Hicky: Heh! Guess what! I decided that since my brother helped me so much with LoTC… he's going to write LoTC2!
Sassy: *walks up and waves* Hi… you may remember me using such names as 'Seto' in LoTC pre/post chapter bits.
Hicky: Yep, that's him… Seto, Seth, Sassy… we're going with Sassy!
Sassy: *shakes head* I don't have a block and if I did I'd beat him to the ground if he tried to stop he writing!
Witty Phantom: Sassy! *glomps*
Sassy: *points down at the duel monster I'm being glomped by* This is my boyfriend… read his fics and review them, because he's a little review whore.
Phantom: *un-glomps Sassy* Sassy doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh… he owns meeeeeee

A Few Little Twists
Just when everything seemed to be going perfectly, everything changed. Some monster were moving, some refused to leave, others were coming… everything seemed in utter chaos. New monsters were being added to the deck, and others were being put to the side.
Dark almost gagged when he caught sight of one of the newest members to the deck. "Hide me," he whispered in Celtic's ear as the blond girl walked by.
"Why?" Celtic asked as the mage hid behind him. "Who are you hiding from?"
"Her," Dark said peeking over the elf's shoulder. "The one in the pink and blue-"
"With the fake-looking boobs?"
"Yeah, that's her…"
"Why are you hiding for her? Who is she?" Celtic asked, smiling at how silly Dark was acting.
"My worst nightmare come to life… My brainless stalker… My magical female counter-part," he had to stop and again almost gagged. "My old apprentice, the Dark Magician Girl."
"The Dark Magician Girl? Well, what is she? Your sister?"
"Do sisters stalk their brothers?… Ack, she would…. But no, thank the gods… no relation of mine." Dark moved around to Celtic's side to keep himself from the girl's sight.
"She can't be that bad… She does have 'dark magician' in her name."
"A name has nothing to do with who she is… Remember Mystical Elf, all flaunty and oblivious to everything? Well, multiply that my about a zillion." Dark moved again.
"You know, you are the greeter," Celtic said, wrapping his arms around his mage when he had circled to be in front of him.
"She scares me Celtic…." Dark actually whined as he dared to peek over Celtic's shoulder a second time.
"Fine, you big baby. I'll go greet her, and you can go greet those guys… Why didn't she stay with all the new monsters?" Celtic asked, noticing that the Dark Magician Girl was the only one not in a little group.
"Because she's an idiot!" Dark said as he quickly turned and ran over to the newest cards and got himself around them so he would not be seen by the female mage.
Celtic sighed and walked over to the blond, who was cheerfully walking around, in circles. "Hello," Celtic said and the short mage stopped to look at him.
"Hi," she said in a high pitched voice that started off shrill and faded to barely anything, and just with one word. Not only that, but she bounced once, causing her chest to jump as well, which was, scarily, the point.
"I'm Celtic, and this is the YMCA, mansion of the cards belonging to Masters Yugi and Yami."`
"Hi!" She said again, with the same voice.
Celtic regarded her for a moment. "And you are?"
"Darry!" She said as if she were excited about something. Another bounce.
"Riiiight," Celtic said as he took in the outfit. Blue and pink and showy. How did a Dark Magician of any sort end up in such pastel colors of clothes, not to mention the sluttiness of it all. 'What room do I put her in?' Celtic asked himself.
"Darry dear!" Came a voice from behind.
'Oh gods no! I thought I'd never have to hear or see that mage again,' Celtic thought as the put-put-putting of breath through the mages lips got closer.
"Grandpa!" Darry screamed, her voice almost breaking glass.
"Ah, and if it isn't the young whipper-snapper elf. My my boy, already got your eye on my pretty granddaughter here?" Dark Sage said as he pointed his staff, shaking quite a bit, at Darry.
"Don't be silly! I'm Dark's!" Darry said, bouncing twice.
Celtic twitched.
"Darry hunny, why don't you stay with me, dear? I have a very lovely room-"
'I thought we put him in a closet,' Celtic thought.
"Really Grandpa! That sound nice! Where's Dark?"
Celtic's ears twitched in pain as the high pitched sound ran through them.
"I don't know dear… let's go get you all settled in… you can look for your boyfriend later…" With that the two mages went off towards the mansion.
Celtic stood staring at were they had just been standing. "Dark is mine," he said to himself. "Me, Dark, gay, together…no Darry…. DARK!" He screamed in the general direction that Dark had gone. Thankfully Darry was already inside the mansion.
Dark came running, not even bothering to look for the blond girl.. When Celtic called, he came as fast as he could. "What's the matter?"
"What. Is. Her. Problem?!"
Dark grinned shyly. "Oh… you noticed hmmm?"
"Yes I noticed! She thinks she's yours, and that you're together and that you love her!" Celtic was on the brink of hyperventilating.
