Chapter: Two - Christmas Day With Whacks Along The Way
"How much do you bet?" A guy asked Rai. His brown eyes looked way too soft along with his black hair – but people who knew him, knew he wasn't soft.
"You know the usual." Rai smirked. "And I'll win my usual." Rai handed him the cash, smirking. "Oh, and Noah, let's hope we got some competition tonight!"
Noah nodded. "Hell yeah, you got competition. A girl named Mai wants to challenge you to a one on one race, what do you say? Everyone here said they would let off the racing for tonight only if they get to see a one on one against you and someone good enough!"
"You know what, that sounds like a good idea, I'll take her on. As long as you take care of my sister while I'm racing."
"I got you covered."
Rai nodded smiling.
A girl drove up in a purple car, with black flames taking the hood up. And she stepped out, her blonde hair blowing behind her.
She wore a small purple skirt and a white strapless shirt. Rai smiled at her and she smiled back.
"So, you're my competition. Great." She smiled.
"Appears I am. Now, let's get down to racing, okay?" The one called Mai nodded.
"Let me know your name first."
"Rai Kamyia." (1)
December 23rd is the worst day possible for our blond who is slumped on his bed, yawning sleepily. It was two days until Christmas, and Christmas reminded him too much of his sister and how she loved the holiday.
Correction here.
Christmas day is the possible worst day ever made now.
He couldn't help but hate it with his sister gone now. A knock on the door, alerted him out of his thoughts, slightly glad someone came.
"Come in who ever is out there," he said plainly.
The door opened and Chloe came in, sighing softly. "Jou. . ." She whined.
"Nani? (1)" Jou looked over at her, confused.
She sat in front of him, just staring at him. "You know what today is." She said simply.
"Yeah, December 23rd."
"Yeah, exactly!" Jou just blinked, obviously his mind somewhere else and he forgotten the occasion. "You forgot! Dear Lord!"
"Apparently, now tell me what is so special about today?"
"The damn parade! Duh!"
"Today is the parade?" Jou choked slightly, he was seriously going to get killed for forgetting this. Yugi and Chloe loved the parade, and wouldn't go without him and if he didn't go hell was going to spread.
Chloe glared at him. "You forgot. I can't believe you forgot!"
"Sorry Chloe, I've just been really busy lately."
"You can make it up to me then by going to the parade with me and Yugi."
"Do I have a choice here?" Jou sighed, knowing the answer to that question already.
"Yeah you do. But I'd choose to go because Yugi won't go without you, and you know how much he'll hate you for not going."
"I'll be going, don't worry."
"You always have fun Jou. I know you hate Christmas, for reasons unknown to me, but it seems with the parade going you get out of touch with the unreal and go back into reality. It's really good for you."
Jou knew she was right. At the parade he seemed to forget about his family for an hour to two and focused on his friends and the parade. He didn't know why. He'd think it'd make him think about them more, but it was the opposite. May be it was because at the parade he went to every year with his family, he let loose and the feeling has never changed.
He didn't know, but he was just going to go. He needed that feeling back; it would do him some good.
"I'm going don't worry." Jou smiled.
"Great, we'll be riding in a float."
"Which one?"
Chloe smiled, "Sakura got Rush to go on a float, and said we could come along with them. Since you seem to know the lead singer."
"N-nani?" Jou stuttered out.
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
"No, no of course not." Jounouchi said. "I'll be there, don't worry. Oh and Chloe?"
"Yeah?"
"How did she get them to come? It doesn't seem like they'd play and sing Christmas songs or anything." Jou looked up.
"It took a lot of convincing on her behalf. People seem to love Rush, and she needed them for the parade."
"Oh. . . Okay then. . . Are they singing something they wouldn't normally sing?" Jou was getting interested. Seeing them sing something they wouldn't normally sing would be cool for them to turn their music around just for an hour.
"Yeah, actually they are. Sakura suggested it. They are only singing one song, and the parade doesn't last for long so they agreed. As long as they don't have to sing it again." Chloe smiled lightly.
"Cool." Jou said.
