WA: ……………..

Camera guy: OO

WA: Stop that! kicks him in his face Anyway, on with the story!

Len walked back and forth in his room. "What to do with that stupid girl?" he asked himself, "She could be a VERY good actress…or maybe she really IS stupid." He ran his hands through his hair. "Aye…no idea…she reminds me of Rini." He stood facing the window. He was home alone since Rini was at that stupid tournament of Kaiba's in hopes that Mahado will like her back. It was nice to finally be home alone…

"Having fun?"

Len spun around kind of startled. He faced to see Bakura sitting on the couch with a huge smirk.

"Ugh…what do you want?" Len snapped. So much for alone time…

Bakura now standing walked over to Len.

"Tonight was Kaiba's first night of his tournament," he said, "I say we should crash it together. We get the pharaoh's power. How about it? A kid like you could learn a thing or two from a person like me."

Len glared at Bakura.

"I am not after the pharaoh's power! I'm after a power even greater!" He replied. Bakura laughed, "Oh right! You're after that Atlantis power that you've been dreaming of for a while huh?" Len narrowed his eyes at Bakura, but Bakura still had that smug look on his face.

Len sighed, "What do you want? How do you plan for us to work together if we have different desires? And how do you plan on taking away the pharaoh's power..?" Bakura smirked wider, "I'm so glad you asked those questions…now let's talk this over with some tea." Len almost choked, "WH-What!" Bakura lost his smirk, "Ugh…Ryou's rubbing on me more than ever. Eh, never mind the friggin tea!" Len shrugged and went to get the tea anyway.

(At Kaiba Dome)

Rini looked around at the arena which they were currently walking through. It felt as though they really were outside. There was even a virtual Garbage can with Virtual Garbage.

'Seto-chan must've worked REALLY hard on this,' she thought to herself. As they passed a virtual building where her vision of the rest of the exhibits cleared up, she saw a huge statue of a Blue Eyes White Dragon, and just above its head were huge...

"BALLOONS!" Rini shrieked happily. Yugi stared at her. She ran up to Kokoro.

"Kokonutz, can I have a balloon?" She said, running to catch up with her friend.

"Okay..." Kokoro said, trying to remember if there were any real balloons.

"Arigato!" Rini said, glomping Kokoro to the floor.

"Ouch, this floor is SOLID stone Rini-chan!" Kokoro exclaimed. But Rini had run off.

Rini stared up at the 50-foot NOT virtual Dragon. It was exquisitely detailed, from its jewel eyes, to accented scales.

"How do I get to the balloons?" She said aloud. The Statue had seemed smaller from afar. She looked back down at its clawed feet. Someone had worked very hard to make each scale stand out...

Rini took a deep breath, and stretched her hands out to the nearest scale, and began to climb.

Almost there She thought. She had climbed up the statues broad neck, and carefully pulled herself up on to the top of its head.

"YAY!" She yelled, she reached her hand up for a large blue balloon. But, it was on the Virtual ceiling, and too high for Rini to reach. Rini glared at her shoes. All the way up here, and for nothing. She looked back up at the Starry-Blue balloon. Maybe if she jumped...

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Yugi turned their heads to where the screaming was coming from. To their horror they saw someone dropping off the Blue Eyes White Dragon in the center of the arena.

Rini landed with a THUD on her face. She picked herself up into a sitting position, blinking the stars out of her eyes, and feeling around for any injuries. She was a little winded, but she was fine other than that.

"Are you alright?" "What happened?" "How did you get up there!" "Crazy Kid, you could've seriously injured yourself!" a mixture of voices.

Rini still felt a little un-coordinated. She felt someone grab her hand.

"Rini!" It was Kokoro. "Rini say something!" Rini stood up and opened her mouth when she felt herself gripping something in her hand.

"BALLOON!" She showed Kokoro the balloon she had grabbed as she fell, in attempt to hold on to something.

"Rini, you could've-" she choked "You could've-" Kokoro looked wordlessly at her for a moment, then she hugged her and began to cry softly.

