Yeesh. . . I keep updating later and later, don't I? Not to worry though,
I've just been inundated with homework, chores, and to top it all off,
writers block. And cake. Lots of cake. But I am finishing it as I type this
*snigger*, so you don't need to worry about it anymore. Probably. On with
the story!
Chapter 15: Daylight (AHH! MY EYES! BRIGHT ORB IN BLUE THING ABOVE MY HEAD HURT EYES! AHH!)
Shortly after Yugi's fit, he collapsed, unconscious. Joey picked him up, and slung the small figure over his shoulder in a fireman's carry.
"Alright, girls. How do we get out of here?" he asked, the usual joking tone of his voice gone now. If one looked close enough, you might be able to see a small tear collecting in the corner of his eyes.
"Here, guys, follow us." Answered Kagome, also sounding rather sad. She had known that the two boys were pretty close, and she knew that Joey must be feeling. She and Sango led the others up through the passageways and tunnels that had been the robed demon's stronghold, deftly tapping the right stones in the right order, thus turning off all of the various booby- traps that had been installed.
*Just what DID Yugi mean about something big coming? Could it actually make things any worse than they are now? This world already has Naraku, not to mention a lot more demons, so it really must have been powerful if the mere feeling of it's powers was enough to knock Yugi unconscious.* thought everyone.
"Anybody have any idea what Yugi meant by 'something big is coming'? I mean, we already have Naraku, and what could be more powerful than Naraku?" Shippo asked.
"Me, for one. But I doubt that's what Yugi was talking about. Probably just some god or something. No idea whether it'll be any nice or anything, though. It might be a good idea for everybody to take care of any pressing needs before than though." Inuyasha answered. A short pause, as though everyone was expecting something. They were sadly disappointed.
"Well, Wheeler? Aren't you going to say something stupid, like 'Nooo! I don't want to die a virgin!'"
"Shove it, Kaiba." Joey calmly answered, his concentration still glued to the floor. He did not say anything else as he kept watching.
"Oh, boy. This can't be good. I didn't know Joey could even show this much depth, let alone ignore Kaiba. Granted, Kaiba does not seem to be acting quite normal as well." Miroku whispered to Sango.
"Yeah, I know how you mean. Yugi had better wake up soon, I don't know how long Joey can handle this, he seems so upset." She replied They soon found an exit from the tunnels into the world above. Yugi had still not awoken, though the Senri Eye symbol on his forehead did flash momentarily in the light.

The Three waited. Their servant now knew what to do, and would soon complete his task. They ate more popcorn.
Whoo! What a rush! I just finished all of my cake, so that means: YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY, YOU OF THE BAKED-GOODS-DISADVANTAGED! HAHAHAHAHAHA! And let me tell you, it was a lot of cake.
P.S. A sign of the impending apocalypse: IO2 Technologies has developed a working prototype image projector that places an image in thin air. The resolution is pretty bad, and you only have a choice of monochrome off- white and a really weird shade of blue for projection purposes. My point is that, in several years (certainly within most of our lifetimes, barring tragic accidents, or you being really, really old or diseased), it would be all too easy to have something not unlike the duel disks and stadiums so beloved by lovers of the Yugioh anime. It might be a while before they look any good though, and no word on whether they'll be able to synthesize sounds or smells like Kaiba's duel disk system. Only down side so far, is that they cost over $22,000, so it will be a while before we can have elementary schoolers dueling in the streets and blocking traffic with Blue- Eyes-White-Dragons and Kuribos. Highschoolers on the other hand. . .
P.P.S. The Tech TV website is having a contest to design an "anime style RPG" using suggestions e-mailed to them based on several basic screenshots and concept art. Since my computer acts weird when I try to type the site address, just go to techtv.com and search for "anime RPG" using the site specific search engine. Entries for chapter one are due October 17, and you will need to check the guidelines out, so get cracking, my little otaku- monkies!
