Chapter 1
In the class Ryou, Marik, and Yugi sit together.
"So you guys are in the same art club?" Marik asks as he leans on his chair. He sits right next to Ryou who sits next to the window and behind Yugi.
"Yeah it's really fun!" Yugi smiles.
"You should join Marik! It's every Monday thru Friday, except Holidays or special events, at five o'clock and it ends at seven." Ryou says.
"Hmm maybe. I'm not good at drawing though." Marik confesses.
"Haha that's fine. It's different types of art like acting, drawing sculpting, fashion, etc, etc." Yugi shows Marik a pamphlet.
"Fashion?" Marik looks at the fashion section.
"Yeah. It's where you can make different types of clothes or even learn from scratch! It doesn't matter if your a beginner or a pro. It's just something to do for fun." Ryou smiles brightly as he had that glee of hope that Marik would join.
"I would have to ask my dad but if he says yes I'll be happy to join." Marik smiles knowing it would make Ryou happy.
"Great!" Ryou and Yugi high five each other and quiet down once Chono-sensei enters the room.
"Good morning new students! I am Chono-sensei and I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next four years and I'll also be your English teacher for this year." Chono says as she smiles kindly.
"Wow she has a lot of make-up on." Marik whispers to Ryou who nods in responds.
"Now I will take roll call. Say here when you hear your name."
She says a few names first.
"Oh Marik Crawford-san, the youngest son of Pegasus Crawford-san, our principal." Chono smiles.
"Here Chono-sensei." Marik raises his hand.
"Well I expect you to be more like your father and not like your older brothers." She smiles "kindly" which just had Marik nodding.
She says a few more names.
"Yugi Orichalcos-kun." She says.
"Here Chono-sensei." Yugi raises his hand.
"Ah I take it your Atem-kun and Yami-kun's younger brother. They're one of my best students in my advance English. I expect you do the same Yugi-kun." Chono smiles at Yugi.
"I will do the best that I can Sensei!" Yugi smiles back.
"I'm glad to hear that." She says as she continues the roll call.
"Oh Ryou Tozokuo-kun." She says with a strain voice and smile.
Ryou sighs as he guessed his older brothers left a very bad impression to his teacher.
"Here Chono-sensei." Ryou raises his hand and smiles.
"Well I hope you aren't as rowdy or inappropriate as your older brother." Chono smiles.
"I do apologize for whatever my brothers did in the past." Ryou stands and bows politely before he sits down.
It surprised Chono that the youngest of the Tozokuo boys would be so polite and well mannered.
"Well let's hope you can make up for their misbehavior." She smiles and continues until she is done.
"Now for the rest of homeroom you can mingle and get to know each other." Chono says as she leaves the class room since she felt her make-up crack and wanted to fix it.
"Wow she really doesn't like your older brothers Ry." Yugi says as he turn to Ryou.
"Yeah I got the memo. A lot of teachers in the past never liked my brothers. I don't get why but then again they're always messing around." Ryou smiles. "But what surprised me is that your dad is the principle Marik."
"Yeah I get that a lot." Marik sighs. "I was actually here in school at like five in the morning to help with decorating."
"Wow." Yugi and Ryou say.
"Yeah but she doesn't like my brothers very much. Each time Mariku or Malik get into trouble dad just gives them detention and then he grounds them when we get home." Marik laughs. "But Chono doesn't like them even more so because she would rather get them suspended or even expelled. She wants to enforce and make harsher rules but my dad isn't letting her." He explains.
"Oh. That explains a bit then." Ryou says.
"Hmm maybe she'll try to get on your good side so you can help her with your dad." Yugi says.
"Probably." Marik smiles. "But I'm as bad as my brothers when it comes to pranks."
The three laugh and talk as Chono comes back.
"Now Yugi-kun be a good boy and pass these out for me." Chono lifts some papers that were their schedules. Yugi couldn't really refuse so he got up and took the papers with a smile.
"Gladly Sensei." Yugi smiles as he starts to call names to find out who is who.
Once he finishes he sits back down and Chono let them do what they wanted for the rest of homeroom.
"Hmm I have homeroom, Math, Egyptian history, lunch, English, mythology, and P.E." Ryou says.
"I have homeroom, 10th grade English, Egyptian history, lunch, math, mythology, and P.E." Yugi says.
"I have homeroom, Math, Egyptian history, lunch, Remedial English, mythology, and P.E." Marik sighs.
