Chapter Sixteen
by Ravenx
Yami rolls over in bed, the light blue sheets tangling in his long bare legs, his arms reaching out to the other side of the mattress to find nothing. Slowly dark purple eyes open before quickly shutting as the bright sun from the window pours into his eyes, he groans as he sits up, stretching his hands over his head. Yawning he looks around the room to find it empty, bending down he grabs a pair of black track pants, slipping them over his nude form as he moves across the white carpet toward the door.
“Yugi?”
“Right here, Yami.” Yugi comes out of the bathroom to the left of their room, a weary smile on his face.
“What’s wrong?”
“I was sick.”
“Are you alright?” Yami’s hand instantly goes up to his lover’s forehead.
“I just feel a little sick to my stomach, must be first day of school nerves.” Yugi shrugs.
The two tri-colored haired boys turn at the sound of a door being yanked open and bouncing off the wall to see Malik running out of the room at the end of the hall in a pair of black boxers, his hands held over his mouth. The pale blonde quickly runs into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him as his lover comes slowly out after him, a confused look on Marik’s face.
“What’s wrong?” Yugi asks.
“I don’t know. We were just having a little fun and then he ran out.” Marik shrugs, as he pulls at the waistband of his own black boxers.
“I hope you two aren’t getting sick you’re first week of school.” Yami frowns.
“Shorty is sick too?”
“I just got a little sick to my stomach when I woke up. I wonder if Ryou is sick too.”
“Don’t know, let’s find out.” Marik grins as he marches over to the room in front of Yami and Yugi’s, his fist rapping hard on the wood.
“What?” The door opens several minutes later with an angry looking Bakura growling.
“Ryou sick?”
“What?”
“Is your hikari sick?” Marik asks slower.
“Why?”
“Cause ours are.” He points over his shoulder at the other two boys. “So is yours?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t seen him yet.”
“What do you mean?” Yugi asks around the large pale blonde.
“I just woke up because of someone banging on the door.” Bakura growls at Marik. “He is in the shower, I think. Now go away.” The white haired yami slams the door in the pale blonde’s face.
“Never was a morning person.” Marik mumbles as he turns toward the bathroom door. “How long were you sick, shorty?”
“A couple of minutes.”
“Do you feel like going to school?” Yami asks his lover.
“I have to. I can’t miss the first day. Besides, I’m kinda feeling a little better now. Hungry actually.”
“You go get dressed, I’ll go downstairs and make you something for breakfast. What do you what?”
“I can get it in when I’m done.”
“No, tell me what you’d like?”
“Mmm…pancakes.”
“Okay.”
“Oh, would you two just shut up already. You’re making me sick.” Marik groans.
“Stay out of it, Tomb Keeper.” Yami growls.
“Ignore him, Yami.” Yugi smiles as he slips back into the guest room that he and Yami stays in.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“Something smells good.” Malik says as he walking through the swinging door leading to the kitchen, his navy school uniform covering his form.
“Yami made pancakes. Are you feeling better?” Yugi leans against the island, a plate half filled with food in front of him, his own uniform in place.
“Much better. I don’t know what got into me.”
“Not me.” Marik pouts from his position opposite Yugi, a large stack of pancakes mostly eaten on his plate.
“Sorry, Marik. Maybe tonight I’ll make it up to you.” Malik walks over to his yami, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek.
“Don’t talk about that while we’re trying to eat.” Yami stands next to his lover, a look of disgust on his face.
“Jealous, Pharaoh?”
“Hardly.”
“I don’t want to go to school.” Malik pouts as he fixes a plate.
“Neither do I but just think, this is our last year.” Yugi smiles.
“But we still have a year to go.”
“At least me and you are in every class together.”
“That is a good thing.” Malik nods.
“Don’t forget, Yami, that we’re getting out of school an hour and a half early this year.”
“I won’t, I’ll be out front like usual.”
“You and Bakura going to meet with us too?” The pale blonde asks his yami.
“Don’t know.”
