Shoooooooom!

"Rin," She replied darkly. Yami and Malik glanced over to Anzu, in surprise. Rin hid behind Malik, fearing for the worst. She knew Anzu was about to show...the other side of her sweet friendship personality. The evil, vile side! Oh Goddess was Rin doomed. "You made us run like criminals. You must pay now." A small, sickly insane smile was on her lips. Malik and Yami cowered in fear as she spoke the next few words. The horrible words that all men hated: shopping. Not just any shopping but a preppy store with a girl, kind of shopping.

Loud shrieks soon filled the mall, and although it sounded as if someone was being horribly murdered, innocent stand-byres just couldn't refuse the new sale at Sears. For, all shirts were now 12 off! Gosh, how wonderful! It's like the re-birth of some great God! Or free jello! Thus, they all believed that someone (who was done shopping) would turn into Prince Charming and save the dying soul.

"Mommy," Replied a little boy with blonde hair holding the hand of a shopper. The woman looked down at the boy.

"What is it, sweetie?" She asked kindly, as she spotted a pair of shoes that were on sale. The boy pondered on how to go about his question as the woman battled fiercely for the shoes. Finally, he looked up at his mother.

"What is that noise?" He asked, referring to the shrieking. His mother smiled knowingly, giving a small chuckle.

"Why, honey! That's just a short person." She then saw a purse that went with the shoes, and dragged her son across the mall.

"Oh, okay. Like daddy?" He asked and the woman dropped her bags and started to chew on a Hershey bar, shrieking and drooling.

Anzu was pulling Rin by her ankle around the mall, and the teen shrieked in bloody murder. Anzu was determined to get to the store and Rin, in tears, was on her stomach, clawing the ground that was sliding under her at 60 miles per hour. She tried to dig her nails into the sparkly clean floor or cling to something. Lightning flashed, and Rin began to shriek again. Yami was nervously looking around as people stopped to stare. Malik, on the other hand, was cracking up. He laughed as Rin tried to claw her self away.

Malik was hoping that this moment would never end. It was just too funny for him. He'd pay to see this! He wondered if he should set up a ticket stand and make money off this. It was better then the time he set his sister up on a blind date with a can of tuna fish. God, if he only had that on tape.

"Is Anzu-Chan going to torture Rin-Chan?" Yami blurted out, glancing back to Rin who was begging for mercy. Malik was ripped out of his thoughts and glanced to the shrieking child. Either Rin was over-acting, or really was going to be cut up into little tiny pieces. Like that show Yami had come across one day. There was this Deer, just standing there...and then...BANG. Aaaand CHOP...Oh how he felt sad for the Deer. He felt so bad for the Deer that he wouldn't eat meat for a whole day! He even went about like a protester until Yugi threatened to throw away the God Cards. Malik snorted, snapping Yami back to reality. The Egyptian gave a half-smirk, glancing at Yami with a chuckle. Yami inched away from Malik, as devil horns shot out of his head. His chuckle turned into evil crackles.

"Indeed she is. She's going to torture us, too." He replied, gleefully. Although Malik returned from the Dark Side, much to Darth Vader's horror, (which lead to a row of long fights and then finally the break up, which was really hard on both of them...,) and taking over the world seemed like ages ago, Malik was still Malik. Maybe he was not the crazed murderous Malik, but Malik nonetheless. And how could he give up a chance to freak out the Pharaoh? Now that he thought of it, Anzu really was going to torture them. He turned his gaze back to Mr. Sexy-eyebrows, "We'll enter the room..." Malik declared in a voice which a Camp Counselor would use to tell the Campers a scary story. He softened his voice so that Yami would need to lean closer to hear, "and everywhere we turn there'll be..." He paused for the dramatic affect. Yami waited, wondering what horrifying thing Malik was about to reveal. "Pink!"

Yami gasped, his eyes widened. Pink? Lightning flashed.

And again...and again...and again. AND AGAIN! "Someone should really do something about those blasted lights..." Malik replied angrily, glancing about. Yami hadn't known that pink was a torture device. Shaking his head, he wondered why Anzu would do this. Before he could attempt to ask Malik, a very loud shriek caused both boys to jerk their heads toward the Sailor Scouts.

Rin was screaming bloody murder, as Anzu neared her favorite store...and I mean she was really close now. It was like pigs not flying, it was too close. Rin could feel the heat from the pink flames. The evil Satan-like clothes taunting her. "Riiiiiiin..." They mocked. "I hate you...did you take out the trash? Riiiiiin...I'm mocking you. Mock. Mock. Mock."

