Shini-kuma: It's been quite awhile...and summer's already over. School is...school...and yeah. Oh lord- an update?? From me?! Doesn't that...scare any of you readers? Maybe it's the apocalypse...*twighlight music*

--Notes--

Retaw: I won't stop in the middle...though it might be awhile for my updates...-_-; *attacks sticky note on forehead* Gah! writersblock.com confuses me, quite generally, but thanks for the suggestion anyways...*narrows eyes* I hope you're still reading this. *threat threat threat*...Why am I threatening my own readers....?

Calcifer: Of course...No one will suspect..the mango...

Elle-FaTe2x1: *grins* I love it when reviewers offer food. Yay.

Saturn Imp: An affair with the mango? That's an idea...and I always *have* wondered about who was more psychotic.

--End Notes--

Uhm...It's 1:45 in the morning...Sorry in advance if this chapter turns out really bad...

Malik couldn't help the grin from spreading across his face. Back! They were back at the camp! Finally! No more bees, evil food jars, whiny companians, Malik could finally get his peace and quiet.

Before Malik could glide into his haven-tent, however, Otogi stopped him.

"What do you want?" Malik snapped, turning around and glaring at the raven-haired boy with his piercing eyes. Apparently, they intimidated Otogi a little, and he hesitated, wondering whether sleeping in the same tent with Malik was such a good idea anyhow.

'Between Ryou and Bakura, Kaiba, and Malik, I would probably be best off in Malik's tent...' Otogi thought to himself.

"Aah- Malik, is it alright if I crash in your tent?"

A few moments of silence passed, before Malik asked, "Is that all?"

"Y-yeah..."

Otogi shifted his position as another few uncomfortable moments passed.

"You only want my tent because Jou and Honda aren't good tentmates, Kaiba is a prick, and Bakura and Ryou are both insane?"

Otogi had to bite back a remark along the lines of, "You fit that category too, you know...the insane part," and nodded his head, instead.

"You want to sleep in my tent?"

"Yeah."

"..."

"..."

"...No." Malik turned and left, leaving a blinking Otogi, still trying to gather his thoughts in a neat little bundle.

'...What?...'

The green eyed boy scowled to himself. His second choice was Jounouchi and Honda, so he sighed and resigned himself to another sleepless night. 'Suck it up, princess' as someone had told him, before.

"Not a princess," Otogi muttered, before stumbling wearily into the second-choice tent. Maybe the little catnap he took earlier had helped, and he didn't need that much sleep after all...

Shini-kuma: I have a feeling that this is just getting shorter and shorter...

Anyhow, I just read somewhere...an author received a death threat for a review. Heh heh- I thought that was funny...What a great way to motivate your authour, hm? "Update or I WILL hurt you"
