I owneth nothing-ith
The clock struck 3 A.M., and the teenagers were still as lively as ever. They all (except Seto who decided to go check on Mokuba an hour ago. Everyone guessed he just locked himself in the bathroom with his laptop) stood in a circle on the floor, the tables and chairs now being pushed out of the way to give them room. The game they were playing was some sort of strip verbal word game. It had been Bakura's idea (of course).
Yugi stood completely clothed, word games were his forte. Yami and Bakura, and Ryou were shirtless, while Malik and Marik stood grinning in their boxers. Ryou doubted they were trying very hard. Joey was pestering Kaiba through the bathroom door.
"Hmm…I'm afraid I don't know the word! I guess I'm gunna have to-" Malik sneered, but was cut off by Yami.
"Okay okay okay, game over guys." Yami shook his head and reached for his shirt.
"Aaaawwww, come on Pharaoh!" Malik pouted.
"Nope, I agree game over." Ryou searched the couch for his shirt but failed to find it. "Where is my-"
"Looking for this?" Bakura held what was the borrowed shirt in his hands.
"Bakura…." Ryou glared. "Give me the shirt."
"No." Bakura grinned.
"Give it back!" Ryou made a jump for it, but Bakura towered over him.
"Hehe, jump little light, jump!" He snickered as Ryou grew flustered.
"Aww, come on Bakura, give him the shirt back." Marik punched his arm.
"You can't tell me what to do." Bakura said in monotone as he continued to lower and raise the shirt like playing with a cat.
"Yes I can, now give it back to him."
"Yeah, yami im cold!" Ryou crossed his arms and frowned.
"Fine then. Make me you stupid Egyptian gay-tard." Bakura sneered.
"Hey!" Malik stood up from his chair. "You better watch your mouth glow-stick!" He spat the last word and went nose to nose with Bakura.
Suddenly a sheering pain came over Bakura and Malik.
"What the hell!" Bakura held his head in pain.
Yugi stood with a giant frying pan in his hand.
"What was that for!"
"I'm done with your fighting!" Yugi said. "Now Bakura, give the shirt back. Malik, go sit down."
"You can't make me-" They both began, but Yugi raised the frying pan, and the duo scattered.
Ryou stood with his arms crossed looking out the window, when something was pulled over his head. He popped his head out and looked up to see Bakuras unhappy face above him. Ryou softly pulled his arms through the sweatshirt and turned around.
"Damn…that kid can hit hard…" He mumbled to himself.
Across the room Yami was smirking with an extremely satisfied glint in his eye.
"Here, lemmie see," Ryou went on his tip toes trying to get a look.
"No! I'm fine!" Bakura snarled.
"Baka," Ryou pulled on the larger's hair, bringing his forehead into eyelevel.
"Ow ow ow ow let go!" Bakura yelled.
Ryou ran his fingers over the large bump over his head. He brushed his fingers over the rest of his forehead making sure there were no other injuries.
"You're fine," Ryou released his infant grip on the yami's hair. "It's just a bump." Ryou tapped the little purple bruise on his forehead, and Bakura yelped.
Bakura gave Ryou a strange look and promptly walked away. Ryou smiled and followed behind.
-meep meep-
"Uugh its 3:30," Ryou yawned.
"Wake up man, is' not even that late." Marik sipped a cup of coffee.
Suddenly Kaiba walked into the room.
"Well well well, look who finally cam' out of 'is bat cave!" Joey laughed.
Kaiba rolled his eyes and sat at the barstool. "And apparently I missed nothing."
"Eh, not really," Malik and Bakura shared a look.
"We're trying to think of something to do…." Yugi tapped the countertop.
"Aren't we always?" Ryou asked.
After a bit of silence, Kaiba cleared his throat.
"Well, I have something you might uh, be able to entertain yourselves with."
"What? Kaibas got n' idea!" Joey laughed.
Seto glared and looked at the waiting eyes, "Its something Mokuba and I used to play. It's called zombie tag…"
"Ah! I love that game!" Yugi said.
"Yes, I should have thought of that…." Marik agreed.
"What is 'zombie tag?'" Yami tipped his head slightly to the side with interest.
"You see," Yugi turned to the Yami's who had no clue what the game was. "One person is the zombie, and everyone goes and hides in the neighborhood. When the zombie gets you, you turn into a zombie yourself. Whoever is the last person to be turned into a zombie wins!"
"Cool….zombies." Malik grinned.
