Yami: It feels good to be out of that linen closet.
Yugi: Good now do your job.
Yami: Fine. Since T.G.A.G already thanked her reviewers I'll just say that she doesn't own YGO but Kariko/Mitsukai is hers.
Yugi: On with the chapter.
************************************************************************
Yugi headed upstairs to his room to try and get some sleep. Yami was already in his soul room. Ryou and Malik were going to sleep in the guestroom and Seto and Jou were going to sleep downstairs. When Yugi entered his room he was surprised to see a sleeping Magic holding a sleeping Kariko. Magic opened one eye and saw Yugi, he went to get up but Yugi shook his head. "It's ok Magic you can stay." Yugi said as he climbed into bed. Magic settled back against the wall. Yugi fell asleep without any trouble. Soon everyone in the house was asleep.
**********************OVER AT RYOU'S*********************************
Bakura paced across the living room floor. Where the hell is he? he thought. Just then the doorbell rang and Bakura turned on his heels and headed out of the dark room cursing as he kicked the coffee table. He opened the door to find Y.Malik standing there. "It's about time you got here." Bakura hissed.
"What you're not glad to see me?" Y.Malik teased. Bakura grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and pulled him into the house. "I take it your not." Y.Malik said as he rubbed his neck.
"Shut the hell up." Bakura said. "Don't forget what we're after."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Y.Malik replied as he sat down. "We're after that damn pharaoh's brat."
"And why?" Bakura asked.
"I dunno. You tell me." Y.Malik said sarcastically. Bakura hit him in the back of the head. "Enough with the hitting. Ra you have an anger management problem."
"Yeah and you need therapy." Bakura countered. Y.Malik stood up and bowed.
"Thank you." He said. "And Bakura you never did tell me why we're after that kid anyways."
"I didn't? It must have slipped my mind." Bakura said with mocked shock.
"Well are you gunna tell me or what."
"Fine. The reason why we're after her is because if we can kill her off the pharaoh will lose his mind. Don't forget what happened when we killed his wife."
"Oh yeah. That was fun." Y.Malik grinned.
"I told you, you need therapy. Only a psycho would've found almost being killed fun." Bakura sighed. "Now we need to find out who that kid was and how she knew our names."
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's too late." Y.Malik complained.
"Ra you haven't changed in 5000 years." Bakura said. "Still whining about everything."
"Yip." Y.Malik smiled. "Now I'm gunna crash on your couch since Malik is out and I don't feel like dealing with his sister Isis (A/N what is Isis's Japanese name? Me: Isis is Malik's sister right? Yami: How am I supposed to know? Me: I dunno. Yami: Then don't ask me.)" He said as he headed to the living room.
I hope we find out who that kid is soon. Bakura thought as he headed upstairs.
********************BACK AT THE TURTLE GAME SHOP******************
(A/N: It is now morning time. Bakura: Just get back to the story. Me: Fine.)
Where Malik got up the next morning and headed to the bathroom he pass Yugi's room and saw Magic. Magic was still sleeping with Kariko on his lap.
"AAAHHH!" He screamed waking the entire house as he bumped into Yami, who had just come out of his soul room.
"Where's the fire at?" Kariko asked groggily as she sat up in Magic's lap. Yugi rolled off his bed. Jou and Seto ran up stairs, Ryou came out of the guestroom where he was sleeping on the floor. Sugoroku came out of his room and saw Magic.
"So she can summon the monster off the cards." He said.
"What happened?" Jou asked.
"I'm sorry it is just that Yami startled me." Malik apologized.
"That's ok it is about time everyone got up anyways." Yami said. Magic stood up, still holding Kariko wrapped up in her blanket in his arms.
"I think someone might still be a little sleepy." Magic said motioning to Kariko who had fallen back asleep. Yami took her from him.
"Thank you Magic you can go now." Yami said holding his daughter close. Magic nodded and vanished from sight. "Come one Mitsukai it is time to wake up." Yami said and gently shook her.
