Yah! Finally, finished typing this. I have been really busy these past weeks so I was happy to finaly sit down and type this one out. This chapter is longer than the others so that should make up for it. =)

Warm, Bluring, Chaos

"Ding, Dong"

"Hey guys!" said Yami and Yugi.

"I'll take that," said Yami as he reached to grab the food Shizuka was carrying. However, it was promptly snatched before he got to it by Honda.

"No, I'll take it."

"I believe the kitchen is this way. I'll put it there." Otogi then grabbed it away from Honda and rushed towards the kitchen with Honda yelling after him. Shizuka and Anzu just laughed. Yami sighed and followed everyone into the living room.

"Ding, Dong"

Yami looked at the clock. It was seven.

"That must be Mokuba," said Anzu. They all got up and moved towards the stairs.

"Hey everyone!" cried Mokuba.

"Ah, so your brother finally let you out of the dog house, did he?"

"What was that mutt? You're the only one here who lives in a dog house."

"Hello Kaiba," said Yami.

"Oh, Kaiba we didn't know you were coming."

"Sorry little one, I forgot to mention he's joining us tonight."

"What! Go back to your cave!"

"Joey, calm down," yelled Otogi and Honda, who had to drag him into the other room to stop him from hitting the taller man. Kaiba scoffed, "He really needs a muzzle." Yami smirked at the pair, then ushered them into the living room. "I'll get us a drink." Kaiba made himself comfortable on the couch while everyone else sat around the coffee table in front of the TV.

"You're just like Yami," Anzu said. "He normally just watches too."

"Here you go," Yami said, handing Kaiba a wine glass as he sat down.

"I don't drink," replied Kaiba.

"Too much for you to handle, it's just one glass. Wine was all I drank in Egypt."

"Alcoholic," grumbled Kaiba.

Yami chuckled lightly as Kaiba sniffed the glass before timidly taking a sip. They both just sat back and watched everyone play a game of monopoly. Yami let his mind wonder. He smiled as he saw Yugi cheer when Joey landed on this land that had a city on it. Yami's eyes widened in realization, he was happy. Not only was he happy but he felt a warm glow coming from next to him. He slowly turned his head to the source. He knitted his brow and stared. All he saw was Kaiba. He couldn't possibly be the cause but he decided to test his theory anyway. Yami quickly gulped down his wine and briskly snatched Kaiba's glass out of his hand. As soon as their fingers touched, he felt a rush of warmth run though him.

"I'm not finished yet and I don't want any more wine," snapped Kaiba.

Yami stared, a little startled, and looked at Kaiba's glass were a small puddle of liquid remained at the bottom of the glass container.

"You are almost out and I need a refill." With that, he jumped up and rushed into the kitchen.

He slowly put the glasses down on the counter. The source of warmth, the reason he felt happy seemed to be coming from Seto Kaiba. Something about him was canceling out the curse. However, he appeared to have to be close to the male for he could already feel his body growing cold again and his eyes turning vacant. Quickly, the wine entered the glasses. He grabbed two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon and walked into the living room. Setting the bottles on the table, he gave Kaiba his wine and sat down.

"You must be stupid if you think I'll drink all that," Kaiba said pointing at the bottles. He was already feeling a little light headed from the first cup and the last thing he wanted to do was get drunk. Not only was it stupid but he also had no idea how he would take to the liquid. Yami smirked and sunk into the couch moving closer to the young CEO. He knew Kaiba was worried about the alcohol but he didn't care. Getting drunk wasn't that bad of an idea.

"Who said I would share."

"Hmmgh."

Silence remained for a while as they listened to the sound of the gang. Yami smiled, enjoying the feeling of happiness and the warmth radiating from Kaiba. He shifted again and turned towards the CEO.

"How is work going?"

"Work is work; it's Mokuba that's the problem." He replied with an exhausted tone, as if the issue had been nagging at him for a while.

"What did he do this time?"

"He's failing math. I've tried to tutor him but I don't have the time for the problems he has."

"You could always hire a tutor."

"I'll have to or he'll flunk at this rate."

"What is he studying? Maybe I could help."

Kaiba scoffed. "Did math even exist when you were growing up? Mokuba would end up teaching you."

Yami's anger flared as he glared at Kaiba. "Yes, Kaiba, it did. I knew it way before you could even count. However, I missed three thousand years. That's a lot to catch up on." The blue eyed man chuckled softly at the outburst of the red eyes and watched their flames ebb to a soft candle glow.

"Either way, I don't think the two of you would get very far, no matter how hard you tried."

The crimson eyes narrowed. "And why is that?"

"Distractions." He replied simply as he took a sip of his wine.

"Whaa…"

Yami, however, was interrupted by Mokuba who was looking at them intently.

"Big brother, are you talking about me?"

Yami looked at Mokuba and then at Kaiba and smirked.

"Of course, Mokuba, what else does your brother have to talk about besides work and you?"

Kaiba growled at the comment and Mokuba timidly looked at his hands.

"It's about math isn't it?"

"Are you not good at it," asked Anzu.

"I'm umm… failing"

"Oh, I can help. I'm really good at it so I can tutor you after school."

The group all turned to look at Kaiba, all visually stunned that he had not protested. However, he and Yami were engrossed in their conversation.

