AN: A new idea! (At least new to me!)

Yami/Yugi

Bakura/Ryou

Seto/Jou

...Maybe Marik/Yami Marik. Still debating.

Yami and Bakura have their own bodies. Yami Marik isn't in the story yet so we'll see what happens.

Here goes :D

An no. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh D: *goes to try and finish a one shot*

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

The sun was shining brightly overhead as Yugi and Yami arrived at the port, the shorter teen running ahead with a bright smile and clutching his suitcase. Yami smiled, following after him at a leisurely pace and waving to their friends as he got closer.

"This is so exciting!" Yugi laughed, nearly toppling Jounouchi with a hug before lunging at Anzu and then Honda. Shizuka laughed, giving Yugi a hug. Yami set his suitcase down.

"Where is Kaiba?" the former Pharaoh asked.

"He's probably tied up in the ceremonies somewhere," Anzu laughed, petting the hyper Yugi. "This is the launching of his cruise ship after all."

Several months prior, Seto had approached the friends and extended an invitation to take part in the maiden trip of the SS Kisara, a luxury cruise ship. He grudgingly insisted that it had been Mokuba's idea to include them, but the fact that they would get to be at sea for a full week was more than enough encouragement to accept.

Being that Seto Kaiba was a busy man, he had left the bother of room assignments to Anzu, which somehow had evolved into her becoming their personal Cruise Director.

She had, however, made a slight, tiny oversight in her plans...

"Bakura," Yami growled, spotting the white haired thief as he approached with Ryou. The two hikaris immediately grabbed for their yamis to restrain them.

"Yami, stop!"

"Please, 'Kura, let's not start our vacation on a bad note. Please?"

"Is there a problem?" Seto asked, glaring at the group. Mokuba appeared beside his brother with a smile.

"Hi guys! Are you ready to go?" the younger Kaiba chimed. Yami and Bakura continued to glare at each other, but made no move to kill one another for the time being.

"Thanks again for invitin' us, Kaiba," Jounouchi said, offing a grin to Seto, who gave him a scrowl in return.

"Sorry we're late!" Otogi shouted, rushing towards them, Marik close behind.

"My plane came in late. I'm sorry," the Egyptian laughed, rubbing the back of his head.

"You guys aren't late," Yugi laughed, tackling Marik. "I missed you! How's Isis? I'm sorry she couldn't make it."

"I missed you too. And Isis is fine. She said to have fun." Marik ruffled Yugi's hair, looking up as Anzu cleared her throat.

"While we're all here, I will now give out the room assignments! As you know, there are five penthouse rooms that we're getting to stay in- thank you so much, Kaiba!- So then let's see...The first room on the right goes to Honda, Otogi, and Marik. The the room next to theirs will be Yami and Yugi." She looked around and found that so far they were agreeable. "Then, on the left side of the hall will be Bakura and Ryou and next to them will be Shizuka and myself. That leaves Seto, Mokuba, and Jou-"

"What?" Seto growled.

"I'm sharing a room with Kaiba!?" Jounouchi cried.

Anzu huffed and put her hands on her hips. "Hey, I tried to keep things balanced. Yami and Yugi need their own room because...well because we all know why," she said with a slight blush. "And Ryou is the only one who can keep Bakura in line so they need a room together."

"Gee, thanks," Bakura grumbled, Ryou offering his yami a smile to placate him.

"Shizuka and I need our own room because we're girls. That leaves six guys. Seto and Mokuba should be in a room together. Honda and Otogi get along pretty well so I paired them off. That left Marik and Jounouchi."

"And somehow the mutt ended up in my room because...?" Seto fixed Anzu in his piercing gaze and the girl smiled and pointed toward the ship.

"Hey! Isn't it time to board?" she grabbed her suitcase and ran off.

Seto opened his mouth to protest, but Mokuba laughed, grabbing Jounouchi's hand. "This is going to be so much fun! Come on, Jounouchi! Let's go unpack!"

Jounouchi looked back at Seto for a moment before trailing after Mokuba, his hand trapped in a death grip.

Yami finally broke his staring match with Bakura and gathered both his suitcase and Yugi's, the pair moving the the boarding ramp.

"Oh joy, stuck on a boat for a week with the Pharaoh and his midget," Bakura grumbled, allowing himself to be led by Ryou.

"Oh stop. This is going to be fun. It's a big boat, you'll probably never see each other," the white haired teen tried to assure him.

Seto waited until they had all moved away before letting out a sigh. "That's the last time I let Mazaki have control."

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

Shizuka and Anzu were happily getting settled into their room when the door was banged on.

"Anzu! I need to talk to you!"

"One sec, Jounouchi!" Anzu called, readying herself for the blond's fury. She opened the door enough to poke her head out into the hall and smiled up at him. "What can I do for you?"

"Why the hell am I sharing a room with Kaiba?" Jounouchi asked, trying to keep his voice low.

Anzu blushed a bit, leaning her head closer to the blond to keep his sister from hearing. "Yugi told me. This will give you guys more time to get to know each other." She smiled brightly. "You'll thank me later!"

Jounouchi stared at her, dumbfounded, and was about to say something when she disappeared back into her room. The teen turned around slowly and stalked across the hall, finding the door to Yugi and Yami's room ajar. He pushed it open and, smiling as sweetly as he could, approached the shorter teen, who was happily chatting with Yami.

"Oh Yu~gi."

Yugi turned and smiled at Jou. "Hey! This place is great, huh?" Amethyst eyes blinked as they met honey brown and he suddenly bolted behind Yami for protection.

"You. Told. ANZU?" Jounouchi growled, his eyes twitching a bit. "Anzu!? Why!? And don't think you can hide behind Yami."

Yami chuckled, reaching a hand back to pet his hikari.

"No! No she tricked me!" Yugi squeaked. "I swear, I didn't do it on purpose! I'm sorry, Jounouchi. I didn't know she'd do this! I swear!"

Jounouchi sputtered a bit before he finally let out his rage with a sigh. "What am I going to do? What if he finds out?"

Yugi meekly reappeared from behind Yami and grabbed one of his friend's hands. "Hey, it'll be ok. If worse comes to worse, you can probably room with me and Yami."

From behind Yugi, Yami cringed. It wasn't that he disliked Jounouchi. It was that he loved Yugi. And he loved to prove it to his hikari every chance he got.

Jounouchi just shook his head. "Nah, I'll figure something out. Just so long as I don't say anything stupid, he won't figure out that...you know..." the blond mumbled, blushing some. He took his hand back and ruffled Yugi's hair. "I'd better go unpack and get ready for the big cast off party they're gonna be having. Sorry I bothered you two."

"You never bother us, Jounouchi," Yami assured him with a warm smile.

In the hallway, Mokuba rushed to their room, grinning brightly at what he had heard, plans already forming in his devious little mind.
