AN: Welcome to the Inanimate Object chapter! This contains some information, but more randomness. We repeat anyone allergic to randomness please run away – far away! We did this on a sugar high but wrote the author notes when we finally got a hold of reality! So enjoy! Thanks for all the reviews. We actually finished this story before we put up the last chapter so we can't change it, sorry Pharaoh Star Yami, Bakura and Ryou are still on holiday...with his father....in Egypt...far away....really far away.
The Thief of the Card
Chapter 6
"Why don't we go back home to look at all the clues?" Yami suggested. He was getting cold and anyway, he didn't like the looks the police officers were giving them.
"You can bring those nimrods with you." Yami said pointing at Tristan and Tèa.
"Alright." Yugi said cheerfully. "I'll call Joey and see if he's back from work yet." Yugi bounced all the way home.
Once home Yami first off grabbed another bottle of tomato sauce, a white fluffy straw to drink it with, and his handy dandy notebook. Then he jumped into the nearest phone booth and changed into his Sherlock Holmes outfit, except for the hat which wouldn't fit on his overly sized hair.
Tristan had grabbed a packet of the new creamy cheese puffs (a combination of cheese puffs and cream puffs) and started eating them.
"Joey said he'll be over soon!" Yugi said who had some how managed to call him in the short period of time between getting home and saying this.
Tèa was standing in front of the non-existence fire, trying to warm up. This, of course, was highly unlikely to happen.
"Anyone want to play twister?" Everybody jumped as Joey entered the room and saying this.
"Where's the twister mat?" Asked Yugi.
"Elementary, my dear Yugi." Yami said. "It's on the floor." And sure enough, just as he said this a twister mat appeared on the floor in front of them.
"I like twister!" Tristan yelled, doing a cannon ball onto the mat. Joey followed by doing a body slam onto Tristan.
"Ouchies." Tristan howled in pain.
"Am I the only sane one here?" Yami said to himself as Yugi and Tèa began playing Twister also.
"Yup!" Grandpa said, popping around the corner and handing Yami a box of more fan mail. Yami dropped the box and sighed, then screeched in pain as he realized the box had landed on his foot.
"That's it! YOU'RE GOING TO THE SHADOW REALM!" And with that the poor fan mail disappeared in a purple portal that had conveniently appeared.
"Hmm, why didn't I think of that?" Grandpa asked the wall.
"Because you're an insolent fool and Yami and I are the only intelligent beings in the house apart from the toaster but she's currently visiting the moon." The wall replied making Yami sigh and walk to his room so he could actually think without being interrupted by inanimate objects or annoying/stupid people.
"I'm not rude!" Grandpa began yelling at the wall which caused the neighbours to call the police. Of course Yugi just told them that Grandpa had just left the loony bin.
Yami sat down on the floor and tied to ignore the voices coming from downstairs. He closed his eyes, trying to relax. He switched on the radio to some nature sounds music. He began to meditate.
Without realizing it he fell asleep...
He and another young boy were walking through the courtyard. His long blonde hair spiked up at odd angles that Einstein would have declared impossible. They were both dressing in long purple robes.
"It's a full moon tonight," The boy's voice was familiar but also out of place. It was dark and deep, almost unnatural.
"Why does that matter?" Yami heard himself asking.
"Don't you remember? Tonight is the King of Thieves ritual. All the preparations are in place. I would have thought that you of all people would know that." He commented.
"I don't find out much. I don't even know what this ritual you speak of is. I just have to wait and let it happen to me." He said.
"C'mere." The boy led him down a corridor and up a flight of stairs. Suddenly they were standing on the roof top. There was a table draped in a white cloth and surrounding them were three Blue Eyes White Dragons. On the table lay another tablet and the seven Millennium items. The boy led him over to the table.
"This is 'Immortal Soul'. It's the source of power of this whole ritual; the most important thing. It would be deadly in the wrong hands – or really should I say immortal?" The blonde explained.
"Wow..." Was all that Yami said, unsure what else to say. Somehow, this seemed familiar.
"I wonder which Millennium item I'll get?" The boy said to himself.
"I bet you'll get one of the best ones, Jahi." Yami replied, not knowing how he knew the blonde's name.
"YAMI!" Yugi yelped from downstairs. Yami bolted awake.
