Lyn looked up just in time to see Marik's left hand disappearing behind a silently closing door. Apparently Reneey had taken it upon herself to drag him away into another room while nobody was looking.
Finally Lyn just blinked, looked at Atem who was still being restrained (only now by both Yugi and Joey) and asked, "Er.. what just happened?"
"LET -- ME -- AT HIM!" Atem yelled, still struggling -- then suddenly he freed himself, and Seto's eyes widened.
Mokuba chose that moment to run by again, this time screaming, "ANGRY, HOMICIDAL PHARAOH ON THE LOOSE!"
Lyn, in contrast, placed herself between Seto and Atem and a low growl rumbled in her throat as she met her father's angry glare with one of her own.
"Where.. are Reneey and Marik?" Bakura suddenly demanded.
Atem calmed himself down and, though still breathing heavily, managed to say through gritted teeth, "Lyn... you are my daughter, and I love you... and.. though you are dating my archrival..." He paused to sigh. "I'm.. accepting this... relationship."
Everyone blinked, and Lyn found herself looking and feeling utterly bewildered. There was a long silence, which Seto finally broke with a raised eyebrow and a cool voice.
"And who said we need your permission?"
Lyn promptly planted her palm in the middle of her forehead and wondered if Seto was trying to get himself killed. Or maybe it was just that he was still playing tough and uncaring; that seemed to be the more likely possibility.
Atem twitched and glared daggers at Seto before growling, "But you -- you'd better not hurt her."
There was another silence, and this time Bakura broke it, saying angrily, "That's all well and good, but I don't care! Where are my daughter and that tombkeeper scum?"
Meanwhile, there was giggling coming from a nearby room.
"Hey, watch it. This place is small, you know..."
"Oh, shut it! It's not like we're doing anything wrong." Just from that, you could almost hear Reneey rolling her eyes.
"Why are we in here, again?"
"'Cuz Daddy will kill ya..."
"Are they.. no... they wouldn't be," Bakura was stammering, and suddenly Lyn's eyes flashed dangerously as that familiar green fire sprang up in them.
"YUO DID NOT JUST THINK THAT SHE WAS HAVING SEX!"
Bakura's eyes widened as Lyn suddenly grabbed Marik's Rod, which he had dropped on the floor, and proceeded to chase him around with it, yelling, "YOU STUPID, PERVERTED, COTTON-PICKING IDGET!"
"This is.. some whacked-out party," Yugi mumbled, shaking his head.
