Hey, minna-san! I came up with this little fic while I was watching Regis and Kelly. The first 15 minutes of that show is funny. Anyway, he (Regis) was explaining his night going to dinner with Donald Trump. Even though Trump owns the place they go to there’s no tables so Regis has a little fun by messing with the workers telling them that Trump was angry (he wasn’t). But anyway that’s how I came up with this.

Yami Yugi = Yami Yami Bakura = Bakura Ryou Bakura = Ryou

Pairings: Jou/Mai, Yami/OC, Ryou/OC/Bakura

- Honda, Seto, Mokuba, Shizuku (Serenity), and Yugi - aren’t coupled up

(I personally really, really wanted to put Malik in here but he wasn’t on Duelist Island *sob*)

And Anzu isn’t in this because.....I HATE HER! She such a friendship-obsessed freak. (IF there is anyone out there who likes her [I doubt it] I apologize) I have her paired with Jou in my other story ‘Vampire Blood’ but that will soon change. *insert evil laughter here*

Yami: Hotaru, you okay?

Hotaru: Now that you’re here I am. Yami-koi?

Yami: Hmm?

Hotaru: Do the disclaimer.

Yami: Demo-

Hotaru: You’re going to start this again?

Yami: Oh, forget it. Hotaru doesn’t own YGO or she’d have her own computer. Though the original characters (OC) belong to her.

Hotaru: On with the fic!

Chapter 1

“Seto! Seto!” The younger Kaiba ran through the halls, searching for his nii-san. “Seto, where are you?”

“In the kitchen,” Seto called. Mokuba raced in and jumped in a chair. “Hey, kiddo, want some breakfast?”

“Sure but do you know what today is?”

“A Saturday?” Seto answered, confused as to where this question was going.

“Besides that.” Seto thought a moment as he placed two plates of eggs on the table.

“I give up, Mokuba,” he sighed.

“Today is the one month anniversary since we all left Duelist Kingdom.” Seto scoffed.

“You know what? I think you’re right.” He walked over looking at a calendar on the wall. “Yeah, it is.” He sighed remembering everything that had happened. His partners.... er... former partners had tried to get rid of him to take over KaibaCorp., but the looks on their faces when he’d returned from his virtual world was priceless. His nii-chan’s voice brought himb back to reality.

“We should all celebrate, Seto.”

“All?”

“You know, Yugi, Jou, Honda, Mai, -”

“I don’t know, Mokuba,” he cut in. Mokuba made a face.

“Don’t tell me you’re still not their friend yet. Yugi saved us.”

“I know. As did the spirit.” They had learned all about the spirit of the puzzle not too long ago from Yugi. He said that the spirit’s name was Yami and that he had no memory for his past. That is until a blue-haired girl named Miyu came saying that she had been searching for him for as long as she could remember. Seto didn’t like it because he had a crush on her but she only had eyes for Yami.

“Yeah, Yami’s nice too. Why can’t you be friends with them?” Seto didn’t really know the answer to that question himself.

“Let’s talk about this later, okay? Eat up.” Mokuba nodded.

Later on in his study, Seto was thinking about what had happened on Duelist Kingdom one month ago. He and Mokuba’s souls were held captive by Pegasus and the ones who came to their rescue was Yugi Mouto and his friends. ‘Hmm...maybe I should give them a chance,’ he thought, ‘It really wouldn’t hurt.’ Picking up the phone, Seto dialed Yugi’s number. After about three rings, someone that Seto couldn’t recognize answered.

“Game Shop. How may I help you?” Came the deep voice.

‘Whoever it is sounds bored,’ Seto thought to himself.

“Moshi, moshi?”

“Uh, hai. Who is this?”

“You called us. Shouldn’t you know?”

“I don’t recognize your voice. It’s much to deep to be Yugi’s or his grandfather’s.”

“Well, Yugi’s not here, Seto. Can I leave a message?”

“Nani? How did you know it was me?” He heard the person chuckle softly.

“Because I recognize your voice.”

“Who is this?”

“Yami.”

“Why didn’t you say so? It’s not like I didn’t ask.”

“I don’t know. So what did you need Yugi for?”

“I need to talk to him.”

“Well, he went on an errand of Ojii-chan who is in the back at the moment.” Then, as if on cue, there was a crash from the back room. Yami sweatdropped.

“Uhhh...chotto matte, onegai.” Seto looked at the phone.

“Uh..sure.”

“Ojii-chan! Daijobu? Ojii-chan!”

“I’m okay, Yami. Don’t worry. I just dropped something. Who’s on the phone?”

“Seto Kaiba.”

“Oh?” Yami nodded.

“He wants to talk to Yugi but he’s not back yet. You sure you’re okay?”

:Hai, hai. Tell Seto to call back later.” Yami went over and picked up the phone.

“Seto?”

“Hmm?”

“If you call back later Yugi will-”

“I’ll what?” Yami jumped and screamed, nearly dropping the phone.

“Yugi.” He looked at the phone, sweatdropping, and put it to his ear. “Gomen nasai, Seto.”

“Right.” Yami handed Yugi the phone, giving him a bit of a death glare. Yugi giggled nervously.

“Uhh.. moshi, moshi, Seto.”

“Hey, Yugi. How have you been?”

“Good. So what are you calling for?”

“Did you know that today one month ago was when we left Duelist Kingdom?”

“Is it really?”

“Hai and I wanted to celebrate by taking you and the gang out to dinner as a way of saying thanks.”

“Wow. I don’t know what to say.”

“So how about it?’

“I’d love to. I’m sure the others would, too.”

“Great. I’ll call the others. Be at my place at 7:00 tonight, okay?”

“If you say so.”

“Ja ne, Yugi.”

“Ja ne.” They both hung up. Yami stared at Yugi, waiting for him to fill him in.

“Yugi?” Yugi jerked a bit. “What happened?”

“Seto invited us to dinner.”

“Honto? Interesting.” Yugi raised an eyebrow and went into the back room to help Ojii-chan. *CRASH* Yami sighed.

So? What do you think? I know it’s not much now but the next chapter will be up soon.

Yami: You said that about ‘Ancient Past’

Hotaru: Yeah, but I’m putting alot of effort into that fic. This one is just a humor fic I thought of randomly while watching a morning talk show.

Yami: Whatever...

*points down* Now, please feel free to use the nifty little button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to flame me about Anzu not being in this then be my guest. I need a good laugh.

Yami: Isn’t that kinda harsh?

Hotaru: Yami. Who likes Anzu?

Yami: Good point.

Other than that reviews will be greatly appreciated. They motivate me. You need to give a little to get a little.

Ja ne,

Hotaru Sasaki
