Tamara Raymond: ^-^ Yep, it was Flaed. No one else got it. No one even mentioned it. Maybe Flaed herself would have mentioned it, but she hasn't reviewed. For two whole chapters. *cough*FLAED*cough*REVIEW*cough* ^^;;;
DMCat15: Ummm……I'll see what I can do, but no guarantees. And I cannot turn him into an animal. Sorry. ^^;;; But I will promise you that he will get something. Everyone shall have some bashing……Well, not exactly bashing but more like 'bad luck'. *looks at what she already has written down and cackles evilly* I can't wait until the other chapters are put up! I'm like a reviewer of my own story!

Last time:
"Oh pharaoh, I need your help! I can't take it anymore!" Yami Bakura unlatched himself from Yami's leg and looked up towards the tri-haired male with a pained expression. "I'm about to lose the rest of my mind! Please, please help me!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!!" He clamped his hands together in a pleading form, and continued begging the former pharaoh.
'What on Earth could be so bad to cause Yami Bakura to act this way?!?!?' Everyone wondered.

Chapter 7: You sadist!
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
INCASE YOU FORGOT, MALIK IS THE HIKARI, AND MARIK IS THE YAMI.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
All eyes were on Yami Bakura. He could even feel their glances at him, it felt like a strange feeling that sent shivers up his spine—oh wait, that's because he's sitting on his own foot and crushing it. The current resident of the millennium ring got up off the floor (and off of his foot) and pointed a shaky finger towards the door. The group looked where he was pointing with confused looks on their faces. But the confused looks didn't last long and were replaced with softer looks. What they were really expecting was some sort of a monster or something, not the curious face of Bakura peeking in through the doorway.
"Him!" Yami Bakura practically shouted, practically pulling out his hair. "It is him that is driving me nuts!" Everyone looked back at the curious Bakura, then back to the insane tomb robber who would be bald in a few minutes if he didn't stop pulling at his hair.
"What," Joey asked, "Is your problem with Bakura?"
"I have to take care of him!" Yami Bakura spat. "He can't do anything on his own! And all those questions of his! They never stop! Question after question after question after QUESTION!!!!" He looked about ready to snap in half.
"I don't see anything wrong with him other than the fact that he looks extra shy today." Teá said. But that was before they actually got a good look at all of him, not just his head. Yami Bakura just sighed.
"Aibou, get in here, you moron." he said, with his back towards the door. Bakura, happy to finally be invited in, even with a rather rude invitation, walked into the room and headed over to the group. He recognized Yugi, Yami, Tristan, and Joey and smiled at them.
"Hi!" He said.
"………" Was all they could say. Teá and Mai promptly looked at the ground. Yami Bakura was confused with their actions. Bakura hadn't even done anything yet.
"What?" He questioned, not even looking at Bakura.
"Ummm……Tomb robber?" Yami started. "Where exactly are his pants???" All around them, the students walking into the room, and those who were already there, pointed and snickered at the pants-less Bakura, who didn't have any clue on what was going on. Some of the girls giggled and commented on his 'cute' plaid boxers. One girl in particular turned several shades of pink and turned to face the wall. Yami Bakura swore.
"I knew I forgot something!" He said as he whacked his head before turning towards Yami again. "Please pharaoh! I need help! I would not be acting this way ever if it wasn't a dyer situation! PLEASE agree to help!" Yami Bakura was looking so pitiful at the moment, that Yami couldn't do anything else but agree. He nodded. Yami Bakura sighed a big sigh of relief. He seemed to come back from Helpless-Land and back into reality, therefore putting back on his 'I-hate-everything-and-everyone and only care about myself' face.
As both Mai and Teá, who wouldn't look below his waist, were introduced to the memory-lacking Bakura, a new figure stepped into the doorway. (I'll let you have 3 guesses! ^^)
It was a guy. (Darn! And I thought it was going to be Serenity!)
He didn't have glasses. (Guess it can't be Weevil.)
And he was wearing the school blue uniform. (That really narrows down the choices…)
It was none other than……………………………………Malik Ishtar! (High-fives to those who got it right! ^^)
"Hey!" Malik said, rather loudly, causing everyone to flinch a little. He walked over to the group, and they noticed that he had a note pinned to his jacket. On the top of the note read the words 'Argent! Please read!' in the familiar handwritten of Ishizu Ishtar. The note read:
'Due to an accident over the weekend, my brother Malik has recently lost his hearing. He does not know that he his talking loud because of it. I have foreseen that Malik shall encounter numerous problems within the time that he does not posses his hearing ability so please try to help my brother. I also have foreseen all of your recent 'bad luck' and I wish you well.
