Little Bitty Pretty One

Chapter Six


Yugi smiled in the mirror once more to make sure he was good enough but in the midst of checking himself out he thought of something and his eyes went wide with horror. He ran out of the room and down to the lobby and walked up to Isis.

"Oh now, what's wrong?" She looked back at him as he came up behind her.

"I have a little problem." He gulped, "How um… how should I act at a formal dinner?" he blushed in embarrassment and hid his face in his hands.

"That's nothing to be ashamed of and it's easy to learn." She gave a reassuring smile and led him to the dinning hall. "Sit there and I will show you everything you need to know."

Yugi nodded and sat across from her at a small round table for two with a round white table cloth under a square red cloth, giving the table an elegant look. He then watched as Isis pulled up a rather large brown leather case and set it on the table. When she opened it wide his eyes widened in time as he saw all sorts of dinnerware.

"Okay, Yugi, first the forks." She pulled them out one by one naming them.


"So, who is this date you have for tomorrow?" Bakura inquired as he began to pack up his things alongside Atem.

"You'll just have to wait." He smirked, "But tonight we have a very important meeting with Mr. Solomon and his apprentice."

"Are you sure you should be having the meeting?"

"Relax, Bakura I know what I am doing. Just let me do my job." Atem smirked

"See, that's why I love you, you do your job very well, if I do say so myself." He stood up. "See you tomorrow then." He headed for the door and smiled back at him before leaving.

"Indeed." Atem spoke softly and looked at the clock; he would be right on time… if he left now. He got out of his chair and walked out quickly.


Atem entered the hotel and looked around of Yugi but saw no sign of him. He walked in a little further and scanned the lobby. And headed into the bar in the center of the casino and looked around pausing as the chair at the bar turned slightly to reveal Yugi, he stood up and walked over to him. "You're late."

Atem's eyes scanned the boy before him and his breathing stopped for a moment, "You are striking"

"Well I guess I can forgive you just this once." He blushed

"Shall we?" Atem bowed lightly and waited for Yugi to loop his arm with his before walking out of the casino and through the overpass that connected the Luxor to the Mandalay bay, A hotel with gold windows and a huge manmade beach.

"I thought the limo was out that door?" Yugi pointed behind him.

"We don't need the limo; the place we are going is at the top of THE hotel at the Mandalay bay."

"It's called THE hotel? That's a funny name?"

"Yes, well the club we are going to is called Mix." He smiled. "It's on a huge balcony that over looks the city, of course we will be sitting inside"

"Mix? I like that. Wait it's at the top, why are we going to that place if you are scared of heights"

"It's the best." He smirked. "Besides I think you'll like it." He pressed for an elevator and only waited a moment or two before getting in with Yugi. The doors closed and he looked Yugi over once more and smiled. "By the way, we are going to a different sort of club tomorrow for business mingling."

"Okay. Sounds fun." Yugi smiled up at him once the elevator door opened to reveal a huge room with golden pillars and gold everything, everywhere. Yugi walked in, in awe at the many beautifully dressed people and stopped at a velvet rope with Atem and looked up at the huge bouncer.

"Name." he said in a monotone voice.

"Atem." He smiled, "And Yugi is with me."

"Welcome, Mr. Atem." The bouncer pulled away the rope and let the two in. "Your party is not yet arrived."

"That's fine." Atem smiled and lead Yugi to a table in the middle of the club and pulled his chair out for him before sitting down himself. He watched Yugi as he played with his fingers. "Don't fidget."

Yugi paused and drummed his fingers on the table before him but stopped when Atem gave him a look. "Sorry, I am just nervous."

"Don't be, just be yourself. This meeting is just… well a formal argument. I like to get a taste of the competition before I get started."

"Oh."

"Well, Well, Well," Came an old rugged voice from behind them. Atem Stood up and smiled at the old man with grey tuffs of hair sticking out from a bandana that did little to maintain the hair and eyes that held many years of business experience. Oh this would be a great challenge.

"Welcome, Mr. Solomon." He smiled and looked at the man behind him, his black hair long and flowing, he wore dice earrings and had an interesting tattoo down over his right eye. "And Duke Devlin, A pleasure." Atem smiled. "Please sit down."

"And who is this?"

"Oh, forgive me this is Yugi he will only be joining us for dinner." Yugi stood up and looked down at him, "Order for me please. I have to… I'll be right back." he got up and walked to the men's room.

He looked in the mirror and panted, "I can't do this. I'll mess something up. I just know it."

"Well, I could have told you that." Yugi whirled around catching a glimpse of a man with long white hair and a silly Aura about him. But this man, Yugi knew, was far from silly.

"Pegasus." He gasped.

"Who did you have to screw to get the money to come here?" Pegasus laughed, "Well, that doesn't matter; if you have to money to come here then you have money to pay of Jounouchi boy's dept to me."

"What? I thought I left…"

"Oh, I guess you don't know. Jou asked me to be his pimp."

"What? No we made a promise to ourselves and each other that we wouldn't get a pimp. We say who, we say how much, and we say when."

"Not anymore, now I say when." Pegasus smirked. "I will let you enjoy dinner now but I want my pay in two days." He walked out of the bathroom leaving Yugi completely mortified
