Song lyrics

A/N – I tried for three hours to get quickedit to work! Heh, heh...I won in the end. Anyway, this chapter is dedicated to my cousins and Aunty Lorelle. So, Aunty Lorelle, Jared and Chelse, this one if for you guys!

A big grin is plastered on Daikaio's face as she glomps her cousins. It has been many months since she has last seen them; she missed them very much. Rauzeras watched her from the roof, smiling. The Yu-Gi-Oh! gang are, once again, hiding in Daikaio's closet.

Daikaio jumps around with delight, shoving doughnuts down everyone's throats. When her mother goes to the fridge, however, she notices that lots of chocolate and strawberries are missing…

"Do you think Kaiba has lights down here?"

"No, you moron, otherwise they probably would of come on when we first entered this damn place!"

A cough.

"And you know that, how?"

"Because it's the typical thing Kaiba would do!"

"You know, he kind of has a point, there."

Another cough.

"Toon Alligator is wanting to see!"

"Most of us do, silly."

"Yes, but Toon Alligator wants to see now!"

"With what, you dumberer?"

"DON'T MAKE TOON ALLIGATOR BE CUTTING OFF STUPID BAKU-BAKU'S HEAD!"

"Whatever."

"Heh, Baku-Baku…"

"Shut up, Pharaoh."

"HACHOO!"

"Joey, are you okay?" Yugi asked, turning in the direction the sneeze had come from.

"Too…much…dus'…I'm…allergic…HACHOO!" Joey sneezed again. Bakura sniggered.

"Poor Joey," Tea sympathised as Joey coughed. "We should try and get out of here as quickly as possible."

"Aw, can't we just-?"

"DUKE!"

"Oh, fine, let's go then!" Duke snapped, marching ahead of everyone. Everyone followed, Joey's sneezing and the crunching of gravel against their feet the only noises.

"HACHOO! HACHOO! HA-HA-HACHOO!"

"Mortal, please do something before I consider killing you," Bakura said calmly.

Everyone froze. They heard the faint murmurs of voices coming behind them, though they seemed fairly distant.

"'Kura, please tell me you didn't forget to hold the Shadow Magic on the door…" Ryou said slowly.

"No…why would you think that?" His voice wasn't reassuring.

"Bakura…" Ryou said sternly.

"I heard sneezing," they heard someone behind them say. "C'mon, those kids can't have gotten far."

"Hey, guys," Duke said suddenly. "Why am I running away?"

Everyone paused. "Um…dunno," Joey said with a shrug.

"I have a right to stay in the Kaiba mansion! I shouldn't be running from it! What have I got to fear?" Duke marched back off in the opposite direction of where everyone else was heading.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Tristan whispered triumphantly. Yami's mouth curled into a smirk.

"Let's keep moving."

A set of midnight blue eyes and long, raven hair that hung below the long-sleeved, canary yellow pyjama shirt made themselves appear beside their brother, Kaiba. Mokuba was looking quite tired and agitated, as he had been woken up from all the noise.

"Big brother, what's going on?" Mokuba yawned, rubbing his eyes to clear the sleep.

"We've had a break-in," Kaiba growled, watching his guards trudge down the escape hatch that the 'geeks' had used to escape. He couldn't believe he had let them get away, just like that!

"Really? Who, Seto? Who?" Mokuba eyes were shining eagerly. Kaiba grumbled.

"Just the usual geek patrol, accompanied by their faithful mutt."

"When you say that, you usually mean Yugi and Joey and them. Right?"

"Right."

"Wow, they're showing courage to come into our house!"

"Mokuba, don't test me. I've had enough of this for one night."

"Okay, big brother," Mokuba whined.

"Hey, look at this thing!" Bakura said, pointing at something red and shiny on the wall.

"What's that?" Ryou asked curiously.

"How should I know? I can't see in here!"

"Your eyes still haven't adjusted to the darkness yet, 'Kura?"

"…no. Say anything more, and I might just have to steal one of your lungs."

