Things That Go Bump in the Night

Chapter 3

The next morning at Domino High school, Yugi was walking in the hallway when he spotted Joey, Tristan, Duke, Ryou, and Bakura standing by the lockers. The smaller teen ran up to them with a smile.

Joey noticed Yugi and said, "Mornin' Yug, what's shakin'?"

"Nothing much, so how are you guys doing this morning?"

"Alright, were just talking about Halloween plans." Tristan answered.

"Oh well, what are you planning?"

"Tristan and I are going to a wicked concert being held in Tokyo." the dice master answered.

"That sounds like fun," Yugi turned to Ryou and asked, "What about you two, Ryou?"

The white haired teen was about to speak till he was interrupted by Bakura who placed his arm around his hikari's waist, "Actually, me and my hikari are going to be busy that night…if you know what I mean." he said with a lusty look in his eyes.

"Bakura!" the British speaking boy cried in embarrassment.

"Calm down Ryou, besides he wanted to know. They were going to find out sooner or later."

The others gave both of them weird looks and there was a moment's silence when Duke said, "Anyways…Yugi, what are you and Joey doing?"

"We don't know yet?"

Bakura snickered evilly, "I bet their going to go out with those two new students."

Joey and Yugi blushed wildly as they cried, "What are you talking about, Bakura?"

"Didn't you guys hear? Everyone's talking about it; those guys have major crushes on you." Duke said.

"W-well that may be the case for Joey but I seriously doubt Yami feels the same way about me."

Tristan sneered at the smaller teen, "Oh so his name is Yami; you know Yug, that's the first step in a relationship."

Joey went over to the brown cone haired teen and placed his arm around his shoulder, "Tristan ol' pal, how would you know that when you've never been in a relationship."

"Don't be so sure about that, Joey" Ryou said.

"What do ya mean?"

Tristan gently shoved off Joey's arm and walked over to Duke and wrapped his arm around the dice master's waist. Yugi and Joey widened their eyes at what they saw. Yugi gaped in amazement, "Duke, you and Tristan are…?"

"Yep, Tristan and I are dating each other."

"Oh my God!" Joey cried in excitement, "This is great; when, how? Seriously where am I when stuff like this happens?"

"We started dating last week; we don't know how it happened it just clicked."

"Congrats you two; that's great!" the amethyst eyed teen said with glee.

"Thanks Yugi, we…Hey look who's coming down the hall." Duke said as the boys looked down the hall. Yugi gasped as his face became red at who he saw. It was Yami Atemu and Seto Kaiba.

At the sight of the sapphire eyed brunet, Joey panicked and hid behind Ryou and Bakura. The two look alikes looked strangely at him, "Joey, what are you…?"

"Shhh…quiet, he'll hear you!"

"Joey, what the hell is wrong with you?" Bakura asked.

"Hush, I don't want Kaiba to find me!"

"Why not?" Ryou asked.

"Because he scares me!" Ryou and Bakura rolled their eyes at the idiotic teen, "I was never here; you never saw me today."

At the sight of Yugi, Yami smirked warmly at him, "Hello Yugi, I'm happy to see your well."

"Hi Yami, it's nice to see you too." the smaller teen said blushing slightly. Tristan and Duke noticed the blushing and grinned evilly at each other.

"Say Yugi, who are your friends?" the crimson eyed teen asked.

"Oh this is Tristan Taylor and Duke Devlin."

"Hey, waz up!" the cone haired teen said shaking both of the teens' hands.

"Nice to meet you two, you guys are the talk of the school." the dice master said as he shook the teen's hands as well.

Yami laughed, "So we've heard, it's nice to meet two." Then the crimson eyed teen turned to his look alike, "Who are these two, Yugi?"

Yugi turned and smiled, "Oh this is Ryou and his boyfriend Bakura."

"Please to meet you two." Yami greeted.

"Likewise." Ryou responded

"So you two are the two new students we've heard about?" Bakura asked, "They're right, you two are attractive."

A mildly, jealous Ryou grabbed his boyfriend's ear tightly, "Ahem…you were saying?"

