Chapter Three- When Yami's Sing (or Shriek)

(Impartial POV)

The group met up with Bakura, Tea, Ishizu, Malik, Yami, Mai and Serenity in the bar. There was a karaoke contest on at this bar, and it would start in about ten minutes. The bar was getting a little crowded.

Mai and Yugi began to talk, both had wicked smiles on their faces, and they were looking back at Tea and Yami.

Malik and Bakura just scowled. While Yami and Tea looked (understandably) extremely nervous.

The contest began, the group watched, animatedly, booing and clapping where appropriate. Malik tried to throw rotten fruit that he magiced up, but was unfortunately caught by Ishizu.

Apparently what she did to him was quiet painful, because everyone else around her rapidly squished up, as far away from her as possible, but Ishizu didn't mind that she had a lot of space around her all of a sudden.

(Malik's POV)

"Are you alright Malik?" asked Tea me, with concern in her big blue eyes.

Talk about finally, after all I had only been rolling around on the floor in 'agony' for ten minutes. (Sarcasm can never be overdone)

My 'agony' was suddenly forgotten, "I am fine now that someone cares," I said intensely staring at her and grabbing her hand, I pulled myself up so that we were face level.

Tea looked very confused; I can't say I blame her. And Bakura and Yami were giving me death glares. Well eyes aren't knives (Good thing too or I'd be long dead by now), so your fucking glares don't scare me! But they are kind of impressive...

I have to stop getting distracted and sidetracked like this!

I ignored them, and focused on the task at hand (no pun intended!), I softly kissed Tea's hand, and she blushed slightly, looking very confused.

The group was staring at us, even Bakura; he must think I am crazy, well HELLO! I have been at least partially insane for years! Even Ishizu is staring and not looking coolly unsurprised as usual, hehehe, I even shocked her! By Ra I am good!

No wait I am bad...

Bad, bad, bad...

Very bad infact, damn that saying, hmmm...

I wonder if you can say By Ra I am bad? Nah, it doesn't have quite the same ring.

Then Tea helped me up, and went to sit back beside Mai. She looked at me again, still puzzled.

I smirked at Yami and Bakura, telling them volumes without orally communicating anything.

Still I had liked the feel of her soft skin...

(AHHHHHHH!) The horror, I couldn't actually have a crush on little Miss Friendship could I?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Impartial POV)

Tea was still musing about Malik, but then she suddenly found herself shoved up on the stage by Mai, and Yami was shoved up by Yugi.

"Mai, what the hell? Don't you even think about it!" yelled Tea.

Mai just smirked; she had won this round of the Tea/Mai embarrassment war.

Hikari you are going to pay for this, how could you do this to me?sent Yami

/Very easily, hehehe/ replied Yugi

Everyone was watching the stage, very amused by the reluctant performers. Tea and Yami finally moved into the center of the stage and grabbed their microphones.

"They will pay for this," they both murmured, and then each looked at the other in shock at hearing the same words echoed from the other's lips.

Yami and Tea smiled at each other shyly; maybe this wouldn't be so bad...

Maybe not...

The music began to play, both went scarlet.

It was from Grease, the song "you're the one that I want"

Yugi and Mai were high fiveing and all of the group, except for (of course) Bakura and Malik, they couldn't even begin to suppress their laughter.

Yami opened his mouth to sing, promising himself to get sweet revenge on Yugi.

Yami actually wasn't bad as singers go, he was a little shaky, but he was beside his crush and in front of an audience, so this can be forgiven.

"I got chills
They're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying!" sang Yami

Tea began to sing, she had a soft, velvety voice, that made Yami go all weak kneed. She wasn't nervous at all; in fact she was having fun and even laughing.

"You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to do" she sang

Now the chorus, when they had to sing together, tricky.

"You're the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed" they both sang together, actually sounding pretty good and keeping in time with the music and each other.

Yami and Tea both began to go red, again, and the group couldn't stop laughing, even Malik and Bakura were converted from glaring at Yami to laughing with the group.

