The grand total of everything I own couldn't even pay for a car. Even a shitty used car! (YGO plus IY equals not mine)
Translations are at the end of the chapter. Aren't I so nice?
Malik is OOC. He's Ryou's eccentric best friend. Seto is still in Character, but also hangs around Ryou because he's quiet, Mokuba likes him, and Ryou knows when to shut up. Unlike some people I know…

Story now-
Bakura darted into the door and locked it. /That wasn't very nice! Leaving Malik with that girl/ Ryou reprimanded his yami.
/Feh. They'll get along fine. If we're lucky, Marik will send her to the shadow realm/
Ryou frowned at Bakura.
Back with Malik and Kagome-
"Ano…" Kagome said, "What happened?"
"That, my young miko, was my friends ditching me," said Malik. He turned to Kagome and grinned. "So… Sennen scales?"
"Yeah, I guess," she said.
"Okey dokey! Let me see them, and I'll awaken your yami. Oo! Maybe you'll have a hikari instead! That hasn't happened yet! I'll bet it would have it Seto-kun had a Sennen item. To bad he doesn't believe in magic…" Malik babbled.
"Malik? Could we… move on maybe?"
"'k!" he said. "hand me the Scales, k?" she did.
Darkness swirled around them. They found themselves in a corridor (hallway) there were two doors. One was a solid wood door; the other was traditional Japanese door. You could see shadows sitting behind it. Malik looked at them.
"Ohm. Marik? Which door isn't hers?" Malik asked out loud, and pointed to Kagome.
"The wooden door is the girl's," responded a deep voice. Malik cocked his head to the side, reminiscent of a confused puppy.
"You sure?" He asked.
"I'm always sure, hikari."
"Okey dokey, then." (A/n: lol. That's his new catch phrase!)
Malik lead Kagome into the other door. Upon entering, they saw a girl slumped on a futon. Malik rushed to her side. She looked like Kagome's twin. Her eyes were more angular, though. Malik pouted.
"Aw. She's a yami. And I was looking forward to a hikari spirit!" Then he pouted again.
"She- she looks just like me…" Kagome muttered.
"Of course. Technically, she is you. Or, mou hitori no maro," Malik explained. He felt her forehead.
"She should wake up in a few hours, tomorrow at the latest." Kagome nodded without looking up.
This girl… is me?
Ryou's place- later-
"Ding-Dong!" the doorbell rang. A crash came from upstairs.
"Bakura! I'll get the door! Just don't break anything else!"
/phbtt. Fine/ Ryou heard Bakura grumble.
Ryou opened the door and found-
"RYOU!" Malik screamed and hugged him. Ryou looked like he would rather be in shark infested waters than where he was now. Bakura appeared at the top of the stairs to see what had happened. (He's a spirit thingy)
"Kura!" yelled Malik as he tried (tried) to engulf Bakura in the same kind of hug. Ryou giggled.
/I hate you/ Bakura thought to Ryou.
/Aw. I love you too/ Ryou thought back with a laugh. (Sarcasm, if you didn't realize)
"Hello Malik, back so soon?" asked Ryou politely.
"Yup. The girl had to go home… Her yami is sleeping. She looks Japanese." The Egyptian answered. Ryou looked at him oddly, confused by the change in subject.
"Oh! Kura, Marik says 'Hi'" Malik remembered to say.
"Isn't your yami in the Shadow Ream?" Ryou asked.
"Nah, Isis-nee-san helped me get him back, 'cept now he can't do much. Not even take control…" The blonde said. He looked at Ryou again. "Ryou? Do you have fangs?" (You thought I forgot, didn't you?) Ryou's eyes widened.
"Y-yes…" he answered.
"Cool!" Malik exclaimed. Bakura sweatdropped.
"Malik? Could you not tell anyone about my- err- fangs?" Ryou begged. Malik nodded.
"Sure Ryou." (The sanity returns to Malik for now) Ryou walked away to get gloves to hide the other demonic features he was acquiring. Malik turned to the Bakura- spirit.
"So, steal anything interesting lately?" he asked. Bakura grinned
"Of course," The King of Thieves answered. He reached toward Ryou's discarded jacket.
"Look in the pocket," Bakura instructed. Malik did so. He pulled out a half of a beautiful pink jewel.
