2.Bad Bakura and the little bunny


"Would you finally stop worrying, and just go to school, Hikari?!" frowned Bakura irritated, as Ryou looked up at him with wide eyes.
"But I have a bad feeling about this. Why do you want to stay at home alone, all of a sudden? Don’t you want to go back in your Ring and take a little nap? You must be tired after last night, you didn’t get much sleep."
(He was out to steal something! Not more!)
"No, I'm not, and now go! If I don’t know it any batter, I would think you don’t trust me!" he said with mock hurt in his voice and a grin on his face.
This grin made Ryou even more reluctant about leaving the house. His Yami was plotting something, and the fact that he didn’t share his plan with Ryou like he normally would worried the little light to no end.

"Ryou! I told you, come home right after school and you will see. And now get lost, or I will tie you up like a package and sent you per mail! I know where you have your stamps." He treated teasingly, making Ryou smile a little.

Slowly and deep in thought the white-haired Hikari turned around and made his way to school, hoping that he will still have a house to come home to in the evening. On his way, he meets up with the other Hikaris, like always.
Malik was annoyed with his Dark; it seems he had a very… different way of making presents.
And Yugi was happy as always, especially since he had planned to give his pharaoh something today.
For a moment he forgot the kleptomaniac tomb robber who was all alone in his home, probably planning the destruction of the whole planet, for all he knew.

Until they had to ask about Bakura, of course. Maybe it would have been better if he didn’t make that comment about Malik and Marik? But the thought about 'removing a Yami with a broom' was just too funny.
Oh well, done is done…
And it wasn’t as if it was a secret for the other Hikaris, that he had a crush on his Yami. As well as he knew that the others had one as well.
On their own Yamis, of course…

School was decorated in pink and red, garlands and hearts wherever you look.
As soon as they where at the gates they saw Anzu storming their way. She had a very short skirt on, neon pink with a ribbon in the same color in her hair.
Her high heels where so high, she couldn’t even walk properly, and a little purse dangling in her hand.
Too much lipstick and makeup, also in the same neon color, made her look like a clown in they eyes of the most. Girls where giggling at her as she went by and boys made fun on how much she fooled herself when she was thinking she looked great and pretty.

But, blind as always, she thought they where talking about how great she was and how much they would like to date her. But there was only one boy she will go out today, she just had to wait for him to ask her.
(And we all know whom she is waiting for, and that she will have to wait forever. Right?)

She blocked the way before the three lights could even enter the school, and looked at them expectantly.
"And?"
"And what?" Malik asked, even through he had a good guess what, or rather who, she wanted.
"And where is my Yami? He should be here on such a day; I spent more than an hour to dress up for him and made my make up to look perfect. He has to be here to see me!"
She grabbed Yugi collar roughly and shook him a little to get him to talk, so Ryou spoke up suddenly, pointing wildly at the trees beside the school: "There! I think I saw him there, he was by the trees, I swear!"

"Yami!!!!!" squealing she staggered and stumbled towards the trees, waving with her hands and screeching for Yami in a very high pinched tone.
Immediately every bird around flew up and away in a blind panic, thinking the world is coming to an end.
The glass of the door suddenly broke, and Yugi looked at the pale boy: "But Yami's at home."

Ryou grinned for a moment like his Yami: "Well, but IT doesn’t know that!"
Malik sneered: "Right, and that way the clown will search all day for him. Just hope he doesn’t come around, or she will get him. It could scare him to dead."
Shrugging and laughing they went to their lookers, after they saw her stumble and land on her ass.

They where stopped again by a girl, but this time it was not a scary one like Anzu, with a big box of chocolate and several small ones.
She gave Ryou a small box of chocolate, who blushed a little and was about to say something, but the girl beat him at it: "Don’t worry; I don’t ask for a date or something, the bigger box is for someone special. I just give every boy I think is cute or sweet, one of the little boxes. Because I want to. Nothing more."
And with that she gave Yugi and Malik as well one of the little boxes before she skipped away with a smile.

