Summer Fun
By: ~*starflower*~ a.k.a Mizuriu
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh! Again, not a Yaoi. Here's the second chapter, if it makes ya all happy! ^^* And to candi-hyper laughaholic, thank you for Tristen's last name. Ok! On ward with the chapter! Err, a word of warning. Swearing words involved. But then, does that really make a difference?
~*~
"WHAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!? YOU MEAN THAT JERK, CREEPY KAIBA!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Joey Wheeler screamed out furiously, making everyone in the shop jump and stare at the group of friend's table.
"Joey! Shut your big mouth and si' down!!" Tristen Taylor hissed, yanking the blonde down by the collar as he tried not to make his friend too noticeable.
The other people in the store looked on for a little while more before huffing and going back to what they were doing before the sudden outburst made by the child. Yugi, Téa, and Ryou glanced nervously at the crowd, making sure no one was going to come at them and throw them out before turning back to a growling Joey and a mad Tristen,
"Why the hell did you have to shout like that!?" The brown haired teenaged boy, Tristen sneered.
"Well, then why the fuck does that bastard have to come with us!?" Joey bit back angrily.
"Calm down, Joey. It's the least we can do fa' him since he aided us in defeatin' Pegasus." The white haired teen, Ryou Bakura put in.
"Oh! Deafendin' for dat jerk, ah? Don' cha rememba dat he was turned into a card?" Joey glared at the other boy.
"No, I'm just sayin-" But Ryou was interrupted by a familiar female voice,
"My, my, my, Joseph. I never knew you was that mad at Mr. Kaiba." The voice mocked.
Téa turned her head sharply, "Mai?"
Upon hearing this, Joey completely long forgot about his anger and about Seto Kaiba, and a grin came to his face as his brown eyes lit up, while he could feel his heart quicken with skipping beats. But at the same time, it somewhat hurts. To counter act that, he was more than happy to have the longhaired blonde, Mai Valentine, near him, even if it's just a few yards. Waving a hand, he signaled the violet eyed female over to they're table,
"Hey, Mai! We were jus' ta'kin about ya. Com' sit wit us." Joey invited her.
The other female waltzed over to their table and sat down next to Joey with that playful grin on her red lips, "So, what's goin' on?" She asked curiously, glancing at the other blonde beside her, something lingering in her gaze. She raised a brow at a silly snicker danced by the boy beside her.
"Well, Mai.do ya have anyting planned for your vacation?" Joey smiled widely.
All Téa could do was beam at the site, not really wanting to say anything. But then, she felt something strange as she saw how her friend Joey was looking towards Mai.was it jealousy? 'No! No way! I can't be jealous!!' Indeed that's what she thought, but it was the truth at the same time. Sighing sadly as she accepted the fact, Téa scooped another spoon full of her ice cream before sliding it into her mouth. But she couldn't help but wonder: what would it be like to have someone to look forward to?
The violet -eyed girl shook her head, "Nothing I have in mind. Why do you ask?"
Joey grinned more widely, "Well.do ya wanna come with us to Hawaii?"
At this the golden blonde's eyes stared in disbelief at him for a while, not really paying attention to what he was saying. Then her eyes widened as her head snapped toward the teen, "Wh-what? Really!?" The way Mai asked and the way she looked like she wanted to strangle the poor boy to get the truth, to say the least, she couldn't help but hope.
All she needed was a nod, a simple nod, and she got it. And for a minute, she almost did strangle Joey, "Oh my gosh!!!!!! You mean it!?" Mai burst out.
"Whoa! Easy, Mai! Of course it's true!" Joey laughed, trying to hold the hands of the girl back from his throat.
"Oh! I've always wanted to go to Hawaii! Ever since I was a little girl!" Mai squealed.
At this, Tristen leaned over to his right towards Ryou, bringing his voice down to a whisper, "Is there gonna be another one of those flash backs?"
The white haired teen jerked his head up at the boy, "Tristen!" He hissed warningly.
"Oh my! I'm going to Hawaii!!" Mai laughed carelessly.
Everyone sweat dropped a little. "At least she's honest." Yugi quietly muttered, taking another sip of his soda.
"Buuuuuuuuut.ders jus' one problem," Joey said, while holding up a finger to emphasize his saying.