"You find that possible? You could almost be an organ transplanter."

"You know, that would be very interesting to see," Yami said suddenly, amusement evident in his voice. "Tomb Robber; most feared being and King of Thieves of the Past: Organ transplanter of the Future."

"That's not funny at all!" Bakura cried indignantly. But Yami had collapsed in a fit of laughter, obviously very amused by Bakura being an 'organ transplanter of the future.' "I WILL NOT BE AN ORGAN TRANSPLANTER!"

/'I WON'T!'/ Bakura shrieked inside his Soul Room, throwing a dagger at an image of the Pharaoh's head.

('Shaddup, Bakura! You're so loud!') Ryou sounded annoyed. He closed off their mind link.

Yami still hadn't stopped laughing; several of the others were on the ground laughing too.

"NO! NOT A CURSED ORGAN TRANSPLANTER! NO!" Bakura looked furious; and he sounded it, too. "THAT'S IT!" Bakura slammed the red, shiny thing on the wall.

"Tomb Robber! You don't know what you might have done!" Yami cried, getting to his feet and his tears of laughter drying. "A bunch of mechanic bats could come flying out at us! Dead mummies could rise from the grave to claim us! For all we know, we could be attacked by a great ball of cheese!"

"SHUT UP, PHARAOH!"

"Guys, here that?" Yugi said fearfully, glancing around the shadowy, tunnel-like place they were in. "It sounds like…"

"It sounds…familiar…" Tristan said slowly.

"Oh, God." Tea looked fearful.

"What is it?" Bakura said impatiently.

"It's…a rock avalanche…" Tea said, remembering when they were trapped in that cavern a few days ago. Everyone was silent as the rumbling got louder. They looked up, and the ceiling collapsed above them.

'Artificial avalanche,' Yami thought. 'Wasn't counting on that.'

"It sounds like those losers set off the D.U.D.A."

"What's the D.U.D.A, big bro?" Mokuba asked, yawning again.

"Dangerously-Unnatural-Dislikeable-Avalanche," Kaiba replied.

"Really? I thought it stood for doo-da."

"Say what?" Kaiba said blankly.

"You know: it's a song. 'I am Mokkie, singing this song! Doo-da! Doo-da! I will sing it all day long! Oh, dee-doo-da-day! Sing it with me, bro!"

In a flash, Yami grabbed Tea – who had been right next to him at the time – and pulled him towards her. He turned them around so that they were facing the wall and squashed themselves up against the rocky wall, out of the way of the tumbling rubble.

Despite the fact that a pretty girl was in his arms, he felt the panic of his Light through the mind link and he immediately was worried. But he couldn't move; he would be crushed. Plus, he'd be abandoning Tea, and he couldn't forgive himself for that. But he wouldn't forgive himself if something happened to Yugi either! What was he supposed to do?

A moment later, the sound of rocks smashing against the ground seized. All was eerily quiet, apart from the occasional piece of rock that would roll down and hit the ground. Yami heard Tea cough.

Tea opened her eyes; she had shut them to block out the dust and because she had also been terrified. She blinked around, coughing slightly from the amount of dust in the air. She peered over Yami's shoulder and saw a pile of rocks very close to her face.

"Tea…" Yami's voice broke the stillness. "Are you alright?"

"Just…great…" Tea said, shaking slightly. "Wh-where are the others?"

"I'm hoping that they're on the other side of this wall…" Yami replied quietly. Tea failed to notice how tightly gritted Yami's teeth were.

"GUYS! CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Tea cried, facing the pile of rocks. She prayed that no one was underneath all the rubble…

"Urhhhh…" Tea heard someone mutter on the other side of the wall.

"Joey, is that you?" Yami said eagerly.

"Uh…huh? Led's fly je'star…"

Yami and Tea blinked. "Yeh, that's Joey," Yami whispered to Tea. "Joey, you okay?"

"Wha'?" Joey said, voice a lot louder and less hazy. "Yam'? Dat you?"

