The thief screamed as Marik and the other kids stared in disbelief. After mere seconds, the thief fell to the ground unconscious. Tristan stared at the Rod in astonishment as he brought it closer to his face.

"I don't believe it!" Marik screamed, "how could someone like you unlock the powers of the Millennium Rod!?"

Everyone stared as Bakura groaned as stood up. He rubbed his eyes, and his features seemed to be rather soft.

"W-what's going on!?" he asked, "why am I here!? I don't even have health!"

"Can I have my sister's necklace back?" Marik asked.

Bakura screeched as he pulled the necklace out of his pocket. He almost passed out when he pulled out the Eye.

"What was my Yami up to this time!?"

"Don't worry, he's gone now," Tristan assured, "I sent him to the Shadow Realm, which I just may do to Marik if he doesn't make sure those items get back to Ishizu and Pegasus."

"Uh, no need!" Marik said nervously, presenting to items to Tristan, "here, they're all yours!"

Tristan grabbed the two items and began to walk away.

"Hey, what about my Rod!?" Marik yelled demandingly.

"Oh yeah," Tristan said, "Yugi might want to hold onto it."

Allister restrained Marik as he attempted to charge at Tristan. Tristan stared in even more amazement.

"I have my own mindslave now too? Maybe I'll hold onto these items for just a little while longer."

Everybody jumped and ran out of the room when the bell rang. Allister continued to restrain Marik as he screamed at Tristan, who was already walking out the door.

*AP Biology*

Kaiba sighed in relief when he entered the room, and leaned back in his seat. He looked around the room and noticed no other than Rebecca Hawkins seating at the front desk.

"Rebecca?" he asked, "are you a student here now?"

She turned in her seat and smirked at him, "no, I'm the teacher."

"What, an eight year old girl's going to teach me everything I already know!? That's an outrage!"

"Hmph, if you already know everything, why do you bother to come here?" she asked.

"To set an example," Kaiba groaned, rolling his eyes, "if Mokuba saw me not going to school, he'd drop out in a heartbeat."

Kaiba frowned and cursed under his breath when he saw Tea enter the room.

"Great," he commented sarcastically, "Gardner's here. Now my day is complete!"

"Just shut up!" Tea yelled, "I don't need your crap. My last teacher just threw a beer bottle at me!"

"Too bad he missed," Kaiba muttered, loudly enough for Tea to hear.

"Uh, okay then," Rebecca said a bit nervously, "I'm going to go hide all my dissecting tools."

"Don't bother," Tea spat, "I could just use a pencil."

Kaiba growled, but made not effort to snap back. Instead he opened up his book and ignored her completely. Rebecca began writing on the board as the tardy bell rang and everyone settled down.

"Okay class, we will finally get to dissect today. Don't worry, it'll be flowers, not frogs or squids or anything else we can find in the student parking lot."

"Not flowers!" a hippie chick cried, "they're living things too you know!"

Kaiba shook his head in disbelief as Rebecca and everyone else stared at her.

*Home Ec Level 2*

Joey fussed at Mrs. Gina as she attempted to shove him out of the room.

"No!" she yelled, "you can't be here! Not after what happened this morning!"

"But ya gotta let me in!" he pleaded, "if I don't improve my grade in here, my GPA will fall and I'll have to repeat the tenth grade!"

"Fine!" Mrs. Gina said, finally giving in, "but you'll be partnered up with Bakura, and you cannot do any of the cooking!"

Joey groaned as he took a seat next to Bakura, who looked more nervous than usual.

"Hey, what's da matter wit' you?" Joey asked him.

"I-I'd rather not, talk about it," he stuttered. Joey shrugged and turned his attention to the teacher.

"Today we will dwell into the arts of deep-fat cooking, or, deep-frying. Today you will recreate the KFC exta-crispy recipe, with a side of French fries. Now, to your stations!"

Bakura cheered as Joey miserably put on an apron and filled the sinks with hot water.

"I love deep frying foods!" Bakura squealed, "at home my mum lets me prepare fish sticks, chips, and deep-fried Twinkies."

Joey's eyes grew as he seemed to be pulling out of his depression.

"Deep fried…Twinkies?"

"That's right," Bakura said, "I'll deep-fry just about anything! A healthy heart is so overrated!"

"Hey Mrs. Gina!" Joey yelled, "after we're done wit' dis, can Bakura deep-fry a Big Mac!?"

"WHAT!?" everyone exclaimed.

"Joey, are you crazy!?" Bakura yelled, "do you know how many calories a Big Mac has already? If you ate it deep-fried it would kill you!"

"I don't care," Joey said, "I got nothing else to live for."

"Fine," Mrs. Gina said, "but you have to buy one yourself. And if you live, I'll contact the Guinness book of World Records."

"Sweet!" Joey cheered as Bakura buried his face in his hands.

*CPS Headquarters*

Duke pulled up the vehicle into the parking lot behind the building.

"Finally," he said as they put on their disguises, "it's time I get that runt back."

"What are we supposed to do with Seto Jr. and Joanna?" Miho asked.

"I guess bring them in," Duke grunted.

