A/N: Dammit! This is the last part of "The Duct Tape Tragedies". -sniffle- I'll have to say goodbye to this idea. Well, I hope it goes out with a bang. Sooo. Here it is. The last of "The Duct Tape Tragedies". And, whatever you do, don't review!
{At a random house}
"Mommy!" A little boy whined, letting the blinds fall back onto the window, "There's a boy running outside in his underwear.."
"Now, Josh," his mother came behind him and patted the boy, Josh, on the head, "I'm sure no one in their right mind would run out in the streets, while it's raining, half-naked. See, I'll show you-" She looked out the window and, much to her horror, caught a glimpse of the fleeing Bakura, in his underwear, "Oh, dear God, Josh," She kneeled down by the boy, "Do you want to talk about what you've just seen?"
{At the Bakura residence}
"Oh, kami-sama," Ryou said, throwing random plushies aside as he squeezed back out from under the bed, "Why me?" After he was finally out, he began to search everywhere, looking for a certain plushie.
"Where are you, Mr. Bobo?" He asked, digging back into his closet. Mr. Bobo, a clown plushie. Bakura was horribly scared of clowns. The clown plushie had belonged to Ryou ever since he was a little kid, and when he found out that Bakura was horribly scared of clown plushies, it had been a mistake.
{Flashback}
"Ryou! Baka! Where's my knife?" Bakura fumed silently. No one messed with his knife and got away with it, "Where is it? Tell me!"
Ryou grinned mischieviously, "Go and find it, Yami!"
Grumbling under his breath, Bakura searched high and low for his favored knife, but to no avail. Sighing in defeat, he passed Ryou's room. An idea struck him. Looking shadily around, he slipped inside. Questing fingers turned over everything in search for his knife.
"Knife, where are you?" Bakura called in a whisper. That was when he found.... it. While digging through the closet, a bunch of plushies cascaded upon his head. Reeling back in surprise, cursing Ryou and his many, favored plushies, he sat up from his lying position. And there, on his chest, was the most horrid looking thing he'd ever seen. Screeching like a little girl, Bakura stood up in surprise, "Get it off! Get it off!! Get it OFF!!!" He howled, dancing around as if his feet were on fire.
{End Flashback}
It was a simple and extremely devilish plan to get Bakura back into his right mind, that is, if he had one. Grinning, Ryou finally found the plushie he was looking for.
{Kame Game Shop}
Yuugi was just in the middle of stacking a few cards in alphabetical order and Yami was watching an episode of Judge Mathis when a knock resounded from the door.
"Aibou, get that," Yami said, completely absorbed in whether the boyfriend owed his ex-girlfriend money or not after she found out he was cheating on her. In Yami's opinion, it was all stupid. Couldn't they just play a shadow game and get it over with?
"Alright." Yuugi nodded and placed the cards down. Opening the door, the bell tingled with the announcement of a new visitor, "Hello?"
"Don't you 'hello' me, runt." A soaking wet, shirtless Bakura snarled. The marker on his chest and the end of his eyes had run down his pale skin, washing off with the rain. He pushed his way in as Yuugi scittered away like a frightened squirrel.
"Baka Pharoah! Where are you?" Bakura roared, seperating the duct tape from the roll, "Time for judgement! A sacrifice must be made. A SACRIFICE!!"
In the meanwhile, Yuugi was perched behind Yami, using him as a human shield, "Yami, what's wrong with him?"
"You know, his usual psychoticness."
"I've found you, baka Pharoah!" Bakura roared triumphantly, tackling both Yami and Yuugi. It wasn't long before he had them both bound by the hands and feet with duct tape and a strip of the silvery tape across their mouths.
"Mwahahahahahahaha!" Bakura laughed maniacaly, standing over them with his hands on his hips, "Now, to raid the fridge.." With that lost comment to be fufilled, and his stomach, he marched off to the kitchen.
/ So, what now, Yami? / Yuugi asked over their mind link. They had seperate bodies, yes, but they still kept in touch through the Sennen puzzle.
[I don't know, Yuugi. I guess wait until the storm passes.] Just then, lightning rippled across the sky, as if saying it had no intention of letting up.
{Outside the Kame Shop}
With Mr. Bobo in hand, Ryou smiled, this would be so much fun! And, sweet revenge on his Yami. Finding the door unlocked made the mission exceptionally easy. Except, he wanted to go in in style! Roughly throwing open the door, Ryou announced in a loud voice, "HALT!! For I'm here to stop all evil!" Rather liking the way the word 'halt' echoed through the house. Stepping inside, he hid Mr. Bobo from sight.
"Mpht! MMMMMph!" The urgent cries sounded from the inner core of the Kame Shop. Silently, Ryou crept into the room with Yami and Yuugi.
"Never fear! Ryou is here!" He hissed, roughly peeling the duct tape from their lips.
"OW!!" The two moaned, "Next time, watch it!"
"All part of the job." Ryou's smile broadened, "A rather fun part of the job, I might add."
"What's all this?" Bakura asked, stepping from the kitchen, a leftover chicken leg in his hand and part of it in his mouth. He dropped it when he saw Ryou, "BAKA hikari!" He screamed, "No matter, I'll kill you anyway."
As quickly as you can say 'five-thousand monkeys', Ryou pulled out Mr. Bobo and held it in front of him like a lion tamer might a chair, "Bakura, put the chicken down."
Whimpering, Bakura placed it down, "Look, I don't want any trouble.. I just.. Erm.. Never mind, that's beside the point."
Ryou pressed forward, Mr. Bobo in front.
Bakura screamed, then curled up in a futile ball on the floor, knees to his face, rocking back and forth, "Happy place. Happy place." He continued to repeat the words silently to himself.
"Promise me that you'll get rid of the duct tape." Ryou said insistantly.
"I promise. I promise!" Bakura's voice rose.
"Good. Now we can go home." Ryou put Mr. Bobo away. Having been reunited with his Yami, Ryou smiled happily and put Mr. Bobo away. The two walked out of the Kame Shop.
"Hey. Ryou? Where'd you go? We're still tied! RYOU!!!" Yuugi screamed.
{Bakura Residence}
A day had gone by. The storm had passed. Everything seemed back to normal.
"BAKURA!!! Where'd you buy those firecrackers?"
"Ehehehehehehe! Malik sold them to me!" Bakura cackled, setting light to the wick before Ryou could reach him. Before long, the whole house resided in a long round of Boomboomboomboom's, Bakura cheering. Not long after that, the rug had caught fire, sending Ryou in a screaming rage for a fire extinguisher. Or, something like that.
