a/n: Hey! This is where it starts to get good, so read and review! I know, I know, it took me long enough, right? SORRY!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
- I wish this headache would go away. -
Kai was sitting in her room, rubbing her temple. Flipping through a few papers, she sighed, crumpling them and tossing them in the trash. They were never any good.
The door opened and Kai snapped her head up. "Tea! You scared me," she said, putting a hand over her heart and breathing in relief.
Tea laughed. "Sorry. What are you doing?"
"Nothing," Kai said, waving it away. "What are you doing?"
"Same thing. Isn't it interesting?" Tea asked, sitting beside her friend on the bed.
They both laughed.
"What are the boys doing?" Kai asked.
The brunette shrugged. "Talking about Duel Monsters. Well, Tristan, Joey and Bakura are. Yugi's reading."
Kai nodded. "What would you say to going to a movie tonight?" she asked.
"Oh? Which one?" Tea replied.
"'Cujo.' See, Carlos and I have movie night every Friday. One week he chooses the movie, and the next I do. And I picked 'Cujo'," she said.
"Oh," Tea said after a second. "What's that about?"
"It's a horror about a rabid dog," Kai said matter of factly.
"Sounds... fascinating," Tea said, trying to sound interested. - What's the point in watching a movie about a rabid dog? - But she didn't want to insult Kai, so she agreed to go.
"Great! I'll check if the guys want to come too." Kai got off the bed and went across the hall. She stopped just before turning the handle. - It would probably be best to knock first, - she thought with a laugh. She rapped three times on the door and a few seconds later, Joey opened it.
"What's up?" he asked, letting her and Tea in.
Yami was lounging on the bed reading a book. When Kai entered, he looked up briefly, then went back to reading.
"Carlos, Tea and I are going to see 'Cujo' tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to come too," she said.
"Oh, man! I've been dying to see that!" Joey exclaimed. "Count me in!"
"All right," Bakura said.
"Sounds like fun," Tristan replied.
Yami was concentrating on reading his book, but soon realized that he had been reading the same sentence over and over. He noticed the room had gotten very quiet and he glanced up to find them all looking at him.
"Yes?" he asked, confused.
"Are you coming to the movie or not?" Joey asked impatiently.
Yami looked at him blankly. Movie? What movie? Trying to cover up his ignorance, he just nodded.
His answer seemed to satisfy them because they began to talk about what he assumed must be the movie they were going to see.
Figuring he'd better listen so he didn't look like an idiot when he didn't know what movie it was, he closed the book. He didn't really know what was happening in it anyway. His mind had been wandering from the minute he had picked it up. Holding it and flipping a page once in a while allowed him to drift away without anyone bothering him. He didn't remember what he had been thinking about, but he figured it must not have been important, otherwise he would have remembered it.
Tuning back into reality, he heard Kai say Carlos' name.
"...we usually go to a movie every week," she was saying. "We alternate who picks the movie. It's my turn tonight. And I picked 'Cujo.'"
Cujo. He hadn't heard of it. What was it about? It sounded like a horror. He didn't mind horrors. At least it wasn't a romance. He stifled a laugh when he thought about himself watching a romance. He'd probably throw up.
"Carlos is going to come over to walk with us at about four tonight," Kai said, looking at her watch.
Yami glanced at the clock across the room. Two thirty. He had some time to kill. So he picked his book up again. He heard the others talking about the movie and figured they wouldn't notice if he read. He began to read the same sentence again and again once more and he had to concentrate on the plot to move on. He still had absolutely no idea what was happening in it and he was about a quarter way through it.
"What are you reading?"
Yami jumped at the sound of Kai's voice and jumped for a second time when he realized she was sitting next to him on the bed.
"Uh..." What was he reading? He checked the cover quickly and told her the name.
"You had to check?" Kai laughed. He just grinned absently.
"I'm going to go do the dishes," Kai announced, standing and heading for the door.
