Willowwind: I'm back! Fear my wrath! MUAHAHAHAHA...

Legolas: (sweatdrops)

Willowwind: ONE HUNDRED AND ONE REVIEWS! I'M SO PROUD OF ME!

Legolas: ...

Willowwind: So...here's the reviews, then...

Reviews:

Nachzes Black-Rider: ...Who fed you sugar?

Waffles4eva: Hmm...too bad Bakura doesn't think of that kind of thing...too busy with planning up world domination schemes, I guess...

OneWhoWalksWithPigeons: Ooh, really? I may have to try that sometime... (grabs coke) Ryou! Could you bring the Ring over here for a moment?

Her Sweetness: Thank you very very muchly. (chibi smile)

Malik Ishtar Sekhmet: Er...Ryou's implements are usually kitchen utensils. Maybe I'll go off on another branch (such as books) if I run out of current ideas.

Taylor: (blinks) Were you dropped on your head as a child or something? (hides under desk) I'M UPDATING DON'T KILL ME! Oh, yes, and here's some Halls for that cough of yours. (smile)

Sami Ryou's Hikari: Uh...what are Anzac biscuits? About the link...I have a friend who draws anime really well...and she said she's going to do some fanart for this fic, so I've asked her if she could do that pic...and then I could give the link...but until then... And the Ryou's girlfriend thing...I kinda felt bad... I hope all is forgiven now...

Hazel-Beka: America? Who the heck told you that I lived in AMERICA? I'm 300 percent Canadian, thankies. And we do have numbered streets. Lots of 'em.

Afterlyfe: (imitates Bakura) Photoshop? What is this Photoshop you speak of? (stops imitating) The Photoshop idea would work if it was anyone but a 5000 year old spirit... I don't think he'd know Photoshop if it smacked him upside the head. Thanks for reviewing, by the way.

My Seto: Sorry. The tardiness of this chapter will be explained soon. Look down there.

koiyattsu: Okay. I'm updating.

O.owickedo.O: Trying to hurry! Typing as fast as I can! Oh, thanks for reviewing, btw.

Anonymous (a.k.a. Megan): Fine. I'm updating. And you KNOW why it hasn't been getting longer. Have some pity on the poor people who don't. WHOO REVIEW NUMBER 100 THANK YOU MEGAN I WILL FEED YOU SUGAR!

Cyndane: Of course he doesn't know much about ruling. He's used to Ancient Egypt...I pity our world when he takes over... Then again, I pity it now...

Willowwind: I GOT A HUNDRED REVIEWS! BETTER THAN THAT, I GOT A HUNDERED AND ONE REVIEWS! I'VE GOT TRIPLE DIGDET REVIEWS! EVERYONE GO TELL RYOU WHAT YOU WANT AND HE'LL MAKE IT! WHOO! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Legolas: (sweatdrops)

Ryou: (fumes) I WANT MY RING BACK!

Willowwind: Heh...the coke idea worked. Maybe I'll write it back in later, if you're very good, Ryou.

Ryou: (mutters) (death glare)

Legolas: Anyhow...I'm supposed to tell you why she hasn't been updating. You see, her parents somehow got it into their head that she was spending too much time on the computer, so they restricted her time to an hour a week. She gets on about five minutes a day, except on Saturday, when she gets half an hour. So she hasn't exactly had time to write. She's not even supposed to be on now. She's pretending she has homework.

Willowwind: Anyhoo...ON WITH THE FICCIE!

Disclaimer: Don't own. (click) Don't own. (click) Don't own. (click)

Warnings: Same old...same old... AAH BAKURA IT'S GOING TO EAT YOU! Heh...sugar...no, nothing is going to eat Bakura.

Important Note: Bakura talking to Ryou through the mental link will be written in bold letters surrounded by ''. Ryou talking to Bakura through the mental link will be italics surrounded by ''. Bakura's journal is still written in italics.

The Secret Journal of Bakura the Great

Chapter Ten (A/N: DOUBLE DIDGETS! WHOO!)

