A/N: Wow, I got a lot of reviews for the last two chapters! ^_^ *Is very happy*
Ashita: ^_^ I'm glad you liked the little nicknames... I think Yami and Yami B make a great 'wonder duo'. ^_^ The newer conversations are more interesting? Coolies, I'll remember that. And I have no idea why they've gotten better... O.o Thanks for the review!
Dark Symphonia: Thank you! ^_^ I love getting reviews...
C.A.: Just reminding. ^_^ Yeah, Joey got forgotten. O.o Oh well. I guess no one trusts him with taking care of the yamis. ^_^ I'm glad you liked the interactions. Ahondra says thanks for the chocolate, and Mafdet is very happy with her new cat toy. ^_^ *Eats some chocolate* (Mafdet: Mrew!)
Borath: We can just boost each other's egos together. ^_^ Because mine just got boosted; I've never gotten a review that long before! Now I feel all special and stuff!
I always liked Grandpa... So I'm glad you like how he is in the fic. He'll be around with the others in this fic for a while too. I like having Yami have some sort of person besides Yuugi who he listens too. At least sometimes. ^_^
Mai was high or something... But I think she is rather outgoing and slightly touchy-feely in the anime, so I figured I could get away with it. ^_^ Besides, it's some good comic relief. ^_^
Yep, gonna' be a long story. *Nods* And after this one finishes, I have Itsumo (the sequal/prolouge) and then another fic that takes place after Eien and Itsumo. (Which needs a name...) So this is going to be at least a trilogy... And there are at least two side stories to go with this... Explaining things such as Mafdet. (On another note, I have 20,000 words without author's notes so far, so I'm pretty happy. That's the most I've ever written before, I think.)
I really happy that you like the Yami and Yami B interactions. I love those two, both as a couple and as close friends. I think they'll have to stay friends for this fic though, but I'm sure I'll write a Yami B*Yami eventually. ^_^ And there will be plenty of bonding moments with them, don't worry. ^_^
My little ego is now expanding greatly. ^_^ I'm very happy that this fic is a success so far...
You're right, now that I think about it, about Yami B. I guess he was not in the mood to protest. ^_^ Yeah, Tristan probably has really proven himself. I bet Yami B is, at least somewhere in his little tomb-robbing head, slightly impressed by Tristan. I mean, he did hold his own against Yami B, and actually managed to trick him and then knock him out. He may be the only person Yami B has any ounce of respect for. And don't worry about any Tristan*Yami B, I've already done that once. *Points at her Spin the Bottle story*
Goddess Kumori Dragon: I guess everyone liked 'the wonder duo'! ^_^ And I'm updating much faster than I used too. :P Thanks for the review! ^_^
Okay, that's the reviews. *Nods* Onto other, exiting things. *CoughI'maliarcough*
I hope everyone's pleased with the (semi)quick updates. *Nods again* I'm putting off a lot of stuff to do this... (Such as all those astrology charts I'm supposed to be doing at Kyokou Geemu... O.o') Then again, I'm homeschooled, and I get off school to write if I want sometimes. ^_^
Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to Yugioh or anything. But I will soon get to order mangas 32 and 33... And I don't own 'There you Go' by Pink, either.
Warnings: Cursing. It's Seto and Yami B. Bad Seto and Yami B... And no yaoi, again, but if you want to take it that way go right ahead. ^_^
Summary of last time: The fight ended, the yamis got back, and everyone planned for Egypt.
Preview for this time: Some cute, happy stuff before everyone gets off to the airport. Unfortunately, they don't manage to get to the airport in this chapter, but almost. I'm working on it! ^_^

Onna - Woman
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Eien; part 9
by: Amiasha
Yuugi hummed a little as he pulled out his suitcase and then went over to his closet. He opened the closet doors and then procceded to start throwing thing onto the bed. This drove Yami nuts most of the time, but as the spirit was sleeping, Yuugi decided that he could be messy.
Yuugi, after throwing pretty much the entire contents of his closet onto his bed, started to pick through them.
"Yami'll want that... I want that... Yami'll want that... He'll want that... I want this..." He continued to mutter to himself as his separated the clothes he wanted from the clothes he didn't.
