Dia: sorry for the long wait guys.
Yugi: Are you feeling better now?
Dia: much better in fact. I had to spend the weekend in the hospital, but now I'm back and ready to write.

Dia: why are you so happy?
Yami: because I finally see my Aibou! *grabs and cuddles Yugi*

Wordsorcereress: Thank you for the blanket, I feel much better now. And no you still can't kill Tea. (Bakura & Marik: WHAT?!) I'll let you know when I fire her. Have no fear Yami is here! About Tristan and Duke; I wasn't sure about pairing them together, but now that you think about it they do sound like a good pair.
Lovemondotrasho: I'm glad you like the chapter. I didn't really think of Duke and Tristan as a couple, just real close friends; but I guess they do make a cute couple. Yami will show his handsome furry face in this chapter. YAY!

Yami: Dia does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or 'the Disney's Aristocats'.
Dia: Enjoy!
-Chapter 3-
After that long cold night, the storm finally passed. The sun shined brightly the next morning. Yugi was the first one to wake up. Yugi climbed out of the basket and walked down to the river to get a drink of water. Yugi faced towards the sun enjoying the warm the rays gave. He then looked back down to the water and gazed at his reflection.
"I can't believe Tea would do something like this." Yugi said softly to himself, as a few tears escaped his eyes.
Yugi was snapped out of thought when he heard singing close by.
"I'm like a chee-chee-chee-chee-rony like they make at home"
"Or a healthy fish with a big backbone"
Yugi looked across the river to see a cat that looks a lot like him but with darker fur, singing happily to himself.
"I'm Atemu De Lacy"
"Giuseppe Casey"
"Yami O'Sennen"
"O'Sennen the alley cat"
Yugi smiled at the stray cat enjoying the sound of his voice as he continued to sing.
"I've got that wanderlust"
"Gotta walk the scene"
"Gotta kick up highway dust"
"Feel the grass that's green"
The stray then Jumped skillfully on the wall of stone bridge and walked across.
"Gotta strut them city streets"
"Showin' off my éclat, yeah"
The dark colored cat then glanced down at Yugi and a smile grew widely across his face.
"Tellin' my friends of the social elite"
"Or some cute cat I happen to meet"
"That I'm"
Ryou soon woke up and saw Yugi nowhere in the basket; he started to worry but didn't panic. He then he the heard a voice outside the basket and carefully peeked his head out the cover. What he saw nearly shocked him, He saw Yugi with another cat. The unknown feline was in a tree above Yugi bouncing a branch, making flower petals fall in him.
"Atemu De Lacy"
"Giuseppe Casey"
"Yami O'Sennen"
"O'Sennen the alley cat"
Yugi giggled as the petals fell on him. "Why Mister, your name could cover all of Egypt and Japan."
The crimson eyed cat's smile grew wider after hearing the smaller cat's beautiful voice. He wanted to his voice again. "Of course I'm the only cat of my kind." He winked, Taking a flower from the tree and then threw it at Yugi.
"I'm pharaoh of the highway"
"Prince of the boulevard"
He then jumped down from the tree and leaned on a rock near Yugi.
"Priest of the avant-garde"
"The world is my backyard"
"So if you're goin' my way"
"That's the road you wanna seek"
"Morocco to Tokyo or home, sweet home,"
"In Domino, Subarashī, you all!"
Joey and Malik stirred out their sleep and Ryou sitting at the edge of the basket twitching his tail happily as he looked out the basket. The Tabby and the Mau got up to see what the Persian was so happy about. They looked out the cover as well and saw Yugi and another feline.
"Hey, who's this guy?" asked Joey.
Joey was hushed when Ryou put his paws to his mouth. "Shh! Just listen.
"I only got myself"
"And this big old world"
"But I sip that cup of life"
"With my fingers curled"
"I don't worry what road to take"
"I don't have to think of that"
Yugi watched the handsome cat circle around him.
"Whatever I take is the road I make"
"It's the road of life make no mistake"
"For me, yeah!"
Malik and Ryou started bobbing their bodies to the song, but Joey just stared at the familiar looking feline, swearing that he saw him somewhere before.
"Atemu De Lacy"
"Giuseppe Casey"
"Yami O'Sennen"
"O'Sennen the alley cat"
"That's right"
"And I'm very proud of that"
"Yeah!"
"Bravo! Very good; you have a wonderful talent." Yugi applauded
"Why thank you. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Yami." He said in a gentlemen like way. "And what might your name be?"
Yami is an Abyssinian. He had dark cinnamon fur, more like Amber, long lightning shaped bangs like Yugi that framed his face. He was a little bigger than Yugi; and did he mentioned muscular and illegally sexy, a cat should be put down for being that good looking. Yami also had an extremely long tail with a black tip.
