Sorry I'm a bit late, but I was at my sibling's house for the weekend.
However, this chapter is more than double the normal length to make up
for it.
For those of you that are out of school already like myself w00t! And for those who aren't good luck with exams and finals and all of those other hideous tests!
To my knowledge kuso means crap in Japanese, if I'm wrong please let me know. Also, I think Japan is 12 hours behind Florida, but if I'm wrong too bad cuz that would mean changing all of my calculations in this chapter.
I don't know why but quick edit isn't allowing my to use italics...:(
/What the...?/ Alyssa gazed around at his surroundings registering this was definitely not a place he had been before. There was a Dark Magician poster on the wall, riddle books and puzzles laying everywhere and clothes that looked a lot like leather hanging in the closet. /Wait a second, this looks like it would be Yugi's room from the show... Oh my gosh! This is insane, I'm supposed to be on the plane. I must have fallen asleep and I'm dreaming./ Yeah that's it! Alyssa pinched his arm until it started to bleed. /Guess not,/ he thought, quickly healing the cut.
Confusedly, Alyssa walked out of the room and down the stairs, intent on finding Solomon Moto, as this appeared to be the Turtle or Kami? Game Shop/house.
Being as it was only 3 in the morning in Japan, Alyssa had to shake Grandpa Moto awake.
"Um, hi," Alyssa awkwardly greeted. The old man jumped and turned around, grasping his chest over his heart.
"Kuso!" Grandpa shouted in Japanese. Blinking to clear his vision, he spotted Alyssa standing by his bedside.
"Geez you startled me there. Where's Yugi? Wasn't your flight scheduled to arrived at 8 tonight?" Grandpa fired questions at Alyssa. "Yami how exactly did you get there before the plane. Not that I'm not happy to see you but..." Alyssa turned around, thinking Yami was behind him until he remembered they had switched bodies.
"Funny you should ask," Alyssa began. "I just was thinking about how nice it would be to be here and skip the plane ride and pop! I was here. But it's all good because I skipped the last 17 or so hours of the flight. And Solomon? I'm not Yami, I'm Alyssa. A funny little diddy happened recently..." Alyssa proceeded to explain his and Yami's predicament.
Solomon raised his grey eyebrows. However, he did not doubt this explanation, having experienced a good deal of Shadow magic before.
"That's interesting," Grandpa said for lack of anything better to say. "Er, ah, would you like a place to sleep?" Alyssa nodded, even thought he wasn't tired in the slightest because he was still on Eastern time and there it was still 3 in the afternoon. Alyssa tossed and turned, laying awake for most of the night in a semi-conscious state of boredom. Although he was able to take a short nap between 4 and 6 am, Alyssa was unprepared for when he heard noises downstairs in the shop. Glancing at the clock, Alyssa asserted it to be 9 in the morning. That was WAY too early for American teens to be awake when they were not in school, /but hey, this wasn't the US of A, now is it,/ Alyssa thought.
Stumbling down the stairs, just now feeling like it was late enough to go to sleep, Alyssa prepared himself to greet Yami's friends. Along the way he debated whether to tell Yami's friends or act like Yami for the day to see how his friends acted around him.
"Hello," Alyssa waved.
"Hey Yami!" they chorused to Solomon's raised eyebrow. Solomon opened his mouth to say something, but kept quiet when Alyssa- almost unnoticeably- shook his head grinning. Instead the elder Moto asked a typical parent/guardian question. "Shouldn't you lot be in school?" The teens excused themselves, saying they wouldn't be able to concentrate anyway with the prospect of visiting their much missed friends so soon.
"How have you been since your last letter?" Mokuba asked.
"Yeah, have you proposed to Alyssa yet?" Mai gibbered excitedly. /How long has it been since Yami's last letter?!/ Alyssa thought frantically.
"Guys why don't we let Yami rest before we ask questions. Say, till this afternoon... Hey wait! Wasn't your plane supposed to get here at 8...?
