Found them. They're separated. [Bakura held the ring in his hands, the charms that hung at its sides now pointing in the direction of their targets.]

[Nearby, Malik smirks at the news, his face mostly concealed beneath hood of his purple cloak.]
Good. You take Eleanor, and I'll get Harriet then. You know what to do from there.

[Bakura leers in the direction of his target, smirking.] Understood. It should be easy.

[The Egyptian, in return, turns towards his own target and lets out a small laugh.] Hehe...I'll meet you back at the cave then. We'll lure in Henry and Rosenkreuz once we've got the girls.

[Malik wipes some of the sweat from his brow, gulping and taking a minute to shake off the lightheaded feeling his stress and injury had caused him.

Once he's feeling well enough to talk, he glances down at the rabbit in disgust.]

I'm not eating that.

[He starts to tentatively open up the can of peas. Although right now his appetite is waning, even if eating is bound to make him feel better.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...I wasn't talking about- Tch! Never mind!

[Bakura himself is no longer hungry at all, so he simply leaves the rabbit where it is. If nothing else, it'll bother Malik.]

[obeytherod]

[With the can open, Malik slowly begins to eat the less-than-fresh veggies. He doesn't even finish half the can before deciding he can't take anymore of it, and that he's simply not hungry. It wasn't a good start, considering he hadn't eaten since mid-day yesterday.]

Let's just get moving.

[fluffydeathdealer]

You should probably eat more than that. But if you're sure, then fine.

[Stooping, he scoops Malik up in his arms once more.]

Grab the bag.

[obeytherod]

I'm definitely done.

[Just being scooped up like that, bridal style or not, didn't really bother Malik. Really, it just made him feel as if he had Bakura under his thumb.

That and he didn't want to walk anyway...]

[Wordlessly, Malik grabs the bag with one arm, pulling the strap over his shoulder so it can hang down below him as he folds his arms over his chest. He would really be rocking the "great leader being carried around by his loyal servants" look right now if not for his sickly appearance.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[For Bakura, it was nothing to do with being under anyone's control. It was simply the easiest thing to do under this situation. He had his suspicions as to what Malik was thinking, based solely on his lack of protests.

Without bothering to correct him, he headed swiftly towards the mountain Malik had pointed out.]

[obeytherod]

[Malik wouldn't sleep this time, but he did rest his eyes and reflect on their situation as much as his foggy mind would allow.

A while into their walk, he speaks again.]

Right now...Rosenkreuz is our greatest enemy. Not only does he have a Blue-Eyes, but my Rod. We need to get rid of him before even thinking of the Pharaoh.

I don't want to live out of the jungle forever. [Although it still beat the tomb by a long shot.]

But we can't be careless either. He knows how the Rose Cards work.

[fluffydeathdealer]

We're going to need to set a trap, then. Fighting him head-on isn't going to be wise.

[His mind momentarily flickers to the girl with the dragon spirit, but no. At most, she'd be on equal match with Rosenkreuz's Blue Eyes. He needs something that will surpass it.]

Perhaps we can lure him in. Regain our strength, find a ground that's beneficial to us, and draw him in by offering to trade the Rose Cards for the Rod.

...at any rate, I'm going to need to change my deck.

[obeytherod]

[Malik hums thoughtfully.]

We'll trade him the cards, and once I get my Rod back I can use it to delve into his mind and find out how they work.

[There's a dangerous glint in his eye.] Then we kill him and take them back. We'll still need to change our decks, but Bakura... [He smirks.] We already have something that can beat the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...care to explain? The only thing I can think of on that level that I've ever seen you use is Ra.

[And he's not summoning Ra, goddammit.]

[obeytherod]

[Of course it's not--]

It is Ra, you insolent fool! If we sacrifice three monsters over 1000 attack points each, we can obliterate anything Rosenkreuz has to throw at us!

Keh heh heh...let him cower before my God card!

[fluffydeathdealer]

You're calling me a fool? You're the fool! You're talking about summoning a God, outside of a Shadow Game. Do you really think you can get out of that alive?!

[obeytherod]

Only I know how to awaken Ra's true power, Bakura. And Ra is the only card we have that can beat the Blue-Eyes White Dragon head-on!

[Furious, Malik shifts in Bakura's arms, leaning up a bit.] I want to see Rosenkreuz beg for his life before I make him suffer a pain thousands of times worse than what he caused me!

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

[He stares down at Malik for a long moment before smirking. Seeing him like this was rather fascinating.]

Fine then, if that's what you want to do. But you're going to have to start with weaker monsters. While you're in this condition, you're going to have trouble summoning anything too strong.

[obeytherod]

[He settles down a bit, if only because his body is protesting having moved at all. S

But what was with that smirk? He leers at it.]

...Spirit Reaper and Sangan should do for now. I can practice with them.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heh. Maybe you should start with a Kuriboh.

[The joke comes easily to his lips. No regrets. It feels more normal, somehow, to tease Malik like this.]

[obeytherod]

...What's the difference between that and Spirit Reaper?

[Looks like Bakura's teasing attempts didn't work...for once!]

[fluffydeathdealer]

It matches you more.

[obeytherod]

[Or not. That worked.]

Hey! Kuriboh is the most useless monster in the game, don't insult me!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hm~... Don't jump to conclusions, Malik. You're so quick to assume an insult.

For all you know I just meant that the two of you have such similar looks.

[obeytherod]

[Similar--what?] ...How is that not an insult?!

[fluffydeathdealer]

I said 'for all you know'. Though you're both hilariously adorable when you're angry...

[obeytherod]

Ah-- [Malik snaps his jaw shut, fuming and flushed with irritation. All things considered, his face could use the color!]

You're a bastard. [He takes his finger, pressing and wriggling it again the wound beneath Bakura's bandage. Learn your place, partner!]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ow-!

[He winced, his breath catching. Pressing it would have been bad enough, but the feel of that finger moving against it was enough to send spikes of pain through his face.]

[obeytherod]

[His lip was swollen now from that bite earlier...Malik should really dig his nails in. But he's satisfied with stopping when a bit of blood stains the bandage for now.]