"Kokonut-chan!" Rini said, alarmed at her friend's tears, "It's nothing, I'm fine, see? It's okay!" But Kokoro just sobbed harder into her.

"Koko, you don't have to worry about me 'cuz I'M A TOUGH MONKEY!"

In spite of herself, Kokoro laughed. "Insane, baka Rini!" She let go of her. "C'mon, let's go look for that hotel."

"Okay!" Rini replied, skipping after her. Kokoro stared at her for a minute, then laughed again as she led the way back.

Atem and the rest of the gang waited outside of the hotel. (A/N: OMG! Kaiba DOES think of everything! 0.o;;) "Ah! C'mon! It doesn't take dat long to get a room for two!" Joey said as Yamu kissed over his neck leaving a mark of a hiccy on his neck.

(Rest of Gang: OO)

"Oh! Stop it!" Yugi shouted, "It's embarrassing to be around you two!"

"Yeah," Rini said playing with her balloon

"Can you two just wait until you get a room literally?" Mahado added.

Yugi gasped, "Oh my Ra! Mahado just said a joke!"

Atem rolled his eyes and looked at Joey and Yamu making out. He couldn't help but imagine it was him and Kokoro…

"Alright! I got us room!" Kokoro's voice came from behind them. Atem raised an eyebrow, "Us?" Kokoro lowered her face making the visor part of her hat half-way covering her eyes. "Yeah…I'm going to sleep here too. Anyway," she lifted her chin a bit, "Here's a room for two..." Joey snatched the key and him and Yamu ran to their room.

Kokoro stood there totally clueless. "What's with them?" she asked. "Eh…Somebody got Yamu drunk…" Atem answered and looked at Yugi. "Ohh…" Kokoro said some-what smiling, "Well…I got two more rooms for two people." Yugi shoved Mahado towards Rini making her crashed towards Kokoro. "AH!" Kokoro yelped being body slammed by Mahado and Rini. "Oh…I guess Rini and Mahado are rooming together!" Atem said and bend down to help Mahado to get off Rini then helped Kokoro up on her feet somewhat blushing. (A/N: Ooooooo…) He didn't need to help Rini for she burst up standing with happiness.

"Really! Mahado-sama wants to share the same room with me?" Rini said jumping up excitedly. Mahado looked at her ready to refuse but when he saw how happy she looked and excited he somehow stopped. "Um…sure…I guess I will for the night." He answered. "Domo arigato, Kokoro-chan," he said as he took the key from her. He walked away with Rini to their room.

"Well," Kokoro said facing both Atem and Yugi, "Looks like room 236 is you guys." She handed her key to Yugi, who took it. "Thanks!" Atem saw in Kokoro's hand there was one more key left. "Who's that one for?" he asked looking at the key. Kokoro lowered her head and answered, "It's for me."

"Huh? Why?" Yugi asked, "Don't they have rooms for staff members?"

"Yeah, they do..." Kokoro answered looking at the ground.

Atem frowned. He definitely knew something was wrong…

((Yugi..?)) Atem said through the mind link.

/Hm…? Yeah Atem/

((Can you take the one room instead?))

/…Wh-what! Why/

((Um…I just want to talk with Kokoro...she seems really sad.))

/..Really? I didn't take notice../

((Ugh…sometimes I wonder if you ARE my hikari…))

/Whatever! Just give me juicy details when you're both in the room…though I'll tell ya now, Kaiba's going to want your head more than ever/

Atem blushed glaring at Yugi.

((Wh-what! What are you talking about!))

/Oh please! You ARE my yami. I can tell how you feel and what you think. You have a crush on Kokoro/

Atem was ready to punch Yugi on the head.

/But whatever! I'll take the key…have fun/

It had been really quiet and Kokoro was just standing around as the two boys were just standing also quiet. Kokoro could've sworn she saw Atem blushed…she took notice that he did that when he helped her up a few minutes ago. She shook the idea that Atem liked her…there was no way! She knew he asked Yamu out to the dance…but she was with Joey. 'I wonder how Atem feels about that…?' She shrugged to herself.