"Hey, Yuugi, where're the-?" A voice came from the doorway, then stopped.
Yuugi whirled around to see Tea, looking around his, at the moment, rather messy room. Yuugi freaked out, panicking then finally spreading his arms out in a futile attempt to hide the clutter.
Tea noticed this, and began laughing. "Yuugi, I've seen a teenage boy's room before." She managed to say between giggles. "You don't have to be so worried."
Yuugi blinked a few times, before lowering his arms and turning back to continue his packing. "Hi Tea. What were you looking for when you came in?"
Tea thought for a second. "Oh yeah! I was wanting to know where you kept the sheets. I was going to change the ones that go on the couch."
Yuugi looked up at her, and nodded. "They're in the bathroom, in the closet."
"Thanks Yuugi!" Tea said, skipping off.
Yuugi let out a sigh of relief, glad that Tea didn't think he was a slob.
//Worried much?//
Yuugi jumped with a startled squeak. /Yami! You scared me! I thought you were asleep./
Yuugi heard a chuckle in his head, and then a yawn. //Well, I was. But once I sensed all of your panic I thought that there was something wrong. But no, it was just your boyish crush acting up again...//
Yuugi gave a mental shove through the link, a smile forming on his face. /Yami! Stop teasing me!/ He stuck his tongue out in his mind as he folded a jacket.
//Alright, I'll stop making fun of your hopeless fantasies that you dwell on for hours in the day.//
/YAMI! You're so evil!/ Yuugi said, shaking his head while Yami chuckled again at the teen's outburst.
Yuugi slowly got a devious smile on his face, and gave up on his packing to go into his soul room. He snatched a pillow off the bed in his soul room, and opened his hid the pillow behind his back as he snuck slowly over to Yami's door, before slowly opening it.
"Aibou?" Yami asked, cocking his head as he saw his other standing at the doorway. "What're you here for? Weren't you packing clothes just a moment ago?" He blinked a few times, looking confused.
Yuugi walked into the tomb-like room, coming to stand close to his dark and giving him a big grin.
Yami blinked again, before being smacked over the head with a pillow.
"You're so EVIL!" Yuugi repeated, continuing to beat his yami with the pillow.
Yami held his good arm up in defense, before darting around Yuugi and out the door of the soul room. Yuugi followed him, pillow held high, before being met with an identical pillow.
"WAH!" Yuugi shouted in surprise, grinning and ducking back into Yami's soul room door to hide.
Yami stalked slowly toward the door, and began blindly beating around the door without leaning into range of Yuugi. He got a squeak and Yuugi's yellow pillow met with his as the two tried to hit each other around the stone door.
Yami got fed up with waiting and, ducking his head, went around the door and he and Yuugi began a viscous pillow smacking fight.
Eventually the two got tired, and sat down, panting. Yuugi's hair was frazzled and had a few feathers in it, and his yami's hair looked about the same. Yuugi suddenly burst out into giggles and laughed. And laughed.
Yami sighed and leaned back against the wall as Yuugi giggled insanely. The smaller boy continued, going on four minutes.
"Okay, aibou. I think that's about enough." Yami said, with a small amused smirk on his face.
Yuugi managed to control himself, and grinned up at Yami. "Ha, weren't expecting that, were you?" He asked.
Yami raised an eyebrow. "You never cease to amaze me." He said bemusedly. "But shouldn't you be packing and not striking me with a pillow simply because I made fun of your... Hormone driven infatuation?"
"Yami!" Yuugi exclaimed again in indignation. "I don't make fun of you! And there are so many things I could make fun of!"
Yami looked over at Yuugi lazily. "Oh? Like what?"
Yuugi got a devious look on his usually angelic face. "Hm... Let's see... There's that obsession with how long your sleeves are, and the one about how much milk is in your cereal..." Yuugi looked up in thought as Yami sweatdropped and blushed. "And about how the bananas are arranged, and how my bed is made, and what order my school books are... And how open the door is when you're sleeping outside the puzzle, and that thing about making sure the batteries are flat in the remote, and-"
"Okay. That's enough." Yami said, trying to suppress his blush. "I understand. No more teasing."
