Genie of the Puzzle

31: Keeping his promise

The castle was restored to normal, and the skies had returned to the color blue. The carpet returned to normal and Joey became a pup- I mean human again.
Yugi's clothes returned to his bondage slave look (as Yami had called it), and the Sultan wore that feather in his head again. Oh, and Jaden was returned to a Kuriboh. Then again, he'd never really changed...

"You little genie-us, you!" The genie said to Yami, smiling. Get it...? Genius? Genie-us...?
*crickets chirping*

The genie reached over and ruffled Yami's hair, but to her surprise it stayed in place. Her blue hand still shuffled his hair around, but still it stuck back up and remained in place.

Yami just shrugged.

"Idiots! I will destroy you! You don't EVER mess with me!" Bakura's voice was muffled from inside the lamp. "I will get out! I WILL end you all!!!"

The genie smiled. "It actually looks like a lamp, now. Huh."

I WAS GONNA MAKE IT THE MILLENIUM RING BUT I FORGOT, OKAY!?!?!?

The lamp on the floor became a ring in that very moment.

There. Fixed it. All better.

"Okay..." Yami warily picked it up and handed it to the genie. "Take it. I don't wanna touch it."

"AY, Yams?" Joey called from behind them. "Whaddya think we do wid dis guy?"

Marik had the magic carpet tied around him like a straight jacket. "Hey, careful! Don't wrinkle my shirt!"

"Logically, we should lock him up or something, right?" Yugi asked, keeping his distance from the ring and hid behind Yami.

With the ring in her hands, the genie came up with a thought. "You know what? Let him go."

"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled.

"I'm only genie to gay people, and I wouldn't be a good genie if I didn't help out."

Marik said, "But I'm not-!"

"Hush." The genie had the carpet release him, and she handed him the ring. "Rub it."

"What?"

"WHAT?!"

"STOP YELLING AT ME IN UNISON!!!" The genie yelled, and then guided Marik's hands to rub the ring.

Out came Bakura the genie, and he took form of how he always looked, and instantly he charged for Yami and tackled him to the ground.

Thunder clouds rumbled overhead and his eyes glowed yellow.
"I'LL. MAKE. YOU. PAY!!!"

He sent a bolt of lightning down to strike him, but it stopped before it could even touch him.

"What?!" Bakura was confused. Then he made a knife appear in his hands. "I'll do it manually!"

Yugi tugged on the genie's arm, seeing she wasn't concerned in the slightest; in fact, she was smiling. "Help him, maybe?!"

Bakura attempted to stab Yami, but his arms swerved away every time he tried. "Bloody hell?!"

The genie approached him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"As the president of genie club, I feel I should inform you on our few quid pro quos, provisos, and several other rules of genie-ism."

"Rules?!"

"First off, whoever rubbed the lamp and freed you is now your master."

Bakura's eyes widened and his heart (if he had one) sunk. "...who...?"
