~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seto awoke the next morning and Kei was already gone off somewhere. He sighed and wondered about how strange she could be at times. He runs a hand through his hair, grabs a towel and heads for the shower downstairs. Mai is trying to kill Jounouchi for snapping dirty pictures of her asleep, while Honda and Ootogi are already trying to gain attention of Shizuka, Isis and Rishid are no where to be seen, Bakura and Yami are having are an argument and Mokuba is relaxing playing a Game Boy Advance SP. Seto opens the sliding door to the bath, hangs an occupied sign and turns on the shower. After being in only a few minutes, he hears the outer door open, followed by the sliding door. Before he can say anything, Kasumi opens the shower door. It is pure silence, as the two stand there in nothing but what they were born in. Kasumi is the first to speak, as she looks down, and then back up.

"Hiding something good from the ladies eh Ta-kun?"

"What-you- CAN'T YOU READ?!"

"Oh please, Ta-kun what is your problem?" Kasumi asks, getting in the shower with Seto, grabbing the bottle of shampoo from his hand.

"Hey I had that first!"

"So?"

"Give it back!"

"Make me!"

The two erupt in a small fight over the shampoo bottle, mainly just pulling the bottle back and forth, until Kasumi knees Seto in the groin, and while doubling over, Seto managed to grab one of her large breasts, as payback.

"YEEEOOOWCH!!" WHAT WAS THAT FOR? How DARE you reach into the bosom of a woman you barely know!" Kasumi screeched.

"One: It was payback. Two: I would hardly call you a woman."

"Why you little!" Kasumi kicks him out of the shower and the two grab bathrobes, as they tumble in a small dust cloud, down the hall into the dining room, until Kasumi pulls a large mallet from hammer space, knocking Seto into one of the sliding doors leading to the kitchen.

"Now if you excuse me, I am going to go take a shower. Later al-" Kasumi is cut off Seto kicking her in the back, sending her flying, and grabbing the bottle from midair.

"Use another bathroom, there should be one upstairs." Seto said, going to finish his shower, or rather start it over, seeing as how when one crashes through a door, one tends to get dirty.

Seto was now letting the water run over his body, soothing his sore muscles, when yet again, someone comes in. Whoever it is is humming to themselves, and who should open the shower door next but Kei. She immediately turns around, blushing to her fullest extent.

"Gomene! Gomene!" Kei said, trying to run, but before she could move, Seto wraps his arms around her bare waist, and pulls her in the shower with him.

"You look even more adorable embarrassed…"

"I…I…I…uhhh.."

"Come now, you can't be shy forever…you promised to show me the real you.." Seto said softly into her ear, pinning her against the wall of the shower, kissing her neck, whispering more things gently into her ear. She brings his lips to hers, but before they kiss, a voice comes from beyond the door.

"Ni-sama! I need to take a shower and Anzu threw me out of the other bathroom, so I need to take one with you ok?" Mokuba said. "Here I come Ni-…ni-sama…why are you and Onee-san together in the shower?" Mokuba said, turning his head to the side, confused.

"Um, well, uh…Mokuba," Seto said, turning to his younger brother. "It's hard to explain so you just wait a bit and you can have the shower to yourself then alright?"

"That's okay!" Mokuba said, as he started walking out. "I will just ask Jounouchi what you two are doing!"

"MOKUBA!…I know this isn't my usual manner but if you need to ask some…just ask Yuugi and for the love of all things good and holy when it comes to questions like that stay the hell away from Jounouchi and Honda!" Seto yelled after his little brother, hoping he absorbed enough to at least ask Yuugi.

"Now, where were-" Seto turns to where Kei, WAS standing. Now little lines blink in her place. Seto is almost ready to get out of the shower, from outside we hear one last person.

"Ta-kun giving free-show inside…hmmm…sounds good…" said a voice Seto knew and loathed.

"Kasumi, get ready cause here comes a guy you'll never forg-….Kaiba-kun?!!!" Jounouchi screamed in terror.

