Song lyrics

A/N – Hey guys, you know how the island they're on his called 'Leimore'? Well, my friend told me that a word that is spelt differently but sounds exactly the same means 'love' in English! O.O I was like, "!" It was kinda freaky. Anyway, on with the story…

Daikaio screams with happiness when she realises that all her half yearly exams have finished. Yami and Bakura have set up a few decorations in celebration down in the basement, where everyone was currently located. Marik is currently drowning himself in punch (The drink) while Yugi and Ryou were easily winning games of limbo – well, mostly Yugi winning the games to a sulking Ryou. Tea is dancing with a worn-out Yami, who is only good at dancing on DDR machines.

Rauzeras and Bakura are – surprisingly – dancing heartily to the American Idiot – Green Day music. They weren't too bad at it either. T.Alligator was summoning Funny Bunnies to chase Kaiba around the basement, while Mokuba was sitting next to a large teddy bear, apparently plotting evil things together.

After about three hours of non-stop partying, everyone collapses in Daikaio's room and is asleep within minutes…however, Bakura immediately wakes everyone up, shrieking about chapter nine. Daikaio's eyes bulge as she quickly logs onto the laptop and uploads the chapter. Then everyone collapses and is asleep in minutes…

Three days had past since the whole snake incident, and Yami had almost completely recovered. He was capable of getting up and moving around, but if he was to over-exercise, he would need to lie down and get some rest. A pity for everyone, because an entire week has past. This meant that they would return to Domino City in about seven days…

"EVERYBODY RISE AND SHINE!" Bellowed Marik into the speaker. Marik had finally grown tired of mocking the Pharaoh in his ill state and decided to return to his duties. What were those duties? No one really had any idea, but according to Marik it was 'top secret and important.'

"Someone please buy me a set of earplugs," Bakura moaned as he clamped the pillow over his head, lying face down. There was a negative murmur and Bakura cursed inside his soul room for the next few minutes.

"Stop yelling, 'Kura!" Ryou cried suddenly. Everyone went silent.

"Was he talkin'?" Joey asked sleepily. Ryou sighed, closing his hazelnut brown eyes tiresomely.

"Never mind," Ryou muttered. He rolled over and was asleep in an instant.

"May the light of Ra shine upon you all!" Marik cried as he pushed the cabin door open. The sunlight poured into the room and everyone groaned. The psychopath grinned insanely.

"Don't you have someone else to annoy?" Yami muttered, closing his eyes tightly. "Leave us alone."

Marik scowled. "You can't tell me what to do!"

Yami sat up so fast that it caused him to grimace from the sudden movements. He stood up proudly, aware that everyone that slept inside the cabin was watching him. The Eye of Ra appeared on his head, and his body glowed a brilliant gold. Bakura's also glowed brightly, though he looked rather irritated.

A moment later, Yami stood in the outfit he wore when he had been Pharaoh. A white tunic with a deep violet cape and many gold trinkets covering his wrists, shoulders and earlobes. Bakura looked like the complete opposite.

He wore dirty rags and had many scars covering his body. Both yamis were heavily tanned, and Yami looked proud. Bakura, on the other hand, was looking rather angry.

"I am the Pharaoh, and I can tell you exactly what to do!" Yami said in a firm, commanding voice. Marik blinked, mouth hanging open slightly.

"Y-you-! I-! N-no-o…" Marik pouted and sat cross-legged on the floor. "Tartar sauce!"

"Pharaoh, every time you do that you cause everyone who was related to your past to change into their past forms!" Bakura spat angrily, glaring at Yami. Yami shrugged.

"It's my job to keep the psychopath in his place."

"Actually it's that Malik's, but he's not here right now." Bakura sighed agitatedly. "Whatever. Just change back before Kaiba-"

"WHAT THE?" They heard someone roar from far away, their voice echoing across the island. Bakura and Marik were on the floor laughing hard, and Yami stood there with a transparent hand on his forehead.

