Chapter 11: Trip to Sakura Gardens

***

The cat and Nari and Yugi and the others-

(Why didn't you just say everyone?)

Because I felt like it! They were all silent and staring at one another, well, at the cat at least. I mean, wouldn't you stare at a talking black cat with pretty blue eyes. (NT: Pretty, pretty, pretty ^_^)

[I'm getting sick of being called a cat.]

"Isn't that what you are?" Yugi asked with his head tilted to the side.

[No. This is just one of my forms.]

Yugi blinked with confusion along with the others who had blank faces. No one knew exactly what Billie was talking about. Billie sighed and took a deep breath ready to explain.

"It means that it can take different forms like me. My devil form and my human form and others that I don't feel like getting into." Nari explained.

Billie glared at the devil for taking her lines and bit Nari on the head. The devil began to run trying to get the cat off her head, as the others didn't seem to take notice.

"So it's like when Magi looks human?" Yugi asked.

"I guess." Yami replied while scratching his head in thought.

Magi watched as Nari ran back and forth with a crazy cat on her head. Nari, are you okay?

What does it look like?!?!?!

Magi shrugged and just kept on watching. You can feel the love in this group!

"You can?" Ryou asked making the narrator sigh about her job. (NT: Getting off track again. And here's the train!!! All aboard!!!!) Errrrr- right. Anyways, finally, Seto decided to stop this very entertaining yet getting nowhere show. He lifted the cat by the back of its neck- OW! Sorry! I mean, HER neck with ease as the cat was still in a frenzy. Seto sighed and splashed the cat slightly with water ticking her off enough to get her attention.

"That wasn't nice, Seto." Jou picked the cat up into his arms and started drying her with a dry towel as she held a half closed eye expression.

[Thank you.]

"No problem."

"Jou, you're talking to a cat." Seto pointed out.

"So? It's a cool cat and it talks. Why not talk back?"

[Exactly!]

Nari, who was currently all scratched up, stormed to the cat with a death sentence for it. "Who the hell are you and why the fuck are you here?" Nari's eyes narrowed even more somehow, so she looked like Brock from Pokemon (NT: Why doesn't he open his goddamn eyes?!?!?! ^_^) or like some closed eye...person.

(Great simile there.)

Shut it. Anyways, the cat looked straight back at Nari, narrowed blue eyes ready to scratch the devil's eyes out.

(Pleasant thought. Note to self, wear goggles.)

This reminds me of Taichi and Daisuke and Takato and Takuya. Errrrr- wrong anime.

(NT, where'd you get this narrator?!)

(NT: From a YY/Y fan club that had been caught trying to take pictures of the two bishies in bed.)

(...)

Uhhh, that's enough about me! Now, let's try to stay with the story. The narrator got nods from the cast and crew and continued.

"So, Cat, you gonna answer me?"

[I'm not Cat, you incompetent devil.]

Nari began to twitch from the insult, but calmed herself enough to stay sane.

[My name is Elnavinadolika Yunikalien VII. Billie for short.]

Everyone sweat dropped and one of the obvious questions were asked.

"How is that short?" Ryou asked innocently.

[It just is!!!]

Ryou hid behind his yami, who said yami glared at the black kitty.

[Sorry. I'm just stressed.]

"Stressed? From what? Stretching? Sleeping? Sitting around all day?" Nari asked earning another bite.

[Do you want me to make that a habit?]

Magi started wrapping Nari's hand and head with bandages. Nari began twitching and tried to calm herself down.

"So, Kitty, why are you here?" Yugi rubbed Billie's chin. The black cat was enjoying it so much, she didn't catch on to the 'Kitty' thing. When Yugi stopped scratching the raven-colored cat, Billie turned serious...I wonder what a cat looks like when serious. Like focused or something? Could I distract her with a mouse or catnip or something?

(Just get on with the story!!)

Oh, right.

[I am here for that foolish thing over there.] The cat raised her paw, pointing it at Nari.

"Why'd you come for me?"

"You make it sound like she wants to kill you." Ryou commented.

"She just might." Nari shot back.

[I am not here to kill you. I was sent here from the Underworld. You have been punished for interfering with a mortal's life in a good way.]

Nari's eyes widened and she groaned, leaning deep into the chair she was apparently now sitting in.

[You must return home to attend your trial.]

"I am not leaving!" Nari hissed at the cat. The irony. Anyways, Billie was getting angry from the disobedience.

