A Day at the Park

A knock disturbed the quiet of Kaiba Seto's office. "Uh, Niisama [1]? Are you busy? Can I ask you a question?" Mokuba Kaiba pushed the door open slowly, entering almost timidly. He'd been walking on eggshells the past couple of days. His brother had been under a lot of stress and he had snapped at Mokuba more than a few times this week.
"What is it Mokuba?" His gaze didn't move from the computer screen on his desk that, no doubt, was displaying facts and figures detailing Kaiba Corps. annual sales but Mokuba knew he had his brother's attention now and moved closer to his desk.
"Well niisama," he began in his most sweet tone of voice, "There's a new theme park opening up tomorrow and I was wondering..."
Seto didn't even bother letting him finish "No." His continued typing was a dismissal but Mokuba wasn't about to give up that easily.
"Pleeeease Seto! I really want to go." His violet eyes shone pleadingly at his brother. "Please. Please niisama!"
Seto's eyes flicked from the screen to Mokuba's face back to the computer monitor. His quick strokes against the keys made sharp clacking noises, filling the silence as Mokuba waited, knowing that Seto would brake eventually. The typing stopped and Seto sighed, running his fingers through his hair, "Fine Mokuba. We'll go to the amusement park tomorrow. What time does it open?"
"Eleven." He lied with a sweet smile.
Seto's blue eyes conveyed his suspicion at his brother's all too quick answer, "Eleven? That's late, are you sure it opens at eleven, Mokuba?" He steepled his fingers in front of him and peered at his brother.
"Uhuh Seto, yep, I'm sure that's when it opens. You'll see, it'll be fun. And it'll be a chance for you to get away from the idiot underlings you always complain about. Anyway I'll let you get back to work. Thanks again, niisama! " Mokuba gave his brother his usual self-assured grin and left the room as quickly as was possible without looking like he was in a hurry.
Closing the door behind him he let out a relived sigh "Hmmm, I wonder if I should have told Seto that Yuugi and the rest of the gang would be there too?" he murmured to himself walking down the hall to his bedroom. "Naw..." His laughter could be heard even after he closed his door.

The next day arrived bright and sunny. A perfect day to go to a theme park. Apparently Mokuba wasn't the only person who thought so because the park was filled with laughing children, smiling adults, and, of course, lustful teenagers holding hands and making out every chance they could. One such teenage couple was walking towards the Ferris wheel. Well, not really walking, but rather one was dragging the other in that direction despite the dragee's protest of, "But I told the other's we'd meet them at the main entrance at eleven! Bakura! Let me go! We have to go meet them."

Bakura turned to his boyfriend and lighter half, amused annoyance drifting on his voice. "Now, now, my sweet koi [2]. We'll meet your friends soon. But first some time alone." He purred into Ryou's ear. Despite the fact that he was still struggling, albeit with lesser and lesser conviction, the words had the desired effect and a small shiver ran through his lithe body. After that Bakura found that he was much easier to lead to the Ferris wheel.

Just as Ryou had said, in front of the main gate stood Yuugi, Jyounouchi, Anzu, Honda, Mai, and Ryuuji waiting for everyone else. "I wonder what's keeping Ryou and Bakura?" Anzu questioned aloud swinging her little Mokona shaped backpack around in small circles [3]. Yuugi's shoulders lifted and fell in a small shrug, "I don't know Anzu. Normally he's the first person to arrive. Maybe Bakura's holding him up."
Jyounouchi pulled his Duel Monsters deck out of his pocket and began to shuffle them in a habitual way. "Do you bring those everywhere with you?" Anzu asked.
"Yeah, of course I do, Anzu. You never know when someone might want to try their luck against the Duelist Kingdom second place duelist." He replied cockily.
"Luck is right." Honda muttered, just loudly enough that Jonouchi heard him.
"What'd you say?" Jyounouchi growled as Mai and Ryuuji chuckled at Honda's comment neither paying any attention to the Kaiba Corp. limousine that had pulled up at the curb.
"Hey look guys, Mokuba is here." Yuugi said quickly hoping to diffuse the situation. "And he brought Kaiba." Even though everyone, including Anzu, groaned Yuugi sounded as he always did, excited.
"Oh man. Tell me why we told Mokuba it was okay to bring him again?" Jyounouchi groaned.
"Because," Yuugi replied, waving to Mokuba and trying not to laugh at the shocked look that Kaiba was trying to hide, "Kaiba is Mokuba's big brother and I'm not going to tell him that Kaiba can't come if Mokuba wants him to. I wouldn't do that to you if you if Shizuka had wanted to come along."
"Yeah, but no one hates Shizuka." Jyounouchi muttered.
"Speaking of Shizuka, where is she? I figured she'd be here with you, Jyounouchi." Ryuuji questioned as the Kaiba brother's stopped a few feet away, seemingly arguing.
"When I called her last night she said she wasn't feeling well so I told her to stay home and rest today." He answered glaring at Kaiba.
"Oh, she's sick? Maybe she's lonely. I think I should go and keep her company." Honda said quickly about to walk off.
"Oh no, you should stay here Honda-san. I wouldn't want you to miss out on all the fun. I'll go." Ryuuji had grabbed Honda's coat and wasn't about to let go.
Jyounouchi threw his arms around both of their shoulders, turning them around to face the park. "Shizuka doesn't need either of you to keep her company. She told me she was having some friends over today to study for an exam." He released both of them as they muttered unhappily to themselves both forced to submit to the protective older brother's will.

