O.o I got a very large turnout for the cameos… Wow. You people must really want your name in a story. Well, considering that, every single person that reviewed will get a cameo. But I'm having trouble looking at my reviews and I might not get all of you… Sorries!
mandapandabug: o.O You definitely won longest, my friend. And that's a wonderful song! I'll just stick it here so everyone can see the wonderfulness! And I edited it a little, I hope you don't mind. It just had some typos and little things that I fixed. It's essentially the same.
You made Jou catch a Frisbee in his mouth
But that's not what this song is all about
I really like this story
Don't write my name as Cory
Because it's mandapandabug
I'm a big lovable lug
Just like this story's wonderful
And not blundersful
I don't even know if that's right
But a least I'm trying with all my might
To this is the coolest thing
Even more then my bling-bling
Now that's the end of this song
I know it wasn't very long
Like those stupid daters
So I'll review you later
Thanks, mandapandabug! You rock!
Jeshika: Um… unfortunately, only the Creevy magic was accomplished. But you still gave it your all, so you still get a cameo. Happy!
Kariachi: Uh… glad you like it? Thanks for reviewing, and even the most unspecific description of Creevy will do!
Saeadame: Well… Yeah, yer right about Creevy. And sugar does more than weird things. It wickies your bodily functions. I made up "wickies" randomly… the result of sugar. Joy!
Game and Watch Forever: Duelness will be… sometime. When I feel like it. And Colin will take pictures of it. Yayness.
Olidammara: Calling you by your penname just doesn't feel right.
Arthur: (that's better) Well, believe it or not, you still didn't win longest review… And Vader with any instrument would be frightening beyond imagination. Peanuts do taste funny… probably from the fact that Charlie Brown has no hair. O.o
Undy: I've been waiting for you to review. Thank God your parents work. They give you time to come and review my story! Yays! And thanks for the glomps!
i-love-bakura1489: Awesome description for Creevy, but the longest review part didn't work. You still get a cameo! And I'll have you appear with Bakura, just because your name told me to.
Kumori Sakusha formerly Saelbu: Skills. I'm being random, but saying "skills" is fun. Sorry. Anyways, glad you like it! The next chapter should be up to the standard of the others. I hope. Heh.
Misura: You're NEVER too late for the cameos! You should have tried! But you still get one just because you reviewed. Joy! And Yugi and Yami will have more dialogue in here. Mini convos between them are fun to write.
anony: Maddie. Your reviews are insane. I would like very much to know your penname now, if you don't mind, considering that last time I talked to you you had not received the confirmation email, I suppose I should relax, ne? OK.
SonnyGoten: Sure thing! Seto WILL win. We all know it. No one can win with the cards Jou's stuck in Yami's deck… Hehehe…
Natasha: Your reviews are insaner than Maddie's! Geez, Titchy, calm down!
OK, now is the magical time called…Chapter start!
(imagine there's a line here)
Chapter Six
Seto turned slowly toward the tiny person carrying a camera too big for his face.
"Can I take a picture of you? Oh, gosh, you're so cool!" Creevy began to ramble as he lifted the camera and several flashes echoed around the hall.
"Creevy.. I'm going to be late…" Seto attempted to make him go away, but to no avail.
Next came the one moment Seto would EVER be glad that Yugi had arrived in.
The moment lasted about .65 seconds, but it was enough. Yugi was bandaged up, and he looked like he had a few bruises forming on his face, but most of all…
He looked ready to duel.
Finally.
-----
Yugi, do we get to duel now?
/Yes, Yami, we get to duel. Don't hyperventilate./
Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou Yugi!
/Calm down, Yami, you take over and we can duel./
Eeeee, you're the best, Yugi!
/Yami. Calm./
Right. (deep breaths) Caaaaaallllmmmm…
-----
Yugi marched down the hall towards Seto and Creevy, growing another few feet as he walked. His eyes sharpened, his hair stood up further, and his outfit became a little tighter. That's what one gets for sharing a body with a midget.
"Kaiba, I challenge you to a duel!"
Seto would have done a victory dance if he had been anyone other than Seto Kaiba. But he must keep up appearances, so he remained calm.
The two rivals faced each other and pulled Duel Discs out from their backpacks (of course). Creevy looked positively overjoyed at the opportunity to take pictures of Seto at his best, but he didn't remember the cameos!
Suddenly, mandapandabug swung in from a vine growing out of the ceiling and kicked Colin over! She stole his camera and waited anxiously for the duel to begin.