"Jou-kun! You're finally here!" Yugi hugged him, smiling.
"Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world." Jou smiled and thought, my life depended on it; I had to come.
"Great!" Yugi said. "Come on, Sakura is over here and Rush will be here soon." Jou nodded and let himself be dragged over to Sakura.
"Katsuya! Great to see you!" Sakura said, nodding off and fixing the things that needed fixing real quick.
"Yeah, same. And call me Jou or Jounouchi please. . ." Jounouchi said to her, looking around. "Where's Chloe?"
"She said she'll be back later, there was an errand she had to run. Don't worry about her."
"Wasn't, just wondering, but yeah whatever." Jounouchi just shrugged.
He looked around noting all the people and floats here.
Few minutes later Rush came in and Jounouchi took a good look at them. He knew a lot about them, mainly because of how much Yugi told him.
First there was the drummer who was formally known as Malik. (2) The blonde haired, violet eyed beauty. He was tall, slim, and had a great body build any guy or girl would dream to have sex with, even if it was a one-night stand, including the bragging rights of having sex with a celebrity.
Second, was the keyboardist and guitarist, depending on the song the band played. He was named Marik (3), and looked nearly exactly like Malik except his eyes weren't as cold. His body built was as good as Malik's, possibly better but not likely.
Then there was the main guitarist. A white haired, chocolate eyed, yummilicous, drool-worthy kind of guy. Everyone wanted him, just like Malik and Marik. But of course, who wouldn't want on of the Rush guys? Anyone who was out of their minds, that is.
There was someone standing by him, Jounouchi never seen him before, and Yugi told him that there was only five, not six; which means he is a lover of one of them or a friend. Whichever it is, he looked exactly like Bakura, only his features were softer. He looked really innocent to say at the least, but you can't judge a person by their looks.
Right behind the three, actually four, was the co-singer Yami. Jounouchi got a closer look and he looked nearly exactly like Yugi! Same hair color and the way it was styled! Freaky! The only two things different were his eyes, which were crimson colored throwing people for a loop, and he was taller then Yugi.
Last but not least was Seto Kaiba. His icy cold blue eyes could scare anyone and his brown hair attracted men and women everywhere. He probably is the most wanted singer in Japan and America.
Jounouchi let his eyes fall onto Seto, blinking. Yugi came up behind Jou, looking at the band.
Seto didn't even glance at him as he just walked by, basically ignoring them.
Jounouchi was about to comment when something, or rather someone, jumped on him, knocking him to the floor, which in turn Jou bought Yugi down too.
"Dominos…" Yugi mumbled.
Jou blinked. "Damn… Who ever that is, is going to pay. They are fucking heavy…" Jou said. And in a matter of seconds he received a series of painful whacks.
"I," whack, "am," whack, "not," whack, "fat!" whack, "You," whack, "big," whack, "fucking," whack, "jerk!" Double whack!
Yugi tried his best not to laugh at what Chloe was doing to Jounouchi, after all he needed to save his breath.
"OW!!!!" Jounouchi whined, rubbing his head.
"Serves you right!" Chloe glared at him and got up, pushing Jou and helping Yugi up.
After Yugi caught his breath, he burst out laughing. The band members of Rush just blinked.
"Jou-kun, I'm really sorry but you did deserver that." Yugi said in between laughs.
Sakura just shook her head. "Stop fooling around. Let's hook up and get ready. The parade will start soon."
"Yeah, yeah. . ." Jou said, still rubbing his head.
"Hi. I'm Yugi." Yugi held out his hand and Yami shook him, both of them slightly confused that they look a lot alike.
"Yami."
"I know who all of you are. Jounouchi, I'm sure you know who everyone of them is."
Jounouchi nodded slowly.
"I still can't believe we have to play at the parade." Malik grumbled.
"Malik, one it will give your band more fans, two it's one hour you have to be here. Not that long and after today you can go back to your other music. And none of you can back out now." Sakura said, glaring at them.
"Yeah, yeah. Keep your mouth shut woman." Bakura said, glaring back. "Ryou and Yami had to convince us, didn't that?"
