Chapter 3

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"There was floating vibrators, doors that locked on their own, soda stains that disappeared, a white haired kid sitting on NOTHING in mid air...food appearing from nowhere..." the man listed off looking quite troubled. "There's something wrong with that group..."

"Not to mention a soda exploding for NO reason whatsoever..." The other man went on. "Things disappearing and reappearing... and that one kid went nuts and attacked his book for no reason!!!"

"Yeah! And that whole thing about magic, and some kid being as old as ancient egypt!" he said popping in the most recent video footage of the birthday party at Marik's. There was no sound as they'd been too far to pick up any, but there was a fine shot of the teens storming from the room, and Ryou taking a seat in his mid-air nothing cushion.

"And... This kid with the wierd hair... and this one with the black hair... they had SEX in the college locker room!!!" The first PI yelped, nearly bouncing up and down in his excitement to report this.

Pegasus turned and looked at Seto, amused. "About time the Pharaoh got Inarus to spread his legs for him..." He chuckled. "It only took three millennia..."

Seto laughed. "The law of averages says it had to happen SOMETIME." He mused. "He's persistant, that's for sure."

Pegasus laughed. "He certainly is... But we have the information we needed..."

The two PIs were glad to hear they'd recieve their paychecks and vacation time for their good work later that week, and hurried out to tell their families the good news.

"So now we just need to get the bottle. It's a crime for such a thing to be wasted on a desert rat like Marik." Seto hissed seething. "He's such an imbecile! You saw how he just left the genie in the open like that...he's careless and foolish! Worse yet is the pharaoh allowing such a thing!"

"It is rather odd..." Pegasus mused. "But now we at least know where the bottle is... And we can get it."

"I can send someone to fetch the relic." Seto said calmly. "Marik was never a brilliant man on any terms...he probably leaves it in the open. The only problem is getting to the bottle while the genie is inside. If my men try to take it and the genie is aware...he can warn Marik."

"But he's a genie." Pegasus protested. "All we have to do is get the bottle. An even if he's not in it and warns Marik, there's nothing they can do."

"You know the pharaoh has ultimate command of that genie Pegasus. Don’t be stupid." Seto said crossing his arms. "He could merely wish us to give it back, or worse."

"But the genie has no power over his masters or his bottle." Pegasus pointed out.

"That's why I said or worse." Seto pointed out. "Besides, any wish we make could be undone by that pharaoh without the bottle."

Pegasus sighed. "So we have to get rid of the Pharaoh."

"A better plan may be to… find a way to undo the pharaoh's power over that genie. I'd hate to kill him before we've utterly destroyed him..." Seto said calmly. "Three thousand years later I believe we both deserve gloating rights after we descimate him."

"Ah, just slit his throat." Pegasus snorted with a casual wave of his hand. "And with his dying breath he'll see us and know it was us who destroyed his second chance at living. Ironically, at the same age that he died before. Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass?"

Seto looked thoughtful. "Which is a bigger kick in the ass? Killing him, or making HIM a slave?" Seto said looking amused. "We rule the world and he runs around as a slave. I think that's a MUCH bigger blow to his ego."

Pegasus slowly began to grin. "And not just him... his holier-than-thou pet sorcerer... those two upstart theives... Their little brothers."

"Exactly..so we need to find a way to silence the genie. I'd hate to lose the chance to humiliate the pharaoh beause the genie wouldn't keep quiet..." Seto said smirking. "you are far more familiar with the dark arts than I...I'm sure you can think of a deliciously evil spell that might work..."

Pegasus sat back, thinking quietly. "Silence a genie... Hmmm... Easier said than done, Seto..."

"Dominating a planet is not so easy either..." Seto said calmly. "But I'm sure we can find something..."

"You'll have to give me some time." Pegasus said, sipping his wine. "To try and find... SOME thing... unfortunately our lovely books and scrolls of magic don't exist any longer."

"All the more reason to think outside of traditional magics..." Seto said. "We want something dear old Ahmose cannot undo so quickly...." Seto said calmly. "His mastery of magic is comparable....and with the genie, he HAS his old scrolls at hand."

