A/N: Thanks for reviewing! I'll continue on this. Also, yes, Eris is the villain in the Disney movie Sinbad, but she really is the Greek Goddess of Chaos and Discord. XD

Amidst the silence cloaking Seto's sitting room, Ryou prodded Malik with his foot. The blonde female began to stir. Suddenly, his eyes flew open and he looked up at Ryou. Relief was visible in his violet eyes.
"Oh, thank Ra. I had the most horrible dream that I had breasts!" Malik exclaimed.
"Yes, they are quite generous in proportion," Ryou remarked casually.
Malik's hands flew to his chest, and he groped himself. "Oh, Ra! I'm a woman! I'm a helpless, weak woman!" He scrambled for his shirt and threw it on quickly.
Anzu glared at him from across the small room. Malik leapt to his feet and looked as if he was going to make a mad dash out of the room, but Ryou slammed a hand down on his shoulder and shook his head.
"No more runaways. We need to figure out what's going on," he scolded with a frown. Malik looked around suspiciously.
"Where's the Pharaoh?"
Ryou shrugged. "He should be checking himself into an insane asylum, but he's probably wandering around trying to get the 'voice' out of his head."
Malik blinked. "What?"
Ryou waved him off. "Never mind."
Looking like he could kill someone, anyone, Malik glanced frantically around the room. "I'm going to keep thinking this is a horrible dream, but in the meantime, somebody tell me why the hell I'm a woman."
Everyone appeared helpless to answer his question. "We don't know," Anzu said quietly. "All of a sudden, you're a woman--although at least you can say you're cute; Yami Yuugi has gone crazy and he ran off, screaming something about 'voices'; Yami Bakura has also run off in a body of his own, God help us all; Jounouchi thinks he is Kaiba's dog; Kaiba thinks he is in love with me."
As she finished, feelings of overwhelm came over each teenager present. However, Jounouchi and Seto were quickly out of their stupor. After all, Jounouchi had Seto's leg to hump, and Seto had Anzu to hump... hopefully, if everything went according to his plans.
"But I am in love with you, ma cherie!" he told Anzu dramatically. She wrenched her hand from his grasp.
"No, you're not!" she replied hotly.
He seemed to be hurt by her words, but was quickly angered when Jounouchi began rubbing up against his legs. "Stupid mutt!" he shouted. "Get away from me!"
"I wonder what my yami is doing," Ryou pondered with a sinister gleam in his chocolate eyes. Honda raised a brow.
"You're acting strange, man."
Ryou looked sharply at him with narrowed eyes, but said nothing.
"Who cares about Ryou? Look at me, look at me!" Malik screamed, stamping his foot. "I've got tits, you bastards! And I'm missing something rather important downstairs!"
Anzu couldn't help but giggle at his outburst. Malik turned bright lavender eyes on the other female.
"You!" he shrieked, pointing a finger at Anzu. "This is all your fault! That Greek bitch gave us what we 'wanted,' and you wanted me to have a taste at womanly weakness!" With that, Malik launched himself at Anzu, tackling them both to the ground.
"Ma cherie!" Seto cried, trying to pry Anzu and Malik away from each other. Jounouchi jumped into the fray, pulling at Seto's pantleg whilst barking incessantly.
"Do something!" Shizuka cried. Honda and Otogi each grabbed one of the fighting women albeit reluctantly since they were privately enjoying the catfight.
"Let me at that bitch!" Malik screamed, clawing at Otogi's arms. If he weren't trying to control the hellcat in his arms, Otogi would have been rolling on the ground laughing.
Eventually, everyone settled down and an uncomfortable silence fell over the room--with the exception of Jounouchi's panting, of course.
"Malik made a very good point," Honda spoke up. "Eris did say she was going to give us what we wanted. What did we all say we wanted?"
Everyone was silent as they thought about what they had said prior to Eris's appearance.
"Well, I said that Malik should have a taste of female weakness," Anzu supplied, glancing at the Egyptian man-turned-woman.
"But you didn't say that I shouldbe a woman!" Malik yelled back angrily. Otogi tightened his hold on Malik, just in case.
"Jounouchi wished Kaiba would stop being mean to Anzu," Honda recalled. Then he tilted his head in confusion. "But he didn't say Kaiba should fall in love with her."
"Oh, yeah, and then Kaiba said my brother should beg at his feet like a mutt or something," Shizuka said, pursing her lips together in disapproval.
"Well, I think it was taken to the extreme!" Seto exclaimed, then amended to Anzu, "Except in your case, angel." He growled. "Damnit, mutt, get off of me!" He started hopping around the room, frantically trying to get Jounouchi to leave him alone.
"I told my yami that I wish he'd get out of my body and leave me out of his plans," Ryou said boredly.
"Is that all, guys?" Honda asked, looking around. They all nodded. Ryou deliberately left off the part about Yami Bakura wishing Ryou would stop interfering with his plans.
"Well, what happened to Yuugi then?" Mokuba asked in confusion. Everyone shrugged.
"Maybe Yuugi or the other Yuugi made a wish," Otogi suggested. "We've got to find Yuugi and Bakura."
"Especially Bakura," everyone added, looking at each other uneasily.
"I'll find my yami," Ryou offered helpfully with an obviously false smile. Everyone appeared hesitant, noticing the change in their friend.
"Well... okay," Anzu conceded. "Malik and Kaiba, go with Ryou."
"Oh, fine, ditch me just because I'm prettier than you!" Malik replied cynically. Anzu rolled her eyes as the blonde stomped over to Ryou and crossed her arms over her chest, growing even angrier when her breasts were in the way.
"And I'm not leaving your side, my love!" Seto replied forcefully.
"Fine, I'll go with Ryou and Malik, and you all find Yuugi," Otogi told them. "Come right back here after you find him. We have to figure out what to do about these wishes."
Everyone nodded in agreement and left Seto's house in search of the two boys.

