Well, here's the fourth chapter of this story. I've found the copy of the College Years, but I still want to include this story.
Ch.4: Dark Powers and Bubble Gum
Kaiba, Tèa, Yugi, Tristan, and Mokuba were all worried about the others, each for different reasons. Kaiba was worried about Joey and Bakura because what if they turned on them? There would be no easy way out of this game. Of course, he didn't expect that. He had programmed this one himself, and his Big Five were so totally fired.
"Seto, I'm hungry," Mokuba told him. Kaiba dug into his pocket and found two power bars and a piece of bubble gum.
Bubble gum? How'd that get there? he wondered to himself.
"I got two power bars. Share them."
He threw the power bars out and the others split them equally amongst themselves while he chewed gum. He could last longer without food than these nuts and his little bro. He crossed his arms and legs, sitting and chewing.
"Don't you want any, Kaiba?" Yugi asked.
"I'm not hungry. Eat it, or I'll give it to Mokuba."
His stomach, however, deceived his words and growled. Yugi broke his half of a bar in to another two halves and handed one to Kaiba, who took it without a word.
NEXT MORNING
"...I feel ill..."
Bakura woke up to a bad stomachache.
"How much did I eat yesterday..."
"Shut-up."
Joey was awake as well, also with a bad stomachache.
"I will never eat another bite of sugar," Bakura said ruefully. "Let's get out of here, Joey."
"Yeah, but didn't ya notice? We're in a cage."
"What?!"
Bakura looked at the bars, then touched them cautiously.
"Ow!!" he yelped in pain as a burn appeared on his palm. It smarted terribly, and what was worse was that paper talismans were what had them sealed in.
"I-I remember this story. It's Hansel and Gretel, Joey."
"That means that one of us will be witch food if we don't use our brains."
Just then, the same ugly lady, the witch, walked in, her kind demeanor gone.
"You, Joseph Wheeler. Come out!"
She opened the door and Joey scrambled out.
"Get some water from the lake in the backyard, fool!" she spat. "Your friend is going to become my dinner in three days or so."
"M-me?!"
Bakura was so scared out of his wits that he collapsed in a dead faint.
"Oh, the hell with it!" Tristan said exasperatedly. "Porridge sounds good. Let's go to that one house." Tristan said.
"No, we have to find the gingerbread house," Yugi said, "or Joey and Bakura will be eliminated.
"Oh, man. Jeez.""I really couldn't eat another bite, honest."
Bakura flat out refused to eat another bit of food. He didn't care to make himself throw up.
"I'm not hungry, I swear it!"
"If this food isn't eaten by the time I come back, I'm turning you into a partridge, then I'll shoot you and eat you."
Bakura took a forkful of freshly-cooked fish filet to show to her that he would eat it, even though he really wouldn't. she waked away.
"I really couldn't eat anymore," he said to himself.
"Hey pal, you gonna eat that?" Joey asked. He was very hungry, as the witch hadn't bothered to feed him like he needed it: every hour, on the hour.
"No Joey...don't talk about food around me..."
"I hope yer not gonna throw up," Joey said.
Bakura wasn't exactly thrilled about it either, so he grimaced, then...
"GLP! Ugh..."
He gulped.
"Man, Ryou, you should really let up on the food. You're getting more pudgy than usual."
"Me? Look in the mirror, you've gained weight too!"
The witch came in a few hours later to check on Bakura. His food was gone, so she told him to stick out his finger.
Bakura studied his hand. His fingers were slightly altered from all the food he ate, so he stuck a bone out to be true to the story.
"Not yet," she muttered.
After she left, Joey cracked a joke.
"Hey, I bet if we run in circles for a while, we'll get skinnier."
Bakura laughed at that.
"Y'know, Bakura. I could go for a good duel to help my nerves."
"You got it, Joey."
To pass the time from then on, the two friends decided to duel.
Meanwhile, the witch was growing impatient. It had only been one day, but the story play was unusually fast.
"Aw screw it. I'm eating both of them now."
She set up everything and beckoned to Joey.
"Ah, it can wait, ya ol' hag. We're dueling here!!"
Joey had been doing good for a lot of the game. But just four turns ago, Bakura had activated the Destiny Board and it was at fourth letter status. Joey ended his turn and conceded the match.
"Man, that freaky letter show of yours gets on my nerves sometimes," he grumbled.
"Good game, Joey."
"Good game, Ryou."
"Get up, both of you!!"
Damn hag, Joey thought.
The witch snatched Joey away.
"I've decided to cook both of you now, so get over it," she snapped. She opened the cage to let Bakura out, but when he did step out, he felt an overtaxing pain come over his body.
"AAAAGHH!!"
"Damn! You've touched the barrier! Now you are transformed!"
"What did you do to him, you bitch?"
Joey ran towards his friend, accidentally brushing the cage from the inside and yelling as a burn appeared on his arm.
"SHIT!!" he yelled. "Pardon the language, Ryou..."
"I...don't care at the moment..."
Bakura passed out from the pain. His burn was no longer green as before. It was a nasty shade of purple. Eventually, both of them passed out, and the witch cursed under her breath.
"I didn't actually expect the fools to turn out this way. I can't eat tainted meat, and they're obviously half-demon now. I suppose the only thing to do is get rid of the bodies."
She wrapped towels around their heads and left them deep in the forest, unconscious. She then headed back to wait for another chance at food...
I know this chapter is kinda stupid, but as usual, I've lost my written copy and will need to recall from memory. Btw, I'm grounded again, so I may have trouble updating this story. Sorry! But you can R&R anyway.
