Let me know if these are good]]

Marik thought he heard something so he knocked on the door again. "What's going on in there?" he asked. He thought, perhaps Lord Death sent someone after them already. Finally Lerena let him in. She was sucking on her blood filled wrist. He raised an eye brow as he saw nobody else in the room except for her. Lerena then told him that the witches knew she was here. "What?" he asked unsure he heard correctly. "How did they figure out you were here? It couldn't have been from the fight. I can't even sense your soul," he said. "Are witches really that eager to find you?" he asked as he walked in. Well this was terrific. Not much they could do. Tell Lord Death? Even if Lerena and Renoko didn't assist them today, she would have to tell him that she was a witch.

Renoko came back with a rag and Malik instantly took it. He then grabbed Lerena's hand so he could see the wound. "You're going to need stitches. Hold still," he said wrapping the rag around her wrist tightly. It wasn't that he felt guilty, he didn't. He just felt entitled to do something. Which in a way ticked him off and in another way, made him feel like he had a purpose, small enough as it was now. "By dumbass you mean Marik. Yea he does. If he doesn't like us going to our room then tough s**t. Come on let's go," he said waiting for them to follow him to his dorm.

Ok, she was ok now. Well, not ok. She was stable at least. She still felt like s**t and guilty and everything else- but at least she could function. Her arm stopped bleeding, it wasn't a deep wound to begin with. She then walked out of the bathroom and back towards the infirmary. Were those other people still there? What would she say? She didn't have to say anything. Would they ask her what happened? What should she tell them? Did Shinigami-sama already know about this? Come to think about it, Kid did come and get them before. So somebody knows something. She made it back to outside of the infirmary. Yup, everyone was still there. She looked away from everyone. She wasn't very good at communicating with people since.... that. She sat next to her dog, who greeted her with a tail wag.

Soul raised his eyebrow when he saw the girl return. "Where did you go? Didn't you get hurt?" he asked.

"No where..... and no," she said laying down on the floor using Spirit as a pillow. "Just tired....." she added.

"Well you could just go back to your dorm and wait," he said being logical. He also wanted to see if she would or not.

"I'd rather stay here," she said gloomy. "You all don't have to wait here....." she added.

Sudden screaming came from inside the infirmary. It instantly made Akiko put her hands on her ears. She then jumped when she watched the door swing open. "I'M NOT TAKING A NEEDLE!!! NO! I FEEL FINE REALLY!!!!" Jonouchi said trying to leave the infirmary. There were other nurses trying to pull him back in.

Akiko sat up and pulled Spirit close to her in fear. "J-Jonouchi..... just let them give you the needle....." she said still in shock from the outburst.

"NO WAY!!! I don't need a tetanus shot! I already had one as a kid!!! Tell them Akiko!" he begged.

"Y-You need one ever 5 years you dork!" Akiko shouted back at him. "And how should I know when you last took it! Stop fooling around!!!" she said letting go of her dog who growled at Jonouchi.

"Hmmm you're no help....." he said still struggling against two nurses trying to pull him back in. Spirit stood up and ran in front of Jonouchi barking angrily. It was enough to strike fear and distract him for the nurses to pull him back in. When he was back inside they closed the door.

Spirit came back to Akiko's side, sitting next to her. From outside they could hear one last scream. Akiko instantly put her one hand on her forehead and mumbled, "Idiot......."

[[why are the tough guys afraid of needles? O.o ]]

[[np I was having a rather strange episode myself the past few days @___@

Should we FF Jonouchi and Atemu finishing up in the infirmary? I'm running out of ideas for them @___@]]

Malik reached his dorm and opened up the door. He instantly moved out of the way when a flying cup of some sort flew at his head. Of course Marik was still pissed off. He was going to have to get over it. Malik saw nothing else in Marik's hand so he entered in no longer worried about being hit with something.

"Didn't I tell you not to come back here?" Marik growled at Malik.

"Keep quiet. I have no time to deal with your foolish ways right now," Malik said seriously and darkly enough. He ignored his weapon and went into the bathroom to get a first aid kit.

Marik glared at his partner as he ignored him. He then gave a dirty look to Lerena and Renoko as he left the living room to his own room- slamming the door as he entered his room.