Yugi smiled shyly and answered, "My name is Yugi."
"Yugi." He repeated dreamily to himself. "Beautiful. Love it."
Yugi blushed at Yami's compliment.
"And those eyes… ooh." Yami stared into the bobtail's large amethyst eyes. "Why your eyes are like amethysts sparking so bright, they make the evening dim… and dark.
Ryou felt into his own fantasy hearing Yami being romantically poetic to Yugi. "How romantic."
Joey looked at the fantasy dazed Persian and rolled his eyes. "Sissy stuff." Earning a glare from Ryou.
Yugi smiled. "That's very good Mister Yami. Very poetic! But not quite Shakespeare."
The Abyssinian chuckled and winked. "Please just call me Yami, and that little one was pure Yami. Right off the cuff." He lied down next to Yugi. "I got a million of them."
Yugi smiled for a moment then sadden. "Oh, no more, please. I am really in a great deal of trouble." His eyes faced the ground.
Yami's ears perked up and lifted his head. "Trouble? Helping beautiful kitt-, uh cats in distress are my specialty." Yami sat up and moved closer to Yugi. "So what's the problem little one?"
Yugi sighed and look up at Yami. "Well it's very important that I get back to Domino. So do you think you could be so kind in showing me the way back?"
Yami's Eyes went wide. "Show you the why?" Not believing what he just heard. "Perish the thought. We shall fly to Domino on a magic carpet, side by side." He leaned against the small Bobtail. "With the stars as our guide; just we two."
"Well, wouldn't that be wonderful Pharaoh?" A voice came from behind.
Yami groaned and turned around. "What do you want Marik?"
Back at the basket Malik stared at the crazy looking feline. He was love-struck. Marik was the same color as him; his fur was wildly long with patches of dark brown and black all over his body. His eyes looked like the eyes of a wild tiger stalking his prey. Marik was a long-haired Calico. Ryou and Joey also looked at the crazy looking Calico. Ryou glanced over to Malik saw him frozen stiff; he waved a paw in front of his face.
"Malik." He said in a singing tone. "Hello is anybody home?" Trying to Malik back to the real world.
Malik finally came out of his little love fantasy. "Huh? Did you say something?"
Ryou smirked. "Looks like Yugi isn't the only one love-struck. Come on, let's go say hello." He said as he started to push Joey and Malik out the basket.
"So who's the little runt with no tail?" Marik asked with a smirk on his face, walking towards Yami and Yugi.
"That 'runt' is my pal Yugi." Joey growled as he walked and got between Yugi and Marik.
"So, who's the mutt?" Marik smirked more, earning an angrier growl from the Tabby.
Yugi nervously chuckled. "Yami, Marik, these are my friends; Joey, Ryou, and that over there is Malik."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Smiled Yami.
Marik glanced at the Egyptian Mau. Malik looked up at him before quickly turning away trying to conceal the blush forming on his face. The Calico walked past the growling Tabby and everyone, and stopped in front of the Mau. "So, your name is Malik?"
While Marik was busy flirting Malik, Yugi sadly looked down to the ground and sighed.
Yami looked at sadden Bobtail. "What's wrong Yugi?
"I'm really worried about how to get back home."
To hear the sadness in Yugi's voice made Yami's heart sink. He wanted to help Yugi and his friend get home. He thought for a moment and an idea came to mind.
"Wait here." Yugi, Joey, and Ryou exchanged glances to each other when he ran to Marik, pulled him away and whispered something in his ear. Marik's tail started to twitch crazily. Marik ran passed the 4 confused looking felines; ran up the hill and climbed a tall tree. Yugi looked Yami, who only smirked and winked at him; making the small Bobtail blush. Yami just love seeing the blush form on his beautiful face.
"WHAT?! What the hell do you mean 'you lost' them?!" Tea's voice yelled angrily through the phone.
"Keep your wig on lady; we'll get the damn fuzzballs back!" Rex yelled back
"You better or else." She threatened and hanged up the phone.
"Damn it weevil! How could you lose them?!"
"I didn't mean it! Blame those stupid dogs and your poor driving!"
"If we don't find those cats soon we're done for."
"Keep your hat on, oh that's right that dog took it." Weevil snickered
"You won't be laughing, if Tea exposes us."
Weevil stopped his snickering and his eyes went wide. "You don't mean… she knows?"
Rex could only nod to answer his question.
"H-how in the name of insects did she find out?"
"Beats me, all I know is that we better start looking fleabags before that old man gets home; or we're dead." With that they left the old shrine and went to look for the cats.
