When next Yami had any clue what was going on Yugi was shaking him by the shoulders.
"Yami, wake up!"
"What's the matter Yugi?"
"Hurry, while Tea's still brushing her teeth."
"What's going on?"
"Did you notice anything when coming home last night?"
"No, why?"
"Good. What time did you come home last night?"
"About 1am."
"Oh."
"What kind of things might I have noticed?"
"Uhhh...that...the... kittens were gone." Yugi stuttered.
"Yeah, Ryo brought them home."
"Ok, good."
"Sure, then why would you ask behind Tea's back?"
"I'm not doing it behind her. I was just asking you privately, so Tea wouldn't worry."
"Right." Tea came in while Yami was wondering what the heck was going on.
"Good morning Yami." Tea said cheery like.
"Good morning Tea." Yami responded.
"Hey Yugi, come here for a second." Tea said leaving the room.
"Coming Tea." Yugi left the room. Outside they were talking. Yami heard,
"Last night I wanted to show you the pictures I brought that I kept all this time, but I forgot." Tea said, and then he heard them going into the room that would be his. Lynne and Danielle jumped off of Yugi's bed and went into the room next door. Then Yami heard the door shut.
He heard them laughing through the wall. The walls were thin, and the rooms were right next to eachother. Then he heard silence. Yami was wondering what was going on. It was definitely strange. He shrugged and lay down on Yugi's bed. Suddenly he heard shouting. Tea's shouting to be specific. He couldn't make out what she was saying.
"WHO DID IT THEN!" Tea stormed downstairs. Then Yugi walked out of the room. He sighed, and was about to walk downstairs. But Yami came out of the room he was in and stopped him.
"Yugi, what's up with Tea?"
"WHO KNOWS WHAT MY FAVORITE FOOD IS AND CAN MAKE IT FOR BREAKFAST FOR ME!" Tea shouted from downstairs.
"Come on, let's go calm her down." Yugi said, walking downstairs. Yami followed for answers.
"Tea, can you please calm down?"
"Oh, I'm fine Yugi, but you don't have to take it from me, you can just read about it tonight!"
"Yugi, what's going on?" Yami whispered to Yugi.
"You two, sit!" Tea commanded. Yugi and Yami immediately sat down on the couch. They were very scared of what Tea was capable of doing.
"Tea, what's wrong?" Yami asked.
"Quiet, only speak when spoken to." She was going nuts.
"Now, which one of you know anything about this?" Tea held up a little pink diary. Yami immediately recognized it. "It wasn't where I left it and the kittens found it under the bed." I have no clue how it got there. Only one of you two could know, so who was it?"
Yami was scared. Yugi was scared. There was nothing scarier than Tea when she was angry. In fact, there is just nothing scarier than any female when they're angry. Heh, I love being scary!
"Yugi, did you read my diary?"
"No ma'am, honest, I don't know anything about it. I didn't even know you had one."
"Yugi, you're so sweet and innocent, I could never be mad at you." Tea completely changed her tone, which made Yugi happy, and he sighed of relief. Her tone suddenly changed back.. "Except when you read my diary!" Tea shouted again, making Yugi nervous and scared out of his wits.
" Did you read my diary?" Tea shouted at Yami.
"No ma'am, honest!" Yami imitated Yugi, hoping it would work. But he stopped right there, because the rest would be lying.
"Did you know anything about it?" Tea asked him. He was thinking, 'Rats!'
"Yes ma'am."
"For how long?"
"Since this morning."
"How did you find out?"
"I saw it."
"Where?"
"In your treasure box."
"What were you doing in there?"
"Looking for you, I guess."
"In a box?"
"No ma'am, I saw Yugi on the couch and I went into your room to make sure you were in there."
"I wasn't, so you went snooping through my stuff?"
"No, I saw the box, I figured it was a music box and I wanted to hear the music."
"And you had to go through it to hear the music?"
"No I just saw a diary, and I took it out so I wouldn't be tempted to read it. Then I just forgot to put it back."
"You took it out and put it under my bed?"
"No, the cats came in and scared me. I must've dropped it."
"Did you see anything else in there?"
"Yes, a notebook, and some pictures,"
"Did you look at the pictures?"
"Uhhh..."
"Well?"
"Yes ma'am." Yami replied, shaking of fear. Tea looked furious. Then she paced back and forth yelling something about privacy. But she didn't seem as angry as before, she seemed to explaining in a yelling tone.