Signed,
Ishizu Ishtar'
"So you can't hear anythin'?" Joey asked Malik, but of course he could not hear Joey, thus making Joey's question stupid and pointless. Joey soon realized this when Malik did not reply.
"Just to tell you, I lost my hearing over the weekend so I can't hear you guys." Malik stated, still in a rather loud voice, as he unpinned the letter off his uniform and handed it to the others. "Ishizu wrote this and told me to give it to you." He then took a moment to look around a bit more. "Why are Tristan and Joey in casts? Why is Teá wearing braces? Why does Bakura have no pants? Why does Yugi have pink glasses on? Why is Mai's nose all red? And why does Yami Bakura look like he's going insane—Oh wait, that's normal."
Everyone sweatdropped at this, except for Yami Bakura who just scowled, and Bakura who didn't understand any of it. Malik looked at them with another confused look, demanding that they explain. Teá pulled out several sheets of paper and passed them out so each member of the group could explain their situation to Malik. As soon as this was done, Yami wrote something new and held it up for everyone, especially Malik, to read.
'How did you lose your hearing and what does Ishizu mean by 'an accident'??'
Malik looked at the note and took a second or two to think.
"Well………………"
//////////Flashback//////////
"Do it! Do it! Do it!" Marik chanted as Malik struck a match. Malik smirked and brought the lighted match closer to the fuse. Just inches away. Now about only an inch. Now centimeters. Closer……………Closer……………Closer……………Almost there…………………Now honestly do you think I would let him get any closer without an interruption of some sort? If you said yes, then you honestly don't know me. -_-0
"MALIK!!! MARIK!!! WHAT IN THE NAME OF RA ARE YOU TWO DOING?!?!?!?" Malik, dropping the match which instantly went out when it hit the paved driveway, looked up at his irritated sister, who was tapping her foot impatiently waiting for an explanation. Marik, with a smug look on his face, looked up at the peeved Ishizu.
"Why Ishizu, we two are doing nothing wrong. Why are you so displeased?" Marik asked smugly, his sentences dripping with fake innocence. Ishizu looked at him with a very sour look.
"NOTHING WRONG?!?!?!? NOTHING WRONG?!?!? YOU TWO ARE PLAYING WITH A DANGEROUS FIRECRACKER THAT COULD GET MY BROTHER KILLED!!!!" Ishizu practically screamed.
"Awww Ishizu! I didn't know you cared!" Malik said sarcastically, with the best angelic face he could muster. Ishizu ignored him, still looking at Marik.
"Why are you here?" She demanded.
"Why do you care?" Marik replied casually. This was obviously not the answer Ishizu was looking for.
"Why are you here instead of your boarding school in Europe?!?!?!?"
"Oh, that. I got expelled. Now come on Malik let's-"
"AGAIN?!?!?!?!? YOU GOT EXPELLED AGAIN?!?!?!? THAT'S THE 37th SCHOOL IN THE LAST 7 MONTHS!!!" Ishizu shrieked, throwing her hands up in the air. "Marik, I send you to those schools to help you, and in return for my kindness, you expel yourself! Repeatedly!"
"Well if they didn't have such strict rules and junk, and let me do as I pleased, I would still be in school. But noooo! They have the most moronic rules! 'Go to class on time' 'Wake-up at 7 and no later' 'No weapons' 'Do not steal undergarments from the girls' 'No burning things'. One of the schools expelled me just for laughing!!!"
"That was because you threw a teacher out a 4 story window and then laughed, you buffoon!" Malik said, before adding under his breath so only Marik could hear, "Next time make it 7 stories high and throw my math teacher out." Both chuckled on the inside a bit. Ishizu was still not pleased.
"I want you to get rid of that thing," she gestured to the 2 ½ foot tall firecracker that was on a launcher ready to launch. "this instant! If it is not gone by the time I go retrieve the paper from the end of the driveway, I will personally see to it that both of your futures become grim and painful." The millennium necklace shimmered, though the two trouble-makers didn't know whether it was from the sun gleaming on it, or Ishizu using its power. Ishizu headed down the long, long, long driveway to get the paper. Both platinum blonde boys stared at her departing silhouette before staring amongst themselves.
"It doesn't seem like Ishizu's brain has awaken yet. Her sentences are full of loopholes and definitely not specific at all." Marik stated. Malik nodded in agreement before both boys turned their sights on the firecracker, their lips curving up into grins.
