Devils Sanctuary

Los Angeles,CA

The clicking of high heeled shoes echoed through the foyer of the lavishly

decorated Beverly Hills mansion. A petite scantly dressed woman carrying
a suitcase

tossed her car keys onto an end table. She kicked a pile of unwashed clothes
out of her

way and made a sour face at the messy state the house was in. There were
empty beer

cans laying around everywhere, and laundry was stacked up in the corners.

“Hello? Anybody home?” She called out into the empty house, but
she got no reply. After

setting down her suitcase, she made her way into the spacious, but very messy
kitchen

and looked in the refrigerator. There was a crumpled up fast food wrapper
on one shelf, 3

open half consumed beers, and a bottle ketchup.

Thean lan let out a frustrated sigh and closed the door.

She walked out of the kitchen, through the diningroom, and through the patio
doors that

lead to a vast back yard. Her high heeled shoes clicked on the tile as she
walked out to the

pool.

She spotted two slender, bleach blond young men laying out beside the pool
on beach

chairs sucking up the warm California sunshine.

“Hey guys! Look who’s back from New York!” she announced
excitedly.

The two men sat up slowly.

One of them slid his sunglasses down his nose and grinned.

“Hey baby, come on over here and give your favorite Ishtar a big kiss”

The woman smiled brightly as she threw herself into his arms.

“Mmm, Marik! I missed you so much!”

The other blonde stuck out his bottom lip and pouted playfully.

“What about me?” he whined.

“Malik...I missed you too!”

The woman squealed excitedly as she ran over, jumped in his lap, and gave
him a long

meaningful kiss.

“Mmm, you smell so good......So tell us how it went in New York, Caroline,
did you have

a good time?” Malik ask her curiously as he nuzzled her neck with his
nose.

Caroline’s eyes lit up like fireworks.

“It was awesome! After the photoshoot I went shopping, ate at some really
swanky

restaurants, took in a few sights, hit up the clubs at night.....the usual.
So what did you

guys do while I was away?

Marik shrugged his shoulders,

“Not much.”

Caroline nodded her head,

“Yes, I could see that. The house looks like shit.”

Marik laid back down on his beach chair and sighed as he ran his long tanned
fingers

through his bleach blond hair.

“It’ll clean itself. I’m not worried.”

Caroline rolled eye eyes as she looked at the letter she’d brought out
with her.

“Oh yeah, this was in the mail. It’s from Seto Kaiba.”

Marik sat up quickly.

“Give me that” he said reaching for the letter in Caroline’s
hand.

Marik looked over the envelope with the Blue Eyes White Dragon crest printed
on the

front.

“Yup, that’s Kaiba’s stationary alright. I wonder what’s
up”

“Open the fucking letter and find out dipshit” Malik retorted
apprehensively.

Marik ripped open the letter.

“It’s made out to all of us.” he nodded and began to read
it out loud.

“Greetings Marik, Malik, and Caroline. I hope all is well. The reason
I am writing is to

remind you about the record release party on the 18th of next month in Hollywood.
If

there is any reason you cannot attend, please let me know immediately. Thank
you and

hope to see you next month. Seto Kaiba, CEO.”

Caroline looked at Marik and Malik curiously,

“Record release party? Why didn’t you tell me!”

Marik shrugged his shoulders and laid back down.

“I didn’t think it was that important.”

Caroline jumped up quickly.

“Well it is important Marik......and it’s in Hollywood! I’ll
need a new outfit!”

Malik chuckled lightly,

“Don’t you have enough outfits already?”

Caroline shook her head,

“No, I don’t. After I take a shower and get dressed in something
more comfy, I’m heading

down to Rodeo Drive to do some shopping. Either of you care to join me?”

Malik shook his head,

“No, I think I’ll just stay here all day. I need to work on my
tan.”

Marik nodded his head,

“I’ll go with you, as long as you buy me those 24 carat gold bracelets
I saw at Cartier

Jewelers”

“Anything you like babe.” she replied with a big smile as she ran
back into the house.

Windom, Kansas

“Ra-damned hideous creature! Get back here!” a man dressed in a
black t-shirt and

ripped up tight black jeans shouted as he chased after a very fat pig with
a steak knife.

“Bakura! Stop! I won’t let you eat Yami!” a man wearing only
blue denim overalls, who

looked very similar to the first, screamed as he ran close behind, wielding
a baseball bat.

