Normal POV~
-Earlier-
Yami and his friends were walking back to their dorm, school had ended and they just wanted to take a nap. Well, after eating of course.
"Cookies?" Malik offered, taking out some flower and other ingredients.
"Chocolate chip cookies, Oreo cookies, and how about m&m cookies?" Bakura suggested, plopping onto the couch where all their backpacks were.
"Then I'll help," Yami said, closing the book he was reading and walking over to Malik. Malik nodded and handed him a bowl. The two boys began making cookies, various cookies to be exact. The even ate chocolate chips unconsciously and threw some over to Bakura with giggles, Bakura noticed and growled.
"Hey! It's not funny! It's getting in my hair..." The albino whined, picking off the chocolate chips from his snow hair. Yami and Malik giggled again.
"Aw, poor Bakura! We're sorry! Aren't we Yami?" Malik teases, nudging Yami with his elbow. Yami sent him a wink.
"Of course we are! Forgive us!" Yami tried his hardest to not laugh, whilst Malik laughed behind his hand.
"Alright, I for-" Bakura stopped his sentence as he looked towards his best friends, watching them as they showed their lies. His usually pale face turned red from both embarrassment and anger.
"Hey! Come on!" The elder huffed and stormed over to his laughing 'siblings'.
"We're just having fun." Yami whimpered, puppy eyes were planted onto his face. It made him look like a puppy since he was sitting on the floor. Malik copied his actions. Oreo woke up from his afternoon nap and cocked his head at his owner and friends.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just finish up the cookies pups." Bakura said and patted their head, not after giving them a kiss on the head teasingly. Yami purred and Oreo came running to him. Malik got out of the way and let Oreo jump on his owner.
"Oreo!" Yami exclaimed, laughing as his kitten nuzzled him. Malik and Bakura smiled fondly at the two, Yami had said multiple times Oreo reminded him of The Pharaoh and kept him close, heck, he even smelled like him. Malik nodded over to Bakura and Bakura nodded, the two made the cookies while Yami played with Oreo. Giggles and laughs filled the room, Bakura satisfyingly smiled with Malik.
"Shoot! There are no m&ms!" Yami looked up from Oreo and stared at his friends.
"I'll go buy some, while doing that, Oreo could have his afternoon walk." Yami suggested, Malik nodded.
"Alright, stay safe," He said, Yami pouted.
"I'm eighteen, I'll be okay." With that said, Yami walked out the door with Oreo trailing behind him.

"Are you excited for the cookies, Oreo?" Yami cooed as he petted Oreo's fur for a second. Oreo nuzzled Yami's leg, saying yes, but also saying something else.
"Yes Oreo, I got you some Oreo's too, but I can only give you a bit, remember?" People sent Yami strange looks as if he was mental since he was talking to a cat. But they didn't understand! Yami understood Oreo and Oreo understood him. They looked away when Oreo seemed to glare at them, Yami didn't notice, however.
"I really want to eat some right now, how about we-" Oreo looked up at his owner when he stopped walking as well as talking. Oreo noticed his owner staring at a park, the sun reflected on the small lake, kids were taking their mother's hands to go home because night time was coming. Instead of continuing walking back home, Yami walked to the park. His destination was getting to the tree, a beautiful green tree.
"Oreo, this is where The Pharaoh and I shared our first date, I cherish this park so much for that reason," Yami told his furry friend. Oreo stared at the lake, seeing the moon about to rise. The creature waited for his owner to continue talking, but he never did, he just stared out into the lake like him.
-Eleven-thirty p.m.-
"Malik, I didn't find him," Bakura said. Yami had not returned home, it was almost midnight and his best friends were worried.
"Did you try that park? You know, the one he cherishes?" Malik offered. Bakura mentally slapped himself, of course, he would be there, why didn't he think of that place?
"Silly me! I'm going there right now!" Bakura exclaimed, running to the park. A few moments after running, the albino stopped and decided to take a breather. He leaned on the building and caught his breath for a while, however, before he could start running again, a shadow appeared in the corner of his eye and he heard a groan. Bakura turned his head and was startled at what he saw.
"AKEFIA!?" Bakura shouted in shock. Akefia looked at him and his eyes widened.
"Bakura?"

