Ok so 2nd chap now up. Thank you to everyone who reveiwed!
Mel: COOKIES FOR ALL!
Cat: Er..yeah..
I'm glad you liked it. And now Mel's better, you all should brace yourselves for the more...hyperactive part of this account.
Cat::watches Mel snuggle Yugi::
Mel::crushing Yugi in a hug:: Awww Yugi your soooo cute! Here would you like a cookie? You know you do!
Cat::stares at Yami who simply shrugs:: He's got to be able to breath Mel! BREATH! OXYGEN!
Enjoy!
"WHERES MY BLOODY SHIP?!"
Yami's voice echoed throughout the bay. The few people who were there didn't bother looking up, being either fellow pirates who had gained an easy escape route through the events of the morning, or shady business dealers. Any decent person was now hiding inside away from any trouble.
"Millie! Oh my poor, poor baby were are you?"
Seto stood with his arms crossed, watching his cousins antics with an impassive face. Marik looked around in confusion, whilst 'Katt' and Bakura found their eyes twitching in slight annoyance.
"What have those scurvy rats done with her? MY RUM WAS ON THAT SHIP!"
"Captain, don't ya think we should be er…looking for her then?"
"Damn right we are 'Katt'! Right you lot, the search for the SS Millennium is now on!"
After a fair amount of grumbles and rolling of eyes, the five people set off in different directions, just wanting to get to Domino within the next couple of days, without anything else going wrong. If that were at all possible.

Yugi laughed. Hard. He couldn't help it. Tears streamed down his face, as he watched his best friend Mel get dragged back into military grounds.
"You can't do this to me!" she was yelling, "NOOO! I WAS SO CLOSE! YUGI HELP!"
The two guards who had been dragging Mel back threw her to the ground, were Yugi had fallen to clutch his sides. Mel's claw marks were clearly visible in the dirt, which only made Yugi laugh harder. Mel simply pouted at her latest, failed, attempt to get outside to see the 'real world' as she put it. It was unknown to Yugi and his friends as to why they were kept inside a military base, but quite frankly Mel was sick of it. Mel's latest escape attempt was to hide inside a storage box filled with weapons that was being deployed to another base. When the box was placed on a ship, she would jump out and hide, then before it left the dock she would jump over the edge and swim to shore. To bad all storage boxes are double checked before they leave any base.
"Oh that's right, just suck it all up why don't you? You know-I could of made it! But instead of helping me and maybe even getting out of this dump for yourself, you chose to sit and do nothing!"
"Oh c'mon Mel, how many times have we tried and failed? And how many more times have you tried and failed?"
"Hmph…"
Other failed attempts included: dressing up as a solider who was ready to patrol the borders of the base, dressing up as a pirate ready to be hanged in the village square, sneaking through the dog pounds to climb over the only wall that wasn't covered in electrified barbed wire (this resulted in many bite marks and scratches), trying to use an old fashioned catapult to spring over the walls, trying to fight her way out (which very nearly succeeded-unfortunately Mel didn't carry sleep-induced bullets around with her-and many other wacky tries. The latest attempt was by far the smartest-for Mel that is.
"Hey guys…uh-what's up with Yugi?" Malik strode over to were his two friends were sitting.
Yugi pointed to the claw marks on the floor and panted out: "Mel's…latest…attempt!"
"Oooh I see. I wish I could have seen it…"
Malik was silenced by Mel's death glare. It was true that all of them dreamed of seeing and doing something different that sitting around doing nothing all day in a strict military base, but Mel wanted it more than anything. Whilst she wasn't the only woman to reside in the camp, she was the only one seen and teased on a daily basis. 'Lady Anzu' was treated with proper respect and had all the luxuries she wanted.
Definition:- Lady Anzu.(Noun) A hot-headed, idiotic, sluttish, spoiled daddy's princess.
After successfully silencing Malik Mel's face fell, disappointment written all over it. Yugi stopped laughing at this and Malik stopped cowering.
"Listen Mel-"
"I'm going to my room. Don't disturb me for a while please…"
Yugi stood up along with Mel and stood up slightly on his toes to rest a hand on Mel's shoulder. She smiled sadly and began making her way towards her room. However she didn't get very far before a lanky mass of blonde hair knocked her back down.
"Yug'? Yugi there you are! Come quickly!"
Mel pushed Jou off her and looked at his distraught face in worry. Yugi also noted his expression and rushed over to him.
"Jou? Jou, what happened?"
"Yugi it's Grandpa he's-"
But Jou was given no time to explain as Yugi bolted towards the Hospital Quarters, as he had a horrible feeling that's exactly were he'd find his Grandpa.
-
Seto had found the SS Millennium with apparent ease. He had not lied to Yami when he had told him 'She was exactly were you left her'. Crashed into the side of the bay. When the others finally found him, he had gone through at least five bottles of rum (which apparently had no affect on him).
"Well. That's interesting." Was all Yami had said before jumping back onto his beloved 'Millie'. 'Katt' had scowled and rolled up her sleeves before jumping on board. After a few crash, bangs and wallops later Seto, Marik and Bakura joined her.
"Where's Yami?" Seto had asked a calm and untouched 'Katt'.
"Cleaning up-then were gonna go pick up the crew."
Seto nodded before steering the SS Millennium away from the bay. It was going to be a long journey to Domino.
-
Yugi dropped to his knee's at the side of his Grandpa's bed. He was awake, Yugi noted with relief, but had many bandages and scars adorning him. Sugoroku smiled weakly at his grandson.
"Grandpa, what happened?"
"Pirates."
And that's all that needed to be said. Mel and Jou had arrived shortly after Yugi, Malik had gone to get Ryou, and heard the last word spoken by Sugoroku. They looked at him in shock.
"But I thought you were hanging that pirate crew led by Yami Moto today-were you attacked on the way home?"
Sugoroku looked up and locked eyes with Mel. Instantly his eyes widened.
"Grandpa?" Yugi whispered, fearing the worst.
Sugoroku had always known his grandson and his friends looked like the crew of the SS Millennium, it was one of the reasons he insisted on keeping them safe inside the military base, for fear one of them would be wrongly accused of being a pirate. However, although there was known to be a woman pirate amongst the crew of Yami Moto, Sugoroku had only really seen her today. And by God-Mel and 'Katt' looked the exact same.
"They escaped. We had to fight them."
"Oh…Grandpa are you sure your alright? Don't worry, you'll catch them again. I know you will." Mel smiled reassuringly.
"Thank you. Would you mind if I spoke to my grandson a moment? Privately?"
"Of course not. Come on Jou, we'll wait outside."
Yugi looked up at his Grandpa with wide, confused eyes. Sugoroku opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally starting:
"Do you still have that necklace your mother gave you before she died?"
"Um…yes Grandpa I do-why?"
"Keep it safe-at all times. You haven't told anyone about it have you?"
"No Gramps" Yugi smiled innocently "I haven't."
Sugoroku stared at Yugi, looking for any signs that he was lying to him. Then he let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding.
"What's going on Grandpa?"
For a couple of minutes, Sugoroku contemplated telling Yugi everything, but stopped himself just in time.
"It's nothing. Run along now, I need time to rest."
Yugi looked like he was going to protest but closed his mouth once he heard his Grandpa emit a loud snore from his mouth.
"Stay safe Grandpa…" he said softly before making his way out of the room. Once the door had closed behind him, Sugoroku sat up slightly staring sadly at the door.
"You too Yugi…you too…"
Mel::still snuggling Yugi and now cuddling Yami::
