[Bakura to Ryou and back]

{Yugi to Yami and back}

// Ishtar to Malik//

\\ Malik to Ishtar\\ 

~ Ryou and his conscience talking~

 Couples- Yugi/ Malik. Ishtar/ Ryou. Yami/ Bakura. 

Malik, Yugi and Yami were all on a plane, destined for Australia.

"Why couldn't we go to Egypt?" Yami asked. Yugi shrugged and went to make out with Malik in the toilets. Yami sighed.

{Yugi?} Yami heard a loud moan through their mental link.

{YUGI!}

{What?}

{Will you please keep me company and stop being a freakin' sexaholic?!}

Yugi came back out and sat down next to Yami. Malik had to sit behind them.

Few minutes passed by.

"So, um… what's in Australia?" Malik asked.

"Kangaroos, koalas, stuff like that." Yugi muttered, looking thoroughly bored. He took out a book and started eating it.

"Why're you eating a book?"

" 'Cause the food here tastes worse."

Back in Hawaii:

"RYOU!"

"What?"

"Come here!"

"Why?" Ryou came into the room, where Bakura was sitting. He hadn't been off the settee all day.

"Turn the channel." The remote was at arms length. Ryou scowled and shoved the remote at him.

"Ryou?" Ryou was at boiling point. The thundered into the bedroom where Ishtar was.

"WHAT?!"

"I don't feel right. It's like my soul's in two bits."

"It is duh! Malik's on a plane flying a million miles away probably."

"Weren't you like this when Bakura came back here without you?"

"Yeah, but I lived with it. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to get some rest before Bakura makes me get him anything again.

In airport:

Yugi shoved Yami off the plane, Malik following close behind.

"Wow, Australia is different!" Malik said, looking round everywhere.

"Yeah, can I go to sleep now?" Yami asked.

"Don't be an idiot! We're going to Bondi beach!"

"I need sleep!"

"Shut it Yami." 

"Where's Bondi beach?" asked Malik.

"It's over there." Answered Yugi. There was a huge beach just infront of them, with huge waves and beautiful sand.

"Wow…"

Five minutes later, they were at the beach. Yugi went and bought three beach towels and ice cream, while Yami tried to find a shady spot to go to sleep in.

"Aren't you gonna work on a tan?" asked Yugi.

"Nope. I'm gonna work on sleeping." Yugi sighed and chucked a towel at him.

"I'm having his ice cream then." He muttered.

Half an hour later:

Yugi was scorched. He had been reading this book on what was in Australia, and Malik had been in the sea. Yugi was now totally sun burnt. He walked up to where Yami was in the shade.

"Yami, help." Yami sat up slowly and laughed.

"Stayed in the sun to long huh?"

"Yep. It hurts!"

"It will moron. Get in the shade." He said, moving so that Yugi could sit down in the shade. Malik came running over to them.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"Can't you see? I've got sun burn."

"Oh. Um, this might be a bad time, but do you know where the arcades are? I couldn't find the ones in kaiba's mansion, and I really like arcades."

In Hawaii:

Ryou was asleep, though not for long.

"RYOU!" Ryou groaned and sat up.

"What?"

"I need food!"

"I'm not stopping you eat, Bakura!"

"Come and cook something for me then!" Ryou sighed and got wearily up.

"That's it. Somehow, I'm going to wherever Yugi is."

At dinner:

Ryou and Ishtar were sitting at the table in the kitchen. Bakura still hadn't moved off the settee, so Ryou could talk about whatever he wanted.

"Ishtar?"

"Mm?"

"Can you still talk to Malik?"

"I dunno. I haven't tried."

"Well can you please?"

"Why?"

"Just try."

// Malik? // 

\\ What? \\

"yep I still can."

"Ask where they are."

// Where are you? //

\\ I'm not telling you. \\

// Why not? //

\\ Because you'll come after us. \\

// No I wont! Ryou wants to know. //

Australia:

"Ryou wants to know where we are." Malik said.

"How do you know?"

"He got Ishtar to ask."

"Oh… tell him then."