"Kaiba," Yugi muttered to the bewildered looks on Joey, Tristan and Tea's face. They still raised an eyebrow at him, but Yugi ignored them.

The next few minutes were in silence as Yami adjusted the cape on his shoulders. The quietness was broken when they heard the sound of a helicopter landing outside their cabin. They all ran to the window to look, and saw someone step out of the helicopter and approach the cabin.

"Oh, Ra…" Yami cursed, taking a tentative step back from the door.

"What's-?"

BANG! The door to the cabin flew open and Seto Kaiba stood in the doorway. Or rather, Priest Seth stood in the doorway.

"ALRIGHT!" Kaiba roared, walking over to them. "WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS? I KNOW IT WAS ONE OF YOU, NOW WHO WAS IT?" Spit appeared to be flying from the CEO's mouth.

Joey looked Kaiba over. Rich priest clothing of blue and white covered his figure and a large hat was on his head. Joey nudged Tristan and they both began to snigger uncontrollably.

"I'll ask once more," Kaiba said in a quieter voice, though it sounded quite deadly. "Which one of you is responsible?"

While Yami was whistling and walking away casually in the background, Joey and Tristan took the opportunity to have a go at the Priest.

"Woo, man, is id getting' hod in 'ere or wha'?" Joey grinned slyly.

"Woo, man, I agree! Someone turn the AC up a notch!" Tristan added with a smirk.

"I dink he's liderally on fire he's dat hod!"

"Woo, yeh, check out those smokin' muscles!"

"Sh-moooooooooooooooo-kin-!"

"Oh whip me, spank me, make me yours!"

"Now take your pands off!"

"Any hotter and you'd be illegal!"

"SILENCE!" Kaiba roared at the two trouble-makers. "I WILL NOT BE TREATED LIKE THIS! I WILL NOT!"

Everyone in the cabin was laughing hysterically; even Yami looked very amused.

"YOU WILL ALL SUFFER!" Kaiba screamed manically. "SUFFER, I SAY!"

"Seddle down, hod stuff-!"

"SHUT UP, DOG!" Kaiba bellowed at the blonde, who "eeped!" and hid behind Yugi. "WHATEVER YOU PUNKS DID, UNDO IT!"

Not wanting any anger directed at him, Yami hid behind the others and used his shadow magic to change back into the pyjamas he had worn the night before. Bakura grinned and nodded at Kaiba, who was wearing a set of dark blue pyjamas with little racing cars covering the legs. Kaiba was too busy shouting to notice.

"KAIBA!" Yugi and Tea yelled over all the noise. "IT'S OKAY NOW!"

Kaiba paused, realising that he was now wearing his pyjamas. He flushed angrily and attempted to defend his current state of embarrassment. "Uh…Mokuba made me buy these!" Kaiba said, trying to keep his voice firm. Joey and Tristan were sniggering uncontrollably and Kaiba glared at them. A man in a professional suit came in with Kaiba's white trench coat. Kaiba pulled it on, and the ends of the coat was gravity-defying.

"Ooh, magic coat!" Marik said childishly, bending down so he was level with the ends of the coat. He used a finger to push the coat down and it sprang back up. Marik cackled gleefully and continued his silly game. Kaiba growled and kicked the psychopath, causing Marik to growl back. Kaiba then caught a glint of gold attached to Marik's belt.

"MY ROD!" Kaiba roared, realising this it was the Millennium Item.

"That…came out wrong," Bakura said slowly. Everyone blinked at him, before everyone – apart from Marik and Kaiba – began laughing uncontrollably. Kaiba looked even angrier than before, but Marik looked puzzled. Kaiba took this opportunity to tug the Millennium Rod out of Marik's grasp.

"Ha!" Kaiba cried triumphantly. He was soon flattened by Marik, who was desperately trying to get the Item. His body was now transparent, like Yami's.

"Kaiba, you-!" Marik cursed colourfully and managed to get a grip on the Millennium Rod. They were both engaged in a game of tug-o-war, the rest of the gang just watching, unsure of what to do.

