Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[That's actually a good idea. Maybe Sam can lose her grip on the leash because Pharoah sees Atem and he wants to run toward him? Then Atem can see Sam and Joey together- thus feeling a lot more upset and such.

There is this big ol' word for a class of people who are 'sensitive' so to say. Hypocondriac (sp?) falls under it. lol House- I bet it wasn't Lupus O_o XD. I love Law and Order, esp. SVU.

Oh my god! That's horrible! Is everything ok now? At your house I mean. KB Toys is going under? The company or just that store? That sucks, you should definately start looking for another. If there is a GameStop near you- go for that, I worked at one a long time ago and it's really really fun. I work at a place that will probably go under soon- SaladWorks. I'm shooting to get a job as a bank teller. Hell yea to $10 an hour O_O *does want*

And yes, that was a good way for Mokuba to act. At his age it;s the perfect response to something he does not like.]]

Joey didn't take notice in her girly motion, but rather the more memorable reach for his rear. And it sparked thoughts of Seto- though they were as if they never stopped. Suddenly, Joey felt Sam press her lips against his and kiss. At first he looked a bit shocked- almost like her but not as angry as her. He went to go open his mouth to say something when Sam dug her lips into his and tried again. Her force reminded him of Seto. And in his newly twisted mind, this was Seto- he never left him. He closed his eyes and brought his hands to the back of her head so that she wouldn't pull away. He practically jammed his tongue into her mouth. He tilted his head and licked within her mouth vigerously- hoping that she would fight back to over come him. He wasn't gentle like Atem (though he was rough, not as much), he wanted to be rough and be roughed up as well.

Ishizu jumped as well when she heard a nearby crash. She looked over with Seto to see Mokuba- practically giving his brother a death glare. Once he left, Ishizu sighed. "Perhaps your brother is not content with my stay here," she said however wasn't about to offer to leave because of it. She was marrying Seto and that was that. Mokuba would have to get over it, she wanted him to. She wanted him to be happy with her, not destructive and angry all the time. And she certainly didn't want him to aim this at his brother. "Have you talked to Mokuba about this? About me moving in and the wedding and well....." she stopped, "have you said anything about wanting to have children?" she whispered the last part to him. She was also going to recommend protective casing for his more, rare and pricey items. It was ashame to watch works of art be the victims in such situations.

"Akiko! Haven't you stopped to think this is hard on us as well? But we are your family," her mother told her.

"Family?!Yugi's going to be family to one day and your taking that from me!?" Akiko yelled back through her cries. She didn't want to hear anymore. She backed away and turned around to leave out the door. After exitting, she slammed the door as hard as she could- causing a picture to actually fall off the wall and shatter.

"Jesus Christ," her mother mummbled feeling sorrowful as well but not knowing how she was going to reach out to her daughter. She bent down to pick up pieces of glass.

Akiko paced back and forth holding the side of her head. It only took a few sentences to make her feel her life had ended. Her future to her was gone. She'd have to leave the one person she loved from the bottom of her soul. She didn't want to leave, she couldn't leave. But what else was there for her? Sure she could live with Yugi but there couldn't possibly be enough for her there. She didn't have a job- she couldn't contribute toward the house. There was no room for her. She couldn't get her own place to live, there were no relatives that could support her. There was nothing.

Atem closed his eyes for a few moments and tried to shake away the dizziness and chaos from his head. Once stable, he stood up and went to go clean up his mess. He was shocked that he had sickened himself as so. But he couldn't help it, Sam was gone and he would never be able to do anything to get her back. Not like there was anything to get back- it was a one sided love. After cleaning, he looked at the card that set him off. Picking it up, he looked away from it. He couldn't keep this but he couldn't stand to rip it up. So he had to forget about it. He stuck it in the crack of his desk- between some items he wouldn't be going through. Out of sight out of mind partcially. He had to get her out of his mind. And the only way to do that was to keep his mind occupied. Duel Monsters was just what he needed.

[[when should he go out to get some air?