Pegasus frowned. "How do we know that? Do we even know if they remember? It's possible that remnants of his past life made themselves known and Ahmose has merely developed the ability to do very simple magic. Locking doors... exploding sodas... teleporting... umm... vibrators... But wait..." Pegasus said, frowning, turning to look at Seto. "He couldn't have TELEPORTED anything... even as a master sorcerer in Egypt, he always had trouble doing that. Never did get the hang of it. He would often pass out afterwards, wouldn't he?"

"He did pass out. Plus he had a lot of trouble getting it right for a very long time. It took years of practice for him to perfect teleportation spells." Seto said calmly. "Thus his little... accident."

"You mean his gang rape? No, he only got fucked like that because he NEVER perfected his teleportations... He teleported the Pharaoh from the place and collapsed right there in front of the Pharaoh's attackers. The fool showed his own weakness. It was his own mistake that got him gang raped." Pegasus remembered. "Too bad he recovered. I was hoping he would totally loose his sanity and die..."

Seto laughed. "Well he did’t, and still poses a problem..." He frowned. "I do not think they don’t remember, I'm fairly sure they do, just based on our observations...from the video."

"I wonder what triggered OUR memories?" Pegasus mused.

"I'm willing to bet it was related to that genie....someone must have made a careless wish..." Seto said calmly.

"Hmm..." Pegasus sighed, draining his wine glass. Then he smirked. "I wonder how he'll react to seeing you now that he has his memories... You DID try to kill him, after all..."

Seto chuckled. "He sees me regularly..." he said boredly. "Every card tournament that he and his brother enter, he sees me." Seto rolled his icy eyes. "I'm far more interested in his reaction to his own genie being used against him."
"But has he seen you since he remembered?" Pegasus asked.

"No. I dont think so. But then again I dont know when it was that HE remembered." Seto said after a moment.

Pegasus sighed. "True... But now we remember. He won't know it. We can catch him by surprise..." Suddenly, Pegasus sat straight up. "I have an idea. On how to get the genie without the others interfering. Without the genie warning them..."

"do tell" Seto said looking at Pegasus eagerly.

Pegasus smirked. "Wait until they're all together in that house. And then, I'll simply... put them all to sleep, the sorcerer first, of course. If he sees someone else drop first, his guard will be up and he'll be able to block the spell. The genie will be alone and won't be able to wake them. And by the time they DO wake up, the genie will be gone."

"And what of the pharaoh? Once he wakes to see the genie gone, he could merely make a wish against us and the genie would grant it. What is your plan of action for that?"

"Before we get the genie, I'm going have a plan developed to sever that inconveniant tie..." Pegasus said.

Seto looked thoughtful for a moment, before snapping his fingers. "What about changing the genie's prison? Choose a different vessle to hold him. That'd be harder than putting Ahmose to sleep, but it would get the genie out, and then the tie would be severed..."

Pegasus frowned. "Perhaps..." He said. "But we would STILL have to go in and GET the genie for that!!! So we would still have to put them all to sleep. They drop, I put a temporary ward on the genie's magic, and we take him and chain him to a new bottle."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Seto said after a moment. "Perhaps after we take over this world, we could put that little genie to work as a slave. It's been a long time since I've had any decent sex." Seto snickered softly. "And he IS a peculiar desert bloom."

Pegasus blinked, and turned, looking at Seto. "You were a High Priest. You never HAD sex! Unless you threw your chastity vow to the wind after you were exiled. And something tells me you're a virgin in this life, too." Pegasus teased.

Seto chuckled. "I did have sex once in my past life." Seto said chuckling. "A banished priest can be a bit un-priestly." he said smugly. "As for this life...I've not had the time. But I think I can set aside time. What about YOU?" he said smirking at Pegasus. "I doubt you've had any sex in a great many years either."

Pegasus sighed. "Not since my wife died..." He mumbled, looking forlornly at his empty wine glass.

Seto chuckled "She is in a better place..." He said calmly. "However, if you show no interest, then I can keep that little Genie as my own concubine." He said shrugging.

Pegasus snorted. "We'll see." He said, getting up. "We'll see..."

A week later, Seto and Pegasus sat in a car with tinted windows, across the street from Marik's house. At about one, Malik and Bakura showed up in Bakura's Lamborghini Diablo, and at ten til four, Ahmose's SUV pulled up, and he, Yami, Yugi and Mikado got out. Yami, Yugi and Mikado headed for the front door, but Ahmose paused and turned, looking around through narrowed eyes.

"He can feel us..." Pegasus hissed, watching. But a moment later, Ahmose turned and headed to the house as well.

