A/N – I spent a whole hour of my life (Probably longer) trying to get Quickedit to work. DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY PAIN, NOW? DO YOU?

Daikaio grins at the large amount of reviews listed in her Stats menu on her log in. Rauzeras sighs as she keeps reading Chantelle's assignment for her, looking agitated that she got stuck doing Daikaio's assignments AGAIN.

Toon Alligator is currently attempting to chop off Bakura's hair and throw it into the neighbour's yard, and yell out, "It's snowing!" Bakura was now extremely angry and Yami and Yugi were sick with laughter.

Daikaio uploads a new chapter and pets the seagulls fondly, waiting patiently for new reviews to be sent to her email inbox and mobile.

Everyone in the room sweat dropped; the scene before them was just too confusing too come to grips with. How could Yugi and Tristan just suddenly appear on the floor in the room from out of no where? This house really was crazy.

"So…" Bakura said slowly, earning a giggle from Toon Alligator.

"Pencil!" Toon Alligator chirped, stroking the thing. Bakura had a look in his eye that clearly said, 'I-want-that-pencil-and-give-it-to-me-now-or-be-hit-by-a-big-mallet'.

"What are you people doing here?" Duke demanded, casting a glance around at them all.

"Nothing," Tristan said, getting up to dust himself off. He glared at Duke with his oak brown eyes, distaste written across his features. Duke didn't catch the hint and turned to Joey.

"So, you guys wanted to find Marik?"

"Dat's righ'!" Joey said eagerly. Duke nodded and approached the door with the strange thing sticking out near one of the handles.

"He's in here. I think Kaiba would have locked this door though, and this thing looks like the…very strange lock," Duke said, staring at the strange thing sticking out. It was rather square with a circular hole in the middle, a tiny-but-no-doubt-sharp blade slipped inside the hole.

"Do you think it's some kind of keyhole?" Yugi asked, approaching the door. Everyone else circled around the door, trying to get a better look at it.

"I suppose it could be," Yami thought aloud. "Tomb Robber, do you think you could open it?"

"And get my hand cut off?" Bakura said indignantly, looking at the sharp blade inside the thing. "No way!"

"Pfft…wimp."

"Shut up, Pharaoh."

"Arguing be not nice!" Toon Alligator said loudly, hugging the pencil tighter. Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Well get used to it, the Pharaoh and I tend to argue a lot."

"THE PENCIL!" Yami cried, causing everyone to jump.

"Um…yeh, it's a pencil…your point?" Tristan said blankly.

"Pencils have poinds!" Joey said brightly, who was ignored.

"No, that thing is a sharpener," Yami said quietly. Everyone turned to look at the lock and their eyes widened in realisation.

"You're right!"

"Toon Alligator, may I have the pencil?" Yami asked politely.

"NO!" Toon Alligator shrieked, causing everyone to shudder. "Toon Alligator's pencil! TOON ALLIGATOR'S!"

"Give it!" Bakura snarled, diving at the green reptile. Toon Alligator summoned a giant mallet from out of no where and smashed Bakura on the head with it.

"Take that, Baku-Baku!" Toon Alligator giggled.

"Grr…" Bakura massaged his head, wincing slightly at the pain. Bakura sat down, nearly falling back. Ryou crouched down and held Bakura's shoulders securely to keep him from falling back and hitting his head on the ground. Bakura just leaned on Ryou for support while Yami tried to convince the Toon Alligator to hand him the pencil. But it wouldn't work.

"Tomb Robber, can't you just return this thing to the Shadow Realm?" Yami practically begged. Bakura looked too dazed to reply.

"Okay, well, um…got it!" Yami grabbed the Toon Alligator under the arms and lifted him up. Toon Alligator didn't seem to notice; he was too preoccupied by the object of his affections. Yami moved the reptile over to where the sharpener was and inserted the pencil into it. Suddenly noticing what was happening, Toon Alligator began to squirm uncomfortably in his arms while Yami managed to turn the pencil in the sharpener. The double doors swung open, and the first everyone saw was a very, very, very messy and trashed office.

