Author's note: Again, apologize for the delay in this chapter. *Wipes away tear* I have such nice reviewers!
Let me state something. I, once again, I've written something that doesn't move the story along one bit. I'm having writers block and all I've been writing are small ideas that I've had and making them into one chapter. *Sigh* I'm hoping to finish this story soon, but at the rate I'm going… ah, well…
LOL. I have a small story to tell you. Last week, my father and I were watching T.V. and I turned on Yu-Gi-Oh for a bit. My dad, being bored commented about everything that was in YGO. The funniest thing he said was, "Why is that guy wearing a dress-cape?" LOL!! He was talking about Kaiba (I was furious b/c I love Kaiba, but still it was funny!)
Disclaimer: If I'd own Yu-Gi-Oh, well, I don't own
Yu-Gi-Oh, but if I did, oh the fantasies that would be finally realized!
Chapter 16: Please Remain Seated!
…A man could go mad here… thought one irritated Seto Kaiba. As far as he could see in throughout the auditorium, women gathered in groups, conversing with one another. He felt he was watching something out of the discovery channel, watching huge packs gather. All that was left was for one male specimen to come and those huge herd of women to destroy him in an instant.
"Quit fidgeting!"
"I'm NOT fidgeting, woman!" Kaiba barked at his companion, Mai. She'd once again interrupted his thinking. His patience was wearing thin. All he's heard from Mai since Day one was how many flaws he had in being a woman. "Kaiba, walk straight!" "Kaiba, stick your chest out!" "Kaiba, tuck your butt in!" It took all he had not to throw something at her.
Kaiba had a plan and that plan keep him from going insane. He could only endure such a façade for so long. The first chance he sees that Blue Eyes White Dragon card, he'll rip them to shreds and run like the Trix Rabbit would… only there'd be no cereal and he won't be caught by evil, unloving children.
"I wonder what Pegasus is planning?" Mai asked, trying to strike a conversation with the silent Seto Kaiba.
The CEO let out a faint "hm" sound. But then a thought struck him. He groaned at one possibility of Pegasus's plans, he begged to a higher power to not even let this evening turn into "funny-bunny marathon."

"Sit more lady like, brother!" Serenity suggested to her brother, who'd right now sat in his seat, slumped and bored.
"Sorry, sis, I'm just a little bothered if I cross my legs" Joey received a shock look from his sister, "Uh, well, you know, I'm a guy, I get uncomfortable doing that."
"Ne, brother, did you go to our room yet?"
"Serenity, remember call me sister, or Joni! They said we'd have to wait here for Pegasus to welcome us before we can go up. Man, I'm getting bored!"
"MAN?!? Where? I'm not a guy" a short, girl yelled out frantically, overhearing what Joey had said.
"Eh?" Joey looked for the individual that had interrupted his conversation with his sister. He'd hoped they hadn't heard his sister call him, 'brother' "Hey, why don't you mind your own business, lady! I didn't call you a man, I just said 'Man, I'm getting bored!'"
"Oh, ehehehehehe" she turned around and excused herself.
…Wait a minute! That laugh! Joey stood still for a moment, stifled with fear.
"What's wrong, Joni?" Serenity asked.
…It can't be… Joey just couldn't believe it. …that… that… that… was… Weevil Underwood!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
"Hey, have you found out where the rare cards are. Hey, where'd did he go" another girl asked, searching for another girl. She stopped and spootted the same girl Joey had identfied earlier as Weevil.
AND THAT'S REX RAPTOR!!!!
"Joni, if you really have to go the bathroom, then just go!" the startled Serenity suggested after seeing Joey make those weird faces.
"Serenity, you will NOT believe who that was!!"
"That chick with the glasses?"
"Yeah, that's Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor!!!"
"So?"
"So?!?! You mean your not shocked by the fact that a guy is dressed up as a girl to participate in this competition?"
"Um, well I'm more shocked by YOU participating in this tournament…"

