Rowan: For the heck of it I'm writing Chapter 2 of "CinderRyou."
Sakura: And like we promised, there'll be more characters.
Ryou: You mean more people besides myself for you to torture?
Rowan: ^____^ Yup!
YGO Cast: Oh joy.
Rowan: Don't you want to be in my story?
YGO Cast: NO!
Rowan: Sheesh, no appreciation for hard-working authoresses and their yamis.
Isis: I appreciate you.
Rowan: That's cuz you're not in my story.
Isis: True. That and you made Malik a cross-dresser.
Malik: Must you mention that?
Isis: Yes! You look ridiculous and it's great blackmail!
*Malik glares at Isis, then whips out his Mllm. Rod *
Malik: Take that back sister or else!
Isis: You wouldn't!
Malik: Yes, I would!
Isis: But I don't have my Mllm. Item anymore!
Malik: That's your fault for being such a baka and giving it away!
Isis: Take that back!
*Malik and Isis start a fist fight *
Rest of YGO Cast, Rowan, and Sakura: ~___^U
Rowan: Anyways, one with the story?
Disclaimer: Don't own YGO! If I did, I'd be a character!
YGO Cast: So we're very glad she doesn't.
Rowan: Hey!
Warning: Shounen-ai, possible cursing, cross-dressing, and Anzu-bashing. (Actually, the Anzu-bashing and cursing go hand in hand.)
Anyway, enjoy!
Previously:
"Well, old Honda Hiroto, current CEO of HirotoCorps, is holding a party tomorrow night because he wants his son Seto to marry. Oh if only I could go. I know that he would fall instantly in love with me…" Malik said with a dreamy voice.
"And he's rich, right?"
"Yes, rich as the Ancient Pharaohs of Egypt."
"Well then, I suppose you can go to this party Malik."
Malik jumped for joy. "Really? Yea!" Malik ran back upstairs, beckoning for Ryou to follow him. "C'mon Ryou! You have to help me get ready!"
Ryou walked up the stairs after Malik. 'Oh joy. This is gonna be fun…'
CinderRyou
Chapter 2
'Oh joy. This is gonna be fun. A party in Domino at Honda Hiroto's house. I sooo look forward to it.' Shizuka Katsuya thought sullenly. (Wow, lots of my characters are sullen. Must find new word.) But all she said was, "So, when is it brother?"
Jounouchi Katsuya, the CEO of the most prominent business of Kyoto looked over at his younger sister. "Tonight. Apparently old Honda wants his son and heir Seto to find a wife. Do you wish to go?"
'Hell no! I don't want to marry some stuffy old CEO's son!' "Whatever makes you happy brother."
Jounouchi smiled. "I was hoping you would say that. Sister, I would be very appreciative if you would win Honda's son. His business could help ours tremendously. If you and Seto married, a merge with them would help immensely. So I want you to look your best tonight. Alright?"
Shizuka nodded her head. "Yes brother, I understand."
"Thank you."
Shizuka sighed. 'I wonder what tonight'll be like…'
---*---
"I wonder what tonight'll be like. I mean, at first, I had scorned that party, but seeing Master Malik so excited about it and all, I kinda wish I could go too." Ryou sighed mournfully. "Well, tonight it'll just be you, me, and Yami. Yup, we'll have the house to ourselves. You'd like that, wouldn't you Yuugi?"
The little white mouse called Yuugi (Yuugi: I'm a mouse?! Rowan: ^_____^!) just nibbled on the piece of cheese his human friend had offered him and squeaked cutely. Ryou grinned down on his little friend. "You think I should go to the party?" he asked. Yuugi bobbed his head up and down excitedly. (Ryou: Wait, I'm talking to the mouse? Yuugi: Excuse me, but I'm right here y'know!) "Really? Why?" Yuugi squeaked some more. Ryou nodded his head in understanding. "Because you think I'll find happiness there?" Yuugi nodded.
Now, while Ryou didn't find talking to the mouse the least bit odd, to the casual observer he looked slightly insane. That was not the case at all, for Ryou had spent enough time in that attic to have become familiarized with the mouse's squeaks and movements. Also, he got the same feeling when around the little rodent as he did around the rowan trees. He felt that somehow this mouse was connected to his mother's spirit, and Ryou cherished that feeling.