"Uhh, well, I dunno who I should cheer for," Joey said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Can' dey jus' pull da damn ding apard and forge' abou' id?"

"No, Joey," Yugi shook his head. "One of them needs to have the Rod. And I think that Marik should have it-"

"WHAT?"

"Well, don't you think it's kind of unfair that Marik's life depends on him holding the Millennium Rod, while Kaiba couldn't care less about it?" Yugi asked them testily.

There was a general murmur of agreement, even though they didn't look pleased that Marik would be staying around. "Uh, should we help?" Tristan asked, watching the two men tug.

"Um…give us a minu'e?" Joey laughed nervously.

Yami shook his head and walked up to the psychopath and the CEO. He touched the Millennium Rod and they were both flung backwards in opposite directions, Marik still holding the Rod.

"Huh?" Kaiba groaned, getting up. He saw the Millennium Rod in the other's grasp and glared. "Give me the Rod!"

"NO!" Marik shrieked, as his body now looked solid. Kaiba held back a flinch at Marik's horrible screech and hastily backed out of the cabin. He leapt into the helicopter and flew off.

"Now then, what do you say, Marik?" Yami said innocently. Marik growled.

"I will take control of your mind, Pharaoh."

"Fair enough." Yami grinned. Everyone turned when they heard someone yawn wildly. Ryou's head popped out of the covers, and his hazelnut brown eyes looked at them sleepily.

"Good morning, everyone!" He chirped. Everyone fell over; they couldn't believe he had slept through all of that!

Not for the first time, Yugi had to sneak a batch of pancakes and toast on a platter back to cabin A2. Everyone knew that most of the students would find it extremely odd to see a transparent being walking about, and Yugi didn't want to draw attention to Yami's ill state. True, Yami was much better, but he couldn't be seen until he had the Millennium Puzzle around his neck.

But one thing still stumped him.

How was it that Tea was able to touch him? How? HOW? Okay, I'm just asking no one in particular; let's get back to the story…

Yami smiled appreciatively at his lighter half as he gulped the last bit of orange juice down. He patted his stomach to show he was satisfied before lying back down on his bunk. Yami stared at the top bunk moodily.

"What is it, Yami?" Yugi asked gently. Yami looked slightly frustrated.

"It's just that we only have a week until we have to go back to Domino City. And I pretty much ruined the past few days for you guys," Yami said, shaking his head slightly.

"Yami, no-," Tea began.

"Yes, Tea. Blame yourself and I'll-uh, do…um…something!" Yami said threateningly.

"Oh, I'm sure we're all petrified," Bakura said sarcastically. "Anyway, Pharaoh, if you make these friends of ours' – or in some cases your's – want to stay back and get you better, then that means Ryou is staying back, which means I have to stay back!"

After Bakura finished his complex little story, Yami just grinned. "Nah, not anymore, Tomb Robber. I feel better now."

"So much bedda now!" Joey said in a sing-song voice. Everyone frowned at him. "Wha'? Id's a song!"

"Sure it is, Joey," Tristan said, earning a light punch from the blonde.

"You sure you're okay, Yami?" Yugi asked, pulling out the other Millennium Puzzle from within his trunk. Yami nodded in reply and Yugi handed him the Puzzle. Yami placed it securely around his neck and it glowed slightly. The Eye of Ra appeared on his head for a brief moment, then his body returned to its solid state. Everyone cheered – apart from Bakura and Marik, that is – as Yami got to his feet with a grin.

"Now, you all know what happens next," Yami said, smirking slightly.

"What?" Bakura asked blankly. In response, Yami threw a shoe at the Tomb Robber's head. "OI!" But more items kept flying at Bakura until electricity seemed to crackle around Bakura. "THAT'S IT, PHARAOH! YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE!" And the two yamis sprinted out the cabin and onto the beach. Everyone blinked.

"Wha'?" Joey managed to blurt out. Yugi and Ryou giggled.

