Author- HELLO ALL YOU HAPPY PEOPLES ONCE AGAIN! It has been another week,
and therefore, another adventure of The Destined Three is yet to be
unfolded.
Cami- ;_;
Author- *to Yugi* What's with him?
Yugi- -.- He's upset because he just got the news that this story isn't even halfway done.
Author- *blink* *blink* oooh...
Cami- *sob* I can't stand looking like a girl any longer! I'm putting this under: cruel and unusual punishment!
Author- You do that. *evil grin* I've decided that there's going to be three parts of the story. I can't tell you the titles of those parts, cause it might give away surprises in the story! ^__^ But I'll tell you when part one is done with!
Caitlin- *sinks into chair* Great, and tell me, about how long till part one is done with?
Author- *thinks* Uhhh, I dunno the exact number yet. ^^; But it's going to be...about three or four chapters? Maybe more...?
All- *anime fall*
Bakura- THIS STORY IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER TO FINISH!
Author- *glare* Well SO-RRY! Maybe I should split this into two fics...people will be intimidated when they see fifty something chapters...
All- O.O FIFTY!!?
Author- What you people aren't getting, is that is really TWO stories in one. Let's see, this is the 16th chapter, so that means each story is only eight chapters long. That's not much. And near the end, the story is going to split into three, then people will get REALLY intimidated.
Cami- *sob*
Author- *sigh* I'm going to ponder this while you go ahead and read this next adventure of Yami's...and I thank the reviewers! ^__^
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Happy Reviewer- Thanks again for your review! *sniffle* It's great to have fans. I hope I didn't take too long to review...and if I did, I didn't mean to. I'm so bad a schedules!
DDOR- Fanx 4 reviewin! Good thing you can see the pictures in your head and such, because, I was afraid I was using too much detail. ^^; I'm having more trouble with action then I thought I would, but not a biggie.
Livi- I read your fic on Bakura and the fast-food restaurant, and it's great! Seems just like something Bakura would do, and like I said in the review... *gets evil 'update' eyes* you must update it. ^_^ YAY! Someone else thinks riding on a boat in a storm would be fun! (and only slightly terrifying) People think I'm crazing for finding amusement in those sorts of situations.
AND THANKIES TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN READING, although some haven't reviewed. *glare at people* ...you evil non-reviewing peoples...I don't mind IF YOU HATE IT! I DON'T MIND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A USER OR ANYTHING! JUST REVIEW PLZ!!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And to all, don't get too mad at the guys for being he-man-woman-haters, it's just their role in life is not to be used to kick-butt girls. ^__^ Not to say that Caitlin is a kick-butt girl, but she tries.
~*^~*^~^*~^*~^*~
"Wow...well...this sure puts a whole new perspective on things." Tea said after hearing Yami explain everything to her. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING!
We were currently sitting at a lunch table, in the lunch room, at lunch time, eating lunch. I had been able to survive today's food, and barely today's school. We had come into our classroom very late, and thankfully our teacher let us get in without terdy slips or whatever they are. Yami was unbearably amazed and confused when he saw Tristen sitting across the room from him, looking nothing less then alive and unharmed...though a little...sleepy.
We went through the classes the best we could, and to my great astonishment, no one laughed at me when I came in wearing a skirt. To be frank, I think they were confused as to who I was, or what gender I was. But as long as I wasn't laughed at, I was happy. Which leads us back to lunch. When the lunch bell rang, Yami got the seat in the very back and told Tea, Joey, and Tristen the entire story. I dunno why he did that. They didn't need to know, and it's not like he asked Bakura or me how we felt about having our story told to them like this. Guess he felt guilty or something. That still doesn't excuse his rudeness, so I'm making a mental note to lecture him on it later. Anyway, he told them the entire story and that's exactly where we are now. It had taken us about a half an hour, maybe more, and boy I never realized how fast the Pharaoh can talk!
"You could have told us sooner." Tea told us, "We would have been happy to help you out with what you needed."
"You never asked." Yami bluntly, "I didn't think it was on your mind."
"Of course it was on my mind." Tea said with slight annoyance, "Two of my best friends leave to go to the shadow realm, come to school the next day looking and acting fine...I had no idea what to think!"
