Sorry this chapter is late but I've had writer's block. That and has been totally screwed up lately. First it won't load documents, then it won't send out alerts. At least the system's working now.

Okay, erm, updates may be kinda infrequent from now on since I have exams looming and pressure gives me writer's block so be warned.

Yamiace 1321 – I have two accounts because one I share with my friend and I wanted some way of separating us but wasn't willing to delete all the fics that I already have on this account and move them elsewhere because that would be just too confusing.

Please do not take offense when i talk about Easter. I'm Christian and i meant all of what i write in good taste. Alright, now that that's done we can all move onto the craziness that is this chapter!


Chapter 28- Easter

Very soon winter ended and spring arrived. The cold weather was replaced by warmth as the plants and animals came out of hibernation. Everyone rejoiced as the season of new life rolled in. That wasn't the only reason they rejoiced though.

"Chocolate!"

The cry was echoed as the group of teenagers dived into the pile of Easter eggs. Even Yami, the dignified King of Games, rushed in so that nobody else could claim the Dairy Milk egg. Only Seto stood back, having learned from Mokuba that chocolate could turn even the cutest person vicious. "Shouldn't you wait until after breakfast before gorging on chocolate?" Everyone ignored him.

"Quick Ryou, hide this in our room before the Pharaoh can get his hands on it," Bakura said as he shoved a pile of boxes into Ryou's arms.

"Fine, but you better get me an After Eight egg," Ryou said as he rushed off with the boxes.

Meanwhile, Jou and Marik were fighting over the box with the Galaxy egg in it. "I saw it first!" Jou cried as he tugged the box towards him.

"No, I did!" Marik shouted as he pulled the box away from Jou.

They continued in this manner until the box was torn in half. Both blonds immediately jumped on the floor, trying to grab the egg and chocolate bars before the other could. Unfortunately for them, Yami noticed the struggle and claimed the egg before they could reach it. Marik growled as he watched his prize disappear. He reached out and caught Yami's leg as he tried to escape, making the other fall and squish the egg in the process. Marik then rolled Yami over so that he could steal the chocolate that hadn't been turned into dust. He cackled before running off to fight Yugi for another egg.

When there was nothing left to fight over they all sat down and looked around at the carnage they had caused. Torn bits of boxes and crushed chocolate covered the floor. "No way am I cleaning that up," declared Ryou.

"Just leave it for the rats to eat," Bakura said matter-of-factly.

"Rats?!" Yugi cried, looking around in fear.

Yami put his arm around his hikari. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Yugi smiled in thanks. Jou turned to Seto. "Will you save me from the rats?"

"Like hell I will," replied Seto. "It's every man for himself."

"You're a bastard, you know that?"

"Of course. Do you think Kaiba Corp would be the successful business it is now if I was some soft-hearted pansy?"

"…Yes?"

Seto rolled his eyes. "You know nothing about business." With that he stormed out of the common room, most probably to get breakfast.

Eventually the others followed after him, all just as eager to eat something relatively healthy before they stuffed their faces with chocolate.


"Ryou, what's the meaning of Easter?" Bakura asked out of the blue.

Ryou looked up from his book. "What?"

"Is there a reason for giving people you hate chocolate in the form of eggs or do we do it for the hell of it?"

"Easter is a celebration of spring and new life, that's why we give chocolate eggs. It's a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus."

"Who?"

"Jesus, the Son of God, the people's saviour. He was tried on the Thursday, crucified on the Friday and came back to life on Sunday."

"So he was a spirit like me?"

"No, Christians believe he was the Son of God."

"Which god? Osiris? Seth? Ra?"

"Not an Egyptian god – the God, creator of everything."

"So he was a pharaoh?"

"Well, he was a king-"

"So we're actually celebrating the death of a pharaoh?"

"Resurrection, actually."

"In that case I'm not going to celebrate this stupid holiday. Like hell I'm going to be happy about a pharaoh coming back to life."

"I guess that means I'm going to have to eat all your chocolate."

"Touch my chocolate and I'll make you suffer."

Ryou quickly went back to reading his book to avoid Bakura's deadly glare.


Now that it was officially spring the sun decided to come out and fool the residents of Hogwarts into thinking it was warm. It wasn't though and there was much grumbling when people stepped into the grounds and realized that they would have to go back to their common room to find a coat. Of course, if you were a psychopath you didn't think like that.

"Marik don't you dare set the grass on fire."

Marik pouted. "But I'm cold and want to get warm."

