Welcome to Gaia! ::

((i gtg to class so I'll post in like 6 hours haha long classes today))

(( eek i dont blame you i would never go on those after the decap thing))

Seto had a beautiful, sexy blond woman in front of him with a very nice body and yet only cared for one reason, to piss Joey off. He not only wanted to make Joey miserable but he wanted his attention. He was paying more attention to Joey then Mai even though he pretended to be very interested in her. "Actually Im giving up whats left of my free time to tuttor this moron." Seto said and pointed his thumb at Joey, shooting the blonde a little glare.

When Joey mentioned Atem Sam suddenly felt awkward between the two. She was supposed to be going after Atem tonight. He was who she really wanted. But if she failed she didnt want to lose Joey too. She couldnt flirt with both of them could she? She was brought out of her thoughts when Jeoy mentioned her drink and she blushed a little and giggled. "Yeah its the best right?" She said with a wink. She couldnt flirt with Atem so openly cause she loved him but Joey she felt comfortable to joke around with like this.

He nodded and smiled. Atem did give him a little more confidence and so did her reactions. It really made him excited. "Haha thanks Akiko..." he said blushing. He couldnt tell if she just said that because he had complimented her or if she really meant it. "You know, I dont think the others like sushi as much, we should go another night to a sushi place.... just the two of us..." He said and ate one of the sushi hearts.

Seto rolled his eyes and took a sip of his drink. Joey was a moron, thats the way he saw it. A moron who excited him to a point that confused him. But right now all he felt towards the blond was anger. Everytime Joey looked at him or talked to him he was serous and upset looking, and quite boring too. Was this all because he was gay? Joey usually fought with him or if they werent fighting he had actually been nice to him. He glared at Joey again. Thinking these things just made him want to be meaner to Joey.

Sam smiled at Mai when she complimented her. "I guess I'm getting used to it from going to some of Seto's business parties. Its fun I guess." she said. Nothing beat comfy sweats or a swimsuit in the sun. She glanced at Akiko as Mai did. "No she wanted to. Well maybe she didnt like the make up but I think its a pain too." She said with a small laugh. She blushed when Joey's arm wrapped around her and he said he couldnt resist touching her. She felt happy, she felt wanted and pretty. But it soon got crushed with Atem pointing out that Joey is like that with every girl so she looked not so amused anymore and shrugged his arm off saying, "Thats true."

"Watch it." Seto snapped at Joey. he didnt like him touching his sister in anyway! Luckily sam shrugged him off.

((oops I had forgotten about tea... damn I'm having writersblock with her))

"great!" He said. He would make sure not to mention it around the others, especially Joey or they would want to come. Atem would understand so he could tell him. He would need some advise of course. It seemed kind of like a date. "haha, this seems kind of like a date, haha... weird huh?" He said to just try to see a reaction from her. He hoped he wasnt making her feel uncomfortable but he was trying to hint a bit. "Italian? Yeah I'd love to try your mom's cooking! Is your mom a good cook?" He asked, wanting to learn a little more about her family.

Tea didnt even have to say anything, before they knew it Joey was hitting on Sam again. She smirked and scooted her chair a little closer to Atem. Since Sam was destracted, maybe she could distract Atem. She folded her arm under her chest and leaned to make her cleavage show more as she leaned her head on her other hand that was propped up on the table cutely and smiled at him. "So Atem, now thats schools over we'll have a lot of time to do things. We should go on another date like last time!" she said cheerfully.

Sam's head snapped in Tea's direction a little quickly and she looked surprised. "You guys went on a date?"

Tea smirked. "Yeah, we went to the arcade and the card store and out for milk shakes." She said cheerfully. "Oh and to the museum too, we saw you there Mai, remember?"

((Sorry I dont have time to post I'll be gone all weekend))

[[hee hee, Seto's response made me smile a lot XD ]]

Joey had to restrain himself from smiling so much. He liked seeing that reaction from Seto, but he wasn't sure why. "Nothing that would really concern you," he said smiling, loving how he was angering Seto.