And amongst it all was Marik.

Marik looked up and stared at them all for a brief moment. Next thing, he had tackled Yugi to the ground and was crying with joy. "Yes! You came to rescue me!"

"Mmph…get off, Marik!" Yugi muttered as Marik continued to squeeze the life out of him. Yami lost his patience and – with a great effort – pulled the psychopath off his Light. Yugi panted slightly from being nearly suffocated while Marik was jumping on the spot, clapping his hands and giggly madly.

"Okay, here's Marik, Pharaoh. Now what?" Bakura said coldly, staring at Marik with dislike. Bakura was still massaging his head where he had been hit.

"Well, now we can get out of here!" Yami replied, telling everyone the obvious.

"Yes, I realise that, moron. But how are we going to get back without being caught by those guards? Can I send them to the Shadow Realm?" Bakura added eagerly, eyes lit with excitement. Yami rolled his eyes.

"First of all, where's Kaiba?"

"I'll check," Bakura said, his Millennium Ring glowing slightly. The Eye of Ra appeared for a moment then disappeared, and Bakura looked quite worried.

"Well?" Joey said impatiently.

"He's…heading towards the elevator…" Bakura said quietly. Everyone was silent.

"WHAT?" They all yelped in unison.

"I said that-"

"Yes, yes, we know that!" Ryou snapped. "But we need to get Marik out of here!"

"Looks like sun is about to come up," Tea said suddenly, glancing out the window. "It might be hard for us to sneak out without being caught."

"I know!" Joey said brightly. "Led's blow dis house up!"

"As much as I would enjoy that, Wheeler," Bakura said, eyes dancing with longing of explosives to be in his hands. "What are you? Some sort of freak?"

Joey glared at Bakura and Toon Alligator just mourned over the pencil, which now was sharper and more deadly that before.

"Okay, we need…um…a distraction!" Yami said firmly. "Someone should head Kaiba off and keep him distracted!"

"Leave id ta Joey Wheela!" Joey said, patting his chest. "I'm great at distractions!"

"You are a distraction," Duke whispered with a smirk. Joey didn't hear him as he rushed into the room next door and into the elevator. Toon Alligator, noticing this, applied some Toon Magic onto the machine as the doors closed and Joey disappeared from sight.

"Just because that fool is heading Kaiba off doesn't mean we're out of the woods yet! The mouse doesn't get the cheese till the end of the maze! There is no 'I' in 'TEAMWORK'! Let's get back on that horse!" Bakura said firmly.

Crickets chirped loudly (Courtesy of Toon Magic) as everyone blinked at him. "…I didn't understand any of that…" Yami said slowly, looking at Bakura as if he was insane.

"I think what Bakura was getting at is that Kaiba's guards are probably about to come bursting in here at any second!" Ryou said quickly.

"Um…yeh!" Bakura said, trying to reassure himself and the others.

"Ohhhh!" Everyone said, understanding. And, as if on cue, loud thuds of footsteps were heard coming up the stairs Ryou and Toon Alligator had climbed up to reach their current position.

"Oh, Ra…" Yami and Bakura cursed.

"Oh, cheese and biscuits!" Tristan sighed.

"Oh, God!" Tea said fearfully.

"Oh, bloody hell!" Ryou said, shaking his head.

"Damn, my hair needs a wash…" Duke muttered.

"Oh, pencil!" Toon Alligator said mournfully, looking at said pencil sadly.

"Oh, fishpaste!" Marik growled. Everyone didn't even notice the abnormality of that remark and quickly hurried into the place Marik had been held hostage in.

It appeared to be Kaiba's office. A desk was situated at the far end of the room and a large chair that had wheels on the bottom of its' stands was behind it. Another set of those same chairs were situated in random parts of the room, as Marik had obviously grown bored being held captive. A lot of empty cardboard boxes had also been tossed about the room, bubble wrap littering the floor. A phone also sat on Kaiba's desk on the charger.

Well, it should be fun running Kaiba's place for a while.

