Author's Note: Hey everyone. This story is something that I've been thinking about for a while. I looked around to see if they have a fanfiction for it, but I couldn't find anything. So, I hope you all like it.

Chapter One: Lies and Truth

Yugi was sitting on the leg of a tall building looking out at the Domino City as the sun set. He sighed as he watched his friends once again walk off laughing with Yami.

They lied to me, Yugi thought. They all said they were doing something else. Joey going to see Serenity. Tristian doing homework. And, Tea having dance practice. But, here they are, hanging out with Yami.

Yugi sighed as he stood up to get off the roof.

"What are you doing, midget," ask a confused, but slightly rough voice.

"I was watching the sunset," Yugi lied, and turned around to see Bakura. "Now I'm going to go home."

"I don't believe you," Bakura said harshly.

Yugi strugged and said, "Then believe what you want."

Yugi walked past Bakura and walked to the roof door.

"Just answer one question," Bakura asked, stopping Yugi from leaving. "Were you going to jump?"

"No," Yugi said as he spun towards Bakura, eyes wide. "Why would I do that? They've been ignoring me, but it's not like I'm going to jump because of it!"

"Ignoring you," Bakura repeated, a white eyebrow rose. "So that's what's going on."

"Why do you care," Yugi asked.

"I don't," Bakura said as he pushed Yugi off to the side; however he stopped one he got to the bottom of the stairs. "However, I won't envy the morons. Never let a treasure slide. That's a motto I live by, and by Ra, have they let one slide."

Bakura snorted as his voice echoed through the hall, and Yugi rushed down the stairs to hear the rest of what he said.

"I always knew the Pharaoh was an arrogant brute, but boy has he slipped up now," Bakura snarled. "If you ever need help, Little Light, you know where to find me! I'm not as dense as the baka, I know a treasure when I see it. And, midget, you are not someone to let slide."

Yugi was speechless as he watched the evil spirit get on a motorcycle, probably stolen, and rode away.

Yugi's POV

Is…is he saying I'm a treasure, I thought as I start walking again. But….why? If I'm such a treasure, why do my friends not see it? Is he lying? No….he wouldn't lie about something like that. He's a thief. Treasure is important to him… So, Bakura the Thief King thinks I some sort of treasure. I wonder why….

"Yugi," Tea's voice brings me out of my thoughts. "What are you doing here? Are you spying on us?"

"Huh," I ask. "No, I was just thinking… By the way, where are we?"

"What has you in such a state, aibou," Yami asked.

"It's Bakura," I say and they all tense. "I saw him earlier and…"

"Did he hurt you," Yami asked immediately, his eyes blazing.

"No, but he did say something weird," I said, and they all looked at me.

By all their faces I could see I would have to explain, and I sighed because I knew they wouldn't let it drop.

"I was watching the sunset on the roof, and he walked in as I was standing up," I said, and their expression got even more confused. "I guess his thoughts immediately went to the worst because he asked if I was going to jump. I of course said no, and said that nothing going on was bad enough for me to jump. Then he started to talk about how you all were stupid and about treasure and letting it slip away…. I'm not sure I understood all of it, if any of it. But, it was just weird and so unlike him. It kind of freaked me out."

"Whatever," Yami sighed as the tension eased. "Just remember to not believe anything he says. He's a notorious liar."

"And insane," Tea agreed.

I know he wasn't lying this time, I thought. Not like you guys have been. You may think that Bakura's a liar, and a lot of times he is. But, he tells the truth more often than not. He only lies if it's to do with him stealing something. Any other time, he tells you the truth, especially when it hurts.

"I'll keep it in mind," I said and I turn around to leave.

"Hey, Yug," Joey screams as he runs to catch up. "Where ya goin'?"

"Home," I say.

"Don't ya wanna hang out," Joey asked hurt.

"If you wanted to hang out," I said harshly. "Then, why did you all lie to me about what you were doing today?"

Joey flinched.

"Yug—," Joey started, but I interrupted it.

"I don't want to hear it," I said. "You made your points clear already."

Joy flinched again and Tea yelled, "Hey that was uncalled for!"

"Oh, really," I asked. "Then, was it 'called for' when you all lied to me? Was it all 'called for' when you accused me of spying on you? Was it 'called for' to ask me to 'hang out' when you all obviously want nothing to do with me anymore?"

Tea's mouth did a wonderful imitation of a gold fish as the other's jaw dropped.

"I didn't think so," I said as I started walking home once again. "Maybe Bakura was right."

Yami growled, but before he could say anything I continued, "You all are morons."

Yami growled again and jerk on my arm. I turn around and he slapped me.

"Thank you for telling me how you really feel," I said as I spat blood. "But, I kinda already knew."

I jerked away from him and he just stood there looking at his hand.

…The Next Day…

I was once again on the roof, and once again Bakura walks up while I'm standing up.

"You sure you're not trying to jump," Bakura asks as he leans against the rail.

"Completely," I said. "They're not worth it. You just have bad timing."

Bakura gives me a sadistic smirk, "Not even the Pharaoh?"

"Especially not him," I spat.

"How'd you get the bruise," Bakura asked.

"The Pharaoh," I said. "I let your name slip into a conversation. He didn't take it too well."

Bakura snorted and said, "Sounds like him."

"Did you understand what I said yesterday," Bakura asked.

"Yeah," I said as I looked at him curiously.

"Good," Bakura said. "Remember it."

He started walking off, but I called out to him and he stopped.

"What do you know that I don't, Bakura," I asked.

He didn't answer.
