"When You See the Light"
- - -
Hey! Sorry that this update took so long! I was on vacation as well as working on "Ankh Of Despair". Enough talk! On with chapter six!
SPECIAL THANKS: Crimson Winter's story "Happy Time" is what gave me the idea to let them go on vacation. . . she FINALLY updated! You should check it out if you like Yami/Seto stuff (my other story, Ankh Of Despair, also has that).
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the show Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters. I do, however, own the plot of this story.

Bakura burst into his house and skipped up the stairs in excitement. His mother, startled by the sudden opening of the door and the white streak that flew up the stairs, stopped the tomb robber before he could follow. Cold, brown eyes stared down at her, making the woman fidget nervously.
"Um, spirit of the ring, may I ask what the excitement is all about?" Her eyes looked into his in an almost pleading manner, "You're not chasing him, are you?" Her hands twisted in the bottom of her shirt.
Yami Bakura smirked. Spirit of the ring. . . he liked that title. Being called Yami Bakura only meant that he was a more demonic version of Bakura. . . which wasn't saying much considering how much of an angel the young albino was. Returning to that woman's question, "I'm not chasing him. We're going on a trip along with eight others."
Elizabeth backed away a bit and looked concerned, "He didn't even ask if he could go! He should know that he should ask our permission first!" Richard was now standing behind he wife, leaning against the wall and nodding his head, a frown plastered across his face in disappointment at his son's actions.
The thief rolled his eyes, "Has it ever occurred to you that your son is eighteen now? You know, an adult? He can make his own decisions and go wherever he damn well pleases!" He marched up the stairs, leaving some bewildered parents behind him. Okay, so he had defended his hikari. . . not a big deal. He did that at Yugi's house too when Marik kept putting the moves on the young boy. It was true that usually he asked his parents before jumping to a decision. Perhaps this was a sign that some of the tomb robber's traits were finally wearing of on the boy. . . this trait being independence. Suddenly, Yami Bakura didn't really like the idea of his angel changing. The spirit's eyes were as wide as dinner plates, 'No! He isn't MY angel!'
Bakura's socked feet made little noise as he ran around his room gathering things to take with him to Hawaii, the list flapping crazily in his grip. He stopped, noticing the grim look on his Yami's face, "Are you okay Yami?" He tilted his head while plopping himself down onto the bed, bouncing gently.
Yami Bakura stood by the bed and absentmindedly ruffled his hikari's hair, "No, nothing is wrong my angel. I'm going to go take a shower." Realizing what he had said, he ran quickly out of the room and down the hall.
The smaller boy sat there for while, his face turning bright red at the name he had been called, 'Did he really mean that?' Bakura thought back to the events that had occurred earlier that day, 'No, that's nonsense. Leave it to me to get my hopes up. . . besides, I have my sights set on someone else.' The albino thought dreamily about his secret crush.

Tristan tossed some clothes into a couple suitcases, checking the items off on his list while doing so. The whole lot of them were going to be flying on of the Kaiba Airways (1) jets the next morning, so he had to pack now. He was rooming with his friend Yugi, so it wasn't going to be too bad. . . but he would much rather be spending his nights with the white-haired bishounen.
The brunette sighed, stuffing a suitcase with the last of the things on his list, "This is gonna be so awesome! A trip to Oahu with all of my friends for twenty days!" Tristan lay down on his bed and let out a long sigh. Now that he was done with all of his packing, he could go to sleep. . . problem was, he was much to excited to sleep.
- - -
Yugi and Yami were having the same problem. All that the short hikari could talk about was how nice the beaches were and how he was going to be sure to get souvenirs. The Pharaoh, on the other hand, could only think about how he was rooming with his crush! Luckily, Yami Yugi had been sure to close their mind link. He wouldn't want for little Yugi to see the images going through his head!
Yugi was quietly pacing about the room, constantly emptying the suitcases and checking to make sure that he had everything on the list before placing it all back inside. There was only a very slim chance that he would be getting to sleep tonight, after all, he could easily just sleep on the plane ride to Hawaii, "So," Yugi began, claiming his yami's attention, "You think that we have everything?" He pointed a finger at their suitcases, his eyes showing that he was wide awake and ready for this vacation.
The former Pharaoh merely glanced at the many cases on the floor and then retreated to the bathroom. The hikari watched him with curiosity when the yami returned with a small box. Yugi looked a bit. . . okay, okay, VERY disturbed at what the box contained.
"CONDOMS?!?!" Yugi squeaked, not worrying whether he woke his grandfather or not. His yami was trying to bring condoms!
Yami's eyes opened wide at his partner's outburst, "SHH! You'll wake your grandfather!" His voice came as a harsh whisper, "Guys should always carry these things around. Think of it as a safety precaution. Going on vacation without these is like. . . like riding a bicycle without a helmet!" He smiled when he realized how much sense he was actually making. The former spirit could only hope that Yugi would take that as a good enough excuse.
Yugi blushed, "I think that SOMEBODY has plans with Kaiba!" He giggled, a warm blush coming to Yami's face, "I'm right! You like Kaiba!" Yugi snatched the box from the Pharaoh and bounced around the room with it, eventually tossing it into the suitcase, "Oh yeah, and we don't have any of the real stuff, but this is a good substitute!" He tossed a bottle of lotion into the bag, being sure to send a wink Yami's way.
The spirit of the Millennium Puzzle smiled and laughed nervously, 'I have a baaaad feeling about this. . .'

