Dear Diary,
I never thought that one man could change my life. Until he arrived.
It all started one day, at school. I was sat with Ryo and his friends. Never understood why he liked them. They're very annoying with their talk of card games. At least Ryo's here, the only reason I put up with these geeks. You just can't say no to those eyes, chocolate eyes you just fall straight into. Anyway, I was sat in the canteen when I first saw him, he was stood in the lunch queue. Tall, tanned, shoulder-length blond hair. A lavender (midriff bearing) t shirt, cream pants with a well toned arse. CRAP, he saw me. I looked away, but had the burning sensation to look back. I did, he was still looking, he seemed to have the same idea I did. He saw me, and sheepishly looked back to the queue. Who was he? Was he new? Both of these questions were about to be answered sooner than I thought.
Science was, and still is, boring. Especially as the previous week my partner, Espa Roba, he an "unfortunate accident" with a bunsen burner and moved schools. And I used to copy off of him. Well today we're supposed to be doing some experiment with some weird acid and sodium stuff. It was boring and hard. I can barely read this stupid, long-winded crap. Everyone else knew exactly what to do. Well I say everyone. It seems two of Ryo's little friends, one with blond, puffy hair and the other a girl are struggling more than me. The former cursing under his breath as the flame went out for a 4th time. Add the sodium hy-dro-xi- OH FORGET IT! Boring, long-winded, crappy, son of a b-
"Sorry I'm late," a voice said walking into the classroom. "Oh there's no teacher. Great." It was him, from lunch. "Is this seat taken?" He said pointing to Roba's old seat.
"No. You can sit there,"
"Cool. What are we doing?" He asked, referring to the bubbling mess in front of me. (The experiment)
"Erm, I have no idea." I replied looking at the instructions, and then back at the bunsen. The contents of the bowl on top was bubbling over and spilling green stuff everywhere.
"Pass me the paper." I did. He looked at it confused. "Oh this says there should be charcoal in it."
"Well, we need to get it off the thing."
"How can we? It's like 100°C"
"I don't know!"
"It seems the great Akefia Bakura can't even control a little corrosive chemical" a mocking voice said from behind us"
"Shut up Moto, I'm dealing with it." I retorted, not even turning away from the mess.
"Who's that?" the boy asked me.
"Atem Moto. The older of the Moto brothers. Bit of a dick."
"I heard that." Atem shouted.
"You were supposed to."
"So your Akefia?" he asked me.
"Yeah. But people just call me Bakura. And you are..."
"Malik. Ishtar. My brother goes here. One year up. Mariku."
"Ah the human palm tree?"
"Yeah thats him."
"So, how come you just moved here?"
"I've been having family issues."
"I'll ask no more."
"It would be appreciated." I turned back to the experiment to see it had completely covered our desk with green liquid.
"Erm, Malik. We may be in trouble."
"WE? I got here 5 minutes ago."
"No not like that! Smart arse behind said this stuff is corrosive. Which, if I'm correct, means that stuff will burn our skin if we touch it." We both immeadiantly stood up as the liquid found it's way to the end of the desk. Just then the teacher walked in.
"Pack up ya stuff and get out. I've got markin to do. See ya's Monday."
"Finally, Akefia, meet me outside. Something I gotta tell ya." Atem shouted at me.
"Oh, aren't I the lucky one." I replied walking out of the door. I stopped a little to the left. I might as well here what he has to say. Ryo's in his brothers class anyway. He walked out and saw me waiting. Malik rushed out behind him.
"Akefia, say goodbye to your new girlfriend." Atem teased.
"Oh haha. But there's 2 things wrong with your theory. a) the he's a boy and b) I'm with Ryo!"
"Oh yeah. Forgot about that." The girl, who was working with the puffy haired blond kid, rushed past Atem. He grabbed her arm.
"Anzu, baby, where you goin in such a hurry?"
"Home?"
"I thought we were dropping off the youngun's and goin out?"
"We are, but I'm not going in my uniform."
"Ok. Meet at mine at about 4."
"Ok see ya later. Bye Bakura."
"Whatever." I was seriously bored by now. I wanted to get home. The girl walked away.
"Right, Akefia, I'll be seein ya." He tried to walk away, I grabbed his arm.
"What did you want to ask me?"
"What gave you the impression I wanted to talk to you?"
"The facet you said Akefia, meet me outside."
"I don't remember that. Your losing it Akefia."
"Stop calling me that. I hate it."
"That's why I call you Akefia, Akefia."
"Stop it now, or regret your words." My fists clenched.
