Chapter 3: Going Out - Japanese Style
In the kitchen, Yugi was busy fixing dinner and Yami was looking through a cook book at all the different kinds of food, drinks, and desserts that Japan had to offer. The elder was still thumbing through the oddly shaped book (it was in the shape of a wok) when a strange type of dish caught his eye.
"Yugi, what on the Pharaoh's throne is this!?!?!?..."
"Well, from over here it look's like sushi, but it could be something else."
"No, you're right, it says so right here. 'Sushi - a style of Japanese dish that usually involves rice, as well as meat or vegetables, rolled into a cylinder shape. Some forms of sushi are cooked where as others are served raw. Depending on how the sushi is cooked and what it is made up of, determines what...'"
"Yeah, yeah, is it any good?"
"Well," Yugi concluded, "personally I don't think its all that great but it's ok. We could try some if you'd like. Even though this is almost ready, I could put it into the refrigerator for later to reheat."
"Let me get my coat," Yami said, already beginning the trek down the hall. "I'll only be a second."
When he got to his room to look for his coat, he noticed an ad in a magazine. It looked perfect for Yugi's birthday coming up in several days. The used-to-be king carefully tore the article on ancient Egyptian reproductions away from its source. He quickly found his coat and hurried out the door to follow Yugi.
He heard his mate starting the engine to their vehicle, a new type of off-road type of thing that Seto had give them to test out. Yami had insisted though that he test it out first to make sure there wasn't anything hidden that Seto might use to try and get to Yugi, for the Pharaoh still believed that he had a grudge against his Prince. Yugi didn't completely trust Yami on this, for he had always thought though that Yami had just wanted to be the first one to drive the K.K. 2003 (the Kaiba King 2003 - leave it to Seto and his egotistical self.)
In the back of his mind, as Yugi tore out of the driveway, Yami thought, "I hope I have enough time to prepare for this. Not only is it going to be my koi's birthday, but hopefully it will become our anniversary from now on..."
