~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"A TOWN! A TOWN! CIVILIZATION!!!" Tea cried, in delight, as she danced around the "Welcome to The Town" sign. The rest of the group anime sweatdropped.
"These people really need to be more creative when naming their towns..." Malik said, dryly.[A/N: or the author needs to get her creative juices flowing v.v]
"What was your first hint?" Yami B asked, with a roll of his eyes.
"We either go into town now, or not at all..." Yami pointed out.
"I don't think we should..." Yugi said, quietly, while shivering. "I'm getting a really weird feeling from this place..."
"What kind of feeling, Yugi?" Tea asked.
"The kind that say, 'don't go in there, something really weird's gonna happen'..."
Joey blinked, "good point... since when is Yuge wrong?"
"It's a town, guys... what could happen?" Tristan asked, with a small shrug.
"Someone may have the urge to blow up a gas station again..." Bakura said, with a look towards his yami, and YamiM. Yami B anime sweatdropped, while YamiM... well...
"Urge? Urge!?" YamiM gasped, then started flinging his hair around. Then four guys in black appeared out of nowhere, and started to sing...
"He's got the urge..."
Everyone anime sweatdropped, and looked at Malik. Who shrugged, helplessly, then glared at his yami. "GET RID OF THEM!"
YamiM snickered, and waved his hand at the guys, "alright, alright..." The guys pouted, and shuffled away.
"That was mildly disturbing..." Kaiba said, slowly.
"Only 'mildly'?" Joey asked, with a shake of his head. Kaiba shrugged, then he sighed.
"Alright, we're goin in..." he declared. Then, with a firm nod, Kaiba grabbed Joey's hand, and started dragging him into town.
"ACK! HEY! Kaiba...!!"
"We're supposed to buddy-up, now...?" Tristan said, raising an eyebrow. Bakura shrugged, and wordlessly grabbed Tristan's hand, leading him after Kaiba and Joey. Yami and Yugi partnered up, of course. And YamiB grabbed Malik's hand, and stalked after them. Little did Malik notice, the yami was kinda red in the face. Anyone wonder why?
YamiM and Tea, on the other hand...
"Will you let go!?"
"No! We're buddies..."
"That doesn't mean you get to hold my hand...!"
"Why not? They all are!"
"They're lovers!"
Tea blinked, "really? All of them? Even Kaiba and Joey!?"
YamiM anime sweatdropped, "I dunno... but I know the Pharoah and Yugi are, Tristan and Bakura are, and..." he paused, narrowing his eyes.
Tea blinked, again. "What's up?"
"YAMI B! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY AIBOU!"
"MAKE ME!"
"WHY YOU...!" YamiM growled and ran after them.
Yami B snickered, and dashed ahead, Malik in tow.
"ACK!"
"HEY! BUDDY, WAIT UP! YOU GOTTA HOLD MY HAND!!!" Tea wailed, as she ran after her so-called buddy. Then she brightened, "hey yeah! I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAAAAND!" she sang.
"OH RA! NOW SHE'S SINGING!" YamiM wailed.
~~~***~~~
"I'm cold, and I'm hungry, and I'm tired, and I'm thirsty... and..." Tea was whining, as the group trooped their way into the town's center...
"Not to mention in need of a shower..." Yami B muttered.
"Yeah, that too..." Tea said, with a nod, then blinked. "YOU CALLIN ME STINKY!?"
Then a guy walked up to Tea, "nope, I haven't been callin you..."
Tea anime sweatdropped, while everyone blinked. "Er, who are you?" Tea asked, confused.
"I'm Stinky..."
Everyone fell over, anime-style. "ACK!!!"
Kaiba jumped back up, waving a fist at the sky, "ENOUGH WITH THE BAD JOKES!!!"
Then thunder rumbled, and a streak of lightning flashed across the sky.
"What'd you do, Kaiba?" Joey said, in a hushed tone. Kaiba sighed, his shoulders slumping.
"I opened my big mouth..."
Then rain poured down on the group. It came down in buckets. It came down in sheets. In other words, it was raining really, really, really lots.
"Hey look!" Yugi said, smiling despite his drenching, as he pointed at a building. The sign reading "Ucchan's".
The Egyptians of the group anime sweatdropped. "Say what?" they all asked.
"It's a restaurant..." Yugi explained, smiling, brightly.
"FOOT!" Tea whooped. Then made a mad dash for Ucchan's.
"I think she meant 'food'..." Joey said, slowly.
Everyone nodded, then shrugged, and walked after Tea.
~~~***~~~
"Interesting place..." Kaiba commented, once they stepped inside. Kinda small, but kinda warm and inviting. Okay, so there were loads of 'kinda's, but they were the good kinda 'kinda's. Ahem, anyways...
Behind the counter/cooking surface thing, stood a brunette, with green eyes, flipping okonomiyaki. Everyone, but the Egyptians started to drool. Then all lined up, sitting on the stools.