"Then now's the time when we DON’T make a mistake." Seto hissed back, watching the doors close. "If he senses the spell before he's asleep, we'll be 'royally fucked' as the term for this age."

Pegasus chuckled. "Which is why he's going down first. I'm hitting him hard and fast." And Pegasus closed his eyes and began chanting under his breath, focusing on Ahmose.

Ahmose, in the mean time, had pulled his much loved Tex-Mex from the Magic Fridge and plopped down in his arm chair in the living room, where everyone else was gathered, munching their afternoon snacks and talking.

Ryou sat on his usual 'nothing' and happily chewed on 'pita bread with toppings', otherwise known as pizza. "You look troubled..." he said giving Ahmose a sympathetic look.

Ahmose glanced up. "I thought I felt something... a familiar presence. And not familiar in a good way, either." He said.

"Oh?" Marik asked.

Ryou blinked. "Familiar bad? Who could it be?" He asked softly. "Who could possibly have been reincarnated ALSO?"

Ahmose blinked. "I don’t know. It could be any--" Ahmose stopped, and his plate slid off of his lap and shattered on the floor. Everyone stared as the sorcerer wavered, then groaned and slumped to the floor.

"Ahmose?!" Mikado yelped, running to his brother. "Ahmose?!" Ahmose was completely unresponsive. Marik leapt to his feet, eyes wide.

Ryou gasped and hurried over to Ahmose as well. "Master Ahmose?! Master Ahmose wake up!" he said shaking his head. "What happened?" He squeaked when the process began repeating itself on some of the other guests. "Ahh!"

First, Yami went down, then Bakura, then Marik. Malik, Mikado and Yugi followed quickly.

Ryou panicked. "Masters!" He squeaked running between them, unsure of what to do. He whimpered and held his head trying to think. What did Marik tell him to do if something bad had happened? No...wait Marik never TOLD him what to do if something bad happened!

"Master wake up!" He whimpered shaking his head.

"They asleep yet?" Seto asked eagerly, when Pegasus finished chanting.

Pegasus smirked. "Let's go." The pair got out of the car and walked up to the house, opening the front door, and walking in. They entered the living room and stared down at Ryou and all the sleeping boys.

Ryou squeaked. "Who are you?" he said backing away slightly. "A-are you going to help my masters?" he asked looking at his fallen friends. "Can you wake them up? Please wake them up!"

Pegasus smirked. "They'll wake up in time." He said, as Seto went to search the house for the bottle.

"Well who are you...and what are you doing in master's house?" Ryou said after a moment. "I do not think you're supposed to be going through his things...."

"You're going to have new masters now, Ryou dear." Pegasus said, glancing down at Yami. "And not even the Pharaoh will have power over you any longer."

Ryou gave Pegasus a dumb look. "...huh?" He said sounding confused. "what do you mean?"

Pegasus turned as Seto walked in. "Find it?"

Seto nodded holding up the bottle. "It was on his bedside stand."

"What are you doing with my bottle?" he asked in a confused voice.

"We're stealing you." Pegasus announced calmly.

Ryou blinked a few times before beginning to giggle. "No... you're stealing my bottle." he said once he'd wiped some tears from his eyes.

Pegasus and Seto blinked. "... And you come with it." Pegasus said.

Ryou giggled again and waved a hand, the bottle yanking itself from Seto's hands and into his. "No, I dont. It's MY bottle." he said calmly. "Nothing more."

Pegasus blinked and looked at Seto, confused.

Seto blinked a few times as well. "... Don’t look at me!" He said confused. "I dont know what's going on!"

Pegasus frowned and muttered a bit, then walked over to Ryou, raised a hand, and pressed it onto Ryou's forehead, placing a ward on his magic. Then he snatched the bottle away and grabbed Ryou's hand. "Let's go."

Ryou blinked and shook his head. "No." he said calmly. "I'm not leaving my masters." He turned and stooped down, hugging Marik. "You can have that bottle if you must, but I will not go with you."

Seto blinked again. "You cant say no!" he said accusingly. "You're a genie!"

"Yeah!!!" Pegasus agreed. "I hold your bottle, and I order you to come, NOW!!!"

Ryou grinned. "No." he said simply.

Seto stared dumbly. "What the hell!? Since when did a genie say no?" he blurted shaking his head.

