Identities- that big 'ole bottle and a bigger surprise
*authoress's note. People's I am sooooooo sorry! Disclaimer had been forgotten for the past few times so I make it up right here. In the chapters before this and the chapters ahead and this one now, I do not own Yu-gi-oh ok? Thank you! And sorry if the last chapter or this one has too much fluff but I had to get to it. I just really wanted to get things started you know? More action to come. Surprises? Nah, not really. Not yet anyway ^_^ Mokuba comes along at the end with a certain someone you;ve already met. Oh yes and sorry if things are going to quickly. Slower maybe? Nah!
(Nimu caught the white hared boy's embarrassed glance and inwardly sighed)
Nimu /Azriel, look at this. My own assignment has gotten a Boom on me./
Azriel //a crush as said nowadays?//
Nimu /yes. This is great, just great./
Azriel //yeah so? Just ignore it.//
Nimu /do you know how annoying it is to have a guy stare at you all the time?/
Azriel //aren't you supposed to like it? When I was a mortal, I remember that one time I teased the pharaoh's guard. Kantum. Cute fellow, but stupidly loyal to HIM//
Nimu /well I can't say from what I hear that this pharaoh is a good guy but Yugi's a nice kid./
Azriel: ///Have you forgotten what happened to him later on? When he is older? When the chaos begins?//
Nimu /no, I recall the articles. It's so sad. I mean, sure he would have been long dead in my home time but still, so young?/
Azriel //Time really doesn't care. Neither do the duel monsters. And keep in mind rule number thirty.//
Nimu /duh Az, like I'd really like a guy like him./
Azriel //(chuckling) I don't know. He's a pretty nice catch if I do say so myself. And if past memories proceed me, the Thief of the ring wasn't so bad either.//
Nimu / but don't they look exactly alike?/
Azriel //your point?//
Nimu /(sigh) no more guy talk Az. I don't think I can take any more of this and that damn romance movie that Tea has on./
Azriel: //at least this helps along with the plan. It wouldn't be suspicious if you were to say, snatch the package while everyone was in the kitchen or something during a friendly visit.//
Nimu /yeah sure. Just let me do this alone. They'd start to suspect something if you came out of your puzzle frequently./
Azriel //but the pha....//
Nimu /the pharaoh comes out yes, but yugi's friends don't know that he's another person. Maybe they can sense the change but they don't know it./
Azriel //alright, I'll agree with you this time.//
Nimu /don't you always?/
Tea: nimu?
Nimu: huh?
Tea: I asked you if you thought that movie was totally cool.
Nimu: oh yeah! Totally. (nods head enthusiastically)
Yugi: Guess we have a few more movies to go.
Tristin: I have a better idea.
Joey: eh? What is it Tristin?
Tristin (evil smile) spin the bottle
Yugi: gah!
Tea: s-s-spin the bottle?
Bakura: spin the bottle?
Tristin: spin the bottle.
Nimu: er....i don't....
Joey: nah there aren't enough people.
Trsitin: sure there are.
Nimu /this is NOT what I expected to happen./
Azriel //guess living in the future means you don't know everything.//
Nimu /this can't be happening./
Tristin (pulls out the bottle) you all know the rules. The chosen pair goes into the closet and (puckers his lips) smootches.
Tea: do we have to?
Tristin: guys, we're teenagers now. Reckless, suave, cool.
Tea: well...
Joey (winks at nimu) I'm in! Yugi, Bakura?
Yugi: er.....
Yami //what is the objective of this game?//
Yugi /well, see that bottle Tristin's holding?/
Yami //yes//
Yugi /everyone sits in a circle and someone has to spin the bottle. Then...they have to go into the closet and kiss whoever it points at./
Yami //kiss? And you wish to do this?//
Yugi /well no..../
Yami //you are a man yugi.//
Yugi /er.....i don't know./
Yami //the choice is yours.//
Yugi (nods uncomfortably) alright.
Bakura: I suppose so.
Tristin: nimu?
Nimu: well fine. I'll give it a go. oh god why did I say that?
Tristin (grinning In the darkness, they all sit down, moving the table out of the way first. He fiddles with the bottle then places it gently on the ground) I'll spin first. (spins it.)
(the glass bottle goes around and around, looking like it would never stop until finally it looked like it would stop at Nimu....)
Tristin yes!
(and landed instead pointing to Joey beside her)
Tristin: Ayah!
Joey: noooooo!
Tea: rules are rules.
Joey: nooooooo!!!!
Tristin: noooooooo!!!
Tea (growls) now go!
(they drag themselves into the closet, slam the door shut and seconds later appear again spitting and cursing at one another)
Tea: your turn Joey!
Joey (still grumbling he spins it)
(and who does it land on? Tristin!)
Joey: you have to be kidding..
(again they go to the closet and come out spitting and cursing. Scooting far far away form each other. Tea giggles and gives the nottle a spin. It whirled quickly before stopping at Yugi)
Yugi why me?
Tea (still giggling) yugi!
Yugi: please....
Tea (drags him by the collar) come on yugi!
Yugi (gazing pleadingly at them all) help...
(they all wait for them to come back from the closet but it takes a while. Tea finally emerges looking pleased and Yugi comes out as red as a killer tomato and panting)
Yugi: can't breathe...
