Welcome to Gaia! ::

((You're back! Yay!
Seto: Whoopee, another cos.player...
Shut up Seto. Happy dance with me.))

Jou looked at him uncertainly. Damn it, he wanted to make sure he ate something at least, he wasn't hungry himself... ((Just what exactly is Duke holding? *is half asleep and at work*))

((Yay Duke! A coke addict too! Or Excstasy... pretty sure that's white powder when not in pill form... man... he just keeps getting better and better. *giggles*))

"Are you... are you serious? I'm not going to get high. Not here and not now." Jou had been a smoker at one point and he'd usually suplemented that with something a little nicer, but never anything like this...

"Duke, I'm not going to get high. Not on that stuff. I have other things to worry about. Look, I dunno what's wrong with me but I'm getting out of here." Joey went back in the general direction of the room he'd left everyone in angrily. He was fuming at himself. He just knew it, he'd been being used the whole time. Damnit, why couldn't he find somebody with easier to deal with problems, like Kaiba for instance.
'What the hell am I thinking?' His eyes widened. 'No. No way are you getting anywhere near Kaiba. Now go talk to Honda, he'll know what to do.'

(Aaaaannnnd some nice people we haven't heard from in awhile. mrgreen )

Yuugi rolled his eyes and looked at his shoelaces. He was getting tired of waiting here. He felt somewhat pathetic. "Sometimes, it seems like he thinks I'm going to commit scuicide or something," he mused aloud. He banged his head against the wall, bringing his gaze up to the camera in the corner. "I'm always being watched by somebody. If its not him, there is always someone else." He sighed internally before picking himself off the floor. <'I understand that he's concerned about me, but honestly--why? Is there a rational reason for it all? I mean--is it only because we share a body? That I am his 'aibou'?"> he shook his head sofly at his line of thinking. He knew that it wasn't true, but he couldn't help but feel as if he was holding his Yami back.

"He's keeping secrets from me because he can't trust me with whatever it is. Isn't he always saying to trust him? What about trusting me? This is a two-way-street relationship, not a one-lane-highway. Should I not trust him for not trusting me? What is he hiding from me? It's got to be something important..." Yugi thought as he wandered to one of the hallway entrances. <"One thing is for sure. I'm tired of waiting for him to show up. I'll just go back without him.">

Yami and Malik had been walking along in silence for quite a while now. They should be there soon--wherever yugi was. <"As soon as I get there I know he is going to ask me what I was doing--in any other instance, I wouldn't mind telling him...but, this is different. If I tell him, he might loose his respect for me... or think I'm disgusting or something... He'll probably freak out; thinking that all of those times when I comforted him, I was perhaps yearning for something more..."> he slowed his pace until he wasn't even walking and leaned against the wall. For the moment, he had forgotten that Malik was there. He was consumed with his own thoughts, and his thoughts didn't concern the existance of the boy. "Ra, what should I do? if I tell him, He'll hate me... If I don't... he'll hate me." he asked barely audible.

"-censored- Jou, why not? I do it every day before and during classes at school, in my gameshop and on the streets without you even noticing. it''s so good I want to share it with you. Don''t leave me now I''ve offered to share my most precious experience with me... "

"No he won''t..." Malik said softly, as he walked closer to Yami.
The look in his eyes and the expression on his face showed he was Yamo no Malik again. "I''ve always loved you, my pharoa..." (he misunderstood ><)

"-very censored- Jounouchi! Stop right there and listen to me!!!" Duke got up from the ground, still holding the white powder. "You are NOT going to leave me alone. I need someone to watch me... To 'babysit' as we call it... Would you just... Wait here? We'll go back together, alright? Just let me..." Otogi sat down again.
"..do this..." He got some things from his pocket, and put of his belt.
He put the lighter powder back where it came from, and started putting his belt round his left upper arm.
He put some stuff in a spoon, and heated it with a loghter. He then put it in a needle (you know what I mean) and looked for a nice spot in his arm to put it in.

Yami no Yuugi looked up through his bangs at the darkness within Malik. He recognized him immediately. Even though the two looked slightly different, it wasn't looks that Yami had recognized. In fact, it was everything else. How he had moved, the hardness in his tone, and the general mysterious aura. He pursed his lips and brought himself off the wall. Even if Yuugi and his friends had found it in their hearts to forgive Malik, Yami still hadn't forgiven the darkness inside of him for what cruel things he had done to them--but what was he saying now? He was still doing it.
Somehow, he had figured out that Yami was into men, not women, and he was trying to use it against him. If he had truly found out about him and Seto, then there would be no use in lying about it--trying to deny it.

"Right," Yami said in a sardonic tone with a smile to match, "Thats why you tried to take over my throne... resulting in elaborate attempts to destroy... each... individual...aquaintance-of-mine. thank-you, it-all-makes-sense-now." (He doesn't believe him, obviously...)

Yuugi paused his line of thinking. He could hear someone speaking. The tone was sarcastic, and sounded one HECK of a lot like his Yami's. It sounded as if he was talking to someone else, but yuugi didn't know who. He brought his head around the corner of the hall, and saw that it was in fact, his Yami and Malik. He quickly backtracked, deciding against announcing his presence. <"Maybe I can use this to my advantage... Maybe Yami will tell Malik about whatever it is that he is keeping from me--that way, even if he never tells me...which, I hope he does... but if he doesn't, I can have some idea...">

"Oh... okay, good..." Kage no Tenshi acted. When they entered the room, she stepped quietly in behind mokuba. She knew who was in the room, but she was surprised to see that Yami and Malik--and of course, Yuugi weren't back yet. when she had left them, there was no way that they could have gotten lost-- 'I must be missing some sort of interaction between Yami and Yuugi... I wonder if he's telling him about whats up with him and Seto--Augh! That would have been important to know! Damnit, Mokuba! Why did you have to invite me here?!' she mentally yelled. "You have a lot of friends..." she whispered to her new 'younger brother'.