"Well, what does Yami think?" Ryou asked. Yuugi quickly ran into his little home in the wall and returned shortly after with a black mouse. Ryou posed his question to the new arrival, who squeaked with the exact same manner as he friend. "So you think that I should go to the party as well? Why?" More squeaks. "Because my mother wills it? Alright then, if mom wants me to go, I'll ask Master Bakura for permission, though he probably won't grant it." Ryou got up from his rickety bed that he had been sitting on. "Here goes nothing…"
---*---
'Here goes nothing.' Seto, with lots of encouragement from Ryuuji and his brother Mokuba, thought determinedly as he walked into his father's study. 'I'll tell him now, before the party. I have to.'
"Father, I need to speak with you!" Seto said loudly as he entered the room.
"Not now son. I'm very busy at the moment. And besides, you need to get ready for the party!"
"That's what I wanted to talk about Father. You see, I'm g-"
"Look, Seto, m'boy, I really can't talk right now. I'm busy. Now, go get ready! Now!"
"Yes Father. Whatever you say." Seto walked out of the study, defeated. 'Guess I better get ready for the party.'
As Seto walked back to his room, he was joined by Ryuuji and Mokuba. "So, did you tell him?"
"No, I didn't get a chance to. But he'll find out soon enough, won't he?"
Mokuba and Ryuuji nodded their agreement. "The whole of Japan will know by the end of the end of the night," Seto's raven-haired sibling remarked.
They walked in silence for a time before Ryuuji spoke. "Say, Seto, it won't be too bad. Malik Ishtal, with his co-CEOs Marik and Bakura, will be there. I hear he too likes guys, so maybe he'd be interested. I hear he's quite handsome."
Seto let this information sink in. "Interesting. Maybe we will hook up. I'll have to watch for him at the party." They reached Seto's quarters then, so they said good-bye and left Seto to change. As Seto put on his tuxedo, he thought about what was going to happen that evening. He walked to the ballroom to greet the guests, not knowing what to expect…
---*---*---*---
Rowan: So, what do you think? Shizuka is being forced to go to the party, Seto knows about Malik, and Yami and Yuugi are mice.
Yami: Wait, I'm a mouse?
Yuugi: Yeah, join the club.
Sakura: Ah, Yami's so cute as a mouse!
Yami: Eep! Don't touch me!
Sakura: *picks Yami up and starts stroking him *
Yami: Put me down! I'm feeling very vulnerable as it is!
Rowan: Sakura, put Yami down!
Sakura: Demo-
Rowan: NOW!
Sakura: *grumbles as she puts Yami down *
Rowan: Good. Now, Yami, Yuugi, I want you two to sing this song to the tune of "Three Blind Mice."
Yuugi: That's not funny.
Rowan: What, there's only two of you.
Yami: Still, that's cruel.
Rowan: If you don't, I'll let Sakura pet you again.
Yami: No! Don't let her touch me!
Rowan: Then sing! And in 'micey' voices too.
Yami and Yuugi: Reviews are nice
Reviews are sweet
Give me lots
And you'll get a treat
What it is I don't know
But if you don't review
You won't know as well
Maybe Ryou'll be a mouse too!
Ryou: No you don't!
Yami and Yuugi: We haven't finished yet! Eh hem
So please review
For pity's sake
We love reviews
And we also like cake!
Rowan: Aw, so cute! Thanks guys!
Yami: *whispers to Yuugi * That was the worst song ever.
Yuugi: Yeah.
Rowan: I heard that! Now, apologize!
Yuugi and Yami: Sorry! Please review!
Thank yous:
Promise: Glad you like it! I aim to please! Hope you found this chapter just as funny!
Chibidark angel: Of course Malik won't get Seto, but it makes my story all the more-full, I guess. And you never know, he might get a 'fairy godmother' of some sort! Oh, and if you want to read Seto*Ryou couples you have got to read Wildwolf's "Yami Ryuu, Shiro Tenshi" and Pikachumaniac's "Fairydust". They are the best stories I've read.
