Something Luna hadn't considered when Jounouchi became friends with Yugi was that Yugi was a growing high school boy with hormones. And Jounouchi was a prime example of such a boy with little sense of delicacy or tact.
Which is why when her uncle had dropped her off to school, Luna was a bit surprised and slightly disgusted when she overheard Jounouchi and Yugi talking about a porn film.
"Don't let Honda hear about this." She interrupted, smirking when they jumped up and said her name in fright. "He's going to prattle on about how those videos are dirtying your mind from the purity or whatever."
"That's kind of the point of porn." Jounouchi said as Yugi went bright red when Luna raised an eyebrow at him.
"And I can't believe you buy into the myth of squinting your eyebrows." Luna sighed. "My uncle says that was just a way for kids to buy the films and subsequently ruin their eyes."
"Your uncle told you this?!" Jounouchi exclaimed as Yugi's blush became brighter.
"Yeah, when he asked why I was staying home yesterday, I told him it was because Yugi wanted to watch a porn film you gave him. Trying to squint at the mosaics the other stuff you were talking about." Luna replied, Yugi squeaking in embarrassment. "He laughed quite loudly at that."
"Luna-chan." Yugi said, looking as if he wanted the floor to cave in and bury him. Luna burst out laughing at the looks on his and Jounouchi's faces, ranging from embarrassment to blatant awe at her bluntness.
"Hm?" Luna said, noticing a van in front of the school. "Ne, what's that?"
Yugi and Jounouchi turned, seeing the van with some surprise. Very quickly, the trio came up to the van to read at the letters on the side.
"Z-TV?" Luna said. "Are they doing a story on our school?"
"M-Maybe it's an idol coming to our school!" Yugi said in excitement, Jounouchi jumping on that idea quickly.
"That must be it!" Jounouchi awed, peering around the van to see if he can get a better look. "Hey Luna, try see if you can spot them."
"What idol?" Luna replied skeptically, although she still followed Jounouchi's orders, a bit curious herself. Yugi tried looking into the van window, his face all squished up when Jounouchi asked him if he saw anything.
"I can't, it must be a one-way mirror…" Yugi replied in disappointment. Luna pulled him back, Yugi massaging his face with a slight smile. "I wonder if we'll get to be on TV! A-Although, I don't think I'd be good in the spotlight."
"With hair like yours, you'd be a memorable background character." Luna giggled, Yugi patting his hair with a giggle.
"Not me!" Jounouchi stated proudly. "The camera loves me!"
"Yeah, in animal documentaries." Luna replied before taking off when Jounouchi finally got around to it.
"You little –"He was shouting, Yugi's laughter bright and loud behind them.
"EH?!" Anzu exclaimed later at break. "An idol?!"
"That's what they think." Luna replied as Jounouchi gave Anzu a smug look, pointing out the window to the van parked outside school grounds.
"Why else would there be a TV van?" He questioned, Yugi nodding along. Anzu turned her glance at Luna.
"You believe that too?" Anzu asked, Luna shrugging.
"Well, I mean it would be interesting." She responded with a sheepish grin. "Besides, wouldn't you want to meet a real-life idol?"
"W-Well sure, but come on…" Anzu replied a bit hesitantly. "Wouldn't have the teachers told us if someone famous was coming to school?"
"O-Oh yeah…" Yugi muttered, sagging despondently. Even the tips of his hair seemed to droop as he realized that they might have jumped to conclusions.
Until Jounouchi that is.
"Hehe, morons!" He said, posing up on a chair and desk. "She's probably disguised as a student!" He got a sly look on his face. "I'll get her alone and strip her of her mask!"
"Oi." Luna snorted as Yugi and Anzu went bright red.
"Jounouchi-kun…that's…" Yugi fumbled while Anzu retorted sharply.
"They'll throw the book at you!" She warned, Jounouchi glaring.
"There's no penalty for stripping!" He shot back.
"Maybe not in bed, but outside its just sexual harassment." Luna replied with a slight grin. "And you'll get arrested for it."