"What?"

"Tell him. I don't mind Ryou knowing, just say that if he comes looking for us, I'll kill him."

Hawaii:

Ishtar listened quietly.

// Ok, thanks. //

"Malik said that they're in Australia, and Yugi said he'll kill you if you go anywhere near him."

"Oh." Ryou sighed and went back to eating.

"Why did you want to know?"

"I need refuge. Bakura's been running me ragged and I really need to get away from him. I know he and Yami are both victims, but I bet Yugi isn't slaving over him just 'cause he feels sorry for himself."

"YOU'RE LEAVING ME?" Ishtar wailed.

"Sh! It'll only be for a while. You can cope for a couple of days can't you?"

"I guess so."

"Here. Take the ring. If I take it with me, Bakura can follow me."

Ryou went out after dinner, saying to Bakura he was going to a shop.

~ Liar ~

~ I'm not a liar… the airport is a kind of shop. You buy stuff there. ~

~ Liar~

~ Leave me alone~

Ryou walked into the airport, paid for his ticket and got the next flight to Australia. He knew it would take a while to get there, and it would be hard to find Yugi once he was there, but at least if he went, he would still have a break from Bakura.

~ You're being stupid. Yugi said that if you followed them, the he would kill you. ~

~ I think… well I hope that he only meant if I brought Bakura with me. ~

~ Fine. But don't come crying to me when you're dead. ~

~ HONESTLY! With you and Bakura inside my head, it's no wonder I'm always second-guessing myself! ~

Back in Australia:

"You know, I reckon Ryou'll come out here to get away from Bakura."

"Why?"

"Well, Bakura's a pain." Malik looked over to Yugi, who was sitting very still, occasionally shifting slightly to get more into the shade.

"But you told him not to."

"Yeah, but Ryou knows I don't mind him coming over, as long as he doesn't bring Bakura with him." Yugi saw Yami flinch slightly every time he said Bakura's name. "Sorry." he muttered. Yami sighed and rolled over into the sun.

"Well, we'll have to find a place to stay soon." Malik said.

"Yep! We're staying in the building right behind us!" Malik turned round to see a huge cream building that looked half like a palace.

"Can we afford that?!"

"You can't, but I can!" Yugi grinned and got carefully up, trying not to lean too heavily on his sunburn. He limped over the road with Malik and Yami, and signed in for a room.

He walked up to the lift and smiled.

"I love lifts." He said. Malik rolled his eyes and got into the lift.

Next day:

Yugi hadn't got much sleep that night. Yami had stayed up all night because he was paranoid. Yugi finally got an hour's sleep when Yami drifted off at five in the morning. At six, Malik shook him awake again and pulled him out of bed to the door.

"It's Ryou." He whispered.

"Did you let him in?"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

" 'Cause." Yugi sighed and opened the door to Ryou. Ryou blushed slightly when he saw Yugi in only his boxers. Yugi looked around of a sign of Bakura, then let Ryou in, saying,

"Hello, come in, don't wake Yami, I'm going back to sleep." He then plodded back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

Ryou sat down nervously, glancing down at Yami who was in a ball on the floor twitching. Malik re-entered the room fully dressed.

"Hello." He said, "why're you here?"

"I need to get away from Bakura." He started, but was stopped when Yami jolted awake and yelped.

"Don't say his name! Speak of the devil and he will appear! I read that in a book… books are always right you know. They have facts in them and stuff. That's why Yugi's so clever! He reads yes. He reads." Malik rolled his eyes and put his arm round Yami.

"It's ok. B… the tomb robber isn't here. Its just Ryou." Yami settled down a bit and lay back down shivering and mumbling incomprehensible words. 

"I see it's hit him pretty hard." Ryou whispered.

"Hmm. It's funny, he's only like it in the morning and at night time. He was fine all yesterday afternoon. Anyway, how'd you know where we were?"