"Good." Yuugi said cheerfully. "You know, we could blackmail each other so badly..." He remarked thoughtfully.
Yami smiled. "What would you blackmail me for? I haven't any money, besides what you give me."
"Yeah, that's true." Yuugi nodded in agreement. He looked at his Yami. "I should get back to packing. And you should go back to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Yami nodded, and handed Yuugi the pillow he'd used earlier. "Well then, I think I'll talk to you tomorrow morning. Good night." He said.
Yuugi took the pillow and nodded. "Yep. Goodnight, Yami." He gave his yami a grin before coming out of the soul room, knowing that the pillows would return to his as he left.
Yuugi looked over at his suitcase, and double taked to find a small kitten curled up in it. Mafdet mewed innocently, blinking up at Yuugi with big green eyes.
"Oh no you don't." Yuugi said to the cat. "Out."
Mafdet gave him a hurt look, before climbing out of the suitcase and slinking downstairs, presumably to cause havoc.
Yuugi resumed his packing, and listened to the sounds coming from downstairs. There was some muffled cursing which sounded distinctly like Seto, and there was some high, happy chatter from the girls. Then, there was a shout of alarm and a loud, "MAFDET!"
Yuugi laughed and shook his head as he finished with the clothes and added some of Yami's Egyptian jewelry. Then he shut the suitcase and switched to packing some stuff to entertain himself and his yami in his backpack. After he finished with that, he headed downstairs.
He was met with a very odd sight, or one that would have been odd if it had happened to someone who didn't know the group as well as he did.
Seto was glaring coldly at Joey, who was being held back by Bakura who had apparently returned, and Tristan. Mokuba, who had long given up on breaking up Joey and Seto's fights, and was watching the fight from next to Ryuuji. The two were eating carrots, and leaning against the wall.
Tea was glaring at the boys, and Mai, who had also returned, was checking over he bags again. Mahaado was there as well, floating crosslegged in the middle of the room. Serenity was in the kitchen, helping Sugoroku cook.
Yuugi sighed at Joey and Seto, and wondered whether they would ever stop fighting. But then everyone was called to dinner.
******************
Yuugi couldn't sleep; he was so excited. He rolled over in the couch-bed, and yanked some covers away from Joey.
//Can't sleep?//
Yuugi jumped and his eyes widened in shock. /Gah! Don't do that! I didn't even sense you. Do you just wake up and suddenly decide to talk to me?/
//Sometimes, yes.// Yami answered, sending a mental smile to Yuugi. //Relax, aibou. You'll sleep easier if you stop thinking about tomorrow.//
Yuugi smiled too. //But I'm so excited!//
//So am I. But we need to sleep, too. Tomorrow will come at the same speed whether you sleep or stay awake. And sleep will make it easier to enjoy the trip.//
Yuugi stuck his tongue out at Yami mentally, which he seemed to be doing a lot lately. /You're so logical and cold!/
Yami laughed. //I am not...//
Yuugi giggled softly, trying not to wake anyone up. /I'll try your advice, anyway. Even if you do act like a block of ice most of the time./
Yami sighed in amusement, and shook his head. //Goodnight again, Yuugi.//
/Goodnight./ Yuugi chirped, and settled down in the bed. A few minutes later, he fell asleep.
******************
"Yuugi! Yuugi, morning!"
Yuugi snapped awake, looking up at the person talking to him. Sugoroku was hovering over him, shaking him gently and telling him it was time to wake up. "Mm up, G'ampa..." Yuugi murmured sleepily. "Wha' time's it?"
"5:00am." Sugoroku answered. "I realized there's only two bathrooms, and 13 people including the yamis and I. So everyone has to get up early. You should wake your yami if he's not up already." He said, as he went to wake Tristan.
Yuugi yawned and nodded. /Yami? Are ya' 'wake?/
There was an identical yawn. //Yes... Aibou, what happened to sleeping?//
Yuugi laughed and got out of bed, noting that Joey must have already been awoken since he wasn't there. /We had to get up earlier then we'd planned./ He said, having woken up enough to be able to speak clearly.
As his brain unfuzzed, he made his way up to his room to grab his clothes and then take a shower.
About 10 minutes later, he came downstairs, clean and dressed. Yami had decided to stay in his soulroom until it got closer to time to leave.
