This idea came from the confusion of Malik and Yami Malik's names in fanfiction. This is also the first piece that I will feature them. I don't really like them, but oh well…

DISCLAIMER: Does anyone own Yu-Gi-Oh around here? I didn't think so. Well… maybe that one Asian guy does.

RATED: PG. I'm making this one pretty clean, even though there are senseless acts of violence…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malik Ishtar was sitting in his living room, reading 101 Great Ways to Terrorize People With Your Motorcycle. "Hmm… So you can commit arson with one… Nice…" (The author does not recommend that you do that, but Malik does… O_o)

His erratic-haired form entered and seated himself on his lap. "Dearest hikari of mine," he pleaded. (Malik's a hikari?! O_O J/K! XD) "What is my name?"

Exasperated, Malik set his book down and sighed. "For the last time… You're my Yami, and you are pretty much a psycho(er) version of me, so your name is Yami Malik!"

"Nooooooo, I hate that name!" the darkness child replied. "I wanna be Ishtar!"

"That's my last name! Wouldn't people become confused?!"

"Ryou's yami gets to be called Bakura…" Yami Malik whined. "Why can’t I share your name…?"

"Well, I don’t want to cause too much bewilderment among our enemies…"

"MAAAAAAAAAAAALIIIIIIIIIIIIK!!!" Yami Malik bounce up and down like a three-year-old child. "YUCKY NAME! YUCKY NAME! YUCKY NAME!!!" He began throwing lamps, furniture, and other valuables across the room. Some of them even struck Malik.

"OWW!!! RA TAP-DANCING SEKMHET! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU, YOUNG MAN?!?!?!"

"I WANNA NEW NAME! I WANNA NEW NAME! MALIK!!!" Yami Malik threw himself on the floor, creating another temper tantrum.

"If you'd only ask for one politely…!" Malik growled.

"M-may I have a new one…?" Yami Malik sniffed. "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?" His eyes enlarged and sparkled freakily (Kind of like Yugi's… O.o).

The blonde hikari huffed an anime mushroom cloud. "Fine… You can be… Marik."

"Thank you, Hikari!" Marik grinned and hugged his pissed-off counterpart.

Sorry, MxM fans, but I didn't want any yaoi in this story…

Malik: >( You're so mean!

Marik: How could you keep me away from my koi…?! >O

O_O; Well, I just might have some MalikxMarik action in the next chapter…

Malik: Good! >)

Marik: >| You'd better…
