Hey! Once again thanks for the awesome comments and feedback! I really enjoy reading them. Don't you all get that warm fuzzy feeling inside once you read a great review? ^__^ Well I'm kind of crazy, so don't mind me! Now, on to chapter 8 of "It's All Business".

As we last left our great heroes, their seating partners were pissing them all off…
Yami's POV
(O__O) I…cannot…take…the…noise!!!! Click! Click! Click! That's all I hear! Agh! If Kaiba doesn't stop that, I will not be responsible for my actions.
Ooh look. There's my aibou and Ryou sitting there and looking so smug. Grrr. That's not fair! Why can't I sit next to Yugi? It's better than sitting next to the stressed out idiot and the assassin who looks like he really wants to kill right now. Heck, sitting next to Bakura might be better. (O__O) What am I thinking? I need some mental help. As soon as we get back home I'm seeing one of those psychiatrist-thingies. I do feel sorry for Tea though, sitting next to that retard.
Tea's POV
OMG! Brad so cannot do that! Ugh. Despicable man. Almost like the person sitting right next to me now. Except Bakura's not a man. He's more like a spirit…um…who used to be a man…uh…yeah. Ugh. I still can't believe I had to sit next to him. I wish I could sit next to Yugi, or Ryou. Ryou would be best. He's really nice and funny! And he's pretty cute! Wow…did I just think that? I need to get out more.
Oh look! Bakura's discovered the fold-out food tray. Oh boy; this trip is losing its glamour real fast. (-__-)
Bakura's POV
What the hell is this? A tray?! Hmph. Whatever. Look at my aibou sitting there all entertained with his damn book. Well, when we get off this plane I'm going to kill the first thing that moves. Preferably the pharaoh. I never even wanted to come, and this is how I'm rewarded? By being near the pharaoh, and sitting next to the friendship girl? Argh! And the way she gets all emotional about those stupid books! It's driving me insane! What's even more crazy is that I want to know what's going on between this Brad-idiot and his loser girlfriends! (O__O) Must…think…about…killing…the pharaoh! (^__^) Ah, that's better.
Yugi's POV
Well, I'm having a great time! This trip was a really great idea! Yami doesn't look too happy though. Neither does Tea. I feel really sorry for her. She doesn't deserve to sit next to Bakura! She looks like she's about to cry! Or that could just be from that romance novel she's reading. (-__-;)
Ryou's POV
I'm getting nervous. My yami hasn't even started a small uproar. That's never good. He's either asleep, or he's plotting some diabolical evil plan. I'm afraid to look, but I have to check if Tea's in danger. You never know when he's around.
Normal POV
Ryou peered around to the other side of the plane hoping to catch a glimpse of his yami…preferably asleep. What he saw next made his blood run cold. As his eyes fell on the snowy white hair, he looked down to Bakura's face and saw that Bakura was looking right back at him with his stone cold eyes.
With a sardonic sneer, Bakura took his right hand and made the cut-throat sign, still looking directly at Ryou. Ryou froze and slowly turned back towards the front of the plane, Yugi looking at him concernedly.
Yugi: Everything okay Ryou?
Ryou: Uh…yeah, Yugi, everything's great!
Yugi smiled and went back to his puzzle, while Ryou tried to shake out the disturbing scene from his mind.
Pretty soon an announcer's voice came on to tell them that drinks were to be handed out shortly along with headphones for the movies. There was a portable screen on each head-set of the seats.
There were special snacks and drinks for the first-class passengers, so two flight attendants began taking orders for refreshments.
Flight attendant: (Speaking to Ryou and Yugi) Hello, and thank you for flying with us today. Would you like something to eat and drink?
Yugi: Uh…could I have orange soda please?
Ryou: And I'll have some diet Coke, please.
Flight attendant: Of course. Anything to eat? (She asked while pouring their drinks in tall glasses) We have peanuts, chips, cocktail, pretzels, sundaes, and other things.
Yugi ordered some pretzels while Ryou got a bag of chips. Meanwhile, the next group wasn't so cooperative with the servers.
Flight attendant 2: I'm sorry sir, but we don't give out…um…Nile river water.
Yami: (O__O) But that's all I had when I was Pha—
Malik: (Interrupting) Whatever, you washed-out has been. Got any beer?
Flight attendant 2: (-__-) Um…aren't you a little young?
Malik: So? This is a fricken airplane, thousands of miles in the air. No one's going to report me…are they? (He asked, shooting the flight attendant a look of instant death if he told.)
Flight attendant 2: (O__O;) Uh…
Seto: (Cutting in) Shut up the both of you. I can't believe I had to sit next
to you two geeks. (Addressing the flight attendant) Get me coffee. Black. The
strongest coffee you have.
Flight attendant 2: (-__-) Right… (Thinking: 'I need to get a new job.')
Joey: And I'll have pretzels, and peanuts, and ice cream and chips, and more pretzels, and chips, and seven-up, and coke, and peanuts, and chips, and uh…did I say ice cream?
Flight attendant, Tristan, and Duke: (-__-)
Tristan: Dude. That's plenty. Why don't you just stick with a coke and a bag of chips man.
Duke: Yeah, Joey. There's no need to be a pig up in the air when you're supposed to be a dog.
Joey: Grrr. Stop with the stupid dog jokes dice boy.
