Poisoned Party

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ryou woke as Bakura knocked on the door, then entered, laying down beside him. Ryou sleepily opened an eye and looked at Bakura, before giving him a drowsy smile.

“Good evening.” Bakura said, and Ryou yawned and stretched, wincing at the twinge of pain between his legs. Bakura leaned over and kissed him gently. “Did you dream?”

“Mmmmm…….. don’t remember……..” Ryou mumbled. “But there was a pink octopus.” Bakura blinked.

“I don’t wanna know.”

“Neither do I.” Ryou said, sitting up with a smile.

“Are you hungry?” Bakura asked, and Ryou nodded, scratching his belly and still trying to blink his eyes into focus. “Come on. You’ve napped enough.” Bakura said, and pulled Ryou out of the bed, and out onto the deck. Ryou looked around. Everyone was seated at the table on the decks of the Shadow Ghoul and Relinquished, while dancing was held on the Deck of the Black Magician. Bakura took Ryou into his arms and whirled them in among the dancers. They circled the dance floor before slipping out and over to the Shadow Ghoul. Ryou stumbled blindly after Bakura, still not completely awake and now dizzy from their brief spin around the dance floor. Bakura laughingly guided Ryou over to a pair of seats near Yami.

“I see he’s awake.” Yami said. and Malik grunted, looking at Ryou.

“Heh. No he isn’t.” the boy said, and they all laughed as Ryou blinked his tired eyes.

“Huh?”

“Dinner. Food. Eat.” Marik chuckled, passing a full plate to Bakura, who set it down before Ryou, who immediately perked up. Ryou dug in, as did all the others, who had been waiting for him. Yugi leaned over and whispered something into Yami’s ear, and the pair snickered, then spent the rest of the meal with their heads together, whispering and laughing away. At least until a drunk Tea stumbled over and draped herself all over Yami. The Pirate King immediately had a look of panic and disgust plastered over his face. Tea slurred something along the lines of ‘Kiss me you big hunk of sweet juicy meat’ before picking up his wine goblet and sipping from it. Yami made a face and took his wine back, eyeing the almost empty glass. Keith strode over and poured Yami more, before nodding knowingly to the captain and leading the drunken whore away, probably to get her head soaked in cold water. Yami sighed and shook his head.

Ryou watched as Rex and Weevil got into a fight and stumbled into the table, nearly knocking over everyone’s wine glasses. But both reached out and caught Yami’s glass, since everyone else caught their own, and Yami was busy with Rex toppling into his lap. But even so, most of the wine was sloshed out.

“What is going on?” He demanded.

“Uh, nothing.”

“Sorry sir.” They both mumbled, and ran off. There was a sigh, and Pegasus grabbed a pitcher and re-filled Yami’s glass.

“I’ll go take care of those two idiots.” The one-eyed man said, and went after Rex and Weevil. Yami rolled his eyes and picked up his wine glass before anything else happened to it. He tilted his head back, taking in a mouthful, and froze, before whirling and spewing it out all over the deck.

“What the fuck, Yami?!” Marik howled, when the Pharaoh grabbed Marik’s glass and drank down all the wine, swishing it in his mouth and spitting it out again, before repeating the process with Bakura’s glass.

“Rinsing my mouth out.” Yami panted in explanation.

“Huh?” Bakura said, and Yami handed the albino his glass.

“Smell it.” He ordered, and Bakura did, his eyes widening and passing it to Marik, who did the same.

“AHMOSE!!” Yami howled, and Ahmose strode over. “Smell it.” Ahmose did.

“…. Poison.” He gasped, staring at the glass. He lifted the goblet to his mouth and sipped a bit, getting a good taste, then spat it out and rinse his mouth with a nearby water jug. “Not sure what…. But it contains a bit of…” He sniffed the wine again. “Arsenic, I think. Who touched your glass?”

“Plenty of people.” Yami said with a frown. “Weevil, Rex, Pegasus, Tea, Keith, and whoever first filled the glass and whoever set it at my place.” Ahmose nodded and strode away with the infected glass, tossing it overboard, before disappearing into the crowd.

“That’s an attempt on Bakura’s life, and now, Yami’s….” Seto said, and they all jumped, not noticing him. He sat down. “Watch yourself, Marik. You may be the next one. And keep an eye on your lovers.” He looked at Ryou, Malik and Yugi. “I’ll help anyway I can, but…”

“Everyone knows your loyalty, Seto.” Yami said with a nod. “After Marik and Bakura, it is you whom I trust most.” Yugi made a face, and Yami snickered. “I’m talking about my crew, Yugi.”

“And I’m not part of the crew?” Yugi asked, and Yami grinned ruffling his hair.

“Alright, alright…. After Yugi, Seto.” Yami said, and Seto chuckled, before winking at Yugi as he walked off.

“Now what?” Bakura asked.

“We should make sure that our food and drink come from Mako himself, untouched by any other.” Marik said. “And keep a sharp eye out. In all that happened over the last month, it’s no wonder that we forgot about someone wanting Bakura, and now Yami, dead.”

“They’re right. You may be next.” Malik said. “Please be careful.”

“If not for me, then for you, my love.” Marik said, and hugged Malik tightly. “I’m not about to die as soon as I find my soul mate.”

“Ryou…” Yami said, suddenly. “How are your hands?”

“Ummmm….. fine…” Ryou said.

“How about that rematch?” Yami asked, eyes glittering, and Ryou smiled.

“You’re on.”