The girl blinked, "wow... lotsa business in less than an hour..." she said, cheerfully. "So, what can I do for you guys..?"
"Feed us..." Joey said, with a shrug. Everyone anime sweatdropped.
"Okay, I figured as much... what'll you like?" the girl asked.
"Whatever's edible..." Yami B said, shortly.
"Okay... coulda figured that out, too... so, uh... anything goes?"
Everyone nodded. So the girl shrugged, and got to work on the random orders. After a while, the orders were placed in front of the others. "Well, eat up..."
They gladly obliged.
"Joey... careful..." Yugi warned.
"What? I know how to eat..." Joey assured him, then started to choke. Kaiba pounded Joey's back, his brow furrowed with worry.
Joey blinked, then grinned. "Heh, thanks, Kaiba..."
Kaiba smiled. With a small anime sweatdrop, Joey went back to eating, hastily.
The girl blinked, really liking the interesting eyecolors of each of the guys. Particularly the brunette's golden eyes. She walked up to him.
"Hi..." she greeted. He blinked, then swallowed the bite he just took.
"Hi..."
"I'm Ukyo Kuonji..."
Tristan blinked, again. "Oh... nice to meet you... I'm Tristan Taylor..."
Ukyo smiled, shyly. "So, uh... the food meet with your satisfaction?"
Tristan smiled, "yeah... it's great..."
She brightened, clearly pleased. No compliment really pleasing her this much, before. And she didn't notice the silver-haired boy's glaring, either. People rarely did, didn't they?
Then a red-haired, rather busty girl raced in. "UUCHAN! HALP!" she yelled, and jumped behind the counter, into the cook's arms.
"ACK!" Ukyo yelped, catching the girl. "Ran-chan? What is it?"
"It's Kuno, again..."
"PIG-TAILED GIRL!!!" a brown-haired boy cried, as he leapt into the restaurant. His entrance caused our little group to freeze, and stare at him, confused.
"Uh, who's that?" Tea asked, perplexed.
The guy gasped, "you've never heard of I? Tatewaki Kuno!?"
"Uh, no... should we have...?" Joey asked, dryly.
"I, Tatewaki Kuno, am an upperclassman of Furinkan High, where I am known as the Blue Thunder!" he declared, brushing his curly bangs aside, with a small amount of class. He scowled, seeing them all stare at him, deadpan.
Then he gasped, again, at a lovely silver-haired maiden. "Be still, my beating heart!" he declared. Then he leapt towards Bakura, taking his hand, and kissed it gently.
"Fair beauty... please, honor me with your name, so that I may engrave it upon my heart, for all eternity..." Kuno said, passionately.
Bakura blinked. While Tristan glared at Kuno.
The red-haired girl blinked. "Hey, you said that to me, a few minutes ago..." then she folded her arms, "that two-timer!" Ukyo anime sweatdropped.
Bakura anime sweatdropped, "uhh, I'm Bakura...?" he said, slowly.
"Ah, lovely maiden! You greatly honor me! And I hope that you, too, feel the honor of winning the heart of Tatewaki Kuno...!" Kuno declared.
"Maiden!?" everyone choked out.
"No, wait a minute, I'm not a..." Bakura started to argue. Only to get scooped into Kuno's arms.
"Come, silver-haired maiden... let us date...!" Kuno said, with a somewhat charming smile.
Then two powerful fists smashed into Kuno's face, sending him flying towards the wall. Leaving a very nice Kuno-shaped hole, as well. One fist was sorta tiny, since it belonged to the red-haired girl, and the other belonging to Tristan.
Bakura blinked, landing in Tristan's arms, while the taller boy was glaring at the Kuno-sized hole in the wall. And yes, Tristan was using very little effort to hold up HIS Bakura.
"Jerk..." he growled. Bakura blushed, slightly, soon forgetting the whole Ukyo/Tristan thing.
Tristan glanced at the girl, "hey thanks..."
The girl smirked, "no problem... can't have the guy moving in on another guy's territory... by the way, I'm Ranma Saotome..."
"I'm Tristan, this is Bakura..." Tristan responded, with a grin. Then he gestured at the others. "That's Yugi, Yami, Joey, Kaiba, Tea, Malik, Yami B, and YamiM..."
"RANMA!!!" yelled a girl. Everyone blinked, as another girl, with short dark hair stormed into the restaurant.
"Uh, heh... hey Akane..." Ranma said, with a nervous smile.
"DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOU WALKING IN ON MY BATH! AND KICKING P- CHAN! I SHOULD... should... um, should..." the girl, named Akane, blinked, soon smitten by Yami. Apparently.
The Pharoah anime sweatdropped, as she stared at him, already beginning to blush. He hastily glanced at Yugi, whom was busy trying to keep Joey away from his okonomiyaki.
Ukyo blinked, finally turning away from Tristan and Bakura, glancing at Akane. "Uh-oh..." she mumbled. Akane walked up to Yami, her eyes shining, slightly.