At their lockers they found also some letters as well as chocolate. Ryou blushed heavily at the letters, Yugi shook his head, since he wasn’t very interested, and Malik was happy about the chocolate.
They wondered for a moment as they saw Anzu, but luckily she was soon gone.
On their table they found more sweets or letters, some of girls, but also some of boys.
At first they tried to read them all, but it wasn’t for long as they lost interest, and just shoved them in their table to take care of them later…

The thief took a deep breath as Ryou finally was safe on his way. He couldn’t understand why Ryou was that worried about leaving him alone.
'It isn't as if I'm going to burn the house down! I just want to make a nice dinner for us…'

He took a look through Ryous cookbooks, since he wasn’t sure what to make for the main course. He knows what kind of soup he's going to make, but the main course was still undecided. There where so many things in the book, which where looking delicious, it was hard to determine which one to pick.
Last night he was already out find the best, greatest and sweetest cake he could find. Because there is no way in hell he would ever bake a fucking cake. Not that he knows how to bake, but whatever.
And really, someone was 'kind' enough to let him have that big, two-storied cake with the white icing and the red marzipan-hearts on top, along with sugar-letters he couldn’t understand. But that cake looked right to him, so he didn’t care about some stupid letters and just took it with him to present it to his Hikari. It would make a great dessert.

Finally he found something that looked every delicious looking to fit his plans: Roasted rabbit with boiled potatoes and mixed salad.


He looked through the kitchen if he had everything he needed but some things he needed to 'buy'. Or how he likes to call it: Borrowing with no intention to return it!

After a short, annoying trip to the shop, he had almost everything he needed, and just two people made their way to the shadow realm.
Until now.
But it was their own fault, how dare they to demand money from him! Does he look like someone who would use money, even if he stole it first!
Maybe he promised Ryou not to do that anymore. So what? Like he cares about those idiots if they got in his way, he had more important things to do, there was no time to discuss about some potatoes.
He didn’t like it when cameras are watching him, and he had to laugh as he saw their faces after their valuable technology exploded for reasons unknown.

'Now just to find a rabbit to cook.'

After he got the other things home, he went out again, just to run into the damn pharaoh on the street.
Doesn't that stupid prick know how to stay out of his way?
"What are you doing there? I thought you just come out after sunset, to terrorize innocents?"
"That's none of your business, shorty! Shouldn’t you stick by your Light, listening to the ranting of that witch?"
Bakura smirked as Yami growled by mentioning Anzu.
"Don’t remind me. I swear, one of those days I will just strangle her!"
"Well, I wouldn’t stop you, but right now I have no time to chat with you, I have to find a bunny to cook."
"Try the pet shop. They have animals there." Said Yami, already walking away, since he also had to prepare something, but only after he checked on his light for a moment. Yugi was gone so fast in the morning, Yami hadn't time to tell him to come home right after school.

Bakura strolled through the streets, thinking about Yamis suggestion.
'Maybe that bastard is right, can't hurt to try…"

Once in the shop, just as he was looking around, the cheery voice of a salesgirl interrupted his thoughts, as she was talking about the cages and the food and how to care for an animal.
"I just want one damn rabbit!" he growled and ignored her, as he saw the cages.
"Hamster. Guinea pig. Cats. Dogs. Damn, where are that fucking bunnies?!"

Finally, after scaring away a few peoples who tried to help him, he found what he was looking for.
There where a lot of young rabbits running around in an open cage which was not covered at the top, so peoples could lean in and stroke them, before deciding for one.

There where white, brown, black and some even had spots.
They looked up at him, and suddenly they where afraid, since they panicked and huddled together in a corner or tried to run away from him.
"YOU!" he scowled and pointed on a certain one. For a moment the little animal looked at him as if it knew exactly with which one he was talking.
"Come here, you are coming with me."
The poor bunny looked with big, brown eyes up at him and was nervously twitching its little nose.
It has pure, white fur, and for a moment the wide eyes made him think about his Hikari, before he shook it off and growled again.
"I said, come here! So get your little ass over here, or I will have to catch you, and you surely don’t want me to do that!"
The rabbit didn’t react to the treat, or maybe it just knows what the Yami has planned for it…

But Bakura was not the patient one, so he leaned over to grab the animal, but it was fast.
Just before he could get it, it hopped away and hide with the others
"You little shit, come back to me! I need to cook you before he comes home, I don’t have the whole day!"
He got to the other side of the cage and tried again, just to have it running again. So he leaped over the edge and went after the frighten rabbit:
"Come back, bunny!"
After a little struggle he finally cornered it and caught it by its fluffy ears: "Now you will come with me, and if you even dare to run away, I will kill you!"

