Okay guys, here is the long-awaited Chapter 7. This is gonna be fun!
^______^
##########################################################################
Slipping past Kurry's parents was easy. Kurry discovered that Kitty could retract her wings as well as her tail and ears. They crept out of the house, Kurry calling, 'Ma! I'm going to a friend's house! Be back by dinner!' just before she shut the door. Then they dashed off down the street.
When they arrived at Seto's fifteen minutes later, both Kitty and Kurry's jaws dropped. His place was HUGE!! But then again, he was the CEO of his own company. They both shrugged and then the gates opened for them.
Malik met them at the front door. After greeting Kurry and throwing a curious glance at Kitty, he led them into the lounge.
Everyone was there, and they all fell silent as Kurry, Kitty and Malik entered. Kurry suddenly felt really nervous, and turned desperately to Kitty, pleading for help. Kitty motioned her forward, encouraging her with her eyes. Kurry bit her bottom lip nervously, then took a deep breath and began:
'Er...hi, everyone. I suppose you're wondering why you're here...' she turned and glanced at Kitty again who nodded. 'Um, I was in gym class today and...' (+Here goes.+ she thought.) '...I discovered I have wings.'
Stunned silence. Malik raised his head, staring at her in shock. Kurry rushed on. 'Then when I got home, I was thinking about what happened and then Kitty turned up...' (here she motioned at Kitty, who waved) '...and she told me that I disappeared from Kiramina when I was little and I know it's unbelievable, I can hardly believe it myself, but I do actually have one memory of Kitty from long ago and I believe her. Please don't gape at me like that,' she added at the end, seeing how her friends were all wide-eyed. (Ryou was staring more at Kitty than at Kurry.)
Kitty stepped forward. 'Perhaps I can help to clear this up. When I was about 2 and Kurry was, oh, a few months old, she was taken by a thief. The angels gave chase, but they lost her here on Earth. We knew it was no use trying to find her; she'd blend right in until her wings grew. That's why it's been so long.' Kitty turned to Kurry. 'Believe me, if it could have been any sooner, it would have.'
Kurry nodded and smiled reassuringly. Kitty looked relieved. Then all chaos broke loose.
'WHAT?!?!?!?!' cried Malik, leaping up. Ryou fainted. Serenity and Isis went like this: *-* and Seto and Yami went like this: O___O!?!? Joey gasped, Yugi grinned, and Mai was like Wha? O___o?? Bakura was sitting stock still, trying to wrap his mind around what Kurry had just told them.
'Guys! Please! PLEASE!!' Kurry hollered over the noise. Everyone quieted down. 'Thanks. Look, I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Here...' Kurry took a deep breath and although she was terribly afraid, opened her wings.
Silence. You could've heard a pin drop, and the floor was carpeted. Kurry lowered her eyes. 'There. You see? It's true,' she said sadly, knowing their silence meant rejection.
Then Malik got up. He wove his way through the people on the floor and walked right up to Kurry. Slowly, unsurely, he reached up and ran a hand along one wing, a shocked grin on his face. Kurry blushed a little, but when she glanced at him his grin had grown.
'Wow,' he breathed, and that one word was all he managed, but it told Kurry all she needed to know. Beaming, the two turned to the rest of the group.
Bakura was first. He got up and came forward, followed by Ryou, (who had woken up), Yami, Isis, Seto, then all of them surrounded Kurry, talking excitedly and admiring her wings. Kitty watched from her perch on the couch, pleased that Kurry's Earth friends were such that they still accepted her.
'Erm...hallo?'
Kitty perked up. 'I heard a British accent,' she said, and turned to see Ryou sidle up to her.
'Er...hi. Are you an angel too? 'Cause you look like you could be.'
Kitty blushed. 'Oh, no, that's just Kurry. I'm actually a cat demon. ^____^' Ryou's look went from o___O? to O___O! as Kitty transformed. 'Whoa. @__@' he muttered as they joined the others.
Kurry suddenly remembered. 'Oh, Kitty needs a place to stay. I can't, my parents would flip,' she said, looking regretful.