"Um, hello..."
Yami fidgeted, then forced a polite smile, "hello..." he greeted, hesitantly.
"I'm Akane... Akane Tendo..." she said, holding out her hand.
Yami, anime sweatdropping, took her hand, and shook it, gingerly. "I'm Yami..."
"Um, hi..."
Ranma blinked, "hey Akane... where's the beating?" she asked, confused.
"Um, later, Ranma..."
"Huh? Later...?"
"AT LAST I'VE FOUND YOU, RANMA!"
Ranma blinked, then got beaned over the head with a teakettle. It clanged with the impact. Everyone turned towards the door, again. A guy with a bandana around his head, and he carried a heavy-looking pack, with a heavy-looking red umbrella. And he was glaring, viciously at Ranma.
"TURN INTO A MAN, SO I CAN FIGHT YOU WITH HONOR!" the guy ordered.
Ranma gingerly tapped the new bump on her head. "Ya know, I would Ryoga, but I kinda don't wanna..." she said, shortly.
"TURN INTO A MAN!"
Kaiba blinked, "turn into a man?"
Malik anime sweatdropped, "that's kinda messed up..."
"Not really..." Joey said, with a shrug. "That's messed up..." the blonde pointed at YamiM and Yami B.
"See!? The chair can be right below me!" Yami B declared.
"Did you say right bologna?" YamiM asked, with a raised eyebrow.
Yami B rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I said right bologna... because I don't want the wrong bologna..." he said, sarcastically. Both yamis were silent for a second. Then started to laugh hysterically.
Kaiba and Malik blinked, then started to nod. That was pretty weird, in a messed up kinda way.
"RANMA SAOTOME! I FOUND YOU!!!" yet another person declared. Long raven black hair, and thick glasses. Only on his head, not over his eyes. And he threw an umbrella aside. Protection from the rain, no doubt.
"Mousse! Get out!" Ukyo yelled. "I'm still paying for the damages you caused, last time!"
Tristan blinked, "uhhh... it's getting kinda crowded in here..."
And yeah, it was. Ryoga was lunging at Ranma, throwing punches at her, ordering her to turn into a man, for some strange reason. Yami was dealing with some lovestruck Akane girl. Mousse quickly lunged at Ranma, to join in. And here's where it gets a little confusing.
Ryoga missed Ranma, since she seemed really good at evading, and punched Joey.
"HEY!" Joey yelled. And damn, did it hurt. Of course Kaiba didn't take this sitting down.
"TOUCH JOEY, AGAIN, I'LL KILL YOU!" Kaiba snarled, and lunged at Ryoga. Ryoga, strong fighter that he was, was unbelievably intimidated by the CEO's powerful glare, and ran for dear life, crashing into everything.
Yugi blinked, noticing Yami. And Akane who was latched onto his arm. Yugi suddenly looked heartbroken. His large, violet eyes welled with tears.
"Yugi! It's not what it seems!" Yami cried.
Yugi swallowed the lump in his throat. "I'm... I'm happy that you found someone, Yami..." he said, softly. Then walked away, sadly.
"YUGI, NO!" Yami hollered. "SHE MEANS NOTHING TO ME!"
Akane's eyes widened, suddenly looking as heartbroken as Yugi. Then the pain quickly turned to anger, and she attacked Yami, with a lotta force.
Mousse completely missed Ranma, and tackled Malik. "Ah, Shampoo!? What're you doing here?!"
Malik anime sweatdropped, "I'm not Shampoo..."
"Oh Shampoo... there's something I've wanted to tell you, for so long... I... I... Shampoo, I love you...!"
Malik blinked. "Uh, well, that's nice, buddy... but my name's Malik, and..." then he got cut off, as Mousse kissed him on the lips.
Yami B and YamiM instantly stopped laughing, and glared viciously at Mousse. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MALIK!" they both snarled. Ah, the joys of jealousy. Mousse glared at the yamis, and jumped up.
"Shampoo is mine!" he yelled. "You want her as your fiancee, you have to defeat me... then defeat her!"
Malik blinked, again. Okay, now it was getting just plain weird.
Tristan blinked, "what is going on?"
Bakura shook his head, "I have no idea..."
Then Kuno reappeared, and took Bakura into his arms. "My silver-haired maiden! Fear not, for I, Tatewaki Kuno, will protect you from all this chaos and madness!"
Bakura anime sweatdropped. "Half of that 'chaos and madness' were caused by your friends!"
"Ah, clearly my silver-haired maiden is traumatized... but fear not... the Blue Thunder, will do his best to heal the fair beauty..."
Tristan narrowed his eyes, "get your hands off him now, or I'll...!" then he blinked, getting Kuno's bokken thrust into his face.
Kuno glared at Tristan. "Your appearances may be decent... but I have much more to offer this maiden... know this: interfere again, and I'll be forced to defend myself and my lady..."
Tristan growled, pushing the stick thing aside. "Oh yeah!? Well, know this, buddy! BAKURA'S MINE!"