He ignored the fact that he will kill and bake it anyway, and climbed out of the cage, much to the relief of the other pets, who looked after the poor fellow bunny in the strong grip of this evil man.

By now a lot of peoples and workers surrounded him, protesting about his swearing and the rough treatment of an innocent, cute little rabbit who never did anything wrong in its short life.
Said bunny looked up at Bakura with pleading, brown eyes, its little paws shivering in the air, and the fur stood up.

Not long and Bakura had enough of all the peoples and tried to get through the crowd by shoving them aside.
The bunny, nervous by the many peoples around it and scared by Bakura, started to struggle and squeak.
"Shut up! And you, get lost! I have a bunny to cook!" he snapped at the poor salesgirl as she yelled at him that he wasn’t allowed to just go in to the rabbits and catch one.
Some of the little kids started to sob and cry as they heard that the poor bunny will die, and Bakura snapped at all the noise around him:
"Get the hell away from me, you fucking jerks, or I will kill all of you as well!"

And just to make his point clear, he sends a few of them to the shadows, as a little gift for his man-eater-bug, so it wouldn’t feel lonely at such a day.

After that the rest of the peoples made sure to leave him alone as he laughed at them. They didn’t even stop him as he walked out of the shop with the bunny dangling on its ears beside him like a shopping bag.

For a moment Bakura wondered why the heck Marik of all peoples would be there, as he noticed that crazy hair standing out of the crowed.
He wasn’t the inconspicuous one, especially since he was scaring all the animals.
But maybe he was just searching a big spider or a poisonous snake for his Hikari, or to scare Ishizu until she snaps and kicks him out of her house.
Bakura and Yami had even made a bet about how long it will take until Ishizu will kill him…

Bakura made his way home without loosing his struggling, frightened prey. It kicked with its little paws and made little sounds to get his attention, so he would maybe let it go, if it just acted cute enough.
'No way, little one. You are going to be baked and served with potatoes and sauce and salad!'

Back at home the thief sat the white animal in a pan and scowled at it: "Sit there! I have to search for the right spices! If I come back and you are gone, I will kill you! And don’t make me repeat myself!"
The rabbit just wiggled its nose and sat there, before it ignored him to clean its fur, sitting on its hind paws and acting all innocent and cute.
Taking that as answer that it will stay there, he scowled again at it, just to make sure: "That’s right, just stay there and it will be over fast.
Content the thief turned around to search for the spices and to make the stuffing ready for the rabbit.
As that was done, he sat the soup on the stove to let it cook slowly, before he turned around to prepare the bunny next. Everything was there. The stuffing, the potatoes, the salad, everything was done and ready to start at the main part.
But as he turned back to the table, the rabbit was gone!

"You fucking brat, come back here, I have to cook you before Ryou comes home from school! Do you think I have the whole day just for you? I need to stuff you and all! So come back, before I kill you!"
(And stuffing and baking the poor thing wouldn’t kill it?)

But of course, the rabbit didn’t hear at him, no matter how much the white haired tomb robber swore and treated it.
It was now where to see, even if he had told it to stay where it was!
But suddenly he saw from the corner of his eyes something white snaking out of the door and into the living room.
Bakura sprinted after it, but it was gone again.
"Damn it!" he looked around the room for any sign of white, but there was none.

Angry he shoved the couch away, looked behind the curtains and nearly knocked over the closet in hope to scare it into running away.
As he spotted it under the table, he drove after the small animal, just to have it run away again.
"AUA! Damn it, I swear, I strangle you if I get my hands on your sorry ass!" he yelled as he hit his head on the table and knocked it over. He starred at the mess for a moment, but shrugged it away as he heard tripping in the hall. He could always clean that later, he had to decorate it later anyway. But first he had to catch and kill that stupid, disobedient rabbit.

He run after it as it run before him, but were knocked down as his foot was suddenly caught in a cable. With a muffled 'Umpf' the heavy floor lamp landed on his back, and he was sure it would make a nice, colorful bruise over the whole length of his back.
For a moment he laid there and starred right into brown eyes, as the rabbit sat right before him, as if it was checking if he was all right.