"Well...G'night guys! Good luck on the tournament tomorrow." She finally spoke turning around.

"Hold up!" Yugi said stopping Kokoro, "Can I have the single room? Please?"

Kokoro raised her eyebrow. "Why?" she asked. Yugi snorted, "This guy snores like a bear!" "HEY!" Atem yelled, "I do NOT snore!" Yugi turned around to face Atem, "Oh please! Every time you fall asleep I feel like I'm sleeping next to a car or an airplane. You're going to distract me from dueling tomorrow!" Yugi turned and snatched the key out of Kokoro's hand. "Thank you! Good-night!" Yugi said walking towards his room already. Kokoro stood there totally clueless then faced Atem, "Um….I hope you don't mind bunking with me…" "Oh no," Atem answered, "Not at all. But what Yugi said about me snoring is so not true just letting you know!" Kokoro laughed, "Alright." Atem smiled then lifted an arm to Kokoro. "Want an escort?" he asked. Kokoro laughed quietly and shook her head, "It's only a room. No need to act like a gentleman." She walked leading Atem to their room.

(In Kaiba Tower)

Tastuya had just finished with his work. He had programmed the alarm system so that no one could enter Kaiba Tower. It was strange, but he couldn't help and noticed Kokoro wasn't answering the phone when he called to check up on her. It was either she was busy with those robotic animals he made for her or she was asleep. He shrugged. He felt like he hadn't seen his sister in a long time regardless that they started living in a house for about a year. He shook his head and headed towards his room that Kaiba provided him with in the Kaiba Tower. He fell hard on the bed lying on his stomach and soon he fell asleep. Little did he know that someone had shut off the alarm system he had just set up. (A/N: HAHA! xD)

(In Kaiba's Office (In the Kaiba Tower))

"You are in so much trouble Mokuba!" Seto said trying not to yell at him, "Especially since I'm not in a good mood now!"

"Why? 'Cause your girlfriend broke up with you?" Mokuba joked smiling but then Seto slammed his fist on the desk.

"Go to your staff member room!" Seto yelled as Mokuba grabbed his skateboard and scrambled towards the door almost tripping on his baggy pants. Seto ran a hand through his hair. What was going on? Why did that take effect what Mokuba said? Seto sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so harsh on the poor kid…I'll apologize to him tomorrow."

"Are you having girl-problems Seto Kaiba?" A familiar voice came from the door. Seto looked up and saw Bakura standing there. "You!" Seto said standing up nearly knocking over the chair he was sitting on.

"How'd you get pass my security?"

"Oh that," Bakura said walking closer, "Well of course that was an easy task. But never mind that I have better things to talk about…"

(In Yugi's room)

"So-o-o-o-o lonely……" Yugi said as he curled up in a ball. "And Atem hasn't mind link me at all…"

(A/N: Yeah! Who cares about you! HAHAHA! Gets run over by Yugi fan girls)

(In Mahado's and Rini's Room)

"And remember pharaoh," Mahado said talking into his cell, "If anything goes wrong don't hesitate to call me…I'm HAVE to be over-protective…sigh I'll leave you alone now….goodnight pharaoh…REMEMBER! Incase of a fire…" then he heard the click on the other line. "Pharaoh! Pharaoh!" Mahado panicked. "I'm sure he's fine Mahado-sama…" Rini said trying to calm him down, "He needs his rest for tomorrow." Mahado sighed but felt uneasy. Rini went to the bathroom to change into her pajamas.

(In Atem's and Kokoro's Room)

"Yes…I know!" Atem said talking to Mahado on his cell and struggling to open the door. "Alright…I WILL…sigh don't be so overly protective of me….Mahado! Go get some rest! Ugh…goodnight Mahado." Kokoro grabbed the key out Atem's hand and unlocked the door herself. "There." She said as she walked in. Atem followed her in and hung up on his cell didn't care what Mahado had to say next. Kokoro picked the bed nearest to the window and sat on it. "Well…I'm tired…" she said as she took off her hat. Atem took the other bed and lay down on his back. "Yeah," he said, "me too…"

The room was utterly silent for a few minutes until Atem broke the silence, "Hey, there's a refrigerator here!" He got up from his bed and walked towards the mini box right next to the television. Kokoro saw the remote for the TV and clicked it on.