"Then get a coat but don't set the bloody grass on fire!" Malik sighed and rubbed his temples. "Sometimes I really do wonder what goes on in that brain of yours."

"You really don't think he's that complex an organism to have a brain do you?" Seto said with a superior smirk.

"You lost me at complex."

Seto rolled his eyes. "It's official – all blonds are idiots."

"Hey!" Jou and Malik said simultaneously.

"You do know I'm part blond," Yami said, pointing to his bangs.

"What's your point?"

Yami glared at Seto. "When Yugi isn't looking I am definitely going to mind crush you."

"I'm so scared," Seto replied sarcastically.

"You should be," Yami replied darkly, shadow magic crackling around him.

"Hey!" Bakura shouted as he pushed Yami to the ground. "I'm the evil one here Pharaoh so back off."

Ryou groaned. "Please don't start arguing over who's the most evil," he pleaded.

The others ignored him and started fighting over who really was the evillest. Yugi shook his head. "Why does it matter who is the most evil?"

"It's just another excuse for arguing and trying to prove they're superior to the rest," Ryou rationalized.

"Being evil makes you superior?"

Ryou rolled his eyes. "In the eyes of our psycho boyfriends – yes."

After much deliberation there was no clear winner. So, as a bunch of hapless Gryffindors passed on their way to Care of Magical Creatures Class, Malik grabbed one and asked, "Who do you think is the most evil?"

Ron looked at them all uneasily. "I don't know, you're all as evil as each other?"

"Wrong answer," replied Malik before throwing him back to Harry and Hermione.

Then, as a group of Slytherins walked passed, Marik dragged one from the group and repeated Malik's question. Draco smirked and said, "Me."

"Wrong answer," Marik said before throwing the Slytherin to the ground.

Draco stood up, his face the twisted in anger. "You'll pay for that," he hissed as he pulled out his wand.

"But I don't have any money," Marik whined.

Harry stepped forward bravely to defend the unarmed psycho. "You wouldn't dare Malfoy."

"Oh but I would Potter."

"For Ra's sake stop posing and kiss already!"

Everyone's head snapped around to face Bakura. The white haired yami stood with his arms crossed a look of seriousness on his face. "Honestly, why the hell are you doing this Ra damned bravado act? Just take off your clothes and get on with it; it's really not that hard."

Harry and Draco's mouths were moving but no words were coming out. They looked like fish out of water. It would have been a very funny scene if you just happened to walk by, or if you were an Ishtar. Both blonds broke down laughing while everyone else looked uneasily at each other.

The laughter helped to snap Draco and Harry out of their shock. Harry coughed and looked about edgily. "I…have to go defeat Voldermort and save the world. Yeah, that's what I have to do. To the Harry cave!" With that he took off back towards the castle with Ron right behind him, demanding to know when he got his own cave. Hermione slapped her hand to her forehead and held it over her eyes, embarrassed.

Draco also looked around uneasily before saying, "Yeah, I've got to go too. I've got to…plot the downfall of the school-I mean Gryffindor, yes: I'm going to plot Gryffindors' downfall. Minions follow me!" With that he ran off across the lawns, the two lumps of flesh known as Crabbe and Goyle following mindlessly behind him.

There was an awkward silence once they were gone. Slowly, the poor traumatized students made their way towards their next lesson. Ryou then smacked the back of Bakura's head. "What have I told you about scaring people?"

Bakura rubbed the back of his head with annoyance. "I was only saying what everyone else was too damn polite to say."

"Yes and there are reasons that it's impolite to say things like that."

When the two white haired teens got into a full blown argument their friends started ignoring them. "Now what are we going to do?" asked Jou.

Seto shrugged. "Try and drown Yami in the lake."

Yami paled as he noticed the identical evil grins spread across Malik and Marik's faces. He backed away from the two while hissing at Seto, "Stop giving them ideas."

"What are you so worried about? Bakura didn't drown in the lake so you probably won't either."

"Probably?"

Seto's brow creased in frustration. "Do I look like an expert on the matter of magic?"

Yami didn't answer, he was too busy running away from the psycho blonds. Yugi gave Seto a withering glance. "You planned that didn't you?"

Seto smiled smugly. "Perhaps."

Yugi shook his head. "I better go stop them. Or stop Yami from sending them to the Shadow Realm again."

"I'll help," offered Jou. "And while we're at it we can upload embarrassing pictures onto the internet."

"You don't have any embarrassing pictures of me."

Jou grinned deviously. "Actually I do. Do you know that you drool when you're asleep? Mokuba sent me some lovely pictures of you in your Blue Eyes pyjamas – and in your dollar sign boxers."