'That's okay. She can stay here,' said Seto.
'Ooo, really? Thankies!' Kitty squealed.
'Er...no problem.'
Kurry grinned. 'Are you gonna go to school?' she asked. Kitty stuck her tongue out. 'Mleah. School. =P But yeah, I am. I'm enrolled in Domino High! I dunno what classes I'm in, but innat great?' Kitty beamed. Kurry nodded. +Hope she's in some of mine.+ thought Ryou.
Malik still couldn't speak properly. He just couldn't get over the fact that an angel was sitting right there in front of him. It was too cool.
Kitty spoke suddenly over the hubbub of chatter. 'So what do y'all do for fun around here?'
'TRUTH OR DARE!!' everyone said at the same time. Kitty fell off her perch. 'Whoa. @___@' They all chuckled.
'Isis! Truth or dare?' Kurry called.
'Truth!'
'Okay, who do you like? In this room, I mean.'
Isis blushed. 'Uh...'
'No lying!'
'Damn.' Isis hid behind Yami, then raised one hand and pointed down at the spiky haired Pharaoh in front of her. Yami looked frustrated. 'Well, who is it?' he asked. That set everyone off. (Remember he couldn't see Isis point at him.) 'O___O!! It's ME?!?' Yami blinked, then blushed. Isis was beet red.
'Isis, your turn!'
'Setotruthordare!' Isis said in a rush.
'Dare,' said Seto calmly, then 'O___O! Shit,' as he realised what he'd done.
'I dare you to proclaim your love to whoever you love. And if the girl's at school you gotta do it tomorrow.'
Everyone burst out laughing at the look on the tall CEO's face. Blushing profusely, Seto inched towards Serenity, who was completely oblivious until Seto took her hand in his. It took Joey about 10 seconds to realise, and he leaped, hissing and spitting, at Seto. He was hauled back by Malik and Bakura. Seto gave Joey a glare that would have frozen an ice truck and turned to Serenity.
'Er....Seren? We've been friends for awhile, but I've never had the courage to tell you this...' he took a deep breath and said, 'I love you. Deeply.' Serenity went like this: *-* and then threw her arms around Seto's neck and said, 'I love you too! I was waiting for you to say something!' Seto looked absolutely stunned. Joey went rabid and everybody else cheered and catcalled as the two's lips met. Kurry, who was now sitting on Joey to prevent him throttling Seto, clapped and hollered, 'You're a lucky one there, Seren!' Seto and Serenity both blushed and broke off. When Joey calmed down, it was Seto's turn.
'Yugi. Truth or Dare?'
Yugi weighed his options for a second, then said hesitantly, 'Truth?'
'Right. Who would you most like to see in a bikini?' Seto smirked. Yugi's eyes went huge. 'I'm not a pervert! Unlike you!' he protested. Everyone else was in hysterics. Kitty gasped between fits of laughter, 'Oh...come on Yugi...it's all in fun....' Yugi blushed redder than a tomato, then buried his face in his hands and pointed in Tea's general direction. Tea went like this: O___O!! and fell backwards off the stool she was sitting on. (Luckily she was wearing pants for once, instead of a skirt.) Yugi eeeped, then poked Mai. 'Mai? Truth or Dare!'
'Er...dare.'
'I dare you to give Joey a back massage,' said Yugi, giggling.
O_____O!!!
'w00t! Go Mai!' Malik and Kurry hollered at the same time, then blushed. Mai sat down on a stool and seated Joey on the floor in front of her. She started by rubbing softly, then got really into it and Joey's face was a look of pure bliss. In fact it looked like Mai was putting him to sleep.
+He's got some strong muscles under here,+ thought Mai, blushing.
'That feels real good...' muttered Joey. Mai blushed again.
When they were finished, it was Mai's turn. (Joey soon curled up in the corner chair and went to sleep. Mai's backrub had completely relaxed him.)
'Kitty. Truth or Dare?'
Kitty blushed. 'Uh, truth.'
'Geez, mate, you've barely chosen one and you're already blushing,' Kurry teased. 'Sheddup. -___-;' said Kitty.
