A Halloween Special PrologueAutumn was here in Domino City, Japan, with bright colored leaves and cool air sliding through everyone's hair. The sun was hiding behind the clouds and Seto Kaiba, CEO Of Kaiba Corporation, was cursing the world as usual. Oh, not just the world, really. More like his little brother, Mokuba Kaiba. Kaiba adored his brother, he really did, but the boy just was such a little shit sometimes! The reason for today was this: Mokuba Kaiba had asked Anzu to take him Trick-Or-Treating and she had said yes. Earlier, however, Mokuba had forced Kaiba to promise to come Trick-Or-Treating with him, too, no matter who he brought with him. Kaiba had suspected it was just a little brat from school, but oh, how he was wrong! It ended up being Anzu Mazaki, the female group member of Yuugi's little entourage. It wasn't that Kaiba hated her – she was actually one of the two people he could handle in that group. It was just that he knew that she would invite her friends to come along and that was where the problem lied. Her friends consisted of a little midget who was emotionally unstable, three psychotic Egyptians that wrecked havoc wherever they went, a Pharaoh that had an ego larger than Kaiba's, a dog that drooled over the slightest mention of women, an idiot who had bad hair, and Ryou Bakura (who was the other person Kaiba could tolerate.) So far, Kaiba had come to the decision that that night was going to be hell.
Chapter One: A day of chaosYuugi Mutou, duelist extraordinaire, was sitting in class with a rather puzzled expression. He was gazing at a girl on the other side of the room and wasn't exactly sure why. She had bouncy blonde curls a rather large chest. That sweater she was wearing accented her bosom quite nicely. He guessed that the girl hadn't noticed because she hadn't looked his way yet. So, he continued to stare at her, wondering why heat was starting in his groin. He would ask his yami about it later. Speaking of his yami...Yuugi glanced over to see Yami staring at the board in ultimate boredom. He was twirling a golden ring that was around his finger. There was one that Yami had refused to give up when he started living in the modern world: his jewelry. He loved his golden trinkets. He didn't wear a whole bunch of it, but it was enough for him to get mugged. Yuugi had warned him, but Yami waved the warning off.
He's already been mugged twice, Yuugi thought, recalling the two times that some guys had tried picking a fight with the Pharaoh. However, Yami wasn't about to take that from them.
Flashback"Give us all your gold jewelry, pretty boy!" One of the guys snapped. Yuugi took a step away, but Yami just stood there blankly.
"My jewelry? Why?" Yami asked in total confusion.
"Well, DUH," the guy said, rolling his eyes, shaking the knife in front of Yami's face. "We want to pawn it off and get loads of money from it. What are you, kid, stupid?"
"KID?" Yami repeated, his eyes narrowing slightly. "First off, I'm over five thousand years old and second, why in the world would I give you my precious jewelry? Sorry, but you'll have to ask someone else." Yami turned to start walking, but the guy grabbed his shoulder, making him turn back to him.
"I don't think you understand." Yami glanced at his hand and his eye twitched.
"LEARN YOUR MANNERS!"
WHAM!
"(OO) OH-MY-GOD!" The other men shrieked as Yami started beating the hell out of their leader.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM PHARAOH, NEVER FORGET THAT!"
"Yami!" Yuugi cried, gawking at him as Yami started jumping up and down on the male, kicking him and beating him to a bloody pulp. "Yami!" Yuugi grabbed the rabid Pharaoh from behind and the men grabbed their friend, fleeing with high-pitched screams.
End Flashback
Yuugi winced, turning from yami, gazing at his desktop. I guess he doesn't really have to worry. After all, if he can go into a situation like that without any fear... He trailed off, breathing out a sigh. His gaze flickered back to the blonde girl and this time, as though feeling his eyes on her, she turned around in her seat and saw him staring at her. They stared at each other, before she fumed and gave him the finger. Yuugi blinked in shock as she turned around. What did I do! He wondered, truly bemused.
The bell rang and the students filed out of the room, yawning.
"Hey, Yuugi!" A female's voice called. Yuugi turned and Yami stretched, stopping beside him. Anzu Mazaki came running to him, waving. She stopped next to him, letting out a ragged breath and smiling. "I'm glad I got you guys."
"Got us?" Yami repeated, blinking. "I wouldn't say you got us...maybe our attention."
"Uh..." Anzu blinked as well, then gave her head a little shake, turning to Yuugi with a normal, bright smile. "You won't believe what the school decided!"
