Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in the story.
The Sun rose above the horizon. A warm golden glow spread across the land.
A perfect day, thought Yami Yuugi as he yawned and stretched his arms. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Yami Yuugi went over to the window and looked out. Such a beautiful day…
After washing his face, Yami Yuugi changed into his school uniform and went down to the kitchen for breakfast.
" Morning Grampa. Morning Yuugi," Yami Yuugi said cheerfully.
" Good morning," replied Grampa and Yuugi as Yami Yuugi settled down on hid chair and started wolfing down his bread.
" It's a good day today, isn't it?" Yuugi said.
" Yes. It's definitely a good day. I can't wait to see everyone," Yami Yuugi replied.
" Really?" Yuugi asked innocently.
" Okay. Not everyone. Not that Tomb Robber or the always-talking-about-friendship Anzu," Yami Yuugi admitted.
" Then so unlucky for you, yami. Don't you remember we're having art lessons with Ryou, Malik, Yami Malik, Yami Bakura, Kaiba and Anzu?" Yuugi said, trying hard to remember who else was on the list.
" Yeah, but I'm not going to let those two spoil my perfect Monday morning," Yami Yuugi snorted as he washed his hands and went to wear his shoes.
" If you say so," Yuugi gave a sigh and went to wear his shoes too.
After wearing their shoes, Yami Yuugi and Yuugi grabbed their schoolbags, and said in unison, " Goodbye Grampa". With that, they headed for school.
~~~ On The Way To School~~~
Yami Yuugi and Yuugi had met Ryou and Yami Bakura on their way to school. Well, it was their daily routine actually.
Once met up with each other, Yuugi and Ryou started their chitchatting. Yami Yuugi and Yami Bakura on the other hand were ignoring each other as usual.
" Do you think the atmosphere is a bit cold? Yuugi whispered to Ryou.
" The atmosphere between those two is always cold," Ryou snorted.
Shrugging, Yuugi changed the topic to their homework.
" So Pharaoh, how are you doing with your midget hikari?" Yami Bakura smirked.
There he goes again, thought Yami Yuugi. He's always insulting Yuugi.
Turning to face Yami Bakura, Yami Yuugi forced a smile.
" Oh, we were doing perfectly fine," Yami Yuugi replied. " How are you? Still picking locks and stealing other people's valuables?"
Yami Bakura scowled before thinking hard. After a few seconds, he gave his usual malicious grin.
" I just can't wait for today's art lesson," he mocked and walked ahead.
This time, it was Yami Yuugi's turn to scowl. He's good in every subject. English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, he's got straight A's for all these subjects. But when it came to Art, he has got all the artistic talent of a duck. He can't draw, paint, or do the simplest, colour. He'll mess up everything when it came to art lessons, and he simply hates it.
Yami Yuugi was in an extremely dark mood when he reached the classroom. Yami Bakura was extremely smug the whole day. He could simply imagine what havoc the Pharaoh will cause.
The worst thing in Yami Yuugi's life had happened. As Yami Bakura and Yami Malik kept talking to each other, their teacher had decided to separate both of them. Yami Bakura was to sit with Yami Yuugi while Yami Malik was to sit with Jounouchi.
Yami Yuugi and Yami Bakura stared at each other with utter disgust.
" Teacher! I don't want to sit with Bakura!" Yami Yuugi protested.
But the teacher was oblivious to Yami Yuugi's pleas and continued with the lesson. Growling angrily, Yami Yuugi moved his books away from Yami Bakura and started taking down his notes.
" Hey, I don't bite," Yami Bakura said as he moved closer to Yami Yuugi, clearly enjoying Yami Yuugi's disgusted expression.
" Buzz off, or suffer my wrath," Yami Yuugi threatened.
Smiling playfully, Yami Bakura took Yami Yuugi's notebook and flipped through it, yawning in the process.
" So boring," Yami Bakura said.
" Hey! Give it back!" Yami Yuugi cried, trying to snatch the book back.
" What are the both of you doing? One more word and you two will get out of my class and have detention!" the teacher yelled.
Glaring hard at Yami Bakura, Yami Yuugi can't think of anything worst than sitting beside Yami Bakura. Well, he clearly didn't know this was just the beginning…
The long awaited art lesson had finally come! And what's more, it's a two-hour lesson. Yami Yuugi groaned and dreaded for their art teacher to come to their classroom.
" Hey Pharaoh. Guess what are we doing today?" Yami Bakura whispered suddenly, right in Yami Yuugi's left ear.
This spooked Yami Yuugi so much as it was a complete shock having Yami Bakura so close to him that his elbow automatically dug itself hard into Yami Bakura's ribs.
Yami Bakura's eyes widened in pain as he doubled over.
" I'm sorry!" Yami Yuugi cried as Yami Bakura glared at him murderously.
Yami Bakura stood up from his seat and grabbed Yami Yuugi by his collar, lifting him up from the ground, his fist raised, dangerously close to Yami Yuugi's face.
" Bakura! What are you doing? Put Atemu down!" a familiar voice sounded.
Yami Yuugi turned his head towards his rescuer, his eyes full of gratitude. His most hated art teacher had saved him.
Muttering curses and oaths, Yami Bakura pushed Yami Yuugi back to his seat.
" It's not over yet, Pharaoh," he hissed as he sat down, his eyes full of venom.
Gulping nervously, Yami Yuugi turned away from Yami Bakura. It's not his fault! If Yami Bakura had not whispered in his ear and freaked him out, he would not have jabbed him in the ribs!
" Today, we'll do some painting. You can paint whatever you wan, but please give a description of your work. Now, get ready your stuff," the art teacher said and sat at his desk.
Everyone stated to get their brushes out eagerly, spreading newspapers over their tables. Yami Yuugi took his cup and went to get some water.
" Yami, are you alright? What happened just now?"
Yami Yuugi turned and saw that it was Yuugi and Ryou, standing at the basin. Sighing, he explained what had happened.
After hearing that, Ryou gave an apologetic smile.
" Sorry. Kura had always been in a bad mood recently. I guess it's because I've forced him to do the chores that he got all restless and annoyed. Can you forgive him?" Ryou asked.
Smiling, Yami Yuugi nodded. Well, it's not as if Yami Bakura was going to kill him or something right? After getting his cup of water, Yami Yuugi went to get some paint from the teacher's table. Soon, both his hands were occupied with water and paint.
Noting that the paint was filled to the brim, Yami Yuugi kept his eyes on the paint and water, Yami Yuugi did not notice that Anzu's leg was stuck out in front of him.
At that moment, Yami Yuugi was walking cautiously. The next moment, he tripped over Anzu's le and fell straight ahead, knocking the person in front of him down on the ground and landed on him. He caught a familiar sight of white hair and thought to himself how lucky he was to knock into Ryou instead of Yami Bakura.
When Yami Yuugi fell, the cup of water and paint was still in his hands, but now, they were gone… Glancing up, he saw the paint up in the air, slowly landing on Ryou and himself. Yuugi and Ryou were staring at him in complete shock.
Wait a moment. If Ryou was with Yuugi, who was this beneath him?
Crash! Both Yami Yuugi and the person beneath him were coloured. Water and paint were dripping down on Yami Yuugi's golden bangs that he had to use his sleeve to wipe them away.
" Grr… PHARAOH!" came a roar from under Yami Yuugi.
Yami Yuugi froze. That voice is painfully familiar…