Bakura winced in pain, "Damn it...I-I-I-I meant not as cute as my hikari!" With that said Ryou gladly let go of his boyfriend's ear, "That's better."

Everyone laughed at Bakura's misfortune till they heard the first bell ring. "Well we better get going, Seto." Yami informed his cousin.

"Alright, it's such a shame that I didn't see my little blond puppy this morning."

"You mean Joey, he's…" the former tomb robber felt the blond pinch his leg, "Oww…what is this, hurt Bakura day or somethin'?"

"Let's get going cousin and I'll see you in math class, little one." Yami said as he winked at the boy with a smirk. Yugi blushed at him as Tristan and Duke chuckled at the teens walked past them.

As they were walking past the two white haired teens, Joey stood up from behind them and took a deep breath of relief, "Man, I was worried there for a second."

Then the blond felt a cold presence behind him say in a cool, loving tone, "I knew you were there the whole time, puppy."

Joey gasped and turned to see the brunet staring at him with those sapphire orbs, "But I…where…you…when…how?"

"Like I said before, I can read you like a book even when you seem to be far away." Kaiba winked at the blond as he turned and walked to class.

"It's official, he is the weirdest guy I've ever met."

"Come on Joey," Ryou began, "He can't be that abnormal no one can…that is if you're Bakura."

"You would be surprised, man."

"What are you implying, hikari?"

"Oh…uh…nothing at all Bakura." the British speaking teen said feigning innocence.

"Whatever, let's get going so I can avoid a lecture." Bakura said as he dragged Ryou away from the group.

"We'd better get going too; see you and Joey later Yug." Tristan said as he and Duke left as well. Yugi and Joey waved back to them and went on to science class.

When the bell rung for second period, Yugi and Joey was heading for math. The amber eyed teen yawned deeply as Yugi sighed, "Joey, you do realize that this is the fifth time you've fallen asleep in science class and I think Mr. Adams is getting impatient with you."

"Oh let 'em Yug, it's not my fault that his lecture on the muscular system was boring."

"Um Joey, we learned about the muscular system last week. Were learning about the skeletal system."

"Whatever they're both systems and they're both boring, who cares?"

The smaller teen rolled his eyes and sighed deeply at his friend, "Oh Joey, what am I going to do with you?"

Once they got to the math class, the teens noticed Kaiba leaning against the doorframe with his arms folded and eyes shut. "Oh damn it, how many times must I run into that guy?" the blond whined.

"Joey, I seriously think you're becoming paranoid."

"Tch…I am not; don't be crazy Yug." Then the amber eyed teen noticed they were getting closer to the brunet and became nervous, "Okay Yug, just act natural and he won't pay any attention."

Yugi sighed, "So much for not being paranoid."

Joey was about to enter the classroom undetected till the brunet looked his way smiling, "Hey puppy, what took you so long?"

"Oh man, how do you do that?"

"Pup, must we go through this again? I…"

"I know, I know, you can read me like a book. I get it, I get it."

"Exactly," Kaiba grabbed Joey's hand, "now let me escort you to our seats."

The blond blushed like crazy, "I can find my own seat, thank you."

"Must you be so like that every time I'm near you?" the sapphire eyed teen asked smirking lovingly, "I'm just trying to help."

The puppy just gave up, "Not like I have a choice."

Yugi was about to enter the classroom as well till he bumped into someone. He looked up to see that it was Yami. "You know little one, we've got to stop meeting like this."

The amethyst eyed teen chuckled lightly, "Yeah, I know."

Yami smiled lovingly at the young boy. In all his years of existence, he's never met a being so pure. Then he offered his arm to the other, "Going my way?"

"Uh sure…Yami." Yugi said blushing as he wrapped his arm around the other's arm.

In the back of the classroom, Aaron watched the display and became enraged. He was so full of hate and jealousy, he head would've spinned. "Who does that chump think he is; he's all over my Yugi. Alright Mr. Look Alike, we'll see who get's Yugi's heart in the end." the cerulean eyed teen grinned evilly as his eyes flashed to dark green.