Oh and yes, it is possible to throw up if you laugh too much. My two friends went to go see Borat the first day it came out. They had no idea what the movie was about. They laughed so hard leaving the theater and walking in the parking lot that they threw up in the parking lot. I also know it's true cause I laugh a lot and I'll actually feel nausiated (stomach turns). I can't get over that fact though XD]]

[[Yea I guess. I mean, christmas season is almost done and they'll be canning some people afterwards. I still can't believe about that power outage you had. That's good that the power might be on soon, and good thing your uncle had that generator for heat. Don't feel bad- your mom wouldn't want you to suffer there- probably better that your at your dad's now.

We can play into it a little- cause there is a lot happening with the two of them mentally. We could have them disrupted by a phone call from Seto that Joey picks up. That could set Joey off a bit- like he gets really quiet. That can then lead them to go for a walk with Pharoah, and since Joey is already feeling weird about Seto calling, when he sees Atem he does feel guilty- but moreso possessive like you said. At another point, we will mention that they had sex. Joey would go through with it even though it's not.... well, his cup of tea so to say.]]

Joey's heart thumped within his chest as he felt Sam push for dominance. He needed this too, he needed to feel like this was Seto he was with. And though she fought for control- she wasn't as strong as him. She was very strong, without a doubt, but in a different way. Her lips were soft and her hair was long. No matter what, she was always going to be feminine- no matter how strong or how related to Seto she is. However, it was enough to arouse him. The more she pushed the more he did- he was never gentle. She then pulled away from him- he looked down to see a look of disappointment. It did bother him, but only a little bit- for her had the same look. No, he can't feel disappointed- he can make this work. She was so much like him, he just had to do it more. He placed his hands on her rear and lifted her up- hoping her automatic response would be to wrap her legs around him. Now they were more eye to eye level- if not she was a bit higher then him. He let her suck on his neck- a very good reminder of the past. If they could just do more, he could believe that this was Seto and him together.

Ishizu lowered her head, she was hoping that Seto would try to talk to him. she wasn't going to talk to him- she was sure that he wouldn't want to listen to her. "Yes...." she said drifting off a bit. She then shot up her head when he said that Mokuba came before her. Sure, that was flesh and blood to him, but he didn't have to say it that way. She turned away a bit with a small frown on her face. "Let's hope you don't act the same way toward your own child," she spat. She remained looking away. Ishizu didn't believe that someone had to go before the other- didn't he love all of them? He loved Mokuba as a brother and loved her as a wife (or at least wife to be). And though it bothered her a bit, she worried that if they had a child he would have the same attitude toward him or her. That was a different story, that would be his flesh and blood as well. And he would still have the same amount of love toward his brother, but not put the baby first or second or in any place.

Akiko's mother didn't truly answer Yugi's question. How could she? She simply said lowly to him, "I'm sorry."

Akiko heard the door behind her and spun around. All she could see was Yugi walk up to her and ask her if she was ok. It was like everything grew silent around her. Reality struck, this was the face she would never see again. This was the person she had to leave behind. She felt her throat clinch and her eyes water. She grabbed Yugi's hands and lowered her head. She couldn't take this, she started to kneel over as she began to cry. She kneeled slowly to her knees as if she couldn't stand anymore. This was all she could do, curl up and cry. And the more she asked herself how she was going to tell him, the more she lost control over herself. Akiko pulled her hands away from his so to hold his back and bury her head in his chest. Held back wincing turned to flat out crying, to violent weeping- to the point of hacking sometimes.

[[I'm going to hold off on Atem until the park thing]]

[[Sorry I was away- my family and I went away for xmas to a relative's house. I thought they had internet and they didn't >.< that's why I didn't post that I was going away. When I found out I was like fffffffuuuuuuuuu........ lol. Again I'm sorry crying Merry Xmas and Happy New Year- and I like the picture on the first page, first post ^___^]]

It didn't feel right to Joey either, but he was in denial a bit more so. He didn't think it could work- he knew it would work. But he couldn't help but think the same things as Sam- how it felt wrong and how it should feel. For one thing, she was too short- him and Seto were about the same height. And she was curvey- she had all the right curves for a woman, but Joey wasn't into women. But she was certainly rough with him like Seto, and yet- not as rough as him. But certainly rough at that. He kept his eyes shut- just trying to picture Seto. He then felt her shuffle around- he looked at her to see her shirt was off. He just shut his eyes again, not phased by her nearly bare top. The bra was kinda cute though- but no matter. He walked her over to the bed, ready to throw her just to be playful. But then he remembered, this was Sam- he shouldn't be rough like that with her. He placed her down on the bed and immediately crawled ontop of her. Once in that possision, he threw his own shirt off and resumed kissing and sucking at her lips.