Malik swore he could see pink demons around the store. It looked like the biggest store in all the land---er, "Mall". The walls and floor around it were glittered with pink sparkles and such! Above the store was the biggest pink sign Yami had ever seen. He began to consider Malik's torture story about pink. The name of the store, 'I'll Like Him Len!', was written in pink glitter with flashing pink lights around it. The two boys stood there, transfixed by the stores' glowing sign. Pigs began to sprout wings and fly over the moon, then were all hit by a pink lightning and died slowly. Some guy from a cooking show dragged them away, followed by a crowd of non-believers. Yami was convinced that they had reached the Gates of Hell.

"Seto! Oh God, Seto help me!" The short girl shrieked, snapping Malik and Yami's horrified daze. They glanced back down to Rin, who now clung to Seto's ankle for dear life. Seto, whose heart was as big as Santa's myth would surely save her! Seto merely stared down at her, trying to shake Rin loose before he lost his balance. He growled for Rin to let go. But she didn't, and Anzu didn't stop pulling. So down Seto went. He too, now another one of Anzu's victims, was dragged about the Mall toward the unholy store. Malik and Yami both started laughing at Seto's very pissed yet very frightened expression. He sent the two a death glare, which was ignored. He didn't have any popcorn anyway... Rin knew Seto would steal popcorn! Popcorn thief! He began to curse at Anzu, who seemed to be deaf by the thoughts of shopping. All Anzu knew was that her very life would be shattered if she did not get to her store. Nothing, besides Yami, mattered at the moment.

"Are you insane?" Raged the pissed CEO, as he slid down the Perfectly-Clean-Mall-Floor on his butt. Random people had to jump out of the way or they'd be plowed over. Rin glanced over to Anzu, wondering if Seto had enough annoying put-downs to snap the crazed-one out of it. Anzu turned her head around slowly with the creepiest grin on her face. Both Rin's and Seto's eyes widened in fear. They screamed in horror.

"Like a Fox!" She said, sounding like a madwoman. Rin and Seto glanced at each other, horrified expressions written on their faces. Seto was beyond creped, and began to thrash his ankle about. He would be free even if it was the last thing he'd do! Rin stared at him, as he twitched about. The girl wondered if he was being possessed or something. She waited for his head to twist around and for green puke to shoot out of his mouth like a gun. It didn't happen.

"Let go of my ankle!" He growled, slapping at Rin's hand. Rin shook her head, she wouldn't be abandoned like that. "You dewbs need lives." He muttered, more to himself. Rin glanced around, wondering who he was giving this speech too. "Let go!" He howled. Rin shrieked like a chicken as Seto broke free.

"No! Don't leave me again, Daddy! Daddy, come back from the store! Daddy! Daaaaaadddyyy!" She shrieked at Seto, reaching out for him as Anzu dragged her away. Seto glared, claiming that Rin wasn't his child. People looked back and forth between the two.

"No. You look like her. Don't deny your child!" One woman yelled suddenly from a random crowd. There were a few nods of agreement.

"Pffft. That kid looks nothing like him, ya know what I sayin'? Don' pu' tha' on him!" A guy replied, sounding annoyed.

"You, sir, should be ashamed! Leaving your child like that! What kind of man are you?" With this said, a few people booed. A young man, wearing a ski jacket, jumped out from behind a bench.

"We are here with the results! The results are in! When it comes to 32747 month old...kid over there...Seto Kaiba is the father!" When the young man said this, looking down at the leaf he was holding, there was an uproar with the crowd of people. People booed, cheered, laughed and just screamed. One woman came forth from the crowd, screaming:

"I told you! I told you! I told you!" She said, doing a dance. Another woman just burst into tear and ran behind the bench.

Seto stared, horrified. A few seconds passed and he just decided to walk away, shaking his head and wondering why he even bothered going to the mall today. He passed Yami and Malik who stared questionably at him.

"Save it." He muttered, walking past them. Mister Sexy-Hair, also known as Malik JR (not really!) turned to Yami.

"Is it just me, or does it feel like today is...well, extra weird?" He asked the ageless Pharaoh, who nodded wearing an odd expression. Anzu suddenly stopped, as if waiting for Yami and Malik to catch up. They did, but took their time. Malik, Yami, Rin and Anzu now all stood outside of the preppy store. Rin was staring up at it from the ground. Suddenly, Anzu pushed open the doors of hell and began to walk in.

