(Ami) By the way, /hikari to yami/, //yami to hikari//, and the thoughts are all in italics.
(Shina) You're forgetting ~shared feelings via items~ in my world! I've got 6 chapters in my spring break IY fic. You don't have any IY fics at all!
(Ami) *twitch twitch* What'd you say?
(Alexandra & Kairi) Run for it, there's going to be a word war between crazytomboy1 and devilgirl5!
(Bakura) So, why is Alexandra giving me that "touch-her-and-you're-in-deep-shit" look?
(Kairi) *shrugs* I think it's that time of month when she'll nearly act like Marik, but then again, I'm not sure!
(Shina) Malik and Marik are saner than usual, Shadi's ooc, Ami's portrayed here, there will be a note-passing war portrayed by paper airplanes, and lastly Mike is a friend of Ami's!

Airplane Madness!
Okay, let me be blunt! The airplane had took off about an hour ago, and while Yugi is taking in the sites; Ryou, Kairi, and Amy are really bored!
Kairi was sighing, balancing a plane peanut on her nose perfectly. It was knocked off by a paper airplane thrown by someone. "Hey...I was trying for the record books!" I might as well read it! 'Kairi, what in the world are you doing with that peanut on your nose?' That's Ryou's handwriting, why'd he do that? Oh well, I'm not going to be bored at all! She wrote out quite a few nihonjin-no characters, then folds it and flings the p.a. back at Ryou.
Ryou caught the airplaine. 'Can't you see I was going for a world record?! Five more minutes, and I would've been there.' Ryou smirked, and wrote down a response.
'I'm so sorry, but why aren't we just talking?' That's dumb!
'The truce, Ryou; the truce! Don't get me wrong, but Yami wouldn't like it if we broke it.' Ryou smacked his head, remembering the talk just before they got on the airplane. Antoher throwing of the p.a. proved to start some chaos as Amy intercepted it with a stretching yawn, and the two teens sweatdropped. That's not good!
"Huh, what's this paper airplane all about?" Amy snickered after reading it, then made up her own p.a.'s, nine of them to be exact! "If you want yours back, you'll have to search!" All the p.a.'s were thrown at once by the channeler, with a smirk on her face. "Good luck kids..."
Ryou grabbed several p.a.'s and wrote on them, hoping one would reach Shadi; unfortunately Kairi caught one of them and read it. 'Girl hikaris and yamis are just not right!' "Ryou, that's just not polite!" Wait a second, those eyes...Bakura! That's it, I'm burning those paper airplanes in the shadow realm!
The hairband shone softly, and all the paper airplanes in the cabin flew over to her fast! She snapped, the airplanes in the cabin were gone. "Much better...Now back to Shonen Jump!" The rest of the ride was very quiet, except for Shadi playing his GBA and snickering from time to time. "Oh, shut up, I'm reading a good part in the manga!"
Mike was playing his own GBA, trying to beat Shadi in the Duel Monsters game. Mike shrugged as he lost again, then finally gave up. (AN: Mike looks like teen Gohan that's not a Super-Saiyan in any form. Got that?)
Hey, I'm skipping to after the plane ride ends, and they're in Egypt. I know that it's not possible, but it's my fic! So there they are, waiting to be picked up by Ishizu's company. No, I don't mean something like Kaiba Corp., but Ishizu's friends; duh! For those of you who think both Ishizu and Malik are tomb keepers, then you just don't read spoilers enough, because Rashid has been given the Pharaoh's blessing to do so instead. *blows a raspberry at would-be flamers*
Yugi yawned, then frowned. "What time is it? I'm so tired..."
Kairi stifled a yawn, she was a morning person and a night owl, Ra knows how she does that! "According to my watch, it's 9:45 PM in Cairo time, and 4:45 AM in Tokyo time. We've missed out on some sleep, that's for sure!" She looked at Shadi; puzzled at the Sennen Ankh holder. "Looking for something, or are you just shocked at the winter temperatures? I know it's warm for this time of year..."
Shadi looked areound the area. "We're being watched, Kairi. Hold your toungue for now."
Ishizu stepped out of the shadows, glancing at Shadi, then to Yugi. "Pharoah, welcome to Egypt. I hope you'll like your stay here, because it will be in my hotel." I think it will do my brother well to talk to his friends.
"Whoa, wait a second! You own that swanky hotel I always passed on the way to my old school...I don't get it!"
Kairi was puzzled to no end, when Ishizu smiled and nodded. "Now, you're making the drivers wait, all of you." She gestured to the waiting limosines. "It's not a very long ride when compared to airplane trips from Japan."