"I don't wanna go to school Otousan." She mumbled.
"You don't have to go to school Sweet Pea. (A/N- I call my cats this all the time. Yugi: Yeah and they answer to it. Me: So. Yugi: Thus your cats are weird. Me: Don't make funny of my kitties.) It is time to wake up." He said and shook her gently again. Kariko opened one eye then the other.
"Where did Magic go?" She asked through a yawn. "And you can put me down now. You never carried me this much back in Egypt." Yami set Kariko down. The floor was cold under her bare feet. "Pick me back up the floors cold." She said. Yami laughed and pick her up again. "I hate the cold."
"I know. Now let's get some breakfast." Yugi laughed as his stomach growled and headed off downstairs. Everyone followed laughing. In the kitchen Sugoroku was already making bacon and eggs for everyone. Yami placed a squirming Kariko on a chair then he headed to the living room to get her socks where she had thrown them last night. When he came back everyone was already eating. He handed Kariko her socks.
"Here put these on." He said as he took as seat beside Yugi.
"After breakfast." She mumbled and put the socks beside her plate. It didn't take the group long to finish eating breakfast.
"I think that we should be getting back." Malik said. Kariko was trying to pulling on her socks by hoping around the kitchen.
"Lets all go." She said.
"I don't think that's such a good idea Kariko." Ryou said. Kariko decided to sit down on the floor and pull on her socks.
"Why not?" She asked. Confusion clouding over normally bright eyes.
"Because Bakura and Y.Malik are looking for you." Ryou told her. Kariko stood up now wearing a pair of bright blue socks.
"So if I get into trouble I can call on Magic." She said.
"Fine lets all go." Seto said. Kariko and Yugi ran to get their shoes on.
"Well those two are certainly full of energy. I've never seen Yugi so hyper." Sugoroku said.
"I think that having the naturally hyper Mitsukai around instead of the timid Kariko had helped a lot." Yami said as he walked down the hall. Ryou, Seto, Malik and Jou followed. Once everyone was ready they head off to Ryou's first since it was the nearest. Everything was fine until Kariko ran to cross the street and almost get hit by a car. Jou managed to pull her out of the way just in time. After that Yami held her hand.
"I don't want you to hold me hand. I wanna be able to run." She complained. Yugi giggled. "It's not funny Yugi." She said as she tried to pull her hand out of Yami's.
"Sorry there Mitsukai but you're a little to hyper this morning and since you almost got hit by that car I'm going to hold your hand until you settle down." Yami told her. Kariko started pouting.
"It's not fair." She pouted. By that time they had reached Ryou's house. Ryou opened the door.
"Come on in guys." He said and everyone walked in. Upstairs Bakura heard the door open and close so he headed downstairs. In the living room Y.Malik was still dead to the world.
"RYOU!" Bakura yelled as he came down the stairs. When he entered the kitchen where the group was he saw Kariko. The resemblance to Yami was uncanny now. (Me: Should I describe how she looks now? Yami: Sure why not. Me: Ok I will.) Kariko's eyes were now mix of crimson red and amethyst, her hair was still the same colors but the hold attitude had change instead of being timid and shy she was hyper and full of energy with a childlike innocence. Bakura noticed her at once.
"It's you." He hissed. Kariko ran and hid behind Yami.
"Don't let him near me." She said. Her voice muffled from being buried in the back of Yami's shirt.
"Don't worry I won't let him hurt you." Yami told her gently.
"Yeah right just like you wouldn't let anyone hurt Chikyuu and look how she ended up." Bakura smirked. By now Y.Malik had finally woken up and headed to the kitchen.
"It's her Bakura." He said. Bakura smacked him.
"I know it's her." He replied. Ryou and Malik stepped in front of Yami and Kariko.
"Leave them alone." They said.
"And who is going to make us?" Y.Malik asked. There was a bright flash of blue light.
"I am."