"But Celtic… she's insane," Dark said soothingly. "I am yours, we are together and I love you. That is not ever going to change."
"Never?"
"Never ever." Dark smiled and wrapped his arms around Celtic's neck. "You see… there is this one little thing that Darry doesn't understand. And that is that you, my elf, and I are soul mates… We will always be together."
"Daaaaark," Celtic said blushing furiously. Celtic snapped out of his little moment of being silly and looked over at the crowd that was looking back at him and Dark. "Dark, the other monsters… you didn't finish greeting them did you?"
Dark turned to look back at the rather large group. "Umm, no… you yelled, and I came running."
"That's sweet, but you have a job to do. Let's get back to them." Celtic said as he took Dark by the hand and made his way over to the congregation.
A number of eyes watched as they came closer, then moved to stare dumbly at the way Dark and Celtic held hands. A couple of them snarled while others just seemed displeased.
Dark looked to where the others where staring. He unclasped his hand from Celtic's, and as the elf looked at him a little confused, he wrapped his arm around his waist. He smiled at the warrior and continued walking. "I apologize for running off, but my boyfriend needed me."
Celtic blushed lightly and waved at the new monsters. "Hi," he said quietly, "I'm Celtic."
Three of the new monsters made a humming noise. "We are the, mmm, Magnet Brothers. I am Alpha, this is, mmm, Beta and Gamma."
Dark then looked to a red and black, demonic looking monster and what seemed to be a large, evil, lapdog. "This is Berfomet {~~Sassy- I listen with Hicky to his name about 13 times… he's Berfomet in this, okay?~~} and Gazelle-"
Gazelle roared loudly and was stroked by the monster that was best described as the devil on crack. The horned demon reached out one hand to shake Celtic's, another to shake Dark's, although he had done so before, continued petting his beast with a third and let the forth hang at his side.
Dark finished his introductions and he and Celtic led the monsters to their new rooms. Then the two of them moved the many new magic cards to where they were to be kept. Yugi and the pharaoh had collected many new cards.
"Dark?" Celtic asked after a long silence. "They didn't seem to like us that much… don't they like being in Yugi and Yami's deck?"
"That isn't why they don't like us…" Dark made room for the Time Seal spell.
"So, why then?" Celtic asked, truly not seeing what Dark had caught earlier.
"They didn't like how we were close, how we touched… how we were together…"
"How we are together Darky-poo," Celtic said as he put down the Light Force Sword and turned to face the mage. "That's a silly reason not to like someone."
"Yes it is. But that seems to be what was going through their minds. I suppose there weren't a lot of gay monsters in their 'neck of the woods' so it doesn't seem right to them." Dark's back was to Celtic as he placed more spells and traps.
"But, it is right… so right," Celtic said quietly as he came up and placed his strong hands on Dark's slender waist. "Don't they know about following your heart?"
"Oh Celtic," Dark sighed as he leaned against the warriors grip. "I suppose they are. But our hearts are not as their hearts are. We sought out each other-"
"After what seemed like ages," Celtic mumbled into Dark's hair.
"Quiet you… we wanted each other, or at least wanted men… but them- not only are they straight and seek the company of women, but I assume some may have been taken away from lives they were in the middle of living-"
"But I thought we forgot old lives?" Celtic asked, genuinely curious.
"That is only what I've been told, but there may be some loop holes. Seeing as how they are new cards I would think they came from a shop, like your friends Cee and Gee, and may still retain memories."
"Well, that would down right suck," Celtic said looking around. "We done?"
Dark also surveyed the room. Everything seemed to be in a neat and tidy order. "Appears so…Oh gods!" Dark breathed in sharply at a sound in the hall. He threw himself against the door and out of Celtic's hands.
Celtic watched as Dark bolted the heavy door and leaned against it. His ears tingled slightly as he listened for what Dark had heard.
"He's a mage," came a high pitched voice. "He has purple hair and blue eyes."
"I've told you six times already! I know you're talking about Dark Magician!" Came the angry voice of Chaos.
"Where's Dark?" the whiney voice of Darry floated clearly through the door.
Dark brought his finger to his lips to indicate no sound was to be made.
"I also told you six times, I do not know where he is…" Chaos sighed heavily.
"But you have to know!" Darry said as if by saying it, Chaos would suddenly give her an answer she liked.
"But I don't!" Chaos said spinning around to face her. He looked down into two big, shiny, green eyes. "Leave me alone and go look for him yourself."
"You were made from Dark," Darry said changing the subject abruptly.
Chaos blinked, not registering the words right away. "That's true… why?"
"If you were made from Dark," the high pitched, airy voice explained, "you must have some of Dark's deep, undying love for me in you."
