Chapter 10

Yami yawned, leaning against the lightpost, waiting for Ahmose, his bookbag hanging from his shoulder. He grinned when Ahmose pulled up. "So...how'd the genie hunt go?"

"Shut up." Ahmose snapped, glaring at Yami as he got in. "I was NOT high!!!"

Yami burst into laughter getting into the car. "Somehow I'm getting a big fat 'I was high' out of that." He said smirking. "There WAS no genie was there?"

Ahmose growled. "There has to be... things aren't adding up. Did Marik ever say anything to you about an inheritence from his parents? He always told us that they lived in poverty, right? Well suddenly, they've left him half a million dollars! And he just won a 372 thousand dollar jackpot in the lottery! And he's bought his sister a car and himself a house!"

Yami whistled. "Sounds like someone's jealous." He snickered. "I know if I'd won the lottery, I'd have done the same thing!" He said. "Plus, I woulda got myself one of those huge plasma screen tvs, a jacuzzi tub and about a billion new cards."

Ahmose rolled his eyes. "I am NOT jealous, Mikado and I are very well off and you know it."

"Not well off enough to get out of that apartment, or get a plasma screen." Yami said pointedly. "Besides, I TOLD you you were probably 'trippin' on those narcotics. C'mon Ahmose... a GENIE? That's too far fetched, even for you to be considering."

Ahmose growled. "Shut up! And we can TOO afford to get out of that apartment and get a plasma TV. We just don't see the need to."

Yami snickered. "I'm sensing a lot of anger and frustration... is the great Ahmose all mad because he was wrong for once?"

"No, I am NOT mad! I'm... frustrated because things are not adding up and people are with holding information. Now shut up!" Ahmose grumbled, heading for the high school to pick up their younger brothers.

Yami chuckled once more. "Oh it adds up perfectly Ahmose. His parents obviously had money saved back that he never knew about, and when they died and left everything to him, he inherited it. It's common. Add on that he just won the lottery. It makes sense that he'd spend a little of that savings, which was probably put into a bond when he inherited it, since he was young when his parents died." Yami reasoned step by step.

"Tack onto that the fact he's been dying to give Ishizu a break. Winning the lottery probably gave him the security to dip into those savings."

Ahmose shook his head. "He just won the lottery this morning." He said. “Ishizu never said anything about an inheritence when I asked how Marik bought her a car. She said it was from the lottery. But Marik hadn't COLLECTED his winnings by the time his sister got that car. And now, he has a house! That is NOT normal! It takes TIME to buy a house with all the payments and planning and paperwork... Even if he DID buy it with an inheritence, he would have been working on the purchase for weeks, and he would NEVER have kept it from us. We're his friends for God's sake. His ONLY friends!!! No, it doesn't make sense." Ahmose concluded as he pulled up in front of the high school.

Yami shook his head. "It doesn't take weeks to buy a house Ahmose. Not when you pay cash. If he walked into a realitor's establishment and paid cash, it would take an hour at most. The longest process would be picking the house. Same goes for a car. Ten minutes, tops." Yami said calmly.

Ahmose frowned. "Yami, no. It is NOT that simple. Maybe with buying a CAR but Ishizu said Marik had bought the car with lottery money. Money he had JUST GONE TO COLLECT!!! He hasn't been home at all today! She said he left around noon! Well, it's four, now! How could he have collected lottery money, bought a car AND a HOUSE within four hours?!"

"Money burns holes in the pocket of rich people." Yami shrugged. "Why are you so bothered by this? C'mon just admit it, you were wrong. Which by the way means you owe ME a dollar." Yami said suddenly. "Remember? Every time I'm wrong you get a dollar, and this time you're wrong now fork it over." he said grinning broadly.

Ahmose slowly turned and glared at Yami. "Not until I get another look at that bottle!" He snapped, turned and looking for their brothers.

"Noooo you were wrong, now gimme." He taunted. "Genies, please. Gimme." He repeated trying to hide his chuckles.

