Yu-Gi-Oh Marching Band

When they got to the same buffet place they had gone to for breakfast, Ryo caught up with Ari and threw his arms around her in a friendly hug. Ari spun around, hugged him tighter, and kissed him. "We did it!"

Ryo smiled, and kissed her back. "We did, didn't we?"

Ari back off before they got caught. "Wonder if we made finals." She said, mostly to herself. "Don't think so, but I suppose it's possible." She muttered, dropping off her stuff and going to get food.

Rachel got some ribs and put her plate at her table with Ari, then went to get a drink. Kaiba moved next to her in line.

"Hey." He said, nudging her with his elbow. Rachel looked up. She still had blue and pink around her eyes.

"Hey." She said flatly, looking down. Kaiba started to say something when Bish-O-Man ran in.

"Mawhaha! Food and Forks and beer!" He said, spreading his arms like a bird while jumping up onto a table for all to see him (and for all to claw at their eyes). A bottle of Captain Morgan was in his hands, as well as the feather duster. Bish-O-Man began spinning in circles, and his arms were slack so they sort of "floated away" from his body as he spun. Finally, the clear rum bottle flew from his grasp and made its way towards Rachel's (A/n: She spelled my name Rachael gr), Ari's, Candie and Chenoa's table. The bottle crashed into the wall behind Candie and Chenoa, shattering into sharp and jagged daggers of lethal crystal. Chenoa felt a pain in the back of her head and neck. Instantly her hand flew to her head to assess possible damage. Feeling the warm red liquid like crimson silk trickle down her neck and back, anger ignited in an explosion of fury at that drunken bastard, Bish-O-Man. By that time policemen were brandishing their clubs. But Chenoa had cast them aside like rag dolls as she careened towards him. Customers cried out in terror as a very large dog- no, wolf- pure black in color, leapt as Bish-O-Man. Chenoa, now a wolf could hear the scream of pure fear struggle to escape his throat. So…this is what killing was like… The power of death was so intoxicating. Chenoa and Bish-O-Man crashed to the ground, and when the bastard hit the ground first, a splatter of blood spattered the hardwood floor and carpet, staining it like a red silk rug. The look of terror was still embedded in Yami Merik's face, and his mouth was agape in a silent screech. But Bish-O-Man did not stir, and Chenoa stood near, glaring with satisfaction at the life-less body, grinning as only a wolf could. She had gotten revenge, gotten rid of a nuisance that plagued her greatly, though it may not have looked it. She could taste the human's blood in her jaws, and it still dripped like saliva from them. She narrowed her now golden orbs, challenging any whom might draw near. Her bushy tail and hackles were raised defiantly as she made her present height of 3 ft tall, 5ft long seemingly bigger with her satisfied anger radiating about the restaurant. Chenoa then calmly stalked back to her table grinning again as her friend's faces. She sat down as her "human" self, then proceeded to dampen a napkin with a spare glass of water to tend to her minor injuries.

(What really happened)

Chenoa's hand curled around a knife as she watched Bish-O-Man dance on a table.

"Chenoa, are you okay?" Candie asked. Chenoa leapt off her chair towards Bish-O-Man, brandishing the knife. Rachel, Candie, and Ari held Chenoa back from the frightened Bish-O-Man. Bakura tried to pull the girls off Chenoa.

"Bakura!" Ryo yelled, trying to pull his Yami off the girls.

"No!" Bakura cried. "Bish-O-Bitch must not live!"

Ari held her own against Bakura's hands clawing at her, so much different than his hikari's. Something gave in the middle of the pile and everyone fell on top of everyone else. Unfortunately for Bakura, he landed on top of Chenoa. (Need I say more?). Ari flew back, losing her grip on Chenoa as she also fell. Ryo lost his grip on his Yami and was pitched forward, landing on his front. Or, to be more precise, Ari's front, as he had landed facedown on top of her, and she had landed on her back.

Neither teen had been expecting that turn of events. Nobody else had either.

Ryo and Ari stared at each other as Ari felt something came up slowly to press against her inner thigh. She had a pretty good idea of what it was, too. She couldn't deny that she liked him in that position and wouldn't mind letting him stay there longer… if this had been the time or the place. It was neither. Regrettably, with everyone staring at them as they both blushed furiously, then got up off each other. Neither was willing to go farther with everyone staring at them like that.

She knew what she would have liked to do. She would have liked to hold him, touch him, kiss him, and possibly do more…

Ryo walked up to her when everyone had faintly stopped staring. He wrapped his arms around her in a fairly hidden corner, and she did the same. "Sorry about that." He said, polite as always.

Ari shook her head as she leaned against him, making it so that her face rubbed into his chest. "It's okay." She said, "I just wish everyone hadn't stared like that."

Ryo also leaned in slightly. "They're not staring now." Ari leaned up and kissed him deeply, grateful that theirs was a hidden corner. He returned it closing his eyes, and bringing her in deeper. His grip on her was strong, unmoving, but gentle as the hand that was cupped around her head reached around to trace her jaw line. She shivered at his touch, and her hips unconsciously brought her waist forward to meet his forceful desire as she pressed closer to him.

They heard someone coming and sprang apart like startled rabbits. It was only Candie coming to tell them to get back on the bus.