"Luna-chan!" Anzu gaped, scandalized as Jounouchi fell off the chair in laughter. Yugi looked to torn between laughing and being horrified, his face an interesting red as he held in his laughter and embarrassment.
"Ah! Anzu-chan, wait! I'm sorry!" Luna apologized quickly as Anzu began to pinch her sides before it dissolved into a tickling war. One that Luna was losing badly. "W-Wait okay! I g-get it j-just stop!" She wheezed, squealing when Anzu pinched the back of her neck.
"Finally! Lunch time!" Jounouchi cheered as the rest of us got out of our seats to head to the cafeteria. "Man, Honda better have saved us a spot in line for food!"
"It's more likely that he saved Miho-chan a spot then us." Luna replied, getting a slight giggle from Anzu and Yugi. Jounouchi sagged when he realized that the dark-skinned teen had a point about that, before he brightened suddenly.
"Wait! This would be the perfect time to find that idol!" Jounouchi exclaimed, making the three of them pause.
"Really Jounouchi-kun?" Anzu sighed in exasperation, shaking her head. "I'm going on ahead, I don't need to hear this again. You guys want me to get anything before I get there? To save time."
Luna dug into her pockets to give Anzu her lunch money. "Try get the yakisoba bread if you can, but if not, just save that for me to get a normal plate."
"Milk!" Yugi chipped in, handing Anzu his money as well. Anzu flashed them a smile before she left, leaving the two to handle with Jounouchi.
"Really though, Jounouchi," Luna said, as the teen's eyes began to sparkle at the thought of catching the idol. "We never heard anything about it in homeroom. Maybe Z-TV was just covering something else. Like a school documentary or something."
"Hmph, you got no sense of adventure." Jounouchi scoffed, Luna glaring at him while he turned to Yugi. "What do you think, Yugi?" He asked, only to see the boy hesitate. "Che! Fine, I'll search for the idol myself!" He fled off with a determined look on his face, Yugi and Luna staring at his back in some awe.
"Should I be impressed or worried that he's willing to skip school for this?" Luna asked idly, only to see Yugi look a bit downcast. She nudged him softly with her elbow. "Hey, don't worry about Jounouchi, he won't stop being your friend just because you don't want to go idol hunting with him."
"You sure, Luna-chan?" Yugi asked hopefully, Luna nodding.
"He's as hot-headed as he's always been." Luna said, wrapping an arm around Yugi with a wide grin. "So when he fails, we can be there to console him before we go back to challenging each other with fun games. I won't even say anything when he gives you another porn film!"
"Luna-chan!" Yugi squeaked, swatting her arm away. Luna laughed loudly at his bright red face, poking his cheek teasingly. She was a bit surprised when someone called out Yugi. A older looking student came up to them with a headband around his forehead.
"Who are you?" Luna asked, the boy bowing.
"I'm Fujita, from a different class." The student said vaguely, his eyes on Yugi. Yugi gave him a bow in return, looking a bit nervous at being called out so suddenly. "Hey, I heard you guys were looking for the idol, right?"
"Eh?" Yugi said, brightening. "You mean there really is an idol here?!"
Luna stared at Fujita in surprise, narrowing her eyes.
"I know who she is, so I can introduce you." Fujita offered to Yugi, who flushed brightly and exclaimed loud in excitement.
"Wait, how do you know something like that?" Luna asked, stepping forward to face Fujita head on, seeing his lips turn into a slight frown. "The rumor thing has only been out for a day."
"I know someone that works for Z-TV." Fujita explained roughly. "He told me before I came this morning. Happy now?"
Luna was about to reply that she wasn't when Fujita walked away.
"Yugi, I'll meet up with you later after school so I can show you." The student said, Yugi looking as if he was on cloud nine, murmuring reverently about the idol. Luna stared at Fujita's back, trying to remember what class the kid was from.
"I don't think you should go alone." Luna said once the final bell rang, Yugi packing up his stuff quickly.
"It's fine Luna-chan! I don't want the idol to feel nervous." Yugi replied merrily. "Don't worry, I'll see if I can get an autograph!"
