Chapter Five
Bakura was sleeping on the couch unaware of the phone ringing next to him, his mind deep in a dream. Ryou walked into the living room and shook his head at the sight, Bakura was sprawled on the black couch, wearing a dark pair of jeans and black shirt with the saying "I'm not evil my twin is" written on it, the dark colours surrounding him making his white hair and pale skin stand out. 'Bakura if you weren't my Yami and I wasn't so in love with you, I'd throw you out on your lazy butt,' Ryou thought picking up the ringing phone.
"Hello," he said politely.
"Good afternoon," said a strangely familiar voice. "May I please speak to Bakura Kageshi (1)?"
"Oh I'm sorry he's...err..... busy at the moment, can I take a message?" Ryou replied not knowing what to say, and thinking that it wasn't entirely a lie since his yami was, in a way, busy catching up on his sleep.
"Oh, all right then," said the voice on the other side o the line, the tone amused. "Please tell him that this is Dragon's Games (2) calling to inquire if he is still interested in a job here. He handed in his resume to us a few weeks ago and I have just now gotten to his." At the mention of a job Ryou's eyes grew in surprise, he had not known that his yami had actually searched for a job in earnest.
"Oh, I'm sure he is still interested, but if I can have your number I'll be sure to tell him," Ryou said his voice conveying his surprise. "He can return your call, if it's okay with you, of course."
"Yes, of course it's alright with me, to tell you the truth his was one of the best ones we received," said the other. "I'll just call back later, what time do you think Mr. Kageshi will be available?"
"In about an hour, I'd say," Ryou replied distractedly as his yami rolled onto his stomach his shirt lifting to show the pale, smooth skin of his lower back.
"Then I'll just call back then," said the other voice, "Good bye." With that the other line was cut and Ryou was left holding a phone to his ear, finally hearing the dial tone he hung up and sat down on the floor of the couch, still looking at his yami.
"So who was it?" Bakura asked turning his head and smiling at his lighter half.
"How long have you been awake?" Ryou asked with a small frown.
"Since you came in and answered the phone," Bakura answered his smile growing as Ryou's frown turned into a glare.
"Why didn't you say so then? The call was for you," Ryou said in exasperation as his dark half shrugged, still lying on his stomach, his head pillowed on his arms.
"I didn't feel like it," was Bakura's simple reply, before he once again closed his eyes.
"Well that was Dragon's Games," said Ryou, noting that at the mention of the name his yami's eyes snapped open, a light of anticipation gleaming in their brown depth. "They wanted to know if you're still interested on a job there, and said they'd call back in an hour or so." As he finished Bakura jumped up and pulled Ryou up as well, hugging his light as he laughed.
"Yes! I knew it!" Bakura exclaimed, spinning his smaller light around, and kissing the surprised young man on the lips before picking up the phone and dialing. Ryou, still surprised, stares at his dark and gently touched his lips, Bakura had not come near him in the weeks since he had threatened him about getting a job. Bakura, on the other hand, had completely forgotten about the entire episode and was talking on the phone excitedly.
"Hey Yami, guess what?" He said jumping in place, "I got a call from that game shop we went to a few weeks ago, and they said they want to know if I'm still interested on a job, but since I was sleeping they said they'd call back!" His explanation was jumbled in his excitement, but Yami had understood most of what the tomb robber had said and laughed.
"Yeah, they called here as well, I was hired too," Yami smiled widely as Bakura ramble on his tone almost undecipherable. "I told Yugi, but he said it was unusual that they didn't want an interview with me. How about you?"
"Well they said they'd call back so, I dunno," replied Bakura his tone calmer, he did not like the idea of having an interview with some stranger he didn't know. "Wait gimme a second," said Bakura before turning to Ryou. "Hey Ryou, did they say anything about and interview?" Ryou looked up at his yami in a daze before he shook his head no. "Okay thanks," he said to Ryou before turning back to the phone.
"Well, Ryou said they didn't say anything about an interview, so hopefully I wont have to endure the torture of actually talking to some moron, who'll probably decide not to hire me just to spite me." Yami laughed at the comment, knowing how much Bakura hated socializing, and that if annoyed enough he wouldn't hesitate on sending some poor soul into the Shadow Realm.
