Hey, you came back! Yay! This is chapter 9. Or 10, or whichever, if I have not yet deleted the other thing. . . Anyways, last chapter was the exciting adventure of what Yugi, Joey, Yami, and Kaiba had to go through in the basement. Ok, maybe it wasn't exciting, but I tried my best. They're still in the basement, however this chapter isn't as much about them. Well, lets get on with it. ^^

Yugi: Am I still in danger from Kaiba?

Kaiba: Oh, I'll say you are. * cracks knuckles *

Yugi: Eep.

GF: Kaiba, lay off. It was just gold. . . I'll pay you to not hurt him, ok?

Kaiba: * cheers up * Ok. * holds out hand for money *

GF: Here you go. * hands him one 1 dollar * Now don't touch Yugi.

Kaiba: What? You little-!

GF: * snaps fingers *

Kaiba: * disappears *

GF: Ah, I love the powers of being an Authoress! ^_^

(scene: Yami Bakura walking down the hallway after he's left the others still locked in the basement)

Yami B: * thinking to himself * Don't worry, Pharaoh. You'll be out soon enough. But I need all of you kept in there until I can finish the first stage of my plan. . . Then I shall have revenge! That item Green Flame was using will make all of this much more easy. And I know just how to get it from her. Heh, the fool. For all her foolish powers she's still just as weak as anyone else when it comes to certain factors. . . and I know what they are.

He proceeds to go into an evil laugh that would send chills down the bravest mans spine, before collapsing into a coughing fit. (the better the laugh, the worse the coughs.)

Yami B: * recovers * Curse it all!

-----------------------------*---------------------------*------------------ ---------------*----------------------------------

(scene: Green Flame walking down the hallway.)

GF: Great, now I have to go find everybody and see where they scattered off to.

Mysterious Ghostly Voice: * coming from down the hallway * Greeeeeeeen Flaaaaaame.

GF: * blinks * Eh?

MGV: Green Flame. . .

GF: Hello? Is somebody there? * walks towards the sound *

MGV: Come here, Green Flame.

GF: * walks faster * * comes to a door *

MGV: In here. . .

GF: * opens door *

Behind the door is a very large room, dark because none of the lights in it are on. It is very big and empty, but it seems the voice was coming from inside. . .

GF: Huh? What's in here? * looks around from the doorway *

Suddenly a spotlight from the ceiling flashes on, and its pointing to the middle of the room. In the pool of light is but a simple table, and on it is nothing but a spoon and bowl of chocolate pudding.

GF: O_O CHOCOLATE PUDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * runs to the table and begins dishing down the pudding as fast as she is able *

In five minutes, she has emptied the large bowl, and now looks around the still dark room with an oddly calm look on her face. She's looking for more pudding, but slowly her eyes droop lower and lower, until she just sits on the floor and falls asleep against the table. From the shadows of the room, Yami Bakura creeps up and smirks down on the sleeping Green Flame. He kneels down and begins to check her pockets for the whistle he had seen her use earlier on Pegasus.

Yami B: Heh heh heh, everybody has their weaknesses, and it just so happens I know Green Flame's. Who was it that told me? Ah yes, hikari himself. Chocolate puts her to sleep, and its just to bad she can't resist eating it. * still checking her pockets * Where the heck is that whistle?! How many pockets does she have? * counts all the pockets on her jeans and vest * 11. 11 pockets. What would anybody do with. . .anyways. . . Aha! Here it is! I found it! * stands up * Now I shall rule the story! Muah ahah hah * stops himself before coughing *

-----------------------------------*----------------------------*----------- ----------------*---------------------------------

(Scene: Mokuba and Tea walking down a (different) hallway)

Mokuba: Don't worry Tea. This is the hallway that the basement door was on, and the others should be somewhere around there, right? Even if the lights have been turned on, they should still be hanging around somewhere. . .

Tea: You're right Mokuba. Where's the basement?

Mokuba: Ah, here it is. * reaches the basement door * Maybe they're in here. * opens the door *

Yugi: * comes running out of the door * Finally! Free! * sees Kaiba coming out after him * Eep!

Kaiba: * glaring at EVERYONE in sight *

Yami: Don't go hurting Yugi like- * shuts up once Kaiba glares at him *

Joey: * mutters * Man he's mad.

Makuba: Big brother! * hugs Kaiba * You've been in there all that time. What's wrong? You look mad.

Kaiba: * grumbles * Nothing Mokuba. . . I'll just go back to get it later.

Yami: I wouldn't do that- * is silenced by another glare *

Tea: Oh! We've been looking for you everywhere! Aren't the others with you?

