"Are you sure he's alright?" Mina asked Yugi for the fifteenth time that evening. Yugi nodded, not even bothering to answer anymore.
"Positively sure?"
"Yes."
"Really, really?"
"Yes, I'm tired. Please leave me alone."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uni sat in her room quietly, admiring her boomerang as always.
||Wondering about my personality again, yes?||
|…I'm just worried. What if I'm not supposed to be your vessel?|
||The boomerang came with my soul to you for the last time Uni, you know you are destined to be my aibou||
|But there are times when I feel like your soul just completely rejects me…|
||My child, do not worry. Everything will be alright. I won't reject you ever, aibou||
"Hey squirt," (A/N: Ryou acts more on the mocking side with his sis in diz story ^-^)
"Hey bonehead," Uni replied without looking.
"You know Uni, I've been thinking,"
"About how to play a joke on me again?"
"No. I was thinking about how, separated we are, so cold to each other…can't we call a truce?"
"No dear brother. We are at war."
"But why can't we be the lovey tubby siblings instead!"
"Because I'd like to gauge your eyeballs out and bake them to make stuffed eyeballs for an appetizer." (A/N: A lot like me and my brother ^-^)
"Aw…do you always have to be so mean."
"Because I like to be mean."
"Why?"
"You're the one who influenced me with violence. Ask yourself why," she continued, closing her eyes.
"Hey it's not my fault! Bakura just takes over time to time without my permission!"
"He's your yami. Deal with it."
"You think it's that easy? I'd like to see you try."
"I'll be glad to. If I ever can," she shot him a glare. (A/N *hint hint*: Oh, how wrong can you be Uni…=))
And that was the end of their conversation.
[*sigh*]
[[There's always next time]]
[Or maybe I should throw the ring away forever]
[[That won't help; she's already been influenced by my mature thief personality]]
[Yeah…mature *slams soul room door*]
[[Chill…]]
~~~~in the living room~~~~~~~~~~
Joey, Tristan, Ryou and Serenity sat watching TV. Meanwhile Mai was making something in the kitchen. Yugi was organizing his duel monsters deck until Téa suddenly popped up a suggestion.
"Hey, let's visit the museum again!"
"What for?" Joey asked without looking up.
"Because," she started, "our socials teacher said we'd do a project on ancient Egypt when we went back to school so I decided to gather some information since I'm in Egypt. And the place with most info on ancient Egypt that I can understand without a tour guide would be the museum!"
"I wouldn't think about school when I'm on vacation," retorted a tired Joey, "go if you like…I'm staying right here. I'm tired…"
"I consider my marks to be part of my future," she declared proudly, "unlike some people…"
"Suit yourself." Téa looked around the room.
"Anyone with me?" Yugi got up.
"I am," he volunteered.
"Thanks," she smiled, "oh, remember that tablet Yami was reading?"
"Sure, he'll gladly finish it," he replied happily. Hearing this, Joey got up almost immediately.
"On second thought, I'll come too!"
"Me two!"
"Me three!"
"I'd like to come too."
"Count me in!" Mai raised a hand.
"Hey I'm coming too!" Uni appeared in her doorway.
"Well guess everyone's in then!" Téa grinned, "Let's get going!"
~At the Museum~
"Now where was that tablet again?"
"I dunno, was it over there?"
"No, it's this way!"
"You're all going the wrong direction, it's that way," pointed Mai. They followed, but before they reached what they were searching for, another tablet caught Ryou's eye. He walked up close to it and began observing, and so the party followed him instead.
"Oooh," said Joey and Tristan.
"Will you two stop that," Téa snapped, "this is clearly another work of art worth for me to study and put in my beautiful soon-to-be assigned project!"
"So Ryou, whatch'ya think?" asked Yugi.
"I think," said Yami Bakura, "that something's wrong with the picture on this tablet."
"Couldn't you just materialize?" Yami had appeared beside Yugi, "it does make things easier for you and Ryou."
