InterGalactic Milkman


The doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Ryou called. Bakura snorted.

"Like I would?" he asked. Ryou ignored his yami.

He opened the door. A strange, furry creature with cat's head, overlarge ears, and humanoid body wit short legs encased in pants and overlong arms with three-fingered hands stood there. Huge chibi eyes stared up at him.

The creature held up a bottle of milk for Ryou to take. The white haired teen did so, dazed.

"Umn, who are you?" he asked.

"Plant begonias... in May." the creature announced.

"... What?"

"And cover them... with mulch."

"Huh!"

"The intergalactic milkman has done his job." the creature said, and turned and walked off. Ryou felt Bakura come up behind him. He turned around, still holding the bottle of milk.

"That... was a milkman." he said almost dreamily.

"It looked like some sort of Shadow Monster." Bakura said.

"But it was a milkman!" Ryou exclaimed.

"Why are you not more worried that it looked like a Shadow Monster?" his yami queried. Ryou could not get his mind away from one fact, though.

"They don't have milkmen in Japan!"

"Isn't the Shadow Monster thing weirder?"

"They don't have milkmen in Japan!"

Bakura sighed, obviously accepting that his hikari cared less about the form of the creature than the purpose.

"And he was babbling about begonias!"

"... What's a begonia? Is it good to eat?"

"It's a flower."

"... Not good to eat."
