How many ways are there to be creative about a disclaimer? Oh, here's one:
If I tried to say I own Yug- ...the show, my art muse tackles me and makes me say I don't own Yugioh. He does it so I don't get hurt by lawyers...and he just likes making me feel bad.
"Mokuba! Come look!"
Mokuba ran into Noa's room. "What is it?"
Noa was sitting on his bed, a glass of carbonated water beside him. Or, at least, it had been water. It was now a pale red, although still translucent. Next to it was a candycane. The short part looked normal, but the longer part was missing all of its red stripes up to a certain point. "You see the water?" Noa asked.
"What happened to it?" Mokuba asked, excited. He sat down on the bed next to Noa, who told him it was peppermint water.
Mokuba looked confused, so Noa clarified. "I put part of my candycane into the water. I think it's the red dye, since that part of the thing's white now, but it tastes like peppermint too!"
Mokuba laughed. "Can I try it?"
"Sure thing!" Noa picked up the cup and passed it over.
Mokuba took it, feeling a spark when his fingers brushed Noa's, and smiled. "Bottom's up!" He then raised the glass and took a short sip. It was sort of sharp but still minty. The carbonation was mostly gone but there was enough to make it feel lighter than normal water. It was interesting, that's for sure. But...really good. "Wow! It's good, Noa!"
Noa smiled and kissed Mokuba. "Thanks! Now can you go through a lot of candycanes into Seto's hot tub?"
Mokuba smiled and hit him softly in the head. "No! I don't understand why you like to torment him so much."
"Because! He's...He's...He's...Oh, give me the peppermint water!" Noa snatched it back and filled his mouth with water.
Mokuba just laughed. "You'll have to swallow sometime! And then you'll have to tell me!"
Noa just shook his head and mock-glared at Mokuba. Mokuba smiled and Noa fearfully wondered exactly how long he'd wait there.
Four hours later when Yami looked into the room, they were still sitting there. At the sound of the door opening, Noa leapt up and ran from the room, Mokuba quick on his heels. Yami just sighed and tried to make them run into the dining room, since he'd come up to call them down for dinner.
Don't knock the peppermint water 'til you've tried it! That and French bread dipped in cherry cola. Both are good. Review me please? I promise if you do I won't forcefeed you either of those!
