Yugi: The most wonderful thing about tiggers
Ottawa: Is tiggers are wonderful things
Rye: *mumbles the next line while neck deep in reading Blood Rose*
Yami: Their bottoms are made out of springs.. aw crap. Same disclaimers and warnings apply
Seto had to admit he was impressed with how well Rye, Ottawa and Kia handled the meetings. They had sat there for nearly 7 hours straight, the three women working in tandem with one another. If Rye remained quiet it was Kia who answered and Ottawa who confirmed, or Kia was silent Ottawa answered and Rye confirmed. They cleared up the air, pointed out that they should stop fighting each other and focus on the enemies and get back what was stolen from them to begin with. A few weren't so willing to listen to three 'bitches' but quickly changed their tune when Ottawa took one of her potions and trounced them.
"Seto?" He looked back to see Joey walking up to him, the boy was dressed in animal skins fit for a woman, but Seto had to admit his puppy looked enticing. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Just curious as to how they work like this." He said looking down at the training area where Yami, after getting a new doll to possess, was showing Yugi how to fight as Rye stood a bit further away torturing her pack as Kia and Ottawa did the same with theirs.
"Do you think we can beat Tea with so few?"
"We can only hope, Joey..." Seto sighed, pulling him close and resting his head in his shoulder. "I really hope Yugi gets his wish in the end... It'd really suck if he got to be with his soulmate only for him to leave again."
"Yeah, Yami's a great guy, a bit quirky, but then again look at our group of friends."
"Not to mention the two women he works with." Seto smirked as Joey laughed a little. "Joey..."
He looked up and gasped as he was kissed softly by his lover, the kiss was very chaste and soft, but it left him dizzy and gasping for air when Seto pulled away.
"Promise me if anything happens you will take care of Mokuba for me."
"... You are not dying on me Seto Kaiba! You will not leave me alone and you will not leave me to fend for myself and our younger siblings! We are fighting together and we are winning! Or I'm dying with you! Don't you dare try and tell me what to do you pompous prick!"
Seto stared in shock for a second before smiling and nodding. They looked back at the field to see Rye throw a bottle at her fiends and a harsh wind began blowing filling the whole area in snow as she kept chanting.
"I noticed something..." Seto said suddenly.
"What?"
"Those potions, they have a time limit... about a minute each. You have 60 seconds to make it as powerful as you can and the more power you put in-"
"The more devastating the effect... You got a plan?"
"Yea. Get the others!" Seto said running over to Rye. "Hey! I got a plan!"
"Really?" Ottawa asked, walking over to him, her clothes looked darker than normal and her skin was paler.
"You okay Ottawa?" Seto asked noting the sudden change. Rye looked and quickly pulled her friend to her and wrapped an arm over her waist.
"She's fine... just give me a sec..." Rye said, passing power over to her to brighten up her skin, but her clothes were still dark. "Ottawa, you're not keeping track..."
"Shit."
"Are you sure you're fine?" Yami asked.
"Yes. Now what's the plan?" Ottawa asked changing the subject.
"Those potions they have a time limit right?"
"Yes a minute each. Why?" Rye asked.
"Think about it. We can use them like a domino effect, one after another, but we'll give them about 30 seconds in between so that way when one person's potion runs its course."
"The others will be able to cover for them as they recover or attack..." Ottawa finished. "But that's not going to work. We have a limited number and unless we can get to Rye's home somewhere back in Thebes, we don't have enough to make more."
"Then why are you using them?" Bakura growled, as the others joined them.
"Because these are older and have lost their potency over the years. They are good for training though."
"Then save the rest and use those as a distraction-"
"Rye." Dante walked up behind her and whispered in her ear and she sighed.
"Ottawa deal with this, work out a plan that doesn't involve us leaving ourselves open to an attack while using the potions. I'll see what's going on topside." Rye sighed.
"What?"
"Yea the potions leave you open to attack because you have to focus on it. Rye's the only one able to use a potion and keep moving. It's second nature to her. You're beginners, besides with the way things are going you won't need the potions. You can summon your own monsters to fight." Ottawa pointed out. "But I like the plan, only problem is, is that we are leaving ourselves open. And since Tea's out to kill Yugi, we can't risk that, can we?"
"Alright, so what do you suggest?" Seto asked.
I'm not sure yet." Ottawa answered truthfully. "I've been dividing my attention, so I'm not quite here, literally, in fact."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ryou asked nervously.
"Nothing you need to worry about, I hope." She sighed in reply. "Give me a little time to think about it and I should have something. You think about it as well, and watch out for Joey while you're at it, I've seen a couple of the more stupid fiends watching him."
"You think they'd try something, even with you around?" Joey asked.
"I didn't call them stupid for nothing." Ottawa said, chuckling harshly.
"I'll make sure they regret trying to touch my puppy if they do." Seto vowed. Joey snuggled up to him, happy that someone was taking care of him for once instead of him having to look out for everyone else, or himself. Ottawa smiled at the look on his face and went to speak with Yami and Yugi.
"How are you two holding up?" She asked.
"Okay." Yugi said, though his vivid eyes betrayed the fear for what was to come. She smiled and drew him into a soft hug. Yugi leaned into it, burying his face against her neck.
"You always were a cuddler." She murmured. "You two have the most to lose, don't you?"
"What about you and Rye?" Yami asked.
"Me and Rye will keep going on unless things get screwed up too bad." Ottawa replied. "Naw, it's you two I'm worried about. You're so close to having each other for the rest of your lives, the way you weren't able to before, it would just be cruel for that to be taken away."
"And that's why we fight." Yami said steadily.
"Exactly, that's why we fight, because there's so much in this life worth fighting for." Ottawa said, her eyes all the sudden darkening.
"Ottawa?" Yugi asked nervously. She blinked at him, frowning a little bit. "Your skin, you're going all pale, are you alright?"
She looked down at herself and cursed at the sight of nearly white skin. "Sorry, you guys, I'd better find Rye before this gets out of hand. Stay out of trouble."
"Ottawa, who are you, really?" Seto asked in exasperation. She smirked at him.
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."
Seto: When did the author notes become a sing-along?
Rye: Because we say so...
Ottawa: Doesn't matter!
Yugi: Review plz!