"Yes. Tea and I are here. Where are you?"

"Um…I can see a lo' of rocks," Joey replied blankly.

"I think you're on the opposite side of these rocks," Yami said loudly. "Is anyone else with you?" Yami prayed there was…

"Um…hold on." Yami and Tea waited patiently, hearing Joey move about on the other side. "Uh…yeh! Here's, um…dat's Ryou! And dere's Trisdan!"

"Are they okay?" Tea called.

"Um…Ryou's unconscious. Bi' of a nas'y bruise on his 'ead. And Trisdan-"

"-Just has a bloody lip, but otherwise fine," came Tristan's reply.

"Tristan, Joey, do you see Yugi? And what about the Tomb Robber? And Marik?"

"Marik's over here," Joey said. "He looks fine. I can't see any bruises or anyding like dat."

"And Yugi?" Tea asked urgently.

"Hrmm…oh! Here's Yug'!"

Yami let out a great sigh of relief. "Is he okay?"

"Um…yeh, I dink so."

"He's got a long cut on the side of his head," Tristan muttered, and Yami felt guilt twist its way into him. "And his eye looks kinda swollen. Oh, and that looks…painful…"

"What's wrong?" Yami said sharply.

"No, it's not Yugi, it's…Bakura."

"What?"

"He…ouch…"

"Man, dat's gotta hurd…"

"What's wrong with him?" Tea asked impatiently.

"He's…buried…"

"He's WHAT?"

"He's…buried under the rocks…"

"Ah…he looks…in pain…"

"Well, try and help him out!" Yami and Tea cried.

"We'll try!" Tristan called back. "Oh, and it's getting kind of crammed over here. Can you guys find a way out while we try and help this-"

"-poor simpledon?" Joey finished.

"Be serious, Joey. Bakura could die!" Tea said sternly.

Yami actually considered this a good thing before he suddenly realised the seriousness of the situation; the Tomb Robber could…die. Sure, they weren't the best of friends, all 'buddy-buddy', but Yami wouldn't even consider killing off the Tomb Robber(1). He may have been a Pharaoh, but he wasn't that cold. Was he?

No. He most certainly was not.

"Okay, sounds like a plan!" Yami called, voice echoing about the caved-in cavern. "Tea and I will try and find a way out of here. You two start by getting the Tomb Robber out from underneath the rocks and then try to shift some of these rocks. We'll see you soon!"

"Yeh, bye!"

So Yami and Tea set off, as Joey and Tristan grunted and tried to remove the large boulder that rested on Bakura's kneecap.

"We are in Kaiba Corporation! Doo-da! Doo-da! Come along and experience the cool sensation! Oh, dee-doo-da-day! Come on, Seto, sing with me!"

Kaiba shot an exasperated glance at his brother and began to mutter: "I'm in hell, someone save me. Doo-da, doo-da…"

Yami lead the way down the passageway, hearing the faint sounds of rocks being shifted aside behind them both. However, after a few minutes of trudging through the dull-grey darkness, everything was dead silent.

Well, except the fact that their feet were leaving echoing footsteps around them.

Tea peered around cautiously; after experiencing one of Kaiba Corp.'s…experiments, Tea was very nervous. She glued her eyes onto the back of Yami's head, feeling slightly secure to know that a brave, handsome, kind, strong, protective, determined, powerful being was with her. She watched him limp ahead of her.

Wait...

Limp? Why was he limping?

Tea gasped as she noticed the deep gash in the back of his leg; on the opposite side of the kneecap. It looked…horrible. Very painful.

And Yami wasn't complaining. He just kept going ahead, ignoring the pain that was shooting through his body with every step.

"Yami…your leg, it's-"

"-Nothing," Yami finished shortly. "Nothing I can't handle. I'll be fine."

"…It looks very sore," Tea persisted worriedly.

"I appreciate your concern, Tea, but don't worry about me," Yami said, his voice calm. "I'll be fine."

"But-you're limping!"