"You know," she said as she was flipping through channels, "You can duel on the TV."

"Oh really?" Atem said as he pulled some sodas out, "How do you do that?"

"Oh," Kokoro said trying to figure it out herself, "I…guess you have to wait for another duelist to come on…?"

"Here," Atem said handing her a soda can.

"Oh thanks!" Kokoro said as she opened it. Atem sat on her bed looking at the screen seeing it was shaped like a dueling field.

"Can I see the remote?" he asked. Kokoro handed him the remote and he started to examine it. It was quiet for a few moments until Atem said, "Aha! I get it! It's just a simulator!" "Huh?" Kokoro said. "It's sort of like video game basically and it's more for just for fun." He answered, "Oh well…hoping there was more to that." He tossed the remote aside. Silence soon came and loomed around the room between the boy and the girl in the room until Atem broke the silence.

"So," he said clapping his hands together, "Um…how are you and Kai- I mean Seto." Kokoro turned away feeling tears swelling up and her chest burned.

"We're…okay." She answered quietly.

"Um...you sure?"

"…No…"

Atem turned to face her but saw her back was facing him and she pulled the hat back on her head. Atem frowned wanting her to look at him but he knew he shouldn't be so hostile and demanding. He got off the bed and went to her side and tried to look at her face but she lowered her face and the visor covers three-fourths of her face.

"What happened…?"

BOOM!

Both Kokoro and Atem jumped and looked at the doorway to see Mahado standing there.

"There you are!" He came in walking towards Atem, who slapped his forehead and looked like a kid who had been having a party with his parents and got caught.

"You know how long I've been looking for you? You MUST understand Pharaoh-sama there are enemies who are after your power! Remember all these awkward events happening?"

Atem ran a hand with his hair of frustration and answered a bit firmly, "I know Mahado, and I thank you for thinking about my...well-being...but as you can see clearly I am fine right now."

Mahado bowed lowly and full of respect to Atem.

"By the way" Kokoro started, "How did you find us? And how'd you break down the door...?" She pointed to the completely smitten door. Mahado looked at it and then looked ashamed then looked back at them. "I was detecting Pharaoh-sama by his sennen item. Once I detected its power I found Pharaoh-sama." Kokoro nodded meekly. Seto had always told her that the gang of friends she hung out with was a bunch of weirdoes and that she should be careful...but why should she even think about him? And besides she was tired of his ranting of "building-the-greatest-way-how-to-beat-Yugi-and-Atem-in-duel-mosnters-in-to-protect-the-Kaiba-name-and-how-to-reclaim-my-rightful-title-as-king-of-games". (A/N: ...WOW! that was long... )

"And the door?" Atem said reaching for a soda.

Mahado lowered his head and looked once more ashamed, "I...knocked it over by using the power of the sennen ring..." Atem sighed deeply, "It's alright Mahado. I'll fix it." Kokoro raised an eyebrow at Atem, "You know how to re-pair things?" Atem chuckled feeling a little bit happy he can impress Kokoro, stood up, walked towards the door and said, "Watch me!" He raised a hand and then a surge of wind came gushing into the room. The door pieces somehow lifted and fixed it self. Atem turned around to see the look at Kokoro's face but instead got hit on the head by Chirpy.

"Ah! Chirpy!" Kokoro ran up to Atem and Chirpy.

"Pharaoh-sama!" Mahado rushed over to Atem's side.

(Atem: TT ...stupid robotic bird...)

Just then at that moment they heard voices loudly talking outside in the hallway and then...CRASH! The door broke again.

"Mahado!" Rini's voice came through. It was followed by someone coughing then clearing his voice.

"Yami!" Yugi's voice came through and just then at that moment Atem wished everybody would just go to sleep.
