The Yami Switch!

Yugi was unfortunate enough to wonder what would happen if Ryou didn't have Bakura as a yami in just the right circumstances. Next thing he and Ryou know, Bakura is the pharaoh and Yami is dying his hair white.

Yugi: Uh boy.
Specter: You sound like this is a bad thing.
Ryou: Isn't it though?
Bakura, Yami: It's terrible! We can't switch bodies!
Yugi: Come to think of it…
Ryou: For them it might be interesting.
Specter: I knew you'd see it my way.
Bakura: I hate you.
Yami: Me?
Bakura: No! I mean yes! I wasn't talking to you! Anime forehead pulse
Specter: Ryou, if you'd be so kind…
Ryou: Specter does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! in any way other than her demented mentality, but I advise not suing that…
Specter: I'll save my shuth for later.

Yugi's Fault

"Thanks for inviting me over, Ryou."

"No problem. I thought we could use a nice change of pace," said Ryou, smiling as he opened his apartment door. Yugi closed it behind him, somewhat apprehensively.

"You're sure that Bakura won't be mad?" asked Yugi. "Or something along those lines?" He and Ryou walked down the hall to the living room and saw Bakura, sprawled out on the couch, TV remote in hand, fast asleep. Ryou put his bag on the low cocktail table, Yugi watching him confused.

"He'll be 'something along those lines' in a minute," said Ryou. He moved to the head of the couch and carefully leaned over, face nearing the tomb raiders. Yugi started to blush. Anime circle cloud

"R—Ryou, you don't have to do all that!" he stammered. "I mean—"

"BAKURA!" Ryou shouted. Yugi Anime fallback

"AAARRGGGHHHHH!" Bakura Anime fallback… fall-off couch

"WAKE UP!"

"GOD DAMN IT, I'M AWAKE!" He pointed to Ryou behind him, glaring at the British boy. "What the hell did I say about—!" Ryou grabbed his wrist and moved his hand so it pointed at Yugi. Bakura sat up. "Why is he here?" Yugi anime sweatdrop

"I invited him over to study. Just him and not the Pharaoh, who'd be trying to duel you while you strangle him," said Ryou brightly. Yugi bigger anime sweatdrop, Bakura anime sweat drop

"You say that like it's an ordinary event," grumbled Bakura.

"Isn't it?" said Ryou, smile dropping. "Oh well. You're always complaining I never give you fair warning to when I have company, so I thought I'd give you a fair warning today." Ryou picked up his bag and led Yugi down the hall to his room, Bakura staring unpleasantly at him until he vanished from view.

"Was there any point in that?" asked Yugi, sitting on Ryou's bed.

"To warn him that you were here like I said. And it was fun."

"I heard that," growled Bakura, stalking past the room.

"No you didn't," said Ryou. The grave robber's face reappeared in the doorway, only to be shut out by Ryou slamming the door. "See? He's a barrel of laughs!"

"Ehehehehe…" laughed Yugi nervously. Anime sweatdrop "Sure!"

An hour or so passed by without too much incident as Ryou and Yugi finished homework and studied for some upcoming tests. Except for these weird irregular slamming sounds… Yugi would look up every time he heard the front door slam, even after Ryou said it was just Bakura trying to catch someone off guard and send them to the Shadow Realm. It made Yugi uneasy, but he tried to ignore it and pray every time that no one was out there to be caught.

"Finally," said Yugi, stacking his textbooks and shoving them in his bag. "We are done. Happy, happy, oh yeah, happy." Ryou laughed.

"I think we've earned something to eat, if there is anything decent left in the fridge," said Ryou. "Bakura eats like the madman he is; I still don't know where he puts it all." He and Yugi entered the kitchen; Yugi sat on a bar stool at the island as Ryou opened the fridge and cupboards. Bakura had reclaimed his spot on the couch again, just within plain view of Yugi. The sharp dark chocolate colored eyes never left Yugi's face.

Poor Ryou, thought Yugi. He has such a mean yami, but he's really nice and friendly. Ryou puts up with Bakura, even makes fun out of stuff that would scare the living sh-t outta me. Bakura was looking to kill and Ryou just took it in strides and pointed at me. It's not fair to Ryou… I wish there was a way for him to switch places with somebody…anybody who isn't so mean.

"Oi! You, mate! Yugi, snap out of it."

