Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or its characters. The last disclaimer is at the bottom cause I don't want to spoil a part of the story.
Note: OMG! I am so sorry it took me so long to update! Please forgive me. I have no other excuses except writers block for the longest time and being plagued with annoying family members that never allow me to work on anything! Plus I'm kinda working with idea's for my original story. And I like hanging out with friends and watching anime. Anyways, here's the long overdue chapter five! Hope you enjoy it.

Trouble: Thy Name is Bakura!
-------------------------------------
Yugi reached the top of the stairs a few minutes before the others, and was in the kitchen within seconds. When he opened the door he noticed, to his great horror, the enormous mess lying before him. Chairs, which were used as a ladder moments ago, were lying in front of the counter where a bag of flour was broken and spread all over the countertop, chairs and kitchen floor. Boxes of cereal also decorated the once clean floor and counter. The culprit, a miniature version of his friend, Ryo, sat contently by the sink, covered head to toe in flour and happily chewing on the last chocolate chip cookie; a broken cookie jar lying just below his feet.
"Just look at this mess!" Yugi screamed hotly. His hands were tightly clenched at his sides.
Bakura peaked up from his cookie and took a quick glance around the room, then, his eyes falling back to Yugi's, curled his lips from eye to eye in a feral grin. He ignored the seething look on the teen's features and casually went back to munching on his afternoon snack.
Yugi's eyes fell to the floor. At his sides, his hands shook from an uncontrollable rage burning inside. His blood boiled fervently, like a volcano preparing for an eruption. Without warning, his head snapped up with a tremendous force; his eyes flared with a blazing fire.
All it took was one look at the enraged teen for Bakura to figure out pretty quickly that he was in BIG trouble. Luckily for him, at that precise moment, Ryo stepped into the kitchen. Bakura, seizing his only chance of escape, quickly jumped of the counter (being careful to avoid the broken glass), ran over to Ryo and, after sinking his face into the teens leg, immediately turned on the water works.
Ryo's heart melted at the sight of the crying boy. He gently scooped Bakura into his arms and quietly asked, "There, there. Now what's the matter?"
"Yugi's scaring me." Whined Bakura, his perfect acting skills showing themselves.
Ryo looked at his friend with a stern expression. "Yugi, how could you? He's just a child!"
"That 'child', as you call him, completely trashed my grandpa's kitchen! Not to mention he broke the cookie jar that has been passed down in the Motou family for generations! And that's not even the worst of it…" he took a breath then pointed an accusing finger at Bakura and shouted vehemently, "That little monster ATE ALL MY COOKIES!"
On cue, Bakura dug his head into Ryo's shoulder, feigning fearfulness.
"Don't yell at Bakura like that! It's not his fault. You should've hid your cookies in a better hiding place! He's just a child! What would you expect? Honestly, Yugi, you can be so selfish sometimes! C'mon Bakura, let's go get you cleaned up."
As they turned to leave, Bakura sneered over Ryo's shoulder and gave his most sinister, victorious grin. Yugi couldn't get to him as long as Ryo was protecting him, and the little imp new it!
"I'll make you pay for eating all my cookies, even if it's takes the rest of my life!" Yugi vowed to himself.
--------------------------------
Bakura figured out pretty quickly what Ryo had meant by getting him "cleaned up" once the two had entered the bathroom and his lighter half began filling up the bathtub with water.
That was when REAL trouble began.
Outside the bathroom, screams of protest could be heard by the five-year-old boy; along with plenty of colorful threats aimed at the white-haired teenager.
"I won't get in that thing!" Yugi heard the boy yell.
"Yes you will!" Replied Ryo. There came a few scuffling noises and the sounds of things being knocked over from inside, and Yugi couldn't help but wonder how much damage the little imp was exacting on his grandpa's newly remolded bathroom! He had a strong feeling he wasn't going to be seeing his allowance for quite awhile.
"You will take a bath and like it!" Growled Ryo.
"NO I WON'T! AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!"
"Get over here now!"
"NO!"
"Don't make me use force!"
"Just try it!"
"Why you little…"
"Can't catch me!"
"Will you hold still!"
There was a short pause as the boy mockingly put a short, stubby finger to his chin as if to think over the proposition then answered the already angry teenager with a curt, "No."
Outside, the noises escalated as the two white-haired boys played a game of cat and mouse around the bathroom. There came a loud "Gotcha!" from inside, which was followed closely by a rather large splash. When the door finally opened, Bakura came out into the room completely unscathed. A wide, triumphant grin was plastered on the young boy's impertinent face.
Following close behind him came Ryo, his cloths were completely drenched with the soapy bathwater, and a volatile scowl was etched across his own features.
Yugi just crossed his arms over his chest and gave the teen a 'told you he was a little monster' look, offering neither support nor comfort to his soaked friend. He figured that it served Ryo right. Maybe next time he'll actually LISTEN to the voice of reason!
Ryo never even noticed the look Yugi gave him, for he was, at the moment, tapping his right foot on the soaked tiled floor – which made an interesting splashing sound — and glaring down at the five-year-old version of himself.
Bakura, sensing the teen's hard glare on his back, and knowing the immediate peril that he was now in, slowly turned around and looked straight into the teen's narrowed brown eyes.
His triumphant grin quickly faded from his face.
Bakura only needed a single glance at the boy's stern features and seething eyes for him to quickly realize that it would be in his best interest to run now. So he did. He ran through the halls and strait into Yugi's bedroom: quickly locking the door behind him in a desperate attempt to guard himself from the ferocity of both the teenagers' wrath.
Yugi was the first to start pounding on the door, yelling some very unfriendly words through the wooden barrier. Ryo came up next to him and began hurtling a few threats of his own at the miniature Bakura.
