A/N: When I was reading the reviews on the last chapter, a lot of people said they'd like to see them playing Twister. And special thanks to bloodredfox for plot help!
Chapter 2: Twister
Ryo sighed and stared at the ceiling as Bakura ransacked the bags of games everywhere.
"Aha!" the yami grinned as he pulled out a white box with lots of colorful spots all over it.
"We're going to start with this one!" Ryo just shook his head.
"Bakura, that's Twister," he stated.
"Well duh," the darker half groaned as he rolled his eyes, "I can read y'know!" He threw the box into Ryo's hands and demanded that he open it. The hikari just rolled his eyes and opened the box to reveal the plastic mat, the cardboard wheel, and black and white instructions.
"Alright, now set it up!" Bakura ordered.
"Okay, okay," Ryo groaned, "no need to get pushy." He unfolded the mat and gently laid it out on the carpet and set the wheel next to it.
"Now explain how to play this game!" the yelled.
"Why did I see this coming?" Ryo mumbled to himself. He sighed.
"Alright," he explained, "you have one person spin the wheel, and let's say the needle lands on Right-Hand: Green. So then the people on the mat have to take their right hands and place it on a green circle. Get it?" the yami nodded.
"But how do you win?" he asked.
"When your opponent falls down," Ryo answered, "And you're now allowed to push! Or kick!" Bakura pouted.
"Wait," he yelled, "how are you going to spin the wheel and play at the same time?" Ryo grinned.
"Oh, we don't have someone to spin," he said sarcastically, "looks like we can't play. Oh darn." But the thief smiled a sadistic grin.
"But there is someone," he said. Ryo slowly turned around and began naming random people he knew.
"Jonouchi?"
"No."
"Honda?"
"No."
"Anzu?"
"No!"
"Yugi?"
"No."
"The pharaoh?"
"Hell no!"
"Kurama?"
"Who's that?"
"I… don't know…"
Bakura and Ryo stood in front of a white wooden door on the next floor of their apartment. The yami was grinning while the puzzled hikari was panting. He had to chase that insane thief all around town because Bakura said he would go on another rampage of death and destruction if he did not agree to allowing whoever it was he wanted to spin the frickin' wheel.
Bakura knocked on the door. The hikari looked up and saw a girl about his age with striking blue eyes and raven black hair.
"YOU WANT THEM TO DO IT?" the hikari yowled. Bakura grinned and nodded.
"Why," Ryo asked, "They're both O-" He was silenced when the girl and Bakura slapped his mouth shut with their hands.
"The wall, the wall!" the both whispered frantically. Ryo sighed.
"Fine…" he mumbled.
The girl sighed and invited them in.
"What can I do for you guys?" she asked. Bakura stepped up and explained everything as if it was a real life-or-death situation filled with drama and suspense.
"And we need you, Chihiro," he finished dramatically, "to spin the wheel for our Twister game!" Chihiro stared at them for a minute, and then smiled.
"Okay," she said. Bakura looked around.
"Where's the other one… Fukayna?" he asked.
"In the computer room playing the Sims 3," the girl answered, "I originally bought it for me to play when I finish my homework, but when she saw me accidentally start a fire…"
"Torturing the helpless Sims?" Ryo concluded.
"Drowning, burning, starving, electrocuting… yep."
Chihiro sat down and picked up the wheel as Ryo and Bakura stood on opposite sides of the mat.
The yami grinned.
"You may have been able to beat me yesterday at cards," he announced, "but I know that you absolutely suck at gym, so this'll be a synch for me!"
"That's not the point!" Ryo yelled.
"Remember the rope climbing…" Bakura grinned, "Let's go to a flashback!"
"NO," the hikari yowls, "NO FLASHBACK!"
***FLASHBAK***
The gym teacher blew his whistle loudly inside the gymnasium. All of the students were temporarily stunned and deaf.
"Ha ha," the teacher laughed, "this whistle was used to train marine mammals, so it needs to be extremely loud so the dolphins can hear underwater!" The students rubbed their ears and rolled their eyes.
"Today we'll be focusing on upper-body strength today," he announced, "so we'll be climbing this rope that just happens to be hanging from the ceiling!" His smiled died.
"But before we begin," he continued, "BAKURA, RYO! Come out!" A young boy with long white hair stepped out of the crowd of students.
"Y-yes…?" he mumbled.
"Before we begin, let's see if you can even do this activity," his teacher ordered. Ryo sighed and pulled himself onto the rope. But though he put in all of his strength to pull himself up, he didn't budge from the starting point. He fell off onto the hard tile floor with a thud. The gym teacher sighed.
"Just go change and go to the library," he ordered. Ryo nodded and ran out of the gymnasium.
**END FLASHBACK**
"Fine! Screw the wall!" Chihiro yelled as she threw her hands in the air. Bakura and Ryo stared at her. That hikari? Getting upset? Unheard of!
"Let's just get this over with," she mumbled as she sat down and grabbed the wheel. Ryo and Bakura looked at each other and just shrugged.
They stood on opposite sides of the plastic mat.
"Alright," the girl asked, "Ryo, did you already explain the rules to Bakura?" The hikari nodded.
"Excellent," she responded, "then let's get started!" She flexed her finger and spun the wheel.
"Right-foot green." The boys obeyed her instructions and waited for the next one. Chihiro spun the wheel again.
"Left-hand blue."
"Right-hand yellow."
"Left-foot red."
"Left-hand red."
"Left-hand yellow."
**MANY MANY HOURS LATER**
Bakura and Ryo were completely twisted all over the mat. They were like two rain clouds as sweat splashed into the plastic mat, making it a bit slippery.
Chihiro yawned. "L…left-hand, unh, green." She rubbed her eyes as she tried to keep herself awake. But the yami and hikari were still in the game.
"Can't we just call it a night, guys?" she begged.
"Must… defeat… and… win!" Bakura growled.
"Must… defeat… and… beat this crazy nut-job so I don't have to help him test all of these games!" Ryo mumbled.
"Fine, never mind on my thoughts, feelings, and life," the girl hissed.
"You have a life?" the light and dark teased.
"I outta throw this wheel at you two," she answered, "You're both just lucky that my main character design is timid, shy, and harmless."
"Isn't saying that breaking the wall?" Ryo asked as he tried to hold his own weight.
"Oh we completely murdered it earlier," she responded.
They continued to play the long and (for some) agonizing game.
Until the front door slammed open, causing Ryo and Bakura to slip and fall and Chihiro nearly leaped out of her own pale skin.
"Hey, Chihiro! I FINALLY starved Richard to death!" Fukayna yelled into the room.
"How did you know I was here?" Chihiro asked.
"If you're not at home then you're in one of three other places," she grinned, "the library, the bookstore, or here." Her hikari nodded in a reluctant agreement. Then they both looked down at Ryo and Bakura, who were still on the Twister mat.
The yami was lying on top of his hikari, their lips interlocked and their eyes stretched wide.
They both rolled off of the mat and began gagging. Chihiro and Fukayna looked at each other and both began laughing.
Ryo stood up and began running towards the front door.
"I need to talk to my therapist!" he yelled as he raced out the door.
Bakura stood up and glared at the female yami.
"This all your fault!" he yelled in her face.
"No," she grinned, "it's Richard's fault for starving to death!" They walked out of the apartment arguing and they slammed the door. Chihiro sighed, picked up the wheel, and spun it.
"Right-foot green…"
A/N: Yeah, kinda weird. Oh well! Again, I appreciate bloodredfox's help (it was her idea to use my awesome OCs)! Anyway, please please PLEASE leave a review! It'll make me very happy…