Tristin: geez Yugi, how long did she kiss you?
Yugi: couldn't tell, too long....
Tea: your turn yugi.
Yugi (gulps spinning the bottle. It lands on nimu, who smiles a timid smile)
Nimu: come on. Only a second yugi. It's not a date or anything, and we've only just met.
Yugi: right.....
(he follows her to the closet and shuts the door behind him. Winking she picked his hand up and kissed it)
Nimu: they didn't say it had to be on the mouth did it?
Yugi (shakes head relieved) thanks Nimu
Nimu: this is between you and me. Ok?
Yugi: ok.
(They rejoin the others. Going back to their seats. Nimu waves a hand impatiently)
Nimu: I don't want to spin. You go Bakura.
Bakura: me?
Nimu: that's what I said.
Bakura I'll get Joey of Tea. I'm sure of it. Something unpleasant anyway.
(with one last sigh, he turned the bottle and closed his eyes. Already he could see Tea right there next to him, kissing him hard. Or maybe she wouldn't. She did seem overly found of Yugi. Bakura opened his eyes in time to see the glass shape shudder to a stop at....Nimu)
Nimu: oh, Bakura. Well onto the closet I guess.
Bakura (nods) er....right....
(as soon as the closet door closed, she raised an eyebrow.)
Nimu: one quick thing ok? Don't even think of going longer.
Bakura: I won't! I'd never do that. Not unless they wanted and I know you don't
Nimu: good then let's get this thing over with.
Bakura: right....
(Nimu leaned over, as did Bakura. He felt the same feeling he had with the popcorn incident, like the vision there was that light butterfly kiss. Yet still was the unbearably cold shock flowing through his body. Both warm and cold at once, and he expected her to withdraw then and there but.....she didn't. Their lips were still together when in a moment she pulled away quickly)
Nimu: Jerk! I told you not to do that! (stomps out of the closet)
Bakura (softly) but I didn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEXT DAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey: will I ever get that nasty taste out of my mouth?
Yugi: I don't think I'm ever going to forget that
Yami //Tea....is...ack. very...strong...//
Yugi: you said it.
Joey: said what?
Tristin: yo, Joey, got any more mouth wash?
Joey: no I used it all already. I need some more....
Tristin: YOU need some more?!
Joey: Tristin, you know how disgusting that was?
Tristin: no, I don't how?
Bakura: guys.....
Joey: stay outta this Bakura.
Bakura (sigh)
Tristin: gee, maybe it's because I'm sucha mindless idiot. Oh wait, that's you Joey.
Joey: Why I outta.....! (punches him and them land crash into Bakura, knocking him and pinning him o the ground)
Bakura: (swears)
Tristin: wow Bakura I never knew you had it in you.
Bakura (flushes) I didn't say any of that
Joey: yes you did.
Bakura: well would you please get off me.
Tristin: sorry....
Joey: sorry.
Yugi: that was only last night. Just try not to fight so much guys.
Bakura /so yami, I thought you said a few days ago if I let you watch Yami reveal Nimu you'd actually be nice to me for a day./
Y B //how the h--- did you remember that?//
Bakura /just came to me./ (well, it did. Even as he had dropped onto the couch at the apartment, Nimu's face was still fresh in his mind, even more so was the kiss.)
Y B //(sigh) and you believed me? Hah! Mortal fool. And stop thinking about that girl.//
Bakura /I wasn't...../
Y B //don't lie. I do the lying here understand?//
Bakura: /oy bay./
(The gang was at the park again, hanging out with really nothing to do. Tea pocketed her new cell phone fondly. Glancing around at everyone.)
Tea: so what do we do today?
Yugi (shrugs) I don't know. Anyone else?
Tristin: beat up Joey? Hah, just kiddin man.
Joey: try to get Bakura to swear again?
All: O_O.......
Mokuba: or how about playing with me?
All: Mokuba?!
(it was indeed the young kaiba brother was racing towards them, waving enthusiastically . He was the same as last time they saw him, maybe a little older looking but still his youthful age.)
Yugi: Mokuba! What are you doing here?!
Mokuba: I went to the game shop and your grandpa told me you'd be here.
Yugi (nods) it's great to see you!
Mokuba: you too yugi. I missed you guys.
Tea: hi mokuba.
Bakura: hello there.
Tristin: hey dude
Joey: hey!
Yugi: so what brings you here Mokuba?
Mokuba: well, big brother is in on some business for kiaba corperations, just before the tournament and I felt like visiting my friends.
Tea: it's so great to see you again! (squints behind him) who's that?
Mokuba: hmm? Oh! That's my friend Tohiro. Tohiro! Over here!
Tohiro (ambles over towards them slowly, a dog guiding his path)
Tea: is he...?
Mokuba: tired? Nah! He's really cool.
Tea: no I meant....he's blind?
Mokuba: sure but I don't care.
(Yugi cocked his head, trying to figure something out. Tohiro looked familiar, somehow, but he wasn;t sure how exactly. He;d never seen the blank blue eyes of the boy, nor his green hair or maybe her had. He was Mokuba's age and it wasn;t until a glint of sun light bouncing off something gold in his back pack that Yugi found his answer. Actually Yami did that)
Yami: //it's...// (millenium puzzle glows)
Yami: Kantum!
