Wow, it's been over a month since I last added anything to this. I have edited the first 7 chapters, and hence greatly decreased the length. (Damn but the author notes were long…) So I shall make the next chapters longer! Sound Fair? Good.
I wasn't really in the mood for writing fluff earlier, but I feel happier now, so here is the next chapter and I'm so sorry for the delay! Really sorry! Thank you to everyone who takes the time to review!
~*~Love on Ice~*~
"What are you going to do to him?" Yugi looked up nervously; the silver haired Yami had been pacing the living room for the better part of fifteen minutes apparently plotting.
"I…have no idea. But it involves you."
"Oh good! Because you see being used as a human shield was on my list of things to do before I'm twenty, so this works out perfectly!"
"A sarcastic hikari? Hn. Didn't think they existed…"
A crash was heard from the kitchen and a worried voice seemed to be asking if the other was alright. Bakura sighed and looked back at Yugi, the small light was sitting happily on the sofa, leg propped up. He appeared a little bored and was plucking at a rip in the sofa Bakura had made the day before.
Bakura sighed and scanned the room. He was almost certain that the crash from the other room had been Yami looking for ammunition, so he needed to find something to defend and attack with, fast.
He noted three pillows that he had grabbed, the ones Yami had thrown down the stairs at him, and a few cushions on the sofa. Yami had a few pillows and food from the kitchen. Bakura was beginning to regret his decision of hiding out in the living room.
He looked again at Yugi who was sitting smiling on the sofa. He turned around to see his hikari standing in the doorway; smile on his face. Just as he was about to say something to Ryou he felt something hit him hard on the back, and then heard the sound of giggling and fast moving.
A blur of magenta, gold and black passed before he realised that Yami and Ryou had stolen his hostage. More than a little miffed at this turn of events he decided that a new course of action was in order. He took out his mobile and rang up his good friends the Ishtars…
~*~
"It's been very quiet, hasn't it? What do you think he's up to?"
"I don't know, Yugi. I think this is the first time he's ever actually been quiet. Usually you can at least hear the sounds of him declaring to the world in general that he will destroy all life, gather the 7 Sennen items or buy some sugar-related product. Never silence though…"
Yami stood up, as the sound of the doorbell played through the house followed by cursing from Bakura about a 'pathetic girly doorbell sound'. He was referring to the very flowery, delicate music rather than the standard noise. Ryou's choice of course…
The kitchen door was opened and a blonde haired, tanned boy peeked his head round. As soon as it was identified as the hikari version he was pulled in by Ryou.
"Is Mariku here too?"
"Yeah, but Bakura has already gotten to him. Hey! What's a Yami doing in here?"
"It's okay, he's my Yami, he's fine."
"Hmm, okay. So what's the situation?"
Marik took a seat at the kitchen table where his fellow hikari's and Yami were situated. He took charge immediately, and set about giving them jobs such as gathering supplies.
While they worked they were treated to the musical delight of arguing from the living room…
~*~
"Baka! That will never work! They aren't that stupid!"
"This is so not fair, there are three of them against two of us, how are we supposed to win?"
"Maybe we should equal the ranks? We have a Yami mind-link, right?"
Bakura smirked evilly, remembering that yami's could communicate to one another in the same way that they did with their hikari counterparts.
~*~
Yami was standing at the sink filling water balloons with whipped cream when he first felt the familiar tingling sensation at the back of his mind. He turned to his hikari, about to ask what he wanted but noticed the small boy was engaged in conversation with the two blondes.
Slightly unnerved he went back to balloon filling.
[Yami you ass-hole answer me!]
Yami almost dropped the cream and balloon as he heard Bakura's demanding voice loud and clear in his head. Remembering the mind-link with the silver haired Yami he answered back in an irritated tone.
/What do you want Tomb Robber? I'm busy at the moment./
[Temper, temper! Mariku and I have devised a fantastic scheme to unleash on you all, and we could use a hand in putting our brilliant plan into action.]
{Listen, pharaoh, we're stuck. We have no idea what to do, you're about to attack us and we're totally outnumbered. HELP US THE %$^& OUT!!!}
Yami grinned; it was fun to hear a desperate Mariku pleading for help. Deciding to drag this out further he filled another balloon.
/And what if I don't help?/
[Just help us! We're all Yami's, we should look out for one another!]
/And when have you ever looked out for me? Was it when you were trapping my hikari and his friends in the shadow realm at Duellist Kingdom? Or perhaps the time that you put green hair dye into my shampoo?/
[Er, yeah, well…I was just teasing you! Come on, just help us alright?]
/Well…/
Yami looked around, the three hikari's seemed to be okay, and the Yami's were pretty incompetent. But when Yugi turned around and gave him a heart melting smile he knew he could never betray his little tenshi, could he?
/…alright. I'm in. What do you want me to do?/
[Well, you're already on the inside, tell us what they're planning.]
/Water balloons filled with whipped cream and an assortment of other things, we have a huge stack of pillows and other throwable items…/
[We need you in here, come on in and bring a few balloons if you can.]
Yami discreetly hid a few filled ones under his jacket as he made his way to the door.
"Where are you going Yami?"
Oh god, Yugi was looking up at Yami with those should-be-illegal-they-are-so-kawaii puppy dog eyes. Bright amethyst and shining brightly, accompanied with an equally bright smile and his head tilted naively to the side.
It was time to switch sides again.
~*~
"What is taking that baka so long?"
"Maybe he's decided not to join us; hikari's can be damned persuasive when they want to be."
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late!"
The two blondes eyed Yami suspiciously and he could feel sweat on his forehead. He produced three small balloons filled with cream and placed them on the table.
"I think they're going to attack us soon, so we'd better get prepared."
"Yeah, okay. We have a few pillows over here, and we also – dammit! They're here!"
All three looked to the doorway where Ryou and Marik were positioned ready to throw balloons. Yugi soon followed, even though he was restricted by the crutches. Mariku and Bakura were soon wearing whipped cream, and looking delicious to their respective hikari's.
Yami giggled as an all out war broke out, the hikari's had more balloons, and Bakura (being King of Thieves) started to steal some of theirs. Yami wasn't really participating much, since he was technically still on the hikari's side but it would look strange if he started attacking the other Yami's.
Until a balloon aimed for Mariku hit him straight on the head, smearing sticky white cream all over his freshly washed, freshly spiked hair.
"Oops, sorry koi!"
Yami wiped cream from his eye, and glared at Yugi.
"Bakura, give me a balloon and a pillow. NOW."
