As they got to the porch Yami unlocked the door and everyone entered, Marik, Kaiba and Bakura went into the living room while Yami went into the kitchen to get drinks.
"So now that were here, what did you want to talk about?" Yami asked Kaiba as he came out of the kitchen with drinks.
"Yes and I think you're going to like it" he replied while taking a drink from the tray Yami put on the table.
"I'll believe that when I hear it, how am I supposed to be happy about something I haven't even heard about yet" ~Bakura asked while taking a sip from his drink.
"Fine, you know when you said you wanted to go somewhere after we graduate Marik" Kaiba explained
"Yeah so" Marik said in a bored tone
"Well you will be happy to know that once we have graduated, we will be going to visit your sister's place in Egypt".
"WHAT" they all shouted in unison, then Bakura added "You can't be fucking serious" gapping like a fish
"I'm dead serious I've called Ishizu and she will have everything ready after the celebration"
"Holy shits are you insane? My sister isn't exactly what you would call a party person, all she will have is food, books and worst of all… girls" they all shudder at the thought.
"Relax I gave her the details of what to have for the party, plus it's a girl free zone"
"Yes and while were there we are going to hook Yami up with someone" Bakura snickered
"I KEEP TELLING YOU ALL I'M NOT GAY, I MAY HATE GIRLS BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME GAY" Yami yelled, and every one jumped at the sudden outburst.
"Yami, my simple spikey haired friend everyone in the whole school knows your gay" Marik said as he walk over to the computer desk and turned on his laptop he left downstairs.
"Oh scallops" Yami cursed
"Anyway back to what I was saying, even though we have a week off we need to think about what we need to do" Kaiba said
"Can this wait till tomorrow we have had a long day and it would be best to sleep on it and figure this all out in the morning when were all wide awake" Yami asked while stifling a yawn,
"Awww your no fun" Bakura pouted which was strange since he never pouts.
"And why is that" Kaiba asked curiously
"Because I wanted to make that little twats life hell" Bakura growled
"Well as much as fun that sounds we should all look…." Marik paused in what he was saying as something on the computer caught his eye.
"What were you going to say because of all the times your on that computer and you are talking to us, never have you frozen like that before, what's the matter" Yami asked in concern, but after he had finished that sentence Marik burst out laughing hysterically.
"Bakura I've think I have some of you e-mail here by mistake" Marik said after calming down a little
"Piss off Marik, I don't know what you are talking about but no way in hell you should have…." Bakura was walking up to Marik through his speech but stopped suddenly as he closely examined what e-mail he was looking at then turned bright red; he quickly snatched Marik's laptop off the desk and ran into the kitchen with it.
"What the bloody hell was that all about" Yami asked looking completely blank
"Nothing much just something Bakura doesn't want people seeing" Marik sniggered
"I don't think I even want to know" Kaiba said while rubbing his head, thinking he might have a headache coming on.
In the kitchen Bakura was skimming through all of Marik's e-mails, though he didn't care if they were private but he needed to find out if there were more of those e-mails Marik found, lucky enough for him there weren't so he deleted the e-mail Marik found and turned the laptop off. He walk over to the cupboards and grabbed a clean glass even though there was a glass in the living room he didn't bother to get it, he put the glass on the counter and walk over to the fridge and took out the water filter and poured himself a drink, he filled it to the top and put it back in the fridge and walked over to the freezer and looked around for some ice cubes to put in the water, he found some and put three in his drink and took a long sip then put it back on the counter, he looked around the kitchen and thought about what had happened in the living room he was still freaked out about how Marik saw a personal e-mail and was also worried if he saw what it had said at the bottom but considering Marik was laughing at the e-mail and that it was only half way up he sighed in relief, he had just got a new job at a new restaurant that had just opened, though no wonder Marik found it so funny Bakura would never even think about getting a job it's so un Bakura of him, that's not what had Bakura worried, it was the fact that for the opening of the restaurant he was allowed to bring one person with him and he was thinking about bringing Marik with him but he didn't want Marik to be offended and ruin their friendship. Bakura didn't know what to think anymore, he liked Marik a lot and didn't know how to tell him so he tried to push the thoughts out of his mind and just think about who to bring with him, he picked the glass up and looked inside and started poking at the ice cubes then something happened that made him drop the glass and yell, he saw an exact replica of himself in the ice but cuter and more innocent it scared the hell out of him and his friends heard him yell and barged through the door and saw that Bakura and a smashed glass on the floor.
