~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Everyone stepped back, nervously, as Cletus gave them his three- toothed grin. "Well now, how shall we go about all this...?"

"How about you let us out the door, so we can get out of your way?" Kaiba suggested, his blue eyes flashing. He didn't like the idea of being kept as a hostage, practically.

"No, no, no... Boris won't take too kindly to those who don't want none of my hospitality..."

"Boris?" Everyone asked, slowly.

Then a large, lumbering dog appeared next to the old man, a thick pink tongue lolled out, as he panted heavily.[1]

"Just a hunch.... but I think that's Boris..." Malik said, slowly.

"Right you are... this magnificent beast is Boris... and he likes little kids..."

"Excuse me, but we're not necessarily little kids..." Bakura started to object.

"What about the little boy back there..?" Cletus asked, gesturing at Yugi. The violet-eyed boy bit his lip. Boris was looking very... hungry, at the moment.

Yami scowled. Then raised his hand towards Cletus, his palm wide open, "Mind Cr...!"

"No!" Everyone leapt at him, grabbing his arm. "Calm down, Yami!"

"We'll stay..." Kaiba said, with a frown. "But no touching Yugi, deal?"

Everyone blinked, in surprise. Cletus chuckled, "tell Boris, not me..."

"I'm not talking to a canine... it's bad enough I have to travel around with one..." Kaiba said, coldly, as he folded his arms. Joey glared at him.

Cletus grinned, and hobbled to a cupboard, and started pulling out fleece blankets and pillows. "You can sleep on the floor..."

Tea looked down at the wooden planks. Didn't look too comfy. But, it was better than walking in the cold. Wasn't it?

***

Cletus stared in shock. These weren't kids! They were animals!

"WILL YOU LET GO!?" Tea yelled.

"NO! YOU ALREADY HAVE TWO!" Malik retorted.

Both were playing tug-of-war with a fleece, and it was getting stretched, quite a bit. The others merely stood back, watching and anime sweatdrops forming.

Then Cletus noticed two other kids appeared. One looking like the kid fighting for the blanket, only more devillish looking. And the other one, looking like the silver-haired kid, only he looked kinda evil, too.

"Yami, what're you doing out?" Bakura asked, confused.

"I think I had enough rest..." Yami B said, with a shrug. "What's with them?" he asked, gesturing at Tea and Malik.

"Tea wants a blanket to sleep on, since we have to sleep on the floor..." Tristan explained, with a roll of his eyes.

Joey scowled, "can you guys settle it yet? We can't sleep with you both fightin in the middle of the room!"

"Shut up!" they both snapped at the blonde. Joey sighed.

Their scuffle continued. YamiM smirked, seeing his chance to get revenge. Without it looking like he wanted revenge. "I'll help you, aibou!" he declared, and leapt onto the blanket that they were stretching between themselves.

"HEY!" they protested. Then got pulled down to the floor, too, "WHOA!" Resulting in a three-person dog pile. "ACK!"

Cletus sighed. Kids these days. He hustled out of the room, to the backroom. Then returned with a bagful of candies and sugar cubes. "Here you go, kids... eat up, then go sleep..."

Of course, any somewhat normal person knows sugar isn't exactly a relaxing kinda thing to eat. But then, Cletus has been living on his own for a while now. Eh, what was the worst that could happen?

***

Getting eight teenagers, all on a sugar high. That was the worse that could happen, apparently. Cletus blinked at the chaos these kids were causing in his little trading post. The place was a mess. Blankets and pillows thrown around the floor. Candy wrappers, soda cans, and boxes of sugar cubes laying around. It was a little too much.

Yugi hopped around, smiling cutely. "Lookie! My lollipop looks like Yami!" he declared.

"Awww, so kawaii!" Tea squealed, and starts snapping picture after picture of Yugi, hopping around, looking overall adorable.

"Eeeeeh! FLASHES!"

Malik started to giggle, "you said flashes...!"

Yami snickered, "aibou, you hentai..."

Yugi blushed, still smiling cutely, "I never meant it like that... I meant like camera flashes..."

"Cameras can't flash!" Joey argued, as he licked a sugar cube.

