Well, I would like to begin with this... No, this is not what I actually think of the characters... Just thought I would clarify that. () I am, in fact, just letting this one be as random and silly as I can. As for this being Seto/Shizuka... ((cough)) weeeeell, you see that's just always been a random little theory that my best friend and I have had. That he likes her. But then again, everyone seems to love Shizuka, so that's okay. As for whether this will end up with those two dating or anything... Probably not, though I've not written quite that far yet.

As for length (having gotten a few random comments about it) yes, the first chapter was kind of long. That's because I wanted to hurry up and get all of the setup out of the way in one chapter. Especially since I started the writing without all of that and had to go back and write all of it before I could start posting the rest, which I already had started. From here on out, the chapters will be short. And I mean SHORT, as in, of the VERY variety-- not necessarily one dare to chapter, but depending on how much I think needs to be said about each dare, and where a good 'ohmigosh!' kind of place to leave off is, it could be one to three or four dares per chapter. Either way, they aren't going to be very long. In fact, looking back at how uber short some of these things I've written, I might combine at least two of these at a time in order to make this not have a super long chapter list... (However, that does mean that, theoretically, updates should be more often than otherwise.) So, yeah... I'm gonna do that.

Oh, and I know it's been a long time, but my college work was getting to be a real pain. I managed to pull through with a C, a B, and the rest being A's though. ((peace signs and cute cries of "Victory!")

((( line break)))

Seto took the bowl full of dares into his hands and stared down at it. He had the sinking feeling that agreeing to this game was a big mistake... But at least they were all contained... He could keep an eye on all of them this way.

And there wasn't anything valuable or breakable in this room.

"Come on, Kaiba!" Jounouchi called out. "Too scared to start us out?"

Seto glared at him and reached into the bowl. "I'm not afraid, mutt!" he pulled out the first slip of paper and unfolded it. "The person of your choice is now youre slave for the next five minutes," he read aloud. Then he grinned and raised his eyes to Jounouchi.

"Ahhhh... Crap..." Jou moaned.

"Mutt... Roll over and play dead!" Seto smirked.

Laughter filled the room as Jou crawled out of the circle and into an open space. Even Shizuka and Ryou giggled as the londe rolled over then lay there on his back with his hands and feet in the air.

"Good doggy..." Seto snickered. "Now, go fetch!" He grabbed the die and threw it across the room."

Jou muttered angrily as he rolled onto his hands and knees. He started climbing to his feet when Seto's voice rang out. "Bad dog!" Jou froze. "Down on all fours."

Jou groaned and resumed position on hands and knees. He scampered across the room and reached to pick it up in his hand.

"Ah ah ah..."

Jou growled and picked the die up in his mouth. Turning, he trotted over to Seto and spat it out in his lap. Seto's face twisted in disgust as he brushed it off of him and Jou smirked.

"Baka, maka inu..." Seto growled as he wiped his hand on Jou's shirt. Then he turned to Ootogi. "So... What shall I make the mutt do next?"

(((moving on)))

Five minutes-- more like seven before someone brought it up-- later, Jou plopped back down in his spot. He scowled angrily at the lanky brunette across the circle fom him. Seto just grinned as he passed the bowl to Ootogi.

The flamboyant boy took the bowl and grabbed a slip of paper. He unfolded it and read it to himself, raising an eyebrow.

"Well? What is it?" Jou muttered.

"Have you ever gone without underwear? Details!" he read. "Well," he started, then, quite plainly, "no." He turned and started to pass the bowl on. He froze, however, seeing who it was that he was sitting by. His eyes went wide and he leaned away from Mariku.

"Hey!" Seto cried, shoving Ootogi away. "Don't lean on me!"

Ootogi swallowed and held the bowl out to Mariku.

The spikey-haired yami grabbed it from him, grinning. He studied the bowl a moment before snatching one out and setting the bowl aside. "Say something romantic to a person next to you."

There was a silence as the whole group just stared at him. After a while, Mariku turned and looked at Ootogi...

"Something romantic," he said dryly, with no emotion.

((Everyone falls over anime style.))

"That doesn't count!" Anzu shouted.

