Yu-Gi-Oh Marching Band

regular Weirdo bold Ari italics Chenoa

Ari arranged her brunette/blond ponytail so that it wasn't in the way as she leaned back against Ryo, closing blue-Grey eyes as a soft moan of content escaped her throat. Ryo leaned in and kissed her temple, removing her glasses at the same time. Ari moaned again, pleasure welling up inside her as she wrapped an arm around him, lips riding up his neck. Even through his jeans, she could feel his want for her rising, pressing against her lower body, conveniently where she wanted him to be.

Ryo kissed her temple again, tracing her face again. Again, he whispered her name to her. Again, a desire Ari had never felt before tingled around the area between her legs where Ryo erection pressing into her.

"Please, some of us are still virgins. Spare our eyes." Kaiba said, Rachel half-lying on him.

"Guys, we're almost at the hotel. You can wait." Rachel called, scooting as close to Kaiba as she could.

"Virgins?" Bish-O-Man cried popping out of an overhead compartment. "Never! Not when Bish-O-Man's around!" The bus screeched to a halt and Bish-O-Man was left on the side of the road, as the bus drew closer to the city. "Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful!" he cried after the bus.

"Good riddance." Kaiba mumbled, looking down at Rachel sleeping on his chest. He laid his head on top of hers, and fell asleep.

Rachel stirred slightly, placing a hand on Kaiba's as dreams of him once again claimed her mind.

"Everyone! We're here!" Mr. Caster announced, walking onto the bus. The couples quickly split apart, before Mr. Caster caught them.

Ari sighed, not wanting to leave Ryo's side. But she knew that she had to, lest she risk the chance of not being able to see him for the rest of the trip. She and Rachel reluctantly took their original seats. Ryo and Ari threw a quick glance at each other across the aisle. Rachel looked up at the movie screen and saw Sister Act 2.

"Is Pirates over?" She asked innocently, causing Kaiba to burst out in laughter.

"Wow, I've never heard Kaiba actually laugh before." Joey mused aloud as everyone laughed at Kaiba as he wiped tears of laughter out of his eyes.

"What happened?" Mai asked waking up." I feel like I went to sleep with a llama. Oh." She said looking at Joey.

"What'd I do?" Rachel asked, looking around.

Ari also laughing, put a hand on Rachel's shoulder, and shook her head. "Rachel…" She was laughing so hard she couldn't finish her sentence. She just shook her head again, and turned back to the movie.

--- The hotel the next day---

Ari was one of the first ones in her room to be ready the morning of the competition. They got the wake up call at 6:30, and she was ready by 7:00. The butterflies were really getting to her, as many times, as she'd run their show.

"Hey Ari, you're lookin' kinda pale." Candie said.

"Butterflies?" Rachel asked putting on her guard uniform.

"Yeah." Ari sighed, sitting down on the bed.

"I have bats." Rachel pulled on her warm up and started putting on her make up. There was a knock on the door and Bish-O-Man ran in. He closed the door behind him as the girls screamed.

"What? What is it!?" Ryo cried opening the door and smacking Bish-O-Man with it.

"Thanks god." Ari sighed as Ryo poked Bish-O-Man with the door. All the boys ran up behind him brandishing their instrument cases.

Tristian, being the overactive male he is, was swinging his case so wildly that he accidentally hit himself over the head with it, knocking himself taking out Weevil, Rex, Pegasus and Duke on the way down.

"Great, now we have a hole in the alto section." Kaiba said, smacking his forehead with his palm.

Ryo nudged the unconscious forms with his foot. "I think they're knocked out." He said.

"Hehe…excellent." Yami Bakura said. Tapping his fingers together one after the other evilly. "I mean…oh what a shame. For-for Tristian. Bish-O-Bitch can stay like this forever as far as I'm concerned."

Chenoa came out of the bathroom putting her hair into a ponytail.

"Hey." Joey said attempting to put an arm about her waist. A pulsating vein appeared on her forehead. As she gritted her teeth, fangs extended from her canines. Joey found himself with a black eye and missing teeth.

"What?" Rachel turned around and saw the chaos as Chenoa walked out with her stuff. "Did someone die?" She put all her make up away and walked toward the door, stepping over Joey's unconscious form.

"I love your innocence, Rachel." Kaiba said beaming at her.

"Good morning to you, too." Rachel smiled, walking out the door.

"What went on here?" Mai asked, her guard bag over her shoulder.

"Chenoa." Rachel told her simply, walking down the hall with Ari. Ari sighed, looking back at the boys gathered around their door.

"So?" Rachel said, "You and Ryo together?"

"I guess so," Ari looked at the floor. "I told him I loved him. So, what's with you and Kaiba? You back together?"

"Hm.. I like him and all but I wouldn't say we're 'together.' Made up; yes. Together; no." Rachel looked down and started fidgeting with her bag strap.

"You still love him." Mai stated, getting in step with Rachel and Ari.

"What?" Rachel cried, blushing a deep red.

"Well, you do. I can tell." Mai added smugly. Rachel sighed, knowing Mai was right.