Ishizu wasn't sure if she believed in his response or not. She was still a bit angered with the thought. She didn't mind about herself, but she wanted the baby to be loved as much as possible from the two. Seto laid her down, she almost didn't comply but she did anyway. This didn't last long, it was like he didn't want to lay ontop of her or anything. Why, she wasn't sure. Afterall, it wasn't like he didn't want to touch her or anything. He then moved her to the top and she was fine with this. She slowly and almost teasingly nipped and licked at his neck. [[I was thinking maybe Ishizu walks away from Seto cause she's still ticked off or something- then he decides to call Sam]]

All that rang threw her head was 'we'll work it out, we'll work it out'. She shook her head then slammed her hand down on the ground. She then looked up at Yugi, tears straining down her face. She kissed him, a long and hard kiss. Afterwards she buried her head in his shoulders and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't know how to deal with this, she didn't know how to tell him. She never wanted to break his heart or hurt him- but she would have to by telling him the bad news. "Yug......" she said in a shakey voice, trying to hold back her crying but truly couldn't, "my..... parents are moving.... back to the States....." She had to stop her sentence as she couldn't hold back her weeps. Akiko then whimpered, "I don't want to go back......"

Atem stood there and stared at the deck and other cards. He wanted to jump back into it, but didn't want to break down again. Maybe some air would help. He walked over to his closet to find something decent to wear. He put on a dark blue tank top with his usual black pants. He also grabbed a black button up jacket (almost like a jean jacket but not made out of jean) but left it unbuttoned. He fixed his hair a bit, though not to perfection like he used to. All he needed was his shoes and he could head out for a walk. He was thinking the park perhaps, that way he could just sit and try to relax.

The only thing that was helping Joey now was Sam's fierceness. Seto was fierce too, so he tried to picture him that way. But it was still off. Sam had a wonderful feminine body but Seto didn't Seto's body was strong and manly. If it wasn't for his arousal now, he'd feel like he was crushing Sam now. Sam pulled away from his mouth and started to say something. He opened his eyes and heard her say she loved him. Good thing she launched for his mouth again because his face represented how he felt- awkward. She didn't see it though. He continued kissing her, not pulling away to tell her that he loved her. Well he did love her as a friend but..... he just couldn't come out and say that he loved her. Besides, he just thought of Seto- how hard it was to get him to say he loved him. However, the awkwardness went away when he felt his pants being undone and her hand reaching for his member. His eyes rolled back from pleasure. Didn't matter who touched him- still felt good. He wasn't quite sure how to touch her though, afterall, he had no experience with a woman. He didn't even know how to touch her in a PG manner. How to caress someone gently, or to hold them close. No, he only knew how to be rough and how to take it. So he simply kept his hands on the bed to support his body- rather then hold her close.

[[haha, I think this was the perfect way to get them to stop]]
Ishizu had no problem becoming aroused when with Seto. Afterall, he had a wonderful body. He was strong and fit, defined and well groomed. She was quite ready to make love to him when he murmured something. She pulled away and looked at him, ready to ask him what he wanted to do. Then he out and said it. "What?" she said not sure that she heard that right. a**l? Why the hell would he want to do that? It wasn't like that was the only hole she... "Seto!" she shouted realizing why he would even ask. "No!" she shouted with the same pitch. She pulled away from him and stood up. "I'm not a man Seto. We're going to have sex like normal couples do!" she said putting up a fight. There was no need to have a**l sex- she had a v****a afterall. Worse part of this whole situation was that it was really a mood killer.

