Cute Idea of mine. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. (I HAVE CONQURED THE WRITER'S BLOCK! HOO-HAH!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was a bright and beautiful summer day that morning. Yugi yawned and sat up in his bed, blinking in the bright
light coming through his windows. Quickly, he went through his normal morning routine - shower, getting dressed, running out
the door and then doubling back to grab the Millennium Puzzle - he was just rummaging through the fridge for breakfast when
Yami came out. "You're up early," Yugi teased, surprised Yami was up at 9 AM under his own power. Yami snorted at the
comment and mussed Yugi's hair good-naturedly. "I _can_ get up whenever I want to, you know." "Yeah, right," Yugi said.
"You want some breakfast?" "No thank you," Yami said, and was about to say something else but then suddenly - "HIC!" Yugi
blinked, but that was nothing compared to Yami's expression. "What the - HIC!" //Aibou, what's wrong with my voice?// Yami
said mentally, sounding very worried. Yugi giggled at Yami's priceless expression. "Sounds like somebody's got the
hiccups." "The - HIC! - the whats?" "The hiccups. They're not too serious, I've had them before, remember?" "So that's
why - HIC! - why you kept making that sound - HIC! - that one time?" Yugi sighed, remembering that day all-too-well. It had
to have been one of the _worst_ school days of his entire life. "Yes, that was it." Just then, there was a loud banging on
the door. "Hey Yug, you up yet?" They blinked. "_Jou_?" Yugi let the blond in quickly. "Hey Yug. Whats up?" "Jou, I
never thought I'd see you getting up this early!" "What? It's after noon ain't it?" "Uh, it's ten-thirty in the morning
Jou." "WHAT? My alarm musta been set wrong!" Yugi got an idea. "Hey Jou, your timing is perfect! Can you help us with a
problem?" "Sure thing, what's the prob?" During this time, Yami had walked into the living room to join them. "Actually,
it's Yami's problem," Yugi said. "Uh, okay. So what's the prob Yami?" Yami thought for a second. "I have the - HIC!" "Da
what? What'dya got?" "The - HIC!" "A new card? A date? C'mon, spill it!" Yami glared hard at the not-too-bright
teenager. He forced the sentence out as quickly as possible. "I-have-the-hiccups - HIC!" "Da hiccups? Well why didn't ya
say so in the first place?" Sensing that a certain Jounouchi Katsuya[1] was in serious danger of getting his head removed by
a very upset Pharaoh, Yugi cut in, "See, I don't know what to do to get rid of them. I thought maybe you did." "No sweat,"
Jou said with a cocky grin, " Dr. Jou is on the case!" "Why am I - HIC! - not reassured?" Yami muttered to himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Lets see...first, try holding your breath. As long as possible and then some, K?" Yami looked doubtful, but did as
he was instructed. He kept jerking with suppressed hiccups, and after ten minutes looked a bit blue. "Are you sure this is
a good idea?" Yugi asked. "Sure, works alla time!" There was a *thud*, and they turned to see that Yami had passed out.
"Oh my god! Yami!" "Dat's neva happened before," Jou said to himself as Yugi revived Yami. Yami was not happy at all.
"KATSUYA JOUNOUCHI, YOU'D BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THAT!" Yami yelled, and Jou wisely managed to take cover behind
Yugi. "Ah, c'mon, it was an accident! You ain't hiccupping anymore aren't ya?" Yami blinked, but then - "HIC!" "Guess
that didn't work."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Okay, dis time just drink outta the far side of da glass." An extremely skeptical Yami tried, but he couldn't quite
manage it. "SPEH[2] - HIC! - SPEH - ACK!" Yugi tried vainly to hold his laughter in. Yami didn't find it nearly so funny.
