Author's note: HA! I have returned! After a long, boring two weeks, I felt like attempting another chapter. I have the feeling I am stretching this story a bit. Well anyways, probably one or two more chapters till that "special" chapter! Thanks for your support everyone! I do feel worn out and lost, so my old touch won't be too much in this chapter.... ah it sucks to be in a rut!
Cettie-girl – I wanted to kill the middle one so bad… uh anyways enough about my plotting. Thanks for reviewing; nice of you to do it again, it makes me happy!
Sarah – I know a lot of Sarah's… I'm starting to think you people are multiplying… hmmmm… well thanks for reviewing!
Unicornfan – MORE! MORE! I demand more! But you can't handle more now can you! HA! Aeris died… boo-hoo! Talk to you later buddy!
Dee-whY-Cee-aRe – I have to ask you another favor, I forgot that I gave Malik another last name… but please, if you would can I use your idea for a last name for another character? I'd REALLY appreciate it, and sorry! Thanks for reviewing.
Water Dragon – You know, you're the only one who has me as a fav. Author for this story, and I feel so happy that you have! It means a lot! No, it really does! I feel that I'm not a very good writer, but that one little act allows me to continue with this story. Thank you!
Dreamy-eyes – I'm trying to move with plot, I'm racking my brain to get me out of writing more chapters, but I can't fit this story accordingly, so I'm writing little by little each chapter. Sorry for the not moving too fast! Don't worry only the next chapter and bum-bum-bum the other chapter will be "revelation" time.
sakuya – Did I go too far? You can have Peggy (he's hilarious by the way!) if I can have Seto, but that's if I had that power… but I don't… WAH!!! Otogi's Girls can be scary… I'm serious… they have that aura about them! Evil I tell ya, EVIL!
Random Rockstar – Buddy! I want a perk me up too, but the family considers it too much of a high if I have caffeine… darn them and their meddling ways! Really, thank you so much for reviewing!
Adelianna – I just saw you put me on your favs, thanks! I like your story, but I'm sorry I haven't read anything lately. I'm too busy with my life, I haven't have time to read anything. I'll read it hopefully, after I'm done with writing this chapter.
Georgia – Otogi IS hot! Ba-boom! All right, I've given you one small little cameo in this chapter (SORRY I'm BAD AT INSERATION!). Best I can do, and I hope it's enough to full fill your request. I'll have you appear in the tournament too, just remind me about that once I get into that part of the story (I'm forgetful)! Okay one thing, you are so cool for writing an awesome review! I'm glad and VERY happy that you did!
Trupana – I don't know why but to me Otogi will be a player… don't know why… hm… I told you my reasons against Isis/Seto, so yeah none of that! I hope I fulfilled your hint on Mai/Seto in this chapter. I'm thinking of more, but for now I made at least one hint! Thanks again for reviewing for my weird story!
linzy8554 – A new REVIEWER! (*Throws confetti*) I like Otogi just as much as I like Yugi, Joey, and Bakura (Malik and Kaiba are on top… of my list… uh that's it!), so he has to be included too! I should spread the torture around, should I not?
Celtic Guardian Princess – Who's next, pretty much everyone!
I wanted to dedicate one chapter to one character and so I did! Funny
review, Otogi popping out and Yugi has a gambling problem… hmmm gives me
an idea… thanks for the review!