“Don’t know what?” Bakura asks as he steps into the kitchen, a pair of loose gray cotton pajama pants hanging low on his slim hips.
“If we’ll go with the Pharaoh to pick them up after school.” Marik says around a mouthful of food.
“Is Ryou sick?” Yugi asks.
“Not that I know of.”
“Where is he?” Malik looks to the door of the kitchen.
“Getting his book bag loaded up.”
“I did mine last night so I wouldn’t have to rush this morning.” Yugi smiles.
“Well, we were a little busy last night.” Bakura smirks as he fixes a plate for himself, pouring a large amount of syrup on his pancakes.
“Should you be having that much sugar?” Malik raises an eyebrow.
“Mind your own business.”
“Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”
“No, someone woke up to someone else banging on his door.” Bakura growls as he looks to the larger pale blonde.
“They wanted me to.” Marik points to the two tri-colored haired boys.
“We did not!” Yugi shakes his head. “We were only wondering if Ryou was sick like me and Malik were this morning. We didn’t tell you to go banging on his door.”
“Whatever.” Dark violet eyes roll up toward the ceiling.
“Good morning all.” Ryou smiles as he enters the kitchen, his navy uniform fitting his slim form nicely.
“Morning, Ryou.” Yugi waves at his friends as he moves to clean off his plate in the sink. “Yami will make pancakes if you want any.”
“Uh…not thank you.” Ryou wrinkles up his nose slightly.
“I wouldn’t eat the Pharaoh’s cooking either but I’m hungry.” Bakura says.
“Oh, no, it’s not that. It’s just the smell is making me a little sick. I think I’ll go into the living room and wait for you guys.”
“Did you throw up this morning?” Malik asks.
“No, why?” Ryou stops at the kitchen door, turning to look at the pale blonde.
“Me and Yugi did, just wondering if we’re all coming down with something or if it’s just us being nervous the first day of school.”
“I don’t know. Maybe it will get better before the week is up.” Smiling the white haired hikari leaves for the living room.
“Joey and Seto said they’d meet up in front of the school, they have to drop Mokuba off first.” Yugi yawns as he places his cleaned plate on the rack next to the sink to dry.
“Are they coming over here after school?” Yami asks.
“I don’t know. I’ll ask them.”
“We should order pizza and have a ‘We Survived the First Day Back to School’ party.” Malik smiles.
“Chances are we will be piled high with homework though.”
“So we’ll make it a ‘We Survived the First Day Back to School and Now We Have to Do Stupid Homework’ party.” The pale blonde shrugs.
“Crazy but okay.” Yugi giggles.
“Do you have any classes with the others, chibi ichi?” Yami asks as he moves to the sink with his empty plate.
“I don’t know. We haven’t really talked to each other in a long time. It’s like after we started really going out they just got lives of their own without us.” Yugi pouts.
“At least we don’t have to deal with Tea.” Malik smiles widely.
“That’s true.” The smallest boy smiles. “She did have a way of getting on your nerves fast.”
“No kidding.” Marik and Bakura say at once, the two looking up at each other with equal smirks on their faces.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“I swear each year gets harder and harder to get through.” Malik sighs as he walks out of the school building with his friends, a couple other students moving around them as they stop on the front steps.
“That’s why we took all the really hard classes this semester and saved the easier ones for our last semester.” Yugi smiles.
“Just keep reminding me of that.”
“It wasn’t that bad.” Ryou shakes his head.
“If you say so.” Joey sighs as he leans his head onto Seto’s upper arm.
“Oh, I forgot to ask, do you two want to come over to Ryou’s house? Malik was thinking about ordering pizza.” Yugi asks.
“Sounds fun.” The sandy blonde nods.
“I guess so, I still have a while before I have to pick up Mokuba.” Seto says as he looks down at his silver watch.
“Besides, you have to do your homework before you can go to work.” Joey smiles sweetly up at his lover.
“So it’s a deal then.” Yugi smiles.
“Uh…Yugi, where is Yami?” Ryou looks around the now deserted campus.