Seto quirked an eyebrow, but the duel must go on!
Seto looked at the cards in his hand. Among them were a Blue-Eyes and a Man-Eater Bug. Joy. This duel would be fun.
-----
Yugi…
/Yami, we're already dueling. What could you want now???/
I think you should look at this…
Yugi stared in disbelief at the cards in his hand:
Bob the Wonder Cow, ATK50, DEF0
President Bush, ATK lies, DEF more lies
Had to stick that in there, folks, I hate him. I'm trying to convince my dad to move to Canada to escape him. No luck so far. America's doomed.
Mrs. Woods, ATK scariness, DEF friggin' weird hairdo
(IMAGINE A LINE)
O.o ummmmmm…. She's my principal.
(IMAGINE A LINE)
Lunch Table of Doom (trap) – All your opponent's monsters are given lunch, which causes nothing.
Poisoned Chinchilla Patties on Rye (magic) – Inflicts 1000 points of damage on your own Life Points.
/Yami…/
Yeah, Yugi?
/Who is Mrs. Woods?/
(sweatdrop)
/And who is Bush?/
(anime fall)
----
Seto watched Yugi and Yami's conversation, bored.
That's when Creevy decided he wanted to take pictures of everything. He got his camera back and clicked that certain button…
FLASH!
Everyone was temporarily blinded.
Yuuuugggggiiiiiiii…
/What NOW?/
Your eyes hurt.
/O.o uuuuh, righto./
Owwwieeeee… Pain.
/Sure, Yami. Just duel./
How am I supposed to duel with these terrible cards???
/Yami, as I recall, you are the King of Games. Doesn't that mean you can cheat and get away with it?/
You know, Yugi, I don't believe I've ever told you how wonderful you are.
/Shut up and duel./
----
Seto blinked several times, trying to make the spots go away… annoying colored spots.
That's when all hell broke loose.
Our favorite puppy ran up from behind Yugi, singing at the top of his lungs (and remarkably well):
"HARK HOW THE BELLS
SWEET SILVER BELLS
ALL SEEM TO SAY
THROW CARES AWAY
CHRISTMAS IS HERE
BRINGING GOOD CHEER
TO YOUNG AND OLD
MEEK AND THE BOLD
FROM EVERY VILLAGE TOWN
CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND
CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT THROUGH THE DARK?
MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS
MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS"
Seto watched as Jou circled around the empty dueling field and swaggered up to him, holding out a bowl of Live Wire.
(IMAGINE THE STUPID LINE, PEOPLE)
…Live Wire is.. very sugary, according to my buddy Arthur. I don't know much about it, except that it's extremely sugary and probably has lots of caffeine, too… And it's soda.
Just looked up "Live Wire" "soda" on Google and found that it's Mountain Dew Live Wire. Awesome.
(FWOOSHY LINE)
"Jou…" Seto started.
"Ya-don'-need-ta-say-anytin' Settyyyyyyyy…" Jou chirped quickly.
"Who gave you sugar, Jou?"
Jou pointed in two different directions.
"Jou, I'm serious. I don't want you-" He was cut off as Jou let out a battle cry and…
Yugi, come out and see this!
/What, Yami, more bad cards?/
No, Jou dumped Live Wire on Seto's head!
/Good for- Wait, I gotta see this!/
Yugi shrank down a few feet and his eyes got all big again. He giggled insanely at the sight of Seto covered in the sugary wetness.
Jou glomped Seto, cackling madly, and began licking the soda out of his hair.
"Jou.." Seto attempted to push Jou off. "Jounouchi!" Jou looked up at Seto, eyes wide with sugar-highness, face wet with the Live Wire.
Yugi! I wanna see now!
/Calm down, Yami, I'm watching!/
Awww, you fun-ruiner.
/Meh. I'm trying to have fun, too./
Meanie.
SUDDENLY-
Undy (That Undomiel Chick) stumbled over in a drunken stupor, decked out completely in pirate gear, carrying two empty bottles that formerly held rum, swinging her gun around madly, singing wildly:
"HEY HO TO THE FLAGON I GO
TO HEAL MY HEART AND DROWN MY WOE
RAIN MAY FALL AND WIND MAY BLOW
BUT THERE STILL BEEEEEE
MANY MILES TO GO
SWEET IS THE SOUND OF THE POURING RAIN
AND THE STREAM THAT FALLS FROM HILL TO PLAIN
BETTER THAN RAIN OR RIPPLING BROOK
IS A MUG OF BEER INSIDE THIS TOOK!"