"I like taking over the real body." Yami examined the tablet too.
"I think I know what's wrong. You're in it."
"I should be in it. Incase you haven't noticed, pharaoh, this tablet isn't from one of your beloved tombs."
"Eh?"
"It's from the tomb of my family."
"YOU have a family too?"
"I was born in a family of legendary tomb robbers, our family was famous among all tomb robbers across the country." (A/N: Er, made this one up.) explained Bakura, "I believe you knew that, since I did bother you a lot with my tomb robbing."
"Oh, yes of course, how can I forget you used to be that red hot famous tomb robber," Yami's eye twitched slightly. "It's no wonder why you were so damn rich with all that stuff your family stole throughout all those generations to add to all the treasure you alone stole already."
"You forget pharaoh, I don't work alone. Not with my minions, but with my quite talented sister."
"Oh yah…you had an older sister…"
"Who helped train me into an expert tomb robber. I think you got sealed up a little too long pharaoh. Seems like you're still suffering in long-term memory," Bakura suggested. Yami glared.
"So then," Téa chimed in, "what happened to your sister?"
"Her soul was sealed by the pharaoh as well, in the Millennium Boomerang," he indicated.
"Isn't that Uni's item?"
"Exactly," Bakura nodded towards Ryou's sister.
"Is this true Uni?" Joey inquired, and Uni nodded.
"Then how come your yami never made an appearance?"
"Er...She doesn't like talking much."
"A small 'hello' isn't gonna kill," stated Tristan.
"You're right," said a voice behind them, "it won't." Standing there behind them observing the tablet was an older version of Uni, she had shorter hair and cold brown eyes.
"Hello," she greeted.
"HI," the gang greeted back awkwardly.
"Oh, Airen! Do tell me next time you come out!" Airen blinked.
"I did," she explained, "but you were talking to your friends."
"Oh, pooey!" Uni crossed her arms. Bakura walked up to Airen.
"I see you've seen something wrong with that tablet either, sister."
"Yes of course, that picture of you looks a lot more like me than you," she stated. Bakura lowered his head in thought.
"What could that mean?" the two huddled up in front of the stone to discuss, leaving out the others. Joey and Yugi gaped at the pair of siblings.
"Never have I seen Bakura so cooperative…and…nice?"
"You can't judge a book by it's cover Yugi," Yami explained, patting him gently, "after all, how else were they able to rob so many tombs together?"
"That is true…but he's usually so evil."
"It's their way of life."
"Guess you're right." At that moment, Airen's head popped up into the air.
"I've got it! I remember now!"
"Remember what?" Everyone looked at her for an explanation. She calmed down right away.
"I know why the picture looks so much like me."
"Why?"
"Because it was me." Bakura cocked an eyebrow.
"Sis?" he asked carefully, "are you okay?"
"I'm fine Bakura, I just remembered that the millennium ring had actually belonged to me. And the millennium boomerang belonged to you!"
"That means we got sealed into the wrong items then?"
"I suppose…in a way yes?" they stared at Yami who just remembered too what had happened during the sealing of the two souls.
"Well you two were jumping around the place and trying to kill me! Why would I care anymore where the both of you end up after the sealing of your souls when I'm about to be your victim!" Yami defended.
"Then if Bakura should be the one sealed in the Millennium Boomerang and Airen is supposed to be in the Millennium Ring," Téa figured, "and the boomerang belongs to Uni while the ring belongs to Ryou…"
Bakura was about to cry in agony and shame.
Airen was speechless.
Ryou covered his eyes, "My sister is going to be a monster of violence!"
Yami looked like he was about to laugh to his death, shrugging with a 'hey it's not my fault!' expression.
And as for the rest of the group, well, they were almost doing the same thing as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mwahaha!!! I am so cruel to Yami Bakura…=)
Yami Bakura *crying in agony*: Ra I pray for you to take me away from this evil, insensitive writer!
