So what if "millennium" actually has 2 N's? I don't care. I'm too used to writing it with 1 n. I'm not going to change in the middle of a fanfic. Maybe in future fanfics, I'll start spelling it the right way.

Oh, also...

Breaking news! 60 REVIEWS! OVER 1400 VIEWS! Awesome! Thanks everyone! Reviews totally make it worth the 5-day wait to come back online. And faves and follows totally cheer me up when I get email notifications.
Sometimes, I feel like the PewDiePie of fanfiction, in the relationship I have with you guys and how appreciative I am of you all and your support. (not in terms of popularity, cuz i still have a LONG way to go to even come CLOSE to his level of reputation and popularity)

So this chapter is a bit more edited than I can usually manage, because I actually edited it on my iPod earlier today, which I rarely get the chance to do nowadays because of the whole school plan thing. But anyway, I got to edit it a little bit more than I usually do. That's good.

Thiefshipping in this chapter. And by thiefshipping, I mean Marik and Bakura have a lengthy argument. lolz shud b fun.

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, YGOTAS, Hetalia, the fanfiction site, Bakura's hair, the British language, Slenderman (the game or the abridged version), or any of the character/trademarks in those.

R&R

ENJOY~!

Melvin suddenly let Ryou go and turned to them. Unprepared for this, Ryou hadn't bothered to support himself with his legs, because Melvin's arm was keeping him up the entire time. So he fell to the floor and almost hit his head against the wall. He left his cute mode and his face and hair returned to normal.

The thieves only took a second to examine the scene and evaluate the situation, then sprang into action.

Marik pushed Melvin away from Ryou and stood protectively in front of the other hikari. Once Melvin was a good distance away, Bakura activated the Millenium Ring and yellow squiggly lines covered Melvin's body, holding him in place and keeping him from moving.

"I should have known this wouldn't last," Bakura said. "I should have realized that you would be more trouble for us than it first seemed like you would be. We should have just kicked both of you out."

"Oh now you change your mind?!" Marik said in annoyance. "I told you something like this would happen!"

"Marik, now is not the time to argue about that."

"How did you get the Ring?!" Melvin asked.

"I noticed that it was right under the door," Bakura replied with a snarl. "Slid right under. Easy. What happened in here? What were you doing?!"

By this point, Ryou had recovered from his fall and was standing up. "He tried to kill me!"

"Why?" Marik asked.

"I don't bloody know! He's your psychopathic yami!"

"So?" Marik asked. He took one step away from Ryou and picked up the Millenium Rod.

"You are bonded to him," Bakura said. "And he is you. Shouldn't you know?"

"Why should I?" Marik asked. "Just because we're mentally and spiritually connected doesn't mean that I know everything about him or everything he's thinking."

"Well you asked," Bakura countered. "Couldn't you just find out yourself?"

"Maybe you can find out yourself from Ryou!" Marik shouted as he took a few steps towards Bakura. "Why didn't you do that? Come to think of it, why didn't he just ask you for help?"

"Who bloody knows?" Bakura said, carelessly and accidentally freeing Melvin from the Ring's hold on him. "He doesn't think straight in moments of panic. But that's not the point."

"What is the point? That I should automatically know what's going on in Melvin's head?"

"I didn't say that. But you should know some of what's going on. Since he's apparently going to be living with us, you should have been keeping an eye on him through your mind link. In fact, had you been paying attention, perhaps this wouldn't even have happened!"

"WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!" Marik shouted. He held up a finger, put a hand on his hip, and turned to Bakura. "Hold up a second! You're saying that this is my fault?!"

"No," Bakura replied as he turned to Marik. "I'm saying that you should keep a better watch on your yami."

"Why should I? I don't have to!"

"Actually, you do. You're pretty much obligated to because you're his hikari."

"And why is that?!"

