Ok, I am back! * Rejoice * Nah…I am not that great, just a girl with the third chapter here…here you go, my response…
Misura: I am glad you luv that chapter, you really think that pressing Marik scene was hilarious? I thought he was kind of OOC there, but I guess it's ok since you like it so much^_^.
Assassin of the Shadows: You like Jou's starry eyes? I luv it too! When I imagine him in those eyes, he was just too adorable for words!
Ranma Higurashi: I am updating now, so look forward to it! Thx for the little review!
Lizzie: Sorry for the wait! I am trying to think of ways for the matchmaking!
Silver: I am glad you will read every chapter^_^ Hope I don't disappoint!
Chibi B: Thanks for that small review! It makes a difference.
phwee? yami hobo: You like r/b? It's my second fav pairing in YGO, I guess.
Immortal_Memories: I am sure Marik isn't an idiot in Malik's eyes.
Jane Silver: You are absolutely right! I am having so much fun!
S. A. Bonasi: Thx a lot for your review! It always helps me a lot! My manga is translated, since I can't read Japanese and I am planning to buy more. As for those flashbacks, I am planning for it to come out in later chapters, not at one go of course, but I assure you there will be some sort of explanation how they got together.
Kaneda-Shotaro and Yami Tetsuo: Even though the review is short, I still want to thank you for it.
Ninetales122: This was a slower update, right? But thx to you too for the review!
Katsumi-chan: Your review is always so interesting…thx for reading the second chap too!
YamisGal: Glad you like the pairings! They are my fav pairings!
Oh, by the way, I am planning to do another fic which focus mainly on Seto/Jou. It will be a sort of prequel for this fic, so it centers on how they got together. What do you ppl think? Would it be better, or do you want to know just by me doing some flashbacks?
Ok, let's go on to the third chapter!
Title: Cheers! But to who?
Pairings: S/J, YY/Y, B/R, one-sided m/m (Since they are not together yet)
Disclaimers: I don't own Ygo, so enjoy the fic instead of thinking of ways to sue me.
"Oh my god! This is absolutely great!" Jounochi Katsuya stood on the deck of the ship, breathing in deeply. "I could stay here forever!" he smiled widely and sighed in pure bliss. True enough, it was indeed a heavenly feeling to be standing on the deck, staring at the beautiful blue-green waters and listening to the pleasant sounds of the waves.
That's it, if you were not like Honda, who was currently feeling not just a little nauseous, but what he would say, "I am feeling like shit here, Jou. So if you don't mind, shut up!"
Yugi, being Yugi, looked at his friend worriedly. "Are you alright, Honda? Why don't you go to your room and rest for a little while?"
"Su…sure," the other replied weakly. He turned around, but as he did that, he stumbled and fell, hitting his head and, you know, fainted on…Bakura, who was walking towards his favourite Ryou. "Idiot." He scowled, and promptly pushed him off.
"That's not nice, Bakura. Why don't we help take him back to his room?" Ryou asked softly.
Bakura smirked. "That's a good idea, Hikari. We can go to our room on the way back, right?" that earned him a blush.
Without another word, he dragged the flushed crimson and stuttering Ryou along with an unconscious Honda back inside.
Anzu shook her head. "I am going back to my room too, guys. See you later." As she walked past, she flashed a very sweet smile at Yami, who tried his best from wincing. Fortunately, Yugi, who had turned his eyes on Malik and his yami, did not see this. Yami inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. Anzu, being the dense person she is, still did not know that they are together, and Yugi had suggested to keeping it that way. Being the sweet person he is, he did not want to hurt his friend, and Yami, being the caring lover he is, did not argue back.
Yami went towards Yugi and laid an assuring hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, aibou." He smiled encouragingly. "Things will work out between them." Yugi smiled cutely back and nodded his head. "Let's go back inside" Yami continued as he stared at the sky above him. It was slate gray and dark clouds were accumulating swiftly.
Yugi noticed this too and called out to the rest, "Hey! It looks like it's going to rain. You guys better come in soon!" Malik and Marik followed without a word and went in.
As Malik walked past, he leaned down and whispered softly to Yugi, "Don't worry. I will break the ice between Marik and me. We are here to have fun, aren't we?" he smiled assuring. Yugi visibly brightened up and nodded happily. Meanwhile, Jou and Seto were in their own world, having some sweet moments.
Seto stood behind his puppy, whose warm back was pressed against him. He wrapped his arms around the waist possessively. He leaned in and murmured huskily. "If I did not hear wrongly, you said you could stay here forever." Jounochi flushed and nodded, the only response he could manage.
"Oh? Are you sure?" he nipped at his ear. "Is staying out here really better than being with Seto Kaiba in our room?"
"Not…not…exactly…" the blonde stammered, going redder.
"So what do you say about going in now?"
"No," his pup replied stubbornly.
Seto raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Jou shook his head, "I want to stay here." He sat down on the ground, staring out at the sea defiantly.
The taller of the two sighed. He followed his lover and sat down. The other turned around and stared at him, surprised. "What are you doing?"
Seto wrapped an arm around his pup. "Couldn't leave my favorite puppy out here in the rain alone, could I?" he gave a small smile, one which only Jou and Mokuba could have the honor to see.
Jounochi smiled happily and hugged Seto tightly. "I love you so much!"
"I know. That's how I feel too."
