Does Anybody Even Really READ These Titles? Can I Just Stop Writing Them or Will I Get Beaten like a Banshee?
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO. So... yeah... go away.
Tristan: THAT'S MY JOB!
Disclaimer: ... GO CHOKE ON A FROG! /runs away like a Billy Goat/
DEATH TO ALL BILLY GOATS AND TURKEYS! BWUAHAHHAHAHHHHHAHA!
D/N: Ehehehe... I'm running out of excuses... So... yes, well, I was very distracted by my schoolwork, and as a result... yes... I gave you guys a very long delay. And for that, I am sorry. So, so, so incredibly sorry. Terribly sorry. DON'T HURT ME! /hides under a banana cake/ Eww... I hate bananas... AND GUESS WHAT! I'm working on another story right now! (Don't worry, I'm still gonna finish this one and the Fantastic Freaks before I even think about posting this other one) It's gonna be a pre-written story, so there won't be any excuse if I don't post up a chapter! BUT! It will not be a Yu-Gi-Oh! story... (Eriso: ... I'm supposed to be awed, aren't I?) ... Yes. ANYWAYS, it'll be a... believe it or not... cause I sure can't... a Harry Potter story! YAY! And Harry Potter will not be in it! YAY! Well, maybe for a second or two... But I don't like him. So I won't dwell too much on his existence. Anyway (I say that too much), on with the chappie:D
But First, A Word... Well, TO Our... Well, MY Reviewers. Not Sponsors. I Have No Sponsors:
Prozac pandA: I like giraffes:D Sorry... stupid thing to say. :P (Eriso: I DON'T WANT A LLAMA! I WANT AN EVIL BUNNY RABBIT!) ... And she's also quite stupid. So... What can I say about the delays but... Sorrypleasedon'thurtme! (Eriso: Kaiba gets no brownie cause I'M EATING IT! BWUAHAHHA! /eats brownie like the crazed freak that she is/) Yeah, I've been noticing a lot of people want to join the W.L.J.H.a.N.W.G.t.S.a.A.o.P.p.o.R.C.H.S.a.N.t.D.C.H.D.J.B.H! club, so I'm probably gonna make a website and then... uhm... I dunno... make a section where you can join the club dedicated to Joey's hair:D No, I haven't reached my dad. He's too stupid to get to. He's like a Billy Goat. Dumb. BWUAHAHHAHAH! DEATH TO ALL BILLY GOATS AND TURKEYS! And don'tcha worry, I LOVE long reviews! YAY! Especially when they talk about absolutely nothing:D I got a new best friend! WHOPEE! ... Remind me never to do that again...
E.Tphonehome: XD I love your username, man! It's spiffy and spunky:D Anyways, hope ya like the chapter!
anaraz: You know, I'm actually not sure... I've got the weirdest urge to just leave him tied up in this little world of Razatul's while everyone else goes home... Maybe I should... Hmm... Anyways, enjoy the chappie:D
mandapandabug: GASP! You mean... the magical sticker isn't making you feel all lovely and goodness inside:'( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE MAGICAL STICKER DID NOT WORK! Excuse me while I go cry to myself for a while... Oh, and don't forget to send me a Joey clone! YAY JOEY:D ... AND HIS HAIR! Oh, but before I forget, no, it's not yaoi. And it's not cause I hate it or anything, but it's just because of one, simple, little reason. I absolutely suck at writing anything relatively romantic. Angst... yeah, every now and then. Not lately though. :P But I can't write anything thing that consists of a love interest between two people - yaoi, yuri, or not. So, I don't want you to start hating me if I start making this a yaoi because it will - I can assure you, it will suck. (Eriso: It doesn't need the yaoi to suck. It's doing a fine job of that right now.) ... I am going to hurt you soon.
R.F.K.a.'...': You know... I'm gonna have to put up a blue and orange pickle detector soon... Just as soon as someone invents one... :D I'm glad you're liking it so far! I do try my best. :D And of course, since I'm just such an amazingly talented, eloquent, smart, witty, funny, and positively perfect writer (Eriso: AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAhAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA!) ... (Eriso: Oh, wait, you were serious, weren't you?) ... I'm going to hurt you. Oh, by the way, a little message from Prozac pandA from her review: And...to the magical R.F.K.a.'...': ARGHH...YOU MUST MAKE A USERNAME...IT'S JUST KILLING ME...GOOD LORDY, CHILD! Word for word. :P But don't worry! I don't mind:D ANYWAYS, enjoy the chapter!