Steps to Success Part 1
"AHH the horrible pain!!"
"I'm only painting your nails Bakura!"
"Um... sorry" Bakura blushed; embarrassed by the fact he was screaming at something so insignificant. He did feel as if he was slowly hacking at his masculinity.
"So… uh…." What to say… Bakura thought. "How about those… uh…" What's a stupid mortal sports team again? In his times there weren't such things as 'teams' only those who were victims, or in Bakura's mind, entertainment. "How are the… Raiders…?" Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Bakura repeated in his mind, there were no such things as 'Tomb' Raiders team, why'd he even go and say there was even one.
"Okay… only need the finishing touch… oh sorry Bakura were you talking about something?"
"I was saying, you know how are those uh…" Bakura mumbled the last part. "…Team"
"What?"
" You know, the Spor--"
"We have to get to some shopping Bakura, I doubt my clothes will fit you." Tea said. "What were you saying?"
"S-P-O-R-T" Bakura spelled out.
"But of course we could, try but I wouldn't be too comfortable with that!"
"Sports…"
"Have you heard of that new shop they opened last week?" Tea continued concentrating at the task at hand.
Bakura sweat-dropped. Seems at the drop or hint of the word "sports"; Tea would immediately change the subject! Is it true what they said, do women not care about bloodshed, free-for-all, and cheat out of your way, game, he called "sport"? It was simply unthinkable of such of thing!
"There! All done!" Tea sweetly smiled as she applied the last coat of pink nail polish.
Let me test this theory, "Tea, have you ever heard of football—"
"LOOK!" She interjected, "we're only two days away from the big day! We're going to have to hurry!"
Just as I thought… Wait a minute! "Tea, I can't go out with polished nails! Just give me the blasted… er… please…." A chill went through Bakura; again he was polite "…pass the nail polish remover."
As Bakura made a grab for the bottle of Nail Polish Remover, Tea, in
a low menacing voice, "Touch that and you're a dead man."

"Okay, Rishid, is the wax hot enough?"
"Yes, Miss Isis, I also brought the strips." Rishid entered the room, placing several items across a table.
Malik Ishtar sat quizzically looking to what his sister and most faithful sidekick were doing. As far as he knew, they brought a pot full of honey and large white bandages…oh the poor fool.
"Okay, Malik focus on me" Isis warned. "No, Malik don't look over there! Ignore the waxing material."
"Um… Ne-san…. I'm a bit confused, what exactly are you going to do." Malik asked, not having a clue because of his closed life in the underground.
"All right, see I'm going to take this Popsicle stick and use it to apply some wax on your leg."
"Sounds simple enough." Malik chirped, while Rishid tried not to stiff a laugh, "then what?"
"I'm going to cover it with a bandage…"
"Great, cause it's really hot! Does the bandage heal… YOWWWWW!!!!"

"I had to use the Jaws of Life… but with this extra hair straightener I did it!" Yugi's mom triumphantly exclaimed.
"Even if we had to go through eight of them… Yugi, what do you have in your hair?" Yugi's Grandpa asked.
Yugi nervously chuckled, "um… stress from too many death duels…?"
"Yugi, don't' be ridiculous! Death duels? Don't make me laugh!" Grandpa huffed.(Uh… yeah…Yugi don't be ridiculous! Death Duels don't exist! It's just a harmless card game…yeah….)
Deeply sighing, Yugi only sat there, as he looked towards his mother, then his grandfather, if only they knew....

"Otogi-kun!" Otogi Girl #2 cooed.
"Oh…" he moaned, "what is it now?"
"Guess what Otogi-sama!"
"OH MY GOSH! You did not try to outdo me again!" Otogi Girl #3 yelled.
"No I didn't!"
"Ladies!!!" Otogi yelled, "What is it?"
"We found you a make-up artist! She even agreed to do your makeup while your still tied up in that cute chair with the 'Otogi' covers we made for you!"
"It's a wonderful throne really, for our wonderful Otogi!"
Indeed the women had tied up Otogi in a chair, with his face sewn in the perfectly good chair. It was too bad, poor Otogi was sitting on his own face, strapped against his will! Thankfully, the girls haven't had time to assault him. They keep arguing amongst themselves before they could make a move against the vulnerable Otogi.
"Otogi! Are you listening to us?" Otogi Girl #1 pouted.
"Yes! Why wouldn't I! But it's getting a little tight for me to think, mind loosening the ropes?" So I can get the hell out of here!
"Okay!" As she was about to help Otogi get free, the other two girls grabbed her by the arms and dragged her off. They were once again fighting on who should have the opportunity to touch!
Great Otogi thought. They're fighting on who should let me free when they're supposed to be holding me captive! One won't let the other two touch me… why couldn't I have had better fan girls!
"Hi!" Someone called out, "Someone called for a make up artist!"
Otogi lifted his head up and watched another female enter a room.
"Hi! I'm Georgia! How are you?" She extended her hand, as Otogi looked up to her gesturing that in his current situation, namely he was tied up, how could he greet her? "Okay… well don't worry Otogi-kun, you're in good hands! I'm very delicate and graceful!"
As she approached Otogi with only a brush in her hands, she fell over a ripple in the carpet. Falling, she accidentally through the brush across the room, which happened to pierce through a portrait of Otogi, right in… a painful place.
Otogi was afraid, deathly afraid!