They all got out wearing their disguises. Duke had on a long, blonde wig with a beard and sunglasses. He was also in a custodial uniform. Miho and Serenity wore green afro wigs in nurse uniforms.

"Couldn't you have found different wigs for us?" Serenity asked.

"Sorry, it was all I had from my Halloween party," Duke apologized, "Now, when you go in, look for my doll. I'll check the records and make sure they didn't give her away already."

The three walked in, with the girls carrying their dolls and with Duke carrying a mop.

*Back in AP Biology*

In desperation not to get paired with each other, Kaiba and Tea picked the first person they bumped into: Tea with a jock, and Kaiba with the hippie girl. Kaiba picked a lab area three rows down from Tea. Rebecca came around the room leaving each group with flowers.

"Can you do the dissecting?" the hippie asked, "I don't have it in me to cut up things."

"Then why the hell are you in this class?" Kaiba asked as he put on his goggles. The girl didn't answer.

"Brian, can you get the supplies please?" Tea asked her partner.

"Sorry," he apologized as he read a football magazine, "can't hear you."

Tea groaned, and walked to the back past Kaiba to get to the tools. Kaiba glared at her as she bent over and reached into the box.

"Careful Gardner, don't fall in," he teased.

Tea turned around and gave him the evil eye. Kaiba smirked as she walked back to her lab area.

After cutting up the flower, Kaiba took off his goggles to rub his eyes. Rebecca saw this and frowned.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Rebecca yelled at him.

"Uh, rubbing my eyes," he spat. Rebecca put her hand on her hip.

"You should never do that while dissecting," she lectured, "do you know what could've happened if a seed had been on that finger?"

"A flower would grow on my eye?" Kaiba responded sarcastically, causing everyone to giggle.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Rebecca yelled, "now don't let me catch you doing it again!"

Kaiba muttered a curse word as she began to walk away. She quickly turned around and glared at him.

"Alright mister, that's a detention! Be here after school or else!"

"Or else what? You'll make me play Barbies with you?"

"GET UP HERE NOW!"

Kaiba growled and slammed his fist onto the table. He pushed his supplies aside and walked to the front of the class. Rebecca frowned and crossed her arms. She pulled out a chair and pointed to it. Kaiba grunted and sat down. Ten seconds later, Rebecca pulled out some rope and tied him up to the chair.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Kaiba screamed.

"Teaching you some manners, the toddler way," she replied with a grin.

Kaiba raised and eyebrow as Rebecca opened up her desk drawer. She pulled out a Fairy-Princess tea set. Everyone laughed as she placed it on the table in front of him.

"Now then," she said as she sat across from him, "pour me some tea."

Everyone snickered as he growled, "I can't, you tied up my arms."

"Use your teeth then," she ordered.

"You can't be serious!" he screamed. Rebecca gave him a stern look.

"No damn way!" he grunted. Rebecca grabbed a book and hit him on the head.

"I can do this all day!" she yelled, holding up the book.

*Back in the CPS Headquarters*

Duke snuck into one of the back rooms containing various file cabinets. He looked around searching for one labeled with the letter 'D'. He opened it and began looking through the files, until he came across one titled with his name.

"Yes!" he cheered silently, opening it up to read it, "looks like the brat's still here. Turned down by fifty families…wow."

He put the file back and walked out of the office. He froze when he saw a group of officers surrounding him. Standing with the cops were Serenity and Miho.

"Please, don't arrest me!" Duke cried as he got down on his knees, "I just wanted my kid back! My teacher will kill me if I don't bring her back!"

"What—your teacher plays a role in the child's life?" one of the cops asked. Duke nodded.

"She must be the mother. Alright, you can have your baby back. Come on men, let's arrest that pedophile!"

The cops ran out of the building as a nurse came out with Duke's doll.

"Here you go mister," the nurse said as she handed the doll over, "she was very annoying. If you neglect her again, we won't just take her: we'll have to kill her."

Duke gently grabbed the doll and rocked her in his arms. The nurse smiled and walked away as Miho and Serenity stared in disbelief.

"They're going to arrest Ms. Lowe?" Serenity asked, "how awful!"

"Hey, after giving us these things, she deserves it," Duke grumbled.

"Guess that means I don't have to take care of Joanna anymore," Serenity said as she looked at her doll.

"Aww, Seto Jr. was really starting to grow on me!" Miho pouted.

Miho's doll started to cry again. She pulled out a bottle and fed him.

"Can we go back to school now?" Serenity pleaded, "I've had enough action for one day!"

"Fine," Duke growled, "the sooner I take Amber back the better!"

"Amber?" Serenity and Miho asked. They looked at Duke's doll and observed her orange hair and yellow eyes.

"Hey, I figured I should have a name to call her by when I go to therapy. My counselor and I will have A LOT to talk about."

A/N: Well, I figured it was time the baby-doll storyline came to an end. It's time that Duke, Serenity, and Miho get involved in other things, don't you agree? Kaiba is reacting to his lab teacher in the same way my friend did during our dissection project. Anyway, Happy New Year everybody!