[[No no, Yugi's response was really good. It really fit with what we both wanted to do ^___^]]

Even though she doubted anything could be done- she still believed that Yugi would tell her it would be ok. That by some miracle, he would say to stay with him. That they could work things out. As much as she loved her family, she did want to stay with Yugi- she was sure they would understand. But that wasn't the reaction she got from him. Sure he sounded worried at first, but then he almost sounded angry. She pulled away to look at him with her pathetic face drenched in tears. She put her hands on his upper arms, trying to keep him with her. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't get anything out with her throat tightened and breath short. He stood up and almost shouted at her. And then he left her. No! God no he couldn't leave her. She shot up and was about to run after him. However, she stop and put her hand on her throat- she felt like she couldn't breath. She fell to her knees on the ground gasping for air- hyperventilating. She felt like her whole body was shaking, her arms however were indeed tremoring. Her heart beat as fast as she gasped for air. On top of everything else, now she was just scared. What was happening to her? Right now her mind was too scattered to realize she was having a panic attack.

Joey also shot his head up and away from Sam when he heard the phone ring. He looked down at her and felt a bit disappointed, but not nearly as much as she did. He didn't know though, he had no idea she still thought about Atem. As far as he knew she was completely into him. Joey couldn't help but chuckle a bit when she said her hands were a bit tied up. He wasn't very good at returning witty comments though, he would just chuckle and acknowledge them. He picked up the phone, still chuckling a bit from Sam's comment, "Hello?" He waited for a response, allowing Sam to play with him. He was still on top of Sam but his chest was up in the air- his free arm used to keep his elevated.

Ishizu rolled her eyes. "Some couples...." she murmured under her breath. Was he even taking her seriously? She shook her head, of course he has to be. But still. She peeked over when Seto said he had work to do. Once he left she lowered her arms and sat on the couch in disappointment. She didn't want to have a**l- she just wanted sex and now she wasn't going to get anything. Unless later tonight. She sighed, oh well. Maybe he'll come to his senses after some alone time.

Akiko sat there on the ground looking out the same direction Yugi ran off to. She was still gasping for air and shaking. Why did he leave her? He was supposed to stay with her- he was supposed to have a solution! But he ran off and left her, didn't he care?

Akiko's mother peeked out the window to see what was happening outside. However, all she saw was Akiko on the ground and Yugi no where in site. Alarmed, she rushed out the door and to her daughter. "Akiko! Akiko! What happened?!" she said as she kneeled down before her.

Akiko didn't even want to be bothered with her mother but since she felt like she couldn't move or breath very well, she had no choice. She let her mother help her out and hold her close. Akiko raged inside however. How could her parents do this to her? To Yugi? She hated them for it, but she couldn't completely hate her parents. The panic attack soon ended, but she still felt alone, lost, and heart broken.

Atem left the house, hoping to find some peace no matter how small it may be. He walked in the direction of the park. His path would not intercept Yugi's at all. And even if it did, what could he say now? Ever since his and Sam's horrific breakup, he didn't really care about anything. He cared obviously, but he surely didn't show it. He couldn't help himself, how couldd he help others?

Joey moaned slightly right before Seto spoke. But after he heard Seto's voice on the other line he just froze. His face turned white and he remained still for a little. He didn't respond, he couldn't. He's been in denial, but sometimes realization would drag him back. The fact was was that Seto was on the other line- away from him, and he was with Sam. He took his free hand and pulled Sam's hand out of his pants, pushed her off of him gently, gave her the phone, and sat on the edge of the bed. His back was curled as he stared at the ground. He rubbed his head a bit. This was definately a mood killer. He was fine in his dillussion [sp?], believing that Sam was Seto. But now he was on the phone, making him remember that he and him were no longer.

[[got nothing for Ishizu right now]]

Akiko was brought into her room. Her mother didn't want to mention what they just discussed, nor did she want to ask what happened to her or Yugi. She had an idea, she didn't want to hear it. She told Akiko that if she needed anything she would get it for her. Akiko remained quiet. Her mother left quietly, closing the door behind her but stood there a few moments near the door.

Once the door was shut, Akiko started thinking about the whole situation again. As she sat on the bed she covered her face with her hands and began to cry again. Her mother could hear her through the door. She put her hands on her ears- for her daughter cried so horribly it broke her heart.

