Anyways thanks to Lady Kyia for helping me get my muse off the ground and into flight. Another thanks goes to her for helping me with descriptions and other such things. Oh and she wrote the fight scene between Yami, Duke, and Mako. Her writing is great check her stuff out. Also thanks to Lizeth whose excellent picture of Yami as a punk gave my muse the inspiration to write this story. Check out her picture here.

Pernia slipped into a pair of tight blue jeans and a silk, light blue long-sleeved blouse that had been a gift from Seto for Christmas. She brushed out her hair and held it back with a small barrette that Mokuba had made for her when he was younger in his art class. She sighed and pulled on black flats and headed downstairs where a limo was waiting to take her to pick up the Slypher Amazons and take them to the mall. She smiled at the limo driver, who smiled back as he held the door open so she could slide inside. She laid back against the black leather seats and closed her eyes as the driver set the limo in motion and started off down the road to pick up Mai and the others.

Finally the limo came to a stop at the final house, Nikushimi's, a girl that had been trying to get together with Seto forever, she was as subtle about her advances as Haria was with Yami. However, Pernia preferred to give Nikushimi the benefit of the doubt and knew that Seto would never betray her, he had after all promised to protect her, from everything. The female took the time to take in the clothing of the other Slypher Amazons: Mai was wearing her normal white denim mini skirt and corset, with a purple denim jacket; Tea was wearing black leather shorts and a yellow tube top with a short pink trench coat; Haria was wearing leather pants that were two sizes two small and a red spandex tub top that covered only her breasts and nothing else; and Nikushimi was wearing a leather skirt and tight red low cut blouse.

"Well," said Pernia clapping her hands together when the limo got on the highway. "Where should we start when we hit the mall?"

"Clothing store of course," said Mai flipping her long blonde hair behind her shoulder. "I need a new outfit for tonight."

"Joey taking you out tonight?" asked Tea.

"Clubbing," said Mai smirking. "I want to get something where he won't be able to take his eyes off of me."

"He can't take his eyes off of you in whatever you are wearing," pointed out Pernia.

"I know which is why I want to get something where no one else will," smirked Mai. "Don't worry honey," said Mai tapping Pernia on the knee with a sly wink. "I am only kidding, since I am sure that Seto would never touch another woman." That statement she made while glaring at Nikushimi.

It was a well known fact that Mai and Nikushimi hadn't gotten along well at all; Mai thought Nikushimi was a spoiled whore and Nikushimi thought Mai was white trash.

"What about you Tea?" asked Pernia before a fight could break out. "Are you going anywhere with one of the guys?"

"No," said Tea shaking her head with a scowl formed on her face. "I have to get dragged to some stupid party at a friend of my parent's."

"Sucks to be you," laughed Pernia. "What about you Haria? You doing anything or are you going to be going after Yami some more?"

"I am going on a date," said Haria.

"Oh really?" asked Pernia raising a skeptic eyebrow. "With who?"

"None of your damn business!"

"In other words you don't have a date," said Tea smoothly a dark smirk on her face.

"Unlike you whores," said Haria scornfully flipping her long hair behind her. "I don't only close myself to men in the gang."

"Unlike you," said Mai smirking crossing her arms over her chest. "We don't push our affections on a man that doesn't want them."

"That's enough," said Pernia gently who was the peacemaker of the amazons. "There isn't enough room in Seto's limo for a fight; not to mention I am sure he wouldn't appreciate blood and guts on the leather interior."

"Speaking of Seto are you two doing anything tonight?" asked Mai smirking at Pernia.

"We are spending it as his place," said Pernia blushing slightly.

"In other words," snarled Nikushimi her eyes flashing darkly. "You will be spending the entire night fucking each other like rabbits in heat?"

"What's wrong Nikushimi?" asked Tea sweetly. "Jealous? Everyone knows that you want Seto. Hell everyone knows what he did to you at the Valentine Day Dance Freshmen year." Nikushimi glared at the brunette female who went on ignoring the glare. "Didn't he push you into the fountain when he tried to seduce him and keep him from getting back to Pernia? Or don't you remember it? After all you were drunk off your slutty ass!"

Nikushimi blushed furiously at the reminder of her humiliation in front of the whole school. The limo slide to the entrance to the mall and the driver got out and opened the door letting the ladies out.

"Thank you James," said Pernia stepping out last as the limo driver shut the door.

"Of course, Miss. Pernia," said James tipping his hat at her. "I will be back to pick you ladies up at three in the afternoon."

"Thank you," said Pernia heading the entrance with the others.

James nodded and returned to the limo waiting until the ladies had entered the mall before climbing into the limo and driving off.

When Arora stepped out of her bathroom she was aware of the fact the Grave dolls were scatter around on her bed.

"What is going on?" she asked.

