Chapter Four:

A Day at the Beach

"Wow! It's so grand!" ,Yugi looked across the vast sands and waters. His large eyes lit up with delight at the sight of a shimmering sun and sweeping waves.

"Who's up for a game of volleyball?" ,Otogi held a ball up above his head with a small smerk as Yugi and Ryou cheered. Everyone was laughing and being happy, until Meric came behind Otogi and popped the ball with his millennium rod.

"Oh, how easy and sweet it is to kill your happiness." ,he smiled and walked away. Ryou started to sniffle a bit, Yugi had fountains of tears, and Otogi was left to deal with them; his only weapon was a popped ball.

Jonouchi's eyes flickered open, to a waking picture of Kaiba's drooling face. His gasped to see a fork and knife propped in each of Seto's hands. Kaiba then started to do his usual maniactic laugh as Jonouchi was pinned under him. Jounouchi screamed as his silhouette could be seen on the wall, being stabbed by Kaiba's shadow repeatedly. A little "Re-re-re!" jingle could be heard in the background.

Kaiba looked over at Jonouchi rolling in his sleep. He was busy sunbathing, so he just slapped his newspaper at Jonouchi's face, making the blonde go still in his slumber. Seto laid with sunglasses and suntan lotion, napping on a long beach chair. Mokuba was on the other side of him, healed of his bandages.

"Nii-sama... does... he have a coma?"

"... perhaps."

"What?"

"You gave him sleeping pills didn't you?" ,Mokuba looked agitated at Kaiba's strange manner.

"... maybe. Tiny steps, dear brother, tiny steps." ,Kaiba mumbled, opening the paper up again and snapping it into legible position.

"What is that suppose to mean?" ,Mokuba was scared to even ask. Before the conversation could continue though, a large horrid shadow loomed over the two brothers. It's darkness cast like a ferocious monster, bearing its sharp, hungry fangs. Mokuba looked up in terrible fright, as Kaiba looked up in surprise as well.

"Damn it Yami! Your hair is blocking the sun!" ,Kaiba growled.

"I thought it was a solar eclipse..." ,Mokuba wiped some sweat from his forehead. Yami turned to look angrily at the two, but before he walked away he saw Jonouchi.

"Is that a leash on his neck?" ,Yami asked in surprised.

"None of your business imbecile!" ,Kaiba scorned, "Now go do something stupid like you usually do... like... count socks or something!"

"That's Yugi!"

"Whatever, leave my presence vermin!"

"Yami what's going on here- ah Jonouchi!" ,Yugi noticed him instantly, "Give back my friend!"

"Not unless you pay up your debt!" ,Kaiba shooed the two off with a flick of his hand. Yugi turned to Yami dramatically.

"We have to save as much money as we ca..." ,Yugi then caught sight of Yami paying service to a hooker, "Yami!"

"What? Jonouchi will live!" ,Yami excused himself.

"Bah, yeah right." Mokuba mumbled, only to be snapped by Kaiba's newspaper.

"Ah, Yugi, would you like to go for a swim?" ,Ryou interrupted the mist of things.

"Yay!" ,the idea pleased Yugi as he ran towards the waters and fought into the cold waves. Ryou ran after him laughing.

"Hey Ryou! Come here!" ,Malic called him over to help him with a sand castle. Ryou came running to Malic, leaving Yugi alone in the water. Yugi watched from a distance. The castle got higher and higher as he splish splashed the water a little with himself. He then saw Meric come kick it down, causing Ryou to cry. Then Meric started to scold Malic on how to be evil. Yugi shrugged and piddled around in the wetness for a little while. Then a sharp point passed him in the water, catching his eye.

"What's that..." ,Yugi looked at it with question, but then it went under water, followed by some small bubbles, "Hm I wonder... AHHHHH!" Yugi was then grabbed at the legs, screaming bloody murder. He gurgled for dear life as blood emerged around him.

"Something's grabbing me!" ,Yugi screamed as Otogi dived into the water to rescue him. They needed a little more strength though, and that's when Jonouchi awoke.

"Huh? Yugi?" ,Jonouchi sat up. Kaiba was about to stab him with sleeping injection, but he jumped out of his seat, going towards the water.

"Ah damn it! Not friendship! gets me every time!" ,Kaiba whined.

