a/n Okay, hopefully this one makes sense. A little bit of fluff with a lot of suspense.
Kiri yawned and stretched. The day had been long and the only thing settled was that the usual villains were innocent this time. Pegasus was a Toon Clown. The rest either accounted for as other cards or no longer existent on this plane of existence. So they were looking for an unknown perpetrator with unknown motives. She looked at the clock, surprised to see it was only 9 p.m. She stood up and stretched; smiling at Muki, she announced her intention of going to bed.
Hyozanryu stretched his wings as well, gesturing her to go first. She stared at him suspiciously. "Where do you think your going?"
"To bed."
"Where?"
"With you, silly." He smiled at her like it should have been the most obvious thing in the world.
"Hell will freeze over first" she replied sweetly. She turned around and headed for Kaiba's office. Hyozanryu followed her, all the while informing her that she was headed the wrong direction for bed. She ignored him. She walked into Kaiba's office and turned pleading eyes on Yami Kaiba. "Keep him away from me." She begged. She grabbed a blanket in passing from the overly large couch and curled up in a corner behind Yami Kaiba. She fell asleep grumbling about never Kaiba's who should never be allowed out. Sometime later, she felt something warm curling around her. She laid her head on the pillow and snuggled into the warmth. Falling back into the darkness of sleep, she thought she heard a faint, rumbling purr.
Bakura smiled as another fool player vanished into the darkness of the game. One by one, the fool's accepted his challenge and failed to defeat him. They all fell into the darkness. He hissed to himself in pleasure. He continued on searching for more challenges. Although it may have appeared that he was simply enjoying his freedom, Bakura still searched for the cause of this Dark Game. Not so much to stop it, but so that he could make sure it never ended.
Somewhere in that darkness, a set of eyes watched the happenings with interest. The sacrifices to the darkness strengthened the darkness. The Eyes chuckled at the group sprawled around Yugi's room; "staying together for protection," the Eyes whispered. Hikari Kaiba was sleeping alone in a dragon's size bed much to his disgruntlement. Yami Kaiba slept curled up near his desk, Kiri safely tucked away in his tail, Muki curled up in Kaiba's front legs. The Eyes continued watching with glee, it wouldn't be long now.
