Summary: When Ryou and Yugi are left alone for the summer, they are bored out of their skulls until Malik and his buds teach them some things. And when school starts up again, they're totally different kids.

A/n: Well this is my first attempt at a good Yu Gi Oh fic. SO uh please be nice. Oh, and in this fic Yami and Bakura are friends not enemies, Ok?

Last Day of School

BRRIINNG!!

The school bell rang, signifying the start of summer break. Students rushed out of Domino High School, each with their own plans for the summer. Except for two students who walked out of the school slowly. Their heads were hung and their hands were shoved deep into their pockets. They were two of the quietest students in Domino High and two of the strangest- Yugi Motou and Ryou Bakura. Normally their friends surrounded them, but not today.

"Bugger!" Ryou cursed in his British accent. "Everyone's gone for the summer, even our yami's!" Yugi nodded.

"Yeah. Anzu's off to New York for dance classes, Jounouchi and Honda are traveling with Kaiba on that dueling trip."

"How come you weren't invited too that?"

"Kaiba said that I would make the other duelists look bad."

"Oh. I see. So he invited Jou and Honda so the other duelists wouldn't look bad? That's kind of mean." Ryou shook his head. "But that's Kaiba."

"Yeah. And worst of all our yami's are on a plane to Egypt- together!"

Ryou ran his hand through his white locks of hair. "I don't get how Bakura managed to get the tickets." Ryou cocked his head. "Probably stole them." He added as an afterthought.

"Pity the poor souls who serve them on the plane."

As they talked about their misfortune to be the only ones left of their group, they were walking to Yugi's home. The Kame Game Shop. Yugi's grandpa was the owner of the store and him and Yugi had lived in it for years. When they finally reached the shop, Yugi opened the door and yelled, "Grandpa! I'm home!"

Nobody answered. "Mr. Motou?" Ryou called out. Still nobody answered. Yugi walked around until he noticed a piece of paper on the counter.

"Oh, hey! This might be from Grandpa." Yugi snatched up the paper. This is what it said:

Yugi,

My sister in America is dreadfully ill. I'm her only relative left. I must go to her. I may be gone close to two months. Don't worry about a job, I'll wire you some money later. Until I get back the shop is closed. Please behave.

Love, Grandpa

P.S remember to feed Koji. I don't know what I'd do if that cat died.

Yugi groaned. "Now we're really alone. Grandpa is in America!"

Ryou sighed. "Oh, bugger. This summer is turning out to be a major bore." Yugi nodded.

"Well, I guess we have to think of something to do. But, I guess that we should do that tomorrow."

"Right. See you Yugi!" Ryou waved and walked out the door. Yugi didn't move for a while. Then he sighed.

"Well, I guess I should feed the cat."

Ryou reached his apartment. He unlocked the door and collapsed in a chair. "Boring. As usual Dad isn't here." All of a sudden the phone rang. Ryou snatched it off the cradle. "Hello?"

"Hey, Ryou."

Ryou frowned at the voice. It was Malik, Domino's biggest bad boy. Everything Malik did was rebellious. He played guitar for a punk rock band called No Sanity, smoked, wore punk outfits, and led his gang (coincidently also his band) around the city causing havoc. And he had an evil half of him called Marik that most likely was the cause of Malik's rebelliousness. Ryou didn't really trust him, as he was a pretty straight-laced kid.

"What is it Malik?"

"Ryou, word has reached me that you and little Yugi are going to pretty bored this summer."

Ryou did a double take. "How did you know that?"

Malik laughed. "Ryou don't you know that I know pretty much everything? One of my gang boys overheard you two talking."

"So, why the interest?" Ryou didn't know Malik very well, so it didn't make much sense that he would call him up.

"Being the nice guys we are, my gang and I decided that we would help you two cure your boredom. If you are interested, call little Yugi and tell him to meet at the Spike Pit downtown. No doubt that you've heard of it?"

Ryou's mouth went dry. The Spike Pit was a teen hangout were the toughest people hung out. The teens there entertained themselves by chewing rocks and most of the bands that played there used rusty razors as guitar picks. "Um, how do I know that we won't get jumped?"

"Don't worry Ryou-chan. No one will hurt you there. Trust me. When you get there ask for Shiro. He'll get you to me. Then we shall start the fun."

'Well, there isn't much else to do. Why the heck not?' "Fine. See you tomorrow."

"Later." Malik hung up. Ryou just sat there holding the phone, feeling kind of confused. What did Malik have in store for them? Not wanting to think about it he called Yugi.

Next Day.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Ryou groaned. Blasted alarm clock. Shutting it off he hopped into the shower. About twenty minutes later he was dressed and ready to meet Malik at the Spike Pit. As he walked he wondered about Malik's plan for him and Yugi. Yugi had taken some convincing to come to the Spike Pit, but he agreed when Ryou told Yugi of Malik's promise of no one hurting them.

He met up with Yugi at the street corner. "Hey Ryou!" Yugi grinned. Ryou just nodded. Only Yugi could be that optimistic this early. "So, all ready for what Malik has planned?"

"I wish I was. I mean this is Malik we're talking about here! He could bloody well be planning some revenge for you beating him at Battle City. I may only be along for the ride."

"Chill out Ryou. Malik isn't going to do anything." Yugi assured him.

"I guess your right Yugi. I'll calm down." They walked the rest of the trip in silence. When they got to the Spike Pit, there were no sounds at all. No screams, no crazy metal bands, nothing. Ryou shivered. "Okay. Now I am a little freaked out. There should be some noise coming from here."

"Yeah." Yugi agreed. They slowly walked towards the door and reached for the doorknob. But before they could do that the door opened. Ryou's eyes almost popped out of his head when a deep gravelly voice rumbled out of the doorway.

