***Yami POV***
Oh look it's another beautiful day outside…Beautiful day my ass. (-_-) Why must Yugi force me to go to school? Doesn't he see I'm in a state of depression? He's on my last nerve right now so help me Ra! Well I could-NO! NO, I can't do that to Yugi what's wrong with me? Dear Ra not even Bakura would do that to Yugi! (*_*)
Yugi: Yami come on, we're going to be late for school!
Yami On second thought…(-_-)
………..4 hours later…
Humph school hasn't been anything exciting so far. First period the teacher explained to us the importance of life…Well she's telling the wrong soul here! Don't explain the importance of life to me lady! I've lived life for 5000 years and she has the nerve to say it to me?? Trust me lady it's not at all important. (-_-) Her children's, children's, children's, children's….err….a long time ago her children probably served me!
Humph well Isis' disappearance was in the news paper this morning as well as Pegasus! I can't believe Pegasus was kidnapped! What's wrong with this fool?? (O_O) Taking weirdo's like that…Two kidnappings in one day…this isn't good. Who knows whose next. It seems to me though that everyone who has been kidnapped, are people I know. How strange. This doesn't make sense. Well obviously someone has a grudge against all of us…but who could it be?
Teacher: Okay class you're all free to lunch now and then you guys can go home! Stay safe and stay in groups of two or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ow…okay those were my ears. (-_-)
Teacher: Oh and Malik I'm very sorry. If there's anything you need anything at all!
Why does this lady yell so much! Dear Ra I'm going deaf!
Malik: Uh yeah thanks I'll be fine though.
Well I wouldn't if someone announced my problem in front of the entire class.
(-_-)
***Normal POV***
The entire gang sat at the old willow tree nibbling at their lunch and staying quiet, only the sounds of munching and breathing could be heard above the whistling wind. Well everyone was there except Kaiba.
Duke: I don't get it.
Tea: Get what?
Duke: We were at Pegasus' mansion last night and we didn't see anything.
Tea: (Coughing.) O_O
Yugi & Ryou: (Sweat drop.)
Bakura: (-_-) 'Idiots.'
Tristan: Except a haunted closet.
Serenity: ("_")
Joey: Man I can't believe Isis AND Pegasus were taken! Jeez!
Malik: Please stop mentioning my sister. (He mumbled resting his head on the bench.)
Joey: Who Isis?
Tea: (Slaps Joey across the head.)
Joey: OW! What was dat for?
Yugi: You guys we have to make sure we don't walk alone at all. The police said that it would be a good idea to stay with a buddy.
Yami: Well that would stink for Bakura since he has none. (Smirking.)
Bakura: Shut up Pharaoh. At least I didn't force anyone to become my friend and worship the ground I walk on you spoiled brat! (He snapped staring coldly up at the sky again.)
Tea watched Bakura's eyes travel up at the sky as she sipped on her soda. It was strange, whenever he felt the least bit uncomfortable around groups of people, he'd look up.
Tea: 'There he goes again. What's so interesting about up there? Maybe he's shy…'
Ryou: I wonder who'll be next?
Malik: You…(-_-)
Everyone: (*_*)
Ryou: (X)__(X)
Malik: Uh…that was just out of the blue just to let you know.
Tristan: Hey Malik isn't Rishid by himself at your house?
Malik: Yeah but I really could care less if he got kidnapped or not. He's not the one who makes my meals. (Stomach growling.)
Joey: You lazy bum…BURP!!
Malik: (Anime Fall.)
Yami: Malik now that I think about it, all this info really points to one person.
Malik: Who?
Joey: (Standing up.) KAIBA!
Yami: (*_*) What? No!
Serenity: Joey why would you say that?
Joey: I dunno…he's the only one not here right now? (Sinking back into his seat.)
Yugi: Good one Joey but I highly doubt its Kaiba.
Duke: You don't know that.
Tea: Duke!
Duke: I'm just saying everyone's a suspect.
Ryou: Even me?
Duke: The innocent ones are always the last suspected.
Ryou: (Looking rather paler than usual.)
Bakura: Believe me I'd know. (-_-)
Tristan: Hey Yami what were you going to say to Malik?
Yami: What? Oh I was going to say what about Malik's AHEM Yami.
