Yay, a new reviewer! And since Rhap-chan is bored, she'll answer all your questions, Trini…
(1) Glomp v. To hug someone while tackling them, which usually involves amusement by the glomper (the person who performs the glomp) and falling over by the glompee (the person who gets glomped).
(2) The reason Yami had his hand up Kikai's skirt is because he is a bad, bad Egyptian spirit.
(3) Tyy is a close friend of both of the co-authors and the only person beside Kyuurami Ryuu who has bothered to read even a portion of this story.
(4) You are correct. We co-author. I appreciate the well-written comment but really Rhap-chan and Tat-chan have different styles more than being better or worse writers. Also, Rhap-chan is a spelling/grammar freak.
(5) We like ice cream.
Thanks for your reviews, they were very encouraging! I hope you come back to read this chapter and all the ones after.*~|
CHAPTER TWELVE: BAKURA HATES DOGS… (by Rhapsody)
It was late afternoon and Joun was starting to wonder what had been in Yami's ice cream. He had a weird feeling in his stomach… He groaned and thought, What's wrong with me? And for some reason his mind kept slipping to Isis…
It's about time Bakura comes back into this story again, so we meet up with him as he is walking down the sidewalk, looking for Yami and Kikai so he can scold them. But the sight of white fur interrupts his Yami-punishment thoughts… It was that dog!
He hated that dog… He frowned and wished he hadn't given in to Kikai. Only weak people gave in to their cousins! Angrily he walked over to kick the dog, but his foot missed and the dog growled and latched onto his leg.
How dare you be so impudent, human slave?! I am your master NOW! the dog insisted in Bakura's head.
"Get off of me!" he growled back and shook his leg, trying to dislodge the dog's sharp teeth.
To me, my bodyguards! the dog said. This man is trying to kill me!
Bodyguards? Bakura thought, but soon an explanation became evident as a pack of Dobermans poured out from a nearby alley, all with their hackles raised and teeth bared.
Shit! Bakura thought and began to panic. This dog is serious about taking over the world… And those dogs look meaner than Ammitt*!!!
((Ammitt is the Egyptian devourer of hearts, and if I recall my World History correctly, partially crocodile and entirely mean.))
He reached down and pulled the little dog off his leg, and then ran for his life.
Vaguely out of one ear Kikai heard a lot of dogs barking. When Yami took his tongue out of her mouth she said, "Do you hear that?"
He looked up and listened for a minute. "A lot of dogs…"
They looked toward the front window of the ice cream parlor and saw someone with silvery hair fly by at top speed, and a moment later a pack of canines in hot pursuit.
"He kinda looked like Bakura," Kikai said thoughtfully.
Yami shrugged. "Doubt it."
They leaned close again, but this time Ryou interposed a sign between them. They bumped their noses on it and opened their eyes, surprised. The sign read:
For the courtesy
of our customers
please refrain from affection in any form.
This includes kissing, hugging, etc.
We do not wish to offend single people.
"What's this all about?" Yami frowned at Ryou.
"Didn't you read it?" Ryou cocked his head to one side in puzzlement.
"Yes, we read it," Kikai snarled in annoyance. "What's the deal?"
"It's not my rule," Ryou shrugged, "but it is my duty to ask you to leave."
"Ryou!!!"
"I'm sorry, manager insists…"
He pointed back to the counter where a large, wrestler-like man was glaring in their direction. Ryou quailed a little under his gaze, and it wasn't even directed at him.
Grumbling, the yamis left the shop.
Breathing hard, Bakura finally stopped running and climbed a tree, to be safe. Dogs couldn't climb, after all. He hadn't heard barking for a while now, but it was better to be cautious than dog food.
Damn that dog! Bakura thought acidly. When I get home he's going to get it…
As long as his bodyguards aren't around, a small voice from the back of his head corrected. Bakura knew that was true and it irritated him even more.
He sat up in the tree for a few minutes and the pack didn't appear, so he climbed down and tried to determine where he was. There were a lot of cherry blossom trees around. Must be a park, he guessed.
He began to walk through it, keeping a sharp eye out for any canines, but not watching his feet. It wasn't long before he tripped over something—actually, two someones.
For a moment he thought the pair was Yami and Kikai, but when they moved to see who had fallen over them the faces of their Lights became visible. Bakura smiled an evil smile. He could take out his anger on the timid pair.
He got to his feet and grabbed them by the napes of their necks.
"What do you think you were doing?" he hissed in Yugi's ear. "Learn something from Yami, eh?"
"Oww!" Kikai protested. "Let me down Bakura!"
"And you…" he said, turning to her, "I thought you knew better! You're the smart one!"
But then came a sound that chilled him to the bone—barking. Apprehensively he looked around and saw the pack of Dobermans. The lead one saw him too and gave up a howl.
"Oh, dammit!"
Bakura dropped the Lights without ceremony and started running again.
