I don't own Yugioh. I don't own any of these cuties. Except for my original characters, they belong to me. Suing me would be a pointless waste of time since I'm broke and have nothing anyways (unemployment sucks). Credit for the title goes to Taryn (anime AndrAIa), because I'm lame and couldn't come up with one myself.

Chris: Tigerlily, read the warning…
Tigerlily: Warning!!! This fic has:
- Yaoi and Shounen ai – but nothing is happening now… exactly.
- a few bad words
- major weirdness thanks to… well, you'll see. .
Chris: If you don't know what yaoi is, then this probably isn't for you. Yaoi and shounen ai deals with male x male relationships.
Tigerlily: So if ya don't like that sort of thing do us all a favor and hit the bricks. If you do flame us for it, you will be torched. pulls out her trusty flamethrower And mocked on Chris's web page.
Chris: So, if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.
Tigerlily: So keep your damned mouth shut! You have been warned!!

Chapter 8
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:

-- Bakura's POV --
.
Who the fuck is she? How dare she interrupt!
.
"Tough shit. I'm killing him now, so you'll just have to live with your unanswered questions!"
"Sigh. Look, I said I have no problem with you killing him… Bakura. But he has something that belongs to me and I intend to get it back. You've waited 5 millennia to do this, is 10 minutes really too much to ask for? Besides, I don't want to force you, but I can if you don't cooperate."
"Who are you? What do you know?! And what can a little girl like you, possibly do?"
"I'm Talya. I know everything. And you'd be surprised what I can do."
"Really? And how's that?
"I'm a telepath… among other things."
.
She smiles so innocently, like a hikari. She looks very young but her eyes betray her. They're full of knowledge but she doesn't look older than 12. Of course Yuugi looked like he was 8, but he didn't have eyes like hers. For the first time I notice someone is with her. She's definitely taller and looks to be about 16. Who the hell is she? What is this, a convention?
.
"That's Fiona. She's here to help me get back what belongs to us."
.
What the…
.
"Fuck? Remember Bakura, I'm a telepath. There's nothing you can hide from me. Sorry to disappoint you."
"So you know what he did? Then why don't you know where he put whatever he took from you?"
"Because it's not on his mind currently. All he's thinking about is you and the hikaris. Everything he's done is replaying itself in his mind. He has no conscious control over it, but it's there along with the other presence. It overwhelms and overpowers all other thoughts. I can get what I need from him, it'll just take longer."
"What the HELL are you talking about?!"
"Shall we start from the beginning? Yes, that would be easier than circling each other, kicking up dust."
"It began two months ago…" Ah, so the other one can speak… joy. "…A young man entered our library and took a very powerful text. In this book among the many incantations was the spell that made your bodies flesh."
"But we didn't get our bodies until a month ago. Why would he wait a month before using it?"
"Because he didn't steal it. The one who's been guiding his actions did."
"We were able to find our way here because of his magical tampering. We know about the sennen items. That's how my grandmother figured out where we'd find the book. She's an old friend of Sugoroku Mutoh's." Talya added.
"What are you?"
"We are ourselves… c'mon tomb robber. Rub two brain cells together and think. What sort of people would keep powerful spell books and know about magical things?"
"Witches."
"See, you are smarter than the pharaoh! I'm sure he hasn't a clue what the fuck is still going on. But that's to be expected with all the inbreeding."
"You said there was a presence in his mind and someone was guiding him. Who?"
"Don't know his name. He never left a card or forwarding address."
.
Fiona is a real smart-ass. I'll have to remember to kill her later. Talya glares at me with a look that's actually making me uncomfortable. Heh, guess she heard me.
.
"But if you really want to know, you can ask him. He's there in the corner and he's been watching for a while along with his yami."
.
Fiona points to the darkest corner and out steps… Malik and Marik. Damn. Fighting Malik is one thing, but fighting him and his psychotic yami is another. It's all starting to become clear. I'll have to kill them next, but I don't think I can take them both.
.
"What's the matter, Bakura? No hug? No kiss? I'm hurt."
"Shut up! As soon as I'm finished with him, you're next."
"Ooh, I'm so scared."
.
The stupid yami is mocking me. Yup, definitely gonna kill him.
.
"Now boys, don't fight. It's not nice."
.
Talya appears to be a fucking smart-ass as well. Lovely. Bloody fucking lovely.
.
"So you're Marik and Malik, huh? Don't suppose you'd be so kind as to tell us how you got past the barrier seal crests to the library?"
"No. Sorry, trade secret."
.
Argh!! Dear, Ra!! Is everyone a fucking comedian?? I want my vengeance NOW!!
.
"Pity." Talya sighs. "Guess I'll just have to go digging for it. But at least I can make it painful." She grins from ear to ear. Ra, that is one freaky girl.
"Damn you, Malik! You and your yami made me kill my hikari and Ryou!"
.
Pity, I had hoped he could keep his mouth shut. Guess it was too much to ask for.
.
"Actually, he didn't"
"But you said he was controlling my mind!"
"No, I said the presence –Malik- in your mind was guiding you. All actions were your own doing. He just manipulated your emotions and psychotic tendencies, cheered you on down the road, reinforcing your thoughts and ideas, keeping you focused on it and blind to everything else."
"…It was me?"
"Yup, all you. Pity, you and Yuugi could have been very happy together. Oh well. So, where's my book you inbred ass?"
.
Fiona quickly waves her hand and I suddenly feel heavier, like something is pushing me down. What the hell did she do?! I can't move! She stares at the pharaoh as the pressure increases down on him. He screams out in pain as I hear a couple of bones snap.
.
"Where is the book?" Fiona asks way too calmly. She has officially become the scariest person in the room as far as I'm concerned.
"What the hell did you do to us, you fucking bitch?!" Marik yells at her.
.
Apparently, calling her a fucking bitch was not the brightest thing to do. She redirects her stare from Yami to him and the same unseen force that was focused on Yami sends him flying across the room into the wall. Once again I hear the breaking of bones. Yup, calling her a fucking bitch was not a good idea.
.
"Making sure you don't go wandering off or pulling some stunt before we're ready to deal with you. So shut up and wait quietly or I'll kill your hikari."
.
A flash of fear and anger flashes across Marik's face as Malik screams in pain.
.
"Are we clear?" She waits for him to answer and gets silence. "Good boy."
.
.
-- Marik's POV --
.
Hmph. And people think I'm evil? I'll show her. She'll pay for hurting Malik.
.
/-/ Are you going to be alright, pet? /-/
/ Yes. What did she do to me? /
/-/ I'm not sure. I think she's somehow able to control the gravity around her. /-/
/ Lovely. /
/-/ Don't worry, pet. I'll make sure she pays for hurting you. /-/
/ Marik, I don't think it's a good idea to pick a fight with her. /
/-/ Don't worry, pet. After all of this is over, I'll make it up to you. I'll even let you be seme! /-/
/ Sigh. Sex fiend. /
.
.
-- Talya's POV --
.
[ Hey, guess what? Marik is planning to get back at you.]
[ [ Hmph. How unoriginal.] ]
[ Yup. And you're freaking Bakura out a little. He's awarded you the title of scariest person in the room!]
[ [ Wow. I'm honored, especially coming from a nut like him and Marik in the room. Anything from Yami yet?] ]
[ No. He keeps playing the day over and over in his mind. It's actually kinda interesting. He even walked in on Yuugi while he was masturbating. ]
[ [ No Way!! Poor Yuugi, that's almost as bad as having your parents walk in on you. ] ]
[ Yeah and the conversations he had with Yuugi and Ryou were pretty twisted. ]
[ [ If Malik and Marik hadn't intruded onto his mind would Yuugi and Ryou still be here? ] ]
[ Sigh. Not really sure. They probably would be but he'd still be a time bomb. They might not have died today but tomorrow, who knows? He has too many issues. He's not adjusting at all. Bakura and Marik are more at ease with their lust for their hikaris. Of course they don't have that holier than thou mentality. If Yami had just accepted what he felt and maybe even spoke up about it, there would have never been a problem at all. If Marik and Malik had left him alone, he would have coped eventually. ]
[ [ Well that ship has sailed… what's wrong? ] ]
[ Someone's here… a spirit. Ryou? ]
"One more time, Yami. Where's the book?"
[ Fiona, break two more ribs. ]
[ [ Done. But what about, Ryou? Are you sure it's him? ] ]
[ No. But it's trying to get Bakura's attention. ]
.
What the hell is going on? I sense no malice. It's desperate to be recognized. If it is Ryou, why is he here? What does he want to say?
.
[ Fiona, keep the pressure on them. I'm gonna try and get the spirit's attention. Bakura's oblivious to it and it's starting to panic. ]
[ [ Okay. ] ]