Ryou giggled. "No. I'm not going. You hold no power over me." he said calmly. "I am not a slave to that bottle any longer."

"Fuck!!! He's been freed!!!" Pegasus yelped, then turned and tossed the bottle to Seto, grabbed Ryou, and slung him over his shoulder, running for the door.

Ryou yelped. "Put me down! PUT ME DOWN!" he shrieked struggling fiercely. "For Ra's sake put me down or I'll turn you into a toad!" he yelled, causing as much ruckus as he could.

Seto shook his head. "Good god I hope your seal holds!" he said. "We've pissed off a freed genie!"

"Me too!" Pegasus yelped. A few doors down, some kids playing in the front yard watched, confused, as the two men charged across the street with a spazzing Ryou. Pegasus tossed Ryou into the back seat of the car and jumped in after him, while Seto leapt into the driver's seat.

Seto floored it and they were off. Ryou however was livid. "How DARE you!" he shrieked furiously, glowing with the magic he could not use against them currently. "Oh just you wait! I shall turn you into the horrid rats you are!" he said furiously. "You let me go this very instant! I have to take care of my masters!" he howled.

"They'll live, boy!" Pegasus hissed, striking Ryou across the face. "And we'll keep you warded until we've bound you to a bottle again! And you'll be a Genie again, unable to resist!!!"

Ryou yelped, and held his stinging cheek, staring at Pegasus wide-eyed. "NO! I don’t want to be a genie anymore! Master pharaoh freed me!" he shook his head in disbelief. "You CAN’T!"

"Gods shut him up before he attracts police or something!" He called back. "All this fuss and we'll get unwanted attention from them!"

Pegasus nodded, turning to Ryou. "If you don't keep quiet, we're going to slit your precious Marik's throat!" He hissed.

Ryou whimpered. "Y-you...you wouldn't!" he said clutching his throat and shaking his head. "You cant! Master Ahmose would kill you!"

"If we don't slit his throat, too!" Pegasus snapped. "Seto could turn us around right now! We could walk right back into that house and kill them ALL!!!"

Ryou whimpered and bit his lip, quieting and sniffling. "Dont kill them.." he sniffled feeling quite vulnerable and pathetic without his magic. "I...I'll be good..."

"Good." Pegasus snorted, and sat back, inspecting Ryou's bottle. "If we bound him to this bottle again, would the Pharaoh have power over him? Or do we need to bind him to a different one?"

"It may be good to bind him to a different one...that way any rescue missions would still think him bound to the first..." Seto said calmly. "So they'd go for the wrong bottle by instinct."

Pegasus nodded. "Okay then. I'm sure between our mansions we have SOMETHING that would make a suitable prison..."

"We can use that ugly black metal bottle you have from the gothic era." Seto said calmly. "It's ugly as sin anyway. No one would suspect a genie to be in THAT stupid thing."

Pegasus gave Seto a look. "That bottle cost me a fortune!!!"

"It's ugly." Seto said once more. "and you dont USE it for anything!"

"Oh, like every bottle and vase in YOUR house is used for something other than to gether dust on a table in the hall." Pegasus huffed.

Seto smirked. "But they're not an eyesore." he said chuckling. "Besides, they'd suspect something like that. They'd never suspect your ugly gothic bottle."

Ryou whimpered. "I dont want to be in an ugly gothic bottle..."

"Well, if we don't want them to EXPECT anything, let's just put him in a fuckin' SODA bottle!" Pegasus argued right back.

Ryou whined louder. "I dont wanna be in a soda bottle!"

"Just put him in the goddamned gothic thing Pegasus! It's not like you're using it!" Seto argued over Ryou's whines. "We dont want the bottle breaking, metal doesn't break!"

"It CAN!!!" Pegasus whined back. "But fine!"

Ryou whined louder than Pegasus. "I DONT WANNA BE IN AN UGLY GOTHIC BOTTLE!"

"Shut him up!" Seto growled. "Dont make me pull over!"

"You will be in whatever bottle we want you in!" Pegasus snapped, slapping Ryou again.

Ryou winced. "But you just said you didn't WANT me in that bottle! I don’t want in that ugly bottle!"

"Well, you're gonna be! Now SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" Pegasus roared.

Ryou sniffled and nodded pouting and looking away. He'd run once that car stopped.

