@o@ Waaaaa!!!! 50 Reviews? Are you serious? 50 Reviews? *cries in happiness* That's half of my life long goal at fanfiction.net! I feel so loved! THANK YOU everyone!!! Arigatou, minna-san!!! (That was fun! Maybe I should use Japanese more often in my fics...) *calms down and gets embarrassed* Do you guys really like this fic that much?

Anyway, I'll try to add more fluff in this chapter. The key word is "try." I'm still inexperienced. Thank you Sarah and jao kolad for telling me to have more confidence in myself. I think I might have gone too fast in chapter 3, skipping the duel and all the other fun times Yugi and Yami had during their first week together, so I'll try to slow down and add more quality time.

I also just realized that I do not have to do the disclaimer. I can just get Yami over here to say it.

Yami: *pops out of nowhere* Where am I?

YXW: *sooooo happy but resists the urge to glomp him* Hi, Yami! You're in my office! Now, please do the disclaimer.

Yami: *looks at the piece of paper* Do I have to?

YXW: Well, you don't really HAVE to, but I'm afraid I'll have to discontinue the story if you don't. Or probably destroy the whole thing since I don't want lawyers coming after me.

Yami: What? And leave poor Yugi all alone again? No! Okay, okay! Yo Xi Wang does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! She does not own me, Yugi, or anyone else in the story either. Even Ushio is a character from season 1, in case you didn't know.

Cool! That felt so great! From now on, I will get Yami to say the disclaimer. Or Yugi if he's not too shy.

This fic contains Yugi/Yami yaoi. So if you don't like, then don't read by all means! Also, there will be a little bit of Anzu bashing in here because many reviewers and myself don't like her. Those are all the warnings.

"..." is speaking and '...' is thinking

Now, please move on to the fic!

Chapter 4

For the remaining days of the weekend after the museum incident, Yugi tossed and turned in his sleep. He kept dreaming of Ushio and the demonic voice that shouted out warnings to him. He awoke in the middle of the night, covered in sweat, and on the brink of tears. He huddled within the blanket sheets and wondered what he did to ever deserve this. For the minute there, he almost felt like he was back to his old self, the lonely lost child who was rejected by everyone and hated by all.

Yugi shook his head, trying to reassure himself that he had someone who cared. Yami. But no sooner had he thought of him that his pessimistic side started to take over again and ask him a bunch of questions. Why would Yami want to be your friend when no once else does? Why didn't he just ignore you when Ushio was beating you up? It would be so much easier if he had left you alone...

'Maybe I am being a burden to him,' Yugi thought tearfully. 'But it seemed like he had fun when we dueled each other... and I could never forget how he comforted me at the museum...' He closed his eyes and recalled the feel of Yami's arms holding him protectively, making him feel warm and secure and comfortable. 'I'm so lucky to have such a great friend...' he drifted off back to sleep despite knowing deep down that he would face those nightmares again. He just hoped that Yami would be able to help him in his dreams like he did in real life...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Monday morning finally came, but poor Yugi was so tired from lack of sleep that he could hardly sit up. He rolled off the bed and landed hard on the floor. "Itai.(ouch)," he mumbled when he felt building blocks dig into his back. He creaked open one eye wearily to look from the carpet view at his room. His eyes fell on the crumpled up piece of paper he had hastily ripped from his sketchbook when he saw Ushio. He had somehow managed to hold onto it all throughout everything that happened, but it ended up being bent and ruffled up in his pocket.

He reached over and opened it up, wondering how he could have missed it before. Perhaps in all the colorful mess of objects in his room, he didn't notice the worn whitish gray of the drawing. He looked fondly at the picture, still being able to imagine the masterpiece in his mind. The picture was actually pretty good and it had every detail it was supposed to. Then Yugi noticed something alarming. The drawing of the angel...Its eyes...He remembered clearly that the ones in the painting were soft blue and gave a sense that the owner was very young. The ones he drew were different. More angular, more sharp, they caused the person looking at them to feel intimidated by the intense look. It was weird since it transformed the angel and made it look darker, more demonic, but still it did not change the fact it was an angel and did good and believed in righteousness.

Yugi couldn't wonder any longer because he heard the sound of wheels pulling up to his driveway. He scrambled up from the floor and took a glance out the window. Yes, that was Yami. He then realized he was extremely late. Getting over his sleepiness, he zipped through his daily routine at hyper speed and zoomed out the door with a piece of toast in his mouth, leaving a very startled grandfather at the door.

