Chapter 3: A friend in need is a friend indeed


Yugi is running in the school corridor. He hopes to reach to the restroom soon. Yugi is wondering to know the truth and he also wanted to talk to his other self. 10 minutes later Yugi arrived at the boy's restroom. Apparently there is no student around the restroom. Yugi hastily took out the mirror and Yami Yugi showed up in the mirror.

"Atem… I mean… My other self. Hi again!" Yugi smiled.

"Yeah right." Yami Yugi replied. "What's up partner?" Yami Yugi smiled back.

"What are you up to?" Yugi said. "Well, I mean… why are you in this mirror? And why did you get to my life again? How come you here with me again? And…" Yugi asked with a curious face.

"Don't you like that I'm with you again?" Yami Yugi said. "Well… where should I start? How should I put it into words…?" Yami Yugi confused, because he have many things to say.

"I think you need some more time to put it into words. Then I will give you some more time. Tell me about it after school ok?" Yugi said.

"Why not now?" Yami Yugi asked.

"Words are imperfect. If you put it into words without thinking or so fast at it, it will only make misunderstandings." Yugi answered.

"Ok." Yami Yugi agreed. "I thought you're willingly to know what happen…" Yami Yugi said with curious face.

"I'd rather to know about it later rather than I got misunderstand." Yugi Mutou said and blinked.

"Heh… you've changed. I'm glad you grown up like that all this time." Yami Yugi said. He proud of his other self's personality.

"I often become patient these days. You didn't realize it?" Yugi Mutou eyebrow's furrowed.

"I didn't." Yami Yugi shook his head.

Yugi Mutou sighed "Maybe I'm not good at making friends at all. No one has ever realized that I've changed a lot." Yugi said.

"Whoa… cheer up partner. At least I realized just now. And I'm sure your friends are loyal and kind like the way they are before. They will be your friends until you're die." Yami Yugi tried to cheer Yugi Mutou.

"Yeah, thanks. Wait, talking about death… my grandpa is dead." Yugi rolled his eyes. "Did you know? He asked.

"Yeah, I know. I feel sorry for you." Yami Yugi said.

"You know about it? How come?" Yugi Mutou a bit shocked.

"Didn't you want me to explain it to you later, before? Honestly, it's a hard story to tell. Your face is so damn curious as if you're thinking that I'm beating around the bush." Yami Yugi sweat dropped.

"Oh yeah… hehe… then see you later, my other self, because I'm very hungry right now." Yugi Mutou touched his stomach that's growling already.

"See you later then. Watch your steps. And remember that your friends are loyal and kind." Yami Yugi advised to his other self.

Yugi went to the cafeteria again for the second time. Anzu isn't there, only Honda, Ryo and Jounouchi that were eating their breakfast at the cafeteria. When Yugi took his ration foods the other students that lined up behind Yugi were pushing their body to front and backwards. In the end, they bumped to Yugi and Yugi bumped to the person that stood in front of him. Yugi is so unlucky that he bumped the tall and big guy in front of him.

It was Ushio, the one that had punch and kick Jounouchi and Honda. He also happens to be Yugi's bodyguard. But Yugi don't want him to be his bodyguard and don't want his friends to get punch and kick. And until now, Yami Yugi or Yugi Mutou didn't pay him for being his bodyguard. Yugi Mutou is very sure that Ushio is super mad at him. 'This is an unluckiest thing in my life' Yugi thought.

Ushio turned his head and saw his uniform got dirty because of Yugi's foods that bumped to his uniform. Ushio got angry and Yugi had a pale face. Yugi gripped at Yugi's collar and lifted him up. Everybody only can watch because they all scared of Ushio.

"Are you blind? Didn't you know this uniform is expensive that yours? You son of—" Before Ushio can finish his words, Jounouchi hastily punched him to the floor.

"Don't you dare to punch, kick or speak bad words to my best friend!" Jounouchi shouted and grabbed Yugi to the place where Jounouchi, Honda and Ryo seat. Ushio lost words and glared at Yugi, then he suddenly left the cafeteria.

