And a Very Merry RA-mas To You

Chapter 5 – Decorations and Brawls(Party 1)

- start –

Bakura was nervous when he went downstairs.

Okay. He was real nervous.

"Oh, Bakura!" Ryou greeted, "Once you've finished your breakfast, come to the other room." Ryou pointed to the living room. (fyi- no this is not going where you think it is)

"Okay… whatever…" Bakura muttered, and rummaged through the refrigerator.

"Damn store, there's never pure raw meat anymore, oh well, this'll have to do." Bakura sighed as he held up a package of raw steak; he tore off the cover and dumped it unceremoniously on a plate. He dipped his finger in the blood and licked it. ((ugh… gross))

"Hmm… cultured meat…" One of these days, he's gonna need his knifes and go a' hunting, what ever happened to blood that tasted like fine red wine? ((umm… is he a vampire? O.o))

Sometime later… -

"Gah!" Yelled a very frustrated Ryou, "For the last time Bakura! The decoration goes around the tree COUNTERCLOCKWISE! Not CLOCKWISE!"

"Well sorry!" Retorted an equally frustrated Bakura, "They didn't have clocks back in Egypt!"

"Well you've been living in the modern world for enough time to know which way the clock rotates!"

"I don't need a fucking clock to tell time! I know the time by the sun and moon! That knowledge is essential for a thief!"

"Oh yes, your great King of Thieves highness! But this is the 21st century for heaven's sake!"

"Well maybe I preferred Egypt!"

"Well maybe if you are stuck in the modern world, you had better adjust yourself to it!"

"ARG! I- UGH FINE NEVERMIND!" Bakura ended the argument and started huffy silence.

A LONG time later… -

"Oh Ra kill me…" Bakura moaned, sinking on a couch after he and Ryou decorated the living room and the tree, the only good thing was that they were celebrating in Ra's name, Ra's colors.

"Huh? Why do you want Ra to kill you? This is Ramas, after all…"

Bakura looked at Ryou for a moment and snickered.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing at all."

Ryou sighed, "It always gives me a bad feeling whenever you say that."

"Your feelings are right then…"

Ryou gave Bakura a curious look. Yup, something was up, and Ryou was sure he wouldn't like it one bit… would he? The tomb robber just gave Ryou a mysterious glance that only rattled Ryou's curiosity more. ((you may want to refer back to this part… maybe – hint hint -))

- WMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMMWMWMWMWMWMWMW –

"Yo whatsup Malik?" Bakura greeted Malik at the door. ((Bakura's insanity is only matched by Malik's insanity))

"Yeah, yeah, ignore me…(-.-)" Marik muttered, quietly slipping in.

Ryou spotted Marik, "Hey Marik!" He then saw the look on Marik's face, "What's up with that sour expression?"

Marik grunted, "Bad day."

"How bad? Come on, it can't be that horrible."

"Yes it can, as horrible as him." Marik glared across the room.

Ryou followed Marik's gaze to Malik, who was talking with Bakura. Surprise surprise.

"What's up with Bakura and Malik?" Ryou wondered out loud, but quietly, "They are spending way too much time together."

It had to be at that moment when Bakura stopped talking and he and Malik both looked across the room at Ryou and Marik, who were of course watching them.

"Bet they were saying the same thing…" Marik whispered to Ryou out of the corner of his mouth.

Across the room, Malik was also talking to Bakura in a low voice.

DING DONG

Ryou started, and rushed to the door. At the door step was Yami & Yugi & T.R.o.t.G.

ooo Lil Help Snippet ooo
(a) TRotG is (b)The Rest of the Gang
(b)The Rest of the Gang is (c) Joey, Tristan, Tea, Mai, Seto, and Mokuba.
Therefore, (a)TRotG is (c) Joey, Tristan, Tea, Mai, Seto, and Mokuba.
ooo End Lil Help Snippet ooo

"Hey Ryou!" Greeted Yami & Yugi, each holding a handful of presents, and so was TRotG. In fact, TRotG also greeted Ryou in the same way as their "leader" did.

"Hey all…" Ryou greeted back, but he sweatdropped as the long parade went past him.

Anywho, after Y&Y&TRotG had settled in, Ryou went back to talk to Marik.

"Where's Isis anyway?"

Marik shrugged, "A couple of days ago she told me that the Millennium Necklace told her that she will be late for the party and she won't be here until 9:15. And she also said that you and Bakura will be scared away by her presence after she gets here and you guys won't return for like 15 minutes."