(Yami's POV)

If I ever get my hands on Yugi... (grrrrrrr)

He is a very dead hikari, puppy dog eyes or not! (insane laughter), okay slight exaggeration, I'll only throw him into a puddle or something if he uses the puppy dog eyes.

Actually maybe I won't do anything bad to him, (not permanent anyway); after all, this isn't too embarrassing. I am singing a love song with the girl of my dreams.

Things could be a whole lot worse.

I just wish that they would stop laughing.

"If you're filled
With affection
You're to shy to convey
Better take my direction
Feel your way" Tea sang.

I could have sworn she kept looking at me while she was singing that, she was flirting! By Ra, I am so a 'chick-magnet', whatever that strange phrase means...

Oh God... Tea just put her arm around my shoulder!

I think I am going to faint, and I don't need to be told that my face is redder than a tomato. The group is killing themselves with laughter this time, except for Malik and Bakura. I just maliciously smirk at them, they glare back. No one can out glare the 'king of games', and I had been afraid of losing this contest, NEVER! (Insane laughter)

I wonder if Tea would mind if I put my arm around her waist?...

/Why are you stalling? Make your move, put your arm around her waist or something/

I'm getting there

/Well hurry up the song is nearly over/

"I better shape up
'Cause you need a man" I sang

I was ready to make the biggest gamble of my life. I put my arm around Tea's waist, hesitantly.

(Tea's POV)

Oh my god! Yami just put his arm around my waist, (WAHOO!)

"I need a man
Who can keep me satisfied" I sang

"I better shape up
If I'm gonna prove" Yami sang, he had his eyes on me.

"You better prove
That my faith is justified" I sang, I was flirting, and so was he.

I am going to give Mai and Yugi a very big present.

"Are you sure" Yami sang.

"Yes I'm sure down deep inside" I responded. It felt like the song was just coming straight from the heart. I felt like Yami was telling me he likes me.

Wait, I think he does like me! I was so nervous about putting my arm around his shoulder, but I could have always used the friendship thing to back it up if my feelings are unreciprocated.

I am trying to stop my face from going red, and I think that I am a whole lot more successful than Yami, but still he does look very cute when he blushes.

Why are Bakura and Malik glaring at us like that? I really don't understand what is going on between those three.

If I was more naïve I would say that Bakura, Yami and Malik are all trying to get me to go out on a date with them, it is almost like a contest. But they wouldn't do that, there must be something else going on here.

I guess that Ryou and Ishizu have been getting stuck into Malik and Bakura about being nice to me... That is so sweet!

(Yugi's POV)

This is driving me insane; I have finally managed to get those two up on the stage singing the corniest of love songs and in each others arms. Why the hell are they so shy? And so blind? (sigh!) Isn't it obvious that they are totally in love with each other? The whole group knows this, so why can't they see it?...

"You're the one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, honey" they sang together.

They are really starting to annoy me because I have put months of effort into matchmaking.

Did they notice? NO.

Did they get closer? NO.

I even tried sending them both love letters supposedly from the other, which backfired because they saw me send the letters to them. So then they thought that I liked them, not that I was trying to set them up! And I had Yami and Tea going on to me for months about how they liked me, but not in that way. (Insane shriek to the heavens!)

I have almost begun to tear my hair out.

NOOOOOOO!

I will remain calm and I will not abuse my hair or take out my frustrations on it.

I WILL REMAIN CALM!

Look at them, they are just hugging, and they are bright red, what's the deal? Alright that is it, I have had enough, if Yami doesn't tell her soon I'll do it myself.

/Did you hear that Yami? If you don't tell Tea how you feel soon I'll do it for you/ (very evil, extremely insane laugh)

WHAT? You wouldn't, come on Yugi, you know I am just being cautious

/Well, don't you think that two years is a long way past cautious/

There was no reply, but on stage Yami just went slightly redder.

I smirked, that shut him up!

"The one that I want
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed" they sang together, the song was finished

The music was drawing to a close, damn! So close, and yet so bloody far away!