While this had been going on the Kaiba brother's argument raged on, in a whisper, of course. "Mokuba, you didn't tell me that they would be here."
"I didn't think it was important, Seto. You know that they're my friends and they've helped me out a bunch of times. Why shouldn't I hang out with them?"
"I didn't say that you couldn't hang out with them." Seto hissed, "I said that you didn't tell me that they'd be here." He planted his hands on his hips, looking motherish. "You know I wouldn't have come if I had known they'd be here."
"Which is exactly why I didn't tell you." Mokuba sidestepped his brother, who was glaring icily at Mokuba, and smiled at Yuugi. "Hi Yuugi! Are we late?"
"No, we were a little bit early, actually. We're still waiting for Bakura and Ryou though. Hi Kaiba!" Yuugi smiled brightly, trying his best to make this situation better for everyone. He was honored with a disdainful stare from Kaiba. Mokuba frowned, "Niisama..." he implored, "Please?" He asked quietly. Inwardly Kaiba sighed but since this was Mokuba asking... "Yuugi." He nodded in acknowledgment but continued to ignore the rest of the others, which seemed to be fine with them. "I wonder where Ryou is...?" Anzu murmured again.

Ryou was, at that moment, sitting on Bakura's lap looking out at the view of Domino, idly playing with a few strands of Bakura's hair and trying his hardest to ignore what his dark was saying.
"Ryou, you have absolutely no sense of adventure. It's not like anyone would see us... I paid the guy operating this thing to keep us going around for thirteen times."
Ryou looked down quickly into Bakura's dark eyes, lost for words. He opened his mouth a couple times before anything would come out and even then it sounded more like a shrill squeak than words. "You what? No, I did not just hear that. Repeat yourself, please."
Bakura grinned devilishly at his koi's shock; "I said I paid the guy operating this giant wheel to keep us going around for thirteen times." He repeated grabbing his koi bringing him closer for a quick kiss.
Ryou blushed hotly, "No you didn't. Please tell me you didn't." He slid off of Bakura's lap evading his quick try to keep him upon his lap. Ryou settled happily on the bench across from Bakura, waiting patiently for an answer.
"Sure I didn't. Now, will you please come over here?" Ryou just crossed his arms across his chest and stared at Bakura. "No thank you. I like my seat here just fine."
Bakura sighed slumping slightly against the seat. He had seen Ryou like this before. It would be nearly impossible to get him to change his mind now. Unless... Bakura grinned liking this idea.
"What are you smiling about?" Ryou asked, a little afraid of the way his koi was smiling.
Bakura held up his index finger signaling Ryou to be quiet for a moment. The millennium ring began to glow and black fog filled the car. "See, now no one will see us." Ryou gave a small smile, thinking only Bakura...
Bakura took that as a yes to his earlier proposal and pounced.
Below them the ride operator determinedly ignored the sudden rocking of car twelve.

Seto turned to Mokuba "Mokuba, I'm not going to stand here all day. Either we go in or we leave." He stated coldly. He was faintly annoyed that Mokuba had tricked him but besides that he really could not stand to listen to these people. The past ten minuets had been filled with bickering between the make inu [4] and Honda, makeup tips from Ryuuji telling Mai about the best way to apply eye liner and which brand really didn't run when it got wet, and friendship rants from Anzu, all of which he could live without ever listening to. Mokuba was trying very hard to get Seto to give in with those horrible puppy dog eyes but this time it would not work. Seto shook his head ever so slightly and Mokuba gave up.