Then she looked at Yami and said, "Do you understand?"
"Yes ma'am." He was slightly relieved at her knew tone.
"You two are dismissed." Tea said walking to the stairs. Then she looked at Yami and said, "Wash your hair out already."
Yami wondered what she meant by that. He was thinking that she meant his and Yugi's tri-colored-spiky hair is unnatural. He felt insulted.
"Yami you must've been really tired last night to forget about your own hair." Yugi stared at Yami's hair for a second. Yami still wondered what they were talking about. Then Yugi got up and walked upstairs. Yami wanted to ask what the heck he was talking about. Instead he decided to go into the bathroom and see what the heck he was talking about.
And he did. He freaked out. It was a nightmare all over again. His hair was still all black from last night. He stuck his head under the bathroom faucet and turned the water on. Then he grabbed a random bottle that was on the ledge, which lucky for him was shampoo. He squirt some in his hair and rubbed it in. He really wanted his hair back to normal, or at least as normal as it gets.
He had his eyes closed so soap wouldn't get in. When he figured he had scrubbed it all out, he opened his eyes and saw the black liquid going down the drain .He turned off the water and lifted his head up. He shook his head to get more water out. He looked in the mirror and was satisfied to see that the only part that was black was the part that was supposed to be black. Also, is face looked more colored. He now looked as if he was alive. He rubbed his hair with a towel. Then he got his routine startling by the the kittens who popped in and meowed. Yami dropped the towel and turned around to see them, standing there, as if they were sooooo innocent. He knew what was going on in their heads. So he walked off before they could do something else to make him miserable.
He went upstairs. He heard Yugi and Tea laughing again through the door. He just went into Yugi's room and sat on the bed. He was kind of bored. Then he saw a piece of paper on Yugi's desk.
Yami raised his eyebrow. He got up and walked to the desk. He immediately recognized the writing as his own. He noticed it was some sort of list.
He looked at the things it said and laughed to himself. It was pretty strange. He remembered that he wrote it early that morning. Obviously it was a To Do List, but some of the things on it didn't make sense. That's why he wasn't entirely sure. By the looks of it, when he's tired he can see into the future, because according to the list, he planned to get yelled at by Tea. He was surprised it was even readable. The list said the following:

The list was pretty odd. He had no idea how he could think these things up. He wondered how the heck could he get tied to a tree branch. He shrugged and went through the list again, crossing out the things he already did. He took the list and knocked on Tea's bedroom door. Yugi answered.
"Yugi, this is pretty strange."
"What is?"
"This list I wrote earlier this morning, it seems to know everything that's going to happen today."
"Let me see it." Yugi said. Yami handed him the paper. Yugi read it, and at first he was shocked, then he started to laugh. He gave the list back to Yami. "Did you write this just know?"
"No, I wrote it and left it on the desk earlier this morning. But I don't remember writing these things. I remember thinking that I wanted to plan exactly what I was going to do, and if anyone needs to know what I've been doing and what I plan on doing. But I didn't think I'd plan so precisely."
"I think you just want to do something stupid and get away with it by saying those are the only things you've done today."
"Why would I do something stupid?"
"Mid-life crisis. Maybe as a pharaoh you died before you ever had one, so you're having one know." Tea answered while Yami was cursing her in his head for how much sense that makes and doesn't make at the same time and that Yugi will believe her over him.
"What exactly is a mid-life crisis. I know that none of my people ever had one." Yami asked.
"It's when you get to a point in your life when you think you're going to die soon." Yugi answered.
"Some people buy fancy cars, or motorcycles, and some people do crazy things to prove they're still young and daring. I was just wondering if you might go through one in this life time." Tea said. Unfortunately for Yami, she's still making enough sense to believe. He figured that neither of them would believe him. Then the phone rang.
"I'll get that." Yami was only sure where one phone was. He ran downstairs and picked up the phone in the kitchen. He had to avoid stepping on cat food. "Hello." Yami set down his list by the phone in case he needed to write something down.
"He-hello." The person on the other end stuttered. It sounded like Ryo. "Is this the Muto's residence?"
"Yes, is this Ryo?"
Yes." Ryo answered. He sounded scared. "Is this the pharaoh?"
"Yes."
"Good, I need your help. He is..." Yami heard something crash in the background. "I need you over here right now."
"What's wrong?"
