Author�s Note: I bet you all thought I died didn�t you? ducks knives and axes thrown at her Hey! Watch it! Sorry, you lot. I know haven�t update at all this new year, but hey, school had caught up with me and buried me in piles and piles of activities and home works. We just had our Prom last Feb. 1 and we�re about to have our Formal Dining coming this Feb. 15 and guess what, I�ve been appointed as the over-all leader (translation: pack mule). Wish me luck.
On to the chapter.

�Shit!� Yami cursed, glancing at his watch, �I�m late! Yugi�s going to barbeque me alive!�
The lithe teen darted as fast as he could on the stone walkway, hoping his brother wouldn�t torture him too much after finding out that he completely blanked on their arrangement to meet in the lobby at 9 AM sharp. Yami had woken up miraculously early at around 7:30 in the morning and found himself wandering the �Lost Gardens� of the resort. Ironically, the name of the said garden had all to do with getting lost. After half and hour of frolicking with butterflies and whatnot, he had gotten hopelessly lost.
Yami groaned and looked past the neatly trimmed rosebushes and prune trees.
Prune trees? What the hell are prune trees doing here? He thought incredulously.
The soft snapping of twigs brought his attention back to reality.
�Now is not the time to think about this, Yami!� the tri-colored teen whispered frantically, �You�re lost in some god-forsaken jungle, where some pervert could jump out of the foliage and kill you!�
Yami could hear his heart thumping wildly against his chest.
Calm down. It was probably just the wind rustling a few branches. That�s all it was, right?
Minutes passed and Yami let out the breath of relief. �Listen to me. I sound like a crazy-person. I should go��
Rustle, rustle.
Yami let out a small meep. Oh shit! I�m going to die! I�m going to die! I�m too young to be maimed and murdered! Waaaaaaa�
He had begun stepping back slowly when he heard an audible crack of small twig behind him and the warmth of a body pressing against his back. Yami yelped and turned around sharply.
�Please don�t kill me!� he begged, �I�m only eighteen! Although my engagement to that bastard really is a good push towards suicide� Not the point here, Yami� PLEASE DON�T KILL ME!�
What am I doing? I�m about to be killed and I�m thinking of him
Yami whimpered.
�� I think you�ve got the wrong person��
Yami looked up at the source of the amazingly sexy voice and saw bright white hair.
�Whoa,� he murmured, straightening up, �You�re not a pervert or a murderer?�
The white-haired man laughed. �Sorry, but no. I take it you�re lost?�
�Was it that obvious?� Yami asked sheepishly.
A laugh. �Actually, the whole �I�m-lost-in-a-god-forsaken-jungle� sort of put me on the right track.�
Yami sighed and bowed. �Sorry. I was kind of freaking out of over there.�
�I see��
Yami scratched his head. �Um� could you, maybe, help me get out of here? My brother is going to kill me when he realizes that I�m late.�
�Does your brother look freakishly like you?�
Yami nodded vigorously. �You know him?�
The albino-man leaned forward and whispered in Yami�s ear. The said teen turned red.
�He�s right behind you,�
�Ack!� Yami shouted, hiding behind his new acquaintance and grabbing his arm.
A laugh sounded throughout the empty garden.
�Hey!� Yami complained, �That�s not funny! You don�t know how scary Yugi can be! Who are you anyway?�
The man paused from laughing. �I�m Bakura.�
�Bakura?� He nodded. �I�m Yami.�
Bakura kissed Yami�s hand and murmured, �Pleased to meet you, Yami.�
Yami drew his hand back slowly and smiled. �Quite the charmer.�
Bakura ran a hand through his white hair. �I have been known to charm quite a few men and women.�
�Humble too.�
Bakura grinned and held out his arm. �Lets? I see that your fear for your brother surpasses all things, so it�s best not to keep him waiting.�
�Too right you are.�

Yugi gritted his teeth and glanced at his watch.
�Where is he? It�s been an hour and half!�
Ryou gave him a pat on the shoulder and said, �Calm down, Yugi. Mind your blood pressure. Yami is always late.�
�We should just leave,� Mai suggested, �It�s been over an hour and my make-up is melting.�
�I think that�s just your face.� Ryuuji whispered.
A swift thwack to the head shut him up.
�Want to try that again?�
Ryuuji rubbed his aching head. �No ma�am.�
�Thought so,� Mai said, once again applying another coat of powder and lipstick to her face.
