"Pleaseeee, big brother! It will be really, really fun. I promise!"
"No Mokuba, you can't have a party." Seto glanced down at his younger brother and he instantly knew it was a mistake. His brother was giving him the full blast puppy dog eyes, tears brimming at the corner of his eyes.
"B-but Seto, I really want to have a party and I would only invite a few people..." Mokuba was practically sobbing now, tears starting to run down his cherub-like cheeks. Seto could feel his resolve cracking.
The CEO sighed. "Fine, you can have your party."
"Yes! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!" Mokuba was instantly happy and dancing in place. "Oh yeah, I'm having a party, I'm having a party." Seto gave a small smile.
"Okay kid enough, go get ready for your party or whatever you need to do."
"Yes, Sir!" Mokuba saluted him then laughing he raced out of the room and up the stairs, off to plan his "big bash".
Seto sighed again. 'I can tell that this is going to be a disaster already… but at least Mokuba seemed happy.' Seto got up from his chair and strode out of the room and up to his office to get what little work he could get done before the party.
Mokuba was sitting on the couch in the living room practically bouncing from excitement. "What time is it big brother."
Seto looked up from the stock reports he was reading and rolled his eyes at his excited little brother. "It's only 6:00, Mokuba. They won't be here for an hour so calm down."
Mokuba blew out an exasperated breathe, "Seto, I'm so bored, won't you play with me?"
"Sorry kiddo, I don't have time to play. I have to finish this before the guests come." Seto looked back down at the report. Without looking up Seto picked up the coffee cup on the table next to him. "Who did you invite anyways?"
"Oh, just a couple of friends."
"These friends wouldn't happen to include Yugi and his group of losers would it?"
"Maybe…" Mokuba was using an annoying sing song voice and it was starting to tick Seto off.
"For your sake, I hope not."
Mokuba gulped at the icy tone of his brother's voice, but brushed it off without another thought.
"Come on Brother, they aren't that bad."
"Yes they are."
Mokuba rolled his eyes and went back to bouncing on the couch.
An hour passed and Mokuba was starting to get a little annoying.
"Mokuba! They will come when they come, now please be quiet."
"But brother, I can't w-." His complaint was cut short as the doorbell rang.
Without a word the raven haired youth leapt over the back of the couch and ran towards the entryway, opening the door with an exaggerated flourish he revealed Yugi, Yami, Joey, Marik, Malik, Ryou, Bakura and Tea.
"Where's Honda?" The raven haired youth asked.
Yugi smiled. "He couldn't make it because he got sick."
"Oh." Stepping back Mokuba swept out his arm to welcome them in. "Welcome to our humble home."
Marik snorted. "Humble my ass."
Bakura looked over at him, "You're right Marik your ass is humble."
"Bite me." The psycho replied.
"Don't push your sexual fantasies onto me."
Ignoring the now bickering pair Joey looked at Mokuba, "So Mokuba, what are we goin' to do at this "big bash" as ya' called it?"
"I was thinking we could do karaoke and spin the bottle."
Tea frowned. "How are we going to play spin the bottle, I'm the only girl…"
Marik, Malik, Bakura and Yami all snorted at her naiveté while Yugi and Ryou blushed. Joey just looked confused.
"Actually I was talking about playing a different way. You see I was thinking that we could spin the bottle and whoever it lands on has to sing a song, they can choose whether or not they want to sing with another person or not. Then we spin the bottle again and whoever it lands on gets to choose the song the person or people have to sing. The person who is picking can make it random, that's were they close their eyes and just pick a song."
Everyone stared at him blankly; Malik was the first to speak. "Could you repeat that shorty?"
Mokuba sighed. "It will explain itself as you play."
"Okay if you say so, kid."
Clapping his hands together Mokuba beamed. "Great! Okay the karaoke machine is in the game room, which is down the hall and to the right. You all head down there while I get my brother."
There was a general noise of agreement from the group, except for one.
"Why is tha' jerk comin' too!" Joey said outraged.
"It is his house Joey…" Yugi stated.
"I guess so." Joey grumbled. "Whatever."
Mokuba watched their backs as they filed out of the entry hall.
'Before I get Seto I have to get the very last guest.' Mokuba giggled and snuck down to the basement.