'Ryou?'

'What is it?'

'Can I come out now?'

'My answer has not changed from two minutes ago, Bakura.'

'But I want out...'

'Too bad. You blew your chance for today.'

'I'll stop bothering you if you let me out...'

'I doubt it. You haven't stopped bothering me since you arrived.'

'People can change...'

'Sometimes. But you're not a person. You're a spirit. And I doubt that you can somehow figure out how to change when you've stayed the same for who-knows-how-many years.'

'Please?'

'No.'

'Pleeeease?'

'No. And if you keep bothering me, I won't let you out for a week.'

'If you don't let me out, I'll possess you.'

'Oh, threatening me, now, are we? You're not making this any easier for yourself.'

'I'm not threatening. I'm telling the truth.'

'I see...can I faint with shock now?'

'Stop being sarcastic.'

'And if I don't feel like it?'

'Um...'

'That's better.'

'What happened at school today, anyways?'

'What makes you think anything happened?'

'You're tormenting me. You usually torment me after you've had a bad day.'

'A little while ago, you were going on about how I always torment you.'

'Is it my fault that you keep having bad days?'

'Usually.'

'...That wasn't very nice.'

'Nor are you. Now leave me alone.'

'And if I don't feel like it?'

'You are digging a deeper grave for yourself, Yami.'

'I want out.'

'I had gathered that, yes.'

'Can I come out now? If I promise to be good?'

'No. Why do you want out so badly, anyways? You're never this insistent about getting out. You weren't planning on GOING anywhere, were you?'

'Uh...'

'I thought so. You're still grounded. And I'm not letting you out.'

'Well, now I know you had a bad day.'

'Yes. As a matter of fact, I did.'

'I win.'

'Or you would have, if you weren't still in your soulroom, correct?'

'Oh, yes.'

'Where do you have to go, anyways?'

'Um...out.'

'Out where?'

'Out of the soulroom, for starters...'

'Well, I'm afraid that's where your luck runs out. Unless you have a valid place to be once you get out.'

'I'm...going to get myself kidnapped.'

'Oh, really? This is getting interesting.'

'So can I go out?'

'As tempting as losing you for good is, I have to say no.'

'Why?'

'Because you're grounded. You can get kidnapped some other time.'

'But they'll only kidnap me today.'

'Ah well, there go my dreams...'

'...Or you could let me out...'

'Nope.'

'I want out.'

'Too bad. And if you say another word, I won't ever let you out. I'll go chuck the ring in some sort of fire.'

'Ooh! Mount Doom! To destroy the Ring! Can I come?'

OoOoOoO

Stupid hikari. Won't let me out. Now that stupid picture is going to be posted all over that stupid Intra- Intro- thingee. Now what am I going to do? I could actually carry out my threat and possess Ryou, but that wouldn't make him very happy. He'd probably hit me over the head with something else. I think he got a new kitchen utensil.

Maybe I could figure out a way to get Bakura-bunny to go for me...but I'm supposed to go too! And if I don't get out of this stupid soulroom soon, I won't have enough time to get the Pharaoh to come along! Stupid hikari...all my plans would work out perfectly if it weren't for him. I could probably be ruling the world now, if it weren't for him.

How am I supposed to get out of here?

Maybe if I wander around a bit, I can find a way out of this place...

Scratch that. Already tried it.

So, what now? I'm bored...

Maybe I could go bother hikari some more...

OoOoOoO

'Ryou?'

'NO! YOU MAY NOT COME OUT! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!'

OoOoOoO

Well...that didn't go so well...

OoOoOoO

Bakura?

Yes, Ryou?

I have to go out. And I don't want you bothering me.

Um...

So, I'll let you come out if you promise to be good and stay here.

Um...

Just promise already, so I can leave!

Right...I won't go anywhere.

Good. You better not. If you do, I won't let you out of your soulroom for a year!

Yes, Ryou.

Alright. Out you come.

OoOoOoO

I blinked as I stepped out of the semi-darkness of my soulroom into the brightness of the Sun shining through Ryou's windows.

