Chapter 2
It was 8.00am and the boys had met up to walk to school together when Malik shouted randomly...
"Hey, look at this ring I had on me when I woke up, it has a pretty orangey gem in it..." Malik explains holding his hand right up to his face with a confused look etched on his handsome features
"Its amber Malik" Ryou sighed "and now that you mention it I woke up and my eyebrow and a piercing in it with a ruby... I wonder how that happened without me noticing, it's kind of hard to miss something like" Ryou sighed in frustration
"I woke up with an ear piercing and it also has a gem in it, it's an amethyst..." Yugi whimpers and pulls a letter from the bottom of his school bag
"Also this letter was left on my desk... It says...
'Girls, these are the gems you will have. Guard them with your life.
Signed Ishizu'
"Ok... easy enough." Ryou grumbles and starts walking towards the school
"Anyway let's go. We don't wanna be late for class." Malik giggles.
*The boys walk into their first class which was English. They sat down waiting for the teacher to start the lesson when three new pupils walked into the class.*
"Oh class, today we have three new pupils. Introduce yourselves." Said the teacher.
"Hi, I'm Yami Atemu" Yami Smiled at Yugi making him blush so much that Yugi thought he might need to go to the nurse
"Hello... I'm... Bakura just Bakura and if you know what's good for you'll leave me alone" grumbled Bakura in a soft yet murderous tone that not even a naive child would trust
"Hey there, I'm Marik Istar, nice to meet you all" Marik caught Malik's eyes and winked but when Malik only stared blankly at him he mentally scowled and turned away
*The boys were surprised at seeing their rivals appear in their class.*
"What are they doing here?" Yugi whispers.
"Well duh Yugi. They're obviously here to get an education." Malik stated in one of his random serious movements
*Yami looks over to Yugi and gives her a sly wink*
"Oh my gosh! He winked at me!" Squeaked Arison not knowing whether to be excited or horrified
*Ryou gently shoves Yugi*
"What was that for?" Yugi asks nervously as Ryou is rarely gentle
Ryou was silent before he hissed at Yugi "You shouldn't like him! He's our enemy. Are you stupid?"
"Yeah, you're right Ryou" explains Yugi with new resolve
*The boys start walking towards the table at which Yugi, Ryou and Malik were sitting at, then sat their selves down in front of them.*
"Why hello there ladies." Marik practically purred and turned to smirk at Malik "Nice to meet you."
"H-hi... I'm Malik Ishtar." Malik mentally scolded himself for stuttering
"well, well, well, we both have the same second name, I hope that doesn't mean we're related" Marik takes Malik's hand into his and gently kisses it, Malik nearly faints in happiness, which shouldn't be happening! Malik shouted mentally
*Ryou glares blankly at Bakura*
"What?" Bakura says shakily. (I know totally out of character and those who like them in character... this is not your kind of story)
"Nothing, I like to stare. I'm Ryou" Ryou forces an smile but epically fails and it ends as a grimace
"I'm Bakura." He replies while smiling eagerly back like a whole different person (I'm thinking of making him have a personality disorder)
I knew that... Ryou smirks but doesn't comment
Yami walked over to Yugi and smiled cheerfully but only received a blank look from Yugi
"What?" Yugi asks, curiously while trying to figure out what Aron was thinking behind that clown like smile that looked so horribly fake
"Hey, I'm Yami, Wanna hear a joke?"
"I'm Yugi and I'd rather not..." Kuroe replied.
"Well i'll tell you anyway. What's three T's?"
"A small tea party..." replied Yugi now staring at anything but Yami
"You were supposed to wait for me to say it!" Yami whined
"This could take a while..." Ryou and Bakura say simultaneously.
Ryou and Bakura look at each other but then look away in embrassement, and it of you got a microscope you could see a little bit of pink dust Ryou's cheeks while Bakura's cheeks lit up like a Christmas tree (yeah... their opposites)
"Let's just listen to the teacher now?" Malik suggested sensing their awkwardness
Bakura and Ryou didn't say anything; they just turned and looked at the board.
*break time started later on. The girls are sitting under a huge oak tree. The boys are walking towards them.*
"Hey look the boys are coming over..." whispered Yugi
"That Marik is so dreamy!" replied Malik in a daydream.
"You know, we are strictly forbidden to date the enemy. So get all of those thoughts out of your head." hissed Ryou
"Oh yeah?" said Yugi smugly. "You weren't as cold as usual; if I didn't know you so well I would've said you were being nice."