Seto was almost finished with all of his work for the night when he heard a soft knock on the doorframe. Looking up he saw his little brother standing in the doorway.
"Hey Seto! The guests are here."
"That's nice Mokuba." His voice sounded very distracted and Mokuba knew that it would take quite a bit of persuading to get Seto to come to the party.
"Come on Big Brother, it's time to greet your lovely guests." Mokuba was using the sweest voice he could muster.
"They aren't my guests they're yours."
"But Seto they all want you to come party with us!"
Setting down his last report Seto stood up out of his chair. "Okay Mokuba, I'll come with you."
'That was way easier then I thought it would be…' Turning on his heel Mokuba lead the way to the spacious game room where Bakura and Yami were currently trying to kill each other with pool sticks.
Seeing them Seto glared. "What the hell are you freaks doing!"
Glancing over at him while blocking a swing from Bakura, Yami smirked. "We're fighting, what does it look like?"
"Well stop, you're going to break my pool sticks."
"Fine." They both dropped the pool sticks down on the pool table in the middle of the room.
Walking over to the huge stereo system in the back of the room Mokuba turned on the microphone and speakers. Jumping on the stage Mokuba grabbed the mike off of its stand.
"Hello all and welcome to my wonderful party! I look forward to entertaining you tonight, but before that may I introduce my surprise guest, Noah!"
On queue, Noah walked into the room and stood next to the stage.
"How is he here Mokuba?" Seto's voice was a mixture between confusion and amazement.
"I brought him back to life!" the youngest Kaiba exclaimed.
"But… how?"
The next one to speak was Noah, "You do not want to know." He stated with a grimace.
The whole group stared at him in confusion for a moment and then they all settled into the idea.
"Whatever, lets just get this game started." Bakura was starting to get impatient with all this waiting and he didn't see why some brat should hold up their fun.
Mokuba cleared his throat and pulled a bottle out from behind his back. "Is everyone ready to start?"
Everyone nodded their heads and sat down on the floor in a circle leaving just enough room for Mokuba and Noah; Mokuba jumped back off the stage and grabbed Noah dragging him down to the floor next to him. Setting the bottle in the middle of the circle he gave a hard spin. Everyone's eyes followed the bottle until it eventually stopped on Tea.
"Okay! Tea, do you want to sing with another person or by yourself?" Mokuba asked.
Tea looked thoughtful for a second then decided. "I think I'll sing by myself…"
"Good! That should be good." He thought for a second, "Yep definitely good." Reaching out he spun the bottle again this time the spin was much shorter and landed on Yugi. "Wow that was lucky for Tea wasn't it. One of her best friends is picking her song. So Yugi what song do you choose?"
"Can I look through the songs?"
"Of course!"
Yugi lifted himself off of the floor and over to the CD rack. Looking through the CD's he saw the perfect song for Tea. Putting it in the player he went to sit back down. "Alright Tea just go up and press play and the song should start playing. If you don't know the lyrics then just look on the little screen on the side of the stage.
Tea stood up and walked up to the stage and climb up on it. She stood nervously with the mike in her hand. Reaching back she pressed the play button and the music started blasting through the speakers. 1
There's people talking
They talk about me
They know my name
They think they know everything
But they don't know anything
About me
Give me a dance floor
Give me a dj
Play me a record
Forget what they say
Cause I need to go
Need to getaway tonight
I put my makeup on a Saturday night
I try to make it happen
Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
It's never really easy but it's ok
Wake Up Wake Up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere I go
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah, tonight
The group was staring at Tea, she was good but she lacked the certain pizzazz that she needed in order to be great. Malik leaned over to Marik and started chatting about what she was doing wrong while singing and Bakura was tickling the back of Ryou's neck making the younger boy squirm. Yugi was watching Tea with pride while Yami was watching Yugi with a certain lustful gleam in his eye. Joey was staring blankly at Tea as if he had no idea why she was singing and Seto was grimacing at the stupidity of everyone at the party. Mokuba on the other hand was having the time of his life trying to poke Noah while the aqua-haired boy kept slapping his hand whenever he got close.