"No, that's not what I meant," Luna argued a bit exasperatedly. "I mean that I don't like the sound of this Fujita kid. I don't even remember what class he's in."
"I thought he was an upperclassman." Yugi mused, a finger to his chin. "Although I don't really recall seeing him around either…"
"Hey, Yugi, come on!"
Yugi turned around, nodding to Fujita before he gave Luna a quick smile. Luna watched a bit helplessly as Yugi left, not liking the smug smile Fujita gave her. She was just about done with packing her own bag when Jounouchi came inside the classroom, a camera in his hand.
"You missed last period." Luna told him idly, throwing his backpack to him. "How was idol hunting?"
"Nothing." Jounouchi scowled, before noticed Yugi wasn't with her. "I thought we were going to the Game Shop after."
"This kid named Fujita told Yugi that he knew where the idol was," Luna scowled, not noticing Jounouchi pause. "They left a few minutes ago, but I'm a bit worried. Maybe we should go check up on –"
"Come on! If Yugi really is meeting the idol, we need to go take a picture of her!" Jounocuhi shouted, grabbing Luna by the scruff and dragging her with him.
"H-Hey! Jounouchi, let me go! I can walk on my own two feet, dammit!" Luna argued, stumbling for a moment before her friend let go. She was a bit relieved that Jounouchi was willing to listen to her, even if he didn't get the gist of what she had meant.
"Where would they be?" Jounouchi mused aloud.
"Well, if I was up to no good, or meeting a famous idol," Luna said a tad sarcastically "I'd go somewhere hidden and secluded so no one would see me."
They shared a look.
"Behind the gym." They said in unison, taking off. It became a bit of a race as they tried to see who could get to the gym first (Jounouchi would later argue that he won, while Luna argued that she won), but any thoughts of the race came to a stop when they saw Fujita beating Yugi up.
"Yugi!" Luna gasped as Jounouchi picked up the pace. Luna came to Yugi's side, seeing a bruise begin to blossom at her friend's cheek as Jounouchi picked Fujita up by his collar.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Jounouchi roared, raising a fist. Luna was about to yell the same when she noticed someone come out of the bushes. He had a goatee and wore a baggy t-shirt and pants, while the baseball cap on the man's head was backwards. Luna stared, wondering what the hell that old guy was doing in the bushes when she noticed a camera.
"Cut, cut!" The man said with a sly grin on his face. Like they were all actors on set, and that this was a scene going wrong. "That's alright now Fujita, you did a good job."
"Excuse me?!" Luna exclaimed as Jounouchi glared. She held Yugi in her arms tightly, scowling at the man. "He just beat up our friend! Who the hell are you anyways?!"
"Just the director for Z-TV sweetheart." The man shrugged, Luna bristling. She was about to stand up before Yugi grabbed her arm weakly.
"Yugi, are you okay?" Jounouchi asked when he noticed the movement.
"I…I'm sorry…" Yugi apologized, Luna and Jounouchi staring at him in surprise. "There wasn't an idol after all."
"Yugi, it's not your fault!" Jounouchi argued.
"The one who needs to apologize is him!" Luna added, pointing at the director with ire. The director looked a tad disgusted at the display before he told the camera man to stop filming.
"Listen, it was just bad luck that your friend got chosen to play the victim." The director said idly, digging in his ear with his pinkie. "The odds were about the same as rolling a one on a die." The director chuckled, smiling like he won a huge prize. "But don't worry, we got some good footage out of it! Sympathetic viewers will be sending you letters by the dozen! You're a star Yugi!"
"Are you asking to die?!" Jounouchi yelled, running over to give that man a piece of his mind. The director didn't look worried at all, even as Jounouchi grabbed him by the collar and raised his fist.
"Go ahead, hit me." The director taunted. "Just don't forget the camera."
Luna stood up, running over to Jounouchi, shouting "Don't! The camera isn't even rolling!"
Jounouchi's hesitance cost him as the director kneed him quite hard in the torso, Luna catching him quickly.
