When persuading children to give the Items back, always have a plan B

"I want to get out of here! Let me out!" Yami kicked the walls of his room at the mental asylum. He was secured to a straitjacket and they had taken the ketchup bottle away from him a long time ago. "Let me out! I have to keep the squirrels from coming back and I haven't finished my cheeseburger back there!"

(Back to the Shadow Realm)

Akito walked while looking at the yaoi pictures Tasuki had given her. She would squeal whenever the picture of Bakura's face between Marik's legs came and Bakura would hiss and try to get it back but Akito would snarl and bite at his finger.

Marik was keeping a ten-foot distance from Bakura.

Kyo was still on Inu-Yasha's head, pulling on his ears.

Inu-Yasha was trying to get her off.

Tasuki was right behind Bakura and Marik in case any of them decided to fuck each other at any moment.

"Hey, does anyone here have any idea where we are going?" Kyo asked.

"I don't know," Akito said, her eyes glued to the picture.

"Me either," Tasuki said.

"Well, we wouldn't have gotten lost if we had simply followed the yellow brick road!" Inu-Yasha said.

"There isn't any road of such!" Marik yelled. "And if there was, Bakura would have found it."

"It's right there." Bakura pointed. A yellow brick road was not far away from the group. It was all sparkly, glittery, and all that pink and white fluffiness. Near it was a sign that said 'Welcome to the Yellow Brick Road!'.

Everyone but Bakura stared at Inu-Yasha. "What?" he said. "I've been here long enough."

"Yeah," they said.

Akito shrieked at the fluffiness and jumped on Bakura's head, shivering. "Too much happiness. Too much fluff.' she whimpered.

Kyo cried and clung to Inu-Yasha's head, her arms covering his eyes.

Tasuki sat on Marik's right shoe. She began to think for a while but her head started to ache so she stopped thinking.

"So, do we follow it?" Bakura asked.

"I guess."

(Where Yami is)

Yami twitched and turned at every little sound. He was not claustrophobic but he was afraid of being closed up in a room with mattresses for walls. "Yami scared…" he whimpered and looked as though he were about to cry.

"Chit!"

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!" he screamed and hit his head against the wall, hard. He looked outside and sure enough, there was a squirrel with an acorn.

"Things of evil!" he shouted. "What do you want!?"

"Chit! Chizu chit chita!" it said. Yami's eye twitched. "You dare! Mind Crush!"

Nothing happened. Yami tried again. Nothing happened. And again.

"Chitzu! Chei Chi!" it pointed. Yami looked at saw that the Puzzle was missing.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he cried.

(Back to the Shadow Realm)

They have been walking for hours and they were still walking. "And when everything seems to go right, something happens that makes it SO wrong."

"Inu-Yasha, were you talking to yourself?" Kyo asked.

"Uh, no."

"Okay."

Akito had fallen asleep on Bakura's head because she liked to sleep on spiky pillows. Kinda like Bakura's hair.

"Maybe we should set her down and run," Bakura whispered to Marik.

"Nah, she'll find a way to follow us. And I'm not willing to see a stampede of cows coming after us when she wakes." Marik replied.

"Damn." Bakura said.

"HIT ME!" Akito yelled in her sleep. She twitched and clung to Bakura tighter. "There's no place like home…"

"Why me?" he muttered. He carefully pulled her off and set her on Marik's head. That woke Akito up.

"Why is Bakura's head spikier than usual?" she asked and looked down to see Marik. "Since when did Bakura dye his hair blonde?"

Marik's face went -_-". He pulled her off. Akito blinked stupidly and clung to Marik's left shoe.

"What's with the shoe!" he kicked her off and backed into Bakura, knocking both of them down. His hand accidentally slid into Bakura's shirt. Tasuki's camera snapped.

"Got it!" she handed the picture to Akito who gladly accepted it to add to her growing collection. She turned her attention back to the two who were scrambling away from each other.

Kyo and Inu-Yasha stopped all of a sudden. The road split into three separate roads and each lead into different realms. The left led to a rainbow, the middle led to a spinning vortex, and the right led to a graveyard.

"Hey, where do we go?" Kyo asked.

"We should split," Inu-Yasha said. He looked back at the four people who were yelling at the tops of their lungs. "Okay…"

Akito stopped singing and stared at the roads. "Nice place," she commented.

