DISC: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or anything related

Chapter 4

"That was clearly the best movie EVER." Anzu smiled, holding Yugi's arm, who was blushing slightly. Honda nodded in agreement.

"I typically don't like movies like that, but I got way into it. Can you belie-" He stopped suddenly, noticing that neither Yugi or Anzu were listening to him. There attention seemed elsewhere. "What is it?" He blinked and then he followed their gaze. He almost jumped with shock. Jounouchi was perched on a parking meter, somehow managing to keep his balance as he yelled at something the others couldn't see.

"What is he doing?!" Anzu gasped. "He's crazy!" Yugi pulled away from Anzu and ran up to his friend.

"Jounouchi-kun?" He asked, cautiously.

"How can you fly like that?" Jounouchi asked, excited. "I've been asking these angels to teach me, but they're too busy singing to answer. They're so pretty though…" He looked away, his expression turning dreamy. "WHY ARE YOU FLYING?!" He screamed angrily barely a second later.

"What's wrong with you?!" Yugi asked, hesitant to get any closer. The blonde began laughing as he flung himself into the air. He landed on his foot wrong and fell hard to the ground. Jounouchi cursed his luck. He thought he would catch one of those pretty angels, and they would take him to heaven. That would be lovely…

"Something's wrong with him…Honda what's wrong?" Anzu asked, frightened for the trembling boy on the ground.

"I don't know…" Honda lied. He had an idea, but he didn't wish to voice it. Jounouchi was lying on his back, reaching into the air, swaying his arms, watching them leave behind a trail. Honda crouched down in front of his face, and began talking to him- but his words only came out as ripples. Some were blue and some were purple.

"…I can see your sounds…" Jounouchi muttered, running his fingers over Honda's mouth, curious to see if it would make a different ripple.

"Jounouchi? Snap out of it." Honda held Jounouchi's hand in his own hand to keep it out of his mouth. The blond was sweating like crazy, and looked really messed up. He became afraid for his friend.

"What can we do?" Yugi asked.

"Well, he can't go to his home…and he can't come to my house like this. My parent's don't approve of…well I'd rather them not think Jounouchi is a bad kid. He's like family; I'd like that to not change." He looked at Yugi, hopefully, while ignoring Jounouchi's hands mauling his face.

"Yeah, I guess my place is best- if Grandpa asks we'll just tell him Jounouchi-kun is possessed by some weird ancient spirit, and he'll buy it." He cringed as Jounouchi rolled onto his side and vomited. "Jounouchi-kun…" He shook his head, sympathetically. Honda pulled Jounouchi into a sitting position, and rubbed his back.

"You gonna be ok man?" Honda asked too quietly for anyone to even hear. With Yugi's help he hoisted the brown eyed boy onto his back, and the group headed to Yugi's house. Anzu, using her cell phone, called her parents to let them know she wouldn't be coming home that night. Honda did the same, with much difficulty.

"Hey kaa-san…I wont be com- piss off Jounouchi!- I won't be coming home tonight." Honda swatted Jounouchi's hand away for the 7th time.

"Where are you going tonight?" His mother asked, concerned, hearing Honda snap at Jounouchi.

"Yugi's." Honda slapped Jounouchi's hand, when he tried to take the phone. Jounouchi was making weird noises, like he was an alien or something.

"What's that noise?"

"Nothing." Honda answered too quickly. "See ya!" He flipped the cell closed, and handed it back to Anzu. "Jounouchi, you are the BIGGEST idiot in the world." He shifted the boy on his back into a more comfortable position. This seemed to frighten the boy, because he suddenly clung to Honda like his life depended on it. Honda was struggling to breathe as Jounouchi's arms were strangling him.

"AH! AH! AH!" Jounouchi screamed. "It's pulling me down!" He cried. His eyes were shut tight, and he buried his head between his arm and Honda's neck. He peeked down towards the ground, where he saw Honda's shadow creeping up Honda's body, and it was grabbing his legs.

"What is?! LET GO!" Honda choked.

"Let me go you bastard!!!" Jounouchi jumped off Honda's back, and was on his hands and knees, slapping the pavement. "I'll kill you! Back! BACK! AAARG! Someone get me a rifle!"

"Oh my god, he's lost it." Anzu rubbed her temple. Yugi tried to calm down his friend, but ended up getting thrown aside.

"Dammit man! Get me a shoe! GIMME YOUR SHOE!" Jounouchi pounced on his friend's feet, knocking him to the ground, and then dragged the short boy while trying to pry his black shoe from his foot.

"Let him GO Jounouchi!" Anzu slapped him. He became confused, and fell onto the ground, trying to find the shadow monster that he assumed was the one that slapped him.

"Where is that beast? I'll kill it!" He rolled, as if he were trying to imitate a scene from a spy action movie, but it just looked like he was rolling like a drunk.

"Oh, are you teaching the mutt new tricks?" A very well known voice said from ahead of them. Kaiba was standing beside a very expensive looking car, with the door open, in the middle of the road. "I saw you losers, and I couldn't ignore the fact that Jounouchi was dragging Yugi." He seemed to feel the need to explain himself.

"Go away Kaiba." Honda threatened. "You're the LAST thing we need." Honda tried to stand in front of Jounouchi, blocking him from Kaiba's vision. He didn't want this used against his friend. He just knew something like this would happen. He slapped his forehead as Jounouchi crawled past him, his face very close to the ground, as if inspecting it.