"Why do you need remedial English?" Ryou asks.
"I kinda suck at it." Marik smiles.
"I can tutor you if you want?" Yugi asks.
"That would actually be helpful since your in 10th grade English. How did you get so good?" Marik asks.
"My father is good in English and so are my older brothers." Yugi blushes a bit.
"Tutor me too Yugi. I want to get better too!" Ryou smiles as they all laugh.
"So what do you have?" Malik asks Bakura as they sit in their homeroom class.
"Hmm I got homeroom, English, science, lunch, math, art, and P.E. damn it can't you get your dad to get me out of art?" Bakura asks.
"I don't think you want to move when I tell you my classes." Malik smirks. "I got homeroom, English, math, lunch, science art, and P.E."
"Hey we got the same classes! Except for two though." Bakura smirks.
"Yeah but English is going to be fun man since we have Chono again." Malik smirks evilly.
"Oh yeah that will be fun." Bakura smirks as they high five each other.
"Hmm I wonder what the perfect star got." Malik says.
"Why do you want to know?" The white hair teen asks as he takes out a sling shot.
"So we can torment him." The sandy blond hair teen says as he takes out a bag of balloons.
"Well you can ask later." Bakura says as he opens the window and spots Malik's dad and the vice principal.
"Hey Malik your dad's outside."
"Really?" He looks out and sees that he's right.
"Well it wouldn't be the first day of school without a water ballon attack now would it." Bakura smirks.
"You got it right bud." Malik takes out another sling shot as they both take a water ballon and load it. How did the balloons not pop in Malik's backpack is a mystery.
"Ready." They stretch it.
"Aim." They aim.
"Fire!" They let go and the water balloons land on the principle and vice principle.
"What the!" They two grown up yell as Bakura and Malik laugh.
"Bakura Tozokuo and Malik Crawford I hope we won't start the year with you two in the principle's office again." Their homeroom teacher, Rafael-sensei, tells them from his desk.
"Oh come on Sensei we do this every time. Can't you let this one slide?" Bakura says.
"Because it's the first day of school I'll let it side but Malik-kun I'm sure you father knows it's you and Bakura-kun who threw those water ballon's." Rafael says.
"Yeah yeah." Malik waves it off as they check on his father and the vice principle from the window.
A few student including people from their class check outside their windows as they heard the vice principal shout.
"Those damn kids!" He shouts. A lot of students laughs at that as the principle looks at Bakura and Malik with a smirk.
"I think your getting grounded." Bakura laughs.
"Your getting detention." Malik laughs.
"Pranks already and it's only homeroom." Yami says as he walks up to them.
"What do you care goody two shoes?" Bakura frowns.
"Not much just came to say hi." Yami smirks at them.
"Yeah right. Are you going to rat us out?" Malik asks.
"Na it was too funny, plus Gozaburo needed a wash." Yami chuckles.
"Hmm your alright sometimes you know that." Malik says.
"I get that a lot. Talk to you guys later." Yami waves as he goes to talk to a tall brunet guy with icy blue eyes.
"Hmm we might use him later on for our pranks." Bakura says.
"Yeah." Malik smirks as they look outside again to find that the two adults have walked away already.
"Ahh nothing like the start of a new year with a water ballon prank." Akefia laughs.
"Brought to you by idiot brothers." Mariku and Akefia laugh even more.
"So what are our classes again?" Akefia asks.
"We both have homeroom, Math, art, lunch, English, mythology, and P.E." Mariku says.
"Nice." They fist bump each other.
"Hehe so ditch math and go to the roof?" Mariku says.
"Hell yeah."
"Ditching class again and it's only the first day of school. I believe that is a record." Atem says as he sits next to Akefia.
"Yeah what of it?" Akefia raises an eyebrow.
"Well I do wonder what you guys do up there or is it that you guys make out?" Atem smirks.
"Wouldn't you like to join." Mariku winks earning a laugh from Akefia.
"Na three ways aren't my thing." Atem winks back with a smirk as he gets up and walks to a tall tan brunet with icy blue eyes.
"Hm he got us there." Akefia says.
"Yeah but we'll get him back later." Mariku says as the bell rings for first period.
"Yeah so make out?" They laugh as they get their school bags and head to the stairs that lead to the roof.
Once they see the stairs a figure can be seen standing right in front of it.