"No! It's hell! It's hell! Oh god! God save my damned soul! No! No! No! No, someone help me!" Rin screamed, holding onto the doors of the store. Anzu was pulling her by her ankles, Yami and Malik stood there in front of Rin as people stared in horror. When Rin grew tired of holding onto the doors, she gave in. The Unholy gates closed behind Anzu and Rin.

Yami and Malik stood outside of the store, staring. Yami was pondering what he should do, as he struck a Sexy-Hero-whose-thinking pose. Lights flashed all around him as random chicks danced. Malik, on the other hand, just stood there like a normal person. He laughed slightly.

"I'll like him Len!" He replied and Yami gave him a strange look. "Kill me I'm in hell! That's what I got when I switched the lettering around!" Said a very amused Malik. Yami just gapped at him, inching away. Malik gave a Yami a "YOU-DON'T-UNDERSTAND-ME" look. He knew Rin would be amused. "We better go save Anzu and Rin," He replied and Yami nodded seriously. Too seriously.

The two boys entered the gates of hell, and were met with something that will haunt them even in their graves.

Pink. Everywhere. The store was huge...and very very pink. The walls were of pink foam, with a heart pattern engraved into it. The lights were pink, the floor was a fuzzy and pink, and the many racks of clothing were mostly pink. Fuzzy, bright, happy pink everywhere!

"Holy shit," Malik gasped, knowing he brought this upon himself. "This really is Hell. Screw Rin!" He replied, turning to leave when Yami grabbed his arm. The Egyptian glanced at Yami, half wondering if the Pharaoh was in love with pink.

"We must save them both from this great evil!" The Pharaoh declared, pointing forward as if he and Malik were going into battle. Malik sweat dropped, knowing Yami took it too far. Breaking free, he inched away, glancing around the store with mild interest. Glancing back at Yami, who had stars in his eyes and the "SUPER HERO" mode turned on, Malik knew he'd have to find Rin sanely as possible. How ironic. Him, doing something sanely. His life, he once thought, couldn't get any more insane. But, now hanging out with Yami, Anzu and Rin for about maybe thirty minutes or so, he found he was so very wrong.

Malik found Anzu, who seemed to be in heaven. She was going from rack to rack looking at different clothes. Shrugging, he left her to find Rin. She wasn't hard to find. He just needed to look for a short Goth. Malik eyed the pink clothes, the pink walls. The many happy smiling preps and finally found what he was looking for:

"I'm dying," the girl replied as he neared. She was lying on her back, her body stretched out. Malik tapped her on the side with his shoe. She groaned and rolled over. "Leave me, can't you see an old person dying?" She said in a dying-like-cow-batman voice.

"Kill me I'm in hell," Malik smirked as Rin opened an eye to him. ", is 'I'll like him Len' if you change the letterings." Rin and Malik both cackled, their strange minds at work. A woman who was looking through the clothes rack beside them freaked out and ran off screaming about demons. Two men in white coats jumped out from the clothing and tackled her, ejecting her with needles. She was dragged away and random people followed screaming about oz.

"Dude, are you serious? That rocks. So many rocks." Rin replied, getting up. Malik leaned against the clothes rack Rin had been laying behind. He wasn't sure why his mind kept drifting off toward Seto and farm chickens, but it just was. Little Panda's running about screaming about apples and such. Malik suddenly wished he hadn't thrown the food, he was hungry.

"Shit, get down!" Rin hissed suddenly, breaking him out of his thoughts. Malik was jerked down by the short girl, and was surprised at her strength. Rin had her head poked inside the clothes, looking through the cracks of clothing at someone. Malik raised a brow, now sitting on the floor of a prep store. Bored, he began to pluck threads of the pink fuzz. "Oh crap, Anzu!" Rin whispered, glancing at Malik. He dully stared back at the horror stricken girl. A smirked formed and he stood up, with Rin staring up at him. "What are you doing?" The girl whispered in a frightened voice.

"Hey Anzu!" Malik called out, waving his arms toward her. Anzu, from her rack, looked over with a smile. She waved back. He pointed downward. "Rin's right over...ouch! You bit me! You bit me! You animal! I can't believe you bit me!" Malik cried out, holding up his bitten leg. He hopped up and down, wailing in pain.