"Yeah, Mariku," Bakura laughed. "Or are you just a wuss?"

Mariku looked at him silently. Then a smirk twisted his features. Half-rolling and half-spinning, Mariku managed an odd 'flip' that made him end up on his hands and knees in front of Ryou. The albino boy blinked, too startled to do anything but stare into Mariku's dancing eyes fearfully.

"Kkich!" Bakura's eyes widened.

Mariku grinned even as Ryou leaned back away from him, putting his hands back to hold himself up. He swallowed, glancing around as though searching for an escape route.

"You are the shadows and the night to me..." Mariku said in a low, sultry tone. "You're the hottest thing since the Fire Princess. You make me feel hot and burning. I see you every time I close my eyes. You make my heart scream..."

Seto stared, trying to decide on whether he wanted to wait and see just how far this was going to go. Most of the group held much the same manner. Malik was hiding his face in his hands in embarassment. Bakura's fists were clenched tightly.

Ryou had begun trying to get away by this point. Practically crab-walking backwards. Mariku just crawled forward, continuing to gaze into Ryou's eyes. "Your skin is so pale... Creamy and smooth like fresh milk... Soft to the touch..." Mariku reached out and touched Ryou's cheek. The albino jerked his head away as though it burned. Mariku just continued advancing.

"Your hair is so soft and lush... It frames your face beautifully... And such a beautiful, pure white..."

Bakura blinked suddenly and touched his own hair. Then he looked down at his pale arms.

"You have a very cute nose. And the shape of your chin is so sexy..."

Bakura poked Malik. The blonde Egyptian raised his head and looked at Bakura.

"You have such great fashion sense." Ryou's back was now flat against the wall, his legs stretched out in front of him. Mariku was over top his legs, still on hands and knees, his face just inces from Ryou's. "It may just be jeans and a striped T-shirt, but baby it works for you."

Malike and Bakura just stared at each other.

"Ryou-chan... You have the longest, sexiest legs I've ever seen..." Mariku placed a hand on Ryou's thigh and ran it down the length of his leg, stopping just below the knee and squeezing. Ryou shuddered, letting out a terrified squeak.

Seto looked from Mariku and Ryou to Bakura. Then he looked back at the two. Had this gone far enough? Should he stop it?

"And your lips..." Mariku touched Ryou's trembling lips with the tip of his finger. "Such soft, beautiful lips..." he whispered, leaning his face closer to Ryou's.

Four shouts rang out at the same time.

"Yaaammiiiiiii!" Ryou shrieked out to Bakura for help.

"YAMI!" Malik yelled angrily.

"Mariku!" Bakura growled even as he began climbing to his feet, fists clenched tightly.

The final shout came from Seto. "Stop! NO! Not in my house!"

Mairku was on his feet in a second, laughing maliciously. His amused, narrowed eyes scanning the group. "Well... If you'd been willing to let me slide with 'something romantic' than we wouldn't be here now would we?" He smirked as he walked back to sit in the circle again.

"That was uncalled for Mariku," Isis stated coldly. Most of the others in the group nodded thier agreement.

"I believe it's time that we move on now..." Seto said slowly and deliberately.

"Who's turn is it now?" Honda asked.

"It's, um, Ryou's..." Anzu answered.

They all turned to look at Ryou, who was slowly climbing to his feet. He was shaking from terror and gripped the sill of the window he was next to for support.

Bakura growled wrathfully, glaring at Mariku maliciously. The blonde yami just grinned and winked at him. Bakura shuddered.

"That's just creepy..." Malik stated.

And now, just for the record, I would like to note that I hate my internet connection here at home. That is to say, that the internet connection here at home doesn't like my computer. Don't know why. We've hooked it up to three different modems and all of them have the same problem, so it isn't the modem. It's just the connection and for some reason it hates me. Thus, my updating might be limited over the summer too, but not because I'm busy. Only because I'm constantly having to fight with this connection to get online and then I have to hurry and try to do everything before it decides to start kicking me off again.

So yeah, tell me what you think and all. Hopefully the updating will be more often from now on. And I'm planning to get back to work on my next serious fic here soon too. So hopefully I'll be able to finish writing it and get it up soon.
