I have to say how this story came about. I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Movie and in that movie Atem asks Kaiba what is his obsession with gay clowns. I thought about that for a bit and realized he kinda had a point. Saggi, Peten, and in the anime Kaiba's dark half was more or less an evil clown. Then when I was writing my fic Rite of Succession, I was just going with the flow and this is what I got.

I Do Not Own Yu-Gi-Oh unfortunately.

This takes place during the duel in Rite of Succession. If you read the fic you should be able to figure out where.

"And now I play Kuriboh in defense mode." Atem Yelled

"Ugh not that damn fur ball again." Kaiba said.

"I would have thought that by now you would have learned not to underestimate Kuriboh." Atem said.

"What is your obsession with hairy balls?" Kaiba asked

"Huh?" Atem asked

"Watapon, Kuriboh, and you played those Kuriboh brothers during that mess with Dartz. Plus you seem to like to multiply them, you apparently like seeing armies of hairy balls."

"I don't know what you mean." a very confused Pharaoh said.

"Sure you don't." Kaiba said. Over on the sidelines The entire group looked shocked, except for Mokuba who was rolling on the ground laughing.

"Did he just say..." Joey trailed off.

"I think he just implied that Pharaoh-boy favors the company of men." Pegasus grinned, loving the look on Atem's face.

"Huh?" Tristan asked needing a translation for what Pegasus said.

"Kaiba thinks the Pharaoh is gay," Marik said, "you know like Bakura." The whole group turned to look at the quickly reddening British duelist.

"Ohhhh." said Tristan.

"I'm not..." Bakura started when Ishizu suddenly reached over and grabbed Marik's ear.

"Oww, oww, sister..."

"Marik," Ishizu scolded, "It is not nice to make fun of someone just because their different."

"Well there's only one way to find out if what Kaiba is implying is true." Pegasus said.

"What's that?" Joey asked.

"We ask his partner." Pegasus stated matter of factly. "Well Yugi-boy does the Pharaoh prefer men?"

Everyone turned to look at Yugi who was quickly resembling a stop sign in color. Yugi was looking desperately for anyone to take the attention off him and spotted Tea. 'I really don't want to do this to her but its her or me' he thought.

"I don't think so," he started "But I was separated from him during most of the Dartz thing so I can't account for every minute. You should ask Tea she was with him then."

Everyone's heads snapped to Tea.

"Yeah," Joey said the two of you were separated from me and Tristan for a while did you notice anything?"

Now it was Tea turn to redden. 'I'll get you for this Yugi' she thought glaring at the diminutive duelist. "I uh...," she started, "I didn't notice a thing. All we did was duel Weevil and then look for you guys."

"Well I guess the jury's still out then." Pegasus said turning back to the duel.

Just a short little one shot. I thought it was funny but didn't go with the mood of the story, so I cut it and made it into this story.