"Have fun," Joey said and she rolled her eyes.
She sighed as she stared at the pile of dishes in the sink. She hated doing the dishes, but they had to be done. She picked up the sponge and set to work.
She was about halfway through when Yami came up next to her.
"Do you want some help?" he asked, picking up a towel.
"Sure, thanks," Kai replied, grateful for his assistance.
He started drying the dishes that Kai put in the drain and stacking them neatly on the counter afterwards. After a while, the silence got to be a bit unnerving, so he just said something out of the blue.
"How long have you and Carlos known each other?"
"Nearly all our lives. I met him when I first moved here with Gran I think," she replied, looking up at the ceiling as if she were thinking about it.
"You've been best friends since you met?" Yami really wasn't that interested in the answer; he just didn't like the silence that would be there if he didn't ask the questions.
"Yup. I guess you could say we were just made to be," Kai said, smiling at him. "He gets a little annoying sometimes and his head is so swelled it's amazing he can get through my doorway, but he's a nice guy."
Yami laughed and set another bowl on the counter. Kai and Carlos did seem to get along incredibly well. So well, it would be easy for someone to think they were dating.
He was trying to think of something else to say when he got a spray of cold water in his face. He wiped the water out of eyes and saw Kai standing there with the sink spritzer, laughing so hard she was in danger of falling over. Yami stood there for a few seconds, stunned.
Then he grabbed the spritzer out of Kai's hands and squirted her. She squealed and put her arm up to block her face. When he released the trigger, Kai grabbed hold of it and they started wrestling for it. Both of them were getting very wet and they were laughing hysterically.
"Wait!" Kai finally cried. "Wait, hold it!" Yami stopped struggling for the spritzer, but didn't let go. "I have an idea!" With that she let go of it and ran to her room. Yami sprayed her in the back as she went with a laugh. He leaned against the sink and felt his shirt. It was soaked.
"Yugi?" Yami looked up and saw Tea, Joey, Bakura and Tristan standing in the doorway. He felt himself go slightly pink in the face. He realized he must look awful stupid standing at the sink holding the spritzer, soaked to the skin.
"What on Earth are you doing?" Tea asked. Yami opened his mouth to explain, but Kai came running out of her room holding something over her head.
"I've got -!" she cried just before she slammed into Joey. She had seen him too late to stop her momentum and the result was a painful collision. Everyone started to laugh. Kai and Joey did too after they caught their breath.
A few minutes later, after everyone had calmed down, Kai spoke. "I have an idea!" Yami looked at what she was holding for the first time since she had come out of her room and saw what it was. It was a pack of balloons.
- What are those for? - he thought.
Kai answered that in her next sentence, though. "Anyone up for a water balloon fight?" The reply was a number of cheers and excited whoops. "Come on, let's fill these up."
Yami put the spritzer back in it's holder as Kai made her way over to the sink. She almost slipped on the water that was on the floor, but regained her balance quickly as Yami gave a small laugh. She ignored him and put the mouth of the first balloon over the faucet and turned on the water. When it was full, she shut off the tap and tied the balloon.
"You can use the bathroom sink too," Kai said, filling the next one. Tea, Joey and Bakura grabbed some balloons and set of at a run for the bathroom.
Yami and Kai took turns putting water in the balloons and soon they had run out. At about the same time, the other three came out of the bathroom, each with an armload of water bombs. It took all six of them to get all of them outside and a number were popped on their way down onto the porch.
"Okay, you all know how to play, so get ready..." Kai said and each of them picked up a few balloons. "Get set..." Everyone got a balloon at the ready. "GO!!"
Water was suddenly everywhere. There were screams of delight as people were hit and slowly they learned to duck behind trees and hide until the time was right. Kai had already been wet from her fight with Yami earlier, but by the time she hid around the side of her house, she was drenched. Giggling, she saw a perfect opening to hit Tea in the back and she prepared to take it...