"Well, I got here at about one o'clock this morning, and I was gonna stay at the hotel round the side, which isn't as glamorous as this one, but I though since I'm on holiday, I may as well spend loads of money. So I came here, and there was this old guy at reception. He started waffling on about me being albino, he said " we've never had so many freaks since that party back a couple of years ago! There was a group back then that dyed their hair different colours too! This couple of weirdos got a room and two of 'em looked exactly alike! Freaked out I was!"  So then I asked where they were 'cause I figured it was you guys, and he told me!"

A couple of hours passed by. Ryou fell asleep because he had jet lag, and Malik watched TV. Yugi woke up at nine and got up. He walked back into the living room fully dressed. He saw Ryou asleep, Yami dosing and Malik infront of the TV. He smiled and took great pleasure in shaking Ryou awake. Ryou shot up and looked round. Seeing Yugi he scowled at him.

"Why'd you wake me?"

"I felt like it." Yugi said simply. Yami stirred slightly. Yugi bent down.

"Hi. How're you doing?"

"Ok I guess. Where're we going today?"

"We're taking safety precautions. We're leaving."  Yami sighed sadly.

"I wanna stay."

"Tell you what then, you can pick the next place we go to."

"EGYPT!"

Hawaii:

Bakura smashed Ishtar up against the wall.

"WHERE'S RYOU?!" Ishtar choked and Bakura let him go. "Ah forget it, I'll go see myself." He disappeared into the ring, which was actually in Ishtar's pocket. Bakura reappeared seconds later. "WHAT THE!?"

"Ryou gave it to me so you couldn't follow him." Ishtar gasped, managing one soft laugh. Bakura glowered at him. He snatched the ring off Ishtar and punched him.

"Where is he?"

"I dunno."

"WHERE IS HE?" Ishtar shrugged and ran from the room. Bakura didn't pursue. He sighed and sat down. Why does Ryou always take pharaoh's side? He thought sadly.

Australia:

Packed and ready to leave, Ryou, Yugi, Malik and Yami were in a shop, buying postcards.

"What's the point in getting postcards when we're just about to go?" asked Ryou.

"Well, we can't send Ishtar a postcard halfway through our trip can we? What if B… tomb robber gets hold of it and finds out where we are?" Yugi faltered, glancing over to Yami. Yami however, was much too excited about going back to his homeland to worry about what Yugi was saying.

Ryou decided to get the postcard. He addressed it only to Ishtar to piss Bakura off.

Dear Ishtar,

Arrived safely, found Yugi and co.

Hope you're well and Bakura isn't being a handful. Just thought you might want to know:

Yugi has bad sunburn and Malik's a casino addict. 

We're leaving to go somewhere else now,

 I can't tell you where we're going because of Bakura, but it's somewhere nice.

Luv

     Ryou. 

The postcard had a picture of Bondi beach on it and 'I wish you were here in… AUSTRALIA' written on it.

"There we go." Ryou said cheerfully. He gave the postcard to Yugi, who stuck a stamp on it and posted it.

"Can we go now?" Yami asked. He was dancing with anticipation… literally. Yugi smiled and led Yami to the plane. He ran on board and sat down swiftly on the first seat he saw.

"Our seats are down there Yami." Yugi said, pulling Yami off the seat and going to the back.

Soon, everyone was in and ready to go.

"Why aren't we moving?" Yami asked, all the patience he ever had had obviously flown out the window.

"People are still getting on Yami." Yami growled and stood up.

"HURRY UP AND SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN SO I CAN GO!" he yelled. Yugi shrunk down into his seat and went red.

"Yami…" he muttered, pulling him down.

"What?" Yami asked, looking innocently at Yugi. Ryou giggled and Yami smiled at him. "I didn't do anything." He said.

Halfway though the flight, Yami complained that the plane wasn't going fast enough.

"You'd think with all this modern stuff, they'd have invented something to zap us there in two seconds." He fumed. Ryou smiled. He was on his own with Yami because Yugi and Malik were in the toilets.

[Ryou?]

[Bakura?] it was faint, but Ryou could still here Bakura. [How can I still hear you?]

[I dunno. Listen, where are you?]

[On a plane.]