"What the hell happened" Kaiba asked while looking from Bakura to the floor.
"I… I… I saw someone who looked like me inside one of the ice cubes, and it scared the hell out of me" Bakura stuttered out.
"I told you I wasn't lying, remember I told you I saw my look alike in the pond out back in the woods" Marik said while looking at Bakura hoping he wasn't hurt.
"Look guys I don't think there are replicas of you guys out there it is just impossible for that to happen the only way you can have replicas is if they are your brothers or twins, but other than that I don't think you have to worry about them, they must be a figure of your imagination" Kaiba said while getting annoyed he thinks these guys are making it up just to pull a joke on him and Yami.
"Look I know what I saw ok" Bakura yelled at Kaiba while kneeling down to pick up the shattered glass.
"Look you guys need to drop this because I agree with Kaiba this is just ridicules, there is no way that this is possible" Yami said but calmer
"WE ARE NOT LYING WE WOULD NEVER LIE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS" Marik screamed
"YOU GUYS ALLWAYS DO STUFF LIKE THIS FOR ATTENTION ITS NO WONDER YOU GUYS LIKE EACH OTHER" Kaiba shouted back but stopped and covered his mouth after what had come out of his mouth.
"WHAT" Bakura shouted but then hissed it pain as he lost grip on a large piece of glass witch pierced his skin and a lot of blood started to spill from his arm.
"OH MY RA BAKURA" Marik yelled and ran to help him, and ignored Kaiba's shocked face.
"I'm fine Marik" Bakura said while his face turned slightly red as Marik started fusing over his arm, although he didn't find it as bad Marik thought otherwise and started looking around for bandages. He found some and started cleaning up the cut, it was quite a long cut but luckily enough it didn't need stitches.
"There you go" Marik said as he finished tying the bandage.
Bakura sighed he didn't need Marik fussing over him.
"Guys can you go we will be with you in a minute" Bakura asked them quietly, Marik looked at Bakura with a shocked expression.
"Yeah sure" Kaiba said just as quiet because it was his fault that this happened, and walked back into the living room.
"Are you both going to be all right" Yami askes
"Yeah we will" Bakura said calmly
Yami just nodded he knew what Bakura wanted with Marik it was quite obvious, since he ran out of the room with Marik's laptop, he gave a quick look over to Marik in case he didn't' what him to leave but Marik just nodded, then Yami left.
"Are you ok" Marik asked
"Yea I'm fine I just wanted to ask you something without them overhearing" Bakura replied while a blush started to cover his face
"What about" Marik was curious now Bakura never talked to him alone
"Well… I was wondering… maybe if… only if you wanted to… if you would come to the opening of the restaurant with me next Monday" Bakura stuttered
"Re…Really" Marik asked in shock
"Yea I thought you would like to" Now it was Bakura's turn to blush
"Sure I would like that" Marik replied while a small smile made its way across his mouth
"Great, I think we should head back in now" Bakura replied while he smiled back, Marik nodded as Bakura got to his feet and offered Marik his hand which he took while blushing again.
As they made their way into the living room they noticed that Kaiba and Yami were talking very quietly about something, their heads shot up as they heard them come through the door.
"Are you ok" Yami asked
"Yea never better" Marik replied with a smile
"Well let's get back to what we were talking about before the incident" Kaiba asked them
They both nodded and sat down next to each other.
"I think that us three should look for a job so that we can by stuff in Egypt" Marik suggested
They all thought about it for a minute until Kaiba spoke a little irritated
"You know I would have lent you money since I'm your friend"
"We know that but I think it would be a good idea since you usually spoil us I thought it would have been a good idea also it would get these two off their asses and pay the rent" Yami said and sniggered at his last remark.