"First you - HIC! - try to suffocate me and now - HIC! - you're trying to _DROWN_ me!" Yami's little difficulty had left him
soaked with with a mysteriously larger amount of water than a conventional glass could hold. His hair was currently flat and
limp against his head, water still dripping off his bangs. It was a once-in-a-lifetime look, and as Yami stomped off to find
a towel, he could easily hear both mortals laughing their heads off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After managing to get his hair back to it's original shape, Yami ademently refused anymore of 'Dr.' Jou's special
'treatments'. Instead, the three of them went to the park. Yami walked, until his hiccuping annoyed him enough to try and
take refuge from it inside the Puzzle. /How're you holding up Yami?/ Yugi asked. //Peachy. Just - HIC! - Peachy.// /I
didn't know you hiccuped with your mind./ //Apparently, something seems - HIC! - to have a grudge against me.// /Maybe the
park will make you feel better./ //Did - HIC! - Jou suggest that? Because if he - HIC! - he did I'm going back while I'm
still alive.// Just then they ran into Honda[3], Anzu[4], and Ryou[5]. "Hey guys, what's happening?" "Nuthing much, we've
just been trying ta get rid of Yami's hiccups." As Jou spoke, Yami came back out of the Puzzle. "You've gotten the hiccups
Yami?" Ryou asked sympathetically. Yami just nodded, getting afraid to open his mouth. "Did you try holding your breath?
Or the drinking water thing?" Honda asked. "Don't even - HIC! - mention those," Yami said, pointedly glaring at Jou.
"S'not my fault! Day always work fer me!" Honda seemed to be thinking. "I heard you can scare the hiccups away." "Okay
den...BOO!" Everyone stared at Jou. "That has to be the lamest 'boo' I've ever heard," Anzu said. "Maybe you should just
wait for them to go away." "I tried that when I got them," Yugi piped up, "But it took _hours_. And it was during school
too." "Oh, is that why you sounded so weird that one time?" Honda was promptly smacked for his insensitive comment.
Meanwhile, when no one had been looking Bakura[6] snuck out of the Millennium Ring and was currently watching the entire
scene. "Now's my chance to snatch the Puzzle when no one's paying attention," he was just saying to himself when something
tapped his shoulder. Not being too alert, he jumped and screamed. "Jeez, don't freak out or anything," Mokuba Kaiba said.
The entire group was watching now. "What's he doing here?" "I think Kaiba's probably around here, dey must be doing some
brother-bonding type thing." "Not Mokuba you idiot." Bakura was sitting on the ground, rather embarassed. And it only got
worse when he opened his mouth to say something and all that came out was - "HIC!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A couple of hours later, they were all mostly sitting around. Yami had nearly suffocated (again) from the
combination of laughter and hiccups while Bakura had been under the ministrations of Jou and Honda. The Tomb Thief had tried
holding his breath, drinking from the far side of the glass, and afterwards had himself tried bashing his head against the
wall from sheer frustration. Right now, Jou and Honda were hiding, having opted to use the 'scaring' method. Yami was just
walking when he stopped and realized he wasn't hiccupping anymore. Feeling a lot happier, he walked past a tree...and
then... "BOO!" Both boys launched themselves out of the tree, and Yami being completely off-guard, got squashed under them.
"Did we do it? Is he cured?" "I - HIC! - _WAS_, before a - HIC! - a pair of idiots landed - HIC! - on me!" Instantly, Jou
and Honda vanished, running for dear life. Grumbling, Yami dusted himself off before walking to a nearby bench and sitting
down. Bakura appeared out of thin air and after making sure to check the bushes for stray punks threw himself on the bench.
"I - HIC! - _hate_ you," he said. "It's - HIC! - your own fault, you - HIC! - know," Yami shot back. "Excuse me?" Both
spirits turned to see Mokuba looking at them. "Brat - HIC!" Glaring at Bakura, Yami asked Mokuba what he wanted. "Well, I
heard that you guys both have the hiccups." "So?" "I heard that when you have the hiccups, you should eat a spoonful of
sugar," Mokuba said while holding out a bag of Pixi Sticks. Both yami's eyes went wide. "Why - HIC! - thank you Mokuba,"
Bakura said in a strangled sort of happy voice. "No problem. Hope they help guys!" Mokuba ran off, completely missing the
pair of demonic grins Yami and Bakura were suddenly wearing.