Seto paled before going red with anger, creating a pretty Barbie pink tint. "That little brat; how could he do that after everything I've done for him! When I get back he'll wish I had stayed away from home longer than a year! And you – don't think I've forgotten you – upload those pictures and I swear I will kill you!"

"You'll have to catch me first!" Jou shouted before running like mad. He'd learned from experience that Seto's longer legs made him a hell of a lot faster than he should be for a guy who spent his life in front of a computer.

Yugi watched quietly as an enraged Seto chased a fleeing Jou. He shook his head sadly as he noticed that there was a big black cloud forming near the castle. Apparently Yami had decided to start a Shadow Game. Great, just great – another mess for him to clean up. Why the hell did he solve the Millennium Puzzle again? Oh yeah, he'd wanted that wish the box had said would be granted if he solved it. It was such a pity Ancient Egyptian artefacts didn't have fine print on them; it would have been nice to have some warning of what was about to happen to him.

With a weary sigh he set off to stop the world being destroyed once again.


As May rolled in so did exams. Every student in the school cursed with taking these things of evil were insanely jealous of those who got to lounge about in the sun all day instead of doing hours of revision. Envious looks were cast across the dinning room as Malik walked in with an even deeper Egyptian tan than before. They'd then think 'I'm so glad that's not me' when Bakura walked in with bright red burnt skin.

"I told you to put on sun tan lotion but did you listen?" Ryou repeated for the hundredth time to Bakura. "Seriously, back in Egypt you might not have needed to worry about these things but your skin is so much fairer now that you can't lie out in the sun all day so stop trying to compete with Malik."

"I am not trying to compete!" Bakura raged in response. "And stop nagging me like a Ra-damned female."

Bakura regretted his remark when Ryou hit his sun burn. He hissed at the pain before taking a cup of water and pouring its contents over his arm. The coolness eased the pain slightly but it still irritated him greatly.

"Ryou's right Bakura," Malik said smugly. "You shouldn't try to compete with me since there's no way anyone can ever get close to being this perfect." He finished his statement by flicking his long golden hair over his shoulder like a super model.

Bakura growled. "We'll see how perfect you are when I cut off your hair."

Malik gasped and clutched his hair protectively. Marik then pulled his love to him going, "Don't you dare threaten my precious' hair!"

"Bloody hell, when did you get so vain," muttered Yami.

Marik rounded on him. "Oh don't pretend you don't spend five hours in front of a mirror in the morning."

"I don't spent five hours!" Yami said, appalled.

"It's more like three," Yugi mumbled quietly.

Yami turned to him aghast. "Yugi!"

"It's true though!"

"You don't need to tell them that though!"

"We already knew you spent loads of time in front of the mirror," said Ron calmly. "I mean, why else would your hair be three different colours if you didn't dye and style it?"

"This is our natural colour!" said Yugi, slightly offended by the comment.

"Keep telling yourself that," Ron said before shovelling whatever was on his plate into his mouth.

"Can I mind crush him?" Yami asked Yugi quietly, also fuming at the insult to his hair.

It took Yugi awhile to answer. "No, that would be wrong." Even though this was what he said, Yugi didn't sound too sure about his answer.

"Can I send him to the Shadow Realm then?"

Bakura then interrupted their private conversation. "Hey, Pharaoh, if I'm not allowed to send someone to the Shadow Realm then you can't either."

"Shut up Tomb Robber."

"No, you shut up."

"You shut up!"

"You shut up!"

"Both of you shut up before I make you!" screamed Hermione while banging down her knife and fork.

"Damn PMS female," Bakura muttered under his breath.

Unfortunately Hermione heard him and (in trying to prove that he was wrong and get her revenge) threw her glass of water over him. There was a moment of deathly silence before Ryou jumped to his feet, pulling Bakura up with him by his T-shirt. "We've both had enough to eat so I think we'll leave right now before this turns into a blood bath." He and Bakura quickly exited so that dinner could resume as normal.

"Way to prove his PMS theory wrong Hermione," said Ron before he got punched in the face by said brunette.

Harry winced. "This is why I don't date girls."

"What?" demanded Hermione as she rounded on him.

"Nothing!" Harry said quickly, stuffing as much food in his mouth as possible so that she wouldn't demand more answers.

Hermione glared at him before returning to her meal. "Men," she muttered quietly. After that all was returned to normal in the Hogwarts dinning room. That is, until Bakura returned with a chainsaw that he'd conveniently found lying around the Entrance Hall, but that's a whole other story.
