Bakura: O_______________O
LD: Uh, yoohoo, anyone home in a certain white crowned cranium?
Bakura: O_______________O
Tea: Is he dead, or do I still have to correct him being alive?
Bakura:I worked for hundreds of episodes in almost ten different seasons to become Pharoh.....and you decide in three puny lines that Tea is the new one?
LD:That's life, or whatever kind of existence you have....., just like I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! The exclamation mark is there because I forget if that's actually part of the title.........

Malik saw the school, and he could have cried of relief at his salvation from Tea's domineering conversational tendencies.
Yami, who coincidentally exited a different road to the school at the same time with Yugi and the furious Ryou, actually still was crying from exposure to the terror a ticked off Ryou inspired.
Standing in the entrance with Ishizu, Bakura lamented deeply as he realized the fans had caused his hair to stick out to one side.
Somewhere, in an innocent land whose people just didn't care that much about card games, a young finch chirped an innocent melody to the rising sun.
Then the forces collided, and all -insert word of choice here- broke loose.
"Tea!" "Hi Yugi!" "Greetings, my errant brother.." "Yami?" "Don't 'errant' me, Ishizu!" "I'm surprised you know what errant means, Mal-"
"BAKURA!!!!" Because for a Brit, muffins are the last straw. Bakura had time for one panicked, somewhat effiminate shriek before Ryou hauled him bodily away.
The others were left standing awkwardly. Other students of Domino High-believe it or not, they do exist- started to trickle past them into the building.
"So, ummm," Tea giggled nervously. "Awfully flour-y today, isn't it?" Malik ogled her from the corner of his eyes, and felt sincerely grateful that stupidity was not contagious.
"Listen carefully to me." Ishizu's monotone banished the silence.
Ire flaring, Malik interjected hastily. "I refuse to go back, sister. I love you and Rishid, but I cannot continue in the type of environment you two foster! I want something different; I need it! I. Am. Not. Going. Back!"
Stars sparkling in their eyes, Yugi and Tea stood in awe of his declaration. Surely, it required an incredible resolve to distance yourself from your family and the life you knew! Hearts flashed in their eyes alongside the stars. And, the two sighed in unison and clasped their hands, he did it all for the sake of accomplishing his dream. How wondrous!
"Be that as it may," the priestess's drawl shattered their delusions of nobility and grandeur, "I was not actually talking to you, Malik."
Still operating, the fans supplied an appropriate breeze that whistled through the suddenly still forms.
"Ooooooh burn!" Yami booed as he leaned out from behind his shorter counterpart. His voice seemed to be a stimulant for motion. Yugi, maintaining a serene smile, hit Yami over the head with a frying pan. Twirling around like a ballerina, tutu and all, Yami collided with Tea.
Yugi, hurrying over to her, accidentally smacked her in the head with the pan he still clutched.
Yelping, Tea fell backwards into a giant door. Its name was Seto Kaiba.
"So, how is it that one of you pathetic mongrels always contrive to ruin my day?" His tone was like a blast of winter. Nearby plants withered; all wildlife quickly fled.
Still collapsed against his chest, Tea giggled hysterically. Apparently, being hit in the head with a frying pan was not the best thing for your state of mind, especially in the morning.
Carefully, Malik reached out and tugged Tea away from Kaiba. The lavender eyed boy hadn't expected her to just fall right into him. He blushed as he felt her breath on the skin of his neck, and shifted his arms to support her in a sort of half hug. Mentally, he made a note to examine her head later: her brown locks probably concealed a huge swelling. Observant violet eyes watched him; Yugi smiled gently at the scene.
In the meanwhile, Kaiba had carefully disinfected his coat with his own special brand of KaibaCorp Germ killer spray. With a snotty snort, he began to proceed past. Unfortunately.....
"Look Malik," Tea smiled woozily. "That man's the reason for global warming."
Instantly, Kaiba halted and spun back around to face the still-wobbling girl. "Is that an accusation concerning the environmental impact of my company, Gardner?" His eyes were shooting daggers, KaibaCorp brand.
Malik winced as Tea took no heed. "All the glaciers," she whispered in a voice everyone heard as she leaned closer to his ear, "migrated up his ass."
'Oh Ra,' Malik bemoaned mentally as total destruction broke loose, 'We're all going to die.'
....................................................................................................................................................
'Oh Ra,' Bakura panicked as he was slammed against the lockers by his irate hikari. 'I'm going to die AGAIN!!'
"Now then, Bakura, if you don't mind," Ryou purred menacingly. "What, by the name of Big Ben, made you think you could just skip off with my blooming flour?"
"Well, you see," Bakura sighed inwardly: this was gonna be embarressing. "Ishizu kindasortamumblemumble......"
Ryou cocked an eyebrow and pushed him further into the locker. "Sorry, mate, didn't catch that."
Bakura took a deep breath and tried not to cry. "ISHIZU TOOK MY TEDDY BEAR!!! My precious Mr. Fuzzy! There, happy?!"
"Yes, actually," Ryou smiled as he pressed stop on the tape recorder he had hid behind his back. "Can't wait to get more copoes of these."
Bakura gaped at his receding back, utterly flabbergasted.
"Oh, and by the way," Ryou paused and turned back to Bakura, grim satisfaction on his face. "I expect three dozen muffins to be waiting for me when I return home. Tata for now, you wanker."
And that said, he continued on his way.
Too bad only three steps later he tripped over his shoelaces. Bakura sighed and went to go console his hikari.

