Sakura: hellooooooo! Yes I'm back! And alive, it took all my willpower and survival skills (I've had everything from moving house to a sprained ankle thence the exceptionally late update, sorry, sorry, and sorry but it could not be helped)
Grai: Noooooo, not the whipped cream please, for the love of ARGH!
Sakura: O.O that sounded like Grai, in serious trouble!
Aitwo: looks at the author power proof chamber well I'll be, they actually managed to get him into there. Too bad I can't use my powers to get him out.
Sakura: �.� you kinda, sound pleased about that.
Aitwo: ….
Sakura: is there something I should know, about you, and Grai.
(Grai: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!)
Aitwo: looks around to see if they're alone Kid really freaks me out.
Sakura: 0.o you're scared of Kid? The-fuzzy-cute-cat-melts-your-heart-with-one-look Kid?
Aitwo: nods I don't know why, I think it's because he can wreck so much havoc, and at the same time is just so cute! How do I fight that!
Sakura & Aitwo think of little Yugi
Sakura: �.� you don't, you just bribe
Aitwo: oh, yea. Guess that barrier I made of everything I could find on the portal between our fics won't work then?
Sakura: no.
Aitwo: drat
Sakura: and on that note, we'd better get Grai out.
Aitwo: how?
Sakura: this thing works on a strict time limit. Grins evilly the cast have been avoiding it by opening the door over, and over again.
Aitwo: catches on so all we need is make sure it doesn't close up again.
Sakura: well yes, but we could just as easily get them out with this holds up a container with a wasp inside I caught it when I was sending e-mail to Grai.
Aitwo: how on. Earth did you. Do. That?
Sakura: with a cup, a piece of paper and down right stupidity accompanied with heat of the moment adrenaline. (Really, this happened last summer)
Aitwo: oh. Right then.
Sakura: well lets let it out. Walks over to the door or the author power proof chamber Bakura! Your 'united foes of goodness' friend is on the phone!
Bakura: what? Now? Tell him to call back
Sakura: he says it's urgent
Bakura: Fine opens the door
Sakura: here! Gives Bakura the container with the lid lose, and runs away
Bakura 0.o shuts the door
2 seconds later…
The whole cast runs out of the Author power proof room
Sakura: My gosh! Grai are you ok?
Grai: barely crawls out of room mercy. Collapses
Sakura: ; ok then, shall we get back to oh so belated chapter update of the story?
STORYSTORYSTORYSTORYSTORYSTORYSTORYSTORYSTORYSTORY
"Please get off my head Kid"
"We play now?"
"Get off, my head first"
"Mmm, ok" The 3ft kitten clicked his fingers and immediately materialised on the floor to the right of Yami "Now we play?"
"Kid I really need to find Yugi"
"Yuuuuuugi?"
"Yes he's"
"Hiding from us!" Ryou quickly interjected, ignoring Yami's curious look "Like hide and seek, do you know that game Kid?"
"Yugi playing hide and seek, with you?"
"Yes! Do you want to play too?" Ryou looked like he'd just won 10 noble prizes as he looked at Yami and continued, "you can help us seek him"
All Yami could think was 'Brilliant!' Ryou had single handily solved both his debt problems and the problem attached to the previous solution, now they could look for Yugi, and Kid would think it was all a game. Why hadn't he thought of this sooner?
"Ok, me's help you find Yugi" with that kid scratched himself on the cheek smiled and said the lest expected thing anyone thought he would say next "Yugi's not here though, we's need to go to look some other world"
There was a moments pause as everyone, including a ghost form Bakura, stared at Kid, with a classic anime shock look on there faces (N/A for the people who are having trouble or for the those who need an example, it's the look Bakura and Seto always get on there face's when Yami revels the one card on the field they forgot about and wins the duel) a silence that on one wanted to break settled on the group for about ten minutes.
"Did he just say, what I think he did" Yami finally broke the silence, been the first to recover from the extremely bold answer intelligent statement "he knows where Yugi is, doesn't he?"