“Fuck off Ryou! That pig is SUPPER!” Bakura hissed as he chased
after the pig. Ryou

was only a few paces behind him. Bakura was so preoccupied with making the
little pig his

meal, he didn’t see a bucket right in his path. Bakura’s foot came
down into the bucket,

causing him too lose his balance and fall forward; right into a big puddle
of mud. Ryou

couldn’t stop his momentum and ended up tripping over Bakura, and fell
in the mud next

to him.

A loud shot rang out from behind them.

“Bakura! Ryou! get your asses back in this house right now and clean
up that disgusting

fucking mess the dog made on the floor!” a woman wearing a red sun dress
screamed

from the porch as she reloaded a 20 gauge shot gun.

The two men stopped their pursuits and started walking slowly back to the
well kept white

farmhouse.

“Sorry Tany, I was going to clean it up, but I saw Bakura chasing Yami
around with a

knife. I had to stop him before he did something stupid!” Ryou whined.

Tany glared at Bakura,

“Don’t even THINK of eating Yami. He’s a good pig!”

Bakura stuck his bottom lip out and pouted.

“But Tany! That little fucker ate the entire pizza I made! I’m
fucking starving here!”

Tany crossed her arms.

“I don’t care if he ate your fucking Millennium Ring! Yami will
not be anybody’s supper,

not now, not ever.”

Bakura made a face at Ryou,

“I would have had that little fucker on a platter by now if you could
keep your mouth

shut.”

Ryou stuck his tongue out as they walked up the front steps.

“I’ll never let you eat Yami.”

After taking a shower cleaning up the disgusting mess the dog had made, Bakura,
an
and Ryou sat down to dinner with Tany.

“Did you pick up the things I ask you to get in town today?” Tany
ask as she opened a

Coke.

“Yeah, yeah” Bakura grumbled as he stabbed a piece of chicken
spitefully.

A storm began to move in as they ate their dinner. The lightning spider webbed
across the

sky.

“Looks like this one’s going to be bad, I’d better get the
animals in the barn” Bakura said

a bit too eagerly as he grabbed his steak knife and got up quickly.

“Hold on there ‘Kura. You just sit your boney ass down. I’LL
take care of the animals.”

Ryou said firmly as he got up and wiped his mouth off with a napkin.

“Hey, what’s this?” Tany ask as she picked up an envelope
with a Blue Eyes White

Dragon crest printed on the front.

“It’s from Seto Kaiba” she mused as she opened it. Tany cleared
her throat,

“Greetings Ryou, Bakura, and Tany. I hope all is well. The reason I
am writing is to

remind you about the record release party on the 18th of next month in Hollywood.
If

there is any reason you cannot attend, please let me know immediately. Thank and and

hope to see you next month. Seto Kaiba, CEO.”

“That’s right, your new record comes out next month.” she
noted.

“Hey, Marik, Malik and Caroline live near Hollywood. Maybe they’ll
let us stay at their

place when we’re out there” Ryou said as he pulled on his bright
yellow rain coat.

“That might be fun, I can call and ask” Tany nodded eagerly.

“Cool. I’ll be right backyou you replied as he ran out into
the pouring rain to get the

animals to shelter.

Bakura sat back down and began stabbing at his chicken again.

“Fucking hideous pig....You will be on this plate if it’s the last
thing I do” he growled to

himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A month later; One week before the record release party

“How do I look?” Caroline said nervously as she stepped infront
of the full length

mirror wearing a low cut gold tank top and a pair of skin tight black leather
pants that

laced up the sides.

“Picturesque as always, my dear” Malik nodded as he zipped up his
jeans.

**DINNNNNG-DONNNG**

“Oh shit! They’re here! MARRRRRIK! Can you get the door!”
Caroline yelled as she

slathered on her deep red lipstick.

Malik pulled on his black boots and didn’t bother putting on a shirt.

“Can you help me get this on?” Caroline pleaded, holding out a
sparkly gold necklace.

Malik nodded and stepped behind her and grinned as he moved her light colored
long

blond hair over her shoulder. Malik kissed her neck lightly and ran his hands
over her bare

shoulders.

“Mmm....you always smell so good....like raspberries...” he purred
in a sultry voice.

Caroline took a deep breath.

“Malik......not now......we have guests to tend to.”

The needy Egyptian dotted her exposed shoulders with light kisses as he rapped
his arms

around her waist.

“Awe, come on baby, you know it’s hard for me to keep my hands
off you, especially

when you’re all dolled up. C’mon honey, I can be quick.”