"Sowy to kweep you waiting!" Yami smiled, amused, as he watched Yugi struggle to swallow the toast while getting on the motorcycle at the same time. He ended up tripping over the pedal and Yami had to grab his shirt to keep him from slipping over the side of the vehicle. (A/N: I know, it's kind of hard to imagine.) Finally Yugi managed to get onto his seat. He tried hurriedly to brush the excess bangs from his eyes which blocked his view.

"Take it easy, Yugi," Yami laughed. "You won't be late for school." Yugi blushed with embarrassment as he nodded.

"But your school starts earlier than mine," he protested. "You'll be late."

"That's where you're wrong," Yugi tilted his head to the side, confused. Yami smiled mysteriously before turning around and starting the engine. "You'll see."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yugi wondered silently as he walked down the hall to class. He slid open the door (A/N: A lot of Japanese schools use those. They're cool! ^__^) and took a seat. He was used to the disgusted look of some of his classmates and being simply ignored whenever he came in. He didn't even bother to say good morning like all the other kids did. What was the point if no one was there to listen to him? The bell rang and at almost the exact same time, his first period teacher entered the room.

"Settle down, class," Mr. Fushigi said. He made his way to the front of the room, dropped his books on the desk, and picked up the chalk. "Before we begin today, we have a new transfer student joining us." He scribbled something on the board before speaking, "Come in, please."

Yugi fiddled with his fingers absentmindedly. 'Another one?' he thought. 'We already had Ryou Bakura and Malik Ishtar all in this one year. Who could it be this time?' Shoes clicked as the new student came into the classroom. Yugi's mouth nearly dropped.

"Yami Mutou," the teacher said. The tri-colored boy really aroused a lot of attention. People kept on pointing to him and looking back and forth from him to Yugi. These people were mostly guys. All the girls were too busy drooling and fainting at the gorgeous figure in the front of the room, including one particular waitress named Anzu.

"I know him!" she screeched. All eyes turned to her in disbelief. She just shot them a nasty look and turned her gaze back to Yami. Yugi himself was finding it hard NOT to drool at Yami. Along with his tight navy blue sleeveless shirt adored with buckles, he wore shiny leather pants that fit snugly to his legs, showing every delectable curve. His slender arms were bare, showing the hints of a muscular build, as they fell at his sides. The neck buckle and belt with a dash of a chain running into his pocket only added to his already impressive appearance. He kept his head the slightest bit tilted downward, causing shadows to play on his face, giving him a mysterious and dark look along with his enchanting crimson-eyed gaze half covered by his silky golden bangs. (A/N: **drools puddles** Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! HOT!!!!!! *gets burned by her own thoughts* Yeowch! Thank you lord for blessing our lives with this beautiful creature!! This goes for all other Yami-obsessed girls. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did writing it! ^__~)

"Mr. Yami, you're aware that there's a school rule that enforces the use of uniforms..." Mr. Fushigi said.

"I know that, sensei," Yami replied. His rich, smooth voice only caused more girls to faint. It even sent a shiver up Yugi's spine. He never noticed how...nice Yami's voice sounded. The new student held up the school jacket that was previously on top of his bag. He started to put it on only to have murmurs of protest fill the room. Things such as "No! Keep it off!" and "No jacket!" swept the entire classroom of students. The boys in the room, however, remained quiet, some looking defiantly at Yami.

"Well..." the teacher began. He was one of the nicer, more understanding people. "Fine. Mr. Yami, you do not have to wear it if you do not wish to." The cheers that erupted nearly drowned out his next instructions. "Please take a seat behind Mr. Mutou. He's the one who looks a lot like you." Yami obeyed silently. As he walked through the aisle, he felt all eyes on him and he heard many swoons, especially a very loud one from you-know-who. It caused him to sweatdrop the slightest bit internally. The only person he was really glad to see was Yugi who looked at him with a mix of shock, surprise, delight, and confusion.

"I'll explain later," he whispered to the small boy. He then took his seat and the lesson began.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It seemed forever until lunchtime came. It was not just because of Yugi's anxiousness to know why Yami transferred to his school but out of nervousness from just knowing that Yami was behind him. He didn't know why he was feeling the way he did, but just thinking that Yami was right there and might even be watching his every movement made him feel jittery and caused his heart rate to speed up. In fact, he was nearly correct in what he thought because most of the time, Yami WAS watching him. Very closely too. Both of them tried to ignore all the attention they got from their peers, some having already figured out they had the same last name. It was actually just pure coincidence, but their similar appearances were definitely something to marvel about. They could pass as twins practically.

As soon as the class was dismissed, Yugi felt a hand land on his shoulder, causing him to jump a bit. "Come, Yugi. I'll explain when we get outside." He started to follow Yami when the other boy suddenly turned around. "Um, I don't know the school very well yet. Maybe you should lead the way."

