Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Cold and Lonely ❯ 7 ( Chapter 8 )

LD: Well, hello again. It's been awhile, and I thought that I should get the next chapter out.....
Yugi: You know you're only doing it cause it's 95 degrees out and you can't fall asleep, Yu Yu Hakusho (spelling is wrong! Damn!) is over and InuYasha isn't on for another few hours.
LD: Why do you tell them ALL my secrets?! First Ryou about Crinos, now you about my whole reason for this! If you weren't hideously kawaii, I'd have to say I hate you.
Yugi: That's so sweet.
LD: Where is everyone anyway?
Yugi: Oh, your muses are throwing a pool party, and all the others went.
LD: But you're here....why?
Yugi: Yes, well, I'm going to laugh at you while you try to type on your dad's laptop. You really suck at it.
LD: I know. ::sigh:: I hate typing on this thing. Anyway, I don't own Yu-Gi- Oh, etcetera, and this will be a very short chapter. Hey, am I invited to the party?
Yugi: Yeah, but you need to wrte this chapter...hey, you missed the 'i' in write.
LD: Oops.....too...hot...stupid....laptop.....

Chapter Seven or so: Hatching the Evil Plot o' Doom

"Hey, Bakura....do you have a cell phone? 'Cause there's one ringing in your pocket and it's doing the funeral march...."

"Fuck....yeah, it's mine....CRAP! My burger! Hello?"
Bakura picked up his cheeseburger, dropped on it's journey to his mouth, as he tried to grip his phone with greasy fingers. Yugi looked on in amusement as he sipped cheerfully at a chocolate milkshake.
"Oh, hey Marik! Uh, sure, I could give you a lift. Six sound good? Okay, see you then..." Bakura shoved the burger in his mouth as he turned the phone off and dumped it back into his pocket. Yugi looked at him, one eyebrow raised questioningly.
Once his mouth was empty, his companion explained, "Marik usually walks home from his singing classes, yes, singing, I'll have him tell you about it later, so don't ask, but he told Isis I'd give him a ride home, and he was calling to see if I could. And would."
"Okay, sounds good...So, where we heading next?"
"Uh..Black Magi, Rosethorn, Curl Up And Dye, then the petstore."
"Cool...hey, could we hit International?"
"What? The music place? You play?"
"Yeah, sometimes.."
"What do you play?"
"A bit of everything."
"You're kidding! That's amazing...you need to teach me to play something.... uh, okay, so International is between Black Magi and...Yugi? Are you okay?"
With no response forthcoming, Bakura followed Yugi's gaze over his shoulder, and didn't even try to stifle his growl. 'Lovely...it's the idiot.'
Said idiot, namely one ex-Pharoh whom went by the name Yami, sat at a table less than ten feet away. To make it even worse, his little hoard surrounded him. Bakura gave a dismissive snort and turned back...to meet little Yugi's sad eyes.
The gears in Bakura's head clicked.
Bakura leaned forward and spoke, his voice soft, "It's them, isn't it? They're the reason you were out last night."
Yugi lowered his eyes and slumped down on his chair. "Yeah..I should be so selfish though, because I really can't blame them. Yami is cooler, and a better duelist, and a better, well, everything!" At this point the smaller boy seemed to be melting into the fake wood of the table and his slightly muffled voice became forlorn, "I'm just little, kiddie Yugi who gets in everyone's way."
Bakura gaped for a moment at that logic, then reached out and caught Yugi's chin, lifting his face until their eyes met. In his grimmest voice, Bakura started speaking. "That is the biggest pile of CRAP I have ever heard. If the bastards are ignoring you..... well, actually, there isn't much I can say. I've always held to the fact that they're a bunch of morons, and this is just further proof. But the High Grand Shitface himself is ignoring you too?"
"Yes. I doubt he even realizes I've been gone."
"Hmmm...I'd offer to rip out his intestines and feed them to him, but I somehow doubt you'd take me up on that offer."
"Ummm, yeah."
"In that case the best I can do is give them heart attacks....Do you want to move in with me for a while? Until they quit being stupid?"
Yugi, though confused by the whole Bakura train of thought, still caught that last comment and smiled brilliantly. "I'd love to!"
"Would your Grandpa mind? Because of the gameshop..." Bakura asked, suddenly realizing the extra factors, but Yugi was still smiling.
"Don't worry, Grandpa's in the Amazon Jungle, and he said to keep the actual shop closed until he gets back, in.....well, about a year." Seeing Bakura's startled look, and correctly guessing the cause, continued, "Don't worry, we actually have several hundred thousand dollars set aside for these situations."
Bakura nodded and then turned to face the direction of his potential future victims. 'Okay, physical harm is out of the question, but messing with their minds is fine with me...oooohhhhhh!......' A wicked smile slowly formed on his face as he turned to Yugi, who was by now watching him warily.
"Yugi. I know we've been only hanging out since last night, but I'd like to know...." At this Bakura framed Yugi's face with his hands,"Are you comfortable enough with people, especially me, to play a VERY involved practical joke? And do you trust me to pull it off?"
Yugi met Bakura's eyes steadily and answered without pause, "Yes."
The evil grin crept back onto the white-haired Egyptian's pale face, "Well, then I've got the mother of all nasty ideas, and I think it's enough to permanently paralyze Ye Olde Idiot....This is gonna be fun."
Yugi, upon hearing this plan, could not begin to disagree.

LD: Sorry about that....I knew what I wanted to happen, but I couldn't seem to write it correctly.....and the laptop didn't help me much.
Yugi: Hurry up and finish typing! Kasukira and Marik just brought out the keg!
LD: Okay, Okay! Ummm, please, please review, and I'll try to write the next chapter! I only have vague ideas what I want to happen, and that's not much to go on....
Yugi: Hurry!
LD: Okay, bye, and till next time:....Nevermind. I forgot. Wait for me, Yugi!