Caroline let out a little whimper,

“Malik.....we just can’t.....I really want to but,
but.....guests.....oooh...gods....don’t stop,

that feels good”

Malik slid his thumbs down through the waistband of her jeans and pulled
their bodies

closer.

“Our guests can wait......”

Malik turned her around and captured her mouth with his own in a passionate
kiss,

hooking her necklace together around her neck as he did.

Neither of them noticed as the door to the room open and closed, and another
presence

entered the room. The presence crossed it’s arms and grunted.

“I see nothing has changed here”

Malik and Caroline stopped what they were doing and turned around quickly.

“Bakura, you sonovabitch! Don’t sneak up on me like that!”
Malik protested.

Caroline smiled brightly and threw her arms around Bakura the ex-tombrobber.

“Bakura! I’m so glad to see you again! Oh my gods, you look HOT!”

Bakura’s cheeks stood out against his pale skin as they turned a light
shade of red.

“I don’t think your husband would appreciate you fondling my ass
like that.....Mrs. Ishtar”

he said nervously, glancing at Malik.

Caroline giggled and continued feeling up Bakuras butt.

“Sorry, I can't resist, you’ve got such a cute little ass”

Malik snapped his jeans back up and grinned at Bakura.

“I don’t care if she feels you up. I actually find your squirming
quite amusing.....feel free

to continue what you are doing, my dear”

Bakura’s eyes got wide.

“Holy shit, maybe you’ve changed more than I thought.”

Malik and Caroline grinned at each other playfully.

“Great seeing you again tombrobber......let’s get our asses downstairs
now before my wife

rapes you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I can’t believe it’s been two years already” Ryou said
with disbelief.

“I know....so much has changed since our last album came out.”
Marik nodded as he

pulled the cap off a bottle of beer and handed it to Ryou.

“I still can’t believe you’re married now. I never pictured
you as the ‘husbandly’ type”

Ryou replied as he sipped his beer.

Marik burst out laughing

“Well Ryou, a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do.”

Ryou grinned and nodded his head,

“I hear you. Bakura has had an obsession with living on a farm in Kansas
ever since the

last tour. Tany and I couldn’t handle his constant nagging, so we moved
there last fall.

Hopefully he’ll get over his little fetish and want to move back to
Domino soon.”

“Yeah, I hope he gets over it soon too. I hate living in the middle
of BFE.” Tany growled.

Marik screwed up his face.

“BFE? I thought you lived in Kansas?”

Ryou chuckled lightly,

“Marik.....BFE is the short way of saying ‘Bum Fuck Egypt.’
It’s an expression that means

‘in the middle of nowhere’.”

Marik made a face and shrugged.

“Hmm....interesting......I wonder what’s taking Bakura so long
to get back down here. I

hope he didn’t get lost upstairs.”

“That’s very possible. This house is huge Marik!ake ake it living
out here has been treating

you good” Ryou chuckled.

Marik shrugged nonchalantly,

“It’s nice. Much more relaxing than living back in Domino. I was
so happy to move out of

that little shit box apartment that my sister was renting above the liquor
store.”

Ryou nodded his head,

“How is your sister doing anyway? Last time I saw her was when she found
us passed out

in the bathtub the night after we stole all that booze and tried drinking
up the evidence.”

Marik laughed at the memory of him and Ryou passed out in the tub surrounded
by empty

booze bottles, and his sister on the war path when she found them.

“Ishizu’s doing good. She moved back to Egypt with Odeon after
I got married.”

“Why’d she move back? I thought she liked it in America”

Marik chuckled as he took a swig of his beer.

“She only came merimerica to keep an eye on me. She said she knew Caroline
would keep

Malik and I in line, so once I was married, she went back. I think she was
just homesick.”

Tany and Ryou looked at each other and nodded their heads.

“We know the feeling” they chimed in unison.

“Well holy shit, looked what the devil dragged in” Marik smiled
as Bakura, Malik and

Caroline walked into the livingroom.

“Tany!” Caroline squealed excitedly as she ran in and gave Tany
a big hug.

“Oh my gods! You look GREAT! How the hell have you been!”

Tany smiled brightly and hugged her back.

“Caroline! Holy shit you’ve changed!”

The girls walked out of them room talking to each other at a million miles
an hour.

Malik and Bakura sat down on the sofa opposite of Marik and Ryou and stretched
out

their legs.

Before they could even get relaxed, the door bell rang.
