Hello all! My first ficcie (that I'll admit to writing, anyway.) so I hope
you enjoy it! Please R&R.

Chapter 1: Get the Party Started.
* * *
Seto sighed. He was not looking forward to tonight. It was Mokuba's birthday, and his little brother was having Yugi and company over for a party. It would be fine - okay, it would be *bearable* - if it was just the duellists of the group. At least he respected them. But Seto didn't think he could handle having the mutt in his mansion. It was bad enough having to put up with him at school.
Seto got up and started to prepare the food. After all, it was only one night. How bad could it be?
* * *
Yami and Yugi were lying on Yugi's bed in companionable silence. Yami had a lot on his mind. Staying the night at the Kaiba mansion called for more than his usual cape, leather trousers, dog collar neckband, metal stud belt, wristbands... well, he wanted to wear something *different*. To be honest, he wasn't particularly looking forward to this party. Kaiba and Jou would undoubtedly be at each other's throats, as would Honda and Otogi. Bakura was prone to setting the Man Eater bug on people when drunk, and poking people with his millennium ring. And Anzu would be there, ranting about friendship and shooting flirty glances his way.
A frustrated grunt from his left brought Yami out of his thoughts. Yugi was in the middle of a furious battle with Mokuba's present, and the present was currently winning. Yami helped his light disentangle from the wrapping paper and sticky tape, and retired to his own room to change. It wouldn't be *so* bad, it was only one night after all.
* * *
The ten friends assembled outside the Kaiba Mansion and rang the doorbell. Mokuba bounded to the front door to let everyone in, while Seto glowered at Jou and Honda from by the stairs.
"Hey guys, thanks for coming! Come in! Seto cooked, it's all ready, come in!" gushed the younger Kaiba, as Mai, Bakura, Ryou, Jounouchi, Honda, Anzu, Shizuka, Otogi, Yugi and Yami ambled in. The aroma of pizza, chicken, pie, pasta, and whatever other culinary delights Seto had cooked for their guests wafted through the house. The party made their way through the entry and hallway and into the dining room.
"Hey, there's only 11 chairs at the table." cried Jou in indignation.
"Well, we don't usually let dogs sit at the table, Jounouchi." Seto smirked as he went to get drinks, while Mokuba ran to find another chair. He came back, balancing 12 drinks of various sugar, or, in the case of the older ones, alcoholic content. At least Mokuba was happy, thought Seto, watching his brother rip into his presents.
* * *
Yami wondered which Gods he had offended recently to deserve his seat at the table. He was seated between Anzu and Seto, one of whom was talking to Yami ceaselessly, and one whom was remaining totally silent. Yami could have handled it if Kaiba had been the one talking, but, then again, Yami could see that Kaiba was preoccupied with trying to stop himself from punching Jou.
At least the food was good.
* * *
"Party Games" said Mokuba excitedly, earning a groan from all but two people present.
"What are we playing, pin the tail on the donkey?" asked Honda, somewhat unenthusiastically.
"Not quite," answered the younger Kaiba brother, reaching for an empty Moet bottle on the table. "I was thinking spin the bottle!"
Honda and Otogi's eyes instantly picked out Shizuka, who blushed. Jou glared at them both. They sat in a circle in one of the smaller, informal lounge rooms.
"So, who's going first?" queried Mokuba. After a moment's hesitation, Otogi leant forward and spun. Chance games being his speciality, the champagne bottle twirled for a moment and stopped at Shizuka, who giggled. Honda and Jou gave Otogi daggers as he leant over Ryou to kiss her.
Next was Anzu, who, much to Yami's relief, got Mokuba. Then Seto kissed Mai, as did Mokuba. Yugi's spin landed on Yami, who was just thankful it was Yugi who got him, not Jou, or worse, Kaiba.
Honda span next and thought he was in luck as the bottle slowed on Shizuka's side of the circle. However, the bottle had other plans, and stopped in front of Otogi. Honda said something very rude, stalked over to him and planted a smacker on his cheek.
"Why, thankyou, Honda, I didn't know you cared?" drawled Otogi, fluttering his eyelashes. Jou had a mild attack of hysterics, not stopping laughing until Bakura, who's spin landed on Ryou, sprang up and caught Ryou's mouth half open.
It was a helluva kiss, too. Even Yami and Seto, who had both been watching the game rather disinterestedly, stared in shock as Bakura practically snogged Ryou's face off. Suddenly, he seemed to remember where he was, and sat back down in his place in the circle. A few moments of silence passed. Ryou put his hand to his mouth.
"He *bit* me!" While everyone tried to figure out whether it was ok to laugh or not, Jou leant forward and took his turn. 'C'mon, Mai' thought Jou. It slowed down, finally stopping with the neck pointing at Seto Kaiba.
