Suzu: I'm back!
Jet: So?
Suzu: It's a good thing.
Jet: So you say.
Suzu: Don't make me slap you, Jet.
Jet: (taps his millennium flashlight)
Suzu: Damn you and your made up powers.
Jet: You just wish you thought of it before I did.
Mai: Give me back my favorite clothes!
Jet: Never. Even if I knew how to.
Joey: Take them away! Take them away!
Jet: SIT! (shines flashlight on Joey)
Joey: NO MY ABILITY TO MULTITASK! (looses balance and falls on face)
Jet:…..Wow, didn't expect that.
Suzu: Indeed.
Jet: Well, tell them the disclaimer.
Suzu: You do it.
Jet: No, (holds up flashlight) you.
Suzu: Fine. We don't own crap except for the stuff we made up. (turns to Jet) Wait until I get some power damnit.
Jet: Yea whatever. Now lets go put things in Joey's hands and watch him drop them when he tries to say something.
Suzu: Oh alright. ON WITH THE FIC!
Where were we? Ah yes, The Dreaded Basement of No Return!
"You sure it is safe down there?" Joey whimpered, somehow recovering from his near death from internal bleeding. This is one of those times where Serenity wasn't sure how her parents screwed up his masculinity, but it was almost like she had an older sister sometimes.
"Yeah, its fine," Yugi said while rolling his eyes. The crew looked down the steps, waiting for someone to take the first steps down. To everyone's surprise, Bakura turned and bowed to Tea, saying "Lady's first".
Tea turned and said, "Oh thank you Bakura! I knew we were good friends." She turned to descend the stairs. Bakura just smirked.
And then kicked her in the back, knocking her down the stairs.
Tea flew down the steps, hitting every third one. When her body finally hit the bottom, she definitely had head trauma and possible concussion, unconscious and most likely a few sprains and bruises. It happened so fast that no one reacted at first, but they eventually did.
They all smiled and laughed and then got on with their lives.
They went downstairs, making sure not to get Tea's blood on their shoes. When they got down there, what they saw almost blew their minds. There was a large plasma TV, expensive couches, a complete bar, a couple bedrooms down the hall, and little things that had the crew asking themselves what exactly happened down here.
Mai looked around one more time then asked, "Uh, Yugi? What does your grandfather use this room for?"
Yugi just frowned and said, "Usually when he has company over. Why?"
Tristan and Joey looked at each other when it finally clicked in their thick skulls. Then Joey turned to Yugi and said, "Yugi, pal, what kind of guests are we talking about here?"
Yugi turned to him and said, "Well, it is usually groups of people of about 2 to 6 people. Mostly young girls. Why?"
Everyone else stared at him with their mouths opened, not comprehending what Yugi just said. Everyone except Bakura and Marik, who were busy poking Tea's body with sticks.
"So wait. We are in a 60+ year old single grandfather's bachelor pad!" said Tristan. Everyone already figured it out, but hearing it out loud made it a realization, freaking everyone out even more. Lots of running and screaming and panicking soon followed.
"What the hell is all that noise!"
Everyone stopped spreading retard all over the place and then stared at the source of the voice. It was coming out of one of the bedrooms. When the door opened, everyone realized it was Yami Yugi.
"Awesome, another guest to the party," sneered Seto. Yami looked up and noticed the large group of friends and enemies standing in front of him. Then he turned to Seto.
"Seto Kaiba!" he said, and grabbed his deck and shoved it into his duel disk on his arm. Or at least he would of, if he had it on. When Yami looked down and realized that he did not have a duel disk on, and neither did Seto, he relaxed and said, "Sorry, natural reaction. So what is everyone doing here?" Everyone, however, just stared at him.
"What?"
"Yami."
"Yes, Yugi?"
"Please, put some pants on."
Yami looked down to see that he was, indeed, standing there with nothing but a shirt and his whitie tighties. Without saying a word, he turned around and went back into the room.
"It takes him a while to fully wake up and get going," explained Yugi.
Seto, Marik, and Bakura started to wonder how they lost to such an idiot.
"So what is he doing sleeping down here?" asked Duke, just because if he doesn't say anything, people will forget he is there. See, Ishizu is already a ghost to everyone else.
"He used to sleep with me, but it got complicated with two people sleeping on a twin bed every night, especially with his issues," said Yugi.
"What kind of problems?" asked Seto, kicking himself for not bringing a notepad and pen for this free tutoring of his biggest rival's weaknesses, no matter how petty they were. He would take what he could get, even if it was bed wetting or something that could break concentration.
"He would sometimes have dreams from his past, remembering little parts of it at a time. He forgets them in the morning, but that's the best guess I can make when it comes down to tombs, servants, and mummies. Plus, he snores a lot," explained Yugi.
"That doesn't sound so bad," said Marik, remembering his nightmares of dying repeatedly because he refused to be a guard protecting something or almost controlling the world when his plan backfired on him. He still hasn't made the connection to his daily life of evil. No one said Marik was a smart person.
"Well, it wasn't until it got physical. Apparently, he used to be a fighter. Or he liked to believe he was."
"Still doesn't sound all that bad," said Joey, who gets punched in the head at least 10 times a day.
"Well, it was that one morning that everything changed, when I woke up and my butt hurt. Apparently, sometimes he got bored and had his way with the female servants."
No one had anything to say to this one. Mai and Serenity both opened their mouths to speak, but wisely shut them. Tea was too busy waking up from her concussion and checking out the scenery to notice the conversation, and wouldn't have gotten the meaning behind Yugi's story if she did anyway. And Ishizu..….no one noticed or cared……moving on.