"Joey… why won't you consent to other forms of creating… um… helpers…" Serenity was beyond embarrassed. She wasn't comfortable about talking about um the female anatomy, especially to her brother!
"Serenity! If I stuff a bra with tissue, it'll be fine!" Joey assured his sister.
"I don't know Joey, what if you get sweaty and stuff, they'll start to scrunch, it's a typical guy stuff"
"Come on Serenity, were all not pigs" Joey commented, Serenity on the other hand was rummaging through her brother's drawers.
"Um… Joey… what's this?" She held up a magazine that she discovered underneath all of his belongings. (A/N: Joey! You bad boy!)
"…Educational magazines?" Joey tried to avoid the glare is sister gave him, he was so dead.

"Kaiba! Quit being such a baby!" Mai yelled.
"This-This-This is horrible! This isn't the best you could have done!" Seto angrily threw his arm in the air.
Mai gave a faint giggle.
Seto frowning, turned to see her, a vein formed on his forehead. "You! You…. You didn't!"
"I'm…" laugh "s-s-s-o-r-.y" she couldn't speak because she was laughing so hard. "B-B-B… Oh I'm trying not to laugh!" she cleared her throat and composed herself, yet she couldn't stop giggling. "But the leather looks really good on ya Kaiba…" her giggles turned to a roar of laughter.
The room turned eerie as Kaiba slowly etched to the mirror on his desk, and brought it up to his face. The HORROR! Not only had this woman fitted him in an ultra tight, leather dress, which he had an inkling wasn't too good for him due to the plunging neck line, he should have known better, but she did the unthinkable. She placed glitter, stars and hearts, all over his brown hair! What he thought was a foundation for his face was in fact white paint! And what she said was a new form of blush she was applying to his face, was used to form two, red circle one around each cheek!
Seto felt his veins bulging. Mai on the other hand, continued to laugh at her sick twisted joke. Grabbing a towel, he wiped all the makeup, glitter, and stickers off. Seto scowled at Mai as she continued to laugh.
"Mai… I'll kill you!" Seto yelled, as he dived to attack Mai.
"Kaiba! Wait a min--" But without realizing it, Kaiba tripped over something, falling along with Mai.
"Ni-sama, how's it going?" Mokuba asked as he walked through the door to check up on his brother. What he saw caused his mouth to drop.
Poor Mokuba, for what he found was his brother BARELY dressed (Apparently, Kaiba removed all of his clothing besides his boxers) and Mai, sprawled over the floor, in what seemed a very…. compromising…. position. The shock ridden Mokuba yelped, grabbing the attention of both Mai and Seto.
"Um…" Mai bit her lip, blushing.
"Mokuba turn around! It's not what you think!" a flustered Kaiba yelled. "What are you thinking Mokuba?!?! How could you! I mean-! Don't look this way… Oh God! What are you thinking!! No don't think that!!"

Kinda short and dumb, huh? I'm pretty tired, and I can't think of anything else. I promise the next chapter will have Yugi, Joey, Otogi, Bakura, Malik, and Seto… I'm not done with any of them! I had these ideas and wanted to write them before I forgot. I wasn't planning on another chapter, but I have MAJOR writer's block… so yeah… I'll get to it!
Review!