Atem rolled his eyes at Joey's boasting. "Truly nothing to worry about. I mean, the most contact you've had with her was maybe a hug from behind. Just a friendly hug," Atem said making it sound like nothing. But he didn't do it to protect Joey from Seto's anger, he did it to demean Joey.

"Oh I don't know Atem, I think holding hands is a biggy don't you?" he said taking Sam's hand and bring it up to show both Atem and Seto. However, he was looking and smirking at Atem.

Atem couldn't help but growl at Joey. He really hated the way he's been treating Sam, like she was his. Not even, he treated her like a possession, like a back up plan. He balled his fist as he glared at him. "You flaunt it around as if she was the only one you have set your eyes on," he hissed at Joey.

Mai sat still and watched the two of them bicker back and forth using only her eyes. "Ok kids, just calm down," she said taking the last sip of her drink. Things were getting kinda heated weren't they? She especially thought Joey's actions were strange. Sure he was a bit of a perv, but he's never been a womanizer. Or desperate for someone. And to brag like that in front of Seto, what was he getting at?

Akiko chuckled a little but sweatdropped a little, "Heh, I did when I was was younger, for about a year. But that's cause some jerk stuck bubblegum in my hair and my mom had to cut it short. Plus I was kinda scrawny." She then looked away for a bit, why was he telling him that? She felt a little better when Yugi said he's never been on a date before- she kinda thought he would have been. He was the King of Games. But more importantly, she thought he would have been on a date with Tea. She then looked up to see Tea there, hovering over them. "Eatin' sushi," she said kinda cutely herself but really only to the point. Any other person and she would have offered a piece, but not to Tea.

[[sorry, ended up straying away to fill out an online application. OooOoOoo Gaia is different looking O.O that's why it was bugging out on me before. Yea, that's a good idea for Mai to go out there and try to talk to him.]]

Joey just smirked. Deep inside of him he kinda felt bad, but he was still pissed about what happened between the two of them. Not like Kaiba would think- not because he was straight and Kaiba was gay. He was still aching about what Kaiba said to him- that he was worthless. And also, because he seemed to have Mai's attention. He was just as shocked as Kaiba when he grabbed Joey's wrist. His heart was beating practically out of his chest, it was really intense for him. And he liked it, as much as he didn't want to admit it. But it didn't last long. He was hoping he would do it again after holding Sam's hand but it didn't work. Instead he got up and got Sam to let go of his hand while giving Kaiba his cigarettes. He didn't even know that he smoked. Joey then looked shocked at Sam when she said Atem held her hand before. "I'm sure it was only in a friendly way," he commented back. Did Atem seriously have to butt into this? Sam has been the only girl to give Joey a chance and he wants to take that away from him? Even though Mai was there, but what if Mai was into somebody else? He couldn't lose Sam!

"Rather it be friendly then just to piss off her brother," Atem commented back after Kaiba stepped outside. He took another sip of his hot tea. He really thought that with Mai here, he would be distracted from Sam, but since Mai seemed more interested in Kaiba, Joey just tried harder to flirt with Sam. Maybe now that Kaiba stepped outside Joey and Mai could converse and leave the two of them alone. He peeked over at Sam, did she really like Joey that much more then him? He did feel a lot more better when Sam told Joey that he held her hand already. But still, Sam still seemed interested in Joey. Or perhaps she didn't want to hurt Joey's feelings? Or maybe she didn't want to hurt his own feelings? He was still determined to make her his, but he was starting to worry a bit. Since Tea was away, he decided to ask Sam, "Tomorrow we are going to the beach right? The part you and your brother own?" He thought he would ask about it now so Tea wouldn't invite herself, again.

Mai watched them again, this was rather strange. Kaiba seemed a little too against Joey and Sam together. She would expect that if Atem was displaying his feelings for Sam- since the two of them were rivals. But Joey? Sure he didn't like him, but this much detest? She knew that Kaiba was gay [[I don't know how she should know he's gay but she does XP, did he ever publically announce it? I forget ]], perhaps did he? She stood up and reached into her purse. "A smoke does sound good right about now," she said taking out a small tin with a few cigarettes in them.

