~Disclaimer... Me no own Yugioh. Me own Pierce. Me own Sacred Neko Ears of Inspiration! (^_^ next chapter people)

Nika: Y'know, out of all my people, the one I would say is most out of character is Sesshoumaru. But I say that no fanfic is capable of keeping someone completely in character because only the creator knows how they would react in any given situation.

Pegasus: What creator? Pierce: You mean God, right? Bakura: No. No. No. She means Ra! Yuugi: You're both wrong. She means Kami.

Pierce: GOD! Bakura: RA! Yuugi: KAMI!! Pierce: GOD! Bakura: RA! Yuugi: KAMI!!

Nika: Actually, Pierce. I created you.

Pierce: .........oh.

Nika: And I was talking about Rumiko Takahashi. Sesshoumaru's creator.

Yuugi: Ru... Bakura: ...mi... Pierce: ...ko...?

Nika: Nevermind. She doesn't have anything to do with you. I really don't know who created you.

All: .....oh.

Bakura: RA!!! Yuugi: KAMI!! Bakura: RA!!! Yuugi: KAMI!!! Pegasus: GIANT FLYING MARSHMALLOW, DUCK!!!

All: O_o

Bakura: A giant flying marshmallow duck..? How can a duck, no matter what it's made of or how big it is, create us?

Pegasus: (points into sky) NO!! It's a Giant Flying Marshmallow!! DUCK!!!

(Everyone turns around just in time to be splattered with Marshmallow goo as Mistress Nika blows it up with a Kawaii-Launcher. Pierce, Bakura and Yuugi glare at Pegasus)

Pegasus: (with a smug look) Hey, I told you. You should have listened.

Bakura: -_- ....GET HIM!!!!

Chapter Twelve:

"Pierce is Living With Malik!?"

A week had passed and both Pierce and Bakura had gone back to normal. Well, normal for them anyway. Pierce remembered all that had happened and knew the truth about herself. She didn't have any specific memories of her past though, which was good. Apparently she didn't remember that Bakura had raped Amunet. Even though she knew what he had tried to do to her, she seemed strangely tolerant of him.

Kaiba had Bakura arrested for attempted rape, but the next day Pierce had him released. When questioned on her actions by her friends she had said that she had him released for three reasons. One, the criminal justice system wasn't ready for Yami Bakura. Two, after an hour he started sending people to the Shadow Realm. And three, how was she supposed to get her revenge if he was locked up? Then she had given a classic super-villan laugh and they decided to stop questioning her.

Kaiba, Pierce and Malik decided not to tell the others the truth about Pierce and it had been kept secret. School had passed with the normal amount of chaos. It seemed that Pierce and Kaiba had taken it upon themselves to cause a scene in every way possible. First there was the open displays of affection between the two couples. Then they had planned another lunchroom caper by way of stuffing Bakura into a pink dress and shoving him in the doors...and then locking them behind him. Then there was the scene when Mokuba had shown up with his cuteness factor to maximum. After getting every girl, both teacher and student, to fawn over him he had declared in his ultimate kawaii voice with giant puppy-dog eyes that "Bakura is a meany!" After that Bakura was attacked by every female he came across for transgressing against their new school mascot! (A/N=no one can resist Mokuba's cuteness!)

Finally, they enlisted Ryou in their diabolic schemes. They had Ryou hide a video camera and catch Bakura being nice. The next day, his reputation changed drastically. Thanks to 'someone's' technical skills the school-wide television system clearly displayed Bakura cuddling Ryou on the couch while watching The Wizard of Oz. Every so often he would lovingly stroke Ryou's hair and when he saw his hikari was asleep...he whispered that he loved him! Yes, from then on every girl went from pounding him to glomping him. The general consensus among the female population of the school was that no one that sweet could be totally evil. Bakura had announced quite loudly several times that the entire female race was completely insane and all of them had it in for him. They had other plans, but unfortunately that was all they could fit in that week.

That leads us to where we are today. It's currently eight o'clock on a Saturday morning. Now most people would be lounging around the house, blearily sitting down to breakfast or still fast asleep in their beds. However that was not the case for three people. Yuugi, Yami, and Honda were walking down the sidewalk chatting about their recent discovery.

"So you're sure it was her?" Honda asked for the millionth time.

"Yes," Yami replied. "There's no doubt about it. The girl I saw in my dream last night was Pierce. She was dressed like a priestess and walking with Seth through the palace."

Yuugi nodded. "We knew she had a yami...or hikari, but we've never spoken to her. I guess it could be that her other half was an ancient priestess. I wonder if she knows."