"WHY DID YOU COME IN?! AND WHY DID YOU CALL ME KASUMI?!"

"Well, I thought that she was giving a free show because on the door, she had put a message with a small chibi drawing of her…..so that's why I thought it was her and….I'm going to die aren't I?"

Seto throws on a towel and storms out of the bathroom. After getting on SOME clothes, he is walking down the halls, putting on his shirt, when two of his workers catch him.

"Seto-sama, we have a problem."

"What is it?"

"The blimp sir, uh, it won't run….last night someone botched the electrical system with what appears to have been a knife…and it wasn't to accurate either. Shotty work…but it did the job. ((Writers hold up small sign with chibi Yami Malik on it))

"GOD DAMNIT!" Seto says, scaring his two workers away, as he travels to the dining room. On the way, his shirt becomes caught and rips on a coat rack. He takes it off, and walks in the room. Kei is sitting net to Jounouchi, and he gives her a small kiss on the cheek.

Seto begins to shake with anger and turns heel, slamming the door behind him. For the rest of the day practically he doesn't come out, until they are forced into relocation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The owner of the once dojo, now turned inn, stood proudly, his shoulder length black hair and mustache neatly trimmed. His very first guests were paying him quite a lot, renting out the whole dojo for themselves, giving him ample money to go on vacation, now that he had married off all of his daughters to prominent men. As the group pulled up, the man shook Seto's hand.

"You don't know what this means to us. I married off all of my daughters in two weeks! One to a doctor she had loved for years, another to the richest man in town, she married him for his money on her choice, and my youngest to his son." The man jabs his finger at a large panda behind him, who holds up a sign reading:

"Yes the ceremonies were all together, many weddings at once, it was marvelous."

"Saotoume, you should throw some warm water on yourself, people aren't fond of large pandas in downtown Tokyo."

The panda does this, turning into a short, stout man with glasses and a white bandana covering his baldhead.

"Let's roll!" He says, hopping into a car with the black haired man, the two driving off yelling:

"FREEDOM!!!!"

The group sweat drops.

"Did you all see, what I just saw?" asked Jounouchi, rubbing his eyes.

The whole group nods, with small dots for eyes and little x's mouths.

"Man this place is strange…" Mai points out.

Moreover, it didn't stop there.

The minute Malik, Ryou and Yuugi walked past the front gate, seals on them activated, and the next thing they know, they are looking at their other sides. Then the other sides notice something…

"I HAVE NO CLOTHES ON!!!" screamed Bakura, taking cover behind Ryou.

"Aibou! Help!" Yami yelped, having Yuugi at least stand in front of him, since it was impossible to hide behind him.

"Oh quit whining! Be proud! Show your stuff pharaoh!" Marik said, and began strutting around the place, showing off what the gods gifted him with.

"Mou hitori no ore…" Malik said with a sweat drop.

"Shizuka! Look away!" Jounouchi said, covering his sister's eyes, since she was only twelve.

Anzu was now looking into the face of the man who had so many times saved her from harm. Even if she didn't want to, she found herself blushing. His deep crimson eyes seemed somewhat insane, yet at the same time completely loving.

"Anzu, you're cute when you blush." Yami said, forgetting he has no clothes on.

"MOU HITORI NO BOKU! Don't forget something very important!" Yuugi yelled, trying to catch the attention of his other side, who was about to walk up to Anzu, without any clothes.

"Chilly isn't it, Bakura-kun?" Kasumi said, with an evil cat-like glance.

"I'll have you know that I-ACHOO!"

Kasumi begins laughing, as Bakura swears violently, calling her many things I cannot type here.

"Oh and one last thing before I go in, HEY OTHER SIDES! SAY CHEESE!" Kasumi yells with glee as she takes a picture and runs inside at full pace. As a large argument began, as to who got what room, Jounouchi and Honda set off for the largest possible room they could find. They found it at the very top of the dojo, and were about to run right for it, when Seto, looking as emotionally dead as one could without actually BEING dead, slid the door open, gave the two boys a look of death, and went in on his own.