No, wait! Yami and Tea were looking at each other, hey now this is more like it. They had forgotten the crowd, and they only had eyes for each other...

This is it...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

How could they do this to me?

Tea just looks at Yami, and he looks back at her, embarrassed. They had caught the drunken comments of the man at the bar "So Kiss already!" This had ended the magical moment which the two had shared on stage.

That drunk had better pray that he'll never be left alone with me, he is on my death wish list which is steadily getting longer every time someone undoes one of my schemes.

No one appreciates the work of a hikari trying to get two very blind and thick people, one of whom is his yami, together. The world is an extremely unfair place. (Despairing cry to the Heavens!)

(Malik's POV)

Damn that pharaoh is good, if I don't pull up my socks he is going to win this contest for sure!

Good thing I have a plan, hehehe... the pharaoh is going down, girls and romance are two things that I am an expert on!

I grabbed Bakura, there was no time to explain my plan, I'd just have to hope that he'd go along with it. Bakura is mildly swearing, he was obviously very surprised, actually I am surprised too, what happened to all of that strength of his?

Ouch! That fucking bastard, why the hell is he pinching me? He pinches very hard, I wonder how Ryou puts up with it?

Metal note to self, next time avoid being pinched by Bakura.

OUCH! (he bloody did it again)

We have nearly reached the stage; the whole group is staring at us like we have gone mad. I think I must have...

I select the music; I shove a struggling Bakura up on stage and jump up behind him.

The music plays, it is from Grease again! This time the song is 'Grease lightning'

I can't believe that I am doing this, and all for a bet, but I am not going to wear a dress again!

I have already worn one six times...

Oh well a small consolation is that Bakura has worn one nine times. And all because of the bloody pharaoh, well I am not losing this time, YOU'RE GOING DOWN PHARAOH! (insane/evil laughter!)

"If you want to beat the pharaoh, then go along with this, or we are sunk," I whisper to my 'friend'. (for lack of a better word)

Understanding dawns on his face, what the hell did he think I was doing this for? Please don't tell me he still believes that I am totally insane (only partially, and I take pride in that!)? I guess some people never learn...

I can't believe this I am actually on a stage, with an albino tomb robber behind me who is still staring at me in absolute horror, and an audience who are all cracking up. And that I am actually going to sing, all those years of shower singing had better pay off! OR ELSE!

"Why this car is automatic

It's systematic

It's hydromatic

Why it's a grease lightning (Grease lightning)" I sang

I began to sing, hey I am not half bad, I am actually pretty good! Pretty damn good! (As a matter of fact) The group's jaws have all dropped to the floor, even Ishizu's, hehehe.

"We'll get some overhead lifters and four barrel quads

oh yeah" I sang

"Keep talking whoa keep talking" Bakura sang

Life just isn't fair, he is really good, did he have musical training? I bet he did the sneak and didn't tell me just so he could humiliate me like this and win this stupid contest, some people are so selfish!

"Fuel injection cutoffs and chrome plated rods oh yeah" I sang

"I'll get the money, i'll kill to get the money" Bakura sang

"With the four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door

You know that ain't no shit we'll be getting lots of tit

In Grease Lightning" I sang

"Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go" We sang

"Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile

(Grease lightning go grease lightning)

Go grease lightning you're coasting through the heat lap trial

(Grease lightning go grease lightning)

You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go" We sang

Okay, exaggerating again, maybe he is just a little better, but we do make a pretty good duo! The pharaoh is going to lose! (insane laugh)

(Ryou's POV)

Malik really surprised me, he is going all out to win this contest, his voice isn't too bad, he is pretty good in fact.

But Bakura is fantastic!

"We'll get some purple hued tailpipes and some thirty inch fins

oh yeah

We'll pound 'em in the dashboard and duel muffler twins

oh yeah

With new pistons, plugs and shocks I can get off my rocks

You know that I ain't bragging she's a real pussy wagon

Grease lightning" Bakura sang

Okay, now I am drooling, and I know it. It's just he is such a good singer and so bloody hot! Why the hell is he trying to seduce Tea and not me? He hates Tea, he just wants to beat the pharaoh, why must he do this to me? (Despairing cry to the Heavens)

I can guess why they are singing such a corny song, one; it is great for a duo, two; Malik is insane, and three; most girls love Grease.