Jounouchi knew there was something lurking beneath the surface. He could feel it, and hear its breathing. It suddenly popped up out of the ground, and Jounouchi pounced on it, trying to keep it from coming up and eating his friends.

Kaiba snickered. To him, Jounouchi looked like he was pretending to be a puppy-dog, sniffing on the ground, and pouncing on stupid little things, like bugs. He wished he had a camera, he wished he had other witnesses; he wished he could think of something REALLY smart to say.

"I don't even NEED to say anything. I don't need to say anything to degrade him further- he's doing it all by himself." He smirked. Jounouchi finally noticed that Kaiba was there, but he didn't see Kaiba. He saw a tall, dark, daemon creature, surrounded by an aura of blue-ish purple. His eyes were a flaming red, and his mouth was filled with jagged sharp teeth. His body seemed to be a black figure that could change shape. Everything that Kaiba said sounded slow, and garbled. Jounouchi just stared at him, wondering if he would come any closer.

"Don't stare at me you dog…" The large toothy mouth didn't move in unison with the words, like a poorly dubbed foreign film. Jounouchi became confused. Was this thing talking to him? He was on all fours like a dog, but…he shook his head. He was so confused and he felt sick. The ground didn't want to stay still anymore, and he didn't know what was going on. The underground things kept popping up, and taking bites out of his friends…Yugi was only half there now. The things from underground ate most of him already. The black daemon approached Jounouchi, and attacked him with a spiked chain thing.

"AH!" Jounouchi screamed, as it wrapped around his neck, strangling him. The demon said something, he couldn't understand, and he felt he was being dragged by the chain. "Get this leash off'a me!" Jounouchi cried, trying to pry it off, but it just cut his hands, and got tighter. He began to panic as he felt surrounded by the underground things, and these faceless people. The demon stood over his face.

"GET UP YOU MUTT…" It ordered.

In reality though, Kaiba had told Jounouchi to stop staring at him, which he didn't stop doing. Honda tried to pull Jounouchi to his feet, which was when Jounouchi started screaming about a leash, and Honda dragged him a foot or two, while trying to get his friend to stand. Kaiba became flustered and yelled at him to get up.

"He's messed up." Kaiba didn't find this funny anymore. "What drugs is he on?" He asked.

"Jounouchi-kun doesn't do drugs!" Yugi snapped.

"Don't be so ignorant Yugi. He's clearly tripping on something. Stop moving." He ordered the blonde, and forced Jounouchi to stand on just his knees, while he searched his pockets. Jounouchi poked Kaiba's head, like he was trying to make sure he was really there. "Stop poking me." Kaiba muttered, finding nothing in his front jean pockets, but a set of keys he tried the back pockets. There was nothing there but a wallet, which didn't have anything in it but some money and some pictures- mostly of his sister, one of his friends, and two of Mai. One picture of Mai was really quite sexy, and Kaiba was tempted to keep it- but he wasn't that shallow. He returned the wallet to Jounouchi's pocket, and became very frustrated with Jounouchi, who was now resting his head on the top of Kaiba's.

He ignored the other boy, as he began searching his denim jacket pockets, since his ripped up jeans had no other pockets for searching. He found a switch blade knife in one pocket, and showed it to the others, with a questioning look. Anzu looked surprised, Yugi seemed uncomfortable and Honda shrugged.

"He has a few enemies that want him dead. It's purely for defense- sides he never brings it out much." He replied like it was nothing. Kaiba continued searching his pockets, finding a pack of gum, a dirty marble he probably found today on the ground, and a piece of crinkled paper with a skull on it.

"This is...holy shit." He stood up, and showed Honda, figuring the other two wouldn't think it was anything more then a temporary tattoo.

"Hey, that's a- you think he's on acid?" Honda seemed a bit surprised.

"Well, it's not an unreasonable assumption." Kaiba glanced down at the boy, who was currently giving his pant leg the evil eye.

"We need to get him to Yugi's house, before the police or someone like that come along!" Anzu stepped in.

"You think? Kaiba, can we use your car? It's too hard to make him cooperate." Honda hoped Kaiba would help them out.

"You want me to let that crazy mutt in my car? I wouldn't allow him anywhere near my belongings if he was clearheaded, let alone when he has the potential to destroy it." Kaiba crossed his arms. Jounouchi suddenly snatched the blotter from Kaiba's hand at a remarkable speed. Kaiba tried to conceal that he had been startled by Jounouchi's action. "Fine, but you better keep him under control." Kaiba walked back to his car, not waiting for the others. He took his place in the driver's seat, and simply waited as the others struggled to get Jounouchi to get in the car. It was difficult because apparently the car door was an entrance to haunted cave- and everyone knows Jounouchi's irrational fear of ghosts and the paranormal.

"Just get in the car Jounouchi-kun, please!" Yugi tried to convince Jounouchi it was safe by entering first- of course he didn't take into account that Jounouchi would hallucinate that he was a ghost trying to escape and kill them all. Needless to say it took a great deal of time to get Jounouchi anywhere. It wasn't funny either- not like some of the odd times Jounouchi and Honda would go to a party and get completely drunk and stumble around trying to find their homes. This was actually kind of scary. All of them had heard horror stories about kids that jumped out of windows thinking they could fly, or beat someone to death. They just hoped they could keep Jounouchi under control…
