I have come to the conclusion that the last chapter wasn't the best (gets poked by Kage-chan). Well that's what you get for attempting to write a 7- page chapter in 3 hours but only getting 5 pages. That was the shortest chapter, but I needed to tie up some things and get on to part two.
I also just noticed that Part one had no name... (Sweat drop). I'm going to fix the chapters and have the name of the Part under the name of the Fic. (Though it might take a while...)
By the way the name of part one is muchitsujo, which means Chaos in Japanese (or at least that's what the Online dictionary says). Part Two is called jubaku, which means Curse (look! Baku... Jubaku... 'Baku'ra, get it? Aw never mind...)
Anyhoo, I'm trying to get this out before I leave for Quebec in... how many days?
Bakura: dunno, on the 5th isn't it?
Yup. This is horrible. My week is so crammed, how can I finish it? Plus I have this killer sunburn, and I feel like my skin is sizzling. Itai! It hurts! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!!!!!!!!!!! That was one of the stupidest things I've ever done. Well, that's life.
Let's get this chapter started.
Disclaimer: (raises middle finger) that sums it up.
Current music: Strangers like me – Phil Collins
Warning(s): Swear words (bad Bakura!)
PS: this chapter might be a bit short... I really need to get it out, or Hpwannabe69 is gonna Spam me because we made a stupid bet...

Bakura's POV
"Chu!" I sneezed again. My sneezes are really weird. There quiet and girly sounding. A perfect example is that electric rodent off "Pokémon". I sound like him on helium. But I guess that comes from trying to make your sneezes quiet when you're sneaking around.
"Chu!" There I go again. There must be a large source of iron around here. I'm a spirit; we're allergic to the stuff. Most can't even tough it. I just sneeze a lot and get runny noses. If I touch the stuff (I mean the really pure stuff) I'll get a rash on the area of contact. It really sucks, but at least I'm not effected by it like other spirits. It burns many spirits and magical creatures.
"Chu!" But I have to say; holy water is probably the worst thing you can ever run into. I've been mistaken as a witch and burned at the stake. That was fun! It tickled! Then they thought I was a demon and threw me off a cliff. And despite popular belief, I can't fly! Amazing! I'm normal! Not really but lets take a moment to imagine that I am normal, just like everyone else...
...
Ok moments over. Back to holy water. Then, during the renascence (which I must say was one of the most whacked up times) some priest 'accidentally' sprinkled that stuff on me. It fucking hurts ok!!!
"Chu!"
"Tomb robber, will you kindly stop sneezing?"
Stupid pharaoh! I can't help it! I'm not as graced by the powers of Horus himself like you. He thinks he's sooooo special, just because iron doesn't effect him like it dose us (that's me, myself and I) 'lesser' spirits. Pharaoh no Baka.
"Well some of us happen to be allergic to certain metal alloys—Chu!" Fuck I need a tissue!
"You sneeze like a girl." He states.
'And you? You sound like a bomb went off. Like Ryou... he sneezes loudly too...'
"Whatever..." And I turn away from him and look out the window, watching the fluffy white clouds pass by (airplane!). Just to let you know, it's been a week after we found out about the Tauk curse. Of course I had to relay my dream to the Pharaoh and what not because 'you're helping the world by doing this noble act'. I have a few things to say. #1 Noble my ass. #2 I don't give a fuck about the world. #3 Fates a Bitch. I say let her take her course and destroy humanity as we know it. And while the worlds on fire, let's have a lovely BBQ. All in favor of the end of society raise their hand! (A/N: Go read my fic "View on the other side". Deals with Baku's view on society and other stuff))
So now were on our way to London to do so investigating. In all honestly I think it's ridiculous. And if all the world were to hear this they would obviously agree with me. They have no idea of the magnitude that's going on in this realm! Or that every ones fates lie in the hands of two small teenage boys (both with equally odd hair colours) and two three thousand year old spirits (that shouldn't even exist in this day and age). (A/n: Thanks for the Idea Una1!!!)
"Look! An Unidentified Flying Object!" I proclaimed loudly for all on the airplane to hear. It's too boring here. To calm. Chaos must ensue!