The sight that met Yuugi's eyes was pure chaos. Teenagers, a preteen, an old man, and a young adult ran everywhere, trying to make sure they had all of their bags ready and to grab something quick to eat.
Mai was frantically throwing things out of her bag in search of something unknown to everyone but her, Mokuba had a brush stuck in his hair, Serenity was looking for her other shoe, Joey was hopping on one foot and trying to get his sock on, Tea was fighting with a banana, Tristan and Bakura were gathering stuff for showers, Yami B was brushing his hair, Ryuuji was looking around with a very blank look, Sugoroku was making coffee, and Seto was standing in the middle of it all, nibbling on the end of a bagel.
Tristan and Bakura went and claimed the two bathrooms, and Mai found what she was looking for: Her favorite lipstick. Tea defeated the banana. And Mafdet ran under Seto's feet, causing the usually immaculate CEO to trip and fall flat on his back.
Joey snorted and then burst out laughing. "Kaiba was defeated by a kitten!" He continued to giggle, reveling in his 'victory' until a bagel slammed into this face and stuck there. "Ah! Kaiba threw a bagel at me!"
Seto shook his head and got up, stalking away as Joey tried to get the breakfast food off his face.
Yuugi blinked a few times at the group, who continued their odd actions. He sighed and left the safety of the stairs to descend into the midsts of the crazy people.
Ryuuji had finally come awake, and was gathering up things for his own shower. Mafdet lept out of nowhere, and tore around the room a few times before settling and laying down on Seto's trench coat which was folded and laying on his bag.
Tea threw out the banana which turned out to be entirely purple inside, and then tripped over an item of Mai's and stumbled around to catch her balance. She ran into Joey who, still with a bagel on his face and half a sock on, slammed into, fittingly, Seto. The three went down in a heap onto Mai, who shrieked and managed to get lipstick on Seto's face.
"Wonderful." Seto said in a perfect monotone.
They detangled just as Bakura came back, who announced that one of the bathrooms was once again open. Ryuuji snatched it up immediately, disappearing up the stairs in a flash of black and green.
Eventually everyone had showered and gotten shoes, Seto had gotten the lipstick of his face, Mafdet was in her catcarrier, and Yami had separated from Yuugi. They were all ready to go.
Seto called up his stretch limo, and everyone piled into it.
"This is rather... Cramped." Tristan remarked, glancing around. Everyone was shoved up against each other in the seats, since the limo was built for about 10 people, and there were 13, plus a cat.
"Shut it." Seto snapped. He hadn't gotten his coffee yet, and had been around the group for far longer than he'd ever wanted to be. So Seto was a little cranky.
Yami B yawned, looking bored. He looked at his other's watch, which read '6:30am' in green letters.
"I spy somethin' wit' my eye 'dat's... orange!" Joey announced, grinning broadly.
No one responded, besides Seto. "And...?"
"It's Mafdet's cat toy." Yami said lazily. "Now let me sleep." He said, aiming both comments at Joey.
Joey pouted a few minutes, before Mai spoke up. Or sang up, I guess.
"Please don't come around talkin' 'bout that you love me
'Cuz that love s*** just ain't for me
And I don't wanna' hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doin' is runnin' your mind games
Don't you know my game beats these games
So your best bet is to be straight with me
So you say you wanna' talk, let's talk
If you won't talk, I'll walk, yeah it's like that
Got a new man, he's waiting out back
Now what, what you think about that
Now when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically, I'm through with you
Whatcha' wanna' say, had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're beggin' me to stay
There you go, lookin' pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talkin' 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talkin' 'bout you miss me so-"
"SHUT UP!" Seto shouted. "God, you damn onna!"
"Touchy..." Mai muttered, flipping her hair over her shoulder and then inspecting her nails.
The rest of the group just stared at this display, including Mafdet. Then they kind of blinked, and went back to what they were doing. Which was nothing.
"Hey Pharaoh." Yami B said lazily. He held up four fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Four." Yami answered in an identical tone. The he glanced over at Yami B. "What kind of game is this? Even I don't like it."
Yami B shrugged, yawning. "I'm too tired to think."
