Chapter 4 - The bath-house of horrors

Author Rant---

Ren: Bum bum bummmmmmm.......I finished yet another chapter! YAY!

(P.S. Gackt is a japanese singer. He is really sexy and supper hot. I love his voice. And if anyone tries to steal him! You don't even want to know what might happen...........not saying that I own him, though I wish I did.........)

~Back to Yugi and Shikyo~

"Whoa.....this is a public bath house?!" Shikyo said in amazment of the large neon lighted building.

"Yup. The best in town."

"Awsome Yug. I never expected to see you here!" A well-known voice said behind them. Shikyo turned around to see the one and only Jonouchi Katsuya and his sister Shizuka Katsuya.

"Hi Jonouchi, long time no see huh."

"Yeah.....so what are the two of you doing here?" Shikyo questioned.

"Our house is a living popsicle!"

"What my brother ment to say was that there is no more hot water in our house, so we have to come to the public bath house."

"Yeah. What my sis said."

"Would it be ok if we joined the two of you Yugi?"

"No problem. Though I must warn you Shizuka," Yami bent down to Shizuka's ear and whispered, "this is Shikyo's first time to a public bath house. So do you think you could kind of help her out or something?"

When Yami stood up strait Shizuka's answer was a simple nod. Jonouchi and Shikyo looked at the both of them confused at what had just happened.

"Come on Shikyo! I'll show you around!" Shizuka exclaimed as she ran inside the building draging her along.

"Hey Yug....."

"What is it Jonouchi?"

"What did you tell my sister?"

"Oh......I really shouldn't say.....it's kind of embarassing....."

"Come on Yug! Were best buds!"

"Fine, fine, BUT don't tell Shikyo about this."

"Ok. You have my word."

"I warned Shizuka that this is Shikyo's first time to a public bath house."

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah.....BUT you must NOT tell Shikyo that I told you!"

"Darn.....ok."

"Now, lets go on in!"

"Yeah!"

Yami pondered why Jonouchi was so happy and eager to get inside once they had paid the cashier. It didn't dawn upon him untill he saw the quick glances he kept throwing in the girls direction of the public baths.

"Jonouchi......are you ok?"

"Yeah boobie---I mean Yugi."

"Uhhhh.....Jonouchi. You're not thinking about trying to get a look at the girls baths are you?"

"I would never think of such a brilliant plan like that."

"Jonouchi....."

"What?"

"Do not go over to the girls baths if you don't want Anzu on you tommorow."

"NO!! You wouldn't Yugi! My best bud in the whole world. Come on! One quick look. That's all I'm asking!"

"You are such a pervert."

"Hey! I know you want to get a peek at your girlfriend too, don't you! Don't lie, I know you want to."

Yugi's cheeks flared red at the thought of Shikyo in the baths completely naked.

"HAH! I KNEW IT! You are a little pervert just like me Yugi! Come on.....let's go and see if we can spot anything good."

~Meanwhile on the other side of the baths~

"I'm not so shure about this Shizuka....."

"Don't fret Shikyo. You have nothing to worry about!"

"But still.....I just don't feel comfortable being with so many other people."

"If you're that afraid you could just take a bath in your clothes if that suits you better...."

"No, no......I'll cooperate."

"Good. Come on then."

Shikyo and Shizuka entered the baths wraped in a towl each. Shizuka walked onwards toward an empty bathing area while Shikyo stood dumbfounded by the door.

"Uhhhh.....Shikyo....what are you doing?"

"I don't know what to do...."

"Okkk......just come over here and sit on the stool next to me."

"Fine...."

Shikyo reluctantly walked over towards the empty stool next to Shizuka. Once Shizuka had showed her what was what she began to take her bath....

~Back to Jonouchi and Yugi~

"Jonouchi! What are you doing?!"

Jonouchi was trying to climb over the wall that seperated the boys side from the girls side. Though his attempts were in vain seeing as the wall was made of tile.

"Trying to get to the other side!"

"Did you ever think of trying to swim under the wall by the baths?"

"No. But that's a great idea!"

Jonouchi almost ran to the baths, dove in and was assumidly swimming over to the girls area.

~At the time in the girls baths~

"Hey Shizuka....."

"What's up Shikyo?"

"What are those large tubs for over there?"

"Oh those? They are just for relaxing, kinda like a spa or hotsprings if you will."

"I would like to try it out...."

"Then lets go!"

They both walked to the large baths and submerged their bodies slowly unlike Jonouchi made an unexpected appearance.....

~Getting back to the infamous Jonouchi~

It was a bit of trouble for Jonouchi to get into the girls side since the squares that let water flow between the two sides where a bit small. Though this did not stop him from the glory he was about to see just beyond the horrid wall. He knew that if he didn't act fast he could drown, but he was determined. Slowly he wiggled out of the tight square and was on the girls side of the baths. Looking up he saw two girls entering the baths and where about to step on his face! He was about to scream in shock when he relized he was still in water, acting quickly he swam to the other side of the bath as close to the bottom as possible so he wouldn't be seen. His lungs began to grow slower at a rapid pace. No longer able to hold his breath, he broke the surface of the water breathing deaply.

"OH MY GOD! JONOUCHI!?" were the sounds that reached his ears first.

"Huh?" Turning around he saw his sister and Shikyo staring wide eyed at him with shock etched on their faces.

"Big brother! What are you doing here!" Shizuka screeched.

"Hehehe.....uhhh.....hi girls."

"DIE!" Fuming with rage Shikyo walked through the water right to the trembling Jonouchi and kicked him through the wall to the boys side. "Serves you right you good-for-nothing pervert!"

Yami however, was quite shocked to find Jonouchi suddenly fly through the tile wall. Looking through the imprint Jonouchi made he saw Shikyo breathing heavely as her towl slowly dropped from her body, and sank to the bottom of the tub. It took both Yami and Shikyo a few seconds to register what was happening. Yami turned away blushing professedly, while Shikyo looked down to see her body bare and squeaked in fright trying to cover her naked body under the water.

"I think we should go now.....before the manager gets angry....." Shizuka said a little shaken.

"I must agree with you....." Shikyo said as she crawled out of the pool slowly.

~Outside the bath-house~

Jonouchi appologized many times to Shikyo before his sister stepped in and helped him out. Shikyo was still filled with rage, but decided to let Jonouchi go for the moment.

The pair took their leave going the opposite direction of Jonouchi and Shikyo. The silence between them was unbearable for Shikyo. Breaking the ice, she took hold of Yami's hand and squeezed it lovingly. He looked down and blushed, squeezing her hand back. She smiled and rested her head on his sholder. The two of them stayed quite for the whole trip back to the game shop.

As Yami went into his room to change into his pajamas, Shikyo went into the bathroom. Her PJ's consisted of a simple over-large T-shirt with a picture of the millinium eye and really short-shorts (hidden by the shirt).

When she walked into Yami's room, she found Yami had turned back into little Yugi. He was fast asleep on his bed in a cute long sleeve, long pants PJ outfit with little stars and moons. Smiling to herself, she laid down on the floor and feel asleep remembering the days events....
