Shayken_Destiny: I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything for such a long time! 

Y. Bakura: Sure you are . ..

Shayken_Destiny: (glares at Y. Bakura.)  I've been so busy I haven't had time to write.  But this week will be better, so I'll try and update more often.  (Y. Bakura is laughing in background) I can hear you, you know!!!!!!!  Since you find this so funny, YOU can do the disclaimer!

Y. Bakura: Shayken_Destiny does not own Yu-gi-oh! or "Poker", but she is the proud owner of the game "Pooker" (walks away, muttering: "Pooker" is such a stupid game . . .)

Shayken_Destiny:  I'll make you pay for that later . . . Muhahahaha!

Chapter 2: Never Forget Rules

Marik, Yugi, and Ryou had gone less than five steps from the door when Marik slapped himself on the head and turned around.

Yugi: What is it?

Marik: I forgot to tell the yamis three very important rules.

Ryou: Such as? . . .

Marik: (opens door) Ok, one more thi-  O_O

Yugi and Ryou: O.O -.- O.O

All of the yamis are in authentic Egyptian garb, complete with gold accessories.  They have also gotten hold of some face paint.  Y. Bakura is chanting and dancing around Y. Marik, who is on an altar with fireworks on it.  Yami is preparing the chemicals to set them off, but keeps making small explosions when he mixes the wrong doses.  The faucet in the kitchen is on, and is currently flooding the house.  The yamis notice their hikaris standing in the doorway.

Yami: (looks up from mixing chemicals) Oh, hi Yugi!  Back so soon?  Want to help us complete the ceremony?

Yugi: YAMI WHAT IN THE NAME OF RA ARE YOU DOING??????!!!!!!!!

Yami: Sacrificing Y. Marik to the Egyptian gods, of course.

Yugi: O_O

Marik: You idiots!  Yami, leave those chemicals alone!  Y. Marik, get off that altar right now, and Y. Bakura, stop that chanting before you drive me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(All yamis obey and sit obediently in front of Marik.)

Marik: That's better.  Now, I have a few more rules for you before we go.

            Rule #11. Do not flood the house.

            Rule #12. Never touch and/or mix chemicals, both known or unknown.

            Rule #13. All explosive devices are off limits.

            Rule #14. No sacrifices and/or rituals.  Whatsoever.

            Rule #15. Please, please, PLEASE behave!!!!!!!!

Satisfied at last, the hikaris leave.  The yamis look at each other.

Yami: What do we do now?

Y. Bakura: (is rooting around in drawer) Hey!  Look at this!

Y. Marik: (runs over) Is it treasure?  Another Millennium item?  A weapon for world domination?!

Yami: (looks in drawer) I know what this is!  Yugi showed them to me once!

Y. Bakura and Y. Marik:  Well?!  What are they??!!!

Yami: CARDS!  ^_^

Y. Bakura: They don't LOOK like Duel Monster Cards . . .

Yami: They aren't.  They're different.  They're just called cards.  Sometimes playing cards.

Y. Marik.  What do we do with them?

Yami:  Yugi taught me how to play a game with them.  It's called "Pooker"

Y. Marik and Y. Bakura:  "Pooker?!"

Yami: Yeah!  Or, something like that . . .

Y. Bakura:  Let's play already!!!!!!!!!!

The yamis go to the table, and prepare to play "Pooker" (also known in most countries as "Poker").  Now if only Yami could remember how to play . . .

Alright, so that's chapter 2.  What did you think?  I know it's a little short, but I've got bigger plans for the next chapter.  Coming soon: The Rules of "Pooker!" (according to Yami, anyway).
