Chapter 6 'Which Way?'
Jade- Only one review?! Do I have to start bribing you people to get a few reviews?
Marik- I guess so Jade.
Jade- Fine! If you review you'll get a kiss from Yami or Kaiba!!
Bakura- Okay, enough talk, get busy.
Ryou- Yes, please hurry so you can get to more important matters.
Bakura- Like updating 'Promises Are For Keeps' and 'Flying Sparks'.
Marik- And killing the Pharaoh!
Disclaimer- Do I honestly seem creative enough to own Yugioh!? Don't own Measure of a Man, either.
Let's spare you the agony of having to hear Kaiba sing and just say he was terrible! Okay so he wasn't that bad; he chose to sing Measure of a Man, which was a great song for him to sing. Whatever he did, he would NOT let anyone tell where he had been this weekend.
A certain lilac-orbed, blond smiled, eyes shining with amusement. Who knew the CEO could sing? This would be great to tease him with. Of course the others were thinking the same thing... well most were anyway.

The Next Day
Yamia's awoke to the phone by her bedside ringing. She picked it up, "Hello?" she asked, trying to sound cheerful even though she just woke up.
"Hello Yamia! Want to go to the fair with me and the gang today?" came Yugi's overly-cheerful voice. Yamia smiled and replied, "Sure, I just have one question. How are you so cheerful in the morning?"
"Hate to tell you, Yamia but it's almost noon. But don't feel bad, I've been trying to get hold of Tea all morning and she seems to still be sleeping, and so is Yami."
"Really? Yami has always been a morning person... why is he still sleeping? Are you sure he wasn't drugged by anyone?" Yamia asked, concerned for her friend's health. There was a low chuckle from the other end, "Now where would you get a crazy idea like that, Yamia?" Yami's voice reached her ears, causing a slight blush to rise in her cheeks.
"Hey, Yami. Yugi told me you were still asleep. As for the idea, Marik's yami has tried it before."
"Yugi's a terrible liar. I'm surprised you believed him. Actually, I can't get much sleep, I keep having this strange dream. It's almost like a nightmare, only it seems real." At this point Yamia cut him off, "Really? I've been having a nightmare like that too."
Yami was silent for a moment, then replied quietly, "You don't think it has something to do with our past lives do you?" Yamia sighed and frowned slightly, "I do. So what time should I meet you? And where?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, the fair. We'll pick you up in about half an hour,okay?"
"Yeah that's fine. Maybe we could discuss our nightmares today?"
"Sure. Well, I'll see you soon. Bye. " and with that said, Yami hung up. Yamia sighed and staggered out of her cozy bed to get ready for a day at the fair.