[WHAT?! Where to? With who?]

[Yugi, Malik… and Yami]

[…]

[Bakura?]

[…] Ryou shut off his link and sat quietly.

"What did he want?" Yami could always tell when someone was talking to their souls partners. 

"Huh? Oh he just… wanted to know where I was." Panic ran across Yami's face.

"You didn't tell him?"

"No." Yami sighed in relief.

"Thank god for that. OH! I should be saying Ra now, we're in Egypt!" Ryou looked out of the window and saw the sphinx down below them.

"Tell Yugi." Yami nodded.

{Yugi?}

{*Loud moans* what?}

{We're in Egypt.}

{Oh fuck.} A loud banging and crashing was heard, and then Yugi and Malik came out, Malik looking pissed off.

"Will you stop doing that pharaoh?" he snapped. Yami grinned and looked out the window. They were now flying over pyramids. Yami got excited… well, even more.

Hawaii about five minutes ago:

Bakura found Ishtar under the bed. He dragged him out by the hair and pulled him to his feet.

"Ow! Don't do that!" Bakura glared at him.

"Why didn't you tell me Ryou was with pharaoh?" Ishtar looked shocked.

"With the pharaoh? Are you sure?" although Bakura didn't know it, they were talking about entirely different things.

"YES! With the pharaoh on a plane somewhere!" Ishtar looked hurt and crawled back under the bed. Bakura frowned and went back into the living room.

//Malik? // 

\\ *Moans* Yeah? \\

// Where's Ryou? //

\\ With Yami \\ Ishtar slammed off his mental link. He would know if Malik was lying. He sighed sadly. I should have never let him go…

Egypt:

"That was my pyramid. It's in ruins! Where are the slaves? I'll kill them for this! I'll have their heads on pikes and I'll…" Yami carried on and on, but Yugi, Ryou and Malik weren't listening.

"The only place to stay is miles away. It'd take about three hours to get to! I guess it's just as well really… it doesn't look like Yami's going to leave the pyramids." Yugi looked over to Yami, who was hugging a pyramid and talking to it in a soothing voice. "He's lost the plot…" Malik nodded.

"Yami?" Yami looked up.

"What Yugi?"

"We need some place to stay, any ideas?" Yami grinned, ran up to Yugi and pulled him back to the pyramid by his arm.

"See this?" Yami asked, pointing to a picture that looked just like him. "When I touch it, it lets me, and only me in…so no one else has been in here since the time I was alive." He smiled and touched it. A huge doorway opened up in the side of the pyramid. Yugi called Malik and Ryou over and quickly ran in before anyone saw them. Yami followed in, happy to see the awed faces.

The room had comfy red settees and beds, with candles for light and hieroglyphics on the walls. It was decorated in purple silk and looked fabulous.

"Wow." Was all Yugi could say.  

Hawaii:

Ishtar stayed under the bed all night, sulking. Ryou was with Yami. Just like Yugi was with Malik. Why couldn't Yami get his own lover, not his? Ishtar was custom-made to think the worst and jump to conclusions.

// Malik? //

\\ I'm busy right now. \\

// Where's Ryou? //

\\ Outside with Yami. \\

// Why? //

\\ 'Cause this is only part of the pyramid and it's quite small! Oops…\\

// Pyramid? YOU'RE IN EGYPT!? // Ishtar closed his mental link and hurriedly rushed out the door to the airport.

Not knowing when the next time was for the plane to Egypt was frustrating, so when he got there and found that the next plane was in five hours time, he wanted to kill someone.

Two hours passed. Ishtar sat on his own, cautiously, watching everything as if it would bite him. Then he thought of something.

// Malik? //

\\WILL YOU EVER LEAVE ME ALONE?!//

\\ Nope. Listen, you know pharaoh and Bakura can apparate to where their hikaris are? \\

// Yeah…//

\\ Can I? \\

// Dunno. You never tried.// Ishtar thought for a while.

