Chappie Five: I Will Survive

Bakura's POV



I can't believe this is happening to me. Bakura thought angrily as he glanced over at his date. Kibou had set Ryou up on a date, and somehow that had transferred into him getting dragged along on said date. It wasn't the girl that bothered him. She was some really, really nice, ditzy blonde, who was semi-cute, and semi-annoying, but still, he was able to deal with her.

The thing that bothered him, though, was that this was a double date. Damn Kibou. Damn her to hell. That bitch had to of known who the other couple was. Had to have known.

The other couple was none other than Yami and Anzu. Of course, Anzu was oblivious as to whether or not it was Yugi or Yami. The kid grew a couple of inches, and he got a deeper voice and started sporting chains, basically he went through puberty, and yet Anzu had no idea.

It was a well known fact that Yami and Bakura despised each other, for obvious reasons. Bakura robbed Yami's grave, Yami trapped Bakura inside a necklace for a couple eons, small stuff between two ancient Egyptians. The usual. Bakura looked about as happy as a dog who'd just been informed he was going to be neutered.

Yami's POV

This is somehow all HIS fault. Yami thought irritably, glaring at Bakura. The two were sitting in the Target food court area, with their dates. Bakura was with some random girl, ditzy, and blonde, and very nice, and somewhat pretty. She wasn't at all as irritable as his date.

It was a common known fact that Yami despised Anzu with the utmost passion. He wanted to rip apart her mind, on the good days. Today, however, was not a good day. So instead of wanting to rip apart her mind, he was thinking about ripping apart his mind.

Yugi had been complaining about how the two never got along enough, and Kibou chimed in that Ryou was still feeling rather upset, and she thought that it would be good to get him a girlfriend. So the two conspired together and set Yami and Ryou up on a double date with Anzu and some random girl Kibou had met in school. He thought her name might've been Devonne, maybe. But somehow during the shuffle, Bakura had ended up being on the date. So now here they were. Glaring at each other, with their arms angrily wrapped around their dates, wishing the night would end.

Unfortunately, it'd only just begun.

"So uh…what do you guys want to do?" Anzu asked, smiling. "

Oh, I don't care all that much." Bakura said, trying to fake a British accent, with little success. Anzu just cocked her head stupidly and laughed.

"What about you, Yugi?" She asked.

"Oh, I don't know. You pick." He said, through clenched teeth.

"Oh, I don't know…"

"We could go to a karaoke bar!"

"That's such a good idea, Devonne!" Anzu said happily. Bakura and Yami both stifled groans.

"Let's get supper, first, though." Yami said, willing himself to smile and unclench his teeth. "While we're still at the food court, and all."

"Yeah, let us do that." Bakura said, catching on to his plan that the karaoke bar might be closed by the time they finished eating.

Bakura's POV

So maybe the King of Games had some good ideas up his sleeve. If they spent long enough eating, the local karaoke bar just might be closed by the time they reached it. He hoped for the best, anyway. He asked his date, Devonne was her name, he thought, what she wanted, as did Yami, and they both went up to order, taking out their wallets.

"Good idea." He muttered.

"Thanks." Yami said, through clenched teeth.

"You might want to unclench your teeth."

"You might want to shove something up your ass." Yami muttered, stepping in front of him to order a rather large order for Anzu, and just some breadsticks and a large icee for himself. After paying his twenty five bucks, he grabbed the cup and walked over to the icee machine.

By the time Bakura was done ordering his date's food and a large icee for himself as well, he walked over to the machine. Yami was still standing here, staring at it. "What are you doing, you mor-" Bakura stopped, staring at the icee machine.

It was quite obviously dirty, even without looking on the inside. It was brown, black, red, all the colors of the rainbow…like ducks with all the pretty colors, and if you stare at them long enough, they're not just brown. Bakura shuddered.

"You gonna drink that?" Yami asked the tomb robber, looking at it with immense disgust.

