The talk in benny's

Atem's POV

I was having fun at Benny's playing billiard, until I noticed that Bakura wanted to kill me.

Benny's was the joint of the high school boys. The older ones used to be there, but when the younger ones join it too, they moved somewhere else. Pegasus was very mad for that. The young boys don't have the enough money to spend. But he couldn't do nothing but hate them. A place becomes to be a joint and just that.

There was Yugi, Jonouchi, Duke and some other friends. I was playing billiard with Duke. Surely I was winning, because the truth is that I was playing it right. Duke was much altered, because he already has to pay me money. He got happier when Honda got in and said:

-''Bakura it's looking for you, Atem.'' I failed the shot

-''I'm not hiding myself'' I told him as I stayed there, supported on my billiard stick; I couldn't think about two things at a time.

-''He says he's going to kill you'' Honda is a tall boy, more than tall than any other of our age.

-say it it's not the same as make it'' I said.

Duke was already keeping his billiard stick out.

-''Bakura it's a nasty guy'' said Duke.

-''He's not rude, of course; anyways why does he got angry?'' I asked

-''For what you said to Serenity at school'' said Honda, Serenity is the little sister of Jonouchi and the big crush of Honda.

-''Bah! I didn't say anything but the truth.'' I told them what I have said to Serenity. Jonouchi and Duke were at my side. Yugi and Honda got red.

-''Shit!'' I said ''why does he always get mad at me for stupid reasons?'' it annoys me that people always wants to kill me for stupid reasons. If it is for something important, then it wouldn't worries me at all.

I got a bit closer to the billiard table and I lost my chocolate milkshake. I always take a milkshake instead of a coca-cola or something like that. Those trashes melt you inside. That gives me a bit of time to think about many things. Pegasus was very busy with a sandwich, and I knew perfectly that he wouldn't leave the sandwich for my milkshake.

-''so, what are you going to do? I mean, to kill me'' I sat in a cabinet, and Honda sat in another one and slid until get in front of me. The others crowded around me.

-''He wants to see you in a wasteland that it's behind the pet shop'' said Honda

-''alright I guess he'll go alone, right?'' I asked with my typical confident voice of always, especially when it's about fights.

-''I wouldn't be as trusted as you are, Atem'' said Jonouchi; he was trying to tell me that he was by my side to forget about the billiard stuff.

-''If he's going to appear before me with his friends, then I'll take mine too'' it don't scare me to fight against Bakura, but I don't want to seem like an idiot.

-''Ok, but you already know how it's going to end up this'' said Yugi, trying to opine ''all of you will end up fighting against them. If he takes his people, and you take yours…'' Yugi, always imprudent about everything.

-''If you're thinking that I will go alone to the wasteland'' I said ''you're crazy''.

-''But…'' I interrupt him.

-''Look bro, Bakura and I will solve this alone, you guys just will be the spectators, ok? It won't be wrong if there are just spectators''

-''you know more than anyone that this won't end up in that way'' he looked away annoyed by me, he must being thinking that I'm such a fool for not think in that way he does.

Yugi is fourteen years old, I was seventeen. He looked like twelfth. And act like forty man. Besides that, he is my little brother and my best friend, he is the one that take care of me instead of me that take care of him.

-''Dammit Atem, it's been time that we got away from problems like this'' He was afraid that it will turn out in a fight between both of all of us. It's been years that a fight like tonight would get dangerous, as I know, Yugi hasn't participate in one before.

-''you don't have to go if you don't want to'' I told him looking at him straight at his eyes, he seems to be worried this time, last time I got into a fight, I got really hurt, with big injuries on me and it took me months for me to get well.

All the others have to go to not lose the big fame. Yugi doesn't have the fame of nothing. He was my brother and my best friend, and that's all, that's enough to me.

-''you know I'm going'' Yugi told me angry '' but you know what Kaiba thinks about fights.''

-''but he's not here'' I answer to him '' It's been two weeks that he's being away, so better don't talk about Kaiba''

-'' anyways, when Kaiba comes back…'' this time Honda spoke as I hit the table with my fist with all my strength that I could feel the table of the side shaking.

Pegasus stopped whistling and prepare the sandwich. The others stayed seated, like keeping breathing inside.

-''Kaiba won't return'' I said, I don't see nothing clear when I get angry. My voice starts shaking '' I don't know if he will return. So, if you want to stay waiting for what he will says, I don't fucking care, but tonight I will show to Bakura who's the best fighter in Domino city.''

-''we'll be there'' said Duke; he looked at me with weird eyes y colorless ''but we're going to try that the things will be between you two, alright?''

I was too angry to answer. So I got out hitting the door. In five seconds I heard steps behind me, and I don't even turned around, because I was at hundred percent sure that it was Yugi.

-''May I know what the hell it's going on with you?'' he asked me still following me, I haven't turned around yet.

-''have a cigarette?'' that's all I said to him, for now

-''you know I never take one with me''

-''it's true, I forgot it'' I started looking, and I found one on my pocket.

-''what it's your problem?'' he asked me again

-''none'' I wasn't in good conditions to answer for questions like that.

-''that Kaiba it's not here?''

-''Don't start'' he stayed quiet for a while. Once he was bothering me when he shouldn't have, and I was about to left him without breath. Then I felt kind of sorry for what I did, but it wasn't my fault. He already knows that I'm thoughtless when I'm angry.

-''maybe he has gone forever''

-''would you stop?'' I closed my eyes. Last night I've been walking around until four o'clock and I was tired.

-''this place is a shit'' it wasn't common for Yugi to say those words, he was always so quiet that every time you hear from Yugi a word like that it's impressively.

-''go away if you want to'' I'm getting tired of having listen to him. He sighed and kept looking at the river.

Now wondering, I don't know why I let Yugi to stay with us, god, how worry he get for everything! I made everything for him, and sometimes he let me see his homework to copy it, that's why I never failed a subject or a year, but that's not the reason of why he's with us, maybe it is because he's too short and seems to be weak, and I protect him from everyone, and the most important, he has been there when I'm in big problems and he helps me solve it, even if he's to oddly, he was my brother.
