Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Potholes in Tokyo ❯ The Lovely Ryou ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter Two: The Lovely Ryou

It was already five P.M., meaning that Bakura was a little busy at the moment. The hearts dancing in his eyes previously were back with a new ferocity, hyperly bouncing about.

"Bakura, quit staring," Ryou said in his sugar-coated voice, blushing. (Gee, and I didn't think albinos had pigment…hmm…)

"But, my lovely Ryou, I cannot help but stare…your beauty has captured the eyes of everyone, including the potatoes…and Yami's young catamite!" Bakura growled at Yuugi, who `eeped' and ran to Yami.

"Oh, Bakura…did you, by chance, forget to take your medicine today?"

"What medicine?" Bakura asked, a little too innocently.

*~*

Yami, meanwhile, was looking through the phone book. He'd decided to order a pizza, as the self-cleaning oven didn't seem to have the capacity to clean itself, and Bakura was…well, we discussed that already! He was just finished punching in the number to the Pizza Hut, when the person said hello and put him on hold…for half an hour.

He hung up, and dialed the Domino's number. After about seven rings, the computerized voice of the operator informed him that the number wasn't in service. So, eventually, he was down to only one pizzeria, and that pizzeria just happened to be…Uncle Ingrid's Pizza Palace. He could've yelled with relief when someone answered, but he decided to restrain himself.

"Hello. You've reached Uncle Ingrid's Pizza Palace, Uncle Ingrid Jr. speaking. What would you like to order today?" The teenage boy's voice sounded rather bored.

"Erm…two pepperoni pizzas…"

"Two pepperoni?" There was a pause, as if the boy was writing the order down. "And how would you like those cooked?"

Yami sweat-dropped. He didn't think there was more than one way to cook pizza. "Er…done?

"Of course. Now, is this delivery to a home, business, or apartment?"

*~*

Uncle Ingrid Jr. dropped the two boxes of charred pizza into his passenger seat, carefully buckling it in. After all, safety first! And then he got in the driver's seat and started his 1960's Ford something-or-other-that's-really-old.

*~*

By the time the pizza got there, Bakura was whining about being hungry, Ryou's stomach was growling (though he wouldn't say anything), Anzu was still angry, Yugi was getting sleepy from lack of sustenance, and Yami was contemplating hitting Bakura with a frying pan. However, all these activities were interrupted when the doorbell rang. Bakura raced to open the door.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the pizza man. It was a Jehovah's Witness, carrying a mountain of pamphlets. "Hello."

"Are those edible?" Bakura asked quickly, narrowing his eyes at the black-appareled man. He didn't wait for an answer grabbing the papers and chewing on them. Mr. Witness stepped in the house and made himself comfortable on the sofa. Yami twitched. And Bakura searched his pockets for more papers.

Again, the next ring at the bell was not the pizza man, but Bakura raced to the door anyway. Outside was a purple dinosaur with a green gut. It smiled, hugged Bakura, and said, "I looove you!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! GET IT OFF ME, GET IT OFF ME!"

Mr. Witness, probably grateful to Bakura for relieving him of all the heavy pamphlets, tried casting the demon out of the dinosaur…but only ended up turning it into a massive group hug. After a few minutes of listening to Yuugi and Ryou giggle, Yami felt he had to intervine. He was going to attack the purple dinosaur, but it swatted him away with its giant purple tail. Yami landed on his butt. (That sentence…ah!)

Anzu, apparently having heard the commotion, appeared at the bottom of the stairs. She began cackling loudly at the sight of Yami, Bakura, Mr. Witness, and the dinosaur hugging (Yami had been dragged in after getting up). As if in slow motion, the dino looked up at her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The dino screamed like a little girl, dropped the three struggling guys, and ran out the door and into the arms of Malik Ishtar.

"Save me, save me from that scary woman," the man inside the dinosaur babbled.

"It'll be O.K., Marik. Here, have an ice cream to cheer you up."

Marik the dinosaur and Malik the ice cream man, arm in arm, strolled through the city park.

"But that white-haired guy /was/ hot…" Marik the dinosaur said thoughtfully.

Malik hit him with a Fudgesicle.

*~*

"Bakura, are you all right?" Ryou asked, fussing over his love.

"Oh, I'm fine, koibito! It was only a flesh wound!" Bakura seemed to be enjoying the attention.

Yuugi was helping Yami off the floor. "Thank you, Yuugi." Yuugi had hardly noticed that they were still holding hands, even though there was no longer an excuse. Then he looked down at their hands. Yuugi blushed.

Meanwhile, Mr. Witness was running up the stairs. "Anzu! Anzu, my looove!"

Anzu looked puzzled for a few minutes, even though the man was hugging her. "Otogi?"

"Yes! It is I, your beloved Otogi! I have come back!"

Bakura said, rather loudly, "Eww, he's hugging Anzu…" Then, for the third time, the bell rang. "That better be the pizza!"

The door opened, and low and behold! Uncle Ingrid Jr. was standing there, laden with two pizza boxes. "YESSSSSSSSH! MIIIIIINE! MY PRECIOUS PIZZA!" Bakura grabbed the pizzas and ran into the kitchen with them.

Yami sweat-dropped, handed Uncle Ingrid the money, and chased after Bakura. Ingrid was left outside, the door wide open, looking mildly surprised. Otogi let go of Anzu, deciding he wanted pizza, too, but when he was right outside the kitchen door, it swung open. He was knocked out cold, but Bakura barely heeded him; he jumped over him, holding the pizzas high above his head.

Bakura tossed a pizza to Ryou, and then began devouring the other box…of what might have been pizza about 1000 degrees ago. It was so charred that he nearly broke a couple teeth, but he ate it anyway. Ryou opened his slightly less done pizza and shared with Yuugi. Yami was preoccupied with being `blah', since he had tripped over Otogi on the quest for burnt pizza.

So, eventually, Bakura ate all of his pizza by himself, and Ryou and Yuugi shared with everyone except Anzu, who had gone to flirt with Uncle Ingrid Jr. Ingrid looked rather clueless and asked if she needed more breadsticks. When she declined, he headed back to his car and drove off. Anzu `hmph'ed and went back to her room, slamming the door.

Everyone gave her back a nice golf clap.

"Yamiiiiiiiiii!" Otogi squealed.

Yami backed away slowly, seeing the scary glint in Otogi's eyes. He said `Eep!' when he finally hit the wall.

"Can I have that piece of piiiiiiiiizza?"

"TAKE IT! TAKE IT AND LEAVE!"

Otogi gladly accepted the piece of pizza in Yami's shaking hands. "Oh, but Yami, I can't leave! I must be with my looooooove forever!"

"Go find Anzu, then! And…get away from me! Haven't you ever heard of personal space?!" Yami squeaked.

"Oh, Anzu isn't my looooove anymore! You are my looooove now!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Should we save him?" Yuugi asked of Ryou, who was munching on his slice of pizza while Bakura made puppy dog eyes at him.

"Hmm…let's just see what happens…"

"RYOU, GIVE ME SOME PIZZA ALREADY!"

AN: Mou! I'm sorry it took so long… but at least you got to meet Otogi, Malik, and Marik! Oh, and a note: the yami side will be called `Marik', and the hikari `Malik'…not that there's that much difference anyway. They're both craaaazy…

Next chapter: We meet Seto and Mokuba! And maybe even Jounouchi Katsuya! Or Honda! Vroom, vroom!

Please review, now that you've read this piece of crap!