Chris: Woohoo! Go me! Another update in less than 9 months! I guess hell has frozen over after all. XD I was going to post this a little later in the month; but because I'm going into hiding for a week, I'm doing it now before I leave town again. It's my birthday is on the 29th and it's a big number so I don't wanna deal with anyone… unless it's for reveiws or presents. {hint, hint. nudge, nudge.} If you wanna know how ancient I'm gonna be, ask and maybe if you beg really good I'll tell ya. But I'm pretty much in denial right now so getting me to admit to it won't be likely unless I already know you. Well, I hope ya'll like my 2 original characters, Talya and Fiona. :-) Never fear, they are NOT Mary Sues. I'd kill myself and burn this fic before THAT would ever happen. . They're just there to be a pain in the ass and… well, you'll see.
Tigerlily: For the whooping 5 people who reviewed, you get our love and adoration. So lots of love to RinHikari, SoulDreamer, Cao, Kanatasha and Koishii No Tenshi.
Fiona: That's it?! Man that sucks! Can't you give them anything good? In those chapters where you had everyone and their dog reviewing, you gave away tons of plushies.
Talya: She's right, what a jip. They should get something really good to still be willing to stick it out after such a long wait. .
Tigerlily: Such as? She's run out of ideas for plushies.
Fiona: Anzu voodoo doll? :-)
Talya: She can say, "Ouch." and "Friends don't hurt friends, ouch!" when you stab her. :-)
Chris: Works for me! :-) Everyone gets a talking Anzu voodoo doll.
Tigerlily: Read and review. Reviews make Chris's sad existence worth living because she's egomaniac.
Chris: Am not!
Tigerlily: . And she's in denial too. So review and give her something nice for her birthday. Remember, nice people get plushies and flamers get mocked on her web page and possibly put in her other fic, Yami and Hikari Torture 101. Heh, heh.
