Strange Romance

Chapter Three

Yuugi got everyone to calm down after a while. Joey and Tristan won't to be happy to see Mariku. Serenity was scared; Tea was upset, and mad. Seto...well was Seto he didn't care but didn't really seem too pleased. Mariku just didn't care what they thought.

"Okay...this is a sleep over. We should all just play spin the bottle." Tea said. This did get Mariku's attention.

"What's this...spin the bottle...game?" Mariku asked. Tea looked a bit shocked, maybe because he didn't know, or that he was even paying attention to her.

"Well...you take an empty bottle, and spin it. And ho0w ever it lands you kiss them. However you want really" Tea explained. Mariku looked bored but nodded. This game will be interesting to say least. There were mostly guys where. Mai, Joey's sister and Tea where the only girls.

Also...He looked over to Yuugi. Ever since he spent time with the runt. He began feeling...odd. Yes odd was the word for this, he didn't know what i9t was it felt like butterflies had gotten into his stomach and where trying to get out, making an almost ticklish feeling fill him.

He wanted to know what was going on, and what better than a kiss? A kiss can tell you a lot. He was hoping it'd tell about this feeling.

"Sounds...interesting" Mariku said, getting up from v the couch and sat in the circle with everyone else. Joining the game.

Joey grumbled something under his breath about the psycho joining in the game. But there was really no other commentary on the matter.

"Well I'm gonna go first!" Joey said reaching over and spinning the bottle. It began to slow down and landed on Seto.

Tea and Serenity giggled at Joey's face, it was red from either rage or a blush. Seto just looked as smug as ever.

"Well what are you waiting for Wheeler?" Seto said. His voice amused and cold at same time.

Joey growled some and walked over to Seto and kissed him on the lips, a quick peck really. Before hurrying back to his own seat. Seto reached over spinning the bottle and it stopped on...Shadi?

Everyone's eyes widen, even Mariku's, when the hell did get here? How was he here? What No one saw coming was Seto waling over and kissing the ghostly Egyptian on the lips, for a bout minute before walking back to his stop. Shadi looked on confused so it was up the girl to fill him in.

...

"I came because Yami Marik got out of the shadow realm. It is not possible for him to do because it sealed but somehow he did" Shadi said, in this emotionless voice. "I'm here to put him back in there."

"Well I haven't done a thing wrong since I got back. How about you spend a few months there and tell me how the weather was once you get back" Mariku grumbled. It was true...he hadn't done anything bad, some weird things yes...bad no.

"...Well how about you let Yami Marik stay...and if he does something wrong, then he goes back?" Yuugi said, he was always for giving people second chances. He would for anyone.

Before leaving Shadi gave the bottle a quick spin, it landed on Serenity and gave the girl a quick peck on the cheek and left.

Serenity was just blushing but starts to spin the bottle...it landed on Mai, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

The game went on. Mai landed on Duke, Duke got Tea who got Tristan, who got Seto, who got Tea. It was all just game really. But it seemed to keep avoiding Yuugi, and Mariku. Everyone else getting a turn, some even three. It was got so ridiculous that they just let Yuugi take his turn...it landed Mariku.

Yuugi blushed really hard. He got up and kissed Mariku's cheek. Something odd happened then, Mariku got the weird feeling, and grabbed Yuugi's arm and pulled him into his lap and kissed him, tongue and all. Taking his lips off of the now dazed teen. He looked at the others.

"That mortals, it how you really kiss someone." He said with a laugh. He worked Yuugi up so he was sitting in a sitting position, but held the small confused teen in his lap. Needless to say everyone else was shocked too.

Like really what the frigg just happened?

...

Every set out their sleeping bags, and began to talk about who the days went, how life was going. Everyone was so busy now. Joey was got into a cooking school, Tea was going to New York next year, and Tristan was going to college.

Seto ...well was going what Seto does. Running a gaming company. Yuugi just planned to help his grandfather with the game shop, while he wasn't in college. He didn't know what he wanted too. Everyone though he was going to get into gaming, but he said he didn't want to do that.

Mariku just listened, he didn't have plans. He didn't have an education to build off to even get into a college, nor did he have any dream for the future, other than defeated the evil hair demon living on Yuugi's head.

They talked for a few more hours, Mariku himself getting in the conversation, glancing at Yuugi when no one was looking. But finally everyone fell asleep.
