Marikue: *sigh* well, anyways, she doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh or ElimiDate ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^)
~Chapter 5
~Fear That Rollercoaster~
Kaiba glared at everyone and everything once they've entered the amusement park. He wanted to kill or to be killed right about now. First of all, he was surrounded by four women and one woman/man and the kids around there were giving him weird looks. Secondly, he did not take enough Tylenol in the morning in his rush to be punctual and get on the spot on time and now he was dearly paying for it with a huge headache. God only knows what he would do to the one who would try to point a finger at him! Probably bite that finger off … that sounded like a pretty good idea.
"I've always wanted to go to an Amusement Park!" Serenity squealed happily as she looked around. "But I never got the chance because, well, I couldn't exactly see so my mother didn't see a point of me going …" at this she trailed off as she continued observing everything around her.
"Please spare me with your stories. I don't want to hear them" Kaiba said and rolled his eyes in annoyance. He could always go to an Amusement Park … well, now he always could! He even built a Game World … which was different but still! So what if he missed out on it while he was a kid?
"Everybody has a right to speak their thoughts out, Seto, and if you do not want to hear them, maybe the others wish the opposite?" Pegasus said as he waved to a kid standing nearby. Everybody just stared at him as if he had grown another head. "What?" Pegasus asked as he noticed their petrified looks.
"Nothing" they all mumbled at the same time. Pegasus just gave them a weird look, letting them know that he thought that they lost their minds while they mirrored it, silently sending him the same message. Maybe it was a freak gather-up after all…
"You were never this thoughtful when you tired to banish us all to the shadow realm or when you read our minds … well, when we started having problems with Kaiba's duel disks you were a bit different but that was when you didn't have an eye anymore.." Tea said, scratching the back of her neck. This Pegasus was a confusing guy, he really was. One day you think that he wants to resurrect his wife, the other you think that he is after your life, then on the other he helps you out and then he dresses like Miho and declares that he is gay … wasn't something amiss in all of this?
"Oh, but I was still young!" Pegasus said but regretted it as he received more weird looks. "And stop looking at me like that!" he added and put his sunglasses on. With those sunglasses, he looked like a positive girl, which was unnerving to most members of the 'group'.
"Pegasus-chan, I don't think…" Isis began but trailed off, looking at her friend disapprovingly. She said that when Pegasus made a move to try and kiss Kaiba again. However, Kaiba was too quick for him and jumped out of the way. Now way in hell would he ever kiss a man!
"Fu-" it was then that it clicked. Kaiba understood the reason of Pegasus being here, the reason for his 'cross-dressing', the reason for 'kisses', the reason Mokuba began this in the first place … now it all made sense.
"You can cut yourself the humiliation and go and change because you are not getting that picture" Kaiba said coldly and Pegasus's face fell.
"I know not of what you speak" Pegasus tried his innocent act, hoping that Kaiba would think that he got it wrong. However, Pegasus's hopes shattered when Kaiba looked at him steely.
"Once again, you are not getting that picture" simple. A simple sentence uttered by Kaiba made Pegasus's tries come to nothing.
"Fine!" he said, his behavior changing drastically. The rest stared at him, clueless as the said man stormed into a 'man's' washroom, earning looks from those who were passing by. They didn't know that he was a man when he had his sunglasses on. Everyone was quiet until Serenity asked the question that almost every other one of their group wanted answered.
"What was that all about?" Serenity said as she tilted her head to the side, trying to make a connection with Pegasus and pictures … those were the only clues that she could gather so far. However, instead of answering, Kaiba gave her a glare that made the other people in the park walk around them so that they didn't have any spectators in a radius of 100 meters, all thanks to Kaiba.
"We want to know too, Kaiba! What is going on?" Tea asked in a demanding tone, tapping her foot impatiently against the floor. What the hell was going on? What the hell were they all talking about?
"Just leave him alone, it is something to do with personal business" Isis said, her eyebrow twitching slightly. Why the hell did Pegasus want … ah, men were so stupid!
"Is there something that we should know? How come you know and we don't?" Mai said and crossed her arms over her chest. Were they supposed to just let it go? No way in hell! She would find out eventually … give Kaiba alcohol and then take advantage of him when he was drunk and find out everything … the only problem was that she had never seen Kaiba drink anything remotely close to alcoholic …
"Because you are a no-one" Kaiba said coldly, his eyes shrinking to an unbelievable size and the rest decided not to probe further. He was mad as it was, not point of getting your head bit off.
"Where did Pegasus go to?" Tea asked, trying to prevent Mai from snapping back at Kaiba. When the others gave her a pointed look, she quickly added, "I mean, what is taking him so long?" yes, this was a better question.
"Why don't you find out for yourself?" Kaiba said and waved his hand in the direction of men's washroom, the one that Pegasus entered ten or so minutes ago. Tea swallowed and looked away, a small blush working its way onto her face. It wasn't everyday that somebody would suggest you to enter man's washrooms … gah!
"You are the male around here!" Mai huffed, giving Kaiba a very annoyed look. He was such a bastard!
"So?" Kaiba replied in monotone.
"SO?" Mai said as she waved her hand in front of his face. "Go there!"
"You are being a sexist" was Kaiba's very cold reply. Never had he allowed one to order him around and he was not starting now! (Except his adopted father which was a different story and beside, he was dead now. No point of worrying about his corpse that kept turning in its own grave)
"Kaiba!!!" Mai screamed and kicked, but Isis and Serenity were holding her tightly, preventing her from attacking Kaiba and doing him some possible damage like a broken nose or a bruised jaw … ah, the possibilities were endless.
