I hate this chapter. I don't know why but I do. I think it's because it doesn't flow right in my mind. I had writers block while writing so that's probably the reason. Maybe you'll all find this funnier than I did. Oh well – enjoy.

Chapter 13
"I was meaning to ask you guys, where are you getting all the alcohol from?" Jou asked Marik and Malik as they moved a crate of beer out of their hiding place and into the common room.
Marik snorted. "Like we're going to share our smuggling secrets with you."
Today was Bakura's birthday and everyone was helping to set things up while Ryou distracted Bakura. It was dark outside and the party was going to take place as soon as the two came back. From the amount of alcohol the Ishtars were supplying it looked like it was going to be a very lively evening.
The party that evening was all that had been planned to celebrate Bakura's birthday (everyone was still unsure if it actually was Bakura's birthday since they didn't know what was so special about the 10th November and all they to go on was Ryou's word). It wasn't that nobody cared or anything it was just that everyone knew Bakura well enough that they knew he wouldn't loose face by being all happy and thankful for his presents. That was why they had let Ryou take them to find an appropriate moment to give them to him.
The portrait hole swung open and everyone shouted, "Happy Birthday!" as Bakura and Ryou stepped in. Well, everyone except Marik who shouted, "Merry Christmas!" just to be different.
Bakura smirked as he walked over to the table where everyone was gathered. "I thought there'd be streamers and cake," he said coolly.
"Why would we provide a cake so that you can just smash Yami's head into it before any of us have had any?" Seto asked, quickly noticing the look that came onto a few faces that clearly said 'Let's do that next time there's cake'.
"We thought you'd prefer to simply play some sort of game," Yugi replied earnestly.
"And get pissed," added Malik.
Bakura smirked. "What did you have in mind?"
Malik shrugged. "We supply the alcohol you supply the ideas."
"Fair enough." Bakura took a seat beside Ryou as he thought of something. "Shots," he decided eventually.
Malik jumped up and got the required glasses and alcohol while Yami said, "Explain the rules before we begin."
"We take it in turns to say something we've never done and all those who've done it have to take a drink from the shot glass. Or you could do the opposite and say something you've done and everyone who hasn't done it has to take a shot. It's a way of getting drunk and finding out stuff in half the time normally taken!" Bakura explained.
When the glasses were set out and everyone was seated Bakura said, "I'll start and we'll go clockwise agreed?"
Everyone nodded in agreement and Bakura began. "I've never given anyone a blow job."
Ryou, Yami, Yugi and Jou drank to that.
Malik's eyes widened when he saw Ryou drinking. "Wow Ryou you're not as innocent as I thought. Who'd you suck?"
Ryou blushed. "Bakura was bugging me and it was the only way I could shut him up." He decided it best not to mention that afterwards they had gone and fucked each other senseless.
"What about you two?" Seto asked Malik and Marik. "With all your sexual activeness I would have thought that you would have given each other a blow job."
"We skip the suck and go straight to the fuck," Marik said with a huge grin on his face.
Seto rolled his eyes as everyone waited for Malik. "I've tried to take over the world."
Bakura, Marik and Seto drank along with Malik.
"When did you try world domination?" Yami asked Seto.
"I own a multibillion dollar company – I'm always trying to take over the world…or at least the world's gaming industry," Seto replied carelessly.
Now it was Marik's turn. "I've never done something stupid." A lot of disbelieving looks were sent his way. Marik huffed and said, "Fine, I've never cried."
"Never in your life?" asked Yugi, shocked.
"Technically I've only been alive since Malik was seven and up until about a year ago I was a psycho bent on world domination," Marik explained.
"And now he's a psycho not bent on world domination," Bakura said mock cheerfully.
"Shut up and get drinking," Marik growled.
Malik, Ryou, Yugi, Jou, Yami and Seto quickly drank up.
"Seto's human? Quick someone, call the papers!" cried Jou.
"Shut up Puppy," Seto growled. Jou stuck his tongue out at Seto and was promptly whacked in the back of the head. Jou rubbed his head, grumbling about boyfriends who couldn't take a joke.
"So Pharaoh, what did you cry about?" Bakura asked with an evil smirk.
"Yugi forced me into watching Titanic," Yami grumbled. "Sad endings should be banned."
"What made you cry Malik?" Ryou asked.
"I was bitten by a snake," Malik replied calmly. "What about you Jou?"
"When my sister left with my mom."
"Bakura you've been alive longer than any of us, surely you must have cried some time," said Yugi, confused.
"I thought Marik just meant in this life time," Bakura said calmly.
"I meant any time," Marik cleared up.
