Suboshi: *mutters* good. maybe she'll forget about my story....

^-^ Nope. Sorry Shun-kun, but with Bebe constantly reminding me, i'll never forget about yours.

Suboshi: K'so.

Now, I know that all of you readers are probably annoyed with me about now. Yes, it's true that I now have 12 incomplete stories posted. But I promise that I will get around to finishing at least one of them.....

Yaten: Kid, the day you finish a story, is the day that Seiya wears a pink and frilly dress.

Seiya: . I'll never be caught dead in one of those....

Yaten: I know. My point exactly.

. You're mean!!!

Marik: Will you just shut up and get on with the fic?!

*mutters* Well you don't have to be rude about it.

Marik: *glare o death*

Oh, and in the school the kids stay in the same class and the teachers come to them.

~*~*~*~*

Yugi was sitting in his bedroom watching TV, when he suddenly heard someone enter the shop.

'I wonder who that could be..? The shop's closed, Yami's dueling over at Kaiba's place, and grandpa's on vacation...' Yugi then stood up and cautiously crept down stairs. He walked into the kitchen and gasped in surprise when he saw who the intruder was.

"Bakura! What are you doing here? I thought that you were still in Egypt with Marik!"

"The plans changed little Yugi. We decided to stop back by for a visit." Bakura explained as he took a couple of steps towards Yugi.

Yugi stepped back and held onto his Millenium Puzzle as Bakura came closer. "Why are you at my house? And where's Marik?" Yugi said as he glanced around, as if expecting Marik to be lurking in the shadows.

"Marik went to see if he could stay at Malik's house. And as for why I'm here, well I was on my way to Ryou's place when I remembered that you lived close by. I thought that I'd just drop in to say hi." Bakura said as he continued to walk closer to Yugi.

Yugi was now backed up against a wall, like a mouse cornered by the cat. 'Maybe he really did just stop by to let me know they were back....Then again, maybe he's after my puzzle....' Yugi thought as his grip tightened on his puzzel.

"Besides little Yugi, you have something I want. And it's not your Millenium item." Bakura was now standing only a foot away from Yugi.

"W-what do you want from me Bakura?" Yugi asked as he tried to back away even further, only to find that the annoying wall was still there.

Bakura only smirked and leaned forward so that he was face to face with little Yugi. "You." Was the only word Bakura said before he pressed his lips agains Yugi's.

'W-w-what is he doing?!?!?!?' Little Yugi thought as he was paralized with shock.

After a few minutes Bakura pulled away and smirked. Then he leaned closer to Yugi's scarlet face and whispered in his ear, "Did you enjoy that my little Yugi?" Then Bakura smirked, kissed Yugi on the cheek, and disappeared.

Yugi just stood there like a deer in the headlights for a few minutes with his face pure scarlet, before he slowly walked back upstairs. When Yugi got to his room he collapsed on his bed, still in shock, and stared at his ceiling. Yugi's mind was running wild with confusing thoughts as he slowly drifted off to sleep. Those thoughts might have been the cause of Yugi's strange dream...........or the dream could have been sent to him from the boy with the Millenium Ring, who was lurking in a dark room of the house a few blocks away......

//Yugi looked around the pitch black room. "Where am I?" His voice echoed throughout the empty space. "Yami? Joey? Tristan? Tea? Where is everyone?" Yugi ran to each side of the vast room, calling out to his friends, hoping to find someone, anyone. "I'm all alone..." Yugi whispered as he sank to the floor. Crystal-like tears began to form in Yugi's innocent eyes as he hugged his knees tightly to his chest. 'Please...anybody....I don't want to be by myself...Yami....Where are you?...Why can't I even sense you..?....Please someone....I'm scared....' Yugi thought while crying with his face burried in his arms around his knees. Then Yugi suddenly felt someone wrap their arms around him from behind. Yugi slowly opened his red eyes that were sparkling with tears, making them look like bright, majestic rubies. He tried to look over his shoulder, but the person was holding him too close. "Who....?"

"Shh....Don't cry my little Yugi. You're not alone anymore. I'm here with you now." Bakura whispered in Yugi's ear as he gentaly brushed away his tears.

At this point Yugi didn't care who was with him, as long as he wasn't alone. Yugi turned around, wrapped his arms around Bakura's waist, and cried into his shirt. "Bakura I was so scared. I thought that everyone left me. I hate being alone." Yugi whispered shakily as he continued crying with his face burried in Bakura's shirt.

"Everything's okay now Yugi. I promise that I won't ever leave you alone. So don't cry anymore, tears don't suit you." Bakura said as he rubbed Yugi's back, trying to calm him down.