"They can if they're one of those novelty, hentai ones..." Kaiba said, with a wide grin. Of course the thought of those kind of cameras got everyone giggling hysterically.

"Ooh, grape lollipop!" Bakura declared, pulling it out.

"Duel you for it..!" Yami challenged, as he hopped up to Bakura.

"No, it's already mine, why would I duel you for it?"

"Do him!?" Malik asked, his eyes wide. As well as the grin on his face. Tristan calmly smacked Malik, lightly, upside the head.

"Hentai..."

"Only way to be, man!"

"Hey ol' man! You gotta beard! You noticed, right?!" Joey asked, hopping around Cletus, a sugar-induced grin on his face. Then he pointed at the chessboard. "DEMON LLAMA!"[2]

"AUGGGGGGGGH!!!!" Everyone started to run in circles, giggling, madly.

Cletus raised an eyebrow, an anime sweatdrops forming. While Yami B and YamiM looked at each other, confused.

"What's wrong with them?" YamiM asked.

"Sugar high..." Yami B said, with a shake of his head. "I've seen it before, and it's not pretty... this is only the beginning..."

"Wh-what do we do...?" YamiM asked, perplexed by his aibou's behavior. Right then Malik was playing with a bishop from the old chessboard, making airplane noises with it.

"Stay out of the way, until it wears off..." Yami B said, shrugging. Then he stepped back, moving his foot, avoiding Yugi's hyper-active hopping around. Yami at his heels.

Yugi then turned around and glomped Yami, "Yami..."

"Aibou..."

"Hiya."

"Hiya..."

"You're cool... I feel safe with you around..."

"Thank you... I like making people feel safe..." Yami said, with a wise nod. Yugi started to giggle.

"Do that again!"

"This?" Yami nodded, again. And again, Yugi giggled.

"So cute, aibou!" Yami huggled his little hikari.

"AWWWWWWWW, TOO KAWAII!" Tea squealed, and snapped picture after picture of them hugging. "Hey, where'd all my filum go...!?"

"IT'S FILM! NOT FILUM!" Kaiba snapped, "onna no baka..."

"HEY MAN! THAT'S DIRTY POOL! What's it mean, again?" Malik asked, then he grinned. "HENTAI!?"

"Nopers, it means... WHEELER!"

"So, onna no baka is a 'WHEELER'?" Malik started to laugh hysterically.

"No, this is a Wheeler, the one covering my eyes..."

"I was supposed to say 'guess who' first, ya party pooper!" Joey said, with a pout.

"Pooper..." Malik giggled, madly.

Bakura laughed, "Malik, you're weird..."

"And you love me for it..!" Malik declared.

"Hey!"

"Er, you love Tristan for it..."

"Yes, that I do... I love you, Tristan..."

"I love you, Bakura..."

Tea started to swoon. "YES! THIS IS EVERY GIRL'S DWEAM! KISS!!! ME!!! BENEATH!!!THE MILKY!!! TWILIGHT...!!!"

"It's William Shatner!!!"[3] Yami and Yugi yelled in unison, and started to laugh hysterically.

"Tea's singing again! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Kaiba yelled, his eyes still covered by Joey. "Joey, leggo!"

"... Your eggo..!?" Joey started to giggle.

"Ew, man! Save that talk for the bedroom!" Malik yelled, and started laughing hysterically.

"I often wondered, what's a Casbuh?" Yugi asked, still hugging Yami.

"It's a part of the bed..." Tristan said, with a grin.

"Huh?"

"You know... rock the Casbuh? Rock the bed?"

Bakura blushed, and covered Tristan's mouth, "stop, you'll make Malik worse..."

"WHOO-HOO! ROCK IT! ROCK THAT CASBUH!!!" Malik whooped, and started eating more sugar cubes, since the regular candies were now gone.

"You're a lousy liar, Taylor..." Kaiba declared. Yes, his eyes still covered. "JOEY! LEGGO!"

"You didn't guess who!!!"

"I said your name three times!!!"

Malik laughed hysterically, "bad thoughts!"

"How is that in any way dirty?" Yami asked, tilted his head, in curiousity. A pretty cute look on him.