"Shut up." Ahmose said as Mikado and Yugi ran up to the car and hopped in. Ahmose looked back at his younger brother in the review mirror. "You going to the dojo today, or home?"

"Not in the mood for the dojo." Mikado said. "I'll go tomorrow."

"That's what you said yesterday." Ahmose pointed out, but Mikado just shrugged and stole his brother's soda from the cup holder between Yami and Ahmose.

Yami smirked at Ahmose. "Gimme, or I'll ask Mikado's opinion." He warned, looking ready to burst into laughter.

Yugi blinked. "Opinion on what?" he asked confusedly. "Are you going to buy another obscure expensive book?" He asked.

Yami snickered. "C'mon, you made a deal, it's time you lived up to it." He added snickering. "Gimme."

Ahmose growled and dug into his pocket a bit then snorted. "Count it out in the change tray." He said, glancing at the ash tray he used for change.

Yami chuckled. "Oh fine." He said plucking four quarters from the tray. "Ha. Finally." He said smugly.

Ahmose rolled his eyes and pulled out of the drive in front of the school.

"What's going on?" Mikado asked. "Ask my opinion about what?"

"About how you would like me to kick your ass. Karate, Tae Kwan Do or Ju Jitsu. You choose." Ahmose growled.

Yami snickered. "Ahmose thinks Marik has a genie." He explained snickering. "And he doesn't want to admit he's wrong."

Mikado and Yugi both raised their eyebrows and looked at Ahmose, who growled. "Okay, put the dollar back."

Yami shook his head. "Nope, even the younger ones think you're nuts. This is MY dollar." He teased snickering.

"You think Marik has a genie?!" Mikado howled. "Would that have anything to do with you coming home smelling like pot last night?! Ahmose?! Are you getting high?!?! And not SHARING?!?"

"MIKADO!!!" Ahmose howled. "That's enough!!!"

Yami and Yugi both burst into laughter. "See?!" Yami blurted. "You were high, admit it!"

"I was NOT high!" Ahmose snapped. "Call Marik and find out where that fucker is!!!"

"What fucker? Your magical genie friend?" Yami snickered.

Yugi giggled softly. "Ahmose, isn't it just a little... odd to say genie? Are you sure it wasn't a hallucination?"

Ahmose glared at Yami. "No, Marik!" He snapped, then glared at Yugi in the review mirror. "If I was hallucinating then Malik and Marik were, too! Malik talked to it and Marik kissed it!"

Yami laughed harder and dialed Marik's cell. "Marik?" He said, when Marik picked up.

"Yo." Marik said, still lounging on the bed.

"Ahmose says you have a genie." Yami said snickering. "Anyway, where are you?"

Marik chuckled. "Ahmose has been studying too long." He said. "I'm at my house."

"Yeah I heard, what's the address?" Yami asked, turning to Ahmose and snickering. "He says you've been studying too long."

Yugi stifled a giggle.

Ahmose snorted and Mikado poked him, irritating him.

"Hell if I know." Marik giggled, then turned to look at Ryou who was hanging curtains. "Hey Ryou! What's our address?"

Ryou giggled softly. "463 South Sandy lane." he cooed, looking at the floating curtains and motioning them to the side slightly, straightening them.

"Tell Ahmose the genie says 463 South Sandy Lane." Marik chuckled.

Yami laughed harder. "Ahmose, Marik says the genie says his address is 463 South Sandy Lane."

Ahmose growled as Yugi and Mikado burst out laughing. "Shut up all of you!" He snapped, swinging a quick left and heading in the direction of Marik's new house.

"Ahmose says shut up." Yami said, relaying the message to Marik.

Marik grinned. "Ahmose can kiss my fine tan ass."

Yami laughed harder, trying to breathe. "Marik says to 'kiss my fine tan ass'." He quoted to Ahmose, laughing at the look on his face. "I think you upset him... more."

Ahmose growled and turned onto the street, pulling up in front of the house that had Marik's motorcycle in front. "Tell Marik to come down and say that to my face!" Ahmose snapped, getting out of the car and slamming the door.

