Chapter 4

Yami woke up the next morning in a great mood and ready to find adventure.
"Bakura, you should go and get Marik out of jail, that closet has been shaking a lot lately." He said to the white-haired spirit, who rolled his eyes.
"If you want that to stop, maybe you should go in there."
Yami shook his head. "Hell no, I'm not going in there." Bakura rolled his eyes, muttering something along the lines of 'baka wimpy pharaoh' and left. Yami sighed sadly and too left, deciding to go to one of the nearby hotels called New York New York. He paid the admission fee with his own money and got on the ride. As it started, he felt his stomach give an unpleasant lurch. He remembered once in Egypt when he was young and tried to ride Osiris (1) and the results were definetly not pretty.
Well, it was too late to get off now.
The roller coaster went through spins and turns and Yami was quickly turning very, very green. People around him were screaming in delight or in terror and the only thing that Yami was thinking about was
'Make it stop. Make…it… stop…'
Finally, the ride was over, Yami got off with as much dignity as possible, then barfed all over some poor lady's shoes. 'Ugh,' he thought vomiting more 'here come those pancakes –' He finally managed to get away, though his breath smelled horrible. He was going back to their hotel room when he ran into Bakura.
"Tomb Robber, what are you doing?"
Bakura cringed, waving his hand across his nose. "Ugh, Pharaoh, havent you ever heard of tic-tacs?" Yami rolled his eyes.
"I threw up. What are you doing?"
"I'm going to go and find a Pinch." Yami raised his eyes.
"A Pinch?"
"See, when a nuclear weapon detonates it unleashes an electromagnetic pulse which shuts down any power source within its blast radius. Now that tends not to matter in most cases because a nuclear weapon usually destroys everything you might need power for anyway. A pinch creates a similar electromagnetic pulse, but without the fuss of mass destruction and death. So instead of Hiroshima, you'd be getting the seventeenth century." When he finished rattling off the surprisingly smart sounding sentence, Yami's eyes were very wide. He had no idea that the Tomb Robber could use words bigger than 'gimme' let alone 'electromagnetic.'
"Ooookay, why do you need a Pinch?"
Bakura smiled proudly, "I'm gonna rob me a casino." With that he walked away, head held high and hair blinding everyone within a ten-meter radius. Yami shook his head sadly, wondering if he should try and stop the evil maniac, or evacuate the city. He decided to take a shower first though, he really stank.

When he arrived back at the hotel room, he saw a very strange sight. Lying on his bed, chewing up the sheets was a small lion cub. It pounced off the bed and came over to him. He would have screamed if he wasn't just so damn surprised. 'When did we get a lion?' He thought to himself as the small (soon to be large) feline purred and rubbed agaist him legs. He bent down and looked at the leather collar the cub was wearing. On the little I.D. tag was typed,

Koona

Roy Uwe Ludwig Horn

This was scratched out with 'Stilleto, Yami Marik Ishtar.'

The pharaoh nearly blew up. Marik stole some guys lion!

'Wait, that name sounds familiar… Holy crappin' Ra! Marik stole those magicians lion!' The lion meanwhile, found Yami's shoe a lovely chew toy, and was happily gnawing away at the leather. Yami shrieked.
"Get away from that! Those cost me a fortune! I had to steal some money from Yugi!"
"Well well well, we now know that the Pharaoh isn't flawless." Said a cold voice behind him. He whirled around and saw Bakura leaning aganst the wall casually.
"What's with the lion, Pharaoh?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at the once dignified and calm spiky-haired ex-ruler who was currently jumping around trying the get the lion off his shoe.
"Marik… stole… it…" Yami gasped, as he bunny-hopped around the room. Bakura laughed. Yami glared.
"So what are you going to do with it?" Bakura asked.
"Take it back."
"And how pray tell are you going to explain how you got the lion?"
Yami shrugged. "I don't know. Think of something." Bakura laughed again, holding his sides tightly. "You just go and do that, I've got evil plans to make."

"Hello, can I see Mr. Ew- um… Mr. Uwe Ludz - Mr… er.. can I go see Roy, please?" Yami asked the huge security guard, feeling extremely short compared to this dude.
"Why do you need to see him?"
"Um…I found his lion." Yami stuttered. Ra, this guy was making him feel really nervous. The security dude nodded. "Yeah, go ahead."

Yami entered a large room where there were many plants and in the middle of the room there was a large white sofa on which two guys and a tiger were reclining on. One of them straightened up. "Yes?" He asked in a German accent. "Can vee help you young man?" Yami boiled inside. He absolutely hated it when people called him 'young man' or 'little boy.' He was freakin' older than them by five freakin' millenia!
"First of all, I'm not a young man! Second of all, here's your lion. Third of all, you guys owe me new leather shoes!" He cried, pointing at his chewed up boots. He wanted to cry.
One of the guys ran up to the lion and hugged it tightly.
"Ohhh! Koona! Vee found you! Oh you're such a pretty girl! Yes you are! Yes you are!" Inside, the lion was seething. 'For the love of mercy! I'm a GUY! You wierdo! I'm a GUY! Notice this stuff growing around my neck, it's called a FREAKIN' MANE! Are you deaf or something! The vet told you a long time ago! I'M A GUY! AND MY NAME IS NOT FREAKIN' KOONA! IT'S HERBERT! Get it straight!' He jumped unexpectedly and mauled Roy. Roy died. Siegfried looked down at his dead partner, still sipping his strawberry margarita. Yami tried to offer his condolences over Roy's unexpected death. "I'm sorry about your friend Mr. Siegfried…" The older man waved his hand dismissively. "Never mind. He was cramping my style anyway. "Good job Susie!" He said, petting the lion cub. The poor creature sighed in defeat.

