Chapter Four: The Party, and Rescue Part 1.5

Disclaimer: All I own of Yugi-oh are the cards.

Ok. Firstly, since Bakura(our favourite schizo British homie) is going to be in this chapter, evil Bakura is Bakura, and chibi cute Bakura is going to be Ryou.

Also, you know what's awesome? Yugi-oh and DN Angel are related!! Yami/Yugi is Daisuke/Dark, and Bakura/Ryou OR Merric/Malik are substitutes for Krad/Satoshi! Wow… I am such an idiot…

Yami stripped off his shirt and lay down on the deck chair, trying to sort all this out. (if any girls had been watching, they would have majorly swooned.) So Pegasus brought him all the way here for the soul purpose of helping him skip algebra? He pinched himself.

"Ow, SHIZNIT, Yami, that freaking HURT!" Yugi screamed as Yami drew blood.

"I was just checking to see if we were dreaming… yeesh!" Yami replied meekly. What say we take off this Millennium Puzzle for a bit and sunbathe, eh?" he added, as an afterthought.

"What, and break our connection? And besides, we're on Isla Pegasus! He could jump out of a bush at any time and steal it!" Yugi reprimended.

"But it's cold!! And now I'll get a tan with an outline of a pyramid on my chest. Not good for girl-catching…" Yami said self-importantly.

"But…but—"

"No 'but's' for you. Don't smoke….get it? heh, heh… ok, never mind. I'm taking it off. We will still have a weak connection, so don't worry, and we'll switch after a while so you won't look so pale and EMO!"

"Hey!"

Ryou Bakura crept through the bushes like a tiger on the prowl. Actually, this metaphor was quite accurate, as he had stripes painted all over himself, a painted nose, and was crawling on all fours.

"Ow, f5ck, d4mn 17, 7h15 f5ck1n6 hur75, 1 4m n3v3r d01n6 7h15 4641n!" he said, 1337fu11y. (A/N: wow, that was never meant to come out in 1337. I just meant to use fsck as a substitute, so the rating could be happy, and now look. I hope you can read it…)

Bakura groaned as he crawled through the muck and bushes to get to Yugi. Bakura had been uncomfortable all day, from when he squeezed in the van with Yugi, using his dark powers to make him invisible, of course, to when he hopped on the plane arriving in Isla Pegasus. The last Bakura had heard of the old man, was that he was dead, but rumours had been flying lately saying that Pegasus had made a deal with a necromancer…Bakura admired his bravery. Necromancers were creepy. And he would know…So here he was, on Isla Pegasus, unnoticed and unheralded, just the way he liked it. now if only he could get closer to the Millennium Puzzle…

Pegasus sipped his Chateauneuf du Pape Rhône contetedly and sighed. Exactly 10.45 minutes ago, his security agents had spotted a certain Mr Ryou Bakura crawling around in the bushes, presumably on his way to Yugi. Pegasus chuckled. He had a fairly good hypothesis why he was there, but as he boarded the van and plane without being noticed, Pegasus figured he had better up his security standards. So now that he was here, Pegasus would make sure he wouldn't leave. Especially not with Yugi's Millennium Puzzle…that was his for the taking. Pegasus smirked, then drained the rest of his Côte du Rhône. Today was going to be such fun!

(MEEP!)

As the Blue-Eyes jet landed, Mokuba and Seto Kaiba dismounted the stairs and followed the guards to the elevator, also becoming as green as a celery stick. As they tried to walk out, they were greeted by Pegasus.

"Hello, Kaiba boys!! Welcome to Isla Pegasus. All is going to plan?" he asked jovially.

"Yes. Now where are my rare cards?" Kaiba demanded. He really didn't want to stay on the same island with Pegasus for longer than he had to.

"Oh, not really in the mood for conversation? Pity. Well, Kaiba boy, I've decided to let you duel for them…against Yugi Boy!" Pegasus squealed, much like a two year old whinging for a lollipop.

"WHAT?!?" Kaiba yelped. "You said I could have my cards and leave!"

"Yes, well…I changed my mind. Now, let's go to the duel arena, or, if you brought your duel disk, we can go to a nice secluded beach of mine, (even though this whole island is mine .) and duel!"

As Pegasus and Mokuba skipped off happily, the best of friends(even though the last time they met, Pegasus kidnapped ickle chibi Mokie and stripped him of his soul…), Kaiba was dragged behind them by three guards, while writhing in fury.

Back in the Domino City Airport, Joey, Tristan, Tea and Duke were being detained in the security ward of the terminal. They were all seething.

"Damn that Kaiba!" Joey screamed, livid.

"Urgh, what I will do to him when I get my hands on his neck…" Tristan licked his lips viciously, and a little creepily from the author's point of view…

"I know what I would do," said a voice behind them. "I'd rip my perfectly manicured nails right through his—well, you-know-what. Then I'd steal all his cards. But, then again, I'm not in your position."

All four of the detainees, who were bound to their chairs, swivelled them around so they could see the speaker. And, still bound as one by the happy bonds of friendship, all four jaws dropped together.

"MAI!?!"

"Yes?" Mai asked sweetly.

"What the $ are you doing here?!" Tea demanded, beyond bewilderment.

"I'm supposed to be here to interrogate you guys, but I decided, given the circumstances, that you could use some help. And in your case, Joey, I mean mental help."

"Hey!" Joey cried, wounded.

"Hmm. Well, tell me your whole story, then I'll decide if knocking out those security guards was worth it or not."

(same scene, after the story was told. It wasn't long.)

"Well, it wasn't worth it, but maybe a trip to a tropical island wouldn't be so bad after all!"

"What? A tropical island? Where did you get that idea?" Duke wanted to know. And justly, too. If I were him, I would have wanted to go to a tropical island with Mai too. But since I'm not him, let's get on with the story.

"Oh, you poor, naïve creature. I forgot to tell you that approximately 5 hours, 43 minutes and…30 seconds ago, Yugi was hoarded onto a private plane destined for Isla Pegasus, a remote island roughly 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 59 seconds away from here."

"Oh." Tea said weakly. "Well let's go then! But I forgot my bathing suit…"

(45 minutes later, Tea came out of Bloomingdale's with two string bikini's, and three sarongs.)

"About time, you imbeciles! Yugi could be trapped in the Shadow realm right now, or worse! He could be dangling from a telephone wire over a fiery chasm, or—"

"Alright, you puppy, we're coming." Mai interrupted maliciously. "We get first class, though."

So with Joey, Tristan, and Duke whining pathetically behind them, Mai and Tea embarqued on a rescue-of-sorts, with a little sunbathing on the side.

Alriiight! Sorry about the wait for Chapter 4, I was busy. Last week of school, you know. Therefore, I plan to update one chapter per day until I've run out of ideas for the story. Then, I'll do other things! Thanks for actually reading this… it means a lot to me! sniff sniff