"In that case." Bakura drank his shot and before anyone could ask said, "When my parents were slaughtered by a certain pharaoh and his army."
There was an uneasy silence in the air that was only broken when Seto said, "I've never had sex in the shower."
Malik, Marik, Bakura and a bright red Ryou drank.
"Ryou! How did that happen? I never thought you had a boyfriend…or girlfriend," Malik said in utter shock.
"Well you see," Ryou said nervously. "I was taking a shower and then Bakura," he stopped to give the yami an evil glare, "suddenly came in and…you know. Afterwards he claimed he was sleepwalking."
"I have no recollection of that incident," Bakura said in monotone.
"Most would consider that rape," Yami said with his own glare at Bakura.
"Not if he actually was sleep walking. Or sleep…something else," Seto chipped in.
Jou decided it best to move things along. "I've never watched the My Little Pony movie."
Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Marik and Seto drank.
"Mokuba made me watch it with him," Seto growled before anyone could say anything.
"What's your excuse?" Bakura asked the rest of the people who had taken a shot.
"I'm crazy," said Marik.
"Yugi and I are cute enough to get away with it," Ryou said on his friend's behalf. Everyone nodded in agreement at this.
"Yugi made me watch it with him," Yami grumbled.
Speaking of Yugi…"I've never gotten into a street fight."
"Does hitting someone over the head with a briefcase count as a fight?" queried Seto.
"Yes."
Seto, Jou, Bakura, Malik, Marik and Yami took a shot.
"Yami!" Yugi said in shock.
"It was back when I had just been released from the puzzle and made anyone who messed with your friends go crazy," Yami said, trying to get off the hook.
"It's your go Yami," Jou reminded him.
"I've never been mistaken for a girl."
Ryou, Bakura and Marik drank up.
"I'm guessing this is from when you went through your drag phase," Malik said to Marik.
Marik nodded proudly. "Every time I walked down the street at least one guy tried to pick me up."
"Are you sure it's because he thought you were a girl and not because he was gay?" questioned Jou.
Marik's face dropped. "I never thought of that."
"What about you Bakura?" asked Yami. "After all you're hardly feminine so how did someone make that mistake?"
"I was disguised as a woman during one of my heists in Egypt," Bakura replied.
"I'm always getting mistaken for a girl," Ryou grumbled.
"Don't worry Ryou; it's just because you're so amazingly pretty," Bakura said huskily as he wound his arm round Ryou's waist.
Ryou blushed and gazed up into Bakura's eyes, their heads moving closer together as if they were going to kiss…
"Ryou, it's your turn," Jou interrupted.
The secret couple pulled apart quickly. "I've never eaten Escargot."
"What?"
"Snails," Seto informed the lost looking Bakura.
Only Marik drank.
"Please tell me you had it in a posh French restaurant and didn't pick it up off the ground," pleaded Jou.
"I picked it off the ground," Marik said with a smirk as a collected shiver ran through the group.
"Shall we end it there?" asked Yugi.
"Why not; we've all had a turn and I'm ready for a beer," said Bakura as he downed what was left in his glass.
"In that case I think I'll just go to bed while you-"
"No way Yugi – no-one goes to bed until they're smashed," Bakura decreed, the alcohol starting to affect him, just like it was starting to affect everyone else.
"Don't worry Yugi," whispered Yami. "Just pretend you're drinking and when the rest of them pass out we can head to bed."
Yugi sighed. "You say as if you won't also be passed out."
"I won't pass out – I'm not stupid enough to drink myself to that!"
Yugi smiled ruefully. "You will be stupid enough to accept their challenge for a drink off though."
Yami kept quiet since it would be a lie to say that he wasn't susceptible to accepting a challenge even if it was stupid and given by Bakura.
And so that was how the evening turned out. Everyone decided to throw restraint to the wind and drank as much as they liked. Even Yugi decided he might as well have something to drink.
By the end of the night the short tri-coloured haired boy was the least drunk of all his friends but by no means was he sober. That was why the next morning he dismissed some of the strange things he remembered off as being dreams or hallucinations. He thought he remembered seeing Ryou and Bakura rolling on the floor together making out. Then again, he thought he saw Marik wearing a pink bonnet and holding a parasol. And then there was Seto handing out money to poor starving orphans. Definitely dreams.
When everyone awoke some time after midday the events of the night before had been more or less forgotten. They could remember playing Shots and then getting drunk off their heads but details were sketchy at best. So nobody remembered the details Ryou had given about his private life and his secret relationship with Bakura remained undetected…For now!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hahaha! Don't worry, I will reveal Ryou and Bakura's relationship to the others very soon.
Please review – it makes me all hyper and in the mood to write more chapters.