“I told him not to forget to come an hour and a half early.” The smaller boy sighs as he walks down the steps followed by his friends.
“Come with us in the limo, it will be faster.” Joey says as he moves toward the long black limo by the sidewalk in front of the school.
“Okay.” Malik follows after the sandy blonde.
“Wonder where Yami is.” Yugi keeps searching around for his lover.
“He probably just forgot.” Ryou says as he waits for Seto and Joey to get into the car before following them.
“How much homework do you and Seto have, Ryou?” Joey asks as the others climb into the limo.
“A couple worksheets and some reading.”
“That’s about like us.” Malik says from in between Ryou and Yugi.
“Did you two have fun in art?” Yugi asks the sandy blonde.
“It was pretty cool. The teacher is kinda out of her mind so all we have to do is draw or paint or even sculpt. I think its going to be my favorite class.” Joey smiles.
“And the fact that your lover is there with you is just an added bonus, right?” Malik grins.
“I never pictured you two painting. Why did you sign up for the class?” Ryou slaps the pale blonde next to him on the thigh.
“Well, I really just wanted an easy class this semester but I have been wanting to learn how to draw since I’ve been with Seto.”
“Why?” Malik asks.
“Because…” Joey looks up at his lover, receiving a nod he turns his attention back to the others. “Seto draws and paints. He is really great at it and I thought it would be nice to have something other than Duel Monsters in common with him.”
“You draw, Seto?” Yugi’s large light purple eyes look toward the brunette.
“Yes. I have for some time now.”
“You guys will have to come over to the mansion sometime and see some more of his paintings.”
“More of his paintings?” Ryou frowns in confusion.
“You know the paintings at the beach house? Well, Seto painted those.” Joey says proudly.
“Really? Wow, those were great.” Yugi says in shock.
“There really were, Seto. I had no idea you were an artist.” Ryou smiles at the brunette.
“Thanks.” Seto nods, his ice blue eyes looking out at the passing scenery.
“Malik, are you alright?” Joey asks as the pale blonde sits with his head back ad eyes closed, a small hand on his stomach.
“Yeah, just a little stomach ache all of a sudden.”
“Are you going to get sick again?” Ryou turns in his seat to face the pale blonde, one of his hands reaching out to touch Malik’s forehead. “You aren’t hot.”
“If you’re going to be sick don’t do it in the car.” Seto says.
“Seto, be nice.” Joey leans forward slightly. “He was sick already today?”
“This morning he and Yugi were. But by the time we got to school they were feeling find again.”
“Joey was too.” The brunette speaks up.
“You were sick, Joey?” Yugi questions the sandy blonde.
“I woke up with my stomach hurting, I barely got to the bathroom in time before I puked.”
“Could we please not mention puking.” Malik groans.
“Sorry.”
“I’ll be fine as long as we get home and I stop talking.”
“Okay. We should be home in just a few more minutes.” Ryou runs his hand through the thick pale blonde hair of his friend as everyone stops talking, the back of the limo suddenly filled with silence.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“We’re home guys.” Ryou calls as he opens the door to his house, stepping into the small entranceway with the others right behind him.
“Are you feeling better, Malik?” Yugi asks as he shuts the door behind them.
“Much better, I don’t know why I didn’t feel good but now I’m hungry. I say we order pizza.”
“He is incredible.” Joey rolls his honey eyes.
“We can order pizza and start on our home…well…this is sight I never thought I’d see.” Seto smirks as he stops in the open doorway leading toward the living room.
The other shorter boys mover around him to stare wide-eyed at the scene in front of them, their mouths hanging open in shock before they all start giggling. Sitting in the large white chair facing the doorway sits Yami, his black leather pants and black tank top torn in several places, grass stains on his bare arms and some on his face, his spiky tri-colored hair littered with leaves. Thick robes wrap around his torso and the chair as well as around his feet and the chair keeping him in place, several pieces of duct tape keeping his wrists tied together in his lap. His narrowed dark purple eyes stare at the others in the doorway, his duct tape covered mouth moved with only grunts coming out.
