Anyone who's heard Do As Infinity's song, 135...It's really hard to learn the lyrics, not because they're in Japanese, but because they go by so fast...! Just another random thought...anywho...

Now on with the fic!
Chapter 5: Otogi's Story"Well, Hello Dolly!"
Ryuji Otogi had already decided what he wanted to write about, even though he was still a little angry. Hah, this is gonna be a piece of cake! I'll show stupid Honda who the master writer is!! Ha ha!
He was kind of far away, but he was able to make out the faint sound of someone with a loud whisper: "Shaddap!!" Otogi realized it was just Jonouchi. Probably clowning again, he thought. He picked up his pen and began to write.
This is Otogi's story:
"Many of you may look at me and say, 'Oh, that's just ol' hot shot Ryuji Otogi.' (Or a girl might say, 'Oh, he is soo cute!') And so what? So, I like flirting with girls. Heck, I admit, the only reason I flirt with Jonouchi's sister Shizuka is to make Honda mad, which is really fun if you try it!
As much as I adore Shizuka, there's something in my dreams that comes back to haunt me numerous times. Actually, it's more like someone.
There's a girl who lives in my dreams! She's got long black hair and big, beautiful green eyes (much like my own). I like to call her 'Dolly'. Dolly is about my age. She's very pretty and she has a voice like an angel. (So does Shizuka...but that's not my point.)
Dolly has appeared in every single one of my dreams since about this time a year ago. I never said anything, 'cause I don't want people thinking I'm loony. Like Yugi Mutoh, always talking to himself...Eech! Creepy. Gives me the chills just THINKING about it! And he thinks I don't notice...
I remember the very first time Dolly appeared to me. I remember that dream like it was yesterday, which it wasn't. I had just clobbered Yugi at Dungeon Dice Monsters, the game I created myself. I was going to the mall with my cheerleaders to celebrate my victory, when I noticed a girl with long black hair and green eyes. She turned to me and said 'hello'. I asked her if she wanted to hang with us.
When she said yes, I nearly jumped out of my shoes! I was only joking! I didn't expect her to say YES!! I remember waking up happy that morning, despite the fact that I didn't beat Yugi at Dungeon Dice Monsters a few days back.
As a matter of fact, to this day, I don't even think that WAS Yugi...!! Heh! Silly, huh?
Possibly the scariest dream I ever had with Dolly in it was the one I had last night. I'll never forget it. Things were working out perfectly. Dolly was my girl, and I felt that, even if I lost all my money, it wouldn't matter, so long as I had her. And just when I thought things couldn't POSSIBLY get any better...they did!! She had just agreed to marry me! I couldn't believe it! I was so happy...then the bad stuff started happening.
First, and probably the most significant thing that happened....was that Honda showed up. He talked to her, told her some crummy joke that wasn't even funny, then gave her a rose. Then she goes off with HIM!! Come on! I'VE told her jokes that were waaay funnier than his 'lil corny one! And I gave her an entire BOUQUET of roses!!
The next thing that happened was that she ended up marrying HIM instead of ME!! And I had the nerve to go to the wedding. But the real reason I had went...was to say good-bye. I walked up to the new married couple and I said to Dolly 'I hope you're happy with this butthead.' I said to Honda, 'Have fun with my ex-girlfriend, you jerk.'
Well, you know how bad things always happen in threes?
The third and scariest thing that happened was that I drove off into the woods. I was still wearing my suit from the wedding. I stopped the car in the scariest, darkest part of the forest and pulled a gun from the glove compartment. I said a few last words, then aimed the gun at my head and pulled the trigger.
Then I woke up!!!! I was sweating bullets. My sweat felt like ice. The time on my clock read 3:45 a.m. I slammed the back of my head back onto my pillow. 'What a terrible nightmare...' I muttered.
I guess it's my fault we all got in detention. Because when I walked into class this morning and I saw Honda, my dream came back to me, and my first reaction....was to strangle the crap outta him!!! I didn't care if he died either (and he almost did)! I just wanted to strangle him to kingdom come!! And I would have succeeded too!
That is, if Jonouchi and Yugi hadn't tried to break up the fight.
I had no right to do this. I couldn't control myself! Nobody should be allowed to take my Dolly!!"
Otogi could not write anymore. His hands were shaking and he was close to tears, from anger and sadness. 'I think that's enough...' he thought as he put the cap on his pen.
Just for the heck of it, he had decided to throw a die at Honda's head. He turned toward his desk, aimed, and before he got the chance to toss it, he saw an eraser go flying in the direction of Honda's head. He heard Jonouchi's loud whispering: "Shaddap!!"
He heard something else, and turned around to see Kaiba, trying not to laugh, and not doing a very good job of it. Otogi was one of two people close enough to hear Seto laughing.
End Chapter Five
I always did like the way each chapter tied into each other...pretty clever, ne?
Coming next chapter: Chapter Six's feature story was written by our tomb raider's lovable hikari, Ryou Bakura. Ja ne!