"Uh oh." Mariku and Akefia say as they try to walk back slowly hoping the person didn't see them but he did.
"And where do you boys think your going?" Pegasus Crawford says. He has silver hair that covers his right eye, which is the color purple, and he has peach skin.
"To class." Mariku says with a smile.
"Then I'll walk you boys there." Pegasus smiles as he grabs the collar of the two boys shirts as he walks them to class. "It's math I presume."
"Yeah." Mariku grumbles.
"Now I hope I see less ditching periods to go to the rooftop boys. I believe you don't want me to call your father again Akefia, I'm sure he doesn't want any of those from you or Bakura." Pegasus says.
"No sir." Akefia says.
"Now as you know I love a good joke so I'll let what Bakura and Malik did this morning slide but tell him that I expect him to do good in his classes." He continues.
"Yes sir." Akefia responds.
"Oh," they get to the door of Mariku's and Akefia's math class. "Say hello to your little brother Ryou, he looks like a doll." Pegasus hands Akefia two papers and Mariku another two.
"I'll see you in my office after school son." Pegasus tells Mariku before he walks away.
"How does he always catch us?" Akefia asks.
"I'm telling you man, he's a psychic or something." Mariku says as they walk in class.
Akefia looks at the papers Pegasus gave him and sees that it's Bakura's and Ryou's schedules. "The old man really is." He mutters as they take their seat in math class.
"How can you navigate so quickly?" Ryou asks as he and Marik pant in their seats in math class.
"I've been to this school way more often than I've been given credit for." Marik sighs.
"Who knew the people could be so so..."
"Chaotic."
"Yeah!"
"Haha yeah but we're fine now so let's just learn and remember to pack your stuff 5 mins before the bell rings. Our Egyptian class is on the other side of the school and we will have to run down the stairs." He says.
"Oh great." Ryou sighs as he lays his head on his desks as Marik laughs at his new friends despair.
"Don't laugh at me." Ryou pouts.
"Sorry your just so cute." Marik smiles buts then blushes when he says that.
"Oh umm thanks." Ryou blushes.
Marik was about to say something but the teacher gets in and starts to introduce himself and gets the lesson going.
Yugi had stayed seated where he was since his class is with Chono so he stayed were he was. Chono had stepped out for a bit, Yugi guessed it was for her make-up so he just decided to look out the window.
"Well well well if it isn't the youngest Orichalcos boy." A few chuckles sprout as Yugi turns his head to see Bakura and Malik.
"What are you doing here? In a tenth grade class no less." Bakura smirks as he and Malik surround the young teen.
"I-I have this class." Yugi says shyly.
"Oh so your smart like your brothers. Figures since you look a lot like them." Malik says.
"Yeah but shorter and whimpier." Bakura smirks.
"Well since your smart you don't mind helping us for the year now do you?" Malik says as he pinches Yugi's cheek.
"I-if you don't understand something I would be glad to help." Yugi smiles as best as he can.
"Good boy." Bakura smirks as Chono comes in. Malik let's go of Yugi's cheek as he sits to the side of Yugi and Bakura sits in back of Yugi.
"Hello everyone now I see some new faces and some old ones. So I'll introduce my self. I am Chono-sensei and I'll be your tenth grade English teacher. Now say here when I call you name." She says a few names and then sighs when she comes across the next name.
"Malik Crawford."
"Here~!" Malik says loudly with a smirk.
"I hope this time you don't do any pranks in my class Malik or I will have a stern talk with your father." She glares at him.
"Whatever you say Sensei~" Malik winks as he high fives Bakura.
"The same goes for you Bakura." She says.
"Yes madam." Bakura smiles too innocently.
Chono rolls her eyes as she continues the roll call.
"Yugi Orichalcos-kun. Oh that's right you are in my class today. I'm glad your following your brothers footsteps." She says.
"Thank you Sensei." Yugi smiles.
Chono continues to call roll.
"Bakura Tozokuo I know your here." She says as she marks him present and writes something else.
She says the rest of the names and the gives an introductory to the class. The whole time Bakura and Malik pass notes and throw stuff at Yugi.
Yugi sighs as he knew he was going to have a long year ahead of him.
"Your brothers are umm interesting." Yugi says as he sits with Ryou and Marik in their Egyptian History class.
"What did they do?" Ryou sighs. "If Bakura is teasing you I'll make him stop."
