a/n: Hello to all the nice people who reviewed. I'm gonna' crank these next chapters out easily. So get ready to check every day or so! (Oh, and tell your friends about my fics please because I want to get at least five reviews on each chapter before I update. Come on, that's not too much to ask, is it?)
(Disclaimer) Oh, yeah. I don't own 'Cujo.' That's Stephen King's, who ROCKS!!!

Yami hadn't had this much fun in a long time. The water was cold, but he hardly noticed. He was having the time of his life and he had especially loved the expression on Joey's face when he had hit him square in the face with a balloon. Yami thought he was soaked before, but it was nothing compared to what he was now. He didn't think there was even a word to describe how wet he was.
"Tristan!" he yelled, running backwards as his friend turned around. Pitching a miss at him, Yami turned and ran around the side of the house. But no sooner had he turned the corner, he ran head on into Kai. She had been coming around to take a shot at Tea, but the balloon never even left her hand.
They cried out as they landed on the ground. Kai got hit the hardest; she landed underneath Yami. They stared at each other for a few seconds, trying to catch their breath. Then, Yami suddenly became aware of the situation and rolled off her. He stood up, back toward her, because he could feel the fact that he was red in the face. He was surprised to see that his balloon had somehow made it to the ground without popping and he picked it up. He glanced over his shoulder and saw Kai sit up.
She reached behind her and groaned as she picked up the remnants of her balloon. Yami laughed and extended his hand to help her up. She took it and grinned.
"Now," Kai said, backing into the house and glancing around the corner as if she were in some spy movie. "My mission. Get to the porch, grab a balloon or two, and then /war/!" she laughed.
Yami laughed too as she leaned around the corner again. "I've got your back," he said, backing up against the house next to her and holding his balloon as much like a gun as possible. "Go," he said, grinning.
Kai glanced around the corner once more before darting out into the open. Yami came out and diverted Tristan's attention to himself by tossing his water bomb at him. He dodged Tristan's balloon and ran to the porch for more ammunition.
Kai was already off and Yami couldn't see her through all the water flying everywhere. He didn't have much time too look, though, for Tristan was coming at him again. Yami tossed a balloon at him and hit his friend in the shoulder. They both laughed and Yami set off toward the street. It wasn't soon after that he heard Kai call his name from somewhere over by the driveway. He turned before he had a chance to stop himself and the result was a face full of water.
He recovered quickly and threw one back at her. She squealed and ducked, allowing the water balloon to hit Carlos square in the nose. Yami couldn't control himself. He burst out laughing at the look on Carlos' face.
Turning around, Kai started laughing too when she saw her friend. "When did you get here?" she asked when she had calmed down.
"Just a few minutes ago. I was dry then," Carlos replied with a sour look.
"Oh, cheer up. We're all soaked too if you haven't noticed," Kai laughed. Yami walked up and stood beside her. "What time is it?" she asked.
"Four," he replied. "The movie starts at four thirty. We should leave now, but I don't think the owner would be too pleased if we showed up drenched."
"Is there a later showing?" Kai asked.
"Uh, I think so."
"Cool, we'll go then. What time does that start?" she asked.
"I think it starts at seven," he replied. Yami could see Carlos wasn't happy about changing the time of the movie. It was also clear that he didn't appreciate Yami hitting him with a water balloon, on purpose or not.
"OKAY GUYS!" Kai cried to get her friends' attention. They stopped and looked at her, most with silly grins on their faces. "Time to dry off and get ready for the movie! It starts at seven."
With that, Kai took off to change with Yami and Carlos close behind. Before she entered the house, she assigned Tea, Tristan and Bakura to pick up all the little balloon pieces and Joey was in charge of walking around with a bag for the garbage. Yami and Carlos got the job of drying the kitchen.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"How did this water get everywhere?" Carlos asked sourly as he picked up the towel that was heavy from all the water. He dropped it in the sink with a loud plop.
Yami couldn't hold in a grin. "I don't know," he lied. He wondered what was wrong with Carlos. He seemed to be in a very bad mood. But Yami was so happy from the water balloon fight that Carlos didn't bother him in the slightest.
Kai came out of her room nice and dry in a denim skirt and jacket over a blue tee shirt. "How's it coming?" she asked, picking up a towel and drying the rest of the dishes.
"We're pretty much finished," Yami said, catching her eye and grinning. Carlos glowered.
"Did you two do this?" he asked, folding his arms.