"I'm sorry, Tea, I had no idea you felt that way." Yami said.
"Yea, well, I did, but apology excepted." She said with a nod.
"Good." Said Yami, "I think that we could use all the help from our friends that we can get these days."
"So what's next?" Joey asked, "Do we just...wait or something?"
"That's all we can do." Yami answered, "I am very worried about the imposters that tried to play you and Tea, but if we're careful, I'm hoping they will be no threat to us."
"I still don't get why they told you they had me hostage or whatever." Tristen said, "I was in my bed when I woke up this morning, no scares or nothing."
"You're sure nothing unusual happened?" Yami pressed on, "Nothing out of the ordinary?"
"Well...I had this really weird dream, if that counts."
"What about?"
"I...I can't remember." Tristen said, "Dammit! It might have helped out too!"
"It's alright, Tristen." Yami said, having an obvious disappointment come over his face.
"Yea. We were wrong to put such pressure on you." I added, seriously trying to be nice, "We shouldn't expect you to remember much that happened any later then ten minutes ago."
Yami shoved me hard in the ribs, but I saw Bakura smirk briefly at the comment. I didn't mean to be rude, I'm just not good at coming up with comforting words...that and comebacks. First time I actually get to speak in the entire conversation and I get ribbed for it, I SWEAR I was trying to be nice. To show my disgruntlement, I glare at Yami. He ignores me, as usual. Why does he always ignore me? I do not like to be ignored. I would glare, but that would put me in the middle of a never ending circle and I don't do well in circles. I don't do well in round things at all, like when Caitlin took me on that roller coaster....I didn't like that roller coaster...
Suddenly, Tristen hushes us and points at the table from right to the side of us. There's only one guy at the table, with a laptop perched on his...lap. He doesn't seem to mind being alone, and the light from the window above him shines down on the guy like some sort of spotlight. I guess Joey had shushed us because they guy looked up at us and had this whole, suspicious look on his face. He looked sort of familiar...but I couldn't place where I knew him from...
The guy gives us a last look before turning back to his computer, and everyone leans into the table.
"We'll have to talk about this later." Yami tells them, "Pretend that nothing is going on for the time being, and we can discuss what to do when the need comes up."
Everyone nodded, and most of us spent the rest of lunchtime not saying anything. Only Joey and Tristen spoke, and it wasn't ever anything more then a, 'Are you going to eat that?' When the time was right, everyone split up and went to their assigned classes for the day. Luckily, I had Tea and Bakura coming to math with me.
"Hey, Bakura?" Tea has said on our way.
He grunted, a sign that he was listening.
"You aren't going to...do anything...bad, while you're in Ryou's body, are you?"
He had a strange expression come over his face as he looked at her and said, "The all depends, what's your definition of, 'bad'?"
"Well, you know. Like trap us into cards or turn teachers into dolls or send people to the shadow realm."
I could tell Bakura was contemplating weather or not to say yes so she would leave him alone, or just tell her the truth about the whole thing. To my amazement, Bakura sighed.
"I don't have any power left in my ring, so even if I tried, I couldn't do those things." He said, then smirking and looking at her, "But that doesn't leave me completely helpless if you decide to get on my nerves. I know other ways to get back at people."
Tea smiled a tiny bit, glad Bakura was powerless, but still knowing that he could cause some major damage if he wanted to. I grinned at the both of them as we went into the classroom and sat down by the window. I was about to ask Tea how you did math again, when the teacher started to talk, and I was stuck.
...crackers...foiled again.
__~__~__ LATER THAT DAY __~__~__
I hate school. Have I made that perfectly clear? Good. Cause I do.
Homework stinks. Teachers stink. Stupid bully people stink. The food stinks. It's just a waste of my life.
And so know, I was coming back from school with a fifty two-zillion ton backpack filled with homework and other assorted torture devices. I dropped them onto the bed, and was about to think of some way to get out of doing it when I heard the door bell ring.
YES! LITERALY SAVED BY THE BELL!
I immediately perked up and bounded out the door to find out who our visitor was. I didn't really care who it was, as long as it kept me from doing my homework. I didn't even know how to start it, I mean, I still can't read more then a few words. Anywho, opening the door....stopping in mid open and staring at the weirdo standing there.