The city's restless
It's all around me
People in motion
Sick of all the same routines
And they need to go
They need to get away
Tonight
I put my makeup on a Saturday night
I try to make it happen
Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
It's never really easy but it's ok
Wake Up Wake Up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere I go
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah, tonight
People all around you
Everywhere that you go
People all around you
They don't really know you
Everybody watching like it's some kind of show
Everybody's watching
They don't really know you now
(They don't really know you)
(They don't really know you)
And forever
Wake Up Wake Up
(Wake Up Wake Up)
Wake Up Wake Up
(Wake Up Wake Up)
Wake Up Wake Up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere I go
Wake Up Wake Up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris maybe Tokyo
There's something going on anywhere
I go
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah, tonight
When the song ended everyone (except for Bakura, Marik and Seto) respectfully clapped and told Tea how good she had been. She blushed and sat back down in her spot in the circle.
"You were very good Tea, but now it's time for the next person!" Mokuba grabbed the bottle and did a spinning throw sending it skidding across the floor and stopping right in front of Yami. "You're up Yami; do you want to sing by yourself?"
"No, I want to sing a duet." He grabbed the bottle and spun it lightly. It spun for a few seconds and then stopped in front of the vulnerable looking Yugi. "Yes! Come on Yugi." He grabbed the smaller boy's hand and practically dragged him to the stage.
"Wait! We have to figure out who's going to choose your song." Mokuba said daintily spinning the bottle. It spun wobbly and finally landed on Joey. "So Joey, what's it gonna be?"
"I think I'll make it interesting and choose random."
"Okay, just get Tea's CD out of the player and pick one of the other CD's."
Joey stood and strode over to the player grabbed Tea's CD and stuffed it back into its case then onto the CD rack. Then sticking his hand out he randomly choose a CD with a dark blue and red case. Walking over to the player he placed the disk into it and pressed play for Yami.
The pointed haired teens both grabbed mikes and listened to the start of the song. 'Hey, I know this song…' the young pharaoh thought. "Hey Yugi, I'll sing the first part and you sing the second part, okay?"
"Sure Yami." So Yami started the song harshly sing into the mike. 2
In one moment I'm goin all the way.
I make my poetry everyday.
And I'm frozen, comin right on time I froze my mind with that serious rhyme.
And I'm open comin up inside you know my mind has got a grand design
and I'm flowin, goin all the way I make my point to be everyday come on.
Yami gave Yugi a quick queue and the younger boy looked down at the screen to see the lyrics. Then started singing a little less rough then Yami but still pretty harsh.
And I wanna take you down, but your soul cannot be found.
It doesn't matter much you see cause your disease is killing me.
And you know its only right cause it feels like paradise.
I know nothing is for free cause your disease is killing me.
At this point Yami decided to join back in so he and Yugi's voices rang through the room, echoing off of the walls.
My minds broken, I'm goin up in smoke if you breathe my toke I'm guaranteeing
you choke
and I'm chosen to testify to the masses wear dark glasses like the cops in
Texas.
All knowing its not a premonition kill the competition like a man on a mission
I'm blowin comin up inside like the Bee Gees cry I'm just stayin alive come on.
And I wanna take you down, but your soul cannot be found.
It doesn't matter much you see cause your disease is killing me.
And you know its only right cause it feels like paradise.
I know nothing is for free cause your disease is killing me.
Everyone was amazed at how well both of them could sing you might expect it from Yami but Yugi! Even Mokuba had stopped his incisive attempts at poking Noah to listen.
So now I'm finally goin down can I find my way back home now there's no one
else
around can I find my way back home.
Will I ever see the light.
Even though I'm fallin.
Will there ever be any peace for me.
Even though I'm falling.
Will there ever be any peace for me.
Even though I'm falling.
Will there ever be any peace for me.
At this point Yami decided again to let Yugi have the stage and stopped singing to hear the beautiful voice of his little hikari. Yugi was getting really into singing and didn't notice when Yami stopped.
And I wanna take you down, but your soul cannot be found.
It doesn't matter much you see cause your disease is killing me.
And you know its only right cause it feels like paradise.
I know nothing is for free cause your disease is killing me.
And I wanna take you down, but your soul cannot be found.
It doesn't matter much you see cause your disease is killing me.
And you know its only right cause it feels like paradise.
I know nothing is for free cause your disease is killing me.
When the song finally ended everyone, even Marik, Bakura and Seto started clapping. This caused Yugi to blush and look down at his shoes. Both of them walked off the stage and back over to the group sitting next to each other in the circle or rather Yugi sat, Yami plopped.
