Weirdo: Okay thank you Ari for my ONE! other review. Please continue

Kaiba: You should know that the only person Weirdo owns in this story is herself (Rachel).

Weirdo: Wait! Don't I own Bish-O-Man?

Kaiba: No, White Angel Chan does.

Weirdo: Oh yea I forgot. Please enjoy the show!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ari laughed at the sight of everyone chasing Bish-O-Man out into the freezing night air. Only a few people stayed behind, since not everyone had come in uniform. She was still bright red as got a thin tasteless "cheeseburger" from behind the counter and slowly ate it. She's wanted chicken, which was the only edible looking thing there, but they were all out of breast pieces.

"Hey Ryo," she said, as she threw away the three wrappers the burger came in. Ryo turned around from the game he was playing, and Ari didn't know if she was glad or not that he was still blushing, too.

"Hey Ari…How was the burger?"

"It was food," She shrugged. "Listen, thanks a lot for the money. I didn't realize how hungry I really was."

"Like I said, it was nothing." Ryo blushed again. "Honestly it was just a favor for a friend." He paused, then added. "A really good friend."

"Ryo?" Ari asked, confused.

"I…" He stopped again and looked at the floor. "Ari, I really like you." He said, coming slightly closer to her. "I mean really like you."

"I don't follow."

Ryo took her into his arms and held her tenderly against his warm chest with one hand. He cupped her jaw with the other, and brought her mouth to his in a passionate kiss.

At once a fire raced through Ari's body, starting from her mouth and flowing through her like a warm drink on a cold day. Almost unconsciously, she slid her left arm around Ryo's waist, the other going behind his head and under his hair. Her breathing became heavy, and a desire she'd never felt before tingled down the length of her lower spine.

All too soon, Ryo pulled back from their embrace, though he still held her. He great fully ran his hand along her cheek, tracing the side of her face with gentle fingers. His brown eyes were nervous yet happy, at the same time. He whispered her name, sending a thrill down Ari's spine. She was about to say his name back, but they were called into the main lobby to get their things. Ryo threaded his fingers through Ari's. "Sit with me?"

"I'd be too tempted." Ari replied, closing her eyes and leaning on him. "But yes I will."

"Good." Ryo said, wrapping his arms around her again, and walking with her into the lobby.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Rachel woke up, and found herself wrapped into someone's warm arms. She smiled and snuggled in closer, listening to the other person's pulse. Kaiba woke up once he felt Rachel move.

"You awake? We can get on the bus now." He whispered to her. Instantly, Rachel knew whose arms she was in. She quickly pushed his arm away, and tried to run out the door, but Kaiba had her by the hand.

"Let me go!" Rachel cried, straining to get away.

"Wait! Hear me out!" Kaiba begged, for probably the only time in his life.

"I listened to you once and told you it was over. Why can't you just let me go!?" She pushed at his hand, trying to get away. Kaiba let go, only to grab her arm and pull her to him. Rachel gave him an evil look, and tried to slap him. Kaiba caught her hand. He cupped her jaw and pulled her into a kiss. He felt her relax, as her hand slid up his arm.

"Perfect," Kaiba thought," She'll come back to me." Just as he thought those words, Rachel pushed him away and slapped him before running out the door.

"Wow, dissed twice in one day be the same girl." Joey smirked, "How do you do it?" Kaiba grimaced, and ran out after her.

"Rachel! Rachel, wait!" He called, running up to her. Rachel stood in the street with her arms crossed in front of her chest, not turning to look at him. "Rachel, please. Please tell me you'll take me back." He pleaded, putting a hand on her shoulder. Rachel jerked it away not turning to look.

"I gave you one chance, Kaiba-boy." Rachel replied coldly. "You blew it. You don't get another." She started walking toward a bus.

"Rachel!" Kaiba half-ran after her. "I know you still love me.

That kiss-" Rachel turned quickly around.

"That kiss meant nothing! Get it through that head of yours! I don't love you anymore. Heck! I don't even think I like you anymore. Good bye, Mister Kaiba!" With those last words, she slammed the bus door in his face, crushing with it what was left of his heart.

A Note From Ari

Yeah, you do laugh too much, but our chapters could stand to be a little longer. And for other people reading this, you can't honestly blame two anime-freak writers in band and color guard who were stranded at a gas station for 12 hours with a notebook and a pencil and almost no food for getting a little crazy. Now, REVIEW this! And thanks to Yugi for reviewing!