Malik came back with the kit in his hands. He turned on more light so he could see her wrist. "Go to the counter over there," he said as he prepped his things. The only reason he was good at this was because he never asked for medical help from the school. He did all of this by himself. First off, he washed his hands multiple times. He may act the way he does, but it didn't mean he was a slob or stupid. He knew this took cleanliness or he could infect her. He looked over at Renoko and Lerena and said, "You can sit if you want." Malik was referring to the stools at the counter. He then sterilized the needle he was going to use to stitch her. Next, he brought out two cups, one with water and one with rubbing alcohol. He grabbed some rags and the other supplies and brought them over to the counter. He sat on the other side so he could face Lerena.

He never asked to touch her, like before, he just simply out and grabbed her wrist. He wasn't gentle, but he wasn't harsh, that is until he removed the rag. He then moved a lot more carefully then before. He took a rag and dampened it with rubbing alcohol. It was to disinfect the wound. He looked at Renoko and said, "You better hold her," he then looked at Lerena, "don't move." He then patted the wound with the rag. It would sting, but it had to be done.

After the shot Jonouchi laid back in the bed. He looked at the bandaid that covered his shot area. He poked at it feeling a bump form. "I hate shots......" he mumbled angrily to himself. He then looked at the nurse and said, "Hey, can I go already? I feel fine, really. I've had worse." When the nurse said no Jonouchi pouted to himself. However, when she turned around, Jonouchi took the opportunity to slap her on the rear. She let out a shriek as she turned to face Jonouchi. Would acting up get him kicked out easier? Nope, she just so happened to find another shot Jonouchi needed.

Soul sighed as he sat down on the ground, away from Akiko but still near the door. "I don't mind waiting. What about you Maka?" he said.

Akiko continued waiting there. Any other time she would be happy that other people were waiting with her. But she was in such a poor mood from guilt and everything else, all she could feel was numbness.

[[maybe we can have Kid and his girls go see Shinigami so not so many people are waiting outside? We don't have to play them going there either or anything.]]

[[Sorry for being away for so long X__x
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHKNgT6EJV0 I think this should be Akiko's theme song in this RP. Not that it matters, I just tend to write better when I listen to this song or to anything from 'Ra' XD I really do love this song]]

Stitching yourself and stitching someone else were two completely different things. Even stitching up Marik was different then this. He had to stop from time to time to refocus. Her slight winces were enough to destract him. Once he was done he put the needle into the rubbing alcohol to sanitize. He then reached into the first aid kit to put out bandages and such. He wrapped her wrist up, still being careful. "You can't get this wet for at least 5 days, one whole week would be better though," he said as he finished up. "You'll also have to change the bandages at night, so I'll give you a roll," he added. He then stood up and walked behind her, "I saw that scum bag stab you when your back was turned. Might as well take a look at that while I have everything out." He was still concerned with her wounds that he had forgotten to tend to his own. He could deal.He stayed quiet for a moment, but then said, "Do you think all the witches know you are here? Or just that one b***h?"

Soul looked at Maka as she spoke. "Especially considering they couldn't fight at their full potential," he said referring to the two being separated. Yes it was dishonorable, but when you are aiming for something you do not consider what is fair. "Probably expulsion, but it might be something more considering how bad things got," he said. Time went by and at one point, Kid was called away to the Soul Room. Probably to talk to his father about what happened.

Akiko waited patiently, staring at the door. At one point she started to daze into a light sleep- where she could still hear things around her but her body was completely relaxed. She then heard the door open, she instantly opened her eyes and stood up. Were they done? What would they tell them?

Jonouchi was the first to walk out of the infirmary. He had a few bandages on him, but nothing much. He stretched and said, "Finally, that was annoying."

Soul stood up and smirked. "Heh, heard you got your a** handed to you," he said giving Jonouchi a high five.

"Oh please, you're making me sound like a b***h. I did pretty good considering," he said giving a high five back. Leave it to Jonouchi to take things lightly after wards. He looked at Akiko and said, "Why the long face?"

Akiko looked at him but looked away. What was she supposed to say? Sorry I can't use you? Sorry I let you down? Sorry I let your friend down?

Jonouchi made a jokingly annoyed face, "Hey, I asked you something, don't just say nothing."

Akiko looked back at him, thinking he was being completely serious, "Well I don't know, maybe because there are three people who resulted in medical treatment," she snipped at him.

Jonouchi rolled his eyes, "Oh so would you have felt better if you got hurt as well?"

"Yea, actually, now that you mention it," she said taking her shame out on Jonouchi since he was provoking it.

"Don't be stupid," Jonouchi said.

Akiko narrowed her eyes and looked away from everyone.

