"Come on, guys! Hurry Up!" Joey called from down the street. She was ahead of the other girls and appeared to be in a rush.
"Calm down, Joey." Yugi said. She and her sisters were walking calmly behind.
"We're only three minutes later than usual and we normally get there five minutes early." Marik said.
"Yeah, and five minutes early has become the normal time!" Joey said.
"He has a point, you guys. That means that we're three minutes later than usual." Ryou glanced at her watch. "Make that four minutes." The Hikari's looked at each other and burst into a run after Joey, who had resumed her run.
They finally got to their destination, an open air karaoke cafe, and quickly took their unofficially allotted spot.
"We just made it." Joey said as they caught their breaths.
Silently, they looked through their song options and chose 'Something's got a hold on me', letting the song start.
Yugi: Oh, Sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
Marik: Oh, I get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before, no, no
Joey: And I just gotta tell you right now that I
Ryou: I believe, I really do believe that
Marik: Something's got a hold on me
(Oh, it must be love)
Ryou: Oh, Something's got a hold on me right now child
(Oh, it must be love)
All: Let me tell you now
I got a feeling
I feel so strange
Everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step, I got a brand new walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk
I said, Oh, Oh, Ooh, Oh
I said baby
Oh, It must be love
(You know it must be love)
Let me tell you, now
Yugi: Something's got a hold on me
(Oh, it must be love)
Joey: Oh, Something's got a hold on me right now child
(Yeah, it must be love)
All: Let me tell you now
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I believe I'd die if I only could
I sure feel strange
but I sure feel good
I said Oh, Oh, Ooh, Oh
Joey: I said baby
Marik: It must be love
(You know it must be love)
All: Let me tell you now
My heart feels heavy
My feet feel light
I shake all over, but I feel alright
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I never thought it could happen to me
Got me happy when I'm in misery
I never thought it could be this way
Love's sure gonna put a hurting on me
Ryou: I said Oh, Oh, Ooh, Oh
Yugi: I said baby, Oh, It must be love
(You know it must be love)
Ryou: It walks like love
(You know it walks like love)
Marik: It talks like love
(You know it talks like love)
Joey: Makes you feel alright
(Makes you feel alright)
Yugi: In the middle of the night
(In the middle of the night)
Ryou&Marik: Na na na na
(Na na na na)
Joey&Yugi: Na na na na
(Na na na na)
All: Ooooohhh
The entire area burst into applause as the girls flopped down in their seats from their standing performance. They laughed and chatted as the four boys across from them talked.
Atem Yami was similar to Yugi in appearance, the only difference being that his eyes were a dark red-violet. He was also like Yugi in personality except he wasn't nearly as child-like as her. He, too, was the head of his group.
Bakura Yami was like Ryou in the same way that Atem was like Yugi. His eye color was an almost black shade of brown and his hair wilder. He was, instead of soft spoken, rather rude and unreserved. He didn't talk much either, though.
Malik Yami was equally as similar to Marik as the other Yami's to their Hikari's. His eyes were grey and his attitude was worse that Bakura's in the matter that he actually talked. Just like Marik, he was the rebel.
Seto Kaiba was actually just the opposite of Joey. He was refined, but he would tell you his opinion if he thought it was appropriate for the time. He was equally as loyal as Joey was though. He just showed it by pushing you to your limits and making you stronger. He had brown hair, blue eyes, and an ever so slight tan. He was also the second in command.
The Yami's were orphans to begin with and taken in by the Kaiba's to give Seto and his little brother Mokuba some friends. Raised as princes, they didn't really have much to complain about other than when Seto's parents passed away when they were 17. Seto and Atem took over his father's company, co-ownership working nicely for them despite having a bit of a rivalry.
"Come now, Seto. You have to admit that it is strange." Atem said, glancing at his look-a-like as she looked at her friend in slightly amused worry. The former mentioned guy was not admitting that the fact that the Hikari's were practically the female clones of the Yami's.
"It is rather strange." Bakura admitted, eyeing his clone as she held her laughter.
Seto looked at the girls, holing his gaze on the golden head for a moment. She was choking on her food, having been eating too fast. "I suppose." He said, looking away.
"They are rather attractive though." Malik added, looking at his copy pat her choking friend's back while smiling with amusement. The boys hummed in response.
The girls, after Joey stopped choking on her food, noticed the boys staring at them.
"Is it just me, or have those boys over there been checking us out for the past five minutes?" Marik said. Her breath caught when her gaze locked on Malik's.
"Yeah, I noticed too." Ryou was looking reservedly at Bakura. "Three of them look like us."
"That certainly is odd." Yugi said breathlessly. Atem had looked back up and they had locked eyes.
Joey looked at her friends with a devious gleam in her eyes and a smirk on her lips. "Uh-huh, so that's how it is."
The eye-lock between the Hikari's and Yami's were broken the next moment when a waiter walked between them. The girls looked at the table red as Santa's suit while Joey snickered.
Seto cleared his throat with a raised eyebrow and an admitting smirk, gaining the attention of the boys. The Yami's suddenly found their plates very interesting as their cheeks became a dusty pink.
As the two groups left, Joey lingered a little, 'coincidentally' passing Seto.
"If you want some entertainment, go there tonight." She whispered, pressed a card into his hand, to Seto, his head half turned to her. He looked at her and with a practiced wink, she was gone.
The Yami's and Hikari's beckoned their respective sibling-like-friend, asking what kept them. Joey accused a misplaced cup causing her to trip while Seto claimed to have 'found' the business card at their table. Neither set of siblings suspected anything, but they also couldn't get the other set out of their heads.