With Kaiba…

Kaiba cursed a hundred times inside his mind as he sprinted down the halls of his 'cabin'. He had finally managed to break free from Bakura's Shadow Spell on the door (Though Kaiba hadn't known what it was), when the Spell had supposedly weakened. His guards had been baffled.

Kaiba, knowing this house like the back of his hand (Which was surprising, really), took the quickest way to get to his office where Marik was being held: the elevator.

He reached the elevator, ignoring the slightly persistent stich in his side. He pressed the 'Up' button firmly, waiting for a lift to arrive. The sun would be up in about half an hour, and he couldn't stand the thought of having those geeks in his house.

With a loud 'Ding!' the elevator opened and there stood a tall man dressed in a crimson suit, a crimson hat pulled low over his face.

"What is this?" Kaiba demanded.

"Hello, Mr. Kaiba, sir. Jus' doughd ya would like ya own elevador…clerk, dingy."

"Whatever," Kaiba snorted, stepping into the elevator. "Take me to floor sixteen, and make it quick!"

"You go' id!" The man pressed the button and the elevator doors closed. As Kaiba leaned back on the wall, glaring moodily at the ceiling, the man watched him out of the corner of his honey-coated hazel eyes.

Kaiba's Office…

"What can I do to help?" Marik said brightly, practically bouncing with excitement. Yami and Bakura exchanged an uncertain glance before sighing.

"Just…" At that precise moment, the phone rang. "You can answer the phone calls while we figure out a plan!" Yami said quickly. Marik giggled and sat in the chair, spinning around and around, ignoring the piercing phone ring.

Bring, bring.

"Okay, now what else is there to do?" Ryou asked, looking puzzled as to why they were running the business around here.

"Okay, which one of you is incredibly intelligent and knows all the megabytes, gigabytes and so forth inside out, back to front and would have some supernatural talent at computers for such a young age?" Bakura said all this in a fast, mechanic voice. "Come on; I know one of you is!"

They all blinked. "Um…Rebecca's not here, Bakura…" Tristan said slowly.

"Rebecca…" Yami and Yugi growled, hate evident in their voice. Everyone inched away from the two doppelgangers, suddenly freaked out.

"…O…kay…anyway, we should try and get someone to try and search for a way out of this place that can get us past the guards," Ryou said, looking around at them all hopefully.

"Okay, while you guys get on to that, I'll just-," Yami and Bakura began.

"No way, you two. You're helping."

Both yamis groaned.

Bring, bring.

Yugi rolled his eyes. He spotted another desk next to the one Marik was seated at and saw a laptop lying on it. Curious, Yugi approached it and opened it up. He logged on and many digits and numbers appeared before his eyes.

"AHHH! TOO MUCH INFORMATION!" Yugi screamed and fell of the chair he was sitting on.

"Aibou!" Yami cried. Everyone stared at him. "Um…I don't know why I said that(1)."

As if to break the silence: bring, bring.

Bakura's eye was now twitching at the sound. Everyone apart from Marik and the Toon Alligator (Who was currently making out with the pencil) crowded around the laptop to get a better look at all the figures on the screen.

"Kaiba must be some sort of alien to be able to understand all this…" Yami said slowly.

Meanwhile…

"Why the heck have we stopped?" Kaiba growled, feeling the elevator come to an abrupt halt.

"I dunno, Mr. Kaiba, sir," replied the Joey-in-disguise innocently. In truth, Joey had accidentally-on-purpose hit the 'Stop' button in order to give the others more time to form some sort of escape. However, Joey was really nervous about sharing a small room with an easily-to-annoy-the-cheese-out-of CEO.

"Kaiba." Joey looked out of the corner of his eyes in order to keep his face hidden by the hat. Actually, he had no idea where the outfit had come from. It had just…appeared on him when the elevator's doors closed. Probably had something to do with someone who starts with a 'T' and ends in an 'R'. Kaiba had pressed something on his gravity-defying trench coat, and began to talk into it.

"We're experiencing some technical problems with the lifts. It won't move-what do you mean someone might have pressed the stop button?" Joey nearly gasped in shock that the technician team were able to catch on so fast, but he kept his mouth shut tight. However, he didn't like the look in Kaiba's eyes.

