A/N Disclaimer, Bunny is mine, but you can have her. Sigh. However I still don't own the rest. sigh. Well, except Kiri.
I am hoping to have this story typed in and uploaded by the end of this weekend if not by tonight. That way I can move on to my next story without guilt.
Chapter 9
Bunny bounced up to Yami and hugged him. Kiri looked annoyed. Yami looked resigned. "Oh, Yugi, are we going to play this boring game again," she whined. "Bunny wants to go shopping or to the movie." She suddenly clapped her hands and giggled, "Yugi can take Bunny shopping and buy Bunny new shoes."
Kaiba pulled his first card and laid it on the table. "Summon Masaki, the Legendary Swordsman." Kiri stomped over and held out her hand to him. "Book, Please!" she snapped. Kaiba handed over her spellbook with a sardonic smile. She started turning the pages as she took a few steps away. "Idiot" she mumbled. Kaiba's mouth tilted slightly up in a disturbing parady of a slight smile. Kiri raised her hand, chanting softly as she cast her first spell. Masaki shimmered onto the field in front of Kaiba; sword raised and pointed at Yami. Kaiba placed two cards face down. "Two cards covered, turn ended." His voice was clipped and his face unreadable. Kiri sneaked a peak at him and wondered if he was always like that when he played. 'Maybe the fact that he looks so intimidating helps unnerve his opponnent. Well, he doesn't frighten me,' she thought to herself and laughed. 'At least I can be defiant and laugh at him in my head' she mentally stuck her tongue out at him.
Kiri held her spell with one hand and waited. She absently stared at her book; randomly turning pages and reading spells. "You had better catch me when I fall." She turned and pointed her finger at Muki. "You had better not let that lecherous toad-eater anywhere near me." Kaiba didn't even adknowledge her, just kept his eyes on Yami and his companion. Only a brief flicker of his eyes towards her, told her that he had heard her.
"Hey" Muke yipped. " I don't eat toads, frogs maybe, but no toads. I am a sophisticated dragon." He stuck his nose up in the air.
"Even 'sophisticated dragons' can be slimeballs. In your case, even the slime disowned you." Kiri retorted.
"I will have you know I come from a proud breed." Muki puffed his chest out.
"You must have been found on the doorstep then, kind of like a cuckoo chick."
Muki sputtered and turned his back on her, sticking his nose farther in the air. Kiri kissed her finger and drew a one in the air.
On the other platform, Yami focused on his cards trying to ignore Bunny's heavy sighs and dejected looks. "Summon Pitch Dark Dragon." Bunny sighed and pouted. "Okay, but only if you promise to take Bunny to a movie afterwards." She batted her eyes at him. Yami scowled, then suddenly smiled brightly at her. He bent over and whispered in her ear. Bunny squeeled in delight and grabbed her book. She called up the dragon and by sheer exuberance, Kuriboh.
"Kuriboh" Yami questioned. He blinked confused at the card that had flown from his deck and into the arena. "Kuri" Kuriboh shrugged his shoulders in confusion as well. They both looked at Bunny, who was bouncing and talking again. Hanging his head in despair, Yami laid one card face down. "Cover one card, turn ended."
Kiri looked at Yami with suspicion, "what did you promise her?"