Ryou squeaked at the sudden noise of Ahmose slamming his car door. "Master, you have guests..." He said softly, as Marik hung up, though he looked uneasy and nervous. "Wh-what do you wish for me to do?" He added softly, biting his lip.
Marik thought a bit. "I wish you were invisible... to everyone but me and Ahmose." He chuckled, looking at Ryou. "I have GOT to screw with him... and he needs to loosen up."

Ryou nodded smiling. He shimmered a moment, before seemingly returning to normal, though when he stood, he cast no shadow. "I'm invisible." He cooed walking to Marik's side in the bed, and kissing him. "To everyone but you and your friend..." he whispered lovingly. "I may keep my clothes...right?" He said changing the color of his harem suit, to a fiery red and orange combination, deciding it would be more eye-catching.

Marik laughed. "Oh, this will be good." He snickered. "Come on! But wait a few minutes before you show yourself to Ahmose!" And he ran down the stairs and flung open the front door. "Hey guys!"

Yami whistled as Marik invited them in. "Nice place." He said looking around. "Love the color scheme." He added looking around. "So, where's this... genie thing Ahmose is all uppity about."

Yugi grinned as he noticed the large flat-wide-screen plasma TV. "Oh WOW!" he chirped plopping in front of it and helping himself to some television in high definition.

Marik laughed at Yugi, and watched Mikado wander away, exploring the house. Then, he turned and looked at Ahmose.

"Hi, honey."

"Fuck you, Ishtar." Ahmose snapped. "Where is he?!"

"Who?" Marik asked sweetly, batting his eyes at Ahmose.

Yami laughed, stepping aside to watch how THIS played out. "He wants to see your 'genie' Marik." Yami said snickering. "He insists you have one. He was even reading Aladdin today..."

Ahmose flushed and glared at Yami as Marik burst out laughing.

"I saw you with that thing, Marik! You rubbed your bottle and a genie came out!" Ahmose howled, and Marik giggled.

"Oh, I... rubbed my bottle?" He reached a hand down his pants and fondled himself. "Like this? And I made a genie, *ahem* CUM out?"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT AND YOU KNOW OUT!!" Ahmose shrieked, mortified.

Yami at that point had to leave the room, laughing so hard he was crying. "Mikado! Ahmose was high AND having sex last night!" he called laughing hysterically.

Yugi giggled from his perch on the couch, as he channel surfed.

Marik collapsed onto the sofa next to Yugi, also laughing hysterically. Ahmose, however, was fuming.

"I WAS NOT!!!" He roared, and Mikado came out o the kitchen, laughing.

"He was not, Yami!"

"Yeah, see?!"

"He's too much of a prude to just randomly screw Marik, even if he WAS high!"

"HEY!!!"

Yami had to lean against the wall, he was laughing so hard. "Oh gods this is great!" he said wiping his eyes. "No genie, and Marik puts on a sex show for him. Spanish fly anyone?"

Ryou giggled softly, his voice only heard by two people in that room...

He peered out from the wall near the stairs, watching with an amused smile. His master was so sneaky and fun!

Ahmose turned, and his eyes widened. "THERE HE IS!!" He howled pointing at Ryou. Marik turned and looked around, grinning. Ahmose was all but hopping up and down; ah, it was SO fun upsetting the usually cool, collected and emotionless Ahmose...

Yami blinked and turned, as did Yugi. "Uh... Ahmose, unless I'm missing something... there's nothing there." He said trying to hold in his laughter.

Yugi nodded. "I don’t see anyone..."

Ahmose blinked, and looked at Yami. "What do you mean there's nothing there?! He's standing right there!!!"

Yami shook his head. "I'm not lying, there's nothing there!" He said motioning to where Ahmose was pointing. "Nothing at all!"

Yugi nodded. "He's not lying Ahmose... I don’t see anything either... are you ok?"

Ryou giggled softly, covering his mouth with his hand, looking amused.

