Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've busier than I thought. This chapter only came about as I was randomly browsing anime sites and came across one of the first anime I ever saw; Sailor Moon. You'll see how this is relevant. Suffice to say I was inspired and decided to grace you with another chapter of Love on Ice. That is if anyone's still reading after so long…
Love on Ice – Should Have Been More Specific
Yami, whose face was an interesting shade of red, peeked around the curtain secluding him and his fellow performers from the crowd. He was half-hoping that everyone had decided to leave, but if anything the crowd had increased. He sighed and felt a hand on his shoulder offering comfort. Yami shook the hand away and turned back to their smirking boss, dusting off his skirt as he did.

Yuugi half-awoke when he heard his mobile phone vibrating. It buzzed across the bedside table, and fell off onto his pillow. This woke him further and he managed to answer the phone by pressing as many buttons as he could find in his sleepy state.
"…'lo?" Yuugi mumbled, rubbing his eyes and checking the clock, all the while feeling something was missing.
"Hey, it's me, Jounouchi. I just got a call from Honda. You'll never guess where he is…and who he saw…" It was at this point Yuugi realised what was missing; Yami was no where in sight.
"You've got to see this, Seto and I will be at your house in five minutes."
-
Yami was wondering what was taking so long; everyone had been in costume for quite a while and yet the curtain had yet to rise. He was also still unsure just what it was he was expected to do. Pegasus had insisted he'd be fine and to just improvise or do what the other guys did.
There was a basic plot, and at first Yami had been lulled into a false sense of security of thinking that the acting was the only thing they'd be doing. He soon found out, while everyone else laughed, that no body was here just for the acting. Somewhat confused Yami decided to bear with it.
Finally Pegasus' voice announced the show would be starting, and the curtains gracefully swept aside to reveal five men…in leather skirts and tops. All dressed as members of the Sailor Senshi.
Yami's blush deepened as the crowd cheered and whistled to them, after the applause died down a little they began their little enactment.
The plot was bad, and the 'evil villain' that they were fighting against (the part played rather aptly by Pegasus himself) was a terrible actor, and was using a whip. All of the props got used (including the traffic cone) in most imaginative ways and soon they had 'vanquished' the evil. (Not before they had been held captive and after many panty shots).
Yami had been personally playfully whipped on the ass several times by the villain, and had ended up handcuffed to another senshi in a compromising position.
The music changed and the Sailor Senshi all started the musical number…Yami glanced at the senshi either side of him (of course he was Sailor Moon, and therefore in the centre) only to notice they had started to remove their clothing. Yami stared in alarm; the curtain hadn't gone back yet, they were going to get changed with the whole audience still watching!
It dawned on Yami that this was supposed to happen; as the whole crowd was cheering. The guy next to him asked if he needed a hand, and began to remove his skirt. This caused a round of applause from the male audience. Yami was about to push him away, and run off stage when a stack of 500 yen notes was thrust onto the stage.
Well…the job did pay well, and they did need the money…and it wasn't all bad…Soon Yami was undressing Sailor Mars, and earning a lot more money than he had ever imagined.

"Jounouchi-kun, Seto-kun, please slow down I can't walk as fast as you with these crutches."
"Sorry Yuug, but we're going to miss it if we don't hurry." They continued along the corridor and opened a pair of wooden doors, only to be greeted by a loud cheer and bright lights as the curtains closed.
"Damn, we missed it." Seto stared at the stage dejectedly; what he wouldn't have given to see the ex-pharaoh in an embarrassing situation such as this…
The three soon found the small round table where Otogi and Honda were laughing and chatting away over a couple of cocktails, they were greeted and soon Yuugi had a camera phone pressed into his hands.
"Yuugi-kun; he was awesome! Does he practice with you or something?" Jounouchi silenced his brunette friend and allowed Yuugi to watch the screen in peace. He whispered into Honda's ear.
"We didn't tell him just what Yami was doing…we wanted him to find out on his own." Honda nodded in understanding as they watched Yuugi's face; first amusement, which slowly melted into horror…then he began to blush and managed to stammer out:
"This isn't fair; Yami wouldn't even know what a strip club is! Pegasus must've taken advantage of his naïve nature and forced him to work here!" Otogi and Honda exchanged looks.
"That's what we thought; watch the ending though…he was really enjoying himself stripping that other guy down." Yuugi watched, Honda was right; Yami was winking seductively to the crowd. Yami was openly enjoying running his hands over another man's body…Yami was cheating on him.
"I don't want to see anymore, I can't believe he did this to me." Yuugi wiped at his eyes, just as the star of the show came out of the stage door exit and caught sight of the group. He paled considerably and rushed right over.
"Yuugi-chan…I…I didn't mean…"
"You didn't mean what? You didn't mean to dress up like that? You didn't mean to walk here and accept a job from Pegasus? You didn't mean to take your clothes off in front of an audience? You didn't mean to grope another guy? What part 'didn't you mean' to do, Yami?"
"I…was doing it for you. We need money, and I you said I should get a job…this was advertised as a job…" Yami was crying by now, too. He was used to Yuugi crying, but not because of him.
"Yami…this isn't exactly the kind of job that most people take." Yuugi began delicately; sensing that Yami didn't really understand that he'd done wrong. "I mean, there are other jobs that you could get…a shop assistant?" Yami frowned, obviously it wasn't glamorous enough. "A teacher?" Another glare. "A…um…" Yami tried a new tactic, and produced a thick wad of cash. Yuugi stopped mid sentence and stared in wonder.
"It does pay well, Yuugi-chan." Yuugi continued to stare, open mouthed.
"Um…wow…there must be 5000 yen there, Yami. Maybe, you could keep this job…just don't tell Grandpa, right? It is my fault, I suppose, I should have been more specific when asking you to get a job." Yami beamed and hugged the smaller boy, almost knocking him off his feet.
"Just one thing, Yami." Yami smiled up.
"Yes, aibou?"
"Could you please get changed before we leave, that leather doesn't even cover your ass."
To be Continued
Well, Yami has a job now…ahem. This could be interesting. I've got another plot twist coming up soon, now that I've written this chapter, and I'm trying to think of a way to end this; but I can't. I don't really want this story to ever end, Its one of my first and it holds a special place in my heart…
Thank you again for all the wonderful reviews, I got so many after posting chapter 20 that I've made it over 400! I still can't believe it…big hugs to: Dragon Master 03, Kuramarulez, Lefthandedfreak, Daikaio (Thanks for taking the time to review every chapter!), darkmistressofyaoi, Mandy925892002, Aishiteiru-Haka-Kipa, Lydia, Xamosy, Fiorae (Thanks for taking the time to review every chapter!), Kurai Ookami, Yami and Yugi's angel, Millenniumgrl126, Amarin Rose (Thanks again for the fantastic idea!), Rikainiel, hikarinotenshi15, Yamishadowcat22 (Thanks for the review, I'll email you soon, I've just been so busy, I'm sorry!), Saak-chan, Sansi, Sir Deranged Reindeer, Luthien-Ikari, inuyasha0001, Snow Angel, Misori Chan, dontmesswithYami, Yami Yuugi and Yana5.
On another note (I will be posting this in my profile as well), I'm considering a pen-name change. I thought I'd warn you before actually doing it; I'm so sick of having to add something to my name, my pseudonym is just plain Dagger, but won't let me have it as someone else has it. I'm changing it to my Final fantasy 11 name; Mayoki. Sorry for any confusion this will inevitably cause, but I'm sick of being Dagger5 or Dagger Maxwell.
Please review again!
