Chapter 4: International House of Fools
I have never seen Yami so unenthused in my life. He seemed to mumble everything he said, and he stabbed himself in the hand with a fork four times. That's not funny; it's my hand! And Tea was looking at him weird. That was kind of funny, though. And I decided to rename the place, the Internation House of Fools. Fitting, isn't it? Especially when Malik walked in and Yami leaped up, pointing and yelled, "YOU!!!" Our waitress started laughing her head off for no reason after that. Her name was Ashlee.
So, Malik and Yami were arguing, Tea was sighing and rolling her eyes in this "not again" kind of way. She used her hands to hold up her head and watch the two battle it out. She looked really cute.
It turned out Malik was there for a week because Ishizu had business with the museum again. This meant that madness was sure to ensue the following week. But it also reminded me that it would remind Yami that he needed a reminder about who he was. Confusing. The gist of it was, Yami would want to "search for himself" again, and call it his "destiny". And although Tea would be more than happy to help him, I didn't want to see her cry when Yami left.
"Stupid Nameless Pharaoh!" Malik screamed, and then he turned around and left. Odion was waiting for him outside the door. Smart man. Babysitting Malik from afar must have been much easier on the ears. Heh. Malik was probably storming over to Bakura's house. This gave me an idea - maybe I could ask him what Bakura said about Miho. She had sounded so sad on the phone last night, I had decided to make her my pity friend until she was happy again. Like I said, I can't stand to see people cry. Unless they're crying out of happiness, but the only people I've ever known to do that were Joey and Tristan.
Yami watched Malik go with this blank face. He was gaping. A fly flew into his mouth. He was remembering... about his destiny. Dang.
This made my job just that much harder. I had to convince him not to pursue his destiny. But how in the world was I going to do that? I couldn't stand for anyone around me to be unhappy...
Jees, I'm such a weakling. Ushio was right. But that wasn't going to stop me from having these inner battles. But I didn't have to figure things out now, did I? Eh... Well it would have to be soon...
Malik stuck his tongue at us through the window as he walked away. Odion made him hold his hand. What a baby. He was not pleasant to be around... And neither was Miho. But I guess I could stomach her until she found another friend to leech off of. If I remember correctly, she was quite adept at that, particularly manipulating all of her crushers. Well, that wouldn't work for me, I didn't like her.
Yami was still gaping, so I took control of the body. I turned to Tea, who had noticed the change and was looking at me with bored interest.
"Yeah, Yugi?" she asked. "What is it?"
"...Who was paying again?" We both sweat dropped simultaneously.
"I dunno," Tea admitted boredly. "We... could... just run, but that wouldn't be very nice." Her eyes travelled over to our waitress, Ashlee, who was still laughing over Yami's outrageous outburst.
"Yeah... we could." My eyes flickered back towards Tea's face. "And we probably should, because I have somewhere to go." At this Tea looked up in interest.
"Somewhere to go?"
"Yeah, I have to go and buy cat food for my cat," I lied. I didn't want Tea around when I asked Joey what to do about Miho. I felt Yami probing my mind in puzzlement.
/Miho? What about her?/ he asked me.
"Oh. Okay. Well, see ya Yugi." Tea stood up, stretched her legs, and then we both left with people staring at us, not only because I'd gotten a foot shorter but because Yami had caused the biggest fight in IHOP since... last week, when him and the darker side of Bakura had crossed paths there. Now there was something I didn't care to think about.