�You should try going without make-up, Mai� Ryou suggested, �You look pretty even without all that gunk on your skin.�
Mai�s withering glare quickly silenced the albino boy.
Yugi, who had been tapping his foot impatiently on the ground, threw his arms up in aggression. �That�s it! I�m killing him, brother or not!�
The soft patter of twin boots met the boy�s ears as he turned sharply around. The icy look he shot his brother could have frozen hell over.
�Where. The Hell. Were. You?�
Yami judged by the Tone� in his brother�s voice that he was not happy at all.
�I got lost?� Yami offered sheepishly.
Yugi�s glare went down a notch. �I should keep you on a leash.�
Bakura snickered behind the older teen. Yami narrowed his eyes at him and elbowed his stomach roughly.
�Shut up, Bakura.�
�Who�s your friend, Yami?� Ryuuji asked, peering over the said boy�s shoulder.
Yami pulled the white-haired man in front and said, �This is Bakura. He sort of helped me get� un-lost.�
�He actually mistook me for a perverted old man,� Bakura commented randomly.
Yami briefly turned red. �Yeah, well, you dolook like an old man with all that white hair.�
Bakura ran a hand through his shocking white locks and grinned. �Girls and guys find it hot. Right, miss?�
Mai giggled and gave him a sly wink. �Definitely.�
Yugi stared at him. ��Guys? You�re gay?�
Bakura flashed his sharp canines. �I prefer men over women.�
�That�s too bad,� Mai said, pouting.
Bakura slung his arm over Mai�s shoulder and whispered, �Don�t worry. I like to hook up girls every now and then.�
Yami rolled his eyes. �You are such a skeeze.�
�And proud of it.�
Bakura smiled at Ryuuji. �You her boyfriend?�
�Ha!� Ryuuji shouted, �That hag?�
A vein popped on Mai�s forehead.
�I�d rather date my grandma�s poker buddy.�
Swoosh. Thump.
�Mai?� Ryou mumbled uncertainly, �I think he�s unconscious.�
�Serves that annoying git right.�
�They never get along.� Ryou said to Bakura.
�That�s too bad,� Bakura commented, �They�d make a great couple.�
�I realize you�re hot and all,� Mai said sweetly, �But please, don�t make me hit you.�
The deadly glint in her eye and the sickeningly sweet smile sent a shudder through the albino man�s spine.
Scary woman�
Ryou shook his head and checked the time.
�Guys, if you still want to catch the second showing of Sweeney Todd we better leave now.�
Yugi crossed his arms grumpily and headed for the car parked outside. �Go tell that to Yami.�
�Now who�s overreacting?� Yami shot back, dragging Ryuuji�s body behind him.
Bakura looked at Ryou and asked, �Do they fight like this too?�
Ryou blushed and nodded. �Always.�
The taller albino unwound his arm from Mai�s shoulders and pulled Ryou to the car.
�Come on. We wouldn�t want to piss the little dude off.�
Ryou turned redder and grabbed Mai�s hand.
�To the cinema!� Bakura shouted, pumping his fist up in the air.
Twin glares shot out at him from the car.
�Shut up!�
Bakura piled into the backseat beside the unconscious Ryuuji and grinned widely.
�I can tell we�re all going to get along.�

Seto sipped his coffee and gazed at the blonde man in front of him who was currently wolfing down three burgers and two strawberry shakes. And don�t forget the jumbo fries.
�So� when�d you get here?� Malik asked him.
Jou took a gulp of his shake and smiled. �A couple of hours before you did.�
�You�re with the water polo team right?�
Jou nodded. �Yeah. They�re all out on the beach.�
Seto put his drink. �Why aren�t you with them?�
�Because I was waiting for you,� he replied simply, �You took quite a long time.�
Honda snorted. �That�s because I certain someone forgot where he put his car keys and had to search the whole house for it.�
Marik glared at the brunette. �You better stop talking about that if you know what�s good for you.�
Jou snickered. �Let me guess, he found it in the ignition didn�t he?�
Marik�s glare turned into a blush. Malik smiled and gave his boyfriend�s hand a pat.
�Don�t worry, babe. At least you didn�t mistake the blonde haired car attendant for a girl.�
Jou laughed loudly. �Seriously, Hiro?�
Honda pouted. �Well, he had long blonde hair and� and he was facing away from us!�
Everyone laughed harder.
�Priceless,� Jou said between laughs.
