Disclaimer: Don't own Yu-gi-oh. Big surprise! I mean if I did own it, why would I bother wasting my time writing fic.'s? I just make it reality. He He He… anyway, this is going to be a semi-serious fic. (I.e. Not script form) so, good luck 2 me! And I haven't yet thought of a plot, so…Ha ha! One may develop after awhile, so start reading!

Chapter One

"Joey, for god's sake, WAKE UP!" their teacher yelled, whacking his meter stick on Joey's desk. Joey didn't move, except to rollover with a little snore. Yugi, sensing a serious confrontation arising, reached over and pinched Joey between the ribs. "Yipe!" Joey yelped, clutching hid side, looking angrily at Yugi. "Joey Wheeler, this is the third time today you've fallen asleep in class!" Mr. Yoshi reminded him. Joey slowly turned to face him, his apologetic grin plastered on his face. "Well, teach, I'd like to…"

"NO Joey!" Mr. Yoshi interrupted, scowling down on him. "I'll here no more of your excuses! The next time you fail to pay attention in my class, I'll…" But just before Mr.Yoshi could tell Joey exactly what he was going to do, the bell signaling the end of the day rang, causing Joey to leap 4 feet in the air. Running out of the class before every other student, Mr.Yoshi called after "I'll give you detention for the rest of your life!" No sooner had the words finished being spoken, the rest of the class was gone, leaving him alone with the ever-present walls. Letting his face fall into his hands, he mumbled a silent, "why do I bother…"

"Oh gosh, I can't wait for the weekend!" Yugi half spoke half yawned, desperately trying to reach the top shelf of his locker. Fingers almost touching the rim, he suddenly felt a strong arm close around his middle, lifting him up to the long-lost-out-of-reach shelf.
Surprised, Yugi twisted around best he could to see who this anonymous helper was. His eye widened when he saw who it was. "Bakura!" He squealed, throwing himself around the other boy's neck. Startled, Bakura took a few steps back before pulling off the excited 6-year old-looking teenager.
"But why are you here?" Yugi questioned after he had been tenderly set on the ground. "I thought you were supposed to be in the hospital!" Eyes flicking down to the bandage on his left arm, Bakura'ss eye's faded a little. "I'm fine. I got better awhile ago. So, what's new with you guys?"
"Well. We're still trying to find that creep Marik, so we can kick his butt! Tea said proudly. (A/n: she doesn't swear, so I had to soften it a bit) Bakura shot her a burning scowl. "You mean so Yugi can 'kick his butt'. " He's voice had that tone that told everyone around not to question him. "Well, I-I j-just thought-" she stammered, trying to catch her voice. Bakura shot her another look, silencing her. "I see," he said. "You haven't found him yet?" Bakura asked turning to Yugi. "Nope," Yugi said, still cheerful through it all. "But we're hot on his trail! It won't be long!" Joey added in as he joined the group. "Come on guys! You wanna tag along Bakura?"
"no thanks," he replied, his sweet tone having returned to soften hi voice. "I got some homework to do."

"Suit yourself" Joey called back before running down the street, making absurd Tarzan calls to his unseen animal friends.

Bakura trugged down the street hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky. He was supposed to meet with Malik tonight to discuss more ways to kill Yugi. "I wonder why…" he whispered to himself. After all, he didn't really want to hurt anybody. It just wasn't him. Maybe he could convince Malik to give it up. Flopping down on a grassy bank to think, he twirled a fresh dandelion in his fingers. Tucking his knees up to himself and lacing his arms around them, he whispered to himself "I just don't want to see Malik get hurt…" Bakura Froze, his eyes wide. What had he just said? He couldn't honestly have meant that, it just popped out…Good god! He thought, as he shot to his feet.

"Am I falling in love?!"