"Where should we go?" Bakura asked. He went to the road that led to the graveyard and waited. Akito cried and ran to him. When she did, a large hole appeared underneath them and Bakura and Akito vanished, just like that.

Everyone was silent for a few seconds when Inu-Yasha pushed Tasuki to the road that led to the rainbows before he stepped on the left road. The same hole appeared and before they vanished, Tasuki yelled,"NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Kyo went wheeee, pulled Marik's shirt, and dragged him to the spinning vortex. They vanished too.

(Where Yami is)

Yami had kicked the door several times after the squirrel left. He screamed bloody hell and bashed his head against the wall for about an hour already.

"Hey, why don't you watch something?" the blond guard said, pushing in a small t.v.

Yami pushed the 'on' button with his foot. The screen fizzed and a cartoon appeared.

"WHO LIVES IN A PINAPPLE UNDER THE SEA? SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!!!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yami screamed. His scream rang through the asylum and was heard outside where the guard and the driver were having a drink.

(Back to the Shadow Realm)

After everyone left, a shadowy character followed them.

Bakura screamed an octave higher than he knew he could go and landed on hard ground. Akito yelled,"Wheeee!" and landed on him.

"Hey, where are we?" she asked. She heard a grunt and did nothing.

Bakura pushed her off and looked around. They were inside the graveyard that the road was leading to. "I guess we just keep walking."

For the first time ever, Akito nodded seriously. She began to walk when Bakura stopped her.

Bakura took one step and fell into a freshly dug hole. Akito looked over and she jumped down.

"You aren't supposed to be here." She pointed at the gravestone. It read 'Hahaha, I've never been so happy in my life!'

"So what to do now-" Bakura was interrupted by a rumbling sound. "What the-?"

"I'm hungry," she said. Then she jerked up quickly. "Oh, crap!" She looked through her pockets. "I didn't pack a lunch!"

Bakura hit her behind her head. Akito wobbled backwards and she pushed a trigger. The ground opened and they fell through. Bakura yelled,"WWWHHHYYY DDDOOOEEESSSS THIIISSSS KEEEEPPPPP HAPPPEENNNIIINNNGGG TTTOOOO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!" Akito yelled,"HIT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Tasuki gave a girlish scream when she saw that she had landed in a field of green grass and pink fluffy bunnies were hopping around. Inu-Yasha landed on her and got off to keep Tasuki's teeth away from his ass. He looked around and did nothing while Tasuki screamed like a little girl and was bashing her head against a tree that had candy for its leaves.

"How did we get here?" Inu-Yasha asked absently. Tasuki heard him and bashed him on the head with a brick she pulled out of the road.

"Damn you!" she yelled.

Inu-Yasha ignored her and sat down with his arms crossed. That made Tasuki scream and rant, running in circles like a fool. The bunnies went to her and settled in her hair. "GET OFF YOU CREATURES FROM HELL!"

Inu-Yasha looked up with a spark in his eyes. "I remember! I was traveling on the yellow brick road and then we ran into three separate roads! And then I…uh oh…"

Tasuki was breathing hard from her nose as she stormed to him. "I…will….get…my…revenge…" she hissed, took out a club and whacked Inu-Yasha so many times the peaceful place was no longer peaceful.

Marik was screaming and kept screaming until he realized that he wasn't going to land on the ground. He stopped at a mid-scream when Kyo went wheeee.

"Hey, where are we?" he asked, looking around. There were a lot of toys floating in the air and they were mostly Barbies and Hot Wheels cars.

Kyo poked at a Barbie, poured kerosene, and set it on fire. "BURN!" she yelled. This caused a chain reaction. The flames spread to the rest of the Barbies, it melted the Hot Wheels cars, and it set Marik's ass on fire.

He screamed and, since there wasn't a ground to roll on, he ran around screaming like a fool. Kyo looked at him for a few seconds, sat down, took out a remote, and was clicking the buttons. Whenever she did, the vortex would change scenes. Button 1 = watch Marik do the chicken dance. Button 2 = watch Marik do the polka. Button 3 = watch Marik try to put the flames out of his ass. Button 4 = watch Marik wrestle with Barney. Button 5 = watch Marik try to make the Teletubbies go straight. Button 6 = watch Marik be attacked by rabid squirrels. Button 7 = watch Marik in the Wizard of Oz. Button 8 = the Nature Channel…featuring squirrels. Button 9 = the Discovery Channel…with the evolutions of monkeys. Button 10 = the cheese channel.