"Well, you'd do best to wake up more." Bakura stated. "You're not going back to sleep, at least not until we get on the plane. And trying to drag you through customs while you're half asleep is not on my list of things to do." He said calmly, sorting through his bag.
Yami B made a growling noise, but said nothing in response. He just leaned back against the seat and watched the scene outside the window. That is, until he noticed the tiny mini bar that was in the stretch limo.
"Alcohol!" Yami B exclaimed, getting up and making his way over to the drinks.
"You don't need anything to drink." Bakura said, sighing. "You're bad enough as it is."
Yami B gave another growl and a glare before turning back to the bottles in front of him. "One drink won't hurt."
"You have to pay for it." Seto said to him.
Yami B sighed angrily, and made his way back to his seat. "You're rich, Kaiba. Why in hell would I have to pay?"
Seto gave him a look that just read 'You're an idiot.' "Because I'm letting you ride in the limo instead of walking, and none of you are paying a dime. So no free drinks."
After that, everyone got quiet and just waited to arrive at the airport.

A/N: Not that great, but I guess it's alright. I had a few things in it I liked... Anyway, please review! The more reviews I get, the faster I usually put out a new chapter. ^_^

Yuugi jumped and his eyes widened in shock. /Gah! Don't do that! I didn't even sense you. Do you just wake up and suddenly decide to talk to me?/
//Sometimes, yes.// Yami answered, sending a mental smile to Yuugi. //Relax, aibou. You'll sleep easier if you stop thinking about tomorrow.//
Yuugi smiled too. //But I'm so excited!//
//So am I. But we need to sleep, too. Tomorrow will come at the same speed whether you sleep or stay awake. And sleep will make it easier to enjoy the trip.//
Yuugi stuck his tongue out at Yami mentally, which he seemed to be doing a lot lately. /You're so logical and cold!/
Yami laughed. //I am not...//
Yuugi giggled softly, trying not to wake anyone up. /I'll try your advice, anyway. Even if you do act like a block of ice most of the time./
Yami sighed in amusement, and shook his head. //Goodnight again, Yuugi.//
/Goodnight./ Yuugi chirped, and settled down in the bed. A few minutes later, he fell asleep.
******************
"Yuugi! Yuugi, morning!"
Yuugi snapped awake, looking up at the person talking to him. Sugoroku was hovering over him, shaking him gently and telling him it was time to wake up. "Mm up, G'ampa..." Yuugi murmured sleepily. "Wha' time's it?"
"5:00am." Sugoroku answered. "I realized there's only two bathrooms, and 13 people including the yamis and I. So everyone has to get up early. You should wake your yami if he's not up already." He said, as he went to wake Tristan.
Yuugi yawned and nodded. /Yami? Are ya' 'wake?/
There was an identical yawn. //Yes... Aibou, what happened to sleeping?//
Yuugi laughed and got out of bed, noting that Joey must have already been awoken since he wasn't there. /We had to get up earlier then we'd planned./ He said, having woken up enough to be able to speak clearly.
As his brain unfuzzed, he made his way up to his room to grab his clothes and then take a shower.
About 10 minutes later, he came downstairs, clean and dressed. Yami had decided to stay in his soulroom until it got closer to time to leave.
The sight that met Yuugi's eyes was pure chaos. Teenagers, a preteen, an old man, and a young adult ran everywhere, trying to make sure they had all of their bags ready and to grab something quick to eat.
Mai was frantically throwing things out of her bag in search of something unknown to everyone but her, Mokuba had a brush stuck in his hair, Serenity was looking for her other shoe, Joey was hopping on one foot and trying to get his sock on, Tea was fighting with a banana, Tristan and Bakura were gathering stuff for showers, Yami B was brushing his hair, Ryuuji was looking around with a very blank look, Sugoroku was making coffee, and Seto was standing in the middle of it all, nibbling on the end of a bagel.
Tristan and Bakura went and claimed the two bathrooms, and Mai found what she was looking for: Her favorite lipstick. Tea defeated the banana. And Mafdet ran under Seto's feet, causing the usually immaculate CEO to trip and fall flat on his back.