"To finally let us drink out of milk cartons instead of those little bags?" Yuugi asked eagerly.
"Um, no."
"Oh...To let us have ketchup again?"
"...No."
"Um...Hmm...Oh! PE and Art isn't required to graduate?"
"No!" Anzu snapped, irritated. His face dropped and he sighed.
"Darn."
"As I was saying...The school is going to let us have Halloween off!"
"No way!"
"Way!"
"Wow!"
"What's Halloween?" Yami interrupted blankly. They turned to him to see he had an absolutely confused look on his face. He looked from one to the other and repeated, "What's Halloween?" as though they hadn't heard him the first time. Yuugi rubbed the back of his head when Anzu looked at him in question. He had completely forgot to explain the holidays to Yami.
"Halloween is a holiday where people dress up, eat candy, er..." He looked to Anzu for help and she shrugged, obviously no help. "And, well – " Shouts were heard and they turned to see many students running from the Science hall.
"GET BACK HERE YOU LAB RAT!" An angry masculine voice roared in the hall. A large crash was heard and the same voice came, "GYAA! CURSE YOU! YOU AND YOUR TWO SURFER BOY FRIENDS!"
"Lab rat?" Yami said thoughtfully. "Surfer boy?" He smirked, crossing his arms across his chest. "They can be none other than – "
"BAKURA RYOU, MALIK AND MARIK ISHTAR, GET BACK HERE!" Bakura, the yami of Ryou, came running towards Yami and the other two with Malik and his yami close on his heels. It was obvious they had caused more mischief. The teacher that came barreling after them had gray hair that was standing up, singed and his glasses were broken, hanging on the bridge of his nose. He looked as though he had been through hell, which was, more than likely, true.
"Oh, save us, Pharaoh, save us!" Bakura cried in a feminine voice before cackling. The other two snickered. Yami's mouth turned downward, his burgundy eyes narrowing on them.
"As if I would bother and get in trouble again," Yami snapped, dropping his arms to his sides.
Flashback"Hey there, Yami!" Bakura greeted, jogging down the hall next to the Pharaoh, who was delivering the attendance form to the office for his teacher. Pausing, Yami eyed Bakura suspiciously as he fell in step beside him.
"What do you want, Bakura?"
"Nothing, really. I just saw you in the hall and just had to come and talk with you!" Yami frowned, but didn't answer. As he turned from him, a teacher and the principal came stomping down the hall.
"SO! You were in it, too!" The principal pointed at Yami, who stared at him.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Yami asked, totally befuddled.
"I KNEW THEY WERE FRIENDS!" The teacher screeched, glaring at them. "They act like enemies, but they're really partners in crime!"
"(o.o)...What?"
"You both are going to be in soooo much trouble when I'm through with you," the principal growled, a smirk coming to his mouth.
"Thanks, Pharaoh. I won't have to do a week of detention by myself," Bakura said, smirking and clapping him on the back.
"(OO) D-detention? NO! I'm innocent! INNOCENT!" Yami cried, turning to run. The principal grabbed him and dragged him away with Bakura.
"That's what they all say," the principal grumbled.
"I'm the good child! I'M THE GOOD CHILD!"
End Flashback
"Oh, yeah," Bakura remarked, rubbing his chin. "I remember that, but – "
"You again, huh?" The teacher hissed at Yami, pointing an accusing finger his way. "The principal told me about you!"
"(OO) What?" Yami sputtered. "NO! I had nothing to do with this!"
"LIAR!"
"Yuugi, Anzu, tell him!" He turned to his friends pleadingly to see they were at the other end of the hall. "Y-you...you traitors!"
"Sorry, Yami!" Anzu called. "Our record is cleaner than a baby's bottom."
"I should hope so..." Yami muttered, thinking of something else.
"Let's go, you four," the teacher growled, grabbing them and shoving them to the way to the principal's office.
"I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, I TELL YOU!" Yami howled. "YUUUGGIII! ANZUUUU! HELP MEEE!" The two watched as he was paraded off with Bakura, Malik, and Marik to the principal's office.
"Think we should have done something?" Anzu asked Yuugi worriedly.
"It's okay," Yuugi assured her. "He'll just get a really bad lecture from Grandpa, be grounded from the TV, and not be able to eat chocolate for a week. He'll be fine."
"(o.o) Ouch. Harsh."

