Author's notes: Look who's back. Ha. Yeah, it's none other than me! Okay, that was quite cold. But anyway, I finally got to update! Must be some sudden inspiration, provided that I have the time to type it on the computer… New year in school is stressing me out with a lot of homework and test and everything! This year surely sucks…the teachers were all some kind of workaholic…worse of all, some people from another class wanted to compete with my class, making everybody so competitive! Curse them all!
Well anyway, last chapter sure ended quite quickly in my point of view. Well, the nanny got what she deserves though I should say. Thank you to all readers and reviewers! You guys made me happy as always. Thanks for your support! Here's chapter 10, so please read and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in the story. Well, perhaps Nanny Alice I guess.
~~~Previously~~~
Standing at the edge of the jumping board, Nanny Alice gulped as she closed her eyes, hands at her chest.
"Maybe we shouldn't be doing thi-"
The four yamis started jumping on the board, making everything shake. The jumping board creaked, perhaps due to oldness or it can't support the nanny's weight.
"Stop! STO-ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!"
~~~Now~~~
A loud ear-splitting scream pierced through the whole swimming pool as people from below the jumping board glanced up and saw a lump of fats falling down from the sky.
"ARGH! SOMEBODY SAVE ME! I CAN'T SWIM!"
"Do you think we've overdone it?" Yami Yuugi turned to the other three yamis who were laughing at the nanny who was flying down at top speed.
"She got exactly what she deserved for treating us in this manner! The Thief King would not tolerate manhandling of children like us!" Yami Bakura cackled as the other yamis agreed.
Seeing the black figure that was about to land in the pool, the people underneath the approaching danger immediately got out of the pool to prevent themselves from getting into trouble. Of course, who wants to be flattened by the fat nanny? A loud splash was heard, and the water flew high and splattered everywhere, causing lots of bubbles in the pool.
"Ouch…Had we killed her?" Yami Malik said as he glanced down the jumping board, only seeing Nanny Alice resurfacing from under the pool, floating face down as she went.
"We should go down to have a better look," Yami Bakura said as all of them made their way down the structure and towards the nanny.
"I think she's dead," Yami Yuugi whispered, seeing that Alice hadn't moved a muscle since falling down.
"Then that's good news!" Seth chirped as he peered at the nanny. "Um…I don't think she's dead…"
Before Seth could finish his sentence, the nanny suddenly remerged from her current state, her eyes shining with a murderous light as her face was writhed into indescribable anger. Her mouth was twisted to an impossible angle as she tried to find the right words to scream at the top of her voice.
"YOU FOUR!" she yelled as she tried to make her way towards the four yamis but was stopped by the lifeguard instead.
"My sweet old lady, I have to tell you that your little adventure up on the jumping board just now wasn't exactly acceptable in the pool. I know it's good to have senior citizens joining us so enthusiastically, but what you did was totally unacceptable. Have you read our safety regulations?" the lifeguard said as her stood in front of the Nanny Alice, who had already crawled her way up from the pool, her fats bouncing as she went.
"To hell with your safety regulations! I was nearly murdered by that bunch of evil kids! I'm going to kill them! Let me go! I need to teach those brats a good lesson and get the message clear that I'm no pushover! Let me GO!" Nanny Alice yelled as she tried to struggle her way towards the four yamis.
Putting on their teary eyes, Yami Malik cried, "No! She wanted to pway on that board! We didn't force her or anything!"
"She's ewil to us!" Seth continued and added, "Don't let her get us! She'll murder us!"
The crowd that had started to form around them started murmuring and pointing fingers at the Nanny, voicing out their disbelief on how cruel she could be.
"No! I'm maligned! Don't trust them! They had tried to kill me in a bathtub before! Get your hands off me!"
"Old lady, I think you need a doctor…"
Sitting neatly in a row, Yuugi, Ryou, Malik and Kaiba stared at Nanny Alice, not really anticipating on what was followed on. It was after school, and the first thing they got was a phone call from the police informing them about their supposedly 'brothers' were trapped with some lunatic old lady who reckons that the four kids were attempting murder on her.
Hearing this, the immediate reaction from all four of them was the same. They hurriedly rush over to the police station, explaining to the officer there for a whole hour before they could take their yamis back. Right now, they were sitting in the kitchen with Alice in front of them, her usually meticulously combed hair in a mess as if it were some birds' nest, and her eyes were so wide that her eyeballs appeared to be popping out.
The four yamis at close to each other, looking back and forth from the hikaris to the nanny, trying to ignore the rather cold atmosphere that seemed to envelope them right at this moment.
"I want you kids to know, I have had enough of these spawns of devil! They're no ordinary children!" Alice rattled as she pointed an accusing finger at the yamis who gave their most innocent look and puppy eyes to the hikaris.
"Well, I'm sure there's just some misunderstanding in betwee-" Yuugi started, but was cut off by a shrill laugh.