Mikado frowned and walked over to his elder brother. "Ahmose? Maybe... maybe you HAVE been hitting the books too hard... maybe you should go home and rest up for a while..." He said, laying a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"I do NOT need to rest up for a while! If this is a joke, it's not funny!!!" Ahmose howled, slapping his brother's hand away.

Ryou giggled once more and walked right up to Ahmose and looked him over. "Hello." He cooed smiling.

Ahmose stared, eyes wide. "You're... he's... He's standing right in front of me and talking to me! And you can't SEE HIM?! OR HEAR HIM?!?!?" Ahmose howled, looking at his brother, and the Mouto boys.

Yami raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "The only thing I'm seeing, is a freakishly insane side of you that I'd rather not have seen." He said coughing out a laugh.

Yugi shook his head. "Sorry Ahmose... I don’t see anything either..."

Ryou cooed softly at Ahmose, bowing respectfully. "Perhaps they need glasses?"

Ahmose jumped away from Ryou, eyes wide. Then, he looked at Marik. Who was trying desperately not to laugh. And it was obvious. Ahmose's look of shock turned to one of rage. "ISHTAAAAR!!!" He roared, and charged at Marik, leaping over the sofa and tackling him to the floor.

"FUCK!!" Marik yelped, and burst out laughing.

Ryou giggled more, approaching Ahmose again. "Master Ahmose, you should calm down..." he cooed taking a seat in mid air, his eyes level with Ahmose's. "Too much stress will be the end of you." he cooed running a hand through Ahmose's hair and smiling warmly. "Besides... you must look quite the fool to your friends, jumping around so nervously, then suddenly enraged...."

Ahmose stared wide eyed at Ryou, then glared down at Marik. "You did something, you prick!" He snapped, and slugged Marik in the stomach.

Ryou squeaked and wrinkled his nose, waving his hands. Time stopped, and Ahmose found himself pinned to the opposite wall... with quite a back ache. "You shall NOT harm my master." Ryou said sternly, glaring. His hands glowed softly, and he floated off the ground slightly. "By the gods, I give you the furies of the three!" he howled furiously, and Ahmose received his OWN punch to his own gut from an invisible force, three times.

Ryou stooped and nuzzled Marik. "Oh precious Master..." he cooed lovingly, smiling and waving a hand, freeing Ahmose and returning time to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Mikado yelped and jumped when suddenly, Ahmose was groaning on the floor across the room, clutching his stomach.

Marik turned and looked up. "Oh, Ryou baby..." He said, petting his cheek, although to the other it looked like he was petting air. "It's okay! We punch each other like that all the time!"

Ryou wrinkled his nose. "I do not like it." he said softly and nuzzled Marik's chest. "Besides, did he not call you a... 'prick'? Isn't that a bad word?" he said crossing his arms. "He was quite rude."

Marik laughed. "Ah, guys in this time just do that! We insult each other, hit each other... and play mean jokes on each other. You can drop the invisibility now, honey. These are my friends and I trust them. I just had to fuck with Ahmose's head for a while."

Ryou shook his head slowly. "Do I have to?" he murmured looking downtrodden. “You know I hate telling people... th-the more who know the more chances for wishes to get out of control...." he mumbled.

Yami whistled and shook his head. "The looney birds are loose in this house..." he said chuckling.

Marik smiled. "It's okay. I wish they could see you."

Ryou whined loudly, and he shimmered softly, and his form faded into reality.

Yami blinked. "Yeah... I think the looney birds are loose, and I think one just pecked out my mind... I'm going to sit next to Ahmose in the asylum now..." he said shaking his head.

Ryou blinked and backed away from them, hiding behind Marik, giving Yami a terrified look, though it was only for a split second before his eyes were cast to the floor, where they remained as he hid behind Marik.

Mikado's jaw dropped, then suddenly he blurted "Wow, he's a cute one!" Before smacking his hand over his own mouth in shock.

Ryou blushed darkly, though he kept his eyes to the floor. "Th-thank you..." he cooed softly. He bowed his head, and a new pair of Egyptian earrings appeared before Mikado, as thanks for the compliment.

