20 ways to order a pizza the fun way...part V (It's the last one.*sighs*)

81. Mumble, "There's a bomb under your seat." When asked to repeat that, say, "I said 'sauce smothered with meat'."

82. Make the first topping you order mushrooms. Make the last thing you say "No mushrooms, please." Hang up before they have a chance to respond.

83. When the order is repeated, change it slightly. When it is repeated again, change it again. On the third time, say, "You just don't get it, do you?"

84. When you're given the price, say "Ooooooo, that sounds complicated. I hate math."

85. Haggle.

86. Order a one-inch pizza.

87. Order term life insurance.

88. When they say, "Will that be all?", snicker and say, "We'll find out, won't we?"

89. Order with a Speak-n-Spell where applicable.

90. Ask how many dolphins were killed to make that pizza.

91. While on the phone, fake entering puberty. Fluctuate pitch often; act embarrassed.

92. Engage in some serious swapping.

93. Dance all around the word "pizza." Avoid saying it at all costs. If he/she says it, say "Please don't mention that word."

94. Have a movie with a good car chase scene playing loudly in the background. Yell "OW!" when a bullet is fired.

95. If he/she suggests a side order, ask why he/she is punishing you.

96. Ask if the pizza has had its shots.

97. Order a steamed pizza.

98. Get taker's name. Later, call exactly on the hour to say, "This is your (time of day) wake-up call, So-and-so." Hang up.

99. Offer to pay for the pizza with a public flogging.

100. If any of the above practices are rejected by the order taker, say, in your best pouty voice, "Last guy let me do it."

Don't Tell

Chapter 9:

~*~

Yugi had been training for over a month by now, and his skills have sharpened to a point.

By now his reflexes were quicker than the others, as were his other skills. He had also found a secluded area in the local park that was rather beautiful, with a huge bolder in the middle of the creek.

Yugi had then cast a spell around the area, preventing any humans, or vampires, from entering.

Sugoroku, on the other hand, had been preparing his spell. It would allow him to erase one memory permanently from his grandson. Or so he thought. Memories can never be forgotten, only buried.

And he chose to rid Yugi of his feelings toward Yami.

~*~Later that night.actually, midnight, so technically, next morning~*~

Sugoroku stepped quietly into his grandsons' room, placing a sleeping spell over the room so that Yugi would not wake.

He stepped over Yugi, his eyes raking over the small form lovingly.

'It's for your own good, Yugi.'

Sugoroku clasped his hands over Yugi and closed his eyes.

"I call upon the One,

to help rid of pestering memories,

come like the night,

cover the memory,

and hide it from view,

keep it safe from prying minds,

let it be untouched for

countless moons,

'till one who posses

the key to his being

unlocks the past forgotten.

So mote it be."

A small light shone from Sugoroku's hands and washed Yugi in its' light.

The small figure slept on, never knowing what had occurred that night.

~*~ Next morning, err.6 hours later~*~

Yugi awoke, yawning.

Why he had woken up so early on a free day was a mystery to him.

Yugi had changed the room back to its original state after he had become a hunter.

And, as of becoming 17, he had gotten his first car. (His grandpa wouldn't let him get one before that.)

It was a beautiful silver Portia convertible with an Chinese dragon outlined in black going down the side.

He had no recollection of Yami, well, he did not remember his, uh, "relationship" with Yami, only his hatred.

Apparently Yami had killed off many of his relatives (this time it was actually him, and not Peggsy *shudders*)

He was going out on patrol tonight. Contrary to popular belief, vampires did not die in sunlight. Just annoyed them greatly. This is why many people did not believe in their existence.

Yugi hated going out on patrol with his circle. He firmly believed that he would hunt the vampires down faster without them.

And that was usually the case.

They would track down a leech for a week to a month; Yugi would get annoyed, and hunt them down and kill them himself that day.

And his so called "friends" never believed him. Hiroto Honda, a bakayaro at that in Yugi's opinion, was the leader of the group. And everybody else followed him like sheep to a Shepard. Pathetic. And, of course, whenever Yugi announced his latest kill, Honda denounced it, and the others agreed with him.

Honda was supposed to be strong, never backing down from a fight, one of the best Hunters alive.

Yugi snorted at the thought. Yeah, right, and I'm the tallest one in the group.

~*~Yugi's POV~*~

What to wear, what to wear.

I smiled at the song that came up on my CD player, Butterfly. At least one of the many, MANY, versions of it.

"Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, where's my Samurai?"

"I've been searching for all man, all of Japan, just to find, to find my Samurai. Someone who is strong and still a little shy, yes I need, I need my Samurai. Ai yai yai, I'm your little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky. Ai yai yai, I'm you little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky."

I started swaying my hips to the beat, enjoying the rhythm.

"I searched in the woods, up high on the hills, just to find, to find my Samurai. Someone who won't regret to keep me in his net, yes I need, I need my Samurai. Ai yai yai, I'm your little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky. Ai yai yai, I'm you little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky."

"Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, where's my Samurai?"

"Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, where's my Samurai?"

"Ai yai yai, I'm your little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky. Ai yai yai, I'm you little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky. Ai yai yai, I'm your little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky. Ai yai yai, I'm you little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky."

"Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, where's my Samurai?"

"Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, Ahh yai yai, where's my Samurai?"

"Ai yai yai, I'm you little butterfly, free I can love make a palace in the sky."

(Some of the lyrics are probably wrong, but oh well..)

The tune of that song was great.even though my personality has darkened, my taste in music hasn't. Though I did get EXTREMLY tired of alternative rock.I got into DDR, Dance, and E-Rotic music. I looked at my outfit.

It should work. Black, tight fitting jeans and a soft black sleeveless tee shirt. I had black fingerless gloves on and, of course, my belt buckle. A silver choker was below it with a silver ankh dangling.

To top it off, and give me a more "mysterious" appeal, I applied eyeliner, enhancing my eyes, and some silver eye shadow.

I placed the sword in my spine sheath, one in each boot, and two spring- loaded daggers by my wrist.

Great. Now time to go hunt down some Vampires.

~*~11 PM~*~

I had left the house with the rest of my circle an hour ago.

And now we were outside of a club.

And it was freezing.

Note to self: bring jacket next time.

Anzu was the prey. Sometimes I was, but they still thought I was too 'weak'. Yeah, right.

"Whatever. I'm leaving." I say, turning around and walking out.

"Sure Yugi, just make sure you don't get in trouble on your way home!" Honda calls out.

".Urusei bakayaro." I muttered under my breath. Like I was going home.

I turned around the corner and followed the vampiric trail I had encountered earlier. It led me on for blocks. It was then that I came to Las Noches, *their* nightclub.

It must have been a weak Vamp to leave such an open trail.hehe. Let the fun begin.

~*~Yami's POV~*~

I had left a trail leading to the club. I felt the urge to kill a witch. Any witch.

// But not Yugi - // Gah!!!! I will NOT think about _him_. He left me. And I thought I could possibly learn to feel again. But no more. He is just another witch to me.

I gaze over at Bakura. Sitting at the bar drinking. Not sure what. Blood? Who knew? It was then that I felt another presence enter. His.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Should I end it here? Nah.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was the witch my trail attracted? The Gods must be against me. Groaning, I turned around in my seat, facing the opposite direction.

Bakura was now flirting with the bartender, Keela. Admittedly she was very attractive, with long black hair and silver highlights and deep blue eyes. But I had my sights set on another.

~*~Yugi's POV~*~

I entered Las Noches without any trouble. The bouncer seemed to have known me. Have I been here before.? Maybe, but I don't remember it.

Multi colored lights swung back and forth in the room, clearly visible in the smoke filled room. And there was an open bar. Common in a vampire club.wait, if I was in a Vampire Club, I had totally screwed myself over. Sure there were a few humans here, but they were mainly prey for the Vampires. And, I being the witch I was, if I killed a leech, I'd be dead within two seconds.

Crap.

Way to go Yugi, I thought sarcastically.

Oh well. As long as I'm in here, might as well enjoy myself. I made my way over to the bar where the bartender was digging through her store of drinks.

It was then that I saw *him*. I was in shock. I mean, how often do you find an exact replica of yourself, save the fact that he was taller, had crimson eyes, and was so much more.I did NOT want to finish that thought. Bad Yugi! Bad, bad Yugi!

I got the strange feeling of Dejà vù, but from what?

My eyes narrowed in hatred when I realized who it was. Yami. And I can't do anything about it. Eurgh. I swear that the Gods have it in for me.

Hn. So it was him that I was following. Irony sucks big time.

I make my way over to the bar, taking a seat away from Yami as far as possible. I catch a glimpse of silver hair through the smoke, thinking that it was Ryou. But it couldn't be.could it? He was with the others, and I would have had sensed him if he had followed me.

I return my attention to the drink that Keela had given me. Hoping that it wasn't lethal, I swallowed it in one down.

I licked my lips. That was a good drink.wonder what it was?

~*~Yami's POV~*~

The little witch had ignored me. How insolent! I chuckled. I had hears rumors about a circle in this area that was supposed to be lethal. That they killed every vampire they hunted. And that Yugi was one of their group. No body knew who he was, and those who did see him didn't live to tell the tale. The only reason the group was so feared was mostly because of Yugi.

And I didn't think he could become a Hunter.what did Sugoroku tell him. That I killed Sia? Or that I saved the world through my own damnation? Or that I was ruthless, killing many of his own clan? Who knew?

Gulping down the rest of my drink, I set off to where Yugi was sitting.

Making my way through the crowd, I never took my eyes off Yugi. Did he still remember me.? Screw that, does he still feel the same way?

Before he could react, I draped my arms around his shoulders, placing my mouth by his ears. He stiffens up considerably.

"Miss me, little one?" I purred seductively, licking at his earlobe.

I could feel the sword under his shirt. So the rumors were true.

"What do you want?" Yugi hissed back venomously.