"This is going as good as I hoped it would!" Mokuba squealed spinning the bottle in front of him. "Who will be our next victim?" The bottle slowed and directed it's nozzle at Joey. "Lucky you Joey, you're up! Do want to sing alone?" asked the peppy raven haired boy.
"Nah' I think I'll take Yam's lead and do a duet."
"Cool. Off we go then." Spinning the poor bottle once again it slowed and pointed to… Seto!
"No! Can I take back my choice!" Joey yelped.
"Nope, you're stuck with your decision." Mokuba answered with a giggle.
"That's some bad luck there mate." Yami said with a smirk.
"So who's going to pick what we sing?" Seto's voice was emotionless, but Mokuba could tell he was nervous. This fact made the teens smile widen as he spun the bottle softly.
"Round and Round it goes where it stops only I know." Mokuba couldn't help but sing as the bottle slowed to a stop in front of none other than himself. "Told ya, I get to choose the song; I know the perfect song for you two!"
The youth jumped up and rushed to the stage grabbing Yami's CD, he crammed it into its case slamming it back onto the rack. Grabbing another case he ran back to the player and plopped the disk in.
"There we go! Come on guys get up here." The boy slid back off the stage and dropped down into the circle right on top of Noah. "Oops sorry Noah…"
"It's fine." Mokuba thought he was seeing things but he could have sworn that he saw Noah blushing.
Marik leaned in closer to the two and whispered sarcastically, "Smooooooth, squirt."
Seto and Joey proceeded to the stage and climbed onto it both of them grabbing mikes when they got up.
Mokuba remember something suddenly and said, "Hey Seto, you're singing the first part of the song and Joeys singing the second part, k?"
"Whatever." Reaching back he pressed the play button and listened to the begin tune. The song was catchy enough he guessed.
"I've never heard this song before." Tea said leaning in.
"Me neither." said Yugi, "Has anyone?" Everyone except Mokuba shook their heads.
"It's a good song, you'll all like it." Mokuba said in a whispered then turned to see his brother start singing.3
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Seto's voice was clear and he hit every note perfectly. Everyone in the circle was in heaven listening to the young CEO, when Yami finally started to listen to the lyrics the started snickering, while Yugi just blushed.
Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
Marik leaned over Noah and whispered to Mokuba, "You were right kid; this song does fits those two perfectly." The psychotic blond then started snickering along with Yami.
Seto stopped singing and it switched to Joey's uncertain voice, it wavered a bit but it was still a pleasure to hear. Even Seto had to admit that Joey was a good singer. The brunette could see the blush staining the blonde's cheeks crimson as he sang.
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
Joey stopped and it was Seto's turn again. Using his clear voice he emphasized his words with a hint of longing.
Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Joey started again with his voice a little more certain now that he only had to sing a short part and he tried to match the longing that Seto had put into his voice.
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know
Seto found it laughable that the mutt had tried to copy his voice. He had found it even more funny when he actually did it pretty well, taking over the song he began his part.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
Joey could feel his cheeks growing hotter as he sang his part to his greatest rival. Who was currently smirking at the position he was in.
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me
They were now switching off every line starting with Seto then Joey.
I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me
Seto started sing his part in the ending with ease and he knew that his voice sounded wonderful.
I hate everything about you
Joey ended the song on a perfect note as the music began to fade away.
Why do I love you
There was a roar of approval from the audience and Seto smirked at the attention. Joey grinned and leapt off the stage swaggering towards his spot. "Not bad Kaiba." He called back over his shoulder.
"Not so bad yourself." Seto muttered to himself as he stared at Joey's finely sculptured ass. Snapping out of his thoughts he gracefully stepped off of the stage and down into his spot.
"Okay, we're only going to do one more round so it's luck of the draw who gets to go. And now it's time to spinnnn!" He said while flicking the bottle, it turned round and round and round making them all a little bit dizzy before deciding to stop on Noah.
"Go Noah, you wanna sing alone or with another person?"
"I'll follow the crowd and sing with another person."
"Great! Let's see who the lucky person is going to be." Before Mokuba could reach the bottle Bakura grabbed it and gave it a strong push. "No fair, that's my job!" The youth cried.