“Oh, Yami! What happened?” Yugi quickly runs to his lover, his hands trying to cover up his laughing.
“I so have a bad feeling about this.” Ryou looks up the stairs for a moment. “I’ll go see if their up stairs.”
“I’ll look in the kitchen and dining room.” Malik grins as he holds his sides and moves to the door at the back of the sofa.
“We’ll help you, Yug.” Joey smiles, placing his book bag on the sofa next to where Yugi dropped his before moving over to Yami’s side.
“Oh, poor baby. This is going to hurt.” Yugi smiles sweetly at his lover as he grabs the end of the duct tape over Yami’s mouth, pulling quickly.
“OW!” Yami yells, his mouth stretching open a couple of times.
“Sorry.”
“It’s alright, chibi ichi. It had to be done.”
“Not in the dining room.” Malik announces as he walks through the swinging door of the kitchen.
“I can’t get these knots untied.” Joey shakes his head. “Malik, bring in a sharp knife.” He yells in the direction of the kitchen.
“How long have you been like this, Yami?” Yugi starts trying to pull the tape off his yami’s wrists.
“About an hour.” Yami growls.
“Seto, help me.” Joey looks over at his lover who sits in the chair opposite Yami.
“Nope, this is too entertaining.”
“They aren’t in the kitchen either. Here’s you’re knife, Joey.” Malik hands the long blade to the sandy blonde before moving to the other side of the bound yami, his hands starting to help Yugi with the tape.
“What did they do to you?” The smallest boy asks.
“They surprised me when I was in the backyard reading. We started rolling around in the grass, punching and kicking and before I knew it they had me pinned. Next thing I know I have duct tape over my mouth and around my hands as they drug me here and tied me up.”
“I wish I was here to see that.” Seto smirks.
“I was out numbered two to one. It wasn’t fair.” Yami growls.
“I’m sorry, Yami. I’ll be sure to punish Marik later.” Malik smiles at the tri-colored haired hostage.
“I’m sure you will.” Yami nods his head.
“There, first rope is cut.” Joey gets down on his knees to work on the rope around Yami’s legs and the chair.
“They aren’t upstairs. Did you find them down here?” Ryou asks as he comes into the living room.
“Nope. They must have left the house.” Malik says as he and Yugi get the tape off of Yami’s wrists.
“Okay, you are officially freed, Yami.” Joey stands with the cut up rope in his hands.
“Thank you.” Yami slowly gets to his feet with a little help from his hikari, his feet unsteady for a moment.
“Let’s go get you a shower.” Yugi wraps an arm around his yami’s waist as Yami’s arm moves around his shoulder, the two start toward the stairs.
“What are you two going to do about the missing yamis?” Joey asks as he moves to sit on the sofa.
“I have no idea. All I know is that when Bakura gets home I’m going to kill him.” Ryou grabs his bag sitting in the doorway of the living room and moves back over to sit on the opposite side of the sofa as Joey.
“You aren’t going to go looking for them?”
“Nope. I’m so made right now I don’t care what happens to them.” Ryou smiles sweetly at the sandy blonde as he takes out his books.
“Same here.” Malik nods, sitting down in the chair Yami was tied to. “Can we order pizza now?”
“Lets wait a while, it’s too early. We just had lunch.” Ryou says.
“But I want pizza.”
“I’ll go by and get some when I go pick up Mokuba.” Seto lifts his silver briefcase up onto the coffee table, popping it open and removing a book.
“I thought you had to go to the office today.” Joey looks over at his lover.
“I do. The limo will pick up Mokuba, drop me off, and go by and get pizza which I’ll order by phone on my way to pick up Mokuba.”
“I guess I can wait that long.” Malik pouts.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“I can’t believe you. How could you do that to Yami? I thought I could trust you not to make an idiot of yourself for one day while I was at school. I can’t stay home and baby-sit you all day, you have to learn how to be a mature person. Don’t try and talk. Am I done talking yet? I don’t think so, my mouth is still moving therefore more words are coming out. Wait until I’m finished before you start talking.”