"You could say that I suppose," Kai said, giving her friend a sly grin. Carlos didn't return it. "Oh, come on. Just because Yugi hit you with a bit of water doesn't mean you have to get all moody. Cheer up already!" Kai said, play punching Carlos in the arm. He sighed loudly but Kai ignored him. "Okay, I'm going to get the fan."
Yami and Carlos stared at her as she darted into the boys room. She came out a moment later, dragging a huge fan behind her. She pulled it into the living room and ran to the front door.
"Come on and dry off!" she shouted. When the others were in the living room, Kai walked around the fan and put her finger just over the button. "This will be a little odd, but it works. I've done it!" With a giggle, she pressed the button and the fan turned on. Everyone laughed, including Carlos, and they stepped in front of it.
Carlos wasn't all that wet, so he didn't stay in front of the fan for very long. He went over and lounged on the couch like he owned it. Kai giggled at him and rolled her eyes. Carlos just grinned.
After a few minutes, Joey pulled off his shirt. "Hey, do you have someplace to hang this or something?" he asked, holding it up.
"Uh..." Kai said, looking around. "Over here!" she said, pulling the curtains open and taking Joey's shirt and draping it over the rod.
"That's a good idea," Bakura said, doing the same. "We'll dry faster this way."
Tristan followed suit and Kai hung their shirts over the rod with Joey's. She looked at Yami, waiting to see if she would be doing the same with his. He shrugged and took it off. It was a good idea, really. Every once in a while, Joey had one of those.
Carlos' smile faded from his face. He folded his arms and pretended not to see Kai watching the other guys with a grin.
"Hey, that's not fair," Tea said in mock anger. "I can't take my shirt off!"
"Sure you can," Carlos teased. His glum mood didn't affect his quick wit at all. Tea glowered at him. "You set yourself up for that one," he said.
Tea had to agree and went slightly red. Kai laughed and leaned against the wall.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
In a little while, everyone was about as dry as they were going to get, so Kai handed the boys back their shirts. Carlos scowled when Kai gave Yami's back to him with a smile.
- I'm obviously going to have to act fast now that this Yugi creep is in the picture, - Carlos thought. He hated competition that had any chance of beating him what so ever. He'd have to make absolutely sure that Kai spent more time with him then with Yami. He hadn't been pleased when he realized that Kai had invited this guy and his other friends on their movie night. He had never even brought one friend, let alone five! He had never wanted to. It disturbed him that Kai wanted to invite these guys.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon they were on their way to the movie theater. When they arrived, Kai grabbed her wallet. She paid for all their tickets and Carlos bought snacks. Another thing that bugged him. He had to buy snacks for friends that weren't even his! He didn't see this as fair.
In the theater, Tea slid in first with Joey, Tristan, Bakura and Yami behind her. Carlos realized a little too late, and by then there wasn't enough time to go in next so Kai was on the outside. He glowered at Yami in the dark as Kai sat down. Carlos slid in last as the movie started.
Every once in a while, Carlos glanced over at Yami and Kai. Kai was sitting, holding a bucket of popcorn and steadily popping it into her mouth without taking her eyes of the movie. Yami was sitting with his arms on the armrests and every once in a while he'd reach over and take a couple pieces of popcorn out of Kai's bucket. Kai usually never noticed when he did though. She was too wrapped up in the movie.
About halfway through, the popcorn bucket ran out from Kai, Yami and Carlos all sharing it. She put it on the floor and sat back. Now she was just picking up her soda every once in a while and sipping from it, all the while staring at the screen. It amazed Carlos that she could find the drink in the dark without looking at it. She sort of looked like she was in a trance.
MOVIE SCENE...
The boy and his mother were in the car. She was holding onto him. They had gotten away from the dog. It was safe now. Everything was calm. Then the dog jumped up against the window and the music flared.
END MOVIE SCENE...
Kai jumped and grabbed the armrests when Cujo started clawing at the car window. Yami looked at her for a few seconds. She didn't realize until he moved his hand that she had grabbed hold of it when she gripped the armrest. Carlos did though.
"Oh!" she whispered, glad that it was dark because she could feel her face growing hot. "Sorry!" She removed her hands from the armrests and put them firmly in her lap.
Yami gave her a small smile and a nod to let her know it was all right then went back to the movie.
- Just my luck. The one time she gets a bit scared and goes for the armrests, my hand isn't there, it's /Yugi's/! - Carlos glowered at him, though no one saw.

a/n: Okay, if any of you thought from earlier chapters that Carlos liked Kai, then you were right! More to come and it begins after the movie...
Don't forget to REVIEW!! I want to know if you are liking my fic!