"Thanks. Get it working soon; those geeks are obviously planning something." Kaiba released the pinch on his coat and looked up at Joey. "You must have heard about the break-in earlier?"

"Yeh…I heard somedin' like dat," Joey replied, looking nervous (Though Kaiba obviously couldn't see his face).

"Well, I believe that they're the ones who have caused the abrupt halt," Kaiba said smoothly, tone icy. "The technicians should get it fixed in no time."

Joey nodded slightly, careful to keep his gaze on the ground. There was an awkward silence that passed through the elevator.

"So…" Joey said, obviously looking for a topic. "You like…uh…you like spoons?" Joey said, mind coming to a blank.

By the look on Kaiba's face, he preferred forks.

Elsewhere…

"I've got it! You multiply the radius of the square root to Albert Einstein's theory on technical plants and their philosophy of the giant squid and divide that by the cubed root of a piece of pie!"

"As professional as that sounds, Tomb Robber, that would never be the answer," Yami said, shaking his head. "'The cubed root of a piece of pie?'" Yami added, an amused smirk on his face.

"Shut up, Pharaoh!" Bakura snapped.

Bring, bring.

"ANSWER THE BLOODY PHONE!" Bakura roared at Marik, who was giggling madly as he spun around on the chair. Marik stuck his tongue out and picked up the phone.

"Hello!"

"Hello, there. Is this Kaiba Corp.?" The caller asked.

"No, this is Marik!" Marik said brightly and hung up, whistling. Everyone turned back to the laptop.

"Damn Kaiba's intelligence for technology!" Yami cried, turning around and stomping off to the other side of the room. Yugi sweat dropped.

"Why must Kaiba always install such difficult codes onto everything?" Tristan asked no one in particular. Yugi shrugged and continued clicking across different browsers, eyes flying across the screen as numbers and digits flashed past. He looked close to faint from all the brain deadness.

"Yami! Come back here and help me!" Yugi whined, turning in his seat to look at the former Pharaoh. "…Yami?"

Yami didn't reply; he was staring at something that was hidden behind a mountain of cardboard boxes, mouth slightly open. Interested, Bakura and Tea approached him to see what he was looking at.

It was a guitar; and not just any guitar, an electric guitar. It was a blood red colour and was shining brightly in the non-existent light. Yami just stared at it, gaping like a fish.

Bakura waved a hand in front of his face. "Uh…hello?"

Yami was in his own world. Tea frowned at him and poked him in the side of the head. This managed to snap Yami out of his stupor.

"Pharaoh…all of that over some stupid guitar…" Bakura said slowly, not realising the consequences of his words. Yami spun around and glared at him.

"It is not stupid!" Yami hissed, shielding the guitar from them. "It is beautiful." He turned around and smiled at it fondly. "I think I'm in love."

Tea blinked and Bakura just stared. "Okay…" Bakura said quietly, watching the former Pharaoh pick the thing up and cradle it like some precious infant. "But if he starts making out with the thing, I'm leaving," Bakura whispered to Tea.

Tea wouldn't mind sticking around to see that.

A few floors below…

"What is taking them so long to fix this damn elevator?" Kaiba growled, asking no one in particular. Joey was sweating from the pressure of keeping his cool while Kaiba paced around the lift. Joey had to make sure he never shared eye contact with the CEO. He didn't want to find out what Kaiba could do to someone deceiving him – especially since it was the 'mutt'.

Suddenly, the elevator jingled into life and they began to ascend upwards. "Finally!" Kaiba cried, looking half-irritated, half-pleased. Joey, on the other hand, was horrified. He didn't know what he could do; were the others out of the mansion by now?

The elevator doors opened…and Joey saw Bakura chasing after the Toon Alligator. "Gah!" Bakura screamed, grabbed the reptile and fled back into the office.

"GET BACK HERE!" Kaiba roared, about to dart out of the elevator. However, Joey seized Kaiba by the shoulders and pulled him back. "What the-?" From the huge effort, Joey's hat had slipped off, revealing his blonde mop. Joey "eeped!" and pressed all the buttons on the elevator controls. The elevator shut itself and started going flying up and down between the levels.

