Some more Ryou stuffz~!

Just a bit of this-trilogy-Trivia for you!: as we learned in the previous fanfic in this trilogy, Ryou is into Skylanders. He has all 32 Skylanders from the first game, but doesn't own the second game (or the third). So far he has only bought one Skylander from the second game: Chill, a water Skylander I wish I had.

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, YGOTAS, Hetalia, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Skylanders: Giants, Skylanders: Swap Force, 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~!

Ryou was exhausted. It had been a long day for all of them, but to him it seemed like the day had been even longer. And it was only midday!

He thought back on everything that had happened that day, as well as what had happened a week ago. He cringed again when he remembered that part. The part where he found out that...

He didn't like thinking about it.

"Too much to deal with for one day," he murmured as he sat down in his bed. "At least I avoided explaining that whole deathshipping thing..."

He looked around his room. His eyes fell on his shelf of Skylanders figurines. In the past week, he had bought one from the second game, Skylanders Giants. He had yet to buy the game itself, because he didn't have the money for it and his father hadn't sent him money yet that month.

Earlier that day, after breakfast, he had planed to play his game after Bakura and Marik had finished watching Hetalia in the living room. But then, all of this had happened.

Wait a moment...! There was no one in the living room, the thieves were in their own rooms, Melvin was next door...

"I'm playing Skylanders."

With a smile, Ryou got out of bed and moved over to his Skylanders shelf. He picked up the basket on the floor underneath the shelf and put every single Skylander (except for the one from the second game) and the Portal of Power in it. Then he carried the basket to the living room.

He turned on the TV and the Wii and the Portal, set everything up, and started playing.

As he was playing, he looked at his cards. The Skylander's stat cards, that is. He looked at the stats and suddenly thought of Duel Monsters. Then of dueling in general. Then of other animes. Then of character profiles... Then of...

Ryou smiled wide.

Ryou paused the game, went to his room and got a few pieces of paper and a pencil, and sat back down with them.

During cut-scenes, while reading a story scroll, during intros to challenges, or while viewing the chapter stats, he wrote stuff down on paper.

When he was done, there was a big grin on his face.

"Two days," he said aloud to himself. He put the piece of paper aside and continued playing.

~Hours Later...~

Marik exited his room and walked out of the hallway. He was going to start making dinner.

He glanced to his left. Ryou was sleeping on the floor and the TV and Wii were on.

Marik walked on.

When he entered the kitchen, he suddenly froze and did a double take.

He whipped around and looked at Ryou again.

Yep. The British hikari was asleep. He was sitting on the floor, leaning against the couch, head on the couch cushion, legs crisscrossed. The Wii was on and the Skylanders game was on the screen, not paused. Dino Rang was in the Ruins, next to Cali. The Portal of Power was on. The Wii remote and nun-chuck were in his hands. Skylanders were scattered on floor around him.

Marik shook his head and walked over to Ryou.

He didn't know how long Ryou had been asleep, but it had probably been several hours. He must have been exhausted to have fallen asleep playing one of his favorite games.

Marik carefully took the controllers out of Ryou's hands and paused the game. Ryou slept on.

"Hm...should probably move him..."

Marik picked Ryou up with the intention of carrying the British hikari back to his own room. But then...

"Uurgh!" Marik groaned. "No. He's heavy. There's a reason why I'm not the one giving Bakura piggy back rides!" So instead of taking the hikari back to his room, Marik simply set Ryou down on the couch.

Ryou slept on.

"Damn," Marik said as he looked down on Ryou. "Why the frig is he so cute? It's friggin weird." He smirked. "But have more sexy than he has cute. So I'm still the awesomer hikari."

Then, Marik thought of a totally diabolically brilliant idea for how to mess with Ryou.

He ran to his room and grabbed the ropes that Melvin had used to tie up Ryou earlier. He brought them back to the living room.

He draped them over Ryou's body in certain places to make it look like he had been tied up in them. He took two of the pillows and leaned them against the couch on the floor where Ryou had been sitting, making a ramp between the floor and the couch.

Then he started moving the Skylanders.

He put some of them on the head of the couch and moved a few ends of the rope in front of them, making it look like the Skylanders had pulled the rope up there. He put some on the floor where Ryou had been sitting and some on the pillows, as if they were walking up the pillows. He put other Skylanders around Ryou's body, next to the rope lengths. He tucked some of the ends under Ryou's body.

Then he took the Wii remote and nun-chuck and positioned them carefully near the Portal of Power. He carefully positioned a particular Skylander on top of the Wii remote so that it looked like the Skylander was pressing the pause button. He put another Skylander next to the nun-chuck.

By then, the Portal of Power had turned off. Marik turned it back on and rotated it so the power button was facing Ryou. He positioned a Skylander next to the power button to make it look like that Skylander had pressed the button to turn it on.

Finally, he put the remaining three Skylanders on Ryou's body. One on his forehead. One on his chest, facing him almost as if looking up at him. One on the palm of his hand.

Marin stepped back and examined his work. He had a satisfied grin on his face.

It looked like the Skylanders had come to life, paused the game for Ryou, and then lifted him onto the couch with the ropes.

Ryou would be certain to freak out when he woke up.

His work finished, Marik turned away to go back to the hallway. But something caught his eye. There were two pieces of paper on the floor a few feet away from the Portal of Power.

Stepping around the Skylanders, instead of risking messing them up by stepping over them, Marik walked over to the papers and picked them up.

Marik skimmed over what was written on them. As he read, his eyes and his grin widened. "Oh yes," he said. "I am definitely on board with this."

He put the papers back where they were. Then he went to Ryou's room, took the Skylanders Giants Skylander off the shelf, and ran back to the living room with it. He placed it on top of the papers, halfway down the page and facing towards the top so it looked like it was reading.

Then Marik went back to his room, took out another length of rope, and went to Ryou's room with it. He tied one end of it to a metal container on the shelf and let the other end hang to the floor, just barely touching the carpet.

When Marik left Ryou's room, he left the door ajar the exact same amount it had been open before. The door was open just enough for a Skylander to walk out of the room.

Marik grinned deviously.

Just for good measure, Marik went to get his camera and took a picture of the whole thing of Ryou and the Skylanders.

Marik looked at the picture he had just taken and frowned. "Hm... Well it's not blackmail-worthy, but it is a start."

Marik put the camera back in his room. He went to check on Ryou one final time. He saw that the Portal of Power had turned off again, so Marik turned it on again.

He took one final look at his handiwork, then with a deviously satisfied look on his face he walked to the kitchen to start making dinner.

Lolz Merik y u so evel~?! XD

Oh and don't think that just because nothing particularly plot-twisty or exciting or crazy or sexy is going on, this story is winding down and coming to an end.

It is NOT. Not by a long shot.

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