"Sorry midget, couldn't resist."
The bottle was still spinning and it didn't look like it would stop any time soon so Malik stuck out his foot and kicked it sending it flying. The bottle rocketed across the floor and into Mokuba's lap.
Malik shrugged. "I guess you're it, shrimp. I'll pick your song since I kicked the bottle."
"Sure, what are you gonna choose?"
"Random."
"Awww man that's no fun! Oh well come on Noah lets go." He grabbed Noah's arm and yanked him up to the stage with Noah stumbling to stay up behind him.
Malik carefully got the CD out of the player and into its case then put it back on the rack. He stuck out his hand and grabbed a case. Putting the CD in to the player he hopped of the stage and went back to the circle and sat in Marick's lap. "Mokuba, you're doing the first part while Noah does the second part."
"Okay." The teen replied after he had successfully pulled Noah onto the stage.
Mokuba reached back and pressed play then got ready to sing. The beginning of the song started off smooth and he began to sing. 4
I am heaven sent
Don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted
What all the other boys all promised
Sorry I told
I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold
We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out
I wish I knew
I hope this song starts a craze.
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
with whoever they're there with
This is war
Mokuba's voice was perfect, plain and simple. He hit every note, he put the right emotions into his words and his singing voice was the complete opposite of his normal voice and everyone including Noah was stunned.
Every line is about who I don't wanna write about anymore.
I hope you come down with something
they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
And keeping quiet is hard
Cause you can't keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start
(at least pretend you didn't want to get caught)
Noah suddenly took over the tune in a rough voice that was a little bit over the top but it still sounded good.
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders, now throwing the fights
I just want to believe...I just want to believe...I just want to believe... in us
Noah's voice suddenly turned smooth and lovely, if a little pompous. This change actually made his voice sound great, not as good as Mokuba's and Seto's but still pretty damn good. As he went his voice got more and more arrogant, but it seemed to fit the lyrics.
Oh, we're so c-c-c-c- controversial
We are I am entirely smooth
We admit to the truth
We are I am the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds Handsome and smart
Ooh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body
that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching TV.
And from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh, it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh, so let it go
Without warning Noah's voice suddenly turned rough again. The only difference was this time he was trying to keep some of the pompous tone he had before.
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders, now throwing the fights
I just want to believe...I just want to believe...I just want to believe...
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders, now throwing the fights
I just want to believe...I just want to believe...I just want to believe…
Now there was as long guitar solo were everyone was starting to loosen up and bob their heads to the music when out of the blue Mokuba yelled, "SCREAMO!" Noah turned to stare at him only to see him beaming. Then the guitar solo ended and Mokuba started singing again. His part started of quiet but at the end he was screaming into the mike.
This is the grace only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the bend
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone
This is the rise and fall
Noah was gaping at Mokuba and he almost missed his queue, but he recover just in time with his rough pompous voice.
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders, now throwing the fights
I just want to believe...I just want to believe...I just want to believe...
We're concentrated on falling apart
We were contenders, now throwing the fights
I just want to believe...I just want to believe...I just want to believe...
By the time the music had faded away all of the Yami's plus Malik were rolling on the floor laughing their asses off. Marik wiped tears out of ears, "Oh kid that was priceless."
Yugi and Ryou looked confused and Joey was snickering, Seto was smirking. Of course his brothers would be good singers; Kaibas were good at everything after all.
"Why did you yell screamo?" Ryou asked more then a little confused.
Walking back to the circle Mokuba looked over at Ryou contemplating for a second then answered, "You noticed that the part of the song that I just sang ended by having me scream, right." Ryou nodded. "Well when you do that it's called screamo or more precisely music with screaming like that is called screamo. You get all of that?"
"Yeah I think so…"
They all huddled in their little circle until Tea spoke. This surprised everyone because she hadn't spoken for a while and they had forgotten that she was there. "I have to go you guys; I'll see you at school on Monday." With that said she stood up and walked out the door.
Yugi stared around looking at all the other games in the room. "What should we do now?"
TBC…maybe
1 Wake up by Hilary Duff
2Your disease by ZEROFINGERS
3I hate everything about you by Three Days Grace
4I forgive you, but my Tommy gun don't by Brand New
If any of you have the time you should really listen to these songs. They're really good in my opinion…