"That's not exactly what he said Yami" Ryou's surprise was still evident in his voice and his face "But he did kind of …indicate he knows where Yugi is"
"I think he knows!" Yami's eyebrows started to twitch; normally this would scare anyone who knew Yami because anyone who knew him also knew that Yami was generally a patient and calm Spirit rarely getting mad at anyone without good reason. Kid however didn't even flinch at the obviously increasing in raged Spirit, and kept smiling at Yami, while he curiously tilted his head to the right.
"Erm……Yami?...Kid?" Ryou had no idea what to do, on his left a cute fuzzy ball of mischievous fur looking curiously at an about to rarely erupt pharaoh, sending off dark waves of 'I'll kill you!' in his version of the death glare. "Erm…. Maybe we should start looking for Yugi?" he took a big gulp "Don't you think…Yami?"
Yami looked at Ryou, and then back at kid, who smiled. "Of course" It wasn't until after he said the phrase that he realised that they really did need to look for Yugi, he'd been so wrapped up in his own emotions that he didn't realise just how off track he'd got, Yami took a deep breath 'ok I need to focus, the sooner we find Yugi the better, he could be hurt or scared right now, but I'm having a staring contest with a kitten!' He turned to Ryou, "lets get going, Kid where is Yugi and how do we just there"
"Treasure hunt!"
"HUH!" Both Ryou and Yami fell to the floor.
Excuse me, but how is that relevant? Bakura stated, half forgetting that Yami was the only one that wouldn't be able to hear the question
"Need it too get to Yugi, he on a fun place, I need to have things to get there!" Kid stated as a matter-of-fact, through the sentence didn't seem to make much sense; then again it never seems to with this cat.
"Did you just say a 'fun' place?" Yami questioned "and when you say 'fun' is it fun of Yugi or fun for the bad guy?"
Kid smiled "fun is fun! If funny it's funny, Yugi in fun place, which is fun"
Yami developed an extremely large scribble over his head, as he tried to fathom what the hidden meaning was, if there was one at all, he eventually concluded that Yugi was safe for now, and the reason Kid was on a treasure hunt was access to it, much like you needed a millennium item to gain access to the shadow realm, Kid need some items to gain access to this 'fun world'…. Did that even make sense? Shaking his head Yami turned to Kid "Ok then, what do we need?"
Kid simply smiled and give Ryou a piece of paper, Ryou seemed to scan it quickly, look confused, and rescanned it. "This is full of riddles!"
"Mew!" Kid cutely smiled
Yami came over to where Ryou is "let me see" Ryou passed it to Yami who didn't seem amused when he scanned the page of riddles "I'm guessing that the answer to the riddle is the item we need?" Kid smiled, which Yami took as a 'yes' "and then we must bring it to you" Again Kid smiled.
"Me's come with you too!"
"What!" This time even Bakura invisibly joined in the group's surprise.
Oh no WAY! He's driving me nuts as a spirit just standing here!
"Calm down Bakura"
I will NOT calm down, I'm go to go more insane than I already I'm with that fur ball with us! Just working with the pharaoh is nauseating enough, but with that thing as well? Forget it, I'm going back into the ring and with that Bakura vanished back into the ring.
"I see the tomb robber couldn't take it" Yami said, having seen the ring glow and Ryou still himself.
"No, he couldn't take the cuteness" Ryou joked he then looked at his watch "about 8:30pm, gosh was Yugi only transformed 12 hours ago?"
"Yes and as I said it feels like a lifetime ago, I guess we'd better head back to the, house"
"Hmm it will be dark soon, we left the car at the fair ground though" Kid perked up his ears, and smiled. Before Yami or Ryou could say anything Kid clicked his fingers, and there stood the car, right in the middle of the golf course.
"Bing! Car here now" And not for the first time Yami and Ryou stood there completely amazed.
"I think it's just best to kind of…ignore that and go to Yugi's place"
"Agreed"
One uncharacteristically quiet car ride later Yami and Ryou sat on the big sofa Yugi's living room had, with kid playing on console, one of Ryou's ideas, to keep Kid occupied.
