And I'm back for chapter 2! It's snowing! Hooray! I was so happy that I
decided to work hard on this!I am -so- sorry it took me so long to update.
I -would've- had this up about. . . -Tuesday-, but I got in trouble and my
ever-so-kind mother flat out hauled my computer out of my room (-with- my
disk still in it), and I just now got it back.
I'll have to try to update a -lot- faster if I want to get this done by Christmas, or at least New Years. -_-;; Plus, I had basketball and violin about every day this week, -and- I started drawing a new picture of the cast of Yu-Gi-Oh in basketball uniforms. -Then- I'm gonna have to study for finals, and I haven't done any of my Christmas shopping yet! It's kinda hectic. . . but I'll try to be faster, I promise! Can't say anything about the length of the updates, though. . .
Anyway, thank you to all who reviewed!
fani90: You can only review once? Huh. I'm a new author and didn't know that. I'm glad you like my fic!
HieiTheDarkGem: I'm glad you think it was funny! I'm one of those people who making other people laugh makes me happy. ^_^
Misura: You didn't think it was short? That's good. Bakura is my favorite character, I'm glad you liked his personality! I've read a lot of your fics, and they're really good! Especially your new YY/YB one! (it's new to me since I haven't been online all week so. . .)
Disclaimer applies to all future chapters.
Notes: I didn't feel like this chapter was up to snuff, but I wanted to get it out quickly. I'm sorry if it's not, and I'll try to do better next time.

Chapter 2: Frosty The Snowman
~!@#$%^&*~!@#$%^&*~!@#$%^&*
Joey blinked, then scraped the snow off his face, revealing a shining, raw piece of skin.
Oops, I must've accidentally put some ice in there. Silly me.
Kaiba was by Joey's side in an instant. Heh, always knew they had a thing going.
"Are you okay?" he asked, ice-blue eyes flashing concern for a split second. I saw the blood rush to Joey's cheeks at the close proximity.
Give me a break.
"Uh, y-yeah," Joey said softly. Kaiba reached up and softly ran a hand down the blonde's cheek. Joey leaned in to the touch and gazed up at the CEO confusedly. They locked gazes, and Kaiba leaned closer.
"Oh, -PUH-lease!" My melodius voice rang out across the white expanse.
. . . . . . I didn't realize it had been so quiet.
Everyone jumped and whipped around to face me, angry expressions on their faces. None rivaled Kaiba's, however, by far.
/'Kura, you idiot!/ Ryou yelled at me through our mind link.
//What?//. . . . . Remind me to work on my 'innocent' voice later.
/They were about to confess and you ruined it!/ Ryou answered angrily.
//And that's. . . . bad?// Ra, why does -he- care, anyway? People are so nosy in this age.
/-Yes-, it's bad! They look so cute together!/
//Oh ho ho! So you're--// But I never got to finish, because right then I was blinded by a wall of white from all directions.
"AAARGH!"
&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&@
Well, wasn't -that- just peachy. I was frozen, maimed, and snowballed to a pulp, and I only got to touch Yami -once- in the chaos! How sucky is -that- ?!
But I never knew Ryou could throw so hard. Ouch.
Well, it's finally over, and I found another thing to add to my list of 'Things About Winter To Dispose Of When I Take Over The World'.
Snowball fights.
-SMACK-!
"Darn it, Yugi! The snowball fight's -over-!" I heard His Majesty yell at his aibou.
"Sorry Yami," the midget said, beaming. Pharoah glared at him, mumbling under his breath, then turned to go back home. As soon as he had his back turned, I saw Yugi scoop some snow into his pockets. Heh heh heh, sneaky little Hikari. Go Yugi!
If it had been -my- Hikari, we would've had a problem, but seeing as it's -Yami's-. . . .
"Yami!" I heard Yugi call to the Pharoah.
"What is it, aibou?"
Yugi smiled that disgustingly sweet smile of his. "Can we make a snowman when we get home?" he asked, beaming up at Yami.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. -Hold- up. What's a snowman?
Oh wait, Ryou told me about those. You just pack the snow together into a big pile, and then you can make it into any shape you want! . . . . . .
!
I just had an idea!
Yes I -do- have those regularly, for your information! Ra! Some people! Oh wait, Yami's talking again.
"Yugi, I'm soaked! I just got buried under a Kilamanjaro of snow, here!" the whiny Pharoah protested.
Likely story.
"Plus, my leather is in ruin, and it is so cold I could swear I feel my hair gel turning to ice!" he continued to himself under his breath.
