Me: I still can't find Yami. Man he is good at hiding. Hum I got an idea. *looks over reviews* Ok Yugi-Closet-fan I'll take your advice. *Heads to the linen closet and opens the door and finds Yami hiding under some blankets* YAMI I FOUND YOU! NOW GET OUT HERE! Thanks Yugi-Closet-fan for helping me find Yami.
Yami: I don't wanna. You threatened to get rid of me.
Yugi: *comes running up* Can I tell him?
Me: *sighs* Sure Yugi, tell him.
Yugi: Yami it was all an empty threat. She would never get rid of you.
Yami: Is that true?
Me: *Nods*
Yami: *comes out of the closet* T.G.A.G doesn't own YGO but Kariko/Mitsukai is hers.
Yugi: Oh ya all the people who reviewed you guys' rock.
Me: On with chapter 9 which I hope will be longer then the last one.
************************************************************************
Inside the game shop everyone was laughing and having a great time. Yami was telling them about all the silly or stupid stunts that Kariko had pulled back in Egypt. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Sugoroku took a look at the clock which read 9:00pm and wondered who would be at the door at this time of night. It was already decided that Jou and Seto would be spending the night. Yugi got up to answer the door. Yami followed a few meters behind. When Yugi opened the door he was surprised to see Malik and Ryou standing there. Both of them looked pretty beat up. Yugi opened the door all the way.
"Ryou, Malik what happened?" Yugi asked as he moved aside to allow the duo to enter.
"We've gotta tell you something very important." Malik said as Yugi led them back to the kitchen. Yugi had accidentally left the door opened and it had gotten a lot colder out so Yami closed it and followed his aibou back to the warmth of the kitchen. Since Malik didn't have a coat and Ryou was only wearing his spring jacket both were pretty cold so Sugoroku motioned for both boys to sit down and he stood up and put the kettle on to make some hot chocolate for everyone.
"You said you had something important to tell us." Yami reminded them. The kettle started whistling so Yugi went to finish the hot chocolates.
"Yeah we do." Ryou started but just then Kariko walked into the kitchen. She had change into one of Sugoroku's long shirts. Since there were no chairs left Yami lifted her onto his lap. Yugi made another hot chocolate for her.
"Now that everyone is here," Malik said as Yugi sat down with his hot chocolate. "The reason why we're here is to warn you that Bakura and Y.Malik are trying to find Kariko. They want to know who she is why she knew their names. Of course they asked me and Ryou but we didn't say anything. We don't want to she her get hurt. She's been through enough." Malik finished. Yami's arms around Kariko's waist tighten.
"Don't worry Yami we won't let anything happened to Kariko." Jou said. Ryou and Malik were confused.
"Oh ya you guys don't know." Jou said after taking a sip of his hot chocolate.
"We don't know what?" Ryou asked.
"Should we tell them?" Seto asked Yami.
"Ryou, Malik what we are about to tell you, you can't tell Bakura or Y.Malik." Yami told them. Kariko was half drinking and half wearing her hot chocolate. She was still half asleep so no one said anything.
"We won't say anything. We promise." They both said and they meant it. Yami picked up a napkin and wiped the hot chocolate off of Kariko's face.
"Well you see back in Egypt Yami was the pharaoh and there was an assassin attempt on the life of his wife, Chikyuu, and his daughter, Mitsukai, but Chikyuu sent their daughter to the future. To this time." Jou said. Ryou and Malik were shocked. "But to make sure that Mitsukai would be safe Chikyuu changed her name from Mitsukai to Kariko." Jou finished.
"Who were the assassins?" Ryou asked gently. Yami looked up from cleaning up Kariko's face.
"You know them both well." He said darkly.
"Bakura and Y.Malik." Malik said. Yami nodded and picked up the once again sleeping Kariko and headed back upstairs. Once upstairs Yami place Kariko on the sleeping bag on the floor in Yugi's room. One crimson red amethyst colored eye cracked open and peered up at Yami.
"I'm sleepy Otousan." She mumbled as Yami placed another blanket on top of her.
"That's why you're in bed." Yami told her as her eyes slid close again. Sleep tight. He thought as he kissed her forehead and headed back downstairs.
"So you're telling me that Bakura and Y.Malik are probably gunna try and kill Kariko again?" Yami heard Ryou ask.
"Yes I'm pretty sure on that." Yami replied as he entered the kitchen again. "She's finally sleeping for good."
"But why would Bakura and Y.Malik try to kill Kariko? She's seems like a sweet girl to me." Malik asked. Before anyone could answer the phone rang. Sugoroku picked it up.
"Hello. Turtle Game Shop. How may I help you?" He asked.
"Is Ryou Bakura there?" A cold voice asked.
"Yes he is. Who may I ask is calling?"
"Tell him that it is Bakura."
"1 minute please." Sugoroku said and place the phone down. "Guys Bakura is on the phone and he wants to talk to Ryou."
"Tell him that I'm spending the night here. Is that ok?" Ryou asked. Sugoroku nodded and picked up the phone again.
"Ryou is spending the night here."
"Fine then tell him to bed home early tomorrow." *click* Sugoroku had just replace the phone when it rang again.
"Hello. Turtle Game Shop. How may I help you?" He asked again.
"Is Malik Ishtar there?" A voice said.
"Yes he is. Who may I ask is calling?" He asked.
"Y.Malik."
"1 moment please." Sugoroku said and placed the phone down. "Guys now Y.Malik is on the phone, would you like to spend the night to Malik?" Malik nodded. "Malik is spending the night here."
"Fine then. Tell him to be home tomorrow morning." *click* Sugoroku hung up the phone again.
"Well it looks like we need to do something before Bakura and Y.Malik figure out the Kariko is Mitsukai." Ryou said. Everyone nodded.
***********MEANWHILE UPSTAIRS**************************************
"It's ok little Master I'm sure that Yami will still treat you the same way." A voice behind her said. She leaned back against the chest of the figure behind her.
"I'm glad you're here Magic. But why did you come?" She asked as Magic pulled the blanket over them. He knew that his little master would want him to stay the night a keep her safe.
"I came because I felt that you could use the company." Magic told her.
"Thank you Magic." Kariko said as she fall asleep in her friend's lap.
