Chapter Three: And a Prank War Begins

"I said get out!" Serenity whined, her voice almost hissing.

"I said NO!" Malik repeated, lunging at her once more. Serenity struggled to roll out of the way as he caught onto her.

Everyone in the control room was too busy watching Yami and Bakura yelling at each other to notice the fight behind them at first. "Say that my hair is not girly," Bakura barked at Yami, holding him in complete headlock. Yami weakly kicked out, connecting with Bakura's nuts so that Bakura yelped.

"No, I don't think I will," Yami said, dusting himself off and straightening his blue jacket slowly. Bakura stood there, half whining, half simpering at Yami.

"Oh my God," Mai said quietly, her violet eyes glued to the screen in disgust and worry.

Malik had fallen on top of Serenity, who was fighting to get him off. Due to the fact that his legs were spread over her and his head to her face, the scene disturbed the entire watching crew. "He wouldn't dare!" Joey hissed.

"Get off me, you wacko. What the hell were you trying to do?" Serenity pulled away from him, running one hand over her shirt, checking for undone buttons as she shot him a few very nasty looks, playing the other hand over her brown hair in hopes of untangling the desprete knots.

Malik realized what she meant. "I FELL on you, for God's sake," he snapped. "You're as stupid as you are vain," he added, trying to keep her from seeing the blush creeping into both his pale cheeks by rearanging his blonde hair over the sides of his face.

Tristan watched the screen stupidly. "Wait, WHAT did he do?" He finally asked. Everyone else muttered something, and a small die hit him neatly in the back of the head.

"Don't talk anymore, alright? Save me some aggrivation," Duke added.

"You stupid jerk!" Tristan yelled, and their squabbling once again became background noise.

Serenity still appered badly shaken. What the hell is his problem? She thought to herself.

"I don't understand why my brother is acting this way," Ishizu said sadly.

"You probably don't want to know, Ishizu," Yami said in his gentle tone from her side. She didn't remember him being there before, but said nothing and nodded to him. Why does he stand so close, and use my name? Ishizu thought confusedly.

Duke rammed Tristan's head off the computer desk next to Mai's hand, making her yell. "Quiet!" She hollored, stopping everyone. "Can't a girl get any damn peace?" She muttered.

"Don't worry, Mai. It'll be okay" Joey said, his brown eyes locking with her violet ones for a moment, making her want to belive in what he'd just said.

Meanwhile, Marik had cornered Tea and was enjoying every second of making fun of her. "Looks like your girlfriend's not going to pull through," He said confidently, smirking down at her. She locked eyes with him, but she blinked long before he did.

"Serenity'll be fine," she said, not just to disprove Marik but to reassure herself. But he only laughed in response to her feeble protests and started poking her in the side, which caused her to make a small squeaking noise. "Cut it out," she hissed at him, making him laugh harder as she squeaked again.

Kaiba looked over to Marik and Tea and smirked, happy to see the brown-headed girl in trouble. He and Mokuba stayed away from the action, their traveling chess set spread between them both. Mokuba looked at Kaiba as if asking why Kaiba didn't get up to help, but Kaiba only shook his head, causing Mokuba to remain seated.

Suddenly Bakura stood up and moved to Tea and Marik. "Get off her, for Christ's sake."

"Why should I? What's the big bad tombrobber going to do to me?" He poked Tea again, daring Bakura to come at him.

Bakura hurled a punch in Marik's direction. Marik fell on his back with a tiny grunting noise. "Fine, I'll leave the damned girl alone," he hissed through his teeth, obviously in more pain than he was willing to show.

"Bakura..." Tea stared at him, her peircing blue-eyed stare going straight through him. "Thank you." She set her hand on his shoulder. If everyone hadn't begun goggling at them, he would have let her rest it there. Instead, he brushed her off like a bug.

"It wasn't for you. I just couldn't stand that annoying squeaking noise you make." Trying his best at a smirk, he returned to Ryou, and the pair of them went back to their seats in front of the computers. Ryou gave him a suggestive look and recived only a smack in his head in return, which caused him to turn away, laughing and chanting under his breath. "Bakura loves Tea," He whispered, earning himself another solid smack.

Suddenly the attention was called back to the room. "Malik?" Serenity said softly.

"What do you want?" he replyed, his hands under head, holding his head up, bent almost double as if he wanted nothing better than to leave the room and disapper.

"I just wanted to tell you... Marik asked me to tell you that he and I have been going out for several months." Serenity looked at him, her grey eyes completly sincere.

"You've been WHAT?" Malik hollered. "You, and my YAMI..." He trailed off, his eyes widening in his head.

"I've been WHAT?" Marik hollored as the whole group, sweatdropping, turned to face him. "I'll go in there and KILL HER!"

"You can't," Ryou reminded him, and he and his Yami wore idenical smirks that made Marik kick the wall and hop around, complaining about his foot.

"I'm going to go out there and KILL HIM!" Malik started for the door, hand to the knob before he stopped to look at Serenity. Her calm facade left her, and she broke down into laughter. "You stupid little..."

Serenity's grin widened. "You should have seen your face!"

"Is this a prank war? Are you trying to trick me?"

"Maybe."

"Then you're on!"

And so, the prank war that would carry on the rest of the night had begun.