Everyone made themselves comfy, a little scared about their surroundings, but realizing that they might be stuck here for the night because the storm actually has been getting worse outside and no one had any intention in getting soaked and struck by lighting (You wimps. If I was immortal like the characters in cartoons, I would take advantage of it by doing the most dangerous things I could think of). Of course, they got bored quick. They are high school kids; they have an attention span of about 2 minutes.
"Well, now what?" said Joey.
"Yeah, you bastards woke me up from a good dream," said Yami, and everyone else shuttered.
"We could play a game," said Serenity. Most of the time, the group would ignore such a request because they were usually busy, you know, fighting for their souls and the fate of the entire world. But they had some free time, which usually they spent sitting by themselves starring at the ceiling.
"I'M THE KING OF GAMES!" Yami screamed so loud that everyone jumped.
"Yes, thanks for destroying a little more of my pride," Seto said, thinking about how much on an asshole Yami is when he's not saving humanity from evil.
"So what should we play?" Yugi said, trying to keep Yami from jumping out of his seat.
Serenity, knowing full well that any card, dice, and/or board game will be a huge competition between the main characters, and the minor characters like her would get their asses kicked. So, she picks a chick game, where there is no way to win or lose, but it is still considered a game. Kind of like cheerleading (which, while it does require skill, is not a sport by any means.)
"Let's play Truth-or-Dare," Serenity said. All the guys groaned, and all the girls grinned. "Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I am getting tired of see hundreds of duels."
"There are things other than dueling!" Yami said in shock.
"Yes, some of us have lives," said Mai.
"Like Mai's, which consists of selling sex appeal for miscellaneous items," said Joey, which got him a quick whack from Mai in the head, causing him to temporarily black out from his head injuries from earlier (See Chapter 1).
"I run a company worth more than all of your valuables combined and a salary that your parents would envy," said Seto with a smug grin. Everyone groaned, knowing that Seto was either trying to piss everyone off or he was trying to make everyone else feel worse about their pathetic lives. No one liked him enough to give his comment any reply.
"Soooo, OK. How do you play this "game"?" Yami asked.
"Simple. You pick someone, ask them "truth or dare", they pick either truth or dare, and then you either ask them a question that they have to answer truthfully, or a dare which they have to do," explained Serenity.
"A favorite at sleepovers," pitched in Tea.
Before he could stop himself, Tristan blurted out, "You have friends! (Notices the look on her face) You know, other than us?" Tea calm down, not realizing that Tristan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I have a lot of sleepovers with my stuffed animals. They are so much fun," said Tea. All the guys starred at her for about two seconds, trying to hold in the gut busting laughter that dwelled in all of them.
They failed horribly.
The guys ending up laughing so hard they all ended up having coughing fits. Tristan had to punch Joey in the back because he was laughing so hard no noise was coming out and it sounded like he started to choke. Therefore, there was now a big blood stain in the carpet. Yugi almost crapped himself.
"Meh, we'll clean it up tomorrow," said Joey.
Serenity turned around in a huff and said, "That's what you said about cleaning your room. About 6 months ago. Do you remember what color your carpet was?" Joey just shrugged, which basically meant "What rug?"
Well, are they going to start the game or have a coffee break and talk about their life story?
Jet: You will have to wait to find out.
Suzu: Once again, your timing sucks.
Jet: Shut up. I never asked for your opinion.
Suzu: No but you did ask for my help. It is constructive criticism.
Jet: It sounds like you are just being a pain in the ass.
Suzu: That's the beauty of being a critic.
Jet: Maybe, but you will never feel the beauty of having the power of darkness! I HAVE THE POWER!
Bakura: Actually, so do I.
Pegasus: And me.
Marik: Me, too.
Yami: Ditto.
Jet: See? It is the new cool thing nowadays.
Suzu: To have an item so powerful it could change the world as we know it and as an added bonus suck the souls out of living beings and cheat in card games?
Jet: Yes.
Yami: IT'S CALLED THE HEART OF THE CARDS!
Suzu: Sure whatever, call it what you want. But you will all bow to the power of (looks around and picks up the channel changer beside her) THE MILLENDIUM CLICKER. (insert Link-finds-an-item sound effect here. You know the dododoDOOO sound. The one that gets on your nerves within the first hour of the game.)
Jet: Great, so what does it do?
Suzu: (Remembering how Jet made shit up before) Well, it….uh…can control people in real life! Yes, TIVO is not just for sports and movies anymore.
Jet: Bullshit.
Suzu: Watch. (Points clicker at Tristan, who was walking around, and presses fast-forward)
Tristan suddenly picks up speed, and before he figures out what the hell just happened, he "walks" into a wall, probably fracturing a few bones.
Suzu: FREAKING AWESOME! I HAVE AN ALL POWERFUL CLICKER!
Seto: Actually it's a remote.
Suzu: No, it's a clicker.
Seto: It's a remote.
Suzu: CLICKER!
Seto: REMOTE!
Jet: Ok, as entertaining as this is, this conversation is getting retarded. (Shines flashlight on Seto).
Seto: NO, MY DRAMATIC AND AWESOME LOOKING CAPE! IT'S GONE!
Jet: The surprises just keep on coming. You think it would be his cards or his company that he's so proud of.
Suzu: But you must admit he does look more like a geek and a loser without that cape. The cape made the man, you could say.
Seto: Shut up I am the second best duelist in the world!
Jet: Ever hear the saying that second place is the first loser?
Seto:…..
Jet: Thought so. Until next time.
Suzu: No until next UPDATION!
Jet: I thought I told you to stop making up words.
Suzu: Never.