Seto drove until they reached Pegasus' mansion and he pulled the car to a stop. "Alright. Get the genie and bring him in, I'll get the bottle and help you."

Pegasus seized Ryou by the thick of the arm, hard enought to bruise, and dragged him from the car.

Ryou winced and struggled to pull away. "Let me go!" he said firmly. "I dont want to be a genie anymore! I was wished free! You cant do this!" he wailed as Seto grabbed Ryou's other arm just as harshly and dragged him forward with Pegasus.

"Shut up!"

"You WILL be a genie again! OUR genie! You will be our SLAVE!!!" Pegasus snapped. "And soon, your master and friends will be our slaves, too!" He then turned to Seto with a grin. "I call the Pharaoh!!! YOU can have his fuckin' lap dog, Inarus, and finally take your revenge."

Seto laughed. "Fine fine." He said as they carried Ryou into the house.

Ryou was glowing brightly with the magic he couldn't use, struggling for his very freedom. "STOP! I dont want to! NO! I DONT WANT TO!" he wailed loudly kicking and struggling as hard as he could.

Pegasus turned and buried his fist into Ryou's stomach. "SHUT UP!!!" He howled, dragging Ryou into the house and flinging him onto the floor. "Seto, go find that bottle!"

Ryou gasped for breath on the floor, clutching his stomach and shaking his head painfully. "Stop..." he whimpered.

Seto ran quickly to Pegasus' study and grabbing the deep black metal bottle, he ran back his long legs making for great strides. "Got it!"

Pegasus grinned and nodded. "It should be simple enough. His tie to the bottle has already been broken, and his magic is warded. It's trapped inside of him. We have to release it and tie it to THIS bottle." He said. "Go get a knife."

Seto nodded and once again left.

Ryou groaned softly and forced himself up, making a dash for the window his last feesable escape.

Pegasus leapt up and tackled the boy to the ground. "Don't you dare you little..." And he proceeded to beat the boy, until Ryou finally stopped struggling.

Ryou laid still, panting in pain and curled up tightly whimpering feebly when Seto returned. He smirked. "He tried to escape again didn't he?" he said handing Pegasus the sharp knife he'd found.

Ryou groaned softly trying to will the strength back to his sore body...but with his magic warded he couldn't even heal himself...he couldn't get the strength to fight any further.

Pegasus took the knife and lifted Ryou's left hand up. "Seto, catch the blood in the bottle." He said, and sliced Ryou's wrist.

Ryou gasped and whined in pain as his wrist began to burn in pain. Seto quickly began catching the blood in the bottle as he'd been instructed.

Pegasus began chanting under his breath as Ryou's blood dripped into the bottle. The blood flowing from his wrist began to take a bit of the glow around Ryou's body with it. Finally, Pegasus grabbed the towel and pressed it to Ryou's wrist. "Put the stopper in the bottle." Pegasus told Seto, and once Seto did, the bottle flashed, and Ryou felt as though shackles had been placed on his wrists and ankles. "Open it." Pegasus told Seto. Seto did, and Ryou seemed to dissolve into smoke, and it was sucked into the bottle. "Leave it for twenty four hours while the bottle asserts its authority over the boy..." Pegasus said. "Then, he will belong to us..."

"Wow… that wasn't quite as hard as you'd made it sound." Seto said chuckling.

The bottle shook and glowed furiously. "Shit!" Seto yelped tossing it to Pegasus. "What the hell was that?!"

"That's Ryou trying to break free and resist. Why we must leave it for a while for the bottle to... take charge."

Inside the bottle, Ryou was doing JUST that. He was terrified, and that adrenaline lead to his struggles. The interior of this bottle frightened him. The pillows were deep crimson, and there was a fountain to bathe in...but the water was tainted and red, spewing fourth from a demon's opened mouth, the statue leering over the pool of water. The floors were drenched in his own blood.

"Let me out! I dont want to be a genie! I DONT WANT THIS!" Ryou howled sobbing. "I DONT WANT TO BE A SLAVE ANYMORE!"

The more he struggled, the weaker he felt, until he collapsed panting and struggling to breathe. He groaned as his blood pooled around him, the evil in the magic giving the substance life. It slithered over his body and glowed, forming his 'new' attire. A deep garnet colored harem outfit so seethrough it was practically sluttish the only un-transparent part of it being the crotch of his pants. His neck was adorned with a blackened burgandy choker, precious tear-shaped jewels hanging down from it in a v shape. The entire theme was deep reds to blacks...down to the coins that adorned his waist, dainty shoes and bottom of his tube top.