Kaiba glared, holding onto a railing for support. "You are so dead, mutt."

Damn straight he was.

Again, in some other place…

Bring, bring.

"Guys! Kaiba knows we're with Marik!" Bakura then glared at the psychopath sitting near the ringing phone. "THIS IS YOUR ENTIRE FAULT!"

"Shh! I'm talking on the phone!" Marik was indeed talking…to a banana. Everyone fell over (Except Yami, who was drooling over the electric guitar) and Marik just grinned as he conversed with the yellow fruit that was a banana.

"MORON!" Bakura spat. "PICK UP THE PHONE!"

"Oh. I understand everything now!" Marik cheerfully, picking up the phone. "Howdy do dee! I'm a possum!"

"…I…see…"

"What can I do for ya?"

"Um…is this Kaiba Corp.?"

"Haha! Good one!" Marik dropped the phone with a clunk and began to fall into hysterical laughter. Everyone blinked (Not Yami, though).

"Okay, he's lost it," Ryou said blankly, a drop of sweat trickling down the back of his head.

"You figured that out just then?" Yugi muttered, returning to the laptop. "Argh! Damn Kaiba and making these codes so hard to crack! I've managed to translate it so that we can read it now. It's a bunch of questions!"

"Can you figure out the answers?" Tea asked, finally leaving Yami to his drooling.

"No! They're much to complex for me to handle!" Yugi cried tearfully. Bakura blinked incredulously at the screen.

"How many planets are there in our Solar System? What is Seto Kaiba's favourite duel monster? Okay, Yugi, how dumb can you seriously get?"

Yugi muttered under his breath and Yami was too busy gaping at the instrument to notice the insult. "Oh, just let me answer these things!" Bakura said moodily, shoving Yugi aside and taking a seat. "How many planets are there in our Solar System? Easy. Nine!"

Bring, bring.

"What is Seto Kaiba's favourite duel monster? Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Bring, Bring.

"What is your favourite colour? Uh…red! No-wait, I think it is-!"

"Your favourite colour is sun-shiny yellow," Ryou said informatively. Bakura muttered his thanks and answered the question.

"Hello! How can I help you?"

"How many seasons are there? Four!"

"Is this Kaiba Corp.?"

"How many Egyptian God cards are there? Three!"

"No, this is Marik!"

"What is the first and last letter of the alphabet? 'A' and 'Z'!"

Bring, bring.

"What is your name? Um…"

"Bakura Bakura."

"Oh, right!"

"Hello?"

"How many smarties are there in a jar filled with thirty-eight smarties? What the hell? It's thirty-eight, perhaps?"

"Is this Kaiba Corp.?"

"Congratulations, you have successfully broken into Kaiba Corp. control centre. YAY!"

"NO! THIS IS MARIK, DAMN IT!" Marik ripped the phone cord out in anger. "I am not a Kaiba Corp.!"

In an elevator of pain and annoyance…

"WHEELER!" Kaiba screamed, slamming Joey up against the side of the elevator. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY CABIN? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IMPERSONIZING MY ELEVATOR ATTENDANT? Wait…do I even have an elevator attendant?" Kaiba stopped, face looking puzzled.

"Uh…"

"Where are you freaky little friends, mutt?" Kaiba said coldly, increasing the pressure on Joey's throat. Joey gasped.

"Um…I dunno!"

"Liar."

"Okay, so they're at your office!"

"Good." Kaiba dropped Joey to the floor and waited for the lift to hurry up and quit stopping at every single level in the building. Kaiba snorted as Joey got to his feet. "You are truly pathetic, mutt."

"Thankyou," Joey grumbled, dusting himself off and massaging his throat.

A long, awkward silence filled the elevator. "So…" Joey said, searching for a topic. "You…come here often?"

Kaiba glared as if to say 'I-hate-your-guts-and-I'd-rather-have-you-screaming-with-pain-so-shut-up.' Joey gulped and shut his mouth.

