Chapter three.
"Stupid Bakura." Yami had been saying this each and every morning since the trip.
He walked down stairs with a banging hangover. He had been drinking all of last night. Yugi ran up to greet him.
"Hi! Feeling any better?"
"Nope." Yami had gone to the hairdressers first thing the morning after he had come back. He had got his normal hair colour back. That was five days ago.
"Ryou and Bakura are coming back tomorrow."
"I know. Stop trying to depress me!" Yugi frowned.
"I'm not. I'm just saying… anyways… what're you going to do today?"
"Sit on my ass."
"Oh. Well wanna go to the cinema with me? I'm bored stiff."
"We went there two days ago."
"I like the cinemas though." Yami sighed and nodded. "Great!" Yugi grinned and ran upstairs to get changed. 'He didn't say we were going now… I've only just got downstairs!'
The cinema only had one film on at the moment that Yugi hadn't seen. It was a thriller movie packed with as many ghosts and monsters that tear peoples heads off as you could possibly get in one movie.
Three hours later, Yugi and Yami emerged from the cinema. Yugi was shaking like a leaf, his eyes were wide and he still looked terrified. Yami didn't seem effected at all.
"That was a good film." He said casually. Yugi looked at him, still terrified.
"That was the most gruesome thing I've ever seen in my life!" he muttered hoarsely- he had been screaming a lot in there.
Someone tapped Yami on the shoulder and he spun round. It was Violet.
"Hi there! Did you just see the thriller?"
"Yes…"
"Great wasn't it? I love that kind of thing. Well, I'll watch anything in the cinemas, but horrific thrillers are a must see for me! Someone spoiled it though. He kept screaming like a banshee." Yami laughed and pointed at Yugi.
"That was him!" Violet smiled.
"Where are Ryou and Bakura? Aren't they back yet?"
"No. They're coming back tomorrow." Yugi said. Yami had gone silent.
"Oh sorry…" Violet mumbled.
"It's ok."
"Hey! Do you want to come and see the game shop?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah sure! I need some good cards anyways!"
The three of them headed back to the game shop. Violets eyes lit up and she began darting everywhere looking at various cards and booster packs. She walked over to the counter after ten minutes with ten single cards that she found. Violet bought them and went back over to Yugi and Yami, who had been watching her flit around the store at the speed of light.
"Want to duel?" she asked.
"I do!" Yugi squeaked. He showed her upstairs and sat down with the duelling table and his cards.
"Ok, for starters, I'll play… this card face down, and this monster card in attack mode!"
The duel went on for about half an hour. Violet was winning against Yugi and Yami was in the corner, watching in awe at how good Violet was.
"Ok! I play curse of dragon in attack mode!" Yugi said. Violet thought for a while.
"Ok, I activate 'Pot of greed, which lets me draw two cards from my deck… GREAT! Now I put Leogun in attack mode and put this magic card, 'Block attack, which switches your curse of dragon to defence mode! Say bye bye!"
Yugi scowled and took curse of dragon off the field. He had fifty stupid life points, and Violet had 500.
"Well, I'll put Dark magician in attack mode and attack your Leogun!" Violet's score went down to 200. Violet grinned.
"Now I put Suijin in attack mode! Then I'll use this magic card to increase its attack power, and you're finished!"
Yugi groaned. Violet grinned again and put away her deck. "Anytime you want a rematch, I'll be happy to beat you!"
Violet stayed for tea and said she had better go.
"You can stay over if you want to!" Yugi said.
"Really? I don't really want to take the train back, but only if you have room." Yugi nodded.
"The only catch, is you have to duel me again tomorrow!"
"Ok then!" Yugi smiled and showed her to the guest bedroom.
"This is where to sleep, but for now, I have to watch TV. My life counts on it!" Yugi then flew back downstairs and switched the TV on. Violet smiled and looked around. Nice place. Too bad Yami's gay though. Hey! I was thinking about the house, how'd I jump onto Yami? Violet shook the idea out of her head and went back downstairs to watch TV with Yugi. After a while, a thought crossed her mind.
"Yugi? Where's your phone? I need to call my parents to let them know where I am. They're probably phoning the police right now already."
"In the kitchen." Yugi said, not taking his eyes off the TV. Violet got up and headed to the kitchen where Yami was.
"Hi! Where's the phone?"
"In the corner over there." Yami answered, smiling and returning to gaze at the microwave. "Um, why isn't this working?" hew asked.
"Maybe if you turned it on? That usually works."
"Oh yeah…" Violet grinned and turned to the phone, pressing in her number and waiting.
"Hi mum!" Yami heard a loud yelling on the other end of the phone. "I'm fine! I'm at this guy that I met at camp's house." The yelling got so loud that Yami could actually hear it from the other side of the kitchen.
"You sleep with anyone and I'll ring your neck! And I'll know when you come home if you have!" Yami started laughing. "Who's that?" Violet's mother yelled. Violet sighed and handed the phone to Yami.
"Hi there! Please don't shout at me, I have fragile ears and I'm sure the rest of the neighbourhood doesn't really want to hear you." Violet grinned.
"Wise guy huh?"
"I am quite clever, yes."
"If you touch my daughter, I'll kill you with my own two hands!" Yami wet over to Violet and poked her.
