A Trip to Remember
By Snare-chan
Notes: Meep, sort of short no? oO;; Sorry for the long wait, I'll make a note not to do it again. I admit I rushed during this cause I wanted to get it out so it's not as good as I can do but eh...I'll just have to redo it in the future. Thank you ALL for reviewing, it's nice to know people are enjoying the story so far. Hopefully I can get more kick ash action in here! ^^V

How could the other be so CALM?
Yugi gritted his teeth. Back and forth, back and forth, back and crack. Yugi winced, his teeth having grinded so hard he'd done something. He rubbed his jaw absently, still glaring at the side of Bakura's head. He was just sitting there, eyes closed and listening to his CD player. While he, Yugi Mouto, was suffering from flying.
His stomach was churning, his head growing wary and not to mention his hands were sweating rivers. He couldn't even grip the seat rests right anymore for his palms slid right off. So he voted to holding the puzzle instead. It calmed him a little, how it's smooth, firm surface was cool beneath his shaky fingers.
//Try thinking of something OTHER then the plane.//
/Yeah...ok.../
Yugi CALMLY tried to think of something else. He thought of home, before he'd gone on this trip, anything! He closed his eyes slowly, leaning back in his seat. He wondered slightly how everyone else was gonna be this summer. Tea had told him that she was going to a Dance Camp this summer break, to continue her dream of becoming a dancer. She should be on the bus there already, he supposed. Tristan was in the states attending a funeral today, or so he thought. He wasn't sure really since Tristan had rushed off so quickly and left a scribbled note in his...not so legible handwriting.
This train of thought slowly led him into a peaceful slumber for the rest of the ride.

When they arrived Yugi was jolted awake, the landing not as smooth as he would have liked. He shifted, wanting so badly to get off. It'd been so long it seemed since his feet had last touched ground. Yami too, seemed to agree with him. Grabbing his handbag he joined Joey and Bakura in getting off the plane. Yugi had to admit he was in a bit of a hurry, but could one really blame him?
It was bliss as he saw the earth once more. He had to resist kissing the sand with his lips he was so happy. Then the heat set in. It was blistering, almost choking in its thickness. It made all three men glad they had packed tropical.
"It says here the inn is...that way, down this street." Yugi instructed after getting his luggage. The town they were in was small, at least in comparison to his town. Everything was tightly packed, even the streets were crowded immensely. Carts of fresh fruit and items littered the place, everyone there trying to make a good sale or buy. None of them there could resist, really. Joey, as hungry as he always seemed to be, bought much of the native foods there for himself. Yugi and Bakura just seemed to browse. Yugi was interested in gifts for the others who couldn't come, while Bakura got something for his father. As Yugi was buying his things he noted something strange on the wall. It looked like the Sennen Eye on his puzzle, and though he had expected it, it was still strange.
//Many people have it for protection.//
/But on the wall Yami? That seems a bit strange.../
//Perhaps.//
Yugi started back to the cashier and thanked him as he was handed back his things.
"Hey Bakura, what did you get this time?"
"Eh, nothing special. Just some gold trinkets that were cheap."
//Typical tomb robber behavior...//
/Well his yami IS unfortunately Yami Bakura./
Once Yugi had gotten outside he soon wished he hadn't. It was blistering out, typical noon heat. Yami had warned him it was hot, but this was ridiculous. Yami had even had to come out a few times to give Yugi some cooling off time in his soul room.
"Oh no, Joey's at it again. You'd think he'd explode or something..."
Yugi and Bakura watched from a distance as Joey, once again, consumed MORE of Egypt's best foods. This time he had moved onto the meats, seeming to try and fill his 'food pyramid' for the day. Both Yugi and Bakura feared to see when he made it to the wheats part...
"Ey guys...," Joey said through a mouth full of food.
"Please Joey, talk with your mouth empty," Ryou commented, looking a bit sick to his stomach.
"Whatever...," Joey said once more with food within his mouth, rolling his eyes.
"Come on Joey, we really should head back to the hotel," Yugi spoke, sighing with relief as Joey agreed.
~*~
They all collapsed. It was sort of funny, how they all seemed to be thinking the same thing. Strangest of all, they were all in different rooms. Yugi had had enough for one day, his feet blistering and body flushed from the heat. He was truly grateful his grandpa had given him sun screen right about now.
/I'm so beat.../
He turned over on his side, blinking in surprise. There sat another Sennen Eye on the wall, it seeming to eye him strangely. He couldn't help shuddering, feeling as if he were being examined.
//Strange, another one of those eyes...//
Yugi was thinking the same thing, standing up and gently touching it. He felt nothing. He blinked, pulling his hand back and touching his fingers together. All the same, the feeling of safety had left him, even with Yami there. With the thing always watching him it was hard to sleep that night.
~*~
Bakura idly talked with his father who happened to be on a dig in higher Egypt. He wished badly to see him, him being right here in the same country with him. It'd been a year now...
"Please father, we're here on a free vacation. Why not live it up?"
There was a soft sigh on the other end of the line, Bakura almost holding his breath.
"Sure, why not?"
Bakura smiled, though he realized his father could not see it.
"Oh thank you! I'm sure we can make it there tomorrow."
And with that said he spoke good night, hanging up after his father. Bakura's head was slightly bowed, as if thinking. But the smirk on his face seemed to prove differently...

Joey Wheeler glanced around. Fear gripped his heart, clenching it deeply into little bits. He glanced around worriedly as if he was afraid something were to jump out at him. He sighed, realizing finally he was alone and safe.
And he pulled out the two melons and sub he'd stashed away.
He chuckled to himself, feeling good he'd managed to sneak these in without the others there to notice. He didn't care if they thought he might get sick, he felt perfectly fine. Led belly he had, and what he would use. Without a second thought and bit into his sub, moaning in pure rapture. Never had he tasted something so GOOD. He made a note to himself to get more in the morning, if he didn't get a stomach ache of course.