"Hey for your information I have a job and I will be starting next Tuesday after the opening" Bakura said with pride in his voice
"Oh my god, Bakura actually has a job it's a miracle" Kaiba voice dripping with sarcasm
"All right Kaiba knock it off, if you don't believe Kura then, look up that new restaurant that's been built" Marik defended Bakura
"YOU WORK AT THAT NEW RESAURANT" Kaiba screamed
"Yea so what's bad about that" Bakura asked getting mad really quickly
"I funded the research on that building and gave them the money to build it I'm also the owner"
"WHAT" The other three shouted in unison
"You guys really need to stop doing that, and yes I'm the owner deal with it, also since I'm your friend I will give Marik a job there since he is now the only one who doesn't have a job, also if you want Yami I will give you one if you want I have a position you would like"
"And what's that" Yami grumbled
Kaiba smirks at that and says "The manager"
Yami's jaw hit the floor at that remark; Kaiba was going to let him own the place.
"Seriously your letting me, run the place"
"Yep only if you want to, and besides you all get to work there so I don't see the harm in it although you do have to promise that you won't take advantage of the opportunity that I'm going to give you, also I will set the pay on the employees, any questions" Kaiba askes
"Yea what position do me and Bakura have" Marik askes
"You will be the bartender, yes Marik it does have a bar in the lounge area in the back were all the rich people want to have a private dinner area with no interruptions, and Bakura will be one of the waiters in the back as well, any questions now"
"Yeah I have one, is this a five star restaurant" Marik asked
"Yeah it is, that's why I added a back room for all the snobby rich people who want peace and quiet, even though it would be in the main area, but the last restaurant I went to there was a lot of complaints about the noise, so when I funded this I added the back room for those types of people, ok is there any more questions that need to be asked" Kaiba explained
They all shook their heads to the question.
"Looks like I will have to quit my job at the bar" Yami sighed
"It's not like anyone would miss there gay bartender" Bakura snickered
"I have told them I'm not gay, which is the truth" Yami said calmly
"Yami we visited you at work before and people know were gay and that we hang around with you so that means they would have gusset that you are too" Marik explained
"What just because a guy likes to dress effeminately, and hangs around with otter extremely attractive men, and read youi, and flaunts there gorgeous abs automatically makes them gay(1)" Yami asked confused
"Kinda" Bakura replied
"Yea kinda" Kaiba also replied
"Ah you're all pricks" Yami exclaimed
"Well it's no wonder you like us so much" Bakura sneered
"I AM ONE HUNDRED PERCENT STRAIGHT HONASTLY" Yami shouted
"Ok enough of this nonsense" Kaiba yelled
"Sorry, but you should learn to keep your ego to the minimum" Bakura snickered
"Anyway since I am giving you two jobs, you have to come to the opening with Bakura" Kaiba explained
"I'm already going anyway, and I already know" Marik said
"How would you know about it" Kaiba asked curiously
"Bakura asked me to go with him" Marik explained quietly while a blush came across his face
"Oooooooooh is this a date I'm hearing" Yami smirked
"Knock it off" Marik mumbled
"Oook I'm going to head off now so I'll see you all on Monday night, also I'm going to get you all a tux for the occasion, and don't worry about when we leave for Egypt after graduation I'll sort that out" Kaiba said while standing, after explaining to them all he left.
After Kaiba left Yami went into the kitchen to get some microwave pizzas out and cooked them for dinner.
"So what shall we do about the weekend I don't think there's much we can do until the opening" Marik asked Bakura as he helped with the dishes
"Don't know, maybe we should study for the exams or something" Bakura went silent after that
"Are you ok, or is this about what Yami said earlier about a date" Marik mumbled
Bakura looked at him for a minute debating whether or not if he should say he wanted it to be a date or not, but thought better of it.
"Well I thought that…. Um….. Maybe that... We would go as just friends" Bakura stuttered out
"Oh ok then" Marik looked depressed after that
"Well I'm going to bed now so see you in the morning" Bakura said
Marik just nodded in response, as Bakura left him in the kitchen, when he heard Bakura's door close he knelt down on the floor and put his head in his arms.
"Why do I bother thinking he likes me" He whispered
He didn't know how long he was sat there for but after a while he got up and went to his room.
"NIGHT YOU TWO" Yami yelled from his room and soon after that they all fell asleep.
