Chibi: Helloo!! I'm back with chapter 4. It's something of a filler chapter, because I needed to show that Yami grew up and that he has friends and what more?? Oh right, that he has enemies!! XD, not really cause he can handle them easily, but I think that this chapter is worked out more then in 'Black and White Roses'. In this chapter some things are the same, but not all things.
I also didn't knew how a clock would sound... but that is the ding-dong part. My grandmother's clock makes this sound and I like it a lot!! :)
I hope you still like the chapter, even though I think it's sometimes too boring. Oh, I do love Seto's comment.. You'll read!! haha XD And the chapter exists out of two pieces, Yami's past and what his life is like now.. and lunchbreak in which we meet other friends of the gang!!
Have fun with:
Chapter 4,
The gang and Me
--
Ding-dong, ding-dong
The gates closed behind him and the clock in the tower dinged when it was half past eight. The sun shone brightly and Yami walked on. He was almost eighteen, but still small for his age. Still, he was a good young man to see. A lithe and slim body, well-proportioned muscles and a very nice tanned skin. His face was sharp and he had high cheekbones. He still had the same hair, blond bangs framing his face and up his hair. He still had a crown of black hair; tipped in crimson.
Just like his beautiful eyes. His eyes had narrowed, but they still bore that beautiful crimson colour. The eye-colour made him 'famous' on school. Just like his temper and his hair. Yami smiled though when he saw his friends coming over to him. A blond, named Jonouchi and Jonouchi's lover: Seto, a brunette and slightly older then they were.
The blonde had friendly, caring and pretty honeybrown eyes. They shone in the daylight sun, and even now, they still shone with sleep as well. And indeed, the blonde yawned, but he swung an arm around Yami's shoulder and leaned upon the smaller male. Seto laughed, his ice-blue eyes were light, but also dangerous and demanding. Seto was Yami's cousin, because Yami was adopted by Akunamkanon and he was the uncle of Seto. Having mercy upon Yami, Seto released the crimson-eyed teen from his heavier boyfriend; still chuckling softly.
"Come, love. School's starting", Seto said and he pecked Jonouchi's cheek without anyone seeing it. Yami chuckled softly, because he had seen. He still found it wise not to tell the whole world about their relationship, although few others knew. The gang, for example. Yami, Seto and more friends were called 'the gang' at school and even Akunamkanon had taken up the word.
Suddenly, someone pushed him from behind, murmuring something in his ear. Yami balanced himself on his own two feet again and looked at the guy who passed him and he snorted.
"What's up, Yashimori-kun?? Had no fun in teasing kids of your own height?", Yami asked. The guy turned around. He was in fact a handsome young man, a normal skin-colour and stunning green eyes. His hair was clean and he wore the schooluniform as it was suppossed to be. Neat shoes and he was smaller than Seto. And he was an arrogant ass, which made him a total different story.
"I think, Mutô-kun", Yashimori said and he chuckled. Yami faced him.
"Maybe you should think about yourself before calling somebody else names", Yami said and then passed him. Yashimori snorted.
"Smart comment, uke", the teen retorted.
"Look in the mirror", was Jonouchi's reply. The three of them walked passed by him. Yami knew it was a bad idea from Jonouchi to say something back again, but then again, they always did. Yashimori would start and they would give a comment. Sometimes Yami would beat the crap out of that brat, like in the kindergarten.
And indeed. Yashimori did pull Jonouchi back to hit the blonde against his cheek. Jonouchi did pull his head away, but Yashimori's fist did leave a mark. Within seconds, Yami had taken revenge. His fist had nicely connected against the teen's jaw and while Jonouchi was taken care of by Seto, Yashimori lay sprawled on the floor, his 'friends' backing him up.
"That was quick", Jonouchi commented and Seto chuckled. He took Yami's shoulder in his hand, but Yami didn't look at him. Even on the floor, Yashimori was giving him a headache. Seto pulled the crimson-eyed teen back at his arm and Yami followed.