Everything froze. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Ryoga and Kaiba in mid-run; Yami, Akane, and Yugi in mid-'heartache'; Yami B, YamiM, and Mousse in mid-pummeling.
All to stare at Tristan, in shock. Wow, who'da thought the guy was so protective, and possessive? Bakura stared at Tristan, shocked, his face reddening, and his eyes shining.
Hey, that's not a bad idea... each of the guys thought.
Yami quickly pulled free of Akane, and ran to Yugi, and held the little hikari, with all his might. "I'm Yugi's, Akane! No one else's!"
Yugi blushed, looking up at Yami, "wh-what?"
Yami blinked, then smiled, faintly. "I'm yours, Yugi..." Yugi smiled, shyly, and hugged Yami, lovingly.
Akane instantly softened at the cutesy scene. "Awww, isn't that cute...?" she commented, with a smile.
"You'd be a pretty lousy person to break that up, Akane..." Ranma commented, her hands behind her head, in a relaxed position.
"Probably..." Akane agreed. "I guess I should back off then, huh?"
"Hey, you're not being stubborn or pig-headed anymore... great!" Ranma said, with a grin.
Akane growled, "RANMA!"
"ACK!" Ranma raced out of the restaurant. Akane at her heels.
Malik strolled over, and casually pulled the yamis off of Mousse.
"Shampoo! You do care!!!" Mousse cried. Then leapt at Malik, and held him close. Yami B and YamiM scowled, and started for Mousse again. Then paused, seeing Malik signal them to stay put. With surprising patience, the Egyptian reached up, and pushed the glasses that rested on his head down. Over his eyes.
"Agh! You're not Shampoo...!"
"Very observant... now let me go..." Malik said, calmly. Blushing, Mousse released him, and glanced around. "Where is Saotome!?"
Ukyo pointed out the door, "left with Akane..." Mousse nodded, then grabbed his umbrella, and ran out, hastily. Both yamis leapt at Malik and held him, sobbing loudly.
"WE WERE AFRAID TO LOSE YOU!!!"
Malik anime sweatdropped. "Is it just me or do you guys get crazier every day...?"
Ryoga swallowed nervously. Then slowly stepped behind Joey. "Heh..." he said, slowly, a small anime sweatdrop forming on the side of his head. Kaiba continued to glare at him.
"Uhhh... I think I should go look for Ranma, now..." Ryoga said, nervously chuckling. "It should take me about three days, again... like last time..." then he spun, grabbing his pack, and ran out the door.
Then a gasp. "P-Chan! What're you doing way out here?!" Akane cried. Then a squeal of... a pig? Kaiba grinned, and glomped Joey.
"At last! You're mine, again!"
"Ack...!" Joey yelped, at the sudden glomping, "Kaiba!" he protested. But not without blushing a bit.
Meanwhile, Bakura pulled free of Kuno, and ran up to Tristan and hugged him. Tristan smiled, and held Bakura. Then glared at Kuno. Kuno blinked, never having to deal with rejection before. He clutched his chest.
"Ah! The bitter taste of rejection..." he gasped out, dramatically. "Surely the pig-tailed girl can heal me of my pain and sorrows!" he turned, and ran out of the restaurant.
Everyone anime sweatdropped. "Okay... this was the most entertaining rainy-day I've been through..." Ukyo commented. Then she grinned. "The okonomiyaki's on the house, kids..."
Everyone smiled, "thanks..."
Ukyo nodded, "no problem... now, can you all leave...?"
"Huh? Why?" Tea asked, finally speaking up. Anyone else notice she wasn't involved in everything that just happened?
"I have to clean up..." Ukyo answered. Everyone looked around. Yeah, it was a pigsty. So, with a clear of their throats, the group hastily made their exit.
~~~****~~~
"So... nothin happened to Tea, huh?" Joey asked, with a scowl.
"Nope..." Tea chirped.
"Nothing... at all?" Tristan asked.
"Uh-uh..."
"You sure?" Yami asked.
"Yeah..."
"Well, where's the fairness in all that?" Kaiba asked, with a shake of his head.
"Don't worry guys..." Malik said, with a grin. "Tea'll get hers..."
"How do you know?" Yami B asked.
"Exactly what I was wondering...." YamiM chimed in.
Then Tea screamed, in sheer horror. "Oh lovely... just lovely..." an old man's voice said, in delight.
The guys all turned around, seeing Tea, with a tiny old man clinging to her chest. Tea looked downright disgusted, peeved, and terrified.
"Hey, sweet cheeks! I'm Happosai, what's your name?" the old man asked, giving her a cheeky grin.
Tea screamed again, as she shoved Happosai aside, and ran away, in terror.
"Wait, darling! We'll make beautiful music together!" Happosai cried, running after her.
"Is that what you meant?" Bakura asked. Malik shrugged, and grinned.
"Sorta..."