Isis was wearing black baggy cargo pants and a white hooded shirt her black hair was pulled back in a long French braid; Okami was wearing a black school girl skirt with a blood red tank top her hair fell down her back in waves; Umi was wearing jeans and dark purple tube top, and Arashi was wearing leather pants and one of Bakura's shirts, evidently she had stayed over again last night.

"Come on," said Isis getting off the bed, walking over to the other girl and started to shake Arora's shoulders gently. "We are going shopping, so get dressed."

"Okay," said Arora tightening the towel around her waist. "Can you guys you know, leave, so I can get dressed."

"Honey," said Arashi smirking in a very Bakura like way. "You ain't got nothing we haven't seen."

"Fine," said Arora rolling her eyes.

Arora walked across the room and rummaged around in her dresser searching for something to wear; meanwhile, Isis and Arashi had gotten off of the bed and were rummaging through her closet. Isis sighed and pulled out the dress Arora had been wearing when she had nearly gotten raped by Yakamo. Isis handed it to Arashi to hold while she, Isis, began to use her switch blade to cut the material making the skirt shorter and the neckline lower.

"There," said Isis putting her switch blade back up as Arashi tossed the dress at Arora. "That is better."

Arora held up the dress and looked at it before looking back up at the Grave dolls. "You're joking right?" she asked.

"No," said Isis. "Put it on and let's get going."

"I, am, not wearing this!"

"Oh come on it's time to strip," said Arashi stepping up to the girl promptly began to wrestle the towel off of Arora's body.

"Get off of me!" screamed Arora laughing.

The rest of the Grave dolls looked at each other and grinned as they began to help Arashi get Arora out of the towel and into the dress. Finally Arora was ready to go and they walked out of the mansion she kept pulling down the skirt.

"Stop playing with it," said Isis as they walked down the street getting approving whistles from the males. "You look good, very good."

"I don't know how I let you convince me to put this on," complained Arora continuing to fidget.

"You look good and you know it," said Isis as they walked into the mall. "Besides in case you didn't notice all the boys are looking at us."

"Not only that but we aren't going to let you leave without a few new things to wear," smirked Umi grabbing onto Arora's right arm.

"Oh Lord," muttered Arora as they dragged her into one of their favorite clothing stores which just happened to be the favorite clothing store of the Slypher Amazons.
_____________________________________________________________< br> Pernia was looking at a midnight blue tank dress, she frowned and stood in front of a mirror holding the dress up to her body. She tilted her head to the side biting her lower trying to decide if Seto would like it or not. He might like it if she brought a set of black sandal pumps and some dark jewelry.

"I like it," said Mai coming up to her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders with a short dark purple dress slung over her arm. "And I am sure Seto would love it, after all, it brings our your eyes and I am sure it would do the same for his."

"I don't know," said Pernia biting her lower lip.

"Look at it this way," said Mai smirking. "Even if he doesn't like it, it is not like you are going to be wearing it a long time anyways. So if he doesn't like it chances are he will take it off even earlier then usual."

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Haria coming up to them with a dark red dress in her hands.

"This dress Pernia is thinking of buying," said Mai looking over her shoulder.

"Buy it," said Haria after taking a brief look at the dress and walking past her into the dressing rooms. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Mai and Pernia hurriedly ran into the dressing rooms and saw Haria glaring at Arora who was wearing a light blue spaghetti strap dress that had a high waist that stopped below the bust line.

"Um shopping," said Arora as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Haria glared at her while Pernia and Mai looked at her with interest.

"What the hell is all that yelling about?" shouted a new voice who stormed out of the dressing room next to Arora half changed.

Arashi stared at the Slypher Amazons with a dark scowl spread across her pretty face. She was wearing her black leather pants and a dark red zip-up vest that she hadn't bothered to zip up, so the only thing covering her breasts was a white lacey bra.

"Oh," she said flatly removing a switch blade. "Its you. What the hell do you want?!"

"I came in here to change when I saw that THING!" sneered Haria pointing at Arora.

Haria stared at Arora for a moment taking in the new dress the girl was wearing.

"Honey," said Arashi. "When we said new clothes, that wasn't what we meant."

"I like it," said Arora defensively.

"And I am sure our king would like taking it off," smirked Mai.

Pernia snickered as Arora flushed deeply at what Mai was hinting at.

"Not a chance in hell," said Arashi pushing Arora back into the changing room. "We are getting you something else, so get out of it and the rest of you can go about your business. You don't bug us, we don't bug you."

"Fine," said Pernia shrugging and walking past Arashi the other girls following suite.

"Good," said Arashi and as one the four girls disappeared into separate changing rooms.

Pernia and the other girls settled back into the leather seats of the limo. The day had gone off without a hitch after their little run in with the Grave Dolls, but other then that they hadn't had any problems. The Slypher Amazons had managed to convince Pernia to buy the dress and a little something else for Seto.

"Why do you look so down?" asked Mai giving Pernia a playful shove. "Seto is going to love the dress."

"I know," said Pernia. "That wasn't what was worrying me."