Malik: (Falling off the bench.) (X_X)
Bakura: What's wrong Malik, did that become too much of a shock for you? (Smirking.)
Malik lifted himself up and sat back on the bench next to Tristan and Tea, hushing the group at the same time. A bead of sweat raced down his forehead as their voices grew louder.
Tea: I thought he was destroyed?
Joey: Hey me too!
Yami: (Smirking.) Well Malik, my, my do you have a lot of explaining to do
Malik: (Curling his lower lip.)
Bakura: (Raising his left eyebrow.) You mean that THING is still alive inside you?
Malik: Uh…I couldn't…Um…not exactly…
Everyone: (O_O) (Blinking repeatedly.) UH-OH….
Malik: Hey I swear he hasn't been the one causing the trouble!! Really he hasn't!
Bakura: Oh really? How can you be so sure?
Malik: Well how can we be so sure as to trust you? For all we know Shadi might've forgotten all about that little deal-
Tea: (Covering Malik's mouth.) SHH, hush you! Don't give him ideas!
Bakura: (Smirking.)
Yami: Well I would like to have a word with the little demon.
Malik: (Growing red.) Why?
Yami: (Shrugging.) B/c I want to.
Malik: But…uh…he might be sleeping and well-
Everyone: (Staring sternly at the Egyptian boy.)
Malik: (Growling in frustration.) GRRR Alright fine! Have it your way but if he does anything it's not my fault! (Taking out his millennium rod.)
Duke: (Rolling his eye.) Come on just hurry it up already.
Malik: (Fidgeting.) Listen maybe I should get a restraining order first before I bring him out-
Everyone: COME ON ALREADY!
Malik: (O_O) Very well then.
A minute passed by before Malik's rod grew a bright yellow. Then all at once a great light streamed out of his rod and seconds later another Egyptian boy much like Malik emerged next to him…sleeping on the ground.
Everyone: (20 feet back staring bewildered at the spirit.)
At another bench table, two teens were also enjoying their lunch…well they were.
Boy 1: Dude that guy just made doubles of himself! (Pointing it out.) Man I knew I shouldn't have added that secret ingredient to my sandwich.
Boy 2: (Sweat drop.) Dude this school just gets weirder and weirder. I'm dropping out. (-_-)
Boy 1: Hey you think I can make doubles of myself?
Boy 2: (-_-) I don't know Zack why don't you try it…
Boy
1: (Trying real hard.) ("_")
Boy 2: I need to get new friends.
Malik: Uh Y/M wake up!
Duke: (Whispering to Tristan.) Hey Tristan did he just call Y/M from that rod?
Tristan: Yep.
Duke: What is this Pokemon? He might as well put Y/M in a poke ball.
Tristan: (O_O) Why b/c he called him from a rod?
Duke: Exactly. I thought they were sharing the same body.
Tristan: (Shrugs.) I did too. I dunno just nod your head.
Duke: (Confused.)
Serenity: Uh maybe you guys should just let him sleep.
Malik: (Shaking his Yami.) Wake up! You've been sleeping for almost a year already!
Y/M: (Yawning.)
Bakura: (Smirking.) Here let me help.
A quick kick to the stomach had Y/M jumping on all fours in a flash.
Y/M: OHO-HO-HO!!! (Clutching his stomach.)
Tea: (Whispering to Bakura.) Hey Bakura don't provoke him!
Bakura: What after what he did to me? Ha, first chance I get his head's going on my wall.
Tea: (-_-) You're a real sadist you know that?
Bakura: Yes I've heard that many times before. Call me what you will I could care less.
Y/M: Aibou you kick me again and I'm going to-(Takes a GOOD look at the many stares and GLARES at him.)
Malik: (Rubbing his temples.)
Y/M: Oh shit…..you're not going to lynch me are you?
Yami: That would be too good for you.
Y/M: Then what would you have of me?
Yami: Fess up.
Y/M: (o_O) With which crime?
Yami: (Quizzical look.) What? I don't know any crime!
Everyone: (SWEAT DROP.) U_U
Yugi: (Cutting in.) Y/M just admit it, have you been the one causing the kidnappings around here? Don't lie now.
Y/M: (Placing his hands casually in his pockets.) No…
Bakura: He lies!
Y/M: How are you even sure it isn't this fool right here.
Joey: (Shrugs.) WE don't.
