And the beat goes on... hehe just kidding. Hope this chapter is okay...

/.../ = Yugi thinking to Yami //...// = Yami thinking to Yugi Yukino Usaki = rabbit of snow

***

Yugi's, and nearly everyone else's mouth was agape... Seto in a dress... now wasn't that interesting? And then the laughter came... except from Yami who was trying to maintain his dignity... and Mokuba, who was not in fairy garb, grinned like a cheshire cat.

The Pharaoh heard a loud uproar in the main room and walked in looking quite pissed off... "WHAT THE BLOODY FUCKING HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE!?!"

Yugi looked at the Pharaoh... and then at Yami... Then back to the Pharaoh... He was trying to hold back laughter... and here's why. The pharaoh looked even more like Yami because he had changed into Yami-ish clothes... that tight leather... buckles... etc., except that the Pharaoh had an violet cape type thing...

And yes... Yami noticed... though he really didn't care but he glared at the air without really knowing it. Yugi thought that this meant that Yami was mad at him for laughing at him.

/Er... sorry, Yami. /

//... // No response.

/Yami...? /

//Look over there at Kaiba... doesn't something seem strange...? //

Yugi looked at Kaiba. Yep, there was definitely something wrong... Seto Kaiba was wearing a BRIGHT pink dress with a lot of glitter on it... and was holding some pathetic looking fairy wand... and staring vacantly into space...

Yami tried to challenge Kaiba. "So you want to kill someone, right? I'm guessing that that person is me. I know you hate me. Give it your best shot." Yami walked in front of Seto's face, waved a hand in front of it... and then smacked him with it. 'Hmm... This could be good...' Yami thought to himself.

Yami did not receive a reaction... and so smacked him again... and again... and again... and again... Harder and harder each time.

"Err... Yami, I think you can stop now..." began Yugi.

Yami smirked, "Why should I?"

Yugi, Mokuba, and Ryou sweat-dropped.

They heard a snort... "That's not how you're supposed to do anything!"

Bakura walked up to Seto and smacked him hard enough to make him wake up from whatever trance he was in. Ryou alone noticed that Bakura had blood on his hand. Seto seemed to wake-up and look alert once more.

Yami snarled. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!!!" Yami then kicked Bakura into the wall.

*Fortunately nothing on the wall broke.*

"Hmm... So Yami was always able to yell that loud," a random person said.

Seto looked around and saw Yami and then... another Yami?

Wait... was he wearing a PINK DRESS!?! "WHY THE HELL AM I WEARING A DRESS!!! WHY THE HELL ARE THERE TWO YAMIS!!??!! WHERE THE HELL AM I???"

The pharaoh now looked even MORE pissed off at this new person annoying him, and so he hit Seto on the head and made him unconscious.

The Pharaoh attempted to sound calm. "Okay, I still am not sure who the hell you people are, but you have to GO! The prophesied day has come. The world may end! You all must go now! I will send you to someone who lies between dimensions and realities and they will help you get back to where ever the hell you all came from... But GO!!!"

Yami nodded. "Of course we will go... and don't worry the world won't end... yet..."

The Pharaoh smirked and then shut his eyes, apparently deep in concentration... and slowly a portal opened. "Go..." the pharaoh commanded. Mokuba walked in first, then Yugi, then Ryou, then Bakura who was dragging Seto by the hair, and finally Yami, who never looked back.

***

"This portal looks like the same one that took Seto and me here..." Mokuba mused.

"You were taken here by a portal, too?" asked Yugi.

Mokuba suddenly smiled wickedly at the memory. "Wanna hear the story?"

Nearly everyone nodded emphatically.

"Well, it all started when I saw this really cool kit at the toy store, but I had no one to test it on that was when Seto walked into the room..."

Mokuba began a story about a hypnotizing kit, a fairy dress, Seto, and a portal...

By the time Mokuba was finished, they reached... someplace...

"Welcome!" Said a female voice.

Seto had awakened... "Why does my hair feel weird...?" He felt his head, and then saw Bakura holding a little of his hair. "AHHHH!!! You BASTARD!!!"

"As I said, you are welcome here, but not to fight... unless I tell you to, that is... I am Yukino Usagi, but you can just call me Yuki... The great Pharaoh has given me a task, and I will perform it... but only after you entertain me, for you see, people don't come to this place very often. It would be a plesure if you all entertained me... after all, you have no choice, anyway." Yuki smiled suspiciously.

"Entertain you? How?" Yami really wasn't liking this girl at all.

"Well... do you really want to know?" Yuki took one look at Yami and continued. "The first task is to enter hell and find your way back again. Of course, I'll be watching, so you won't die, but all other rules apply."

Everyone shifted around uneasily.

"And who," Seto began, "will be the lucky person to participate in this?"

"Well, I already have some people in mind, but to be fair, since there are so many of you, you all, as a group can decide which two people will go through this challenge. If this task is completed quick enough, there will be another. The strain in your world is not so great that I have to send you back just yet."

"What do you mean by, 'strain'?" asked Yami.

"Don't let that bother you right now. Let the games begin! Choose your contestants, now!" Yuki said.

"But how can you do that!" asked Yugi.

"This is her realm, Yugi." He turned to Yuki. "I agree to your terms. I offer myself up as one of the victims." stated Yami.

Bakura finally made himself known. "I offer up the kid."

Seto grabbed his shirt collar. "You've no right. You should be the one to go into the hell fire. I bet that I would kill Yami faster than you would."

Yuki smiled. "You all needn't argue! Seto, Bakura, and Yami are all going. Together. Have fun."

There it is. I bet you're noticing some major changes now. I felt that it would be better to put minimal romance in here, because the romance issue is contributing to my writer's block. Please review your opinions. If you flame, please make it a constructive flame so that I may improve. This means that you can't say YOU SUCK or anything like that. Don't correct me on my English. Although it is my first language, I don't have spellcheck anymore and it would hinder my chapters further to pick out all of my errors. Adieu.