"Misunderstanding? Don't fool me because I know exactly what a misunderstanding is. I call this as a death threat! They're clearly trying to murder me! I'm not staying in this madhouse anymore! I'm not going to stay here ANYMORE!" Alice screeched rather hysterically, and then panted, trying to catch her breath.
Yuugi looked at the others and tried to get a resolution from them, but they just shook their heads.
Kaiba sighed as he glared at the yamis who gave him their meek looks. Hiring this nanny had cost him quite a bit of money (not that he didn't have much to spare) because there's simply no one who wants to babysit the four yamis, and now they're going to lose the only nanny that's willing to take care of them…
"Well Ms. Alice, I supposed you can leave now, but that meant breaking the contrac-"
"I don't care. If I'm not out of this madhouse by today, I think I'll be joining the mentally unsound in the asylum soon. I. Want. OUT. NOW," Alice said, regaining much of her composure as she tried to reason out with her normal sweet voice.
"Let her go, Kaiba. We don't want her too," Yami Yuugi said as he tugged at Kaiba's shirt and implored with his puppy eyes.
Turning away, Kaiba had to stop himself from being swayed by those puppy eyes. However, as if right on cue, Seth appeared beside him and gave him his puppy eyes too.
"Do this for us, hikawi. I know you meant the best in evewything you do for us. You also want us to be happy instead of being with that dewil right?" Seth cooed softly beside Kaiba's ears as he tugged at the other side of his shirt.
Unable to take it from both the yamis, Kaiba could only consent to the request. Upon hearing the verdict, Nanny Alice shoot up from the chair like a rocket as she ran upstairs to the room and grabbed her belongings along with her, elated to be out finally. Unknown to her, Yami Bakura had conveniently stuck his foot out at the foot of the stairs, and due to her eagerness to get out, the foot went unnoticed by her as she sprint down, only to trip over Yami Bakura's foot and went flying face flat, knocking the side of the couch.
"ARGH! You evil brat! I'll…I'll…Whatever! I'm out of here!" Alice cried as she gathered her dropped stuff and dashed out of the door.
Grinning, Yami Bakura shouted behind her, "I know you'll miss us, but don't come back!"
Feeling rather victorious, he turned back, only to see the reproving look from the hikaris. Surely, their facial expression clearly showed their displeasure and this meant punishment is on its way…
"I wonder what they'll do to us now…" Seth murmured as they huddled on the bed together.
The four yamis sighed together as they looked at the light beneath the closed door. Their hikaris were apparently extremely angry with them, and after three hours of reprimanding, they pulled out the most clique line every parent would say to misbehaved kids.
"There'll be no dinner for you! Now go to bed and think about your misdeeds!"
That was rather harsh of them, and the four yamis were currently hearing each other's stomach growling with hunger. They hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, and the swimming incident surely took a lot of energy from them…
"Maybe they'll just throw us out of the house," Yami Malik said as he rubbed his stomach.
"I don't believe they'll be so unforgiving…" Yami Yuugi said and added, "Anyway, stop rubbing your stomach. You're only reminding me of my hunger."
Sulking, Yami Malik turned away from Yami Yuugi and pulled the covers over his head. He figured that sleeping would be the best to solve all problems. Jumping off from the bed, Yami Bakura crept towards the door and plastered his ear to it, trying to eavesdrop on what the hikaris were saying, but they were speaking in low voices, resulting him in unable to hear a thing.
Without any warning, the door opened, and Yami Bakura could only yelp in order to not be flattened like a pancake. It was Ryou at the door. Seeing Yami Bakura, he only shook his head and entered the room, closing the door behind him softly.
"What are you doing here?" Yami Bakura asked as he rubbed at his toes which nearly became victims to the door. "If you're here to add on to the criticism, forget about it."
Heaving a sigh, Ryou tossed the loaf of bread he had with him at the yamis.
"I know it's harsh not to let you guys eat anything. This is the best I can sneak out from the kitchen, so eat fast," Ryou said as he tore the package open and handed out the bread.
"I just know you're the best!" Seth cried as he hugged Ryou, hands stretched out to grab the bread.
"Do you know what they're going to do with us?" Yami Yuugi blurted out his question, holding his gaze with Ryou.
"Yeah, that stinky Kaiba doesn't look that forgiving," Yami Bakura added, only earning himself a glare from Seth.
"From our earlier agreements, it seemed that Kaiba had pulled a few strings, and you guys would be…" Ryou stopped in midsentence as he decides whether to disclose the matter to the yamis.
"We would be what?"
"Well, you enter a new hell in the form of a kindergarten…"
Author's notes: So we got ourselves rid of Nanny Alice, here comes kindergarten! Sad for the yamis because I know how torturous kindergarten could be…past experiences tell me that much I need to know… well, so end of chapter ten! I hope you guys enjoyed reading! Once again, thank you for reviewers and I might be unable to update any time sooner, so here's me giving an early apologize! Till the next time then!