"They haven't had any competition for the past few days, I'm sure they needed to get that out of their system by now."

"Ohhhh," Joey mumbled in understanding.

Much later, after Ra had set, the group of friends had found a rather expensive hall that was located far away from the camp. They had a sneaking suspicion that Kaiba's 'cabin' was close by.

The hall had high-polished wooden floors and high ceilings. Their footsteps and voices echoed around the room, which entertained Marik greatly.

"Hello! Hello! Hello!"

"Good-bye! Good-bye! Good-bye!"

"Hello! Hello! Hell-"

"Okay, that's enough, Marik," Yami said and patted said psychopath on the shoulder. Marik hissed as if burned and jumped away. Yami shook his head musingly and sat down on the wooden floor. The others joined him and they all sat in a circle.

"Okay, I'm bored," Bakura said automatically, earning a disapproving eye-roll from Ryou. "Someone gives us an idea on what to do."

"Seven minutes in heaven!" Marik squealed girlishly. Everyone just blinked at him.

"No, Marik…" Yami said slowly.

"What?" Marik yelped, still sounding high-pitched and girly. "Are you, like, not approving of my, like, idea? Oh my, like, Ra! That is, like, so lame!"

Bakura slapped Marik's face back and forth, leaving Marik sitting on the floor with a glazed and confused look on his features. "Um, thanks, Tomb Robber," Marik muttered. Bakura shook his head and continued to ponder.

"Anyone up for a game of good ole socca?" Joey asked brightly. Everyone frowned at him.

"And where exactly do you plan on getting a soccer ball?" Tea asked quizzically. Joey rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh, didn' ged dat far…"

Everyone slapped their foreheads in frustration. Yugi and Joey looked at each other, than glanced at Yami and Tea. They both grin evilly.

"Truth or dare!" They both declared. Several people groaned.

"Can't it just be dares?" Bakura asked pleadingly. Yugi and Joey looked at each other and grinned.

"Nope, it can't be Truth or Dare without the truths!" Bakura groaned again. Yami smirked.

"Well, since you seem so eager, Tomb Robber, Truth or Dare?" Bakura glared at Yami who just smiled innocently. Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Dare."

"Okay." Yami thought for a moment. His gaze drifted onto the two large, white bangs sticking out of Bakura like a pair of bunny ears. Yami beamed. "Hop around this whole room like a bunny rabbit," Yami said brightly. Bakura's face turned a brilliant shade of crimson.

"No way! ENOUGH WITH THE BUNNY RABBIT TORMENTS, DAMN IT!"

"You chose dare," Yami said coolly. Bakura growled and got to his feet. He glanced at the smirking Pharaoh.

"Do I need to do the whole hand action, too?"

"Of course," Yami smiled. Bakura sweat dropped.

"You can't be the son of Ra." Bakura shook his head as he began to hop around the room, sending all viewers into hysterics. It took him exactly one minute to finish hopping around the hall and sit down, looking very flustered. "You have humiliated me, Pharaoh," Bakura said calmly.

Yami quirked and eyebrow at him. "Wasn't that the whole idea?"

Bakura glared and sighed. Then his eyebrows narrowed dangerously and he exploded: "DO YOU THINK IT WAS FUNNY TO HAVE ME ACT SO ANIMAL-ISH?" Bakura roared, everyone laughing. "I SPENT SIXTY-FIVE SECONDS OF MY LIFE ACTING LIKE A CURSED RABBIT!"

"Sixty-five?" Yugi asked in surprise, wiping tears from his eyes. "Isn't there sixty seconds in a minute, not sixty-five?"

Bakura blinked. "SILENCE!" He spat, sending everyone into hysterics again. "Okay, as payback for what the Pharaoh did to me…Yugi, Truth or Dare?"

Yami glared at Bakura. "My lighter half didn't give you the dare."

"So? That's the payback. Now choose, Pharaoh's Light!"

Yugi stared at the ceiling. "Uh…DARE!"

