A/N Thank you for all the reviews. Please keep them coming in so I know if you want me to keep it up. I had help with this one from my sister. Me and her rp part of this chapter out. In addition, from the information that I have, Yugi's birthday is on June 4th, which is the day before Seto and Joey's wedding. I did have some trouble with this chapter and I am afraid that it's not the best chapter that I have ever done. I'm also sorry for how short this one is. I do hope you like it. Well as I always say, on with the story.
Chapter 13 June the night before.
It was the night before the wedding and time for Joey's bachelor party. Joey knew they where going to a strip club. It seemed that Bakura and Malik had not learned from last time. Yes, the jail birds where now out. Joey came back the next day and bailed them all out. Seto was not too happy about having to spend the night but was glad to be out of there. Joey found it funny, as did Yugi and Ryou.
Joey shook his head as he remembered that night. Ryou looked over at him and saw the smile. "What's up?" Ryou asked Joey. "Oh nothing just remembering Seto's party or where it ended up." He said as Yami glared over at him. "You could have bailed us out that night."
"Nope. You know the saying do the crime do the time."
"You loved that, didn't you Yugi?"
"Yep." Yugi said with a smile as he looked over at Yami. They where all in a limo that Seto owned. Joey had talked him into letting them take it. Seto was not to happy about it but it was better then letting one of them drive one of his car or having to call him when they where all too drunk to drive back. Seto wondered if they where going to be able to pull this off. He hoped so. He did not want the call at three in the morning like Joey got from him.
They arrived at the club and looked around. It was some what crowded but that was ok because Bakura had a VIP room saved for them with their own strippers. How Bakura was able to work this out and pay for it was beyond all of them but they did not question him. They went to their room and sat down. Yugi and Joey were in the middle with Yami next to Yugi and Marik and Malik next to Yami. Ryou was next to Joey with Bakura next to him. They sat around chatting and drinking their beers as the lights went off as the ones on the stage dimmed
Joey sat back as two strippers came out and pulled both Joey and Yugi on stage. Yugi was confused, as was Joey. Yami started to smirk as he watched Yugi. "What's going on?" Both boys on stage asked as they where told to sit in the chairs on stage while Yami and Bakura just smirked. "You'll see," both spirits said.
Just then two cakes were brought out and placed in front of them. Yugi and Joey look at each other then the cakes. Some music started to play as the lights dimmed somemore. Then two arms come out of each cake that slowly pulled two strippers from it. Both boys got wide-eyed as they watched this. As the strippers start to dance, Joey turned red while Yugi blushed so bad he put a cherry to shame. Yugi looked over at Yami as he smiled. "Happy birthday, little one." He said. Yugi was shocked that Yami would have done this for him. Through their mind link Yugi said. I would have rather it been you then some stranger. this caused Yami to turn red. Bakura looked over at him and started to laugh. "Looks like someone might be getting something tonight." This caused Yami's blush to deepen even more. Bakura laughed as he watched Yami. Ryou pulled Bakura down and whispered in his ear. Yami started to chuckle as the great tomb robber started to blush himself. "Didn't know anything could cause you to blush." Yami said with a chuckle. Bakura just looked at Ryou as he smiled.
A few minutes later Joey was looking at his friends when he realized that Bakura and Ryou where missing. "Where are Ryou and Bakura?" He asked as he sat down with his friend and Yugi behind him. The others looked to where Bakura and Ryou were and shrugged. "Maybe they went off to have their own party." Malik said as he watched the stripers. Joey just shook his head as he enjoyed the rest of the party.
Later, when the party was over and everyone was wasted, they stumbled out and into the limo to go home. Joey, with the help of the butler stumbled inside. Seto was in the living room waiting up for Joey when he came in. He took him from the butler and carried him upstairs. Seto sat Joey down on the bed and shook his head. "Let me guess, you drank didn't you?" He asked as he helped him get dressed for bed.
"I only had a few beers."
"More like a dozen. You're wasted."
"No I'm not. I feel…." Joey covered is mouth as he rushed to the bathroom and threw up. "Oh ya you're fine Joey." Seto said in a deadpan voice as he rolled his eyes. "Are you even going to be able to handle tomorrow? We have one hell of a busy day. Not only do we have the wedding to rehearse and then we have graduation. We have to rehearse that then perform it." By this time Joey was done in the bathroom and had stumbled out and crashed onto the bed face down. Seto got back into bed and fell asleep. He would have pulled Joey close to him but he smelled like beer and Seto didn't feel like smelling it when he woke up in the morning. They did have a long day a head of them tomorrow.
Later that night Seto woke up from a nightmare. He had been having them for the last month. It seemed as the wedding drew closer he was having them. In them, he saw Joey dieing and there was nothing he could do about it. He could never see who the killer was as his face was always in the shadow, but he was always laughing as Joey laid in his arms dieing.
Seto shook his head as he looked over at Joey to see that he was still sleeping and very much alive. He let out a sigh as he lay back down in the bed. He laid his arm over his head as he thought about the dream. "Why do I keep dreaming this? This is more then just cold feet." He said in a whisper. He just hoped that it was just a nightmare and that his dream won't come true. He was very scared that it would. Something kept telling him that it would and he couldn't shake the feeling.
He watched as Joey came in and was taken upstairs. He smirked as he looked at the gun in the seat next to him. He had it all planed out. Erin, Seto's personal assistant, found the perfect place. A clear in the woods and someone to marry them. He drove his car to where the parking lot, got out, and walked to the clearing. The walk wasn't very long. Just a few feet into the woods.
Some of the workers that worked for Seto had the place looking nice and had set up a lot of stuff. There ware enough chairs for everyone that was coming and there was an arch way made of what look like gold for the two love birds to stand under while they said their vows. Also a tree nearby would hold him and give him cover. From there he had the perfect spot for what he had planned. He grinned as he looked the place over and could not wait for tomorrow to arrive. He had been here when they first started to set all this up. He waited until they where done and climbed the tree to make sure it would hold his weight and would keep him hidden as he laid down and pointed his gun. He was very happy with that tree. It did everything he wanted. "Oh, yes, Seto, my boy. You will pay for what you did to me and you'll pay with what you hold most dear to you." He said with a laugh as he walked back to his car and drove off. Tomorrow would be a very exciting day for everyone.