Joey looked up at Mai shockingly, "You smoke?!" He never knew she did.

"On very rare occasions. I'm not addicted to them so I don't have to constantly smoke. But a nice clover cig sounds good right now," she explained.

"Well let me come outside with you then. Then we can talk," he said not wanting her to be outside alone with Kaiba. Even if Kaiba wasn't outside, he wanted her near.

"Nuh uh sweety. You smell to nice to have the smell of smoke on you. I'll be right back," she said then smiled a little, "it's not like I'm going to leave or anything. Give me five minutes ok?" She then walked out of the door to meet up with Kaiba. She took one cigarette out and tapped it on the tin case. "That was an interesting little show in there Seto, don't you think?" she said putting the cigarette in her mouth and lighting it. "Joey is a bit of a firework isn't he?" she added. She wanted to see if she was indeed correct.

Akiko hadn't been paying attention to anything that was going on behind them- except she could hear Joey from time to time since he was a lot louder then everyone else. But she still payed no mind to it. Akiko dreaded when Tea asked to have a piece, she really thought Yugi would give them theirs. Thankfully, he told her to basically get her own- but in a nice way. Akiko didn't care, she was mentally laughing at her. And she was happy. She smiled and nodded when he asked to split the last piece, "Okie doki."

[[should we have them order food at the hibatchi soon?]]

((omg! I have to tell you what happened to me today! ok so I was driving home from my dads after I went to visit my grams grave and I was stuck in a little traffic. I was almost home when a kitten ran in front of my car! So I step on the breaks and get out of my car, looking for it. The lady behind me got out and said it was under my car. I was laying on the ground looking for it (Lots of cars were backed up now and pissed but I was not going to drive away with that kitten under my car!) So I saw it climb up into the pipes. We had to turn my car off and open up the hood. Luckily it was ok in the corner. I took it home. It is all dirty so I think it was a stray. It was so afraid of everything at first and still kind of is. It has some burn marks on its paws but its alive and well. It really likes me now but my mom wont let me keep it cause we have 3 cats already but I saved him and i want him!))

((haha mai is going to be trying to hook everyone up lol))

Sam frowned a little when Atem said that it was just friendly. She thought it meant more. There she goes again thinking it was more then it really was. She felt so stupid! Of course Atem only liked her as a friend. Well she did still have Joey to fall back on. Then Joey focoused on Mai and Sam felt like she would lose him too. She quickly laced her hand with his. "Well I like holding your hand Joey, even if it is just to make Seto mad." She said feeling sad about Atem. She heard him ask about the beach and smiled. "Yeah deffinetly! I cant wait!" she said. She really did love the beach, thats why Seto bought one. She couldnt help but grin thinking about seeing Atem shirtless. She was looking forword to it, thinking they could have a lot of fun but now she felt a little discouraged.

((Yeah Kaiba could have pulically announced it I dont remember either haha oh but I deff want him to say hes bi even though he likes men more. Like I always say, Kaiba is lucky if he finds someone he likes and that likes him so gender really is the last of his worries haha))

Seto saw Mai come outside and he looked at her with narrowed, cautious eyes. He had no intereast in her when Joey wasnt around. He rolled his eyes and breathed out some smoke after placing the cig between his fingers. "I cant stand to be around him. He pisses me off so much." he said, detest dripping in every word. "Especially when he flirts with my sister." He said and took another drag.

Yugi used his chopsticks to divide the heart shaped sushi into two before grabbing one of the pieces and holding it up to her mouth for her with a smile. He wished Tea would have just gone away. She was really ruining the moment but he knew he only wanted to focous on Akiko.

Tea huffed and walked back over to her seat, crossing her arms and legs angrilly. She then looked curious as she heard something about a beach. They were going to the beach?
