Yami's point of view
/=Yugi to Yami
//=Yami to Yugi
/Hey, Yami, you still alive?/
//Mm.//
/I wonder if Joey's all right. /
//Mmhm.//
/Is that cat on fire?!/
//Uhnm. //
/*grr* Hey, it's Anzu coming to give us one of her friendship speeches! /
//Aah! Where?! Get her away! ...Oh. Sorry, abiou. I guess I'm just preoccupied. *leaves puzzle* //
"You're worried about Zora."
"What are you talking about?" Yami all but snapped at his little light.
"Why don't we go find her? I need a break after all that walking. What do you say?" Yugi said pulling the spirit along. They were walking for a while when they bumped into Tristan and Joey. "Hi guys! How are you? Say, have either of you seen Zora?" Yugi asked hopefully.
"Hey, Yug'." Joey said. "Yeah we saw 'er. She was walkin' wit Mokuba an' dat jerk Kaiba." Yami let loose a mute growl. He didn't know why he didn't trust Kaiba with Zora, he just didn't.
"I think they were heading back to his mansion," Tristan was saying.
"Thanks, guys!" Yugi said. "Come on Yami! Let's go." It would just be their luck that Kaiba's mansion would be on one side of town and that they were on the other. It would also be their luck that Joey came with them, then insisted that he drank three large Cokes and was complaining the entire time that he had to go to the bathroom so bad he would even go in Kaiba's bathroom. They finally made it, without accidents, to Seto's house.
Yugi rang the doorbell. After a moment, Mokuba opened the door. "Hurry up, Mokuba! Where's the john?!" Joey asked urgently dancing from foot to foot. Mokuba giggled and signaled a maid to take the desperate Joey to the nearest bathroom.
"So, Yugi, Yami, what brings you here?" Mokuba asked.
"Yami was wor-uh, looking for Zora," Yugi said quickly, "and then Joey said that she came here with you guys."
"Oh, okay. Hey, Yugi, you wanna see the new duel-disk system?" Mokuba asked excitedly.
"There's another one? Yeah, of course!" Yugi replied just as excitedly.
"Where did you say your brother was, Mokuba?" Yami called to the two retreating figures. Mokuba turned while still running. "Uh, second floor, fourth door on the right!" He then turned and dashed after Yugi.
"...two..." Yami muttered as he walked down the hallway, "...three...four!" He stopped and cocked an ear to the door. There were voices coming from inside. "Seto," a feminine voice Yami realized as Zora's said, "...I want to, uh, thank you...for, um, you know..." Yami could stand no more. He burst into the room to find a shocked Zora and an irritated Seto.
Yami strode across the fair-sized room to Seto. As he looked up at the tall Kaiba, he was seething. Without a second thought he punched Seto in the stomach and as Seto bent forward trying to breathe, Yami swung his fist into his left eye, nearly breaking his own hand. Seto fell down stunned.
"Yami! What are you doing?!" Zora yelled, "Have you lost your mind?!" Yami looked surprised at what he did to his hikari's rival.
"Uh. Sorry?"
Seto just stared blankly at him a bruise around his eye forming already.
"How about we go now, Yami?" Zora said pushing Yami out the door. "We'll see you later. 'K Seto?" Seto was sitting on the floor was still stunned, he looked at them and waved good-bye distractedly. "What-" Zora began, but Yami cut her off.
"How about we don't mention it?" he said. Zora didn't get to answer because as they rounded the corner they ran into Yugi and a bored Mokuba.
"Hey, you guys want to come to my birthday party?" Mokuba asked, suddenly hyper. "There's gonna be lots of food and music and people and games and...and...food...and, stuff."
"Sure we'll come," Yugi said quickly. "Right Yami?" Yugi asked, turning toward him. "Pweese?" Yugi said giving the world's biggest and most adorable chibi eyes.
"Like he's gonna say 'no'," Zora cooed, bending down to hug the adorable Yugi. "You are too cute for your own good, you know that?"
"Yep!" And with that the three left for home.
Joey's point of view
'Oh, great! Now where am I?' Joey thought to himself. He had been wandering around for fifteen minutes. Then he saw Mokuba heading down the stairs. "Mokuba!" Joey called, "Do ya know where Yug' went?"
"Yeah," he called back, "they left ten minutes ago." As Joey stood frozen with shock, Mokuba jumped down the stairs. "THEY LEFT ME!!"
Zora's point of view (3rd person)
'I can't believe Yami punched Seto! What was he thinking?!' Zora was sitting on the couch with Yami on one side and Yugi on the other. They were watching the t.v. when the door swung back on its hinges with a resounding "BANG!".