Everyone gaped at the small teen who was grinning goofily at them. Bakura frowned. "Um…okay…let's see…" Bakura thought for a moment, and then an idea came to him. "I know! Cover yourself in honey and stick marshmallows all over yourself!"

Everyone blinked while Joey and Marik were spluttering, as if they were about to crack up with laughter. "But, I-!"

"Do it!"

"Fine. Give me the honey and marshmallows and I'll do it," Yugi said with a smile, knowing that Bakura had none of those. He was surprised, however, when Marik pulled both of the items out of two large pockets in the coat he was wearing. "Um, right then." Yugi looked extremely suspicious as to where Marik had gotten the food but shrugged. He gulped and began pouring honey all over himself. Then – with Bakura and Joey's willing help – they applied the marshmallows onto Yugi's body. A few minutes later, he was sitting there with marshmallows and honey dripping off him slowly. Yugi looked irritated by everyone's laughter, and looked even more so when he saw Yami laughing too. "YAMI! TRUTH OR DARE?" Yugi yelled. Yami flinched slightly.

"Dare."

"I dare you to wash your hair with ice-cream shampoo – with chocolate chips bits – and condition it with chocolate sauce!" Yugi declared, ignoring the signs Joey was giving him to dare him to kiss Tea. Yami blinked.

"That was…random…" Yami and Bakura said slowly.

"That's the dare, so do it!" Yugi said firmly, honey flying across the floor. Yami nodded and got to his feet.

"Now, how am I going to do this?" Yami asked no one in particular. However, Marik responded by handing him a square container of choc-chip ice-cream and a bottle of chocolate sauce. He then handed him a large bag of warm water with a nozzle on the end. Yami blinked.

"How'd you-?"

Marik just nodded. Yami was now really freaked out. "Okay, one sec…" He handed the sugar-covered Yugi the bag, ice-cream and sauce before leaving the hall. About ten minutes later he returned with an ice-cream scooper, towel and was dressed in board shorts. "Okay, I'm ready." He noticed the others had set the bag with the nozzle on it up so it was like a shower. Yami sighed and stood beneath the shower, depositing his towel far from the range of fire from the water. He then placed the scooper on the ice-cream tub and stood under the shower. He fiddled with the nozzle and water sprayed on him.

"You gotta dictate what you're doing!" Bakura said cheerfully, though he was smirking. Tea was blushing furiously at Yami's bare chest. It was well-toned and well-built.

Yami soaked his hair thoroughly until the end were drooping. He then opened the container with the ice-cream in it. "Now, as you can see, shampooing your hair with ice-cream is a very delicate procedure. First, you must gently scoop a good amount of ice-cream into the scooper," Yami said, earning lots of laughter. "Then – carefully – simply pop it on your head and massage it into the scalp." Yami did so, using his fingers to massage it all into his trestles. "After a few moments of massaging, allow it to set-" (Everyone was doubled over in laughter) "-and then wash it out, allowing the milky substance to wash over your body(1)."

"Next: chocolate syrup. No spoon will be needed for this technique," Yami said while placing the spoon in the tub of ice-cream. "Now, simply pour the chocolate syrup all over your head…AND FRIENDS!" Yami cried, and began to spray them all with the chocolate. Several screams were heard:

"YAMI! I'M ALREADY COVERED IN ENOUGH SUGAR AS IT IS!"

"Does this look funny to you? THIS IS MY BEST SHIRT!"

"HOW DARE YOU SPRAY ME WITH THIS STICKY DARKNESS OF CHOCOLATE COVERED BEANS, PHARAOH?"

"I want a puppy!"

"OH NO! MY SKIRT!"

"DAMN IT, YAM'! YOU COULDA AD LEAS' GO' SOME OF ID IN MY MOUD!"

Yami laughed mischievously, then Bakura pulled the nozzle of the shower and all the water poured over Yami, leaving a massive puddle in the hall(2). Yami glared, his hair really drooping now.

