Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or anything related to it. It belongs to Kazuki Takahashi, Shounen Jump comics, 4kids entertainment and anyone else who owns it. Also I do not own John Wayne: his name or otherwise. And I don't own the title: North To Alaska.

Note: I am soooooo sorry that I didn't update sooner. I was bombarded with homework assignments, babysitting jobs and other things. But now I'm finally finished with another chapter! Yeah!

Thanks for all the nice reviews. Hope you enjoy chapter 2 of my fict!


Chapter 2: The Guests Are Arriving


After shoving the ancient spell scrolls back behind the long forgotten vegetables inside the refrigerator, Yami sat down to a John Wayne marathon.

Yugi entered the room shortly after and shook his head at the five-thousand-year-old Egyptian spirit. "How can you just sit there like a zombie? Don't you have anything better to do?"

"Not unless you want me to decorate your room like last time?" Yami answered with a smirk. Memories of his room being decorated like an exact replica of the Pharaoh's throne room flooded Yugi's mind.

"NO!"

"Didn't think so." Yami replied with a smug grin.

"Hmph." Yugi now changed the subject, "Anyway, I invited my friends over for a sleepover. They should be arriving any time now."

"And this concerns me…why?"

"Not everything has to be about you, you know!"

"Yes it does!" Yami shot back, indignantly.

"No it doesn't!"

"Yes it does!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"HA!"

"Ooooooh, that wasn't fair!" Yugi cried, heatedly.

"Who says you never learn anything from TV?" Said Yami, smirking.

"Hmph. I'm gonna get dressed now. Just answer the door if it rings."

Yami gave Yugi his best sailor man salute. "Ai-ai captain!" He said, mockingly.

"Will you cut that out! Just go back to your John Wayne marathon!"

Yugi stormed off towards his bedroom and Yami went back to watching John Wayne. A few moments later the doorbell rang. Yami grudgingly walked down the stairs and opened the door to find Kaiba and his younger brother, Mokuba, standing outside. Kaiba was about to say something when the door was abruptly shut on his face.

"Yugi, it's for you." Said Yami as he sat back down to his favorite John Wayne movie: North to Alaska.

"Is it Joey and the others?" Yugi asked as he came out of his bedroom: pulling a shirt over his head as he did so.

"Nope." Replied Yami.

"Huh? I wonder who it is then. I wasn't expecting anyone else." Yugi walked down the stairs and opened the door only to find a very perturbed Kaiba waiting for him: arms crossed and all!

"I don't appreciate doors being slammed on my face." He growled.

/Yami/ Yugi scolded, using their mind link.

(He asked for it.) Replied Yami.

/Yeah, I'll bet./

"Anyway," interrupted Kaiba, "I was just about to challenge that pharaoh of yours to a Duel before the door was so rudely slammed on my face."

"I'm really sorry about that. I'll ask him about the duel."

/Kaiba wants to duel you. That's why he's here./

(Tell him to go jump a cliff.)

"Yami say's no."

"Tell him that I'm not leaving here without my rematch."

/Kaiba says he's not leaving until you Duel him./

(Tell that overgrown pompous windbag that I'm NOT DUELING HIM TODAY and if he doesn't leave right now then I'm going to send His Arrogant Highness on a one way trip to the Shadow Realm.)

"Uh…Yami says that he's REALLY busy right now and REALLY doesn't want to duel today."

"Tell him—"

"No! I won't 'tell him' anything else! If you want to talk to him then go upstairs and talk to him yourself!"

Kaiba was a little taken aback by this sudden outburst by the normally timid Yugi.

"Okay, okay. I'll go tell him myself then." Kaiba cautiously walked around Yugi and headed up the stairway, Mokuba right behind him.


Once Kaiba and Mokuba reached the top of the stairs, Yugi's ears were immediately bombarded with offensive insults and colorful name-calling. Once or twice he heard Kaiba hauler, "How dare you use such language in front of Mokuba." Which was followed by a series of naughty words on Yami's behalf.

Yugi let out a heavy sigh, "Those two are gonna be at it for hours." Just then, the doorbell rang for the second time that day. Yugi opened the door and was greeted by all his friends (minus Bakura).

"Hey Yuge. How's the party so far?" Asked Joey, Yugi's best friend. Joey caught the sound of Kaiba's voice echoing down the stairs and was immediately filled with anger.

"What's dat creep doin' here!" Joey heatedly asked.

"He wants a rematch with Yami."

"Guess it's a safe bet he's not getting one." Said Tristan, indicating the loud, colorful argument going on upstairs.

"Hey, Yugi. Did Bakura arrive yet?" Asked Te'a.

"Not yet." Answered Yugi, "It's really strange, he should have arrived a half hour ago. He had phoned me earlier to say that he was on his way, but he hasn't showed up yet."

"He probably got lost tryin' to find da place." Offered Joey.

"Hmm. Maybe…"


Meanwhile, somewhere in downtown Domino,

"If this is some trick of yours to keep me from extracting my ULTIMATE revenge on the Pharaoh," grumped yami Bakura, "then you will rue the day you were ever born."

"What 'trick' are you talking about?" Asked Ryo politely.

"WE'VE BEEN GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES FOR THE PAST HALF HOUR!"

"Did you have to use all capital letters?" asked Ryo: cleaning his ear with his little finger. "Besides, How do you know that we've been going around in circles?"

"Because," Bakura slowly replied: trying his best to keep his temper under control, "we've passed your house SIX TIMES ALREADY!"

'At least he didn't use all capital letters this time.' Ryo thought to himself.

"If you foolishly thought that I would not notice, then you were sorely mistaken. I am much more intelligent then that." He replied, proudly.

"Then how come you didn't notice the first five times we went around the block?" Ryo muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" Demanded Bakura."

"Nothing." Ryo added quickly.

"Then let's go. And you had better not stall me from getting to the pharaoh's house any longer or you will seriously regret it."

"Fine." Sighed Ryo. "Guess I'd better just take him to Yugi's." he muttered under his breath, "Otherwise he'll just start causing havoc: sending random people to the Shadow Realm until he gets what he wants." Ryo let out a heavy sigh, "He's such a baby."

"Now then," Said Bakura raising his fist to the sky, "On to Yugi's house so that I may extract my ULTIMATE revenge on that blasted Pharaoh!"

Bakura was so entrapped within his own thoughts of revenge that he had failed to notice the wall in front of him getting rapidly closer.

"Yami, look out!" Ryo tried to warn. But it was already too late; Bakura had hit the wall square on.

Bakura now peeled himself off the wall and rubbed his nose. "Ow."

"This is going to be a long trip." Said Ryo: covering his face in embarrassment.


To Be Continued….


So, how'd ya like it? I'll start on the next chapter as soon as can. So far I haven't been getting TOO much homework from my school, but I do have to write a mystery story for one of my classes. So it may be awhile until I can upload another chapter.

As always, I'm opened to any idea's AND corrections.

If you do decide to review, please don't swear or use harsh language. Thanks.
