(A/N): I really am sorry that this thing took me so long I didn't mean to procrastinate like this. I just lost track of time and didn't feel like typing anything up, even though I knew you people were just waiting forever and ever for me to get off my lazy butt and just update already. So, yet again, I'm sorry.

Disclaimer:

Calvin and Hobbs are not mine

And neither are fork tines

These dividers I have borrowed

Faust's idea is harrowed

Okaaay…that was random. There are no fork tines in this. But the dividers really aren't mine. I just thought the dividers in Foust looked better then my numbers. As usual:

"Normal speech"

Mind speech

Well, that's not normal, but I decided to change it for the sake of my poor hands. They really itch now that the burns I got from that stupid algae are going away. Stupid algae.

"What was that for?" Calvin exploded when Hobbs had finally slammed and locked the door to the room.

"Roslyn's here," Hobbs intoned, with the air of someone announcing the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

"What? Didn't Mom and Dad say Ryoh was watching us? Him and Bakura?"

"I don't know about Bakura, all I saw was Roslyn and some dazed guy, Ryoh I guess."

"Do you think she could be using some sort of mystic powers to control his mind?" Calvin wondered.

"Could be. Oh, and Calvin?"

"Yeah?"

"We should switch our bodies back. I miss my tail."

"Yeah, and I suppose we should keep the Body Swapper secret, huh?"

"So lets go downstairs an use it, then!"

"Yes, we must change back before Ryoh can discover our Body Swapper and what it does, for if he does, and reports back to Roslyn, there's no telling what she will do!" And so saying, Calvin (who looks like Hobbs) bounded out of his room, and ran down the stairs, followed by Hobbs (who was in Calvin's body).

When they reached the living room, however, where the device was, they saw a thin teenage guy with white hair and glazed brown eyes sitting on the couch. He stared straight ahead, and didn't seem to register the boy in a tiger's body and the tiger in a boy's body.

"Okay," Calvin whispered, "you go into the machine, and I'll push the button then join you. We have to move fast, though, because there's no telling how long he'll stay simplified."

"Right."

(B)(S)(O)(D)

Ryoh had dropped onto the couch to work out some ground rules with Bakura.

You are allowed to frighten him, Bakura. You are not allowed to physically harm Calvin in any way,

Aww…

nor are you permitted to remove his soul from his body,

Kuso!

Or swear aloud in his presence!

So why are we watching him?

His parents are paying us.

Oh.

Bakura was obviously annoyed by this, and was about to retort angrily when he felt a strange magic. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before, and was therefore an unknown. That meant it was dangerous.

He took over.

Yami-sama? Ryoh cried as he felt his dark partner seize control, What is it?

I don't know. I felt magic.

But the only one here besides us is Calvin, and he's only six! How could a six-year-old use magic?

I don't know, Yadonushi-sama. This could be dangerous though.

Just remember to make sure before you shoot!

Right, right…

Ya… was the last Bakura heard of Ryoh before he blocked out his voice. He would let his host see and hear and feel, of course, but the boy would be forced to be a mute observer.

As Calvin pushed out of the Body Swapper, the first thing he noticed was that Hobbs was standing on his foot. The second was an evil pair of red eyes staring at him intently from the sofa.

"What have we here…?" intoned an evil voice. "A child and a tiger, or…" here he broke off to glace at the Body Swapper, "maybe it's the other way around."

"What are you?" Calvin demanded, feeling certain that the new sitter was an even worse danger than Roslyn. He was certainly evil.

"I," here what Calvin thought was Ryoh broke off to smirk, "am Bakura."

"I-I thought your name was Ryoh!" Calvin stuttered.

"No, Ryoh is your baby-sitter. I, however, an the evil spirit possessing his body."

Calvin swallowed. This was bad.

"What are you doing here? What do you want with us?" Hobbs managed to squeak.

"Hmm…so the tiger speaks," Bakura murmured. "Simple. I merely wanted to warn you…I will be looking for excuses to torment you and Calvin." As he intoned this, the spirit patted Hobbs on the top of his head and chuckled.

"C-could you let our baby-sitter go now?" Calvin asked.

The spirit responded by chuckling darkly and tilting his head down so that his bangs covered his eyes. There was a brief glow from under his shirt, and he looked up with soft, brown eyes that Calvin had previously seen glazed over.

"Hello," the newcomer cheerfully greeted, "I'm Ryoh."

"I'm Calvin," Calvin began.

"Yes, I know," Ryoh interrupted. "I was watching the whole thing."

Calvin and Hobbs glanced at each other. This was…strange. How could Ryoh possibly be so cheerful right after he was possessed? It didn't make sense.

"Hobbs, you ask," Calvin hissed, turning to his friend.

"Why me?" the tiger whined.

"Because you're the fearless tiger."

"And what if I don't want to be the fearless tiger anymore?"

"Boys, boys!" Ryoh interrupted, "ask me what?"

"How can you be so cheerful right after being possessed by an evil spirit?" they exclaimed in unison.

"Let me ask you something," Ryoh growled in a low tone, hanging his head so that his bangs overshadowed his eyes, "how can you be so relaxed when that evil spirit could come back at any moment…?"

"Aaaaaaa! It's Bakura!" the boy and the tiger screamed as they hugged each other.

"Bakura" tossed his head up, revealing amused brown eyes. "No," he said, "it's only Ryoh doing his Bakura act." Ryoh smiled brightly, then flopped down on the couch. "I'm going to have a talk with Bakura. You boys behave yourselves while I'm gone, or Bakura might come out…okay?"

"Okay," agreed Hobbs. Then he nudged Calvin with an elbow.

"Huh? Oh…okay," Calvin mimicked.

As Calvin and Hobbs turned their backs on their oblivious baby-sitter, they glanced at each other. This was going to be a long Summer.

(A/N): Whew! I thought I'd never get done typing that up! I've even got writer's block on chapter five…oh the joys that will be to break through.

Just so you people who like this fic know, I have absolutely no plan whatsoever for this story, so if you give me a suggestion in a review, odds are that it will be used eventually. So, yeah…

OK, acknowledgement time!

Randomreviewer: thanks, the body-swapper just came off the top of my overactive imagination.

Kayrie: yeah, and I'm glad you liked the chapter. Sorry I took so long to get this one out. Yes, it is fiction, and the Body Swapper is not the strangest thing that is to be happening.

Happiness's Deceit: I am really really really sorry I took so long to update. REALLY sorry. I'll try to be faster with the next chapter.

Magical-wildgirl: thanks, I'm glad you think it's funny. And I'll let you all know what happens when Calvin really irritate Bakura…just as soon as I find out what it is. I do know one thing, though…trouble for EVERYONE.

Los Angeles-Angelic Psycho: I'm sorry I took so long, new chapters are on the way, and I've changed the dividers. I'll keep them up like this if you don't mind. I aim to please!