\\ Ok, I'm gonna try.\\

// How? // Ishtar shut off the mental link and thought for a while. Ok brain, if you're still up there, can you get me to Egypt where Malik is? To Ishtar's surprise, a blinding light surrounded him. He closed his eyes, and opened them when the light had gone. He was in a pyramid. Where's Malik? He thought.

"Don't turn around."

"Why?"

"Just wait there a minute." Ishtar stayed where he was and heard someone get up and cross the room, then go back again.

"Ok, you can turn around now." Ishtar did. Behind him were Yugi and Malik, who were covered by a sheet. It obviously hadn't been there before, so Yugi had had to get one from the other side of the room.

"Where's Ryou?"

"Outside with Yami. I told you that when you were in Hawaii!" Malik snapped.

Ishtar walked silently outside. He crept up behind Yami and Ryou to eavesdrop on them.

"Does it rain in Egypt?" Yami laughed.

"Of course it does! If it didn't rain then I'd have not lived past three days old!"

"Hmm… I wonder how Ishtar's doing…Bakura's going to make his life a misery." Yami flinched again and curled into a small ball. Ryou put his arm round him. "I'm sorry! You can hit me if it'll make you feel better." Yami uncurled himself.

"Don't be stupid. Why would I do that? You're my friend… I think."

"Yeah, Yeah you are." Yami smiled and got up, hand outstretched.

"Come on. Let's see if they're done in there or not." Ryou took Yami's hand and got up.

They walked back to the pyramid side and looked in. Yugi and Malik were nowhere near finished.

"Sheesh!" Ryou exclaimed. Yami grinned and pushed Ryou away from the entrance of the cave.

"Let em have they're fun. It's not very often a relationship lasts like theirs will."

"What about mine?"

"I'm not trying to offend you or anything, but I knew Ishtar. He used to change lovers like the weather. When he gets bored, he'll ditch you."

"THAT IS SO NOT TRUE!" Ishtar yelled from his hideout. "Bloody stuck up pharaohs! Trying to ruin my bloody life!"

"Ishtar!" Ryou ran up to him and jumped on him. "Hi!"

"Hello." Yami muttered. He wasn't too thrilled to see him here. *Yami's logic* if he's here then the tomb robber is on his own, which means he'll try to track us down. *End Yami's logic*

"How many times did you two have sex?" Ishtar asked suspiciously. Ryou burst out laughing.

"Me and Yami? That's the funniest thing I've heard in months! That almost outruns that time when I couldn't get Yugi to stop laughing! Almost!" Yami looked hurt. "Sorry Yami, but on the whole, that's ludicrous!" Ryou ended, before rolling off Ishtar and banging his fists on the ground.

"I guess that is kinda stupid." Yami agreed, "Where'd you get that idea?"

"Bakura." Yami cringed. Ryou rolled his eyes and led Ishtar away, round the other side of the pyramid. Soon Yami could hear two sets of moaning.

"I'm surrounded by sexaholics, literally." Yami sighed and walked off. Egypt sure has changed a lot. Yeah… that pyramid over there is where I first caught Bakura. I sentenced him to death. My guards put him in a cell, and he wasn't there in the morning. So I killed them instead. Ah… those were the days…

Hawaii, Bakura's POV

"Ishtar?" great, now everyone's left me. *Sighs* my hikari, Yugi, Ishtar… Yami… not that I should care. Dumb assed Pharaoh. It would have been all right if he hadn't come to that drink night. Everyone would still be here. My life sucks. Though, it would be nice to go out with Yami… wait… did I just say that?! Oh god… Wait, Ishtar's got the Millenium ring now, and he's gone where Malik is, so I can teleport there to Ishtar. RESULT!

Egypt, normal POV:

Yami was sleeping on one of the other sides of the pyramid. He sensed a presence that hadn't been there before. It startled him into waking. He got up wearily and headed to where Yugi and Malik were. No one else in there. Now Ryou and Ishtar. Yami turned the corner and saw Bakura edging quietly away from the sleeping pair, trying not wake them. Oh no…   

Bakura turned and saw Yami. He ran towards him. Yami's heart skipped a beat. He started running in the opposite direction.