Yami narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, whether or not she knows, I believe Malik knows. And we're going to get some straight answers from him for once!"

~~~At the Ishtar's~~~

There was a knock at the door and Malik's voice called out, "Sister! Someone's at the door!"

Isis emerged from the kitchen and threw him an annoyed glare, but her glare was stopped by the back of the couch. So she opted for an insult instead. "And why can't you get it? I'm making breakfast."

A magazine popped up from behind the couch, proving that Malik was indeed laying on it. "I'm busy!" he called and the magazine disappeared back from whense it come.

Her eyes narrowed suspiciously and she said slowly, "How busy?"

Suddenly Malik's head shot up from it's hiding place, his eyes wide with shock at his sister's implication. "Not THAT busy!!" he said quickly.

Isis nodded, still suspicious, but went to answer the door. As soon as Isis left the room, Malik's head disappeared back behind the couch. A feminine giggle drifted out.

Opening the door Isis found the three males standing there.

"Hi, Isis!" Yuugi greeted her warmly. "We're here to see Malik."

Yami just glared as always. Honda only seemed mildly interested.

Isis smiled knowingly and said, "Of course. Come in." She stepped back, opening the door and allowing them to enter. "Malik is in the living room on the couch. Go on in."

Yuugi thanked her and the three made their way to the living room. A lock of blonde hair hung over the side of the couch off the arm and Yuugi assumed that unless another blonde had moved in it had to be Malik.

"Malik!" Yami said as they approached the couch, "I want some answers!"

Yuugi shushed his darker half and said, "What he means is we need to talk to you about..."

Yuugi paused with shock as he, Yami and Honda took in the scene before them with wide eyes. Malik was laying on his back on the couch with a magazine in his hands reading it. He was wearing only a pair of white boxers with little purple hearts on them. Pausing in his reading he placed the magazine across his bare chest and looked up at them with a sly grin.

"And what can I do for you this morning?" he asked smoothly.

All Yuugi could do was stutter. It wasn't exactly Malik's state of dress that had them stunned. It was who was beside the couch on the floor.

"PIERCE!?" all three boys exclaimed at the same time.

She was currently laying on her stomach engrossed in a video game. She wore black-and-gray plaid pajama pants and a short-sleeved, white and gray shirt with a cat's face on the front. Her long black hair was pulled up in pigtails and fell about her body on the carpet beneath her.

Hearing her name she paused the game and flipped over on her back.

"Hi guys!" she said cheerily.

"P...Pierce!" Yuugi stammered. "What are you doing here!?"

She opened her mouth to answer but Honda jumped in with, "Malik! You sly dog you!" He poked Malik, who had sat up and abandoned his magazine, in the shoulder and winked at him. "Good going buddy!"

Malik just batted Honda's hand away and muttered, "Oh please."

Pierce stared at Honda like he had just confessed his undying love for Pegasus. After shaking her head she said offhandedly, "Eh, my parents kicked me out again. Isis was kind enough to offer me a place to stay."

Yuugi nodded with understanding. "Oh." he said. "Why...why did they kick you out?" He really didn't want to pry into her personal life.

Pierce chuckled slightly and rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "Well, my mother was on one of her rants and I was getting tired of it. Normally I would have just left the room but this time I called both her and my father pathetic fools and broke a lamp. They...uh...weren't too happy about that. Especially since the lamp was an antique."

Yami was more than a little upset. He had come specifically to get answers about Pierce, but with her there it didn't look like that was going to happen. He didn't know how much she knew about herself and didn't want to be the one to break her view of life with tales of magic, reincarnation and battles for the fate of the world.

Pierce was getting uncomfortable. Both Yami and Yuugi were staring at her with these creepy looks in their eyes. No one was saying anything either. Honda was getting extremely bored and kept looking from place to place. Malik had gone back to reading his magazine. *I wonder what that is he's reading anyway.* she thought. And there she was sitting on the floor like a moron and staring back at the two who's gazes never left her. Yuugi kept shifting from foot to foot, obviously nervous and not wanting to be there. But Yami. He looked a cross between being in deep thought and being a bit angry.

What do you think is his problem? Pierce asked silently.

He came to ask Malik about us, but because we're here he can't. Amunet replied.

Oh. Pierce thought for a minute then said, Do you think we should tell him everything?

Pierce heard Amunet laugh. But you don't even know everything, tenshi!

She growled in response. That's what you think! That quickly got her silence in response. Feeling more than a little haughty she said, You wanna know what I remember? I remember that you were madly in love with that pharaoh standing not five feet from us! And that he didn't love you! Take that, Amy!

Satisfied that she had stunned her previous incarnation into silence she turned her attention back to her and Yami's little staring match. But after a few more minutes, she had enough.

