Enjoy!

Kurry sat on the couch with the unconscious Malik's head in her lap, stroking his hair gently. They were last in line for the washroom, so Kurry had opted to sit out of the way while Kitty and Kat tried to sort out who was gonna sleep where. Arguments could be heard issuing from the bedrooms and the halls. Kurry just smiled.
Malik's eyelids fluttered and he groaned. 'Am I dead? I see an angel.' Kurry blushed. 'Actually, yeah, I AM an angel now.' He grinned. 'I'm afraid we're last in line for the washroom,' Kurry confessed. 'I don't care. In fact I think I'd rather stay here,' he replied. 'You're a very good dancer,' she mumbled, blushing AGAIN. 'Am I? I didn't know that,' he smirked.
'Oy! Lovebirds! Your turn for the shower! Try not to go in together alright?!'
Kurry gaped. 'We're not HENTAIS!!' she gasped. Malik burst out laughing and sat up. 'My friends are crazy. You go first, koi, I can wait.'
Kurry stretched. 'Thanks. Goodnight.' She pecked him on the cheek and left.
It wasn't until just before she got in the washroom that she realised what he'd said.
'w00t! He called me koi! ^_______^'
Kurry clambered in next to Serenity and snuggled under the covers. The girls were sleeping in Kat's room, while the guys were in the guest room. There were two twin beds and three hammocks. Kitty and Kat were sharing a bed, as were Kurry and Serenity, and Tea, Isis and Mai all had hammocks strung into special hooks in the ceiling.
'Gosh that dance was lovely,' said Mai. 'Thank you Isis.'
'Yeah, I enjoyed it too. Seto's a good dancer,' Serenity sighed.
'Yeah, so's Malik,' Kurry murmured dreamily.
'I'm worried about Yugi,' Tea said suddenly. 'I mean, he's so...small. I can't really see him fighting demons.'
Mai nodded. 'I know how you feel. I'm afraid that Joey's hotheadedness will get him into trouble.'
'How good of a fighter is Bakura?' Kat asked.
'Oh, he's good. I've seen him fight. He and Malik practise their forms whenever Bakura comes over to our house. They're both good,' Isis replied.
'Yes, but are they good enough?'
The girls were silent before Kurry spoke up. 'I'm not worried about Malik,' she said.
The other girls gaped at her. 'How can you say that?' Tea asked.
'I mean, I fear for him, of course, and I don't want him to get hurt, but we gotta have faith in our guys. See?' Kurry explained.
There was murmured agreement, then Kitty tapped off the light and one by one the girls dropped off to sleep.
In the next room the guys' discussion revolved around much the same topic. The yamis were sharing a bed with their hikaris and everyone else was in a hammock. Malik sighed dreamily, flopped in his hammock. 'That was fun.'
'Yeah,' Yami agreed, grinning.
Bakura smirked. 'Oh look, the Pharaoh has hearts in his eyes.' He was hit full in the face with a pillow, then previously mentioned Pharaoh jumped on him. The two Ancient Egyptians began to wrestle.
'Calm down guys. We need to figure out a plan of action,' said Ryou quietly.
The two left off, intrigued. 'What do you mean aibou?' Bakura asked.
'Well, we are going off to fight demons soon. How are we going to protect our girls?' Ryou pointed out.
Seto looked over, mildly interested. 'I would die before I would see Serenity at the hands of a demon,' he growled. The others nodded.
'Okay, so how does this work?' Yugi asked.
'Well,' Malik piped up, 'we can't possibly protect our girls single- handedly. How about whichever girl's in trouble, the first one to see that helps them,' he suggested.
'Sounds good to me,' said Joey.
'Right!' the others chorused.
The pact made, Ryou tapped off the light and the boys dropped off one by one.
...Darkness and red light. That was all she could see. She followed the flickers, trying to find her way out. The red light grew brighter and brighter and she suddenly came out on a ledge above a huge cavern. The floor was a circular pool of fire and the rock that rose around it was blackened and twisted. She saw a lone figure hunched by the side of the pool, poring over something in its hands.
Then the pool spoke, and she ducked to keep from being detected.
'Is it ready?'
She had to strain to hear the reply.
'Al-almost Master. Soon you will be free of your confinement.'
The fire flashed with every other syllable spoken.
'Good. Long years have I yearned to be free, and soon I will exact my revenge on Kiramina. What of the other spell?'
'I-it too is nearly ready Master. The result will exceed your demands.'
'Well done. You are good and faithful.'
'Thank you Master. We are ready to begin.'
The servant began to chant. She wanted to scream, to tell him not to do it, but she had no voice. A deep cackle sounded in the flames, which swirled and thundered before shooting up into a great pillar of fire...the noise was too much, the heat was so bad...she was screaming soundlessly...
'KURRY!! WAKE UP!!!!'
Kurry shot straight up in bed. Kitty and Serenity were sitting either side of her, and Malik was sitting in front of her, holding her hands tightly in his. The other guys and the rest of the girls were crowded behind, eyes wide in fright. But Kurry's were white with terror.
'Are you alright?!' Malik asked frantically. 'You were screaming something awful!'
Kurry turned her gaze on Kitty, who gulped.
'Rikshana has a new leader,' she whispered. 'Rikarsh is rising.'
And she fainted dead away.
