Hi everyone! Sorry about updating so late, I have been really busy! I decided to update because today is Friday in Australia, and it is my birthday! Well, this is a chapter explaining the phone call Mokuba got about someone being taken to the Domino Institute for Psychotic Animals! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I got YuGiOh for my birthday! YAY! But sadly, I do not own a canary, or a museum. Next year maybe?
Marik Ishtar was waiting for his sister to come back from the pet store; she had told him she was getting a pet today, and Marik couldn't wait to see what it was. He heard the keys in the front door, and raced to greet his sister. "Hey Ishizu, what did you get at the pet store? Is it something cool, hey what's in that bird cage? Is it a vulture, or maybe a raven?" Ishizu took of the cage cover to reveal a terrible, gruesome and fearful…canary.
Marik felt his jaw drop to the ground. His sister had bought a measly canary? What about pit bulls that ripped other dogs throats out or cats that hissed and bared their claws at strangers! "Sister, why did you get a canary? What do we need it for? Are we going to wring its neck and roast it over the barbecue for dinner tonight? Because other than that I see no other use for a stupid, yellow puffball!"
Ishizu glared at Marik. "Do not speak about my pet that way, we will NOT be eating him and he is not a puffball! By the way, he has a name, it's Chirps! You will treat Chirps as one of the family, like you would treat Odion!" Marik glared at Chirps, who seemed to glare back. "Stupid puffball," he muttered. "Gah, what the fck!" Chirps the canary had escaped its cage and began to swoop over Marik's head, dive-bombing him from the lounge room chandelier. Marik managed to grab the canary by the throat and began to squeeze.
Chirps let out three high pitched shrieks and Ishizu ran swiftly into the room, having left to hang up the cage. "Marik, put Chirps down!" she roared, her face as red as a sunset in Egypt. Marik cursed under his breath, and made a note to strike Ishizu with bubonic plague as soon as he got around to finding a capsule of the disease in the high tech hospital research centre down the other end of town. He dropped the bird on the floor, and it landed at an angle, one winged splayed oddly on the floor.
"Marik, you idiotic fool, you could have broken its wing!" Ishizu looked like an erupting volcano as she swept the canary off the floor. Marik rolled his eyes, walking up to his room. He went down two hours later to find Ishizu out of the house, and Chirps at the bottom of the stairs, chirping evilly. Chirps froze, and then turned to look at Marik, who was paralyzed with fear. Wait a second, fear? The almighty Marik Ishtar, father killer and tomb keeper is afraid of a mere canary? (Marik: Shut up!) Shutting up now, don't mind me, I am just the authoress of this story...
Marik began to retreat slowly back up the stairs, being watched by the evil canary, before starting to run. "SCHREE!" The canary was flying towards him, gaining on him. Marik saw a sharp beak aimed right for his left eye and it was one inch away before…Marik ducked, turned around and slid down the stair railings. He ran towards the front door, to find it locked, Ishizu having taken the keys. WHAM! He felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and turned around.
There he found Chirps the canary perched on his couch, with a beak dripping blood all over the Persian carpet, and impaled on its beak was Marik's human brain! Nah, just kidding. Actually, the bird held Marik's Egyptian God card, the Winged Dragon of Ra, in its beak. "Hey, give me back my God Card!" Marik screamed, furious at the bird that seemed intent on killing him. He lunged at the bird, a crazed glint in his eyes.
The bird took flight, launching itself around the room with one flap of it's weak wings. Marik chased after the bird for at least half an hour, before giving up and resting on the couch. All of a sudden, the canary swooped down to land in front of him, sitting on the coffee table; holding the God Card out to Marik. Marik took the card from the canary, and was starting to think maybe the bird wasn't so bad after all, when he felt something sticky on the palm of his hand.
"YOU LITTLE BUGGER!" Marik was furious! "YOU COME BACK HERE, NOBODY SHITS ON MARIK ISHTAR'S GOD CARD AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" Marik screamed bloody murder, and the bird seemed to smirk before flying around the room. Marik ran after the bird, and then the bird was on a pillow, having landed. "Oh, I have you now you little bugger, come to Marik!" He crept forward, edging closer to the bird. When he was about five metres away he began to run at the bird, who took of at an immense pace. Marik found that he couldn't stop.
'Oh well, I will just collide with this pillow, no harm done,' he thought. But when he hit the pillow, the cover came off; revealing that what he had actually ran into was the canary's STEEL cage. Marik discovered his head trapped inside the cage, but found nothing else. He couldn't remember who he was or where he was. "Who am I?" Marik wondered aloud. "What is my name?"
He looked at the tag hanging in front of his eyes. "Ch-Chirps the ca-ca-canary!" Marik read, finding it difficult to read after having such a nasty bump on the head. "Okay, so my name is Chirps, and I'm a canary," he said uneasily. 'Well,' he thought, 'If I am a canary I should act like one.' Marik got down to the ground and began flapping his arms, going, "Tweet, tweet!" He jumped around with each flap of his wings. He didn't look where he was going and jumped into the museum gardens, which were just next to his window, as he lived with his sister on site at the museum.
People began looking at him and pointing, and sooner or later, the men in the white suits came to take Marik away to the Domino Institute for Psychotic Animals. Later that night, Ishizu got a call going,
"Hello, Miss Ishtar, we just wanted to tell you that your brother stuck his head in a canary cage and has acted like a canary for the past seven hours, sorry for the lateness of alerting you, but we accidentally called that Kaiba kid instead. You can visit you brother at the Domino Institute for Psychotic Animals tomorrow, when he is safe to visit. Goodbye."
Ishizu looked at Chirps, who was nestled into a pillow, smirking as much as a bird can smirk. When Marik got out of the institute they were going to have a lot of fun…
Well that was the chapter! I would like to thank:

silver-dagger-113 –I am pleased you liked it so much! I hope this chapter eased your curiosity! Thanks for reviewing!
yugirules –Even better than the last? Yeah, I thought so! Yami the porcupine was a very interesting little character, wasn't he? Poor Joey, his crotch the victim of a midget porcupine. I have a knack for this? Woah, I didn't think I had a knack for any genre except angst, thanks! Much love and thanks for reviewing!
Luwa –Yep, Joey was bitten on the crotch, poor puppy! Oh well, he'll be alright, although his dignity won't! Thanks for reviewing!
Dark Magician Girl Hikaru –Hm, very crazy you say? Good to know, it was intended to be crazy! Poor Yami, he was forgotten so easily; I wonder if the new Yami kept Yugi company well? Thanks so much for reviewing!
Stormrose Dewleaf –Yep, the midget porcupines are coming. There is one ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them…unfortunately the ring that controls said porcupines is owned by Bakura, and he is away on vacation in the shadow realm! Tell Tamara to butt out! Joey deserved a bite on the crotch simply because he mistook Yami the porcupine for Yugi. Thanks for reviewing!
