Chapter 3: Revenge and a Rescue

Seto looks around the makeshift "camp" they've managed to make in the past four hours. Over in the outer edge of the forest is a small hut made from palm leaves that are tied together (Seto was forced to sacrifice his purple trench coat), as well as scraps from the boat. Out in the middle of the beach is Mariku and Malik's pile of burning coconuts. A separate pile of coconuts, surrounded by sticks that have been sharpened using the dagger Ryou appropriated, rests far away from the fire. Overhead storm clouds hang ominously.

"Do you really think we'll be able to stay in that without problems?" Ryou asks. "Half of us here don't get along."

Seto glares at him for questioning his plans. Mokuba and Joey come to the rescue before Seto can snap at the peaceful whitenette and get Bakura pissed off.

"Its just until the storm passes." Mokuba says. "And me and Joey have been working on walls to separate people. We've got one finished but it's really flimsy."

"And we could always play a game that we all like." Joey says. "Just like when we played the road trip version of 'Whose Line is it Anyway'. Only this time it'll be the stranded-on-an-island version."

Mokuba nods happily. "Yeah! That was awesome!"

"I refuse to participate in that infernal game again." Seto says.

Mokuba pouts. "But we had so much fun last time! And it helped pass the time quickly and no one argued. Would you rather have people arguing or people getting along for once?"

"…" Seto looks away not wanting to admit defeat to his younger brother.

"So, who wants to play the stranded-on-an-island version of 'Whose Line' tonight?" Mokuba cheerfully asks. "Raise your hand if you want to play!"

Just about everyone's hand goes up. Seto and Mai are the only exceptions.

"Its unanimous." Mokuba says. "When the storm hits we'll go in our shelter and have fun!"

Mariku waves a hand in the air frantically. "What do we do until then? Can we torment one another? Can I poke people with sharp objects?"

"No." Seto growls. "Just… go do something." He walks off by himself. After being stuck around all of them for days on end during the road trip and then an airplane ride and now stranded with them, he's starting to get really tired of putting up with them all. The group can be really overwhelming when they're all together.

Joey trails after Seto, not wanting to be near Mariku for too long. The tall blond tends to get carried away with things when he's bored and Joey doesn't want to be there when all hell breaks loose. Or at least, that's what he tells himself.

Mokuba and Mai head off to inspect the shelter to make sure it can withstand the storm as well as all ten of them being in there.

This leaves the six hikari's and yami's alone on the beach and that's not really a good thing. It's especially not a good thing because Yugi, who is usually Yami's defender, is stubbornly ignoring his yami while he tries to think of the perfect way to get back at him.

Near the flaming coconuts, Mariku and Bakura have discovered the wonders of fire and hairspray. The result of the two combining the two things: an instant flamethrower.

Ryou and Malik look at the two apprehensively, not at all liking the way the two yami's are whispering to one another while looking between the fire and the hairspray.

"Do you think we should stop them?" Ryou asks. "Or at least try to stop them?"

"Yeah, because that works so well." Malik says sarcastically. "Look at it this way, if they try to light us on fire the water isn't that far away. And we don't have to worry about that anyway." He points at Yami who is sitting down in the shade of the trees. "He has to worry since, you know, those two never pass up the chance to torment him."

"True…"

As soon as Ryou speaks, Mariku and Bakura run toward Yami with a flaming stick and the can of hairspray. Pure and utter chaos follows.


"Wheeler, stop following me." Seto growls as he stomps through the forest. He has given up on trying to ignore Joey who has followed him since he left camp.

"So its back to 'Wheeler' now?" Joey asks crossly. "Fine then, Kaiba."

Seto visibly flinches and stops walking.. Not only did Joey just call him by his last name, which he hasn't done since of the road trip, he also sounds pissed off.

"Why do you have to be such a bastard, huh?" Joey demands, crossing his arms over his chest.. "You were starting to open up with all these trips! You know that's been Mokuba's plan this whole time? To get you to lighten up." He scoffs. "Yugi was optimistic about it. Hell! Yami thought it'd work! It was me who told them it wouldn't work because you were a real jerk. And then I started spending time with you and I thought, 'Hey, maybe Kaiba isn't so bad. Maybe this thing'll work.' And then you go back to being your usual bastard self!"

There's silence for a moment.

"Why do you care?" Seto asks softly.

Joey looks down at the ground and refuses to meet Seto's eyes. Seto sighs and walks over to the stubborn blond and tilts his head up so their eyes meet.

"Why?" He asks again. "Why do you care so much? How can you care so much?" He runs his thumb over Joey's cheek.

Joey's heart pounds fiercely in his chest as he stares into Seto's blue eyes. "I- I-…" He stutters and stumbles over words, his brain unable to form a sentence.

Giving into an impulse he's been fighting since the road trip ended, Seto dips down and softly kisses Joey on the lips. He pulls away and whispers, "Whatever your reason is, thank you."

It takes Joey all of five seconds to respond to Seto's remark and actions when the brunet starts walking away. "Hey!" He shouts angrily. "Come back here!" He runs over to Seto and gets in front of him. "You can't just kiss a guy when he's not expecting it and then walk away! You didn't even give me a chance to do anything!"

Seto looks down at Joey, a slight hint of fear in his eyes. He has nothing to be afraid of though, as Joey pulls Seto down for a long overdue kiss. (1)


Back at the hotel people are leaving the beach because of the dark storm clouds that are rolling in. Duke, Tristan, and Serenity were among the first to see the clouds so they're already back at the hotel.

Duke and Tristan have walked Serenity to her room and are now walking down the hall to their own room, civilly conversing along the way. Little do they know, Nixx has completed his grand master plan and has gotten it set up.