"What?" Mai snapped out of her day dream state.
The brown eyed boy smiled nervously before faltering, "We gotta invite Kaiba and his brotha."
Mai stared again before almost shouting like Joey did moments before, "What!? We have to bring him along!? That's a bummer. But," She looked up, "When do we have to leave?"
"The day after tomorrow. I'm waiting for a letter to come in the mail from my friend for the tickets and the time of departure. So I'm not sure yet." Téa spoke up, finishing another spoon full of her mint chocolate ice cream.
"Hmm.so, now we have to figure out how to ask Kaiba, right?" Yugi piped up, looking over at the brown haired female beside him. This position was a little awkward, but somewhat comforting and soothing just to have her presence around him was enough to ease his mind. He could feel an opening being connected to his eyes from inside, suddenly knowing that his other half, Yami, was watching the scene through Yugi's sites as his counter part struck up a conversation:
\\What's going on, abiou?\\ Yami asked the young child.
\A trip we're planning.\ Yugi smiled at the curiosity sent his way, knowing the King of Games couldn't resist asking a question to know more.
\\Oh? Where to may I ask?\\ Yami inquired.
\A place where I always wanted to go all my years.\ The boy teased and played with the other's mind, just for the fun of it.
\\You realize that you're avoiding the question, abiou.\\ By that tone Yami used, Yugi immediately knew he was not amused, but couldn't help laughing silently to himself.
\\I heard that.\\
\Oh, Yami! Lighten up! Anyways, you are to come with us if you want. But you'll have to hide in the puzzle.\ Yugi laughed, purposely letting the older him know of his childish snickers.
\\Do I even have a choice?\\
\Yes.\
\\Doesn't sound like it.\\
\Yami!\
\\.fine.it wouldn't hurt to go.\\ Yami finally sighed in defeat. Suddenly he felt something from the adolescent and he raised a royal brow at it,
\\And what are you smiling about?\\
Yugi laughed inwardly, \Nothing. Anyways, I'll talk with you later when we get back home.\ And with a nod from the other presence, the conversation ended, but the connection stayed open for Yami to see, while Yugi was brought back to reality, meeting a hand waving in front of his face that almost made him fall off his chair,
"He-llooooooooo!!!!! Yugi! Hey! Anyone home!?" The familiar Brooklyn accent called out.
Playfully the youngest boy swatted the hand away with a grin, "Easy, Joey! I don't want to be crossed eyed. I was just talking to Yami." Yugi chuckled a little.
"Well, we we're just talking the whole plan on this Kaiba stuff, and." Joey trailed off, staring at one of his best friend in the eye.
".aaaand, what?" Yugi pried, suddenly not liking the look he was getting from the shorthaired blonde.
"And we came to a conclusion."
"And?" The boy cried a little.
"That we have absolutely no idea." Joey replied.
Yugi face faulted off his seat and face down to the floor to hear this. Then hurrying back up, leaning on the table with both hands, "So then what? You want me to think up something?"
"You're the brains, Yug!" Joey winked.
"Yay for me." Yugi said flatly as a sweat dropped down his head.
Téa giggled, "Well, this is not the first time Joey doesn't have anything."
"I'll take dat as a complament." Joey joked along.
"So, Yugi, what should we do?" Tristen looked over to the child.
The gold banged male sat for a while, thinking with his small fingers on his chin. Not a moment later did he look up to the anxious group, "Why not ask Mokuba?"
"Yeah." Ryou nodded as he started following what Yugi was saying, "And then he can ask Kaiba for us. Besides, it's his brother, so Kaiba would probably listen to him and give us an answer. More or less."
"And what's that suppose to mean?" Mai asked.
The white haired teen just smiled, "Just a figure of speech."
"Ok, who's up for it?" Joey looked around the table.
Silence.
"C'mon people's!"
Tea glanced to her right side, seeing a flash of purple before a swish of gold. At this, she just had to smile a little, but not moments later did she lightly tap him on the shoulder with a gentle nudge. The boy looked up with a query look in his eyes at her, only to receive a side grin from her. Throwing her a lopsided smile, he turned to the group nodding,
"I'll go." Yugi voted.