As soon as I say that, I hear gasps and shouts and a few random screams in the back. Hn. There's a sucker born every minute on this Ra forsaken batch of rock known renown as "Planet Earth". Come to think of it...
Is there life on mars?
If there is, I sure hope they're smarter than this bunch of organisms. I still don't know how humans survived for... lets see: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... A very long time. It doesn't see possible. I mean they're relatives to the monkey... wait, no. It's apes that they're closest to, or that's what the discovery channel says...
And I'm rambling again. Ryou's... dare I say it... right (flinch, that's not possible) about something (gasp).
I think I'm going senile...
(Cue psycho music)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryou POV (a few hours later at 8:30 pm)
Well what do you know? Our flight is delayed. So here we are, Yugi, two spirits and myself, forced to sleep in the airport lobby. Well actually it's Yugi, Bakura and me who are sleeping in the lobby. Bakura still refuses to go into his soul room. He says it reeks with the stench of stupidity. Honestly it's been how long since the incident? No use trying to talk to him, he's as stubborn ox and as hard headed as a ram.
I wonder if he's related to any of them?
/ Heard – Chu! – That! /
Another thing. Bakura's been sneezing a lot. I almost pity him.
Almost.
In all honesty I truly think he deserves it. Laughing at me when I get a cold and my sneezes shake the house and my voice gets hoarse and I sound like I've swallowed a frog. He just sneezes. And gets a runny nose. He's currently getting another box. His nose is bleeding from all the whipping he doses. I tell him to blow his nose but he says it feels like it's all over his face. He's a clean freak... when it comes to personal hygiene. When it comes to living quarters... it's like a tornado hit the place.
Sigh.
"I do belive we're suffering from AADS." Bakura said with a nasal tone. He was walking up to us with a big box of tissues that one of the workers gave to him out of pity. Yes, lets all be nice to the seemingly innocent tourist with the cold.
"What's that?" Yugi asked, looking up from his Duelist Monthly magazine. He has a subscription for it.
"Advanced Airline dissatisfaction syndrome." Bakura replies, sitting on the floor and making himself comfortable (with tissue box in hand). (A/n: don't own AADS. That was on a west-jet commercial)
"Oh," Yugi said quietly. "How long are we delayed for?" He asked me.
"'Till 8:47 pm tomorrow." I said glumly. "I hate it when this happens. You're always going to face a delay sometime in your life."
"Wanna dumpling?" Bakura asked out of the blue. "Some short English speaking blond girl and a English speaking Asian girl who was even shorter than the blond gave it to me. I didn't entirely understand what they said. I'm caught between common sense and hunger. Should I eat it or not? So I decided to not eat it because a stranger gave it to me."
"Than why are you giving it to me?" I ask.
"Because I'm not a stranger so it's safe for you to eat it. Besides I don't need to eat. Besides one seemed familiar... It's like that quote from Steven Wright: I'm suffering from amnesia and déja vu, i think I've forgotten this before."
"I'm not even going to try and understand your logic. It's like the 'let's thank criminals' thing all over again." I grumble.
"But it made since. If there weren't lawbreakers, police, lawyers and judges would be job-less. Then we'd have a bunch of hobos living on the streets. So we should thank the criminals for without them there would be no police!"
Suddenly Yugi snatched the dumpling out of Bakura's hand and took a bite out of it. Bakura and I stare in muted sock at our small friend.
"What?" Yugi asked, his question muffled by the pastry in his mouth. "You guys weren't going to eat it and I think it's a total waist of good food."
Bakura just shakes his head and whips his nose with a tissue; I can see the small specks of blood on it from his nose. "Just to let you know, I'm right." He said.
"No you aren't." I countered.
"Yes I am." He shot back.
"No you aren't!" I said louder.
"Yes I am!" He yelled. He has a loud voice.
"No your not!" I screamed.
"Brat, not so loud. Please don't draw attention to us." Bakura said, giving up. Bakura hates it when unwanted attention comes. 0-1 and Ryou's in the lead.
"Can I add my two cents?" Asked Yugi.
"Sure squirt." Bakura said.
"I agree with Bakura. It dose make since."
