Chapter 1
Yugi awoke one morning after having a disturbing dream.
Yugi got out of bed and dressed and looked at his puzzle on his desk. He knew Yami was inside and was still asleep. So he decided to take a day off from him.
The two of them were always together, and always will be, yet right now he needed to think and be by himself. Also since there were a few tests today, his mind was already too full to deal with anything else.
For the past four nights he had tried to study, but Yami was lying on the bed re-arranging their deck and talking about new strategies they should use if someone was to play this card, or that card, and after the third night they got in a fight.
"That enough Yami!" Yugi turned from his desk and squared off at Yami
"Yugi?" Yami looking at him surprised
"I am trying to study; I can't think about dueling right now, I mean how many times do you have to re-arrange our deck? You just did it the other day!" Yugi
"But Yugi.." Yami shocked and dumfounded
"That's enough! I have enough to deal with right now and I have had it!" Yugi
"But" Yami
"Into your chamber NOW!" Yugi pointing to the Puzzle on the desk
Without a word Yami did just that and Yugi grabbed the deck and threw it in one of the desk drawers---End of Flashback
"I just can't deal with you right now pal" Yugi looked at the puzzle and left his room, went down the stairs, and out of the house to go to school
…
…
While walking down the street Yugi was glaring down at the sidewalk, but lost in his thoughts
"We haven't even talked to each other, or have seen each other since then. I miss him, but I just have too much to do, to talk about dueling. That is all he wants to talk about and I can't stand it" Yugi a bit frustrated
"Muttering to yourself, or to the pharaoh?" Ryou asked
"Huh, hey how are you?" Yugi asking Ryou
"Oh fine, so who were you talking to?" Ryou
The two of them joined each other and began to head to school
"Oh I left him home today" Yugi
"That explains why you look like you lost your best friend, did you two have a fight?" Ryou
"Yeah" Yugi sighing and looking to the ground
"I see, well don't worry." Ryou making Yugi look up "I always have arguments with Bakura"
"Really, I guess you would" Yugi smiling
"He's a handful, but in the end, we know we don't mean it" Ryou looking off in the distance "Things will be fine, a break may be just what you two need right now"
"Did you leave your ring at home too?" Yugi noticing it was gone
"Yep, I need to focus on our tests today" Ryou said seeming almost proud of himself
"Me too" Yugi smiling
The two smiled at each other and continued walking side by side, just then they were runned over by Malik
"What was that for" Ryou slowly getting up
"Sorry, I am leaving Marik at home and I was in a hurry" Malik getting up with Yugi's help
"Well that's funny, we did too" Yugi smiling at Malik
"I had to leave before he awoke" Malik panting hard
"We understand lets get to school" Ryou
The three headed to school and were laughing at how it was funny they all thought the same thing.
…
…
Just then Yami awoke from his slumber, and decided he had to apologize to Yugi.
(I should have known better anyway. He told me he had to study and I was being inconsiderate) Yami made up his mind and got out of his puzzle
"Yugi?" Yami looking around the room and noticed he wasn't there
(Where is he?) Yami to himself
"Yugi!" Yami screamed as he fell to his knees
….
….
…
Yugi, Ryou, and Malik were on their way to school
"We are an hour early" Ryou looking at his watch
"Really?" Yugi a bit surprised
"I don't doubt it, I left in a hurry, but I wanted to leave early, (Growwwwl-His stomach) I am hungry lets go eat." Malik pointing to a Breakfast Joint across the street
The others agreed and they went in, ordered their food and sat down. After a few bites they began to talk again.
"So what happened to you and Bakura?" Yugi asked in between bites
"Did something happen?" Malik a bit surprised by this current news
"Are you kidding" Ryou astonished "Of course something happened, what doesn't happen?"
The others looked puzzled and just stared at him
"For the past five nights, I have been listening to his list making, from stealing techniques to bank robberies. I told him to be quiet so I could study and he got mad" Ryou looking up at the ceiling "Then we got into an argument last night, about how he thinks my going to school is just nonsense, and how I should be devoting myself to taking all the pharaohs riches" He took a breathe, and looked at Yugi "Finally I banished him to his chamber of course that didn't last long, he was out a few minutes later with new ideas and then we argued all over again. Finally I went to sleep."
"…" Yugi astonished at how the stories were almost similar
"Well that's better than my story" Malik finishing his breakfast
"Huh?" Others
"Mine literally destroyed my reports, homework and half my books, and said I should be devoting myself to killing the pharaoh and ruling the world." Malik "Since he would interrupt my studying I banished him too. Then he got out thirty minutes later and made me sit and listen to all the strategies he came up with and told me how I should be pleased." Malik
Everyone laughed to lighten the mood
"So any ideas about what we should tell our Yamis later" Ryou said as they got up
They tossed their items in the trash and walked outside side by side with Yugi in the middle
"I mean should we just tell them we need time to ourselves." Ryou
"Mine would go insane no matter what I tell him" Malik looked up at the sky "No matter what I tell Marik he will be pissed off…if I still have a house to go home too" he sighed
"I can see how you would be in a predicament one way or the other" Yugi "I don't know what to tell Yami, either way he'd be hurt"
Yugi didn't like the idea of hurting Yami; still he didn't know what else to do. He needed time to himself and it is true without him he feels incomplete, but to tell him he didn't want his company…Even if it was true, he could never tell him that.
They arrived to their classroom and smiled as they sat down in their seats
At the same time
Bakura came out of the ring into Ryou's room. He too saw that there was no sign of his light either.