"Alright, Yug!" Joey praised, patting his hands on the boy's small shoulders proudly before gabbing his head under his arms and ruffling the spiked child's hair, despite the sudden protests, "Aw! He's so brave!!" The blonde mocked playfully.
"Ah! Hey! Joey! Stop! Agh! C'mon, Joey!" The young adolescent cried out with a few laughs himself.
The rest of the group laughed at the two's childish frolic. Suddenly Mai leaned over to Téa, whispering enough for the other girl to her by covering the side of her mouth so the others won't hear, "Must be a guy thing."
The brown haired girl could only laugh out loud. But then she gasped and looked at her right wrist to her blue watch, slapping her head lightly. This caught everyone's attention, "Crap! It's getting late! I need to get home before my parents bust my butt!" And with a swift flick of her hands towards her bag, she was running out the glass doors in a flash, giving her friends a farewell wave as she went,
"See you guys later!!" Téa shouted and sprinted out the door and down the walkways before anyone could say a word.
"Sheesh," Joey said as he scratched his head, "What's da rush? It's like she's unda curfew, or somethin'."
"Speaking of curfew, I gotta get going too! I'm suppose to be home at 6:30 and its 6:29! Ho man! My parents are gonna kill me!!" Tristen suddenly grabbed his bag and started running for the door in sudden fear, then he stopped for a while, waving a quick hand at them, "I'll call you when the worst is over!! See ya!!!" And with that, he frantically ran down the sidewalk as fast as his lanky legs could take him.
The remaining bodies just stared out the flopping doors. Then suddenly Joey spoke up, wiggling both of his index fingers while snickering in a singing voice, "Tristen's unda curfew, Tristen's unda curfew, Tristen's unda curfew, Tristen's unda curfew, Tris-"
"Shut it, Joey!" Mai said while lightly slapping him on the arm.
The brown-eyed blonde pretended to be hurt and clutch at his arm in mock pain, "Ow! She broke my arm! Ow! She broke my wittl' arm!"
"You'll get more than a broken bone if you don't shut up." The violet-eyed girl warned as she crossed her arms. To say the least, she was annoyed, but at the same time, she wanted to laugh about it. Not really wondering why, but then was satisfied when Joey quickly quieted down.
Ryou and Yugi just looked at each other with nervous smiles before moving out of their seats, "I think I'll go call Mokuba now, so I'll see you guys around when I get an answer. Bye!" Yugi smiled and walked out of the store with a lagging Ryou who was saying his farewells to the remaining two.
"Bye, Yugi!" Ryou waved to the boy as they went they're separate ways.
"Bye, Ryou!" And with that finally said, Yugi almost happily skipped down the cement, careful as not to bump into the rushing people that whirled passed him. But then he suddenly mistepped and just almost fell on his face when a sudden voice quipped up,
\\What was that all about?\\
\Agh.Yami! Don't do that! You scare me when you do!\ Yugi breathed as he regained his footing and this time, walking carefully so as not to make another mistake.
\\Sorry.\\ then there was a pause, \\Where are we going in two days?\\ Yami asked.
\You'll see. Just be patient.\ The boy smiled as he passed the many stores of the town that show cased all sorts of items.
\\Again with the vague, abiou? All right, I'll play along. Just don't-\\ then he stopped.
Yugi halted as he came to the shop, standing still at the front door, his small hand levitating in mid reach. He furrowed his brow at this, \What's the matter, Yami?\
There was a long, still and silent pause filled with emptiness and a lingering void that started to gnaw at the pit of the young boy's stomach with each passing quiet second.
\Yami?\
Finally, there came a reply,
\\Nothing, abiou. If you don't mind, I will take my walk now.\\ And with that said, a sudden aura glowed on Yugi's puzzle's eye. It grew and expanded, making the boy shut his eyes from the brightness for this temporary time. The light jumped and landed on the ground in front of him, growing taller and taller until it was just about towering Yugi by inches or so. Finally the light faded and gradually disappeared, revealing a tall and broad replica of Yugi dressed in the same blue jacket and jeans that the young boy wore. Besides the fashion, the mature features is what told these two apart. This male had dark amethyst orbs, narrowed to enhance the mysterious depths and on his head were crowned gold bangs, only more pointed. But something was amiss, his eyes looked troubled and the air that surrounded him was heavy with uncertain silence with a hint of an icy bitterness of doubt.
