Before ya'll get pissed that I'm starting a new story before finishing the ones I have posted, I *did* just post the ending to Heartbreak, and this is a prize!fic for IceAngel on aff. I meant for it to be a one-shot, but it's an unusual pairing so I needed a plot that involved chapters. Disclaimer: Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, but I do own a copy of Dance Dance Revolution.

Chapter 1: Ultramix

Atemu was growing bored of watching Honda and Jonouchi play Mortal Kombat for the 14th time through Yugi's eyes at the arcade. /Tell me again why we can't leave, aibou?/ //Because we've been blowing off our friends way too much lately, Yami. Why don't you find a game to play instead of sulking?// Scowling, the leather-clad ex-pharaoh wandered the packed room looking for entertainment. He stopped in front of a large metal square with multi-colored arrows, puzzled. /How does this game work?/ Yugi giggled while replying through their mind-link. //It's called Dance Dance Revolution... You dance on it, silly./

Just then, a whirlwind of energy rushed past, yelling "Excuse me, sorry, big brother will only let me stay for 30 minutes and I want to beat my high score!" Yami narrowed his eyes and glanced at the entrance to the arcade... Sure enough, there stood Kaiba and one of his uniformed employees, though Atemu couldn't tell whether it was a bodyguard or driver. He turned back and smiled down at the enthusiastic pre-teen, asking "Can't you afford to buy this game and play at home, Mokuba?" "The Ultramix version hasn't come out yet for the X-Box," the raven-haired boy replied while feeding coins into the machine. "Do you want to play against me?" "I think I'll just watch," Atemu said, shaking his head slightly.

A hard and fast techno beat began playing through the speakers, and Mokuba moved to the center of the stage. Atemu was pleasantly surprised at how graceful Kaiba's younger brother's movements were. A few rounds in, he had worked up a decent sweat and gathered a small crowd. Atemu watched, unconciously licking his lips until Jonouchi's slang brought him out of his daze. "Hey, anybody in 'der? I said we're goin' for pizza." Yugi stayed strangely silent until after they'd eaten. //Yami... Why were you looking at Mokuba like that?//

Atemu was taken aback. /Looking at him how, aibou?/ But Yugi had already shut off their link, lost in thought.
