Chapter two is written in both Yugi and Ryou's POV (Point of View) Review replies (Contain important bits of info so take a look): To NJPickleFiend:Thank you so much for your praise you don't know how much I appreciate it :D I'm glad the storyline is appealing to you! And I will be sure to continue with someone as dedicated as you reading XD In fact, to show my appreciation at you being my first reviewer for this story I'm saving you first (Maybe second to me we'll see lol) pick of the Yu Gi Oh guy you would like to pick. (You mentioned you have one for Ryou/Bakura, if you want to use that one, you have to pick one of the boys :3) And yes, you heard correct, as an act of thanks to reviewers and readers (NOT bribery I swear XD) I will be adding OC's to the story :3 Anyone who wishes to participate must chose ONE guy that hasn't already been taken, just send me a PM with the basics about your OC (The guy you choose must be specified in the subject. Personality will be expected to be included, along with traits (Physically and mentally), flaws (Physically and mentally) how they act around this crush, general appearance, full name and age, and anything else you feel is important like medical conditions, family members, desired occupation, dreams and etc. etc.)
And yes, Seto Kaiba is included in this fanfiction (lol everone has to have Seto in a Yu Gi Oh Fanfiction!) He's probably the same age as Mai (21 or 22 we'll see) Duke Devlin will also be included later on in the story.
To jeniashi: Thank you MUCHLY (lol inside joke, my bad) for the praise :D Much appreciated *gives cookies* I will be updating often so don't worry! because I really like this story :D And as for your OC the previous reply above ^ will tell ya what to do :D
Kudos!
BTW: I do not own the songs Yugi writes, in fact, one of my favourite artists, Adam Young, does, yes, you heard correct, OWL CITY! His voice is almost just like Yugi's and I reckon that'd be the type of beautiful, innocent music that Yugi procures, so this is also a fanfiction dedicated to Adam Young technically.

I was humming a tune that seemed to be stuck in my head as I hopped off the bus at the school gate. I'd grown to be a lot more independent since one: Grandpa died, and two: Atem, Yami, Joey, Tristan and Tea graduated from high school. I pondered as I strolled into school.
Of course, this independance was sort of forced on me, but I'm okay with it now, I wasn't for the first few weeks, I had felt impending lonliness and the cold shoulder of other students when I tried to make new friends. But that's when I came to hold Ryou as a closer friend, when my other friends were around, I realised that unintentionly, I was shunning Ryou Bakura, the British Albino who people always picked on.
At that time, I knew how he felt, my hair wasn't exactly average, being tri-coloured and kind of resembling the kid who got electrocuted in Physics didn't seem to be helping with keeping a low profile to bullies. So Ryou and I sort of had to stick together to survive on this one despite how much I disliked his cruel older siblings. Ryou himself was a quiet, genuinely nice guy to be around, always smiling and always polite and generous.
It's odd coming from a person who's older brothers probably set fire to kittens in their spare time. Speaking of Ryou, I looked up when I spotted a glimpse of the pale guy's snow white hair. He waved to me and I smiled and waved back, 'Hey Ryou!'
'Hi Yugi, how are you? How's Atem and Yami? Good?' Formal and polite in his soft voice as always, I answered,
'We're pretty good, what about you?' I wasn't going to ask about his siblings, there was always tension when we went there, but Ryou seemed perfectly comfortable when discussing mine,
'I'm good,' He nodded and we started walking to the Cafeteria to our table that no one else seemed to want because it was tucked away in the corner out of the sun, it worked in our favor because Ryou got sunburnt easily. We were about to sit down when Ryou suddenly paused and then bonked his forehead with his palm,
'Oh! Silly, I just remembered I have to print off an assignment for Chemistry in the Library!'
I assured his worrying brown eyes, 'No worries, let's go print it now!' He nodded thankfully, and we abandoned our table and started off at a faster pace to the Library. I liked Libraries, I could sit down on one of the plushie chairs and listen to my IPod while Ryou read about ancient History, he was really engrossed with that sort of thing. Me myself, I don't see what's so great about what happened back then, I mean, a lot of horrible stuff went down, torture, murder, slavery, mutiny, betrayal, it made me sad to think about it.