Hazel-Beka: Ehehehee... ace... that's my new favourite word from now on. :D I've gotta make a story just plain dedicated to that word... Or not. Whatever. :P I'm tired right now. And hyper. Not a good match for me. AND I'M MAKING JOEY'S HAIR SHRINE! ME! NOT YOU! ME! /rabid beaver face/ Oh that's right. I went there. Don't worry, all will be revealed soon enough! ... And I want that promised pie... (Eriso: - -;;)
Flame Swordswoman:D I know, I'm so funny and clever aren't I? I even amuse myself! I'll be in the middle of class and everyone's really quiet, and then all of a sudden I'll think of something funny and just start laughing randomly and everyone will look at me like I'm a freak and then I die a little inside... Uhm... forget I said that. Now we're even:D You scare me, and I scare you!
Rose Goddess of the Dead aka Misty :D: (Eriso: MY GRAMMER IS JUST FINE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I AM SMART AND PERFECT AND LONG LIVE CLIPPIT! WHO NEEDS GRAMMER? SPELLED, SPELT, SPELLED, SPELT! IT DOES THE SAME THING!) ... You'll have to excuse her... She's stupid. (Eriso: GWUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AND DON'T TOUCH MY EVIL BUNNIES! MY BUNNIES! MINE! /eye twitch/) O.o Whoa...
OOOOOOOOJoey groaned with annoyance as he looked at Razatul. "You mean we're gonna sword-fight again?" Joey whined.
Razatul growled at him. "No. You've had your chance to die honourably. You've lost that chance. You've lost any chance you once had to die painlessly. Now your death shall be slow and torturous. You will die the death of a coward, and your name will forever be immortalised as the One Who Died by Razatul's Hands."
D/N: You know, I just noticed something. It's going to be awfully hard for Bakura to get Razatul to drink that poison. So I think I'll just leave Razatul distracted for a while.
"What, I can't get another chance?" Joey chuckled nervously.
"Just keep him busy, mortal..." Bakura said so softly Joey was positive that he was only one who heard.
"No." Razatul replied bluntly, swinging his sword up, giving Joey mere seconds to move to the side. If he still had his hair, he wouldn't now.
"Eep!" Joey... eeped, as he ran off. "You're gonna have to catch me first!"
Razatul sighed, and shook his head. "I really do hate it when they delay the inevitable."
While this was happening in the thirty seconds that it took place (Dialogues always seem longer when you write them... and they you read them...), Bakura was busy running towards Yami and his little rock with Kaiba tagging along behind.
"I thought we were supposed to poison Razatul! How is running away going to help?" Kaiba asked.
"We're not running away!" Bakura shot back. "We're tactically retreating!"
"Oh. I see." Kaiba replied.
As they finally reached Yami - and after he finally stopped trying to blow out their eardrums with his raving - Bakura dived at his little bag. "Untie the pharaoh." Bakura told the CEO.
Kaiba looked curiously at Bakura for a moment, as it was quite an amusing sight to see Bakura rustling around in that sack, but did as he was told... for once.
"Oh, so now you untie me!" Yami snapped. "What's so different about now than ten minutes ago? What if I don't want to be untied? What if I just want to stay here and enjoy the scenery?" Kaiba sighed loudly, and looked over at Bakura.
Bakura didn't pause from his task, but replied, "If you don't shut up, pharaoh, we may as well just leave you here. Would that satisfy you?" Yami fell silent. "And as to what's so different from ten minutes ago... Well..." Bakura pulled out a little box. "Nothing, really. I just felt like you've suffered enough. Besides, maybe this way you'll see the genius in all my plans and finally leave me alone when I try to pull off some of my amazing plans."
Yami eyed the box. "What's in that?"
"A package for Razatul." Bakura grinned, opening the box, showing the others the contents.
Yami and Kaiba's eyes widened as they saw what was in it.