As she sang, she shot Creevy several times and stole his camera. As she bent over to pick it up, a familiar-looking bottle slipped from under her hat…
"So it was you!" Seto accused, pointing at the Live Wire bottle now rolling on the floor.
Undy ran away quickly, but not before shooting Creevy a couple more times.
Seto sighed and looked over at Jou, who was now attempting terribly to break-dance.
Yugi… O.o
/Not now Yami…/
Yugi, aren't we supposed to be dueling?
/Oh, right!/
"Kaiba, now would be a great time to duel!" Yugi shouted over.
Seto glanced sharply at him and turned back towards the field.
Yugi, how are we supposed to duel with those stupid cards?
/I don't know. You take over and cheat or something./
OK, that's what I do best!
Yugi grew a few feet again and got into a weird battle pose.
Seto drew a card: another Blue-Eyes. He was lucky today.
He played the Man-Eater Bug facedown, just in case, and Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress (ATK1400, DEF1200) in attack mode. Then he lay a trap card face down.
And Yami started monologue-ing.. oh, dear.
(INSERT STUPID CORNY MONOLOGUE ABOUT WINNING AND BEING BETTER THAN SETO HERE)
/Yami.. I think you went overboard…/
Relax, Yugi, he gets monologue time a lot, it's my turn!
/When's the last time he went monologue-hyper like you just did?/
…hyper? You describe my monologue time as "hyper"????? It is SO not hyper! I know hyper, and that monologue was NOT hyper! I KNOW hyper! You should know that wasn't hyper! I-
/Yami. Shut up and duel. Must I say it again?/
No… fine…
Yami drew a card. Finally, something normal – Ancient Elf, ATK1450, DEF1200. Go spellcasters! He smirked evilly as he set it down and ordered it to attack Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress.
Seto smirked twice as evilly as he activated his trap – Shadow Spell. Ancient Elf was trapped and his attack power was reduced by 700 (I'm not certain if that's right, but my brother got his cards taken away so we can't check).
(Insert more duelly stuff here)
Yami looked on in horror as everything he sent out was slaughtered, all the cards he played defeated, all his desperate strategies foiled.
Yugi… I think for once I have lost.
/Wait, Yami, that was that other time-/
Yugi. I don't want to talk about it.
/Well, the cards WERE creative…/
Well... Yes… What was your favorite?
/The Chibi Dark Magician./
Its attack power was in the negatives.
/Yeah, but it was really cute!/
Yugi…
/What? You had your crazy time! It's my turn!/
Let me go down in a blaze of glory first.
/Glory? The card you just set down is going to finish off your Life Points./
Well… Yes, but he has to attack it first.
/So… wait… he's going to attack that monster… and it's Flip Effect is going to do more damage than the actual attack will!/
That's the general idea, yes.
/What will I do with you?/
Let me glare at him!
/…sure…/
Yami stared at Seto, venom dripping from his gaze like melted butter through a hole in a slice of toast.
"Your turn over yet, tall midget?" Seto called, running out of insults from the many he's used during this unwritten duel. (And it shall remain unwritten until I start writing a collection of oneshots explaining bits of my stories that were mentioned that never went into detail... like Mr. Googleygoggle from InuDoodle.)
"Yeah, I end my turn," Yami muttered. Seto drew his card.
"Alright, midget, prepare to be destroyed," Seto said, bored. He directed the Blue-Eyes he had on the field to attack Yami's face down monster. It flipped over.
"Confused Badger? What is that?" Seto asked, staring at the small creature that emerged from the card.
"My defeat!" Yami shouted. "Kaiba, you have not defeated me, I have defeated myself!"
The badger turned and roared an enormous breath of fire that depleted the rest of Yami's Life Points.
Seto blinked. A huge burst of laughter erupted from behind him.
"Seto, are you gonna put up with that? He still insists he won, just because his own stupid card beat him!" Jou managed to say through exploding fits of laughter.
"…well…" Seto considered his options for a moment, then threw his Duel Disc aside and tackled Yami. "CHEATER!"
The continued cries of "CHEATER" and "YUGI SAVE MEEEE" echoed through the hall, accompanied by the laughter from Jounouchi. Teachers in nearby classrooms that somehow didn't hear any noise before (hmm, I like their doors) stuck their heads out of the doors.