"She did say to get rid of it, and she never said how." Malik struck another match, his grin getting larger.
"I wonder what amusing 'school' your sister will send me to next." Marik mused, gazing at the small flame.
"I bet you that this time you couldn't go two days without getting in trouble in school."
"Heh, last time you bet me I couldn't do one day, which I did no sweat, so another pathetic day makes no difference to me."
"Same stakes?"
"No, this time if I win you have to eat dog food."
"Hey no fair! I'm a vegetarian! I don't eat meat!" Marik smirked.
"I know."
"You sadist!"
"I know I am, but so are you."
"Fine, but only if you…………" Malik took out a piece of paper and wrote something down and passed it to Marik who looked at it with a face of disgust.
"…………………………You are the true sadist."
Malik did a fake mock bow. "Thank-you, thank-you."
"Aww shut up and just like the darn thing before your sister comes back!"
****Meanwhile, at the end of the driveway****
Panting, Ishizu reached down for the paper.
"I still haven't the slightest clue why we bought this awful house with its overly long driveway in the first place!"
****Back to the duo of doom****
Malik struck a third match, (the one he lit before had gone out) and brought it close to the fuse until he lit it. They both watched as the fuse slowly incinerated towards the firecracker, and it was only then that they noticed a small problem with their plan.
"Marik, why is the firecracker glued onto its launcher?!?!?!?"
"I don't know. Maybe to keep it from falling off?"
"You idiot! It's going to explode!"
"Well then, nice knowing you light." With that, Marik retreated to his soul room, leaving a speechless Malik behind.
"Oh Ra……" He said as he watched the red spark on the fuse reached its destination.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
//////////End of Flashback//////////
"So then the thing explodes, and punctures my eardrum a bit. It didn't do much else other than that and singed my hair a bit, that lousy weak firecracker! I spent 5 months allowance on it, and it didn't do much destruction at all!"
'You should be glad that it didn't do any more harm than it did to you though' Tea wrote on her paper.
"Yeah, but still! I am very disappointed in the guy who sold it to me. Their firecrackers used to be top quality and cheap! Now I'll have to find another place that sells dangerous explosives at a cheap price. I can't have any more wimpy pyrotechnics, now can I?" Everyone, except the thief and Amnesia Boy, all had looks that clearly said 'you're insane and a pyro'. Yami Bakura, on the other hand, had a look that said 'see me later, I know of many places that will quench your thirst'. Malik grinned at this, and before he knew it, he had another piece of loose leaf paper forced into his face. This time it read:
'What happened to Marik?'
"Oh Marik?" Malik pondered. "Ishizu sent him away to another boarding school in Europe. I think this time it's in Spain."
"Poor Spain." Joey said, and the other agreed.
"I wonder what he's doing now….."
******Madrid, Spain******
It was midnight at the local farm. All the animals slept peacefully, including the cows. Like always, they were sleeping standing up. A mysterious figure moved about the farm in the shadows. No one knew it was there, nor did they know its purpose. The figure slowly creped up towards the field where the cows were. Slowly but surely, the figure made its way towards one of the cows. It extended parts of itself, which can be identified as arms, towards the sleeping cow until its hands rested on the cows side. The cow did not wake up or make any noise that could signal that it could wake at any moment. Quickly in one swift movement, the figure shoved the cow.
"MOOOOOOO!!" The cow fell over and waved its legs helplessly in the air. The figure who was preparing for another attack, spoke.
"Malik said I couldn't cause mischief in school. He never said anything about outside of school. Thank Ra for loopholes."
******Back******
BRRRIIIIIIIINNGG!!
"Ack! The bell! We better get into our seats!" Yugi exclaimed, heading towards his desk, the others doing the same. But as Yugi reached his seat, someone cut him off, causing him to stumble backwards and fall down.
"'Ey!" Joey furiously yelled at the person, while Tea and Yami helped Yugi up. "Watch were yer goin' you moron!" At this, the person turned and faced him.
It was the one.
The only.
Seto Kaiba.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Dun, dun, dun!!! What's going to happen to Joey? What is Kaiba going to say to Joey regarding Joey's plastered foot? How will Joey take the verbal taunting?!? Tune in next time to find out!
By the way, I'm sorry about the wait. I just could not get through my writing block. But hopefully I have broken it. I really hope that I can get the next chapter up before my birthday which is soon so you don't have to wait long. I'm going to start the next chapter ASAP! Please forgive me and if you do, please leave me a nice little review.
