This idea belongs to Reiji Harushima Dai and Kai Teng Inque. Do not steal it in any way, or thou shall not live too long. This is based off of their true (and somewhat twisted) story. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Cami says: This is written by me (hopefully you know who that is) and Reiji the coooooolest writer ever though she is really stubborn. Please don't kill me! *backs away from Reiji in horror*

Rei says: Yes, I am the coolest, and yes you'd better back away! You can visit my fan fiction spot via the username Reiji Harushima Dai. And you had better like it, too!

Cami says: Okay, just so you know, Cami is a really wild and crazy redhead, Rei is uhh, just plain crazy.

Rei says: Yes, I am crazy. But at least I have learned to ACCEPT that, unlike some other people I could mention. Also, Rei is NOT I repeat NOT paired up with Kai in this fiction! Kai is not in this fiction under his own name, but we won't point any fingers, so. Just read the damned fiction!

~~~~~~~Thursday's Boxers~~~~~~~~~

A New Year's Eve Party. Woo hoo, I care. Even though this boring event was a perfectly eligible excuse to get wasted. I really didn't want to be there. Don't get me wrong, I love to party! Only, recently things have sort of. weird. For an example, if one should just happen to look around the room, they might notice that- oh, what a surprise- everyone is paired off into couples.

Tristan and Tea, that pair was quite a shocker, but they've been together for some time now; Yami and Camryn recently got together and, just like all of the other hot new couples, they certainly couldn't keep their hands off each other. It actually became disgusting if you watched them at it for too long. Like, oh, say. Five minutes. My gaze settled on Yugi and Mai, when suddenly Mai bent down to kiss Yugi... Ouch. It wasn't that I was jealous, hell no. I was happy for Yugi... But it hurt, even though I was the one who broke it off.

It was around Christmas, so of course. we were at a Christmas party. Even though the boring event was a perfectly eligible excuse to get wasted (or at least drown myself in eggnog.) I really didn't want to be there. I was just talking to Yugi about something when Mai just bounced over. literally. She just stared at me expectantly and I stared back like a hopeless idiot- not that I did it on purpose, mind you. An instant reaction I seem to get whenever I get bombarded by idiocy. I suppose that's why when I'm around lots of people, I seem just as stupid as they. I actually pity our generation.

She looked upwards quickly, then back down at me. Out of instinct, I looked upwards and to my horror. Mistletoe was innocently hanging right above our heads. Terrific. But then I did something even I couldn't understand.

I walked away. Didn't make a big deal of it - though I can't say the same for Mai - but I just turned around, and walked away as if the other side of the room was much more interesting then she was. Then again, I wouldn't disagree with that statement either.

It was kind of like this: she was sexy, she had spunk, she's one of those girls that gave you everything you could want in a girl. But after the first week or so, it really got old. I guess I walked away 'cause I didn't want to kiss her. I guess I just didn't love her anymore. No, correction: I didn't love her anymore.

Everyone was sympathetic and told me that it happens sometimes, but it didn't make any sense. How can you go from loving somebody, to feeling nothing for them? So here I am, it's New Year's Eve, and I'm having a pitiful party just because I don't have a date. Even Rei- who didn't have a date- is having a great time. She's flirting with a bunch of guys, having fun.

I looked around the room, desperate for someone to talk to.

"Hey, mutt." I turned around to face Kaiba. Who knew he had time for parties while running a company? Or maybe he just considered ruining my life business. I was about to object to being called a dog- let alone a mutt- but, just my luck, he had to get a head start on the brewing argument.

"And you're alone. What, couldn't the poor little puppy get a date?" I glared at him and was just thinking up some good comebacks for him muttering some nonsense about who-knows-what, when a voice interrupted us. Camryn. Yeah, this is even better. If two brawling dogs aren't problem enough, throw in a cat.

"Hey, Joey." She was grinning like an idiot, as usual. She nodded her head upwards, but I didn't understand what she was getting at. Though I think Kaiba did, for he just stalked off without letting me say anything. That's like him, always has to get in the last word. He's such a stupid bastard.

"Look up."

I looked up and to my horror there was a piece of forgotten mistletoe. I had been standing under mistletoe with Kaiba. And that's what I blame my horrible thoughts on! It's not me, it's the mistletoes fault!
