It was foggy day at Domino. Yuugi had invited Ryou and Malik, together with their yamis to the Kame Game Shop.
" Yami, you're going to school with me after this summer holiday," Yuugi told Yami Yuugi.
" What! Me, going to that rundown school of yours? No way! I'm never going to go to that school," Yami Yuugi replied.
" Ha! The Pharaoh's going to school! I bet he did not even have a kindergarten standard," Yami Bakura said, eating an orange, as Yami Malik agreeing to what he had said.
" Well, yami, you're are also going to go to school with us! And you too, Malik!" Ryou said. Yami Bakura's eyes bulged and choked on the orange.
After coughing for a long while, he shrieked, " What! I'm also involved in this stupid crap? I'm certainly not going to go to school. I have had enough education. I'm not going to spend my time doing homework, and worrying for examinations. "
" Yeah! Me too!" Yami Malik said.
" Stop protesting. We are only doing this for your own good," Malik said.
" Well, you're going to have a problem. We can't possibly register for school, as we do not have our birth certificate and our names are weird. They can't possibly be calling you Yuugi, while they call me Yami Yuugi, so we can't go to that rundown school of yours," Yami Yuugi said.
" Oh Pharaoh, that is the most sensible speech you had in your entire life!" Yami Bakura and Yami Malik exclaimed.
" Don't worry. I've got it all planned. We will tell them your birth certificate was burnt, and we can't replace it. We can ask Grampa to tell the office. As for your names, you will be called Atemu Mutoh; Yami Malik would be called Marik Ishtar, and Yami Bakura, you will be called Bakura Bakura. I know it sounds weird, but we can tell the teacher that your parents chose that name to save time," Yuugi said.
" And so, that's settled. Now, just enjoy your holidays and get ready for school after the holidays!"
The holidays coming to an end…
The holidays were ending. Yami Yuugi, Yami Bakura and Yami Malik were sleeping peacefully when their Hikaris rushed into their room (they are sleeping in Yami Yuugi's room, because they had a party in it) and woke them up.
"Yami, wake up! Today is the last day of the holidays, and I am sure that you did not finish your homework!" Ryou yelled.
" I did finish my homework. I finished it off. It's now in the recycling bin, perhaps waiting to be turned into a comic book." Yami Bakura yawned.
" What! You threw your homework? How do you expect the teacher to react?" Ryou asked a bit sternly.
" I expect her to say that it is nothing to worry about and carry on with lessons. Who cares for this stupid homework anyway?"
Yami Yuugi sat up, " I care! And I've already finished it during the first week of our holidays!"
Yuugi nodded his head to show that Yami Yuugi wasn't lying. Yami Bakura rolled his eyes, " Who cares if you had done it? You might as well burn it now."
He turned to Yami Malik and asked, " What about you? Did you do it?"
" No. But I kept it clean. Clean as in without a single spot or word on it." Yami Malik said proudly.
Ryou's face lit up, " Can I borrow your homework?"
" Err…" Yami Malik looked thoughtfully at Ryou, and then decided that Ryou is sensible enough to not dirty his precious without-a-single-spot homework, " Alright, but only for a day."
Ryou squealed his thanks and ran off with Yami Malik's homework.
After about a few minutes, he ran back with two copies of the homework.
" I've went to copy it," he explained.
" For what ever reasons? Are you thinking of doing extra homework? Trying to be a hardworking boy to make the teacher happy? I'm telling you in advance. That will never happen," Yami Bakura said with a snort.
" Of course not. I'm copying it for you. You better do it now!" warned Ryou.
" For me? No thanks. I've told you a millennium times that I'm not going to bother about homework or examinations, so forget about it!" Yami Bakura said.
" Do it or bear the consequences. We're going to take you three to buy your uniforms and books this afternoon, so finish your work now," Ryou said.
" Stupid hikari," Yami Bakura cursed under his breath.
Four hours later…
The hikaris came back with lots of books, uniforms and three school bags.
Yami Bakura looked at the books, dislike clearly written over his face.
" What's this suppose to be?" he asked, pointing to the school bag Ryou bought for him. It had all kinds of funny pictures over it.
" It's your school bag," Ryou replied.
" His school bag? What a joke!" Yami Yuugi roared with laughter, only earning himself a spank from Yuugi.
" Yeah! You know I hate these things. And what's this? A teddy bear! Are you out of your mind! I, the King Of Thieves, Bakura, am going to that idiotic school with an idiotic bag? No way! I've got news for you. By hook or by crook, get me another bag or pay me with your own bag!" Yami Bakura yelled at Ryou.
" Bu-"
" No buts! Blame it on yourself for buying me that bag."
Yami Yuugi got a black sling bag, and Yami Malik a brown one. He was looking at it, with disappointment.
" Why, Tomb Keeper. Disappointed that you can't have a bag with your favorite Hello Kitties (read "The Troublesome Makers Strikes Again!" to find out) on it? Don't be sad. If you become a girl right now, I'll surely buy it for you!" Yami Yuugi said with a laugh, and the other laughed out loud too.
" Shut up stupid Pharaoh!" Yami Malik exclaimed, cracking his knuckles.
Next, they went on labeling their things. Yami Bakura looked at the books, and said, " It's so boring! Why can't they just teach everybody how to steal? Like that, it will be beneficial for everyone and it's fun too!"