'Whenever I get rid of one moron, another one takes his place. Urgh, I think I'm gonna go see if I can drown myself in the dolphin pool…" With that, 'Susie' left, never seen again for the rest of the night.

"Now, how did you find Susie?" Siegfried asked, turning to Yami. The latter gulped. Time to tell the truth.
"My friend has a habit of stealing stuff and he stole your lion."
Siegfried smiled warmly. "Thank you for telling me. Now sit still while I call the cops."
"What!"
"You are the friend of a person who stole my lion. You have to pay the consequences." Yami shook his head. "That makes absolutely no sense!" Siegfried sighed.
"Not much does, little boy." Yami nearly screamed.
"I am a freakin' Pharaoh! You can't send me to jail! Dark Magician! ATTACK!" Immedieately, Yami's faithful Dark Magician appeared, and attacked with his Dark Magic Attack. The attack barely singed Siegfried, but he jumped about five feet in the air, screamed like a five year-old girl, and ran away, still trying to take another sip of his margarita. Yami sweatdropped, and quicky snuck out, nearly running back to his hotel.

Bakura looked with pride at the Pinch. He had stolen it from some lab, and he had never felt more proud of his thieving skills. The damned thing weighed like, half-a-ton. Yami care rushing in, huffing and puffing and moving as fast as his skinny little legs could carry him. Bakura looked up… erm… down… urgh, whatever at him. "Where's the lion?" Yami, after regaining his breath quickly explained to Bakura what happened and promptly fell down on the floor. Bakura rolled his eyes. Wussy Pharaoh.

Yami was now sitting on his bed, watching as Bakura fiddled around with the Pinch. He sighed. He hated being such a kill-joy. Believe it or not, he was the one behind all the pranks back when he was little in the palace. Hehe… some dude with evil eyes always got blamed for it. His name was Akuna- yeah, Akunadin. Wait, wasn't that the guy that… Oh, THAT was why Zork hated him. Ah. Yeah, this would explain why he burned up Yami's 'welcome to this world' basket. Such a shame. There were doughnuts and mini-muffins in there.
Suddenly an idea came to him. "Hey Bakura. Can I help?" The white-haired tomb thief nearly fainted from shock. "You? Want to help me? What have you been smoking, Pharaoh, and can I have some?" Yami raised an eyebrow at the other spirit before replying, "I'm sick and tired of being such a damn goody-goody! Let me help steal some money!" Bakura shrugged. "Sure." I need you to tow this out to the parking lot, and when I give you the signal, I want you to press this little button. Okay?" Yami nodded.
"How are you going to give me the signal?" Bakura threw him a walkie-talkie. Yami's eyes widened. "Did you steal this?"
Bakura made a face. "No, I bought them with Kaiba's credit card." Yami smiled. "They're snazzy." The King of Thieves sighed. Yes, the Pharaoh was insane without his shrimp hikari. Mmmm… shrimp…. Mmm…..

Everything was set, the plan was infallible. Yami would press the button, and the Pinch, (plus some Shadow Magic) would blackout the entire city for thirty minutes. Bakura would run to the vault, grab the money, send it to a particular place in the Shadow Realm. Return to the hotel room, come back to the Shadow Realm, grab the money, and then laugh like a kleptomaniac and throw said money around happily. Yes, the plan was perfect.

Yami was standing in the parking lot, Pinch and walkie-talkie ready, and waiting for Bakura to tell him to start. Yami was counting how many pieces of rock there were on the concrete when something occurred to him. He was scared of the dark. He should have brough those glow sticks.
"Pharaoh, I'm ready. Push the button." Bakura whispered over the walkie-talkie. "Pharaoh?" He heard Yami stutter. "I'm scared of the dark, Bakura."
The white-haired spirit wanted to tear his hair out. Which would have been quite a shame seeing how pretty his hair is. "Pharaoh, this is not the time for you to lose your mind completely! Now push the damned button! Before I'll send you to the Shadow Realm where there's no light at all! BWUAHAHAHA!" Yami shivered in fear and squeaked, "O-o-okay." He huddled up in a little spoiky-topped ball and pressed the little button. I a second, all of Las Vegas went black.

Bakura smiled and ran inside the casino cages, seeing absolutly everything in the dark. He finally made it to the vault, grabbed fist fulls of money (not before doing his trademark 'I'm-so-happy-I'm-stealing-tons-of-money' dance. Quickly sending everything to the Shadow Realm, he was about to run back to his hotel room when all of the lights came back on.

The newly-re-lighted Las Vegas heard a furious scream ring though the air,

"DAMN YOU TO HELL PHARAOH!"

Author's Note-

Well I'm sorry it took so long, but you gotta admit it was worth it! More than 2000 words! Woo Hoo! I think I kinda rushed the ending. Whoops. Tell me what you think of it though!

(1) I meant Slifer the sky dragon, in some fics people call him slifer, and in some Osiris, so I just chose that one.
