Umm…yea, it's been about two months since I've updated this story. It's because I've been so busy with A New Light and The Evil One…but oh well.* shrugs * Cant always get what we want, now can we? Just letting you know…Malik's a little OOC in this chapter…but nothing drastic…in fact…I could definitely see him doing something like this (but hey, that's just me)…anyhoo…enjoy!
~ The Long Road to Revenge ~
The first step on Bakura's road to revenge started early the next morning. Which was extremely hard for him because he wasn't a morning person. But he wanted to get out of the house before either of the two had a chance to wake up and shock him. Walking into the kitchen he glanced at the clock on the microwave. It was only 6:45. Before he left though, he decided to fix himself another piece of toast but then he remembered that he smashed the toaster the other day.
"Dammit, why do things never go my way?" He grumbled, biting off a piece of plain white bread. He liked toast, and he wasn't going to let a little thing like that stop him. So he decided that he was going to buy another one today. There was only one problem…he had absolutely no money.
'Heh heh…' Bakura smiled as he shoved the last piece of bread in his mouth. Things like that were easily solved. Making sure to be totally quiet, he tiptoed up stairs and made his way to Ryou's room.
* * *
"Morning," Malik whispered in Ryou's ear. "It's almost 8 o'clock."
Ryou simply groaned as he turned around and shoved the pillow over his head.
"Time to get up." Malik said, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy. Seeing that nothing was going to wake him up, Malik scowled. "I'm going to go have sex with Bakura."
"Mmm…" Ryou mumbled from under the pillow.
Malik frowned. "Bakura's outside dancing naked in front of the next door neighbor's children again."
"Oh shit!" Ryou shot up in the bed so fast that he almost knocked Malik off. Malik couldn't help but laugh at the expression on Ryou's face. His hair was all messed up and covering one eye, but the other eye was wide with shock, until Ryou realized that Malik was only kidding. Then he simply pouted and flopped back down on the bed, intent on getting at least another half-hour of sleep. But Malik had other plans.
"I said get up!" He said, before pouncing on Ryou.
"Ok…ok…" Ryou mumbled, with the wind knocked out of him. "Gods…cant you just set the alarm clock?" He got off the bed and made his way to the bathroom to take a shower.
"It's much more fun this way." He chuckled to himself.
Ryou only grumbled as he shut the bathroom door behind him.
Malik sighed as he flopped back down on the bed. This was definitely going to be a better day than yesterday. No Bakura, and no marriage counselor. They were going to go out to a fancy restaurant in downtown Tokyo. They had been planning this night for weeks, and Malik wasn't going to let someone like Bakura ruin it for them. In fact, if Bakura came anywhere near them today he was going to receive quite a nasty shock, and perhaps a good ol' kick in the ass.
Yup, today was going to be a good one. Malik started to dose off again just thinking about it when suddenly a loud scream from the bathroom made him shoot up in the bed.
"AAAH!!!"
He made his way across the hallway and opened the bathroom door to find Ryou standing there in a towel, dripping wet with steam rising off of his body.
"Ryou, it's too early to turn me on…do this again after dinner and then I'll go crazy, but I'm still tired." Malik groaned, disappointed that a scene like this was totally wasted on him this morning.
"No!" Ryou squealed. "Look!" He held out his hand allowing Malik to examine it. At first glance everything seemed normal, but upon further investigation, Malik realized that something was missing.
"My ring!! My engagement ring is missing!!" Ryou was on the verge of tears.
Malik also became slightly frustrated.
"Did you take it off anywhere?" He asked, feeling a busting headache coming on. 'Why today?' He moaned mentally.
"No…t-the last time I remembered seeing it was last night…then I got into the shower and I noticed it was missi…"
Both turned their attention to the drain at the bottom of the shower.
"I'll go get the tool box." Malik said monotonously. Maybe this wasn't going to be his day after all.

