Neko Yasha: hey every one! i just want you to know i'm soooooooooooooo sorry i've taken

so long to get the chapters out! i've just had major writer's block and when i started

this story, i didn't exactly have a plot worked out, but now i do! hehe, you'll just have

to wait and see! muahahahahahahahahaha! any way, here's chapter...5? i think...not sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Seto's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"say the magic word" i heard him say as he chuckled mockingly at me (A/N: is mockingly

even a word..? hm. oh well! it is now.) my face fell as i saw Bakura smirk at me, exposing

a sparkling white fang that looked like it would draw blood at the slightest touch.

i looked questioningly at him for a moment, as if contemplating his request. or demand.

depends on how you look at it. 'the magic word...?' that's when it hit me like a ton of

bricks. pale insane bakura bricks. please! yeah. that magic word. as you can see, with the

exception of mokuba, the kaiba's are not at all familiar with that word. it's in our genes.

even if i'm not a true kaiba, i was raised as one, there for i don't say please, thank you,

or any of that kiss ass non-sense. as i mentioned earlier, i didn't say thank you to the

casier, or please when i ordered the food, (which i had completely forgotten about) i just

smiled. and that wasn't even a real smile. so you can imagine how difficult it was

for me to swallow my pride and kiss up some one. and that some one just happened to be

bakura out of every one else in the world. i gulped loudly and looked up nervously at him,

making his smirk grow wider, exposing even more of those frightning pearly whites.

i opened my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. i swallowed again, then repeated my

previous actions, attempting to plead once more. "Bakura...p--plea...." "plea...?"

he pressed on, urging me to continue. "p-p-pleaaa-please get them off me!" he let a cross

between a smirk and a smile spread across his face, then turned to the bouncing munchkins

(A/N: follow the yellow brick road...) on my back, and pulled out a rather wicked looking

knife from his belt loop. "here kids! here's a sharp object! take it and remember to run

real fast with it!" the kids smiled and muttered a 'gee thanks mister!' before skipping

towards their soon-to-be horrified parents. i smirked before carefully pulling my self

up, then stretching until i was sitting on my knees in the giant pile of balls. (hehehehe)

"so, what are you doing here?" once i gained bakura's attention, he turned to me and

frowned. "well, i came to give you some good news and some bad news.

as you know, the potion that'll bring him back into his normal form is some

where in a tomb in egypt. the bad news is, we have to fly to egypt and find it within

the next week or else he's stuck like this forever." he said, pointing to Joey who was now

curled up and asleep on top of the multi-colored toys. "and what's the good news" bakura

blinked down at me before grinning and rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "well, i

guess there isn't any good news!" i sighed in frustration before pulling bakura down by

the shirt collar so i was right next to his ear. "and who do you think is going to pay

for this little trip?" i said, the anger evident in my voice. "....well, you're a

millionaire aren't you?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(else where, yugi's p.o.v)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i sat in silence along with the rest of the group as we all waited impatiently for Seto

to return. it had been over 2 hours, so we sent bakura to find him after we recieved the

bad news. well, it wasn't really bad news to me. i thought it would be kinda cool to go

to egypt. i don't know what every one's complaining about. i guess it might be because

some one would have to pay for plane tickets, hotel rooms, a rental car, and stuff like

that, not to mention we'd all have to miss out on school and work. well i know i'd rather

be in egypt than in school any day, but that's just my opinion. my train of thoughts

suddenly came to a hault as i heard a loud screech out side, followed by several screams

and curses that i would reckognize any where. "Seto's back." every one nodded in perfect

unison. "and i guess he didn't take the news too well." claimed tristan as we all turned

to look at him; giving him a look that clearly said 'what planet did you fall from?' he

gazed around nervously; a cold sweat breaking across his tanned skin as he twiddled with

his fingers. ".....why does every one always look at me like that?!" no one had the time

to answer his question as the large oak double doors were suddenly thrown open, making

us all jump as a very pissed off seto came into view, as well as bakura, whom was carrying

the tiny blonde baby in his arms, trying not to lose his temper as he pulled and yanked

at his clean white locks. i saw Seto take a deep calming breath before walking over to us

and making himself comfortable on the large leather love seat, followed by bakura.

"now. what's this i hear about going to egypt?" i sighed and turned to him, looking

straight into his icy blue eyes. "well, there's no one to bring the medicine back to us,

so we have to get it for our selves. it's supposed to be in a tomb, which i'm sure bakura

can find. and we have to be there and back in a week unless you want a new baby to take

care of." seto's eyes widened and he frantically shook his head as he imagined taking

care of a baby joey for the rest of his days. "that's what i thought. now, pack your

stuff. we're leaving tomorrow."