But the quiet was always nice, to see people kindly minding their own business and doing their thing while we did our own, there was no conflict in Libraries, well, unless you brought Tristan and Joey in here. We had to leave our bags in a designated area, so we couldn't steal books, which actually got me curious as to why someone would go to any trouble to steal a book? I guess it must be something like the Twilight Saga that every fangirl in the school wanted to get their claws on.
Yes, things were a lot more quiet when my brothers left. Because Atemu and Yami just so happened to be the most sought after boys in the school. They had everything the girls wanted, baritone voices, a very intelligent mind, a quick sense of protectiveness and loyalty, a will of steel and a heart of gold, of course every girl wanted to be theirs.
No one was like that for Ryou and I, we were just the shy guys, like in Super Mario World... I smiled at this and Ryou gave me a curious look, 'Why're you smiling for Yugi?'
'Oh, nothing,' I giggled lightly, that was another thing, it was impossible for Atemu or Yami to simply giggle, it was always a deep, "sexy" chuckle that had people swooning, I couldn't do that if my life depended on it, my voice still hadn't broken. Sometimes I wish I could be more fearless, cunning and strong like my brothers, despite how my friends told me that they liked me how I was.
They were just better than me...
'Yugi? I've printed off the assignment, can we stay and read some books?' He sounded hopeful, but he didn't want to be neglecting me, as he unintentionly did when he got absorbed in his reading.
I didn't want to rain on his hobby, so I answered, 'Of course, I have something I want to write anyway.' Which was very true. I was working on a song to this tune that was horribly and unstoppably stuck in my head. My songs were albiet random and often didn't make any sense, but for some reason, even when I try really hard, I can't reach the emotional tension that Yami does, or play the guitar quite as entrancingly as Atemu.
I sat down on one of the chairs after retrieving my music notebook and a pen to scribble down some lyrics. We had been on a field trip recently to Seattle Washington, so I decided, I was going to name my song 'Hello Seattle.'
I felt bad for subjecting Yugi to this, I mean, he was a person who always enjoyed company, I rejoiced in the fact that I had a friend to call close and true, but I also liked quiet time to my own to read and gather my vast thoughts. I was in the History section, I knew every part off by heart, I was looking for something I hadn't already read and memorised.
There might be some new stock in, if I was lucky, something big and indulging. I ran a finger over the spines of the books, I found one, Cadaver's of Egypt, Story of the Pharoahs. The book itself was about the same chocolate brown as my eyes, the writing was in a curly, gold script and plastic jewels lined the spine, an impressive-looking book, not to judge by it's cover- Um, spine, but I hoped it was as good a read as it was decorated.
I reached for the book to take it, when suddenly, the book slid through the other side of the shelf, thinking it had fallen, I got over my surprise and edged around the shelf to search for it, instead of seeing a book possibly splayed with bending precious pages on the ground, my eyes settled on a pair of white, bare feet with shimmery rose pink toe polish on. I followed the person's body up to her face.
She had the book tucked against her chest, with a puzzled look on her face as she addressed me silently. She was definitely trade-mark albino. Her hair was a faded, canary-white blond hair with a very messy array of both wavy and straight(ish) bangs collected on her forehead and cheeks while the rest was pulled into a careless bun with a purple, butterfly-coloured pencil and her eyes were hot cherry pink, her pupils weren't black like the average person, they were dark, ruby red, they'd be awfully sensitive to light I'd say. Over the years the girl's uniform had changed to better identify the school, she was wearing the white, long-sleeved blouse with elastic on the ends of the sleeves to keep the cold out, even though it was summer, I suspected it was to protect her pale skin from the sun. And also the plain, royal blue skirt nearly reaching her knees, she was definitely in my year.