"I speak truth and only truth" Kaiba said with a small smile on his face. The rest froze, looking at him quizzically.
"Se- I mean, Kaiba?" Serenity asked carefully, not sure what caused the other to smile.
"It's ironic, isn't it?" Kaiba said in amused tone, looking up into the sky.
"What is?" Isis asked carefully. The mood swings that Kaiba was going through …. She did not like them. One minute he is pissed, the other he is mad and then he is acting philosophical … what the hell was going on in his head?
"Nothing, nothing at all" he said and shook his head, a frown renewing on his face. "Where is that fool?" he asked, tired of waiting for their 'male' contestant. Where was that git? And what interested Kaiba the most was how the ElimiDate crew would edit the entire show … so far, to him it looked like a total mess. They'll probably have to work past curfews to finish it.
"That's how we started this conversation" Mai remarked dryly. Kaiba just smirked.
"Well, if that block doesn't come out in two minutes, we are going on without him" he said, the angst and coldness that used to be present in his voice vanishing into nothingness. This went unnoticed by all except Serenity and Isis. If Pegasus still had his millennium eye, he would probably be chuckling at the moment because the same train of thoughts ran through both of the two girl's heads. 'Kaiba needs some serious, professional help'
"O-ok" Tea said and shuddered. She felt like something bad was about to happen. They stood there in silence lost in their own thoughts when after a minute or so Pegasus finally emerged from the washrooms and everyone sighed in relief for two reasons. A) he did not die in there (and they didn't have to drag him out) , B) he was wearing 'normal' clothes. 'Normal' meant 'male'.
"Why are you all staring at me?" Pegasus asked and raised his hand, brushing his hair behind his ear. The rest blinked and looked away.
"Come on" Kaiba said, turning around and walking further into the park, ending any conversation that could possibly occur and ending it well. As he walked, he noted that the rest followed him even though later on, some of them would wish that they hadn't.
~~~
"No way Kaiba!!!" Serenity practically screamed into his ear. They followed him for ten minutes only to realize that he brought them to the largest world's rollercoaster! This wasn't fair! She never rode a rollercoaster and she was not starting now.
"Look, it wasn't my idea! We have to" Kaiba said and folded his arms across his chest, wondering how much longer his eardrums would hold. Gah, the way this was going, he would be deaf pretty soon.
"No, no, no, no, no!!!!" Serenity kept on chanting as he literally dragged her off to the boarding platform. The rest followed, not saying anything but hoping that they would survive this. Actually, Mai was pretty excited about it because she loooved amusement parks! God, this was probably turning to be one of the best days in her life … well, maybe not, but still…
"Come on" Kaiba hissed through clenched teeth. It has never been his idea of fun to drag a screaming and kicking sister of his most hated person around the park. Heck, if given chance, he would've been screaming and kicking himself but since he couldn't show any weakness, he had to swallow it all. Pride was a 'female dog' …
"Please noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" Serenity was being pushed onto her seat by Kaiba and Mai both! Well, she knew that Kaiba did that so that he could torture her, but Mai????? Well, unbeknown to Serenity, Mai couldn't wait for a ride and once they got Serenity securely in her seat (she was cursing now, making other people edge away from them). Tea and Isis decided to take the second cart since Serenity was in the first one and Pegasus choose the end while Mai, well, Mai didn't want to be deaf by the end of the ride and instead of sitting with Serenity, she pushed Kaiba into the seat instead. His expression was priceless and Mai was happy to say that she accomplished her goal; revenge on Kaiba (making his deaf) but what Mai didn't know was the color drained from Kaiba's face because of his fear … god, no, he did not want to sit in the first cart! He didn't want to sit there at all!!!
"Why you?!" Kaiba hissed but couldn't get out. Mai happily skipped and took the third cart while Kaiba joined Serenity in cursing the hell out of everybody.
"Serves you right!" Mai screamed happily from behind as they began moving.
"Release me!" Kaiba demanded as the guy who was checking if they were secure in their seats came to them. He just shrugged and ignored Kaiba.
"Please sir! My eyeballs will fall out!" Serenity wailed, wriggling in her seat. The guy gave her a weird look and backed off as they continued moving.
"Shut up!" Kaiba hissed. His entire body was stiff and he, for some reason, couldn't feel his fingers.
"But I am serious! I will become blind again!" Serenity said with a huff. They were slooowly moving to the top …
"Shut up!" Kaiba didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. He was panicking! The rollercoaster was slowly moving upwards and Kaiba thought that he was going to have a heart attack. The expectance of fear was worse than the fear itself.
"Bu-" it was then that Serenity took note of Kaiba's condition. His face was pale and his knuckles were white while his blue eyes were glassy … he was breathing very slowly and at that very moment he looked like a maniac.
"…" Kaiba wanted to kill something and if the looks could kill, a million people would've been dead by now, if not more.
"aaa…" Serenity let out a tiny whimper and shut her eyes tight. She did not sign up for this! She felt them come to a halt and then ….
An entire park heard the scream that she emitted as the ride began.
(Lilo: hmm, I don't like character bashing and when I really thought about it, it looked like I was 'bashing' Pegasus in the previous chapter … I think that in this chapter I explained the whole reason for him acting all girly … beside, of you really go back the previous chapter, you will notice that it all makes sense now… right? I dunno but I think that this chapter turned out to be kinda crappy … I dunno, I was struggling with it for some reason … that is very bad … *goes into thinking mode*
Marikue: gah, she is just acting all weird and stuff. She is just kinda touchy about character bashing … weird … *sigh* Anyways, plz R&R!!)