A-ha-. The truth is revealed! I -knew- he had a selfish streak -some-where beneath all those buckles.
Yugi's face fell, and he looked at the ground in disappointment.
"Oh. Well, if you don't want to. . ." he trailed off forlornly, glancing at Yami sadly.
Oh, this is funny. I can read exactly what's going through Yami's mind right now. It's something along the lines of: 'Crappit, crappit, crap it all! Him and his stupid Hikari eyes!'
You may think it's funny, but it's not. We yamis have to slave for those eyes.
Yami sighed. "Well, I guess it would be okay, as long as we got to go inside and have more of those Andies candies first."
Yugi's face adopted its naturally bright expression again, and he jumped into the air happily.
"Thank you Yami!"
Sigh. The things we have to put up with for our lights. Not that I'm sympathizing with him or anything. We all know -that's- never gonna happen!
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Hey, Yami here, just a quick question for you all. Has anyone here ever had one of those Andies candies? Ra himself must've created them! They're -so- good! I wonder how you make them. . . .
Hey! I've just found something to contemplate for the next 6 hours! Yes! You see, -I-, unlike cetain tomb robbers who make up for their lack of brains solely by being physically attractive, have a highly intelligent mind, and an attention span that can last for years!
Actually, I'm not surprised the theif's attention span is so short. When you're stuck in a hunk of junk for 5000 years, you can get bored pretty darn fast.
Now, let's see, they have chocolate and mint flavoring. . . . . .
!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*
-HellOOoo-?!
Calling the moron in front of the computer!
Ah, good, you're back.
You spaced out for a minute there. What were you doing that was more interesting than obeying every wish and whim of the almighty -Bakura-, anyway?! Huh?! Tell me!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YAMI'S POINT OF VIEW?!
-TRAITOR-!
Oh, wait! Now you can tell me wether I should make a move on him or not, right?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Okay, you know what? You can just get lost, you worthless little brat, and shove that 'Like hell I'll tell you, that would ruin the plot!' -up- -your- -a--!
"Bakura!"
Oh, now what does he want?
"What, Ryou?" I ask as I turn towards him.
SPLAT!
"AAARGH!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Um, excuse me? Ahem, I believe I was just revealing the deepest, darkest secrets of the modern world to you. You should not be ignoring me, for I am the Pharoah, and I star in every single episode, no matter how much it may annoy certain others.
Hmph.
Anyway, as I was concluding, I will never ever know what Andies candies are actually made of, and if I did, the magic would be gone.
And now we are back at the Game Shop, and I am forced to build a crude impersonation of a modern mortal being using this accursed white stuff.
-And- I -have- to be nice to Yugi, or I won't get stuff on Christmas morning! Yugi explained it all to me.
SLAP!
!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*
HEY! I'm still talking here! Pay attention! Get out of his point of view, no one cares about what -he- has to say!
-I-, on the other hand, have big news!
My nutso Hikari wants to go -buy- a -tree-!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
A tree! He's gonna put a -tree- inside the -house-!
That is -too- funny!
What is -with- you people and your traditions, anyway?
I mean, come on, actually -paying- for things you want? And putting chihuahua trees (the trees don't exactly -stink-, they just smell weird) inside your house in winter.
Who cares if a few trees die, ever heard of a -rainforest-, numbskull? Jeez. In -Egypt- this would have been a big deal, but -here-?
Hey, now Ryou's saying he wants me to come with him to cut down a tree.
That shouldn't be too hard, there's a nice one in the yard right next to us.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
That one didn't go over too well. Apparently you have to go to special places where they grow trees just so you can cut them down at this time of year.
And I thought -Tea- had a retarded job.
But the people that work at -that- place must be stupider, they're going to trust me with an axe! Yes!
Wait, how're we gonna get this thing back to the house? We don't have a car, Hikari!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . No.
I refuse.
Just because Yugi's grandpa has a car, I'M HELL AS NOT GONNA GO CUT A TREE DOWN WITH THE HELP OF THE -PHAROAH-, SO HELP ME--
A Hummer, you say?
Get your coat on Ryou, we're going to get a Christmas tree!

Well, it was a -little- longer at least. Like I said before, I didn't think this chapter was very good, but oh well! I should have the next one up pretty soon, maybe as early as this Wednesday, but I don't know. Another hectic week coming up. If I get it done I'll post it after I have at least 1 review for this chapter. Bye for now!