Yami stopped. Tea stopped too. Yami turned to face Tea, whose eyes were shining with worry. It was funny how the only thing he could see were those beautiful gems, piercing through the darkness…

"If you must know, my leg is being a real inconvenience," Yami said quietly. "It hurts like a thousand needles are charging into my leg. But right now, there's our friends who are worse off then me. Ryou's unconscious; Yugi's injured; and Tomb Robber is probably in ten times more pain then me." Tea noticed the guilty look in his eyes, but she ignored it. She didn't want to bother Yami about how he was feeling if he was so determined to ignore his own worries at the moment.

"So, I ask you: please, let's just stick to our task at hand. I can take a simple wound on my leg. If you're injured, I'll carry you." Tea blushed brightly at the offer, but knew she wouldn't admit if she was hurt. After all, she didn't want to put more pressure on Yami's injury. "Now, shall we keep moving?"

"Yes!" Tea said determinedly. Yami sighed with relief, turned around, and limped onwards. Tea followed close behind.

They walked on in silence for a while. Not that it was an awkward silence; they were busy avoiding sharp rocks that stuck out from the walls and from tripping over rocks in the ground.

They came to a fork in the path. "Which way should we go?" Tea asked aloud.

Yami glanced in both directions. "Well, something's telling me should go right." Yami indicated the path on their right.

"Okay, we'll try that path," Tea said firmly, and they set off in that direction.

They walked in silence for a couple of minutes, until they came to a round, open room.

"What is this?" Yami mused aloud, glancing around. "I…think we've been here before."

Tea took a step forward. She felt something icy and wet trickle down her neck(2), and then she remembered.

"Isn't this where we ended up when Joey chased Bakura down the mountain? And we had to climb down here so that we weren't stung by the bees?" Tea didn't need an answer, but she got one anyway.

"Yes! That's right!" Tea was glad she had figured it out on her own.

"Well, we've figured the way out!" Tea said brightly. "C'mon, let's go check on the others and help them move the rocks out of their path."

"Yes, let's go."

They proceeded back up the path they had come from, moving a bit slower since it was slightly up-hill. When they saw the rocks insight, they moved a bit quicker.

And found it was still blocked off.

"Joey, Tristan, haven't you finished moving them yet?" Tea groaned, staring at the rocks moodily.

"Hey! Id's no' dat easy ya know! We had ta help Bakura firs'!"

"Is he okay?" Yami asked.

"Um…I dunno. He looks in priddy bad shape, bu' I dink he'll be okay."

"Okay, good."

"Hi, Yami!' Said a cheery voice.

"Yugi! Are you okay?" There was more concern in his voice this time.

"Yeh, I'm okay!"

"Any injuries?"

"Um…just this cut on the side of my head and I think I have a black-eye. It hurts, a bit…"

"I'm sorry I couldn't-"

"No, it's not your fault."

"But, Yugi-"

"It's not your fault!" Yugi said firmly, and there was the sound of rocks being shifted on the other side. "Hey, Yami!" Yami and Tea looked up to see a set of round eyes and a small hand waving at them.

"Yes! You've managed to find an opening!" Yami cheered, limping over to the small opening. "Tea, Joey, Tristan, start moving rocks over here."

"You got it!"

"Mr. Kaiba, we can't get through," reported one of his guards.

"What? What's-? Oh, damn it! Must have been the D.U.D.A."

"What's that?"

"It's my Dangerously-Unnatural-Dislikeable-Avalanche that was set off a moment ago."

"Oh! I see…hey, that sounds like doo-da!"

"I need a new name for that…" Kaiba muttered.

"Alrigh'!" Joey cried happily, as both parties on each side of the wall were now capable of seeing their whole bodies. "Long time no see!"

"Yugi!" Yami rushed forward to his lighter half. They all grinned.

"Glad everyone's united again!" Tea cheered, watching Yami fuss and inspect Yugi's injuries. It was kind of sweet…Yugi just rolled his eyes at Yami and hugged him tight enough so that his arms were jammed to their sides.

