Chapter 4- Journey to MANS BAR!
Disclaimer:: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, yadda yadda. And I also don't own the MANS BAR or any of the characters that come with it. Those belong to FOX-SPIRIT AKA Y.V. who graciously lent them to me for this chapter. Or, not really lent them to me, they have feelings and Killer doesn't like the idea of being owned.
Ave:: @.% Some silly-willy spiked my punchbut punch gooood(falls onto Malik, unconscious)
Malik:: (shakes head sadly) No more wild parties to celebrate spring break for you. (suddenly hears a clunk from the closet) What the-? (opens the door and an unconscious Sanoske *from Ruroni Kenshin*, Vash *from Trigun* and loads of empty Sake bottles fall out)
Sano:: (opens an eye and looks drunkenly at Malik) Hey you blondie gimme some Sake (falls unconscious again)
Vash:: Yummy Sakedangerous toys are fun.
Malik:: 0.0 What the hell are they still doing here? I thought they went home last night with the othersAve?
Ave:: x.x (flop)

We left our little band of adventurers on the road from Domino. Now, we find them
"LOST? XANOS WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE LOST?"
He grinned, glad to see that she was so pissed off.
"WELL?"
"Ave, " the black and red haired bishonen said calmly, "We are not lost. I just said that to get a rise out of you."
"Heh heh you really know how to piss people off successfully, Xanos," Malik mumbled up from the back seat.
"Eh," he shrugged, "It's a talent."
Isis smiled at Ave, who had busted a vein on her forehead and was mopping up blood.
"Dear, you really should not get so mad at him. You know that everything he does it just to make you mad, and if you let it go then we can waste any unnecessary bloodshed"
"But he's such an ASSHOLE!"
"Yes, but that is no reason to get mad at him."
"Has anyone ever told you that you make no sense?"
"My brother has."
"Ah. I see why."
Bakura sat in the back, watching the night sky. Going out this far into the countryside, you could see the stars with no light pollution. It was quiet on the road they were taking, and the woods surrounding them were eerily silent.
"Hey, Albino. We got any food?"
Bakura whirled on Kaiba.
"My names Bakura, you insignificant fool."
"What did you call me?"
"You heard me rich boy."
"You want to fight me?"
"Bring it."
"BOYS," Isis roared, whirling to face the two Chosen, eyes aflame, "NO FIGHTING IN THE BACKSEAT!"
Both were silent.
"IS THAT CLEAR?"
"Hey sis," Malik groaned from the corner where he was huddled in a ball with a blanket over him, "Keep it down some of us are trying to sleep"
"Oh my, I'm sorry. Do you want a blanket?"
"No, I' m fine"
Xanos poked Ave.
"Hey, I think it's time we pulled over. You drive tomorrow."
"Fine," she replied, then went back to ignoring him. Xanos grinned.
"Here we go"
He pulled over to the side of the road, parking the car out of sight. Bakura looked at Ave questioningly.
"How are we all going to fit in the car? I didn't see a tent"
Ave smiled at him, a hint of a smirk hovering on her face.
"There is nothing I can't do with this car. Trust me."
She snapped her fingers and the back of the car flipped out into a huge trailer. Bakura, Kaiba, Isis and Malik (who was half-asleep) stared in shock. Suddenly there was a clunk and Yami tumbled out of the back seat.
"Owww, that hurt damnit" he grumbled, then noticed everyone staring at the car, "Woah."
"Sowhat about beds, an sleeping bags?"
"Oh, don't worry about that, dear!" Ave said cheerfully, snapping her fingers again.
Yami, Malik, Kaiba and Bakura looked into the trailer, and saw 4 queen sized beds lined up, complete with a dresser. Xanos looked at Ave, grinning a bit to see that all her magic had been wiped making the trailer.
"Hey Ave, where's my bed?" He asked, pretending to pout. At her panicked look, he quickly added,
"Maybe I can sleep with you"
*SLAP!*
He rubbed the swollen red mark on his face.
"Maybe not."
Isis grinned at him, patting him on the shoulder and pointing to the trailer where a sleeping bag had just appeared. Xanos looked at Ave, who had collapsed, then went over and picked her up.
"I'll keep her with me, if that's ok with you."
Isis smiled sweetly at him, narrowing her eyes. He noticed this and waved it off.
"Hey, don't worryif she's near another magical being, then her magic is restored quicker."
Isis nodded, and went into the tent next to the trailer where the boys were sleeping. Xanos smiled evilly, watched all the lights turn out then conjured a tent for them to sleep in. As he put Ave down next to him he smiled, brushing her hair away from her face. Then he went to sleep next to her.
~ The next morning
Ave woke to the sound of crickets, next to something warm and soft. She was so comfortable, so she snuggled closer to Xanos XANOS?
"AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"
Bakura, Malik and Kaiba jumped out of bed at Ave's scream. Throwing open the door, they saw Isis hurrying to the tent that was at the edge of the clearing. She threw open the tent flap to reveal a horrified looking Ave, who was clutching a blanket around herself. Xanos sat up and yawned, oblivious to everything. Noticing Ave, he rubbed his eyes, cocked an eyebrow and grinned at her.
"You know Ave, you were great"
Malik, Bakura and Kaiba sniggered hysterically while Isis tried to comfort a very upset Ave.