"Just because! And also because he's your yami and you should know how to deal with him. And especially because—"

"No no no!" Marik interrupted, taking a few steps closer to Bakura. "Just because he's part of me doesn't mean I have to watch him at all times! And how am I even supposed to do anything about him, anyway? I don't really have any control over him! You were there with me in Battle City! You saw how powerless I was to do a frigging thing against him."

"I KNOW!" Bakura shouted. "But control doesn't matter. Just because you can't control him doesn't mean that you can't take responsibility for him."

"WHAT! What's the point if I can't do anything about anything he does!"

"Being powerless or not is irrelevant," Bakura interrupted. "I mean, Ryou has absolutely zero power over me EVER, and yet he still used to take the blame—I mean the responsibility—for what I did. Sure, it destroyed his reputation, but he still managed it. And there's no reason why you can't do the same."

Marik's jaw dropped. "That's totally unfair! I shouldn't have to! It's not my fault he's here or that he did whatever the frig he did to your hikari!"

"I never said—"

"Why are you trying to blame me—yet again!—for something I didn't do?!"

"Hold on a moment, Marik!" Bakura suddenly cried. "What do you mean by 'again'?"

"You're always blaming me for everything. In your eyes, if I'm involved at all, it's automatically my fault!"

"No! I don't 'blame you for everything'! When do I ever do that?"

"All the friggin time! And it's always when it's not actually my fault!"

"I do not blame you for things you didn't do! I don't always blame you for things, but when I do it is your fault!"

"Lies you tell!" Marik objected. "It's never my fault!"

"Now that's a lie!"

"Is not!"

"Is too! Whenever your evil plans go awry, it's always because of something you did, whether it's your poor planning or terrible execution or because you try to do things on your own when you need my help! So when I blame you, it is your fault! And you shouldn't be complaining about me falsely accusing you, when you always blame me for your mistakes."

"I do not do that!"

"You do. All the bloody time. Whenever you don't want to take the blame, you're like 'OMR Bakura this is all your friggin fault I hate you WAH!'."

"That is not what I say."

Bakura smirked. "Best bloody impression I've ever done of you."

"Worst impression of ANYTHING EVER! I don't say that!"

"Well you say stuff like that! Whenever something goes wrong, you either run to hide behind me or run to me to blame me! That's how you always are with me!"

"I am not! I do not blame you for random stuff and I certainly do not run to hide behind you! Although I may be the girliest one on this show, I am a man! I can take care of myself."

"Apparently not, because I am the one who always has to bail you out when things go awry! It gets bloody annoying after a few hundred times!"

"Oh come now, Kura! It doesn't happen that often! Only like once or twice! Or three times, but that's it!"

"I beg to differ. It happened about seven times in the past month!"

"What?! Seven?! I don't remember that many!"

"Well it happened! Don't try to deny it! That happens a lot. You really can barely handle yourself. Now I feel bad about having to yell at you for not being able to handle your literal other half."

At the mention of Melvin, the thieves automatically glanced at him.

But he wasn't there.

"WHERE THE [BLANK] HELL DID HE GO?!" they both cried. Bakura's blank is to be filled with "BLOODY" and Marik's blank is to be filled in with "FRIGGING".

They looked around the room, but Melvin was nowhere in sight.

"Ryou!" Bakura shouted, turning to his hikari, "where did he..."

But Ryou wasn't there, either.

The thieves' eyes widened.

"Oh no..." Bakura murmured.

"Where did they go?" Marik asked.

"I don't—" Bakura began.

"Oh wait I know!" Marik interrupted. "They're in Ryou's room again."

Bakura smiled. "You found that out through your mind link, right?"

"Of course! But who frigging cares! Let's just go already!"

Marik raced out of the room and down the hall.

Bakura followed close behind.

Lolz thiefshipping arguments. These arguments are probably the highlights of the fanfic, as far as thiefshipping is concerned.

OH NO! Not again! Time to go save Ryou from Melvin again!

Or...is it?

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