"Shit….I think I may be in trouble.." Jounouchi whimpered with blue lines under his eyes.

"You think you may be in trouble? You fucking kissed his girlfriend!" Honda said, slapping Jounouchi upside the head. The two boys found the next largest room, and were forced to share it with Ootogi, since Ryou and Yuugi shared one, the girls each had their own except Shizuka who stayed with Anzu, Obaba and Mokuba were in another, Bakura and Yami shared one, and Malik, Isis and Rishid had another. When asked why he didn't have a room, Marik just responded with a psychotic cackle. The group left him to his own doings after that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seto had not eaten, nor slept in the two days of being at the dojo. He just sat and stared at the ceiling, no one came in, no one spoke through the door, until on the second day Kasumi was fed up and barged in.

"God damn Ta-kun how long are you going to lay here like some pitiful animal in the street?"

"Don't call me that." Seto said, sitting up, looking at Kasumi and noticing that she was dressed in fewer clothes than she would normally be.

"What this? New fashion statement?"

"No. Conservation of laundry detergent. Apparently we have low funds and Kei won't come out of her room to go to the store, and Mai can't go because she is constantly teaching Anzu and Shizuka to cook so her and I aren't the only ones cooking. Now you getup and restore some order, because Bakura and Mou hitori no Yuugi keep fighting, and Marik got lessons from a perverted old midget, and now goes around town stealing girls panties!"

"It is no longer a tournament, it's a circus." Seto says with sarcasm as he turns on his side.

"Come on Ta-kun, you can't be mad at her forever no da."

"I am not mad at her, I am mad at myself…"

"Nande?"

"Because I let her slip away."

"Now who said she slipped away?" Kasumi yelled, pulling on Seto's arm in an attempt to get him up. "You can't do this forever! Now get the hell up!"

"Why?"

"Because I love you that's why! Now get up!" Kasumi yelled, while pulling on his arm, until she gave up, and sat down panting.

"You…love me?"

"Erk…uhhh….ignore the fact that I said that kay Ta-kun?" she said making a b-line for the door, but not before Seto caught her by her ponytail.

"Sit. Please."

"Fine…but why talk about the fact that I like you, when you don't even feel the same. Moreover, if you do it is because of all the same reasons your gender likes me. My legs are more than half my body length, I have dazzling green eyes, my breasts are size 36C, and I can never find clothes that fit with out showing something off."

"I can see past that. You have a fighting spirit, you won't let anyone hurt you, much less love you…"

"Then why don't you like me? Is it because you can't dominate me like a little doll?!"

"Kudos to any man who can."

"I'll take that as a yes then."

"Who says I didn't love you?" Seto said, wrapping his arms around her waist and bringing her close to him.

"Well for one thing you love Kei, so any relations with me would probably be lust from boredom in a relationship. That's why."

"Who said I was bored with Kei, and who said it would be lust? I do love you Kasumi, but nothing compared to how much I love Kei. I hope you understand that." he said, kissing her neck and letting her go.

Kasumi said nothing, she stormed out and slammed the door behind her.

"I think the situation just got worse." Mai said, peering up the stairs as Kasumi walked down the hall to her room.

"Uh…MAI-SAN! HELP! FIRE!!" Shizuka yelled, trying in vain to put out Anzu's apron.

"Oh dear." Mai said, pouring water over the panic stricken Anzu.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"KONICHIWAA MINA! Jounouchi here! Well ,well, well, looks like I found the one way to break a man like Kaiba! Ever since I kissed Kei on the cheek, he's shut himself away! HA! So, I guess she is up for fair game but, what's this? Why is she ignoring me? What did I do? Oh wait…okay never mind that. I guess she feels really bad, but I won't give her up! She deserves better then…then…Tenme Kaiba! Stayed tuned for the next episode of Runners High, "Let Me Be With You! The fight for Ishtar Kei!" Duel Standby!