"Yugi! What are-?"

"Yami, that's enough. I'm fine," Yugi said gently, smiling.

"You're-!"

"Yami," Yugi said sternly.

Yami sighed in defeat. Yugi loosened the hug slightly and allowed Yami to return the hug.

"See? Isn't it easier to not get worked up over things?" Yugi said, sounding slightly amused.

Yami smiled grimly and didn't reply.

Yami released the hug and turned to look at everyone.

Tristan had a cut on his lip, which was bleeding rather badly. Joey's hands and knees were grazed and were a light pink. They weren't bleeding horribly, but it looked as if it stung.

Tristan had Ryou leaning up against his shoulder. A very nasty bruise was on the side of his head, and he was still unconscious. Marik sat further away from them, and he looked unscathed. He was poking at a rock in front of him moodily, looking very bored.

The Toon Alligator was no where in sight.

Bakura looked a mess. There were dark, purple bruises on his arms, face, neck and legs. His clothes were torn, and blood was oozing out of the cuts across his stomach and chest. His left eyelid was black, obviously badly bruised. His left leg was sticking out weirdly, and looked broken. Poor Bakura.

Funny how only Ryou and his yami were the only ones unconscious, Yeh, funny that!

"Come on, we need to get moving. We can't hang in here all day!" Tristan said, hoisting Ryou up onto his back. "Someone carry Bakura and we can get moving."

"Fine." Joey approached the unconscious form nervously. He doubted whether Bakura appreciated being carried by a mortal. Maybe Yami should do it? Joey looked at Yami hopefully, and noticed how he was limping.

'Nah, wha' could id hurd?' Joey lifted Bakura complicatedly onto his back and walked slowly and carefully over to the others. If he tripped and Bakura woke up from the shock – he was a dead man.

"Mr. Kaiba, our workers just cannot get through! Those punks are going to get away…I'm sorry sir." The guard bowed apologetically.

"Stupid, D.U.D.A," Kaiba growled, punching a nearby wall.

"What's a D.U.D.A? Hey – that sounds like doo-da!"

"I need a vacation," Kaiba groaned. "Wait…"

"HACHOO!"

"Oh, not again!" Tristan grunted, keeping Ryou secure on his back. Joey glared.

"Id's no' my – sniffle – faul' dat I have dis stupid allergic – HACHOO! – reac'ion ta dus' – HACHOO! HACHOO!" Joey nearly dropped Bakura, and hoisted him up more securely.

"Marik, where did you get that book?" Yugi asked suddenly, staring at Marik.

Marik held a book in his hands. It was open to a certain page and it appeared to be a children's book, as there were pop-ups sticking out of it.

"I'm sensing Shadow Magic…" Yami said quietly, stopping to get a better look at the book.

"Marik, what's that book called?" Yugi said anxiously.

Marik frowned and flipped the book over to gaze at the title.

'TOON WORLD.'

"That must be where that Toon Alligator went!" Yami cried. "He must have nearly been crushed from all the rubble, so he retreated into the book!"

"I found it lying close by, so I decided to read it," Marik explained. "And I just love pop-ups!" Marik giggled, opening the book up and a castle stuck out of the book. They all sweat-dropped.

"O…kay…" Joey said slowly.

"Let's keep moving," Yami said urgently, and limped ahead, Tea close behind.

There was no other sound other than the occasional sneeze. Everyone was too busy keeping their eyes on the leaders of the group, so that they wouldn't get lost. Joey was slightly nervous, as blood from Bakura's wounds were staining his shirt. They hoped he wasn't too badly injured.

Though he certainly looked it.

"There's the fork!" Tea said, pointing ahead of them. "It was the right path, wasn't it, Yami?"

"Well, obviously," Tristan said sarcastically. "We need to take the right path to get out of here, not the wrong one!"

"She means the right path, not the left one," Yami said coolly. Tristan flushed slightly.

