~Chapter 04
~Death Threats ~
Kaiba couldn't stop gapping at the person standing in front of him. He couldn't believe it … he didn't want to believe what he was seeing at the very moment. His right side of mind searched for an explanation for all of this mess and his left side prayed that all this was just some bad dream and that his alarm clock would ring at any moment or that he would blink right now and instead of Pegasus there would be Miho standing there wearing that pink sundress and an enormous hat, hell, Miho was very welcome at the very moment … maybe he might've even given anything to the girl if she would've showed up at the very moment. But god, those were nothing but hopeless fantasies …
"No way" Mai took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes. She knew that this would be bad, but she never thought that it would be this bad! She, Mai, knew beforehand that Miho might not show up because Miho's grandma was sick and the girl probably went to tend to the old woman, so Mai thought that they will get some other girl but the idea of the odd contestant being a guy never crossed her mind! Hell, she wasn't even sure that he was a male in the first place because as long as she lived, she never thought that she would actually encounter a cross-dresser. Hell, she thought that she would die and not see one! Only on TV, newspaper or some random magazine … but never, ever in life …
"Holy crickets!" was all that Tea could say. This was too much for her mind to take at a moment! There, in front of her, stood Pegasus, a guy who tried to kill them all at one point of time and then help at the other now wore a dress and a pink one at that, for god's sake! Who, in their right mind, would wear something while being/trying to be a male? Then again, Isis did tell them that he was gay but Tea never really thought of Pegasus as one. Sure he was childish at times and he had that weird obsession with pink bunnies, but Tea could only relate it to something that might have happened to him in the past. Now, however, as she stared at a full grown man standing in front of her, wearing girl's cloth, she really questioned his sanity.
"My old friend!" Isis exclaimed, a smile on her face. She looked him up and down and a small frown appeared on her face as she seemed to pause for a moment or two to think something over. When she looked over to Serenity, she realized that the girl was the only one who didn't seem as shocked as the others. It was just that she stared at him with this blank expression …
"So this is the 'infamous' Pegasus" Serenity began with a thoughtful face as she too looked him up and down. "I've heard a lot about you from my brother Sir, but in none of his stories has he mentioned the fact that you preferred to dress in, urgh, woman accessories." Serenity said carefully as she threw a quick glance in Isis's direction. This was just too weird. Joey told her a lot about this Pegasus person and basically, he was the one she should've been thanking for her sight because Pegasus was the one who threw the contest in the first place, putting up the bait that the rest caught. However, Joey never mentioned the fact that this Pegasus person wasn't fully, mentally stable even though he did mention the fact that Pegasus had a small problem of letting the past go, or his wife in this case. What was confusing to her was the argument of him having a wife in the first place …
"I see familiar faces everywhere and yet I've never seen you!" Pegasus told Serenity, a slightly goofy smile on his face. While Serenity tried to come up with a way to reply, Isis, spoke for the rest of them.
"Pegasus-chan, why are you wearing a dress?" Isis asked, blinking a couple of times.
"Because he is a cross-dresser" Kaiba cut it, shaking his head. "What the hell are you doing here Pegasus?" Kaiba asked in a demanding voice, already realizing that no, this was anything but a dream. He wished it was one though.
"Isn't it obvious, Seto?" Pegasus asked innocently while Kaiba visibly cringed. Then, Pegasus crossed his arms over his chest and pouted childishly. "And I am not a cross-dresser!"
"Oh really?" Mai asked, trying not to gag at Pegasus's choice of cloth. Even if he was a cross-dresser, the least he could do is be with the brand of style! With his money, that was like a snap of fingers! God, not many cared about their choice of cloths now, but to Mai, clothes were everything and when one wore something so carelessly, she wanted to just come up to that person and scream in their face … but since this was Pegasus, she decided not to. Instead, she said what she thought was less offending. "Then please explain why you are wearing a female's dress? Isn't that the same as cross-dressing?" However, before Pegasus could reply, Isis cut in.
"Your image-makers are making fun of your love interests again?" she asked in a concerned voice and then sighed. Pegasus, no matter how rich he was, still had to keep his image going and when his 'agents' discovered the fact that he liked men, they thought that it was opportunity to blow a huge scandal around him, making Pegasus not only gay but also a cross-dresser. She pitied the man, she really did. He was actually very good at heart but the Millennium Items really did screw him up big time.
"Ah, half of what you've said is true and half is not Ishizu-chan!" Pegasus said happily, rocking slightly from side to side. Everybody just stared at him, then at Isis, then back to him, the same something written on their faces but he just couldn't place what the feeling was. He really did miss the millennium eye that Bakura oh-so mercilessly ripped out on the day he lost to Yami … but man, if installing the millennium eye hurt, dislocating it hurt even more!!
"Chan?" Kaiba said in a cold, bitter tone that made the blood of people around him freeze.
