Chapter 9: Mahhado's afraid of…

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Mahhado's shout was heard through the Kame Game shop and probably across the street too.

Yugi and Yami came rushing into his room. "What's wrong Mahhado-kun?" Yami asked a very stricken magician.

"N-nothing." Mahhado was failing to sound calm. 'Oh great now they'll know that I'm afraid of.."

"You're afraid of spiders? That an interesting thing to afraid of, Dark-san." Yugi was looking at the spider that was on Mahhado's bed.

Yami raised his eyebrow at that name but didn't comment on it. "I believe it is called arachnophobia, but why spiders? How can you be afraid of such a small thing?"

"I know its dumb but I just am." Mahhado was a bit more calmed down now that Yugi got rid of the spider.

"Was it something in Egypt when I was younger?" Yami asked

"Actually, it was you that made me afraid of spiders."

Flashback

"Mahhado, Mahhado!" Yami yelled

"Yes prince?"

"Follow me." Yami (10) took off down the hallway with Mahhado (14) following briskly.

"When they got to the specified room, Yami pushed Mahhado in the door and locked it. (you probably know what was inside)

A few minutes later, Yami opened the door and out came Mahhado, eyes as big as saucers. The spiders were gone (Destroyed by magic).

"O-oh Ra, prince, what were you thinking?" Mahhado was twitching.

"It was just a test. I wanted to see if it would work." Yami pulled out a spider from out of nowhere and caused Mahhado to scream.

"I guess it worked." Yami laughed.

End flashback

"That's how it happened." Mahhado was twitching.

"Ah, I see." Yami was finding it hard to contain his laughter. "Maybe I should remember a bit more of the pranks I did to you and Seth."

"I was in second after Seth for the people you loved to prank and pull tricks on. Seth because it was fun seeing him loose his temper and me because I blush easily." Mahhado mused. 'please don't remember, please don't remember.'

"I think there was a time when I pantsed you in front of my father and a few other officials." (A/N: For those of you who don't know what "pantsed" means, it's to pull down someone's pants.)

Flashback

Yami's father was having a meeting with a few high officials. He decided to have them meet his son and the high priest in training.

"Atemu, Mahhado, I want you to meet a few officials." Mahhado bowed nicely to them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Mahhado, being polite would always be the first one to greet people. Yami followed suite.

Yami had an idea. He sneaked behind Mahhado and pulled down his pants, all the way down.

Mahhado's face became as red as Yami's eyes. He was mortified. "P-please excuse m-me." He ran out of the room while pulling his pants back up.

The pharaoh and the high officials couldn't help but laugh. "That wasn't very nice Atemu, go and apologize to Mahhado."

"Yes father." Yami felt a bit of regret, perhaps he had gone too far with the pranks.

He went to Mahhado's room and knocked. "Come in."

Yami walked into the room. It was very neat with a bookshelf full of spell books and a desk.

"I'm sorry I embarrassed you Mahhado, I over-did it."

"Its ok prince. I'm just too shy."

End Flashback

Mahhado was blushing. "Yes you did pants me once, in front of the former pharaoh and the high officials."

"Let me think, what did I do to Seth? Oh, I remember now, I dyed his hair orange."

Yet another flashback

Yami sneaked up onto the unsuspecting Seth, soon to be high priest, and poured orange dye on his head. He then sped out of the room.

"PRINCE!!"

Seth covered his hair with a cloth when he went to a meeting in the afternoon.

Seth, why do you have a cloth on you head?" One of the high priests asked.

"The prince dyed my hair orange."

The pharaoh and the priests' eyebrows raised.

"Atemu again?" The pharaoh said with an amused look.

Seth just muttered something unintelligible and walked out.

End Flashback

"Seth was about ready to drown you in the Nile." Mahhado grinned.

"What other things did you do?" Yugi asked.

"Mahhado-kun did something once. He surprised my father because he is usually quiet and shy." Yami said

"What did you do, Dark-san?"

"Wait, before you tell him, why does Yugi call you "Dark"?"

"Because that's what the other shadow monsters call me."

"I see."

"So what did you do Dark-san?"

"I cast a spell on Seth; when ever some says his name, he would trip and fall."

Flashback

"Seth!" The pharaoh called to the blue-eyed teen.

Crash! Seth tripped

"Yes Pharaoh?" Seth said after he got up.

"You keep tripping today, did Atemu do something?" The pharaoh was about to call for Yami when,

"It isn't the prince's fault, Pharaoh, I cast a spell on him." Mahhado emerged into the room

"Why?" The Pharaoh was surprised, Mahhado pulling a prank on someone was unthinkable.

"Seth insults about every little thing I do wrong, including my magic abilities. This spell activates when someone other than me says his name. If he couldn't counter it than he must not be as good as me." Mahhado stated calmly.

"Undo the spell right now Mahhado!!" Seto shouted furiously.

"Fine." Mahhado waved his hand and Seth felt the spell lift. "I don't like being insulted so it's best not to anger me." Mahhado then disappeared

End Flashback

"Wow, Mahhado, you can strategize very well when it comes to pranks." Yugi was amazed.

"Yeah, it worked until he found out that I was afraid of spiders."