"Serenity you hypocrite," Kiaba teased, squeezing her hand. "But really Yami, how did you get here eleven hours early?"
"Actually 17, but before everyone asks me why, I'd rather Ya-Alyssa and the others be here. Let's just do what we normally do and hang out." Alyssa had bought himself some time.
"But where?"
"The ice cream shop."
"Geez, Wheeler, it's too early for food," Kiaba snapped.
"And someone's cranky... did you keep him up for too long last night?" Tristan nudged Serenity in the side. She blushed and shook her head.
"The arcade?"
"No I'm out of yen..." Tristan sighed.
"The pool?" Mai would never miss an opportunity to show off what a bodacious babe she was.
"The pool sounds good," Alyssa agreed. "It IS heated right?"
"Of course Yami, it's January. Don't you have any memory at all?" Tea laughed.
Changing with out Yami present was going to be a challenge. Before, they had simply averted their eyes while the other changed their own bodies clothes. Now Alyssa was going to have to do it himself...
O gosh... he thought slipping off his shorts. Leaving his boxers on, Alyssa pulled the bathing suit on over them. If any of Yami's friends asked, he would say it was an American style. Which was true so long as you left the boxer showing and the suit almost falling down.
And so adorned they headed for the pool. Luckily it was an indoor pool as outside the temperature hovered in the low 40's. As soon as they walked through the doors, Alyssa stopped short. In the US, when you went to the public pool any one with in 3 feet of you was considered invading your space. How quickly on forgets one is in another country until it slaps on in the face. Here in the pool it was like pouring marsh mallows in the mug before the hott chocolate- not much liquid made it in. In fact, Alyssa would be surprised if there was two feet of water in the pool if everyone stepped out. Alyssa quickly decided that he would not be going in the water today. Sitting in a pool chair, Alyssa took off his shirt and laid back as if to tan.
"Come on in Yami, the wata's fine! Ya know ya love it!" Joey called.
Mai also shouted to Alyssa, trying to coerce him to 'swim' in the mass of bodies. "It's not like you have a period"
Alyssa chuckled to herself and shook his head. Little did Mai know how wrong she was...
Several hours later, the gang was back in the game shop, waiting for 8 o clock to arrive. Alyssa napped on the couch while everyone chattered amongst themselves. The designated time arrived and the eight piled into two vans. Solomon drove the first van, and, after a shot scuffle, Mai drove the second.
Alyssa bounced excitedly in his seat- he couldn't wait to see Yami again. Sad as it was (not at all) Alyssa couldn't stand to be away from her love for 17 or so hours.
Tap your foot, check your watch, glance out the window... the routine developed as they always do when you're waiting for something.
Ecstatic, Alyssa jumped up to greet Yami. In their hug, Yami attempted to pick up Alyssa and swing him around like they would normally do in this situation. Unfortunately, due to Yami's current lack of muscle and body weight they ended up collapsed in a heap, ruining the tender moment. Not helping the situation was all of their friends standing around and laughing at them.
Blushing they stood up, brushed each other off (refusing to molest the other's body) and headed off to claim their baggage.
After going though customs and the like, the group piled into the vans (quite a tight squeeze with 12 people and luggage mind you) and headed home. Solomon flat out refused to let and of Yugi's friends stay, not even Ryou and Bakura, on the account of much needed rest. The group from Florida was grateful for this they practically collapsed from exhaustion when they set down their luggage.
"You'll sleep in the guest room," Grandpa directed Alyssa who was heading towards Yami's room. "Now that Yami has arrived and he only had one bed, it's the best place." Alyssa and Yami nodded, too tied to argue.
After tossing and turning restlessly for half an hour. Alyssa came to his decision. He sneaked past Solomon and quietly opened Yami's door.
"Are you awake," he whispered.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep either; not without you beside me."
"Ditto," Alyssa replied, sliding into bed next to Yami.
