Bow: Ok, sorry... I know it's been awhile since the first chapter, but
here's the second one. Gomennasai! I was working on my own story.
Dragon: And it's about time. If you want to be an author, you need to work on your own stuff!
Bow: Are you telling me I should stop writing fanfictions? O.O?!
Dragon: NO! NEVER!!! ::tackles her, pinning her to the ground::
Bow: ::slips out from under Dragon. grabs a computer monitor:: Try that again...
Dragon: Ahh! ::cowers:: COMPUTER MONITOR!!!
Bow: ^________^ Heehee. Oh, and I printed off a sheet with some Japanese translations, so if any Japanese words are spelled wrong it's not my fault. But, if I use the word incorrectly, that would be my fault, and I apologise.

The mess hall of camp Lake Flamespring was filled with excited chatter; teenagers talking amungst themselves as they sat at individual tables in small groups. The six boys filled up one side of a table in the following order: Ryou, Yugi, Yami, Jou, Seto, and then Bakura. Yugi seemed to be catching on to the fact that Ryou and Bakura weren't talking to each other, as they were never apart like this, ever. Yugi looked over to Ryou, his violet eyes filled with concern for his friend.
"Ryou...? Is, something wrong?" Yugi asked him quietly.
Ryou looked over to Yugi, forcing a smile. "No, why would you say that, Yugi?"
"It's just-"
"Attention everyone! Hello? Is this thing on?" Ms. Nani asked into her microphone, the croud wincing and letting out a cry of pain as a high- pitched wave of sound radiated from the speakers.
"Sorry," she mumbled. "Alright, I have here the list of who will be in which cabins. There will be three to a cabin, and there will be no mixing of boys and girls whatsoever. Also, the cabin assignments are final, so there will be no switching."
This was met with exclamations of anger, which included Yami and Seto.
"What?! But, what if we don't get put in the same cabin together?!" Seto exclaimed with alarm, looking over at Jounouchi with wide sapphire eyes.
"I won't sleep in any cabin that Yugi isn't in," Yami growled angrily.
"Quiet! Everyone, I said quiet!" Ms. Nani demanded, hitting the microphone until the teens quieted down. "Alright. Girls will be on the East side of the camp in cabins 1 through 5, boys on the West in cabins 6 through 10. Right, so..."
Ms. Nani then began listing off names, most assignments recieving cries of irritation in response when they were not assigned with their friends. Then, she came to the last two cabins, and only the six boys were remaining. The odds were in their favor of at least one of them being bunked with their koi.
"In cabin 9, will be Yugi Motou, Ryou Bakura, and Jounouchi Katsuya."
"WHAT?!" The trio exlaimed, aghast.
"NO WAY!!!" Yami, Bakura, and Jou yelled, infuriated. All of them were seperated, and what was worse, they would have to share cabin 10 together.
Bakura was mad because he would be with Yami, Yami didn't want to share a room with Bakura, and Seto was afraid he'd get killed by the crossfire between the two Egyptians.
"But, Yami..." Yugi whimpered, looking up at the taller version of himself with sorrow-filled eyes. Ever since Yami had come into his life, they had never slept in seperate beds, let alone be apart. Indeed, the first night they had spent together, Yami had held him in his arms, even if it was for the base reason that Yugi needed warmth.
"Seto..." Jou mumbled unhappily. He was used to spending nights alone, as he and Seto lived apart. But he had hoped that since Seto was also on this trip that they would be together.
"Enough! You're on this trip to have fun, and it will be rather hard to do that if all of you are complaining. Now, everyone go find their luggage outside and take it to your assigned cabin," Ms. Nani ordered, her voice slightly tight as her irritation began to show. "But! Before you go, I have to introduce you to two more adults that will be helping you these two weeks. The woman in charge of the girls would be Miss Naze. And the man in charge of the boys will be Mr. Dare."