"Sure," said Nikushimi rolling her eyes. "Whatever you say."

"Just because you couldn't find a dress to catch Seto's eyes don't blame it on Pernia," snapped Tea.

"The only reason Seto is paying any attention to Pernia is because he thinks she is great in bed," smirked Nikushimi smirking at Pernia. "The entire school knows the only reason that he pays any attention to her at all is because she is a rich, spoiled brat that is willing to put out for him. That is also the only reason you are in the gang not because you can fight but because you are bedding Yami's left hand man. Everyone knows it."

The statement left Pernia in shock and also in doubt about everything she and Seto had been through together. None of the other females spoke up because they had heard the rumors that were circulating the school and for the first time in their lives, they wondered were exactly they stood in the minds of the male Slyphers.

"You aren't going to believe what Nikushimi said to Pernia," said Mai as she leaned on the arm of Joey later that day while they were on their date.

"Oh?" asked Joey raising an eyebrow. "What did the bitch say?"

"She told Pernia that the only reason Seto pays attention to Pernia is because of how she is in bed," said Mai stopping and forcing her boyfriend to look at her. "She also said that the entire school knew about them going to bed with each other and that was the reason she was in the gang because she was sleeping with Seto. Is that true? Is that the only reason she is in the gang? Is that the reason I am in the gang?"

Joey stared down at his girlfriend in shock, "What's wrong Mai don't you trust us?"

"Well," said Mai looking away. "You ARE guys after all and you guys do tend to let your hormones do the thinking for you."

"Look," said Joey taking Mai's chin so she would look at him. "How I feel about you and how Seto feels about Pernia as nothing to do with the reason you two are in the gang. No, look at me Mia. You two are both great fighters and that is what got you into the gang. Not the fact that we are dating each other or sleeping with each other. Everyone knows that Nikushimi is just trying to stir trouble. She is always doing that where Pernia and Seto are concerned; I expected you to realize what she is capable of by now."

"I know," said Mai looking away. "I'm sorry, it's just that…"

"Just that, for once your confidence in me was shaken," said Joey softly. "Its alright don't worry about it. Come on or we'll be late for the movie."

Mai nodded and wrapped her arms around Joey's waist as the two of them continued down the road toward the movie theater.
_____________________________________________________________< br> Arora sighed and pushed on the skirt of her light blue skirt that hugged her hips and thighs, the silver blouse had a v-cut to it and revealed the tops of her cleavage. She twisted slightly and her black hair that was in several curls bounced slightly at the movement she smiled. She looked nice enough for her violin concert tonight. She reached down onto her vanity table and fastened a blue rhinestone chocker around her slim neck.

"You ready?" asked Bakura opening the door without bothering to knock.

"Don't you ever knock?" asked Arora walking past him into the hall where Malik helped her into her leather jacket.

"It's not like I would do anything," said Bakura scowling as he wrapped an arm around Arashi who was wearing a black dress with spaghetti straps.

"Come on," said Ryu as he finished buttoning his shirt. "We've got to go so Arora can get there on time."

Bakura scowled as he and Arashi lead the way out of the house. Ryu and Bakura's father was in England for the next two months leaving the teenagers with run of the house. Which meant that most of the time the entire Gravedigger gang would stay the night, which Arora thanked the heavens they had enough guest rooms, even though the couples tended to shack up together when they did.

Arora sighed as she stepped onto the stage and placed the violin under her chin and slowly slide the bow across the strings letting the song fill the room and caress her skin like a lover. She sighed and allowed the gentle love song she played to take control and fill her soul. She felt tears fill her eyes and had to struggle to keep from crying and ruin the performance. As she came to the end of the song she took a deep shuddering breathe and smiled out over the crowd as they applauded, she bowed and waited for the curtain to close before walking off the stage.

"What is wrong with you?" asked one of her friends taking note of the tears in her eyes.

"I don't know, Karia," said Arora dabbing at her eyes with the back of her hand. "I don't know what is wrong with me."

"Well that was a rather sappy romantic song you played," said Karia shrugging her shoulders. "Maybe that is what affected you."

"Maybe," said Arora watching her friend take position on the stage.

Arora sighed and leaned against the wall taking in the sea of face that could barely be made out by the lights on the stage. She saw her cousin and his lover, Arashi, Ryu, the triplets: Malik, Marik, and Isis, her lover Rashid, and Okami sat there closing her eyes to get the full effect of the music; Umi had not been able to join them because she had to watch her baby sister, Mizu, while their parents went to another party, leaving them alone again. Had Mizu not been sick then Umi would have brought her along to the concert but the young girl was ill and everytime she moved she had to throw up. So they were stuck at home that seemed more like an underwater tomb then a mansion of elegance. Then while Arora was looking out over the face of the rest of the crowd taking in the many couples that had come to the concert, the truth hit her like a blow to the stomach. She, Arora Johnson, was lonely for someone to share a love with.
