So, it was a 'slight' exaggeration when we said that everbody was too tired to hate each other. Infact, due to their lack of sleep they were, 'in the obnoxious words of tea', Gwumpy Gusses...most of them.
Ryou sighed. He was sitting on the couch in the living room thinking to his yami, he was having very much fun.
Why can't everybody just calm down and sit in a circle? He asked Bakura.
Must kill pharaoh! Must kill pharaoh! Chanted Bakura
If they weren't so angry they might actually have fun, Ryou continued.
MUST KILL PHARAOH! MUST KILL PHARAOH! MUST KILL-
Yami! Ryou said, in his thoughts, Aren't you listening to me?
MUST KILL PHARAOH! MUST KILL- Sorry Ryou, were you saying something? Bakura asked, though the tone of his voice strongly suggested that he didn't actually care.
I think that we should get their attention and have them sit in a-
Let me guess, a circle? Bakura asked, Jeeze Ryou, maybe if you diversified a little people might actually like us.
Everybody loves the circle game! Ryou replied, They tell me so everytime!
You've only completed the circle game once, Bakura pointed out, And they were only being polite.
Fine, Said Ryou in a defeated thought voice, What would you like to play?
Oh the ideas were overwhelming. Bakura chuckled evilly as all of the plans came to mind, but one in particular stood out. I think that we should murder yugi and pharaoh and steal their millennium item!
Ryou frowned, that didn't seem nice at all. But Bakura never got to choose the games, maybe he could go along with his Yami's idea for once. Alright then, He said, but lets not make it too violent, alright? I don't want to have those nightmares again!
That had nothing to do with nightmares, I've told you this already! Bakura huffed, Besides, your bladder was weak back then! And you can always wear a dia-
Never mind! Ryou thought hurriedly, Just explain the game.
I did, Bakura said.
But you made it sound as if we're actually going to kill Yugi and his Yami and take their millenium item.
That was the general idea. Bakura sighed.
Oh, Ryou shrugged, I thought it was tag or something.
Well its not.
Ryou nodded, paused and then added Are you sure?
Yes.
There was a pause
Are you really sure?
Yes.
Are you really, really-
Yes! I'm sure! Okay? Can we just get on with the plan- I mean game?
Okay.
So Ryou and his yami went off to kill Yugi and his yami. But when they found Pharoah they found that Yugi was nowhere to be seen. "How thick are you?" Asked Pharaoh, "Yugi's soul was taken! Remember?"
"Oh yeah," Said Ryou, "Me and my Yami were going to play a game where we killed you and took your millenium puzzle, but now I guess we can't because it would be uneven and-"
"You idiot!" Said Bakura, "You weren't supposed to tell him!"
"This was Bakura's idea, wasn't it?" Asked Pharaoh.
Ryou nodded.
"Well I have a better game!" Said Pharaoh, "Simple enough for even you to comprehend. Its called Bakura and Pharaoh have a duel in the shadow realm while Ryou goes and sits in the living room."
"That sounds fun!" Said Ryou, and went to go and sit down. Don't ask how he got separated from his Yami to do this because truthfully we don't know...or care.
"Who ever wins gets the other person's millenium item!" Said Bakura.
"You're on," Said Pharaoh, but just then something very strange happened. Everything went dark, a spot light showed on Pharaoh who grew about a foot shorter. Then it got light again and a dorky voice said "Lets duel!"
"What the-" Bakura started, "Yugi, I thought you were dead!"
Yugi sighed and rolled his eyes, "Come on, didn't I explain this before? Nobody can actually DIE in this story."
"But this is between me and Pharaoh! Bring him back!"
"Now now," Said Yugi, "I think that our differences should be settled differently. With out the fighting."
"Wimp," Bakura remarked snidely. Yugi ignored this fairly well.
"You sound like Ryou," Bakura added. Yugi just clenched his fists and pretending not to hear.
Bakura leaned towards his ear and whispered, "You sound like Tea-"
"Thats it!" Yugi shouted, "Pharaoh, kick this guy's aelevator music plays loudly and obnoxiously until the profanity ends," There was a burst of light, a "Yu-Gi-OH!" and then Pharaoh was back.
"Now its time to duel!" Bakura laughed.
"Lets duel," Pharoah said.
"Yeah, thats what I just said," Bakura remarked with annoyance.
"Sorry, its tradition," Pharaoh sighed.
"But it doesn't make any sense!" Ryou's Yami growled.
"What?" Atem asked.
