Chapter 4: Pool Party and a lesson of never giving Ryou more than one cup of coffee to drink

"NOOO!" Someone yelled. Duke suddenly came tumbling down the basement stairs. Marik grabbed Yami and pulled him into the other room.

Duke got up and dusted himself off. "I told you already Tea! No one wants to fuck you!" he yelled up the stairs.

"Friendship, ATTACK!" The box to the twister game came flying down and smacked Duke in the head.

"How about we go for a swim?" Ryou said rushing everyone out of the room. After the same thing happening twice, he thought it was time to stop playing twister.

Duke rubbed his head and noticed Yugi lying on the couch. "Hey Yugi! I was wondering where you were." He looked down at Yugi.

"Yugi?" He poked him with the twister box.

"Oh no! He's dead!" Duke said.

"But what's this?" He saw that Yugi was breathing slowly. "I'll save you!" He grabbed Yugi and ran out of the basement and out of the house.

Outside, Isis, Odion and Dartz sat under the shade in lawn chairs, watching the others. Kaiba sat at the edge of the pool in his swim trunks; of course they had the logo of KC on them, next to Serenity. Mokuba swam around, splashing Joey and Tristan every now and then when they weren't looking. Tea was lying on a towel, sunbathing and reading a magazine. Ryou slowly got into the water.

"Cold, cold, cold, cold." He said moving around. Bakura did a cannon ball, sending a wave of water over Ryou and Mokuba's heads.

"BAKURA!"

"What?"

"STREAMERS!"

Bakura's eye twitched as he sunk his head slowly into the water while glaring at Ryou.

Everyone else blinked and looked at each other then shrugged and went back to whatever they were doing.

"Hey look, there's Duke." Mokuba pointed inside the house. Duke saw them and started for them. Sadly, he didn't notice the sliding glass door wasn't open and ran right smack into it.

"Ooo, that had to hurt." Joey said.

"That's something I'd think you'd have done mutt." Kaiba said.

Recovering from the collision, Duke opened the door and ran out. "You guys! I have some bad news!"

"You lost your friendship dice!"

"YOU'RE MARRIED TO KAIBA?"

"You saw me killing wheeler?"

"Worse! I found Yugi and I took him to the hospital and … and they said he was brain dead!"

"Damn it … now I won't be able to beat Yugi in a duel." Kaiba muttered.

"Big brother!" Mokuba looked at him.

"Oh no! Poor Yug!"

Duke nodded. "The doctor said Yugi'll either stay on life support for the rest of his life, or we let him…"

"I think that's a choice the pharaoh should make."

Ryou looked at Bakura. "Yeah…It should be Yami's choice."

Ryou floated over to Bakura, who took him into his arms.

"Speaking of Yami, where is he?" Makuba asked.

"He's most likely with Marik." Tea said. Everyone looked at her.

"Tea?"

"No, its me, Malik." Tea said.

Isis walked over to Tea. "Did Marik do what I think he did Malik?"

Tea nodded. "Sister, you have to return me back to my body."

"I will brother."

The next thing everyone knew, they were following Tea to the park. "He left my body there." Tea said pointing to a bush.

Bakura and Duke pulled out Malik's body. Isis told them to put him down. Then turned to Tea. "You know what to do Malik."

Tea fall unconscious and Isis started to read from the book. Bakura had his arms wrapped around Ryou's waist as he watched Maliks millennium rod shine and a wind picked up. Just like what had happened to Ryou. Bakura looked down at Ryou.

"Malik?" Isis kneeled down next to Malik. She helped him sit up.

"Marik is planning on killing the pharaoh." Malik said as he held his forehead.

Ryou looked over at a small Coffee stand. "Something to drink could help lighten the mood." He said quietly to himself. He slid out of Bakura's arms and pulled out his wallet. He bought a few cups of coffee and brought them over to the group.

"No thanks Ryou."

"I don't drink street coffee."

"I'm to young to drink coffee."

"Yuck!"

"What's coffee?"

Ryou sighed.

"Let's go find the pharaoh." Someone suggested.

The group all started back for Ryou's house. Walking back into the house, they found it to have been growing dark outside. Malik had explained that he had heard his other half talking about killing the pharaoh many times before, and when he saw that Ryou and Bakura had been able to separate into two bodies, he thought he could get rid of Malik for good. Then without Malik around to stop him, and Yugi gone also, he could finally be rid of the pharaoh once and for all.

With thee lights on, everyone started to search for the Pharaoh and Marik. Ryou, however, went into the kitchen and poured a truck load of sugar into the cups of coffee. Then added milk and started to gulp them down.