Seto smiled and stared out the glass pane of the hotel�s restaurant. He saw familiar car park in front of the entrance and a group of people plus one very familiar white haired teen came out. The feeling of nostalgia grew with every passing moment.
Bakura? Seto blinked rapidly. What�s he doing here with Yami?
Marik looked at Seto�s line of vision and said, �Hey, isn�t that your fianc� and his friends?�
Seto felt annoyance bubble up in him at seeing his soon-to-be husband.
Jou leaned forward and tapped the CEO�s nose. �You don�t look too happy at seeing your significant other.�
�He�s not my significant other. More of a trophy husband.�
Jou laughed merrily. �Glad to hear that.�
Honda turned around to look at the group of people clustered outside the restaurant.
�Seto, isn�t that your cousin? Bakura something?� he asked.
�Cousin? Seto has cousins?� Malik smirked, �I didn�t know you had a big family Seto.�
Seto ignored the smaller blonde and kept on staring outside. He saw Yami wave goodbye to his brother, Mai and Ryou. Then he along with Bakura and Ryuuji headed for the restaurant�s maitre�d.
Malik�s eyes glinted mischievously. �Seto��
Seto snapped his attention back to the table. �What?�
�Since you�re getting married and all, why don�t we invite them to sit with us?�
Seto�s glare could have frozen hell over. �N��
�Great!� Malik grinned and shouted, �Yami! Over here! Come sit over here!�
�I�m killing you later, Malik.� Seto grumbled, downing all of his coffee.
Malik just smiled cheekily at him.

�I�ll see you guys later then?� Yami asked.
Yugi nodded and said, �Yeah. Let�s all go to the beach and have a luau before your party.�
�Later.�
Yami waved at his brother and started for the restaurant�s main doors.
�I�m starving,� he mumbled, �You said you knew the owner of this place right?�
Bakura nodded and held the door open for Ryuuji and Yami. �Yeah. My mom had a bunch of clients around here in Okinawa.�
�What�s your mother�s job?� Ryuuji asked.
Bakura smiled wryly. �She used to be Vice President of a big company.�
�Ah,� Ryuuji said nodding, �Where�s she now?�
�In Britain.�
Yami looked around the place was about to say �table for two� when he heard someone shout his name.
�Yami! Over here! Come sit over here!�
Ishtar? What�s he doing� Oh right. Seto.
Ryuuji grinned and grabbed Yami�s hand. �Come on. Your fianc� awaits you.�
Yami made a face and let his body go slack as his friend pulled him. Bakura snickered loudly.
�I take it you don�t like your fianc�?�
Yami gagged. �Thinking about this awful engagement makes me want to hurl.�
�Hurl on him then,� Bakura suggested, �Seeing as he is the cause of all your problems.�
Yami grinned and said, �I would if I could.�
�Then why don�t you?�
Seto�s table was looming a few feet from them.
�My brother inherited only a tenth of my mom�s capability to turn into the Hulk when provoked.�
�Ah.�
Yami snickered and said, �Don�t worry, I have no intention of dying before I�m ninety nor do I have death wish.�
The blonde-slash-black-slash-red haired teen sat down in front of Malik. Bakura stayed silent and eyed the people sitting around the table.
Dude with brown hair. Dude with blonde hair. Dude with darker blonde hair. Smaller dude with darker blonde hair. Annoying first-cousin who made his and his mother�s life miserable. Ryuuji. Yami.
Wait. Rewind.
Seto Kaiba.
Bakura felt anger seep into his body and cracked a smile. He pulled out a chair beside Yami�s and casually draped his arm on the back of the chair. The look he gave the CEO was anything other than friendly.
�Why, if it isn�t Seto. How long has it been, dear cousin?�
Seto�s glare hardened as he looked at the albino man sitting beside his fianc�. Was this jealousy he was feeling? It couldn�t be. He loved Katsuya. Jonouchi Katsuya. Seto then blinked and returned Bakura�s icy smile.
Not long enough. �A few years, Bakura. How�s Sumire-obasan doing?�
�Just fine. She�s been attending ballets and the like all year.�
Bakura�s look turned from sarcastic to insulting.
�So, has the company progressed since you�ve become CEO? I remember Kaiba Corp�s glory days when my father was still president.�
Seto�s mouth remained tightly shut. Jou glared daggers at Bakura.
Yami�s mouth dropped open.
�You�re a Kaiba?�
Bakura nodded. ��Fraid so, Yami.�
Yami groaned.
�Isn�t this fun?� Malik asked happily.