The group started to follow after Tea... and Happosai... but at a slower pace.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"A TOWN! A TOWN! CIVILIZATION!!!" Tea cried, in delight, as she danced around the "Welcome to The Town" sign. The rest of the group anime sweatdropped.
"These people really need to be more creative when naming their towns..." Malik said, dryly.[A/N: or the author needs to get her creative juices flowing v.v]
"What was your first hint?" Yami B asked, with a roll of his eyes.
"We either go into town now, or not at all..." Yami pointed out.
"I don't think we should..." Yugi said, quietly, while shivering. "I'm getting a really weird feeling from this place..."
"What kind of feeling, Yugi?" Tea asked.
"The kind that say, 'don't go in there, something really weird's gonna happen'..."
Joey blinked, "good point... since when is Yuge wrong?"
"It's a town, guys... what could happen?" Tristan asked, with a small shrug.
"Someone may have the urge to blow up a gas station again..." Bakura said, with a look towards his yami, and YamiM. Yami B anime sweatdropped, while YamiM... well...
"Urge? Urge!?" YamiM gasped, then started flinging his hair around. Then four guys in black appeared out of nowhere, and started to sing...
"He's got the urge..."
Everyone anime sweatdropped, and looked at Malik. Who shrugged, helplessly, then glared at his yami. "GET RID OF THEM!"
YamiM snickered, and waved his hand at the guys, "alright, alright..." The guys pouted, and shuffled away.
"That was mildly disturbing..." Kaiba said, slowly.
"Only 'mildly'?" Joey asked, with a shake of his head. Kaiba shrugged, then he sighed.
"Alright, we're goin in..." he declared. Then, with a firm nod, Kaiba grabbed Joey's hand, and started dragging him into town.
"ACK! HEY! Kaiba...!!"
"We're supposed to buddy-up, now...?" Tristan said, raising an eyebrow. Bakura shrugged, and wordlessly grabbed Tristan's hand, leading him after Kaiba and Joey. Yami and Yugi partnered up, of course. And YamiB grabbed Malik's hand, and stalked after them. Little did Malik notice, the yami was kinda red in the face. Anyone wonder why?
YamiM and Tea, on the other hand...
"Will you let go!?"
"No! We're buddies..."
"That doesn't mean you get to hold my hand...!"
"Why not? They all are!"
"They're lovers!"
Tea blinked, "really? All of them? Even Kaiba and Joey!?"
YamiM anime sweatdropped, "I dunno... but I know the Pharoah and Yugi are, Tristan and Bakura are, and..." he paused, narrowing his eyes.
Tea blinked, again. "What's up?"
"YAMI B! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY AIBOU!"
"MAKE ME!"
"WHY YOU...!" YamiM growled and ran after them.
Yami B snickered, and dashed ahead, Malik in tow.
"ACK!"
"HEY! BUDDY, WAIT UP! YOU GOTTA HOLD MY HAND!!!" Tea wailed, as she ran after her so-called buddy. Then she brightened, "hey yeah! I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAAAAND!" she sang.
"OH RA! NOW SHE'S SINGING!" YamiM wailed.
~~~***~~~
"I'm cold, and I'm hungry, and I'm tired, and I'm thirsty... and..." Tea was whining, as the group trooped their way into the town's center...
"Not to mention in need of a shower..." Yami B muttered.
"Yeah, that too..." Tea said, with a nod, then blinked. "YOU CALLIN ME STINKY!?"
Then a guy walked up to Tea, "nope, I haven't been callin you..."
Tea anime sweatdropped, while everyone blinked. "Er, who are you?" Tea asked, confused.
"I'm Stinky..."
Everyone fell over, anime-style. "ACK!!!"
Kaiba jumped back up, waving a fist at the sky, "ENOUGH WITH THE BAD JOKES!!!"
Then thunder rumbled, and a streak of lightning flashed across the sky.
"What'd you do, Kaiba?" Joey said, in a hushed tone. Kaiba sighed, his shoulders slumping.
"I opened my big mouth..."
Then rain poured down on the group. It came down in buckets. It came down in sheets. In other words, it was raining really, really, really lots.
"Hey look!" Yugi said, smiling despite his drenching, as he pointed at a building. The sign reading "Ucchan's".
The Egyptians of the group anime sweatdropped. "Say what?" they all asked.
"It's a restaurant..." Yugi explained, smiling, brightly.
"FOOT!" Tea whooped. Then made a mad dash for Ucchan's.
"I think she meant 'food'..." Joey said, slowly.
Everyone nodded, then shrugged, and walked after Tea.
~~~***~~~
"Interesting place..." Kaiba commented, once they stepped inside. Kinda small, but kinda warm and inviting. Okay, so there were loads of 'kinda's, but they were the good kinda 'kinda's. Ahem, anyways...
Behind the counter/cooking surface thing, stood a brunette, with green eyes, flipping okonomiyaki. Everyone, but the Egyptians started to drool. Then all lined up, sitting on the stools.
