Disclaimers: - Don't own YGO if I did then…….I would own all the M.Iteams!!!

A/N:- I was 18 on the 27th of Nov! YAY! GO ME!!!! ^^;;

--------------------------------------

It was about 7:45pm, the nights were drawing in quicker than expected, considering it was autumn and not a single rain-drop in sight! I'm so glad I left England!

 People were hustling and bustling through Verona's busy cobble-stoned streets in which the soft, ivory glow of the streets lamps gave it that authentic yet romantic look.

 Me, Chi-Mo, Kurai, Jasmine and Renoun were running about and swinging around the street lamps whilst DMG was pick-pocketing passer-by's. Yami kept making comments on how he would run the place if he was in charge.

"People should be working, not drinking and making fools of them selves!" He stated rather sulkily. Kathy and Kanika held a bottle of vodka each in their hands, whistling innocently before downing the bottles in one swig. I'm thinking of sending Kathy to one of those drinking contest – apparently, when she was back in the old country, she could out drink the river god (Until she met the Tomb Robber and the rest was history).

"I'm hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" Joey Moaned, we could hear his bottomless-pit growl at us rather angrily. So we decided to stop by in one of those fancy –yet humble

restaurants. Marik scouted around the place to check for 'squirrels' a huge sweat drop appeared on DMG's head.

"All clear!" he called out. That guy scares me! I don't why, but when he looks at me, I swear he's got a plot to disembowel me…..a bit like Bakura sometimes, only for the fact that Bakura's eyes twitch and the veins in his head pop out when Marik takes the piss out of him, resulting in little Yugi failing terribly to reason the two men into not fighting – 'men' *sniggers* THAT's a laugh!

We sat down and Tristan sparked off a conversation – Romeo and Juliet…..oh Joy…

"I can't believe that Miho's Juliet! I mean, she's been every single female main character that I could think of! I should have been Romeo! Not Mr 'oh look at me I'm so cute! " Tristan slammed his fist down before suddenly realising what he had just said about my Ryou….wait…did I just say 'My Ryou'?

Kathy punched him in the gut. "You twit!" she snarled and rammed his face into the table – I know must control my Yami much better than this, but my mind's gone somewhere else at the moment….mmmm his soft, white hair and deep, sincere earthy brown eyes and –

"Katyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hello? Earth to Katy? Houston, we have a problem, Katy's mind's drifting off again" I heard Kurai imitating a NASA space man whilst Malik waved his hands in front of my face.

"Huh? Oh sorry guys" I smiled, not noticing that Yami was looking above my head.

"Mind if I joined you?" I spun around to put a face to the sweet, angelic voice I heard. I began to blush, redder and redder until my face was the same colour as Kathy's hair! Why me??

"Sure, we were just discussing about the play Ryou" Chi-Mo smiled out of politeness and motioned him to sit in the spare chair – in between Kanika and Kathy who were surprisingly having a card game of 'shit-head'. Where those two drunkards just happened to be sitting opposite to me, arguing over who cheated. I knew the Verona vodka bomb would be too much for them to handle considering the loser would have to down a shot of the strong liquor.

"I laid down an acesh! *hic* you can't put a King on it! *hic*" Kathy was swaying to and fro whilst Kanika was answering her back.

"Listen 'ere Shurura *hic* Ashes are lower than Kingies so I laid him! Oh wait, that *hic* came out fuddy..." She slurred her words before falling over backwards and hitting the cold grey/blue tiles. Kathy on the other hand, passed out and landed on Bakura's lap which resulted him being teased by Yami and Marik because the poor thief was too stiff to move – if you know what I mean.

Renoun started to get bored and decided to have an early night – mind you, being a teacher of sword fighting for the play must be tiring. *sighs* oh well, at least I get to make the music and that *grins*

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! FREAKY MINI-MAN!" One of the waiters shouted out before we caught on what was happening. The next thing we knew was that the restaurant was being over-run by Kuribos! Apparently Yugi was fed up waiting for his shrimp salad and decided to get his lackey to get his food – only to be chopped up by the chef who thought it was a shaggy sheep.

"YUGI!!!" Jasmine hollered and panned him. Malik and Marik thought it would be fun to take their girlfriends on one of the motor bikes they stolen a few minutes ago, leaving me, Chi-Mo, Joey, Ryou and the others desperately trying to put the Kuribos back into Yugi's deck.

"Jeeze I know your lacking in stature Yug, but I didn't know brain power too!" Joey commented.

Well that put the icing on the cake! Yugi started to sob uncontrollably! If Kanika and Kathy were to here to see this (Yami and Bakura had to take them back to the hotel for safety reasons) they would of turned him into mince meat!! This is very unusual for him; maybe it's because he's been reading too much poetry or heard that Jasmine likes sensitive types – which ever came first. Yugi was well chuffed when Jasmine lead him out and treated him to ice-cream. I want Ice cream……

We stood outside the restaurant. For as late as it was, I wasn't sleepy at all, but then again I loved the night skies more than I did ice-cream.

"Joey I think it's best if we leave now, we do have a big day tomorrow, learning our lines as Lord and Lady Capulet" Chi-Mo said as looked at me as if to ask if I was going to be ok on my own. I smiled and told her that she should get a good nights rest.

"So what do you want to do now?" Drat, I forgot that had my dreamboat behind me, being all gentlemen like.

"Well it is getting late y'know Ryou and –"

"You hate me don't you?" Oh god no! Please don't let him think that I do! Must think fast!

"No! ….I don't it-it's just that I'm concerned that if you don't get enough sleep, you might not feel ready in the morning to memorise your lines." I said worryingly.

I continued, shaking with the sudden chill wind that whipped through the cold streets.

"Besides, I have to 'look after' Seto and teach him his role as Prince Escalus as well as what princes were expected to do in those times"

He smiled at me. Ouuu I'd would love him to hold me the way he does Miho in the play…..

"Katy I just want to say that……I wish I could take Seto's place so that I could –" I knew what he was going to say. I wish that he didn't think himself inferior to Seto.

"But then I wouldn't be able to fall for that Romeo as I do this Romeo" I replied, turning away and started to make my way back to the hotel. Only to be stopped by Ryou gently grabbing my arm. He tried to act Shakespearian which put a smile on my face.

"Then do you not think that I prefer this true, modest Juliet than that who thinks she's the moon and stars?"

I-I-I can't help it, it's his eyes, so sincere…..so…..human…….

"I –I-I must go Ryou, it's nearly ten o'clock….you must get some rest" his face saddened.

"Th-Then can I walk you back? Are you coming to the practices? Can I buy you lunch tomorrow?"

I smiled softly, making him blush even more than I did.

"Sure, but expect Seto to be with us tomorrow"
