirt rode low across his shoulders. He would have put make-up on the boy's neck, like where a real vampire would bite, but it wouldn't work with the boy's gold rings around his neck. "Besides, you'd be too flat chested for a girl."
"Fine. But if you pull my hair up, I'm putting yours up, too."
Bakura shrugged. "I had planned on it anyway. I don't want the fake blood and make-up to get in my hair."
Malik simply glared at him with a small smile. "Excuses, excuses."
~*~
The whole gang stared wide-eyed at the boy before them.
"You let Bakura talk you into looking like that?" Ryou asked as he eyed the boy, then looked to his smirking yami, who was standing behind Malik with his arms around the boy's waist.
The blonde shrugged with a blush. "Yeah, so? It's not -that- bad, is it?"
The group shook their heads simultaneously with somewhat widened eyes. One, Bakura was glaring darkly at all of them behind Malik's back, and two, if they didn't know that Malik was after Bakura, they'd all try to rape him, then and there.
"Wipe the drool from you mouth, Katsuya. You're already in trouble for using the phone last night," Bakura said as he and Malik followed everyone out of the house. "Why didn't you grab you Millennium item?"
"We won't need it until later tonight, so there's no need to haul it around now," the blonde replied as they walked up to the first house.
"Trick or treat!" the group chorused as they reached their bags out.
~*~
"That is the exact reason you should've brought it," the white-haired yami snarled as he glared darkly to the man passing out candy. He refused to give them what he did the smaller kids because they were much older and `didn't need to be doing such childish things.' "If you had your item with you, you could've made him give us more candy. He has the good kind_not the no-name candy like the last couple of people."
"Oh, hush. You'll have plenty when you come over to my place. You seen how much candy my sister bought. Besides, I thought you were taking candy from the older kids."
Somewhere along the back roads, the group had split up. Malik, Bakura, Jounouchi, Seto, Honda, and Yami where in one group while Yugi, Ryou, Mokuba, Anzu, Mai, and Shizuka were in the other.
"With the girls out of the way, it'll be even more fun tripping the older kids because they won't be here to try and put me on a guilt trip," Bakura murmured. "And with Katsuya hanging all over Honda, and Yami doing the same to Kaiba, they won't try to stop me either. And you know better than to get in my way when I'm tormenting the weak."
Fifteen or so minutes had passed and they had visited several houses, but Bakura was disappointed to find no older kids. But a few minutes later he finally spotted a group of three walking along, tormenting the younger and weaker teenagers.
"What's he doing?" Yami asked as he seen Bakura leave the group.
"Being Bakura_" Malik replied as the white-haired spirit began to threaten the older boys with a completely evil look, shoving two of them down and the third was so afraid that he dropped his bag and ran. The pair that had been knocked down quickly scrambled to their feet and tried to grab for their bags, but stopped as they stared into evil brown orbs, running and falling a few moments later as Bakura finally tripped them with a triumphant smirk, collected their bags and rejoined the group.
"Not too bad. They've got a little over half full bags and most of it's the good stuff," Bakura smiled as he peered into the three bags. "They must've hit a couple houses more than once."
The others laughed at the delighted face Bakura wore, almost as if he were a child receiving candy for the first time.
"Who would've thought that you could actually not look evil," Honda said as he wrapped an arm around Jounouchi's shoulders and they began to walk again.
A few minutes later, Bakura's eyes lit up, indicating that he had spotted some more victims. "Wait here," he said as he handed his bags to Malik and ran to hide behind a tree in the next yard from where they were.
The boys yelped as they fell face first into the grass, confused as to how they fell, and even more so when they couldn't locate their bags of sugary treats.
Bakura laughed wickedly as he again rejoined the group, placing the half full bags into the bags from his first victims.
"Since we're near the house, I'll drop this stuff off so I can go pumpkin smashing," he said a few moments later as they left another house.
The pair said their good-byes to the small group of boys and headed off towards Ryou's house, where he dumped his loot.