The dark and sinister bottle, had begun to assert it’s authority…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Back at the house, the boys were still sprawled around on the floor, Mikado slumped over his brother, and Yugi would be nursing a headache when he came to. Malik was the first to awaken early the next morning, only to find Marik's passed out face in his crotch.

"Ah! God Marik!" He said smacking the other boy harshly. "Gods pervert jeeze!" he said shoving him away. "Bakura? Bakura are you ok?" He asked, immediartly worrying for his lover. He found him and gently shook him awake.

Marik groaned and stirred a bit, slowly lifting his head and blinking his eyes open. "Ahhrg... what the hell... happened...?" He groaned, as Yugi also began to stir, followed by Mikado.

"Hell if I know...we were all fine, then we all woke up like this." Malik said hugging Bakura. "Sounds a lot like how I felt after wishing away whatever memories I wished away...I was fine, then I was somewhere else...." he said looking around. "Magic..."

Bakura groaned, beginning to wake once Malik moved him.

"M-Malik?" He mumbled, turning his head a bit. "What... what the hell happened?"

"Ahmose... collapsed..." Marik mumbled, turning and looking around.

"He... he won't wake up!!!" Mikado whimpered, shaking his brother, and Yugi turned to his own brother; Yami had yet to wake up as well.

"Well I bet Ryou could wake em up." Malik said calmly. "He can just break whatever the heck spell was put on us." Malik added.

"We’ll go get him!" Yugi whimpered shaking Yami. "I'm really freaking out here!"

"Why isn't he here anyway?" Bakura asked. Marik blinked and looked around.

"Ryou?" He called, standing. There was no answer. "RYOU!?" He shouted. Again, no answer. Marik turned and ran up the stairs and into his room. Downstairs, the group heard shouting and cursing, and then Marik thundering down the stairs like a rhinocerous. "His bottle is gone!!!"

Malik blinked. "Calm down, he's a free genie, just because his bottle is gone doesn't mean sometihng bad happened.." Malik soothed. "Maybe he moved it...didn't you just tell me not too long ago he's prone to redecorating without telling you?"

Marik shook his head. "He's NEVER moved his bottle from my bedside!" He protested. "and come on! We all pass out randomly... and then when we wake up he's GONE?! You really think that it's not connected?!"

"Oh I'm sure it is, but I'm trying to sound positive!" Malik said pouting. "Lets wake up Yami and Ahmose and we'll figure out what to do from there...."

Marik nodded, turning to Mikado and Yugi, who were still trying to wake their older brothers.

It was sunset before Yami and Ahmose finally woke. Yami groaned and held his head. "Gods....anyone get the number of that truck?" he grumbled.

"Hmph... count some sheep and you'll find it. But I think the sheep just KICKED us to knock us out instead..." Bakura grunted. Ahmose groaned and pulled a pillow over his head.

"Someone get me some aspirin..." He mumbled from under the pillow.

Malik was the first up to get them. He hurried back to Ahmose. "Here..what happened? Ryou's missing."

"Magic..." Ahmose croaked, finally emerging from under the pillow, but his hair was a mess. "Strong magic. It hit me before I could raise my defenses..."

Yami groaned. "As if it wasn't obvious..." he mumbled. "We all pass out at once.."

"No, it was more like one at a time..." Mikado said. First Ahmose, and a few seconds later, Yami." He said. "then Bakura and Marik... and then me, I think..."

"They took out the strongest first, and worked their way down to the weakest..." Ahmose mused.

"Hey!!" Marik howled. "I'm stronger than Bakura!!!"

"Are not!" Bakura snapped back, and they pair began bickering.

"Who was it?" Yami groaned siting up and shaking his head a bit. "Any idea? "

Ahmose frowned. "the presence I felt, outside of the house..." He said softly. "... Two presences..."

"Well Ryou's gone...so whoever did it took Ryou." Malik said softly. "Ryou and his bottle."

Yami frowned. "Ahmose...is there any way we can track down the presences?"

Ahmose sighed. "P-Perhaps..." He said softly.

"Who would steal Ryou? Who knows?!" Marik gasped. "We've been much more careful... and Ryou's free! HOW did they steal him?!"