"RYOU! RYOU! The demon is ringing again!" Bakura exclaimed, jumping onto his hikari's bed and looking over his shoulder to make sure the demon hadn't followed him.
Ryou sat up sleepily and rubbed his eyes, "What's wrong, Kura?" Bakura just stared at his adorable little hikari for a moment before replying, as calmly as he could manage, "The demon woke up again." Ryou moaned and fell back onto the bed, "Did it already go back to sleep?" Bakura curled up next to his hikari and rest his head on Ryou's chest, "I think so." he mumbled. Ryou smiled softly and stroked his yami's hair, "You poor soul. That demon really hates you, doesn't it?" Bakura nodded weakly before the demon sprang back to life. Bakura yelped and attached himself to his hikari assaid hikariwent to answer it.
In case you haven't realized yet, the demon was actually only the poor, harmless phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ryou! It's me, Yugi. I wanted to know if you'd come with us to the fair today. Please? Everyone else is going." Yugi whimpered. Ryou laughed as he imagined his friend using the deadly hikari look. "Hate to tell you, Yugi, but the Hikari Look doesn't really work over the phone. But we'll come anyway."
"Great! We'll pick up in about twenty minutes. See ya."
Bakura growled, "Just as was expected, evil people communicate through the demon." he muttered to himself. Then he shifted his attention to Ryou, "Don't I get a say in where we go?" he complained.
"You usually do but not today. We're going to the fair with Yugi and the gang." Bakura cringed slightly, "What did the demon do to you, hikari? Hey wait! I didn't mean you could leave me here!" he exclaimed, as Ryou headed out the door.
One Hour Later
"I'm sorry guys but I'm not willing to pay for any damage your yamis may do, so you're going to have to bear it." Seto growled, as he tied Bakura and Ryou together by the wrist, "And quit trying to bite me, Bakura." Bakura stopped, but only after Ryou threatened him through the mind-link.
"I can see why you wouldn't trust him, but you know you can trust me." Yami complained, poking at the rope binding him to Yugi. Seto smirked, "I'm afraid I must have forgotten Pharaoh. Besides, I'm only doing this for the public's safety. Wheeler, can I trust you, Devlin, and Taylor to control those two?" he asked, motioning to Marik and Sabelina. Joey nodded, "Sure thing, Kaiba."
"Good. Yamia, I have no doubt you'll go with Yugi and Yami? Ryou, I'm sorry but I don't think anyone can stand him longer than you, so you two will be alone, unless there are any problems. That leaves Mai, Mokuba, and myself. Now, I think we're set."
"Don't ya think you're going a little bit overboard, Seto?" Mokuba asked, tugging on his brother's sleeve. Seto shook his head with a smirk, "Mokuba, we may be rich but I don't plan wasting all my money on paying for damages done by them, and this way no one will get lost either."
-
"I feel like a damn mutt, being tied like this."
"Good, now obey me, for I am your master."
Bakura looked questioningly into his hikari's eyes, deeply surprised by the uncharacteristic response given to him. "Why do I feel this is going to be a common punishment, if I'm ever caught?" Ryou just smiled, not-so-innocently.
-
"This isn't right. Kaiba knows he can trust me, I've never damaged anything. He must have me confused with Marik's yami." Yami complained as he was dragged through the fairgrounds by his excited hikari. Yamia, who was trailing behind them, laughed softly, "Or maybe this is a way of him getting back at you for defeating him again and again."
Yugi turned around and tugged on the rope binding him to his yami, "Would you two quit talking so much and hurry up?"
Yami and Yamia both chuckled softly at Yugi's antics, "I can't go any faster than you Yugi." Yami reminded him, and he grabbed Yamia's hand with his free hand to avoid losing her in the crowd as Yugi picked up his pace. Yamia again, forced her blush down even though no one noticed it, at least that's what she thought.
-
Tea giggled softly as she turned to her companion, "It is so obvious to everyone except those three isn't it?" Serenity smiled softly, "Yes, Tea. It is quite plain to see their feelings for each other. I'm just so glad we got to come too." She glanced around quickly to make sure her brother wasn't around, because she was suppose to stay home due to the 'food poisoning' from the other day at school.
"Hey, what are friends for?" Tea asked, draping one arm around the younger girl's shoulders as they left to check out the fair for themselves.
-
"Seto, why didn't you tie the puppy to someone as well? I'm sure the public is completely safe with a stray wondering around here ya know." Mai joked as she and Seto followed Mokuba, as he rode ride after ride.
"Did you want the puppy tagging along with us?" Seto replied coolly.
"Good point. Hey, how does your brother not get sick?" Seto shrugged, "Talent, I guess."

Joey came up behind Tristan and Duke, panting heavily as he dragged Marik and Sabelina from the rope binding their wrists together.
"You guys don't let me have any fun. I was just going to steal his candy. I wasn't even planning on sending the kid to the Shadow Realm." Marik whined, then with a flash of his self-made fangs, he bit Joey hard on the hand. It wasn't hard enough to draw blood, but the way Joey was jumping around, screaming, one would have thought Marik took his whole hand off.
"If I get a rope burn I'm going to sue Kaiba." Sabelina growled, gingerly rubbing her bound wrist.
Tristan and Duke sighed, this was going to be a long day.