Bakura: Don't flatter me such. I wouldn't waste my time on third grade kidnappings.
Everyone: (*)_(*) (Sweat drop.)
Yami: Spirit admit it! (He shot out at Y/M with an accusing finger.)
Y/M: (Rolling his eyes.) Not that I don't find the entire thing amusing by any means but I didn't commit what you're accusing me of….Actually I'd find the thing more amusing if I knew what all of you were talking about.
Everyone: SILNCE! ((*)_((*)
Duke: I don't believe him.
Tristan: Mean neither.
Y/M: (O_O) No actually I really don't know what you're talking about.
Tristan: The kidnappings.
Y/M: What?
Everyone: U_U
Y/M: (o_O) I didn't do it!
Yami: I say we turn him into the cops right now. Who's in?
Almost Everyone: ME!!
Malik: (Anime Fall.)
Yugi: You guys cut him some slack! I think he's telling the truth!
Serenity: Yeah I think Yugi's right, let it go.
Malik: (Wiping the sweat from his forehead away.)
Bakura: I say we hang him. (-_-)
Malik: (Falling again.) ('O_O')
Y/M: (Shrugging.)
Ryou: Okay that's enough. It's not him Yami and you know it.
Bakura: Maybe but I still want to see him burn.
Yami: Ditto.
Tea: Okay besides Y/M, who Malik's brought out for no reason now, who else could it be?
Tristan: (Randomly.) I need a drink. I'm going home quickly. I'll see you guys later okay?
Tea: Alone?
Tristan: Yeah why not?
Tea: (-_-) Did you not listen to anything anybody's said in the past oh 3 days or so?
Tristan: (Blinking.)
SILENCE.
Duke: (Shaking his head.) You dumbass.
Tristan: Hey I understand that alright!
Serenity: Wait Tristan I'll come with you!
Tristan: (Fidgeting.) Uh….sure.
Serenity: What's wrong?
Tristan: Uh nothing j-just in a hurry here.
Y/M: Watch it there Gretel, he may devour you with that bottomless pit of his.
Yami: Tristan if you don't mind may I come too?
Tristan: (Sigh.) Sure.
The gang said their farewell's as Yami, Tristan, and Serenity left for their house. That left Duke, Joey, Tea, Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Malik and Y/M to ponder on their next moves. That is until a familiar face approached their table.
Mr. Baines: Why hello everyone how are you all doing on this sad day?
Tea: (Heart filled eyes.) …….GOOD!......
Everyone: (U_U)
Mr. Baines: (Sweat drop.) That's great. Malik listen if there's anything you want to talk about you know my door is always open-Hey is this your twin brother or um…
Y/M: 'Who's this loser? Perhaps I should slice him in his sleep…'
Malik: (O_O) Uh….he's my cousin. He…came over after the incident to help me along.
Mr. Baines: OH…..what a striking resemblance. Hmm well just the same that was very nice of you…..
Y/M: Tim.
Everyone:
TIM???
Mr. Baines: Tim, that was very nice of you. I hope they find your loved one soon. I'm sure she'll be okay though.
Y/M: 'Hey aibou, your sister's missing?' (He asked curiously.)
Malik: (-_-)
Y/M: 'Your silence answers my question. Hmm if you don't mind aibou I'd like to stick around. I find this intriguing to say the least.'
Malik: (Shrugging.) 'You pull any type of stunt and you're going back in the rod.' (O_O) Damn….I do sound like Ash Ketchum…
Mr. Baines: (Running his hand through his golden hair.) Listen I really just came out here to tell you there isn't any school tomorrow, just to tell you ahead of time but the next time you guys come to class your project will be due. (He smiled sweetly.)
Everyone: W….what????? (*_*)
Mr. Baines: I think this may be a great way to keep your mind off the trouble brewing in Domino. Besides this way I can help in assuring that most of you will stay together. I don't want anymore of my students disappearing alright? So stick together for your own safety or at least until this thing blows by.
Tea: Oh of course! (^_^) But what about you?
Mr. Baines: (Confused.) What about me dear? (Tilting his head to the side.)
Tea: (^____^) Um….wait let me remember…uh…Yugi help me out here. (She whispered to the spiky haired boy next to her.)
Yugi: (Sweat drop.)
Bakura: What the hell is wrong with her?
Joey: (-_-) She's got a crush on…da teacher.