Bakura blinked.
The bunny blinked back.
The bunny wriggled its nose and cleaned its ears.
Bakura growled.
'That’s all the fault of that furry thing!'
"You know I will kill you for that, right?"
It still ignored him and proceeded to lick its paws thoroughly, not caring that Bakura was laying right before it on the floor, heavy lamp still on his back.

But just as he leaped up to grip it with a feral roar, it turned around and skipped fearfully away. So Bakura meet the ground again flat on his face.
"You're so dead!"
At first he searched the bathroom, but didn’t see it there, so he went out just in time to see it enter his room.
"Get out of there, you little beast! That is my room, I never said you can go in there!"

Not that the scared animal listen to him anyway…
The room seems to be empty at the first glance, but the great tomb robber knew better then to believe that.
His main course is somewhere in the room, and there is no way in fucking hell hat it got away alive. Not after what it had done to him!
"I planned to bake meat for Ryou, and you are on the menu! Just give up and let me stuff you, no one will save you anyway! Just look at it that way: Ryou will be happy to eat you! You should be proud, you ungratefully beast, to make my Hikari happy!"

Bakura looked under his bed, and really, there was a little rabbit sitting there, shivering in fear and watching him intently. Probably hoping he would just go away, forget about it and just cook something else. Well, not with this Yami.
The Yami was just a few inch away from it now, as he got stuck under his bed, the space there was too small for him, and the white bunny sat there and was looking at him without blinking.

Again he had to think at his Hikari as it sat there with the soft, white fur; those innocent, trusting eyes and the cute little nose.
"You know," the Yami whispered, "if I had a hearth, I probably would feel bad for eating you."
But unfortunate for him, the rabbit saw his hand creeping closer, so it turned around and run to the window. Bakura brushed its tail, but it wasn’t enough to hold it.

After a while of wiggling and swearing he got out from under this trap and searched for his prey again.
He found it hiding behind the curtains, and Bakura simply tore them down, trapping it under the fabric.
"You see, you can't get away from the great thief king! I'm just too clever for your little mind. And now come out of there and go back in the kitchen, or I have to beat you up."

And really, the rabbit made his way from under the curtains, just like Bakura demanded.
But sadly, it then runs away again, much to Bakuras irritation. That little thing just doesn't know how to listen!
For a moment it sat in the door and looked back at him.

Great, the main course was getting away and even was mocking him!
He could see it as the bunny starred at him with its big, brown eyes, and slowly he edged nearer, but then, just before he could grab it, it turned away and skipped over to Ryous room.
"Hey that’s Ryous room, you can go in there! Now come out so I can cook you, you hairy little beast."
He found his meal under Ryous bed, licking its little paws innocently.
Again!
"I swear, if you hide one more time under the bed, I send all of them to the shadow realm, just so you can't stay under them! And stop licking yourself; you don’t have your fur long enough to clean it!"

It crooked its head to look at him, but he wasn’t so stupid to make the same mistake twice. He left the room to get a broom and shove it out of there from the other side.
But sadly, as he came back, it runs out of the room again.
Right between his legs, the little monster!
In his hurry to turn around he hit his forehead at the doorframe. He ignored the pain for the moment and vowed to kill it later painfully and ratter bloody.

After that, Bakura nearly hit it with the broom, but all he hit was a vase, which he smashed violently in the wall. Well, hopefully Ryou wasn’t too found of that thing, because now it is gone!
For a moment the thief king stood there and starred at the shards, before he growled lowly.
This furball is going to die!
Time to chance the course.

His meal wanted to play? Good, he will teach it what it meant to mess with the king of thieves.
'I need a trap. So, what to use for a trap…'
He went downstairs to sear there for something to use, only to hit his head on a water pipe and tumbled down the stairs. As he finally reached the last one, he laid there for a moment to gain control over that sudden urge to send the whole, damn house in the shadow realm, with all its cables, stairs and rabbits, just to feel better.

But then he thought again. It would be stupid to give in that urge. Because it would mean the bunny wins. And Ryou would be more then just a little disappointed if he comes home to find the house gone, after he trusted Bakura to keep it save and somewhat intact.
So he just took a deep breath, cursed that evil rabbit to hell and promised himself that Ryou would appreciate what he did and what he was going through.
'I swear, Yami is nothing against that white devil.'

After a little while of searching, he found a hamper and a rope, and his eyes lit up as he had an idea. Well, it was not really his idea, since he saw it early in the morning in TV.