Joey buried his head in a pillow. He was royally pissed. Rather than staying with the blonde, who he had no clue like him, Seto Kaiba chose to spend all of those nights with the Pharaoh who was blatantly flirting with the young CEO! What sense did that make?!
Three rugged-looking bags sat in a corner of the boys room, "At least I can get away from my dad for a couple weeks." He smiled. Just him and his friends and his crush, what could possibly go wrong?
The blonde frowned. Lots could go wrong. He though back to how Duelist Kingdom, a seemingly harmless tournament, turned into a soul-snatching fiasco. There was also Kaiba's Battle City tournament. There were numerous things wrong with that. A huge battle with the CEO's step father and step brother, the encounter with psycho-Marik (who Joey strongly hoped didn't reappear while they were on vacation), even Joey's own near-death experience (2)! Then the Kaiba Corp. Grand Prix tournament. . . the boy made a mental note not to join anymore Duel Monsters tournaments.
Joey pulled the sheets up over himself to try and sleep. Surprisingly, it came rather quickly to him, and he was soon pulled into a peaceful darkness. . .
- - -
Seto Kaiba sat on his bed. He had already packed everything that he and Mokuba would need, but he couldn't help worrying. He wasn't worried about his company - he was being sure to bring his laptop to take care of as much work as possibly while he was away - and he wasn't worried about the plane ride there - he was confident in his pilot's capabilities - but he was worried about himself for once.
The brunette certainly wasn't so oblivious that he didn't catch the looks that the former Pharaoh had been sending his way while at Yugi's house. Yami wouldn't actually do anything, would he? Seto frowned. At least he was stronger than that little prick, so if he DID try something funny, the taller boy could simply kick his sorry ass. He smirked as the image came to mind. Yes, everything would go smoothly. . . of course, that's what he said about his strategy to beat the said Pharaoh in their duel atop the tower during Battle City.
Seto shook the thought away, settling into bed. Unlike the others, the CEO wasn't in the least bit excited about the trip that was to occur tomorrow, in fact, he was somewhat dreading the many days that he was to be stuck with the people that he so despised. . .
Just a little ways down the hall, Mokuba was in his bedroom planted in front of the T.V. He was engrossed in a rather violent video game, though he was sure that the volume was all the way down. If his brother knew that he was still up, he'd be in a whole world of trouble. Pissing off the elder kaiba was not the best of idea's, especially when he was trying to get some much-needed sleep.
The little boy knew that falling asleep tonight would be like trying to fall asleep on Christmas Eve. . . it just didn't happen. . . so he planned to spend the whole night playing games and thinking about the upcoming vacation. He'd get to be with his big brother the whole time. No work, no school, no being stuck home alone. Just him, his brother, and Yugi-tachi. Of course, he rooming arrangements with Tea made him cringe. He just hope that she slept in something more than a nightgown. Mokuba was beginning to get interested in girls, but not girls like Tea.
Popping in another game and taking a sip of the soda that sat beside him, Mokuba smiled. He just couldn't wait for morning to come. . .
- - -
The next day finally arrived. Each member of the party - Seto, Mokuba, Tea, Tristan, Yugi, Yami Yugi, Bakura, Yami Bakura, Joey, and Marik - all emerged from the CEO's largest limousine. A few luggage carriers were needed, considering that everyone had at least three bags of luggage - Tea, Marik, and Bakura all had four - and they couldn't possible tow all of that by hand.
Most of the larger luggage was checked and placed on the conveyor belt to be lead to the awaiting jet, while the more smaller bags were carried by whomever owned it.
Nearly late, the group of ten bolted for the gates, running down the correct one and stepping inside. The loud sound of the engines muffling everything else. The cheery flight attendants greeted them, eyes a bit wide and brows a bit arched at the variety of people the group contained. Imagine it; the richest man in the city, the richest guys brother, a blonde- haired violet-eyed Egyptian, a street kid with scruffy bright-blonde hair, a boy with one spike for hair, the duel monsters champion, a short kid with tri-colored hair, an albino, a deranged albino, and one girl. . . such a sight they made!
Only moments after everyone was buckled and their luggage was secured, the plane was pushed from its gate and the journey to Oahu finally began!

(1) Kaiba Airways-in the Doom series, Kaiba is dueling Amelda on a Kaiba Airways jet which leads me to believe that Seto Kaiba owns his very own airline!
(2) When the Winged Dragon of Ra attacked Joey, he was actually supposed to die, not be banished to the Shadow realm. . . and the duelist actually felt pain when a monster was destroyed, they didn't just 'get drained of their energy' like the dubbers want us to believe.
NOTE: Just in case some of you are confused, Hawaii is the state and Oahu is an island of Hawaii. . . though one of the islands is called Hawaii, I want to remind you all that when I say Hawaii, I mean the state and not the actual Island.

Hmmm. . . that just may have been the longest chapter I have written so far. What do you all think? Rate and review!