Before Ryo answered Yami heard something else crash. "Please, just hurry." The line went dead. Yami was really worried.
"Yugi, something's wrong at Ryo's house. I'm going over there." Yami hollered up the stairs.
"What's wrong?" Yugi asked, looking over the banister at Yami.
"I don't know, I'm going to check it out."
"Should I come?"
"No, it could be dangerous."
"Fine, just be careful"
"I will." Yami said while putting on his shoes. He grabbed his favorite long black coat and walked out the door. He realized he hadn't changed out of the clothes he wore last night. But he kept walking because this sounded like an emergency. He just put on his coat and hoped no one would notice.
He was trying to remember what was important. What was going on? What was crashing at the Bakura's? What's up with Bakura? And was it just him, or did this all fit perfectly into that list? He slapped himself on the head. He left the list by the phone. He didn't want Tea to read it because she thinks he wrote it not too long ago, and he didn't want her to think that he planned for her to yell at him. "Please Tea, don't use the phone!"
Finally, he arrived. He was about to know on the door, when Ryo opened it suddenly. He was out of breath, leaning on the door just to stay standing.
"What's going on?" Yami heard things crashing.
"Come in, quickly." Ryo went in and walked towards the living room. Yami came in and shut the door. He followed Ryo into the living room. Yami saw Ryo dodge a few random flying items. He figured that was his cue. He looked to see what the items were, but it was too dark. It figures; the lamp was broken.
Yami looked back up, just in time to catch a candy dish. It was a lucky catch because it was Ryo's favorite candy dish, and it was made of glass. If it hit him though, it would have hurt, whether it broke or not. Yami was about to set the candy dish on the coffee table, but that was gone.
"Thank you, if that broke, I don't know what I would do if that broke." Ryo set down a vase.
"Let Bakura starve, I guess." Yami was looking around for the source of the problem, but things kept flying at him, more things flew towards him than Ryo. Yami noticed there was some sort of black light surrounding each item. Of course, shadow powers, which meant...
"Ha, ha, pharaoh! That's why the dish was full when you caught it." Bakura!
"Yeah, how does that happen anyway? Isn't there some sort of gravity law that things have to fall?" Yami asked while dodging a scented candle.
"I'm not an idiot, I was trying to hit you, not lose a whole, just filled dish of candy." Yami had no idea where Bakura's voice was coming from.
"Yeah, that's the third time I've filled it this morning." Ryo said while jumping to catch a glass figurine.
"I think he's had enough sugar."
"I'm not refilling it anymore until I have this under control."
"What is this anyway?" Yami still had no idea what was going on.
"Go to the TV room." He headed there himself. Yami followed. The TV room was just the section of the living room that had the TV. Since the living room was so large, so you could call the section it's own room. Both Ryo and Bakura got jobs and moved out of the apartment into a nice house. And believe it or not, Bakura has maintained his job, really!
But the part that lost everyone else is that, he works at a hospital, a real one! Bakura is a freaking doctor! He doesn't work behind the counter, he's not a nurse, he's a freaking doctor! Confused? Well, you would understand that Bakura is very intelligent. Got that? Good! Bakura could probably be a scientist if he wanted to, but to him modern day science is just not important. There would be just too much for him to learn, and he'd take the time to do that, if he felt like it.
He could also be an archeologist, with his knowledge of the past. But he thinks it's lame to do research on things he already knows. He wanted to use the stuff he knows, and he knows a lot about the human body. If he wasn't already a thief, he probably could've been a healer back in Egypt. He is very smart, and talented. And I, the authoress, imagine that he'd look fine in a white coat. All female nurses would faint. But the one thing Bakura hates is that he has to put his hair in a ponytail. Still, he looks pretty fine.
One might think that he would become a doctor just to kill people. I would too, but it turns out that he found something in his heart that likes saving people. He hasn't had a person die on him yet. Ryo is surprised by all of this himself. He got a job working behind the counter at the same hospital. Ryo has all of the qualities Bakura has to be a doctor, he's smart, talented, likes saving people, looks good in a white coat, but he doesn't have the heart to see people die. I, still the authoress, wouldn't believe all of this if I weren't writing it myself. I would not let Bakura with a knife anywhere towards me. But I like the idea of them going to work together.