Mikado blinked and caught them. "Wow... umm...thanks...?" He squeaked, then looked down at Ahmose on the floor.

"Told you." He snapped, then glared at Yami. "You owe me TWO dollars."

Yami shook his head grinning. "Nope. Insanity was off limits remember? I think we're both insane." he said laughing. "Because this is completely ridiculous."

Yugi blinked at Ryou. "He's very... quiet." he said blinking. "and he's shaking..."

"He's afraid that you'll try to take him from me." Marik said, turning and hugging Ryou. "Because... well... people are like that in general."

Ryou hugged Marik tightly, and bit his lip. He shrank down to the size of a small plushy, and clung to Marik's hands, hiding behind them.

Yugi blinked. "Oh that's cute..." he said grinning. "How convenient too! The pocket-sized genie!"

Marik blinked down at Ryou, then chuckled. "Awwww..." He cooed, sitting on the sofa next to Yugi. Mikado and Ahmose crept up behind the sofa and peered down at Ryou from over Marik's shoulders.

"He's so cute!" Mikado giggled. "Can I pet him?"

"He's not a kitten, Mikado." Ahmose said, raising an eyebrow at his brother.

Ryou blinked up at the now gargantuan humans. "Pet me?" he said confusedly, hugging Marik's thumb and hiding behind it still. He gave Marik a confused look.

Yami peered down at the genie too. "Aww, he is a cute little thing isn't he?"

Ryou squeaked and scrambled into Marik's sleeve, a little shaking lump showing where he was hiding.

Yugi blinked. "heh Yami I told you you're frightening. You scare kittens AND genies."
Mikado and Ahmose both snickered.

"What's his name?" Mikado asked.

"Ryou." Marik said, reaching into his sleeve and trying to catch the teenie genie.

Ryou squeaked and scrambled higher before there was a soft 'puff' noise, and smoke escaped Marik's sleeve. He'd 'poofed'.

Yugi laughed. "I think your genie just... heh... 'poof'ed on you."

Yami burst out laughing at that. "That's a good one Yugi." He said ruffling his brother's hair, while Marik looked around him confusedly, unaware of the now much teenier genie, that was hiding amongst the spikes of his hair.

"Where'd he go?" Marik asked, looking all over, even taking off his jacket. "Hmmm..." He pulled the bottle from his pocket and peered inside. "Ryou? You in there?" He turned it upside down and shook it a bit.

Yugi laughed. "I think he's given you the slip." He giggled as Marik shook the bottle.

Ryou sat quietly buried under some of Marik's hair, peering out at them cautiously, barely moving at all, and carefully hidden from the eyes of his former Pharaoh.... the one he feared more than anything.

Marik sighed and rubbed the bottle instead.

"Heh... he's rubbing his bottle, Ahmose."

"Shut up." Ahmose growled at his younger brother.

But seeing as Ryou was not in the bottle, it merely glowed softly, and faded.

Yugi blinked and peered inside the bottle. "So... I guess genies can hide from their masters when they want." He said giggling softly. "Handy trick I suppose."

Marik frowned and reached up, scratching his head.

Ryou yelped and dodged out of the way of the scratching hand. "Eeep!" he squeaked.

Marik stopped and looked around. "Did you all hear that?"

Yugi giggled more, grinning. "I think I found your genie..." he said laughing. "He squeaked when you scratched your head..."

Marik blinked, then ran his fingers through his hair. "Ryou? You in there?"

Ryou squeaked again, dodging out of Marik's way again.

Yugi laughed. "Yup, he's in that mass of hair somewhere..." he said amusedly.

"Ryou... I wish you would get out of there..." Marik whined.

Ryou whined once more, and poofed, appearing on Marik's lap, before darting under the hem of his shirt.

Yami chuckled shaking his head. "Gods he's skittish... it's adorable. Is he always this way?"

"No..." Marik said.

"Could he have... recognized Yami or Yugi?" Ahmose asked after a moment. "Like he did me?" Marik's eyes widened and he pulled Ryou out from under his shirt and held him at eye level.

