O.k this I claim in the name of science, I'm fed up with straight couples special Anzu/anyone. Not that I don't like her it's just I think she's a slut and I hate her. I believe that there should be warnings on all straight fics saying beware straight and couples shouldn't be in the description cos it upsets me to know that someone has paired poor little Ryou or any other character (obviously gay) male with a girl. Anyway let me start the fic
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Lore, who I borrowed from my original fic which I own so I suppose I didn't really borrow Lore…
Chapter one: Arrival
Mokoba frowned and spun around, the sound of weeping was getting louder. He had never had a dream this realistic, he could feel the icy zephyr which twisted its way down the corridor in which he stood. He followed the sound of weeping down the corridor and let his hand drift along the rough wall, till he reached the door where the noise was coming from. He gentle pressed his ear against the door between the sobs he heard bitter muttering, he tapped lightly on the door and silence engulfed the corridor. Biting his lip nervously he touched the cold door knob, with his heart racing to his mouth he opened the door slowly.
"I…is anyone here, I thought I heard someone crying." Mokoba questioned in to the seaming empty room. He stood there a few moments, but there was no answer. His attention was pulled to the one piece of furniture in the room, a large four-poster bed, with ivory drapes which danced in the draught from the door. Taking all his courage and trying to remind himself it was all a dream, a strange twisted nightmare, he started to make his way to the bed. He reached his shaking hand up to the curtain and gripped to it for a few moments before taking a deep breath in and tearing it back.
"Mokoba wake up!" Mokoba opened his eyes and glared at his older brother, who just smiled at him. "You better be quick else your be late for school."
"Hay I was just about to find out what was behind the curtain in my dream and you come along to wake me up about something as unimportant as school." Mokoba stretched sleepily as his brother just shrugged and walked out the room to leave him to get ready. Seto sat at the breakfast bar in the average size kitchen, though not much cooking was ever done in this room it was mainly for show, the real kitchen was a lot bigger and only the servants went there. He didn't have to wait long for his younger brother to walk in looking a scruff contrast to him, shirt untucked and hair messily pushed out of his eyes.
"You know you'll never get a girlfriend if you don't dress smartly or at least look as if you brushed hair." Seto teased his brother who stuck his tongue out in retort.
"I don't want a girlfriend they just cause trouble and all they want is money." Mokoba complained.
"That's not true, they want jewellery and fast cars too… And I hope that you're not planning to eat a chocolate bar for breakfast." Seto added as Mokoba reached for a Mars bar.
"No I wasn't going to have one chocolate bar I was going to have two. I need all the energy I can get to get through a hectic school day and then survive hanging with my friends." Mokoba explained mockingly, Seto shock his head before walking to the door to leave the house. Mokoba followed him dragging his feet along the ground not looking forward to the prospect of another dull day at the torment they call school. He joined his brother in the car, the dream still played on his mind, it unsettled him. Mokoba knew it was no good talking to Seto as he didn't believe in anything that defied logic, he would say it was just a dream which would be no comfort to Mokoba. So he just tried to relax and sprawled across the leather interior of the limousine, he would just have to wait until he was at school, unfortunately Yami the person who would be best to talk about his dream to had just left school. Luckily for him, but maybe not so luck for the school or many people Bakura and Marik had been held back so many time they were in the same year as their hikaris. The limousine slowly came to a stop outside the bustling school defined into small groups, Sluts who wore belts instead of clothes, Grungers with there regulation hoodies, teenage delinquents who most people avoided Marik and Bakura were obviously part of this group, Players who spent most of their time talking about the Sluts they had slept with and then there was the group Mokoba hung around with who he conceived to be slightly normal which consisted of Yugi, Ryou and Malik. Though to day someone else was standing with the group, Mokoba looked the figure up and down before confronting the stranger.
"Hey!" Mokoba tap him on the shoulder, the boy spun around quickly causing his black hair to flick in the new boy's face.
"Um… hi." The boy stated nervously brush his hair back with his hand. " My name's Lore, I'm new… which you probably already noticed, I transferred here."
"O.k., I'm Mokoba. It's nice to meet you… unless you're planning to try to take over my brothers company that is." Mokoba teased the new kid with a hint of seriousness behind it.
"What? No, I don't even know what company your talking about." Lore seamed slightly panicked by accusation, obviously not understanding it was joke.
"Relax Lore Mokie is just mucking with you, he has a habit of that. I wonder what ever happened to the small innocent Mokoba I met on the airship." Malik pretended to be reminiscence the younger Mokoba.
"The same thing that happened to your evil murderous streak." Mokoba retorted quickly
"What it's sitting on the bench over there planning how to take over the world with Bakura." Malik indicated to Bakura and his darker self, who look deep in conversation. "Sorry don't see it Mokie, I guess that bit of you is gone forever."
"Can you stop calling me Mokie, my name is Mokoba." He gave Malik a death glare that could only be possibly matched by the king of ice himself.
"They're not really planning to take over the world again." Ryou rolled his eyes. "I thought they had gotten over that phase."
"Well they did have a bit of a break at least, I guess know yam has gone…"
"Yam-I. Malik, he has told you about a million times not to shorten his name to yam or yams" Yugi interrupted Malik. "Anyway here and now is not the time to discuses it, you're really confusing Lore and we have to get to class." Yugi smiled at the bewilderment on Lore's face.
"Yeah you're right yuug." Yugi opened his mouth to complain to Malik again, but just shrugged. "Yeah better not fry your brain even before you get to lessons, Come on Lore you're in my class, lets leave the real intelligent people to go to their smart classes." Malik mocked and so the group split, Ryou and Yugi going in one direction, Lore and Malik in another and leaving Mokoba to head to his class alone.
