Sweet Blindness
Chapter 5:
Marik and Malik made their way to the kitchen and Marik went into the refrigerator.
"Aren't you going to help me look?" Marik started to search the fridge.
"I'm depressed. And besides how hard is it to find a large Halloween cake, anyway?"
"I've found it, it's just I might need a little help lifting it..."
"What?" Malik walked over beside his yami. "Whoa! Kaiba must have spent big bucks on this baby!"
"What makes you think he bought it? He might have made it himself."
"Either way, think how much supplies he'd have to buy to make it..."
The cake was seven thick layers, each a different flavor. Like Chocolate, coconut, vanilla, strawberry, carrot, ice cream cake, and a rainbow flavor at the bottom. It was covered in black and orange sprinkles, and it had frosting ghosts and pumpkins.
"Oh wow, this is gonna be good." Marik took out two forks from the drawer. "Okay, you can have the carrot part, and I'll take the rest."
"No way, Marik!"
"Aw, fine. But if you get in the way of my mouth, I'm not going to stop and pick you out."
"Wait a minute, how do we get this thing out of there?"
"I guess we'll just have eat right here."
"I like the way you think!" The dived into the cake and shoveled huge chunks of it into their mouths.

Yugi came back to what was left of the party, "Hey guys..."
"Hey Yugi." Tea stood up, "Where is Joey?"
"I don't know...I think he went to look for Kaiba."
"Oh."
"Hey Yugi don't worry, they'll work it out." Tristan patted Yugi on the back.
"Yeah, you gotta have faith!" Duke added.
"I don't know..." Mai leaned back on the couch, "I've seen things like this before. It usually ends up tearing apart everyone involved."
"Thanks, Mai." Yugi groaned.

Joey and Bakura were walking down the hallway of the 3rd floor looking for Ryou.
"I'm telling you, Joey... he's not going to talk to me."
"Now, how do you know that if you haven't talked to him, huh?"
"I did talk to him..."
Joey put his hand on Bakura's shoulder. "You talked to him earlier. He probably cooled down by now."
"...Thank you."
"For what?"
"Understanding...er, even if you don't. Thanks for pretending that you do." Bakura looked up into Joey's eyes. "Thanks."
"Aw, no problem." Joey blushed a little.
"Joey?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry for kissing Kaiba like that. I never really thought of you as a close friend...but I am so sorry."
"It's okay, man."
Bakura gave him a weak smile and Joey beamed back at him.

Well, back in the kitchen Marik and Malik were stuffed full of cake and the kitchen was a mess. Pieces of cake were thrown all over cabinets and counters, frosting was smeared all over the floor and the only thing left of the original cake was the carrot layer.
"Oh... Marik? Are you still alive?"
"No... are you?"
"I don't think so..." Malik rolled onto his side to squish the pain, "Marik! My tummy hurts!"
"Bad guys don't say tummy!"
"You just did."
"I don't have the energy to argue with you. C'mon, we gotta get up..."
"What for?"
"Must you always question me?" Marik picked himself up, and then tried to drag his hikari up with him. "Come on, Malik. You gotta at least try to help me."
"The last time I tried to help you... I ate half of a seven layer cake... and I feel like... like...BLAGH!" Malik threw up his whole half of the cake, right onto Marik.
"Why you little BLAGH!" Marik threw up, too.
The huge seven-layer cake was now all over the floor, mixed with everything else the two ate that day. Which consisted of chicken, roast beef, a pizza, and a breath mint that they shared.
"Oh, I feel much better." Malik smiled.
"Yeah, me too. So I guess we can go now."
"Go? Go where?"
Marik walked towards the door, "Weren't you listening to me before?"
"Hmm?"
"Ugh! C'mon. Were going to find Ryou before Bakura does so we can make things better."
"Oh, okay."
So, they thought the best thing to do would be to search the entire mansion from top to bottom. They started on the roof.
"Hey Ryou! Ryou!" Marik shouted.
"Shhh!" Malik shook him. "Don't yell!"
"Why not? How do expect to find him if he can't even hear us looking'?"
"That's just it. Ryou doesn't want to be found. So if we yell like untamed banshee's he'll run away."
"Oh you mean like in that movie where the hunters were really quiet so they could sneak up behind the rabbits and shoot 'em?"
"Yes... I mean, no. Were not going to shoot Ryou. Unless of course, you..."
"Hmm...Nah."
Well after that, they searched the loft and the poolroom, and then they looked in the backyard. Not really because they though Ryou was back there but because Malik had to take a whiz.
"Are you done yet?" Marik asked from behind the tree.
"Yep," Malik came from the other side.
"Okay, lets go." They were about to leave when Marik heard something. "Hey, Malik. You hear that?"
"Yeah... my tummy is growling. I think I'm hungry again."
"No, not that! Listen."
They listened for a minute or two then heard nothing, "C'mon Marik. It was just imagination."
"Yeah."
Just then a branch from a tree broke and someone screamed, "Ahh!" the tree branch hit the ground with thud.
Marik and Malik went to see who it was.
"Darn it. Ouch, that hurts." It was Ryou, and the branch had fallen on top of him, pinning him down to the ground.
"Ryou?" Malik sat beside him.
"Hey Ryou." Marik sat on the other side.
"What are you two doing back here?"
"We could be asking you the same question."
"I'm back here because I wanted to be alone." Ryou struggled to lift the branch but it was too heavy for him.
"Well, I want to know why you won't forgive Bakura."
"Yeah." Malik added.
"I don't feel like talking about it. Now will you please get this branch off of me?"
Malik and Marik grinned at each other. "No, you have to talk to us first."
"This is inhuman! I demand that you release me!"
"Not a chance."