"I'm expecting to find you here when I get back."

I turned to face my hikari, nodding and smiling as innocently as possible.

"If not..." He gestured towards the table, and I nearly fainted with horror as I saw what lay on the polished brown surface.

A milk carton!

(A/N: (falls off her chair laughing))

OoOoOoO

Ryou's gone. Now I can make plans. I need to go, and I don't know where it is. So...I have an idea on how to solve both the problem of getting to the location and the problem of how to get the Pharaoh-baka to come with me. But I'm not telling you, so there! Nyah!

Oh, hurt your feelings, did I? See if I care! I'm not apologizing! And you can't tell Ryou, because he's gone!

Oh, not talking to me now? Fine. I don't need you anyways.

Heh. Do I care if you're trying to cry? You can't! You're a book! I laugh at you! MUAHAHAH

(scribble)

No, I did not just jump because the telephone rang. I was not startled. Stop laughing at me. I don't like you anymore. I'm going to ignore you and go find my REAL friends. So there.

OoOoOoO

I picked up the telephone, and was surprised to hear the Pharaoh's midget on the other end.

"Ryou?"

I changed my voice slightly to make myself sound like my hikari. That's one thing I CAN achieve.

"Yes?"

"I was just wondering if you needed a ride to the school for the talent show tonight.

"Um...actually, I can't go."

"What? But you're part of the show! You were going to play the piano!"

Ryou plays the piano?

"Yeah, but...my bunny's gone missing again. I think I know where he is."

"Really? Where is he?"

"I think my yami took him. Bakura – my yami – was going on all day about getting to..." I checked the letter I had gotten. "...111th st. and 81st ave."

"And you think your yami took your bunny?"

"Yeah. Bakura hates Bakura."

"Um...okay. I can give you a lift, if you need it..."

"Yes, actually. My yami took my car."

"He what?"

"He took my car."

"I didn't know he could drive."

"Neither did I. He must've picked up off of me when I took him places."

"Couldn't you just take off the Ring and put him back in his soulroom?"

Uh oh. Time to think fast.

"Yeah...but...then the bunny would be out there all by himself. This way, he at least looks like he's owned by someone."

"Oh, I guess. Well, I'll be right over."

"Great. Thanks."

"Bye." There was a click on the other end, and I assume that means that the other phone has been hung up.

Then, I realized two major problems with my scheme.

I must bring the bunny. It won't go over well if I'm holding the bunny when I get in to Yugi's car.

Also...I'm transparent. Ah well. Nothing I can do about that. Maybe Yugi won't notice.

OoOoOoO

"Do you think you could sneak in unnoticed and find a good hiding spot?"

Bakura-bunny nodded.

"Good. Now get ready to go."

OoOoOoO

"Is everything ready for tonight?"

"Yes, yami."

"Good. We want to impress our guests, after all. Oh, and hikari?"

"Yes?"

"Once you capture those three, put that picture up on the internet."

"Yes, yami! Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Now go out and pick up the tomb robber and his company when they come."

"Yes, yami." The blond Egyptian left the room, grinning from ear to ear. He liked the internet...

OoOoOoO

Willowwind: (is laughing hysterically)

Legolas: Ignore her. She had a croissant for breakfast, and croissants make her hyper, for some weird reason.

Willowwind: Originally, this was going to be longer, but if I tried that, it wouldn't get up for another week. So I'll do two updates in less time. Again, sorry for the delay on this chappie. Oh, and one more thing. If anyone can think of kitchen utensils that are not normally considered weapons that I haven't already used, I'd love to hear them. Oh, and I'll be using the milk carton again, as it didn't get properly used this time.

Legolas: (sighs) You know milk cartons don't hurt, right?

Willowwind: Yup! But Bakura-san doesn't! He seems to be getting very attached to that journal of his, you know? Now review, or I will never post again! MUAHAHAHAHA! LEGOLAS! LEAVE MY CROISSANTS ALONE!