The girl blinked, "wow... lotsa business in less than an hour..." she said, cheerfully. "So, what can I do for you guys..?"
"Feed us..." Joey said, with a shrug. Everyone anime sweatdropped.
"Okay, I figured as much... what'll you like?" the girl asked.
"Whatever's edible..." Yami B said, shortly.
"Okay... coulda figured that out, too... so, uh... anything goes?"
Everyone nodded. So the girl shrugged, and got to work on the random orders. After a while, the orders were placed in front of the others. "Well, eat up..."
They gladly obliged.
"Joey... careful..." Yugi warned.
"What? I know how to eat..." Joey assured him, then started to choke. Kaiba pounded Joey's back, his brow furrowed with worry.
Joey blinked, then grinned. "Heh, thanks, Kaiba..."
Kaiba smiled. With a small anime sweatdrop, Joey went back to eating, hastily.
The girl blinked, really liking the interesting eyecolors of each of the guys. Particularly the brunette's golden eyes. She walked up to him.
"Hi..." she greeted. He blinked, then swallowed the bite he just took.
"Hi..."
"I'm Ukyo Kuonji..."
Tristan blinked, again. "Oh... nice to meet you... I'm Tristan Taylor..."
Ukyo smiled, shyly. "So, uh... the food meet with your satisfaction?"
Tristan smiled, "yeah... it's great..."
She brightened, clearly pleased. No compliment really pleasing her this much, before. And she didn't notice the silver-haired boy's glaring, either. People rarely did, didn't they?
Then a red-haired, rather busty girl raced in. "UUCHAN! HALP!" she yelled, and jumped behind the counter, into the cook's arms.
"ACK!" Ukyo yelped, catching the girl. "Ran-chan? What is it?"
"It's Kuno, again..."
"PIG-TAILED GIRL!!!" a brown-haired boy cried, as he leapt into the restaurant. His entrance caused our little group to freeze, and stare at him, confused.
"Uh, who's that?" Tea asked, perplexed.
The guy gasped, "you've never heard of I? Tatewaki Kuno!?"
"Uh, no... should we have...?" Joey asked, dryly.
"I, Tatewaki Kuno, am an upperclassman of Furinkan High, where I am known as the Blue Thunder!" he declared, brushing his curly bangs aside, with a small amount of class. He scowled, seeing them all stare at him, deadpan.
Then he gasped, again, at a lovely silver-haired maiden. "Be still, my beating heart!" he declared. Then he leapt towards Bakura, taking his hand, and kissed it gently.
"Fair beauty... please, honor me with your name, so that I may engrave it upon my heart, for all eternity..." Kuno said, passionately.
Bakura blinked. While Tristan glared at Kuno.
The red-haired girl blinked. "Hey, you said that to me, a few minutes ago..." then she folded her arms, "that two-timer!" Ukyo anime sweatdropped.
Bakura anime sweatdropped, "uhh, I'm Bakura...?" he said, slowly.
"Ah, lovely maiden! You greatly honor me! And I hope that you, too, feel the honor of winning the heart of Tatewaki Kuno...!" Kuno declared.
"Maiden!?" everyone choked out.
"No, wait a minute, I'm not a..." Bakura started to argue. Only to get scooped into Kuno's arms.
"Come, silver-haired maiden... let us date...!" Kuno said, with a somewhat charming smile.
Then two powerful fists smashed into Kuno's face, sending him flying towards the wall. Leaving a very nice Kuno-shaped hole, as well. One fist was sorta tiny, since it belonged to the red-haired girl, and the other belonging to Tristan.
Bakura blinked, landing in Tristan's arms, while the taller boy was glaring at the Kuno-sized hole in the wall. And yes, Tristan was using very little effort to hold up HIS Bakura.
"Jerk..." he growled. Bakura blushed, slightly, soon forgetting the whole Ukyo/Tristan thing.
Tristan glanced at the girl, "hey thanks..."
The girl smirked, "no problem... can't have the guy moving in on another guy's territory... by the way, I'm Ranma Saotome..."
"I'm Tristan, this is Bakura..." Tristan responded, with a grin. Then he gestured at the others. "That's Yugi, Yami, Joey, Kaiba, Tea, Malik, Yami B, and YamiM..."
"RANMA!!!" yelled a girl. Everyone blinked, as another girl, with short dark hair stormed into the restaurant.
"Uh, heh... hey Akane..." Ranma said, with a nervous smile.
"DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOU WALKING IN ON MY BATH! AND KICKING P- CHAN! I SHOULD... should... um, should..." the girl, named Akane, blinked, soon smitten by Yami. Apparently.
The Pharoah anime sweatdropped, as she stared at him, already beginning to blush. He hastily glanced at Yugi, whom was busy trying to keep Joey away from his okonomiyaki.
Ukyo blinked, finally turning away from Tristan and Bakura, glancing at Akane. "Uh-oh..." she mumbled. Akane walked up to Yami, her eyes shining, slightly.
"Um, hello..."