'But I will do better than that stupid coyote with his bird!'
And so the irritated and bruised spirit went upstairs again and sat everything down in the living room.
'So, bunny, you think you can beat me? You are the main course in my plans, and you don’t mock me any longer!"

He put a carrot under the hamper, which was propped up by a stick. Well, normally it would be a stick. In his case, it was a knife.
Attached to the stick/knife was his rope, which leads behind the sofa so he could wait for that evil little furball!
And when it hopped in there, thinking about nothing bad, and eat its carrot, he could pull at the rope and trap it there until he snap its neck, skin and stuff it, and make Ryou proud with how good he had planned his surprise out.

But nothing happened. The little animal didn’t show up, and he got bored and impatient very fast.
That wasn’t funny anymore, a rabbit standing up against the great tomb robber!

"Come on, rabbit, I give up! I even have a carrot for you, so come down and get it!" he yelled from the top of his lungs, and then went back to hiding behind the couch.
All he had to do now was waiting; it was thinking that he would give up after all.

And he waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And snapped.

"Damn it, get your furry little ass down here, or I sent you to the shadow realm! You know that I can do that! So give up already!!!"

Suddenly there was some clattering noise downstairs in the basement.
It seems that it was an especially smart creature, since it had no trouble climbing up and down some stairs. But it was also especially stupid, to anger someone like Bakura…

Well, no matter what it was, at the moment it was in the basement, knocking over some old cans of paint and telling Bakura where it was.
"There you are!"
Unfortunately for the curious animal it went down to the basement to knock over the cans as it was searching for some food and a place to hide from the violent cook.
As if that wasn’t enough with the cans nearly hitting its little head, it also got stuck on a can of glue. It accidentally had knocked it over and now it was stuck there.

Squeaking and struggling the white furball looked up at him, pleading him to help it.
"Stop looking like my Hikari! That cute act wouldn’t work on me; I'm totally immune for that look! It's your own fault, and you know it! If you had done as I told you, and stood there in your pan in the first place, you would never stuck there, glued to an accident can of glue."
Oh yeah, Bakura enjoyed to see it there, helpless and at his mercy.

He freed his meal and gripped it again by its fluffy ears to hold it up to his face, looking it straight in the eyes after he got it free from the can.
He ignored the struggling and sound of rippling fur with a triumphant grin.
"Pain! That is what you get for not obeying me. Now you learnt something new. And I hope you learnt it good! Because now I'm going to stuff you and bake you, and then I will have a nice, romantic dinner with my Hikari!"
Bakura turned around to finally get on with the cooking, angry that it had him cost so much time just to find one small, little animal.
But upstairs he smelled something funny, and he was sure that was not a good thing.
For a moment he couldn’t place it, until he remembered a certain pot of water.
A pot of water cooking on the stove.
For a long time!

He turned the table back over and was about to sit the rabbit on the table, and telling it to stay there, but it tried to run away as soon as its paws hit the table.
But luckily, he still had it at its ears, so all it could do was struggle and wiggle.
"Shit! I knew it! You don’t learn it, do you?! You will just run away again!"
So he put it under the upturned hamper with a wide grin:

"Do you really think I'm so stupid and trust you ever again?! No way in hell! Stay there, I will get you later!" he yelled and stormed back in the kitchen to see what the problem was now!
Couldn’t anything go according to plan?
Just for once?
For Ryou?
A thick wall of smoke greeted him as soon as he opened the cursed door, and he crashed into the table with the cake on it, hitting his hip hard:
"Shit, if you dare to fall down, I fucking kill you!"
So the first thing he did was taking the cake out in the living room so it would get destroyed, so at last one course of the dinner would be finished.
He would not to have worry about that, because he didn’t know about the soup, but that stupid bunny totally refused to cooperate with him.

He ignored the bunny, as it tried to run away under its hamper, moving the whole thing around with it.
"Yeah, just try to run, because soon you will sit in my pan, stuffed and with sauce, ready to be eaten. In the end I will win, no matter how much you struggle!" now that it was trapped, he had his evil glint back in his eyes.
He even took the time to sit down and look in one of the many small holes in the hamper.
"And don’t give me that cute look! I know you are evil, or I wouldn’t have to hunt you through the whole house! It doesn’t work, so enjoy your last moments!"

