Chapter 19: Hide N' Go Seek
"Ahh!" yelped Yugi. "Good God, it can't be!"
Téa stared at the person holding Kaiba. "I can't believe it's you!"
Kaiba struggled in his captor's arms. Then, without warning, he bit down hard on the man's hand.
"OW!" The man immediately released Kaiba.
Kaiba back away from him and glared. "Pegasus, what the hell are you doing here?!"
Pegasus grinned his scary grin. "Why, to get revenge on you, Kaiba-boy!"
Kaiba stared at him. "What did I do?! You're a sick freak!" he spat.
Joey stared at Pegasus for a moment, then nudged Tristan. "Do you see what I see?" he whispered.
Tristan peered closely at Pegasus. Particularly the hair under the hood of his cloak. "Yeah, I do."
Both burst out laughing.
Pegasus stomped his foot. "I'm trying to have a conversation with Kaiba-boy! What could possibly be so funny?"
Joey tried to answer but just started laughing again.
Kaiba look at the duo. "You two are weird."
"Anyway, Kaiba-boy, I think that you deserve to be punished for the mistreatment of Funny Bunny," Pegasus said.
Just then, Yugi and Bakura both burst out laughing as well. They had seen the same thing Joey and Tristan had.
"I demand to know what is so funny!" said Pegasus, stomping his foot again.
Tristan casually walked up to Pegasus and pulled back his hood.
Pegasus gasped.
Then everyone started laughing.
Téa pointed at his hair. "Oh my gosh! He has neon pink hair!" She started giggling uncontrollably.
"No!" Pegasus cried. "I'm ruined!" He started sobbing.
Kaiba snickered. "So much for revenge, eh?"
"Shut up," Pegasus whimpered.
"I have just one question; how the hell did that happen?" Bakura asked.
"I put the wrong dye in," Pegasus sniffed. "I put pink instead of silver in."
Yugi let Yami take control. The former pharaoh could not pass up a chance to see this.
Serenity reached into her handbag and pulled out a camera. Quickly, she snapped a few pictures. "These will be great for my scrapbook!" she exclaimed.
Pegasus paled. "No, anything but pictures!" he wailed.
"Good job, Serenity," Joey complimented.
"Thanks, big brother. ^^," said Serenity. [A/N: Lol! I just had to put in a '^^' Couldn't resist! ^_~]
"I'm leaving!" Pegasus cried. "I hate you all! See if I ever come back!"
Téa snorted. "See if we care."
The director, who was standing nearby observing all this, smacked his forehead. "Damn! Now I might have to find a replacement Pegasus." He sighed heavily and walked away from the scene. Nothing had been going right.
Pegasus ran off sobbing.
"If we're lucky, he'll commit suicide," remarked Kaiba.
Tristan snorted. "One could only hope!"
Yami crossed his arms over his chest. "Well…"
Bakura sighed. "Well, that was interesting."
"Is it just me, or did Bakura sound French for a minute?" asked Téa.
Bakura looked at her. "It was just you, Téa. ^_^"
"If you say so…" Téa trailed off.
Joey yawned. "So now what? We managed to scare off the director again."
"Why don't we set fire to things?" suggested Malik.
He earned a couple of stares.
"It was just an idea. Like, bite my head off!" Malik said.
"We didn't even say anything!" said Yami. "Stupid child."
"I am not a child," growled Malik.
"You are in my eyes," said Yami.
"Stupid half-ass wannabe pharaoh," Malik grumbled.
"At least I was the pharaoh," Yami smirked.
"Um, Yami, you probably shouldn't go there. If you skip ahead to Battle City, you'll notice that Malik is quite touchy with the pharaoh subject," said Téa.
Yami sweatdropped. "You're right."
"I know!" said Joey. "How about we play Hide and Go Seek?"
"Yeah!" agreed Tristan enthusiastically. "I love that game!"
"I guess we could play that," said Téa, scrunching up her nose.
"Who should be It?" asked Kaiba.
Everyone immediately looked at him, including Téa.
Kaiba rolled his eyes. "Oh, for the love of Ra! Fine! Hurry up and go hide! I'm only counting to twenty!"
Everyone scrambled in opposite directions, hoping to find the best hiding spot.
Kaiba sighed and closed his eyes, also covering them with one hand. "One, two, three, four…"
Téa looked around and spotted a patch of bushes. "Aha!" she exclaimed quickly diving into them. She landed on someone.
"Ow!" Joey's voice rang out. "No fair," he added when he saw Téa. "I was here first."
"Too bad, so sad. Now deal with it and make room for two," Téa demanded.
Joey sighed and squished over.
"That's better. ^^ Thanks, Joey, you're a real pal," said Téa.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever," Joey pouted.
"Shh, someone's coming," Téa said.
Both quieted down and listened carefully.
"Where is everyone?" Kaiba said quietly, but loud enough for Téa and Joey to hear.
Téa sat still, listening intently.
"Hmm, maybe I should check that bush," Kaiba suggested to himself. He reached his hand in and felt something soft. He tried to pull it out of the bush.
Suddenly a loud, "KYYYAAAAAA!" rang out from the bush.
Kaiba let go of whatever he was touching and jumped back.
A red-faced Téa and a pale-faced Joey emerged from the bush.
"You were groping me!" Téa shouted at Kaiba. "PERVERT!"
Kaiba turned beat red. "I didn't know you were in there!" he stammered.
"Even I know not to touch a lady like that!" Joey yelped.
Téa cuffed Joey upside the head. "I sure as hell hope so!"
"Ow!" Joey held his throbbing head.
"I'm sorry, Téa!" said Kaiba. "I didn't know I was touching your… your…"
"My breast?" Téa fumed.
"Yes…" Kaiba gulped. "I didn't even know it was you in there."
Téa subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest. "Next time look, before you decide to take a feel!"
Kaiba nodded vigorously. "I will."
Right then, everyone emerged from their hiding spots.
"Who screamed?" asked Bakura.
"Never mind," Kaiba snapped.
Bakura, Yami, Malik, and Tristan stood around Joey, Téa and Kaiba.
"Guys, back up a little. It's really creepy when you surround us like vultures," said Téa.
"Maybe they are vultures," Joey said in a mysterious voice.
"Joey, get a brain," Téa snapped.
Everyone backed up a little.
"So much for Hide and Go Seek," Yami sighed.
"Yeah, it would have been fun if Téa had just ignored the groping," Joey said nonchalantly.
Everyone stared at Téa.
"Stop looking at me, damn it!" she screeched.
They turned their gazes to the ground.
Kaiba was about to walk away when he was hit in the back the head with something.
"Ow," he muttered and picked up the thing that had drilled him.
It was a dice.
And Duke Devlin stood just a few meters away, glaring at Kaiba. "Téa is mine," he growled.
Téa turned pale and fainted. Joey just barely caught her.
What was this all about?