Ryou smiled and kissed Bakura and they were about to go further when someone stopped him.
"Later. Let's play, then afterwards go out and do whatever you want. But not focus on the parade." Seto said, sighing.
"I think he might be PMSing…" Jounouchi mumbled to Yugi. Yugi giggled at that, earning a glare from Seto.
"What made you change over a week or two?" Jounouchi said, crossing his arms.
"You don't need to know." Seto countered.
"I do if it is making you bitchy towards me or my friends. Or anyone else."
"You don't if you don't if it isn't your fucking business." Seto glared darkly at Jou.
"Kaiba just stop now. No more." Yami said, sighing. "We don't need this right now." Seto just growled and walked away.
"I wonder what happened to him…" Jou said, sounding slightly hurt that Seto was acting like this towards him. That didn't happen a few weeks ago. What made him change his personality all of a sudden? Jou didn't know.
The parade started and everyone has joyous faces about them. Chloe was on Jou's back giggling as he tried to keep her up.
Yugi just watched them, laughing as they rode the float and Rush began they're song.
It shocked everyone as they played a Christmas song, but this time of the year always brings a different side to people, and they all knew it.
Love over flows around this season
Our hearts find pleasure in the simplest of things
It brings joy to a child
When he sees all the decorations hanging all around
The birthday of our king
We sing praises to you
People gather around to see a tree
Light up the sky for all of the world to see
Of all the holidays that exist
None makes more happier than this one
Yeah, this one was definitely a shocked. They were playing a happy song. It freaked people out, yet they cheered even more about it then freaking out. They left that behind.
I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I'll say
Thank you Lord
It's so great to be alive
Because it's all about love
Jou couldn't take Chloe's wait any longer and dropped her, sighing. "Sorry, I just couldn't keep you up on my back." Jou said.
"It's perfectly alright, Jou-kun!" She smiled.
"Really?" Some reason Jou didn't believe her.
"Oh, yes, of course! But dropping me isn't!" She then gave him another series of painful whacks, causing everyone watching laugh.
Now he understood why he didn't believe her. He rubbed his head, glaring at her.
As we sit around the fire place
Windows fill with snow as it flutters down and gives the ground a glow
I feel your kisses
Your warm embrace
Kneeling as we pray
To thank our Lord for what he's done for us
Time stands so still
As I touch your hand it says things to me words never will
I feel it (it's easy to feel) peace all the way inside
Joy from a stranger as he walks by and says
Hi, Merry Christmas to you and yours
May you receive everything you wish for and more
I see love
Yugi laughed. "You two are really hilarious, you know that?" Chloe nodded, glaring at Jounouchi who nodded in agreement too.
I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I'll say
Thank you Lord
It's so great to be alive
Because it's all about love
I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I'll say
Thank you Lord
It's so great to be alive
Because it's all about love
I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I'll say
Thank you Lord
It's so great to be alive
Because it's all about love
I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I'll say
Thank you Lord
It's so great to be alive
Because it's all about love
I see love all around this world
In every man, woman, boy, and girl
The time is so right and I'll say
Thank you Lord
It's so great to be alive
Because it's all about love
The parade ended about thirty minutes later, and Jounouchi looked at Chloe. "You were right. I'm glad I came."
"You didn't have a choice!" Yugi said.
"Yeah, I know that. . ." Jounouchi said, smiling.
"Funny outburst there." Seto said.
Jou glared at him. "Go away. We don't need to speak to the likes of you, since the beginning."
"Jou." Yugi said.
"No, Yugi don't. He didn't have a right to say that to us!"
"You're right I didn't. But that wont stop me from not apologizing." Seto walked off, leaving Jou staring at his back as he walked off.
Jounouchi suddenly had a guilty feeling. "Seto, wait!"
"What do you want, mutt?"
"I, uh, am sorry…" Jou mumbled.
"Fine then." Seto turned. "Unless you have something else to tell me, then I have no reason to be here." He continued walking. Jou shook his head.
Seto didn't need to know, it's not like he was falling head of heels. That was impossible.
