Chapter Two:

It's been two days since Yuugi asked me to go to the arcade with him and the others. I think he's mad at me because he didn't say anything to me when he handed back my worksheet. He hasn't spoken to me since those two days ago…

It's after school and I'm finally at my house. I'm soaking wet because I had to walk out in the rain. As I went to unlock the door, I noticed it was already unlocked. I guess Bakura was home today. I walk in and find Marik, Bakura, and Malik on the couch watching T.V. When they heard my footsteps, they looked up to see who it was. I gave them the best smile I could and hurriedly walked to the kitchen. I guess I'd be setting the table for four people today.

"Hikari," Bakura greeted as he headed to the refrigerator. He took out three cans of soda and quickly made his way back to the living room.

I hated days like these…they just made everything worse. I hated how the sun didn't shine. Hated the crying sky…hated how days like these made me feel even more depressed…

Bakura and the other two…they had no problem with it…Hell; they were having a good time watching a movie while I was stuck making dinner. The kitchen was the only room illuminated. All the other rooms in the house were dark; and were just as gloomy as outside.

Sometimes I ask myself how someone as evil as Bakura was could have any friends at all. But than I tell myself he was never really evil; just misunderstood. And the other two used to be psychotic like him anyways…

After making dinner I decided that I wasn't very hungry at all. I filled three plates with food and brought them to the three. Marik was leaning against Bakura who had his arm around him and Malik was cuddled up between Marik's legs. I thought it was cute in a…freaky way.

After giving the three their food I decided to take a walk in the pouring rain. Maybe than I can cry and it won't be noticeable…


I wake up to a pounding head and stuffy nose. It was still raining but wasn't as gloomy as yesterday. I put a hand on my pounding head as I make my way toward the bathroom.

After opening the cabinet, I noticed that I was all out of cold medicine. I sigh and decided that I'd have to go to the store…I just wanted to stay home today. But there was no way I'd be able to make it through the day without medicine.

I quickly change into my favorite long tan wool sweater. The sleeves were a little long and it was baggy, but that's how I liked my sweaters. I threw on a pair of tight blue jeans, grabbed money, put on a pair of dark blue mittens and a hat, and headed outside to go to the store.

I got caught up going to the grocery store after the pharmacy- so much for staying home…

As I turned the corner I hear people laughing. I look up and see Jou and Honda. With that one little glance I guess they knew that I was looking at them.

"What? You wanna start a fight?!" Jou yelled at me. I shake my head and turn around to leave. That's when I felt a hand grab the back of my sweater. "Don't you walk away from me!" He screamed. I couldn't believe I put myself in this position. I should have just walked right home after buying the medicine. But no…I just had to come to the grocery store.

"Jou stop. You're making a scene," Honda whispered. He only said it because he was afraid of getting kicked out, not afraid for my sake.

Jou let go of me. I stare up at him with hurtful eyes. Everything was getting so blurry as tears welled up in my brown eyes. They really do hate me…

"You're a disgusting person. Thinking you're so better than everyone else!" But…I don't, I don't feel like I'm better than everyone else…

The voice in my head told me to just drop my bags and run out of here, but my legs wouldn't move.

"Jou, Honda? What's going on?" I knew that voice all too well. It was…Yuugi. Honda and Jou stepped aside and turned to face Yuugi.

"Ry-ou? What's going on?" He sounded really surprised to see me. Heck, I was surprised that I'm seeing him right now.

Both of us just stared at each other for a moment. I heard Jou saying something that I need a good punch in the face but I didn't remove my gaze from my crush.

"Ryou, do you want to go to eat with Jou, Honda, Anzu, Otogi, Yami and I? You could give me your address and-"

I cut him off. "I'm really busy today." I look down at the dirty tiled floor. Today was just getting worse and worse.

"You freak! You didn't even let him finish his question! You rude ass!"

"Hey!" My eyes widened. That couldn't be who I thought it was. I turned around to see a ferocious beast-also known as Bakura- and Marik and Malik. They all were glaring at the three teens. "The only person that is allowed to pick on my hikari is me!" He shouted. Why was Bakura protecting me? He…never did that before.

All three of their eyes widened. Jou mumbled something like, "Let's get out of here." And he and Honda ran off. Yuugi on the other hand…

Yuugi sighed, "Could I come over and help you with whatever's making you busy? Maybe if we complete everything…"

"Ryou? Busy? All he ever does is sit in his room." Bakura laughed as so did the other psychos.

Yuugi's eyes widened at Bakura's statement. Not in fear, but disbelief.

"Well hikari, we were just here to get a few things…"Bakura trailed off than the other three left. He meant that they were here to steal a few things.

I looked back at Yuugi who had a hurt expression. He looked like he was ready to cry…

Bakura! That stupid big mouth!

"You…lied to me?" Before I knew what was happening Yuugi's hand collided with my cheek. "I thought…" Yuugi shook his head. "…we were friends…" My eyes widened. He considered us friends?

He ran off and didn't look back.

As much as I wanted to mad at Bakura, I knew that I couldn't. Because I was the one who lied to Yuugi in the first place…

I sigh and head to the checkout.

I was going to make this longer, but…I want to keep everyone hooked at this spot. xD

Reviews please. I really hope everyone liked this…