[[I'll have Stein come out next post to tell them of Yugi's condition. Yea, there is no way he'll be up and ready considering what happened to him XD. Atemu can come out with Jonouchi too since he and Jonouchi were hurt just about the same]]

[[not sure what to do exactly with Shinigami right now, may skip it for now

I would try pming them, 8 months is a looooooong time XD

OwO you're subconscious is awesome THE CAKE WAS A LIE]]

Malik thought that she would only lift up her shirt. He didn't think anything about it at the time. That changed when she took her whole shirt completely off. Malik froze, trying not to do something stupid. He stayed in the same position staring at the wound on her back, his face almost straining not to look anywhere else or make a face. His hands were about to touch the wound but they too froze in place. At this point, it wasn't deep seated emotions after all he just met the girl. Still didn't stop him from natural thoughts and feelings when it came to females. He remained still for a minute or so and finally mumbled, "damn...." He then quickly got up and turned away, "I.... have to think about how to patch your back up...." he said making an excuse. He walked over and looked at a random object within his book shelf to keep his eyes occupied. "I don't mind taking them down if they come after us. From the way you made them sound they sound like a group of assholes. Plus I need a witch's soul eventually, no offense," he said. "My wounds aren't that bad. Nothing that needs stitches. Your back may need stitches, I'm not sure at the moment. I have to think about it," he said still delaying time. It was partially true though, he has to take another look though, eventually.

Spirit walked away from Akiko for the moment and walked up to Atemu. She sniffed him for a moment but walked away from him and up to the door. She stared at it for a while, sat down and waited, then started scratching at the door.

Akiko looked over at Spirit only when she heard scratching. "Spirit stop that!" she commanded but in a low voice.

Spirit made a whimper grumping sound back at Akiko. She continued to wait at the door until it finally opened. She jumped up and wagged her tail. However when she saw it was only Stein she tried to get pass him and into the room, which failed since he immediately closed the door instinctualy.

Stein looked down at the dog and smirked for a moment. "My you're such a fascinating specimen......" he said darkly at the dog.

With that Spirit ran back to Akiko and hid behind her.

Akiko pet her dog after she ran back to her but looked up at Stein. "Um...." she said in a low voice but was overcasted by her other weapon.

"Doc! Is our friend going to be ok?!" Jonouchi called out eager to find out if he was ok.

Stein looked at Jonouchi and the others for a moment then smiled slightly. "Luck was on his side this time. He's stable now. However there is more work needed to be done. Much more surgery needed to be done," Stein said. He then explained some of the things he would have to do. Mainly work with the heart since that last attack damaged it.

She was relieved when she heard he was going to be ok. However, as she listened to Stein's explaination her stomach started to turn. The description mixed with her memories of what she saw and she lost it. She hunched over and put her hand over her mouth. That didn't prevent her from puking. It was only a little bit, but enough to get unwanted attention. "<********>" was the only thing she could murmur out after wards.

"You should go back to your dorm. Actually, all of you should. No point waiting out here," Stein said to Akiko then to the rest.

"I'm fine I can wait here," Akiko lied.

"You expect me to believe that? Are you going to wait here all night? Go back to your rooms, come back in the morning if you want," Stein said turning around and going back into the infirmary to work on the student more.

Akiko looked away with her eyes. Seemed he wasn't letting anybody wait outside. She really didn't mind sleeping on the ground and waiting. But she guessed that would raise questions with other students and staff. She didn't have a choice now really. And she still did feel sick to her stomach..... so maybe it was a good idea to go back. She kept her head down and said, "Sorry," to the people around her. She then turned away and started to walk away to her room, Spirit following her.

Jonouchi obviously noticed what happened but tried not to say anything so it didn't bother Akiko. Couldn't blame her, it sounded pretty bad. He looked at Atemu and asked, "What are you going to do? You wanna crash in my dorm so your not alone?" Sure Atemu had to have been relieved that Yugi was going to be ok, but still down from just..... everything. Plus he kind of wanted to watch him, make sure he wouldn't go off and try to settle things on his own. Not that that was something Atemu would do, but he knew how close he and Yuugi were- he wouldn't put it pass him right at the moment. He turned around to see Akiko walking away. He'd deal with her in a moment after he was done with Atemu. [[LOL BROS BEFORE HOES XD]]

[[nothing for Soul or Shinigami-sama atm]]

[[haha XD
That sounds good. Not collecting souls is going to kill Malik and Marik XD since they are trying to become stronger then Yuugi and Atemu. That and now they can't get to him time being. Lerena is out in the open- punishment enough. Shinigami should tell them that they are expelled 'indefinitely' but in reality he is going to bring them back. I was thinking that Shinigami doesn't mind Lerena being a witch. I was thinking about that child witch in Episode 2, I think her name was Angela?

