LefthandedFreak: Hello's again. I decided to update sooner than I thought. Yay! But, alas, this chapter is sort of short.

Bakura: Not to mention bad.

LefthandedFreak: Yeah I know, this chapter didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but oh well.

Bakura: If I had it my way, you wouldn't even be in the writing business.

LefthandedFreak: Yeah, and if I had it my way you'd be chained in my room right now being tortured in very special ways by all the Bakura fn girls in the world, including me!

Bakura: (falls to ground twitching) God, the horror.

Fate may get feelings, you never know. I'm hoping my ending doesn't scare anyone away. I'm thinking of making a sequel but I'm not sure of what do with it. Ah well.

And I might be getting a job at a yogurt place. Of course, I forgot all my good references so I had to bang my head on the table a couple of times for my stupidity. Yay for Yami and Yugi! (I hade to repeat)

Dagger

Hello (echo, echo, echo) Blast, my mind is desolate too. (Cries) oh well, we could have lonely desolate minds together!

Yes, I actually winced myself a couple of times when I wrote the hand scene. (Clutches hand) I'm still flinching from that. I kind of thought that would be funny because my Health teacher was telling us some things about people without feelings in their hands and what they could do and not feel. That how that got into the story.

Anyways, I hope you guys like this new chapter. I'm sorry that I didn't wait for anyone else's review from last chapter but please do give me your feedback. I would really appreciate since your all (points to reviewers) going to help me figure out how I'm going to end it. I have five ideas and they all sound good to me. But I can't tell you yet. That would spoil everything. Read and Review!

"Joey, wake up"

"Nnn"

"Joey, come on now. Remember that you promised to meet Kaiba today". Joey's eyes opened slightly to Fate's smile.

"Ok…I'll get up", Joey slowly sat up, coughing loudly as he squinted into the sunlight. A week had passed since Yami and Yugi started seeing each other (still not knowing who they we're though), and Fate had decided to get back with Kaiba and Joey. Which really surprised Joey last night when she showed up out of the blue, in a cast (supposedly, she broke her arm in a grocery accident), to spend the night and see how Kaiba and him were doing.

Joey had spent half the night talking to her about what they had learned from each other, how both their lives were a bit hard when they grew up, and so on and so forth, and the other half trying to keep Fate from eating all the chocolate in the house. Fate seemed quite interested in how they spent their time with each other and frowned a bit upon some things.

Now she was persistent to get him up and ready to meet Kaiba for today's get together. Fate stood from the side of the bed and walked out of the room as Joey crawled out of bed, looking for something clean to wear. Sniffing a pair of jeans, Joey made his way to the closet and shuffled through a pile of shirts. No, that one wouldn't do, it hade a hole, and that one was a little too dark for such a hot day. Kaiba hated that one.

Sighing, he pulled on his jeans and headed down the stairs, shirtless. Fate sat in the kitchen, coffee in one hand and toast in the other. Looking up she chocked on a laugh as she saw Joey enter and head for the toaster.

"Your going out like that?" Fate chewed on her cooked toast as she watched him. Joey shook his head.

"No, I just didn't have a nice, clean, not too hot, shirt in my closet." Joey sighed as he pushed the lever on the toaster (AN: or, to Yami, fire demon) and sat down beside Fate. She studied him for a bit before smiling and reaching under the table and pulling out a bag.

"Here, wear this", Fate handed Joey a white and grey shirt. Joey looked at the shirt for a moment and then at Fate but she seemed suddenly interested in her coffee. How did she know that he wouldn't have a clean shirt?

"Oh, um thanks", Joey pulled the shirt on as he stood to get his toast from the toaster.

"So where are you to going today?"

"Um, not too sure. Kaiba has that one planned"

"Well where have you two been going to lately?" Fate took a sip of her coffee as she leaned back in her chair.

"Mostly just places. We basically just act like friends in public."

"Are you two embarrassed to be together?"

"No, it's not that. Kaiba just worried about his company and what the press will do if they find out that the head of a major company is gay"

"That couldn't do too much. At least, they shouldn't be able to anyways." Joey sat back down, piece of toast hanging from his mouth. "Then again, Kaiba has a good reason to dislike the press. I don't even like them. They have a way of twisting words around and making people hate you for no reason"

"Then Kaiba's right about hiding it"

"Not necessarily." Joey looked at her curiously but Fate just sipped on her coffee. "So, do you two ever go anywhere fun?"