Yugi faced the new teen, the feeling of concern tugging at his mind, ".Yami?"
The young man, Yami Yugi, glanced up as he shuffled his hands into his pockets, but offering a small smile for the child for his consideration towards his other half, "It's nothing, Yugi. I just need time to think, so I won't be back until 10. You go call Mokuba, and I'll be on my way." Then he turned and started walking away.
This action and words from his partner shocked Yugi, but said nothing, knowing with that tone of voice, he knew instantly that Yami did not want to be disturbed. But his innocent eyes deceived him, speaking the words he so longed to ask as they traveled with the retreating form until the body disappeared down the gray stone walk way.
Finally sighing, Yugi turned back to the door in front of him and walked inside, proceeding to talk this trip over with Mokuba. To say the least, he knew what was the answer from what the younger boy would say, and it made Yugi excited all over again, although the question still stayed for Yami at the back of his mind.
What was wrong with him?
~*~
Téa lay smiling on her bed, her excitement bubbling over with joy that she couldn't help but giggle to herself. Knowing that her summer would be fun along with everyone else.
Reaching over to her nightstand, she groped for something in particular. Giving a triumph "ah-hah!", she grabbed it with her fingers and pulled it toward her so she could look at the item she acquired from the table, she let her blue eyes gaze at the photo that stared right back at her.
Two girls were smiling and seemingly laughing at a good time they had. One had short brown clean-cut hair with cheerful blue eyes that was no mistake it was Téa herself. Then her eyes trailed further down the picture to meet soft brown shinning eyes with wavy light brown hair up in a ponytail that looked red in the sun's bright light if the rays hit the right spot, and it reached down to the girl's small shoulder that indicated to both these females that they were of young age.
Téa's smile widened, 'This was 3 years ago when I was 13 and Hoshi was just turning 11.I wonder how she looks now?'
She was so buried in her thoughts that she could not see or sense a pair of dark purple eyes watching her from down below in the streets through the open window. His brows furrowed in deep worry as gold bangs flailed in the hot passing summer winds, but that didn't waver this one's gaze as Yami thought deeply,
'I feel something.something out of place.and this energy seems to be mostly surrounding Téa.what could it all mean.?'

"WHAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!? YOU MEAN THAT JERK, CREEPY KAIBA!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Joey Wheeler screamed out furiously, making everyone in the shop jump and stare at the group of friend's table.

"Calm down, Joey. It's the least we can do fa' him since he aided us in defeatin' Pegasus." The white haired teen, Ryou Bakura put in.
"Oh! Deafendin' for dat jerk, ah? Don' cha rememba dat he was turned into a card?" Joey glared at the other boy.
"No, I'm just sayin-" But Ryou was interrupted by a familiar female voice,

Mai stared again before almost shouting like Joey did moments before, "What!? We have to bring him along!? That's a bummer. But," She looked up, "When do we have to leave?"
"The day after tomorrow. I'm waiting for a letter to come in the mail from my friend for the tickets and the time of departure. So I'm not sure yet." Téa spoke up, finishing another spoon full of her mint chocolate ice cream.

Tristen suddenly grabbed his bag and started running for the door in sudden fear, then he stopped for a while, waving a quick hand at them, "I'll call you when the worst is over!! See ya!!!" And with that, he frantically ran down the sidewalk as fast as his lanky legs could take him.
The remaining bodies just stared out the flopping doors. Then suddenly Joey spoke up, wiggling both of his index fingers while snickering in a singing voice, "Tristen's unda curfew, Tristen's unda curfew, Tristen's unda curfew, Tristen's unda curfew, Tris-"
"Shut it, Joey!" Mai said while lightly slapping him on the arm.
The brown-eyed blonde pretended to be hurt and clutch at his arm in mock pain, "Ow! She broke my arm! Ow! She broke my wittl' arm!"
"You'll get more than a broken bone if you don't shut up." The violet-eyed girl warned as she crossed her arms. To say the least, she was annoyed, but at the same time, she wanted to laugh about it. Not really wondering why, but then was satisfied when Joey quickly quieted down.
