Author's Notes: Read if you want...
Ryu-Sama - Note. When WuFei is speaking Chinese, it will be written like this, "(see?)" When others are speaking Japanese it will be written like so, "\so?\"
And I must say... I'm so sorry for the pitiful length of the last chapter. And I was gone much longer than I had expected to be.
I am very sad. Nobody reviewed!!!!

He looked back at his casket.
It was empty.

Katsuya was skipping class... again. If you were to ask him why... He would say that he saw something out the window... and in trying to identify it... he got lost.
So, at this point, he was walking past the oldest cemetery in town. And if you asked him how he got there, he would say, "Ya see, dere was dis 'thing'... and I wen' ta go lookit it... and now I'm here."
As it were, there was no one around to ask him either question. So he went into the cemetery... No one would really want to ask him why... but if they did, he would say that he heard a scream... but no one would believe him...
So he wandered deeply into the cemetery. After a very short while he found where the yelling was coming from. A crypt. How bizarre... He read the Epitaph. "Wow... Dis is old... heh... Poor guy was only 15. He was younger den me... What's dis 'in defense of justice' mean? Jeez what an old thing... 1851..."
"Is there some one out there?" called a voice.
Katsuya screamed. "Nan de k'so!!"
"Help? Open this up, please? I can't get out..."
'Ma... It can't be that bad, ne?' Katsuya searched for a moment and found a latch. He tugged on it hard. It snapped off. "Shimatta..."
"What happened?"
"It broke..."
"............... How bad?"
"Bad enough."
There was silence for a moment. "I guess that means that I'm going to die again..."
Katsuya was mildly disturbed by that. It was a male voice, so, he could assume it to be the first name written. "Wouldja happen to be Chang WuFei?"
"Yes," came the slightly disgruntled voice.
"I kin get som'n who kin getcha out..." Katsuya shuffled his feet. "It'll take a bit though... Kin ya wait?"
"I've got all the time in the world..." came the dry respnse.
Katsuya ran to another part of the cemetery, and glanced around hurriedly. He whistled sharply, concentrating on what he wanted. A fairly small dragon dropped from the sky. It rumbled at him.
"I know, short notice, but I really need a ride to school... could you do that for me? I'm in a very big hurry."
It grumbled again, nodding.

WuFei slumped against the wall. It had been so long since he had had to worry about food. Talk about annoying. For the first time he noticed the condition of his clothes. Either they were remarkable well preserved, or when he was revived, so were they. He wasn't sure if the bumpkin he spoke to would be able to help.
Acting on a sudden impulse, he checked his death wound.
Gone. Not a trace was left of it...
"(Creepy...)"
A soft voice echoed in his ear. "(What's wrong, husband?)"
He reached in the direction of her voice. "(What do you think is wrong, Meilan?)"
She gasped. "(What happened?)"
"(I do not know.)"
She grew annoyed, "(How could you not know? You are alive and you do not know how?)" He felt an icy rush as she tried to hit him. "(It was that thing, wasn't it? That creature that tried to seduce you by offering you life?)"
WuFei snorted, sounding oddly pissy, "(That was over fifty years ago. Do you think I would have rejected him if I wanted to be alive?)" He scowled in her general direction. "(And stop calling me husband. 'Til death do us part', remember?)"
He felt another icy swoosh. And suddenly, there was someone in the room with him.
A high voice asked, "Who are you talking too?"
"My wife."
"(I thought you said, 'Until death do us part'.)" Meilan's voice murmured in his ear.
"(Silence!)" he growled.
"Eh..." the girl said, "Do you want out of here or not?"
WuFei stared at her momentarily. "Yes. I do want out."
"Uhm... Take my hand then." She held her hand out.
He stared at it for a moment before taking it. Then she pulled him through the wall..
Once outside, she glared at a blonde man who stood next to the tomb. "You owe me, like, totally so much, Katsuya. Especially since you're like, one of the bad guys."
Katsuya's eyes widened and he sniffed. "I'm not bad... Not really... And I don't even cheat in poker! Lance does, yanno... but don't tell him I told you that..."
The girl looked back at WuFei. "Like, what's your name?"
WuFei tried to look down at her. It was hard, though, considering that she was two inches taller than him. "Chang WuFei."
"Kitty Pryde," she said cheerfully. He noticed, randomly, that she was wearing pink. He didn't like pink. He tried not to shudder over it.
Katsuya grinned and stated proudly, "Jounouchi Katsuya."
Kitty looked at the markings engraved on the door of the tomb. Once she read the name, she squealed and ran out of the cemetery.
Katsuya covered his mouth, snickering. "I've seen creepier things... Mai without her makeup... man, she was pissed... Kaiba without coffee... Dat kinda hurt. Dat was the time he pushed my of the roof of the Kaiba Corp mansion. Ouch."
WuFei decided to ignore it. "What's the date?"
"Uh... Monday, October 13, 2003. If ya'd waken up earlia... ya'da had the greatest day ta go on a picnic. I was gonna do dat, but I ended up leaven class when I saw dat t'ing..."
WuFei only caught the date. That would mean that he was 164... in almost two weeks he'd be 165.
"Yanno... We gonna have ta t'row ya a birthday party. Next comin' Saturday... Right."
WuFei growled.
"Huh? What'd I say?"
WuFei shook his head. "Not you. Meilan."
Katsuya frowned. "Oh, yer wife. Kinda sucks, yanno, ya alive, her not, ne?'
WuFei frowned. "She is not my wife!"
Katsuya pointed at the stone behind him.
"So? 'Until death do us part', right?"
Katsuya tripped over a gravestone.
WuFei looked closely at it. "That's the one Maxwell tripped over."
Katsuya glanced back up at him. "Maxwell? Was it Duo Maxwell?"
"Yes."
"So dat's what he was screaming about in history! I thought it was da test!"