"Well that's a first," stated Honda.

"Anyway, as I was saying I'd be glad to help."

"Um… Mokuba?"

The boy stared softly at his brother almost as if in a daze. "So, he's finally relaxing, huh."

"What? I thought we were talking about math."

The gray eyes widened in realization. "Oh, sorry, I was watching my brother. He seems to be enjoying himself."

"I know what you mean," spoke Yugi softly. His purple eyes held the same glow as Mokuba's as he watched the pair happily converse.

"He hasn't smiled in a while. I'm glad he's enjoying himself."

The gang looked puzzled. "But, Yugi, Yami looked fine yesterday and this morning," said Shizuka.

"No, something's been bothering him. I can read him like an open book. He is my other half after all." He smiled and then sighed "He hasn't smiled. He may smile but I can see his eyes. They're still empty."

"Don't worry Yugi," Joey said as he comfortingly patted Yugi's back. "He'll come around."

"He's only the King of Games and past Pharaoh," said Otogi enthusiastically.

"Shut up."

"What?"

"I said shut up. A title doesn't make you invincible."

"Maybe just invisible," whispered Yugi in response to Mokuba. An uncomfortable silence hung between the group.

"Well, perhaps, they were just stressed and this will ease their moods. I'm sure in fact, so don't worry."

The pair smiled, "Thanks, Anzu."

"I'm sure Yami just needs some time to adjust to our world. He's from the past after all."

"And, my brother has been staying up late recently because of work."

"Right."

They smiled and once again blended in with the happy scenery surrounding them. The gang had become so engrossed in their game, they didn't notice the red liquid slowly being drained until none remained. The effects shattered the innocence of the game shop bringing it into the crude world of insatiability. The laughter evidently filling the room caused them to jump and turn towards the source, a look of shock plastered on their faces. The scene, however offered no comfort.

Kaiba was shakily holding out his wine glass as Yami attempted to pour the evidently empty bottle of wine into Seto's glass. Shoving the bottle at his face, he spoke.

"Hehe, Seto, we need another bottle this one's…"

"…empty," spoke Seto.

The two looked at each other and started laughing once more. Yami threw the empty bottle over his head, causing it to shatter into tiny course pieces.

"You guys are drunk," yelled Joey.

"Big Brother!"

"Yami!"

Shame and embarrassment colored the siblings faces. How could they do this to them? The gang was shocked and wanted nothing less than to leave the pair to their own half-brained selves. So they just stared.

Yami shot up from the couch, wobbled a bit, and then turned to Seto and yanked him off the couch almost sending him flat on his face.

"More wine," cheered Yami.

"No, no, Blue Eye's will get it."

Yugi and Mokuba looked at the floor.

"Blue Eye's White Dragon get me more wine," shouted Seto causing Yami to hunch over in hysterical laughter.

"Gosh, Darn it Blue Eye's where are you!"

Mokuba shot up from his place and moved to restrain his brother. This encouraged Yugi to grab his other half. However, Yami snatched Seto's arm and flung him away from them towards the hallway.

"Let's dance to my wine, Dragon."

"Blue Eye's Dragon! Where! I don't see him."

"Guys stop it," cried Yugi desperate to move them away from everyone else.

Yami grabbed Seto's hand in his and started stepping and swinging them both around towards the kitchen.

"Come, Dragon, to the wine."

Seto's eyes widened. "I'm the Blue Eyes," he shouted in realization while swinging Yami out and then pulling him back in. They disappeared into the kitchen.

The group stared as Yugi and Mokuba ran into the kitchen. They exchanged glances and their own eyes filled with shame. Why weren't they helping? Friends help each other. Joey's head feel and he ran into the kitchen causing a butterfly effect. With great struggle, they managed to pull Seto and Yami away from the wine and towards the stairs.

"We should go," said Mokuba. "Roland will be out front."

"What! I still haven't had my drink, White Lightening Attack!"

Yami giggled, "I think your lightening burnt out."

"Come on Yami let's get you to bed."

"No! I will see Dragon off," he stated in a loud adamant voice his feet planted firmly on the ground looking very much like pharaoh. He firmly walked down the stairs and followed Seto to his car. Yugi looked uneasily at everyone and ran down after Yami to make sure he didn't fall over. Roland helped Kaiba into the back passenger seat and Mokuba slipped in the front.

"Seto," yelled Pharaoh. "You will come again."

Seto blinked at him. "You come over next time."

They stared at each other until Yami broke down laughing and hunched over on Yugi. "Haha, I forgot you have a house."

"Goodbye, Yami."

"وداعا, Seto."

The car drove away and Yugi helped him up the stairs and into his room. He got him into bed and the drunk teen passed out into a soft sleep. Yugi sighed and walked out to everyone waiting for him in the hall. He was embarrassed.

"See you on Monday, Yugi."

"Goodnight, Yugi."

"Goodbye," replied Yugi.

And with that, he watched everyone leave and then shut and locked the door.

Aww.. I feel so bad for Yugi and Mokuba. They are just so innocent and cute. I know how they feel.

I hope I'm not making this too cheesy. As I was typing this out were Yami was realizing Seto was canceling out his curse I couldn't help but think it sounded a little corny. But oh well I like it.

Tell me what you think.^^
