"So how do I do this again?" Ryou asks softly and Marik smirks.
"Lean back, and start moving your hips." Marik says as she holds Ryou by the waist.
"Like this?" Ryou asks nervously as she moves her hips in a slow and teasing circular motion. She repeatedly does this as Marik holds her and starts moving her body in the opposite direction, moving her arms so that they are tightly wrapped around Ryou's waist. The white-haired girl flushes and Marik lets out a soft moan.
"Okay, you quite honestly got that one down, let's try front." Marik says, spinning Ryou around so that the two are facing each other.
"Okay, this one is also somewhat like a hump, however this one you not do to girls," Marik explains as she wraps her arms around Ryou's waist.
"Move your hips the same way, except every now as then buck forward." Marik informs. Ryou nods as moves her hips the way Marik before instructed her. Marik moans again and pulls the girl in closer, Ryou on the other hand flushes deeply, but let's out small little moans that only fuels Marik, the same way Marik's moans fuel her.
"Okay, okay, we got that part. You know the other dances though, so I guess it's just a review and we are done." Marik says, turning Rou around and pulling the girl flush against her body so that Ryou's ass was right between her legs. "Ready," Marik asks, and Ryou nods.
With the normal girls
"Hmm, what should we wear?" Anzu asks, never having actually been to a Caribbean dance party like thing. The other girls simply shrug, none of them really knowing the culture. They didn't have the roots, or anyone to tell them how to do the dance, so they were stuck.
"We might as well ask, it's not like we are getting anywhere from here." Mai says and the others nod. It seems like everyone else knew something about it for one reason or the other had connections to the dance.
"Hey Bakura, what do you wear to Carnival?" Anzu asks looking at the group of guys exiting the bedroom.
Bakura pauses and stares at the group with a cocked eyebrow then answers, "Feathers over like a bra piece and then the shorts the length Anzu usually wears them at and really short skirts. Why?" Bakura replies and the girl flushes.
"Wh-what? Is that what Ryou and Marik, and Yugi are wearing?" Anzu asks, peering around the two taller teens to see Yami standing with them, a hidden smirk on his face.
"No, once again, why do you ask?" Bakura asks amusement in his voice.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Mai asks glaring at the guys.
"Well, it's just that Carnival is in spring, Lent more so. Its roots are in ancient Egypt that's why we know all about it. But either way, it's a New Year's Street party," Bakura explains with a smile on his face. The others nod before turning as going into a random room, drinks in their hands.
"So I guess that means that we get to wear whatever we want, but it's warm out tonight." Anzu informs the other girls with a smile on her face. They all nod as Yugi knocks on the door to Ryou and Bakura's room. Ryou opens the door and quickly pulls the girl in before slamming it shut.
The other girls look at the door with cocked eyebrows trying to figure out what that was all about. Sure, the entire, what is it now, eight-way, is so secretive about their relationship, but that it just didn't make sense why she would slam the door.
"C'mon guys let's get changed," Anzu says preparing to leave as Joey is dragged into the room by Marik and Ryou. What are they planning in there? Some form of an orgy?
Mokuba makes his way out of his room and yawns, his arms high above his head stretching his spine.
"C'mon guys, it is time to go," Mokuba says, only to realize the girls aren't prepared at all. The girls sigh as they turn and make their way over to their respective rooms. They quickly change and exit the taxi.
Bakura smirks as he stares at his hikari's outfit licking his lips as images of what he might have to do to his hikari that night enters into his mind. Mariku seems to be groping his hikari while Yami is staring with red cheeks, and Seto is smirking at Joey as the girl hops up every now and then, trying to escape the clutches of the CEO.
Anzu, Serenity, and Miho are glaring at the girls, well only Anzu is glaring, Serenity and Miho are just admiring. It wasn't that they were attracted or anything, it was just that they looked really nice, and for Bakura, they were trying to find what was so provocative that he would be staring at her. Sure, Marik and Joey were showing skin, but Yugi and Ryou remained their normal innocent selves.
It's a true shame that the girls were staring at the group of Shadow Mages, because if they hadn't been, then they would have noticed that both Duke and Honda were staring at them, their hands getting ever closer to their destinations.
A little 'eep' is heard from Miho, and everyone turns to see Honda with one hand around the girl's waist. Miho leans in to Honda and starts to relax into his grip a bit, but another 'eep' is heard and eyes flicker over to see that Serenity is being roughly groped by Duke.
The chestnut-haired girl smacks his hand away and moves to sit by Mokuba who she pulls onto her lap and nuzzles his neck causing the smaller boy to flush. Duke pouts but then goes to Anzu, who once again slaps his hand away. She sighs muttering under her breath, "I am not a prize to be won," which was true. She wanted to be properly loved, not just groped for the fun of groping.