Ms. Nani gestured to two very kind-looking adults behind her. Miss Naze was most likely in her early twenties, and seemed a bit nervous. This was most likely her first time helping to run a camp like this. Mr. Dare, however, seemed quite cool, and had an air of self-assurance about him.
The teens grumbled unhappily, trudging out of the mess hall, hoping, praying to Kami-sama that the two weeks at camp Lake Firespring would improve.
~*~*~
Dragon: What the hell did you name those poor people?!
Bow: ::grins:: Okay, for those who don't know Japanese, Nani means 'what', Naze means 'why', and Dare means 'which'.
Dragon: O.o?()...
Bow: Oh hush. They're adult characters that don't play a major role. And it's a funny play on words.
Dragon: -.-()...
Bow: Okay, back to our poor six boys that are totally depressed right now! Well, three of them anyway... they're kinda seperated...
Dragon: Duh!
Bow: !!! ::chases after Dragon with a computer monitor::
~*~*~
Yugi flopped back onto his bed with a heavy sigh, hugging his Duel Monsters plushies to him as he stared up at the ceiling. Today they were to be staying in their cabins, getting to know their cabin-mates until dinner, which was in a few hours. No one was allowed to leave their assigned cabins unless there was an emergency. But, Yugi knew the others, and all of them were in no mood to talk. They had collectively decided to just try and take a nap or something until they were free. He wanted to be with Yami, but he couldn't, not until dinner. Could this trip possibly get any worse?! It was bad enough that he was seperated from Hyoui, Kidea, and the others, but Yami too?! Yami's gods must hate him...
Ryou, too, had his eyes fixed upon the cobweb-lined ceiling, his arms crossed over his chest. He was thankful that he was with friends, as being with anyone but them would have been even worse then the situation currently was. But, depspite the fight he had with Bakura, he didn't want to be in a seperate room then the yami. They, too, had never been apart since they were linked, and he felt... alone. But, despite how much he wanted to talk to Bakura through their link, he wanted to teach him a lesson. He needed to stop critisizing him so much! Yelling at him, calling him names... Bakura knew how much that hurt him!
Jou was just angry. He sat cross-legged on his bed, glaring at everything in sight. He glared at the walls, he glared at his bed, he glared at the cobwebs. He just glared. He wanted to be with Seto, and he felt it entirely unfair that they were assigned cabins, let alone be forced to stay into them for then next few hours. He didn't mind being with Yugi and Ryou, they were his friends, but he wanted to be with his koi! A mild streak of jealousy ran through his blood. They had their mind-links... They could talk to one another any time they wanted to. He and Seto didn't have that... But they were his friends, and it wasn't their fault that they were linked by the Millennium Items.
Yugi slipped slowly into a light sleep, Ryou thought to himself silently, deciding what to do about his fight with Bakura, and Jou glared as they waited...
~*~*~
"THIS IS MY BED! I CLAMIED IT FIRST!" Bakura crossed his arms over his chest, giving Yami a fierce glare as he stood at the foot of the bed to the far left of the cabin.
"NO! I SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT!" Yami shouted back, approaching the tomb robber from the doorway.
"There's another bed on the other side of the cabin!" Bakura growled.
"So why don't you take it!"
"I'm taking this one!"
"Are not, because I am!"
Seto Kaiba sweatdropped as he stood in the doorway, afraid to move as it might direct their anger at him. He would wait and take the remaining bed after they settled their feud. He had seen what they could do with those Shadow Magics, and he didn't particularly want to be Mind Crushed by Yami or have his soul stolen by Bakura.
"Don't mess with me, Pharaoh... I'm already on a short fuse," Bakura growled warningly, fists clenched as he brought his hands down to his sides.
"Yeah? Well so am I, tomb robber. So, unless you want to invoke my anger, I suggest that you back off," Yami growled back.
"You don't scare me."
"You took the words right out of my mouth..."