But then suddenly he remembered the smoke in the kitchen and rushed back in.
Soon he saw what the problem was: The water in the pot was completely gone, and the pot was burnt.
"How the hell can water burn!" he yelled. (1) He had never known that it was even possible for liquid to burn!
He opened the windows to let the smoke outside, and then he throws the pot, too, out of the window.

Suddenly he heard the slam of the front door, followed by soft footsteps in the hall, and for a moment he panicked.
Was it really THAT late?
Ryou couldn’t be already home, he wasn’t ready for that!
Damn, that stupid bunny had cost him so much time, he was just glad that he didn’t have to make the dessert himself, too.
As fast as possible he dashed to the front door the see his light.
"Ryou! You are here, did you skip class, or something?" Bakura sounded a little nervous, and that made Ryou nervous, too.

"Bakura, what did you do?!"
"Ähmm… Nothing?"
Bakura could clearly see that Ryou didn’t believe him, and he cursed that damn rabbit to hell for ruining his surprise, just because it refused to be cooked!

"Bakura? It smells odd here. Burned."
"Don’t worry, that’s nothing! Really. Just a little accident with a pot of water." Bakura knew there was no point in hiding, all he could do now was to tell him what happened, and that he would have to wait a little with dinner, and then go and kill that fluffy beast.

'Damn it'
"Bakura?" Ryou was a little worried at the wave of disappointment and frustration coming from his darker half.

"Well, you can see… I wanted to make dinner for us, you know. It was supposed to be a surprise, but then something went wrong…"

"You can cook?" asked Ryou surprised. Somehow in his mind he saw a picture of a smiling Bakura in that pink, frilly apron his mother wore on a picture with his little sister.
It was very hard for him not to laugh…
"Of course I can cook! What do you take me for? I'm not the damn pharaoh, always having servants around to cook for me! And beside that, when I cook myself, I don’t have to worry that someone would try and poison it!"
Ryou nodded with a smile, somehow it made sense.

And he had Yami seen eat before, when they all where together, out at the mall or something. He always was very carefully when someone beside his own Hikari had made it. Only when Yugi had made it, he would eat it without thinking twice about it. And he also watched Yugi suspiciously, when he was eating something, like in breaks. He would hover over him as if something is about to happen to him…

"And the smell? Did you burn my kitchen down?"
"No, it's not that bad. Just the soup is burnt, since I accidentally got a little bit sidetracked and the main course is also not finished because of that…"

Together they made their way to the living room, where Ryou spotted the upturned hamper.
"And this is the reason you got sidetracked?" they boy asked as he got down on the floor to spy inside.
"Yes, I got it for you, to…" he was about to say for dinner, but Ryou suddenly hugged him.
"Oh, Bakura, it is so cute! Can I really keep it?" Ryou smiled and Bakura couldn’t say that it was originally meant for dinner, not as a pet. But seeing Ryou smile and hug him the way he did, he hadn't the hearth to do that to him.
Even if he would like nothing more as to kill the troublesome piece of fur.

Blind for the troubles his Yami went through at this change in menu, Ryou sat down again to spy in the hamper at the cute little bunny.
"So you burnt the soup because you had to hunt this innocent little bunny?!"
Bakura really, really hated the sound of this question, even more as his Hikari suddenly giggled.
"What?!"
"Well, just half of a day in your presence, and it is already able to pick locks and escape its cage. In a few days it will be able to go with you when you break in houses and steal things."
Ryou couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Bakura with his new partner in crime, the white bunny.
He nearly rolled at the floor as he send that mental image to his dark, making him growl.
After the boy calmed down, he went to take the little bunny out of its cage.
"Be careful, it will try to run away again! It doesn’t hear when you tell it to stay!"
Ryou just smiled, and really, the small animal snuggled in his arms and made no attempt to flee.
'Why you little demon! I had to hunt it around, and Ryou just have to touch it, and it stays where it is?!'

With the bunny in his arm, the light got to the kitchen to look at the damage. He was really relived to see that nothing seems to be destroyed. One pot wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
As he looked over the supplies and the finished stuffing, he noticed something:"Bakura? I know why you're not finished at time. You forgot to defrost the chicken! Or did you plan something else?"