"Traitor!" A small voice was suddenly heard. "You're sleeping with the enemy, aren't you? Aren't you!" The voice, which belonged to the hidden Rin, cried. Malik, who was still very much in pain, glared at her.

"Yes I am!" He replied haughtily, pressing his foot on the back of her head. "In fact, I'm cheating on you with every woman in here!" Malik growled, stomping his foot against her head. Rin fell flat onto her stomach and made whining noises.

"Waaah. I thought you loved me! Why are you abusing me like this? Abuser, abuser!" Replied a shrilled cry. Anzu sweat dropped and moved to another area, pretending she didn't know them. In the distained background, she could still see them. Malik was beating Rin up with a clothes-hanger and poor short girl was ducking and hiding behind people/clothing/strange poles/Santa/the ice-cream truck/Jerry Springer.

Yami had soon learned that preps stores were much worse than anything he had faced before. His long search for his Angel proved difficult. "I will not let you win, Pink Doom! I will rescue my friends and end your evil wrath!" He declared in his Sailor Moon pose. Sadly, the sliver of the moon that was supposed to appear behind him crushed a woman. Yami blinked, and inched away before he was caught for murder.

"Excuse me, sir," Replied an insanely high-pitched voice coming from Yami's left. He jerked his head toward an extremely tall woman with long curly blonde hair. She wore a plastic-like smile, holding out a bottle of perfume. "Would you like to try some of 'Curiously ugly'?" She asked, cocking her head to the side. She seemed utterly soulless, and repeated her question until Yami hastily agreed. The woman then sprayed him a few times and Yami coughed, waving her away.

"You devil-woman!" He cried, running away. He soon found that a few of her henchmen were chasing him down like wild dogs. He skidded to a stop, and turned around. "Very well! If it's a duel you want it's a duel you'll get!" He cried, looking for his duel Monster cards. Sadly, they pounced on him before he had time to draw. He shrieked but they gave him no mercy. He was dragged away to a far place.

"Hello Sir, looking for a gift for that special lady?" Asked another soulless 'thing'. Yami decided he'd win their souls back when he found the horrible ruler of this place. The Thing repeated its question and in the confusion Yami thought it was speaking of Anzu. After all, Anzu was special to him.

"Are you speaking of Anzu? What have you done with her? Answer me!" He cried out, running closer to the thing. The thing was standing behind a jewelry stand. It picked a very pretty chain up with a snow flake look-alike diamond.

"For your special lady," The Thing said happily. "She'll love it." Yami stared at the thing, suddenly realizing that this thing was trying to sell him something for Anzu and that this thing wasn't soulless. It dawned to him that the prep store was evil in a different sense. Yami turned crimson, half embarrassed and half blushing at the thought of Anzu wearing it. The woman smiled knowingly. "Ah, first love, eh?" She asked, laughing some. If possible, Yami turned redder.

"No! I...uh, I just...it's her birthday coming up and I..." He couldn't believe himself. Why, at this moment, was he at a loss of words? Once so brave, now so...it was Anzu. Her friendship was different somehow. She was the only one who made him feel his own heart beating wildly.

"Twenty dollars, then!" She replied warmly, and Yami looked up feeling confused. She repeated what she said, nodding toward the necklace. Yami nodded, understanding that he had to pay. But Anzu was worth it. He just had to convince Malik that same thing when he robbed the Egyptian of his money.

"One moment, please." He said, walking away with this face still flushed. In no time he found Malik and Rin. He watched the two before walking closer. Grinning, he saw how the two became quick friends. Yami was relieved. Ever since Malik returned from the dark side, he feared that Malik might return because of loneness. He was also worried for Rin. She had been silent, sad looking and avoided making friends. Now both Rin and Malik were...oh no, they were killing each other.

Rin was hiding behind a white self of pants, and Malik was a few feet away behind another self of shirts. Rin poked her head up, throwing a sock at Malik. Malik ducked in time, but threw a sock as well before he went down. He heard an "Ack!" and a "Kyyyaaa!" followed by a thud. He smirked, knowing he hit his target.

"Did I kill you, Rin?" Malik taunted, snickering as he searched for more socks. He heard Rin growling and muttering inhuman things. He sighed, still smirking. This game Rin started was increasingly becoming more fun. Especially now that he was winning.

"You can not kill me, for I am the shadows!" She declared in her best Bakura voice. "I meant sock!" She added after Malik shuddered, remembering battle city for a moment. God, he heard Bakura say that more times than Jou said he was hungry. Rin searched for a few more socks before attacking again.