Duke: I'd like to know what's so great about him.
Y/M: You know…he looks really familiar. (Pondering the thought for a minute.)
Malik: Everyone looks familiar to you. (-_-)
Tea: Oh now I remember, um Mr. Baines maybe you shouldn't walk around by yourself, I mean you may get kidnapped yourself.
Mr. Baines: Hehehe, well maybe I should just hang around with you guys. (He teased walking away.)
Everyone: (0)_(0)
Tea: I don't mind.
Mr. Baines: Well good luck to all of you and stay safe. Goodbye now. (He waved to them.)
Ryou: Bye Mr. Baines.
Yugi: Goodbye.
Tea: (Waving like mad.)
Everyone else: (Staring at Tea.) U_U
Tea: What? Why are you all looking at me like that?
Bakura: Good question. (Sighing.) Alright I need to find that jackass you call Kaiba. I know he's holding some type of information from his partner.
Duke: Hey where is he anyways?
Joey: He left right after school.
Malik: You know I bet you $20 that he's the one pulling all the stunts. He's as dysfunctional in the head as me.
Duke: Maybe…
Joey: Probably.
Tea: …
Yugi: ….
Bakura: Okay I'm going to find him.
Malik: Me too.
Duke: Wait I want to bag him first!
Joey: No me!!!!!
Yugi: Wait guys, let's talk about this first!!! (Chasing after them.)
Ryou: Well Tea um now what?
Tea: (-_-) Do you want to go to my house for that pizza you left in our fridge?
Ryou: Your dad's not home is he?
Tea: No he's working late tonight.
Ryou: Okay sure. (^_^)
Oblivious to everyone that Y/M had been there all alone watching as one by one they left. He wondered what had happened the past couple of years and what ass took his spot in the food chain this time. He had failed and he was in no mood to try again. But for some reason something interested him deeply within the school that he wanted to discover for himself. So he did just that, he went inside.
It was incredible how eerie the school looked without a single student inside. Of course Y/M wouldn't know he'd never attended school.
***Y/M POV***
This place sickens me to such ends. Now where the hell is this room!!!?
Mr. Baines: Tim is that you?
Wait…is there someone here? And who the hell is Tim?
Mr. Baines: Tim what are you doing here? Tim? Tim!
Whoever this Tim is he better come out, this kid's on my last nerve here. (-_-)
Wait a minute….I'm Tim! (O_O)
Y/M: (Turning around.) Oh sorry Malik's teacher I have a bit of a hearing problem from time to time. (He TRIED to smile cheerfully.)
((O))______________(O))
Mr. Baines: (backing up.) 'Creepy kid…'
Shit, how does Bakura pull this off? (0_0) Hell if I had to keep a grin on my face that long I'd roll over and die! ("_")
Y/M: Well I have to go now…um bye!
I can't explain it but I feel quite uncomfortable in this school. There's some strange thing here, some dark energy I can sense. Not as dark as mine I must admit but sure as hell powerful enough. Could it be the teacher? Wait no! WHO IS THIS!!?
"You! You would be superb to add to my collection!" The yellow hooded figure in front of Y/M whispered as he took a step forward. Y/M stood there calmly, his eyes tinting off a powerful light within him gleaming into the dark hooded figure. Inside though, his heart was racing and his mind was going every which way. It occurred to him…HE DIDN'T HAVE THE MILLENNIUM ROD!
Y/M: Oh shit…. (X)_(X)
"Hey…psst…over here." The voice whispered hoarsely as Y/M looked back up only to find the stranger right in front of him! He didn't know what was in the other guy's hand or if it was a guy at all but whatever it was knocked him out the next minute later or rather blurred his head and vision immensely until everything was on the brink of going black.
Y/M: I….Think…for once I am…in trouble this time. (He slurred trying to concentrate his vision from the cold, hard floor.)
"HA! Another simpleton down easy alley."
Mr. Baines: Put him down. (He replied calmly behind the brightly hooded figure.)
The unknown thing, caught off guard next to the slowly dulled Y/M, whirled around gleaming directly into Mr. Baines face. Mr. Baines showed no sign of fear as his eyes hardened and his golden hair grew brighter by the second.
"You! G-get back!" The thing hissed as it backed away from Y/M's unconscious body.