"Ah, but what else do you use when you are on friendly terms with someone, Kaiba-kun?" Pegasus asked in what he thought was the sweetest voice in the entire world. Unknowingly, that voice made Kaiba's blood freeze, his hands adding a slightly bluish tint to them.
"…"
"Um," Tea began, unsure, but then stopped. The silence that hung in the air ate away her nerves or what was left of them after the trials with Yami in Egypt … god, those couple of days in his brain made her life shorter by 50 years at most, maybe least …
"Kaiba-kun!" Pegasus exclaimed and moved closer to where Kaiba stood. To Kaiba, it took all will power not to turn around and run for his life. Sure he wanted to commit a suicide, but this was not what he had in mind. However, the way Pegasus kept on moving towards him really made him rethink his decision, screw his ego and run like a bat out of hell. Heck, like a bat from Pegasus would be more precise.
"Don't use 'kun' on me or you'll loose your jewels." Kaiba said coldly. Hell, he wasn't his lover! What the hell gave Pegasus the permission to call him kun??? At the moment, Kaiba seriously wanted to rip Pegasus's throat off with that stupid silvery head of his …
"Please stop being so cruel, Kaiba-boy!" Pegasus said but stopped his advances towards Kaiba. "How about a simple kiss on the cheek?" Pegasus asked innocently and this time, Kaiba did take a step back.
"Over my dead body" Kaiba said in a very arrogant tone but inside, he was very embarrassed. Yes, the cold-hearted and cold-blooded, all feared and despised 15 year old CEO of the Kaiba Corp. was embarrassed!!!! Hell broke loose and then froze over where Kaiba's ego used to reside. Even the shadow realm shook and trembled as Kaiba's nerves became super-tight. Obviously, Pegasus noticed the 'sudden' change in Kaiba and the weather around them and decided that he was better off giving a friendly hug to Isis instead of trying to befriend a tall, blue-eyed brunet surrounded with a very dark aura about him.
"Um, can you change into something that is more … male-like?" Tea addressed her question to Pegasus, trying to sound as un-suggestive as possible. Heck, Pegasus looked like a girl when he put those sunglasses on! It was disturbing, it really was.
"Why, my dear Tea?" Pegasus asked and Tea flinched involuntarily. "Are you possibly interested in me?" he asked, battering his eye-lashed. All that Tea wanted to do at the moment was to simply walk up to him and slap him, hard. However, Kaiba prevented any possible beating by his glare and a snappy command.
"Cut this crap." Kaiba said in a blood-freezing tone and the girls already knew who would be eliminated in the first round … unless Kaiba was gay.
"Or you will do what?" Pegasus said but stopped his stupid 'I-am-a-girl' act.
"Call police and report sexual molestation" was Kaiba's simple but meaningful reply. Pegasus actually looked like he was doing some serious thinking but in the end, he shook his head and the rest sighed in relief. No more 'bouncy-wouncy' Pegasus hanging around … hopefully.
"Let's go then" Kaiba told them, waving his hand towards the black limo that just pulled up. He passed the drover who held the door open for him without even noticing the driver himself, ignoring everything around him and getting into the limo. The rest had nothing else better to do than to follow.
"So, um, Kaiba, where exactly are we going?" Mai asked as the limo drove on the highway. Mai, being a very talkative person hated silence because when she was a kid, it was all that she had.
"Amusement Park" Kaiba growled, his eyes steeled and starring off into nothingness. This brought old memories, of him being a kid and wanting to build his very own amusement park … shaking his head, Kaiba choose to instead glare at Mai who blinked and then burst with laughter.
"What???" Isis asked, shocked. No way! She hated amusement parks! She went there once and well, she definitely did not like those roller-coasters! Gah, she hated them! Ra save them all…
"Why?" Tea asked, shocked. Serenity just kept on staring at Kaiba with an unreadable expression.
"Look, it wasn't I who decided upon that, ok?" Kaiba raised his hands in defense. If it was his way then he wouldn't be here in the first place but right now, everything was going Mokuba's way, probably … maybe except of Pegasus …
~~
Mokuba was seating on an airplane, Yugi was sleeping and Mokuba decided to check his email. After opening his laptop and logging in, he found a surprise waiting for him in his mail box.
Dear Brother,
I understand that you did this with your best intentions but know this, when I will be done with this hell house, you will pay …and I mean it. Be ready for some punishment when you get home and I' be able to get my hands on you my dear brother.
With all best,
Seto.
"I am so dead" Mokuba whispered to no-one in particular. Now his vocation with Yugi would be ruined and he felt bad not only because he ruined his own fun but Yugi's also because the guy left his yami at home and would actually be getting rest. Then again, Seto's week off was ruined as well ….
"God, please do not let him find out!" Mokuba said a silent prayer under his breath and looked at the letter one more time.
"Please" he repeated as he shut his laptop and tried to relax. However, the only thing that went through his head was him being hung up by his toes to his brother's ceiling …