"Bastard!" Luna yelled before the director laughed.
"Just try and say anything else girl!" The director taunted, grabbing her by the cheek. "If you want, I can just film all of you and make you and your friends the laughing stock of the world!"
Luna flinched, paling at the thought. While her father had made use of the media before, she knew that what the director said held some truth to it. The last thing she needed was to have her face being plastered over the news, or for her friend's lives to get ruined because of it.
The director only laughed louder at her expression letting Luna go as he walked off with the cameraman and Fujita in tow.
"Don't worry! I'll hide your faces with a digital mosaic!" The man boasted. "No one will even recognize you!"
Luna bit her lip as he walked off, furious with herself before noticing at her Bracelets were glowing ominously.
"You alright?" A deep voice asked her, and Luna turned around, mouth agape. Before her stood the fake Yugi, a wadjet on his forehead.
Luna had managed to convince Dark Yugi to help her bring Jounouchi to the Game Shop, where her friend could rest for a moment. Yugi's own grandfather wasn't there, leaving a note on the counter saying that he was going to pick up some groceries for dinner. With some assistance from her 'knight', she got Jounouchi to the living room, laying him on the couch.
"Wait here," The specter said, Luna blinking in surprise when she saw him grab a die from behind the counter.
"Off to play knight again?" She asked, standing up to follow, grabbing Yugi's spare house key in his bag. She saw a small smirk from on his face, pausing to look over his shoulder.
"And if I am?" He asked, waiting patiently for her response.
"I'm coming." She decided, seeing him narrow his eyes.
"After what that man did? He could have hurt you too, you know." He replied, Luna frowning when he turned back to leave. She sped up, stopping right in front of his, fist to her sides. 'Yugi' paused again, looking a bit surprised at the defiance on her face.
"Now listen up," Luna began lowly, stepping a bit closer with a finger to his chest. "You're angry about what he did? Newsflash, I am too. He tricked us and hurt both Jounouchi and Yugi. I'm fuming at the thought that that man might have hurt more people too. If he's going to get what's coming to him, I of all people have the right to be there in their stead."
She saw him give her an impressed glance before Luna crossed her arms and gave him a slight smirk.
"Besides," She added, seeing the specter give her a curious glance. "Do you even know the way to Z-TV?"
She saw him pause, his mouth open to answer, but nothing coming out. Luna smiled triumphantly, grabbing his wrist.
"Thought not." She hummed. Luna was a bit smug to say that while the specter behind her sighed in exasperation, he made no movement to stop her from dragging him to the nearest bus stop.
"Ugh, this place feels bigger than the last time my uncle brought me…" Luna muttered a bit cautiously as they got off, peering up at Z-TV broadcast station a bit hesitantly.
"You're uncle?" The specter echoed a bit idly. Luna looked around, trying to remember where the parking lot was.
"He had an interview." She explained before she pointed to where it was. The specter nodded his thanks as they made their way to the parking area, ducking under the yellow barrier. She saw the specter give her a curious look, Luna realizing she might have said a bit too much.
"What does he do?" He asked curiously. Luna hesitated a bit, trying to come up with a good excuse. But she couldn't find it in herself to lie, not when this guy had risked his life to save her from Ushio and now avenging their friends with the director.
"He…sort of helps 'Abi's company…at least for the branch in Japan." Luna replied slowly. She saw the specter pause, stopping in front of a car with a careful look on his face. Luna partly hoped that he didn't hear her.
"Here…" She heard him murmur, seeing a wadjet glow dimly on his forehead before the specter turned to her.
"Your fathers company?" He repeated and Luna sighed as he stood there, waiting. "Sounds like a big thing."
"Haha…yeah…" She replied a bit sheepishly. "It's…amazing. The result of my family's hard work, while 'Abi is considered to be its best director yet."
"You would think you'd sound proud about that." The specter said to her carefully.
"I am proud." Luna retorted softly, seeing the specter give her a look of disbelief. "Never mind, it doesn't matter."