I cross my arms across my chest and lean again the door frame, "Who are you?"
The purple eyed blond haired boy just blinks at me curiously, and says, "I could ask you the same."
"Yeah you could, but I asked first." I inform him.
Another blink, and he stares at me strangely. "My name is Malik. I'm looking for someone that goes by the name, 'Bakura'. But he didn't mention anything about...you, maybe I got the house number wrong."
"No, Malik, I'm here."
We both look and, looky there! It's Bakura! He gestures to Malik to follow him, and Malik only nods to me and does just that. Although, I don't feel that comfortable about letting this, Malik guy into the house. ESPECIALLY if he's a friend of Bakura's. But unfortunately, I don't have much of a choice in the matter. But just to be safe, I follow them.
Malik looks behind him for a second and notices me following them. "You didn't tell me there were other people staying in the house, Bakura."
Bakura sorta grunts, and then he too eyes me, "I didn't think that information was of any importance. This is his hikari's home."
"So he is a Yami, then?"
"He was, like myself and the Pharaoh. But we ran into a few complications, and we are now reduced to being mortal."
Malik stopped in half shock, "Mortal?"
"Do not tell me you didn't sense that my aibou's soul is gone."
"I noticed something different, but I had no idea! How could this happen?"
"It is a story that I have no intention of explaining right now. It is of no use to you, and it's best we just get along with our meeting before the Pharaoh comes and finds you here."
"You mean, Yugi's Yami has also become mortal, and resides in this home?"
"That's correct Malik." Bakura answered, opening the door to his room and letting Malik come inside.
Malik smirked slightly when he entered the room and turned to Bakura, "Not my choice of colors, but it goes perfectly with your hair."
Bakura glared and Malik, and pulled out a drawer from the dresser. He rummaged through it for a while, before gingerly pulling out the marble mirror we had found before in the car crash. Malik looked at it curiously for a while, and when Bakura handed it to him, turned it over and ran his finger across the back.
"So this is it..." He mumbled, mostly to himself, "I have to admit, it wasn't what I was expecting when you told me over the phone."
Bakura nodded, "It doesn't look or seem like much, but I sense a sort of foreign magic in it."
Malik grunted in agreement, and his pocket began to glow. That was when I noticed the long rod poking just a little out of his jean pocket.
"Hey!" I said, "You've got a millenium item too!"
Malik looked up, an expression on his face like he just remembered I was standing there. He instinctively reached for his treasure and pulled it out. I grinned, and showed him my own amulet.
"See?" I told him, "I've got one too."
Malik cocked his head to one side, and looked closely at the beetle, "There are only supposed to be seven millenium items, how can it be that you have one?"
I shrugged innocently, "Mine is...special."
He didn't believe me; "Isis never spoke of anything like what you have, I don't understand it!"
"It's not REALLY a millenium item." I told him, "Sort of...an item wannabe. It's not really official."
"But it was created in Egypt?" He asked, "And your soul was sealed inside?"
"Well...yea. But that second one was an accident. I was a scribe and I wasn't really supposed to be in here, it just...happened."
Again, he gave me a look that showed he didn't fully believe what I was saying, and Bakura wrapped the mirror up with a spare sock. He handed it to Malik.
"Do you think you could find something out about the item?" He asked.
"I'll do my best." Malik said, "Maybe my sister can help me. She knows more then I do."
"Good." Said Bakura, "But bring it back as soon as possible."
"I will." Malik said, with an arch in his brow, "And I will be waiting for an explanation in return.
"We'll worry about that later." Bakura told him, glancing out the window, "For now, I think you had better leave before the storm gets worse."
"I'll be fine." Malik assured him, "I've driven in worse conditions then this."
He was about to leave, like Bakura hinted, when who else then Yami poked his head into the room! Oh man, the look on his face! I wish I could freeze that moment and play it over and over in my head forever. If I wasn't trying to be so serious in front of these serious people, I would have doubled over in laughter! The Pharaoh froze, and only looked at Malik. Then, the lavender eyed boy made the first move.