Joey snorted and then burst out laughing. "Kaiba was defeated by a kitten!" He continued to giggle, reveling in his 'victory' until a bagel slammed into this face and stuck there. "Ah! Kaiba threw a bagel at me!"
Seto shook his head and got up, stalking away as Joey tried to get the breakfast food off his face.
Yuugi blinked a few times at the group, who continued their odd actions. He sighed and left the safety of the stairs to descend into the midsts of the crazy people.
Ryuuji had finally come awake, and was gathering up things for his own shower. Mafdet lept out of nowhere, and tore around the room a few times before settling and laying down on Seto's trench coat which was folded and laying on his bag.
Tea threw out the banana which turned out to be entirely purple inside, and then tripped over an item of Mai's and stumbled around to catch her balance. She ran into Joey who, still with a bagel on his face and half a sock on, slammed into, fittingly, Seto. The three went down in a heap onto Mai, who shrieked and managed to get lipstick on Seto's face.
"Wonderful." Seto said in a perfect monotone.
They detangled just as Bakura came back, who announced that one of the bathrooms was once again open. Ryuuji snatched it up immediately, disappearing up the stairs in a flash of black and green.
Eventually everyone had showered and gotten shoes, Seto had gotten the lipstick of his face, Mafdet was in her catcarrier, and Yami had separated from Yuugi. They were all ready to go.
Seto called up his stretch limo, and everyone piled into it.
"This is rather... Cramped." Tristan remarked, glancing around. Everyone was shoved up against each other in the seats, since the limo was built for about 10 people, and there were 13, plus a cat.
"Shut it." Seto snapped. He hadn't gotten his coffee yet, and had been around the group for far longer than he'd ever wanted to be. So Seto was a little cranky.
Yami B yawned, looking bored. He looked at his other's watch, which read '6:30am' in green letters.
"I spy somethin' wit' my eye 'dat's... orange!" Joey announced, grinning broadly.
No one responded, besides Seto. "And...?"
"It's Mafdet's cat toy." Yami said lazily. "Now let me sleep." He said, aiming both comments at Joey.
Joey pouted a few minutes, before Mai spoke up. Or sang up, I guess.
"Please don't come around talkin' 'bout that you love me
'Cuz that love s*** just ain't for me
And I don't wanna' hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doin' is runnin' your mind games
Don't you know my game beats these games
So your best bet is to be straight with me
So you say you wanna' talk, let's talk
If you won't talk, I'll walk, yeah it's like that
Got a new man, he's waiting out back
Now what, what you think about that
Now when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically, I'm through with you
Whatcha' wanna' say, had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're beggin' me to stay
There you go, lookin' pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talkin' 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talkin' 'bout you miss me so-"
"SHUT UP!" Seto shouted. "God, you damn onna!"
"Touchy..." Mai muttered, flipping her hair over her shoulder and then inspecting her nails.
The rest of the group just stared at this display, including Mafdet. Then they kind of blinked, and went back to what they were doing. Which was nothing.
"Hey Pharaoh." Yami B said lazily. He held up four fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Four." Yami answered in an identical tone. The he glanced over at Yami B. "What kind of game is this? Even I don't like it."
Yami B shrugged, yawning. "I'm too tired to think."
"Well, you'd do best to wake up more." Bakura stated. "You're not going back to sleep, at least not until we get on the plane. And trying to drag you through customs while you're half asleep is not on my list of things to do." He said calmly, sorting through his bag.
Yami B made a growling noise, but said nothing in response. He just leaned back against the seat and watched the scene outside the window. That is, until he noticed the tiny mini bar that was in the stretch limo.
"Alcohol!" Yami B exclaimed, getting up and making his way over to the drinks.
"You don't need anything to drink." Bakura said, sighing. "You're bad enough as it is."
Yami B gave another growl and a glare before turning back to the bottles in front of him. "One drink won't hurt."
"You have to pay for it." Seto said to him.
Yami B sighed angrily, and made his way back to his seat. "You're rich, Kaiba. Why in hell would I have to pay?"
Seto gave him a look that just read 'You're an idiot.' "Because I'm letting you ride in the limo instead of walking, and none of you are paying a dime. So no free drinks."
After that, everyone got quiet and just waited to arrive at the airport.