"Kaiba! Motou! You two calm down and get over here!" one brave soul shouted.
Seto glanced up at the teacher, normally icy eyes now ablaze with blue flame. Yami also looked up, a pleading look in his dull amethyst eyes. Jounouchi stopped rolling on the ground to watch the quickly blooming shouting match, his chocolate eyes wide with excitement.
(iiiiimaginary liiiiine)
Took an opportunity to describe their eyes… sorry…
(hmm. Lines are imaginary)
Seto stood up slowly from his intended murder victim and turned to the teacher, looking down at him since he was a good five inches taller.
"If, sir, you would be so kind, I would appreciate it if you would allow me to finish in peace? I promise I'll be quieter," Seto asked, voice dripping with false sweetness.
The teacher considered for a moment and then nodded. "Sure, Kaiba. Just keep it down," he answered. Then he returned to his own classroom and the other teachers returned to theirs.
Jou pouted. "Setooooooo, you were supposed to shoooouuuuttt at hiiiiiiiim…" he complained, rolling around on the ground and stretching sleepily.
Seto pondered. "No, pup, I think I've done enough shouting." He turned to Yami, the shivering mass of flesh (well, Yugi's flesh…) cowering beneath him. "You're free to go," he said, prodding him with his foot.
Yami looked up in shock, but quickly got up and ran when Seto started to threaten him with- OK, moving on.
Jou ran over and glomped Seto for the second time, and an explosion of giggles followed as Seto pinned him down and proceeded to tickle him. Let's be glad there's no one else around at the moment. (I cheer for the empty hallway! YAY! No one's there, so it's TICKLE TIME!!!)
"Settyyyyyy- AAAAAH!" Jou giggled insanely at the long fingers tickling him all over.
Seto stopped when he heard footsteps. He get up, grinned at the still-giggling-and-twitching Jou, and walked towards the source of the footsteps.
"Why, hello, birthday boy," a heavily accented voice called from down the hall. It was the sexually ambiguous figure from before.. only now, he was clearly a guy. Obviously, he had switched to his yami.
"Bakura," Seto acknowledged, nodding. He raised an eyebrow at a girl clinging to Bakura's jacket like her life depended on it - i-love-bakura1489. Bakura threw his hands up.
"I can't explain it. She's been following me around since this story started!"
Seto's eyebrow remained in its higher altitude.
"Well, she has. She's reviewed every chapter!"
"I don't even know what you're talking about, tomb robber. Leave me alone."
"Oh, sure, play dumb."
Seto's eyes flashed. "What did you say?" Without waiting for an answer, he pounced.
----Later…----
"Seto, one of these days yer gonna wind up in jail, I swear," Jou said as they walked to lunch.
"It's not my fault. People keep baiting me," Seto replied, crossing his arms.
"Sure, Seto. Sure."
"What? They do!"
Jou grinned and pulled Seto out to the field in the back of the school.
"I know you love to eat out here, Seto. I made you a special birthday lunch." He shoved a blue lunchbag into Seto's arms. "Come on, let's sit under that tree over there."
The puppy ran over to a gorgeous tree near the edge of the school grounds and sat, leaning against it. Seto joined him.
That's when a small fanclub arrived to wish Seto a happy birthday. Among the group were Jeshika, Kariachi, Saeadame, and SonnyGoten. (whoo, four cameos in one!) Everyone showered Seto with gifts of stuff he already has. As the great Arthur once said (well, more than once) "What do you get someone who already has/can get everything?"
When the fanclub left, Seto and Jou were left alone again. But not for long. This is when Maddy (anony) showed up.
"Oh, hey, Kaiba!" she called, running over to them.
"Oh, crap…" muttered Jou as she approached.
"Hey, I just wanted to let you know I think you guys should be Democrats in 'Election Day'! Just wanted to tell you that, see you later!" She ran off.
"Wow. We got off easy," Seto said to Jou. "I'm glad she didn't give me anything." He looked at his pile of gifts. Barnes and Noble gift cards, a couple new trench coats.. ew, red was SO not his color…
(iiiiimaaaaaginary!)
OK, tell me this right now – Do you think Seto would look good in red?
(listens to loud "NO"s)
Good. I think he'd look awful. It doesn't suit him at all.
(la dee daaa imagine it!)
"We can use that for something else. It's perfectly good fabric," Jou said, picking up the red trench coat.