"Maybe they didn't steal him...maybe he left on his own." Malik said calmly. "He's got infinite magic Marik...no one can MAKE Ryou do anything."

"We'll find out soon enough if someone did...we'll just have to keep our eyes open." Yami said calmly. "At least until Ahmose can possibly produce a lead.”

Marik shook his head. "Why would Ryou just LEAVE?!" He asked. "He HAD to have been taken. Maybe... he was threatened?"

"Marik, he's a genie, what threat could he NOT handle? He's got magic!" Maliks said crossing his arms. "He's done things I never dreamed possible!"

Marik frowned and pouted slightly. "Ryou wouldn't just leave..." He mumbled.

"I agree." Ahmose said after a moment. "Something's not right."

"Well there's nothing we can do right now." Yami said calmly. "Except go home, and work on a plan. We have NO clues."

"Why can't you stay HERE and work on a plan, huh?!" Marik howled.

"Because Ahmose needs to focus for his magic to work, and NO one can focus when you're livid, and nearby." Yami said calmly.

Ahmose just chuckled at that. "I'm gonna head home... I'll think things over while I walk the dogs." He smirked in amusement and turned. "Wanna join me, Yami?"

"Of course." Yami said smiling and walking to Ahmose's side. "We'll contact you when we've got something." And out they walked, followed by their brothers.

Yami sighed. "It's a little late saying it now, but it was a mistake to have made you do that to him in the first place..." he said softly. "he's a magnet for trouble and greed now..."

Ahmose blinked. "Are you finally regretting making me turn him into a genie?" He asked, looking a bit surprised.

"Yugi, you wanna come stay the night?" Mikado asked softly, following the two older boys out.

Yugi nodded grinning. "Sure!" he sad eagerly.

Yami nodded. "In a way...I'm glad I did...because look what it has done for Marik now...but I also regret it, because that boy seems to have the fates against him as it is..."

"This kind of fate was destined for him the momend I bonded him to the bottle." Ahmose mumbled softly, unlocking the car and climbing in.

Yami chuckled climbing in as well. "But he's never complained." he said calmly. "The boy is more of an angel than I ever gave him credit for. He never complains, no matter how horrible things are for him...at least not that I've heard, other than his displeasure for becoming a genie."

Ahmose smiled and turned on the car, pulling away and heading back to the apartment. "He was always an angel. He just happened to be mischeivious, too. And not always on purpose. He was just curious."

"Curiosity has always killed the cat." Yami said calmly. "He learned a valuable lesson. Dont piss me off while you're in love with me." Yami snickered softly "And I'm god of all creation."

Ahmose rolled his eyes. "If you don't downsize that ego of yours, I'm gonna have to do it for you. And you'll find yoursel living in a doll house on my kitchen table for the next month."

Yami leaned over and smirked at Ahmose. "You couldn't eat at your table anymore, or study. I would do such horrible things to you." Yami laughed. "You couldn't even LOOK at that dollhouse without blushing."

Ahmose glanced at Yami. "You would do horrible things to me? You? At three inches tall?"

"I could walk out of that doll house completly naked and start masturbating right infront of you." Yami said calmly.

Ahmose blinked, then burst out laughing. "Yeah, and I'd need a magnifying glass just to SEE it!!!" The boys in the back seat burst out laughing.

Yami laughed slightly as well. "You wouldn't need to look! You'd be too busy choking on the fact I was naked. You choke and stammer at the mention of vibrators."

Ahmose, of course, blushed. "Oh, shut up!!!" He snapped.

"Ha! See?!" Yami laughed and shook his head. "You're so virgin it's cute...and you're not even virgin anymore!"

"Shut up!!!" Ahmose howled, half to Yami, and half to the little brothers in the back seat. He pulled into the parking garage of his apartment, and they all trooped into the elevator and rode up to the second floor, getting out and heading to the aparment. Ahmose unlocked the door and walked in, getting pounced by the dogs.

Yugi and Mikado hurried to his room, laughing the whole way as Ahmose and Yami fought off the over eager dogs. "So...Ahmose, do you have any plans on finding some clues?" Yami asked, once the dogs were calmed down.

"I'll think it over on our walk. Harness!" He ordered the dogs, and they ran off and returned immediately with their harnesses. Ahmose harnessed the dogs, and they were off.