He turns around completely, his eyes burning with hatred. And there was something else there.I prodded his mind. He had no fucking idea who I was! Damn you Sugoroku!!!

"Get out of my mind leech! Or I'll - "

"Or you'll what? Kill me? I'm to powerful for you to attack, and, even if you did manage, you have the entire club to deal with." I drawled.

~*~Yugi's POV~*~

I glare up at Yami. How dare he touch me! It was because of him that my entire life became a living Hell. And he was right; it was impossible for me to attack right now.

And why would I miss him? I don't even KNOW him!

Yami smirked and dragged me out to the dance floor. Why???? I swear the Gods hate me. I know they do.

"Come on little witch, loosen up. Don't worry, I don't bit, at least not yet." Yami grinned, showing his fangs. He bent down to my ear again, whispering darkly, "At least not until the Killing Hour." I shuddered. I did NOT want to be in this place past midnight.

The majority of myself wondered why I wasn't putting up much of a fight. The other part reasoned that it was because I did not want to be killed by Yami. Another part, a really, REALLY, small part didn't mind at all.

We finally reached the dance floor, and 'Falling for a Witch' came on. Huh.

~*~Yami's POV~*~

I heard the song that came on, 'Falling for a Witch'. Great. I had fallen for a witch, and hard. But I was determined to put away my feelings. Yugi did not remember me, and apparently, didn't want anything to do with me.

But when I stood behind him and placed my hands on his hips, he did not break free. We began swaying to the music and he placed his arms above his head, wrapping themselves around my neck. It was bliss. My hands guided him as the pace picked up, our bodies becoming one.

It felt as if though nothing had changed.nothing at all. But it could not last. I knew that I would have to leave him.nothing could be the way it was now that he is a Hunter.

One last night.owarii my Hikari, for this is the last time our paths will cross.

I sighed as I overpowered Yugi's aura with by own, knocking him unconscious. I picked up the limp form in my arms, and transported him home.

I laid him on the bed, and carefully erased the happenings of the past hour and a half from his memory.

I bent down and brushed my lips gently against his, vanishing into the night.

~*~Next morning, Yugi's POV~*~

I woke up yawning.

How did I get here.? I wonder staring at my room. What happened last night?

Unfortunately, my memory was blank. Did I get drunk? I thought incredulously.

I don't think so.

"Yugi!" My grandpa yells from the kitchen. "Breakfast!"

"Hai Jii-san! I'll be down in 5 minutes!"

I change into gray sweats and a white semi-formfitting shirt.

I headed down stairs and my friends greeted me.

I mumbled an "ohayou" and got a piece of toast.

"You missed it Yugi! We took down Kristopher!" Anzu exclaimed ecstatically.

"Huh? Oh, good job."

"You missed it Yug'! When did you get home?" Jou asked.

"Um.I'm not sure." That was true. I had no idea how I got home, much less what time!

"Well, is everybody ready for school?" Jii-san asked smiling, clasping his hands together.

We all groaned. I mean, who would ACTUALLY want to go to school?

And that was the beginning of another, boring day in my life, until the sun set and night took over.

~*~Normal POV~*~

Yugi went about his life, never knowing the occasional pair of crimson eyes watching him from time to time. And the one time he did, he never recognized the owner.

For with the help of the forgotten Vampire, Yugi forgot everything about Yami, only a hatred remaining for his race.

And that is where our real story begins.

~ + ~ Sneak peak of 'Blood Lust' ~ + ~

Yugi glanced around his surroundings carefully. The fiends were casually sitting

on the couch and leaning against the wall. Unsuspecting mortals were mingling

around with the leeches, chatting casually. Here he was, at one of the vampire's

circuits, the one that Yami ran with. Yugi's eyes darkened at the thought of that particular vampire. Yami had managed

to kill Sia, one of the most powerful witches in history. From then on, Yami had

become one of the most feared, hated, and hunted after vampire. Yugi wandered

around casually, looking for Yami. Even though he was outnumbered, with no

backup, Yugi was confident. He could feel the long blade inside a spine sheath

that was attached to his back, underneath a black, sleeveless, form-fitting top.

Twin daggers were

hidden inside each of his knee-high boots. Black leather pants, a black, silver

buckle belt choker on his wrists and neck completed the assumable. But his 5 foot frame and round, violet eyes gave him a look of innocence

that made him appear harmless. But Yugi was anything but. A rather handsome vampire made its way over to Yugi. He flinched slightly as the

vampire got closer, its aura making Yugi's stomach do flip-flops. But Yugi hid

his feelings, as his aura. He just smiled. "Hello." Kaitos, Yugi had finally identified him, said slyly. "What are you doing here, one so beautiful as yourself should not go

unescorted." Kaitos murmured. "Lets go somewhere more private." Yugi whispered huskily. Kaitos grinned as he led Yugi outside of the house into the darkness. He placed

Yugi up against the wall, wrapping his arms around Yugi's slim waist. ~ + ~ Read 'Blood Lust' for more.~ + ~