"Where are they? They should be back by now, wouldn't they? Gods, I'm starting to sound like a mother." Malik whined as he placed down a book. He stood up and grabbed a cookie from the now full cookie jar. Yami never came back with the sweets and they couldn't finish what they wanted. Bakura should've found him right now, right?
"Jeez, life is hard. I'm going to quote Yami in that." Malik sighed, but he then giggled.
"Yami being quoted, he always starts a new quote to replace-" Just then, a shadow appeared in front of him, making its presence known by being close to the light. Malik frighteningly screamed and threw the cookie jar at it, it broke on the shadow -How did that happen? Malik thought-. The shadow fell onto the floor and let out a startled yelp.
"Are you okay! I didn't mean to startle you!" The shadow shouted guiltily. Malik's eyes widened, he recognized that voice.
"Marik? Marik is that you?" Marik appeared out of the shadow and took a bite out of the cookie.
"That tastes good! Of course, it's me, Malik!"

"Fuck! What the hell does that mean?" Seto exclaimed, tangling his hands into his hair. His secretary sighed and rubbed her temples.
"Mr. Kaiba, it means you need to explain why the product you currently made is malfunctioning when it turns on, what do you need to fix it?" She explained. She has noticed that the past year Seto Kaiba had been acting strangely, that Seth person who was supposedly on 'vacation' hasn't come back. The secretary thinks they should contact him and bring him back.
"Oh, right, I knew that. Anyway, be a doll and get out of my sight." Kaiba said, the secretary flushed a tiny bit and nodded. Seto glared at the paper and took hold of his pencil to start a draft. He had no clue when a shadow appeared and formed a body, had no idea when that shadow silently approached him after it blinked a few times.
"That word isn't used correctly in the sentence, try inconvenient," The tall figure said, Seto jumped and snapped his head back.
"Missed me? Love?" Seth questioned, wrapping an arm around his lover and bringing their faces close together. After getting out of the shock, Seto smirked and nodded.
"What do you think?"
***
"Téa, look, I don't know why I'm here, but could you please let me breathe!" Anzu exclaimed, Téa let her go from the hug and apologetically looked at her.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy to see you." The tanned brunette raised an eyebrow at her friend.
"Is it my birthday or something? I thought it was February." Anzu wondered out loud, Téa giggled and shook her head.
"No, silly. The reason I'm happy to see you is that you're back, I missed you so much." She explained, Anzu plopped on the chair and nodded.
"I see, anything happened since I was gone?" The tan girl questioned, her reincarnation made an 'O' shape with her mouth.
"Oh, about that..." Anzu glared at her.
"Choose your next words carefully." Téa gulped and nodded.
"I'm friends with some people, a person you dislike deeply," Anzu nodded and let her continue.
"I'm friends with Yami Motou, your enemy..."

"Oh, that, well, that's the moon," Yami said while Oreo looked at it lustily. Yami giggled.
"It's not a bowl of milk, Oreo. I'll get you one when we get back home." Yami promised and Oreo nuzzled him.
"Speaking of home, I think we should go now. It's already dark." Making his move to stand, Yami stopped and cocked his head. What was that standing in the distance, it freaked him out. Apparently, Oreo saw it too and took his stance.
"It's just standing there..." He whispered. Yami sat there and waited for the person to leave, but why did it seem oddly familiar.
"It's walking here!" Yami looked away and pretended to act like he wasn't looking at it. Oreo, on the other hand, ran to the figure, Yami's eyes widened.
"Oreo! Where are you going!" Yami exclaimed, running after him. The figure identified the young adult and ran to him as well.
"Yami, slow down!" The figure yelled, Yami gasped and lost his pace. He tripped on nothing and fell in the worst place possible right now, the lake. The pale man yelped and shivered, the water was cold as hell!
"Oh, dear..." The soothing voice remarked, as Yami looked up, his orbs filled with tears. A tan hand reached out towards him.
"I apologize, Yami," Atem said, smiling kindly.
