Bakura-own Yu-gi-oh and never will. Why? Becuase I'll kill her if she does. Then, I will own it...Is that even possible? Oh well... Story time!
Yuko dragged himself inside the house at two in the morning. He looked tired. He had bags under his eyes and his hair looked messier than usual. If that was even possible. He turned and plopped down onto the couch. Too bad it was already occupied.
"Ouch!" Yugi cried.
"Sorry!" Yuko said, jumping up. "Wait...What are you doing on the couch?"
"I was waiting for you to get back," Yugi said, rubbing his eyes. Yuko gave him a weird look.
"Why?" Yugi returned the weird look.
"Well, I was worried. You were out late and I wanted to see when you got home," Yugi said.
"How did you stay up that late?" Yugi motioned to the scattered Pepsi cans and candy wrappers.
"Sugar and caffine," Yugi said. "I'm not allowed to have coffee. I get too hyper." 'And soda and candy doesn't make you hyper?' Yuko thought. Yugi coughed slightly.
"Staying up that late probably got you sick," Yuko pointed out. "And all of that junk food isn't too good for you either."
"I'm fine," Yugi said, but then started sneezing and coughing. Yuko shook his head. He put his hand over Yugi's forehead.
"You getting a fever," Yuko said. "You should go to bed."
"I'm fine!" Yugi whinned.
"No, you aren't," Yuko whinned back.
"Yes I am!"
"No you aren't! You have a fever and you're going to get worse if you don't go get some rest!"
"Fiiinnneee." Yugi slowly got up and went up the stairs very very slowly. Once he had gotten into his room, Yuko plopped down onto the couch, sighing.
"This makes things a whole lot eaiser," he said, smiling.
"Makes what easier?" Yuko jumped. He looked over and saw Yami standing in the doorway of the living room. He hand't heard him come down. Yami was glaring at him.
"I asked, what makes what easier?" Yami asked again.
"Oh, nothing," Yuko said. "Just..certain things...Hey, can I ask you a question?"
"...What question?"
"Does my Pure and your Light really love you all that much? Has he ever told you or given you any sign?"
"Well...no..." Yuko laughed a little.
"Figures." Yami glared at him and then stopped off, but didn't foget what he said.
Going back a few minutes.
Basil opened the door and shut it behind him.
"Why are you coming back so late?" Bakura asked, standing in the shadowy part of the house.
"It's not late," Basil said, pointing at the clock. "It's early."
"Whatever." Basil smirked. Bakura just rolled his eyes. "What were you doing out so...early?"
"I was just hanging around with my friends."
"How come I find that unsafe?"
"Oh? You think having a little fun is unsafe? No wonder you don't have any friends.."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're way too far on the safe side." Bakura felt an argument coming on. And Basil saw that fire in Bakura's eyes.
"I'm not very safe, if you put it a certain way," Bakura hissed. Basil chuckled a little.
"No wonder your hikari doesn't like you," Basil lied, but Bakura took it seriously. "You're too dangerous, then. Since you said it yourself."
"What do you mean he...doesn't like me?" Bakura asked, trying not to belive Basil. But he couldn't help it. And his voice said it all.
"Didn't you see the look in his eyes a few days ago when you made him cry?" Basil asked.
"I..I didn't see his eyes.."
"Exactly. He didn't want to see you. You hurt him in a way that must of crushed his poor heart." Bakura felt a pang of guilt and hurt, but he wouldn't let Basil see that. Instead, he turned and stalked off to his room, thinking about what Basil had said.
"I guess I'll have to ask him myself," Bakura whispered to himself. But then he thought for a few seconds. "Ryou would lie. He wouldn't want to tell me he didn't...like me..." Bakura didn't know what to do. He wanted to talk to Ryou, but it was still early in the morning. And what would he say to Ryou?


Manik opened the door to the house. He was expecting it to be quiet, but it wasn't.
"You're baaccckkk!" Malik screamed, hugging Manik.
"Um..hi?" Manik said, confused. Manik looked over and saw Marik giving him the coldest glare ever. Manik smirked at him.
"Ithoughtyousaidyouwouldbebacklaternotthismorningthisearly!" Malik said really fast.
"...What?"
"Butthat'sokaycauseyourbacknowsodoyouwantbreakfast?"
"All I caught in that was 'breakfast'," Manik said.
"Yeah! I'm making PANCAKES!" Malik said overly happy. "With chocoltae chips."
"Right," Manik said. He looked over and saw Marik still glaring at him. "What's your problem?"
"...You," Marik hissed. Manik fake gasped.
"You acually talked to me! Holy Ra! Someone tell the news people!" Manik said. He then proceeded to do the whole fake pass out onto the couch. Through the whole thing, Malik was laughing and almost crying. Marik gave Manik a looked that would have made a duck in Canada fall out of the sky and die. ton(Somewhere else: Hey honey! Wanna have duck tonight? Hehe.) Malik hugged Marik.
"Oh come on! He is funny!" Malik said.
"No, he isn't," Marik said. "He's a stupid poser." Manik jumped up.
"Poser?" he said, chuckling a bit. "I think you are the poser!" Malik, noticing the tension between the two, quickly walked up the stairs and into a room, shutting the door.
"How am I a poser?" Marik asked.
"Don't think I don't know how you contorled the Pure. You did. And you forced him to be you."
"..."
"You're stund silence answers my question quiet throughly. I can't beilive he acually forgave you. I wouldn't. You forced him to do that aslo, huh?"
"No! Why don't you just shut-up until you can get the facts straight!"
"They are straight! Well...straighter than you, anyway."
"Hey! Don't even go there! You're the one who kissed Malik."
"Hm..You've got a point there. I did. Well, at least I can show him my love...Unlike you." Manik got up, smiling a small, but victorious smile. "I'm going to call Basil and Yuko later. We're going to go to the arcade or something. But for now, I'm going to get some sleep." Manik walked off into the room that Malik had let him borrow for now. Marik growled at him and then stomped off, feeling like he wanted to kill someone. Hopefully Manik. But, he couldn't do that right now. Unfortunatly. But, it would have been a good thing, for what he had planned wasn't exactly a wonderful...deed, I should put it.