"I've heard that so many times, it grows old!" Malik replied back, sounding annoyed as a sock landed beside him. "You missed!" He added and heard a low growl of defeat. Rin was most likely shooting herself now.

"I know, Erik says it tons." Rin lied, not wanted to speak of the white-haired demon. There was a pause from the other side. The underworld. Malik was being eaten alive by fire ants. Shoots and ladders.

"Erik?" Santa asked, confused. "Who the hell is 'Erik'?" Santa heard Rin gasp and utter something that sounded a lot like 'Santa cursed! Santa cursed!'

"You call yourself a phan!" Rin shrieked, popping her head up. She met a cold purple gaze that bore into her, burning away the flesh.

"A fan of what?" Asked Malik, annoyed at Rin. Rin shook her head, pointing at Malik in with a bewildered expression.

"All Phantom Phan's know the Phantom's real name is Erik. You're not a phan you're a fan." She spat, ducking as he chucked a sock at her. He knew it hit her anyway, for he heard a soft thud with an "oaf!"

"What's the difference? Fan and fan, eh?" Malik asked as Rin bolted up. He slowly raised a brow as she began to lecture him, shrieking something and flapping her arms about like a demented bird. Malik suppressed a laugh and tried to make sense of her shrieking.

"No. You fool! Phan, with a 'ph' in front is a Phantom obsessed crazy like me. A fan with a normal "f" is someone like you." She declared, getting hit in the face with a flying shirt. Malik laughed as she let herself fall backward.

"Phreak!" He said, cackling. His cackling ended as he was hit with a clothes-hanger. Right in the face, too. He scowled at Rin, rubbing his sore nose.

"Feek." She corrected him. He glared at her.

"Phine. Pheek." He replied, his voice dripped with venom. There was a soft cough, and a noise of trying to clear ones throat. Rin and Malik glanced over to Yami, both their expressions demanding to know why he interrupted them. Yami wasn't meeting their eyes, he was glancing to his side with cheeks aflame. The Pharaoh was blushing madly.

"Malik," Yami started out, shifting weight from on foot to the other. He pulled at the collar of his shirt even though it wasn't tight. Rin stared at Yami, her eyes becoming glazed over. She suddenly had the biggest chibi face with watering eyes and a large blush.

"Oh," She replied dreamily, fanning herself feverishly. "Yaoi! Lemon sex scene, yes? I never knew Yami had a thing for Malik. Oh my..." Rin, very oblivious to Yami and Malik's scarlet faces, drifted off in her own world. Malik and Yami stared in horror as the now short chibi girl jumped onto a large heart. The heart drifted around the store...and Rin was laughing evilly, shooting gay porn at everyone. Malik kicked her in the head, a look of frustration playing on his face as the short girl sat there, cackling insanely and drooling. He glanced over to the freaked out Pharaoh.

"What?" He asked dully. Yami recovered the horrifying shock and looked over to the blonde Egyptian.

"I need to barrow twenty dollars." Yami said, firmly. His eyes stared into Malik's. Neither blinked. Malik stood with his arms crossed, a bored look on his face, while Yami stood looking determined. They had a stare-off for a few minutes until Rin piped up:

"Oh my God! For Anzu-Chan? Aw, Yami-Chan is so romantic." Rin paused, and turned to Malik shouting, "Why don't you do anything like that for me anymore? Remember when we first met and you were crazy, madly, in love with me and bought me crap? What happened to that! I remember when you'd wake me up at night just to tell me you thought my eyes were pretty or to read me a poem! What happen to that? I remember when you used to say 'I love you'! Am I not good enough for you anymore? Why can't you be like Yami?" Rin's insane screams caught the attention of people near by. They pretended not to be listening, but we all know their 'Ha-another-couple-grew-apart-and-are-about-to-break-up' keen hearing started to kick in. Everyone around eavesdropped, all waiting for the horrible, heartbreaking, break up between the two "lovers". Malik flicked her forehead.

"You just got old and wrinkly. I found another toy. Good bye!" He said gleefully and Rin burst into fake tears, running about the store like a madwoman. She eventually ran into a beam and fell over. Malik was returning his gaze back to Yami, smirking. "So, it's for Anzu-Chan! My, my..." He trailed off to find Yami gone. "What the..." He was also robbed. "...Damn!"

Shooooom!
