Disclaimer: (Do I even need one?) I don't own Yugioh. Fushigi-Yuugi chapters haven't been published yet, but I don't own them anyway. And Raven.well, he's my sister's. She lent him to me in exchange for slash promises.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING"

Ryou and Raven emerged from the TV room about an hour later. Both were grinning mysteriously.

"Is The Matrix that uplifting," Seto asked from behind his blue laptop with a huge Blue-Eyes sticker on the top, "Or is it something else?"

Ryou turned bright red. Passing by with a tray of steak, Yami surreptitiously kicked Seto's foot.

"Ow!"

"What's wrong?" Raven asked.

"Just the killer bunny," Seto replied lamely. Foo-Foo, naturally, chose that moment to emerge.

"You're keeping it loose?" Seto looked incredulously at Bakura.

"Foofy won't hurt anyone unless I tell him to," Bakura insisted.

"What about the Chihuahua?" Yami remarked from the kitchen. Bakura gave him a dirty look, but the damage was done.

"What Chihuahua?" Raven asked.

Bakura groaned.

Raven went home some hours later, after eating a delicious dinner prepared by (who else?) Yami. Ryou then got down to the really important birthday business - opening presents.

"Hey thanks Seto!" Ryou said upon opening his present - a laptop. "But . what's this?"

"I got some pictures of you and Raven and scanned them into my computer, then printed them onto the top."

"What do you have in your room?" Yami asked with a certain professional curiosity.

"Oh, a bit of this, a bit of that," Seto said evasively.

Ryou looked confused. "But where did you get those pictures?"

"You have one in your high school yearbook, Ryou," Seto reminded him.

"We do?"

"Umm, do you normally hug each other for high school yearbook shots?" Yami asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yami!"

"Blame Seto. He's been corrupting me."

"Actually," Seto admitted, "It wasn't in the yearbook. It's the one you taped on the wall above your bed."

Bakura choked on his soda, coughing.

"Do you suppose we could talk about something else?" Ryou asked plaintively.

"But of course, dear Ryou," Seto said extravagantly. "Tell me, when is the wedding?"

That time, it was Bakura who smacked Seto.

"I didn't do anything," Seto said almost automatically.

"Open some more presents, Ryou," Yami said to head off any further argument.

After Ryou got his present from Bakura - which was a set of daggers - he finally opened Yami's, which was a huge box full of books of all types.

"Thank you Yami!" Ryou said happily, burying himself in books (not literally!).

"Say, Ryou," Seto asked slyly, "What was Raven's present?"

"Your coke is fizzing over Seto!" Ryou said quickly, and indeed Seto had looked away from the drink he was pouring and poured it on the table.

"I told you you should have let me do it," Yami remarked.

Seto glared and wiped up the coke.

"So, what was your birthday present Ryou? A single birthday kiss?"

"Seto!" Yami poured his glass of water over Seto's head.

"I didn't do anything," Seto protested again, pulling ice from his hair.