"Yami! Here pharaoh, pharaoh, pharaoh!" Joey yelled out. Kaiba smacked him in the head.

"Yugi's not a dog like you, mutt."

"You know what Kaiba!"

"What is it Wheeler?"

Joey grabbed Kaiba by his jacket and threw him into a closet, then ran inside and slammed the door shut. Tea looked at the closet then shrugged.

"Friendship will break through between them sometime."

Tristan looked at her. "I think it'll be more than friendship between those two."

"Ryou, when are we eating dinner? You're the woman of the house after all." Bakura asked. He looked down at his hikari. "…Ryou?"

Ryou's eye twitched as he tossed the last -now empty- coffee cup into the air, he looked at Bakura and smiled devilishly. "Oh Bakura!"

"Uh, Ryou?" Bakura backed up. "What are you going to do with that frying pan?" He screamed and ran as Ryou slammed the frying pan down into the wall where Bakura had just been standing.

"Come back here!"

Bakura ran into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. He heard the shower going. He walked over and pulled open the shower curtain. He let out a shriek and ran for the door.

"My eyes! Oh Ra help me!"

Tea threw a bar of soap at him. He threw open the door and took off. Ryou came after him laughing insanely.

"Come here Bakura! Your 'woman' wants to have a word with you!" Ryou yelled.

Out of no where a hand grabbed Bakura by the collar of his shirt and pulled him into the basement. Bakura looked up at Dartz. "Thank Ra!"

"Come on." Dartz said walking towards the other room.

"So I mean, when I get mad, my veins just pop up, you've seen it. Anyway, it's annoying but adds to the effect of looking insane." Marik said. "Am I right or what?"

"It does, man, that's pure genius!" Yami said.

Bakura walked in to see the pharaoh, still without a shirt on, sitting near Marik. Both were drinking hot cocoa. Dartz sat down and picked up a mug. The three looked back at Bakura. "Grab a chair." Marik said.

Bakura did and Yami handed him a mug of cocoa. "So, pharaoh … you aren't mad about me getting you drunk are you?"

"Not at all thief." The pharaoh said.

They jumped when they suddenly heard the door open and then slam closed. Kaiba walked over to them and sat down. "Humph."

"We're now considered the best at killing anyone group!" Tristan said. "The B.A.K.A group!"

"You're the baka! Get the hell out of here damn it!" Dartz yelled, he pulled out his seal of Orichalcos card and stole Tristans soul.

"When the hell did he get in here anyway?"

"…Plot hole?"

"That works."

"So, I know I'm confused, why are we all hanging out down here?" Bakura asked.

"Well, Wheeler got on my nerves." Kaiba said, "And when I tried to send my blue-eyes to hurt him Mokuba stopped me."

"I want to kill all humans." Dartz said.

"I want the god cards." Marik said, "So I can rule the world."

"And as for me … Ryou is on a caffeine high and tried to kill me." Bakura said. He looked at Yami. "What about you pharaoh? Why are you down here with us?"

Yami looked at him. "Yugi left me all alone."

Marik smirked slightly at the pharaohs' words.

Kaiba pulled out his briefcase. "Well, how about we test my new equipment?"

"But how do we get it onto them? None of them trust us … none of us buy the pharaoh."

Yami stood up. "Hand them over Kaiba, I'll do it."

Kaiba gave the pharaoh his briefcase. "Get them to put the device into their ears." The pharaoh nodded and went upstairs.

"There you are Yami!" Joey said immediately walking over to him.

"Hey there Joey!" He looked down at one of the ear pieces. "Hey, I was wondering if you could do me a favor and try this out? It … uh…"

"Sure thing pal!" Yami blinked and handed over the device. 'That was easy'

He watched for a moment as Joey put the ear piece into his ear. A red light went on and Joey collapsed to the ground. Next he found Tea.

"It uh … gives lots of friend tips and friend-tastic ideas for games!"

"OO!"

Then Duke, "It has … uh … great ways to get a good roll in the dice?"

Then Isis, Malik, Mokuba, well, I think you get the picture. The pharaoh watched Ryou drop to the floor. He looked around, that was everyone right? He swallowed hard as he walked to the hospital.

"I don't know if this will work or not, but this is for leaving me Yugi." He said placing on of the ear pieces into Yugi's ear. He picked Yugi up and brought him back to Ryou's home. He set Yugi down and looked at the last device in the briefcase. He picked it up and put it into his ear.