"Nah," Yami said his tone bored, "More than likely they won't hire you because they know you're psychotic, and wouldn't hesitate to kill a customer who annoyed you." Hearing the other's reaction Yami grinned as his friend began to rant about his self-control.
"Pharaoh I have no idea why I even bothered to call you, you dumbass, I should have known you'd find a way to ruin a perfectly good mood," Bakura fumed hearing the other laugh at his predicament. "I should send your ass to the Shadow Realm, let's see you survive there for more than a minute you cocky bastard."
"Oh you could try, Bakura, but the chances are you'd loose against me." Yami's tone held complete confidence, which further grated on Bakura's nerves, much to the amusement of Yami.
"Shut up you stupid Pharaoh!" Bakura yelled into the mouthpiece before slamming the phone down, and turning to Ryou, his face calm. "So what do we have to eat?" Ryou looked at his yami his eyes wide at the quick changes of mood the other went through, even after years of being with the other he was still not used to his strange ways.
"Well, first can you tell me why you didn't' tell me you actually tried to get a job?" Ryou asked his voice cooler than usual easily catching Bakura's attention.
"Ryou, you were the one to tell me to get a job," Bakura said his tone confused. "Why would I need to tell you I was getting one?" Bakura looked at his light, who, at the moment, was looking at him with a small frown on his usually tranquil face. 'What did I do now?' Bakura wondered to himself. 'He told me to get a job and now that I do he's pissed of. Must be something in school he's always complaining, I just don't know why he bothers to go there f all he's going to do is complain.'
Ryou sighed seeing his yami's eyes glaze over, and knowing that the he no longer had the other's attention. 'Why do I even bother?' The white haired light walked out of the room with a shake of his head, leaving his darker half alone. Bakura finally came out of his reverie to find himself alone in the room with no sign of his light. Looking at the clock he saw that more time than he thought had passed and the store should be calling in a few minutes. As if on cue the phone rang, and Bakura picked it up after composing himself, somewhat.
"Hello, how may I help you?" Bakura made a face at the tone of his voice, noticing how much like his light he had sounded.
"Hello, is this Bakura Kageshi, by any chance?" The voice was faintly familiar to the white haired tomb robber, but he ignored it and answered yes. "Wonderful, Mr. Kageshi, I had called earlier and I was told you were otherwise engaged."
"Yes, I...uh was," Bakura said hesitantly, not knowing what to say entirely.
"Well, I am calling to inquire whether you are still interested in working for Dragon's Games, or not," asked the voice.
"Of course I am," Bakura replied, grinning.
"I am glad to hear that, we are officially opening in a week, and I will be holding a meeting for all the workers who are to be working together. Are you free this Friday? That is when the meeting will be held, it will give you and the others an opportunity to get to know who you will be working with."
"Yes, I can attend this Friday. Umm.... will I have an interview before Friday or will it be on Friday?" Bakura asked suspiciously, not trusting the other to not spring an interview on him when he least expected. The man on the other side merely laughed out loud at the question.
"I know that there usually is an interview for jobs, but to tell you the truth, Mr. Kageshi, yours was one of the few resume that I actually approved of, so there will not be an interview. I will see you on Friday then, just come to the store at 4 p.m. that door will be open. Good bye." Before he could reply Bakura was left holding a phone with the dial tone beeping in his ear, a look of surprised mixed with elation on his face.
"I got the job!!" Bakura ran up the stairs into Ryou's room, and pulled him out of his bed and began to dance his light around. "And he said there won't be an interview! Ryou, can you believe it?" Bakura's face was lit up with excitement.
"Yes, Bakura I can. I answered them the first time remember?" Bakura ignored his light's comment and walked out of the room his grin still pasted on his face. Heading to the living room he picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hey Yami they just called again and they said I have the job!" Bakura yelled into the phone exuberantly.
"Err...I'm sorry Bakura but this isn't Yami," Yugi said hesitantly, not knowing how to take the other's mood. He was aware that his darker half and the former robber had, in a sense, become friends but he himself was not on steady ground with the white haired spirit.
"Oh, it's you, Pharaoh's midget light," Bakura said distractedly, ignoring Yugi's growl. "Is he there? And if he is tell him to get off his fat ass and get on the phone, I don't have all day." Yugi muttered some choice words that had Bakura grinning, as the miniature light called his other half.
"Bakura what the hell did you say to Yugi?" Yami looked over at his light, who was muttering curses under his breath and kicking the air in front of him as though attacking an invisible enemy. "He's pissed."