-----------------------------------
On the other side, Bakura sighed his relief then grinned as he looked around the room. Oh what kinds of havoc he could unleash on THIS room!
The first thing he did was walk over to the closet, thinking he could find some hidden video games. PHEW! What died in HERE! Bakura thought as he opened the doors. Then he noticed Yugi's old, UNWASHED, gym socks and quickly slammed the doors shut to shield his poor nose from the horrifying stench! He didn't realize that underneath all those socks rested Yugi's most prized video games. The socks were just a defensive system to keep, not only Yami, but also his own GRANDPA, away!
Bakura searched the room and saw Yugi's soft-looking bed. A heavenly light appeared from seemingly nowhere and bathed the freshly made bed in its ethereal beams. The boy's eyes gleamed with excitement and his lips curled from ear to ear in a mischievous grin.
Up and down he went, shouting happily as he flew high above the mattress then landing safely on either his feat or backside. Pillows were tossed vigorously from their place on the bed while the covers crumpled beneath his relentless bouncing.
Once, when he flew into the air, he noticed something on top of the bookshelf. He ceased his jumping right away, and then began his assent up the shelves. When Bakura finally reached the top, he soon discovered that the shelves were not built to support so much weight, and he was sent flying back to the floor.
---------------------------------
"What's going on in there?" Yugi demanded from the outside. "You'd better not be breaking my stuff!"
--------------------------------
Inside, Bakura barely heard the teen's voice over the thunderous noises ringing in his head. Now THAT wasn't very much fun! He thought to himself. Once the ringing stopped, Bakura began looking around for the magazine he had seen on the shelf. He found it lying under one of the corners of the bookshelf. After pulling it out, he began looking through the pages. He blushed quickly then shut it faster than lightning. He looked at the title of the magazine than slowly pronounced the words on the cover, "Vict-or-ia's Se-crets." He smiled at the lovely images he had just seen then opened it up again and began searching the pages: a little bit more slowly this time.
-------------------------------
"He'd better not have knocked over my bookshelf and gotten his slimy little hands on my…" Yugi was about say, "my Victoria's Secrets magazine." But stopped short when he saw the curious look he was getting from Ryo. "My Animal Adventures magazine." He quickly lied. Yugi sighed in relief when he saw his friend turn back to the door.
Ryo didn't quite believe Yugi, but decided press the issue. Besides, right now their main priority was getting Bakura out of Yugi's room; and giving the little monster a spanking he so richly deserved!
"I don't see any other way to get in besides busting down the door." Remarked Ryo.
Yugi glared at him in utter amazement. "How can you even THINK of doing something like that! That door is my only defense against candy and game thieves." Actually it wasn't his ONLY defense, but he decided not to mention the dirty gym sock ploy to Ryo incase Yami was listening nearby.
"Do you WANT to get into your room before Bakura totally wrecks it?"
Yugi's shoulders fell as the truth of his friend's words sunk in.
"Fine," he stated flatly, "but you have to buy me a new door."
"Why would I have to buy something YOU helped break down?" Ryo retorted indignantly.
"Because," Yugi began calmly, "IT WAS YOUR YAMI THAT LOCKED HIMSELF IN MY ROOM IN THE FIRST PLACE! By the way, you're paying for everything broken inside too."
Ryo stared at his friend incredulously for a while, but dropped the issue knowing perfectly well that Yugi was right. "Fine. On the count of three then."
"Fine."
The began the countdown together,
"One…"
"Two…"
"Three!"
------------------------------------
Bakura had just finished looking through his picture magazine when he heard the loud thump against the door.
"Uh-oh." Being smart enough to figure out that his sanctuary was no longer safe, he quickly began scouring the grounds in search of an escape rout. His eyes gleamed as he spotted an open window above Yugi's desk.
-------------------------------------
"You're hitting that door like a little girl!" Ryo yelled to his diminutive friend.
"Are you calling me weak!" Yugi shot back incredulously.
"And short." Muttered Ryo.
"That does it!" he yelled determinedly. Yugi slammed the door with all his strength and weight. The hinges creaked in protest but on the second run, it at last gave in to the two teenager's efforts.
Once on the inside, they looked around at the wreckage wrought by the hurricane five-year-old, Bakura. Books were thrown all over the room by the collapsed bookshelf, blankets, and pillows were strewn everywhere and little trinkets and toys were knocked from the respective places on shelves and dresser, and lay scattered and broken on the floor.
Yugi, noticing his precious magazine lying on the floor in plain view, quickly snatched it up and shoved it into the nearest dresser before Ryo had seen it. He noticed though that Ryo wasn't even paying attention to him, but instead was staring at the window blankly.
"What is it?" Yugi asked, more than a little worried.
"Trouble." Came the curt reply.
Yugi followed his friend's eyes to the open window. His mouth dropped open and his eyes bulged to the size of saucers when he saw a string of sheets tied to the desk while the rest fell out the window and to the cement below. 'Trouble' was an understatement!
"Heaven help the poor soul who runs into THAT boy!" Whispered Yugi.
Ryo nodded his head solemnly.
"It would appear that Domino City is about to live up to its name." Replied Ryo. In his mind he pictured the great buildings of Domino City collapsing to the ground like stacked up dominos.

To Be Continued…
------------------------
Don't hurt me!
I think this chapter was kinda short and not as funny. I'll try to make the next one more entertaining. That is, if you still want me to continue this story. I'm not sure if I should or if people are liking it or not.
Anyways, I'll give the last disclaimer for all you legal folk.
Disclaimer: I don't own the name, Victoria's Secrets, or any magazines! There, happy now?
See ya! Please leave a review.
