B. EVENTFUL BIRTHDAYS

Rebirth

In the labyrinth of hell where silent screams hurl

The yearly moon is salary for us

Black memories

Happy Birthday, Happy Rebirthday...

When even having been born was a curse

I revive my pride

Loneliness in living through a light life

That this gentle face be a sacrifice for the future is a beautiful status

Revive and surpass the abyss of karma

Living is like a nightmare but this world is endless

Those with form disintegrate and only awareness remains

Happy Birthday, Happy Rebirthday...

The entire of the Bakura Household, now presently living in an apartment that was within walking distance of the Motou Game Shop and Ishtar Penthouse, was not the place where people woke up in cheery moods. This family was anti-happy mornings and also a sitcom family’s worse nightmare.

Now saying that, a rather half asleep Angel Bakura had been up since six in the morning and already fully dressed to face the world- black leather looking pants, black steel toed boots, and a black tank top that had ‘one by one the penguins steal my sanity’ written on it in white. It was obvious that she wasn’t exactly shy and nice like Ryou, but she was practically the embodiment of her other father in female form.

With a yawn she adjusted the hair tie in her white hair, thanking the fact that none of it would be falling in her face as she yawned or get in her food if she decided to fall asleep in her cereal again. Upon finishing that thought, followed by a stretch, she finally stepped into the nearly deserted living room only to see her obviously half drunk father, Kourage, sprawled across the couch looking rather comfortable. [If I can’t sleep to a damn decent hour then my father sure as hell won’t!] She thought, snapping fully awake and grinning in obvious intent.

Poor Kourage wasn’t coherent enough to feel the shiver run down his spine.

"Come on, Daddy dearest, best get you into the kitchen." she stated sweetly as she hauled him on to his feet, in which she barely caught him from kissing the carpeted floor and drug him into the kitchen where Ryou was preparing breakfast and watching her like a hawk.

"Aren’t you just a precious little doll?" Kourage slurred as she rolled her eyes, plopping him down in a chair so she could mask her smirk of intent as Ryou’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. He didn’t stop her so that must have been unstated permission to go ahead and do what she wanted to. Good.

"Happy birthday, dear Change of Heart." Ryou greeted as he hugged her, actually getting this hug returned as Kourage was still looking slightly incoherent.

“Thanks, Daddy.” She stated with a smile, turning around and seizing a mug of coffee that had been conveniently sitting out. Ryou winked as she nodded and then lashed out in a flurry of speed and held his nose.

As Kourage opened his mouth to protest she started to pour the coffee down his throat forcibly, causing his eyes to open wide. Angel then sat the mug down and took her place to his left as Ryou snickered, knowing it was a comical moment when daughter got the upper hand over the Robber. "It’s your fault she learned how to do that." Kourage hissed out as he tried to regain his breath, only to enter another coughing fit as Angel looked smug.

"Cheer up, the second plan was worse." Ryou stated serving up pancakes and sat down too.

"Happy seventeenth birthday, Angel." Kourage stated, recovering from the ordeal enough to speak as she just gave him a mirror of his own devious smile. “Now don’t give me that smile, I patented it girly.”

A school day when she turned seventeen...

She ignored Kourage’s comment as her eyes lit up with realization, which made Ryou look slightly afraid about what that could possibly mean but he didn’t get a chance to say anything due to the fact the phone was now ringing. Ryou sighed and got up to answer it as Kourage stared at his daughter, then downed another mug of black coffee and awaited something bad to befall the present move of the apartment’s occupants. "Moshi, moshi Bakura Residents." Ryou stated politely as snickering voices were on the other side.

Apparently nothing on the caliber they assumed.

<May we speak with a Miss Angelique Bakura? It is a matter of dire urgency.> a girl stated seriously as he looked confused and glanced towards his daughter, who was dead set on playing Russian Roulette with the now half sober Kourage.

“Before or after she cuts a finger off?” he asked as the two voices were laughing, he placed one hand over the receiver and turned to the two. "Angel, phone." he stated as she shot up and grabbed it, ignoring her game as Kourage returned to eating his pancakes.

"Angelique speaking, what the hell do you want?" she asked cheerfully as Ryou sweat dropped, wishing she’d use the manners he drilled into her. Then again it was a plus that she was using a good tone of voice so he couldn’t fault her for that, seeing no one is perfect and it took him too long to get her to use that tone of voice.

Beggars can’t be choosers.

<This is your friends calling to tell you we are abducting you, skipping school, and having one hell of a birthday party for you during that time.> a male voice stated as she laughed bringing herself up to sit on the kitchen counter top, earning another disapproving look from Ryou. The other one was still set in the pancakes and the fork and the syrup that covered half of his face, which meant he was thinking really hard and trying to eat at the same time.

