Chapter X: Yami Bakura's First Move
The gang slowly crept closer to the horrible singing. It was coming from the kitchen. In the midst of the shadows, they saw someone leaning on the counter, eating an apple.
"Who is that? It's definitely not a man. Check out that feminine figure!" whispered Joey loudly.
"Joey, shut up. That person might hear you," said Téa, in an annoyed tone.
Joey shrugged slightly and continued watching the mysterious person.
"Do you think it's an axe murderer?" asked Bakura, his features filled with fright.
Téa bonked Bakura on the head. "Do you see an axe?" she said sarcastically.
Bakura turned a lovely shade of crimson. "No, but still. You never know."
Téa rolled her eyes and continued watching the unknown person.
"When the heartache is over, I know I will be missing you," the person sang.
Everyone looked at the mysterious figure. "O.o"
"Hey," said Kaiba suddenly. "I recognize that person!"
"Who is it?" asked Yami.
"Before I tell you, I have to get a closer look," Kaiba replied, slowly creeping into the kitchen. He ducked behind the counter.
"Nice, try, Kaiba," said the person. "You're not exactly sneaky."
Téa looked at the others. "How did that person see him?"
Yami had to hold in his laugh. "Um, Téa? How could you not see him? He was just kinda, like, right there."
Téa ignored Yami's comment and continued to watch Kaiba and the mysterious being.
Kaiba, still crouched behind the counter, gasped. "It is you!"
"Who did you think it was, the Boogey Man?" said the person, stepping out of the shadows to confront Kaiba.
Kaiba groaned. "First your brother shows up, being retarded, and now you."
Isis Ishtar looked at Kaiba. "How is my psychotic brother, anyways?"
Kaiba looked at Isis. "Still psychotic," said Kaiba, shaking his head.
"Damn. Did he escape from the Loonie Bin again?"
Kaiba's jaw dropped. "You mean to tell me he escaped?"
Isis laughed. "Of course not! I was just kidding you. He never was in the Loonie Bin, although he should be."
Kaiba breathed deeply, feeling relieved. "Thank goodness." Then, he gestured towards the gang. "It's okay. It's just Isis. You can come out now."
Everyone walked in to the kitchen. "Hi, Isis!" they said in unison.
"Hey, there," she said, smiling.
Bakura looked slightly relieved. "It's not an axe murderer," he said, sighing.
Isis looked at Bakura. "You thought I was an axe murderer?" Isis burst out laughing, and so did everyone else.
Bakura, hardly one to lose his temper, glared at them. "That's it! Yami, come out!" Bakura and his Yami switched places, and there stood the darker version of himself.
Isis looked Yami Bakura up and down. "Not nearly as freaky as Malik."
Yami Bakura glared at her. "Are you forgetting that Bakura and I are friends with Malik?"
Isis shook her head. "No, how could I forget? And I could almost swear you two are more than friends. Remember the time I caught you two making-out?"
Everyone gaped at Isis, then at Yami Bakura. "O.O"
"That's just sick, Bakura!" said Joey.
Yami Bakura rolled his eyes. "She was kidding."
"Thank the Lord for that!" said Téa, getting over her shock. She shuddered. "That wouldn't be right."
"Let's just close this discussion now, before it gets out of hand," said Isis. "I was just kidding, alright? No need to turn this place into a slaughter house."
Yugi's Yami sighed. "I wish you guys would act your age."
Kaiba snorted. "Act our age? Oh, and like you're so old."
Yami looked at Kaiba. "You're forgetting that I'm like, 5000 years old, Kaiba," he replied smirking.
"Oh, yeah. Weird people," he muttered.
Yami Bakura's eyes wandered over to Téa. He sighed deeply.
Téa caught Yami Bakura staring at her. What is his problem? she thought, giving him a death glare.
"Well, I ought to be going," said Isis. "I should try to find my brother. Get a good night's sleep, everyone. You know the director."
"Bye, Isis," said Yami. "Nice to see you again."
"Yeah, bye," said everyone else.
"See ya." And with that, Isis walked out.
"I'm going to bed," said Tristan glancing at the clock. It read 12:00 AM.
"Yeah, me too," agreed everyone else.
Téa and Yami Bakura were the only ones left standing in the room.
"Good night, Bakura," Téa said coldly, as she started to walk away.
Yami Bakura grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.
Téa gasped. "What are you doing?!"
Yami Bakura breathed deeply, then lowered his face towards hers.