Bakura, who was for some reason faster than Yami, jumped on him and pinned him down. Yami was breathing really fast.

"Stop that or you'll hyperventilate." Bakura snapped. Yami just breathed fasted. Bakura rolled his eyes and sighed. "Look. I'm sick of everyone always taking your side. Will you please just say that you're over it so I don't have to kill myself." Yami's eyes widened.

"Please don't hurt me." Bakura growled.

"For Ra's sake! Where's the old Pharaoh gone? Where's the Pharaoh that sentenced me to death twice in the same year? Where's the Pharaoh that put a ransom on my head that was more than you earned in a year? Will you just fight back, your pathetic!" Bakura hit a nerve. Yami pushed Bakura off him and stood up, eyes narrowed. "See? You can fight!"

"Shut up." Yami snapped, turning away from him. "My life ended when I slept with you. It's broken."

"Broken? Or made better?" Bakura asked, a hint of humour in his voice.

"How can you be so stupid?" Yami whirled round, "Can't you take anything seriously?"  Bakura thought for a while, something he didn't do a lot of.

"I've always been as serious as I can… but hey! My life's a big joke! I've just given in now! I have been thinking about something though."

"What?"

"You." Yami's eyes showed fright again. What's he up to now? "You are really sexy. I want you so badly. If you want to punch me now, can you get it over with?" Yami remained still. "Good. Look Yami, I know this is the stupidest thing I have ever said in my two lives, but… I love you."

Yami's POV

WHAT?! Loves… me? I ……. Oh my god. What do I do now? It would be easy to do one of two things, I guess.

One, run away and never come back

Two return the feeling. For all he's put me through, I should just run away, but… I don't know… maybe we're just meant to be. And maybe I need my head looked at. Either way, I'm never gonna forget the next thing I'm gonna do…

Normal POV

Yami walked up to Bakura and kissed him. Bakura opened his mouth in surprise and Yami slipped his tongue in, exploring. Bakura couldn't help but moan.

The noise woke Yugi. He sat up and woke Malik.

"What was that?"

"I don't know, I was asleep." Malik said, irritated. Yugi got up and took the sheet with him. "HEY!" Malik got up quickly and followed Yugi to the entrance of the cave. They saw Yami and Bakura kissing.

"Well, I definitely wasn't expecting that." Yugi muttered.

"That's so cute!" Malik whispered. "It's like watching you and Ryou, just older." Yugi nudged him in the ribs and went back to bed. Malik chuckled, massaging his ribs.

Morning:

Yugi, for the second time, got up and looked out of the door. Yami and Bakura were huddled together in the sand.

"Aww, so cute!" a voice behind him said. Malik had already got up and was dressed. Yugi smiled and went to get dressed.

Yami stirred slightly and woke up. He sat up dazedly and saw Bakura. He went into panic mode and then remembered last night. Oh yeah…

"Sleep well?" Yami turned to see Yugi.

"Um, I, uh yes?" Yugi laughed.

"Don't worry, I saw you last night! Kissie kissie!" Yami grinned embarrassedly. Bakura groaned and sat up.

"I've got sand everywhere." He muttered to himself. He turned to see Yami and Yugi. " 'llo." He said groggily. Yami got shakily up and pulled Bakura up. "Thanks." He smiled and kissed Bakura lightly.

At that point, Ryou and Ishtar came around and the corner of the pyramid. Ishtar spotted Bakura and squeaked. He ran up to Yami and grabbed his hand.

"I'm so sorry! I'll never trust myself again! I'm so stupid!"

"You got that right." Yami said, smiling. He pulled his hand away and laughed at Ishtar.

"Huh? Why are you happy?" Bakura slid an arm round Yami's waist and Yami cuddled up to him. The light dawned in Ishtar's head. "OH! Congrats then!"

(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)

There's the first chapter. I'M SO HAPPY TO CONTINUE!

I didn't really wait long for peoplez to say weather or not I should continue, 'coz I was struck by ideas, that's why I've already done the next chapter! Review when u want me to put the next chapter up!