Framed in the doorway was a very soggy Joey. A flash of lightning ripped across the sky and the thunder followed soon after. No one spoke. "You LEFT me at KAIBA'S!" came Joey's accusing cry.
'I think I'm going to go now...' Zora thought Yugi apparently had the same idea because as one they slowly edged out of the room, leaving Yami to deal with the wet and angry Joseph.
~Three days later at Mokuba's party...~
"Wow! Look at all the people!" Ryou said to Zora. "There's Seto, Mokuba, Bakura, Yami, Yugi, Malik, Joey, Tristen, Anzu, me, and you! Wow!"
"Yes, Ryou. Lots of people. I get it. You don't need to say the name of everyone who walks through the door." But Ryou wasn't listening; he was staring into space with a vacant grin. "Ryou. Ryou?" Zora said waving her hand in front of his face. He didn't even blink.
Zora left the vapid Ryou to his own devices and sought out Seto and Mokuba.
When she came up to them, Mokuba started to clutch at his hair and yelled, "No! No! You can't! It took me years to get it this long! AAH! GIANT SCISSORS!!" Zora turned, bewildered, to Seto.
He looked as shocked as she did. Suddenly he fell to his knees and started to grovel to Mokuba. "Oh mighty Blue Eyes White Dragon, most powerful, I am your servant!" (Mokuba was now running around in little circles screaming about giant floating scissors that wanted to cut his hair to a normal length).
"I think I'm going to go over there now," said Zora as she moved away from the brothers Kaiba.
"Oh hey, Zora!" Joey called to her, waving from across the room. She walked over to him. Joey got a glazed look in his eyes, he said, "Wow! I never realized how much food Kaiba had. Mmm...food...!" Joey seized a pillow and promptly began to chew on the tough fabric.
"Joey!"
"Don't worry about him," a voice said behind her. It was Bakura. "He was always critically insane."
Zora eyed him, "Okay, and you are?"
Bakura, however, was staring at the chips and dip like it was going to fly away at any moment. "Hah HAH! Gold!" He rushed over to the table and started to shove the food into his pockets.
'What the hell is up with everyone?!' Zora, very disturbed now, ran to Tristan and Malik, and pulled them to Bakura (now putting handfuls of chicken wings into his pants), gibbering wildly about an insane tomb robber wanting to horde food in his pants, and unbalanced friends chewing on pillows and running from giant scissors they alone can see.
Tristan then ran after Bakura, who was running around aimlessly and shoving food into random places on his body (not those random places you nasty person!) saying, "Oh, don't run away Serenity! I love you! Marry me!"
Zora caught a glimpse of something that made her double take. Malik was in the process of trying to strangle a slipper. "Ha ha ha! Now die you foolish mortal!"
Anzu came over. Neither liked the other, needless to say, since Anzu liked Yami and she considered Zora a 'threat'. "Oh hi, Zora." She sneered. Zora narrowed her eyes at the exceedingly annoying girl. She was thinking of many painful and humiliating injuries she could inflict on Anzu, when Anzu suddenly collapsed on the floor and started to yell that Zora had paralyzed her.
Zora couldn't handle it, "ARGH!" she cried. "You people are driving me insane!"
Yugi and Yami came over to see what she was yelling about. Only Yugi, however, made it to Zora's side. Yami had tripped over Seto who was in the process of making a Blue Eyes White Dragon idol out of Popsicle sticks.
"Whee! Look at all the toys and games and little floaty hearts and bubbles and moons and stars and..." Yugi went on and on in this dazed state. Yami had, finally, realized what was going on.
"Zora," he called to her from a safe distance, "what's that on your wrist?"
"This?" she asked. "I don't know. I think it's a Sennen Item. A hobo in the street gave it to me. I meant to show it to you, but I kinda forgot."
"Well, take it off!" Zora did so and instantly everyone was back to normal. Since they had no memory of their hallucinations, Seto wondered why he was covered in Popsicle sticks and glue, Bakura wondered why he had food in his pockets, and Joey was spitting out the stuffing from the pillows he had ripped open. Seto was not happy at having glue on his favorite trench coat, or having most of his food down Bakura's shirt, or having his pillows and slippers ripped to shreds.
"Out! Out!" he commanded, shooing everybody to the door, "because of you, I have to clean all this up! Go home before that mutt chews up more of my stuff and I have to put him in a kennel!" As they were unceremoniously dumped on the doorstep Joey humphed. "Dat jerk tinks he's so great...huh! I'd like ta show him a thing or two."
"Now, Joey," said Anzu, "Kaiba was just mad. Now if he had a few good friends like us around, we could help him with all of his problems because that's what friends do. Right? Right guys?."
Anzu found herself standing alone and five figures down the street, looking very relieved that they could no longer hear her.