"That is not how you wash out chocolate conditioner."

"ENOUGH!" Bakura yelled, looking displeased. "I'm just gonna-!"

"ICE-CREAM!" Marik cried happily, seizing the ice-cream and the scooper and began shovelling mouth-fulls of ice-cream into his mouth.

"That does it! Some Shadow Realm payback is in order!" Bakura barked, pulling a card out of his pocket. "TOON ALLIGATOR!"

The Eye of Ra glowed on his forehead as a short, green alligator with a tiny axe stood before them. He blinked at them all.

"Gragoo?" The alligator asked them.

"After the Pharaoh!" Bakura commanded. Toon Alligator shook his head and summoned a Toon World next to him.

"Roar! Toon Alligator thinks that funny man over there needs a helping!" The Alligator declared. Everyone turned to see Marik standing as stiff as a board, a blue flush on his cheeks.

"He better now have swallowed the spoon…" Ryou said slowly.

"Baku-Baku look-alike be funny!" Toon Alligator smiled brightly. "Toon Alligator is thinking that funny man has brain freeze. Toon Alligator will be helping with side effects!"

"I AM NOT A BAKU-BAKU!" Bakura roared.

"Toon Alligator be thinking that Baku-Baku keeps his mouth shut!" Toon Alligator said angrily. "Roar! Toon Alligator be helping now! Toon Alligator uses Toon Alligator's toon powers!"

Something a baby blue colour shot out of his axe and covered Marik like some sort of veil. Then, surprisingly, his eyes began to rotate like that of a slot machine. They were spinning fast and then his right eye stopped, a 'K' appeared instead of his lavender eye. Then his left eye slowed to a stop, leaving a 'O' staring at them. K.O.

Marik fainted and fell onto the ground. Toon Alligator bounced about, chirping happily.

"Roar! Toon Alligator be getting good at using Toon Alligator's magic!" Toon Alligator said while doing a happy dance similar to Yami's own on 'Baku-Baku's' head.

"Geroff!" Bakura snarled, pulling out a card. It glowed for a moment, then Toon Alligator disappeared back into his card. "That was pointless."

"But entertaining, Baku-Baku," Yami said with a smirk. Bakura charged at him, which Yami easily dodged, sending Bakura sliding across the slippery floor. Front now coated in chocolate, he stood up fuming and sat on a dry part of the hall. Everyone joined him, resuming their circle, Marik lying unconscious behind them.

"I believe it is my turn?" Yami said brightly. "Hrmm…Joey, Truth or Dare?"

"Double Dare!" Joey said brightly. Yami blinked at him.

"Uh, okay, who will you be daring with?"

"Trisdan of course!" Joey said, earning a glare from Tristan. Yami nodded and thought to himself.

"I dare you both to…knock on Kaiba's front door and pretend to be girl scouts selling cookies," Yami said.

Everyone gaped at him. "Man, Yam', dat was even randoma den Bakura's dare!"

"There is no such word as 'randomer'," Yami said calmly. Joey rolled his eyes.

"Fine. Led's go, Trisdan."

Everyone watched the pair proceed out the door and into the forest. After several minutes of silence, they heard a faint knock on a door. Everyone grinned.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kaiba, sir!" Joey said in a high-pitched, girly voice. "Bud may we pardon you for just a tinsy momen'?"

"Oh yes, Mr. Kaiba, we are girl scouts!" Tristan said in an equally girly voice.

"What is this?" They heard Kaiba's cold tone spit angrily at them.

"No need ta raise your voice, Mr. Kaiba, sir!" Joey squeaked. "We just wan' ta sell you some dings!"

"Girl scouts finest 'Girl Scout Cookies (A product of ACNE)'!"

"What the hell?" Kaiba barked.

"My, my, you need ta do somedin' abou' dat tempa, Mr. Kaiba!"

"GET OUR OF MY FACE!" Kaiba screamed, and an echoing slam of a door was heard.