[Are you telling me you would disobey our Master?]

"No, I'm just saying I'm not going back there!!!!"

[I will have to report this as a rebellion against Master.]

Nari and Billie stayed in eye contact for what seemed like an eternity, but was more along the lines of a minute or two. The tension between the two grew immensely as the silence was becoming awkward.

[Would you care to repeat those words?]

"I. Am. Not. Going. Back." Nari said calmly, which her narrow eyes.

[This is unacceptable!!!! I am to bring you back without question!! You are coming even if I have to force you!!!!!!!!!]

"You don't get it, do you?!?! I can't go!!!"

The black cat gave a look challenging the devil for a good reason.

I am cursed, dammit! I have to complete five tasks before my time is up!!! Nari sent a silent message to Billie, so the others wouldn't overhear.

Billie's eyes widened for a moment, but returned to their normal size. She looked as if in deep thoughts as all eyes were on her. The others wondered what had just happened, but stayed silent to see who made the next move sort of like a standoff.

After several minutes, Billie began licking her paw and cleaning herself. Everyone fell over to the ground with their legs sticking up otherwise known as an anime fall or whatever you like to call it. Billie blinked and sweat dropped.

[Sorry, cat habits. Can't stop doing that when in this form. Well, Nari, your case seems to have good reason, which I truly hate.] Billie growled slightly. [But I cannot do anything about it. Damn loopholes. However, I am to accompany you to make sure you don't forget what your purpose is.]

'Don't worry. I'll just have to do five freaking good deeds getting into even more trouble and then have to deal with not only Master, but my sister and a few other trials...what a fun life...' Nari thought to herself.

Magi noticed the distress on Nari and sighed, finishing his work on the devil's hand and part of her face. 'Poor Nari. Even as a devil she has so much to worry about.'

Yugi tugged on his oneechan's sleeve. Nari looked down at the bundle of innocence and smiled sweetly.

'Nari?'

(Yes, Yugi?)

'What just happened? Is everything okay?'

(Of course. Everything's fine. So, where do you want to go today?)

'Hmmmm... where to head today?'

(How about the Sakura Gardens?)

(NT: I think I'm running out of places and names for that matter.)

'Sakura gardens?'

(Yeah, they should be blossoming in this time of the year.)

'Okay, oneechan!!!' Yugi glomped at Nari's waist causing the devil to smile. Magi smiled along even though he didn't hear their conversation, but seeing Nari smile is always pleasant, devil or not.

"We're going to the Sakura Gardens!!!" Yugi announced. Ryou smiled brightly since he loved flowers. Bakura smiled along seeing the excitement in his hikari's face. Yami held his hand out to Yugi, which the small boy grabbed a hold off and started walking. Seto and Jou walked casually out without sighing first not really wanting to see a bunch of plants.

"We see plenty of flowers and trees. Why pay to look at more?" Jou whined to no one in particular, just hoping someone will agree and they would go somewhere more fun.

"Give it up. Yugi wants to, so we have to."

Jou sighed and walked beside Seto. Every time the two bumped, a light pink tint would spread across their face and mumbles of apologizes escaped their lips.

Aren't you coming, Nari? Magi asked the devil.

In a minute.

Okay. Magi headed out the doors after the others.

Nari turned to the remaining black cat with those big blue eyes. "So, are you coming?"

[I have to] Billie said with slight disgust.

"Well, maybe you should not be a talking cat."

Billie glared at the devil, then agreed silently. She closed her eyes and a purple smoke covered her, but when the smoke cleared, Billie was still the cute wittle cuddly kitty!!!!!

(NT: *blinks* That was...strange.)

"Errrr- Billie, you're still a cat."

[Thanks for pointing at the obvious. Next you'll be telling me I'm black.]

"You have blue eyes."

[Devils...] Nari smiled slightly and waited for her. Billie tried a second attempt, but it was no use. She was stuck a raven-colored cat.

"What's wrong?"

[I'm still a cat, maybe!]

Nari sighed and lifted Billie in her arms.

[What are you doing?!]

"Now who's asking the obvious? I'm carrying you, what does it look like?"

[Put me down this instant!]

"You might as well enjoy the ride. You're going to be stuck like that for a while."

[How would you know?!]

"Because my sister is plotting."

