A Tale of Two Bunnies

Chapter 6:

"Well this is lovely."

"You know what, Pharaoh? You can shut up."

Yugi puffed out his cheeks. "That's not very—"

"And so can you."

"…"

Mokuba sighed finally at the silence in the little red car hovering peacefully through the blackness of space. He climbed out of the backseat and replaced himself in the passenger's seat up beside Marik. It made no never mind to Mokuba when Marik eyed him contemptuously as he clasped his seatbelt securely over his chest.

Yami, after recovering from being told to shut his mouth, cleared his throat. "Marik, I'm afraid I can't allow you to endanger my hikari's life any more than you already have. You can drop us off back on Earth."

Marik looked at him. He considered this and finally said, "No."

Yami choked. "W-What do you mean, 'no'?"

"You were the ones who jumped on the car! If anyone, blame Mokuba!"

"Me?" Mokuba squeaked.

"Yes, you! You insisted we open the windshield to let them in! Your fault!"

"Now wait a minute," Yugi said, jumping in to save the day. "I-It's no one's fault, just calm down! Yami, please don't pick fights; I'm alright. No broken bones or anything."

Yami folded his arms across his chest. "Still…"

There was a moment of uncomfortable silence. Marik was annoyed at everyone, Yami was clearly upset and Yugi was trying very hard to maintain his cheerful smile. Mokuba scratched the back of his head. "So… where do we go from here?"

Marik's gaze shifted. "What do I look like, a space cadet? This is my first time out of the earth's atmosphere, too."

"Mokuba, was there anything Ryou said that maybe we could use to find them?" Yugi asked.

"… Well… no… To be honest, this is pretty sad. Space is like… space, you know?" He sighed. "They could be anywhere!"

Everyone sweatdropped. Except Marik. His light bulb went off and he began to dig in his back pockets. Mokuba watched him transfer his hands into each of his pockets and finally found whatever it was he was looking for in one of his leg pockets. He held up a small gadget and shouted, "Found it!"

"What is it?" Yami asked dully. "Some kind of torture device?"

"Yup."

"…!"

"Well, I mean, it can be. This," he tapped it, "is actually a tracker."

They blinked.

Marik nodded. "That's right. This is the second half of it, the little green blink. The first part, which is with Malik, gives off a signal and that's this little red blink, see?" He leaned over to show Mokuba, and Yami and Yugi peeked over his shoulder.

"Wow! Okay, I get it." Mokuba smiled. "That red dot is Malik. And since he's with Ryou and so is my brother, we'll find them!"

Yugi gave a happy cry. "That's a great idea, Marik!"

Yami was sulking in the corner of the backseat, his arms across his chest. Marik grinned back at him but Yami turned his head away and huffed.

"This is so cool, it's like something right out of a spy movie." Mokuba was clearly in a state of shock over the little thing. He beamed up at Marik and asked, "So what? Did you stick in Malik's brain?"

"No, I put it on my tongue and jammed it up his—"

"Hey!" Yami shouted, covering Yugi's ears. "We don't need to hear all that!"

"I wanna hear it!" Mokuba volunteered hungrily.

Marik raised an eyebrow. "Does your brother know the kind of stuff you're into?"

"No and I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell him."

Suddenly the car was banged against and went sailing about twenty yards away from where they were previously floating aimlessly. Everyone went rocking to the right side of the car and bashed their heads against the metal. Marik immediately scrambled from his new spot on top of Mokuba's head and grabbed a hold of the steering wheel.

"What the hell was that?" he and Yami both called out. They looked at each other.

Yugi pointed between Marik's blond spikes. "Over there! An asteroid!"

"Get your hands out of my hair!"

"Marik, look out!" Mokuba screamed as yet another rock came hurdling towards them, this one a bit bigger than the last. Marik swerved right violently and it missed them by an inch.

Everyone sighed.

"What the heck was that all about," Mokuba panted, looking around. He was quiet for a second and then his stormy eyes widened into dinner plates.

Marik blinked and then looked foreword, his jaw coming unhinged. "Oh… my Ra."

Yami and Yugi looked up and both make squeaky noises from the back of their throats. All around the hover car were more asteroids, different in size and shape and there was very little space between them. It seemed as if they had all appeared suddenly, surrounding them.

Yugi gulped. "An asteroid belt. Wonderful."

"What do we do now?" Yami moaned.

"Oh shut up," Marik said. "If we just maneuver around them, we should be okay."

Mokuba nodded. Marik began to push the gas pedal but was stopped as Yugi, Yami and Mokuba each put a hand on his shoulder. "Slowly," they urged.

"I got it. Jeez." He rolled his eyes and soon the car began to putt around the large rocks floating around them. They moved quite often and the passengers were given more than a few scares. In fact, with Marik's constant veering, they nearly wet their pants.

Actually, Yami did wet his pants but no one knew until a few minutes later.

"… The seat's wet." Yugi looked down at it.

Yami patted his hikari's head. "Don't worry about that."

"…"

Yugi narrowed his eyes at Yami but the slightly taller of the two made no gesture that he'd noticed. Yugi decided it would be in his best interest to scoot over into the other corner. So he did and the car suddenly shifted to avoid another asteroid, throwing Yugi off balance and sending him flying into the back of Marik's head. Marik shouted out in pain as his forehead collided with the steering wheel. The car lunged foreword when a button in the middle of the thing was pressed.

The hover car went ramming right into the rock that it had been trying to avoid. Everyone in the car then went flying towards the windshield, their faces smearing saliva against the glass. Mokuba's seatbelt snapped suddenly and he slid over, ramming into Marik's side and pushing them both against the driver's side window. No one was able to gain any sort of coherence when, a second later, another asteroid—a smaller one, the size of the car itself—came whizzing past them and tailgating the car, sending it whirling and right into an asteroid the size of two of Kaiba's mansions.

The left side of the car banged and everyone went rolling to the other side. Almost all the seatbelts had broken with the exception of the unused one in the middle of the backseat. Yugi fell from his spot by the window and tumbled until he flipped the passenger's seat over with his back and landed butt-first on the green lever, sending it jerking up and sending the car rocketing foreword.

They all screamed sounds of terror and confusion, their bodies flying backwards, to the rear windshield. Asteroids on all sides of them moved and they couldn't dodge—no one was able to reach the wheel. Marik tried; he tried to stick out his foot to reach the wheel but it went knocking back and hit Yami in the head violently. The car continued to shoot down the asteroid belt, being bumped and scratched by passing rocks. The paint on the left side was almost all rubbed off and a large chunk of the right wing was completely gone.

"Somebody stop the damn thing!" Marik yelled above the roar of the engine.

Yami growled, "You're tallest!"

"So what?" he screamed back and Mokuba thought this was getting them no where very fast. For all they knew, they could be zooming in the opposite direction of wherever his brother might be. He grabbed a hold of the leather upholstery on the seat and crawled down to the floor of the car. Managing to find the front seat with his hands, he groped some more and finally found the green lever. He happily pushed it back to its original position.

The car stopped on a dime and everyone fell foreword. Mokuba, because of his light weight and small size, flipped foreword and his lower back rammed into another button, sending the car plummeting from the black sky and into abyss. The scream was sucked out of everyone.

Her Sweetness: It's short, I know. But I really wanted to get it out on my birthday! I'll make the next chapter VERY nice and juicy for you all if you'll review, alright?
