Rea: Ok this is the sequel to Lovely Rivalry…yes it was a one-shot but I had a few people ask me to keep going with it. I came up with the name because their love is divided by Yami's friendships…and it deals with school too. So I am. Well here is the first chapter…enjoy and HAPPY ALL HALLOW'S EVE!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and sadly never will. But I do own the plot line and story. Thank you and enjoy.
(Hint: the 'blah' around words means Yami is thinking…and yes this is Yami's POV…it's first person.)
Love Divided By Friends
Chapter 1: School
School is a bore and pointless tome. Then again it could be that by going back to school and being around the gang, with a secret, will be hard. Being a dark to my light, Yugi, and keeping a secret isn't very loyal. It's the hardest secret I've ever had to keep. I'm dating my long time rival, hated enemy, despised by all Seto Kaiba but I couldn't be happier in my life.
//First Day of School//
I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock. As I slam my hand onto the off button Yugi waltzes into my room; toothbrush sticking out of his mouth and his hands working his shirt buttons. He's rushing. After finishing with his shirt he pulls the toothbrush from his mouth and speaks to me, "You should start getting ready for school, Yami. It is our senior year." With that I listen as Yugi walks back into the bathroom and shuts the door. I sigh and change into my uniform.
I walk out of the Kame Game Shop, backpack slung over my shoulder, with Yugi to the awaiting gang at the door. I sigh mentally, 'I hope I don't have lunch with any of them.' We begin walking to school. At school I tell the gang that I will be in homeroom in a few minutes. Joey questions me, "We could wait, help you out if you need it?" I blurt out another lie, "It's ok I will only be a few." Yugi sighs, he knows I'm lying, "We'll see you in homeroom then." With that said and done Yugi walks off with the gang. I walk over to a sakura tree and wait for Seto.
Within minutes he comes over to me and embraces me. Following the embrace, he looks at me sternly, "Have you told anyone?" "No," I reply. He leans down and I can feel his breath on my ear, "I love you…so much." "I love you too. But we need to get to homeroom," I state clearly. So with one last peck on my cheek he walks away.
As I sit in homeroom I look over my schedule: 1st is science, 2nd is English, 3rd is history, 4th is math, 5th gym, 6th is study hall/homeroom. I have the last lunch too…after 4th. I also notice that I have a couple classes with the gang. The only classless I don't have with them is history. The gang gets up and hangs around Yugi. Seto walks by my desk dropping a small neatly folded note. The note says what his schedule is. Except I discover that I don't have science or history with him, but I do have lunch with him. The gang turns to me and Tristan speaks up, "You're going to sit with us at lunch right?" I put on my fake plastic smile and reply, "Of course." With that they start talking amongst themselves till the bell rings.
//1st period//
Science! What a great way to start the day. NOT! Even better is that I have Yugi and Joey in this class. I hate keeping things from them but I don't know how they would react. I snap back to reality when a note lands on my desk. I look around for the person who threw it. I come to a girl with long, glistening black hair and emerald green eyes. She nods and mouths the words "Open it" to me. I nod to her and open it. This is what it said:
I know we have not met but I want to get to know you. But would you ever consider dating me or atleast giving me a chance?
IKI
I swallow down her words. In the blink of an eye the note is snatched from my grasp by the teacher. Ms. Kirai. She walks back to the front of the class and turns to glare at me. As if she was a snake she hisses her words at me, "So, Mr. Yami Mutou do you say yes to Miss Iki?" Almost everyone in the class starts snickering. Ms. Kirai's grin grew as she spoke, "Mr. Yami Mutou, please come to the front of the class." Even though she said please, it was still a demand. I stand and slowly descend to the front of the room. I reply quietly, "my answer is no." Continuing her attack, "Why do you decline, Mr. Mutou?" I look toward Iki and her now saddened face. Just when I was about to reply the classroom door opens. I turn to see Seto's icy glare fixed upon the teacher. He spoke as if ice hung off each word, "Ms. Kirai I came to inform you that Mrs. Hinamori needs a spare desk." Ms. Kirai deals with the request and lets me sit down.