Akiko couldn't stop from bawling. She almost couldn't breath again from crying so much. She brought her head up and looked at her phone. She wanted to call him, she needed her Yugi back. She'd tell him that she would run away from her parent's, live with him, find money some how. But she couldn't, not after the way he freaked out and left her. He was done with her. She couldn't blame him, but at the same time she hated the fact he didn't help. She didn't hate him, she only hated the fact that he couldn't help her. She hated that there was nothing to keep them together. She clinched her hands and growled loudly through her tears.

Atem made it to the park. He looked around, it wasn't as nice as he remembered it. Nothing was as nice as he remembered it. The only thing that felt somewhat the same was compitition, especially in duel monsters. But that didn't always help, as he wittnessed earlier. He sat on the bench and just looked into nothingness. How was this supposed to help him again? It was just trees and people walking by. Atem leaned his head back, this was stupid.

[[I'll post tomorrow morning with this one. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to have Yugi and Akiko doing at the moment. I was thinking about having her run away and think about going to Yugi's but just walks around Domino or something. I don't know, I'm iffy on it. I was also going to have her mother call Yugi's house to see if she went to his house cause she can't find her. But I think that would ruin the upcoming plot between the two. I dunno, any ideas for them?

But for now, I'm going to go to sleep. I'll post in the morning or afternoon.]]

[[Yay! And I return! XD No excuse this time, I just didn't get to the computer.

But anyway, that sounds good. Yea! She could leave (without her mother knowing- thus she thinks she has run away or something, should her mother call Yugi to see if she went there? I'm not sure). She can wonder around and end up going to Seto's house. She probably won't even know why either. Maybe she'll pace around the front and Seto could see her out the window?]]

Joey didn't even listen to Sam's conversation with Seto even though it was short. He blanked out a bit, trying to push everything he felt back down to the depths (sp?) of his mind. He couldn't take the thoughts of his loss, so he denied everything. He felt Sam's hand rub his back, but he didn't want to look over at her at that moment. Because he knew he would look over at his friend, half naked. And he knew it was wrong, to do to her, to do to himself. Luckily, the awkwardness ceased when Pharaoh came running in. He looked over at the little pup, though he had gotten a bit bigger as all puppies eventually do. He smiled, he did like the dog, but recently the dog did not enjoy Joey's company. He used to play with him a lot, before the tournament. But now, he kept his distance from him and growled whenever he was near or in contact of Sam. He didn't want to admit the obvious, so he told himself that he did that because he is protective of Sam. He looked at Pharaoh when he barked but looked back at Sam when she lifted her hand from his shoulder. "I'll go with you guys too," he said with a calm smile. He stood up and grabbed any lose clothing and put them back on. When he was ready he nodded at Sam.

Ishizu heard Seto walk up to the couch, then felt him sit down next to her. Needless to say, she was shocked, after any type of quarle (sp?) Seto would remain in his office until the next day or longer. She had no chance to respond, for he placed his lips on hers to give her a kiss. After so, she still looked a little surprised. He then kept kissing her. What was going on? "Seto, are you ok?" she mummble inbetween a kiss. After a few more, she smiled and shook her head a bit. "Nevermind," she said cancelling out her own sentence. She hugged him back, glad to be in his grasp. [[when Akiko gets close, I guess we'll have them stop making out somehow or something]].

She placed her hands to her head and growled while crying. She couldn't get the image out of her head of his face. He was disgusted and angry. And then like that, gone. She questioned so many things now, but know of them were true. She knew he loved her, but why couldn't he be there? Why could she be there for him? She couldn't stand being in the house, in her room. She didn't want to go near her parents right now either. She looked at the window. She was leaving, she didn't know when sh would be back, if she would come back. She opened the window and crawled out carefully. She then closed it and ran off the porch, too afraid to look back. Once she was far enough, she looked in the direction Yugi's house would be. She was no where near it right now, but she stared in the direction it would be. She held her hands close to herself and grabbed them nervously. She was truly considering running back to him. But she already let him down, she already hurt him. She would go there, her parents would find her, and she'd leave him again. She couldn't fix this, so there was no reason to see him. She choked a little from the thought, and just walked in the opposite direction of his house. She wondered around- in no particular direction or goal. She kept her head down and tried not to cry in public- even though there was nobody around.She knew she loved Yugi, but she never knew she could hurt so much because of him. Or rather, hurt from leaving him.