Evil thought brew through the mind of Yami Bakura. He'd been sitting in the reception room for nearly five minutes and he was at the brink of a violent outburst. The cause of this pent up anger? He's partner in all this Tea ran off somewhere and he was stuck in between several women, gossiping about the latest issue of Duel Monster Digest.
"Yugi is definitely a cutie. Awe, look at those eyes!"
"Can you imagine being with Kaiba for a moment?" Collective sighs ran through the group.
"Hey, look at this, there's a mysterious duelist listed here. It says he participated in Duelist Kingdom and challenged Yugi Mutou to a duel, but lost!"
"The poor thing"
"According to this, he has white long hair and the most innocent face."
Innocent face? White hair? RYOU!!!
Bakura snatched the issue away from one of the girls and took a look at the page they were speaking about. He paused for a moment, looking seriously at the content of the article "…AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! They're talking about Ryou! HAHAHAHAHA! Who'd put that fool in this article?"
"Hey! That's mine!" the girl yelled, pointing to the magazine that Bakura currently had in his hand.
"HAHAHAHAHA, they're calling Ryou 'Most Adorable' " he breathed out heavily, "Ah, I can't wait till I post this on that fool's wall. I can see his red face now…."
"Hey, I'm talking to you give that back!"
"You want it back…?" Bakura asked, using that mischievous tone he was known for, he stopped and reached in his pocket for a duel monster card he'd use especially for this girl.
BANG!!!
"Here you go miss, here's your magazine." An individual appeared before Bakura, hitting him over the head. The girl took this opportune moment to yank the magazine away from Bakura.
Bakura growled, "Who dares--- What are you doing here?"
Malik grinned at Bakura, of course disguised still as Malon. "Just testing out my scepter here!" he raised the Millennium Rod, the one he'd decorated with glitter and bows.
Bakura's eyes widened in surprise, "You have a scepter?"
"Yeah, it's cool for whacking people unconscious. It's so fun causing harm onto others!" Malik hugged his Mill. Rod, a.k.a. Malik's scepter, he then waved at Bakura "See you around, I have to find my buddies. Hope that they've woken up by now! Bye!"
"… yeah, bye…" Bakura was unsure of what to say to her. The strange behavior was enough to confuse anyone. "I've had it! I'd been waiting for the Millennium Item holder to appear and nothing! I have to use the Ring in order to find them! I have no choice but to use it!"
Bakura stood in middle of the large room, and took out his Millennium Ring from under his shirt. He held it up high and waited for it to show him the way to the holder of the Millennium Item. He waited for a moment. The ring turned to his right, and then to his left, then it began to spin around in a wild frenzy. "What the hell is wrong with this stupid thing?" he asked. "It can't detect where the Millennium items are! Why I don't understand—ompf!" before he knew it, the Ring had gone up and hit him straight in the face, causing him to fall backwards.
"…What's wrong with this thing…?" he groaned, lying on the ground with
a red, Millennium Ring mark on his face. "Why won't it point in one
direction?"

Isis stood in front of her brother with arms crossed, "Malik, explain yourself! Why is Rishid unconscious?"
"How'd you find me, sister?"
"The trail of unconscious people led me here. Now, explain!"
"It was self-defense!"
"I don't believe you!"
"But it's the truth, sister! They saw my scepter and wanted it for their own. They were plotting against me!"
She sighed at her brother, "Just mind control them and erase their memories."
"But that would require work"
GLARE.
"Okay, Okay, Okay, I'm going" frantically Malik ran off, doing his sister's
bidding.