Bakura whistled to himself as he walked along the sidewalk making his way to downtown Tokyo to do some pawning. This was the best way for him to make money (at least it was the best legal way that he could think of anyway). Smirking to himself with a rather high amount of self satisfaction, Bakura walked down the side street that lead to his favorite pawn shop in all of Tokyo. Busters, You Have It; We'll Steal It From You PawnShop…it reminded him of the good ol' days when he used to do a lot of stealing from random Pharaohs' tombs.
Stepping in the door, he was immediately greeted by the one person in his life that he could almost stand. Sid.
Sid owned the pawnshop (and that often made Bakura wonder why it was called Busters) and he knew Bakura well, for Bakura was a frequent customer.
"Hey Bakura!" Sid said, welcoming the old tomb robber. "Watcha got for me today?" He paused as he looked at the little black choker on Bakura's neck
Bakura, quick to take Sid's attention off of his shock collar immediately held out his hand, and in his palm was a little gold ring. "This is it today. But I don't want money for it."
Sid picked up the ring with his pointer finger and his thumb. "What did you have in mind?" He asked, bringing it closer to his eyes.
"A toaster."
"A what?!?" Sid exclaimed.
"You heard me." Bakura growled, becoming impatient.
Sid took the ring over to the counter, followed closely by Bakura. He took his little jewelry examiner out from under the counter and looked at the ring through it.
After about a minute of tense silence Bakura had to say something.
"Well!?"
"Bakura, I wouldn't even give you 100 yen for this."
"What!?!" Bakura slammed his hands down on the counter and peered over at Sid, who had a sheepish look on his face due to the fact that Bakura looked like he could kill him.
"Run that by me again." Bakura spoke menacingly.
"I-if you don't believe me…t-there's a Zales right down the street…have them examine it for you…b-but it doesn't even look like real gold to me." He said warily.
Bakura grabbed onto Sid's shirt collar. "If I find out you're lying to me…" He threatened.
Sid merely squeaked like a mouse in response.
Bakura let go of him, snatched the ring off the counter and made his way out the door…just great…he only wanted toast…and now he probably wasn't even going to get it.

Ryou sat anxiously on the edge of the bed, towel wrapped around his waist, while Malik was in the bathroom trying to plunge out the shower drain. His head was hurting like mad and he definitely felt as if his day was ruined. Almost nothing could brighten it now.
However, after his long moment of silence, a noise reached his ear, and it sounded oddly like…singing?!?
Quietly he snuck across the hallway, the sound, getting increasingly louder, and the tune was familiar.
He peered around the bathroom door to find Malik bent over the shower drain.
"It's raining men…praise Ra, it's raining men…la la la…it's raining men…praise Ra it's…AHH!" Malik yelped as he felt a wet towel whip him in the ass. Turning around he found Ryou doubled over with laughter.
"I couldn't resist!" He chuckled, trying to catch his breath.
Malik blushed slightly; he was rather embarrassed that Ryou caught him singing his second favorite song…but oh well.
"You're gunna pay for that." He sneered wickedly.
"Oh really?" Ryou raised an eyebrow. He was standing in the doorway, still wrapped up in a towel. Malik took full advantage of this. He put his tools down and reached over, ripping the towel off of Ryou's body, leaving the little white haired boy standing there, stark naked with his mouth hanging wide open.
"Malik!!" Ryou bounded across the hallway, and Malik followed, staring at Ryou's cute little butt the whole way…it was a little bit later in the day…and unlike this morning…seeing Ryou naked had a whole different effect.
Ryou ran for the bed and grabbed the sheets, trying to cover himself. Malik closed and locked the bedroom door…finding the ring could wait. There was no way that Ryou was going to escape him this time.
"Malik that was totally wrong!!" He shouted.
"I know…but when have I ever done anything that was right?" He sneered, coming closer to Ryou.
"Yea, I guess you got a point." A small smile spread across Ryou's face as Malik's hands crept their way around his waist. Malik pushed the smaller boy down on the bed and slowly climbed on top of him.
"You know…there's nothing between me and you except that sheet."
"I know…"
