Sweeter than me
Chapter 4:
The next morning everyone met at the Domino Mortuary to arrange Tea's funeral. They decided to have a little one since her mom was out of town and her dad was too.
They walked into the doors of the building and waited in the lobby.
"Okay, so when are we going to get out of here?" Mai asked. "My soap opera is coming on in an hour."
"Oh boy, and which soap opera is this, Mai?" Duke asked sarcastically.
"All my parents offspring."
"Ugh..."
The waited about five more minutes then a man came out of the door.
"Hello all."
"Hey," most of them said.
"Well, let's get down to business. My name is Mr. Buttram. And this..." He led the teens into another room, "Is our sleep chamber."
Marik and Malik were still snickering from the man's name. "Hey, Malik. Why don't we ram his butt?"
This was a room filed with different coffins.
Mr. Buttram stood in the middle of the room. "Now, I have to go to the back room for a little while. Why don't you guys pick out what you want and I'll be back."
The door closed behind him as he left the room.
"Well... we should get this over with as soon as possible." Kaiba groaned.
They spread out across the room and looked at different coffins. Marik and Malik had one the thought was suitable.
"Hey Marik. This one looks good, what's it called?"
"Uh..." Marik read the tag. "It says pine box."
"Oh, sounds good."
"Yeah, do you think Kaiba will go for it?"
"He should. It only costs $300."
Meanwhile, Yugi and Yami were looking on the other side of the room. Something had caught Yugi's eye and he looked at the tag.
"Hey Yami, look at this one."
"Hm?"
"Isn't it nice? It's called Skyway to heaven."
"Well, it is very pretty. But... this is Kaiba's money were spending. I don't think he'd want..."
"Yami, Tea would have picked out the best coffin she could have found for us. We should do the same. Besides, Kaiba's rich."
"Oh yeah."
Close to them were Ryou and Bakura. Well, actually Ryou was the only one looking at the coffins. Bakura was watching the T.V they had suspended from the ceiling.
Ryou picked up a label off of one. "What do you think about this one?"
"..."
"Bakura?"
"Look, Ryou...that machine takes the shell off a boiled egg... just takes it right off."
"Bakura!"
"What?!" He turned around. "What is it?"
"Were supposed to be looking for coffins."
"Coffins? For who?"
"TEA!"
"Oh yeah... didn't she die yesterday?"
Ryou slapped his forehead. "Just tell me what you think about this one?"
"Hmm. Well, it is nice... I guess. But..."
"But what?"
"It looks too good for Tea."
"Ugh..."
Just then Mr. Buttram walked into the room. "Well, hello again. I trust you've all picked a final resting place for your friend."
"Well?" Kaiba asked looking at the others.
Each of them pointed to the one they liked best. Kaiba looked at each of them and looked back at Yugi. "Yugi, this one costs $6000! What were you thinking?"
"Well, I wanted to give Tea a good sending off! Which is more than I can say for the rest of you." He looked at the other teens.
"YAWN!" Mr. Buttram was getting bored.
"What about ours, Kaiba?" Malik asked.
"Hm?" Kaiba looked at it. "Hey, Buttram. How much for this pine box?"
"$300."
"Sold."
"What?" Ryou whined. "That's a pine box!"
"So, what's your point?"
"..."
Mr. Buttram walked over to Kaiba. "So when do you want the services? Thursday?"
"No way!" Everyone yelled.
"Oh yeah, I forgot... the new Sponge bob episodes."
"Right."
"So, how about..." He looked at his schedules, "Tuesday? At 7:00?"
Marik thought. "You got a T.V guide we could check?"
Kaiba elbowed him, "That'll be fine."
They left after all the details were straightened out and went home. The only three that were really satisfied with the choice of coffin though were Malik, Marik, and Bakura.
They were talking on the phone at midnight.
"Ryou is freaking out because he thinks I killed Tea."
"He'll get over it. Hikari's always make big fuss' over nothing."
"I do not!"
"Yes you do. Every time I ask him to make me a sandwich he goes ballistic."
"You don't even ask. You just say do it!"
"You two argue about the dumbest things. I don't even like sandwiches..."
"Well, you're weird."
Marik looked at the time. "We gotta go, there's this new show coming on in about two minutes."
"Okay bye."