Wanting to upstage the King of Games, he shoved him out of the way and made himself a Cherry Icee. "I paid a whole buck twenty five for this. Of course I'm drinking it. What are you, some kind of pussy?"

"No," Yami muttered, not wanting to be upstaged by a robbing bastard, and made himself an icee as well. The two wandered back to their dates to wait for their food.

--Later--

Yami's POV

"Kuso." Yami muttered. They were now at the karaoke club, and it was not, in fact closed. However, he was sufficiently intoxicated. Didn't know how he'd managed that, drinking Icee from Target.

Perhaps it was just because the machine was funny colors. He shrugged and followed Anzu, Bakura, and Devonne into the bar, thinking that this was going to be an interesting night.

--Skippy Skippy--

Ah, how right he was. There was Bakura, up on stage, with a microphone in his hand. He'd decided that he was going to do some karaoke, or, as the tomb robber had put it, "Grace them all with my beautiful voice."

Yami had muttered something incoherent to this, so no one had been able to slap him. Anzu and Devonne were sitting eagerly, right up against the stage, staring at the screen to see what song Bakura was going to sing.

"I Will Survive?" Yami sputtered, spraying his Mountain Dew all over the place and laughing hysterically. Anzu chuckled.

"Go up there and sing with him, Yug! It's one of your favorites, remember?" She said, smiling and shoving the drunken Yami onstage to accompany the even drunker Bakura. A microphone was shoved into his hand, and the music began. The owner of the club dimmed the lights and put up a disco ball, and Anzu and Devonne cheered.

"At first I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking I could never live without you by my side, but then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong, and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along!"

Damn, he did have a good voice, Yami thought angrily.

Bakura was singing with enthusiasm, and he was dancing to it. He started doing some disco moves to the next part, and sang with full force. "And now you're back, from outer space!"

He turned and look at Yami, now singing to him. "I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face! I should've changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave the key, if I had known for just once second that you'd be back to bother me!"

He pointed to the door, and started dancing even more. "Now go! Go walk out the door! Just turn around now!" He turned his back to him. "'Cause you're not welcome anymore!" He turned back, and clutched his chest dramatically.

"Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?!" He dropped to his knees, and then stood up, angrily.

"Oh no, not I!" He slammed his fist against his chest. "I will survive! Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive! I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give! I will survive! I will survive! Hey, hey!" He started dancing even more, and Anzu and Devonne continued cheering.

"Sing, Yugi! Sing!" Anzu shouted.

He shrugged, and looked at the screen, waiting for his timing.

Bakura's POV

"Sing, Yugi! Sing!"

Well, now it was his turn to show is stuff.

He waited for his timing, and then he struck a pose, glaring at Bakura, and pointing angrily. "It took all the strength I had, not to fall apart!" He clutched his chest.

Damn, that kid had no talent whatsoever, but he was enthusiastic enough.

"Kept trying to mend the pieces of my broken heart! And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself! I used to cry! But now I hold my head up high!"

He jutted his chin out absurdly and started doing disco moves. "And you see me! Somebody new! I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you!" He threw off one of his chains at the appropriate line. "And so you felt like dropping in, and just expect me to be free! And now I'm saving all my loving, for someone who's loving me!"

He pointed to the door, and started shaking his hips. "Now go! Walk out the door! Just turn around now, 'Cause you're not welcome anymore! Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die!?"

With this, he threw himself onto the floor, but used his own force to throw himself back up and do a back flip, landing next to Bakura and jabbing his finger into his chest.

"Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I will stay alive! I've got all my life to live! I've got all my love to give! I will survive! I will survive! HEY HEY!" He shouted, and then a nice musical interlude came on, where the two of them danced quite eloquently, jabbing fingers and shaking hips, and then they sang the chorus together one more time before the end.

As they walked off stage, Yami muttered, "We speak of this to no one."

"Can do." He replied.

)(Well, there you have it. Thank Dragon's Eye for that, it was all her idea. XD Review please!)(