At this point, Yami has dodged and caught over ten items. He lost count. Things were out of hand, and Yami knew that 'outofhand' was Bakura's middle name. Actually, Yami didn't know his middle name. Then again, what was his middle name? Do Egyptians have middle names? Yami was thinking of very random things. Almost as random as almost getting hit by a TV that's flying towards you, but then it stops right before hitting you and flies back where it came from and you can hear Bakura saying, "Wait, I still need that."
When Yami finally saw what was going on, his jaw dropped, It wasn't the scene he had imagined, at all! He imagined Bakura, standing there, throwing items with his shadow powers in a temper tantrum. But that wasn't the scene what so ever!
Bakura was sitting down on the floor, a foot away from the TV He didn't even blink. And the funniest part is, he was holding a playstation controller! Yami realized that Bakura was playing video games, well, as far as Yami knew it was some sort of electronical-brainwashing device. But what did he care, it was just Bakura. On the screen was a woman with brown hair that was in a braid. She was wearing a blueish-greenish sleeveless shirt and brown shorts and had a brown backpack on. Yami wondered who she was and what she was doing on the screen.
"He's hooked on this game. He's been playing it since early this morning, right after Inu Yasha. When he loses he gets mad and throws things." Ryo explained.
"Then he must lose a lot."
"After a while I was just trying to hit you." Bakura smirked.
"I don't even know how he got this playstation 2 and all of these games." Ryo sounded stressed.
"You know how I always buy a Dr. Pepper before Inu Yasha, right? Well, I saw a game called Tomb Raider. So I bought the game. Then I realized that there were sequels to the game, so I got those too. Then I saw there were two Tomb Raider movies, so I got those. Then I realized that you can't play the games if you don't have a Playstation, and you can't watch the movie if you don't have a DVD player, so I got a Playstation 2. It plays the games and the DVD's. Then I realized that Inu Yasha was almost on, so I rushed home. I only bought this stuff to compare Tomb Raiders. I think I'm a much better Tomb Raider." He paused and switched to a British accent. "She only does it for the sport." Bakura said all that while never once looking away from the screen, and still no blinking!
Yami never thought that Bakura could be this nuts over something that isn't some sort of mystical magical item that has enough power to take over the world. But wait, Yami isn't even sure what this...Playstation 2 is. He wondered if there really is something he doesn't know about this...console. Yami looked at the so-called, Playstation 2 and didn't see anything special about it. Well, besides the fact that there was a little green light on it, it was magnificent. Yep, technology is a wonderful thing.
"How could you even afford-" Yami began to say.
"Doctor." Ryo interrupted.
"Right." Yami crossed his arms. He wasn't sure anymore what the problem was.
"Anyway, he hasn't gotten off since Inu Yasha ended. It's driving me crazy. And he's wrecking the house, and even demanding that I make breakfast!"
"Hey, I bought you a Playstation 2. I think breakfast is necessary to start paying me back."
"Start paying you back? You bought it for yourself."
"Yes, but I'll let you play it if you make me breakfast."
"I let you live here for free."
"You made me get a job and I made you get a real house. It was funny, you just said to get a job, you suggested Burger World, and now you're looking at a doctor-"
"Playing video games while you should be at work-"
"So should you."
"I can't, you have the only set of car keys for the car, and I don't know where they are!"
"Wait a while, maybe it'll be one of my flying objects."
"I can't! You can't! People are expecting us at the hospital!" "Darn patients. Why can't they wait 'till a doctor wants to work?"
"They're dying. What I don't understand is, I thought you liked seeing people die."
"Hey, if I am to enjoy a mortal dying. It's going to be by my own hand, not some stupid disease or injury that I can stop."
"Oh, you do care." Yami put his hand on his chest to seem touched.
"Not for you, ex-pharaoh. You'd die a horrible and painful death, I'd make sure of it."
"Wouldn't you rather make me owe you my life?"
"When the time comes I'll see what I'd rather go for. Oh, and I do mean when."
"Right, and you expect your candy dish back." Yami held up the candy dish with all the colorful little candies. Mmmmm...candy!
"Rats."
Then the phone began to ring...wherever it was. "Is that the only thing you haven't tossed?" Yami asked, looking at Bakura.
"I think he did after I got off the phone with you. I'll have to find it."
"There it is, I'll get it since I'm closer." Yami went to the phone and picked it up off the ground. He answered it and said, "Bakura residence."
"Hey pharaoh, what are you doing at Ryo's place?"
"Saving him."
"You know what? I am so tired of you bragging about how you saved the world, I'm not evil anymore!"