"Not this again!" Bakura was getting rather confused.
"Yes: Pharaoh said, out of the blue. Bakura ran off and nobody dueled. Unfortunately for Pharaoh, Bakura still managed to swipe the Millennium puzzle.
Mai, who we haven't heard a lot about lately, was sitting in a big cushy chair, painting her nails a sinister black while watching TV. The television was just about to tell her who had gotten voted off of the island when Valon sat down infront of her.
"Hey!" She said, slapping the side of his head, "What'd you do that for?"
"Ow! That Hurt, Mai," he said, rubbing the side of his head.
"Good," She replied, "it should, seeing as how I just missed the name of the person who got voted off!"
"It was-"
"Forget it," She said, sighing and rolling her eyes. "The moments over, why don't you just tell me what the hell you're doing with that computer."
Valon looked down at the laptop he was holding and smiled wickedly, "Whats it to ya, Valentine?" He asked.
"Nothing, in fact, I don't care what you've got on that stupid computer."
"Oh I think you would..." He smirked, "In fact, I think a few of these might actually mention you. But, you know, if you're not interested then-"
"One date!" Said Mai quickly. Curious, despite herself.
"Sorry Valentine, I'm afraid it just won't do..."
"Two!" Mai said, "It's my final offer so take it or leave it,"
"You just don't get it, do you?" He said, opening up the computer and loading a page, "I don't want your love any more, Mai. I wan't something better."
"Money?" She asked, hopefully, handing him a wad of cash.
"Nope"
"Then what do you want?" She asked, stuffing the money back into her pocket and scowling, "Because I'm not going to kill Wheeler for you."
"Gossip," Said Valon., "I want the latest on Wheeler, and make it good."
"Done!" Mai smiled mischeviously and took out a little book labled 'Latest gossip on wheeler', which she handed to Valon. Valon took it and, after checking it over, gave a nod of approval.
"I think you'll find that its gossip well spent," He said, "What I've found here is Kaiba's fan site AND," His wicked smile broadened, "The fanfics..." Mai's jaw dropped.
"You know," Said Tristan, yawning as he looked at his watch, "Its been a REALLY long day. I think I'll go to bed."
"Me too," Said Tea, "Pharaoh! Its your bed time too!"
"The great Pharaoh does not have a bed time!" Said Pharaoh.
"If Pharaoh gets to stay up late then so do I!" Said Yugi stubbornly standing behind his Yami.
"Sheesh," Said Joey, "You two are gonna be crabby in the morning," He went to bed.
"Can you believe them?" Asked Pharaoh as Tea, Tristan, Joey, Ryou and Pegasus headed in, "Its only three thirty in the morning!"
"I know," Said Yugi, "So what do you want to do?"
"Lets eat ice cream and watch bad late night comedy," Said Pharaoh, and they both headed towards the kitchen where Yugi found two bowls and filled them three feet high with ice cream. "Do you think that this will be enough?" He asked, Pharaoh nodded and they went into the living room to see if south park was on. Instead they found Mai and Valon both staring at the computer screen with looks that were in between amusement and horror.
"Whats going on here?" Asked Pharaoh, "And why are you obstructing our view of the television?"
"We got a better view than the telly." Valon chuckled, paging down the lap top, "Infact, we got some nice bed time stories for you two, so have a sit down," He and Mai scooted down the sofa and patted the cushion beside them. "Uh oh," Said Mai, after quickly reading over Valon's shoulder, "This ones raters PG 9 1/2."
"Yugi, go to bed," Pharaoh instructed.
"I'm older then nine and a half!" Yugi argued.
"Its rated for mild abbreviations and/or substitutions of profanity," Mai commented.
"See Yugi?" Pharaoh said, "Your mother would never allow it!"
Yugi scratched his head, trying to remember the last time he'd even seen his mother..."She's okay with it now," He said, it was a lie.
"Alright then!" Valon laughed, "This ones called 'Two Souls, one heart', awe, that sounds sweet! Righto, I'll read it aloud."
"It can't be" said Seto Kaiba as Mokuba finished explaining what he'd seen.
"Its true," Mokuba sighed and muttered, "I know how much you loved him but Pharaoh IS cheating on you,"
"With...who?" Kaiba asked dramatically, closing his eyes as if he could blind himself from the truth. Mokuba took a moment, this would be hard on his older brother.
"With...with...with..."
"JUST SAY IT!" Kaiba snapped, slamming his hands onto his desk, tears sliding down his cheeks.