Why hadn't I seen her around before? She saw my eyes on the book, and murmured, in a slight British accent, it wasn't prominent, but I noticed it, considering I come from Britain myself, 'Sorry, did you want this?' She reluctantly loosened her hold on the book and extended it in my direction. I held up my palms to answer, 'No, it's okay, I'll find something else, really.' And smiled politely.
'Are you sure? Because I'm only looking for a casual read...' A pretty BIG casual read, I eyes her curiously, 'Excuse my asking, but why haven't I seen you around before?'
She blinked at me, and pushed the book into my hands as she said shyly, 'I moved here last month,'
'Oh,' I shifted the book safely under my left arm, I held out my hand, 'I'm Ryou.'
She had an edge of a half-smile, it was kind of cute, in a childish sort of sense, 'I'm Fae, Fae Rumi.'
'Hello there Fae, you like Egyptian History? I asked kindly, gesturing to the book, she nodded eagerly, suddenly brightening a little, I guess when she gave the book over to me, she thought I'd just drift away, but I was curious to know more about her, who knows this could be a potential friendship, if she loves History at least a little as much as I do.
'I love Egyptian History,' She explained, 'My Grams was from Egypt, before she met Gramps on an expedition, he's from Cambridge and yeah, Dad came out albino, and married another albino which is Mum, but now, there's only me, Gramps and Grams and my little sister.'
That would explain the accent and her fair appearance. I found it intriguing, I wonder what happened to her parents, I smiled, 'I have Egytian and British in my heritage too, I grew up in London and moved her about four years ago, but the Egyptian in me is kind of thin-blooded, you can see it better in my older brother, Akefia.'
She smiled a wide-ish smile and murmured, 'Funny huh? We're very alike.' I was starting to believe this murmur was actually her real voice, it was so quiet...
'Yeah,' I agreed. She looked over her shoulder and said in a sort of rushed tone, 'Well, I can hear my friend calling me so-' I didn't hear anything... '-Thank you Ryou, it was nice to meet you-' Wait, what was she thanking me for?
'Um, no problem, it was nice meeting you too.' I answered with an unsure smile. Was she that desperate to get away from me? What did I do?
She returned it, and then, gestured at the book, 'Let me know if it's a good read 'kay?'
So she did want to speak to me again, I nodded, 'Sure.' All these mixed signals were making me dizzy.
And with that, she turned around, bare feet and all and darted down the isle, and out of sight. Okay, that was pretty weird, but I admit, school shoes could get awfully cramped, and it is only the Library. I blinked a few times, before shrugging and wandering back to where Yugi was sitting, writing something down in messy sprawl then scowling slightly and scribbling some out. I sat down beside him, 'Any luck?'
'I'm getting there...' He said determinedly, tapping his temple with the eraser side of the pencil. I nodded and hitched up a foot so i could rest the book on the makeshift frame, I opened it and settled to read...
Okay, before you start with all the Mary Sue! Mary Sue! stuff!
Fae isn't insanely gorgeous, in fact she is pretty short for her age, underweight and while she may have a thin waist and nicely wide hips and a non-ugly (for a ghostly white complexion) set of legs and feet on her, the only actual noticible attraction she has are her plump lips.
Her eyes are a little too wide and she's very scrawny and has no self-esteem or self-confidence and tends to give off mixed impressions and the wrong idea (as you just witnessed) and she's very kind and completely selfless, that's what makes her who she is. And it's not impossible for someone to be completely selfish. Honestly, get to know me and you'll be proven wrong.
And if you say it's the British accent and the pale complexion that makes her sound too much like Ryou, therefore I'm plagerising, that's incorrect, because I have a slight british accent and I am deadly-zombie pale. Her name is Fae because that's what my signature looks like, she's basically me with pink eyes and light hair. Because I'm brunette with bluish eyes, I didn't want to make her look too much like Tea. So back off with the flames please!
Anyways, if you liked it, review! And just saying, NJPickleFiend, if you want your OC to be with Ryou, then I'll back my OC off, but either way, they're just good friends until I'm given the OK by you :D
Expect another chapter soon! Get your boys before they're gone! PM me! :3