"Shut up Marik."
"I'll let that slide."
"Sure, now what do you want?"
"First tell me what you're doing at Ryo's house."
"Saving him, the tomb robber's out of control...again."
"Oh, wow, what a shock that is." Marik said plainly. "Could you slap him for me?"
"Don't have to tell me twice." Marik heard a really loud slap on the other end and Yami saying, "Marik says hi."
"Thanks, now can you give the phone to Ryo?"
"Sure." Yami handed the phone to Ryo and Ryo went into the kitchen to talk. Yami went up to Bakura and kicked him. Bakura just said ow and forgot about it. Yami kept kicking him and Bakura had the same reaction every time. So Yami continued, because it was funny. But after a while Bakura snapped. Yami kicked him and Bakura jumped up and grabbed Yami by the collar. He held Yami up so that his feet were dangling.
"Would you stop annoying me if I asked nicely and said please?"
"Would you ever try to ask nicely and say please?"
"Good point. But there's nothing I enjoy more than seeing you beg."
"Yeah, well now I've gotten you off the video games."
"Yeah, too bad you can't keep me off."
"At least it's a start."
"Whatever."
"Don't you realize that you're a bit late for work."
"Work we don't have to go to work today, it's our day off."
"Then why is he saying that you're supposed to go to work."
"Because he's stressed. He's stressed because of me. I'm the reason he had to move into an apartment and his dad went on expeditions. So he doesn't see his father so much and he hasn't heard from him in a while and he's worried."
"Then why are you playing video games and throwing things?"
"Because it's taking his mind off this whole situation and it's keeping my mind off of it." He paused to set Yami down and save the game. Then he turned it off and turned the TV off. He sighed and said, "But I'm making sure not to brake anything important. " He stood up and faced Yami.
"What about that lamp or those crashing noises I heard?"
"Things falling over, but not braking. And I turned off the lamp and unplugged it before I threw it. But the only thing that broke was the light bulb. I already got another one to put in it. I couldn't believe that I found a perfectly good light bulb in the shadow realm." Bakura just stood there for a while, then he faced the mess that was the living room. He used his shadow powers to pick up a hacky sack that he had lying around for when he was bored. It was a hobby he picked up. He lifted the hacky sack and threw it at Yami. It hit him on the head and he glared at Bakura.
Bakura smiled innocently. Then he waved his index finger and the room was normal again. He sat on the couch. Yami was trying to hear Ryo on the phone. He couldn't hear anything Ryo was saying, so he gave up. Then he tried picking up the hacky sack with his shadow powers. He hadn't used them in a while, so he was a bit rusty at first. But then he got it. He figured Bakura practiced a lot.
"Pharaoh, the weirdest thing happened last night. I got home after dropping the kittens off at your place, and then I went to the store to get a Dr. Pepper and bought all those games. I watched Inu Yasha and when that was over I pled the video games." Bakura took a deep breath before continuing. "I played them for several hours straight. But I blacked out around six in the morning. The last thing I remember is picking up a pen from Ryo's pen set. When I came to I was on the couch as if the whole thing was a dream. But the game was still playing where I remember leaving it at."
"Did you ever find out what you did with that pen?" Now Yami was wondering if this was one of Bakura's elaborate plans.
"This morning the almighty stressed one picked up a piece of paper and nagged at me for leaving it on the floor. If I left a piece of paper on the floor I would've remembered. I took the paper from him and read it, and you'll never guess what it was-"
""A to do list?"
"A to do list." Bakura raised an eyebrow. " And you know this how?"
"The same thing happened to me."
"Really?"
"Yes. I blacked out around 6am, now I have a weird descriptive list of how my day will go."
"Yeah, my list predicts what's going to happen before they happen. Like, it predicted that I'd play video games, throw objects, throw objects at you." Bakura pulled Yami a bit closer and lowered his voice. "It even predicted that we'd be having this conversation." Bakura had sort of a nuts-kind-of-crazy look in his eyes.
Yami pulled Bakura's hand off of his jacket. "Come to think of it, mine said that too."
"But mine is really specific."
"So was mine, it even said exactly when I would take the time to cross things out."
"I know, isn't it freaky?"
"I suppose that's the word I was looking for."
"Did you bring your list?"
"No, do you know where yours is?"
"No, I lost it."
"But you just cleaned up the room."