In a very large mansion on the other side of the world, Seto Kaiba took refuge in his office. Who let "them" in here anyway? Probably Mokuba. He, for some unthinkable reason, liked Motou... and that stupid mutt. Honda was at the head of the group that was trying to kill him... again. But he hadn't done anything this time.
Foolish mortals. Didn't they know, that if something happened to him, Kaiba Corp would shut down, and the economy of Domino City would die?
He sat at his desk, letting out a heavy sigh. He hadn't even been able to sleep in weeks. He would try. But after ten minutes of lying awake in bed, he just had to move. It was starting to get on his nerves. At least he didn't have to worry about those dreams any more... Except daydreaming in class... That really bothered him.
He glanced at his computer and saw that he had email. His personal email address didn't often get mail, but this time, it was his personal email. Who would have emailed him? Mokuba maybe? From school? He clicked on the mail symbol and saw the return address... he didn't recognize it. [email protected] (do not try to email this... I just made it up)
He frowned as he clicked on the subject which read "Mission Successful".
"Hey Kaiba!
I ran away again, and lookee me! I remembered to bring food! So now I'm in America, and some hairy dude beat me up and kidnapped me. So now I got a place to stay. Cool, huh? Tell Honda, Yuugi, Mai, Mokuba and Anzu 'hello' for me!
I met a really sexy beast... but when I tried to make nice he tried to burn me to death! He's a freaking pyrokinetic! I didn't know that at the time though... And then there's Hilde... She kinda looks like a guy... but not in a sexy way... she looks too young... And then there's Wanda, and I thought she was sexy until she nearly killed me. She's still sexy... but I ain't saying nothing... she might zap me again... any way... gotta go,
Sexy me, hope to see you later, Jounouchi Katsuya
I am God. Worship me."
Kaiba decided to get a new email address. Jounouchi scared him sometimes.
At just that moment, someone broke into his office and called, "\He's in here!\" in Mai's voice. How'd she find him?
Pretty soon, they were all lined up against him. "\What did you do with him?\" Honda growled.
"\We were having a mad passionate affair, and I decided that I couldn't share him any more. So, I kidnapped him and he's presently tied to my bed with part of my bedsheet, naked, waiting for me to show up in about...\" he paused to glance at the clock, "\two hours and five minutes. It's a punishment for stealing the apple out of my lunch.\"
Mai blinked. "\I was wondering when you were going to come out of the closet\."
Yuugi asked innocently, "Why didn't you tell us sooner. We wouldn't have bothered you."
"\Where's his room?\" Honda asked Mokuba.
Mokuba asked, "\I was wondering why you've been wondering around at odd hours of the night...\"
Cheerfully, Anzu asked, "\How long you guys been together?\"
"\I knew it was going to happen some day!\" Mai announced triumphantly.
Kaiba sighed. "\I was kidding. I just got an email from him. You can read it if you want.\"
Honda asked, "\How'd he email you if he's tied to your bed?\"
Kaiba smacked his head against the table. These people were so thickheaded... "\He's in America, you dumbshits!\"
Everyone groaned disappointedly.

Back on the other side of the world, Katsuya convulsed in a fit of sneezing.

Ryu-Sama - And remember...
Don't forget to tell me what you think. Is it good? Bad? Did it suck royal ass? Or did you (Kami-sama forgive me for this blasphemy) actually like it?
C'mon people! I live for reviews!! Tell me all! Or else my happy thoughts will go away!! Wah!!!