The vehicle soon stops and the group notices that there is police tape blocking off the street meaning that they have arrived. Everyone exits the car, Ryou stopping to pay for the taxi, only to have Joey pay for her, a small smile on her face.
"C'mon people, the party is this way," Marik says grabbing her yami's hand and dragging him to where the music is loudest.
The scent of the area is noticeable, the main scents being those that come from the various barbeques lined up around the area. Smells of chicken, pork, fish, and even curry find their way into the area. It is a hot night, and the winds whipping about don't do anything to soothe you with the heat that they too bring. The little city is full of lights; however the stars too shine bright in the sky.
"Food!" Joey exclaims as she takes off to the nearest restaurant. Seto follows behind her in a slow stroll as Marik whisks Mariku off to the dance floor. Ryou drags Bakura to go try some of the sweets and ice creams the party has to offer, Yami and Yugi following behind them.
Mokuba looks at where his brother and his girlfriend just went and takes Serenity to a restaurant in the other direction. This leaves Mai, Isis, Anzu, Honda, Miho, and Duke, the group just staring off in random directions trying to decide where to go. Duke's eyes go wide and he turns to Honda.
"Dude, Seto's little brother took our girl!" Duke basically shrieks before turning and chasing after the couple. Honda simply shrugs and grabs Miho's hand.
"C'mon, there are other places that we could go check out," Honda says starting to walk off in some random direction. Mho giggles and nods acting like a love-struck school girl, and in a way she was.
Anzu sighs looking around, and then with pleading eyes looks back to Mai, Isis having snuck off somewhere earlier. "Please don't leave me, I'm all alone, no boyfriend, nothing. The guy I like likes someone else, and…" But Anzu doesn't finished, Mai is smirking evilly at her, and she doesn't have the slightest clue as to why.
"Unfortunately, I can't say that I am necessarily single, however, I'm fine with just seeing what we have to enjoy." Mai says, grabbing Anzu's hand and leading her to a part in the crowd.
With Marik and Mariku
"Oh Ra hikari, whoever taught you to dance taught you well," Mariku moans, his hands move up and down the females curved body, his hips moving in time with the beat and Marik's own hips. Soft moans erupt from both of them as the two start the steps to the dance they are doing, their hips keeping in beat with the music.
"Come on, let's go join Marik and Mariku," A familiar voice rings from the right and Marik turns around slightly annoyed when she sees Yugi and Yami making their way over.
"Relax hikari, and just dance," Mariku whispers as another soca song comes on. The two start dancing faster, and faster moving to the music, not even noticing when Yami and Yugi start to dance near them.
With Yugi and Yami
"How come they are ignoring us?" Yugi asks, amethyst eyes looking up at Yami. Yami smiles as he continues the steps to the dance, spinning Yugi and then pulling the girl to his lap.
Yugi continues the dance the way Marik taught him and Ryou soliciting a moan from the ex-Pharaoh. Yugi giggles and continues the dance. "Hikari, come on, maybe we should just enjoy each other. I mean look at the way they are dancing, I don't think that they will be dancing much longer." Yami says with a smirk. Yugi giggles but then blushes. Was it wrong that she wanted to join them?
Yami, picking up on Yugi's desires smirks before walking over to Mariku and whispering something in his ear. Mariku looks between the two star-fished hair teens and then whispers something into Marik's ears. Marik immediately stops dancing and looks at the two, the girl however remains silent.
After a moment Mariku smirks and nods over to Yugi and Yami to follow them. On the way the two pass Bakura and Ryou who have just started dancing. Mariku shoots Bakura a smirk, but Bakura simply looks back to a flushed Ryou and shakes his head.
The group makes their way to a secluded area near the beach where none of them take their time being formal and they just strip.
With Ryou and Bakura
"C'mon hikari, I know you are holding back," Bakura teases causing the girl to blush. He then spins the girl around as he hears the count down.
"5!"
Ryou starts dancing with Bakura, moving her body against his leg causing the two of them to moan.
"4!"
A curious hand finds its way up Ryou's skirt and pinches her.
"3!"
Bakura pulls the girl flush against his body.
"2!"
Bakura grabs the girl's cheek with his free hand while his other hand starts to move his hands up so that it is at the girls back.
"1!"
Bakura pulls the girl close, "I love you," he whispers.
"Happy New Years!"
The crowd proclaims as Bakura leans in and kisses Ryou, using the belief that if you kiss on the dot of a New Year you would be together forever. The kiss is long and passionate, tongues fight for dominance, though, in the end, Ryou loses and Bakura is the one who takes complete control of the kiss. Bakura's hand moves from the girl's cheek and his other hand starts to roam the girl's body. Ryou places her hands on Bakura cheeks and holds the other male as close as she can.
