Lightning-Dono: If no one has yet noticed, this fanfic's updates will not be updated as frequently as before. Now it will be updated 1-2 times a week. I've scheduled myself so I have enough time for homework, friends, video games, reading, and writing these fanfics. Also, I'll be working hard on my imagery and quality writing for you guys' reading pleasures. :D Plus, I will be switching from this fanfic to the other one I am currently writing. This fanfic is coming to an end, anyway. Can't stretch it any further than this. xD;
Except...I'm sorry to say this, but this fanfic will end on the next chapter. I've already planned it. If you'd like, check out my other fanfics.
MERRY CHRISTMANNUKWANZAKA! (I really don't think that's how you spell it, but close enough. xD) This chapter is more of a humorous type thing to lighten up the mood.

Vanessa463 – Seto x Isis rocks! So much better than...No offense to fans...Yuugi x Rebecca. I mean, I don't like Rebecca. She's so annoying! Thanks for the definition and expansion of my vocabulary! Blame my parents for speaking so much Vietnamese around me. ((blames))
Witch01 – Thank you! Um...Is this soon enough? oO; I'm a little laggard.

"What do they think they're doing?" Jounouchi asked, still eyeing the couple with distaste. "Smooching right infront of a public building. This isn't high school. I can find plenty more romantic places than that place."
Anzu was a little offended by this comment for some reason. "Leave them alone, Jou," she urged, annoyed. "If it were me and...someone else," her eyes shifted slightly in the direction of Yuugi's head, "you wouldn't be saying anything."
The blonde laughed heartily. "I'd have much to say. I'd say, 'When are you getting married?'"
The girl looked ready to smack him across the face brashly. Jounouchi, however, broke into fits of laughter. "Really Anzu, you think I didn't see your eyes?"
Anzu blushed full in the face, making her look more like a tomato decorated with facial features and hair instead of a rather angry human. "Jounouchi, I must admit that you have the most INSENSITIVE soul in the world!" She continued to bash her companion with words that would make grandmothers gasp. Yuugi chuckled nervously.
Honda picked this exact moment to pass gas, hoping it wouldn't be heard. Except it was a little bit louder than he had expected.
There was an abrupt pause as soon as the molecules of stink were released from an unmentioned source. The others didn't even bother taking a moment to ponder upon who had let it out. Instead, they instantly snapped their attention towards Honda, who grinned in what he thought was an innocent way.

"You have to learn a pleading technique," Kara was telling Mokuba as they flapped their wings gently to glide slowly up one slide of the mountain. Their feathery wings slapped against each other, causing Kara to often burst into a fit of giggles that seemed incurable. "I'm sorry," she gasped. "It's just so fun when you're around! Anyway, you need to impress the Buddha. Add a little personal flair into it."
"How so?"
"Well, maybe compliment upon his long, droopy earlobes with honesty and make sure he's buying it. Then when you speak, don't try to sound desperate. Sound like you do when you're talking to me."
Mokuba tried to image a powerful being falling for a simple trick like buttering him up. "I don't think that'll work."
Kara's eyelashes batted in order to rid of the light snow that was resting on them. "You know, he's a little softy. I've seen many a soul pass through without him bothering them."
"Riiiight."
"You don't believe me?" She poked him in the shoulder playfully.
Mokuba winced slightly. "Not really. I mean, he's so wise and a few words can get you to eternal peace?"
"He can sense whether or not you have committed sin or been nice in your life."
"Sounds like Santa."
Kara raised an eyebrow. "If you say that, he'll probably think you were nuts. Besides..." Her eyes wandered towards the peak that was now within their field of vision. "He's right up there. Just a bit further."

Isis sincerely wished that the gang would just bug off. Jounouchi was being annoying as hell, just casting fascinated looks back towards she and Seto. If he had gone to high school, he would've seen the many couples scattered across the halls.
"Seto," she murmured, pushing aside his hair to reveal a completely smooth forehead.
"Hmm...?"
"Can we...um..."
"Marry?"
Isis blushed furiously, lugging him over to the abandoned side of the block of buildings. It was strangely clean, but she didn't take the time to think about something that wouldn't have affected her life, anyway. Although it was a little odd to stand in an alley surrounded by sparkling trash cans.
"Well...Er...Yes."
"Accepted."
Kaiba's stood up, raised his head, and kissed her passionately in her hair, a very funny choice for someone as straightforward as him. "Have it this Saturday."
"That's tomorrow!"
"I have many workers. They shall help us prepare." He reached down to grab each of her hands, bringing them together. The folds of her skirt straightened in the wind as it blew the hem backwards, constricting her legs dangerously. Isis's hair blew back and Kaiba's hair flew forward to tickle her face. "I don't want to lose you."
"So you're doing it early...Because of that?" Isis laughed in a light-hearted way. "I'll be sure to tell Malik about this. And Yuugi."
Kaiba's eyes stopped wandering to focus on a tree that was teetering back and forth in the wind. "I suppose just this once Yuugi can be invited." A forced smile made it's way to his face, stretching his mouth in an abnormal way. "And...That inu."
Isis nearly jumped with surprise in the acceptance and dedication Kaiba was showing. Just to fulfill her greatest desires and interests.
"Kaiba-kun..."
"Mmmm?"
"I hope tomorrow will go well."
"Don't think like that. Jinxing our luck isn't what you want, right?"
His hands subconsciously went to her narrow waist, taking her in. "See you tomorrow." Massaging his shoulders for a second, she nodded gaily, waved, and skipped on the down the street.