"I don't know Yami," Bakura lied, his tone innocent. "I think it might be school, my light's acting weird too. I'm tellin' you we shouldn't let them go to that place, it rot's their brain."
"Bakura, how many times do I have to tell you," Yami sighed in exasperation. "Our lights have to go there to get education so they can grow up to be successful adults."
"Successful my ass, if they're going to come home acting like rabid animals I say let them be unsuccessful in life, at least we wont have to live with the annoyance of their frustration on school work." Bakura replied in a superior tone. "You have no idea what it's like living with Ryou when he's in one of his moods. He's like a woman all hormonal and shit."
"I'm sure," said Yami sardonically. "So, what do you want? This is the second time you called me today."
"Oh..oh yeah, I just wanted to tell you that I got the job! We'll be working together Yami!" Bakura's face split into a grin a manic light appearing in his eyes once again. "So you want to celebrate?"
"We'll be working together? Why does that sound suddenly ominous?" Yami asked his tone joking.
"Well, Yami dear friend, it's not us who should be worried," Bakura started his tone sickeningly sweet. "It's our boss, who should be quaking in his shoes! The two of us working together! Think of the chaos we could make." Bakura broke out in an insane laughter causing Yami feel dread at the idea.
"Okay, calm down Bakura, we haven't even started and you're already thinking of ways to get us fired. So are we going to celebrate?" Yami inquired hoping to distract the other spirit with a new subject.
"Oh yeah, sure why not. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know you're the one that called."
"Geez Yami do I have to think everything? Ra knows what you'd do without me." Bakura sighed in exasperation. "We could see a movie, or go to a club or something."
"Actually there's a new movie out that I've been meaning to see." Yami said interested.
"Ok, great, I'll be over in a few minutes and we can go see it! You better be ready when I get there Yami, I swear you're worse than a woman, it takes you what? Three hours to choose what shirt to wear." Bakura said his tone teasing. "I'll see you soon, and be sure to bring money, you're paying. Bye." He hung up before Yami could voice his protest and yelled up the stairs.
"Ryou, I'm going out. See ya!" Bakura walked down the hall retrieved his jacket and walked out the door whistling.
Joey put down the phone a wide smile lighting his face. "I got the job! Yes!" He ran out of his bedroom into the living room and began to dance around in joy, forgetting the presence of his father who was currently watching his only son dance around in the living room like a lunatic, wearing only his boxers.
"Umm.....son," Mr. Wheeler began getting his son's attention. "I don't quite know what this is all about, but I have always trusted you to know what to do. However I have to ask, are you on drugs?" Joey looked at his father with a confused look on his face, cocking his head slightly unknowingly resembling the puppy Kaiba always called him.
"Uh, dad, what're you talkin' 'bout?" He asked confusion written all over his face, his honey coloured eyes wide. Mr. Wheeler took this as a reason for panic.
"You are on drugs aren't you?!" The elder Wheeler yelled, further confusing his son. "I knew it. You've been spending too much time alone in your room we hardy talk anymore. You are on drugs aren't you? Who got you hooked on it? Was it that crazy Moto kid with the spiked hair??"
"Ya mean Yug?" Joey asked still not fully understanding what his father had begun to rant about.
"No! Not that one he looks too young, the other one, his older brother. He looks like a trouble maker, and I've seen him hanging out with that pale white haired kid, not the quiet one, the other one, the one that I've seen running around yelling at squirrels. I bet it was those two wasn't it?" Mr. Wheeler looked at his son and still seeing nothing but confusion.
"You mean Yami and Bakura? They're harmless, well Yami is anyway, I'm not sure about Bakura though, I'm still not sure he wont kill any of us given a chance, he's a bit psychotic." At this information Mr. Wheeler's eyes began to water as he looked at his only son; getting a glazed look in his eyes he began to think about the future and got visions of his son dying his hair purple, joining a gang, and running a drug ring that spread world wide, then finally his son in prison a uniform getting sentenced to life in jail.
"I'm sorry son," he suddenly cried hugging his still befuddled son tightly. "This is your helpless cry for attention! I haven't been spending enough time with you, but I promise I will. We'll go to Disney Land together, I'll get more vacation time in the office. Just promise me you'll quit the drugs. We can get you counseling, anything you need at all. But I don't want you to end up running a gang and getting sentenced to life!" At this Joey pushed back from his father, who had huge tears pouring from his brown eyes.
