LUKE: Hello! Updating "Blackmail" finally! YAAAAAY! *crickets chirping* Ugh, damn bugs! DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!! *crickets squished*. There. That's better.

DISCLAIMER: I came, I saw, I manga-ed. But I didn't draw Yu-Gi-Oh! Sooooooooo, I don't own it! Neither does any other SkyWolf. Or you, for that matter.

Heartburn Haunting

Chapter II: Eyeball Soup, Anyone?

"Well, well, well! I'd advise you to wake up, Jonouchi! We've a busy, busy night! Wake up!" The white haired spirit- and no, I don't mean Yami Bakura- tapped the sleeping boy on the head, before flicking his ear.

"Aah! What the-? YAAAH! PEGASUS!" Yes, it's our DEAR, DEAR friend Pegasus J. Crawford! Or rather, a being who looked like him.

"Well, finally! Let's go!" He grabbed Jonouchi's arm, but the boy resisted.

"Hey, get yer filthy hands offa me, ya perv! I'm not going anywhere!"

"On the contrary, my boy, you are. We are going somewhere, and I'm rather certain you'll recognize it."

"I'm not goin' anywhere! Especially not with- wait. I thought Pegasus was dead! AAAAAH! GHOST!!!!!" The apparition slapped his forehead, and rolled his eyes.

"No, my boy, I'm not a 'ghost,' really. I'm far more of a fiend. But I'm not even Pegasus. I'm the Fiend of Indigestion Past! You can call me 'Pastie!'"

"Yeah, well you can call me 'passed out!' Bai-bai!" And Jou flopped down onto the bed, trying to sleep.

"Oh, no, my boy. We've got SO much to do! I don't want to make you late for my friends!" Crap. Jou had forgotten the other spirits!

"I'm not going, and that's that!"

"Fine, have it your way. I'll just bring it to you!" And with a snap of his bony fingers, "Pastie" abruptly transformed Jonouchi's room into a dining room! A dining HALL, rather. The Duelist Kingdom Castle dining hall, to be exact!

"YAAAH! How the- AAAH!"

"Remember how you ate what your friend Anzu called the 'eyeball soup?' Remember what happened after?"

"Yeah, I rememb- anoooooooo, no I don't! What happened?"

The spirit sighed, and snapped his fingers again. "Here. Maybe this will refresh your memory!"

"Glazes, and crullers, mmm, *mumble mumble*, GIGANTIC DONUT!!!"

"Hey, that's me! Jeez, am I that loud in my sleep?"

"Only when you have gas or heartburn. With heartburn, you yell out. With gas, I'm not going to say!" Jou turned green.

"Okay, I'm loud. So what?"

"That's not the problem. THAT is!" And "Pastie" grabbed Jonouchi by the shoulders and spun him.

"Bandit Keith! UGH! I hate that guy!"

They watched as the American punk stole the Glory of King's Hand card stashed in Jonouchi's jacket pocket. "Jeez, I didn't notice?"

"You were asleep! And, when you're having indigestion, you CAN'T be woken. Trust me, the only reason we can is because we're extra-wakey."

"That baka! Damn you, Keith, when I get my hands on you, I'm gonna..." Jonouchi was raving about the theft of his card. "Pastie" began to rub his temples, and returned them to Jonouchi's room. Picking up the mallet left by the Anzu spirit, he bashed Jonouchi HARD with it.

"Sheesh. Loud kid."