"I just touched her, where are ya huh?" and Yami turned the phone off. Violet broke out in laughter. Yami grinned and turned back to the microwave. "You're mother is very… protective."
"Yeah. I hate it. I had to blackmail her into letting me go to camp."
"How'd you do that?"
"Trust me… you don't wanna know." Violet raced back into the living room to Yugi and settled down to watch TV. I hope I don't get grounded for this. She thought, not that she really cared- even if she was grounded, Violet, like always, would just sneak out of the window.
She heard the phone ring and Yami answered.
"Violet! The fog horn's on the phone!" Violet sighed and got back up. She took the phone off Yami.
"Hi again."
"Why do all of your friends have attitude problems?"
"Makes them more interesting." Yami was still listening.
"Well… as long as you don't sleep with anyone…"
"It's ok. Yami's gay." And Violet put the phone down before her mother could object.
"Should you have told her that?" Yami asked.
"Probably not." She shrugged and turned to wait for the phone to ring again. Yami headed into the room.
"I'm not gay. I'm bi." Yami added. Wow. Maybe I do have a chance with him… WAIT! He's my friend! Nothing else! Violet shook her head and decided that the phone most probably wasn't going to ring again.
"I need a life that doesn't suck." She muttered.
Next morning, Violet woke up with a stabbing pain in her head. Then she noticed she was dangling out of the bed upside down. She groaned and got up.
She padded downstairs and saw Yugi and Yami were already up.
"Early morning guys are you?" she asked.
"Not really." Yugi said. He looked like someone had just announced Christmas was coming early. "It's just that Ryou's coming home today! So is Bakura… so Yami's having a fit." Yami was standing in the kitchen looking half dead and shaken up.
"Hi." Violet said cautiously.
"Your mother called. She said to wake you up… but since it was only three o'clock, I just put the phone down."
"Thanks… I think." Yami smiled half-heartedly and went back into the living room.
Violet tired to find something to eat, but gave up when all she could find was sugar. The phone rang and she picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Who is this?"
"Violet."
"Oh hi! I didn't think you'd be there! It's Ryou! Can you tell Yugi that we're on our way back now?"
"Ok then. Bye!
"Bye." Violet put the phone down and headed back into the room.
"Ryou's coming back soon. He's on his way right now." Yami started shaking slightly.
"YES YES YES!" Yugi screamed. He ran round the room three times then raced upstairs, leaving Yami and Violet alone.
"Are you ok?" Violet asked.
"Nope. Do you think it's too late to skip the country?"
"Yes." Yami sighed.
Three hours later, a bus pulled up out side and Ryou leapt off. Yugi opened the door and flew at Ryou, knocking him over.
"Hi again. Sheesh, I've only just got back and I've already got bruises."
"Sorry." Yugi said, helping Ryou up. Bakura got slowly off the bus and walked through into the house. He spotted Yami and went over to him. He still had vivid red hair.
"I see you've gone back to normal."
"I see you haven't."
"You said you liked it, so I stayed with it." Yami scowled.
"Yeah, well if you want to go back to being albino now, you can! 'Cause I don't really care if you die!" and he stormed out of the room.
Not seeing where he was going, Yami crashed right into Violet.
"Sorry." he muttered and got up. Violet grinned and went to see Bakura. "I really don't think that's a good idea." He called to no avail.
"Hi Bakura." Bakura jolted and spun round.
"You! You ruined my life and then came back to see what happens next?"
"I didn't ruin your life, you did. I wasn't the one Yami caught making out with someone else." Before Bakura had chance to retort, Ryou came in.
"Hi Violet! How long have you been here?"
"I slept over last night. I really should be getting back now though."
"Yes well. No time like the present." Bakura muttered. The phone rang again and Ryou picked it up.
"Hello?" a loud screech was heard. "Um, I think someone's just died over the phone." Ryou said anxiously.
"It's my mother." Violet said, sighing. She took the phone off Ryou and waited for the explosion.
"Where are you?" her mother yelled.
"Still here."
"How long are you going to be staying for?"
"Dunno." Yami came up behind Violet and listened in.
"Well you'd better speak to an adult and find out how and when you're getting home!"
"There aren't any adults here."
"WHAT! They haven't left you on your own with two boys have they?" Yami took the phone off Violet. Violet knew that he was going to say something that would probably land her in deep shit, but she really didn't care that much anymore.
"Actually, there are four guys here. Don't worry though, we're all very gay… well I'm bi, but that's not really your business. Violet can stay for as long as she wants so why don't you go get a life and stop messing up hers?" Violet stared at him. Yami attempted to give the phone back to her, but she backed away.
"No way!" she said, pushing the phone back. Yami smiled and put the phone down. "Can I really stay here as long as I want?"
"Uh huh. All you have to do is let me speak to your mother when she calls. It releases a lot of pent-up rage."
"Deal!"
Bakura was seething with anger. He couldn't believe he had let this happen. One week, one encounter and Yami was acting like her best friend! This couldn't go any further- he wouldn't let it!
(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)
Yey! One more finished! Ok. You get to decide what happens in the next chapter. Should Violet or Bakura end up with Yami? Hurry up and tell me!