Two pairs of big, brown eyes looked at him until he shook his head: "No, of course not. As I said before, I was a little sidetracked, as I hunted your new pet. I hadn't thought about the chicken…"

Ryou sat down on one of the stools and stroke the bunny, who sat calm and content in his lap and enjoyed the boys gently touch after being scared half to dead by Bakura.
"Look, Bakura! It wants to sleep there." He beamed up at his darker side. "We should put it in its cage so you don’t have to hunt it all the time. Didn’t the worker in the pet shop tell you that rabbits are supposed to sleep in a cage?"

As he saw how much his Hikari liked that furry bastard he just couldn't tell him that he was holding the main course in his lap. So he decided to just play along and pretend not to know about the cage-thing. He couldn’t simply kill the rabbit in front of his light, much less if the boy found it so cute…

"Well, we can place it under the hamper for now, and later we think about what we do with that little bas... I mean your new pet!"
"Yeah, that’s great! I go up and put it in my room, and then I come back and help you a little with your cooking!" he stood up and gave Bakura a happy hug before he placed his bunny in Bakuras arms and went out to get the hamper upstairs.

As soon as Ryou was out of earshot, Bakura glared down at the bunny, who tried to glare back at him. But just as for Ryou, it was hard to glare for the bunny to glare. Even if Bakura would swear that it did:
"Okay, beast, looks like he saved you. But you better be careful, and be nice to my Hikari! If you dare as much as nibble at his fingers, you are back on the menu. And then he can't safe you, no matter now much he begs and plea for your sorry ass. I make lunch out of you if you ever dare to hurt him. Get it, bunny?"

The rabbit looked up from its place, but this time it didn’t try to get away from him, as if it knew well that he couldn't do anything to it now.
It just settled down and yawned, showing its surprisingly long teeth.
'That damn thing does that just to intimidate me! I don’t care about the teeth, I kill it! One wrong move and it dies!'
"Ohhh, that’s so cute… I would have never guessed that you would get me such a cute little bunny."
'The damn thing was supposed to go in the stove…' if he could pout, Bakura would do so, as he saw Ryou vanish with his meal…
Bakura was torn out of his thoughts as he felt warm arms around his neck.
"That was really nice from you, Bakura. Thank you." Ryou let go of him again with a little kiss on his cheek, and then turned around to the freezer to hide his blush.
"Well, there we have the chicken. It would have been better if you put it in the fridge over night, but we can put it in the microwave now."

The thief smiled at his light, who just blushed more. And a lot more as he got a kiss on his cheek as well.

Not long after that, and they had the bird ready and in the stove after working together, so they went to the living room to wait. It would take some time for the chicken to finish, and they could use the time to get the table read, and decorate it nice with candles and all.
But as Bakura put the cake back down in the middle of the table. They had to put it aside to cover the table with a tablecloth Bakura had laid out before.

And now was the first time Ryou could take a good look at the cake Bakura was so proud of (Since it was the only thing not going wrong or messed up.)

"Ähmmm, Bakura?"
"Yes?" Bakura wrapped his arms around Ryous waist, just to see him blush again. And because he liked the way he fit in his arms.

"Did you make the cake yourself?"
For a moment Bakura wanted to say Yes, as Ryou stood there starring at the icing and the sugar-letters on top of it.
But then he thought better of it and shook his head. Who knew what that letters really say; even if he was sure the cake was all right. It had those flowers, roses or something, on top.
"I wish I could say that, Hikari, but No. How could you tell?"
Ryou giggled and pointed at the cake, or better, at the letters around it:

"Maybe because of that pink 'Happy Marriage' on top of it?"
"Oh." Was all Bakura could say as Ryou laughed so hard, he had to hold on Bakura for support, or he would plop down on the floor.
Bakura smirked down at his light: "Well, maybe it was meant to say that?!"
That stopped Ryous fit, as he starred up at the smirking Dark.

(1) I though something akin as that happened not too long ago with a pot of tea. And there was really a lot of smoke in my kitchen, but not THAT much… But it is not so easy to get rid of the damn smell

No bunnies where hurt during that chapter. Only one thief, who is properly out to hunt me down along with all his fans. Sorry.
And it was my plan from the start for the cute bunny to be saved by Ryou. Everything went wrong for poor, tortured Bakura, but well, he got together with Ryou, so he will be happy.

I know, no one said anything about it, but action speaks louder than words!