Perhaps some type of 'good deed type of thing. Perhaps they have to collect a certain amount of evil souls without eating them (forfeited to Shinigami)? ]]

Malik mentally prepared to look back at Lerena. It was just Lerena, that was all. Without a shirt, no matter. Every woman has them, nothing extraordinary. So why was this so hard to do again? He turned back around to face Lerena, forcing to keep his eyes looking at Lerena's eyes. He blushed slightly but tried to speak as if it was nothing. "I don't know what I am going to do actually. He'll probably send someone to get us. I don't like the idea of being brought in, I really don't..." he said thinking about escaping before someone came for him. He didn't like this feeling, someone after him, someone coming to bring him in. It made him feel caged in. During his last sentences, his eyes automatically started to drift more downward.

Marik opened his door with an apple in his hand. He was going to get something to drink when he looked up to see Lerena shirtless. He stopped himself from walking and leaned against the door frame while smirking. "Well now I feel completely better," he said staring at the goods as he took a bite out of the apple.

Malik whipped his head around to glare at Marik. "Go back to your...... where did you get the fruit?" he asked half distracted.

"My room, where I keep my food," he said pointing inside his room.

"You're hoarding food?! You god damn imp!" Malik yelled at him. "And stop staring! What are you 12?" he said. He then walked past Lerena to sanitize his needle again. He then grabbed what he needed and said to Lerena, "Go to the couch and lay on your stomach. It's just easier to stitch you that way."

"It's easier to do other things too," Marik said actually in a lower voice.

As Malik walked past Marik he knocked his apple out of his hand. He then placed all of his supplies on the table, sitting next to it.

Marik stuck his arms up after the apple fell to the ground. "Don't be mad with facts. Like you would know anything about that anyway," he snapped back at Malik.

"God I hate that p***k....." Malik mumbled to himself.

"Arcade sounds awesome. Better then sulking in our rooms," Jonouchi said in agreeance with Maka. Jonouchi then looked over to Akiko and then back to the group, "Hold on one second ok?" He then approached her and said, "You wanna come with us? We're going to the arcade."

Akiko turned around to look at Jonouchi. Wait was he serious? Well she guessed people didn't want to worry in their dorms, understandable. "Why are you asking me?" she asked. Didn't Jonouchi not like her? Wasn't that the whole argument they had before this s**t storm? Plus she still felt like she failed everyone, why would they want her to come?

"Look, are you going to stand there asking questions all day or are you just going to go with everything?" Jonouchi said. Didn't she see that he was trying to include her now? No he didn't hate her, and he was trying to get along with her now.

"But....." she said looking past Jonouchi. She looked at Atemu, trying to look for an emotion. Of course he looked down, but was he mad that she was coming along?

"AHR!" Jonouchi made a buzzer noise and continued, "times up, you're coming." He then instantly wrapped his arm around her torso and picked her up holding her against his torso.

"What are you doing!? Put me down! I'm not some thing that you can lug around like this!" Akiko said instantly flailing around. She hated being picked up, she always felt like she was going to be dropped. "Ok ok ok! I'll go! I was just thinking! Stop being impatient! Put me down! ..... lightly! God don't drop me!!!" she said pleading at the end.

Spirit ran around the two of them barking at Jonouchi. This time, not growling. She thought they were playing and wanted to play too.

Jonouchi put her down, especially when the dog started barking at him. He still remembered the painful bites that thing gave him.

"Jonouchi man you're a brute," Soul said jokingly. He looked at Maka in shock. "Maka? Arcade? Who are you and what have you done with my meister?" he said with a slight happy smirk. Maka never wanted to do anything fun- only on rare occasions. And even then she was usually seen reading. Only time she wasn't studying was when she was cooking for all of their friends and socializing with them. "I could get used to this," he said to Maka.