"Shut up!" Hissed Ryou "just stay away from them, they may know who we are and are just paying with us"
While Ryou and Yugi where arguing Malik's eyes widened in understanding and shone with sadness quickly replaced with a flicker of anger
The Yami's arrived at the oak tree and Marik walked up to them
"Do you mind if we sit down?" Asked Marik while sporting a gentlemanly like smile
*Ryou was about to deny when Malik replied coldly, "No not at all."*
"What do you girls normally do around here? We're new to this neighbourhood." Yami asked while his horrible fake grin never left his face
"Well..." replied Yugi boredly "We normally just go to the milkshake bar or go to the park."
"Why did you move here anyway?" Ryou asked glaring sharply at Bakura
"Well..." he replied, becoming nervous when Marik interrupted. "We moved here because we wanted to get away from the big city."
"Well you came to the right place, it's pretty quiet here." Yugi replied shrugging
"Well err... We better get back to class; the bell will be ringing in a minute." Malik suggested trying to ease his discomfort around Marik
"I agree with you." Marik said while smirking, showing his perfectly white teeth but if you inspected closer the canines were abnormally sharp...
They start to walk back to school... whilst somewhere in the shadows... a red headed figure was pacing in the darkness.
? "My brother we will have the gems soon... you don't have to pace around and waste your energy."
? "I can't help it sister, I am in-patient and I know it will be easy but I just can't wait any longer."
? "Well then, let's go get our prize."
At school with Yugi, Ryou and Malik The ground was starting to shake
Malik shouted "We have to get out of here Ryou!"
"No need to tell me twice..." Ryou mumbled and ran out of the building with Malik and Yugi tailing him, when they got outside they came face to face with two masked figures
"Finally we've been waiting for ages, could you have been any slower?" Sneered to figure in the hot pink cloak
"Who are you?" Shouted Malik
"I am Honda and this is my little sister Anzu
"What do you want?" Yugi shouted
"We want those gems." Tristan commanded with a loud booming voice
The boys looked nervously at each other and decided to play it say
"What gems?" malik asked trying to sound innocent
"Don't play stupid with us!" shouted Anzu "We know you have them, we will take them from you and you know what the funny thing is?"
"Oh my gosh what?" Malik replied jumping up and down expecting a joke of some sort.
"There's nothing you can do about it!" sneered Anzu
"Well that wasn't very funny..." Malik said slumping her posture in disappointment
"Come on Guys!" shouted Ryou "We have no choice!"
The boys didn't know what to do so they did the first thing that came to mind, Kusumo pressed the gem on his nose, Yugi pressed the gem on his ear piercing and Malik pressed the gem on his ring. Light filled the ground and there stood the boys in their battle gear
Ryou stood there in a laid back position with a suit that was pure black but shimmered with the touches of silver of the chest and arms, he didn't have very many weapons but he had a sword and the gem on his eyebrow had spread across his forehead to become a headband, the headband seemed to glow a menacing blood red and mad Ryou's chocolate brown eyes turn red.
Malik just stood there blinking innocently while trying to comprehend why he was standing outside his school wearing a dark purple battle suit that had a bronze chest plate, shin guards and the ring on her finger had turned into a bracelet that had a thin bronze chain running up to a bronze choker that was now placed on his neck, the amber in the bracelet had turned his normal violet eyes had turned a shade of amber that just shone with confidence.
Yugi was confused at the sudden outfit change but wasn't complaining as he suddenly felt stronger, his battle suit was similar to Malik's but instead his suit was a midnight blue and his chest plate and shin guards where bronze and his amethyst ear piercing had transformed in to a gold locket in the shape of an upside down pyramid with an amethyst gem in the centre, his eyes were normally amethyst but this amethyst was a lighter shade that shone with purity like an angel.
"You're going down!" Malik cheerfully jeered the two supposed villains
"Oh no we're not!" Tristan smirked, shooting black magic at them.
Malik dodged the black magic that was shot and him but doing a back flip he didn't even know he could do but he couldn't marvel because Ryou had pushed him out of the way of a shadow bolt, the bolt grazed Ryou's shoulder and Ryou fell to ground holding his shoulder
"RYOU!" Yugi shouted in anguish while running over to him
Malik just stood paralyzed by anger at what those demons had done to one of his best friends
Tristan walked over to malik who was hiding his eyes with his bangs and leaned over him "aww little pretty boy can't protect his friends when they really need him... how pathetic" Tristan taunted while cackling
Malik revealed his eyes, they where pure amber with no trace of humanity left in them, his face was contorted in anger and Malik punched Tristan straight in the ribs and giggled psychotically when he heard a sickening crack
"Brother!" Anzu shouted, she checked him over and the lifted his unconscious form onto her shoulder "you haven't heard the last of us, oh no this is only the beginning!" Anzu screamed before her and Tristan disappeared into thin air.