"Yami no Yugi." He said, with a nod of his head.
Yami's eyes narrowed as he finally stepped into the room. "Malik."
A long moment of silence.
"I didn't think I'd be seeing you any time soon." Malik said.
"I was hoping as much."
Another moment of silence.
"Well, I guess I'll be going now." Malik said, a last uncomfortable glance resting on Yami before he left.
Everyone just stood there as we heard the door slam shut, and the sound of a motorcycle engine fading away. Then, Yami glared hard at Bakura.
"What was he doing here?" Yami hissed.
Bakura sneered, "He's an old friend that I thought could help me with the mirror puzzle."
"That may be so, but you could AT LEAST have warned me so I could NOT run into him!"
Bakura kept his face straight and sat down in his computer chair, crossing his legs and arms and leaning back.
"I'll remember that next time." He said, coolly.
"There won't be a next time!" Yami snapped, "He isn't coming back and that's final!"
Bakura looked up, "That isn't your decision, Pharaoh. For you see, this isn't Egypt. Therefore, you have no rule or power over me anymore."
Yami was struck by the comment, and only stood there with his fists clenched. Then, he gave up staring and stormed back into his own room. Bakura had his eyes closed at the end of the comment, but smirked as we heard the second door of the night slam.
I had to smile too, just knowing that Yami got his fair and needed comeback that knocked him far enough down the totem pole to be livable. I decided to leave Bakura alone, and retreated back into my room.
I was about to relax and take a nap in the nifty, cushy, fluffy, comfortable bean-bag chair in Caitlin's old room, when I saw something on the bed that made my good mood fly out the window. I groaned and hit my head against the wall in frustration.
I hate homework.

"Do you think you could find something out about the item?" He asked.
"I'll do my best." Malik said, "Maybe my sister can help me. She knows more then I do."
"Good." Said Bakura, "But bring it back as soon as possible."
"I will." Malik said, with an arch in his brow, "And I will be waiting for an explanation in return.
"We'll worry about that later." Bakura told him, glancing out the window, "For now, I think you had better leave before the storm gets worse."
"I'll be fine." Malik assured him, "I've driven in worse conditions then this."
He was about to leave, like Bakura hinted, when who else then Yami poked his head into the room! Oh man, the look on his face! I wish I could freeze that moment and play it over and over in my head forever. If I wasn't trying to be so serious in front of these serious people, I would have doubled over in laughter! The Pharaoh froze, and only looked at Malik. Then, the lavender eyed boy made the first move.
"Yami no Yugi." He said, with a nod of his head.
Yami's eyes narrowed as he finally stepped into the room. "Malik."
A long moment of silence.
"I didn't think I'd be seeing you any time soon." Malik said.
"I was hoping as much."
Another moment of silence.
"Well, I guess I'll be going now." Malik said, a last uncomfortable glance resting on Yami before he left.
Everyone just stood there as we heard the door slam shut, and the sound of a motorcycle engine fading away. Then, Yami glared hard at Bakura.
"What was he doing here?" Yami hissed.
Bakura sneered, "He's an old friend that I thought could help me with the mirror puzzle."
"That may be so, but you could AT LEAST have warned me so I could NOT run into him!"
Bakura kept his face straight and sat down in his computer chair, crossing his legs and arms and leaning back.
"I'll remember that next time." He said, coolly.
"There won't be a next time!" Yami snapped, "He isn't coming back and that's final!"
Bakura looked up, "That isn't your decision, Pharaoh. For you see, this isn't Egypt. Therefore, you have no rule or power over me anymore."
Yami was struck by the comment, and only stood there with his fists clenched. Then, he gave up staring and stormed back into his own room. Bakura had his eyes closed at the end of the comment, but smirked as we heard the second door of the night slam.
I had to smile too, just knowing that Yami got his fair and needed comeback that knocked him far enough down the totem pole to be livable. I decided to leave Bakura alone, and retreated back into my room.
I was about to relax and take a nap in the nifty, cushy, fluffy, comfortable bean-bag chair in Caitlin's old room, when I saw something on the bed that made my good mood fly out the window. I groaned and hit my head against the wall in frustration.
I hate homework.