"Ah hello there son," Shinigami said lightheartedly when his only son entered. "I see the boy is going to be ok. Stein just reported to me," he said referring to his mirror. Shinigami-sama then said seriously, "You know that I can't allow this act to go unseen. If you would son, please go get Lerena, Renoko, Malik, and Marik. Bring them here. And, do be careful. Especially of our student Lerena." He then turned around to look into the mirror. "And before you go, I want to tell you something. I trust you will not tell any of the other student's this information, it is vital you don't. Patty, Liz, that goes for you two too," he paused then continued, "it seems that Shibusen has been infiltrated by a witch. Seems a witch named Marissa was waiting for Lerena to come back." Shinigami then added, "That is because Lerena too is a witch." Shinigami then turned around again and said in a sillier voice, "Ironic isn't it?"

Once she was on the couch he went to stitching her wound up. Now it was different. Now he was trying to do it and get it done with now that Marik was out there. It didn't take too long, he finally finished and set his equipment off to the side. "There, you are done," he said standing up and walking away. He walked into the bathroom to look at his own wounds. She was right, he had to deal with them soon. He took his shirt off and checked them in the mirror. He left the door half open so he could listen and reply to anything.

"Why do you think they haven't called for us yet?" Marik said with a curious smirk. "Personally I can't wait, they'll probably send their biggest and toughest soul reapers. I can't wait to taste their blood," Marik said taking another bite out of his apple. "I wonder how strong they will be," he added.

"Can't you think of anything else but blood lust?" Malik called out while he dampened a wet cloth with peroxide to clean his wounds. They weren't nearly as deep as Lerena's, but he had more spots to tend to. "Besides have fun with that Marik, I won't be joining you," Malik said.

Marik threw the apple core down on the ground in frustration, "That is your problem. You're a wuss, you're weak. They are going to catch us and probably lock us up for ever, does that not phase you? I know it does."

"I'm not planning to get caught a*****e! We're going to avoid them and escape," Malik said. He wasn't going to let them catch him, but he wasn't going to kill them. He only wanted to kill Atemu, that was the only person he wanted dead. If he had to kill someone, it was to keep himself alive- or if Marik provoked his anger enough. Or, in rare cases, when someone else pushed him to the point of uncontrollable rage.

"You're still pathetic. If you don't fight they'll catch us. Shinigami won't kill us, at least you and me. Afterall, we didn't kill that kid," he said giving a sneaky look at Lerena and Renoko, "But he will lock us up and you'll wish you were dead," he said trying to spark Malik's anxiety. He normally didn't have anxiety, but Marik knew how he felt about being trapped and locked in. After all, that was the reason he was created.

"He's not going to ******** lock us up you ********>" Malik shouted back at his partner as he swung the door open to glare at him. "And he's not going to kill anyone! ********! Stop assuming you dumb s**t! I'll do what is needed to keep going and surviving so don't second guess me again ******** you got that?!" he shouted at him. Once he was done he slammed the door shut and continued tending to his wounds.

"s**t..... testy....." Marik smirked and murmured. He stood up and crossed his arms, "Must be those hormones you girls are always talking about. Always barking and never biting."

Something in the bathroom was smashed against something else, it could be heard outside the bathroom. The door swung open and Malik came storming out with some sort of jagged piece of glass in his hand. He stormed up to Marik, grabbed his shirt, shoved him onto the couch, pinned him and brought the jagged piece to his throat. Marik's constant doubting and his own paranoia (due to Marik also) got to him. Before he could say anything else Malik took the jaggesd piece and sliced the side of Marik's neck. Not enough to endanger his life, not at all, but certainly painful. His eyes were mad with chaos yet held no emotions upon his face.

Marik let out a yelp and kicked Malik off of him. Of course it was painful. He held his hand to his neck and smirked after the initial pain and shock, "That is more like it. Now we will be able to survive." He then looked over at Renoko and Lerena, "You two better be ready to fight when they come, we won't come back for you if you fail."

"Speak for yourself. You're my weapon and you'll do what ever I decide to do," Malik said in a dark voice as he threw the jagged piece down.

Soul sighed a little, "Yup..... same Maka."

Akiko fixed herself once he put her down, rubbing the wrinkles out of her clothing. She began walking with the others. She wasn't sure where the arcade was, so she would have to follow them. As they passed through the hallways she saw a vending machine for water. She stopped to get a bottle, the taste of stomach acid wasn't very appealing in her mouth.

Jonouchi looked down at the dog follow Akiko, and not growling at him. "So uh..... the dog doesn't want to gnaw at my knee caps anymore?" Jonouchi said being cautious.

"For now," Akiko said finally letting out a smile since this morning. "She can sense people, she can tell if they are good or bad- you could say. So it was only natural she attacked you," she said joking a little.

"Hey, I'm a good person," Jonouchi said playfully lowering an eyebrow.