"I doubt that." Was the reply she got, Luna being saved from answering when they heard the director's voice. He seemed to be discussing something with another colleague before he broke off to get to his car, Luna stepping out of the shadows with the resident ghost.
She watched as the director turned around, apparently spotting them through his side-view mirror.
"I've been waiting for you, director." 'Yugi' said, grinning a bit when the director looked at him in confusion. Luna could understand that reaction, at least. Even though this specter wasn't Yugi, it sure as hell looked a lot like him. The dramatic change of personality would give anyone whiplash. What Luna didn't understand was why the man's expression turned to her.
"You!" The director said and there was a greedy grin on his face. "Well, just my luck, you've been on my mind this whole day."
Luna froze, sharing a look with fake Yugi.
"I was thinking that I recognized you from somewhere." The director continued, apparently noticing their unease. Luna stood stock still as he took out a photo from his pocket, Luna paling at the picture. It was an old photo before her mother had died. It was of Luna, her face half-hidden behind a guard while her father and mother walked together, side by side. "Tsukino, isn't that your family name? I couldn't believe it. I would have thought a rich girl like you would be attending one of those fancy prep schools in America. Or were you unable to handle all the publicity you and your old man are getting back home?"
Luna glared at the director at the mention, wondering how the hell he remembered something like that.
"What about it?" She hissed back, feeling a hand on her shoulder. The specter was giving her a concerned look, silently relaying for her to calm down. Luna nodded as they turned their gaze back to the director's sneering one.
"I wonder what your old man would say if he knew you were loitering around like this, so late at night." The director mused loudly, taking out a camera from inside his car. Luna felt her anxiety spike when he turned it on. "Picking a fight and all with your little boyfriend there. Or maybe he won't even care?"
"I see." Dark Yugi spoke up, looking at the director shrewdly. "So, using me and hurting my friend wasn't enough? Now you want to exploit another person close to me?"
"Sure do Yugi-kun!" The director replied with a devilish grin. "It's the beauty of media! The viewers at home should know when rich little girls like her abuse their privilege."
"Big talk from you." Luna hissed back, seeing Dark Yugi give a small grin.
"Why don't we play a game then?" He offered, Luna stepping back as he took out a die. "There's nothing to be afraid of, its just a simple game of rolling the die." There was a small chuckle. "People have been staking their lives on these things since ancient Egypt! Of course, back then they used astragali…"
Luna might have imagined it, but for a moment, the specter seemed to sound a bit wistful at the mention of the ancient game. Almost like it was a distant memory.
"And why would I do something like that?" The director asked.
"If you win, I'll tell you all about that incident from five years ago." Luna spoke up, getting a look from both the director and Dark Yugi. The director looked elated, while 'Yugi' looked concerned. "An exclusive that no one else has ever gotten before."
"Hoho…" The director mused, looking interested. "And if your little knight here wins?"
Luna shared a look with the 'knight' himself, seeing his smug grin at the term. She rolled her eyes.
"That's up to him, I guess." She replied, seeing the nod of thanks from Dark Yugi.
"Alright then, explain this game." The director relented with a cocky grin.
To put it simply, it was a game where the winner would be the one who rolled the lesser number. Dark Yugi had even said that the director would still win if there was a tie.
"As for what I get if I win," He added. "Then you play a penalty game."
Game Start
Dark Yugi dropped the die from his hand, getting a six. Luna blinked in surprise from where she stood, paling a bit at the number. It didn't help that the director also laughed quite loudly, now fully confident that he was going to win.
"I doesn't matter what number comes up, I don't even need to roll the die!" He boasted. Only Dark Yugi seemed to be keeping his cool, Luna near shivering behind him. She couldn't stand the thought of speaking to the director of all people about the incident from five-years ago. She couldn't.
"The odds are in your favor." Dark Yugi admitted easily, a cool smirk on his face. "But the game isn't over until you roll."
The director scoffed, picking up the die with a glint in his eye.