"Wait," Bakura asked. "Once you are found are you allowed to run?"
"Yep!" Marik said. "You're only a zombie if he touches you."
"Cool, les' play!" Joey said excitedly.
Everyone started walking out the front door, when….
"Kaiba you're playing."
"DAMNIT."
-le meep-
"Okay, so who's the zombie?" Yami asked.
"OH me me me!" Joey jumped up and down.
"Okay Joey. Count to 100 and then go look for people." Yugi commanded. Joey covered his eyes and did so, while everyone else took off.
"Yugi! Come with me!" Yami said, and grabbed his wrist. "O-okay…" They dashed off down a random street hidden in the night.
"Hikariiiiii! Lets go hide together!" Malik said and took off. "Come on!" Marik laughed and quickly sprinted after him.
Seto looked to see where everyone was running, and then jogged in the opposite direction.
"U-um, Bakura…" Ryou squinted in the darkness, but his yami had already abandoned him. Ryou shivered and ran, taking random turns getting lost in the huge neighborhood.
-with yami and yugi-
"Here aibou! This looks good." The pharaoh came apon a neighborhood park.
"Yes! But we need a place that isn't obvious…" Yugi scanned the small park.
"In here Yugi." Yami whispered, and motioned to a small sheltering underneath the playground. Yugi crawled into the cramped space, and huddled to himself.
"Come over here, there's more room." Yami motioned. Yugi nodded and scotched over. They fell silent listening for any sign of 'zombies'.
-with marik and malik-
"Hikari faster!" Malik motioned.
"I can't go any faster!" Marik gasped for breath. Suddenly he saw a house that said "for sale"
"That's what she said!" Malik called back. Marik rolled his eyes. Suddenly he halted and looked at a large home.
"Malik! This house is empty, let's hide in the backyard."
"Good idea," Malik nodded. He boosted Marik over the wall, and they crouched behind the gate so they could see if anyone was coming their way.
-with seto-
Seto walked calmly throughout the community looking for a good place to hide and rest. His eyes laid apon a metal covering over a parking lot in a park. This will do… seto said to himself and made a move for the shelter. Suddenly he heard footsteps. He spun around to see a panting figure.
Seto froze and stared at the figure. The person screamed, "A-are you a zombie!"
Seto sighed and climbed the shelter, "No Ryou. Now be quiet or you'll be found."
He heard running and the boy was gone. Kaiba shook his head and lay out on the shelter.
-with ryou-
Ryous heart was going a million miles per hour after his encounter with Kaiba. He was absolutely terrified of the dark. He had never played zombie tag at night. He surely couldn't hide with Kaiba, so he just kept searching for a sufficient spot to hide and possibly cry.
Why did his yami abandon him? Everyone else's didn't….why did he get such a lousy darkness.
He let out a sigh that sounded a bit like a sob. He looked up at the moon and continued walking.
His heart stopped again when he heard a familiar accent, "Aha! Found ya'!"
Ryou spun around, and took off as fast as his legs could carry him. He knew he couldn't outrun Joey.
Ryou sprinted around the corner as he heard the footsteps getting closer. He slammed his eyes shut and screamed "Bakura save me!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt himself be lifted off the ground. He let out a scream, but his mouth was covered by another hand. He looked down to see himself slung over Bakura's shoulder, who was tearing down the road. Bakura was obviously much quicker than Joey, and the Brooklyn accent was soon left in the darkness.
"Huh…..i wonder what that was 'bout…" Joey shook his head and went off in search of his friends. Particularly Kaiba 'cause he wanted to rub the fact that he was faster than him in his face.
-meeeeep-
Bakura jumped a wall, and lifted a shaking Ryou onto a rooftop of a home.
Ryou was wide eyed and stared as Bakura took a seat next to him.
"Th-thank yo-"
"Yeah whatever."
He shuffled closer to Bakura and looked out over the community. Maybe the dark wasn't so bad.
-with yugi and yami-
The two still squished together were whispering and giggling. Yami suddenly slung a hand over Yugi's mouth, and sat listening. It was dead silence. Yugi's heart quickened and looked out from their cave like structure. Suddenly a head popped in front of them,
"Surprise!"
Yugi screamed, and Yami pushed the smaller out of the cave.
"Yugi run!"
"Yami!"
Joey tagged Yami before he could get out of the shelter.
Joey laughed, "Now you're on m' team!"
Yugi turned and ran down the street.
"Okay, I'll go after Yugi. You go find the others."