Ryou and Yugi just looked at each other with nervous smiles before moving out of their seats, "I think I'll go call Mokuba now, so I'll see you guys around when I get an answer. Bye!" Yugi smiled and walked out of the store with a lagging Ryou who was saying his farewells to the remaining two.
"Bye, Yugi!" Ryou waved to the boy as they went they're separate ways.
"Bye, Ryou!" And with that finally said, Yugi almost happily skipped down the cement, careful as not to bump into the rushing people that whirled passed him. But then he suddenly mistepped and just almost fell on his face when a sudden voice quipped up,
\\What was that all about?\\
\Agh.Yami! Don't do that! You scare me when you do!\ Yugi breathed as he regained his footing and this time, walking carefully so as not to make another mistake.
\\Sorry.\\ then there was a pause, \\Where are we going in two days?\\ Yami asked.
\You'll see. Just be patient.\ The boy smiled as he passed the many stores of the town that show cased all sorts of items.
\\Again with the vague, abiou? All right, I'll play along. Just don't-\\ then he stopped.
Yugi halted as he came to the shop, standing still at the front door, his small hand levitating in mid reach. He furrowed his brow at this, \What's the matter, Yami?\
There was a long, still and silent pause filled with emptiness and a lingering void that started to gnaw at the pit of the young boy's stomach with each passing quiet second.
\Yami?\
Finally, there came a reply,
\\Nothing, abiou. If you don't mind, I will take my walk now.\\ And with that said, a sudden aura glowed on Yugi's puzzle's eye. It grew and expanded, making the boy shut his eyes from the brightness for this temporary time. The light jumped and landed on the ground in front of him, growing taller and taller until it was just about towering Yugi by inches or so. Finally the light faded and gradually disappeared, revealing a tall and broad replica of Yugi dressed in the same blue jacket and jeans that the young boy wore. Besides the fashion, the mature features is what told these two apart. This male had dark amethyst orbs, narrowed to enhance the mysterious depths and on his head were crowned gold bangs, only more pointed. But something was amiss, his eyes looked troubled and the air that surrounded him was heavy with uncertain silence with a hint of an icy bitterness of doubt.
Yugi faced the new teen, the feeling of concern tugging at his mind, ".Yami?"
The young man, Yami Yugi, glanced up as he shuffled his hands into his pockets, but offering a small smile for the child for his consideration towards his other half, "It's nothing, Yugi.

This action and words from his partner shocked Yugi, but said nothing, knowing with that tone of voice, he knew instantly that Yami did not want to be disturbed. But his innocent eyes deceived him, speaking the words he so longed to ask as they traveled with the retreating form until the body disappeared down the gray stone walk way.
Finally sighing, Yugi turned back to the door in front of him and walked inside, proceeding to talk this trip over with Mokuba. To say the least, he knew what was the answer from what the younger boy would say, and it made Yugi excited all over again, although the question still stayed for Yami at the back of his mind.
What was wrong with him?
~*~
Téa lay smiling on her bed, her excitement bubbling over with joy that she couldn't help but giggle to herself. Knowing that her summer would be fun along with everyone else.
Reaching over to her nightstand, she groped for something in particular. Giving a triumph "ah-hah!", she grabbed it with her fingers and pulled it toward her so she could look at the item she acquired from the table, she let her blue eyes gaze at the photo that stared right back at her.
Two girls were smiling and seemingly laughing at a good time they had. One had short brown clean-cut hair with cheerful blue eyes that was no mistake it was Téa herself. Then her eyes trailed further down the picture to meet soft brown shinning eyes with wavy light brown hair up in a ponytail that looked red in the sun's bright light if the rays hit the right spot, and it reached down to the girl's small shoulder that indicated to both these females that they were of young age.
Téa's smile widened, 'This was 3 years ago when I was 13 and Hoshi was just turning 11.I wonder how she looks now?'
She was so buried in her thoughts that she could not see or sense a pair of dark purple eyes watching her from down below in the streets through the open window. His brows furrowed in deep worry as gold bangs flailed in the hot passing summer winds, but that didn't waver this one's gaze as Yami thought deeply,
'I feel something.something out of place.and this energy seems to be mostly surrounding Téa.what could it all mean.?'