"Why are you warning me then?" she asked as there was a sudden knock at the door.

<Not you, warn Uncle Ryou so when he get’s the call that he won’t be freaking out like last time.> with that the line went dead as she hung up and turned to her parents.

"Dearest Parents, I’m telling you now so we don’t have another troublesome event like we did the last time this happened.” She started off, clasping her hands before her as she gave them a warm smile. “I will be, unfortunately, skipping school today in order to fully enjoy the time I will be spending with my friends to celebrate the day of my birth. So thank you!" she told them as Kourage snapped from his syrup induced trance and glanced at her.

"Be back by five!" he shouted as Ryou jumped his drunken form and was hell bent on throttling him into the ground. Apparently Ryou wanted her to go to school more then Kourage and she wasn’t about to hang around to get that lecture and a personal escort to school.

"Have fun!" she shouted, pulling the hair tie from her hair as the white mass fell from it’s bun to about her waist. She didn’t care if it looked messy or not... cause at the age of twelve she found that she resembled Maximillion Pegasus if her hair was straight. That then freaked her out and she tried to avoid taming the mess since then, in hopes of avoiding her nightmares of such an event of having him for a father and her enemy as a step-sister.

She shivered at that thought. That was why she gave up the alliance with the damned comb and only decided to do that in the comfort of friends and family and in the privacy of her own home and when she absolutely felt like being in pain.

Opening the door she stared at the amused Anubis, who stood waiting for her. Anubis Ishtar stood a few inches taller then her with the trademark Ishtar blonde hair and slightly darker violet eyes. He usually wore a black dress shirt over a blood red tank top with jeans, which made most of the female population go into their dirty thoughts when he was around. "Ready to have some fun?" he asked offering her his arm as she laughed and hooked her arm with his.

"Let’s go, you nut." she stated as they set off down the corridor. [If only I could lock you in a closet with a certain Gaming Princess…]

!*^^*!

In the Dark Limbo (the private place away from the normal Limbo where Beryl plots ways to spoil her grandchildren, all four of them), the unknown Dimension Voices and the infamous Shadow Realm Gods sat sipping drinks of any era they could think of. The present conversation was about guardians, well the new generation of guardians.

Apparently the Dimensional Voices weren’t too pleased with the default one they had already. So it had given the Shadow Realms a chance to boast about the ones they had trusted since before they had been sealed for the first time.

That was where the conversation turned into a brawl between the voices themselves, which was funny because all they were was colored balls of light that pulsed when they spoke. “Imbecile!” the blue one shrieked as the Gods looked up from their game of Egyptian Rat screw (I believe that is what it is called, sorry if I insult anybody that knows the game. Do correct me in a review and I’ll change it) to stare at the Rainbow Brawl.

“Who are you calling imbecile you blue ball!” the yellow one stated as Ra choked on his Margarita, which meant that Obelisk then hit him on the back and caused the dragon to go through the nonexistent floor as the rest sweat-dropped.

“We only granted her this power because her mother was the only creditable and celibate senshi that didn’t try to abuse their power, up till now.” The red muttered coldly as the others fell silent. Apparently red ran the group and they feared the odd thing. “Then she pops out a kid and this starts.”

“It’s time to find us a new guardian.” The green one stated with amusement as the rest paused in mid-thought to stare at the green ball.

“Exactly!” the rest chorused as the Shadow Gods finished their game and gave the group of orbs a weird look.

“Then why the hell are we here?” Exodia the Forbidden One demanded as Ra, Obelisk, and Slifer agreed. None of the four appreciated being drawn out from their fun and games within their home realm. In light of that fact they didn’t appreciated watching a rainbow fight with each other because that usually meant something else was up.

It was.

!*^^*!

"I just know those annoying girls skipped class today." Jade Meioh fumed as she sat in a booth in one of the few arcades in Domino. She was the daughter of Setsuna Meioh and Maximillion Pegasus, and the unfortunate result of that one night stand at Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba’s wedding about nineteen years ago. Since then she was rather on the bratty and bad attitude side, seeing her parents never seen each other or cared to see each other. She had her father’s eyes and her mother’s green hair and skin color.

Her best friend, Rini Chiba, glanced at her in question. Rini was the child of Usagi and Mamoru Chiba and was the same age as Jade. She still had her cotton candy pink hair and red eyes, but everyone would expect that. "But I wouldn’t mind hanging out with Anubis..." Rini stated with hearts in her eyes as Jade looked to be about the same way.

"Yeah." Jade stated as they watched the said trio enter the arcade, laughing.

