"You three are still here, I see," Ishizu remarked after finding Duke, Marik and Seto seated outside her classroom door.

"Well, I had nowhere else to go," Duke confessed.

"And I thought I should explain what actually happened in class," Seto added, stressing the word 'actually.'

"What is there to explain?" Ishizu sighed, as she started walking away. "You six blatantly interrupted my class, and nearly engaged in a physical fight. Any other teacher would have done the same, if not worse."

"Actually I wasn't part..." Marik began, until his sister sharply interrupted.

"And I expected better from you Marik!"

"But I didn't do anything!"

"Whining will get you nowhere."

"But sis!"

"No, for once, he's correct," Seto stated, interrupting the sibling feud. "It was all Joey's doing. The rest of us had no part in any outbreak."

"See, even the cold hearted bastard agrees with me! Hey wait, what do you mean by 'for once'?"

"I'm sorry, but from what I've observed all of you took part in the disturbance. Now if you'll excuse me I have other business to attend to." She quickly vacated the area, leaving behind a quite angry Marik, a very aggravated Seto, and an indifferent Duke.

"Bitch," Marik muttered, stomping away to his dorm. A wide variety of other obscenities slipped under his breath as well. This frustration with his sister rendered him blind to everything occurring around him. He hadn't even noticed Devin racing down the hallway until they both collided into one another, books scattering everywhere. "Woah, where are you headed to in such a hurry?" he smirked, collecting all the books and papers that had fallen.

Devin quickly rose to her feet, smoothing out both her long, auburn locks and red plaid dress. "No where in particular," she remarked. "Why?" Her eyebrows rose, a skeptical expression occupying her face.

"I've got a present for you." The manner in which he said this statement, increased Devin's skepticism.

"Oh really? Well, will I enjoy this gift?"

"I am quite certain that you shall. Let's just say a little fairy left me some fairy dust to share with others."

Devin smirked, his implication dawning on her. "Well if that's the case how can I pass up such an offer?"

Marik chuckled, and led Devin into his and Ryo's room. From underneath his boxer drawer he extracted a pale, yellow bundle. She shot him a "you've got to be kidding me" look to which he simply responded to with a shrug. By way of razorblade he cut the bundle into a fine powder, and organized the powder into two crooked lines. Before the two could enjoy their drug of choice Ryo abruptly entered the room, leaving them staring at the innocent, Brit with stunned expressions. "Yo," Marik hesitantly greeted. "How it's goin'?"

Ryo simply sighed, his eyes fixed on the two addicts with his hands placed on his hips in a patronizing manner. "H-hey Ryo," Devin added flashing an innocent smile. "So nice of you to stop by."

"I live here," he remarked shaking his head. "And just what are you two up to?"

"Nothing now," Marik grumbled, a look of utter displeasure occupying his face.

"Oh come on," Devin added. 'There's no sense in letting this go to waste. I mean it'd be such a waste of money."

"Devin," Ryo began, a stern tone in his voice. "You said you quit."

"I'm weaning off, can't go cold turkey."

"Devin."

"One line and I'll swear I'll make it up to you."

"Yeah," Marik quickly added. "Just one line, you can even have one if you want."

"Do you honestly think I'd ever try drugs?" Ryo frowned at the blonde Egyptian.

"One time won't kill you, I mean you've gotta try everything once. Live life to the fullest, right?"

"Live fast die young." Devin smirked, her arms around Ryo's tiny waist. "What's the point of living if you never let loose?"

"Peer pressure won't work." The frown on Ryo's face deepened, while the grins on both Marik's and Devin's faces only grew.

"We're not asking you to become an addict. Just to try something new. Something that'll make you feel good."

"Not just good, great," Marik corrected.

"Bugger," Ryo sighed, his face softening. "You two are bloody persistent."

"We'll shut-up if you give it a go." The smirk on Marik's face grew even more, as he noticed Ryo's will breaking down.

"Bloody hell."
