Chapter 3.... this is where the un starts... ^_^

Yami Yugi = Yami Yami Bakura = Bakura Ryou Bakura = Ryou Joey = Jou Tristan = Honda

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

- Honda, Seto, Mokuba, Shizuka (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 (Tea) 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* Jou and Mai forever!

I put up an info thing for my and Lucky Ruti’s original characters... don’t worry, she said I could use them...

I would like to thank Elspeth Gordie, my first and sadly only reviewer for this fic. Love ya. I put another chapter just for you. ^_^

Disclaimer: Don’t own it....

Chapter 3

“Your table is ready, Kaiba-san.”

“Wow. Already,” Miranda said.

“Right this way,” Kenji said, leading the to a back room that was set up for wedding dinners.

“A private room. Nice,” Jou said. He leaned over to Kenji, “Good job.”

“Arigato.” Jou looked over at Bakura who was looking at the decorations distastefully. It was too cute for him.

“Hey, Honda, maybe we should let Bakura in. Maybe he’d think we’re cooler then he thought. You know that he probably hates us.”

“Probably?”

“Good point.”

“But you have an idea for once so let’s try it.”
“What’s that suppose to mean? Hey, wait up,” Jou hissed. They crept over. “Hey, Bakura.”

“Nani,” he snapped. They cautiously explained their little ‘plot’ for the night and to their surprise, Bakura was interested.

“Honto?” Honda blurted.

“Sure. Why not. Sounds better than sitting around here bored out of my mind.” Both boys blinked, then shrugged.

“Cool,” they said in unison.

“Don’t think this means I’d want to do anything with you idiots in the future.”

“We understand,” Honda said.

“Just so long as we don’t get killed,” Jou whispered. Everyone sat and soon ordered. Before the food came, Seto stood.

“I wanted to thank you all for coming. You all had helped me and Mokuba on that island. More than you know. Domo Arigato. [1]”

“You’d do the same for us, wouldn’t you, Seto?” Mai asked.

“Well, I don’t know. I didn’t know you guys that well at the time,” Seto explained, sitting down.

“That’s right.”

“Oh, and this was Mokuba’s idea.”

“What was?”

“Remember this morning when you said we should all celebrate?”

“Yeah, I remember. Arigato, onii-san.” The food came and everyone began talking about what had happened on the island and what they’ve been doing since then.

“Time for fun,” Bakura whispered, smirking as he grabbed a small bottle of wine from a cart behind them. When his ‘prey’ wasn’t looking he spiked his drink. Jou and Honda were watching and chuckled to themselves.

“Yami, what’s wrong?” Miyu asked, looking at his face.

“This has a weird after-taste all of a sudden.” He put his drink down.

“Maybe it tastes weird because of the food,” she said.

“Maybe.” Shrugging, he turned and continued to talk to Seto, giving Bakura another chance to add more.

“Hey, this is raw!”

“Jou, what did you order again?” Miyu inquired.

“Steak Tar Tar. It sounded good.” The group sweatdropped as Jou poked at the meat.

“Jou, do you know what Steak Tar Tar is,” Tamashi asked.

“Steak.”

“Not just that...” Ryou muttered, head in hands.

“Then I don’t know.”

“It’s a raw steak,” Yoko explained. Mai giggled as Jou looked down at the meat.

“So why didn’t they just give me the cow.” he asked sarcastically, pushing the plate away, earning a few laughs.

“Do you want something else, Jou” Seto asked, still laughing.

I don’t want to be a bother...”

“Too late...” Honda whispered, earning a hit in the head.

“Well, I don’t know why I’m telling you this but...” he pointed to a few tables behind them. They were covered with food. “...you can take stuff from there.”

“Sweet!”

“But don’t touch the wine. Its for a wedding tomorrow.”

‘Oops,’ Bakura thought, hiding the bottle. ‘Oh, well. Yami really took it if you ask me. *evil grin*’ He peered over at Yami just in time to see him give a small hiccup. It seemed more like a squeak though.

“Yami....” Miyu giggled. “You have a case of the hiccups.”

“Oh, great. Yugi’s had the *hic* ups before and there wasn’t one word said without being interrupted.” He sighed.

“You know, Yami, I heard that if you drink something they might go away,” Bakura suggested. Yami eyed him suspiciously but figured he had nothing to lose. Bakura chuckled to himself as he watched Yami finish his drink.

“*Hic* Didn’t work, Bakura.”

“Oh, well. I said it might work. I didn’t say it would.” Yami sighed and put down his empty glass. He looked at the other side and sweatdropped.

“Uhhh, *hic* Jou? Don’t you think that’s *hic* enough?”

“Hmm?” He had about four plates filled with food. They were sure there would’ve been more but he didn’t have the room at his spot at the table.

“Yami, you’re kidding, ne? You know he’d have more him he could,” Tamashi said, sighing. Yoko and Miranda giggled.

“Hungry?” Ryou asked sarcastically, looking at the brown-eyed blonde.

“Onii-san...” Shizuka sighed.