Yami nodded sadly and ran in the opposite direction that Yugi ran in.
-with marik and malik-
"Hahahhahaaha-" Marik put a hand over his yami's mouth.
"Shh, don't laugh so loud."
"But it was funny!"
"Yeah, I guess I am pretty hilarious!"
They both froze when they heard screaming. Yugi was running down the street as fast as his little legs could take him, and Joey was sprinting after him.
"Joeeeey nooo!"
"Gotcha!"
"AGHHH DARNIT."
"Hahahah, you're a zombie now. Go help Yami fin' Marik and Malik. I'll look for Kaiba…."
Marik and Malik shared a look and pressed against the wall.
-with seto-
Kaiba sat bored, looking at the stars. A few minutes ago he heard Yugi and Yami find each other and go search. Yugi was making zombie noises, causing the Pharaoh to laugh, so he guessed they had been caught. They walked right past him, so he estimated he was fine and didn't need to change hiding spots.
-with joey-
Where is that prick….. Joey searched. He knew his hiding spot would be good. He came upon the park for a third time. He decided to stand back and scan one last time.
Abruptly his eyes fell on a tuff of hair on an overhang at a parking spot. He squinted and saw a long leg dangling off of the other side. Joey smirked and moved extremely slowly towards the overhang.
-with seto-
Kaiba felt himself drifting to sleep, when unexpectedly; he felt a shift in the metal he was on. His eyes shot open and he sat up, seeing a face two inches from his. He jumped backwards, but Joey had a handful of his shirt.
"Gotcha."
-with yami and yugi-
"Hehehehe shh, Yami. Were supposed to be looking for Marik and Malik!" Yugi said, trying to escape the pharaoh who was tickling him senselessly.
"Okay okay…." Yami stood back and suddenly stopped. "Hey… do you hear that?"
-with seto and joey-
The duo walked in silence, listening for any noise. Joey stopped and stared forward. Kaiba also stopped and looked at the smaller. "What mutt?"
"Ove' there." Joey pointed at figures moving in the distance. Seto squinted, but relaxed when he saw four figures talking loudly and messing around.
"We got found!" Marik laughed. "Who knew!" Malik grabbed Yami around the shoulder. "This guy has good hearing."
"Awesome!" Joey laughed.
"Now for the hard duo…." Seto said.
"Hard duo?" Yami questioned.
"Yeah I thought they went separately?" Malik asked.
Yugis eyes widened in panic. Ryou's afraid of the dark!
"Yeah… I heard Joey take off after Ryou, and Bakura saved the kid at the last second."
"Okay, so that makes it easier. Find Ryou and we find Bakura!" Marik said.
"Yes, but Bakura is a thief. He is an expert at hiding…" Yami glared.
"Alright, the' lets split up an' look for em. Leave no stone unturned!"
-with bakura and ryou-
Ryou found himself drifting off on Bakura's shoulder. Bakura was steadily breathing and constantly scanning for anyone coming their way.
Suddenly Bakura spoke, "I'm sorry Ryou."
Ryou bolted up, and looked at Bakura. "Did those words just come out of your mouth?" he deadpanned.
Bakura glared, and then looked away. "I know you are scared of the dark."
"Y-yeah… Well it's okay." Ryou smiled.
Bakura looked back and Ryou, then turned and continued scanning the area. Suddenly a deep voice made them freeze.
"Hey come quick! We found em!"
"Crap." Bakura said. He looked to see everyone surrounding the house.
"Run Bakura, if they get me you win!" Ryou smiled.
"Nope, we're both winning," Bakura said, and grabbed Ryou again.
"Ahh!"
Bakura suddenly skidded down the side of the house, passing the 'zombies'.
"Hey!"
"Get 'em!"
Bakura carried Ryou as fast as he could, and looked over his shoulder to see the group following closely behind.
Just as they were about to get away, a hand grabbed Bakura's coller, yanking him backwards.
"Got you."
With motion, Ryou fell out of his arms and rolled onto the ground. "Ah!"
Seto had a firm grip on a snarling Bakura.
Ryou sat up groaning in pain. His arm hurt like hell.
"Ryou!" Yugi panted. "You won!"
"I-I what?" Ryou asked.
"Good job Ryou! Who knew you would win…" Marik laughed.
"I-I only won because Bakura helped me…."
"Yeah speakin' of. Why did ya?" Joey asked.
"Well, I'm his Yami aren't i." Bakura pouted.
Ryou smiled brilliantly.