" I sometimes wonder why a person like you, have such a clever brain, but used it in the wrong way," Yami Yuugi said.
" Because I'm a Tomb Robber, Pharaoh. Nothing can change that fact," Yami Bakura said.
They spent their whole afternoon getting ready for their stuff for school tomorrow. They had their dinner and went to sleep.
At midnight, the three yamis woke up. They were surprised to see each other in the living room where they put their school bags and uniforms.
" What are you doing here?" Yami Bakura hissed.
" I should be asking you that question. This is my house, and I have a right to enter freely and go as I wished," Yami Yuugi replied.
" Shh… we all came here for the same motive didn't we?" Yami Malik asked.
" What's your motive?" Yami Yuugi asked Yami Bakura.
" Well it's simple. I came here to burn the books, bags and uniforms."
" Well, sorry to tell you that I'm here to protect the items that you wanted to burn," Yami Yuugi said.
" No you will not!"
" Yes I will!"
" No!"
" Yes!"
" Shh! Not so loud!" hissed Yami Malik.
But it was too late. The lights clicked on, Grampa was standing there, staring at them.
" What are you three doing here in the dead of the night?"
" Nothing!" they answered in unison.
" Well it better be nothing. Off to sleep now."
" Yes," they replied and scrammed. They still had not forgot how Grampa cackled when he caught them the last time in
"The Troublesome Makers Strikes Again!"
They went back to bed with no other choice, and soon slept very soundly…
The next morning…
The sky was dark blue. Yami Yuugi woke up, but saw the other two yamis were snoring like pigs. Yami Yuugi had no choice but to splash a bucket of cold water at them.
" Argh!!! What's that for?" Yami Bakura yelled furiously, while Yami Malik tried to strangle Yami Yuugi.
" Wake up! Don't you remember we had school today?" he replied.
" Of course I remember," Yami Bakura said, and reached out for his clock. School starts at 8a.m, and now Yami Yuugi had woke him up at 5a.m in the morning.
" For more information, school starts at 8a.m, and now, you woke us at 5a.m! Yami Malik! Strangle him to death!" yelled Yami Bakura.
The hikaris heard Yami Bakura and Yami Malik's battle cry, and heard Yami Yuugi's scream. They hurried out from their rooms, and raced to the three yamis.
" Stop! What are you three doing?" they cried.
" Can't you see? We are trying to strangle the Pharaoh to death!" Yami Bakura and Yami Malik yelled back at them.
" Stop!!!" Yami Yuugi roared, and the eye of Ra glowed fiercely on his forehead. The other two yamis were immediately bounced off him. This is the power when Yami Yuugi, the ancient Pharaoh was angry.
Yami Malik and Yami Bakura looked at him fearfully. Even the hikaris looked frightened.
" Let's run before the Pharaoh erupts," Yami Bakura said.
But before they could even move a muscle, Yami Yuugi turned with his head bowed.
" Err… Okay, okay, Pharaoh. I promise that we wouldn't get you angry again. I swear! Right Tomb Keeper?" Yami Bakura nudged Yami Malik.
" Huh? Oh, right. We wouldn't," Yami Malik said in his most convincing voice.
" Oh really? I'm so touched." Yami Yuugi raised his head, "Do you think that I believe your bullshit?" Yami Yuugi's voice sounded extremely sweet, for apparent reasons…
" Noooooo!!!!!!!!" Yami Bakura and Yami Malik screamed in unison. The hikaris watched the whole scene behind the sofa…
After two hours…
Yami Yuugi was in high moods. He was going to school with the hikaris and two unrecognizable yamis. They were Yami Bakura and Yami Malik. Yami Yuugi need not carry his school bag or anything else. In fact, the hikaris were not seen with their school bags too.
" Damn it! These are actually heavier than I thought," Yami Bakura grumbled.
Yami Malik was so full with his 'load' that he could barely even walk, let alone talk.
" Keep up you guys!" Yami Yuugi yelled from some distance ahead.
" Damn the Pharaoh! Damn the whole world! Damn these stupid bags…" Yami Bakura cursed under his breath as he heaved the bags up in a more secure place over his shoulders.
Yami Malik merely grunted and tried to keep up with the gang. Even though he was used to having a hard life, he wasn't used to carry heavy bags that weight like a mountain when carried together.
Unfortunately, Yami Yuugi and the hikaris are not aware of their situation. But they suspect that Yami Yuugi wouldn't lift a finger to help them even if he was aware of their situation…
Finally, after the unpleasant journey, they reached Domino High. Yami Malik actually cried with relief. Yami Bakura looked as if he had been dragged from one end of the world to the other then back again. In fact, he looked half-dead.
Yami Yuugi signaled for them to continue walking because they hadn't really reached the principle's office yet. Yami Malik began howling with anguish while Yami Bakura tried to put up a brave face and continue the journey.
Yami Yuugi took pity of Yami Malik and offered to take the bags for him. Yami Malik cried his thanks and let Yami Yuugi carry the bags. Yami Yuugi swung the bags up to his shoulder with ease. Yami Bakura and Yami Malik stared at him, awed. They didn't know that Yami Yuugi was able to carry such a heavy load. They thought that he was a spoiled brat that gets all his servants to carry his things for him…
And with that, they proceeded to the principle's office for registration…