Yami fidgeted, then forced a polite smile, "hello..." he greeted, hesitantly.
"I'm Akane... Akane Tendo..." she said, holding out her hand.
Yami, anime sweatdropping, took her hand, and shook it, gingerly. "I'm Yami..."
"Um, hi..."
Ranma blinked, "hey Akane... where's the beating?" she asked, confused.
"Um, later, Ranma..."
"Huh? Later...?"
"AT LAST I'VE FOUND YOU, RANMA!"
Ranma blinked, then got beaned over the head with a teakettle. It clanged with the impact. Everyone turned towards the door, again. A guy with a bandana around his head, and he carried a heavy-looking pack, with a heavy-looking red umbrella. And he was glaring, viciously at Ranma.
"TURN INTO A MAN, SO I CAN FIGHT YOU WITH HONOR!" the guy ordered.
Ranma gingerly tapped the new bump on her head. "Ya know, I would Ryoga, but I kinda don't wanna..." she said, shortly.
"TURN INTO A MAN!"
Kaiba blinked, "turn into a man?"
Malik anime sweatdropped, "that's kinda messed up..."
"Not really..." Joey said, with a shrug. "That's messed up..." the blonde pointed at YamiM and Yami B.
"See!? The chair can be right below me!" Yami B declared.
"Did you say right bologna?" YamiM asked, with a raised eyebrow.
Yami B rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I said right bologna... because I don't want the wrong bologna..." he said, sarcastically. Both yamis were silent for a second. Then started to laugh hysterically.
Kaiba and Malik blinked, then started to nod. That was pretty weird, in a messed up kinda way.
"RANMA SAOTOME! I FOUND YOU!!!" yet another person declared. Long raven black hair, and thick glasses. Only on his head, not over his eyes. And he threw an umbrella aside. Protection from the rain, no doubt.
"Mousse! Get out!" Ukyo yelled. "I'm still paying for the damages you caused, last time!"
Tristan blinked, "uhhh... it's getting kinda crowded in here..."
And yeah, it was. Ryoga was lunging at Ranma, throwing punches at her, ordering her to turn into a man, for some strange reason. Yami was dealing with some lovestruck Akane girl. Mousse quickly lunged at Ranma, to join in. And here's where it gets a little confusing.
Ryoga missed Ranma, since she seemed really good at evading, and punched Joey.
"HEY!" Joey yelled. And damn, did it hurt. Of course Kaiba didn't take this sitting down.
"TOUCH JOEY, AGAIN, I'LL KILL YOU!" Kaiba snarled, and lunged at Ryoga. Ryoga, strong fighter that he was, was unbelievably intimidated by the CEO's powerful glare, and ran for dear life, crashing into everything.
Yugi blinked, noticing Yami. And Akane who was latched onto his arm. Yugi suddenly looked heartbroken. His large, violet eyes welled with tears.
"Yugi! It's not what it seems!" Yami cried.
Yugi swallowed the lump in his throat. "I'm... I'm happy that you found someone, Yami..." he said, softly. Then walked away, sadly.
"YUGI, NO!" Yami hollered. "SHE MEANS NOTHING TO ME!"
Akane's eyes widened, suddenly looking as heartbroken as Yugi. Then the pain quickly turned to anger, and she attacked Yami, with a lotta force.
Mousse completely missed Ranma, and tackled Malik. "Ah, Shampoo!? What're you doing here?!"
Malik anime sweatdropped, "I'm not Shampoo..."
"Oh Shampoo... there's something I've wanted to tell you, for so long... I... I... Shampoo, I love you...!"
Malik blinked. "Uh, well, that's nice, buddy... but my name's Malik, and..." then he got cut off, as Mousse kissed him on the lips.
Yami B and YamiM instantly stopped laughing, and glared viciously at Mousse. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MALIK!" they both snarled. Ah, the joys of jealousy. Mousse glared at the yamis, and jumped up.
"Shampoo is mine!" he yelled. "You want her as your fiancee, you have to defeat me... then defeat her!"
Malik blinked, again. Okay, now it was getting just plain weird.
Tristan blinked, "what is going on?"
Bakura shook his head, "I have no idea..."
Then Kuno reappeared, and took Bakura into his arms. "My silver-haired maiden! Fear not, for I, Tatewaki Kuno, will protect you from all this chaos and madness!"
Bakura anime sweatdropped. "Half of that 'chaos and madness' were caused by your friends!"
"Ah, clearly my silver-haired maiden is traumatized... but fear not... the Blue Thunder, will do his best to heal the fair beauty..."
Tristan narrowed his eyes, "get your hands off him now, or I'll...!" then he blinked, getting Kuno's bokken thrust into his face.
Kuno glared at Tristan. "Your appearances may be decent... but I have much more to offer this maiden... know this: interfere again, and I'll be forced to defend myself and my lady..."
Tristan growled, pushing the stick thing aside. "Oh yeah!? Well, know this, buddy! BAKURA'S MINE!"