"With Yugi Motou," Mokuba said, "I saw them kissing in the library."
"Well," Valon looked up. Pharaoh was blushing but Yugi looked horrified.
"THATS AWFUL!" Yugi said, "Who wrote this?"
"Uh," Pharoah scrambled over to Valon and slammed the lap top shut, "No one, I'm sure...but it was very good writing, wouldin't you say?" The look that everybody gave him can only be described with 0.o, "I think that we've heard enough from that genre," Pharaoh added, face redder then ever.
"Alright," Mai said, taking the lap top and scrolling down the fan fiction page, "This one says that its humor/ parody. I'll read it. Its titled 'A Yu-Gi-Oh parody', uh oh Yugi, its rated for extreme Language, violence and references to alcohol, drugs and sugar. Are you SURE that your mom wont mind?"
"I'm surem" Yugi lied, taking a huge bite of ice cream.
"Alright," Mai shrugged.
The Pharaoh, Tea., Joey and that guy with the pointy hair all walked together. Trying to get somewhere they desperately needed to get to so they could have a good old fashioned duel.
"Pointy haired guy?" Valon asked, "Lets change that to bald guy, shall we? He tampered with the fan fiction while Yugi tried to tell him that he shouldn't and Mai read on.
"How much longer are we gonna walk?" Asked Joey, ever the comic relief.
"Oh Joey!" Laughed that guy with no hair, "Can't you think of anything other than food?"
Yugi, Pharaoh, Mai and Valon burst into laughter at this. An angered Joey yelled japanese profanity at them from his bed and they all laughed even harder.
"Hmm," Pharaoh said, after they had all finished laughing, "This is rather boring, isn't it?"
"Yeah," Yugi said, "It said Humor and Parody but it all sounded pretty truthful to me...as if some one out there is actually writing what we we do and say..."
"Yugi Motou?" A mysterious man dressed in black put a hand on Yugi's shoulder, "You need to come with us,"
"I'll just be a moment, you guys," Yugi said, not questioning the stranger who had appeared out of nowhere. He was taken into another room, there were some noises akin to someone having their memories modified and then Yugi returned and the man left.
"What was that about?" Asked Pharaoh.
"What was what about?" Asked Yugi.
Everyone shrugged and found another fan fic.
"I think we should read this one," Said Pharaoh, pointing to another romance.
"I don't know..." Began Mai, "Its rated PG13,"
Yugi looked indignant, "I can handle it!" He said, through gritted teeth, "Just as long as there are no pairings with me!"
Mai and Pharoah looked to Valon. "Fine by me," He said, grinning.
"I'll read," Said Pharaoh Atem, "Ahem..."
Heart aches and new beginnings.
Tea Gardner had never really fit in with the gang. Tristan, Yugi and Joey had always been crude, rude and mean.
"Hey!" Said Yugi. Valon clamped a hand over his mouth before he could protest anymore.
All she'd ever wanted were some true friends. People she could truly confide in. This was why she was now standing outside of Dartz's secret lair. In hopes that friendship lay inside.
"Hello there..." Came a soft voice with an australian accent. Tea turned around to see a biker, holding a bag of what appeared to be cards. She recognized the person as Valon, an enemy of Joey's. As he took off his helmet she couldn't help thinking that he was rather handsome.
Mai rolled her eyes as she saw Valon puff out his chest with pride. "Thats right!" He said, "No girl can resist me!"
"I'm just glad that you're the one whose stuck with Tea." Said Pharaoh. Valon paled.
"I thought they were just pointing out my good looks..." He muttered. Pharaoh ignored him and continued to read.
"Oh... hi," Tea said hurriedly, "I was just-"
"Don't worry," Said Valon, "You don't have to explain anything to me. I know why you've come..." Tea blushed, she felt that she could tell Valon anything.
"Thats right! Because we're friends!" Yugi, Pharaoh, Mai and Valon all knew who was standing behind them before they turned to look. Dressed in her pink teddy bear pajamas and fluffy slippers, Tea had somehow managed to sneak up on them with out them noticing. Valon gulped. "Perhaps a different story," He began...
(A/N: Gasp! What will they do now that the teasaurus has risen from its slumber? Erm, we're quite aware that its been a while since this story has been updated...you know, a few weeks-
Kaiba: cough
Ok, so its been a few months! What ever. There was some technical difficulties and we're still recovering from the loss of a loved one.
Kaiba: Your other computer?
It was a special computer!)
