Kuriso- I was watching the movie and thought how funny it would be to turn this into a story. So here goes nothing. As usual I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or Clue.
It was a dark and stormy night….no really I'm serious. Would I lie to you? I realize that is a cliché but how else do you describe it when the sun has gone down and it is pouring outside?
From the distance a black car could be seen driving up through the rain. The car's destination was the mansion on top of the hill. It was a drive the car had made hundreds of times before, yet this time, there was a purpose behind it. As it crept up to the rusted gates, they opened welcoming the car up to the front door. The driver looked at the house just as a flash of lightning lit up the sky. He took in a deep breath and continued his climb to the front door. The driver parked just to the left of the main entrance, shut the car off and opened the car door. As he stood, he brushed his long grey hair out of one eye, keeping the other hidden. He pulled out his umbrella, grabbed his coat from the back seat and made his way to the large double doors.
As he stepped up the first few steps, he was greeted by two guard dogs on chains. Baring their teeth and barking, they lunged at him. But the gentleman in black knew they were there. Take a few steps to the side he let grab his jacket as though he were a bullfighter. From the brown sack he held in his hand, he threw two raw steaks. This caught he dog's attention where they followed the aroma of the dead animal and began enjoying their feast. The gentleman again sighed and brushed his long hair, picking up his jacket, he proceeded to the white magnificent double doors. Opening the door, he noticed a foul smell. Looking under his shoe, and then glaring back at the dogs in disgust, he scrapped the remains of the present the canines left him on the bricks outside and walked in.
He hung his jacket up on the rack to the left of the door and heard music playing in the distance. Walking towards the room where it was coming from he entered and saw a brunet woman in a French maid's outfit wiping dust off the crystal wine glasses and bouncing lightly to the rhythm of the music.
"Ehmm.." the gentleman cleared his throat to get her attention. "Is everything ready?"
"Yes Mr. Pegasus," she responded quickly.
"And you have you….instructions?"
"Yes."
"Good. Our guests shall be arriving any moment." As he said this, he walked out of the library and headed towards the kitchen. He walked towards a very large Cantonese woman sharpening a knife.
"Ah…" before he was allowed to speak she turned around with the knife pointed at his face.
"Dinner will be ready at 7," she said firmly before returning to sharpening her knife.
"Um….er ah…thank you," walking out quickly wanting to be no where near her. Upon leaving the kitchen, the doorbell rang for what was sure to be the first time of many throughout the process of the evening.
On the outside of the door stood a tall blonde man. He was brown eyed and dressed in a fitted mustard colored suit with a brown coat and hat. He stood their nervous still not completely sure of his reasoning for his appearance that evening. Staring at the grand doors he noticed a foul smell. Deciding to check his shoes, he was stopped when the door opened and he was greeted with a rather startling surprise.
"PEGASUS?!" he nearly shouted. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"Ah, good to see you Joseph Wheeler. Do come in you are expected."
"I ain't going anywhere you are! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be locked up in yo castle or sumthin?"
"Always the polite one aren't we? Think of me as a party planner. You do know how I love these little get together. Please don't stand outside. You will catch a death of cold and I don't want to be standing at the door all night letting the cold winds in." Joey was cold, so rather than argue anymore he followed Pegasus in still unsure of why he of all people was there. Maybe he was up to something again. He would warn the other guests of this psycho, but once he was inside it seemed there were no other guests. He must have been the first there. Following Pegasus he entered the library where the attractive maid was waiting to offer him a glass of Champaign.
"Ah Yvette. I would like you to meet Mr. Joseph Wheeler. You may know him by the nick name the papers have given him "Cornel Mustard," for his military tactics in dueling.
"How do you do, sir? Care for a drink?" Not wanting to be rude, he gladly accepted the drink. He was about to ask again why Pegasus was here when he was interrupted by the doorbell.
"Excuse me." Pegasus exited the room and went to the front door. He opened it to reveal and lovely Egyptian woman standing at the door in an all black coat and a black veil as though a widow at a funeral in mourning.
"Ishizu. Such a pleasure to see you."
"Pegasus? Is this some sort of trick," she glared suspiciously.
"I feel I am going to be getting that all night. No no, please follow me. May I take your coat?" She opens her coat revealing a blinding white lining. Handing it to Pegasus, he hangs it next to the others and proceeds to lead her into the library.
"I am sure you know Joseph. And this is Yvette. Yvette, this is Ishizu White, I believe is your new last name after your recent marriage is it not?" Ishizu grabbed the glass of wine from Yvette's hand firmly and turned away.
"So I take it you two have met?" Joey asked.
"You could say that." Ishizu remarked coldly. At the front door, a knock was heard. Pegasus walked to the door and opened it. There stood a tall brunet with piercing blue eyes in a royal blue suit and dark green coat.
"Kaiba-Boy! So glad you could join our little party."
"Hm…Pegasus…I knew it was a matter of time before you would become the butler to someone else."
"Tsk tsk Kaiba-boy. We don't need any mean words tonight. I am not the butler. Just think of it as me helping a friend."
"You've never helped anyone before in your life. Why start now?"
"Such the vicious tongue we have. Please do follow me. We are waiting for you."
"Who is we?"
"Patcience is a virtue Kaiba-boy. All shall be explained soon enough."
"Yeah, and time is money."
"Oh Mr. Green, is that all you think about? Money money money! What about a relaxing evening with friends."
"Hmph…" He followed Pegasus into the library. "Great, we have the black widow, a mut, and a maid. Some evening with friends alright."
"Great to see you too Kaiba!" Joey snapped back. He always seemed to be the only one who had a comment for just about everything Kaiba could throw at him. If you didn't know them, one may suspect there could be something between the two of them.
"Allow me to present Professor Yami and Ms. Mai Valentine." Yami stood with his hair in its usual tri colored gravity defying manner, though he now donned a pair of thin frameless glasses in a deep purple suit that hugged him just right so that he kept the thinned body look. Mai was dressed in a scarlet gown with a slit up to her upper thigh. She had long black gloves and stilettos making her already impressive legs seem longer.
"So you were dragged into this too Yami," said Joey.
"It would appear so. I did not know you also would be attending." Yami responded.
"And last but not least," Pegasus interrupted, "Mrs. Tea Peacock." She entered in a blue evening gown with a fur stole. Her hair was longer but up in a bun with a feathered hat holding it up.
"Hey guys. What are you all doing here."
"Your guess is as good as mine," said Kaiba. He walked next to the maid where she handed Tea a glass of wine. Just then a loud bang was heard as the cook rang the gong to announce that it in fact was 7 oclock and dinner was ready. The bang startled the guests, and caused Joey to spill his glass of wine all over Tea.
"Sorry, I'm a little accident proned," he said as he pulled out his hankie to dry off Mrs. Peacock.
So all the "suspects" have been introduced. I hope to get the next chapter up quickly if I get good response from this one. Thoughts? Please review to keep me going!