"Oh, I like this one!" Kyo said happily. She set down the remote and ignored Marik's cries to press the Button 3. "Hey! Neko-chan! You should watch this! Neko-chan? Neko-chan? Hey, where are you?" she looked around.

Akito poked at Bakura who was unconscious because Akito had accidentally whacked him with the cue stick that she still had. "Hey, Fluffy?" she jabbed at his head. When she did not hear a response, she elbowed him at the stomach.

Bakura yelled and screamed," You could have killed me!!!" He glared at Akito and rubbed his sore spot. Akito took out a marker and began to draw on the cue stick over the stuff Inu-Yasha did.

"Hey, do you have any idea how to get out of here?" Bakura said.

"We follow the yellow brick road!"

Bakura turned and wondered why he even bothered to ask. He was going to leave her there when Akito let out a scream.

"What is it?" he said.

"Nothing!" she pounced on his head and it caused him to fall to the ground. She smiled happily. Bakura hissed like a cat that had just been sat on. Which was probably true.

"Will you get off?" he struggled but Akito slapped his head and dug into her pockets. She took out a hairbrush and said, "I'm going to play with Fluffy's hair!!" She also dug into Bakura's pocket to search for hair gel. Finding none, she pulled out her own. After several hours, Bakura's hair had been spiked to look like Yami, twisted to look like Sailor Moon, braided into pigtails, and Akito tried to make it to look like Marik but had no luck. Finally, she settled to leave it the way it was.

Bakura was mentally making a list of reasons he should kill her. Then, he heard to sound of scissors! And it was not trimming!

He screamed and ran from her. Knowing what he was going to find, he touched the back of his head. His long white hair had been cut to his shoulders and it was not spiky anymore! Snarling, he snatched the mirror Akito was holding and screamed like a girl.

His hair was cut so short he looked identical to Tsukasa!!!

"Damn you!!" he rushed forward to strangle Akito who was grinning like a maniac. He had pounded her to the ground and was about to beat the crap out of her when Akito's eyes widened and she pointed to his hair again.

"Oh…shit," she whispered. Bakura frowned and Akito took out the mirror and Bakura stared.

Now his hair was turning from its usual white to black!!!! Bakura yelled and jerked off Akito who was reading the hair gel she used. "NOT TO BE USED ON WHITE HAIR! THIS GEL IS FOR BLACK HAIR ONLY!!" she read. "Hey, Fluffy!" she called. "This is for black haired people! And you've got white hair…so…oh… no."

Bakura went and was glowering at her. He took the gel and squeezed the entire thing onto Akito's hair. "Now you have to suffer!"

Akito's hair became blacker. "It's for black, silly! It won't work on me!" she said. She patted Bakura like he was a kitty and she walked off, whistling. Bakura grumbled and followed, determined to get revenge.

"How do we get out of here!" Tasuki shouted to the heavens. Then she turned to Inu-Yasha. "It was all your fault! We would not be here if you had not pushed me into the road!"

"Well, look on the bright side. We have light here!" Inu-Yasha said. Then he looked at the sky. "Hey, is the sky going to fall anytime soon?"

"AARRRGGGGHHHH!" Tasuki knocked herself out by running to a tree.

"That must have hurt." Inu-Yasha said. He took her by the collar and dragged her down the field. Literally.

Kyo clicked the buttons one more time and tossed it away. "There isn't anything good on!" she said. She took out a comic and read while Marik was yelling at her to change the channel so he could get rid of the flames that were still on his ass.

"Hey, where'd Neko-chan go?" she asked. She got up and wandered away, the remote long forgotten.

(Shadowy person)

"Hey, what's this remote doing here?" she picked it up and clicked Button 3.

Marik put out the flames and ran to Kyo's direction.

"Well, that was fun," she placed the remote down and disappeared.

(Where Yami is)

A few hours already passed and the show was still playing. Yami had screamed himself hoarse and twitched at the sight of talking sponges and drugged snails.

Then, the show CHANGED!! "Yay!" Yami whispered.

Then Barney came on!!! "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed.