Golden eyes appeared on both yamis' foreheads, and their eyes fixed upon one another's dangerously. A dark purple aura surrounded each one, licking at their bodies like flames. Seto went rigid. He knew what this meant, and the outcome wouldn't be good for either Yugi or Ryou if he didn't do something. He stepped forward quickly, standing between them.
"Yami! Bakura! Stop! Think about Yugi and Ryou! You don't want to kill each other over a bed do you?" Seto exclaimed.
Bakura and Yami stopped dead in their tracks, both the golden eyes and the auras dissapearing quickly. They paused.
"Now, how about this. I'll take this bed, Yami, you take the center, and Bakura can take the one on the right. Okay?" Seto asked cautiously. He could be assured that he wouldn't be dead in the morning if Bakura was on the other side of the room from him. He didn't have that assurance otherwise.
Both were silent as they thought it over. Perhaps they were a little on edge, and losing Yugi and Ryou... They wouldn't be able to tolerate the afterlife without them. Yami and Bakura moved over to their suggested beds, setting their suitcases at the foot of each one.
The sapphire-eyed brunette let out a sigh of relief, flopping onto his bed. Well, he had averted that death-invoking disaster. He was getting good! Unfortunately, he had much practice with defusing such situations as this...
~*~*~
An hour later, another heated battle was ensuing.
"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS!!!"
"Bakura, why aren't you and Ryou talking?!" Yami demanded the albino, arms crossed over his chest.
"Didn't you hear me?! Back off and get your nose out of my buisness, Yami!" Bakura shouted angrily, sitting back against the wall from his perch on his bed.
"Just answer the question!" Yami growled.
Seto tried his hardest to seem interested in the ceiling, but it just wasn't working. He had tried to convince Mr. Dare that there was an emergency and he needed to go see Jou, but unfortunately he was found out and sent back to find the two yamis in heated battle. He had then found out that cobwebs also formed interesting shapes like clouds. He had already found one which looked like a puppy, but of course, that reminded him of Jou...
"No! It has nothing to do with you!" Bakura roared.
"He's Yugi's friend, it has something to do with me!" Yami yelled back at him.
"I don't care!" Bakura shouted, laying down on his side so that he was facing towards the wall.
"Why is it so hard to answer the question?!" Yami demanded.
Bakura gave no answer. He stared at the wall, seething as unknowingly, tears collected in his eyes. Why did Ryou have to do this to him? This is why he had given up on love, because of things like this. But, then he had met Ryou, and he couldn't help but fall for him... But now. Now he had caused the angelic boy to turn away from him in anger. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he crossed his arms tightly over his chest.
"Bakura, don't you turn your back on your Pharaoh!" Yami growled darkly, rising from his bed.
Seto's eyes widened. He had never heard Yami use his title against anyone, not ever. Yami was worried about what was going on between Ryou and Bakura, because it would also affect his Aibou if something was wrong. And if that was the case, he wanted to know beforehand.
Bakura shot upright, turning on Yami to face him, eyes narrowed dangerously. "What, using your title on me now, Pharaoh?!" He spat, not realizing that tears were falling from his eyes.
Yami stepped backwards, stumbling on his bed and falling back onto it out of shock. "Bakura? Are you... crying?"
Bakura's eyes widened, and he rose a hand to his face, feeling his wet cheeks. He wiped the tears away feverishly, looking away from Yami. "It's nothing..."
"It's something, Bakura. I have never seen you cry before, past or present," Yami mumbled worriedly. Bakura was his friend, despite the repeated attempts to kill and maim him.
"Ryou and I had a fight, alright?!" Bakura shouted, laying back on his side away from Yami.
"Bakura-"
"Leave me alone!" Bakura growled.
Yami closed his mouth, looking over at Seto for help. Seto shook his head, and closed his eyes. Yami sighed, laying back against his pillow to stare up at the ceiling. What... was Yugi doing right now? Was he talking to Ryou, perhaps? He and his hikari were going to have to fix this problem before it grew...
~*~*~