Yugi and Yami stared at the two of them. "Do you think they heard me at all, Yami?" Yugi asked, turning large eyes towards his darker half.
"I am sure they did. Just leave them alone." Raindrops began pelting down, and by the looks of it, it wasn't going to stop anytime soon. "But they will catch a cold,"
Yami sighed, "I am sure they will find it worthwhile." He held Yugi's hand and led him inside. They were going to have some fun of their own too.
"Why do you want to stay out here, koi?" Seto asked. He had moved behind Jou, who was now sitting in between his legs. He laid his chin on top of his head, enjoying the heat the other radiated.
The blonde duelist shrugged, "I guess I just want to feel the rain."
There was a comfortable silence for a few minutes, before Seto called softly, "Pup?" There was no response. / He must have fallen asleep. / Seto smiled, and held Jou tighter against him. Anyone who seen his expression now would definitely capture that with a camera and sell one copy for a million. Jou only murmured softly, "Seto," and snuggled deeper into the place where he belonged, Seto's arms.

(Author's note: Four hours later.)
Yugi snuggled happily into Yami's arms. "Yami…"
"What?" the said darker soul raised his perfect eyebrow.
"This is what I call, a perfect moment." He sighed blissfully.
Yami smirked and leaned in closer, whispering huskily. "No, this is what I call a perfect moment." He captured his hikari's soft lips into a soft gentle kiss. He received a gentle moan. / Not a bad reward. / Darting his tongue out, he silently asked for entrance, which Yugi gave immediately. Yami caressed the cavern of his beloved. To him, Yugi tasted sweeter than honey. His hands move on their free will, going under Yugi's shirt and caressing the soft skin. He moved slowly to the neck and was about to mark it when…
Anzu's voice floated towards them. "Yami? Where are you?" The light and the dark soul jumped apart immediately, just in time as the brunette came into the lounge. "Oh, there you are. I finally found you!" She beamed joyfully and noticed Yugi. "Are you alright? You look kind of red." The very flushed Yugi smiled gently, "It's nothing, really. Don't worry about it."
"That's good, then. I came to ask Yami if he wants to go play billiard. You can come along too, Yugi."
Yami cursed mentally. He really wanted to spend some quality time alone with Yugi, but he did not want to hurt Anzu's feelings by rejecting her. He was just debating what to do, when Honda burst into the room, screaming, "Help!"
Yami heaved a sigh of relief and flashed a grateful smile at Honda, which went unnoticed by the flustered man.
"What's wrong, Honda?" Yugi asked, curious.
"Jou and Kaiba are right behind me!" he yelled, looking frantically behind him.
"So?" Yami, Yugi and Anzu asked in unison, confused.
"They stayed in the rain for one goddamn hour. I don't want their cold to spread to me. I came for a vacation, not for a virus."
Jounochi and his lover came into the room. "Come on, Honda." Jou said impatiently, tapping his foot. "I am not even sneezing." He sweatdropped as his friend hid behind Yami, who looked slightly annoyed.
"Just don't come near me!"
There was a moment of silence. "So, what do we do now?" Yugi asked.
Kaiba smirked. "How about a duel, Yami."
"Sounds good. It's been a long time." Yami grinned back. "I'm gonna kick your ass."
"Dream on," the CEO said.
And so, the duel began, with the others watching with interest.
"Go, Seto!" Jou cheered. He raised his hand halfway, before it dropped back down limply. He seemed confused for a while, before brightening up and cheered again, Go, Yami! You-" his stopped again and frowned. He elbowed Honda, who was beside him, "Hey, Honda! Who do you think I should cheer for, Yami or Seto?"
Honda replied back impatiently, "Why do you even asking such a stupid question? Of course, you should cheer for…cheer for…" he stopped, deep in thought. Nudging Anzu, he asked, "Whom ya think Jou should support?"
Anzu replied in a reprimanding tone, "That's easy. Obviously, he should support…" There was a long pause, before she added, "I don't know." The three of them looked at Yugi for help, who sweatdropped and replied nervously, "I don't know too."
And so, the four of them remained silent the rest of the duel, deep in thought, not quite paying attention to the duel going on. After a while, Yami waved his hand in front of Yugi, trying to get his attention. Yugi blinked. "The duel's over?"
"Yeah. It was a tie." He turned towards Kaiba, "Next time, the result will be different."
Kaiba smiled confidently, "I agree. Next time, I will emerge as the winner."
"Fat chance." Was the other's response.
There was a loud growl, no, make it two. An embarrassed Jou and Honda smiled sheepishly, "I am hungry," they said in unison.
The rest sweatdropped, and muttered, "Some things just don't change, no matter the situation."
~*~
That's it for now. I have a question for you people out there. I have always wondered whom Jou would cheer for when Yami and Seto duel, that's it if Jou is with Seto. I think he would cheer for Seto, since Yami has Yugi cheering and supporting him. Anzu would cheer for Yami too. And there's always Mokuba who would cheer for Seto. The best way for Jou is to cheer for both, but I suppose that would be weird, since he would be saying, "Go, Seto! You will beat Yami for sure!" and the next moment, he would be saying, "Go kick Seto's ass, Yami!" You see how strange that would be. And Jou, being Jou, would definitely not keep quiet and just watch the duel. So now, I want to know your comments about this as well as this chapter! ^_^
See ya next time!
