Chapter Nine

After Akari's entrance and a little chitchat in the living room, Akari decided that she'd stay at a hotel nearby and that she's going to visit every now and then.


It's nine am and everyone's asleep in the living room. Bakura's asleep on the floor next to Ryou, Marik and his Yami were asleep on the stairs, Yugi fell asleep on a chair, Atem was holding Azuka in his arms on one of the couches and leaving Kate and Renzu on the other.

Ten minutes passed and the alarm clock began, which woke everyone up.

"HELL !" Bakura said as he smashed the clock in the wall.

"Well, it's useless to sleep now" Yugi sighed as he stood up to stretch.

" Good Morning everyone. I slept like a baby ." Marik yawned.

"Morning.." Yami Marik mumbled, still half asleep.

"Some night," Atem smiled at Azuka, whom was still asleep. "Oh Ra..she didn't wake up ?"

"Huh ? she can't be still asleep, can she ?" Renzu said as she sat up.

"YO ! AZU ! WAKE UP!" Kate yelled.

"Huh ?! wh-wha ?" Azuka said, opening her eyes. "Morning already ?" starts rubbing an eye.

"Wake up, sleepyhead !" Ryou smiled at Azuka and stood up.

"Marik, you fool ! Wake the friggin hell up !" Bakura said as he threw a rubber ball at Yami Marik.

"I'M UP ! I'M UP !" Yami Marik jumped, before he got hit. Renzu giggled at that, Bakura looked at her with a slight blush.


An hour later, everyone ate breakfast. Kate and Renzu went out to the mall along with Marik and Bakura and Ryou went to the supermarket.

"I'm ready !" Atem yelled from downstairs.

"Hold your horses !" Azuka said as she rushed down the stairs.

Yugi sighed, "can you two keep it down, please ?" he said as he held his head.

"Sorry, aibou. I promise, we'll be back with that medicine soon." Atem said as he opened the door for Azuka.

Azuka walked out and Atem followed her to the Pharmacy.


"I'll wait for you out here" Atem smiled as he leaned on the wall. Azuka nodded and walked inside.

"NO WAY !" said a female voice , this made Atem jump in surprise.

"E-excuse me ?" Atem said, taking a good look at the female. 'She looks familiar….oh ra…I know her' he thought.

"Don't tell me that you forgot about me ! I'm Viv !" the female said.

"Oh yes..Vivian Wong, I presume ?" she said with an annoyed tone.

"You remember me, Atem !" she smiled widely. "So ! how's my pal doing ?!"

'Your pal ?' he thought. "I'm doing fine but what brings you to Domino ?" he asked.

"Just vacation !" Vivian smiled. "But," she got closer to him."I've been looking for a lover too." She said.

Atem realized what she was doing and pushed her away slowly, "Nice try, Vivian. I'm taken"

"Oh ? By who ?!" she gave a frown.

"Azuka." He leaned back again.

'That little mutt. I'll show her ! no one should get the king of games except for me !' she thought. "Really ?" her expression turned to a smile. "Where is she ?"

"Buying some pills for Yugi. He has a headache." He explained.

Just then Azuka walked outside, "Hey, Yami, I think I have-" she paused as she saw Vivian standing. "Oh. Hi, Viv" she smiled.

"Hello there, sugar !" Vivian smiled, "Been a long time"

"It has, hasn't it ?" Azuka smiled as she walked to Atem.

"Well, I guess we should get going" Atem said," wouldn't want to keep Yugi waiting" he said, taking Azuka's hand. Azuka smiled with a slight blush.

"See ya later, Vivian !" Azuka waved as she walked away with Atem.

Vivian smirked, 'Don't worry, darling. You'll see me again.' She thought.

Author's note : Yeah, I know it's too short but I didn't have any ideas for the moment and I wanted a cliffhanger so badly xD