Tea: I'll just take a cup of iced tea, please.
As Tea received her drink, Bakura, who had "politely" (yeah right) declined anything to eat or drink, stared at the girl thoughtfully, with a scowl present on his face.
Tea: (Noticing his stare) What?
Bakura: You're a very weird human. You know what? Very odd…
Tea: (-__-) That was soooo random.
Bakura: Whatever, foolish mortal.
Bakura turned his face away from Tea's and began to stare out of the window into the endless sea of blue and white.
Tea: 'What a psycho!' (Returning to her reading)
Suddenly the screens in front of them flickered on and began some previews.
Tea: Ooh! They're showing Finding Nemo! That movie is sooo cute!!!
Bakura: (O__o) Finding…who?
Tea: Nemo! You know? The fish?
Bakura: (Breathing sigh of relief) You scared the shit out of me, you stupid girl. For a moment I thought you were talking about this homeless weirdo in Egypt that I almost gutted when he wanted some money. I would've taken out his liver if the royal guards didn't come stalking me. Grr…
Tea: (*__*) (Very disturbed) I'll never look at Nemo the same way again…
Malik flicked through the show magazine absently.
Malik: Finding Nemo? (O__o) What the heck is that? Ooh…the Ring. (^___^)
Yami: (O__o) (Looking slightly disturbed at Malik's reactions.) Right.
Seto: I came all the way here and they don't even have a business related show. I'm going to sue this airline for everything it's worth.
Soon everyone was finally relaxing and calming down to watch movies. They had no idea that someone in the same compartment was not calm at all. In fact, they were seething in anger.
Someone's POV
Grrr. The way they can just sit back down and relax. Look at them. They make my blood boil, the spoiled brats. They always get things handed down to them on a silver platter. Never had to work in their life, unlike me. The days I've toiled and suffered, while they just had to watch. The look of horror on their faces when I finally get to work will be pleasant and refreshing. It will be their turn to suffer! Soon…soon I will have my revenge. But for now, I guess I just have to watch Finding Nemo. (-__-) Dumb fish.
Normal POV
Bakura: Pssst…
Tea: What? I'm trying to watch my movie!
Bakura: I need to go to the bathroom.
Tea: What? Can't you just wait?
Bakura: (O__O) No! I…need…to…go…NOW!
Tea: Fine! Fine!
She got up from her seat to allow Bakura to pass. He practically ran her over bolting towards the airplane's bathrooms.
Tea: (O__O) Wow…he really…needed to go.
Yami's POV
Uh…this movie makes no sense whatsoever. So what if a little fish got caught. There are tons more fish in the sea. Well, technically this is the ocean we're talking about, so…what am I doing? I'm getting confused over a stupid fish movie!
This whole thing is getting suspicious. Why won't Kaiba tell us where we're going? He didn't even explain everything in detail. It's time I got some information. I'm the pharaoh! I deserve to know all! (^__^)
Normal POV
Yami: (Prods Kaiba in the shoulder)
Seto: (Annoyed from Yami interrupting his work on his computer) What?! Can't you just sit still patiently for once in your life?!
Yami: Give me more information.
Seto: What?! More information on what?
Yami: (-__-) Where we're going, Kaiba. You never told us.
Seto: (Smirking) But that would take the fun out of it all. Surprise factors are good for taking the competition—I mean…associates off guard…
Yami: Yeah…smooth. Anyway. Fine, if you won't tell us the location, can you at least tell us what we're specifically supposed to be doing?
Seto: I'll explain EVERYTHING to EVERYONE once we get there. But for now, just be a good insane psycho and just wait.
Yami: Fine! If you won't tell me the specifics, tell me just one thing.
Seto: (Sigh) No, you cannot rule the city. That was your question, wasn't it?
Yami: (O__O) Not…quite. My question is…Kaiba, once we get there, can you assure me that none of my friends will be in any danger whatsoever?
Seto: (Taken aback) Well yes. I don't believe there'll be any danger associated with this trip. Why? (He asked suspiciously, looking over at Malik.) They won't cause trouble will they?
Yami: I just have a strange feeling that this trip isn't what it seems to be.
Seto: Yeah, well, you're paranoid, so let's just leave it at that. Now leave me to work.
Yami: Fine. (Going back to Finding Nemo.)
Seto: (Glancing slightly over at Yami) 'Hmm…he does have a point. I don't know why…but I get the same feeling. I wonder if anyone else feels the same. Maybe I should ask.'
Malik: (Watching his own movie, fascinated) ^__^ Die! Die! Hee hee…so long!
Seto: (O__O) 'Or maybe not…never ever. What was I thinking? I am NEVER taking these people with me on a business trip again. (-__-)'
All right all right! I'm sorry that I've spent so much time on the flight, I just needed to get that "special" person's POV in. Who do you guys think it is? ^__^ Take a guess, I dare you. Next time I promise, they'll land at their destination. But in the meantime, does anybody think they know where they're going? I know I gave little to no hints, but…maybe you'll get a little surprise next chapter. I feel so evil. Well, as always, I hope you've enjoyed the story so far, and any suggestions or anything is totally welcome. So, if you have any questions, comments, or cries of outrage, feel free to drop a word in. Thanks so much, and until next time! Live your life to the fullest!
