Black Cats Are Bad Luck

Chapter Four: My Yami, Your Kitten, and Rabbits

Yami, in all his three thousand years of existence had never seen anyone look so shocked, angered, depressed, enraged, embarrassed, saddened and flustered all at the same time. Anzu was the first. And right now, she had all those emotions and more on her face as she stared disbelievingly down at her `pet' and Yugi.

Yugi was looking around the room, not sure what to expect next from his childhood friend. At the moment, she looked as though she was debating whether to burst into tears or strangle someone. Neither one of those was better than the other. He would hate to see his best friend crying and also really wouldn't want to be on the receiving on of her angry.

Yami, on the other hand, was very amused by the brunette's many expressions. He also thought it was really cute that her cheeks glowed pink with embarrassment and frustration. Laying down on the carpet of the living room, he cocked his head to the side, thinking about the conversation he had just witnessed between Yugi and Anzu.

Yugi's eyes grew wide and he came forward. "Yami?" he asked, worry in his voice.

Anzu stared at her best friend, an eyebrow raised as she took a step forward. "How did you know that's what I named it? I mean, I told you about my new kitten at school, but I had never told you his name."

Yugi looked unsurely from the black kitten to the brunette. Finally, he picked Yami up and looked him over. There was no doubt in his mind. This was his dark half. ...And he had been living in Anzu's house for the past few days.

`That's dirty, Yami,' he thought to himself. Faintly, he was pretty sure he could hear a chuckle from the other end of the mental link.

"Erm...Anzu?"

"Yeah?" She asked, coming over and petting the kitten behind its ears. Yami purred loudly.

Yugi frowned. "This...this is Yami."

Anzu laughed. "Yeah, that's his name. Tell me, how did you guess? Is it because of his dark fur?" She wondered.

"No, no...It's...erm...because he is Yami." When seeing the blank expression on her face, he held up the Sennen Puzzle. "I never told you, but...the other day Yami and I tried this spell to get him his own body..."

"That's great! Did it work?"

"Let me finish," Yugi pleaded, clutching the chain of the Puzzle. Immediately, Anzu closed her mouth and rolled her eyes. "It did work. Yami did get a body...but...just not the kind he had hoped for." When seeing her questioning gaze, he sighed. "He was turned into a kitten. This kitten." He held Yami up.

Anzu's eyes went unbelievably wide. Taking a step backwards, she opened her mouth to say something. Nothing came out and she just looked from Yugi to the kitten, and then back to Yugi. Her mouth opened and closed a few more times. "I-I...I don't...u-understand..."

"This is my Yami," the short boy repeated.

The brunette was silent as she went through the information in her mind. Finally, her eyes narrowed. "That PERVERT!" she yelled. She glared at Yami. "And you slept in my bed! And-and I told you my deepest secret! Oh, Jesus, I told you that I liked you and I didn't even know that it was you! This is so wrong! I've been living with an attractive spirit in my house thinking he was just a helpless kitten!" she ranted on, anger building.

Yami secured himself in Yugi's arms, his claws digging slightly into the boy's skin to make sure Anzu couldn't come and take him or something like that.

"Ouch!" Yugi yelped.

`Sorry, aibou. I just don't want her killing me. And judging by how angry she looks, I think she might try.'

"I-I just can't believe that you didn't tell me sooner, Yugi!"

The tri haired teenager apologized. "I didn't know." He shot a glare at Yami. "Someone didn't contact me through our mind link! Even though he probably knew how worried I was!" He was silent for a few moments, just gazing at Yami. "Don't you try to tell me that you're sorry!" he scolded after a few moments.

Yami hissed and scampered behind the couch. `You see why I didn't want to speak to you?! You're mean when you're angry.'

Yugi didn't listen. Instead, he apologized to Anzu again. "If I would have known, I would have told you." He heard his Dark snort through their link. "I am not a goody-goody, Yami. I just don't think Anzu deserved to be, well, misled like this."

Anzu sat down on the couch and looked sadly in front of her. "I just can't believe what I told you. I feel so embarrassed." She blushed, lowering her head shamefully.

Yami came out from his hiding spot and leapt up onto the couch. He had to admit that he felt pretty bad for not contacting Yugi. It would have spared Yugi the worry and Anzu the mortification.