The dream suddenly froze, as if someone had pushed pause on a VCR. Bakura was the only thing that could move. Suddenly on a far wall, a door opened, letting in a streak of light. Out of the light stepped a slightly surprised Ryou.

::Bakura, what's going on? Why is Yugi here, in the chambers of the Millenium Ring with us?::

Bakura looked down at the frozen figure in his arms, then back up at the confused Ryou.

::To him, this is just a dream. He has no idea that he is within my personal chamber in your mind, Ryou.::

::Why does he look like he's crying? What'd you do, Bakura?::

::I teleported his unconsious mind here because I wanted to be the one to comfort him for once, instead of his friends or the Pharaoh. Not that it's any of your bussiness, Ryou.::

Ryou just shook his head in amusement at his darkside's unwillingness to admit his emotions openly.

::I know that you're in love with Yugi, Bakura. You can't hide anything from me and you should know that. Just be careful, and don't hurt him.::

Bakura just sat there, not admitting anything to his Hikari. Ryou then smiled and left the room. The second the door closed, it was as if the person pushed play. Yugi not even noticing what had just happened.

Yugi calmed down enough to pull away from Bakura and look up at him with his ruby eyes. "Bakura, why do you care so much? I thought that the only thing you wanted was my millenium puzzel, along with the other millenium items."

Bakura just smirked and pulled Yugi into his lap so that he was facing him. "I'll always care about your well-being, my little Yugi."

"Why do you keep refering to me as yours?" Yugi asked quietly with a slightly confused look on his face.

Still smirking, Bakura replied, "Because I shall never let anyone else have you, and no one can stop me from getting what I want. And I want you, Yugi Motou."//

Yugi shot up in bed with his face scarlet and sweating. 'What the....It was only a dream.....Or did Bakura intentionally send it to me as a.....warning? I don't see why Bakura would want me.....Unless he tried to use me to get to Yami......ugh...all of this is just confusing me even more. Oh well, I'll come up with a solution later. Right now I need to get ready for school....' And with that Yugi got out of bed and started preparing for school.

~*~*~*~*~*~*On a motorcycle heading towards the school~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Remind me again exactly why I agreed to this?" Marik complained as he looked over his shoulder at Bakura.

"Because Marik, I'm the boss here, and you can't do anything about it. Besides, I'm older and you need me in order to continue our opperations in Egypt." Bakura said as he answered the question that Marik asked at least every ten minutes since he told him the plan.

"But why little Yugi Motou? What interests you about him so much that you just had to enroll both of us in his school?"

"Marik, will you just shut up and watch the road? If you keep looking over your shoulder at me like that, you'll probably crash and put both of us in hospital beds."

"That's not such a bad idea. I'd prefer being in the hospital, rather than going to some stupid school." Marik muttered as he put his eyes back on the road.

"You're impossible." Bakura muttered as he rolled his eyes and decided to ignor his younger partner for the remainder of the drive.

~*~*~*~*~*~*A while later, at school, in Yugi's classroom~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey Yug, I heard a rumor that there's gonna be a couple new transfer students today." Joey said as he took his seat next to Yugi. "Can't wait to meet 'em."

Ryou sweatdropped. "Trust me Joey, you really won't like it when you see who the two new students are." He said as he sat down behind Joey.

Just then Malik stormed into the room, looking slightly pissed off. He walked over to his desk on the other side of Joey and slammed his bag on it.

"The nerve of that jackass! How dare he come over to my house, in the middle of the night, asking if he can live with me for a couple of weeks!"

"Who?" Joey asked in curiosity.

Malik was about to answer when the tearcher walked in and told everyone to take a seat.

"Alright class, today we have two new students. Boys, please introduce yourselves." The teacher asked politely.

Tristan, Tea, and Joey nearly passed out; Malik, Kaiba, and Yami started twitching; and Ryou and Yugi sat there calmly, as the new students walked in.

Bakura used his Millenium ring to mental kiss little Yugi. He smirked when he saw Yugi's face turn red. "My name is Bakura." He then elbowed Marik lightly in the ribs.

Marik glared at Bakura, then at the rest of the class and said outloud, "My name is Marik."

"Welcome to our class, boys. Marik, you can take the empty seat between Malik and Tea. And Bakura, you take the seat next to Ryou and behind Yugi." The teacher instructed in a voice that was way too cheery for the boys' liking.

About half-way through the day, Yugi heard a familar voice in his head.

~So little Yugi, did you have a good sleep last night?~ Bakura asked casually.

