Chapter 5: Impossible to Tame a Beast

My life keeps on getting complicated each time I breathe. I have to say an advanced apology to Kaiba- san because I won't be able to keep my promise…..Er, actually no because I did not promise him anything. It's just that his trust on me would definitely be destroyed once he sees the situation on hand. I mean, look at it! I have Marik by my side who would not stop feeling me up and my yami just because he wanted to keep an eye on Marik who would not stop feeling me up and Yami was also here because he said that he wanted to keep an eye on my yami who would in turn try to send Marik to the shadow realm once he started to feel me up again. What a predicament ne?

That's not the biggest problem actually. There are other minor ones too and would you like to listen? No? Well, I'm sorry, but you'd just have to bear with me since this is the only place, I mean section where I can express myself freely. Eherm. I'll start now. First of all, Marik, Yami and Bakura are all yamis right? All of them have supernatural powers that are unexplainable to NORMAL beings right? They hate each other's guts right? And worst of all, we are walking side by side in a crowded street because we are not rich enough to have cars right? Add all of this together and what do you get? Correct! A very distressed hikari who could not do anything because he has no supernatural powers and is to weak to even try to defend himself! Wow, you are good at guessing!

So here we are, walking briskly, but trust me, not quietly. They keep on getting on each other's nerves when Marik again started groping me. I learned so many tricks on him! I have never thought to put my school bag to good use when feeling another individual like what Marik did and if I didn't shriek (like a girl), he could have gone away with it! Just like that, my yami started attacking Marik rather violently and of course, Yami wouldn't miss the fun right? So here I am, trying to contain three upset yamis from killing each other… why must I, a normal human being, suffer and tolerate this suffering! Why have you abandoned me my dear Gods? Why!

I was brought back to reality because of Marik laughing his insane laugh. I looked at my back to see a fuming Bakura and a hot- headed Yami. Again, I shifted my gaze back to Marik who was back to his normal self and miraculously, there were no blood on him. I was so sure that Bakura bit his shoulder using his sharp- pointed teeth…..

"Marik, I see that you're fine." Wow Ryou. Trying to make a decent conversation with a psycho. I can never cease to amaze myself can I?

""Why wouldn't I be my dear little Kitty? After all, if I am not fine, who would grab your butt like this?" I shrieked, blushed and jumped at the same time. That should be placed at the Guinness World Book 2005… I am sure that no individual was able to do that ever!

"Why you little maniac! Get back here!" My yami started chasing after Marik and I was able to finally rest in peace until someone spoke. Oh yeah, Yami was also with us.

"So Ryou, what's new?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Of course. After all, it's still a long walk ahead of us."

"Okay. I was just wondering why Marik was not shedding a pool of blood. You know with Bakura attacking him viciously with nine knives, that just seem impossible…." I silently looked at him who was also looking at me. I shifted my gaze to my feet. Who knew that I was this curious?

"He used Shadow Magic of course." He stated in one whole sentence while I gaped at him silently. Of course, they were spirits and it was once advantage to use their powers to regenerate themselves. I mentally slapped myself because of the idiotic question I just asked. How can I be so stupid? Surprisingly, Yami chuckled and like he knew what I was thinking, he said, "That's fine Ryou. I kind of admire you since you are able to look after the three of us. Guess it's tiring huh?" Pssh. If he only knew that Beasts cannot be tamed!

Finally we reached Kaiba- san's house, uh mansion, fort? Whatever! We reached his humble abode! I was about to ring the doorbell when a tangled mass of black hair tackled me to the ground. Oh, it was Mokuba. Finally, he finally realized that he was too heavy for me and offered me a goofy grin, which was a sign of apology as I see it.

"Hello to you too Mokuba." He chuckled nervously as he felt my evil glare burn through his skull. As much as I wanted my revenge on the said boy, it won't happen because a) I don't have any supernatural powers because my greedy yami hogged it all to himself and never even thought of his reincarnated form after three thousand years and b) Kaiba Seto would be after my butt. I vigorously shook my head to rid my mind off of that thought. Anyway, there won't be any abused butts running around town if no one would touch Mokuba or any of the super gadgets owned by the Kaiba brothers. Suddenly, I felt a cold chill behind my back as I heard the three yamis behind me mumbling incoherent words or were they cursing using the Ancient Egyptian language? Who would know? I'm not Einstein… well, he didn't know how to speak in Egyptian too so how can an average schoolboy like me know? I was a thief lord way back then you say, but you should have known by now that Bakura and I are separate individuals, with separate ideas and separate bodies you know! Back to what I was saying… I felt a cold chill pass behind my back as I noticed the earlier ignored presence of the yamis and I was hit by an idea. Of course, there would be PLENY of butts running around town because someone would obviously steal and destroy the ultra, super cool gadgets of Kaiba corp or if not, someone would definitely get his ass kicked just because he annoys the older Kaiba.

"Ryou, Ryou?"

"Leave me here please and let me confess my sins first before my funeral. I really am sorry for bringing this chaos on y our humble abode so let me atone for my sins through death…" I began mumbling incoherently because I finally noticed what I have done. I could have stopped everything, but no, I could not deny my yami anything because of my never undying love for him even though it would cost my life. Good-bye cruel world! I hope that you would not trash my previous existence!

"What's wrong with your hikari? Is he nuts?"

"My hikari is not a nut or a peanut psycho. He just had some pessimistic ideas that we can make into reality!" Bakura started cackling evilly. Jeez, they try to backstab people, but who wouldn't hear them when they are shouting at the top of their lungs? They should try to show some form of decency at least and TRY to whisper when talking about a person's sanity. He did not even understood what Marik meant when he asked whether I was nuts! Leave it to my yami to tell people idiots when he himself could not even understand nuts meaning crazy from nuts meaning peanuts… Great! I too am turning into an idiot! Must we two have to share everything including idiocy? Why do I have to suffer? Why?

"Ryou, stop gaping and can we start the practice?" An irritated voice interrupted me from my last thoughts. How dare he? Doesn't he know that the notorious Seto Kaiba would soon kill me? I was about to try and intimidate the offender but as fate would have it, it was Kaiba who interrupted me from my thoughts meaning that my death would claim me sooner than expected since he's already in front of me.

"You could at least welcome my presence you know." He stated and began tapping his feet impatiently. Uh- oh. I just managed to anger Kaiba! What should I do?

"Oh sorry Kai-, I mean Seto." I shifted my gaze to my foot as I saw the furious and some confused looks from the yamis. They can't blame it on me! The most powerful man in my city, Seto Kaiba ordered me to call him Seto! It's not my fault! I can't disobey the most powerful man here in my city, where we live! Right?

"So how about the practice?"

"Un Seto. Where do you think we should start?" I replied nervously. I have a bad feeling…

"How about the kissing scene then?" I stared dumbfounded at his smirking form as I saw my yami bringing out his knife from his back pocket. There would be bloodshed I say!