"No, not really"

"Well, then do you have a good time" Joey shrugged.

"It depends. Sometimes I do, sometimes, it's a bore."

"Well that's not good", Joey glanced at the clock before jumping up.

"I better get going or I'll be late. I'll see you later Fate", Joey grabbed his shoes and headed out the door. Fate placed her coffee cup down and smiled.

"A lot sooner than you think"

Joey sighed as Kaiba and him walked down the street. It was going to be another boring date, he just knew it. Most of the times they were interrupted by Kaiba's cell ringing and him having to leave and fix something at work, ending the date for the evening. It was extremely annoying. They also didn't stand too close, either.

As they made their way down the street, Joey almost stopped when he saw a strange figure run behind a mailbox. Well, at least he thought he saw someone duck behind a mailbox.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I thought I saw something. Just me", Joey shrugged and smiled at Kaiba but he had already started off again. Looking back at the box, Joey was a little surprised to see Fate standing, waving at him. He waved back and started to walk again. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fate following.

What was she up to?

Joey sat down on a bench as Kaiba spoke to some business associates he had run into while they were out. Joey didn't mind however. Sitting certainly is better than this whole date thing. He almost rocketed out of his seat when Fate popped up behind him.

"Pssst!"

"What we're you trying to do give me a heart attack?"

"Not really. I just wanted to see how things were going."

"Boring, as always", Joey leaned his head back against the bench. "We never have any fun. I'm starting to wonder if this is a really good relationship to be in and…Fate, where'd you go?" Joey looked around until he spotted slender brown locks sneaking up on Kaiba, who just now finish his conversation. Joey wanted to look away but didn't dare turn his head.

Kaiba froze as he turned and saw Fate standing right behind him. She smiled before punching him in the arm and jumping back giggling.

"Tag, your it!" she pointed with her good arm a bit tauntingly at the stern C.E.O. Joey's mouth fell open.

"What's the meaning of this?" Kaiba wasn't in the mood for this weird behavior and since Fate was just that, he'd rather not be too close to her, even though she was the main reason Joey and him had gotten together.

Still, Fate hopped to and fro before hitting Kaiba again, "Tag, your it. That's the meaning!"

Kaiba was confused. What in the hell was she on about this time? Joey seemed just as lost as he was at the moment as well. Kaiba couldn't dwell in his own head too long though before Fate started up again.

"What, are you afraid that you can't catch me? Huh. Huh? Oh, I see, your scared to take down a crippled." she flashed Kaiba a glance of her cast before she hit him in the arm again. "Come on, come get me if you have any guts. Come on come on. Tag, your it, your it"

Oh, Kaiba was really starting to get aggravated. Fine, he'd tag her, and let her be happy. Reaching out to hit her, she jumped back and away from his arms length. "Haha, you missed". Leaning forward, Fate grabbed his hand and smiled, "Your it!"

Kaiba lunged at Fate but she managed to maneuver away from him. Again, he tried to get her, but was just a bit too slow. That's it! He ran head long at her before she jumped out of the way and ran in the other direction.

"Don't forget, Joey's playing too!"

"What!" Joey almost fell backwards off the bench as Kaiba tagged him on the arm. Joey was about to let it go before he saw the smug look of triumph on the CEO's face. Oh that's it!

"Your it Kaiba!" Joey jumped onto Kaiba's back before running off and away from him. It didn't take long for Kaiba to go after him. All the while, everyone in nice dress suits and apparel watched in confusion and amazement.

"What are they doing?" Kaiba tagged Joey.

"Jeez, get a room" Joey tackled Kaiba.

"Boy, they need to grow up" Kaiba tickled Joey.

"Nah, I don't think so" Fate smiled from the sidelines as she saw the to wrestle each other, laughing (AN: Kaiba can laugh? O.o). "Life is at its greatest when you be yourself."

LefthandedFreak: Ok, that was a very out of place chapter, don't you think?

Bakura: Why do you do things like that?

LefthandedFreak: I don't know… I felt like it I guess. I always thought it would be weird for Kaiba to play tag; I just wanted to write it down. I love little kid games. In fact, it's kind of based on what happened to me at school, except, we didn't get to continue our game of duck, duck, goose due to the fact that some really mean person pushed her chair out and told us to grow up. (Sniff) I have two more years of high school left before I'm thrown into the real world. Let me live!