OOOOOOOOJoey, on the other hand, was busy running back and forth, trying to evade Razatul's oncoming strikes. "Why'd I get rid of my sword?" he muttered to himself. "Oh, that's right. Because I was too exhausted to carry it." The second he remembered how tired he was before, he started to slow down. "I just need... a little nap..."
"Surrendering, boy?" Razatul's voice broke into his thoughts, as a sudden burst of wind came from Joey's left side.
"Hey!" Joey snapped, looking at his wrist, and seeing where his watch now lay on the ground. Part of it was still hanging on his arm. "That was a good watch! I liked that watch!"
"I'll be happy to reunite you with it." Razatul replied, lunging forward again, as Joey's instincts kicked in again and he jerked back in time. The sudden striking fear that he was about to be killed washed over him, and once again, he took off running again.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Joey screamed, waving his arms around as he began to run in circles. But they were wide circles so Razatul couldn't just stick his foot his and trip him.
Razatul sighed and shook his head again. "This is getting infuriating..."
OOOOOOOO"You're never going to pull it off, Bakura." Yami told him. "It simply won't work."
"Of course it will!" Bakura insisted. "He won't be able to see the poison on this! It's foolproof!"
"Then our fools have gotten better and evolved into idiots!." Kaiba snapped. "Don't you think it'll be a little strange to just offer that to him? Don't you think he'll suspect something?"
"Possibly."
"It'll never work!" Yami said again. "Unless you know a way to blind Razatul so he won't see what it is..."
"Trust me, pharaoh, he'll never suspect a thing. If we just say it's a gift, he'll accept it readily!" Bakura grinned.
Kaiba began to massage his temples. "Bakura, let me just tell you this right now so you won't figure it out the hard way; You can't just walk up to a deranged freak and offer him a cupcake without him thinking something's wrong with it!"
Bakura looked at the chocolate cupcake with the vanilla icing on it, and then to Kaiba. "No, of course I can't. He'll definitely suspect something if I do it."
"Thank-you!" Kaiba sighed. "See? It won't work-"
"That's why you're going to do it." Bakura interrupted.
Kaiba blinked. "Excuse me?"
"Let me put it simply." Bakura said. "You're going to waltz up to Razatul and tell him you made this cupcake for him as a present."
"W-what!" Kaiba's jaw fell open.
Yami pounded on his hand in enlightenment. "I get it! Razatul thinks Kaiba is Gaelia! He's in love with Gaelia, so if he's offered the cupcake by his beloved, he'll take it!"
"That'll never work!" Kaiba protested.
"Well, I suppose you'll be the first to find out, now won't you, Priest?" Bakura grinned, putting the chocolate cupcake with the vanilla icing back into its chocolate-cupcake-with-the-vanilla-icing box. (:D Awesomeness. XD) "Let's go."
OOOOOOOOJoey, while he was in his I'm-freaked-out-so-I'm-gonna-run-around-in-circles-and-hopefully-this-will-protect-me craze, was looking every so often at the little group huddled around Yami's rock. Seeing that they were finally coming for him, he decided to run towards them and meet them halfway.
"You can't run from me forever, boy!" Razatul snapped, lunging towards Joey again, nicking him on his back.
Joey nearly stumbled, but managed to keep his footing. "No, but I can try!"
D/N: Well, I suppose we can just skip the little scene of Joey running towards the group. It's obvious that Razatul's right behind him, so... yeah, nothing to important. Jump forward two minutes:D
Joey finally was about 20 metres (I use the Metric System.) away from the others. "GUYS! A LITTLE HELP HERE!"
Bakura looked over at Kaiba. "Show time." Bakura plopped the box into his hands and gave the CEO a shove forward.
"I hate you, Bakura." Kaiba called over his shoulder, but ran towards Razatul nevertheless.
Joey saw Kaiba coming and felt greatly relieved, and even more so when he saw Kaiba was carrying a box.
"Razatul! My... uh... love!" Kaiba forced a smile onto his face. Unfortunately, it only made him look constipated. (XD I was watching Red Green the other day... )
Razatul stopped chasing Joey, and looked over at Kaiba with confusion in his eyes. "Yes, Gaelia? My love, have you returned to me?"
