The 13th Gate
Ch.5
The rain had continued to pour down on top of the already soaked Domino for the second day, not allowing anyone's mood to lighten, "Man....this sucks, there is absolutely nothing we can do...." Jou sat back on the large green sofa in the living room area of the game shop, he leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling, meanwhile Yugi and Honda sat in front of the TV, playing Mortal Combat, both yelling stupid insults at each other every time they got hit. Anzu sat at the end of the sofa cheering on Yugi, all of them to wrapped up in what they where doing to hear Jou, he gave a heavy sigh and closed his eyes, it was a Saturday afternoon, and here they where, sitting around doing nothing. "Great, what a day....damn rain..." the familiar jingle of the doorbell rang throughout the store, someone was saying something to Yugi's grandfather in the front of the store, several minutes later, a smiling white haired boy came around the corner, "Hey everyone, how are you all?" They all looked over at Ryou, "Hey Ryou, what's up? Did you walk all the way over here through the rain?" Yugi got up and went over to his brown eyed friend and took his coat, "I'll go get you a towel" he gave him a slight smile and went down the dark hallway, meanwhile Anzu, Honda and Jou greeted him, it had been quite awhile since they had seen their friend, it was a nice surprise, Yugi came back a few minutes later with a large green fluffy towel which he handed to Ryou. He ran it through his hair, while Honda, Yugi, and Jou sat down to watch TV, Jou casually flipping through the channels, while Anzu tried to strike up a conversation with her white haired friend, he really took no notice to her though, considering he wasn't even Ryou anymore, the Yami had taken his hold over the body once again, concealing himself as the fun loving, shy boy. He stared at Yugi, had the Pharaoh felt what he had, the evil presence that suddenly filled the air not even twenty-four hours ago. It was heavy, and it hid itself well in a fog of mystery, he couldn't place his finger on it, was it another Sennen Item revealing itself? It couldn't be Malik, he didn't have the Rod anymore, even if some power did radiate from him, it was hardly enough to blanket the world with such anger, hatred and frustration. He sighed and looked back over to Anzu, deciding to let his Hikari listen to her ramblings, he blinked several times, when did he get here? He sighed again, causing Anzu to stop, "I'm sorry, you must be tired, running through the rain...what where you thinking? It's pouring out there Ryou!" He stared at her for a moment, then chuckled, "I'm just crazy like that Anzu." He gave her a warm smile before turning his attention to the TV as well, Jou had stopped flipping through the channels, on it a news reporter, behind him was a small thumbnail picture of Kiaba Paradise, "The newly opened Kiaba Paradise, the only theme park where people can get in free, is hosting its very first tournament this December, no set date has been released as of yet, however, some participants whose names we have been able to gather have been, Motou Yugi, Katsuya Jyoonouchi, Kujak Mai, and Malik Ishtar and of course the tournaments own creator, Kiaba Seto." The man read the names from the list quickly, "Now, from what we understand, the battles will be held here in sunny California," he waved his hand behind him, indicating a large city with rolling hills and bright blue skys, "Right here in the great city of San Francisco, now, back to you Peter and Julie!" The reporter gave a cheesy smile before the two other anchors took back over reporting less important news, Jou looked over at Yugi and smiled, "Finally, I never thought we where gonna get outta here!" He jumped up, "Did you hear that, they also said my name on the news! Haha! We're goin to America!"