Seto Kaiba was exiting the office from a meeting (since he was the junior student body present) just as the three Egyptian psychos, as he called them, along with a hysterical Pharaoh were being dragged by Principal Carter. He arched a brow and moved aside. Malik, Marik, and Bakura headed into the office casually, none too bothered. Yami, on the other hand, was screaming and thrashing violently. Kaiba almost sighed in exasperation. Could the guy do anything without making a huge, violent scene? Then again, this was Yami, who was a Pharaoh, had been locked up in a frickin' puzzle for 5,000 years, along with being a goody-two-shoes. Whatever had gotten him forced into this situation, Kaiba was certain wasn't his fault. Nonetheless...It was frickin' hilarious seeing the superior Egyptian's ass getting whipped. "I AM INNOCENT! DO I LOOK LIKE A CRIMINAL?" Yami howled.
"WITH THAT HAIR, YES!" The Pharaoh's jaw dropped and he looked truly speechless. Even Kaiba was staring with a somewhat awestruck look on his face. After all, only the three Egyptian psychos and himself insulted Yami's hair like that. This was a first!
"M-my...my...hair?" Yami gave the principal a watery stare, before sliding onto the floor, clutching his legs and bawling. The principal's eyebrow twitched and he attempted to shake Yami off, but to no avail. Kaiba shifted, wondering if he should leave. He had had enough of this emotional dope. Every single day, it was the same thing. Get angry here, cry a little there, blah, blah, blah. Geez, couldn't the man go without one day of emotional breakdowns? Kaiba supposed being in Yuugi's body for so long might cause Yami to inherit some of Yuugi's less pleasant habits...such as that.
"Mr. Kaiba!" The principal snapped and the CEO almost groaned. Of course they always turned to him. Why not find Yami's shorter and just-as-stupid half? "A little help here!" He pointed irritably to Yami, who turned to Kaiba with huge, teary eyes.
"For God sakes, Yami, stop acting like a baby," Kaiba growled to him, irritated with the entire situation. "You're starting to act more like that midget Yuugi more and more."
"That - ?" Yami bounded to his feet, tears vanished, a livid expression on his face. "WHAT?" Kaiba smirked and crossed his arms across his chest in triumph. Well, now he was in the mood to taunt the shorter male. Principal Carter never should have asked him for help. "WHAT DID YOU SAY, KAIBA?"
"I said," Kaiba answered with slow precision, "that Yuugi is a midget."
"H-how...how dare you! Yuugi is far better at anything than you, Kaiba! He could probably score with seventy-five percent more women than you!" The principal's jaw dropped and Kaiba twitched, miffed by the statement. He would normally just scoff, but...seventy-five percent? It was an absurd number!
"I think," Kaiba assured, "that I would be the one with that number over Yuugi's head, Yami. After all, I've gone through puberty and am more developed in some...areas." Yami blinked in surprise. "Yuugi, on the other hand..." He trailed off and Yami flushed darkly in embarrassment. Sure, Kaiba wasn't speaking about him, but Yuugi was his abiou and almost the same! So was Kaiba saying that he...?
"That's quite enough!" Principal Carter hastily said. "Thank you for your, er, help, Mr. Kaiba..."
"LET ME TEAR HIM TO SHREDS!" Yami roared, but the principal shoved him in the office and carted him off. Kaiba eyed the door, then shrugged to himself, leaving to his fifth period class.
In the office, Malik and Marik were – reluctantly – assisting in dragging the furious Pharaoh to the principal's office. "What's his problem?" Bakura asked, leisurely walking beside them. The two Ishtar's grunted in indifference as Yami tried to make a dive for the door. "...Yeah...So what do you wanna talk about?"
"HOW ABOUT YOU HELP US, ASSHOLE?" They roared at him, right in Yami's ears. The Pharaoh let out a string of Egyptian, wincing. They glared at him and continued to shove and heave and drag. Bakura sighed, rolling his eyes.
"Each of you grab one of his arms and hold on," he ordered, going to the back of them. They did as asked, though warily. Yami watched him suspiciously as well. Bakura knelt quickly and grabbed Yami's legs, heaving him up.
"YAHHH! LET GO OF ME!" Yami shrieked, struggling futilely.
"To the principal's office!" They announced, running after Principal Carter with Yami screaming all the way. "One! Two! Three!" They threw him in the office and the principal let out a feminine shriek as Yami headed right for him. There was a loud crash as Yami collided into him, knocking them both out of the window.