`Tell her I'm sorry,' he said through the link. The short boy nodded and told her. `And tell her that I didn't mean to make her feel humiliated and mad.' Yugi did so. And tell her that I care about her.' Yugi did as told, smiling slightly at the darkening blushing on the brunette's face. `But whatever you do, don't tell her that I read her diary...' Yugi told her anyways.

"He did what?!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Two hours later, Yami was squashed between Yugi and the arm of the Bakura's brown leather couch. Pouting, he glared the glass coffee table placed in front of the sofa and holding some soft drinks.

Ryou had gone to retrieve his dark half who had gone upstairs with Malik earlier that morning. "They've been unusually quiet," he had said before venturing up the stairs.

Anzu, much to both Yugi's and Yami's disappointment, had opted to stay at home. She claimed to have far too much schoolwork to do and that she had to sort everything out.

"How many times have I told you that you're not allowed to build explosives in my house, Bakura? How many times?!" Ryou yelled from the top of the staircase. There was a mumbled reply. "Don't you talk to me like that! Remember, you got this body from me and you're living under my roof. So whether you like it or not, you're going to half to follow my rules!"

Bakura scoffed and barreled down the stairs. An angry Ryou came right behind him followed by a smirking Malik shortly afterward. "Now, I want you to throw those things out!"

"Make me, weakling!" Bakura replied, sticking his tongue out.

"Oh that's real mature," the white haired teen snapped, pushing the Spirit onto the couch.

Bakura grinned when he spotted Yami at the other end of the couch. "What's this?" he asked innocently, picking the kitten up by the neck. Yami hissed. "My, my if it isn't the almighty Pharaoh!" He grinned. "Forgive me if I don't bow your highness."

Yami hissed again, trying to bite the Tomb Robber's hand.

Bakura burst out laughing, his eyes shining with delight. "Oh, can't quite reach; can you King of Fluffballs?"

The black kitten pouted. `Called that one,' he thought bitterly. Once released, he pounced back onto Yugi's lap.

Ryou sighed loudly. "Bakura, stop being such an asshole. Now," he sat himself down in the rocking chair opposite of the couch. "We, well, Yugi and Yami actually, need your help with something."

"Oh really?" Bakura asked, grinning.

"Yes, now stop acting like an idiot." Ryou took a sip of his Pepsi from the table and leaned back in the chair. "We need you to tell us exactly what happened after you recited the spell to get your own body. I didn't see you until almost two weeks after that so I don't know what had happened."

The white haired Spirit clasped his hands together, rocking back and forth on his bum. His brown eyes scanned the room for a moment, trying to delay giving an answer for as long as possible.

"Bakura..." his former host prompted.

"Oh hell," The Tomb Robber pointed the blonde Egyptian leaning against the wall. "I was staying at Malik's apartment for that week and a half."

Yugi raised an eyebrow. "Why would you stay there?"

Bakura growled. "I'm getting to that, midget." He put his arms behind his head and a light blush crept into his cheeks. "I didn't want anyone, especially Ryou since I always called him week, to see me as what I was until later on."

Ryou was now very interested as he leaned forward eagerly to hear the rest of the story. "What were you?" he asked when nothing else came. The Spirit was silent for a few more minutes. "Oh, come on, what were you? It can't be that bad! Tell us!"

"RABBIT!" Bakura suddenly shouted; his face pink. Everyone else in the room, save Malik, all looked perplexed by the sudden outburst. "I was...a little...white... rabbit..." he said slowly, not believing that he was actually saying this out loud.

Yami, in his mind, started howling with laughter. Yugi scolded him for being rude. `You're not much better off. You're a kitten.'

`Shut up, Yugi.'

Ryou was giggling quietly to himself, a hand placed over his mouth to stifle the noise. Bakura was shooting death glares at everyone in the room, including Malik who had decided to join in on the laughter. "Yeah, well at least I wasn't a kitten," he snorted, indicating Yami who started hissing again. Once the laughter died down, he sat brooding. "The spell takes up to two weeks to complete, so I changed from a small rabbit to what I am now by the end of two weeks. Yami will be a cat for a while still."

"Grand," Yugi whispered sarcastically.

"Yeah, good luck," Bakura grinned. "I'd hate to take care of that bastard."

Yami glared at the other Spirit then turned back to Yugi. `Can I stay at Anzu's again?'
