Chapter 17

Gypsy's POV

What. WHAT?! WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT?!

When we finally parted, I was more confused than ever. What the hell had just happened?!

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"You just kissed me." I said.

"Yeah, and?"

"But I thought you were..."

"Gay?"

"YES!" I screamed.

"Close. I'm Bi."

"Well that explains a lot. Not only from this trip, but from the anime as well."

"What do you mean?"

"In the anime version of your universe, there was a lot of things that made fans want you and Yugi to be a couple. Mostly in body language and misinterpreted dialogue."

"They were right, then."

"And then there was-Say what?"

"What?"

I looked at him funny. "...Okay. But he whole point is that I shouldn't be in a relationship with you. It could disrupt your universe and potentially destroy it."

"But Gypsy, how can two kisses destroy a universe?" he asked.

I looked at him confused. "What are you-"

And then he kissed me again.

[EFF] it. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed back. The wind around us kicked up, throwing dead and falling petals around. It was truly romantic.

We broke off when we heard Yugi calling for us.

"We must never speak of this." I said, putting the rose behind my ear.

"Agreed." he answered, taking my hand and walking back with me.

Back at the RV, Yugi had been waiting for us. Strangely, he was the only one there.

"Hey guys! How was the grove?" he asked.

"It was amazing! While we were in there, a huge gust of wind blew through and blew a bunch of petals over the basin!" I said. "By the way, where's Marik and Bakura?"

"Bakura dragged Marik into the grove so they could see it too."

"Well, we should wait for them. With Marik's halfwit mind, there's no telling what will get him distracted." I said.

And so we waited. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Fifteen minutes was when I started to get worried.

"Where are those guys? We have to depart for Little Rock soon." I said, getting out of the driver's seat. "I'm going looking for them."

I hadn't even gotten in the entrance when I saw them. Bakura was carrying Marik on his shoulder.

"What the hell happened? It wasn't fangirls was it?" I asked.

"Suprisingly no. He ran ahead, tripped and pulled a muscle in his thigh."

"Oh thank goodness." I said, putting his other arm around my neck. I noticed that he was half asleep.

"Nng... can we do it again Bakura?" he murmurred.

"Are you kidding? We're leaving for Little Rock in five minutes! We don't have time." he said. "Besides, the other side looks exactly the same."

"Did he hit his head too?" I asked.

"No..."

I looked at him funny. "Whatever. We got to go before we get caught."

We carried Marik into the RV and set him down on the bed in the back.

"Marik, wake up." I said, shaking him slightly.

"Nng..." he groaned, opening his eyes.

"Good, you're awake. Where are we?"

"Washington DC."

"Good. Who lives here?"

"Gypsy, Bakura, Yugi, and Yami."

"What's your name?"

"I'm Batman!" he smiled.

"Yeah, he's fine." I sighed.