//2nd period//
I walk in to see Tea and Seto already in class. Tea notices me and waves me over to sit in front of her. As I walk to the seat I drop a hidden note on Seto's desk.
When the bell rang and I slipped out the door Seto slips a note in my back pocket.
//3rd period//
I sat down in my seat thanking that none of the gang had this clas. I read Seto's caring note and began to write him back. Just finishing folding the note the tardy bell rang and someone plucked the note from my hand. I turn to retrieve my note and saw Bakura. Bakura was Ryo's dark; he has snow white hair and chestnut brown eyes. He smirks into his question, "Well, well what do we have here? A note by any chance?" I snarl back at him, "It's none of your business, Bakura. Now give it back." I attempt to reach it when the teacher walks in and addresses us, "Sit down boys." I sit in my seat and Bakura slouches down in the seat behind me, reading the note.
When the teacher turns around after a minute or so Bakura throws two folded pieces of paper over my shoulder, onto my desk. One is the note I'm giving to Seto and the other is FROM Bakura! I read Bakura's note:
You haven't told anyone have you, Pharaoh? That's not like you at all. I find this amusing as hell…but rest assure I will not speak of this to anyone. Thief's Oath! Lol…no worries Pharaoh XD
I resist crumbling the note into a ball…I write back.
If you do you'll regret it…I'm not ready to deal with everyone only you and mokuba know.
I toss the note over my shoulder. The bell rings shortly after and he leans forward and whispers in my ear, "You have my word almighty Pharaoh." With a smirk plastered on his face he leaves the room.
//4th period//
I walk in and notice immediately that Joey is in front and I'm in back with Seto. I say "hi" as I pass Joey and drop a note on Seto's desk as I walk to him. I take a seat infront of him. Half-way through class Seto tosses a note over my shoulder, I open it.
Well, I'm sorry for the pressure. Everything will be ok. I'm here for you, always. Are you ok? Is anything wrong?
I begin to write him back.
Everything's okay but I need to tell you that Bakura knows. But he won't tell anyone…I promise.
I throw the note over my shoulder. 5 minutes later the bell rings and I leave for lunch.
//Lunch//
As I walk into the lunch room Seto walks out, while handing me a note. All through lunch I remain quiet, not wanting to talk.
//5th period//
I go into the boy's locker room and change into my gym uniform. Everyone meets on the track. I look up into the bleachers to see Seto. He smiles at me over his laptop.
So for the rest of the day I was happy…he smiled at me! When the bell rang for school to end I told Yugi I had to go do something but I would be home for dinner. Yugi replied dully, "Ok, Ryo is staying the night so we can get a project over with." I nod and they leave me. I stand underneath the tree and wait for Seto and his limo. It pulls up and I get in. Seto pushes me against the seat and kisses me passionately.
When we get to his mansion we did the usual. Talk, make out, talk, eat dinner, and then sit in the living room awaiting my leave. A sad expression crosses Seto's face, "Do you have to leave?" I tilt my head to the side and think and after a minute or so I ask my question, "Can I use the phone?" He goes and gets me the phone. Once I have it I dial Ryo's number. Bakura answers. I sigh, "Bakura, I know Ryo isn't there. I'm going to call Yugi and tell him I'm staying with you for the night. Ok?" I notice that Bakura smirks into his reply, "Of course Pharaoh stay with your 'lover' I will back you up." I say, "thank you, bye," and hang up. So I dial Yugi's number and tell him that I'm staying with Bakura and I hang up. I turn back to Seto and tell him the good news. A smirk plays on his lips, "Well, it's getting late we should get to bed." I fire back, "I don't have any pajamas." He gestures for me to follow and I do. We go into his room and to his closet. He throws me a pair of pajama pants, crimson red. I go into the bathroom to change and come out. His are black. I sigh and look at him seriously, "I don't want to do anything." He cuts me off, "That doesn't mean I can't hold you." I nod and we climb in bed. I lay facing his chest with his arms around my wais resting on my butt. We share a last kiss before we drift off into the land of sleep.
