Love Among Friends

Chapter 13: Does Yami look different to you?

"I'm stuck in your leather outfit and I didn't realize that the hairdye was permanent; it won't wash out!" These words rang in Yami's head. After he comprehended these words, he surprised himself by grabbing the brunette's shoulder's and shaking him roughly.

"What are we going to do?" Yami growled. "They want us out there now; if we don't get out there, they're gonna get suspicious."

Seto smirked seductively. "I could go out there like this! That would really liven up the game."

Yami pushed him up against the wall, glaring at him. Then he realized how close he was to the young CEO and moved back a step. "I forbid you to go out there like that....I have an idea! Just put your coat on over the outfit and button it up, we'll figure how to get it off later..." The dark spirit blushed when he realized how Seto might interpret that, but the brunette had discovered another flaw in this plan.

"My coat is on the coat rack on the other side of the living room where everyone else currently is..." Seto whined.

"Just go get it and be quick about it!" Yami growled as the older Kaiba voiced his objections to being caught. "Stop acting like a child, if you go quick enough, they won't realize that it's you."

"Okay." Seto agreed reluctantly. He turned left as he exited Yami's room and made his way down the hallway, making virtually no noise. As he neared the living room, he flattened himself against the wall, and peered into the living room. The gang was laughing at Tea's latest attempt to escape Bakura's bear hug. It was now or never.

Before he had second thoughts about what he was about to do, Seto started sprinted across the room toward the coat rack where his coat currently hung.

"Hey Yami." Bakura growled. "Come here for a minute."

Seto looked back toward the tomb robber and tripped over the end of the rug, causing him to fly headlong into the coat rack. Everyone was in shock. Didn't Yami look a little different and when would he ever be this clumsy? Yugi stifled a gasp when he realized that the person trying to untangle himself from the fallen coat rack was indeed not his dark. Nevertheless, he came to Kaiba's rescue, offering him a hand. Seto looked at the hand Yugi offered him, but refused his help. Springing to his feet, he turned to run but was halted by a question from Malik.

"So what's taking Seto so long, Yami?"Malik smirked as he realized that "Yami" was an impostor. He decided to have a little fun with this newfound information. "and why are you taking his coat?"

Seto frowned for a moment, hoping they could not see through his disguise, but of course they already had. He quickly made up a reply.

"Oh, we're ummm practicing.....we'll be right out!" He fled before anyone could realize that he hadn't answered the second question.