Everything froze. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Ryoga and Kaiba in mid-run; Yami, Akane, and Yugi in mid-'heartache'; Yami B, YamiM, and Mousse in mid-pummeling.
All to stare at Tristan, in shock. Wow, who'da thought the guy was so protective, and possessive? Bakura stared at Tristan, shocked, his face reddening, and his eyes shining.
Hey, that's not a bad idea... each of the guys thought.
Yami quickly pulled free of Akane, and ran to Yugi, and held the little hikari, with all his might. "I'm Yugi's, Akane! No one else's!"
Yugi blushed, looking up at Yami, "wh-what?"
Yami blinked, then smiled, faintly. "I'm yours, Yugi..." Yugi smiled, shyly, and hugged Yami, lovingly.
Akane instantly softened at the cutesy scene. "Awww, isn't that cute...?" she commented, with a smile.
"You'd be a pretty lousy person to break that up, Akane..." Ranma commented, her hands behind her head, in a relaxed position.
"Probably..." Akane agreed. "I guess I should back off then, huh?"
"Hey, you're not being stubborn or pig-headed anymore... great!" Ranma said, with a grin.
Akane growled, "RANMA!"
"ACK!" Ranma raced out of the restaurant. Akane at her heels.
Malik strolled over, and casually pulled the yamis off of Mousse.
"Shampoo! You do care!!!" Mousse cried. Then leapt at Malik, and held him close. Yami B and YamiM scowled, and started for Mousse again. Then paused, seeing Malik signal them to stay put. With surprising patience, the Egyptian reached up, and pushed the glasses that rested on his head down. Over his eyes.
"Agh! You're not Shampoo...!"
"Very observant... now let me go..." Malik said, calmly. Blushing, Mousse released him, and glanced around. "Where is Saotome!?"
Ukyo pointed out the door, "left with Akane..." Mousse nodded, then grabbed his umbrella, and ran out, hastily. Both yamis leapt at Malik and held him, sobbing loudly.
"WE WERE AFRAID TO LOSE YOU!!!"
Malik anime sweatdropped. "Is it just me or do you guys get crazier every day...?"
Ryoga swallowed nervously. Then slowly stepped behind Joey. "Heh..." he said, slowly, a small anime sweatdrop forming on the side of his head. Kaiba continued to glare at him.
"Uhhh... I think I should go look for Ranma, now..." Ryoga said, nervously chuckling. "It should take me about three days, again... like last time..." then he spun, grabbing his pack, and ran out the door.
Then a gasp. "P-Chan! What're you doing way out here?!" Akane cried. Then a squeal of... a pig? Kaiba grinned, and glomped Joey.
"At last! You're mine, again!"
"Ack...!" Joey yelped, at the sudden glomping, "Kaiba!" he protested. But not without blushing a bit.
Meanwhile, Bakura pulled free of Kuno, and ran up to Tristan and hugged him. Tristan smiled, and held Bakura. Then glared at Kuno. Kuno blinked, never having to deal with rejection before. He clutched his chest.
"Ah! The bitter taste of rejection..." he gasped out, dramatically. "Surely the pig-tailed girl can heal me of my pain and sorrows!" he turned, and ran out of the restaurant.
Everyone anime sweatdropped. "Okay... this was the most entertaining rainy-day I've been through..." Ukyo commented. Then she grinned. "The okonomiyaki's on the house, kids..."
Everyone smiled, "thanks..."
Ukyo nodded, "no problem... now, can you all leave...?"
"Huh? Why?" Tea asked, finally speaking up. Anyone else notice she wasn't involved in everything that just happened?
"I have to clean up..." Ukyo answered. Everyone looked around. Yeah, it was a pigsty. So, with a clear of their throats, the group hastily made their exit.
~~~****~~~
"So... nothin happened to Tea, huh?" Joey asked, with a scowl.
"Nope..." Tea chirped.
"Nothing... at all?" Tristan asked.
"Uh-uh..."
"You sure?" Yami asked.
"Yeah..."
"Well, where's the fairness in all that?" Kaiba asked, with a shake of his head.
"Don't worry guys..." Malik said, with a grin. "Tea'll get hers..."
"How do you know?" Yami B asked.
"Exactly what I was wondering...." YamiM chimed in.
Then Tea screamed, in sheer horror. "Oh lovely... just lovely..." an old man's voice said, in delight.
The guys all turned around, seeing Tea, with a tiny old man clinging to her chest. Tea looked downright disgusted, peeved, and terrified.
"Hey, sweet cheeks! I'm Happosai, what's your name?" the old man asked, giving her a cheeky grin.
Tea screamed again, as she shoved Happosai aside, and ran away, in terror.
"Wait, darling! We'll make beautiful music together!" Happosai cried, running after her.
"Is that what you meant?" Bakura asked. Malik shrugged, and grinned.
"Sorta..."
The group started to follow after Tea... and Happosai... but at a slower pace.