In his room, Nixx creeps over to the door and cracks it open. He's been listening carefully for them to come back in and can't wait to hear how well his plans will go.

Screams soon erupt from Duke and Tristan's room along with some minor explosions and crashing noises. Nixx smirks triumphantly as he shuts the door and then shuffles back to his bed and lays down.

"That'll teach them." He murmurs with a self-satisfied tone before he drifts off to sleep.


Back on the island the usual chaos is unfolding only now it's a little worse because the wind has picked up and its starting to rain. Also, Bakura has broken the radio in his quest to annoy Yami, Yami's sexually frustrated because Yugi keeps teasing him with kisses and light touches, and Mariku has singed part of their shelter with his flamethrower. Oh, and Seto and Joey are missing.

"Yami, what are you doing?" Yugi asks as he sits down beside his yami.

Yami doesn't look up from the busted radio he's tinkering with. "I'm trying to rewire the radio so that it'll actually work and we may be able to get some help."

Yugi sighs. "That's not going to work."

Yami looks up. "It worked on Guilligan's Island!!" He protests, waving a hand in the air.

"That was TV, Yami." Yugi gives him a look.

"Oh... So it really won't work?" Yami looks a little disappointed and Yugi almost feels sorry for him.

"Nope." Yugi shakes his head negatively.

"Damn." Yami stares down at the busted radio for a minute but doesn't push it away. He continues to tinker with it for a while.

Yami and Yugi sit in silence for a few minutes. In those few minutes Yami gives up on repairing the radio and Mariku runs past them being chased by island squirrels. Malik follows behind him humming a cheerful tune.

"Yugi, do you think we'll ever be rescued?" Yami asks. "I really don't think any of us will be able to handle being alone on this island for much longer and it hasn't even been a whole day."

Yugi shrugs and lays his head on Yami's shoulder. He figures that he's tormented his lover enough and can stop. "The others be wondering where we're at. Tristan and Serenity will probably drag Duke along to look for us."

Yami snorts and waves a hand at the crashing waves and the dark sky. "They wouldn't be stupid enough to go out in this weather." He informs his hikari.

A boat horn blares from somewhere out on the water and Yami and Yugi look out over it to see Duke, Serenity, and Tristan waving to them from a large coast guard boat. Nixx sits in the back with a blanket wrapped tightly around him.

Yami smacks his forehead with the palm of his hand. "I take it back." He mutters. "Our friends would be stupid enough to go out during a storm."

Yugi elbows him. "They came to rescue us so be nice."

Yami grudgingly agrees and then stands up with Yugi to go help guide the boat safely in.


Fifteen minutes later everyone is safely on the boat (except for Joey and Seto who are still missing) and Duke is explaining an unfortunate happening at the hotel.

"To make a long story short: we got kicked out." Duke says as his explanation. "And it's all Nixx's fault." He adds.

Mokuba glares at the raven-haired teen and pulls Nixx closer to him in a protective manner. "Don't blame Nixx for you guys getting kicked out!" He defends his boyfriend.

Nixx sticks his tongue out at Tristan and Duke. Mokuba chooses to not see him.

"Where's Joey?" Serenity asks worriedly. "Didn't he go with you guys?"

"Yeah, Seto's missing too." Mokuba remarks. "They went off into the woods a while back and we haven't heard a word from any of them since."

"BASTARD! DOG!" Mariku yells, only to be smacked by Malik.

"Shut up, Mariku." Malik hisses.

Mokuba jumps up and points at the trees. "There they are!" He shouts.

Everyone looks in the direction Mokuba is pointing to see Joey and Seto walking out of the woods hand-in-hand.

Yami's jaw drops. "I don't believe it." He mutters.

Bakura smirks. "Pay up, Mariku. Pharaoh." He orders, holding out a hand.

Mariku scowls and hands over two daggers and ten dollars while Yami hands over fifty dollars.

Bakura smirks and pockets his winnings. "Now we just have one more bet left." He looks meaningfully at Duke, Tristan, and Serenity.

"I'll beat you next time!" Mariku vows. "Believe it!" (2)

Malik groans. "That's it. You are so banned from watching TV anymore."

Mariku pouts. "But I like TV. Meanie hikari."

Seto and Joey soon join everyone on the boat and its not until they're well on their way to the main island that Duke explains to Seto that they've been kicked out of the hotel and off the island the hotel is on.

Seto swears he'll never, ever go on another road trip with the crazy group of people. No, not even if Joey and Mokuba both beg him to.

Three weeks later Seto finds himself driving an RV with the rest of the group in the back and a happy Joey by his side in the passenger seat eating raisins.


THE END
(1) (gasp) What's this? I finally managed to get Seto and Joey together? All right!

(2) (promptly shoots self) I don't particularly like the dubbed version of Naruto and that has to be one of the most annoying phrases ever. And the other reason I'm not watching the dubbed version any more? There's no way in hell I'm going through all those filler episodes again. No. Effing. Way.

Shiro: TA-DA!!! Look! Look! Finished in ONE week! One! Not two! One! WOO-HOO!!! Time to par-tay!

Damian: Party? I love parties!

Shiro: (runs out of the room, shouting) I'll go get the Pepsi's to celebrate!

Bast: ... it's not that great an accomplishment. Even if I am happy she finished it in such a short time. Anyway, while hikari-baka goes and drinks so many Pepsi's she'll never get to sleep tonight, I'm going to tell you about the sequel to this story. Yes, there's yet another sequel if you couldn't tell by the last line of this story. Prepare yourselves.

Not Another Road Trip!

Somehow, someway, Mokuba and Joey have managed to convince Seto to take them on another road trip. In an RV. With everyone. They soon learn that piling everyone in an RV isn't that much different than piling everyone in a van.