"Ryou? Is that it?" He asked.

Ryou sniffled softly, nodding slowly. "I want in my bottle..." he mumbled sniffling again. "Please...."

Marik blinked and looked back at Yami, then at Ryou again. "Is… is he the... Pharaoh?" He asked the boy.

Ryou sniffled and whimpered, nodding. "P-please... h-he'll be mad...."

Marik blinked and looked at Yami. "Are you mad?"

"Nope... a little wierded out at being called a pharaoh... but not mad." Yami said calmly.

Ryou sniffled. "I... I don’t want him!"

Marik blinked. "Ryou... why are you so scared?" He asked.

Ryou sniffled. "I... I don’t want to be punished again..." He whimpered softly.

Marik frowned. "Why would you be punished, Ryou?"

Ryou sniffled. "Because he says so!" He said pointing at Yami. "He made him punish me!" big tears began welling up in Ryou's eyes. "I don’t want to be punished again! I'm a good slave!"

Marik blinked and looked back and forth between Yami and Ahmose. Both shrugged.

Ryou gave Marik a worried look. "I don’t want... to be punished anymore... I've been good..."

Marik smiled. "You have, Ryou. You've been VERY good! They have no reason to punish you, and I wouldn't let them even if they did."

Yugi examined the bottle while Marik was talking to Ryou. "You know what? I wish he was a big bunny... I'd love a pet like him. Grandpa says no pets, but he's just so cute!" he said calmly, while looking over the intricate designs of the bottle.

Ryou yelped and a bright light flashed, and he was full size, sitting on Marik's lap, with large floppy ears, and a poofy bunny tail. His lip trembled. "Masssterrr!"

Marik's eyes widened, and he burst out laughing, snatching the bottle from Yugi. "Don't do that!" He cried. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you all make wishes. I let Malik and Bakura have the bottle and they went nuts apparently. Ishizu and me ended up at a bus station in Kyoto and Malik apparently did something horrible, wished it never happened, then wished the bottle away, which is how Ahmose came by it."

Yugi blinked. "I didn't mean to! Oh gosh Ryou I'm sorry! I didn't think anything would happen...." he said shaking his head. "Marik...I wanna pet him now..." Yugi added after a minute. "pleeease?"

Marik sighed. "Go ahead."

Yugi grinned and climbed over Marik's lap and nearly pounced on Ryou. "Oh he's soft!" he said delightedly, petting the ears and hair. "I love rabbits..." he said joyfully, backing off after a few minutes.

Ryou pouted. "I've been violated!"

Marik laughed. "I'm sorry baby. You can turn back to normal now." He said, kissing Ryou's little cheek.

"So... you're from Egypt?" Ahmose said after a moment. "What dynasty was it? What was the capital? Are you literate? Were you the Pharaoh's slave or someone else’s? Were-- OW!!"

"Shut up, Ahmose!" Mikado howled, smacking him upside the head. "Go read a book!"

Ryou changed back and blinked. "Yes, 5th, Armana, yes, yes, no, and... I'm sorry." He said as a book appeared before Ahmose, so Mikado would be happy.

Everyone blinked at that; poor Ahmose had his answers but had forgotten the questions. So he just took the book and stared at Ryou. "And... me and Yami were there?"

Ryou nodded. "Yes."

Ahmose and Yami glanced at each other. "And... Yami was Pharaoh and I was... his friend?"

Ryou nodded. "Yes." he mumbled softly. "He was Pharaoh..."

"Heh... there went the kingdom." Mikado giggled, grinning at Yami.

Yami blinked. "Hell if I remember that." He said wrinkling his nose.

Ryou nodded. "Y-you both were... there. Lived in the palace..." he said softly. "I was a palace slave..."

"What kind of slave?" Mikado asked, but blinked when Ahmose gasped. He was petting pages in the book.

"Is this genuine papyrus?!" He asked, and the others all rolled their eyes.

"Ignore him." Mikado said. "He was raised by Egyptology geeks."