And the score is tied at 1 apiece.
Look at him, he's so smug. Stupid white-haired-look-a-like-tomb-robber... person.
I hate it when he gets outside help.
Damn him!
I shall get my revenge.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yami's POV (around midnight)
I decided to leave the comforts of my soul room to have a nice stretch and maybe to bug Bakura a bit. But when I came out, I found Yugi and Ryou sound asleep and Bakura wasn't to be found. One thought ran through my mind, one simple word.
Typical.
Bakura is antsy, no other way to describe him. Well there is, but he has a hard time keeping himself still. His fingers are always taping something or he's twirling something in them like a pencil.
Kleptomaniac. Probably gone to go steel something. Well better find him before he gets lost... or worse, scares someone.
20 minutes later
I haven't found Bakura yet. The likely hood of finding him is 2.3451 out of 10 because I'm sleepy. But I'm doing this for the benefit of the civilians of Hong Kong. Having an insane thief running around in a dark terminal is not good for any ones health.
I yawn. Man I'm sleepy.
"Damnit Pharaoh!" I here a voice screech with annoyance. Hn. Found Bakura...
Or did he find me? Whatever.
"What's the problem now Tomb Raider?" I ask with the same amount of annoyance in my voice.
"You yawned!!!!!!!" He said, pointing at me with an accusing digit.
".................................So?" I ask.
"Your gonna make me ---"He lets out a yawn that reminds me of a small kitten (a/n: pet, pet =.=). A small kitten with fangs and big claws that could rip me in half. "See! Argh! Yawning is contagious you asshole!"
I stare at the bizzare white haired boy in front of me. Funny that I called him a boy, he was around 17 when we were sealed away [1] and that age was considered an adult. Actually girls were married at 12 so maybe that was when we are considered adults. It's been so long I've forgotten. But in this day and age, since he has taken the form of a 17 year old, he is technically still called a child by society standards. I do belive it is 18 when you are officially and adult.
"What?" Bakura asked me, poking me where the millennium eye usually appears.
"What, what?" I ask.
"Why were you staring at me?" He said, or rather yelled, waving his arms around frantically. Honestly he takes things so seriously. Drama Queen.
"Don't get your boxers in a twist Thief. I just spaced out. And if I remember correctly, you also do that a lot." I state simply so that his small brain can comprehend the words.
Ok his brain isn't small. Bakura's a genius. Albeit a bit insane.
Suddenly the lights flickered. Then more and more and more. Then all at once the lights turned off. Great. Power outage.
Thunder clapped and a large flash of lightning bolted across the sky in a flash blue-white light.
"Awesome!" I heard Bakura say in awe right next to me.
Then it dawned on me. My breath quickened and I felt the hairs on my neck rise and sweat run down my temple. I turned to where Bakura was.
"Bakura?" I ask, a slight hint of quivering in my voice.
"Yeah?" He asked. "You ok Pharaoh?"
"No I'm not ok! The lights are off, I'm standing next to a mad man (I swear I could see the Cheshire cat grin spread across his face at that) and I have no clue where we are in this damn terminal!"
Silence was all I heard. Well that and my own ragged breathing.
"............ Shit." Was all Bakura said.
Suddenly we heard footsteps behind us. We froze simultaneously. I held my breath. Then a ragged breathing was heard from behind us.
"Pharaoh, is that you?" Bakura whispered quietly, voice trembling.
"No." I said, my voice quivering with fear.
We turned around and a flash of lightning came followed by thunder. A figure with black robs on stood before us. We looked to the hand to see the rather large knife in the figures hand.
A scream was ripped from my throat and I felt Bakura grab my wrist and he ran like a bat out of hell. We ran for two minutes till we hid behind a cardboard poster. The figure walked in with jagged gait and looked around then head in the other direction.
"This isn't good." I murmur to Bakura who was oddly silent.
"No shit Sherlock." He whispered.
"Oh god. Were lost in a terminal with a deranged person stalking us!!!! And the lights are out!!"
"Yeah. Seems like some kinda horror film." Bakura stated.
Suddenly maniacal laughter rang through out the place.
'Ra help us please!'
To be continued...