"Aaaw, is widdle Akefia getting angwy?" I had to punch the bastard. I stared at him, burning him with an evil stare.
"Come on, Akefia, hit me! If you can." That's it.
"Right Moto!" I was just about to punch him, when I heard the one person, I didn't want to hear.
"Kura? What are doing?" Ryo said from behind me. I dropped my hand, and turned to face him. He had tears in his eyes.
"Ryo! He was being an arse."
"I don't care! You said you would hurt anyone anymore!" He was angry as tears streamed down his face, he ran to the toilets. To make matters worse, the younger Moto and his friends were with him.
"What did you say about my brother?"
"Not now Yugi." I said pushing past him.
"Look, we just want to know what you said about Atem, and we'll drop the matter." one of them said.
"So just tell us, or me and Honda are gonna have to hurt you." the puffy haired one from earlier added.
"I've not got time, so just move." I said trying to get through them. Honda grabbed my shirt collar and hoisted me off of the floor.
"Tell us what you said!"
"Put me down, you wanker!" His puffy friend punched my stomach.
"TELL US!"
"Fine then I said he was being an arse. Now if you'll put me down, I have to go."
"But you see, we just can't do that."
"Why not."
"Because, Yugi's our friend, and Atem's Yugi's brother. And insulting him is just insulting Yugi. And we don't like it when someone insults Yugi."
"Plus he called Honda a wanker." a girl behind them added.
"Serenity! Don't use that language!" the puffy one shouted turning to her.
"Sorry Joey." she whimpered. She only looked about 12.
"Please just let me go."
"Let him go." Yugi said from behind me. "I have no reason for him to be here."
"But Yug!"
"Honda, drop him." He did, literally.
"Gently," I added as I landed on the floor with a thud. Yugi then walked over to me.
"Insult my family or friends again. And I wont let you leave. But since you need to see Ryo, I'll let you off with a warning." He booted me in the head, and it bloody hurt! They then walked away. I got up and ran to the toilets. I got there and could hear crying coming from a stall. I pushed open the door, and was surprised. It was Malik.
"What? Why? Where's Ryo?"
"A boy came in here earlier but left about 5 minutes ago." he said through his tears.
"Shit! Why are you crying?"
"It's just, nothing." he cryed harder.
"It must be something, people don't just cry for nothing."
"You wouldn't want to know."
"I'm here aren't I?" He grabbed some toilet paper and wiped his eyes.
"Well, it was about a month ago. Back in Egypt, where I'm from, and Mariku came to visit. He was kicked out of our 'house' about 5 years ago ,when he rejected his role as a tomb keeper. As the oldest real son, I had to take the initiation, which involved the ancient scriptures to be carved into my back."
"And that's why your crying?"
"Not exactly. Anyway, Mariku came to visit me, Ishizu, (my sister) and Odion (my adoptive brother). Father tryed to force him to leave and...I can't!" He started to cry again. I knew I had to do something, and there was only one thing I could think of. I pulled up off the toilet and pulled him into a hug. He was shocked, but a good shocked. He started crying into my shoulder.
"Then what happened."
"Mariku, he killed my father!" He cryed harder. I don't know if it was the emotion in the air or a concussion. But I found myself pulling out of the hug. Malik went to sit down, but my hands had a mind of their own and grabbed his face. And pulled him into a kiss. This shocked Marik, but shocked myself more. When I realised what I was doing I pulled away quickly.
"Bakura, are you here?" Ryo shouted from outside.
"That never happened!" I said to Malik before tunring to leave.
"Ok." Malik said, sounding a little better than before. I walked out to see Ryo looking for me.
"Where were you?" he asked.
"Looking for you!"
"I left about 10 minutes ago, Yugi passed me and said you were still inside."
"I was looking for you, I didn't know you'd left. Plus your friends did beat me up!"
"I'm sorry. Are you still hurt?" he asked looking concerned.
"Just a headache, Yugi kicked me in the head."
"Poor Kura." he pulled me close for a hug. I don't know why that happened before. But I kinda want it to happen again! Ryo's sweet and innocent, but Malik's a tortured soul, with pent up anger. What am I saying? I just don't know anymore!
Author's Notes
What do you think? No flames please only constructive crictcism. I'm not normally good at Theifshipping, but you can judge for yourself.
Reviews please! Insult and Yami Becca comes out to play! (randomer screams in pain)
Becca: Yami! What have I told you?
Yami Becca: Girl called you a bitch
Becca Fair enough
Plus I need new ideas for this and someone needs to find them at one point, but I don't know who, and it can't be Ryo.
Have changed Marik to Malik and Melvin to Mariku, for confusion reasons