"Thank you", he said in Yami's ear and Yami smiled sweetly.
"Afraid, Mutô!?", Yashimori yelled. Seto turned around.
"Stick your fear and these baboons somewhere, where the sun doesn't shine, ass!", he called out. For a moment it was silent and everyone looked at Yashimori, chuckling or giggling. Jonouchi took Seto with him into an empty toiletroom to kiss the guy senseless. Yami waited outside, the mirror was too tempting to hit. When Jonouchi and Seto emerged back, they could practically see the steam coming out of Yami's ears.
"You okay, buddy??", Jonouchi asked. Yami turned to look at them and nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine. You?", Yami asked back, refering to the scratch on Jonouchi's cheek. It had stopped bleeding, but it was still red. Jonouchi grinned.
"I'm perfectly fine! So, what've you done in the weekend, huh??", Jonouchi asked, while they walked over to their first class together. There they sat down, Yami in the back. The teacher had placed him there, because he wouldn't pay attention anyway. And because the teacher was afraid of his temper. Yashimori came in as well, a nice bruise forming on his jaw.
Yami and the other teen had always been rivals. It had started in kindergarten, where Yashimori had called him a bad kid. Yami had beaten the crap out of him as a five-year-old. They had gone to the same school, had even been in the same classes sometimes, but Yashimori never changed. He always picked on him and why, Yami didn't knew. Yami could remember him having detention for fighting back. And he remembered the rumour Yashimori had spread during his third year at school. They had been in the same class again, just like now while they sat in the fourth, but the rumour had been that Akunamkanon had used Yami… In a not so friendly way. His friends had supported Yami, while he got several questions as if it was true. Even the school's headmaster had talked to him, asking if the rumours were true.
Yashimori had been in hospital for three weeks, or in fact: two days… The rest of the time he had feared to come back to school. Yami had gotten revenge and detention.
The teacher walked in and they bowed towards him. The lesson started, but Yami only opened his book to find a piece of paper. With his pencil's he started to draw.

The bell had rung for lunchbreak and Jonouchi sat down on a bench in the park behind the school. The sakura tree's were blossoming, but Seto whiped the leaves off the table before they placed their meals down. Jonouchi sat down next to his lover and started eating, while Seto sat down next to him very closely. Jonouchi smiled, they had been dating for a year now and he was glad that Seto was in his live. It made everything different and better.
He saw Yami sitting down at the base of one Sakura tree. Sometimes Yami would come to sit with them, but sometimes he sat down there. With a paper in his hands and zoning out, barely eating. Jonouchi watched for a moment and sighed softly.
'What is he thinking, right now?? About his dreams? Anything else?? Revenge?? Or love??', Jonouchi wondered, before something like a spark shot up his spine and he groaned softly. A hand lay on his upper leg and Seto was smirking.
"Our relationship was secret, right??", Jonouchi asked and he touched the warm hand on his leg under the table. Seto nodded and chuckled.
"True, but… I want your attention on me, puppy. Or else I get jealous", Seto stated. Jonouchi grinned.
"Tonight, lover. Tonight", he whispered and Seto's hot breath tickled his ear while the hand left his leg. He did keep smirking though and Seto marveled about how few people knew about them. In Seto's eyes it were already too much, but it were only a few. And those few just sat down at the table. Two albino's sat down. The gang was a little bit bigger then just the five of them. In fact, there were also two Egyptians, but they weren't at their school. For different reasons (one concluded the chemistry lab).
"Hey guys! You okay?", Jonouchi asked and one albino smiled sweetly. His chocolate brown eyes were friendly and sweet, like real chocolate. His skin was pale and his white hair a little bit spikey. And while the younger albino smiled, his eyes twinkled. Next to him sat another albino, who had something mischievous with his sharp features and his white, spikey hair. Not as spikey as Yami's, but spikey enough. And then his eyes, they were haunting and a beautiful redbrown colour.
