Two months after the declaration of war, the ten friends were still trying to shock each other. However, it changed from doing it after everyone had eaten, to trying to shock each other randomly while eating or drinking. It had also degenerated from using a certain phrase in their words, to using random quotes, bringing greater results. The rules had also changed the time of the game. Instead of only during lunch, the nine boys and one girl would now say something random whenever they saw each other.

Yugi was walking down the hall during passing period, on his way to his fourth period class when he heard Bakura yell, "The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in the dark!" Without missing a beat, Yugi yelled back from across the now somewhat quieter hall, "There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away, Bakura!" Yugi never stopped walking, nor did he look back, laughing quietly as he heard Bakura cuss him out and Marik laugh. Several other students, although confused, laughed quietly.

Walking through the door into his fourth period advanced art class, Yugi smiled at Ryou and Malik as he grabbed his easel and set it up next to theirs. "I heard your boyfriends," He commented to Ryou and Malik. "Oh?" Ryou questioned. Malik tilted his head slightly as he finished arranging his brushes and towels on the tray beside his easel. Yugi nodded before heading over to his art locker to grab his brushes, snagging a tray, towels and a water dish on his way back.

When he got back to his fellow hikari's, Yugi continued, "Yeah. Bakura yelled some sentence about shinbones across the hall at me, so I hollered back about there being a difference between cuddling and holding someone down. Marik laughed as Bakura cussed me out." He smirked lightly as the other two chuckled. Over the last month, their group had divided up into smaller groups, each individual making alliances with each other. So instead of each individual person targeting everyone else, they had partners, and they would quote at everyone but their partners.

Yugi, Ryou, and Malik had teamed up, causing their other halves to team up. Seto and Jou paired up, with Honda and Anzu being the last group. The hikari's would target their Yami's, Seto and Jou, and Honda and Anzu, and the Yami's targeted the other three groups. Seto and Jou mostly targeted the ex-spirits, although they would surprise the other two groups randomly. Honda and Anzu targeted everyone equally, including each other.

While the three went to get the canvases they had been using for the last week, Yugi grumbled almost silently about Bakura's teasing him. They had spent the night at Seto's mansion Saturday, and in the middle of the night during a game of twister, the lights had gone out. Yugi, walking back into the game room from the kitchen, had barked his shin on the coffee table and ended up hopping on one foot, rubbing the front of his leg as he cursed up a storm when the lights came back on a minute later. However, Yugi's comment about cuddling versus holding someone down referred to when everyone had been watching a movie, and Bakura had tackled Ryou down and refused to let him go, claiming to be cuddling him when all Ryou wanted to do was get up and watch the movie.

Yugi, Ryou, and Malik spent the entire class working on their paintings, conversing quietly about what to do to get Bakura and Marik back. Although Yami was partnered with these two, Yugi hadn't heard him. So he couldn't be sure his Yami was part of it, but they included him in their 'revenge'. With ten minutes left of class, the teacher had them all put away their canvases and clean their brushes. The three boys finished with a few minutes to spare, so they gathered their things and finished their discussion.

The bell rang and the three headed out, watching the hall carefully for any of their friends. Ryou was the first to spot their significant others gathered with their friends. Nudging his companions, Ryou motioned for them to sneak closer. Upon getting within a yard of the others, Ryou stated loudly, "Some people hear voices…" Yugi immediately continued with, "Others see invisible people…" And Malik finished with, "Others have no imagination."Anzu, Bakura, Seto, Joy, Honda, Marik, and Yami all turned towards the group of three-along with half the people in the hall- when Ryou first started speaking, and by the time Malik finished, were all grinning or smirking at the somewhat inside joke. Other students grinned or rolled their eyes and turned away.

When the three innocent looking boys met up with their friends, Bakura frowned at Yugi. "What do you mean, my birth certificate expired?" He demanded. Yugi smiled innocently up at Bakura as he linked arms with Yami. "Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of practice can, with only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world." He answered sweetly.

Anzu giggled and asked, "What are the words guaranteed to humiliate men everywhere?" Jou answered with, "You're a guy?" and Seto snorted elegantly. "No, its 'You're so cute… You're like a little girl!'" He stated. Marik and Bakura laughed hysterically. "Were you really told that?" Yugi asked. Seto nodded, and Anzu grinned. "Close, but no. It's actually, 'Hold my purse'." Immediately, every guy in the vicinity groaned, even the ones not in their little group.

They made it out onto the school lawn and settled at the back to eat lunch, one of them piping up with a new quote every so often. They finished lunch and walked back into school, laughing hysterically. Before they parted ways, Yugi offered one last thought provoking sentence.

"When I die, I want to go peacefully, like my Gramps did, in his sleep- Not screaming like the passengers in his car."