Ryou nodded. "It is." he said softly. He waved a hand and a large scroll appeared. "I looked at this one... the day I was punished. I had no idea what it said... but... I'm sure you can read it." he said softly

Ahmose blinked and caught it. He frowned. "This is... Cuneiform." He said after a moment. "No, I cannot read it."

Ryou blinked. "No?" he said confusedly. "oh..." he said waving, the characters dancing across the page, forming English phrases and words. A translation. "There..."

Ahmose blinked. "Oh..." He began to read it. "Oh... my... God..."

Ryou sighed softly, nuzzling into Marik's chest. "Enjoying it?"

Ahmose turned and sat down in a chair by the window, and was now off in his own little world. The others all snickered.

"And that, ladies and gentlemen..." Mikado said. "Is how you shut him up."

Ryou giggled softly and nuzzled Marik. "What would happen if I..." He said waving a hand, the scroll disappearing in a blink.

Ahmose blinked. "Hey!!! Why did you...? Where'd it go?!"

"He gets loud." Mikado said, and everyone burst out laughing.

Ryou giggled more. "You zoned out on us." He cooed, the scroll appearing in his hands. "Were you having fun?"

Ahmose blinked. "Fun?" He asked, as though he'd never heard of the word.

"Yeah. Fun." Mikado said. "I know you're experienced it. Once or twice. Over the last twenty years."

"Oh, fuck you, Mikado." Ahmose growled.

Ryou giggled. "It can be arranged." He cooed impishly.

Both brothers’ eyes widened, and they fixed horrified looks on Ryou, then each other. "EEEEEWWW!!!!"

Ryou giggled loudly and clapped his hands. "Be careful, or I might feel that bonding time is in order!" he giggled smiling brightly.

Mikado stared at Ryou, then slowly turned to Ahmose. "Can I go to the dojo now?"

Ryou snapped and Mikado was gone. "Done."

Ahmose blinked. "Where's my brother?!"

"at his Dojo." Ryou said calmly. "He said he wanted to go."

Ahmose blinked again. "Oh... ummm... okay...."

Ryou wiggled the scroll at Ahmose. "Want?"

Ahmose frowned. "I am not a dog, and I will not beg for it, nor fetch it like the morning paper." He said stiffly.

"Gods Ahmose. Take that stick out of your ass, hmm?" Marik asked, and Ahmose gave him the finger.

Ryou giggled, tossing the scroll into the lit fireplace.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!?!" Ahmose howled, leaping for the fire. He pulled the scroll out and beat out the flames. "What's the matter with you, it...." He blinked when he saw the way everyone was looking at him. Then he groaned and let his chin fall to his chest.

Ryou giggled. "Master Ahmose, I'm a genie, I can burn it a million times, and then bring it right back." He said calmly. "What's wrong with you? You should know that."

Ahmose glared and stood. "I don't have to take this." And he turned his glare to include Marik and Yami. "I'm going home, I have a paper to work on. Yugi, you want a ride?"

Ryou frowned. "Master Ahmose... I'm sorry." He said softly. "I-if you promise to help me, I... I'll give you your library.

Ahmose blinked. "My... library? What? Help you how?" He asked, pausing the task of fishing his keys out of his pocket.

"H-help master Marik wish me free... I don’t want to be punished anymore... I've been a good slave... f-for nearly 35 hundred years..." Ryou mumbled softly. "I... I want t-to have my punishment lifted..."

Ahmose blinked. "Help him wish you free? How the hell can I do that? Can't he just say 'I wish you free'?"

Ryou shook his head. "You ...and master pharaoh are alive... I... cannot be freed while you live..." he said softly. "Please... there must be some way... I don’t want to spend... eternity like this."

Ahmose blinked. "Are you asking us to commit suicide or something?" He balked.

Ryou gasped and shook his head. "NEVER! I... I was hoping you'd find a way to wish me free... without having to die again..."

Ahmose blinked. "How... how would I be able to do that?!" He asked, throwing his hands up into the air.

Ryou waved his hands, and a pile of scrolls, as tall as Ahmose and four times as wide appeared before him. "T-they're your scrolls… s-surely... one of them..." Ryou said hopefully.