'Okay, what kinda guy would you most like to go out with?' asked Mai.
Kitty glanced around warily. Ryou had gone to the washroom. 'Actually, I wouldn't mind going out with a certain white-haired bishie with a British accent, but don't tell HIM that!'
'Wouldn't dream of it!' chorused Bakura and Malik, looking as if Christmas had come early.
Ryou came back just then. He stopped short as he passed the door. Kurry saw Bakura send his trademark glare at Ryou with a bit of a smirk attached, and Ryou looked like this: O___O!! Kurry suddenly realised that they were talking through their link. She burst out laughing. Yami and Yugi were already in hysterics, along with Malik and Isis. Everyone else was like Wha?? And Joey was zzzzzzzz. Then Ryou looked at Kitty, blushed to the roots of his hair and sat down next to Malik, who nudged him. Kitty was completely oblivious until Seto said, 'It's your turn.' Then she smirked at Kurry and said, 'Kurrrryyyyy! Trruuuutthhh or daareee??' in a singsong voice. Kurry gulped. 'Dare?' she said, barely audible. Kitty grinned evilly. 'I dare you to get up and sing 'Can't Fight the Moonlight' from Coyote Ugly.'
'You know about that?' Ryou asked.
'Yeah, we've got everything you've got up in Kiramina, movies included,' Kitty shrugged. Kurry eeeped, got up and walked to the front of the room. Somebody tossed her a microphone, but she tossed it back, saying she didn't need it. The lights dimmed, the music began and everyone watched as Kurry got into her groove.
"Under the lover's sky, gonna be with you,
And no-one's gonna be around,
If you think that you won't fall, well just wait until,
Till the sun goes down,
Underneath the starlight, starlight,
There's a magical feeling, so right,
It will steal your heart tonight!
You can try to resist,
Try to hide from my kiss,
But you know, but you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight,
Deep in the dark you surrender your heart,
But you know, but you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight, nooo,
You can't fight it.....
It's gonna get to your heart.
There's no escaping love, once the gentle breeze,
Weaves its spell upon your heart,
No matter what you think, it won't be too long,
Till you're in my arms.
Underneath the starlight, starlight,
We'll be lost in the rhythm, so right,
Feel it steal your heart tonight!
You can try to resist,
Try to hide from my kiss,
But you know, but you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight,
Deep in the dark you surrender your heart,
But you know, but you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight, nooo,
You can't fight it....
No, matter what you do,
The night is gonna get to you!
Underneath the starlight, starlight,
There's a magical feeling so right,
It will steal your heart tonight!
You can try to resist,
Try to hide from my kiss,
But you know, but you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight,
Deep in the dark you surrender your heart,
But you know, but you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight, nooo,
You can't fight it....
It's gonna get to your heart.
You can try to resist,
Try to hide from my kiss,
But you know, don't you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight,
Deep in the dark you surrender your heart,
But you know, but you know that you,
Can't fight the moonlight, nooo,
You can't fight it....
It's gonna get to your heart.
When Kurry was finished, everyone hooted and hollered and clapped. She blushed and dashed back to her seat. Kurry had barely sat down when she leaped back up again. 'GAH!! What time is it?' she gasped. Ryou checked his watch. '6:30.'
'Damn. I gotta go. I don't want to, but I gotta. I'm already late,' Kurry sighed disappointedly.
'I'll be alright,' Kitty said when they all showed her to the door.
'Okay. Be good will ya?' Kurry teased.
'Yep! ^_____^'
Seto stepped forward. 'Oy. Tell you what. Tomorrow's Friday. Come over here after school and you can sleep over. That goes for everybody else too,' he added. Kurry grinned. 'Oh thanks Seto! You're so nice. I'll see y'all in the morning!' And with that she dashed away.
##########################################################################
Wow, I hope that truth or dare was good. That was the first really long one I've ever written. ^____^ (I kinda liked Yugi's dare to Mai. That was funny as all-get-out and I got a good mental picture of that as I was writing it. Hee Hee!!) Please review! ^_^