Mr. Baines: (Stepping closer until he stood right beside Y/M.) You will leave these premises and stay away from this school if you know what's good for you. These are learning grounds and I will show no mercy to those like yourself intruding on these children.
Y/M: Am I dreaming or is that strange teacher protecting me? What can a sad mortal do against such a thing? (He thought losing focus ever so slowly.)
"What are you doing here??! Why are you protecting him now?" The stranger demanded backing closer and closer to the wide open window.
Mr. Baines: You are not welcome on these premises. And if you continue to bother this young man then I will step in fates way do you understand me?!
"ARGH! You will not interfere!" It yelled again barely touching the rim of the window.
Mr. Baines: Do You Understand Me!! (He boomed his eyes growing a fierce teal color.)
Y/M: What is this I sense? (He thought to himself his eye vision being the first to go.)
The figure now stood on the neck of the wall that led over the window's edge. His shadowed face exerted signs of hate and defeat all at once.
"Fine! Very well! But you have not ruined my plans! I may have stepped slightly out of order but I will take them in the class I saw fit, the ones I have marked! The gentle child WILL BE THE NEXT TO GO AS I HAVE PLANNED!" The stranger snarled as he jumped out of the window.
Mr. Baines stood there, refusing to approach the window panes but never removing his eyes to where the figure once stood. Then second by second his eyes began to soften and his feathery hair falling against the sides of his ears and head as if they were wet. He turned around and bent down next to the laid out form of Y/M.
Mr. Baines: He's unconscious….Good. Perhaps I can get him to Malik's house without arousing suspicion from anyone. When he awakes he will remember this as nothing more than a dream. (His eyes hardening once more.)
With one final sigh he heaved the spirit over his back and continued his walk down the dark, eerie hall.
***Bakura POV***
Something is not right! No, something isn't right at all! I sense disturbance at the school. No doubt it is the work of Y/M but such matters don't concern me that much anymore. His defeat has softened his killing tactics as much as mine, but unlike me his ambitions have slowly eroded away to nothingness. He has given up and accepted his eternal slumber within the millennium rod...his defeat. The fool…it could be easier then that if the dark spirited accepted losing once and awhile. But now he is nothing more then hate, vengeance, and an empty soul of Malik's troubled past and feelings. He is nothing more then that.
Duke: So where was Kaiba last?
Yugi: Actually I just asked a classmate over there and she said she saw him coming from our school. He had the limo parked around back.
Duke: Maybe he was doing some type of work in one of the classrooms and he didn't want to be disturbed. But then again can't he use one of his own super computers?
Joey: Dat's a load of crap and you all know it! Da filthy swine's scheming!
Bakura: (-_-)
Yugi: You guys leave him alone you're only going to provoke him.
Joey: (-_-) He's been provoked most of his life.
Duke: Yugi think about it, who else would hold a grudge from Battle City but the creator of Battle City! You know he hated all the participants plus the fact that he lost and people like Yami, Malik, and Bakura who held great powers didn't make it any better for him. Everyone there was either a friend of the enemy or an enemy to him. And he obviously didn't like Pegasus very much…
Everyone: Cough, cough.
Yugi: Yeah but-
Joey: And let's face it YUG, he's got a record of being unstable and all. He's a loony! He holds a grudge if ya beat him at Go fish!
Duke: Actually Joey he didn't lose he won and he only punched you when ya spitted in his face for winning.
((@))________((@))
Joey: (O_O) No way!
Malik, Duke, Bakura: (-_-) Way.
Yugi: (Sweat drop.) Uh I know it seems strange but remember Kaiba was with uh me in the close- I mean with me and my group at the park the time of Isis and Pegasus' disappearance.
Malik: So? He could have accomplices. He sure as hell has the money. Come on don't be so naïve little Yugi, he's unstable with a past similar to mine to back it up. It's perfectly acceptable for him to be the person to break after all this time.
Bakura: (Standing there keeping to himself.) True.
Yugi: Listen I don't care what you say, he hasn't done anything wrong! If anything you guys need to cut him some slack.
Joey: Yugi da guy's a psycho! I mean what a freak!
Oh well Joey should talk the moronic fool. Perhaps I will leave now. I'm interested to know what my aibou's up to in the middle of all this. Actually when I looked back earlier I was positive he and Tea were walking together in the opposite direction. I will be damned, if I'm not already if I see any budding between them!
