Chapter 3
A Rhyming Drunkard

Late at night in a large bar, the gang hung around. Mokuba, Serenity, Mira, Téa and Yugi didn't drink. Everyone else did though. Nodoka went crazy on the shots; she was going to live it up back in the States. She loved this place; it made her forget all about her home in Japan, her worries and everything else that just boggles the mind.

Suddenly, Nodoka got up with her drink and walked around. Everyone looked at her as she walked over to Seto. She was grinning like an idiot. "Hello Seto," she said.

"Um, hi Nodoka," he paused for a while. "Are you alright?"

"Hm, perfectly fine, just peachy!" she smiled. She then looked at the fingers on her right hand and took a drink from the glass in her left hand. "I had no idea there were so many moving things on this moving thing!" she laughed. They all glanced at her. "Google-di-glop!" said Nodoka.

Terran approached the drunkard. "Nodoka, sit down, you're polluted!"

Nodoka tried to retaliate but just spun around and said, "My air is perfectly fine!" She turned to Seto and set her glass down on the table, and leaning towards him, she said, "Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss, but I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed."

A confused look came over Seto's face. "But Nodoka, we never slept with each other."

She ignored him and leaned in closer. "Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you. But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head!"

Not one person of the group could keep from laughing, except Seto, who still had an awkward look on his face.

Terran pulled Nodoka back to her seat. "Alright, sit down, have another drink!"

She took Terran's drink and gulped it down, and then once more she stood up and walked around. "Of loving beauty you float with grace, if only I could hide your face!" she said. Terran laughed. Nodoka's attack was directed directly to Seto. "Kind, intelligent, loving and hot, this describes everything you are not."

Seto stood up. "I think you've had too much to drink Nodoka."

Mokuba spoke up. "She can't go home, we live in Japan!" he said.

Walking over to Seto, Nodoka said, "I love your smile, you face, and your eyes. Damn I'm good at telling lies!"

Seto growled. "Will you just shut up?"

Walking past Seto and looking Mokuba, she said, "I saw your face as I walked by, but then I saw a better guy!" She poked Seto in the shoulder and said. "I see your face when I am dreaming, that's why I always wake up screaming."

"Where is she getting this stuff?" Yugi said while laughing.

"Who knows?" Téa laughed.

Skipping around the bar, Nodoka laughed, "My feelings for you no words can tell. Except for maybe 'go to hell'!"

"That was a burn," Mokuba said.

Going over to Mokuba she looked to Seto and said, "I thought that I could love no other, until, that is, I met your brother!"

Mokuba looked up to Nodoka with a confused look on his face, he was blushing.

Then, walking to a pool table, she climbed on it and shouted out, "What inspired this anonymous rhyme? Two parts vodka one part lime!" She indicated the numbers two and one with her fingers and fainted.

Later that day, Nodoka awoke in a hotel bed. All she heard was talking, but it was all mashed together, so she said the first thing that came to her mind. "What's my crime judge? Have I hit rock bottom? Or are my pants just missing?"

The gang looked to her awkwardly. "Is she alright?" Bakura asked.

"I don't think so," said Terran, who sat in a chair in the corner. He then snorted, "If Kaiba wasn't such a cheapskate, we would all have our own rooms. but no. " Terran sighed and crossed his arms.

Nodoka rolled over. "Chief Red-corn!" she shouted. "The monkeys have escaped!"

Mokuba, sitting on the table, looked to Nodoka in a startled manner. "I think she's really drunk."

"That's a possibility," said Mira.

Suddenly Nodoka shouted, "Fly away my crimson spaniel! Take heed of my warning and avoid the vegetables!"

"Um," Joey said. Everyone looked awkwardly at each other.

The drunken girl curled up on the bed and all was quiet. Nothing else was said that night. Nodoka was out like a light, and everyone else found a place to sleep in that one tiny room, while Seto and Mai had another room. Mokuba had refused to sleep in the same room as his brother, he wanted to make sure Nodoka was going to be okay since she did roll off of the pool table earlier in the night.

The next morning, Nodoka woke up with such a headache that it was unbearable. She stood up groggily and made her way to the bathroom. Limply, she lifted her hand and knocked on the door. "Is anyone in there?" she asked.

There wasn't a response. So she went in and locked the door. When she exited the bathroom, thirty minutes later after taking a shower, everyone was still asleep. She climbed back into bed and curled up once more, trying to sleep away her hangover.

When everyone was awake later in the day, Mokuba said, "So Nodoka, how're you?"

Nodoka responded by saying, "Haven't been hunted yet."

Everyone looked awkwardly to Nodoka. "You still drunk?" Seto asked, standing in the doorway.

"There's a possibility of that, and a possibility of evil as well," Nodoka sat on the edge of the bed. Slowly she stood up and walked over to Seto. "I'm really sorry that I said those things last night."

"Yeah, whatever," growled Seto, who then turned around and walked out of the door.

Nodoka sighed. "Apparently apologies go unnoticed." Turning around to the others she said, "Well, that's a kick in the pants."