Ryou sighed. "That's so true, but at least I may be able to see Otoo-san this time!"
Ishizu just sighed, getting impatient. "It's longer if you walk, so I suggest you come into the limosines like your friends. I mean no harm." She turned and got into the front seat next to the driver, while everyone else got into the limo's back area.
(AN: About a half-hour later...) "Are we there yet? I'm getting tired of just sitting around in this stuffy limo..." Yugi was figeting in his seat.
Kairi yawned. "Nearly, but I hated the bus ride unless I had a rough night. One hour and thirty minutes isn't very exciting at all, unless it involves constant Duel Monster playing!" Everyone laughed, causing Kairi to sweatdrop visibly. "So? At least I didn't keep myself 100% isolated!" Ishizu flinched, she had heard her brother talking about someone who was shy, but didn't back down in friendship who wasn't annoying; just blunt. She was her brother's first friend outside of Rashid before he had the rod. "Ah, we're nearly there!"
Sure enough, there was the school coming up, along with the huge hotel nearby. The other kids were gawking at the size of the buildings. "The school is smaller than the hotel, if you are aware enough to notice."
Shadi was unamused by the way Ishizu was talking, but he smirked at the wide-eyed boy. "It is fit for royality, is it not?" Shadi was being as calm as possible, seeing that he egged Bakura on to write the phase that got Alexandra pissed off on the plane.
Kairi just took that to be her cue to talk. "I've been there once, it's like Ryou's apartment if you are bored enough to count the stairs. Are the elavators fixed on the ground floor at least?"
Ishizu chuckled loud enough for the people riding to hear. "Yes Kairi, you won't have to run up the 100 steps to see my brother anymore. I had that problem fixed a week after you came!"
Well, you should've said something earlier! "That's good, although I know where the stairs are if I get cabin fever and hyperness together, Ra forbid that!"
Shadi was chuckling on that thought. "It doesn't hurt to have some chaos in life, how else would all of this happen?" He grinned slightly at Kairi, who just rolled her own eyes.
Ryou cleared his throat. "Um, I hate to sound like my yami..." Everyone stared at Ryou, waiting for him to go on. "...But will you just shut up?!" Incredibly, the the whole limo fell silent for the rest of the trip.
Kairi sighed happily. "Finally, we're here! My butt was getting sore." There was some snickering coming from Alexandra's soul room. /It isn't that funny, Alexa! I think I'm not going to do that spell to annoy Bakura if you don't stop snickering at me.../ The snickering was cut off by a sigh. /Much better, Alexa; much better!/
Once inside, the two white-haired boys were gaping. "Whoa! Bakura, this is huge!" /I think we shouldn't make Ishizu mad, there's air conditioning here. That's better than the weather at any desert!/
//True, but what is Kairi doing at the check-in desk?// Ryou turned around, a bit confused.
Kairi rang the bell, making a cute little 'bing' sound that got the doorman's attention. He looked at the redhead with a reluctantly scared look before he spoke in Egyptian. "Can I help you, miss?"
By Ra, I can barely speak the language since I have been slacking off in Japan, but I'll try my best! "Yes, this is the Ishtar party-No, no, I mean the group invited for Malik Ishtar's birthday. Would you show us to our rooms after taking-No, giving us the room keys please?" Oh crud, I'm sounding like an American blonde from California! My English is better than my Egyptian currently...
A certain tanned blonde hikari was standing right behind the redhead, making a sign for everyone to keep quiet about him being there. "Well Kairi, go haven't gotten that rusty if you're scared about that!" As Malik had planned, Kairi fell over out of shock, and he caught her. "Careful, you know how hard the floor is anywhere!"
Kairi jumped up, and nearly slapped the blonde before she remembered how he was feeling over the phone. "At least waiting isn't as bad as study hall in the hell oven school, ne?" Malik just stared at Kairi, face unreadable. A few seconds later they burst out laughing. Two minutes later, Kairi had opened her mouth without laughing constantly. "Okay, hahaha, Malik...I think the pranks should wait until, haha, we at least know where our rooms are!"
There, I managed not to yap like a dog! Speaking of which, Jounochi, Seto, Mai, Anzu, Pegasus, (maybe?) and Marik aren't going to show up outside of mere mentions until the next chapter. I'm impatient, so an hour after they unpacked is where I'm picking up, ok? Good!