In car thirteen a young boy sat with his mother, looking out of the windows in wonder. "Wow mommy, look at all the buildings! They're so small!"
She smiled at her son, "Mmmhmm, Ken they are." The boy continued to look around running from side to side of the small enclosed space.
"Hey mommy? What's that sound? Why it the car below us rocking so much?" The woman had noticed the sound and quickly hid her blush. "Uh... It must be the wind blowing through the cracks, honey. Don't worry about it." Ken smiled "Oh, okay."

"Yuugi?" Mokuba said gaining the older boy's attention, "Maybe we should call Ryou."
"That sounds like an excellent idea." Mai whipped out her cell phone, a small purple and silver device with a Harpy Lady theme. A few quick keystrokes and she answered "Hello? Ryou, where the hell are you?"

Ryou jumped as his cell phone began to vibrate in his pocket. "Aah!" He cried out, blushing furiously when Bakura drawled "Liked that, didn't you?"
"N- no, I mean I did, but – My cell phone." He stuttered not making much sense. He pulled the still vibrating thing from his jeans waving it for a few moments in Bakura's face as if that would explain everything. "Moshi moshi." He answered breathlessly. "Where the hell are you?" Mai's irritated voice came though the phones speakers. "Urm... On the Ferris wheel?" Ryou said in a manner that was more of a question than an answer.
Outside at the main entrance birds flew away, startled, as Mai screeched "What?" Around her, her friends winced including Seto, who barely restrained himself from putting his hands over his ears. Ryou's reaction was much the same as the others, wincing, he held the phone a few inches away from his ear. "Mai-san, please don't yell."
Bakura's eyes lit up, "Mai?" he asked before snatching the phone. To some it seemed weird but Bakura loved to play practical jokes, especially on Mai. In the past few years they had come to something of a truce but even now it was not uncommon to see Mai, shrieking curses and running down the streets of Domino chasing a maniacally laughing Bakura. The last such incident was only a few weeks ago when Bakura had substituted her shampoo with black hair dye. Jyounouchi told her that it made her look sexy, trying to make her feel better. He slept on the couch at Yuugi's that night. "Mai- san! How are you this fine day?"
"Bakura, this would be a fine day if you'd explain to me why you kept us waiting here while you were up on the Ferris wheel doing god-knows-what with Ryou!" Around her the group of friends exchanged glances and Mokuba grinned, Kaiba just shook his head.
Bakura smirked "I'm sure he's not the only one who knows what." He replied in a suggestive voice. Next to him Ryou threw his hands up in the air "Oh god...!"
"Just get your ass down from that Ferris wheel and wait for us there." She began to lead the way into the park still clutching her cell phone to her ear.
"You mean my sexy ass, right Mai-san?" Bakura had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he said this. Mai was so entertaining.
Mai made a disgusted sound before hanging up barely catching the beginning of Bakura's laughing fit. He pulled Ryou to him stroking his koi's beautiful white hair relating the information to him. The black fog began to dissipate and they slowed to a stop. "Perfect timing." Bakura said, standing and pulling Ryou up with him. "Time to face our adoring public." He put his arm around Ryou's waist and stepped out into the sun facing a group of ticked off friends.
"Somehow," Ryou began softly, "I don't think they're all that adoring."

A/N: Hello all! How did you like it? This is my first attempt at writing a fic that isn't angsty or too slashy. I was hoping it'd turn out to be a little bit funny, but I'm not very good at that sort of thing so I don't really expect it to be. Anyway please review! Thanks a lot. There will be one more chapter to this. I'll try to have it up soon.

Other Notes:
1] Niisama is what Mokuba calls his brother. It's the shortened form of Oniisama, which is a respectful way of addressing your older brother.
[2] Koi is a shotening of the word koibito the word for boyfriend/girlfriend or lover.
[3] The Mokona shaped backpack is a reference to a character in CLAMP's Magic Knight Rayearth, he also appears in xxxHolic and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. He's pink with a red jewel on his head and pointy ears, think Kirby or Jigileypuff (sp?).
[4] Make inu is an insult that Seto calls Jonouchi in the Japanese version. Literally it means little fish.
Also, I used the Japanese names for this fic. If you're not familiar with them I'll list who's who.
Yuugi – Yugi
Anzu – Tea
Honda – Tristan
Ryuuji – Duke Jyounouchi – Joey
Shizuka – Serenity
The rest are all the same as in the dub.

Hmm well I don't think there was anything else that might of confused anyone. Ciao!