"Oh…sorry…"

"It's okay." Tea smiled.

"Okay, we go right." They walked down the path.

"HACHOO!"

"Here's the place we were before, Tea." Yami looked around the room they had entered. His eyes widened. "YUGI! OUR GUITAR!"

"What?"

"It's our guitar!" Yami pointed at the object excitedly, which was inside the tattered guitar case. "Yes!" Yami was about to run over to it, but was pulled back.

"Yami, are you crazy?" Tristan said seriously.

"What? No, Marik-"

"You can't just run off from where we are!" Yugi cried. "Look at how far up we are!"

Yami raised an eyebrow and looked over the edge. There was a long drop from where they were, and Yami had just been about to run straight off. Yami paled.

"Okay, maybe we should think this out…"

Kaiba sighed as all his guards and the boy with the midnight blue eyes, Mokuba, sung, "doo-da! Doo-da!" over and over again, putting in their own dance moves to their song. Kaiba was fidgeting uncontrollably, eye twitching. He was trying his best to ignore the horrible song that was echoing around the room. He couldn't yell at them; Mokuba would be sad.

But he was about to lose his mind!

Coming to a decision, Kaiba got up. His guards and his brother looked at him curiously. Kaiba took a deep breath, and said calmly, "I'm going to bed. Good-night." And he strode out of the office. Mokuba and the guards paused for a moment, then started dancing and singing again.

"Seto left; party on! Doo-da! Doo-da!"

"Yami, take it easy on your leg! Be careful!" Yugi said exasperatedly, as they climbed down the 'rock staircase'. Yami's leg had given an odd sort of wobble and he had nearly collapsed.

"That coming from the one who told me to not get worked up over things," Yami muttered, stumbling slightly. "Come on, we're almost at the bottom."

Yugi grumbled things under his breath as they continued climbing down. When they reached the bottom of the cavern, Yami limped quickly over to the battered guitar case.

"Yes! Yes! Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes!"

"Geez, Yam', id's jus' a guidar!" Joey cried, looking half-worried half-amused by the former Pharaoh's antics.

"Yes, and I've missed it," Yami replied, unzipping the guitar case. He pulled out the 'miracle of life' and began to strum a few notes. "Good, it still sounds great!"

"Now, let's go!" Tristan said impatiently, carrying Ryou over to the exit.

"Yami, how do you plan on getting our guitar out of here?" Yugi asked anxiously. "Remember the other time when we were down here, and the guitar wouldn't of been able to fit through that tunnel?" Yugi indicated the exit Tristan and Ryou were currently climbing up – well, Tristan being the one who was climbing.

"The tunnel has widened," Yami said casually, glancing at it. "Some of the rock must have eroded or something. Anyway, I'm certain I can get it up this time," Yami said brightly, strapping the guitar onto his back. "Let's go!"

Joey grumbled to himself and tried to hold Bakura on his back more securely. He was about to climb up when he was shoved aside by Marik. Marik cackled insanely and crawled at top speed up the tunnel.

"YOU WELCHER!" Joey roared, voice echoing about the cavern. "Geez…" Joey continued to mutter under his breath and began to climb up the tunnel. Yugi followed after, the Toon World book tucked under his arm. Tea was about to go up, when Yami called to her.

"Tea, hold up!"

Tea stopped and turned towards him, watching as her crush limped over to her, fiddling with the straps across his shoulder. "What is it, Yami?" Tea said curiously.

"Um…" Tea was surprised; Yami always seemed to know what he was talking about. She had never heard him start off a conversation with 'um'. "I was just…um…" He did it again!

Then suddenly, Yami leaned in towards her and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek. From there, heat spread across her entire face, lighting it up like a Christmas light.

There was awkward silence. Yami – who had gone rather pink across the face – cleared his throat.

"Um…what was that for?" Te asked in disbelief, her face very warm.

Yami's pink face faded away and he smirked. He walked past her and began to climb. However, he turned back to face the confused brunette. Smirk still on his face.

"We're even now."