"BAKKURRAAA!" Yami howled, then there was a huge splash. The three rushed to the window to see that the principal and Yami had landed in the school's pool. Many of the students that were in that class scrambled out of the pool, the girls grabbing towels and covering themselves.
"So..." Malik spoke up casually. "Should we cut the rest of our classes and not come back for awhile?"
"Er..." Marik and Bakura glanced at each other, then Malik, and then to the pool. "Definitely." They hurried away, for once afraid of what their punishment might be.

That night, Yuugi settled down at his desk, opening his journal, a smile on his face. He took his pen and wrote the date up, then looked thoughtful, before beginning to write...
Dear Journal,
It was an interesting day. Yami got thrown in the pool from the second floor by Bakura, Malik, and Marik. He's really angry and the principal is, too. The three skipped out on the rest of school. Oh and Anzu told me today that we get Halloween off! Of course, this means that one of our other holidays are gone or we go to school a day earlier after summer break – or something like that. But anyway, Anzu told me that she had promised Mokuba to take him Trick-Or-Treating and so she asked me and the others to go. Ryou had been a bit hesitant, saying that he'd have to bring Bakura and Bakura would have to bring Marik and Malik (the three of them are inseparable nowadays! So, we'll be accompanying her to do that. I'm actually kind of excited. I wonder if I could get candy...? I'm always answering the door on Halloween instead of being the one at the door.
So, along with that, I ran into Kaiba today...Literally. Actually both Anzu and I did and we were kind of brain dead, so we just sat on him for awhile before he snapped at us. Well, we did, but you know what? – and I don't think that Anzu realized it until Kaiba said something. Anzu had been getting up, but, um, those skirts are kind of short and her back was facing him so when she got up, he could see under her skirt. I don't know if I've seen a startled expression like that come on Kaiba's face! It took awhile to register for him and then he stood up and said to Anzu, "I don't think that purple suits you that well, Anzu. Especially on your ass." I felt so bad for Anzu! She looked shocked, then very angry. Before she could say anything, though, he was walking away and halfway down the hall. Wow! I wonder if we're becoming better friends with Kaiba? I mean, that's something Jounouchi would say. Hmm...I wonder. Maybe I'll ask Yami.
Yuugi paused in his writing and turned to Yami, who was sewing. "Yami?" He came over to him and paled, seeing that the Pharaoh was making voodoo dolls of Bakura, Malik, and Marik.
"Bwahaha...Those bastards will pay now! Hahaha!" Yuugi swallowed and Yami blinked, hearing it. "Oh. Yuugi...Is there something you needed?"
"Um...Do you think we're becoming friends with Kaiba?" He asked nervously. Yami's face lit up, then darkened.
"FRIENDS? Don't use that word and Kaiba's name in the same sentence, Yuugi!" Yami bolted to his feet and grabbed Yuugi, shaking him. "NEVER DO THAT AGAIN, DO YOU HEAR ME?"
"(OO) Yes, Yami, yes!" Yuugi hastily said. Yami dropped him and turned back to his voodoo dolls, muttering, "I'd better make a doll of Kaiba, too..."
Yuugi returned to his desk, writing again...
Um, that's a negative. It seems Yami still hates Kaiba quite a bit. I guess I don't blame him, but still...Well, I'm sure that I'll get the answer soon! You know, Yami acts really wise, but he can be a little insane.
Okay! Bye, bye, journal!
Yours, Yuugi
Yuugi sighed in contentment and shut his journal. He blinked, hearing a low growl and slowly turned around to see Yami behind him, a pair of scissors arched above Yuugi's head. "Insane, am I?" Yami whispered quietly.
"(OO) O-oh no, Yami, I didn't mean – GAH!" Yuugi ducked as Yami slashed at air.
"COME BACK HERE, ABIOU!"
Meanwhile, Grandpa Mutou glanced at the ceiling as he was cleaning the shop, hearing screams of terror and angry shouts from Yuugi and Yami. Sighing, he shook his head, muttering, "I told Yuugi's mother not to smoke when she was pregnant, but does anyone ever listen to me? Nooo, not old grandpa! And now look at what I've got! Some hopped-up teenager that hasn't even gone through puberty! Yeesh..."

DIS: So how did you guys like my first chapter? Was it okay? I know it's kind of slow and this one was a bit pointless, but I guess it had its moments. Ah, but Yuugi...So naïve, is he! Anyway, more random moments, humor, and romance to come! Please review on your way out and tell me how you like it! Ciao!