"Don't come complaining to us when you get hungry!" Both Joey and Tristan cried.

When Joey and Tristan returned, they saw everyone was clutching their stomachs and laughing uncontrollably – apart from Marik who was stilled 'K.O-ed'.

"Alrigh', alrigh', enough!" Joey barked. "Ryou, Tru'h or Dare?"

"Truth!" Ryou gasped, blinking tears of laughter from his hazelnut brown eyes. Joey pondered for a minute then his expression brightened.

"Okay, Ryou. If you were a girl, which of us guys would you wan' ta go oud wid?"

Ryou blushed furiously and glared at Joey. "What? I can't answer that – it would make me sound like I'm homosexual!"

Bakura fell over laughing at the mention of 'sexual'. Ryou sighed.

"You chose Tru'h, so now ya godda do id!"

Ryou pouted for a moment but then stopped. "Before I answer this, I would just like to say that I am one hundred percent straight – homosexual free."

Bakura continued laughing hysterically and Ryou glared. Ryou muttered something quietly and blushed. Everyone looked at him eagerly.

"What did you say?" Tea asked.

Ryou mumbled again, no one able to understand a word over Bakura's laughter.

"What?"

"BAKURA, OKAY(3)?" Ryou roared. Everyone blinked in surprise and Bakura stopped laughing.

"What?" He yelped as the former Pharaoh began to snigger quietly.

"I said that if I was a girl I would want to go out with Bakura," Ryou said calmly, though an embarrassed flush was visible on his cheeks.

"Ah man, Light, that's wrong," Bakura muttered. Ryou rolled his eyes.

"Yes, I know. But that's my answer." Ryou glanced at Tea and then at Bakura. "Bakura, Truth or Dare?"

Bakura glared. "Ryou, I've already done this. Gardner hasn't done one yet, pick her."

Tea looked at Ryou uneasily. Ryou shook his head. "I chose you, so Truth or Dare?" Tea could breathe easily again.

"Fine!" Bakura sighed, folding his arms across his chocolate stained chest. "Dare."

"Okay, I, um-," Ryou thought for a moment, then said, "put on a 'MEGA HELMET'," he said with a great booming voice, "and bang your head on that wall while singing the alphabet backwards!"

"Ryou wins the most random prize," Yami muttered to Tea, who giggled. Bakura blinked.

"And just where am I supposed to get a 'MEGA HELMET'?" He said, emphasizing the words 'mega' and 'helmet'.

Everyone glanced at the unconscious Marik on the floor and Joey cautiously approached him. He slid a hand into one of his pockets.

He pulled out several Hamtaro manga books, dish washing powder, a pocket knife, a cotton candy machine, spoons and forks, a packet of band-aids, – Joey yelped when he pulled out a hamster when it bit his finger – some toddler's shoes, a hairbrush, another packet of band-aids and finally a giant helmet which was labelled 'MEGA HELMET (A product of ACNE)'.

Frowning, Joey gave the MEGA HELMET to Bakura. Bakura then placed the MEGA HELMET on his head and approached the closest wall. He started banging his head on the wall.

"A, B-I mean, wait, OW!" Bakura growled, and started again. "Z, Y…X, W, V, U, T, R-,"

"S," Yami corrected.

"Yeh, S, OW! And uh, R, Q, P, L-,"

"O," Ryou said quietly.

"Uh, OW! Yeh, it's O, ow! And-OW! N, M, and L, K, J…"

What Bakura didn't realise was that the wall was breaking…

"I, H, G, F, E, D…AH!" Bakura screamed as the wall began to crumble. Bakura and everyone jumped back as the wall cracked and fell in a heap on the polished floor. Bakura blinked. "Uh…C, B, A?"

Everyone stared at the mess on the floor, not quite sure what to do. Bakura glanced and Marik and casually shifted Marik so that he was amongst the pile of timber. Everyone then walked away, whistling loudly. As soon as they were out of the hall, they broke into a run, leaving Marik behind to take the blame.