If it wasn’t already stated Anubis Ishtar was the only son of Malik and Marik Ishtar and the pride of Grandpa Ishtar’s twinkling eye. He stood inches taller then both of his female companions (one of which was his crush) with wild dark golden blonde hair that fell in spikes past his shoulders as violet eyes mirrored his parents. Many recognized him as always wearing black or dark colors with gold jewelry and always looking sexy. He had been raised in Egypt for about ten years before the Psychotic Trio got back together- from Japan, the Shadow Realms, and such.

The third Keeper of the Millennium Rod had gracefully settled in one of the corner booths as he took this time to watch Angel Bakura and Yumi Motou, both girls acting like nuts as always, as they pulled out their deck of playing cards and started to deal. He sighed, rolling his eyes in the process, as the two were snickering and giggling with their odd game. Drinks had then been sat before them, she he ordered when they entered, which added to the hyperness that they were on.

Yumi Motou was the oldest child of Yami and Yugi Motou, her slightly younger brother still missing and it strained her parents sometimes when they would attempt to find him by using the Shadow Realms. She looked like her mother in every way, only her eyes were crimson with her tri-colored hair in layers (longest was waist length and red with mid-back black, and blonde bangs). She is the third Keeper of the Millennium Puzzle, and also the one that was on the receiving end of getting elbowed in the under the table war he started.

"Are you just trying to keep me out of the loop?" Angel asked all of a sudden as Anubis shrugged, leaving Yumi to give her the innocent smile that was the downfall of many a card wars.

Then a sudden chill made the good mood fade, which wasn’t good for Angel.

"Well, lookie who it is." Jade stated coldly as she and Rini stood by the table, looking like the fun wreckers or the snobbish girls that always seem to do this in movies just so they can snub someone that was enjoying something more then them. Eh… never mind. "The Morons."

"No, we’re the Sanity Challenge Misfits." Yumi stated as Angel grinned. “Get it right, you idjits.”

"Cause you see we’re deathly allergic to morons and idiots, it causes us to break out in severe multiple personalities that are not so nice." Anubis stated as Rini giggled and proceeded to flirt with him. It was then Anubis chose that moment to grab Yumi’s knee in a death grip, which got him a weird look from both Angel and Yumi.

"Your so witty." she sighed fluttering her eyelashes as he moved his hand up to Yumi’s thigh, causing said Millennium Puzzle Holder to blush and bite her lip all the while restraining her urge to slap him.

"Well, it’s nearly five and we better go before Uncle Batty decides it’s time to enforce time rules." Angel stated quickly and pushed the pink haired girl from the booth as she stumbled into Jade, giving Yumi and Anubis enough time to recover and duck out of the booth.

But, they were moving to slowly for Anubis’s taste and he grabbed both of their hands and was out the door before any girl knew what was happening. "He’s so cute!" Rini squealed as Jade fumed, she didn’t like being ignored or brushed off like that.

“Revenge will be mine.” Jade swore as they left to plot about more then one things with the aide of the Sailor Scouts.

!*^^*!

“We have been… observing your guardians since they reunited those decades ago.” The violet one stated politely as the cards were shoved away and the drinks and table gone. “We watched as the hikaris- Yugi, Malik, and Ryou- and yamis- Yami, Marik, and Bakura- got along with the duties you gave them.”

“Get to the point.” Slifer growled as the balls drew back a few feet from them.

“We wish to strike a deal with you in choosing one of their children and join both Dimension traveling and the Shadow Realms in peace.” The violet one continued in a rush, knowing not to piss off the group before it.

“What brought this on?” Ra hissed as they drew back even more.

“They don’t try to purify everyone, aren’t on the bratty side, actually understand the reason of the disembodied voices in their head, and are used to multiple personalities.” It continued as Obelisk pulled his hammer from thin air and readied it. “Plus, they don’t wish to rule in peace and harmony with mind controlling for the entire planet! They’d rather keep everything interesting and won’t ignore us!” it finished in a near jumbled rush and then the violet ball hid behind the red one, which earned it a glare of sorts from the red one. No one likes to be used for a shield against angry Shadow Gods.

“Only as long as you don’t mention it to them about us letting you, you have seen their hatred towards the Sailor Scouts.” Slifer stated, flickering his forked tongue across the neutral shadow power in the Dark Limbo in a taste of bland nothingness. “The only way we will let you do this is if you comply with her wishes on the use of the title ‘Sailor Scout’ and such. If you piss her off, we will gladly kick your collective asses.”

That got a collective cringe of powers.

“Agreed.” The red one stated at long last as the silent gray one was flying about in happy little circles above the group.

“It’s been awhile since we had fun, it would work!” the gray ball squealed in delight as everyone else stared at it. “Finally! Someone who won’t ignore me!”

“What shall be done then?” Obelisk asked as the tension in that realm finally lowered to a tangible point. The orbs started to rapidly shot off ideas and such as they cringed. “What the hell are we getting into?”