"TRISTAN'S TRYING TO EAT THE COUCH!" Yami rolled his eyes and rushed downstairs to Yugi's side. There was Tristan sitting on the floor, trying to get a piece of the armrest into his mouth.
"That won't work! USE A FORK!" Grandpa handed Tristan a salad fork. "USE THE FORK POWER!"
"MAY THE FORK BE WITH YOU!" Joey punched his fist into the air and yelled.
"Yugi...you didn't give them caffeine did you?" Yami said, looking at the mess in the living room.
"Where did that inflatable elephant in the tutu come from?" He asked but then decided he didn't want to know. "Actually I don't want to know." Yami finished.
"Well, I didn't exactly give them caffeine... they kind of just took it..." Yugi mumbled as an excuse.
"Yugi, you need to get new friends. Ones that don't get hyper and eat couches, ones that do normal things like send boxes of fan mail to the shadow realm." Yami said.
"But I've got one like that...you." Yugi rebutted before he jumped onto the couch and decided to join in on the feeding frenzy.
"What pizza does everyone like?" Yami asked tiredly, knowing this would get them away from his beloved couch.
"Hey! I'm married!" The couch objected.
"Do you want them to eat you?" Yami asked the couch as Tea began whacking the couch with the inflatable elephant.
"HELP!" The couch screeched.
"Did anyone hear that?" Joey asked. "AHHH I'm hearing voices!"
"PIZZA!" Yami shouted, getting everyone's attention. "Okay, now I have your attention, ALL OF YOU LEAVE APART FROM YUGI AND GRANDPA!" Grumbling, everyone apart from Yugi and Grandpa left.
"Finally..." Yami said to himself.
- Later That Night -
It was dark and a full moon lit the sky. Yami and Yugi were in there room. Yami was in a light sleep, kind of suspicious about falling fully asleep because of that weird dream. Yugi, on the other hand, was snoring loudly. Yami's ear twitched suddenly, as a squeak came from the floor boards. Then rushed movements were heard, making Yami jump to the floor - he was on the top of the bunk bed.
Unfortunately, he was a little late as the thief had just jumped out the window. Walking over to the window Yami noticed that where the Millennium Necklace was supposed to be, there was a dog tag on a chain instead. Yami picked it up. Yugi woke up, noticing that Yami was out of bed.
"What's wrong?" Yugi asked, half-asleep.
"He came and took the necklace..."
"Who?" Yugi asked intently.
"The question is not who Yugi, but why?" Yami stared out the window, deep in thought.
- End Chapter 6 -
Well, the next chapter, you find out whom the thief is and if your own guess was correct. Please send us your reviews with who you think it is. To help you we will give you a list of suspects.
- Suspect list that was found on Bert the butler's desk -
Yugi – The midget who has tri-coloured hair, purple eyes, and is bordering on insanity.
Yami – The Sherlock Holmes of this story. Looks like Yugi, but is not a midget. (I still can't believe that people don't notice this!) He was the one who said "A mask can hide a lot more than just your identity."
Tristan – His hair is one giant spike – kinda like a giant dagger – and has brown eyes. He is obsessed with Serenity. He has a weird thing about couches and a pet fish named Squishy who died. Has a very short attention span.
Joey – The typical blonde (there is only air between his ears) with brown eyes, not honey, and is usually hungry and is obsesses with matches. He is over protective about his cheese puffs!
Tea – Friendship speeches are this brunette's speciality, but luckily for us she didn't give us any speeches in this story! Her blue eyes remind people of the ocean and she likes Duke.
Duke – This black haired dude with green eyes is deathly afraid of Tea – though you really don't notice it that much but he is!
Serenity – She's not even in this story but who knows? She has red hair and magenta (in other words we can't remember) eyes.
Marik – The one who cried. Also he has deadly violet eyes and blonde hair but this is not important. What is important is that he cried so we can now all laugh at him.
Kaiba – He cried too. He has blue eyes and brown hair. Again, we can all laugh at him.
Grandpa – He gave Tristan a fork when he tried to eat the couch. Also Yugi said that he just came back from the loony bin. So far we aren't sure if this is true, but we assume it is. This elderly chap has white hair and most likely purple eyes.
The thief – Most likely the guilty one, and one of those people above.
The murderer – Opps, wrong list...also the wrong story. Now where did my other list disappear to?