I wonder what kind of an impression this will make on Tea?

"Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile

Grease lightning go grease lightning

Go grease lighting you're coasting through the heat lap trial

Grease lightning go grease lightning

You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning" They sang

The pharaoh is glaring at Bakura and Malik, who are taking no notice. Someone is jealous! Very jealous! (hehehe) I bet that if Ishizu hadn't forbidden sabotage those two crazy singers would be in the Shadow realm right now!

Tea is watching, she looks slightly curious, and she has a slight blush, but is she looking at Bakura or Malik?

Oh God, I think she is looking at both!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Calm down Ryou, just because she is blushing while she is looking at your boyfriend doesn't mean that she is going to take him away from you...

I AM GOING TO KILL HER, AFTER I KILL MALIK AND THE PHARAOH, AND BAKURA!

How dare he flirt with her while he is on the stage like that, I never said he could do that, he is MINE!

Alright slight exaggeration, I want him to be mine, how could he just magic up a flower and throw it to her from the stage, especially a red rose!

I have some 'issues' that I need to resolve with Bakura.

Malik is even worse though, he threw her his jacket, like he is some big rock star, then it turned into a big bouquet of flowers, what the hell is with that?...

I reckon he is seriously deluded.

The pharaoh is trying to kill Bakura and Malik, I don't think Tea has really noticed, she is paying far too much attention to the stage for both my and the pharaoh's liking.

Jesus the pharaoh is very strong; Tristan, Joey, Mai, Ishizu, Serenity and Yugi are only just holding him down...

Maybe I should help, I don't want him to hurt Bakura, and from the way he looks now, I think he will.

"Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile

Grease lightning go grease lightning

Go grease lighting you're coasting through the heat lap trial

Grease lightning go grease lightning

You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning" they sang

The song is nearly over; please hurry, before all hell (a.k.a. the pharaoh) breaks loose.

(Bakura's POV)

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe... (insane shriek)

"Lightning, lightning, lightning

Lightning, lightning, lightning

Lightning" We sang and finished

The pharaoh's girlfriend isn't paying him any attention, and his little friends are only just holding him back.

I am wildly smirking/gloating, and that is just pissing him off even more.

Maybe I shouldn't, what if he breaks loose? Uh oh...

WAIT! Ryou looks angry? (Not possible) Really angry? (Practically Impossible) What's the deal? Okay so maybe I threw her a flower, is he really that possessive? I guess so…

Where's the trust? Does he honestly think that I would throw him over for Tea? As if, he is way cuter than her...

But she is way prettier and hotter than he is...

Wait...

Why did I think that?

(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!) Do I have a crush on Tea? Oh God I even know her name, this is bad. Ryou is going to go nuts!...

If he finds out...

but who says he will? I won't tell...

Damn Tea has stopped staring at last, and she is helping her friends hold the pharaoh back. And now that she isn't looking at us he has calmed down.

"Well, at least you have done something useful, and stopped drooling over Malik and Bakura," commented Mai.

Tea's blushing, she is redder than a tomato, and the pharaoh, boy does he look mad!

"Still you and Yami did make a very cozy and cute couple when you were up there," teased Serenity

Wow and I thought that they were blushing before, now they are both blushing, a lot.

Malik is a dead man, not only did I just completely humiliate myself, because of him, but I also alienated my hikari, whom I think I love, but I am not entirely sure, and found out that I could have a crush on a girl whom I thought I hated.

Note to self; try and define love so that this dilemma doesn't happen again, also try and find out if it is possible for a person to be in love and have a crush at the same time.

And people on soap opera's think their lives are complicated? They have nothing on me! (groan) I am so unlucky, poor little me, I am just an ancient tomb robber. I can't take all of this in-depth emotion. (Pitiful wail!)

I hope I didn't disapoint. I'll update soon.