~Leave me alone, Bakura. I don't see why you came back, but I can promise you that no matter what tricks you pull, you'll never get my Millenium Puzzel.~

~Really now my Yugi, don't you remember your dream? I'm not after your puzzel.~

~My.....dream....? It was you! You sent me that dream on purpose, didn't you?~

~Hai, I did.~

~Demo....why, Bakura? Why did you scare me by taking everyone away from me?~

~....Because I wanted to be the only one there to comfort you.~

In the dark space of their minds, Yugi looked up at Bakura confused.

~What do you mean? I don't know what you're talking about, Bakura. Isn't the power of the millenium items the only thing you want?~

Bakura just smirked and shook his head. ~Haven't you been listening to me, my little one? I'm not after the millenium items this time. I want you.~

~But...I don't understand, Bakura......Why do you want me?~ Yugi's face suddenly turned bright red. ~Y-you can't mean that the way it sounds!~

Bakura's smirk widdened. ~I can, and I do, my Yugi.~ He then leaned down and kissed Yugi. After a few minutes, he pulled away, still smirking. ~Did you like that, little Yugi?~

Yugi's face was at least ten different shades of red. Before he could respond the lunch bell rang, snapping both of them back to reality. Yugi grabbed his bag and ran out of the room before Bakura could say anything. He didn't stop running until he reached the Sakura tree where he usually sat with his friends. Yugi was leaning against the tree panting, when Tea, Tristan, Joey, Malik, Ryou, Yami, and Kaiba finally caught up to him.

"Hey Yug, what's with the rush to get out of class?" Joey asked as he looked down at Yugi, who was now sitting at the base of the tree.

"Um...I was just..." Yugi trailed off.

"But more importantly, why on earth were you blushing so much during class?" Ryou asked as he sat down next to Yugi.

"Anno...." Yugi started blushing at the memory. 'I was hoping that no one saw me....' He thought as he looked anywhere except at his friends.

His gaze landed on the boy leaning against the fence on the roof, and the other boy standing across from him. 'I wonder what they're doing up there...'

~*~*~*~*~*On the rooftop~*~*~*~*~*

"Who were you communicating with during class?" Marik asked as he stood in front of Bakura.

"Nobody. What makes you think I was talking to anyone?" Bakura asked casually.

"I'm not an idiot, Bakura. Your Millenium Ring was glowing. You were talking to that child again, weren't you?"

"He's 17 years old Marik, he isn't a child anymore."

"Even if he is 17 in body, he still has the sweet and naive mind of a child."

"There's no need to state the obvious, Marik." Bakura said as he smirked and closed his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"You see, I'm attracted to him because of his innocent personality. His sweet mind is untainted by this creul world we live in."

Marik smirked. "So that's where you, the sadistic evil minded tomb raider, come in?"

"Exactly. I want to show him the world that he couldn't even dream of. To fill his life with excitement and danger that he's never known before."

"Right.....Forget I said anything." Then Marik looked over Bakura's shoulder at the students below. "It seems that the topic of our conversation is looking right at us."

Bakura turned around just in time to see Yugi quickly look away. Marik just smirked.

"Looks like little Yugi Motou has taken an interest in you." Marik said as he watched Yugi and his friends, silently wondering to himself why Malik wasn't with them anymore.

Bakura tuned around with his back facing Marik, and also looked down at the group around the Sakura tree. "Good. That makes my job much easier."

"So tell me, just what is your job?" Marik asked with a raised eyebrow, while silently searching the school grounds for his annoying light.

"You will see in time, Mairk."

~*~*~*~*~*~*By the Sakura tree~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Joey looked up towards the roof and back to his friends. "Just what is it with thoes two sadistic freaks? I thought that they disapeared from the face of the earth, or somethin'."

"Actually Joey, Marik and Bakura have been in Egypt for the past year." Ryou corrected.

"Whatever." That was when Joey noticed something. "Hey, where's Yami, Kaiba, and Malik?"

"Yami and Kaiba disappeared some time ago, and Malik just left to go and find them." Ryou explained.

Just then, Malik walked up to them with a slightly disturbed look on his face.

"Well Malik, did you find them?" Tea asked curiously.

"Yeah, I found them alright. But I really wish that I hadn't." Malik muttered as he sat down next to Yugi.

"What do you mean?" asked Tristan.

"They were making out in Kaiba's limo in the school parking lot!!!!!!!!!!!"

"NANI?!?!?!?!?!" Joey and Tristan yelled so that practically the entire school heard them.

Tea and Ryou stood there shocked, and Yugi continued sitting calmly.

"Well, that would explain a lot." Yugi said outloud to himself thoughtfully.

Everyone looked at Yugi strangly.

"Well you see, Yami always goes over to Kaiba's house around 5 o'clock, and he doesn't get home until about midnight. Plus there are a few more things that I'd rather not mention..." Yugi explained as he blushed lightly.

Before anyone could respond, the bell to end lunch rang.
