CHAPTER TWO: DOUBLE-DATE AT THE MOVIES (by Rhapsody)

"'Deep in her diabolical underground lab, the brilliant, beautiful, talented, and evil Isis planned her revenge on the meddling shrew Kikai Bakura for taking the handsome Yami back and therefore out of Isis's grasp.'  Hey, I like it…"

Isis took a deep breath of the cool sunlit air.  She was sitting in her brightly-lit hotel room planning her revenge…  And also planning a book about it.  She wrote the sentence down and then returned to her wondering.

"How might I get Yami to fall in love with me?  The same way I did the first time, of course…  And then I get to watch Kikai cry again…  Excellent," she smiled, steepling her fingers.  "Excellent…  Smithers, come here!"

"My name is Williams, Miss Isis," her bodyguard informed her as he entered the room.  "What do you need?"

She handed him a page of papyrus.  "I need these ingredients for my love potion…"

Meanwhile, scarcely a mile away, four people were double-dating as only they could—Light to Light, Dark to Dark.  They were watching a movie…  Well, at least the Lights were, the Darks were more interested in each other.  Ah, Egyptians and their skewed morals…  (No offense, Egyptian readers.)

All four of them were being watched by a strange variety of people, who were sitting in the seats behind them sharing popcorn.  First there was Shadi, whose turban was blocking the view of people behind him, and also irritating his companions because he ate too much popcorn and kept muttering, "A sequel!  This is the sequel!!!"

Sitting next to Shadi was Malik.  He had nothing better to do so he was honing his evil trailing skills and watching the Darks make out.

On the other side of Shadi was Anzu, who was irritated that she had let Yugi slip out of her grasp.  She was pouting and watching Kikai's Light and Yugi hold hands, waiting for the girl to do something wrong so Yugi would dump her.

And beside Anzu was Honda, who'd tagged along because he was deeply in love with the girl—

"Hey, since when?" he asked, frowning.

Since I said so, and I'm the author.  Anyway, he was deeply in love with her but he hid it very well.

And completing the trailing crew was Bakura, who didn't trust Yami anymore than he trusted… well, he didn't trust anyone (except Kikai) but he especially distrusted Yami because he knew what the pharaoh had done to his cousin once.  He was slumped in his seat, rubbing his hands (during his cooking lesson he had sustained a few third-degree burns, and they still stung).

Yugi got up to go to the bathroom.  Noticing the crowd that was sitting behind him, he sweatdropped.

Can't we go anywhere unsupervised? he wondered to himself.  Geez, you'd think we were dangerous criminals…

When he returned to his seat, he waited until Yami and (Dark) Kikai broke for air, and then whispered the situation to him.  Yami stood up and walked out (followed by Malik, Shadi, and Bakura).  In the lobby he confronted them.

"Why are you following us?!"

"I was bored," Malik yawned.

"It is the sequel!" Shadi said, grinning broadly.

"I don't trust you!" Bakura snarled.

"Okay, then, I can only deal with one of you at a time…  Malik, Shadi, go away, you have no grudge against me."

The pair slunk off, sulking (then doubled back and returned to their seats.  Why waste a movie ticket?).

"Why can't you just get over it, Bakura?  I'm not going to repeat my mistakes, okay?!  Kikai is fine with me."

"Yami, where did you go?" the girl said, coming out of the dark theater.  She blinked a few times, trying to see, and noticed her boyfriend and cousin.

"Oh, Bakura, what are you doing here?"

She rushed over and glomped the boy, then said, "Hey, why don't you come watch the movie with us?"

Yami opened his mouth to protest but she kissed him and he forgot to.  So the pair spent the rest of their date with Bakura in the seat next to Yami, still sulking.