Yugi giggled as he took the lead. "Sure, I can give you a whole tour too." It felt good to have a friend around. He had always seen other people walk to classes together, do homework together, and eat lunch together. They always looked like they had so much fun, but he had never been able to experience that. He had always been the only one left out of the loop and always the single person left when people partnered up for a project or activity. Until now. His smile broadened as he realized how fortunate he was, or at least in his point of view.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Anzu searched the lunchroom quickly. She had just broken up with another one of her many boyfriends so she could once again be available. She had only one target in mind this time. After checking to make sure she looked as good as she could possibly be, she had gone on a search for Yami, the new kid at Domino High. She was sure she could get anyone she wanted because she was, in her mind's eye, irresistible. (A/N: *pukes* Ugh... Sorry to all Anzu fans. I know she's not like this really, but if she was nice and stuff, you wouldn't get as much satisfaction when something bad happens to her. So this is a very un-Anzu like Anzu, okay?)

She may have been nasty, arrogant, and disgusting, but she wasn't stupid. She knew to look for a crowd of rabid fangirls but, unfortunately, she found none. Then it hit her. Maybe Yami was in the courtyard. 'Yeah, that's it. No need to worry, though. I definitely won't have any competition. I'd be a stand out from the crowd. When I come into the picture, he's sure to go gaga over me, just like all the others did,' she rubbed her hands gleefully with an evil smirk on her face. 'Goody.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yami and Yugi were running across the football fields, both sweatdropping, as they were being chased by a mob of girls. They were all after Yami, but Yugi didn't want to leave his friend alone to deal with the problem when it wasn't even his fault. Yami couldn't help it if he was so good-looking, could he? He just liked leather, that's all. The two had just sat down under a large cherry blossom tree and got ready to eat when a swarm of people headed their way. It was pure chaos so they had no choice but to run. Yugi felt himself losing air and fast. He wasn't used to running for this long. He had never been a very athletic person either. Finally he gave in to his fatigue and collapsed onto the grass.

"Yugi!" Yami cried, rushing to his side. Beads of sweat were on the fallen boy's forehead and he was panting hard. He must have overheated himself in the hot sun. Yami turned back to the crowd, enraged. "What's wrong with you people?!" he yelled, exasperated.

"Look! He talked!" was all he got as a reply from one of the girls. They only moved closer, causing fear to form for the first time within him. He had put his school jacket on, but it still didn't keep them away. They simply tore at the fabric material, trying to pull it off. Yami tried his best to withstand it for he couldn't possibly abandon Yugi.

At this moment, Anzu finally arrived. She had been running a few yards behind the mob, tailing them for a long time before she caught up. Putting her nose high up in the air, she tried to make a grand entrance. No one acknowledged her, though. The pushing and shoving within the crowd caused her to rocket around like a ping pong ball before she was finally kicked out completely smack into a tree trunk. She gasped, never having been treated like that before. Deciding that now was not the best time to make a move, she fixed her hair and slinked away, already beginning to plot for next time.

Yami really was having a hard time keeping things under control. Sure, he could fight well, but he was outnumbered by maybe a hundred people. There was also no way violence was allowed on school grounds. "What do you want from me?" he demanded. Replies of "Take off your shirt!" and such sounded throughout the group of fangirls. He sighed, truly frustrated. 'This is why I used to go to a private school,' he mentally chided. "Look, if you don't calm down and stay at least three feet away, I'll just transfer out of this school back to where I used to go and never come back again."

This really did the trick. The girls all looked disappointed, like a puppy who wanted a dog treat but couldn't get any, and backed away slowly. 'Finally,' Yami thought. He took a second to breathe then turned around to reassure Yugi that everything was okay. Surprisingly, Yugi was not where he lay a few minutes ago.

"Yugi?" Yami asked, voice turning panicky. "YUGI!!"

Wow, I can't believe I actually wrote a cliffhanger!

Yami: *sarcastically* Congratulations.

Yup, that was my first one! I'm so happy! Anyway, it's 10:30 and I've got to sleep, so there's a cliffhanger for you people to enjoy. And I told you already that there would be a little bit of Anzu bashing. How was it? On a scale from 1 to 10?

Oh, and sorry there wasn't much fluff in this chapter. I don't know what's going on with me. I guess I wasn't in fluff mood.

One more thing. I'm in the mood to include other characters in this story as well. You can choose from almost anyone from Yu-Gi-Oh, but it'll be kind of hard to include Isis and Rishid. Malik, as you already know, is a transfer student. Please review and suggest which other characters you want in this fic. I think I'm going to include Jounouchi. The others are all up to you!

Please r/r and remember to tell me which characters you want to be in this fic!