"Dad, chill," Joey began receiving a wail as an answer. "Dad! Calm down, man I ain't on any drugs. And what the heck d'ya mean runnin' a gang? I don't want to go to Disney Land, and you don't gotta get more vacation time." By the time Joey had explained why he had been dancing his dad had calmed down enough and was almost composed.
"So you got a job?" Joey nodded glad his dad had stopped whailing. "That's good son, it'll teach you responsibility, and you'll have your own spending money. So where are you going to be working?"
"That new game shop that's just opened, Dragon's Games."

1. I got the last name from my other fic, it means shadow death. I decided to change Bakura's last name because it would be weird if his name was Bakura Bakura, and naming him Yami Bakura would have been confusing with Yami also being called Yami, so ...errr...yeah his name will be Bakura Kageshi.
2. The games store's name is Dragon's Games. I hadn't thought of a name and it just came to me, but if anyone has a suggestion just review and tell me, and I'll consider it.
tiger: well i think this chapter could use more work but school's gonna start tomorrow and i wanted this out before hand.
Yami: why do i have to pay for the movie? why am i always stuck with the bill?? Bakura: because i think of the ways to spend your money and you midlessly follow my orders? Yami: shut up!
Joey: my dad's weird......he thought i was on drugs, and that i ran a gang??
tiger: yeah about that, well i couldn't think of anything else to write
Bakura: besides now we know where you get your personality
Joey: shut up you pale maniac!
Bakura: oh please we know you want me
Joey: i do not! (--'_'--)

!!please review!!
Warning: Slash!!! Which, as you all hopefully know, means m/m pairings, as well as some m/f pairings thrown in. This is also, I think, AU and characters will be OOC.

"Ya mean Yug?" Joey asked still not fully understanding what his father had begun to rant about.
"No! Not that one he looks too young, the other one, his older brother. He looks like a trouble maker, and I've seen him hanging out with that pale white haired kid, not the quiet one, the other one, the one that I've seen running around yelling at squirrels. I bet it was those two wasn't it?" Mr. Wheeler looked at his son and still seeing nothing but confusion.
"You mean Yami and Bakura? They're harmless, well Yami is anyway, I'm not sure about Bakura though, I'm still not sure he wont kill any of us given a chance, he's a bit psychotic." At this information Mr. Wheeler's eyes began to water as he looked at his only son; getting a glazed look in his eyes he began to think about the future and got visions of his son dying his hair purple, joining a gang, and running a drug ring that spread world wide, then finally his son in prison a uniform getting sentenced to life in jail.
"I'm sorry son," he suddenly cried hugging his still befuddled son tightly. "This is your helpless cry for attention! I haven't been spending enough time with you, but I promise I will. We'll go to Disney Land together, I'll get more vacation time in the office. Just promise me you'll quit the drugs. We can get you counseling, anything you need at all. But I don't want you to end up running a gang and getting sentenced to life!" At this Joey pushed back from his father, who had huge tears pouring from his brown eyes.
"Dad, chill," Joey began receiving a wail as an answer. "Dad! Calm down, man I ain't on any drugs. And what the heck d'ya mean runnin' a gang? I don't want to go to Disney Land, and you don't gotta get more vacation time." By the time Joey had explained why he had been dancing his dad had calmed down enough and was almost composed.
"So you got a job?" Joey nodded glad his dad had stopped whailing. "That's good son, it'll teach you responsibility, and you'll have your own spending money. So where are you going to be working?"
"That new game shop that's just opened, Dragon's Games."

1. I got the last name from my other fic, it means shadow death. I decided to change Bakura's last name because it would be weird if his name was Bakura Bakura, and naming him Yami Bakura would have been confusing with Yami also being called Yami, so ...errr...yeah his name will be Bakura Kageshi.
2. The games store's name is Dragon's Games. I hadn't thought of a name and it just came to me, but if anyone has a suggestion just review and tell me, and I'll consider it.
tiger: well i think this chapter could use more work but school's gonna start tomorrow and i wanted this out before hand.
Yami: why do i have to pay for the movie? why am i always stuck with the bill?? Bakura: because i think of the ways to spend your money and you midlessly follow my orders? Yami: shut up!