Things were looking a little nasty outside the school. Yami was trying to beat Kaiba over the head with one of the fans, screaming about how 'Penguins have feelings too!' Yugi strived to restrain him, but due to his freakishly short stature- "I'm a late bloomer, damnit!"- he was being whirled around like a leaf in a maelstorm. Joey had showed up out of nowhere and bodyslammed the closest person- a tiny freshman with glasses and braces. Kaiba had screamed at him about having respect for nerds, and it was on.
Tea and Malik stood to the side, wearing mutually freaked out expressions.
"I guess Yami took me seriously when I said that about global warming, huh?"
"I guess so."
They observed the battle for about fifteen more minutes. Ishizu had entered the fray after Kaiba had accidentally fallen on top of her and ripped out a huge hunk of her hair. Tea hissed in sympathy as she saw the bald patch; that would take a while to regrow. Currently, the irate priestess belabored the CEO with a large rock she found on the ground. Finally losing his cool, Kaiba pimpslapped Joey. Unfortunately, he still had Ishizu's hair in his fingers when he did so, and Joey started choking on the hair. Yugi instantly struck his back, causing a huge wad of hair and spit to fly from the blonde's mouth and hit-
"Oh dear." said Tea as Yami flung the fan into the air and ran around shrieking about being blinded by unmentinable substances.
"You know," Tea mentioned. "When he says it like that, it sounds really.."
"Bad." Malik nodded, and they both gagged.
An hour passed, and they both had sat on the ground. Malik brooded, and Tea drew random scribbles in the dirt with a stick.
"You know," Tea drawled, smushing her cheek as she leaned it into her hand. "I don't think we're ever getting in."
Groaning, Malik collapsed backwards. "And this was going to be my first day too... what a lousy way to make a good impression." Tea looked at him sympathetically, then smiled.
"Well, instead, how about I show you around Domino?" She perkily asked.
Malik blearily peeked at her through one eye. "You've got to be kidding me. I've already been here, remember?"
Throwing the stick away-it went up Kaiba's youknowwhere to join the glaciers, Tea rolled her eyes. "Nope, I had no idea. Heck, who the crud are you?" She grinned at Malik.
"Come on, you've been here before, but I don't think you were exactly in the position for a more leisurely, lighthearted perusement of my glorious city?"
Finally cracking a smile, Malik concurred with a drawn out 'Very well'.
"TASTE THE WRATH OF MY SHADOW BIND, YOU RA-DAMNED--"
"That does it Motou, I'm calling my robot army to come kick your impoverished a-"
"JOEY WHEELER WEDGY!!"
"AHHhh! Joey, why'd you dod that to me?!"
"Sorry Yug', my geek destruction instincts kicked in..."
"Actually," Malik gritted out in a forced smile. "As long as we get out of here right now, I really don't mind if you want to take a picnic lunch to Antartica. Let's go."
Somehow on fire, a trashcan flew just above their heads.
Malik looked at the helplessly smiling Tea and glared. "Now."

There we go, Chapter #7. Almost two months after the last chapter! Please forgive, my precious computer contracted a Trojan virus, and it took forever to purge it.
I hope you like the story. I was wondering about whether to add in some BakuraxTea, or to do BakuraxRyou. Could you please give me your input?
As ever, thanks for reading!
