Sightseeing tour

Chapter 3

'Hikari, I don not like this…' Bakura thought sourly. He reconsidered once again to take control but he knew he can't escape even like that. As much as he hated to admit, he was unfamiliar with the place as well as with the language. So he remained in his soul room where he could shut out the happenings of the outside world, at least as long as something interesting did not happen.

'Aibou, with all respect, I can't take it anymore. Next time only tell me when something interesting happens. Please' with that the ex-pharaoh retreated into the depths of the Millennium Puzzle.

"I'm so glad I don't have a yami anymore" Malik chuckled silently after he caught Yuugi and Ryou rolling their eyes skyward then refocusing at her sister's, miraculously rather sour, sightseeing tour. Usually she gave interesting tours, not just in the opinion of some perverted person. But being that she herself was rather unfamiliar with the city they had to get a tour guide book for help, as she refused to not see the sights because of her lack of knowledge about them. Meaningless to say, this part was from the book, the others were rather her usual representations.

"And this is the Antique Street" Isis raised her hand indicating the street they entered while she tucked the book into her bag. After they walked through the street while hearing all different stories about the shops the street got its nickname after they arrived at the other end of said street. With Mai's persuasion they headed for the mall located some minutes down the way, the Westend City Centre.

After lunch, they found a Hungarian restaurant and tried out the native dishes, they explored the shopping center. Mai and Isis headed for some shops they labeled 'guys not allowed to go' at which the 'younger' girls considered not to go either. Rishid left for god-knows-where, leaving the teens to themselves.

After a good hour of wondering they split up, Jounichi and Honda heading back to the food courts, Yuugi, Ryou and Mokuba left for the game shops hoping to find some new Duel Monsters Cards, and also this way they could make their yamis shut up tough Bakura was highly disappointed for not following Mai and Isis. Malik, reconsidering joining one of the guys groups or going along, joined the girls hoping they wouldn't go to way too embarrassing places.

What, for his luck, didn't happen. He got dragged into more clothes shop than what satisfied his taste, but it was still better then what he imagined. Though he had slight problems with one particular shop.

"I'm not going in there" he stated calmly with a blank face. At least that's what he shoved for the outside world, inside he was freaked out form his wits. The three girls simultaneously raised their eyebrows at him with questioning looks accompanying them.

"Malik, we dragged you into several shoe, clothes and jewelry shops, not to mention the drudgeries, book stores, that tattooing saloon or th-"

"What she wants to say is that you came along to all this and now you won't come in to this shop?" Anzu asked him, slightly amused by his behavior especially when his face turned tomato red. But who wouldn't be in his place.

"What the hell are your problems? It's a frigging shop for pregnant women!" he hissed at them than proceeded to a free bench at the fountain. When he was out of earshot the girls glanced at each other then smirked wickedly.

"I really thought we have to get to some underwear shop to have this affect" a highly amused Anzu stated to her friends.

"Though I still don't get why is he so freaked out of this shop. That jewelry shop with the old lady was a lot worse" Shizuka thought aloud then shrugged. They turned to the third member of the group to see her deep in thought.

"You know" Cam looked up at them "I still think we should drag him to Women's Secret" a smirk appeared on her face as she finished the sentence. The others looked at her as if she went crazy, what might have happened, then looked at each other and once again at their friend.

"But we achieved our goal…" Shizuka trailed of thinking things over. Though Malik didn't have the rod anymore he could be quite scary still. Thus it may be better if they didn't cross that line. For their own good.

"Shizuka's right, we shouldn't cross that line… he tends to be pretty scary when we do that…I mean you do remember that incident…" Camilla echoed dissapointed thinking back to a particular incident when the guys pushed the Egyptian in to the girls changing room. The consequences were painful, for everyone.

"Oh… yeah, that was quiet, erm, interesting, to say the least. But enough of it, we had to head back" she shrugged it off with a nervous laugh "so Cam, go and get him" and a slight push directed her friend toward the boy.

After hours of sightseeing and mall-venturing the gang finally arrived at the hotel, went their respected rooms and unceremoniously collapsed on their beds. And Mai said there are more malls she wanted to drag them off to.

After an hour everyone went down to venture in the hotel, and then met at the café for some snacks, and to share their adventures. Mai and Isis promptly stated their shopping wasn't something the boys would be interested in, and thus the subject was dropped, for the utmost disappointment of some teenage boys and an ancient Egyptian tomb robber.

Jounichi and Honda just shrugged saying the arcade was nowhere near the one in Domino, in other words they were bored to death, and didn't had enough money to buy all the food they wanted. Mokuba enjoyed going around the shops very much as well as Ryou and Yuugi, latter because no one recognized him, and even found some rather interesting cards, for the joy of a certain pharaoh, and it turned out even Bakura enjoyed the trip after finding some very grotesque games for himself, though his hikari didn't buy it and because of certain 'problems' he did not steal it either. After the girls story, for Malik's embarrassment, the guys didn't reacted the way they thought they will.

"They almost forced you into that kind of a shop?" Honda asked disbelievingly. Yep, they weren't laughing, quiet the opposite: felt utmost sympathy with their friend for the torture he had to go trough, although he did choose to go with the girls, but still.

The rest of the day went rather uneventfully, if the daily brawling and bickering didn't count. At the dinner the venturing-group went over every interesting part of their journey, successfully living out most of the sightseeing Isis introduced from the book, for the three men that could not come, not like a certain brunet regretted.

Retiring to their respected rooms, everyone went too sleep rather early, greatly exhausted from the day. Or almost everyone. Two pairs of eyes looked at each other, mischief glittering in understanding. The next day would be most interesting, for sure.