Chaos thought about the words for a few moments. There were no feelings for this girl, but it could explain why he went after Celtic so long ago. He decided to endure the headache and wait to see if she spouted any other information worth contemplating.
"But! I can't return your love. I can only love my Dark. He needs me," Darry almost sang as her eyes lit up.
Chaos coughed to stop himself from bursting out into hysterical laughter. He cleared his throat and spoke. "Oh, my sweet lady… it hurts me deeply but I understand your heart lies with another… I will heal… somehow…" Chaos brought the back of his hand to his forehead and sighed. What his speech had meant was; Oh, you deranged lunatic… my head hurts thinking about how lonely your skull must be with no brain for company… now get lost so I can be rid of my headache.
Darry took his free hand and patted it gently. "It's okay… it'll pass." She smiled and then turned quickly to walk off in the direction she had come from, to continue looking for Dark.
Dark twitched and leapt behind Celtic as he felt the door unlocking itself. He peaked over the elf's shoulder as the door opened.
Chaos glared at the mage, or at what could be seen of him. "That thing is a menace to the sanity of this realm!" With that he slammed the door and stormed off.
"He knew I was in here?" Dark questioned. He thought for a moment. "Of coarse he did… he can sense my energy… but why did he say he didn't know?"
"Guess he was trying to help you, Dark… protecting you from her," Celtic said as he reached behind himself and brought Dark around to his front. "He's not a bad guy."
"Yeah right," Dark said quietly. He was sure that Chaos must have had some motive to help him. It couldn't have just been a random act of kindness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*deet*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luster and Gaia darted into the ritual room and after a quick scan, closed the door behind them. Luster turned around quickly and pushed Gaia against the door. "Seems like he's finally decided to vacate the room." Luster placed kisses on Gaia's face and neck as he spoke.
The warrior moaned as his hands moved, roughly, down the ritual's back, slipping under his shirt and moving back up the smooth green skin. "Finally… my bed isn't big enough for a good fuck."
"My, aren't you crude," Luster said as his lips move down Gaia's neck. He brought his hand up to pull down Gaia's baggy, hooded sweatshirt as his trail of kisses moved to the grey skinned man's collarbone.
Gaia open one of his eyes and looked at the desk near the door he was pressed up against. I reached over with his hand, trying not to disturb Luster from what he was doing.
The ritual monster was much to preoccupied to notice Gaia's subtle movements. Only when his grip on his boyfriend's sweatshirt fell slack did he look at what had happened. His eyes looked down a cut that ran from the bottom of the sweatshirt to the collar. A thick line of dark grey could be seen through the green material. Luster shifted his eyes to Gaia's hand that held the pair of scissors as he opened and closed them, for show.
Gaia grinned, threw his arms to the side slightly and his sweatshirt slid down them to find a place on the floor; the scissors joining them shortly. Gaia slipped his hands under the trench coat-like leather jacket that Luster wore. There was only one button, right between his pecs and his navel. Gaia used his mouth to undo the button and used his hands to push the jacket off of the ritual monster's shoulders and onto the floor.
Luster reached his hands high over his head and brought them down behind him to untie his long, fire-y hair from the tight ponytail it was in. He pressed his chest against Gaia's and wrapped his arms around the shorter warrior's waist. He took a step back and smiled as Gaia took it with him. The two of them made their way over to Luster's bed before falling down onto it.
The grey skinned warrior gasped as his arousal pressed hard against Luster's. He rolled off to the side and crawled further onto the mattress, beckoning for Luster to crawl right over top of him.
The ritual monster smirked and turned to move towards Gaia. He grabbed hold of the bottoms of Gaia's overly baggy pants and with one hard pull they were off, although his shoes were still on. Luster chucked and removed those too.
As Luster was taking off his shoes, Gaia slid his boxers down his legs and to his ankles, where Luster took hold of them and soon had them on the floor. Gaia brought his knee up so his lower leg brushed against the front of Luster's pants.
Luster gave a little thrust against the warrior's leg before bringing his hands down to undo his leather pants. As he removed them he looked over Gaia's body. This was the first time he had seen him completely naked. Sure they had messed around to a point, but that point had been crossed.
When Luster was finished discarding his clothes, Gaia grabbed hold of his hand and pulled him hard. He smiled as the ritual monster barely stopped himself from colliding, face first. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to Luster's as his hands moved to the green skinned monster's back to push his body down onto his own.
The pair stopped kissing abruptly as the door opened and Chaos stood in the frame, mouth slightly agape. "I'm sorry!" He said before spinning around and shutting the door.
Luster shook his head a little and was about to go back to kissing his boyfriend when the door opened and closed once again. Luster looked up again, this time a little angry.
"What I meant was… I'm sorry I didn't come in sooner," Chaos said, one hand on his hip and a saucy grin on his lips.