"Wha? Oh yeah." Yugi caught a whiff of melted butter. He turned and saw Ryou holding out a bag of popcorn. "Popcorn!" (A/N: I made Yugi psycho over popcorn, go me! This will show up some time later.) He grabbed the bag and dumped the contents into his mouth. "Mmmmmm…" Ryou anime sweatdrop Yugi swallowed hard.

"Oookay…" said Ryou, throwing the bag away. "I'm glad you didn't take my hand with you." The doorbell resounded throughout the apartment. "Bakura!"

"I'm getting it, give me minute." Yugi mushroom sigh Finally he stopped staring at him. Geez! If he had Ryou's experience with Bakura's temper he might've said, "I know I'm cute but damn, I'm only Yami's object of fascination like that." He still probably would've been punked…

"You sure that's a good idea?" asked Yugi. Ryou grinned.

"If there's one thing I learned it's that you can never say you're sure, because anything can happen," said Ryou. Yugi anime sweatdrop.

"I guess—"

"AAAAAAH!"

"That was Bakura!" gasped Ryou.

"And Yami too!" The two hikaris rushed out to the door. Still inside the threshold, Bakura lay flat on his back. Outside the door, Yami lay the same way. "Yami!" cried Yugi, kneeling next to him. The sharp amethyst eyes were dull and pupiless. "Yami, speak to me!"

"Bring him inside, Yugi," said Ryou, supporting Bakura. With some difficulty, Yugi brought Yami to a hunched standing, arm wrapped around Yugi's neck. He followed Ryou—who was having a lot less trouble carrying the heavier yami in Yugi's eyes—and sat the reincarnated pharaoh on the couch. Yami's head lolled to the right, slumping on Bakura's shoulder.

"What do you think happened to them?" asked Ryou.

"Beats me," answered Yugi. Silence hung thick for a moment.

"We've got to do something," said Ryou finally. At that moment, the two alter egos stirred.

"You're alright!" said Yugi, hugging Yami.

"Get off me!" Yami snarled. He gasped clasping a hand to his mouth. He turned to his right to see an equally horrorstruck Bakura.

"AAAAAHH!" Yami stood up Anime stars and bashed Bakura.

"HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY BODY, PHARAOH?" Yami shouted. Mega Anime forehead pulse (a/n: I suddenly started thinking bout that scene in Demon Diary volume one…)

"WHY THE HELL WOULD I WANNA STEAL YOUR BODY?" retorted Bakura. Anime tear on one eye (a/n: I don't know how to explain that one very well, the one where their not crying but they admit their hurt) "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I WANT TO STEAL YOUR BODY? YOU'RE THE THIEF DAMN IT, HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY BODY?" Yami, Bakura anime forehead pulse

"THEN WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?" Something clicked in the back of Yugi's mind.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooh man…" moaned Yugi. "Ryou, I think I switched them on accident."

"How?" asked Ryou.

"Why, aibou? What did I ever do wrong?" whined Bakura. Anime squiggly tears (a/n: you know the ones I'm talking about right?)

"I wished that Bakura would switch places with someone so you wouldn't have to put up with him," said Yugi. Yami anime forehead pulse "I think it worked because they were in the presence of Sennen Items."

"Switch us back, damn it!" said Yami.

"Question," said Ryou, hand in the air. Everyone else looked at him. Ryou put his hand down. "I never knew I was so commanding. Well now, I was just wondering why exactly Yami, now Bakura, was here in the first place."

"Yugi didn't tell me whether he was going to be here or at home," said Bakura. "I forgot about coming here when he was an hour later than normal." Bakura anime sweatdrop, hand behind head "I went around town and didn't remember till just now." Everyone else anime fallback

"Well Yugi… I hate to point fingers but this is your fault," said Ryou. "Do you think you can undo it?"

"Um…" said Yugi. Bakura looked pleadingly at him, Yami ready to kill if he so much as uttered the consonant 'n.' "I don't have the slightest clue…" Anime sweatdrop Yami and Bakura looked at each other, tears of total screwedness in their eyes.

"We are so damned," said Yami.

"Agreed," said Bakura. There was a pause.

"KILL HIM!" Yami and Bakura proceeded to beat the reincarnated shit out of each other.

"Some things never change…" said Ryou . Yugi anime fall back Ryou was smiling.