"Wow, you don't sound like a stereotypical villain..." ,dinosaur sighed sarcastically passing by with an umbrella and towel to make a spot for himself.

Jonouchi leaped into the water as the water fizzed up into the air in slow motion. His pecks bounced slowly as the Baywatch music began to play. He sung his hair back and fourth like on a shampoo commercial as the water shook away as tiny drops in the air. Malic, Meric, and Ryou just watched Jonouchi run with slow motion into the water as Yugi was being pulled under.

When he finally got there Otogi and him pulled at the same time, only to see that the blood was not Yugi's. Instead, it was the blood of a strange man grabbing onto Yugi's legs to save himself from the water. He gripped tight with his eyes clenched shut, either out of fear or to withstand the pain it looked like he was in. Jonouchi and Otogi pulled both bodies to the shore, leaving a dark sand trail behind them. Yugi rolled over coughing and looked to see what it was that was holding him down.

"Big... cough Fish!" ,the man hacked some seaweed from his throat, pulling the one's that came halfway through like spaghetti. He looked up with his salted eyes to meet an interesting face. At first he wanted to shout out in surprise, thinking what he saw to be a mermaid, but he found it to have legs.

"Are... you okay?" ,Otogi asked, helping him up. Kajiki tripped on purpose just to grab onto Otogi as he was being helped to stand. He nodded while gapping for air.

"Yugi, you alright?" ,Jonouchi asked him, Yugi laughed and nodded, like nothing happened and everybody went on their happy way to eat ice-cream.

At the Ice-cream pallor...

"Life... is so... boring... snore."

"Get yourself back together Varon! Here come some customers!" ,Almelda slapped at him with the back of his hand.

"Right, right." ,Varon got up yawning, lifting his arms straight in the air to stretch.

" Holy crap! I want... UMMMM... I waaaaaaaant..." ,Malic pondered.

"Decide!" ,Meric hit him on the head harshly with a karate chop method.

"Okay I want... theuperduperultrachocolatefudgycocoabrowniechunkymegatriplethickdelux!"

"Ah damn it! I hate it when they order that!" ,Varon rolled his eyes, only to be pushed by Almelda towards the ice-cream makers in anger.

"Yes... I want... fish ice-cream!" ,Kajiki put one finger up delightfully.

"Um... we... don't... have that..." ,a sweat drop grew on Almelda's head.

Later...

Otogi instantly toppled onto his bed, beat from all the recent commotion. It was nice to have a room all to himself. No-one to annoy him, no-one to make noise... he was living the life again. That was until a knock came to his door.

"Ah that must be room service!" ,Otogi happily cheered as he skipped to the door. Opening it he met his gaze with a tall, blonde, muscle-clad man.

"Room service." ,Raphael said, oh so cheerily.

"Ah yes thank you." ,Otogi nodded letting him in to the room. Raphael walked in to the room with his rolly cart full of launder.

"I just need to do some towel replacements." ,Raphael mumbled as he walked into the bathroom. Otogi just walked over to his bed and lifted the remote, ready to watch some television.

He savored the sweet peace. That again, was until a scream came from the bathroom. He jumped with such brisk surprise that he almost fell sideways off the bed. Franticly he raced towards the bathroom, throwing the door open to see a shocking sight.

"Oooh, guess the room service got to me first. I was waiting for you to get in the shower for so long too." ,Bakura chuckled as he posed in a laid-back position in the bath-tub.

"Do you mind?" ,Otogi's arms went stiffly to his sides in anger, shaking his clutching fist, "Honestly!"

"I am being honest! I said I'd come and molest you in the night! Do you forget?" ,Bakura gave him a dumb look holding his palms up to the air.

"Is... this a bad time...?" ,Raphael asked, slowly backing out of the bathroom.

"It seems so, since little Mr. princess here is on his rag!" ,Bakura held a finger strictly at Otogi, "Its always that time of the month for people like you when I plot your demise! Can't I get any revenge around here?"

"Shut up and get out of my room!" ,Otogi protested.

"Or you'll do what, call room service?" ,Bakura sarcastically rolled his eyes. Raphael lowered his head feeling insulted and scratched behind his ear. Then commenced loud screaming. Raphael just nervously walked out of the room... slowly shutting the door and almost getting hit by a bar of soap.

"I hear nothing... I hear nothing... " ,he mumbled to himself, walking away.