"Hey, he was believing me, man!" Tristan protested.

"No, he wasn't!"

"Yes, he was!"

"I'm being ignored...!" Yugi cried, his lower lip quivering.

"Aibou! I'm sorry! I won't take my eyes off you, I promise!" Yami cried.

"Okay then..." Yugi smiled, cutely.

"I WANT MORE FILUM! SO MUCH KAWAIINESS AND I'M MISSIN IT!!!" Tea wailed.

"IT'S FILM! NOT FILUM!" Kaiba yelled.

"FILUM, FILUM, FILUM, FILUM..!!!"

"You think you're cute, don't you..?" Kaiba asked, dryly. Tea batted her eyes.

"Why yes, I do..."

"I'm cute! Ain't I, Kaiba!?" Joey asked, with a grin.

Kaiba blinked, "why you asking me!?"

"I need an honest opinion..!"

"So very cute!" Tristan gushed, pinching Joey's cheek.

"Hey man! So're you!" Joey gushed back, pinching Tristan's cheek. Both guys started laughing hysterically.

"Yeah, Joey... you're cute..." Kaiba said, with a shrug.

"Takes a true man to say that, Kaiba-boy! Thanks." Joey said, cheerfully.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT! AUGH! FLASHBACKS!" Kaiba ran and hid behind Yami. Yugi bopped Kaiba over the head with his small fist.

"My Yami... no touch..."

Kaiba started poking Yami, "touch, touch, touch, touch, touch..."

"HENTAI!" Malik cheered. Yami started to poke Kaiba back. "touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, touch..."

"Looks more like poking to me..." Bakura said, with a grin.

"That it does... tired, Bakura?" Tristan asked.

"Nope..."

"You sure..?"

"Positive..."

"You lying?"

"No..."

"You're sure..?"

"No... er, yes..."

Tristan started to laugh. "You're not funny, Mr. Taylor...!" Bakura started chasing Tristan around the room, playfully.

Cletus blinked, then turned to the two sane kids, "uhhhh, how long it'll take for 'em to calm down...?"

Yami B snatched the last box of sugar cubes, and threw in the trash. "It should end right about now..."

YamiM nodded, "I'll contribute..." Then he ran around the room, stealing everyone's sugar cubes.

"HEY!" they all protested.

"GET THE SUGAR THIEF!!!" Malik yelled. Everyone nodded, and they all started running after YamiM. "GIVE IT BACK!"

"RELEASE THE SECRET WEAPON!" Tea hollered.

Malik shrugged, and started to strip to imaginary music, undoing his shirt in a seductive manner. A large anime sweatdrop formed on YamiM, then he shrugged, and sat down to watch. Yami B smacked him upside the head, as he took the sugar cubes, and threw them out the window.

Everyone started laughing hysterically. Despite the loss of the sugar.

"I meant Yugi, but that works..." Tea called, between giggles.

"Me strip?" Yugi asked, his eyes wide, looking even more cute.

"NEVER AIBOU!" Yami cried.

"Yeah, it's a private treat just for Yami..." Kaiba called. Then he started to laugh hysterically. Yami stuck his tongue out at Kaiba.

Yami B sighed, now it was getting to be a little too hentai. Warily, he glanced at his aibou's watch. Which was taken off, in fear that he might lose it. "5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."

Yugi and Yami then fell over, into a pile of blankets and pillows. Then Tea fell over. Then Joey and Kaiba. Then Malik. Then Tristan and Bakura. All of them were sound asleep.

YamiM and Cletus stared at Yami B, "how'd...?"

"Most sugar highs, especially group ones, last about two hours, tops..." Yami B explained. Then he grabbed a few of the leftover blankets, and started covering them all up.

"Ummmmmm..." YamiM blinked, "what now?"

"Now we go to sleep, too..." Yami B said, with a shrug. Then he turned to Cletus, "you can leave now... we can handle them... get some sleep..."

Cletus shrugged, "if you're sure..." Then he headed for his room.

Yawning, Yami B curled up in the easy chair, and closed his eyes. YamiM curled up in the old loveseat. Both Yamis fell asleep, thankful that the sugar was wearing off at this moment.