"I didn't say you weren't. But you were being horribly mean before," she replied.

"Hmmmm, point taken," Jonouchi said admitting he was a jerk. "Well no more of that- promise. Ready to start training when this all blows over," Jonouchi said.

Akiko looked from the corner of her eyes and tried to hide an uncontrollable smile. Finally! No more stupid tricks or getting out of training. Maybe actually they can be friends now. She hid her smile and looked back at him, "IF I choose to work with you."

"Pff! I can tell you can't wait. Look at that smile on your face," Jonouchi said knowing she was kidding.

Akiko hid her face in her hands like a child would.

They made it to the arcade within Death City. It was a while since Soul was here. He usually went with BlackStar since BlackStar never studied. The two of them were pretty competitive- usually Soul won. He had to, or else BlackStar would just go on and on about how amazing he was. He looked at Maka and said, "Have you ever even played an arcade machine?" He then looked at ski ball machine and pointed at it, "Jonouchi, bet I could whoop you in ski ball."

"Ski ball is for girls," Jonouchi said.

"I like ski ball," Akiko replied.

Jonouchi pointed at Akiko and said, "My point exactly."

"I'm not sure son. Perhaps because other meisters would have been after her, even outside of Death City. And I don't think they are communicating. Personally, it looked like Marissa was trying to finish off Lerena," Shinigami-sama said. "Although all theories are possible at this time, I'll need more time until I know the intentions of the two witches and the other students who attacked the others. All we know now is that students were attacked," he added. He then looked at his son and his weapons. "Bring them here, all in one piece please. I'll talk to them. Do you think you can take them alone?" he asked but was sure his son could bring them in.

[[that's because I'm an idiot and spelled it wrong XP 'skee ball
Is this Lolo? ]]

Marik scowled at Lerena. "Fine, you can go. But you aren't dragging me down with you!" Marik scowled. She was right, it did anger him. Not because he cared what happened to her, but because they could bring him down to.

Malik finished up tending to his wounds and came out of the bathroom. As soon as he did that Renoko answered the front door. It was easy to tell that he was on his guard. Now he was unsure about what he would do. He had missed when Lerena said she would just give herself in to anger Marik. Malik watched Death the Kid like a vulture, ready to strike if he had to.

Patty put her finger on her chin and said, "I think you should do it Kid." She didn't quite understand that Renoko was playing into his weakness.

"Patty shuush!" she yelled at her sister. She then pointed at Renoko and said, "We don't have time for your childish games. Either choose to come with us now or we'll take you in by force." Liz was still emotional after seeing those other students so beaten up. "Kid, she messing with you, ignore her," she told him.

"If you sign your name we'll come with you with absolutely no struggle," Marik said knowing Kid had that whole OCD thing with just about anything in this world.

Akiko turned her head to watch Atemu and Maka walk away to other games. She was curious to see what he was playing. So she followed behind him. She kept her distance but cocked her head off to the side so she could see past him to see what he was playing. She generally liked playing any game. Most games rather, there were some she didn't like. She wasn't sure what she was going to play at them moment, she just wanted to see what everyone else was playing. She eventually shuffled over more so she could see the screen better. She wanted to ask more about it but instead she just stayed quiet and watched.

"Puzzle games are boring," Soul said. Of course Maka would be interested in games that made you smarter. Games were meant to be fun, not educational. He put his quarter into the skee ball machine. "Highest score wins, simple enough right?" Soul said tossing one of the balls lightly in his hand.

"Some puzzle games are boring..... not all," Jonouchi said to Soul. "But most are pretty annoying....." he added. That was because Jonouchi wasn't very good at games that tested ones mind. He liked fun games, fighting games, sport games, things like that. The only strategy game he enjoyed was duel monsters, that was the only exception. Jonouchi put his quarter into the machine next to Soul's and picked up a ball. "I'll show you who is going to whoop who!" Jonouchi said taking the ball and rolling it as hard as possible. And of course, all it did was hit the top of the gate and land in the zero point hole. "Oh come on! That was the best throw ever!" Jonouchi complained to the machine.

Soul took his shot, rolling it nicely and landing in the 20 point hole. "That is your problem Jonouchi, you always have to use all your power in one shot," Soul said smirking.

"That is how I fight, and that is how I roll," Jonouchi said taking out another ball to just do the same thing again. And again, he got in the zero point hole. "Damn it!!!" he complained again.

[[WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
Can you find Marik? I did XP
