Love Really IS Forever
Disclaimer-;; Yes... well... I've sorta lost an epic battle, so from now on, Tristan will be your new disclaimer-person-guy-thingie.
Tristan: BWUAHHAHAHAHHA! I'VE WON! Qk does not own YGO. Or me. Or the right to kill me.

OOOOOOOOKaiba was in a perfect mood right now. Absolutely perfect. After all, why shouldn't he feel so perfect? He had a perfect 5000 year old freak who thought he was his perfect long lost g/f, who, by the way, was missing a few perfect screws, got turned into a perfect rat and flung into a whole array of perfect events. Avoiding the eerie gaze of Razatul, he briefly lost himself in a whirl of his thoughts, remembering all of the 'joys' that just added to his perfect day.
1) Forced into a project with Wheeler. Bad for a number of reasons...
"My love, how were you revived?" Razatul asked.
2) Forced to talk to Wheeler. Also not the greatest thing in the world.
"Uhm... the... uh..." Kaiba dug into his brain, pulling up all of his wit and cunning to fashion an acceptable reply. "My Light Magic was always very powerful. I was able to create a spell to revive myself if ever this... uhm... situation came up." Yeah, that sounded okay.
3) Forced to go over to Wheeler's house to work on a project. A health hazard right there.
"Ah, yes... Your intelligence was the envy of everyone far and wide!" Razatul praised. "How foolish of me to think you were gone from this world forever. You would have never left yourself unprotected!"
4) Met the mutt's mutt, which was named after himself. That was just aggravating. But flattering for the dog.
Kaiba forced a weak smile. How long would he have to do this for? He cringed slightly at the thought, yet Razatul seemed completely oblivious to his discomfort. Maybe that was for the best. Didn't want he suddenly seeing that Kaiba wasn't his dead girlfriend from 5000 years ago. Well, it wasn't like he wanted to be perceived as a female either. It's just that he didn't want to give Razatul anymore more of a reason to come after Kaiba's throat for... impersonating his long lost love, perhaps?
5) Randomly turned into a rodent by Razatul. Wasn't that fun?
"My love, you are quiet in my presence." Razatul said slowly, causing Kaiba to subconsciously hold his breath. "Is it because... you... have moved on?"
6) Chased around Wheeler's house by said freak-of-nature, and nearly caught twice.
Moved on... Hmm... How to reply? How to act? The thought appealed to Kaiba, to just say yes and be done with it. Who knows? Maybe Razatul would be so torn that he'd agree to be Kaiba's personal slave, providing he didn't to return to his... er... senses. Or he'd get angry enough with Kaiba that he'd kill him anyway. Or, Kaiba could say he didn't 'move on,' but that would probably mean having to think up another excuse to explain why he was being so silent.
7) Forced to live in a hamster cage.
Kaiba didn't say anything, just looked at Razatul, like he was the stupidest creature on the planet... or like he was Tea... or Joey... or just plain Razatul. Hopefully, as it usually did with everyone else, it would make Razatul feel like he just asked a very stupid question - which in fact, he did - and make him shut up. But that'd just be too easy, now wouldn't it?
8) Had to be saved by Wheeler twice.
"You haven't, have you?" Razatul's voice went up in panic, as he grabbed onto Kaiba's arm once more. "Out of loneliness? Have you been on your own without me for so long that you had no choice? Whilst it is true that one cannot live without love, you haven't turned your back on me? You haven't forgotten me?"
9) Eventually caught and then 'drained of life.'
"Uh... no, of course not... my... love." Kaiba winced. Razatul's grip was death to his arm. "How could I forget... someone of your... calibre, and intellect and... charm?" He forced a bigger smile. Razatul didn't return the smile, but loosened up a bit.
10) 'Healed' by Bakura.
"You flatter me, my sweet Gaelia." Razatul replied, a suddenly twisted grin blossoming on his face.
11) Dragged to this God-Forsaken place.
'Don't I ever...' Kaiba thought bitterly to himself.
12) Perceived as a girl by Razatul, which was creepy enough with anyone else, but with Razatul...
"But your words still sound as though you forget some of me." Razatul's eerie little grin just grew by a thousand miles. "Perhaps we should leave this place, and I shall remind you of some of the great things I did with you whenever we were alone together, my mate." (Yes... I wrote it...)
13) Offered to 'hit the sack' with said creepy 5000 year old guy. (I think we have a winner!)
Kaiba's eyes expanded to their maximum volume, which were, as of right now, the size of elephants. "Whoa, I'm sorry... WHAT!" Kaiba shrieked, jumping back out of Razatul's grasp. (Is this getting creepier by the second or what? RUN! RUN RUN RUN!)
"W-what is the matter, Gaelia?" Razatul blinked, confused.
"You are a very sick man and you need to get your head examined!" Kaiba snapped, running the same way Joey went.
"Wait! My love! Why do you flee from me? Do you not love me?" Razatul's pleading voice cried to him.
"No! And I never will you insane fool! You disgust me in every way possible!" Kaiba called back over his shoulder, and - when he looked - saw Razatul tearing after him. This, of course, only made Kaiba run faster.
OOOOOOOO
Joey was running towards the two distant little figures that he saw from afar which he assumed were Yami and Bakura. He was thoroughly exhausted, however, and he was quiet close to collapsing. And, as every tired person in every work of fiction known to man, Joey tripped and fell flat on his face.
"Ohhh... that hurt..." Joey grunted, pushing himself up onto his knees. "What'd I trip over anyway?" He looked behind himself and saw a rock sticking up out of the ground. "Typical."
