Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Okay it worked. Screw it, I'm gonna read it now. I need a break from adobe indesign.. it's such a frustrating program! *curses it*))

Anzu followed Honda, "Do you know where he could be?"

Yuugi commented, "Didn't he go with Malik?"

There was a muffled voice coming from the light. All he could make out was his name being called. This presence really did want him to get up. He had to try at least. He lifted one of his arms a little, but could only let out a cry of pain.

Slowly, yet surely, he had pulled his body off the floor and limped towards the light...

W-why was everything so bright? The Egyptian blinked a few times, and parted his mouth to let out a light moan of pain. His body felt even more weak then it did before, his stomach felt twisted and broken. Unable to move for the time being he just stared at the blinding white of the ceiling above him. The light it emanated reminded him of the sun.

((BLECK. It sounds like when Jou had that dream where all his friends helped him up during the BC semi-finals.... x____X ))

Anzu frowned, "You mean... you guys don't?!"

Yuugi shook his head, "Well, we could always look in the phone book for his address..."

((Well, then don't diss Honda's hair! It is the most super special awesome hair ever!!

XD;;

Dude, that was funny...

And what the hell is so interesting about the ceiling? They are both staring at it.. -.- ... it is nothing compared to teh awesomeness of ice!!!))

Malik tried to recall the events that had just happened. Everything felt like such a blur, he couldn't even remember why he had attacked Jounouchi in the first place. That's right... Jounouchi had left, hadn't he? He hadn't heard the door shut behind him though. He figured that was because he passed out before he had been able to stop him. "I wonder if he is back at home now...." He spoke quietly to the ceiling, suddenly saddened by the situation. He imagined the other blond safe at home, much happier than he had been with Malik. He hoped nobody he lived with would ask about the horrible purple bruises the Egyptian had left around his neck. The scratches would probably be easier to lie about then the hickeys...

((EDIT:: Oo I have a japanese question. "Mou hitori no boku,' it means like another one of me right? But boku is a masculine pronoun correct? So, what if a girl wanted to use that term? So... say if Malik was a girl (o,O) what would you say to make it feminine then? Mou hitori no atashi? Doesn't that sound awkward...? I guess one could make it a non gender specific... unless boku is used in a different context, in which case I'm even more confused. I was just assuming it'd be used as I in this context.

I dunno... I only know like... a teeny tiny speck of Japanese... so I feel dumb, especially when it comes to pronouns and what not... aside from 'ore', which I learned from host club... *snort*))

"We can just go to my grandpa's store, he's got a phonebook there."

((Oh okaies... thanks.... ^^))

Curious about Jounouchi's condition he managed to get himself up to a sitting position.Maybe there was still time to follow him or something? "I might as well clean this place up..." He said with a sigh, realizing his bed and part of the floor was scattered with clothing now. He rubbed his eyes, and stretched out his arms. His stomach and temple were still throbbing, but his arms seemed to work just fine. He hoped his legs would be the same way. If he could get to the kitchen he could get some pain killers in his system.

((Haha, ceiling fetish... niceeeee.
He hasn't seen Jounouchi yet.. his in a bit of a daze.))

((Why thank you, yours does too. I decided to go to Christmas b/c of the new items. =3 Hehe, did you see the doggy tags?! I totally want them. But the crown tempted me a bit more... >=3 *is obsessed with royalty*))

Within a few minutes Yuugi was able to find Malik's address in the phone book. He lived in the apartments downtown. "Complex number 12... " He repeated to help himself memorize it. "Honda-kun, do you know where this is? I don't usually visit that part of Domino..."

"J-Jounouchi-kun...? Why are you crawling on the floor...?" Malik asked quietly, with a tone that displayed nothing but sincere innocence. He cocked his head with a puzzled expression. His appearance was the most unsightly he had ever allowed anyone to see of him; his nose was red and it trickled blood - much like his lower lip was also doing, a purple knot had started to form on his forehead, his bangs were tossed every which way, half of them in his face, the other half had tangled itself behind his ear.

((Ommg! I wanna read it! Maybe I should... what's it about? =D *excited* I love slash... heheheh))

((Let's just assume that they are following Honda... you decide when they get there I guess. ^^))

Suddenly, Malik found that he had the strength to pull himself up. He got off his bed and made it to Jounouchi before crashing weakly to his knees, grabbing the edge of the other's shirt. "W-wait... you don't have to leave. We have to go to the party..."

((Malik is dizzy... that's why he is sorta being clueless... his head is probably still spinning from the hit or something.

No bondage and blood licking? Darn. But I never heard of either... it sounds interesting. And I am happy with implications. =3))

((B-but your Honda! Yuugi and Anzu are following... -.-

Baka! Fine, I'll remind you. It won't be too long anyway... ))

Malik looked pitiful, his head hung down to the floor for a few moments, until he could feel his body start to shake as well. At that one moment every event that had just happened came spinning back to his mind. He stood up abruptly and ran after Jounouchi, grabbing his wrist to stop him. "Then why did you kiss me? Why the hell did you do that? Why'd you kiss me if you hated it so much!?" He retorted bitterly, wiping the blood off his lip with his free hand.

((Wow you finished that fast. ^^ Glad you liked it. Sorry about your favorite character))

"Are we almost there yet Honda-kun?" Yuugi exclaimed, tired from the running they'd been doing.

Malik frowned. "What kind of plan is that?! You completely led me on! You are the real b*****d." Then he took a moment to examine the other, stating rather smugly, "I wonder what your friends are gonna say when they see your neck marked up like that..."

((Oh you bad girl! Yea, I'm supposed to start an essay. It's not due until Friday though.))