Yugi and Joey stand at the bottom of the stairs, their eyes going from looking up to looking at each other before giggling quietly. Yami sits on the sofa in the living room, a wide smile on his face as he flips through the television channels. Suddenly there is a light knock on the door causing Joey to move away from his smaller friend to answer it.
“Hey, little man.” Joey smiles as Mokuba enters the house with a backpack over his shoulder and several pizzas stacked in his hands, a gray uniform covering his small frame.
“Hey, Joey. Pizzas are here.” The black haired boy looks at Yugi who is still giggling. “What’s going on?”
“Bakura and Marik tied Yami up and ran off, now that they are back Ryou and Malik are yelling at them.”
“Oh. Where do I take the pizzas, their getting a little hot.”
“Here, give me some. We can take them to the kitchen, you hungry?” Joey takes several boxes before moving through the living room and into the kitchen.
“I’m starving. Hey, Yami.” Mokuba smiles at the taller boy on the sofa.
“Hey, kid.”
“So, how was the first day back to school?” Joey sits his boxes on the island as he turns to get some paper plates down from the top of the refrigerator.
“Okay I guess. A little boring but I have some friends in a couple of my classes.”
“That’s great.”
“Yeah. Oh, Seto told me to tell you that he expects us home at no later than eight for supper and that we had both better have our homework done.” Mokuba shakes his head.
“Is he my boyfriend or father?” Joey laughs.
“I know. Sometimes I think he is more of a father to me than a brother.”
“At least he cares for us. Which kind of pizza do you want?”
“Pepperoni.”
“Me too, please.” Yugi comes into the room with a big smile on his face.
“What’s going on now?”
“They are still yelling at them and I could have sworn I heard someone get slapped.”
“Is Yami alright?” Mokuba asks the tri-colored haired boy that is about the same height as he is.
“Yeah, just mad but right now he is kinda happy cause they are getting into trouble. Do you have a lot of homework?”
“A ton.” The raven haired boy pouts.
“We’ve been working on ours in the living room, just took a break when the bakas showed up.” Joey states.
“Will you guys help me study for a test I have tomorrow in math?”
“Yeah, but you had best ask Ryou. He is like a math wiz.” Yugi smiles as he bites into his pizza.
“You think they will be done yelling soon?” Joey asks.
“I have no idea. Come on, let’s get back to work.”
“Can we eat in the living room?” Mokuba asks.
“Yes as long as you’re very careful.” Joey smiles at the younger boy as they move into the living room through the swinging door.

“Good morning all.” Ryou smiles as he enters the kitchen, his navy uniform fitting his slim form nicely.
“Morning, Ryou.” Yugi waves at his friends as he moves to clean off his plate in the sink. “Yami will make pancakes if you want any.”
“Uh…not thank you.” Ryou wrinkles up his nose slightly.
“I wouldn’t eat the Pharaoh’s cooking either but I’m hungry.” Bakura says.
“Oh, no, it’s not that. It’s just the smell is making me a little sick. I think I’ll go into the living room and wait for you guys.”
“Did you throw up this morning?” Malik asks.
“No, why?” Ryou stops at the kitchen door, turning to look at the pale blonde.
“Me and Yugi did, just wondering if we’re all coming down with something or if it’s just us being nervous the first day of school.”
“I don’t know. Maybe it will get better before the week is up.” Smiling the white haired hikari leaves for the living room.
“Joey and Seto said they’d meet up in front of the school, they have to drop Mokuba off first.” Yugi yawns as he places his cleaned plate on the rack next to the sink to dry.
“Are they coming over here after school?” Yami asks.
“I don’t know. I’ll ask them.”
“We should order pizza and have a ‘We Survived the First Day Back to School’ party.” Malik smiles.
“Chances are we will be piled high with homework though.”
“So we’ll make it a ‘We Survived the First Day Back to School and Now We Have to Do Stupid Homework’ party.” The pale blonde shrugs.
“Crazy but okay.” Yugi giggles.