~ On the road, 30 minutes later
Isis was driving, sitting with Xanos and Malik in the front seat. Xanos was in a very good mood, and he and Malik were snickering over the morning's events while Isis hit them and told them to stop being so heartless. In the backseat, Bakura was trying to comfort Ave, whose horror had been replaced with unspeakable rage. Kaiba and Yami were dueling with a mini duel platform that Kaiba had created especially for road trips.
"That bastard slept with me fuck him that fucking asshole I hope when Boss finds out about this he get sentenced to 1000 years in purgatory"
Bakura sweatdropped.
"Don't think too much into this Ave "
They drove along the winding hills all day, following a map marked with the best places to have Sake. Finally, at about 7 in the evening they arrived at a small bar on the outskirts of Cherrywood City. Isis parked the car on the side of the bar, and they entered, Ave going first and Xanos following last. She walked up to the bar and was greeted with
"AVE! It's been so long! How have you been? We've missed you!"
Ave embraced the biker standing behind the bar.
"I'm ok, considering the fact that I had to sle- I mean, I have to work with an asshole"
Killer (the bartender) looked behind her at the crowd she had brought. A smile slowly spread over his face.
"Well, well. If it isn't Xanos. Such a pleasure to see you again."
Xanos squeezed past Yami and Kaiba, who were still playing Duel Monsters on the portable.
"It's nice to see you too...say, I heard that Uwatari was in the area, is he here by any chance?"
"HEY ROAD KILL! IS UWATARI STILL HANGING AROUND?"
Road Kill looked up from his bottle and his card game that he was playing with Puke, replying,
"YEA, I THINK HE *hic* WENT AROUND BACK TO GET ME A NEW *hic* BOTTLE!"
Killer looked at Xanos.
"You heard him. You can go around back if you want."
Xanos nodded and slipped off. Killer turned to Bakura and Malik.
"Hello boys, what are you doing all the way out here?"
"Ave wants us to go on a 'Quest' or something we're looking for the PERFECT SAKE"
Killer looked at Ave, who shook her head.
"Ah, I seewell, good luck. While you're here though, you can have some Sake on the houseI'll add it to Ave's tab"
She glared at him. He smiled at her.
"I'm just kiddin, hun, don't look so pissed."
"Ave? That you?"
"FRAN! How are you? Are you still seeing"
"Fran is very happy to see Ave! Fran is still seeing Pegasus"
Isis's eyes widened slightly.
"That's great Fran!"
Fran leaned closer to her, whispering,
"Fran no like Uwatari he scares Fran"
Ave smiled sympathetically.
"It's okhe won't hurt you"
Suddenly there was a crash from the back of the bar followed by muffles cursing. Xanos emerged from behind the pile of boxes he had just pushed over onto Uwatari's head.
"I rule. You KNOW it," he smirked. Suddenly a hand shot out from under the boxes and flipped Xanos over. Uwatari jumped out of the boxes and started to beat Xanos.
"OW SHIT THAT HURT! AVE HELP OW ME!"
Ave looked at him.
"Nope. Uwatari, if you would be so kind as to beat the shit out of him for me"
Uwatari grinned.
"Sure! what did he do now?"
"He was a perverted bastard."
"Isn't he always?"
"Trust me. What he did was unforgivable."
Uwatari shrugged, causing Xanos to have a temporary break. Taking this as a tactical advantage, he flipped Uwatari off himselfat Ave. Uwatari landed on her with a crash, then quickly got off her apologizing as he did so. He grabbed a broken chair leg and flung himself at Xanos, who grabbed a table to protect himself. Killer, who was watching all of this, glared at them. Ave noticed this, and snapped her fingers causing them to vanish and all the damage they cause to be reversed.
"Thanks Ave I was goin to add that to yer tab, ya know"
She sweatdropped.
"I figured."
"Heeeeeey Aveeeeee," Malik slurred from next to her, "What did you do wiiiiith Xanossssss and Uwarariiii?"
She grinned.
"Let's just say, they will be falling for a very long time."
~ Meanwhile, somewhere by Niagara Falls
"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!"
"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!"
Xanos waved his arm at Uwatari, and they both vanished a split second before they hit the water, only to reappear on cold wet cement.
"Ow, so much for your brilliant landing"Uwatari mumbled.
"Sorrydamnit. Where are we?" he looked up and saw the sign that said "welcome to Niagara Falls!"
"Shit."
"Why would she dump us so far away?"
Xanos grinned.
"She didn't tell you what I did, did she."
"Nope," Uwatari replied, then looked at his old friend quizzically.
"Heh, she was drained from all the magic she was using, and the only way to recharge her or make her feel better was to be near another magical being. So, I"
Uwatari shook his head.
"You moron. What did you do to that poor girl?"
"I kept her in my tent overnight that's all"
Uwatari looked at him in disbelief, then tried to picture Ave's expression and cracked up laughing.
"I never thought you were so stupid. I knew you were dumb, but that's like suicide!"
"Eh" Xanos smiled, "It was worth it."
~Will Xanos and Uwatari find their way back to THE MANS BAR?
~ Will Ave ever find out that she didn't do anything with Xanos?
~Will Yami and Kaiba EVER stop playing on the portable duel platform?
~Will Malik and Bakura sober up anytime soon?
Please Review! (no flames)
AND THANK YOU Y.V. FOR LETTING ME USE UWATARI AND EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!!