What the hell was wrong with the Pharaoh?! Bakura wondered furiously as he wandered down an alleyway with his hands shoved in his pockets. Ryou? he questioned experimentally. Can you hear me?
He didn't know whether to feel excited or nervous without his host. He didn't have a clue how he suddenly had a body of his own, but it felt great to be out by himself. He didn't have to listen to the weakling reprimand him for his actions or listen to him yell when Bakura endangered the Pharaoh and his stupid little friends.
On the other hand, he didn't quite know how to act without Ryou there. What if he needed to call one of those taxi-things? Bakura attemped a whistle in the same way he had seen Ryou do it; he was not too frustrated when only air came out of his mouth. He shrugged.
He had gotten by on his own before, and he would do it again. He didn't have anyone to answer to--not that he had paid any attention to Ryou's ranting before--and he would enjoy his freedom starting right now; who knew when it would end.
A sly smirk spread across his face as he picked up his speed down the alleyway. World domination, here I come!

"Sneaky demon! Begone from my head!" Yami Yuugi bellowed, looking around wildly. Numerous people on the streets stopped to stare as he stormed past them.
"Let me out! What's wrong with you?" Yuugi cried from his soul room.
"What's wrong with me? I'm talking to myself in my head, that's what is wrong!" the ancient Pharaoh answered.
Yami Yuugi jumped backward as another car flew past him. "Metal demons!" he shouted in astonishment. He spotted a parked car and wandered up to it hesitantly. "Yet how are they so fast?"
He poked at the parked car with the toe of his boot. "This one is a deep sleeper," he observed, circling it like a vulture.
"It's an automobile," Yuugi told him as if he should know this already.
"Oh, Ra!" Yami Yuugi shrieked, clutching at his head. He glared at the car as if it were the fault of the voice being heard once again. He backed away from it, nearly getting run over by another car in the process, and ran into the nearest building.
"Hello, can I help you find anything?" a salesclerk asked. Yami Yuugi merely shook his head and waved the lady off like a servant.
He explored the department store, shoving various sharp kitchen utensils in his belts. "These should come in handy for that traitorous thief."
Upon reaching the ladies' lingerie department, he yanked a navy blue bathrobe off of its hanger. Hmm, this should do, he thought. He pulled a steak knife out of his belt and proceeded to cut the sleeves off of the bathrobe. Once he was satisfied, he draped the sleeveless bathrobe over his shoulders like a cape.
He walked proudly towards the front of the store and to the doors. "Hey, you need to pay for those!" a salesclerk called after him. Yami Yuugi looked appalled at the mere suggestion of such a thing.
"The Pharaoh does not pay for things!" he replied in astonishment. When the salesclerk called for security, he quickly ran out of the store.
"That's stealing!" Yuugi exclaimed incredulously.
"By Ra's will, I must do something about the demon making a nest out of my head!" Yami Yuugi declared. "An exorcist! Yes, I must find an exorcist!"
Yuugi gulped in his soul room. That can't be good...
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
Hmm, Bakura's really bent on world domination now! Yami Yuugi is going to have Yuugi exorcised?! Yipes... Stay tuned for the next chapter of BCWYWF to see if the gang has any luck of finding the runaway yamis.