“Do you have any classes with the others, chibi ichi?” Yami asks as he moves to the sink with his empty plate.
“I don’t know. We haven’t really talked to each other in a long time. It’s like after we started really going out they just got lives of their own without us.” Yugi pouts.
“At least we don’t have to deal with Tea.” Malik smiles widely.
“That’s true.” The smallest boy smiles. “She did have a way of getting on your nerves fast.”
“No kidding.” Marik and Bakura say at once, the two looking up at each other with equal smirks on their faces.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“I swear each year gets harder and harder to get through.” Malik sighs as he walks out of the school building with his friends, a couple other students moving around them as they stop on the front steps.
“That’s why we took all the really hard classes this semester and saved the easier ones for our last semester.” Yugi smiles.
“Just keep reminding me of that.”
“It wasn’t that bad.” Ryou shakes his head.
“If you say so.” Joey sighs as he leans his head onto Seto’s upper arm.
“Oh, I forgot to ask, do you two want to come over to Ryou’s house? Malik was thinking about ordering pizza.” Yugi asks.
“Sounds fun.” The sandy blonde nods.
“I guess so, I still have a while before I have to pick up Mokuba.” Seto says as he looks down at his silver watch.
“Besides, you have to do your homework before you can go to work.” Joey smiles sweetly up at his lover.
“So it’s a deal then.” Yugi smiles.
“Uh…Yugi, where is Yami?” Ryou looks around the now deserted campus.
“I told him not to forget to come an hour and a half early.” The smaller boy sighs as he walks down the steps followed by his friends.
“Come with us in the limo, it will be faster.” Joey says as he moves toward the long black limo by the sidewalk in front of the school.
“Okay.” Malik follows after the sandy blonde.
“Wonder where Yami is.” Yugi keeps searching around for his lover.
“He probably just forgot.” Ryou says as he waits for Seto and Joey to get into the car before following them.
“How much homework do you and Seto have, Ryou?” Joey asks as the others climb into the limo.
“A couple worksheets and some reading.”
“That’s about like us.” Malik says from in between Ryou and Yugi.
“Did you two have fun in art?” Yugi asks the sandy blonde.
“It was pretty cool. The teacher is kinda out of her mind so all we have to do is draw or paint or even sculpt. I think its going to be my favorite class.” Joey smiles.
“And the fact that your lover is there with you is just an added bonus, right?” Malik grins.
“I never pictured you two painting. Why did you sign up for the class?” Ryou slaps the pale blonde next to him on the thigh.
“Well, I really just wanted an easy class this semester but I have been wanting to learn how to draw since I’ve been with Seto.”
“Why?” Malik asks.
“Because…” Joey looks up at his lover, receiving a nod he turns his attention back to the others. “Seto draws and paints. He is really great at it and I thought it would be nice to have something other than Duel Monsters in common with him.”
“You draw, Seto?” Yugi’s large light purple eyes look toward the brunette.
“Yes. I have for some time now.”
“You guys will have to come over to the mansion sometime and see some more of his paintings.”
“More of his paintings?” Ryou frowns in confusion.
“You know the paintings at the beach house? Well, Seto painted those.” Joey says proudly.
“Really? Wow, those were great.” Yugi says in shock.
“There really were, Seto. I had no idea you were an artist.” Ryou smiles at the brunette.
“Thanks.” Seto nods, his ice blue eyes looking out at the passing scenery.
“Malik, are you alright?” Joey asks as the pale blonde sits with his head back ad eyes closed, a small hand on his stomach.
“Yeah, just a little stomach ache all of a sudden.”
“Are you going to get sick again?” Ryou turns in his seat to face the pale blonde, one of his hands reaching out to touch Malik’s forehead. “You aren’t hot.”
“If you’re going to be sick don’t do it in the car.” Seto says.
“Seto, be nice.” Joey leans forward slightly. “He was sick already today?”
“This morning he and Yugi were. But by the time we got to school they were feeling find again.”
“Joey was too.” The brunette speaks up.