"Yeah, but Ryo took it away. He says that I want to do something sneaky and get away with it by saying this is where I was at this time."
"Really? That's what Yugi said about me."
"Why would a goody-goody want to do something sneaky?"
"Late and early mid-life crisis."
"What's a mid-life crisis?"
"It's when you get to a point in your life when you think you're going to die."
"Oh. Then wouldn't I be going through one too?"
"Probably."
"Then you couldn't be."
"Yes! Someone believes me!"
"Back on topic, luckily, I made sure that I didn't actually let Ryo read it. It said, "Get yelled at by Ryo.'"
"For me it was Tea."
"Oh yeah, the goody-goody-school-girl moved in with you."
""Yeah, what about it?"
"Isn't it obvious? Her and that midget-hikari of yours are meant for each other. The only ones who don't see it are them."
"You have a name for everyone, don't you?"
"You have no idea."
"Actually, I think they do know it."
"Oh, and what makes you say that?"
"They're a bit close for just friends."
"How?"
"Holding hands, hugging, this morning he was holding her in his arms, and I found pictures to prove it."
"Pictures, that must mean something."
"Exactly."
"You two aren't very bright are you?" Ryo said, just walking in. Yami was pretty shocked that Ryo just said that. It was obvious that he was shocked, the expression on his face kind of gave it away.
"You think this is surprising, let's just say I don't call him a goody-goody anymore."
"You know, I'm not all that polite either." Yami said, a bit confused and still shocked.
"You hardly are, but you have good intentions."
"Well, I'm sure that a lot of the things I've said are worst than many of the things he's said."
"No, no they're not."
"As I was saying, you two clearly aren't as bright as you think you are. Yugi and Tea might not even be that serious and you could just be making a fool out of yourself. But...you could be right but you don't know how to find out."
"Says who?" Yami asked.
"Says me."
"Well, maybe I don't need to know."
"But you want to so bad."
"Yes."
"Me, being a living mortal of this generation would know how to find out."
"And why would us, being no-longer-living mortals, not know how to find out?"
"Because you don't know what signs to look for."
"I think holding hands is a good sign."
"That's just one of the many possible signs. You could be looking at one and not know it. But then again, they've known eachother so long that holding hands might not be a big deal to them."
"Fine, what's the plan?"
"We'll meet at the game shop tomorrow in the morning."
"We're not all going to have a big discussion with them or something, will we?" Bakura asked.
"Of course not, people can lie, pictures can't." Ryo answered.
"No, but pictures can be misinterpreted, just like people." Bakura wasn't exactly getting what Ryo meant.
"Fine, videos can't lie, because you see and hear the whole thing."
"Are we bringing a video camera?" Bakura asked.
"We don't have one, we don't have a VCR." Ryo replied.
"Fine, I'll buy a DVD camcorder." Bakura said.
"Fine."
"Wait, we're taping them?" Yami asked, waiting patiently on the sidelines of the conversation.
"We haven't decided yet." Bakura replied.
"The important part is that we're meeting you at the game shop tomorrow." Ryo said as Marik just walked into the living room.
"Cool, sounds like a party, can I come?"
"It's not, and no." Yami said dryly.
"Where's the other you?" Ryo asked Marik.
"He's parking the motorcycles."
"Why couldn't you park your own?"
"Because I knew I might miss a party invitation."
"What did I miss?" The dark Marik said as he walked into the living room.
"A party invitation." Marik answered.
"Am I invited?"
"No."
"Are you invited?"
"No."
"It's not a party." Yami tried to explain.
"Fine, whatever, I have better things to do than go to your stupid party." Y. Marik said, crossing his arms.
"Like what?" Marik asked.
"What ever is on my-"
"To do list." Yami and Bakura finished for him.
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"We have one too." Yami and Bakura said together.
"And if you're wondering, yes ours predicts the future." Bakura said.
"And yes, we blacked out at six o'clock in the morning." Yami said immediately after him.
"Wow, this is very elaborate. Are you all in on whatever you're been planning?" Marik asked the Yamis.
"They must be up to something." Ryo stated. "But why would you want to do something sneaky?" Ryo looked at Yami.
"Yugi thinks I'm going through a mid-life crisis since I didn't live long enough as a pharaoh."
"Oh, that makes sense. Marik, Dark Marik-" Ryo glared at Bakura. "Bakura, don't mess with the pharaoh." Ryo lowered his voice a bit.