"Oh no it's nothing like that they're just umm interesting." Yugi says again.
"Let's me guess they said something maybe along the lines of "helping" them with something." Marik does the air quotations when he says helping.
"Maybe." Yugi says sheepishly.
"Yeah just ignore them. They'll get tired...eventually." Marik sighs.
"If it gets to out of hand I'll talk to Bakura." Ryou smiles.
"Thanks Ry." Yugi smiles with a blush.
"Hey what about me?" Marik pouts as the other two giggle a bit.
"Thank you as well Marik." Yugi giggles.
"That's better." Marik smiles as they rest laugh.
Class started as they pay attention until the bell rings for lunch.
"Do you know how to get to the lunch area Yugi?" Marik asks.
"No not really." Yugi smiles.
"Come on I'll show you since we're going that way." Marik says as they walk to the lunch hall.
Once they get there Yugi waves good bye at them and heads to look for his brothers.
"We'll look at you two, being big boys and finding your way to the lunch room." Bakura says as he picks up Ryou.
"Big brother." Ryou says with a little pout. "Can you put me down?"
"Nope." Bakura smirks.
"They grow up so fast." Malik says with sarcasm as he puts his arm around his little brother.
"Where's Akefia? And Mariku?" Ryou asks as he saw people were staring at him.
"Waiting for us. Come on. We are showing you our spot." Bakura said as they walked. Well Ryou was carried but the rest walked.
They walked to the farthest table in the cafeteria. There they see Akefia and Mariku with six trays of food.
"Why is there six trays?" Ryou asked as Bakura handed Ryou over to Akefia. Akefia makes Ryou sit on his lap.
"Because little brother, the Crawford boy's eat a lot." Akefia nuzzles his face in Ryou's neck. Bakura grabbed Ryou's back pack and grabbed their lunches out.
"Ah so you're the famous cook." Mariku said looking at Ryou.
"I-I'm n-not that good." Ryou looked down blushing.
"Aww the little bunny is blushing." Malik teased making Ryou's blush deepen.
"Stop teasing Ryou, Malik." Marik said as he ate his food.
"You're the one who called him a bunny first." Malik said.
"Well I uhh..." Marik blushed looking down.
"No comeback little brother?" Malik teased but then Mariku hit him on the head.
"Ow! Will you stop that?!" Malik yelled at him.
"Na." Mariku smiled as he ate.
'Is this how they always are? It will take some time to get used to them.' Ryou thought as he was fed by Akefia and Bakura.
"Did they pick on you?" Yami asked as Yugi sat in the middle of Atem and Yami.
"No they were uhh nice?" Yugi questions.
"If they pick on you tell me and I'll set them straight." Atem said.
"I know big brother-" Yugi started.
"Or tell your teacher. Especially Chono. She'll make sure they don't bully you." Yami said.
"I know big brother-" Yugi tried to talk again.
"Were you nice and respectful in your classes?" Atem asked.
"Yes I was. I always am." Yugi said as he started to eat.
"Good." He kissed his head. "We plan on you being in the student council with us."
"What? Why?" Yugi asked.
"So we can keep an eye on you." Yami said. "You'll run for class president as well."
Yugi just nodded. He had to run for class president in middle school and elementary school too back then.
"Good." Atem smiled. He was his grade's president and so was Yami. They were always president and Yugi was force to follow. Their father is the chief in the police force so Yugi felt pressure from all sides to be the best.
"Eat up Yugi. You won't grow if you don't eat." Yami said as he ate.
"You two are short too!" Yugi pouted.
"Not as short as you." Atem smirked making Yugi pout more. "Oh and I'd keep an eye out for the youngest Tozokuo. His brothers are bad news."
"Ryou isn't like them. He's sweet." Yugi said.
"Have a crush little Yugi?" Yami smirked.
"I do not." Yugi blushed and looked away. "He's just nice and he's my friend and he's nothing like his brothers."
Atem looks and smirked. "His brothers are something. The Crawford's are as well." He ruffles his hair. "You'll be meeting the principle after school."
"Why?" Yugi asked.
"Because we have to do something for council." Yami said.
"Oh okay." Yugi said as he ate. He looked over at Ryou's and Marik's table. There were in different social groups. Ryou and Marik were mostly surrounded by bullies and troublemakers while he was surrounded by athletes, cheerleaders, book smart people, and basically the poplar crowed.
'They have each other. So lucky.'