"Bratty little punk!" He insulted, the die shifting in his palm. "Fine, I'll do it…" Luna started when the director threw the die at his face. "I'll put a hole in your head while I'm at it!"
Luna didn't even look at what the director rolled, grabbing the man by his shirt in anger.
"What the hell?!" She yelled, the director laughing.
"A one, Tsukino." The director boasted. "Looks like I get that interview!"
Luna scowled, before she felt her wrist burn. She let go of the director, seeing that the wadjet on her Bracelets were glowing, Luna turning around to see that Dark Yugi was grinning. She looked to the ground.
The die was split in half, showing a one and a six. Making it.
"A seven?!" She heard the director exclaim. Luna stepped back, seeing the magic collect at Dark Yugi's forehead.
"Penalty Game!" He announced, the eye shining off his forehead like a beacon. "Mosaic Illusion!"
She watched as the director clutched his eyes, looking horrified before getting on his knees and screaming in agnoy.
"If you want to bend the truth in front of the camera's, then all you see with be censored!" Dark Yugi explained with a satisfied smirk. He held out his hand. "Let's go, before security gets here."
Luna nodded, taking one last look at the pitiful man before grabbing his hand.
Game Over
"Are all Millennium Items able to do what you did?" Luna asked once they got off the bus and headed towards the Game Shop. Dark Yugi looked at her, his eyes glancing at her Bracelets.
"Have you ever been able to use yours?" He asked, taking her wrist to stare at one of the Bracelets. They were a simple gold band with a Wadjet on each. Luna shook her head.
"They never really did anything until…" She looked to Dark Yugi. "Well, until you came, really. I mostly where them as a memento."
He looked a bit surprised at that, giving the Bracelet another calculating glance before letting go, putting a hand on his Puzzle.
"Maybe ours are connected then." He suggested after a moment, Luna blinking. "Mind you, I wasn't aware that there was more than just my Puzzle."
"Of course, there is." Luna said, blinking. "Although, the story around them has been a bit vague. I think my mother told me there's eight of these items, but no one is really aware of where they are…actually, the Millennium Puzzle was considered lost to history."
"Is that so…" Dark Yugi said, looking to be deep in thought. Luna regarded him for a moment, recalling how he sounded when talking about astragali.
"Is it possible…" Luna muttered, seeing his gaze return to her. "I figured you were a ghost, but maybe you're older than I thought." He raised an eyebrow at that, looking a tad offended.
"You're calling me old?" He replied, Luna snorting at his expression.
"You appeared from a five thousand-year-old artifact." She replied, seeing his expression purse. "Yeah, I'm calling you old. You're a sixteen-year-old going on ancient." Luna fell silent, peering at him closely as they came in front of the shop.
"What? Trying to find wrinkles?" Dark Yugi asked, Luna bursting into giggles.
"No, I think I know what to call you." She replied with a small grin. He looked at her in surprise. "Like you said from last time."
"I thought I was your knight?" He teased, Luna laughing.
"Sounds too cheesy." She replied. "I was thinking something like…Yami."
"Yami?" He repeated, sounding a bit interested.
"Yami no Game." Luna explained, seeing his expression turn amused. "That's what you did with Ushio, and this time with the director. And they seem to think you're a dark version of Yugi, so…Yami."
"Yami…" He murmured, a bit more to himself that anything. Luna saw something flash in his eyes, something like longing. "A name…for me?"
"Yeah…" Luna said, wondering if she did something wrong. "I thought it fit you. No?"
He only grinned, a bit softer than the grins he gave in a game.
"I like it." He replied, nodding gratefully. "Thank you, Luna."
Luna blushed a bit at the lack of honorific, almost intimate sounding. Yami only chuckled at her expression, opening the door the shop.
"You should call your uncle." He said, inviting her in. "He'd want to hear about where you've been."
"Oh shit." Luna realized, running in the store and using the landline. She saw a flash of gold and turned, seeing Yugi collapse next to her.
"Yugi?"
Luna was in the middle of grabbing Yugi when his grandfather walked in, looking relieved.