"(O.o) Umm…"

"Yes my sister is crazy, I know."

"That's not what I was thinking. Well it kinda was but not really…"

"Just spill it Ryou."

"Well.. I had a dream that Bakura and I went outside during the party, and we talked, and this happened at exactly 9:15…"

"(O.O) THAT'S FREAKY! What did you talk about?"

"If it does happen, I'll tell you, if it doesn't I won't tell you."

"Hey!" Bakura yelled across the room, "Are you guys gonna stand there and talk the entire party?"

"That's funny!" Ryou shot back, "I was just wondering the same thing of you two!"

Marik and Malik rolled their eyes!

"Don't roll your eyes at me!" Ryou yelled to Malik as Bakura yelled to Marik.

"Two sides…" Marik began.

"…of the same coin." Malik ended.

"And the same…" Bakura started.

"…goes for you." Ryou ended.

"You flatter me." Malik said, as Bakura said, "Your pitiful words of praise irritate my ears."

"Bakura! Malik!" Yami jumped in the conversation, "Don't forget about the duels!"

"Like we'd ever forget the chance of humiliating you in a duel!" Bakura and Malik said together.

"Humiliate! I haven't been but you two have been humiliated more than once!"

"Oh yes you have Pharaoh! If you haven't locked yourself away at the last minute, Diabound would've crushed you like an ant!"

ooo Lil Help Snippet ooo
(a) Diabound is (b) A Ka
(b)A Ka is (c) A monster of the soul. (Bakura's soul, in this case)
Therefore, (a) Diabound is (c) A monster of the soul. (Bakura's soul, in this case)
ooo End Lil Help Snippet ooo

"Stop living in the past, thief!"

Malik rolled his eyes again, "Isn't that what Kaiba always told YOU! And if you've forgotten, we ARE the PAST!"

Seto turned around, "Did I hear my name?"

"Malik! Why you-" Yami started a fight right there and then. A brawl started right in the middle of Ryou's house.

"Oh well, I guess I'm a part of this too!" Seto said, and jumped into the fight.

"Hey look Tristan!" Joey pointed out the fight, "A FIGHT! Let's go join. HA HA!" And what that, Joey and Tristan both jumped into the fight.

Everyone else sweatdropped.

"Hey Ryou." Mai looked at him, "What are they fighting over anyway."

"I dunno."

Mai gave a little feminine sigh, "How immature to fight over nothing."

The fight started at 8:50 and lasted until 9:10. All of the fighters were bruised and very angry, except for Seto. Sure, he was pretty steaming mad too but he somehow had managed to keep his clothes clean and smooth and keep his body from being bruised. ((fear the wrath of the CEO))

Marik, Ryou, and Yugi walked over to their yamis.

"You okay Bakura?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah, the Pharaoh has gotten pretty weak since Egypt." Bakura said, just loudly enough for Yami to hear.

Yami growled, "You're lucky I'm worn out right now, thief!"

Yugi sweatdropped, "(-.-;) Calm down Yami…"

In another corner, Joey and Tristan were slumped on the floor.

"Tristan?"

"Yeah Joey?"

"Why did we get into dis fight anyway?"

"I don't know."

"Okay. Cool."

There was a few minutes of silence. It was broken by a soft knock at the door.

"That's gotta be Isis." Marik said, as Ryou walked over to the door for the 3rd time.

And indeed, it was.

"Hello Ryou. Please excuse my tardiness, it couldn't be helped."

"Oh, no trouble at all, Isis, come in."

Isis stepped in and stopped, looked around her. She was surrounded by people, half of them on the floor and bruised.

Ryou came behind her, "Yeah sorry about the sight, we had a little brawl."

"That's alright," Isis said, but then she lowered her tone, "Get Bakura and go outside, I'll sort this mess out."

Ryou blinked, "Okay, thanks, but why?"

"Because the strongest urges to fight again are between Bakura and the Pharaoh, that's what started this fight, right?"

"Yes… I guess that makes sense… HEY Bakura! If you stay here for the rest of the night, you won't be able to see any stars!"

Everyone looked at Bakura, evidentially wondering what's up with Bakura and stars.

Bakura gave a death glare around the room and stood up, "So what if I like stars? Everyone's gotta like something."

Yami shook with laugher, not bothering to hide it. Bakura flipped him off, "We'll settle this soon enough, great Pharaoh."

"I'll be waiting, King of Thieves."

Bakura rolled his eyes and headed out the back door with Ryou.