"I'm not-" Yami tried to say.
"It's ok, we understand." Marik said while cutting Yami off.
"Forget it!"
"Pharaoh, there's still black hair spray in your hair."
"No Tomb robber, most of my hair is black."
"No idiot, on your bangs."
"I don't see anything." Ryo said, examining Yami's hair.
"Well, it's there!"
"I better go check it out." Yami said, walking towards the bathroom.
"You're blind as a bat, that's why you missed it! I'll just show you." Bakura got up and headed towards the bathroom as well.
"Hey, why is your hair three different colors anyway? Marik asked.
"It's natural!" Yami went into the bathroom.
"Now, where is there still black? I don't see it. I could've sworn I got it all out." Yami said, looking in the bathroom mirror.
"Your hair is fine, that's not the reason we're here."
"Then I'm not sure I really want to know."
"Listen, this is perfect."
"No, it's probably not."
"Shut up!" Bakura slapped Yami's arm. "They think you're easily pissed off. We have to prank someone!"
"Marik." Yami immediately said.
"Why him?"
"Because you know you want to, and you're the only one who believes me."
"Is that all?"
"Well, also because we can't prank Marik's dark half because of the anger issue, and the whole sending people to the shadow realm thing."
"Right, right. And you don't want to mess with a stressed person."
"Yeah, so what's the plan?"
"You're just going to agree, as simple as that?"
"If they think I want to do something sneaky, I might as well!"
"That's what I call friendship, don't ever tell anyone I said that."
"Don't worry, I don't even believe you did. So, what's the plan?"
"The plan is spontaneous, I'm just letting you know we're in on something."
"You can't think of a plan."
"Pharaoh, it's awful! It's like that time on Ed, Edd, and Eddy when Eddy couldn't think of a scam, only worst because I'm a genius!" Bakura cried on Yami's shoulder.
"There, there." Yami sort of pat Bakura on the back, but he was a bit uncomfortable with it. It was pretty awkward. "We'll just stick to spontaneous for a while and mess with Marik's head. If you don't think of something, I will." Bakura cried louder when Yami said that. "Should we get the other Marik in on it? He's good at thinking evil. Or Ryo, he's clever."
Bakura sniffled then said, "Maybe, I'll think about it. After all, who knows Marik better than...Marik?"
"Exactly."
"Ok, I'm ready to see what happens."
"I'll wet my bangs."
"Why?"
"So they think we really were doing what they think we were doing."
"Oh, smart pharaoh."
"You didn't say that."
"Good."
"Ok, let's go."
"Wait, what if we need to talk privately again; we can't use this excuse, and we certainly can't go into the bathroom again."
"We'll see, remember, your a genius and I'm-"
"Smart."
"Just smart?"
"We'll see."
Yami turned the sink on and dipped his bangs in. Bakura dunked his whole head in. Yami brought his head out of the water and glared at Bakura.
"We've been in here so long,. you would think that we would try to pull some sort of joke on eachother."
Yami turned off the sink. He gently pushed Bakura out of the way and went over to the bathtub. He put the plug in the drain and turned the water on cold. He stuck his head in to get his hair wet all the way. Then he let it fill up for a while. Bakura stood there confused, and wondering what Yami was doing. When it was about three-quarters full, he turned off the water.
Suddenly Yami grabbed Bakura and threw him into the bathtub. Water splashed over the side of the tub, getting on Yami's shoes and the lower half of his pants. Bakura brought his head up and glared at Yami. Yami just smirked and said, "I agree." He walked out, leaving the soaking wet Bakura in the tub to remember not to piss Yami off for a while. Then he wondered if he looked good with wet hair.
"What are you guys doing in there? Ryo asked as Yami entered the living room. Yami was toying with his bangs to make it seem like he did wash them.
":Well, I was washing my bangs when he decided I should wash all of my hair. Then I was thinking that he should wash his hair. But in the end, I decided he should just take a whole bath, clothes and all."
"He didn't get water on the floor, did he?" Ryo asked.
"I'm not sure, but I think he did." He looked down at his pant legs as a gesture for Ryo to look at his pant legs so he knows there's definitely water on the floor.
"Don't worry, I'll make him clean up his mess."
"You should, and don't believe him if he says it's my fault."
"I never do."
"Good, wait, how many things has he blamed on me?"
"Uh….let's see." Ryo began thinking to himself for a while. "I've lost count."
"Figures."
