Chapter Nine- M-squared negative 3000

Bakura kept running as fast as he could, not caring that he may have just lost Yami. Finally he yanked Marik, who he knew was behind him, very close to his face, "I'm. Not. Doing. This. Again."

Marik held up his hands to ward Bakura away, "Okay. No more Santa." He tossed Bakura his backpack and waited for ten minutes while the albino changed.


Bakura threw off the suit with the utmost distaste. Marik is such an idiot. I shouldn't have listened to him in the first place. Oh, well. Grunted Bakura, we can't find Yami. Guess the trip's over. He pulled his shirt over his head, and went to tell Marik he was quitting. Which he really has no reason to say that, since he made Marik do all those other things back at the house, but I digress.

"Kay, Marik, I'm done. You go play hide-and-go-seek if you want, but… what are you doing?"

Bakura saw that Marik had set up some sort of computer that was beeping continuously with an itsy-bitsy dot blinking on and off. As he got closer, he saw the dot was labeled 'Yami'.

Marik gave a pleased grin, "This is the M-squarednegative 3000. We can find anybody's position in the world with this." He pushed a button and more dots came onto the screen, all with names on them.

"Wow. High-tech," gaped Bakura, "Hey, that guy owes me money." He grabbed at the computer, "What the hell'd you pay for this? Gotta be, what, $3,000 per dot?"

Marik rolled his eyes, the effects of his falls beginning to subside, "Ishizu gave it to me. She got it from Kaiba and figured this way, I can't say I don't know where she is."

"Yes," Bakura nodded, "Well that would make sense; you are accident prone." He gave the computer a few good shakes, "How do you make it go to Yami-finding-mode again?"

Marik's eyes went wide, "Don't hurt it! It's going to save us from our troubles!" he snatched back the nifty computer and growled at Bakura, "My computer."

"Uh-huh," Bakura watched the screen to see the 'Yami-dot' was at the entrance of a coffee shop called 'La Grosse Café', "Where's that?"

The Egyptian blonde started typing like a maniac, "Well, let's see. If we square the root, multiply the radius, divide the circumference, add pie- mm, pie- subtract the measure of the diameter cubed, Yami is…" he watched the computer make whizzing sounds like it would puke, before pointing across the street, "Right there."

Bakura looked up and saw an ugly sign that said 'La Grosse Café', "Oh."

to cute-Baka: um, i don't know why yami went all 'fluffy cuffy'; maybe it's because it's in the morning, like bakura and marik acting mental. or it could just be that i wanted to be random.
