TGG: Here's another chapter for you all.

(starting with Bakura.)

Yami Bakura looked darkly at the door. 'Brat forgot the ring.. How'm I supposed to get anything DONE if HE just runs off like that?' When nothing happened for a moment, he scowled and resumed pacing. Well, Ryou couldn't stay out ALL night, now could he? The kid had such a low tolerance for the outdoors, chances were he's be back in another hour tops. Still, it would be time wasted. Bakura hated to waste time unless it was absolutely necessary.

(Meanwhile. Man I LOVE saying that.)

Kitten blinked clenching and unclenching her fingers like she had been taught. she would do that when she was nervous. "So? what do ya think he's doing?" She asked Ryou. Glancing at him. Ryou looked at her a moment, almost amazed, then looked back in the direction of his apartment.
"Probably still sulking, for whatever reason. Or waiting for me," the white haired teen replied vaguely.
"You goin' in? I think I'll just head in through a window or something. Feels weird usein' the front door." Ryou gave her a strange look, then sighed.
"Yeah, I guess," he sighed again, looking down and turning around to cover the few blocks he'd crossed back home.

Kitten followed him smiling as she thought of what she was planning to do.

"You should have seen your face." she told him grinning. "Looked like you'd just seen the grim reaper." She laughed again blending into the shadows then back into the light. Ryou glanced at where she was, and shook his head. 'Girls...,'
"It was funny you know."

When Ryou opened the door, Bakura instantly grabbed him by the collar, dragging him up to face height.
"Hello, Light. Who's in the house?" he asked quietly. Ryou stared at him, wide eyed for a moment, then shook his head, Bakura scowled and dropped him. "Naive, Ryou. Real smart, letting just anyone in." Ryou took a step back, glanced around, and then closed the door behind him, locking it form the inside.

"I'm not stealing anything!" Kitten jumped down the stairs smiling.
"Of course," Bakura said dryly.

Ryou tried to slip back into his room, but a quick glare form Bakura stopped him half-way between Bakura and Kitten. "Stay," the dark said. She gave a little bow.
"It's an honor to meet you King thief Kura-sama." A slight smile flickered on his face, but instantly vanished.
"Flattered you know me. What do you want?" Ryou stood there uselessly, observing the exchange.

"Wondered if you've seen Aria..." Kittens eyes darkened. "I owe her something." she crossed her arms. "I was talking about it with my mother. She greatly offend us when she stole from you." Bakura raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes, Aria. No, I haven't seen her just lately," he replied in a very even tone. Ryou began wringing his hands, wondering what the hell was going on. But not in those exact words.

"Damn." Kitten muttered. "Oh. I also wondered what to do with these..." she dug in her pocket and brought out the cards she had stolen. "I thought you'd be interested. Or just give 'em back?" She showed the God cards to him. "I can't use 'em."

Bakura smiled, amused, but Ryou gasped. "More stealing from the pharaoh?" he asked.

"Those are Yugi's!"

"Relax, light."

Kitten smiled. "I was bored and Seto's no fun anymore."

Bakura nodded. "He is a bit of an ass once you've been around him too long. Well, either see if that psycho Malik wants them, or give them back I guess." Kitten put them back in her pocket.
"Okay." Ryou blinked, suddenly thinking of something.
"Wait a minute, if Baku-ch-" he stopped at a glare, realizing that he was using a nickname in front of people. He swallowed. "If Bakura is the king of thieves, and you're a thief, are you one of his, subjects?" the teen asked uncertainly. Bakura watched Kitten silently for a reaction to the curious boy's question, just about almost wondering the same thing. Kitten shrugged.
"Guess so..." Bakura nodded.
"Well you want me to contact you if I see, Aria," he asked, pausing to withhold the utter disgust at having to say the last word.
"Sure." Kitten said shrugging again "Now I think I'll go before my sister gets herself caught again." She smiled before vanishing into the shadows and down the street. Bakura shook his head.
"Great, just great," he muttered. After a moment in silence, he glanced at Ryou. "Get some sleep, Light. We have things to do tomorrow you know."

(HeeHee…Meanwhile…..I LOVE SAYING THAT SO MUCH!)

Kitten slipped into the downstairs window of the game shop. Kari was in here. Kit could hear her moving around upstairs. Kitten turned and propped the window open so a quick escape could be obtained if it was needed. She crept silently up the stairs and spotted Kari heading towards Yugi's bedroom door. "Kari." Kitten said just below a whisper. Kari turned. Well t lest her hearing was good. "home. now." Kari shook her head and opened Yugi's door without a sound. "shadow realm here she comes." Kitten said through clenched teeth. Carefully Kitten followed Kari into Yugi's room. In a slight flash of light and a small eep, Kari was dangling above the ground. "What are you two doing in here?" an unseeable but unmistakable voice snapped, looking Kari hard in the eyes. He glanced at Kitten, and frowned more. "You're that girl. What do you want?"

"I was getting my sister. Oh great pharaoh." Kitten replied sarcastically. "I don't have the time to waste keeping her out of jail and the shadow realm. I have more important people to bother." Yami looked at Kitten darkly, staring at her. With a simple and unenthusiastic motion he opened his hand, dropping Kari to the ground.
"Did you steal Yugi's cards?" he asked her firmly.
"No." Kitten answered simply. "How could I with you watching him so closely." Kari glared at Kitten.
"Lair. You have 'em and you know it!"

"And you know not to be sneaking into peoples houses We're not targeting! So shut up and get home." Yami was glaring at her darkly, as though considering if it would be too much of a show to send her to the shadow realm. "I hope you know how dangerous those cards are," he said quietly, then lightly kicked Kari in the side, nudging her. "Get out of my room, and then get out of my house girl."

"Fine. I was only trying to help!" Kari ran off Kitten close behind.

Yami stared after them a minute. 'Those girls are going to get themselves in so much trouble if they aren't more careful about who they associate with...' he thought quietly to himself. Yami went to reclose Yugi's door, but stopped partway, glancing down. He smiled slightly, and picked up a card from the floor. "So, Slyther, we meet again," he mused to himself, reclosing the door. And locking it this time, too.

(Outside)

"Who's side are you on!" Kitten hissed at Kari as they exited the game shop.

"I won't answer that. I don't have too."
"Fine mom will deal with you."

TGG: That's all I got for you today. Come by next time for an update. (grin)