"Are you suggesting we sew something???" Seto asked incredulously,
"Not us personally. Can't we hire someone to make something cool out of it? Oooh, maybe a punching bag!" He dropped the trench and punched it in midair.
Seto shrugged and opened the sack Jou had forced upon him earlier. Inside was a still-warm Blue-Eyes Ultimate Pancake, a Blue-Eyes-shaped thermos of milk, and various other food items adhering to the Blue-Eyes theme.
"Ah, Jou. Thank you." He leaned over and gave Jou an affectionate kiss on the nose. A rare (and fluffy) moment indeed.
"Wait, Seto, there's more… another cheesy little gift for you." Jou reached into his backpack and pulled out… a stuffed Siamese cat? Attached to its ear was a tag in a heart shape that said "ty" on the front. Inside the tag was a name that had been scribbled out and rewritten as "Seto" (messily) and a poem. The poem read:
"He has a rather regal air
Other cats cannot compare
Standing straight and full of pride
You can't resist his deep blue eyes!"
(imagination is key)
This is a real Beanie Baby cat named Siam. It was actually a 'her' but for the purposes of the story she shall be a guy.
(dooooobeedo imagine!)
"I've been wonderin what I could compare you to besides yer Blue-Eyes. I found it – a Siamese cat," Jou said, smiling.
Seto stared at the soft toy in his hands. It stood proudly, much as he imagined he would if he was a cat. The eyes – these didn't quite capture real Siamese blue eyes (or his own, for that matter), but they were close enough. He loved it.
"So… whaddya think?" Jou asked hopefully.
"Jou…" He leaned over and gave Jou a real kiss.
(WTF? Why do you need me to tell you anymore???)
This is boring fluff.. how to make it more interesting..? OOH, CAMEO TIME!
"Not that I'm totally against it or anything, but that's just not right," came a voice from… within earshot.
Seto and Jou parted and looked over at the source of the voice – Game and Watch Forever.
"You know, you don't have to stand there and watch," Jou commented.
Game and Watch Forever pondered for a moment. "Y'know, you're right. See you later!" He left without a fuss.
"That was weird," Jou said unnecessarily.
"Why do people keep showing up?"
"They're cameos, of course!" same another voice. It was Kumori Sakusha.
"Cameos? What's that supposed to mean?" Jou asked.
"Oh… never mind." Kumori ran off.
"You don't need to say it," Seto said as Jou opened his mouth to speak. "You were going to say that was weird, weren't you?"
Jou nodded, grinning.
Seto sighed.
----Later…----
"Come on, we'll be late for class!" Jou urged.
"Calm down, Jou. No one can give us a detention," Seto said.
Jou pulled Seto along at a run anyway and they made it to class before the bell rang.
There was the eardrum-shattering sound of fingernails drawn across a blackboard. The substitute teacher turned around, grinning, and was revealed to be… Arthur (Olidammara)!
"Hello, class," he said, grinning evilly. Then his expression turned to confusion. "What class is this, anyway?"
Many students laughed as he looked around the room in a frantic search for some hint of what class it was. When he found none, he simply started rambling about nothing in particular and the class found themselves starting to enjoy Star Trek. Those who already did, of course, got up and joined Arthur in praising Spock for a while.
----
Yugi…
/What is it, Yami?/
You're in pain.
/Well, I'm glad I'm not in control, then./
It still hurts.
/I know./
Hey, Yugi?
/What?/
I want to duel someone.
/If you weren't in pain, I would hurt you./
(whimper) Don't hurt meeeeee!!!!
----
Seto and Jou left Arthur's class considerably cheery. They were about to enter their next class, astronomy-
(A/N: ASTRONOMY? WTF? Who wrote this????? Oh… I did… Sorry for the interruption.)
-when another strange person ran up to Seto and hugged him.
"Misura! Get back here!" another person yelled. This one was short and looked like she belonged in an elementary school, rather than a high school.
"But Natasha… I just got here!" Misura whined.
Natasha tapped her foot impatiently and Misura reluctantly returned to the classroom she had been entering before she hugged Seto.
Guess what! I just did the last two cameos!!!!!
Seto and Jou looked at each other and shrugged, then entered their own room.
("It's so BLUE and LINEY!")
This is the longest chapter ever. Phew. Finally over!
And this isn't the end of the story. He technically still hasn't beaten Yugi.
And no more cameo competitions, geez, this one went crazy.
Alright, well, read and review! Joy!