Ahmose, Marik, Yami and Yugi's jaws dropped. "You... you expect me to... read all of these?! In how much time?!" Ahmose cried. Marik nodded in agreement.

"Wouldn't it just be easier for you to, I dunno... give him back his memories... since he's a reincarnation or something...?" Ryou's master asked.

Ryou nodded. "b-but that could... be bad...." he said softly. "He could go insane..."

Marik grinned. "Really?! COOL!!! Let's see it!" Ahmose gave Marik a look.

Ryou frowned. "If he goes insane I'll NEVER be free!" Ryou said pouting.

"What if I wished for him to remember, AND keep his sanity?" Marik asked.

"Then he'd just be mad." Ryou said softly.

"Mad as in, Mad Hatter mad, or usual Ahmose mad?" Marik asked, and Yami and Yugi laughed.

"As in turn you into a Genie mad." Ryou said softly. " And HE!" he said pointing at Yami. "Would just egg him on!"

Marik blinked. "But they would just be memories, Ryou. Would it really change who they ARE?"

Ryou frowned. “They would go through shock... it's not memories... it's who they are. Having... two lives occupy the same span of memory..." he said softly. "It would be hard for them to comprehend some things for a while... can you imagine having lived before, and died and suddenly remembering all of that life, up to the last breath in a new life?"

"Actually it would be very interesting. And it could help advance my career in Egyptology..." Ahmose mused, cocking his head.

Ryou nodded slowly. "ok... b-but only if you're sure... a-and master wishes it so,..."

Marik sighed and smiled. "Yami? You wanna remember being a Pharaoh?" He asked.

Yami blinked. "Depends... make him remember first, and I'll ask him if I was a flaming asshole or not."

Marik rolled his eyes. "You're a flaming asshole anyway, Yami."

"no, just a funny asshole, I mean a real flaming 'thou must perish before me!' flaming bastardous asshole bent on world domination." Yami said calmly. "I dont want to remember me, if that's how I was. heh, I'd rather think I was a little less... demented."

Marik snorted. "Whatever. Ryou, I wish for Ahmose to remember his previous life in Egypt and maintain all mental health in the process."

"Oh, thanks." Ahmose snorted sarcastically.

Ryou giggled softly and got up walking over to Ahmose and smiling. He kissed his forehead and that was all it took, for waves of memories to practically overwhelm the teen.

Ahmose blinked, then let out a strangled scream, clutching his skull and stumbling back before falling to the floor, writhing and convulsing involuntarily. The other leapt to their feet to run to him, but a sudden shockwave came from Ahmose, knocking everyone flat on their backs.

Ryou sat on his cushion of air, once again protected from falling by the invisible force. "See? I told you!"

"HOLY SHIT!!!" Marik yelped as suddenly the ground began to tremble in an earthquake. Yugi screamed and clung to the sofa, while Yami scrambled under a table as things fell off of shelves. Then, about 30 seconds later, everything grew quiet, and Ahmose with it…

I now have an account on DeviantArt! Go check it out! It's under hatochiisai of course!!!


Elle-FaTe2x1: Well, he is the ONLY one that can set Ryou free...

itavita: Of course they're fucking. What else would they be doing? But really, making Bakura more endowed? Behave, girl!!! Bad!!! And yes, the big ass wish WAS funny! ^_^

naria: We all wish we had a Ryou, dear. We all do... And why does everyone think Ahmose is gonna be a bad guy? Sure, he made Ryou a genie, but he regretted it even BEFORE he did it!!! Um, and as for Malik... he DID wish that it had never happened. So technically... it didn't. All that remains is Malik's regretting something he knew he did, but can't remember what.

A: : Umm...Marik isn't gonna die, sweetie... but yeah, he is being a bit reckless with his wishes.

sglily: Yes, I am evil. And yes, Marik is getting reckless with his wishes...

ruri_star: Thank you!!! ^_^

laineyue: Glad I could brighten your day, dear.