Kaiba cringed. "You bet. And uh... to show there's no hard feelings... I got you a present." Kaiba pushed the box forward.
Joey looked on in curiosity, eager to see what plan Bakura had cooked up. Razatul looked at the box, then at Kaiba, with hope and joy in his eyes. It was quite a nauseating face.
Razatul opened the package and pulled it out.
"A cupcake?" Joey cried out.
Razatul ignored him. "My love! You have make a baked good just for me! This is truly a sign of your love!" And with that, the cupcake was devoured in two bites. "It's..." And suddenly the joy from Razatul's face faded. "My love... that... you've poisoned me!"
Kaiba grinned. "That's right Razatul. That's for turning me into a rat!"
Fury grew in Razatul's eyes. "You're not Gaelia! You're that idiot that I drained life-energy from!"
"Once again, you're right." Kaiba grinned, stepping back to get into line with Joey.
"Nice job, Kaiba! Wow, I didn't think that'd work!" Joey said excitedly. "I mean, it actually worked!"
"Yeah... I guess Bakura's not as stupid as I thought." Kaiba added.
"I'll... I'll kill you both!" Razatul snarled, raising his sword up, his eyes blazing red.
Kaiba and Joey jumped back. "I take back what I said!" Joey cried out, trying to shield himself with his arms."
Suddenly, Razatul's sword fell out of his hands, as he stumbled forward. "Gaelia..." he moaned, collapsing.
Neither of the two teens moved.
Finally, Joey went up and poked Razatul, and jumped back quickly. Looking up at Kaiba, he said, "I think... he's..."
"It technically wasn't us who killed him." Kaiba replied calmly. "It was all Bakura's idea. Don't worry, Joey. I think God will accept that it was in self-defence. I mean, he started it."
Joey nodded uneasily. "Yeah, but the guy only snapped because he lost the love of his life. I mean... He wasn't... evil or anything."
"He was trying to kill us." Kaiba stated a-matter-of-factly. "I think that makes him evil."
Joey was about to say more, when suddenly an enraged roar erupted which seemed to come from all around them. The two screamed at the top of their lungs, and leapt away from Razatul.
"R-relax, Kaiba!" Joey said. "I don't think it was him!"
Kaiba nodded, and then his face darkened. "What do you mean relax?" Kaiba snapped. "You were the one who screamed! I only screamed because you screamed!"
"Oh... whatever." Joey rolled his eyes. "Where did that yell come from then?"
At that point, a very furious Bakura stomped up, followed by Yami who seemed to be trying very hard to not burst out laughing.
"What's wrong with you?" Joey asked Bakura.
"I forgot to put the poison on it..." Bakura growled. "But he died anyway..."
No sooner had Bakura said this than Yami collapsed on the ground, laughing his head off with tears streaming down his face. "Y-you're an amazing chef, Bakura! You've got such a talent with food!"
"SHUT-UP, PHARAOH!" Bakura roared, as he took the bottle of poison out. Sure enough, it was full to the brim.
"So... you killed Razatul with just your cooking?" Kaiba questioned.
"Yes!" Yami howled.
Bakura simply growled again, as he stalked over to Razatul and kicked his chest. "I am not that terrible at cooking!"
"I THINK RAZATUL'S CORPSE BEGS TO DIFFER!" Yami shrieked with laughter.
"It's NOT that funny!" Bakura glowered.
By this time, Joey had already joined Yami on the floor. Kaiba, while he was too sophisticated to join their little laughing craze, was possibly cracking up even more so than Joey.
Bakura's face flushed red. "Let's. Just. Go." He snarled, opening up a doorway to the Shadow Realm. He was just about to step inside of it, when he suddenly let out a yelp of pain and jumped back, clutching his stomach.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Razatul glared, his sword raised and moist with fresh blood...
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOO
D/N: GASPIES! Razatul's not dead? WOW! That was a plot twist! ... Okay, I've gotta stop doing that... Anyways... uhm... Sorry for the long delay! I actually had a totally different version of this chapter going. But then I realised it sucked, so I was like... whatever. And I made another one:D Hope you don't mind the cliff-hanger... TOO much... I'll try to update soon! (Let me know if there are any plot-holes or something you don't understand. I've gotta start cleaning up this story a bit.)