“You were sick, Joey?” Yugi questions the sandy blonde.
“I woke up with my stomach hurting, I barely got to the bathroom in time before I puked.”
“Could we please not mention puking.” Malik groans.
“Sorry.”
“I’ll be fine as long as we get home and I stop talking.”
“Okay. We should be home in just a few more minutes.” Ryou runs his hand through the thick pale blonde hair of his friend as everyone stops talking, the back of the limo suddenly filled with silence.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“We’re home guys.” Ryou calls as he opens the door to his house, stepping into the small entranceway with the others right behind him.
“Are you feeling better, Malik?” Yugi asks as he shuts the door behind them.
“Much better, I don’t know why I didn’t feel good but now I’m hungry. I say we order pizza.”
“He is incredible.” Joey rolls his honey eyes.
“We can order pizza and start on our home…well…this is sight I never thought I’d see.” Seto smirks as he stops in the open doorway leading toward the living room.
The other shorter boys mover around him to stare wide-eyed at the scene in front of them, their mouths hanging open in shock before they all start giggling. Sitting in the large white chair facing the doorway sits Yami, his black leather pants and black tank top torn in several places, grass stains on his bare arms and some on his face, his spiky tri-colored hair littered with leaves. Thick robes wrap around his torso and the chair as well as around his feet and the chair keeping him in place, several pieces of duct tape keeping his wrists tied together in his lap. His narrowed dark purple eyes stare at the others in the doorway, his duct tape covered mouth moved with only grunts coming out.
“Oh, Yami! What happened?” Yugi quickly runs to his lover, his hands trying to cover up his laughing.
“I so have a bad feeling about this.” Ryou looks up the stairs for a moment. “I’ll go see if their up stairs.”
“I’ll look in the kitchen and dining room.” Malik grins as he holds his sides and moves to the door at the back of the sofa.
“We’ll help you, Yug.” Joey smiles, placing his book bag on the sofa next to where Yugi dropped his before moving over to Yami’s side.
“Oh, poor baby. This is going to hurt.” Yugi smiles sweetly at his lover as he grabs the end of the duct tape over Yami’s mouth, pulling quickly.
“OW!” Yami yells, his mouth stretching open a couple of times.
“Sorry.”
“It’s alright, chibi ichi. It had to be done.”
“Not in the dining room.” Malik announces as he walks through the swinging door of the kitchen.
“I can’t get these knots untied.” Joey shakes his head. “Malik, bring in a sharp knife.” He yells in the direction of the kitchen.
“How long have you been like this, Yami?” Yugi starts trying to pull the tape off his yami’s wrists.
“About an hour.” Yami growls.
“Seto, help me.” Joey looks over at his lover who sits in the chair opposite Yami.
“Nope, this is too entertaining.”
“They aren’t in the kitchen either. Here’s you’re knife, Joey.” Malik hands the long blade to the sandy blonde before moving to the other side of the bound yami, his hands starting to help Yugi with the tape.
“What did they do to you?” The smallest boy asks.
“They surprised me when I was in the backyard reading. We started rolling around in the grass, punching and kicking and before I knew it they had me pinned. Next thing I know I have duct tape over my mouth and around my hands as they drug me here and tied me up.”
“I wish I was here to see that.” Seto smirks.
“I was out numbered two to one. It wasn’t fair.” Yami growls.
“I’m sorry, Yami. I’ll be sure to punish Marik later.” Malik smiles at the tri-colored haired hostage.
“I’m sure you will.” Yami nods his head.
“There, first rope is cut.” Joey gets down on his knees to work on the rope around Yami’s legs and the chair.
“They aren’t upstairs. Did you find them down here?” Ryou asks as he comes into the living room.
“Nope. They must have left the house.” Malik says as he and Yugi get the tape off of Yami’s wrists.
“Okay, you are officially freed, Yami.” Joey stands with the cut up rope in his hands.
“Thank you.” Yami slowly gets to his feet with a little help from his hikari, his feet unsteady for a moment.