This confused Billie, but the cat let it go. She didn't feel like arguing anymore. Satisfied, Nari caught up to the others and they all got in the RV. Bakura was in the driver's seat again with Ryou beside him who was nice and buckled. Seto was listening to Jou whine, until the blonde feel asleep in about ten minutes into the ride. Yami and Yugi were playing Duel Monsters, while Magi was listening to some music on Yugi's CD player. And Nari was twitching from being bugged by Billie, who seemed to enjoy annoying the little devil.

(What was that?!?!)

I meant, the plain devil who is not little or big, but somewhere in the middle.

(Thank you.)

The gang made it to the garden entrance with luckily only hitting one stop sign. They paid for their tickets and began to walk on the path.

"My driving is getting better." Bakura said. Ryou, who was still not use to his yami's driving, leaned into his taller version. "Are you okay, hikari?"

"I don't feel so good." The two white-haired boys sat on a nearby bench. Ryou laid his head on Bakura's chest, as the darker half rubbed the sick boy's back for comfort. The rest of the gang kept walking.

Yugi, Yami, Seto and Jou began to take pictures of each other and group pictures. They stopped many times, so Magi, Nari and Billie went on ahead.

"Would you get off of me already? I'm not your bed." Nari scowled at Billie who was riding on her head.

[...Too.... comfy...] Billie closed her eyes. Nari sighed and Magi smiled at the two. Nari did look rather silly with a black cat in her hair. Billie sort of blended in, so every time the cat opened her eyes, it would look like Nari had put in mini flashlights in her hair.

"She will never move, will she?" Nari asked the magician.

"Nope." Nari sighed deeply. "What are the five tasks you have to do?"

"Let's see." Nari opened up her list. "The first one is get the most stubborn pair together."

Nari and Magi stayed quiet trying to figure out what the hell that meant. Billie opened one eye and stretched.

"Ow! Watch it up there! That is my head!!"

[Oops, sorry 'bout my claws.]

"Geez, the least you could do is be careful up there."

Billie hopped down from her high bed and to Nari's lap.

"What are you doing?"

Ignoring the devil's comment, she started to read number 1 on Nari's list.

[That's not -so- hard.]

"Elaborate."

[Eh?]

"Explain!"

[I know what it means. It just sounds funny from a devil.]

"What? We're not smart enough for such a word?"

[Precisely.]

Nari was about to attack the cat, until Magi restrained her from doing anything lethal.

Nari, calm down. She can help us. Please, don't fight

Magi gave the devil a look that was very similar to Yugi's puppy eyed one. Nari sighed knowing she could never resist the look.

Fine...

Magi smiled and pulled Nari into him. Nari rested her head on his shoulder and watched the cat silently who was rambling on about devils and their stupidity.

"Billie? Are you going to tell us something useful?"

Billie gave a half glare look, but ignored that question. [This is obviously a list for you especially, so the people who are in the task must be people you know.]

Nari thought for a while and came up with it. She gave an awkward smile, but then realized the truth. "Seto and Jou..."

[Bingo!]

"Well, that's an odd pair, but I guess I can see that." Magi commented.

"So, I have to put them together, but I thought I wasn't supposed to interfere with a mortal's life, especially love life."

[Well, you aren't according to the Underworld's rules.]

"So it's either break a rule or disappear of the face of this whole existence. And if I keep breaking rules, I -will- be gone from the face of this whole existence. Great choices." Nari sighed, leaning deeper into the bench and Magi's side. The Dark Magician rubbed the devil's shoulder hoping to provide some comfort.

[Pretty screwed up life, errrr- after life you got here. And now that I think about it, I remember reading your records of your life and that wasn't all that great-]

Nari stepped on the cat angrily. "Why are you going through my personal information?!?!"

[Stop it! Help me!! Animal abuse!!!!!!!]

Nari lifted her foot letting the cat go. She sighed and flopped back onto the bench. "I am completely screwed. Well, I can at least leave a mark before I am completely gone." With that, the devil stood up with Magi and Billie behind her.

"I can't believe I have to play Cupid. I hate Cupid! He is so lame and always talks about that love shit."

"There's Seto and Jou." Magi whispered as the trio hid behind a bush.

"There's a freakin leaf in my hair."

[At least you don't have flowers sticking to you like magnets.]

"How do we do this?" Nari asked.

[........ no idea.]

"I have no clue."

"I'm doomed."

What do you expect from a Duel Monster, a devil and a talking black cat to do with love problems? They aren't exactly the best ones for the job, but we'll see how they do. Next time, though!