"I'm fine, thank you for asking, Jonouchi", the smaller one said and then gasped softly. He softly hit the older albino on his shoulder and whined in his ear. For Jonouchi and Seto it sounded like: "Bakura! Not now!!". That said enough, Bakura was as horny as hell. Seto laughed and Bakura glared at him. It made Seto laugh even louder.
"'Kura, stop it", the other said. He used the older one's nickname. Jonouch chuckled and the glare was turned to him.
"So, how's life been treating you?", the smaller albino asked. Seto nodded.
"Good, very good Ryou. What about you?", the brunette asked. Ryou sighed softly when he looked passed his lover Bakura to the one who sat under the sakura tree. Bakura sighed softly and tried a pout, just to get his lover's attention back. Ryou and him were already lovers for a year and a half, that was long, but in Bakura's eyes, not long enough. Ryou looked at him and softly kissed the older albino.
"I'm fine. And Bakura is too. Still, I'm worried about Yami. He's at it again, isn't he??", Ryou asked softly. Seto looked at Yami as well. There was a soft breeze and petals fell down. It was like Yami stood in a different world then school. Bakura shrugged, he did mind, but not on the outside. Deep, very deep inside, he loved his friends, all of them.
"So, what happened??", Bakura asked, for the first time, speaking up.
"Yashimori whispered something in his ear and he tried to hit my puppy. Yami took revenge and now he's sitting under the tree", Seto said and he saw Jonouchi rub his cheek.
"What did Yashimori say??", Ryou asked, but deep in his heart, he already knew.
"What he says everytime agian. And the results are the same, he gets beaten to pulp", Jonouchi answered the smaller albino's question. Bakura huffed.
"Dirty bitch. Just because his own father is dirty and does do everything the dearest Gods in Egypt don't allow… Doesn't mean that Pa is that way", Bakura said and out of pure frustrations he stuffed a sandwhich in his mouth. Angrily he fumed and cursed in Egyptian, for Bakura was Egyptian. Ryou softly patted Bakura's hand and sighed also.
"I just feel sorry for him when he sits there, all alone. He needs love", Ryou whispered softly. Ryou knew that Yami held onto his dreams and maybe a little bit too much. But then again, he liked Yami the way the guy was… He just found it sad to see the guy alone.
"We'll keep an eye on him", a sudden voice said behind him and he turned around to look into violet eyes and a tanned skin, just like Bakura's and Yami's. Behind him stood a replica of the violet eyed teenager. Only like Bakura, this one also had something dark around him. With a grin, the spikier haired one looked at Bakura.
"How did you get in??", Bakura asked, grinnin as well and shaking hands with both Egyptians. The tanned skin made everything clear.
"Well… Let's just say the fence is no opportunity to keep people in or outside anymore," the dark one said with a mischievous grin. Bakura laughed together with Jounouchi and the 'innocent' one.
"Malik, Marik… When did you get here?? I really missed the two of you", Ryou said and the 'innocent' one laughed.
"Well, let's just say that a night ago we traveled from Egypt to Japan. We missed you guys and couldn't leave you guys alone in this big world," Malik said. He was the more innocent one, although not as much as Ryou. Ryou was soft, caring, and cute. Malik was destructive, caring only about himself and Marik and cute, in some ways. Especially when he just destroyed something. Marik looked at Seto and Jonouchi.
"Well? Have you already told the whole world yet or has the news not been spread to Egypt yet??", he asked. The dark one laughed when Seto glared at him.
"Shut it", Seto answered back. Sometimes there was an end to his patience with the destructive Egyptians. And especially when they were talking too loud about the relationship he had with Jonouchi.
"Okay, easy", Marik said with a wide grin. They all chattered along, until the bell rang for them all to come inside again. Marik began teasing them with the fact he didn't needed to go to school anymore. Just like Malik and Jonouchi had the great urge to get them in and to the chemistry lab once again. It would be lovely to have a day off again.
