GUESS WHAT EVERYONE? I'M NOT DEAD! Actually, I just graduated and have tons of free time on my hands right now, so I thought,,, Why not continue some of my old stories? Even if no one is still following them, this might be a chance for new comers to come in and take a look around.

Wow I sound cheesy

Anyways, this chap is pretty short, mainly because i rushed it because I wanted to establish, I'm back and hopefully to stay~

-Start Chapter 9-

"Oh look!" Yugi commented softly, leaning over and looking and three a couple of seats down from them. "Jounouchi-kun showed up! With Kaiba-kun and his little brother too!" he giggled upon seeing, well,that is, barely able to see them, but managed to thanks to the light from the movie, Jounouchi toss popcorn at Kaiba. He saw as Kaiba's little brother mimicked the the motions for a giggle when Kaiba tried to just brush it off and ignore Jounouchi.

And that, he knew from experience, was something that was near impossible to do.

And it showed as Kaiba covered Jounouchi's mouth to silence him and then promptly smack the back of his head.

Yami's eyebrows shot up as he looked over at them. "Huh, this night is just full of surprises, huh?" he frowned then. "I didn't think Kaiba would be into this kind of movie... or Jou for that matter," he added as an after thought, especially after seeing them play fight in their seats.

"I know!" Yugi gushed. "Maybe their arguments are just their was of communicating with each other," he offered up the idea and shrugged. "But I just pulled that out of thin air, so I could be completely wrong about it."

Yami took another look at the two and grinned at Yugi. "I think you might be on to something, actually," he snickered. "Poor Jou, having to deal with Kaiba, at least Mokuba's there to help him."

Yugi gave him a skeptical glance. "Is Kaiba-kun really that bad?" he questioned, bringing up the straw to his drink to his mouth and fiddling with it.

"Just a bit full of himself, but I'm sure Jou can knock that right out of him," Yami assured and then gestured to Yugi's drink. "What did do you get?" he asked.

"A suicide," and upon seeing Yami's double take, quickly added, "It's pretty much all of the soda's mixed together!"

Yami made a grossed out look and Yugi couldn't help but laugh,

"It's not that bad," he (tried to) confirm Apparently Yami wasn't having any of it, though, and Yugi held the cup out to him. "To be honest, though, I put mostly root beer in it, so that taste is most strong," he explained. "Try it?" he offered.

Yami, deciding to put his full faith in trust into Yugi that the drink was not going to make him throw up, took the cup from the smaller. He tentatively took a small sip, and then a much longer one before handing it back to Yugi.

"Okay," he admitted, looking almost ashamed. "It was pretty good."

Yugi beamed and turned back to his drink, absentmindedly putting the straw back into his mouth to play with it. His face instantly colored when he realized Yami had just drank out of that and should he have wiped it off? Would have that been offense? Or was it just too weird that he didn't care that he probably had Yami's saliva in his mouth.

Yugi let go of the straw with a soft pop noise and instead buried a little further into his seat, praying that the movie wouldn't end soon enough to reveal his cherry red face.

Oooo

They watched the movie in mostly silence, that is, until Mai's big kiss scene came up. That's when Mai began muttering under her breath about wretched breath and bleeding lips and bad kissing over all. With the way she glowered and glared at the screen, it was obvious it wasn't the most enjoyable experience for her.

"Seriously, all the fangirls out there think kissing that guy would be the best experience in the world," she leaned forward slightly. "It took ten takes before he stopped missing my mouth and another five for me to stop cringing away. I finally demanded that he just go and put mouth wash in and chew some gum before trying again," she groaned lightly. "Worst kiss ever."

And then Aimi started to pry. She leaned over her bother to look at the other two and grinned at them. "Can I ask, since the topic of kisses has been brought up, what kissing Ryou is like?" she asked as innocently as possible. "Since you two are dating you must kiss a lot, huh?"

Ryou's face went bright red and he stiffened. Mai leaned over him and closer to the girl, giving her a lop-sided smile. "Unfortunately, Ryou is a lip virgin, well, and a virgin by other definitions too, of course, and I don't think I'm good enough to be the one to take that, or any others, from him," she sighed sadly, placing her hand on her chest and winking. "But I'll make sure that the person that does take it doesn't hurt him or else I'll kick their ass," she winked.

Aimi blinked in surprise and adverted her gaze from the grinning blond, to the other boy, who was tense and she wondered if he was blushing, then to her brother, who was staring intently at the movie screen. A little grin quirked her lips up and she swung her legs lightly back and forth. Now that was interesting.

Oooo

By the time the move was over, Yugi's red face had faded to his usual color as the tension on Yugi's part lifted as Yami asked him questioned about Mai's parts and what filming was like for her. Yugi explained the terrors she had told him and Ryou and by the end, they were both trying their hardest not to burst out in the theater.

"Oh man, poor Mai," Yami chuckled as they left the theater and went into the lobby. "And everyone thinks a movie stars life is glamorous!"

Yugi nodded in agreement and bit his lip. While acting had it's benefits, unless you were Yugi or Ryou, nothing about your life was private, and poor Ryou was being thrust into the views of the fans and fame by pretending to be Mai's boyfriend. He'd have to be extra careful not to get his picture taken.

"I had fun," Yami's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

Yugi looked up at him with a little grin. "So did I."

Oooo

"Ah.. can we go now?" Ryou asked, shifting nervously from one foot to the other, seeing all of the reporters trying to snap pictures from outside of the theater. "And it would be too terribly rude to ask if we can go out the back door?" he looked over at Mai, his eyes large and watery/

Mai clapped his back with a cheeky grin. "As much as I would love to show off my cute boyfriend, yeah, we can," her smile sweetened up when she saw Ryou heave over slightly and sigh in relief. She then looked over at Bakura and Aimi. "You two are welcome to join," she looked down at Aimi, "As long as you manage to keep your brother in check."

Aimi giggled and grabbed her brother's hand, squeezing it. "Promise!"

"Don't forget," Bakura interrupted, seeing as there was no way that he was going to convince his sister not to go. "You have to be back at the hospital soon."

Aimi pouted. "I know."

Ryou looked back at her and tried to get her to smile. "Would you like another visit from Ruki?" he asked, looking over at Mai. "I'm sure Mai can set up another one."

Mai snorted. "'Course I can!"

"Really?" the girl looked absolutely ecstatic. "I would love that! And I wouldn't mind if you two came to visit either! You hear that, 'Kura?" she looked up at him. "I'll get to see Ruki again!" she gushed, swinging her free arm up and down. For once, she felt absolutely alive.

"Definitely!"