"Hey, baka pharaoh!" she said, intending it to be a joke. "What's on your mind?"

Yami immediately snapped out of it.

"What did you call me?" he asked suspiciously.

*Oops!* she thought. "Uhhh..." she said uncertainly, "Baka pharaoh? It was a joke! I don't mean you're a baka! I mean, I heard Malik say it and... Not that he calls you baka pharaoh either! I mean...please don't kill me?" she finished meekly hoping to hold off his wrath.

He eyed her and said, "How do you know who I am?"

Rambling on she said, "Well, that's what you are. And I was always loyal to you. I would never really insult you. I didn't mean to insult you. I don't think I ever said a cross word to you...except that time. But that's another story! Not that I remember everything anyway...but I don't think I would have intentionally insulted you. Well, there was that time...but those were different circumstances. And really it was your fault! And it wasn't really me anyway. I mean, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you, but she did. But we're really the same person, but somehow right now we're different. And I'm still loyal to you! I don't hold what you did to us all those years ago against you. Not that you remember anyway...I mean...do you?"

She had succeeded in gaining everyone's attention. Honda was staring at her blankly. Yuugi kept blinking, trying to make sense of her words. And Yami stared at her just as he had been before.

"Remember what?" Yami asked.

Malik slapped a hand to his forehead. "You had to say that, didn't you?" he asked Pierce.

She laughed self-consciously and leaped to her feet. "I think I'm gonna get dressed now!" she said and quickly dashed out of the room and up the stairs, leaving Malik to explain as best a possible.

_________________________________________________________

(A/N) You people are so gonna hate me! I'm working on three other fics right now, none of which are posted. So I'm probably gonna slow down in updates. One a week will be lucky. But I promise I won't go more than three weeks without updating! I swear! And I WILL finish this! That is...if I can rediscover my plot. Um, I know in an earlier chapter Isis hinted to a "big bad", but I really don't feel like making this a "big bad" fic anymore. Will you hate me if I don't give them something to fight? Can you overlook that little paragraph or so in whatever chapter that was? Did anyone notice it in the first place? And if so, did you even remember it until now?

(A/N-2) Next chapter will include a little item called the Sacred Neko Ears of Inspiration. These are real! They're mine! Whenever I wear them I suddenly become inspired! People have learned how to tell when I've been writing by whether or not I come out of my room wearing them. ^__^ Of course, just last night I was inspired by a bowl of chili. Weird, ne? You can blame the bowl of chili for me not updating as quick because it made me start a new fic. Yep! Yep! ^____^

(A/N-3) I uploaded a pic of Pierce in her pajamas to my new site. http://www.freewebs.com/nikafics I know I didn't do a very good job describing them.

________________________________________________________

Reviews are often better at inspiring than the SACRED NEKO EARS!!!! *pant-pant* I'm okay! *wheeze-pant*

Rei Akita: Okay, you just guessed. But I guess it's okay you guessed because no one has to guess now. I guess. Now everyone knows Amunet was in love with Yami. ^__^

Reine Keri: Yep! They're back together! OMG! Can you imagine how much havoc Pierce and Kaiba can wreak together!? This was just a little taste of it! [Seto: heh-heh Thank you for the indestructible keyboard. Hey, Bakura! Come here! *whacks Bakura* You're right! It IS indestructible!!

Liviania: ^__^ I like that song too! Yeah, less suspense. Don't know what I'm gonna do now! Sugar doesn't make you hyper! OoO I just found that out! It's caffeine! I saw it on some medical show. Weird... Oh well! *eats a bag of sugar* @__@

LoveLiesBleeding: *sobs uncontrollably* I've looked everywhere and I can't find a picture of Malik in boxers for my site!!! I've found Bakura in boxers, Seto in boxers, Yami in boxers...but no Malik!! Waaahhhh!!!!! *stops crying* ^__^ You had me scared for a minute! Never have I had someone say they don't want to see Seto kiss Jou! I have tons of pics like that! *goes off to ogle her pics*

lilhillbillie: Awwww. Thank you! Meaningless praise will get you everything! Hey, moving is a big excuse! I know you don't have time to read! Um, thanks for the compliment but, my writing style hasn't "matured" at all. I've been writing the same way since I first started posting like two or three months ago. Not to mention I've been writing the same way for the past...um...however many years I've been writing. I really don't think this fic is as descriptive as say...the later chapters of "Unleashed." But that's because I write dark better. I'm not very good at describing happy things. Thanks for visiting Rin's site too! She's proud of it! ^__^

Psychotic Chibi-Usa: Thankies!! And no, Ryou. There will not be "another little insane authoress-offspring" He will happen to be quite sane with an attitude like his father's! (I see the future. ~_^) Oooh!!! A chibi Ryou!! Just when I thought he couldn't get any more kawaii!! I want a chibi Ryou! *looks for her clone machine and her chibi ray*