"Luna-chan! There you are!" He hobbled over, checking Yugi over. "What happened? Why are you two out so late at night? Why was Jounouchi-kun collapsed on my sofa?"
"We…got held up. There was a TV station in front of the school." Luna said after a moment. "Yugi and Jounouchi got hurt after a small scuffle with the crew."
"What?" Grandpa exclaimed, aghast.
"It's fine!" Luna replied. "We got it handled back at the station…"
Grandpa sighed, looking at Yugi with some worry before he helped Luna bring him to his room.
"Why don't you stay the night, Luna-chan?" Grandpa offered. "You and my grandson might as well get some rest before school tomorrow."
"O-Oh, I can't impose." Luna replied. "I don't even have a change of clothes."
"I'll call your uncle and ask him to bring by a spare uniform early in the morning." Yugi's grandfather compromised, all but pushing her up the stairs. "Go on, rest! You kids have too much energy for this old man. The guestroom is next to Yugi's!"
Luna could only comply, bringing Yugi to his room before collapsing in the guest room.
"Eh? Luna-chan?" Anzu said at the school gate when she saw Luna walking with Yugi to school.
"Morning…" Luna said drowsily, mirrored by Yugi, who yawned. Her uncle had come by earlier with a change of clothes, all but reprimanding her for staying out so late and not calling him without any explanation as to why. And then he demanded that she tell him the name of the crew that had hurt her friends and her (because her uncle knew that there was no way she would have stood by idly).
While her uncle would have given her a ride, he had gone off quickly to file a lawsuit once Luna had explained the situation. Leaving for her and Yugi to walk to school. Luna quickly fell into step with Anzu as Jounouchi came up to greet Yugi.
"I had slept over at Yugi's last night." Luna explained. "The whole idol thing ended up being a huge mess."
"I figured." Anzu said with a concerned look to both Luna and the boys. "I heard that one of the directors got admitted to the hospital. Found him last night in his parking lot, screaming."
Luna said nothing, still feeling a bit vindictive.
"He deserved it, after what he did to Yugi and Jounouchi." Luna muttered, before relaying some of what happened to Anzu. She gasped loudly, her face growing red with anger before Anzu calmed down.
"Well…at least he won't be doing anything like that again." Anzu muttered, Luna nodding in agreement. "Hm? What's Jounouchi taking out of his bag?"
"Ah…" Luna said with a snort. "He agreed to give Yugi a porn film."
Anzu raised an eyebrow, shooting the boys a look of slight disgust and disdain. Then she giggled.
"Anzu-chan?" Luna asked, wondering if her mind was playing tricks on her in her sleep-deprived state.
"Watch this…" Anzu whispered back, walking up casually to the boys and taking the VHS tape from Jounouchi's hands. Luna watched in awe as Jounouchi and Yugi paled. "Hmm?" Anzu said in an innocent tone. "What's this? A good movie?"
Luna laughed as Anzu continued to walk off, holding the tape in her hand with a wink. Jounouchi and Yugi attempted to take it back, almost stumbling over each other.
"If it's that interesting, then I'll just borrow it!" Anzu teased, Luna doubling over.
"Wait, Anzu-chan! I'll watch it with you!" Luna yelled back. "We'll make it a girl's night with Miho-chan!"
"Oh! Good idea!" Anzu replied, keeping up an innocent exterior as the boys gaped. Luna cackled as they tossed it around, playing keep away from the boys.
Ayyy, this was originally going to be a rewrite of the original chapter, but then I was like 'hey wait, this would be the perfect way to implement more of Luna's past' and then this happened. Besides, I figured that I should give the director some reason to actually play since in the manga, he's kind of just like 'wow, I should totally amuse this high school kid to play with a die.' Also after extensive research using google, multiple language sites and YouTube videos, I have determined that Abi is a formal term for 'my father' in Arabic. If this is a mistake/mistranslated, don't hesitate to correct me.
Thank you so much to all the people to have followed and favorite this fic so far! Don't be scared to review to tell me what you think of the fic/chapter so far! See you guys soon!
