A/N: Gods, I dunno what the hell kept me from updating this story for so long, but here's chapter 6! Sorry for keeping you waiting!
Chapter 6: Malik's shot, The Ring and Scared Kids
"NO!" Malik screamed, hiding behind me.
"It's just a teeny tiny shot, nothing scary!" assured Dr. Fuku.
But Malik would not listen, in fact, the almighty Pharoah wannabe, was currently hiding behind me. Dr. Fuku almost stuck the needle at me a few times while trying to aim for Malik. I just sat there unmoving and hoped that this was just a really bad dream. That I, someone who dislikes kids, was stuck between a needle war. Where I was the shield from the needle and also a pin cushion as I dodged Dr. Fuku's futile attempt to give Malik a shot, which almost meant that the needle was almost directed at me.
"OKAY! OKAY! Stop it!" I yelled, surprising Dr. Fuku.
"Miss Itomi, a little help? Malik needs to get this shot if he wants to feel better," he said.
"Fine," I said then turned around with a huge and fake smile. "Malik-chan, it's not bad, just let Dr. Fuku give you the shot. It doesn't hurt."
"No! It does hurt! You're just a liar!" Malik yelled, and stuck his tongue out at me.
"Please! I need to get this over with. There are more patients waiting out there for me and most of them are in serious pain," Dr. Fuku practically begged.
"Ruri-san, don't make me!" Malik whined. He started to cry into the back of my shirt, yet another shirt ruined. Are they going to be happy when every one of my clothes are stained with their tears and vomit?
Yes, the answer is yes.
"Doctor, may I please have a towel?" I asked, grabbing the back of Malik's shirt and pulling him away so he could stop vomiting on my shirt.
And people asks me why I dislike kids...
"Yay! I'm going to watch "Ringu"!" Yugi said. (A/N: Btw, Ringu is the Japanese version of "The Ring")
"Miiko-san, do I have to watch this? I'm scared of scary movies," Shizuka said.
"Aww, of course not, Shi-chan. You're so cute!" she squealed.
"Miiko-san, where's Ruri-san?" Ryou asked.
"Eh? Don't really know. She didn't leave a note and she also said that she was going to be home all day, but I guess she went out." Miiko said.
"Here's popcorn!" Anzu and Yugi said, both carrying a bowl of freshly popped popcorn.
"Whoo-hoo! Bring on the snacks!" Miiko yelled.
"Miiko-san is a bit genki (hyper), isn't she?" Mokuba said, sweatdropping.
"I really want to ask you: do you really enjoy ruining every shirt I own?" I asked Malik.
"I said I was sorry already!" Malik said.
"Well, if you really are sorry then you would take that shot so you could stop vomiting all over me, my home and the doctor!" I yelled. "I'm sorry, too, Dr. Fuku."
"That's quite all right. It's not really like he intentionally did it. Nobody can help it when they need to vomit," he said, wiping the white vomit from his glasses. ( I shudder to think what that white vomit used to be.)
"Sorry, Dr. Fuku. I want to take the shot now," Malik said.
"All right then!" the doctor cheered up.
"Finally!" I said, exasperated.
"You have to hold my hand!" he said.
"Fine whatever" I said, letting him hold my arm.
"Okay, just don't look at it." the doctor said.
Malik turned away from the sight of the needle. Then he gripped on my arm a bit. The needle starts to enter his skin. His grip is a bit more tighter than usual. Then "OWWWW!"
"Now now, Miss Itomi, it couldn't have been that bad. After all, he's just a child. He couldn't possibly have hurt your arm that badly." the doctor said.
I glared at the doctor. "Let's see if you'd still say that if I did that to you!"
Malik happily licked his lollipop as we walked through the front door to be greeted by darkness, the lights were out and everything was quiet. I figured that everybody and Miiko was still out and having a fun time so I didn't start to worry. I rubbed my bruised arm as I turned on the lights in the living room to find everyone on the couch, chairs, and on Miiko's sleeping form. Shizuka, Yugi, Ryou and Mokuba was clutching onto her as if for dear life.
I looked at the TV and I saw the credits for a familiar horror movie. A particular one called "Ringu". The same one that made me stop watching TV for a period of time. It was scary when that girl came out of the TV, all right! I mean, in the movie!
"Sooo you spent the day watching a scary movie?" I asked.
"Ruri-san!" Shizuka, Anzu, Mai and Ryou ran over to me.
"It's so scary!" Shizuka squealed.
"So I guess you're talking to me again," I said. After I accidently dropped her in the toilet, she had been giving me the cold shoulder.
"Ruri-san, can I watch it?" Malik asked, still happily licking his lollipop while I got nothing but a bruised arm, courtesy of Malik Ishtar. And a possible lawsuit from the doctor since I tackled him when I thought he was me calling a wimp...
Later that same night
"Ruri-san..." a voice whispered into my ear.
I brushed him/her away and went on sleeping. It was probably midnight right now and they're still bothering me. These kids will not stop until they get my attention so I decided to just get it over with already.
"What is it?" I asked groggily.
It was Yugi. "Ruri-san, can I sleep in your bed tonight? I'm scared..." he said, shaking visibly.
"Hey you're the one who wanted to watch a scary movie, so suffer the consequences," I said, covering myself with a blanket so I could block him out.
"Ruri-SAN!" a voice yelled.
I fell off the bed because it surprised me. Wow, these kids could yell.
Malik ran into my room.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Bakura wet the bed!" he yelled.
"No I didn't!" Bakura yelled, barging into my room.
"If you're gonna tell a lie, at least do it right." I said, looking at the wet stain on his pants.
He blushed and looked down on the ground.
"HAHA! Tombrobber peed in his pants!" Yami said, pointing to his stain.
"Shut up, Pharoah!"
Before you knew it, everybody was in my room to investigate the problem.
"What's going on here?" Kaiba asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes, Mokuba following behind him.
"Bakura peed in his pants!" jeered Marik.
Everybody started to laugh out loud. I sat in my bed and looked at Bakura, he seemed to be getting mad. No, I'd say getting pissed off is more like it. His face started to turn red. I blinked and couldn't believe it, I think I saw a tear forming at the corner of his eye. Another crybaby? Since I knew he didn't want anyone to see him crying, I decided to help him...
"All right. That's enough out of all of you. It's late. Go back to sleep, all of you."
"But, Ruri-san, the bed that I sleep in is the same one that Bakura soiled." Malik said.
"Well sleep on the couch then." I said, shooing all of them away.
"But, I don't want to sleep in the attic, it's scary!" Yugi said.
"Yeah and I saw something moving!" Jou said.
"I want to sleep in here!" almost all of them yelled, jumping onto my bed.
"NO WAY!" I yelled back.
"I believe I'm sharing a bed with thirteen kids," I grumbled. "And cleaned someone's pee stains."
"Aww, you know you love us," Malik said.
"Don't tell me that you haven't grown to love us already," Jou said.
"We love you, Ruri-san," Shizuka said, hugging me.
"Hai, me too," Anzu said.
"Me three," Yugi said.
I pretended to have fallen asleep, some of them snuggled up against me and hugged me. Some of them muttered "good night"s and "sleep tight"s.
'If Miiko-chan finds out, I'll never hear the end of it,' I thought.
A/N: Um a little bit too sweet? Whatever, I was in a good mood today. This will still continue until about 5 or 8 more chapters.
