THE MINI YAMI ADVENTURES

ADVENTURE 4 – Say a little prayer for Bakura

" What the hell are you playing at! Get away from me you psychopath!"

Yami cried out and wheeled around the pool as Bakura charged after him with a very large and menacing looking leaf blower that seemed to have been tampered with in the worst way (see my choices, choices fic for more on this marvellous device) and cackled insanely. Yami shrieked as Bakura pushed the on button and a terrific gust of air threatened to suck him backwards. Yami took to his second lap of the pool and called out again.

" Why the hell are you chasing me with a leaf blower, Bakura?"

Bakura growled in frustration and replied.

" Its not a leaf blower! Why does everyone think that? Its my spirit catching machine, used for catching Yami's that preach far too much!"

Yami squeaked in fear as he remembered being stuck in there the last time. He sped up and leapt over a sun-lounger to get some obstacles between him and Bakura. He heard a loud splash and turned around to see Bakura floundering around in the water with the leaf blower still in his hands. He pushed a switch and a jolt of electricity shot through him, making him shake and gibber madly until he let the machine go and let it sink to the bottom of the pool. Yami leant over and dragged him to the side, where he heaved him over onto the dry tiles and made sure he was still alive. Bakura squirmed a bit then sat up and threw himself on Yami, calling madly.

" Yami-chan that hurt! Why did the bad water hurt me? It really hurt!"

Then he began to scream and cry like an oversized baby. Ryou appeared in the door leading to the garden and rushed over.

" Yami, what happened? I came as soon as I heard him crying."

Yami scowled and tried to throw Bakura off as his crocodile tears dampened his new shirt and he fretted over a runny nose.

" Oh so my yelling in terror didn't alert you to a problem then?"

" Just tell me what happened."

" This idiot fell into the pool and got electrocuted by his stupid 'spirit catching machine'. It's making him regress back to when he was like six where he was a big baby and if it's possible, even more annoying that he was before!"

He gave a final jerk and Bakura rolled off, only to crawl over to Ryou and start on him. Yami wiped the combination of snot and tears off his shirt with a towel then spoke again as Ryou fell back onto the floor and Bakura lay on top of him, still sobbing.

" That guy is a complete psycho. You should take him to a priest or something; maybe they'd go all Exorcist on him and sort him out. See you later, Ryou."

He got up and saluted as he left, leaving Ryou to deal with Bakura. He stroked Bakura's hair, to calm him down and spoke to himself.

" Maybe Yami was right… Bakura, we're going on a trip."

By the time they were half way to the church, Bakura had returned to his normal self and was bounding about the pavement as if drunk. Ryou bit his lip and dived after him as he nearly fell in front of an oncoming lorry as they crossed the road. Bakura righted himself as ran over to the other side where he swung from a lamppost outside the church and spoke.

" What the hell are we doing here, Ryou? You aren't religious and I'm sure not. Sorry Lord Ra but you don't count."

Ryou pulled him down from his perch and spoke softly.

" I pray for you all the time, Bakura, but it doesn't seem to have worked much so its time I left it to the professionals."

Bakura smirked and then began singing 'Living On A Prayer' at the top of his voice. Ryou sighed and dragged him inside the building. As soon as they set foot over the threshold, Bakura became silent and just looked around in wonder at the few people that were sitting, heads bowed and also silent, in the pews or kneeling at the front deep in prayer and thought. Ryou led the way down the main aisle to where a robed stood, admiring the stained glass windows that glistened beautifully as the setting sun cast its light through them. The man turned to face them as they drew close and opened his arms in a welcoming gesture.

" Ahh Ryou, it is good to see you. I'm glad you decided to finally call in. How is your father?"

Ryou grabbed Bakura's shirt to make sure he didn't do a runner then replied.

" He's fine but that I'm afraid the reason I came isn't really a good one. It's my Ya… my friend Bakura here. Another one of my friends suggested I brought him here so that you can help him or as he put it 'go all Exorcist on him'."

The priest smiled and replied.

" I'll hardly become an Exorcist but I'll see what I can do. He looks remarkably like you by the way, have you noticed?"

Ryou sighed and stepped aside as the priest moved to take a better look at Bakura. He looked him up and down then scowled and spoke.

" Sir, I don't think your shirt is adequate to wear inside a place of holy worship. I would request that you cover its slogan or leave."

Bakura looked down at it and replied in confusion.

" Whats wrong with it? It says 'I love my Hikari'."

" Its what is written underneath that that offends me, sir."

Bakura moved his arm, read the rest then smirked. Ryou turned him around and read his shirt.

" I love my Hikari… covered in Lubrication… Oh my god Bakura! Of all the shirts you could have worn… oh my god… I'm so sorry about this."

Bakura cut Ryou's speech off and spoke himself.

" I'll handle this Ryou."

He turned to the priest and spoke with his hand on his hips.

" I didn't realise the church was full of homophobes. Is it your opinion that men cannot be attracted to other men? Do you disagree with it?"

" No of course not sir, I merely observe other peoples concerns."

Bakura's voice became steadily louder.

" Do you think that we should not have sex? Do you think that just because we're gay, we don't deserve a smooth ride! Abysmal! Terrible! I'm leaving! Come on Ryou."

He stormed off and left the church with Ryou hot on his heels. Bakura stopped marching when he reached the lamppost he had been swinging off before. Ryou caught up to him and leant on him as he tried to catch his breath.

" Oh Bakura… for god's sake… a church… do you have no dignity?"

" Pfft… dignity? Who do you think I am? At least you don't have to go to church any more."

Ryou sighed as Bakura started off towards home. Ryou smiled at his Yami's retreating back and muttered to himself.

" I'll still keep saying a little prayer for you, Bakura. I always will."