"Wow…" Malik said. "Where did you get this?"
"That girl – Kagome had it. It – it called to me," Bakura said in wonder.
"Okay…" Malik said, giving Bakura a look of disbelief.
"Really!" Bakura insisted.
"Right, right," Malik replaced the jewel, "Rishid is expecting me, and I just wanted to stop by to make you feel guilty for leaving me to the wolves!" Malik said cheerfully.
"That girl was hardly 'the wolves'…" Bakura grumbled.
"Well, tell Ryou bye for me! Ja ne!" said Malik as he left.
Isis-
outside Ryou's house-
Malik walked out the front door.
"Oh, hi Isis. Sorry I have to go now. See you later!" he said as he walked by his sister.
A nod was the Egyptian's response. Isis walked in the door and saw the Bakura-spirit.
"Ishtar," Bakura acknowledged. She nodded in acceptance. She had been told of Ryou and Bakura's newly non-violent relationship by Malik. Ryou chose this moment to return with black gloves.
"Ano…did I miss something? Wasn't Malik-kun here a minute ago?" Ryou asked, confused.
"Malik left," Bakura stated.
"Oh. Alright… hello Isis-san, how are you?" Ryou asked politely.
"I have to take a trip to England. I just wanted to tell you that I'll be gone for a few weeks. Can you look after Malik? Make sure he doesn't kill anything?" Isis asked.
"Alright…" Ryou said, surprised.
"Thank you. He'll be over tomorrow?" Ryou nodded.
The next day-
"BEEP BEEEEPPPP!"
Ryou groaned. He slammed a button on the alarm clock. Getting up, he remembered the guest that would be arriving. Oh, right…Malik will be over in a few hours…
He started to walk out of the room, when- "BEEPP BEEEPPPP BEEEPPP!" the alarm clock blared. The snooze button! He realized.
Getting annoyed with the ringing, Ryou threw whatever was nearest at the clock (This happened to be an unidentifiable golden object, probably stolen by Bakura).
"BOOM!"
/I didn't do it/ proclaimed the yami, who had awakened to an explosion. Bakura came out of the ring and looked around for the culprit.
"Eh…oops?" Ryou offered. His yami raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know what happened! I just threw something at the clock and…" here he gestured to the remnants of the clock.
Outside-
/Are you sure you want to do this/ Yugi asked.
/The Tomb Robber is scheming, I just know it! Why else would he give the puzzle back/ Yami demanded.
/Maybe he's changed/ Yugi offered. An explosion sounded from inside the house.
/That is likely. / Yami scoffed. He took control and knocked on the door.
"Hello?" asked a soft voice in an English accent.
"Bakura," Yami began. He was cut off by another voice.
"Hi Yami! What's up Ryou?" Malik called from the driveway. The car he arrived in drove away. He turned around.
"BYE Isis-nee-san!" he called. He turned to face Yami and Ryou once more.
"Marik?" Yami inquired, suspicious of the blonde since Battle City.
"Isis is going out of town. I'm gunna stay with Ryou!" Malik said happily. Yami turned to Ryou, who was trying unsuccessfully to rub the sleep from his eyes. Yami looked at Malik as if expecting him to pounce at any moment. Which, in fact he did.
"Hiya Ryou-kun!" Malik exclaimed as he hugged his friend. Yami noted that said albino looked scared out of his wits.
"H-Hello Malik." Ryou mumbled.
In Feudal Japan-
Kagome walked through the ancient village.
"Kaede?" she called, upon entering the elder miko's hut.
"Hello child," The woman said from behind her. Kagome turned around.
"Hello Kaede, I have something to show you," she said, pulling the Sennen Scales out of her bag. She Held them out to the other miko.
"This object, it contains a spirit!" The woman said, surprised.
"Yeah, I know," Kagome said, "The spirit is supposed to be me, my darkness."
"Whoever told you that?" asked Kaede, astounded.
"Does it matter?" the younger miko asked. The cloth hanging in the doorframe was pushed aside and a familiar figure entered.
"Why, hello Kagome-sama," Miroku said, "When did you get here?"
In the forest-
Inuyasha's head snapped up. He sniffed the air. It's her. Kagome is back. He took off running toward the village.