In a room…of drooling Pharaohs…

"Bakura, I'm glad you were able to break Kaiba's security code, but to be completely honest: YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" Yugi screamed, nearly ripping his hair out.

"NO! I BROKE THE CODE SO I AM ONE OF THE FEW HERE WHO HAVEN'T LOST THEIR MARBLES!" Bakura shot a glance at Marik (Who was spinning around in the chair) to Toon Alligator (Who was chewing on the pencil) to Yami (Who had a large puddle of drool at his feet).

"Ryou? You mind-?" Yugi indicated Bakura and Ryou nodded. Together, they heaved the Tomb Robber off the seat.

"HEY!" Bakura slammed into Tea with a mighty force.

"OW!" Tea went flying and smashed into Yami, who hadn't expected it (Well, how could he? He was obviously distracted…) and they both fell over in a heap.

Yami's eyes widened in shock as he was brought back to reality. The girl he adored was lying on top of him, her lips pressed against his cheek. Yami felt his cheeks light up; something that hadn't happened in a while.

'Oh, God,' Tea thought wildly, noticing her lips in their current position. 'Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God…'(2)

"Um…you okay, Tea?" Yami said, his voice breaking slightly. He pretended he couldn't feel her soft lips on his warm cheek. 'Okay, it was nice, very nice…no, stop, get a grip on yourself! NOOOOO!'

Tea quickly got off her crush, face lit up like a tomato. "I'm…sorry, here I'll help you up!" She held her hand out to him and helped him to his feet.

"Sorry for what?" Yami said, faking innocence. It made his heated face calm down a bit.

"Um…for…causing you to fall over!" Tea said quickly, laughing nervously. Yami grinned at her and shrugged it off.

"Yugi, have you found a way to get out of this place?" Yami asked, momentarily forgetting about the guitar.

"Um…yes! Here's a way!" Yugi pointed to a highlighted path on a map of the house. "There should be some sort of passageway in this room…next to…that shelf over there!" Yugi moved his finger to point at a silver shelf that had a few strange looking ornaments on its' levels.

"Does it say how to open the passageway?" Yami asked, taking a closer inspection of the shelf.

"No, it's only showing where the entrance to it is, not how to open it."

"Here, I'll find it." Everyone looked at Bakura in surprise as he walked over to the shelf. He picked up some of the various items on the shelf, until he pulled sharply on a candle stick and a wall next to the shelf slid open. "I knew it! Kaiba steals ideas from the movies!"

"Bakura, you're a-well, no, you're not a genius. You're a…um…" Ryou trailed off.

"A dork?" Yami supplied.

"No, no, that's not right! He's a…"

"A goofball?" Yugi added.

"Close, but no, no…"

"A ding-a-ling!" Tristan said proudly.

"Wing nut!" Tea added.

"A football-playing King in space!" Marik said brightly. "With a moustache!" Marik pretended to draw a line across his upper lip. Everyone blinked.

"Uh, yeh, uh-huh…" Yami looked ready to run from the room.

"Okay, let's pretend that Bakura is a genius…for now…" Bakura glared at his lighter half who grinned. "Anyway, are we ready to go?"

There was a ding from outside the room…Kaiba and Joey were here…

"JOEY!" They all screamed.

At that precise moment, Joey took off from the lift and ran through the doors and slammed them shut. "BAKURA! SEAL IT-!"

"I know!" Bakura cried, quickly locking the door with Shadow Magic.

"OPEN UP!" Kaiba bellowed, pounding the door. 'Those little…!'

"Come on!" Yugi whispered loudly, and ushered everyone to the passageway. Bakura picked up the Toon Alligator while Yami dragged the psychopath from his seat over towards their exit. Everyone quickly clambered through the hole (Yugi programmed the doors to close behind them after about five minutes) and were hurrying through the passageway.

At that time (Though it was probably not very appropriate) Yami touched the spot Tea's lips had rested on his cheek before. Yami smirked; a smirk Bakura would be proud of.

Well, no, the 'genius' probably wouldn't be, but it was fun to think of it like that.
