Hey! After a wee while I have finally written another fic between my higher prelims! Phew! Lol! Its sort of a tester chapter to see if people like it or not… So if people hate it, I wont post any more… Well it's the Yugioh cast (some of them) starring in a school production of Romeo and Juliet. I know what you're thinking… "typical story" but I've enjoyed writing a few chapters and I hope you enjoy it too :) Please comment on how you think its doing and whether or not I should post any more. Enough of my ranting… hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or any of William Shakespeare's work mentioned in the story.

Domino High presents: Romeo and Juliet…

Chapter 1

"…Next! Please dear… find some talent!" cried Ms Williams, as she signalled one of her students off the stage. The rest of the class- who were lined up at the wings- let out a sigh as they waited for their turn to be told they had all be born with no star quality. "Common guys and gals! This is going to be a school production… not a… bloody…sh…" She took a deep breath to calm herself down, "… um… now class, studying Shakespeare during English is very important…" All of the students sniggered, everyone apart from Tea that is.

"Well those who laugh are idiots," she huffed, crossing her arms.

"And you're not a bloody idiot all the time?" scowled Joey angrily.

"God sake guys! Cant we all just shut it and get this over with!!???" cried Yugi over the rabble of voices. The sound if the auditorium doors opening echoed as someone entered. Ms Williams swivelled round and smiled.

"Ahhh… hello Yami! And where may I ask were you??"

"Sorry Miss… Um… I forgot we were in here…" he lied. All the same Ma Williams smiled broadly at him.

"Here's a few pages of the script…" she handed him a slim booklet of paper, "…go and join your class mates back stage, only three have been heard…" she said. Yami smiled,

"Right Miss…" he replied, attempting to sound enthusiastic as he pushed himself up onto the stage.

"Yami! Cooeee!!" squealed Tea, waving at him. Yami rolled his eyes and waved to her lazily, as he joined his friends.

"Hey Yami… where you been man?" asked Tristan, giving Yami a high five.

"Well I was trying to take as long as possible so I didn't have to embarrass myself doing this…" he replied gloomily, giving Yugi, Joey and Ryou high fives also, "…and it hasn't really worked… jeez… are we still doing this!!???" he groaned angrily, flicking through the booklet.

"Yeah… we're doing a production for the school…" giggled Yugi as he watched Yami's facial expressions, "…so I'm guessing it'll be this for a good while…"

"Great…" said Yami, folding his arms. The shrill voice of Ms Williams was heard from the seats.

"Right people! First three people come onto the stage… and can all of you turn to page 11…" The sound of turning pages was all that could be heard. The first three in the line went out onto the stage and began reciting lines. Yami nudged Yugi's arm.

"At least I've got my best bud in my group…" he winked. Yugi blushed and nodded.

"Well I hope she doesn't change the numbers…" Yami nodded,

"Yeah cause… argh! Tea!" Tea had appeared out of no where and linked arms with Yami.

"You ready for our speaking parts Yami… or should I say Romeo?" Yami gently pulled away and stood back beside Yugi.

"Sorry Tea… I'm paired woth Yugi and Ryou…" he said, placing an arm over Yugi's shoulders, "… but maybe next time…" Tea frowned,

"Yuhuh… well don't blame me if you get crap parts…" she scowled, turning on her heel and walking away.

"Next three please…"came Miss Williams voice. Ryou, Yami and Yugi walked out onto the stage. "Oh dear, we've got three boys… do you want to swap in a girl for Juliet's role?"

"Nah it's fine miss, we're all fine actors we don't complain." Replied Yami briskly. Miss Williams smiled,

"Right… Yami you read Romeo and Ryou- Mercutio," they both nodded and started.

'Give me a torch. I am not for this ambling:

Being but heavy, I will bear the light,' began Yami, getting into character.

'Nay gentle Romeo, we must have you dance.'

'Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes

With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead

So takes me to the ground I cannot move.'