The two finally release from the kiss when the need for air becomes too large. Both pant softly holding each other close, ignoring the sound of the music and people dancing. "I love you too," Ryou whispers before resting her body against Bakura.
"Come on hikari, your minute of dancing has tired you out" Bakura teases, Ryou nudges him but then pulls him back so that the two can continue dancing.
With Seto and Joey
"Hey, look, de're's Mai an' Anzu, but where are our siblings?" Joey asks as she looks ahead at the group. Seto shrugs, but then notices Mokuba and Serenity exiting a restaurant hand in hand. He smirks over at his brother who starts making his way in the other direction.
"Hey, Joey, I found them," Seto says turning his direction over back to the two retreating teenagers. The male grabs his girlfriend and drags her over to the two as she glares at them, causing Mokuba to try and hide behind Serenity. The girl giggles as she wraps her arms around the younger boy.
"Joey, please stop harassing my brother with your eyes," Seto says with a smirk. Joey looks at her boyfriend who just smirks back at her.
"Just explain what is going on here and we will discuss the awkwardness of these relationships later." Seto says and Mokuba nods.
"We are on a date," Mokuba says and Seto shrugs, grabbing Joey by her collar and leading her onto the dance floor. Joey starts complaining about how wrong it is, but she soon stops when she feels something on her behind.
The girl looks back about to curse the man out who thought that he could even lay a finger on her, but then stops when she realizes it is only Seto's hand. She turns to look at the man standing before her, honey colored eyes staring wide as Seto does the first few steps to the dance that yami had taught him, but then quickly spins Joey around so that the two are dancing the other way.
"Now you've got it Seto!" Bakura yells from somewhere in the crowd causing both of them to smirk. Joey in the end just relaxes and follows out the steps to the dance.
Duke
He was alone, that was the only way to put it, everyone who he loved, or even liked, male and female had someone else. That just left him by himself, sitting alone on the street, watching his friends have fun while his only acquaintance was the bottle of beer in his hand. He stares at the bottle before him and takes a long swig, leaving only a quarter of the liquid left. His throat burns again, but he doesn't care. There is a surplus amount of alcohol here, because alcohol is made here. He can easily get lost in his drunken desires if he so wishes.
A familiar giggle is heard above and slowly Duke looks up to see Honda looking down at him, his eyes are narrowed and cold, and he winces slightly at the look within them. His eyes then turn over to see Miho; the girl's cheeks are flushed, indicating that she is slightly drunk.
A strong arm knocks the bottle away from him, and in his moment of shock, that same arm pulls him up. He stumbles a little bit and lands in the arms of Honda who holds him close. Duke then realizes just how much like a girl he looks and flushes. He then looks nervously over at Miho who is calm, and then to Honda, who pulls him into a swift kiss, his arm immediately letting go of Miho.
Duke gasps allowing Honda to slip his tongue into the other male's mouth, the two tongues battling for dominance. Duke however realizes that he loses when he feels soft lips on the soft spot of his collar bone. The male moans into the kiss and subconsciously pulls himself closer to Honda, causing Miho to move closer to him, he blushes even darker.
When the need for air arises he stops and stares at Honda, he then turns his head to stare at the blushing girl with purple hair. Both of them smile at him, and as if on cue they say, "Happy New Year's Duke!" Duke smiles before pulling Miho in front of him and wrapping the two in a hug which the other two follow along with.
Mai and Anzu
"Mai, I think I'm a lesbian…" Anzu says softly, her bottle of beer in her right hand. Mai looks over at her, her blonde hair flinging as she does. At first Mai's eyes are wide, but after a while she calms down and simply looks at Anzu with a questioning look.
"Are you sure?" Mai asks, turning her attention to the Egyptian woman who she had been watching for about a half an hour or so.
"Yeah," Anzu replies simply, looking over at Mai's form with hunger in her eyes.
"Are you sure this isn't just because all of the yamis and Seto have rejected you? Or is it because the only person who touched you this entire trip is Duke, and he wasn't your type?" Mai asks, never taking her eyes off of Isis's swinging hips. They were tempting, she wanted to join the woman.
"Yeah, I've been thinking about it, and yeah, I think I am, why, is there anything wrong with it?" Anzu asks, and Mai simply looks at the girl, and for the first time she can see all the lust hidden between the ocean blue eyes.
"No, I think I'm bi, I just don't want you jumping to conclusions," Mai says and Anzu nods. Mai sighs then gets up, looking at large ocean eyes she then holds out a hand for Anzu to do so to.
"Fine, let's check." Mai says moving to where Isis is and having Anzu dance in front of her while she took up the end.
It was a truly awkward night…