“Let’s go get you a shower.” Yugi wraps an arm around his yami’s waist as Yami’s arm moves around his shoulder, the two start toward the stairs.
“What are you two going to do about the missing yamis?” Joey asks as he moves to sit on the sofa.
“I have no idea. All I know is that when Bakura gets home I’m going to kill him.” Ryou grabs his bag sitting in the doorway of the living room and moves back over to sit on the opposite side of the sofa as Joey.
“You aren’t going to go looking for them?”
“Nope. I’m so made right now I don’t care what happens to them.” Ryou smiles sweetly at the sandy blonde as he takes out his books.
“Same here.” Malik nods, sitting down in the chair Yami was tied to. “Can we order pizza now?”
“Lets wait a while, it’s too early. We just had lunch.” Ryou says.
“But I want pizza.”
“I’ll go by and get some when I go pick up Mokuba.” Seto lifts his silver briefcase up onto the coffee table, popping it open and removing a book.
“I thought you had to go to the office today.” Joey looks over at his lover.
“I do. The limo will pick up Mokuba, drop me off, and go by and get pizza which I’ll order by phone on my way to pick up Mokuba.”
“I guess I can wait that long.” Malik pouts.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“I can’t believe you. How could you do that to Yami? I thought I could trust you not to make an idiot of yourself for one day while I was at school. I can’t stay home and baby-sit you all day, you have to learn how to be a mature person. Don’t try and talk. Am I done talking yet? I don’t think so, my mouth is still moving therefore more words are coming out. Wait until I’m finished before you start talking.”
Yugi and Joey stand at the bottom of the stairs, their eyes going from looking up to looking at each other before giggling quietly. Yami sits on the sofa in the living room, a wide smile on his face as he flips through the television channels. Suddenly there is a light knock on the door causing Joey to move away from his smaller friend to answer it.
“Hey, little man.” Joey smiles as Mokuba enters the house with a backpack over his shoulder and several pizzas stacked in his hands, a gray uniform covering his small frame.
“Hey, Joey. Pizzas are here.” The black haired boy looks at Yugi who is still giggling. “What’s going on?”
“Bakura and Marik tied Yami up and ran off, now that they are back Ryou and Malik are yelling at them.”
“Oh. Where do I take the pizzas, their getting a little hot.”
“Here, give me some. We can take them to the kitchen, you hungry?” Joey takes several boxes before moving through the living room and into the kitchen.
“I’m starving. Hey, Yami.” Mokuba smiles at the taller boy on the sofa.
“Hey, kid.”
“So, how was the first day back to school?” Joey sits his boxes on the island as he turns to get some paper plates down from the top of the refrigerator.
“Okay I guess. A little boring but I have some friends in a couple of my classes.”
“That’s great.”
“Yeah. Oh, Seto told me to tell you that he expects us home at no later than eight for supper and that we had both better have our homework done.” Mokuba shakes his head.
“Is he my boyfriend or father?” Joey laughs.
“I know. Sometimes I think he is more of a father to me than a brother.”
“At least he cares for us. Which kind of pizza do you want?”
“Pepperoni.”
“Me too, please.” Yugi comes into the room with a big smile on his face.
“What’s going on now?”
“They are still yelling at them and I could have sworn I heard someone get slapped.”
“Is Yami alright?” Mokuba asks the tri-colored haired boy that is about the same height as he is.
“Yeah, just mad but right now he is kinda happy cause they are getting into trouble. Do you have a lot of homework?”
“A ton.” The raven haired boy pouts.
“We’ve been working on ours in the living room, just took a break when the bakas showed up.” Joey states.
“Will you guys help me study for a test I have tomorrow in math?”
“Yeah, but you had best ask Ryou. He is like a math wiz.” Yugi smiles as he bites into his pizza.
“You think they will be done yelling soon?” Joey asks.
“I have no idea. Come on, let’s get back to work.”
“Can we eat in the living room?” Mokuba asks.
“Yes as long as you’re very careful.” Joey smiles at the younger boy as they move into the living room through the swinging door.