Yugi: Nope. We thought they were with you. We were locked in the basement.

Makuba: Why are you so mad Seto?

Kaiba: It's nothing Mokuba. Nothing. . . nothing. . .

Tea: What happened to you guys down there? Why is he so mad?

Joey: You don't want to know. . .

Tea: Um. . .ok.

Unexpectedly the speakers in every room come on. A computerized voice comes out of the boxes, one of the special features of Kaiba's computers.

Speakers: Would everyone please report to the living room. Thank you. * turns back off *

Kaiba: What? Somebody's messing with my computers! Impossible, I have the biggest security system on there. No one can use it but me. How did they. . . ?

Yugi: I don't know, but maybe if we go to the living room we'll find out.

The others nod in agreement and start off towards the living room.

------------------------*------------------------------*-------------------- ----------*----------------------------------*---

(Scene: living room)

The six arrive in the living room, where Bakura is already sitting on the couch, looking as confused as they. When he sees Kaiba in an obvious bad mood, he looks as though he wishes he could disappear. Kaiba marches right up to him, however.

Kaiba: Tell your Yami, he's dead.

Bakura: Um, Yami's already dead.

Kaiba: You know what I mean!

Bakura: Eep! Yes sir!

Tristan: * walks in from out of nowhere * Wow, I have no idea where I have just been. Probably all over the mansion, this place is huge! But I heard the announcement. So, what are we all here for?

Everyone: * shrug *

Tristan: You mean you don't know?

Everyone: Nope.

Tristan: Oh well. * sits in a chair *

Most everybody finds a seat and waits, Kaiba still mad about losing the gold and somebody other than him fooling with his computers. After a while, Yami Bakura walks in.

Yami B: Ah, I see you've all come. Except for Green Flame, but that was expected.

Kaiba: * stands up * It was you! You were the one messing with my speakers and my computers!!

Yami B: You're security system sucks.

Kaiba: Bakura, you don't need to tell your Yami that message anymore, I'll do it myself! * prepares to punch Yami Bakura *

Joey & Tristan: * restrain Kaiba * Come on man, cool down.

Yami B: * laughs * Pathetic, all of you. I just came to tell you all that I am now in control of this story.

Yami: * snickers * What'd you do, Tomb Robber? Steal the authoress' drawing pad again?

Yami B: * scowls * That was a mistake, it will not happen again. I am sure of it now, because I hold, a Writer Item!

Everyone: * gasp *

Yami: You lie!

Yami B: Is that so? Then tell me, where is Green Flame? * smirks * I'll tell you what she's doing, she's sound asleep. It was as easy as snapping my fingers.

Joey: You're lying. You have to be.

Yami B: Do you really think so? Hm, then maybe I should show you with a nice example. Come here, Joey.

Joey: Er, I don't think I will. Ya know, just in case. * hides behind Kaiba *

Yami B: You're afraid. You do believe me then. Heh, but I can still show you. . . * turns to Yugi, and takes out the whistle. He blows on it *

Yugi: Huh? Oh. . . * turns mind controlled *

Yami: Yugi? What's wrong? Yugi?!

Yami B: He is now under my control. Watch. Yugi, punch Kaiba in the face

Yugi: * walks up to Kaiba, and before Kaiba can react, Yugi punches him *

Everyone: * gasp *

Kaiba: Did Yugi just. . . Did Yugi. . . Did he. . . PUNCH me?!?!

---------------------------------------------*------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------

GF: That's it for chapter 9!

Yugi: Oh great. I just punched Seto Kaiba. Now I'm REALLY in for it.

Yami B: Hey! You're supposed to be mind-controlled!

Yugi: Oh yeah. @_@ Master.

Yami B: That's better. MUAHAHAHAAHA! * coughcoughcough *

Yugi: Ah, forget this. It's stupid. * walks off *

Yami B: Wha. . . ? GF! He's not following the script!

GF: Who cares? The chapter's over! Technically, neither am I. I'm supposed to be asleep.

Yami B: So go to sleep!

GF: Alright, whatever. Goodnight. * walks off *

Yami B: Bye. . . . . . * sweatdrops as he realizes he's the only person still there * Now what? Well, I am in control of the fic. I should take more responsibility, I guess. Um. . . what am I supposed to say. What does GF always say? Oh yeah! Read and REVIEW!!!! And support me in my awesome coolness. And if you want, give me ideas. Not that I need them of course, but it'd be nice. I'm always looking for ways to torture humanity. Thanks. Ja ne!