Kairi was busy writing some Egyptian symbols on a sheet of looseleaf paper, and was looking at the nearby comb from time to time giggling; when Malik interrupted her. "What are you doing with that paper and comb?"
Kairi froze for a second. "I'm thinking of paying back Bakura for the mean paper airplane he sent to Shadi concerning me and my yami. Want to get Bakura down here, so you can see what I have in mind exactly? It'll be fun, and it sure as heck beats waiting."
Malik blinked a few times, confused until he saw Kairi's smile. "You're acting like Marik for a reason, aren't you?" He turned around, then went up the stairs to the second floor, smiling to himself.
Kairi wasn't writing as she watched Malik go off to bug Ryou and his yami. Back to the complicated spell! As she just barely finished the writing of the spell on paper, placing the comb on it, Bakura ran down the stairs screaming for no damn reason. She whispered quietly to the paper. "Invoke." She turned around and saw Malik running after him as fast as he could go. "Malik, stop that nonsense, right now!" Malik 'eep'ed, not wanting to remeber how Kairi had acted one week at the school, and Bakura let out a sigh of relief.
Of course, that was before the comb lifted itself off the table and flew towards Bakura! "What's going on with that damn comb?! Damn that, that thing!"
As Bakura started running again, Malik just gave me a weird look before it clicked to him. "Was that what you were doing?"
I bit my lip to keep the chuckles in, as Bakura made another pass around the front desk. I whispered to Malik, not wanting to get beat up by the pissed as hell white-haired spirit. "Yes, I did that, you silly kid!" He burst out laughing at his old nickname Kairi hardly used anymore. Now to undo the spell before he kills me for this stunt...Done! "Bakura, why are you running from nothing? I'm just wondering about that..."
It seemed that Ryou answered back, not Bakura, thank Ra! "Who did it? One minute Malik came in the room, the next we're down here, and he's laughing his head off! I'm lost about this..."
Yugi came running downstairs, smiling. "I heard from Ishizu that this place has a swimming pool, can you show me where it is Malik?" It wasn't a big deal, basically most of the people invited had gotten sweaty from the plane ride or from the heat in general.
The blonde Egyptian smiled, saved at the last second. "Oh...If you'll wait for a bit I'll get my swim trunks on, and lead the way!"
A few minutes later at the pool, everyone seemed to be having fun, Malik and Shadi especially, since they were dunking each other in the water from time to time. "You think that's fun? How about a big splash contest from the diving board?!" Kairi wasn't amuzed at the two boys trying to drown each other in the pool. About five seconds later, she regretted opening her big mouth because of the overjoyed kids dragging her towards the diving board. "Why won't you go first, Ryou, or maybe Yugi?"
"Well, you suggested the idea Kairi, so you can go first!" Ryou just shrugs, then goads her towards the diving board's edge by whispering to Bakura about nothing in particular.
"All right I'll go..." Yugi just stared at Kairi before she jumped, saying an insult on the way. "Never trust a silver-haired kitsune thief from my eperiences!"
That only provoked Bakura into dragging hinself and Ryou right after the redhead. "Are you implying that I am a forest animal?!?!"
/She's saying you look somewhat like Youko Kurama from Yu*Yu*Hakusho, Bakura.../
//And that kitsune is a thief, correct?// He just jumped in (sans Ryou) after Kairi to chase her around in the pool, all the while making Amy and Mike wet from the recoil of displacement.
Mike was slightly wet, knees down, while Amy only had her feet wet because she was sitting further back. "That's a 5, good job Bakura!" They were both trying to get tans, but Amy was the one who glanced at the pool from time to time. Yugi bounded in next, giving up on trying to get his yami to come in any other way. "Hm, that was a 4 for Yugi." A slightly bigger splash for Yami by Amy's standards! "Whoa, that's a 7 for Yami, great job!"
Malik looked a bit scared to jump in, until Alexandra snuck up behind him and gave him a scare. "Alexandra, what in Ra's name are you doing?! Ack!"
Everyone stared as both Amy and Mike were drenched. Yes, drenched! "Hey, we have a winner! It's Malik Ishtar with a score of 10!"
Alexandra glanced over to where Amy was and snickered. "Who would have thought the saner 'tan terror' could do that? I'm surprised by that!" She then looked over to where the blonde Eygptian was. "Whoops, I might have gone too far..." She sweatdropped. Damn it all, I can't even pull pranks at a pool correctly...But that's my fault, not Kairi's!