"That Ushio guy never learns his lessons, right?" Honda commented.

"Yeah. You better watch out from him Yugi. He might want to get revenge or something." Ryo said.

"Umm… thanks Jounouchi, thanks for your advice Bakura." Yugi smiled. Jounouchi and Ryo replied 'you're welcome'

"Hey! What about me? I'm the one who ordered Jounouchi to save you, Yugi!" Honda protested.

"Yeah, but you don't have any reactions at all." Jounouchi said, everyone except Honda laughed.

"Ok. Then, thank you very much Mr. Honda. If not because of you, I must've been punch." Yugi said, he is joking around.

"Oh yeah… here I give you my fried chicken and the rice for you." Jounouchi said.

"Oh, thanks Jounouchi. But I'm not really hungry after all." Yugi said.

"You can get sick if you don't eat Yugi." Ryo advised. "This ice cream and mineral water for you too, Yugi." Ryo gave them to Yugi. And Yugi replied with thanks.

"And since Honda finished his lunch, he can't share his food to Yugi, that's not called best friend, right Jounouchi?" Ryo whispered.

"I hear that! Fine, fine, I will treat Yugi with some more delicious foods!" Honda walked to the foods places. Everyone sweat dropped.

"Well, if you don't have enough money, don't push yourself Honda." Yugi said.

Honda face become pale seeing that his money only 800 yen. "Don't worry, I will treat you something." Honda winked.

"Thanks guys!" Yugi got happy and smiled.

"Honda is easy to manipulate." Ryo whispered.

"Yeah, haha…" Jounouchi said. And then, Honda got back and brought so many foods.

"What the-?" Yugi shocked. "This is too many foods, Honda!" Yugi said.

"Just take it!" Honda ordered.

'But the problem is that I don't think I'll finish these foods early' Yugi thought.

Afterwards the bell rang and Yugi is still eating. Jounouchi and the others told Yugi to eat it slowly because they will wait for him, even if the bell rang. Yugi realized that he has many kind and loyal friends.

In the end… Yugi, Jounouchi, Honda, Ryo and Anzu ended up standing in front of the class because they can't join the class since the teachers didn't allow them to. The teachers got angry because they arrived to the class late.

"This is what happens if we don't obey the rules." Ryo sighed.

"Sorry about that, guys." Yugi said while scratching over his head.

"See? This is what happens when you got close to Jounouchi, Yugi…" Honda blamed Jounouchi.

"What did you say? I dare you to say that again!" Jounouchi shouted at Honda. Jounouchi's voice is in high volume and it's even make the teachers reply to him with shout that is "SHUT UP!"

"By the way Anzu, why did you get punished by the teacher too?" Jounouchi asked.

"Because… well, after all I trapped in the girls rest room. But the other girls didn't help me, because they were playing prank on me." Anzu said while blushing.

Seto Kaiba that was in the class gets permission from the teacher to go to restroom. When Kaiba opened the class door… he saw Yugi and the others stood up and lined up in front of the class.

"Hahaha!" Kaiba laughed. "You shouldn't have disobeyed the rules, you know." Kaiba advised Yugi and the others. "Especially for this 'stupid losing dog'. He is so clumsy." Kaiba pointed at Jounouchi.

When Kaiba passed them…

"Damn you, Kaiba!" Jounouchi said. Honda is holding Jounouchi's hands so he won't run after Kaiba and punch him.

"Be patient, Jounouchi." Honda said.

"Like hell, I will forgive that guy, with his big mouth!" Jounouchi said.

"He might be a big mouth, but you're a loud mouth, Jounouchi." Anzu said.

"Then I will let my fist to do the talk!" Jounouchi said.

"But that will make you broke some more rules!" Ryo said. Jounouchi suddenly lost his anger and became religious. Anzu vomit in a plastic that she brought, when seeing Jounouchi became religious. Yugi and the others laughed out loud when seeing Jounouchi like that. And once again the teacher shout "SHUT UP!" And the teacher have been wondering why Yugi and the others laughed when they were punished.