'You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings,

And soar with them above a common bound.'

Ms Williams clapped along with Yugi and the rest of the less successful candidates in the audience. Yami patted Ryou on the back and said well done, befor the two of them laughed and bowed.

"Jeezo Yami! I didn't know you were such a good actor, " whispered Ryou with a smile. Before Yami could answer Ms Williams voice boomed,

"Bravo-bravo- both of you were fabulous! Yugi are you sure you don't mind reading Juliet?" Yugi smiled.

"Not at all Miss…" he said sweetly.

"Right turn to page 19, so Yami can you be Romeo again…" she began writing something down in her notepad. Yugi watched her nervously and paled slightly.

"Psst… Yugi…" Yugi looked over to Yami, "… you'll do great…" he said with a wink. Yugi smiled and felt a lot better. He looked down ay the script and gulped.

'A romantic scene? Oh god- oh god!' he panicked to himself.

"On you go then…" beamed Ms Williams. Yami started.

'My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss' Yugi took a deep breath.

'Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,

Which mannerly devotion shows in this;

For saints have hands that pilgrim's hands do touch' he looked up at Yami,

'And palm to palm is holy palmer's kiss.' Yami also glanced up at Yugi and smiled,

'Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?'

'Ay pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer'

'Oh then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do!

They pray: grant thou, let faith…" both Yami and Yugi caught each other's gaze. Yami winked as he spoke while Yugi stood silently blushing.

'…lest faith turn to despair'

'Saints do not more, though grant for prayer's sake'

'Then move not, while my prayers' effect I take

Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purg'd' As Yami said this, Yugi felt butterflies in his stomach. Why was he feeling like this? It was Yami… his best friend since… well, forever! But this feeling, it felt right. It felt soothing to hear Yami speak Shakespearian to him… it was amazing-dreamy-fantastic and most of all it felt magical. None of the feelings which he had felt before for anyone. He glanced up and caught Yami's eye once again. Surprisingly he saw Yami blush slightly as he watched Yugi. Could he be thinking the same things too? Yugi shook his head slightly before speaking.

'Then have my lips the sin that they have took.' A lot of clapping was heard from the audience and from Ms Williams.

"You weren't lying when you said you were actors! Fantastic! Bravo!" she beamed, before writing furiously in her note pad. The pair bowed and smiled before walking off the stage to meet Ryou.

"Bloody hell!! That was amazing! Jeez where did you learn to act like that?? You have to teach me!!" he laughed.

"Well without the fair Juliet I wouldn't have been Romeo," chuckled Yami.

"And without a brilliant Romeo it wouldn't have been the same!" giggled Yugi.

"Well common guys let's sit down with the other people and watch the rest of them… I wonder how Joey will do??" sniggered Ryou, as the three of them began walking to the seats in the auditorium. Yami stopped,

"I'll be there in a mo…" he rattled his brains for an excuse, "I need… I need…"

'Bloody hell, think of an excuse!!! Think-think-think…'

"Um… you need what Yami?" asked Yugi confused. Yami shook his head,

"I need to go the toilet…" he blurted out. 'Smooth one Yami…' "So uh… I'll meet you in a wee minute…" he blushed, as he walked quickly in the opposite direction, leaving his two friends. He ran into the bathroom and went straight to the sinks. He turned on the cold water tap and splashed water on his face and looked into the mirror. His cheeks were flushed pink as he continued dabbing his face with water.

"God… why do I feel like this!" he breathed, looking at himself in the mirror, "…it's only Yugi! He's my best friend… but I like it…" he began drying his face with his sleeve. "It just feels right… I mean… I can't even look at him without my heart dancing…" he sighed, "… up there with Yugi just felt so…magical." He sorted his hair in the mirror and smiled before leaving to meet Ryou and Yugi in the auditorium.

TBC?

What do you think? Does it deserve to be continued, or is it rubbish? Please leave your comments so I know whether to post the next chapter. Thanks again :)