"That's odd, where could the brat be?" Bakura looking around the room
Bakura realized that since Ryou's uniform was missing, he knew he must've gone to school.
"Still, to leave the ring behind? That is unusual" Bakura picking up the ring from the desk
Bakura began to get mad; he realized he was left behind, and alone…
…
…
And
…
Marik awoke as well…but he was tearing Maliks' room apart.
"WHERE ARE YOU! COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!" Marik screaming
Marik figured that Malik was just hiding and needed to be found, so he was doing his best to find him only he didn't have much luck.
"Is it possible….-after twenty minutes-….I was left behind and….on purpose?" Marik finally coming to grips with himself and sat on the bed covered in pillow feathers
…
…
And in Yugis' room
…
(Where is he?)
Yami looked around the room hoping to see or feel some sign of Yugi's presence still being there.
"Could….Yugi have been kidnapped?" Yami beginning to panic
The eye on Yamis' forehead began to glow and his body became all dark and his aura was beginning to glow.
"If someone….has taken Yugi away…They will pay dearly" Yami in a cold and pissed off voice
Then just as he was about to call on the demons of the underworld to kill the one responsible….something dawned on him.
"What if Yugi just left me behind?" Yami beginning to think and get depressed at the same time
(Could he have been that mad at me?) Yami
Yami began to remember how Yugi banished him to his chamber and how upset he was. Still even if he was mad he wouldn't leave the puzzle unprotected…Would he?
"No I can't believe that, something must be wrong." Yami thinking as he held the puzzle in his hands, he then looked down at it and rubbed his thumb over the eye.
Yami finally saw the time on the clock above Yugi's bed and realized perhaps he was in a hurry and forgot to grab the puzzle off the desk. He figured since he would be at school he would have to wait till he got home to discuss the issue. So Yami put the puzzle back on the desk and went back in the puzzle to wait.
And At school
The class just began and Yugi was already lost in his thoughts. Yugi gazed out the window and wondered if Yami had gotten up, and he wondered what his reaction would be when he saw he had been left behind.
(Maybe I should've woken him up to let him know I was leaving…But if I did then he'd be mad I left him behind…Then we would've argued again.) Yugi sighed and was too busy thinking that he didn't realize the whole class was staring at him.
It wasn't until Ryou had shoved him from behind to get his attention that he noticed the room was silent and that they were all looking at him.
"What!" Yugi turning around upset
"Nothing but..." Ryou looking at Yugi with sad eyes
"Is there something the two of you would like to share with the rest of us? There must be you have been ignoring me even though I had been calling you for the past three minutes to answer question 15. Tell me what it is, please share with all of us" Teacher heading toward his desk
"Well nothing really" Yugi blushed scratching his head
"Please, do tell" Teacher was glaring at Yugi then to Ryou and bent over Yugi's' desk to look at him eye to eye
"Well if you really want to know" Yugi glaring at him straight in the eyes he was beginning to get mad at him for being a snoop "Though it is of no concern to you, I had a fight with myself last night, he kept interrupting my studies…All he wanted to do was talk about strategies and the different cards I have in my deck…I get so fed up with it I banished him to his chamber and I haven't talked to him since, I was just wondering what his reaction would be when he awoke this morning…Then you interrupted my train of thoughts"-Turning to Ryou behind him
"I understand, still I thought you wanted to know that he was calling you. (He then looked down at his desk; he didn't like Yugi being mad at him) I already figured that was what you are thinking about I was too." Ryou looking at Yugi apologetically
"Yeah no kidding" Malik joining in the conversation, and rested his head on the back on his hand
At this point of time the teacher stood up straight and watched them talk to each other, he was fed up. He thought they were being smart, and trying to make fun of him.
"DETENTION ALL THREE OF YOU!" Teacher hollering out loud
"What no way!" Malik pounding his hands on the desk and standing up
"Yeah, you don't want to do that!" Ryou shoving him back in his seat
"Oh and why not?" Teacher crossing his arms
"Well if we don't get home they will get worried, and may begin to cause trouble" Malik trying to be sensible
"I think I can handle you three just fine, now, turn to page 194" Teacher turning around and walking back to the board.
"Yeah but it isn't us you have to worry about" Ryou closing his eyes and sighing
He knew he could leave Bakura home till about 3p, but to leave him alone till 6p was another story. He had been in detentions before, mainly due to Bakura, but to get a detention on his own merit and to leave him alone for so long may cause a little more trouble than even he realized.
Joey knew what they were talking about; still he was still in shock over hearing that Yami and Yugi had a fight.
He knew his little buddy may need a little help and he was going to be there for him.
The bell rang for third hour to begin.
For the last hour he had been trying to get Yugi's attention but to no avail finally he had hollered out his name in the hallway when they were switching classes, only to find him slapped with a detention himself.
"Awe man" Joey scratching his head and turning to go to class in the opposite direction
Yugi didn't pay mind to the event that had happened behind him. He was walking with Ryou and Malik and they were all in a daze over the detention they just received for no reason.
Finally their attention was interrupted when a girl rammed into them knocking them down.
"Sorry Yugi" Anzu said laughing
"Look I don't have time for you right now so buzz off!" Yugi said pissed off and walks away
Malik and Ryou were stunned they never have seen him act like that. They ran after him as soon as Anzu broke down into tears.
"Jerk! Just Go Away!" Anzu said as she ran away crying
Just as soon as they caught up with him the three of them burseted out laughing.
"Man Yugi what was that all about?" Malik
"Sorry, I'm having a bad day I guess" Yugi sighing
"You guess, Man the day is just beginning" Ryou
The three of them laughed again and continued to go to their next class.