He got up and was about to start running again, when he stopped and looked at the rock again. It wasn't just any rock. It was a chunk of metal! Smooth metal, pointy too, which meant it must have been shaped into something.
"I wonder what it is..." Joey murmured to no one in particular, and grabbed the metal, and gave a little tug, trying to pull it out.
Nothing doing. It didn't budge a bit. So Joey tugged a little harder, only to have the same results. Finally, he simply grabbed onto the rock with both hands and pulled at it with all his might. Well, as much might as he could muster. He was still pretty tired, and it was a lot harder than he thought to pull out a triangle thingie.
"Oh forget it!" Joey snapped, and simply ran off towards Yami and Bakura once more.
'Obviously,' he thought to himself, 'a pointy chunk of metal won't do any good for anyone anyway.' (Truer words were never spoken, Wheeler. THAT wasn't a sentence you'd eat later.)
OOOOOOOOYami was pretty tired too. He had been tugging at his bonds for what seemed like forever, pausing only to swear and yell at Bakura whenever he lifted his head and snorted in amusement. Yami was anything but amused. How dare some common filth such as Bakura leave the great pharaoh trapped like this? (The title's gone to his head, everyone.) And by a Tomb Robber no less!
Normally, in a situation like this, he'd either talk to Yugi or try to make the best of the situation. He'd even try to do some breathing exercises! But not now. Now he was just too furious that some low-life Tomb Robber was taking full advantage of his misery but constantly snickering at him. He dared any god to make try to worsen his situation.
"Yami! Bakura!" Joey's voice called from afar, as the two Yamis looked up at the blond rushing towards them.
Speak of the devil.
Joey finally made it over to them, panting and out of breath. "Guys... I managed to stall Razatul. Any luck with... whatever it is Bakura was supposed to be making?"
"Yes, I'm finished." Bakura pointed to a vial at his feet.
Yami's eyes widened. "You made that twenty minutes ago! What were you working on all this time?"
Bakura smirked. "Future projects and experiments."
Joey broke in as Yami was about to say more. "Anyways, how are we gonna get that thing to him?"
"Just make him drink it." Bakura replied, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Joey and Yami looked at one another and exchanged looks.
"Oh yes," Yami rolled his eyes (he wasn't very happy because he was still tied up), "I can see it now. 'Here Razatul! Drink this! Yes, I know it smells kinda funky, but it has a nice little bang at the end!' It's foolproof!"
Bakura glared at him. "Of course we don't just go up and give it to him! We have to be sneaky!"
"So... we run up behind him, grab him, and shove it down his throat?" Joey asked.
"Exactly."
Yami's patience was fast depleting. "Oh, that'll work! Geez, Bakura! When I left you to think up a plan to get rid of Razatul, I knew that you couldn't exactly do your best with the few ingredients you had. But there's a difference between not doing your best and just plain sucking beyond all limits!"
"And what about you, pharaoh?" Bakura snapped. "You thought you couldn't just help out every now and then? But no, the pharaoh was too busy screaming at everyone to untie you-"
"Which no one did!" Yami butt in.
"-And because of that, it made you totally useless. Besides, I didn't see you coming up with anything else. So until you can find an alternative, this is the plan, and we're sticking to it. So there." And with that, Bakura got up and brushed himself off. "I think now would be a good time to find Razatul. Come, mortal."
"Wait, you're just going to leave me here?" Yami shrieked.
Bakura and Joey just stared at him with blank looks.
"In other words, untie me!" Yami snapped.
"Why would we do that?" Bakura replied, a smug sense of satisfaction radiating off of him. (Whoa... where'd THAT come from?)
At this point, Yami had had quite enough, and began to swear loudly and profusely in both English and Egyptian, and started squirming around in the bounds that were holding him.
"Hey, look! It's Kaiba!" Joey pointed towards a small dot that was tearing towards him. "And... I think that's Razatul running after him!"
"Well, then, if he's coming to us, then there's no point in us going to meet him halfway. At this distance, we have a better chance of dodging whatever he sends at us." Bakura shrugged, then raised an eyebrow at Yami. "And if we're not going anywhere, then there's no point in untying the pharaoh since we won't be leaving him alone."
"That's such a stupid excuse, Tomb Robber!" Yami snarled.
Bakura just smirked.
OOOOOOOO'This is the last time I ever do any project with Wheeler!' Kaiba thought furiously to himself. 'I'll pay off the damn teacher! I'll threaten her! I'll get her fired! Killed! But I'm not working with that mutt ever again!'
"Gaelia! Gaelia!" Razatul's voice rang out from behind him. "Come back to me!"
'He just doesn't give up, does he!' Kaiba told himself. 'God, is it that possible to hit your head that hard?'
"Kaiba! What are you doing coming back over here?" Joey called to the CEO.
"You try having him want to make out with you every minute!" Kaiba shot back, running behind Bakura and Joey and using them as a shield.
Yami didn't exactly get what was going on at the moment, what with his memory being diminished and Bakura's not, but he decided it would be safer to just remain quiet about all of it.
Razatul was quiet for a moment as well when he caught up to the tiny group. His eyes looked back and forth at all of them, calculating, and finally landing upon Joey. "You did this." He said softly, but viciously.
Joey blinked. "Uh... what?"
"You did this." Razatul hissed. "You took my love away from me!"
Joey unconsciously took a step back. "Uhm... no, I didn't?"
"You've taken everything from me, boy." Razatul snarled, his eyes blazing, as he drew his sword once more. "Now we finish this."
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOO
