This
has got to be the fastest update I've had yet. W007. Now let's
get on with it. Previously on SMABB… Ryou and Yugi plummet 50 feet
from the sky after flying away from police, only to be saved by a
mysterious blue blob, which turns out to be a forcefield that Ryou
can conjure up whenever he damn well feels like.
(A/N: Where there
is a blank line there should be a plot/scene divider.)
Ryou
and Yugi trudged wearily home that afternoon. Ryou went straight to
bed and slept through dinner and the giant phone argument between Yami Bakura and Yami Yugi about the contents of certain water balloons. Yugi
flopped on his couch and played Touch! Kirby on DS for 2 hours
straight. Neither said anything to anyone about what happened.
The
next morning Ryou contemplated what happened previously. What the
shit was that little blue blob? Where had it come from? How did he
get it to come out in the first place? Could he get it out again?
What was that delicious smell?
Yugi also contemplated yesterday's
events. How do I get around level 12 in that Kirby game?
The
police were still checking the scene for clues. "Looky here!"
said one of them. "This guard's got somethin' in his stomach!"
The other cops gathered round and stared at the knife in the dead
man's body. But this wasn't a knife. This was a small spike, very
small, that was black, purple and yellow.
One cop suggested, "The
thieves could have used knife-thingy to cut open the glass case
around the Shine-O-Rama." A murmur of agreement rippled through the
policemen.
One of the policemen smiled malevolently. "Oh yes,"
they said. "They could have…" They turned and left, muttering
softly, "… had it not been me that stole it…"
Ryou
and Yugi met up at Yugi's house to discuss things. Although the
main topic of the meeting was "Why does everyone think we stole the
Shine-O-Rama?", one out of two hours was spent discussing "Why
won't Kirby go any faster damn it?".
Finally the DS was put
aside and the two brainstormed for ideas. "Are there any clues
towards us being the culprits?" asked Ryou. Yami, who had come to
help them, shrugged. "I'll check the news, but since you escaped
from jail, it would be you they suspect immediately. Who else would
want it, apart from the people who just stole it?"
After Yami
had left the room, Ryou said, "If he's gonna help us, he should
know the truth, don't you think?"
Yugi glared at Ryou. "Are
you CRAZY?" he hissed.
"Doctor K says I might be, but I don't
trust him."
"Well, what if he blabs? What if we wake up one
day and find our house overrun with scientists and police who both
want to take us away?"
Ryou shrugged. "What if we
don't?"
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT RYOU!"
"What's not
the point?" came Yami's voice from downstairs.
Yugi quickly
replied, "Ryou says that Yoshi is cooler then Kirby, and I'm
saying he's not. Nothing to worry about!"
Ryou muttered,
"Yeah, it's not like Yugi can fly and throw his razor-hair at
people and I can create force-fields-" A series of strangling
noises came from Ryou's mouth.
"Shut up you fool, he'll hear
us! And like I said-"
"HOLY SHAZBOT!" Yami came hurtling
through the room. "The news says that one of the guards was found
murdered at the museum. In his body they found a knife of some sort.
It was black, purple and yellow, and that's the colours of-"
"-my
hair" finished Yugi. He glanced at Ryou, then said, "Yami,
there's something we have to tell you."
GO KIRBY!
That
afternoon was full of surprises. Yami found out about Ryou and Yugi's
secret, Yugi beat level 12, Bakura cooked shepherds pie for dinner.
But the biggest surprise was yet to come.
The next morning, Yugi
woke up with the house empty. A note on the fridge said that Yami was
going out for a couple of hours. Yugi never suspected that what Yami
was doing would involve him.
Yami walked down the road, thinking
of Yugi's predicament. Maybe, he thought, maybe I should- no, I
can't. But should I? These thoughts make him take a wrong turn. He
realized this 10 minutes later, and when he did, swore loudly.
He
arrived at the police station half an hour late. "Late again,
Mouto?" said the constable. "We can't keep you if you keep
turning up late. Now get over to the museum and continue your case on
the diamond theft."
Now,
did everyone understand that? Do I have to explain it? I hope not. Do
the math yourself. Just read the last paragraph and the one about the
cops. Work it out.
R+R people. Winter's coming, flames accepted.