"Hey, did you see how far out Malik jumped? It was confusing to say the least..." Shadi was always interrupting for unknown reasons, but he had managed to stay collected around Rashid than Malik could for all the time they've lived together, which was most of his life! (AN: I'm corny, but let's just say that I've grown a bit attached to that pairing!) "I know it has been hard on the boy to not have the Sennen Rod until this birthday."
Surprising everyone, Rashid was taking a break for the week. (AN|Ami: *hits Shina with Hiei's sword* He can't take a break, don't ya get how? |Shina: *whacks Ami with her squeaky mallet* Nope, but I can be ooc with the near baldy, can't I?) "Well, that is master Malik in a pinch for you, Shadi." (AN: Do you know why he calls Malik 'master'? I didn't think so...)
Practically everyone sweatdropped, but Malik spoke up before Shadi could. "Oh, come on, I'm usually not that bad..." He paused. "...And it's not my fault when he did that at the Battle City Tournament!" It was a bit funny on how how Malik sort of stuck up for his own yami. He wouldn't admit it, but he had a big understanding why Marik went through all the trouble to get to the Battle City Finals in the first place!
Alexandra saw what was hidden behind that 'overly simple kid mask' of sterness. "I see. Are you really sure about that, Malik?" Getting no answer, she tried to continue the questions, but Kairi dragged her away while she was trying to get in another question. "Then you might want to tell me why you were mostly in the bathr-Itai! Kairi, that's my ear, let go of it!"
Kairi was smirking. "This isn't the party, so there's no time for 'Truth or Dare' right now, get my point?" After getting no response and feeling a faint pop, Kairi knew that she had kept Alexandra from totally embarrassing Malik, and walked off to her floor with a smile. "I'll be back after I've dried off."
Well, since Ami's killed off the fun time at the pool short by ~nearly~ deleting this chapter, so I went to this little back-up side plan. It's really corny, but don't flame me for it!
It was only two days away from Malik's birthday, and by the look on her face, Ishizu was tense! She had just woken up from the weird dream again for the fifth time since the school term had ended. The dream was concerning the school that Malik went to and the Shadow Games somehow. It had something to do with some Sennen Items, but she didn't know which ones just yet. Sweating, she went to the room's shower and cooled off both her mind and body. It never occurred that Amy and Kairi had the information that would fill in the holes to the strange dream she was having. It just was her problem for not seeing them for a brief second exiting from the new dig site before they vanished.
It wasn't very different from the past few dreams that the channeler had been having, but this time, it was very long version of it, and although it was a few minutes to her, the watch said that it was 1½ hours since they had came in, and the view shifted to the outside where Ishizu was...But that was before she woke up sweating.
Kairi was scared, something was going far too wrong at the school, and leave it to the nice girl to go in and check. There seemed to be shadow energy all around, and there was a definate evil presense there. Sighing, she took the hairband off, and in a flash it had turned into a gold bow and a silver arrow, she could see the evil, and as she marked off the perfect hit, she woke up! "Aw, what or who is that evil presense? Alexa...Are you sure you don't know anything?"
The black-haired yami was a bit annoyed and amused at how Kairi was acting. "I'm sure..." Checking the watch the redhead hikari had brought along, she checked the time, and her eyes widened. "Kairi, get back to bed for Ra's sake, it's 2:24 in the morning, and it isn't sunrise yet..." Kairi could only squeak as she was pulled into the comfy bed by the waist sash of her nightgown by her yami. (AN: This isn't a lemon, you know that most likely everyone would torch me if it was...)
***********************************************************************
(Shina) *stares at the now-done chapter* Um, this is so very short to my standards...
(Yami) *not amaused* Now why did I only get a seven out of ten in the splash contest?
(Shina) Ask Ami, she's the one who inspired me to do that.
(Ami) *sweatdrops and hits Shina with Hiei's sword* I didn't think that there were pools big enough to do a splash contest in Ancient Egypt, so I thought it would be funny. That, and the fact that I ain't a bit too happy at what you did for that one review in "Yugi's Lover"!
(Malik) Hey, what about me and my yami? Come on, I can't stand this wait! *goes nuts on Kairi to vent*
(Alexandra) Hey, that's definately not nice, you little tan terror, you!
(Kairi) *sweatdrops and smiles* I've put up with worse, Alexandra...Like having the misfortune of walking into one of Mike's shady Sunday parties!
(Ami) *groans in agreement* And it ain't all that funny when it happens to you, or someone all that dear to you, now is it?
(Shina) *pokes Malik* One last thing...
(Malik) I think I'll go nuts on the readers if they really don't want this fic to be updated, so r&r!