"Pharaoh, it is urgent I speak to you!"
"Keep your voice down!" Yugi hushed
"Pharaoh!" Yugi jumped up and pulled the person who'd addressed him as Pharaoh down, keeping him in a headlock. "Shadi, don't call me that here!"
"But Pharaoh, I--" his sentence was cut as Yugi clamped his hands over his mouth.
"Sshhhh!" Yugi warned, "Be quite!! How'd you find me?"
"Pharaoh, I--" Shadi felt Yugi's grip grow tighter, "ah, your hurting me."
"Stop calling me Pharaoh!"
"Apologize Pharaoh" Yugi applied more force, "Ack! I mean, uh, your Excellency, but you must be forewarned!"
"I've been forewarned enough this year Shadi, I understand my role as Yami's partner, but you coming here, where men are forbidden is unacceptable!"
"Then, why are you here my Pharaoh!"
"GAH! Shut up! I told you to keep your mouth shut."
"I sense great darkness and anxiety within you. I will use my Millennium Item to search your soul"
"You'll sense more than great darkness and anxiety if you don't leave. I have business here, I'll go back to finding Yami's memories later!"
"Very well, my Pharaoh." Yugi let's go of Shadi, but pulls at his hair in utter frustration over Shadi. "… by the way…. Nice dress…." He disappears.
"ARGH!!!" Yugi yelled in frustration.

"Look here, Otogi-sama is 'Most Creative'" Otogi Girl # 2 showed her copy of Duel Monsters Digest to Otogi Girl # 2.
"Whoa, look here. They're calling Malik Ishtar 'Most Mysterious'! I want to meet him. He looks stalk-worthy!"
"OH MY, Don't move!!!!"
"What, what is it?" Otogi frantically looked at Otogi Girl # 3.
"You have a split end!!"
Collective gasps were heard among the vultures known as Otogi Girls.
"I ask myself, why, oh WHY, do I suffer this way?" he looked at his so-called companions, who once again were in a fight on who'd cut off Otogi's split end.
Casually, Otogi scanned the auditorium he was sitting at. He then looked forward to find Serenity and her friend, Joni sitting two rows in front.
"Hey, Serenity!" Otogi turned to see the voice calling out to his Serenity was that of Tristan Taylor. Immediately he stood up and ran in front of Tristan's way.
"Say, Mr. Taylor, do you mind getting me a glass of water?" he slyly asked.
"Sure, no problem. Anything else?"
"Yeah, hold up" Otogi turned his back at Tristan. Tristan looked over his shoulder, and saw that Otogi was writing something down. "Here!" he said, "Here's a list of all the needs I have!"
"You need cat nip?" Tristan raised a brow.
"Yes." Otogi plainly stated, "I need it A.S.A.P."
"Okay…" Tristan sounded confused, "Young miss, and this list has too many demands it might take a while."
I was counting on that "I'm sure you'll do your best" Otogi batted his eyelashes at Tristan. I'm going to feel dirty in the morning, but he's buying it! Bwhahahah, I am good!

"Sorry, I had to use the ladies room." Tea said, taking her seat besides Mai.
"Don't worry nothing happened. Where'd did your friend go Tea?" Mai asked.
"I don't know, one minute she's here, the next she's off somewhere. Hey, is she all right?" Tea pointed over to Kaiba, who'd look upset at the moment.
"She's just naturally crabby" Mai whispered, out of Kaiba's earshot.
"LADIES, WELCOME TO PEGASUS GRAND TOURNAMENT. WE ASK THAT YOU TAKE YOUR SEATS, AS WE WILL BE STARTING MOMENTARILY!"
"Oh, Thank God!" one really loud voice rang throughout the entire auditorium.
"Don't be so loud, Joni!"
"Sorry about that!!"
-~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~-~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~-
"LADIES, I HAVE THE GRAND PLEASURE OF INTRODUCING YOUR PAIR OF HOSTS TONIGHT! LET'S HAVE WARM WELCOME FOR MOKUBA KAIBA AND PEGASUS J. CRAWFORD"
There was applause, until one voice yelled over the whole thing, the voice belong to one angry individual, "WHAT!?!?! MOKUBA!!!!!!!!"
Mai sat calmly in her seat, looking embarrassed at Kaiba's outburst,
she muttered under he breath "The point was to be as discrete as possible…"