Joey: I mean Yugi I wouldn't want to be alone with a guy like dat! YEESH!
Duke: Uh…J-Joey-
Joey: I mean I don't even know if Kaiba likes girls! I mean Yugi you see da way he obsesses over Yami all da time!
Yugi: (O_O)
Duke: J-Joey!
Hmmm, perhaps I will stick around now that Kaiba himself has shown up. Things could prove to get interesting. Well as for Joey, things should get very interesting. That fool should know never turn your back on anything for too long!
Joey: I mean that's another reason ya don't want to be alone with Kaiba! What if he makes a move on ya or something!
Malik: (--_--) 'Stupid idiot.'
Seto: (~____~)
Joey: And dat guy's clothes! It's like Halloween for him everyday!
Seto: (Clutching the suit case tightly but his face remaining grim.)
Joey: Ugh who knows what goes through dat guy's head!
Yugi: (O_O)
Malik: (---)____(----)
Yugi: (Backing up with Duke in front of him.) ((@___@))
Duke: (smiling nervously.)
Bakura: (Rolling his eyes.)
Joey: Ugh I bet Kaiba took all da bodies and hanged them up on his wall!
Seto: Yes Joey that's exactly what I did. And I'm saving the center piece for your head to be mounded.
Joey: See I told you!
BIG SILENCE!
Joey: (-_-) …..He's behind me isn't he?
Everyone: (Nodding their heads viciously.)
Joey: Oh……OOOHHH….Oh…EEP!…(X)_(X)
Slowly the blonde idiot turned around and the next thing he saw was little Joey stars. Kaiba's suitcase went smack dead into the fool's nose. Well I can't say he didn't deserve it. It's better then what I did to him when he called me an albino sadist from Transylvania. Hehehe I wonder how long it took Joey to open his eyes after that?
Duke: Uh K-Kaiba we were l-looking for you.
***Normal POV***
Kaiba's cool, collected eyes stared at the bunch in front of him, the expression never changing even before and after he had knocked Joey to the ground. His fist slowly unclenched from around the suitcase and little by little life entered his eyes once more.
Yugi: Yeah where were you?
Seto: I was at the school doing research. Sorry I didn't know my personal life was such an issue to yours. Now if you will excuse me I have to collect my white haired partner here, find the female member to your gang, and continue our project.
Before anymore could be said, Seto turned around and began walking in the opposite direction his cold eyes meeting with Bakura's gleaming ones only for a brief second. A certain dominance for superiority within this little group unfolded before their very eyes but nothing was said and it was the last time it was mentioned between the two. With a quick grunt Bakura walked ahead, placing his cold hands in his pockets. Everyone else except Malik stood in awe at Kaiba's cold reaction towards their conversation. It wasn't technically ease dropping and heavens knows Joey deserved it, but the entire thing made them suspect and question him even more. Joey still stayed silent as a doormouse upon the ground as the dark clouds set in.
Malik: 'Something is up. They don't fool me. I intend to find what they know even if it means playing dirty.' (He secretly plotted staring at the millennium rod) 'It was in fact my sister after all, and I will show no mercy to the one responsible for all of this. No mercy at all!'
Malik's mind snapped as the golden rod quickly transformed into a dagger hidden under his smooth tan arm.
Malik: Listen will one of you help me take Joey to Tristan's house? I need to gather up my partner and be on my way as well. (He asked as nicely as possible but more or less spitting the words out.)
Duke: I will. Serenity and Tristan are over there too. I can hit two birds with one stone this way. (Flipping Joey over his back.)
Yugi: Um I think I'll go check Ryou's house to see if he went home so I'll see you guys later! (Waving them off.)
Duke: (Frowning.) Are you sure you should be going alone? I mean you are the one who said don't walk alone.
Yugi: Oh yeah I'll be fine, I walk right through the city, you know how busy that gets. (He laughed as he went on his way.) But don't worry I'll be careful and I'll keep my eyes open.
Malik: (Nodding.)
With a farewell nod, Yugi was off like a rocket down the bumpy side walk, anxious to proceed with his work.
Zoeygirl: Okay yep, not much romance there so uh yeah. Sorry this kinda popped in my head and I thought it would be better to put this in first. So thank you again all of you! (^)_(^)