"Alright he gave the riddles to you, so what's the first riddle"
"Lets see 'an eight lettered word am I that begins and ends with 'e' yet only one letter do I contain, what am I? ... Huh? That doesn't make sense, how can an eight lettered word only have one letter? It's a total contradiction"
"I've learnt that you shouldn't take riddles so literally Ryou, I think the name of this object begins with an e and ends with an e and has eight letters in the word it's self altogether, but the one letter is designed to give us a clue as to what it's function is"
"Eight letters that contain one letter, hey that's it! Letter! Yami the object is an envelope!"
"An envelope?"
"Don't tell me you don't know what an envelope is"
"Well no, I'm a 3000 year old spirit"
"Sorry, I guess I didn't realise, an envelope is a folded up piece of paper that you put your letters into and write the address of the person you want to send it to. You seal it by the glue on the back and it keeps all of the letters papers together, and is often very small so it's not too much for the postman to carry"
"So it's like the outside of a scroll? We used wax to seal it to so we knew weather or not information was read or tamped with"
"Yes, I bet Yugi's grandpa, has some around the house somewhere"
"Maybe, what do they look like?"
"Erm", what does someone say to that Ryou thought "well, they're rectangular, often white, and have a sort of flap at the back of it to put the letter in"
"Ah! I've seen them in a desk Yugi has in his room, wait here" Yami disappeared out of the room and came back, holding a white envelope "this it?"
"Yes! well done Yami!"
Triumphant, Yami placed the envelope on the table "what's the second riddle?"
"Black when you buy me, red when you use me and grey afterwards forevermore, what am I? Now that's a bit of a teaser isn't it?"
"Black, then red and grey forever more, hmm what changed into three colours in one's life time?" Yami rested his face in his hands.
Ryou bit his lip, in thought, Black, before use, there were a lot of black things, but what's red when you use it?
Yami looked at Ryou's concentrated face, he hadn't really seen him this focused before, except that time the school went on that field trip to a power plant and started to explain about how different countries used different power sources the all over the world….."Of course! Coal!"
"What?" Ryou had nearly jumped out of his Skin at the sudden out burst.
"Coal, Ryou, its black when you dig it out of the Earth, red as you burn it and grey when it's been used"
"How on earth did you figure that out Yami?"
"Remember the field trip to those power plants?"
"Yes, I was trying hard to focus because Joey was snoring behind me" a light suddenly came on at home "ah I see!" Ryou flashed one of his trademark smiles, but it quickly faded "Yami where are we going to get coal from?"
Silence

Sakura: I'm really sorry, I promise a longer, funnier chapter next time, but recently I've been running around like a head less chicken, trying to get everything done for University, and sorting out my many money problems and, top it all off, have had no sleep in a while :-( it felt wrong to have the chapter cover the entire treasure hunt so part two coming soon!
Bakura: THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT! Sakura, get that AVRyou out of my room NOW!
Sakura: what's the problem?
Bakura: oh not much, he only blocks the Sinks with his hair, takes an hour in the shower, and organises MY stuff! I can't work like this!
Yami: the AVYugi and Yami are driving my nuts! They had the audacity to tell me to improve my deck! Me the king of games!
AVYami: you told me to stop been so high-and-mighty first!
Cast and AVCast start to bicker
Sakura: erm, Aitwo?
Aitwo: yes?
Sakura: Just HOW long do my cast and your cast have to share the Author note?
Aitwo: until I get my new story up Gets all dark around Aitwo I can't believe they deleted my fic the little mumbles in inaudible things, containing many words such as Baka why?
Sakura: a little scared of the normally laid back, but now fuming Aitwo, watching the two Bakura's trying to kill each other no reason. Just asking.
Grai: KID! You're needed!
Kid: MEW!
Both casts: ARGH! KID!
Runs away
Sakura: please R&R not be mad at me?