"You guys Yugi and Ryou?"

Ryou gulped. "Yes. Um, we were told to ask for Shiro?"

"Right. Come in." The door swung open and Ryou and Yugi slowly walked into the hangout. "Over here." They turned to see a huge hulk of a teenager standing there. His hair was spiked into a Mohawk and his clothes consisted of ripped jeans and an old jacket. "I'm Shiro. Follow me." He turned and walked to the back of the hangout. They followed.

At the back of the hangout there was a door. Shiro rapped his big knuckles on the door and whispered, "They're here." And the door swung open. Shiro motioned for them to go inside. Ryou and Yugi stepped into the room. The room was fairly large. The walls were covered with various punk bands' posters and there was an old, beat up couch lining the wall. And most of all there were three punkers lounging on the couch, chairs and one on the floor. "Hey! Everybody, its Ryou and Yugi!" Yugi almost fell back at the voice of the person who just called out.

"Otogi?" Yugi asked in surprise.

Otogi got up. It was no surprise that Yugi didn't recognize him. Otogi was wearing all black, with a mesh shirt that had several patches sewn onto it. The sleeves were long enough to cover his hands and little holes were cut out so he could stick his thumbs out. His shoes were black Chuck Taylor's and he wore baggy pants that exposed his boxers to the world. The only thing holding them up was his studded belt. Dice earrings hung from both ears and his lip was pierced with a little silver ball. "Of course man. How ya doing? Haven't seen you since I moved out of Domino High."

"Oh, I'm fine. Just what happened to you? You weren't like this before." It was true. Otogi was never really all for punk styles. He even bothered Yugi on his leather and buckle fetish.

"Well, I met Malik. He gave me sort of a makeover so to speak." Before Yugi could say anything another familiar voice interrupted.

"Hey, Otogi. Don't hog the boys." Both Yugi and Ryou almost fell over at this person.

"Um, Mai?" They both gaped. Mai certainly did look different. To say the least. Her long blond hair has cut shorter and streaked with blue. Her clothes were baggy, except for her shirt, which was tight and black with 'RANCID' scrawled in white jagged letters. A black spiked collar was strapped to her throat. She had tons of black jelly bracelets hanging off her wrists. She wore baggy army pants and black skate shoes. Even more surprising was the Harpy Lady tattoo on her stomach and the skateboard at her feet.

"That's my name." Mai grinned and went back to painting her nails.

The last guy was a smiling teenager wearing a white wife beater and black pants held up with one red belt and had two other ones wrapped around his hips in a X. He wore red Chuck Taylor's and had spiky blond hair. He looked at the two surprised teens. "So these are the two lucky dudes Malik was talking about. This is gonna be fun!"

Yugi looked confused. "What are we so lucky about?"

The blond smiled. "You'll see. Anyway name's Cloud. Malik should be here soon."

All of the punks, including Shiro, were grinning like the Cheshire Cat and looking at the two teens like they knew something they didn't. Ryou nervously shifted on his feet. What was taking Malik so bloody long! Otogi dug into a mesh bag beside him and pulled out a CD carrier. Flipping through his CDs he stopped at one and grinned. "Music?" he asked.

Ryou shrugged. "If it'll pass time." Yugi just nodded. Otogi grinned even wider and popped it into a beat up stereo. He flipped through the songs until he got to one he liked. Then he cranked the volume. Punky riffs blared through the stereo speakers.

We ain't got no place to go

So let's go to the Punk Rawk Show!

Darling, take me by the hand

We'll go see a punk rock band!

The song was quite unfamiliar with Ryou and Yugi. They hadn't heard anything like it before. The three others nodded their heads and mouthed the lyrics. Ryou eventually found himself tapping his feet to the bass line. Then the door burst open. Everyone jumped up and Otogi switched off the stereo. Malik and Marik were standing there grinning like nutcases.

Malik's outfit consisted of black baggy shorts, chains, and combat boots. His black shirt had a grinning skull on it. One of his forearms was covered in a gray sock with black stripes. "Hello, you two." His grin broke even wider.

Marik was idly playing with a knife. He was wearing a tight mesh shirt with a leather jacket over top. His leather pants were tucked into knee-high boots that had buckles. Then a collar was fastened to his neck and several belts were wrapped around his waist. In short he looked like Yami. He looked up and grinned wildly. "This is gonna be fun."

Yugi cocked an eyebrow. "Okay. Everyone has said that so far. What are you guys grinning about?" Ryou nodded.

"Yeah. You guys seem to have something up your sleeves."

Malik smiled. "Well, you see everyone once in a while we take a couple of teens and totally change their image. Otogi and Mai were our first." He nodded at them. "Cloud came after them and Shiro, well he found us."

"And after that, we all joined Malik's gang. A month later Malik and Marik started a band. We all got into it." Otogi piped up. "I've never regretted Malik's makeover. It's made my life interesting."

Ryou nodded thoughtfully. "So your telling us that Malik is gonna turn us into punks for entertainment?" He frowned. "I don't know."

Yugi grinned. "Yes! This is gonna be fun!" He bounced excitedly. Ryou stared at his friend.

"Yugi? What the heck has gotten into you?" Yugi turned to Ryou and said.

"Ryou, this is are chance to give our friends a bit of a surprise. They probably will never leave us alone again!" A slow smile spread across Ryou's face.

"Yeah. Malik, sign me up!" Ryou exclaimed.

Malik's grin stretched even wider. "Well, let's get going. We have a long day ahead of us."

Little did Ryou and Yugi know that their life was about to take a drastic turn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/n: Yeah I know. It seems kinda lame. But I am going to make this work. Why? Because Ryou and Yugi need some rebelliousness. It's not natural for a teen to be that polite. Well, see ya next time! And until then Review Review Review!
