Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chapter SixSeto growled when he saw Yami grab Ryou. How the hell did Yami and Ryou become so close? Didn't Yami hate his whole group? It didn't make any sense. But of course it also didn't matter. Seto would keep his word about not letting Ryou touch what was his. Then realization hit…he was jealous! How did that happen? Yami was just some common street rat who needed to be put in his place. There was no way Seto would ever care about Yami. Absolutely none. Yami was only someone he needed to get out of the way.
"You are no longer part of the 4 Kings, Bakura!" Seto screamed. He stormed away with a confused Ryou looked after him.
Yami pulled off his helmet and looked at Ryou. Had he heard Seto correctly? A wave of guilt swept over him as he shifted his gaze from the white haired teen to the brunet. He got off his scooter and stood beside Ryou.
"Ryou?" he called.
Ryou turned and offered a small smile to Yami. "He left you alone," Ryou said. He sighed and made his way back to his rock. He sat down and leaned against it, the wind whipping white strands around his head.
Yami walked behind Ryou not daring to say anything. What could he say? He had just gotten a member of the 4 Kings kicked out of the group. Yami shook his head slightly and stood beside Ryou. He looked down at the white haired teen, who just continued to look out to the ocean.
Yami hung his head a little, knowing Ryou was thinking about what Seto had said. He clenched his fists tightly as he thought about how unreasonable Seto was. Slowly, crystalline tears made their way down Yami's face, leaving two salty streaks. It was all his fault that Ryou was put into this situation.
"I'm sorry," Yami whispered, not sure if Ryou could hear him over the wind.
Ryou heard a faint murmur and looked up at Yami. Chocolate brown eyes widened when he saw Yami's bent head and a drop of water falling onto the sand. He quickly stood up and placed his hand on Yami's chin, lifting the other's face. Watery crimson orbs stared up at him.
Yami felt Ryou lift his chin up, forcing him to look into warm brown eyes. He saw no hint of anger or being upset but it didn't mean Ryou wasn't feeling those emotions right now. The drops came faster as he continued to look up at Ryou. "I'm sorry," he said again. "I didn't mean to…"
Suddenly, Ryou pulled the smaller teen to him and wrapped his arm around the thin frame. He held Yami in his arms, silently consoling him. Yami's eyes widened as he stood in Ryou's arms. He seemed shocked for a bit that Ryou would do this.
"There's nothing to apologize for," Ryou whispered.
"B-But Kaiba…" Yami stuttered.
"It's okay," Ryou soothed. "It doesn't matter."
Yami shook his head. He had to make it right again, even if that meant approaching Seto willingly. He could correct the mistake he made.
-----------------------
Yami woke up at the sound of the generator sputtering. He sat up groggily and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked to the old clock perched on his desk to check the time. It was 7:45 and Yami needed to get to class by 8:15 and it was about a twenty-minute ride to school. Cursing under his breath, Yami scrambled out of bed and quickly ran to the tiny bathroom to quickly brush his teeth and work a brush into his tangled hair.
Grunting as he pulled the brush through his gravity-defying mane, Yami tried to tame his hair. Running from the bathroom, he quickly pulled on his school uniform, hastily buttoning the buttons of his jacket before grabbing his bag and stuffing everything inside. He checked the clock again. 7:55.
"Damn it," Yami mumbled.
He threw open the door and rushed out of his apartment, slamming the door behind him. He quickly stuffed his head into the helmet and mounted the scooter. He turned the vehicle onto the road and sped towards the school, hoping he wasn't late.
Yami finally got to the school and pulled the helmet from his head and ran to the main building. He burst into his classroom, panting hard. "I'm…here…" he wheezed out. Honda looked at him and smiled.
"Nice Yami," he said. "You beat the teacher."
Yami nodded and went to sit down at his desk, wiping the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead. He rested for a moment before remembering that he had to talk to Seto. Grimacing a little at the thought of approaching the other, Yami remembered that he was doing this for Ryou. Standing up again, Yami looked to Honda.
"Cover for me," he said.
"Where're you going?" Honda asked. "Class is about to start."
"I have something I need to do," Yami said. "Thanks Honda." He rushed back out of the classroom to go find Seto.
"Oi, what am I supposed to tell the teacher?" Honda called after him. Shaking his head, Honda looked around for ideas.
Yami walked briskly down the halls towards the other end of the school. He peeked into various classes trying to look for the now familiar brown-haired and blue-eyed guy. He checked into all the classes, starting from the end of the hallway without any luck. Sighing with frustration, Yami was about to go back to his class when he spotted the 4 Kings walking towards him. He looked to the group and noticed Ryou was missing. He narrowed his eyes before walking towards them.
Seto's own blue eyes narrowed as Yami approached. "What the hell do you want?" he spat.
Yami took a deep breath before answering. "I need to talk to you," he said calmly.
"Get lost," Seto said. "I don't have time to waste with you."
"It'll only take a couple minutes of your oh-so precious time," Yami said firmly.
"I've got things to do, street rat," Seto snarled.
"Not right now," Yami retorted.
Seto sighed and waved the other two to get to class. "I'll be there later," he said.
"You sure Kaiba?" Otogi asked, looking at Yami suspiciously. He wasn't sure if Yami would pull another punch when he and Marik weren't there. Not that Seto couldn't protect himself but it made him feel better when he got to beat people up a little.
"I won't repeat myself," Kaiba said.
Marik and Otogi shrugged as they walked past Yami and into their classroom. Yami turned to watch them head inside before turning his attention back on Seto. He nodded his appreciation before walking towards the exit behind Seto.
"Where the hell are you going?" Seto asked. "You wanted to talk, so talk."
"Not here," Yami answered simply. He pushed open the door and walked outside, not looking back to the other teen.
Seto growled and reluctantly followed Yami outside. Leaning against the wall, Seto crossed his arms, tapping his foot impatiently. "Well?" he growled. "I don't have all day."
Yami turned to face Seto. "Reinstate Ryou into the 4 Kings," Yami said. He did not want to waste time beating around the bush. Either Seto would agree or he wouldn't.
"You must be joking," Seto said. "Why the hell would I do that?"
"You can't kick him out because of yesterday," Yami said.
"Don't tell me what I can and can't do," Seto growled. "No one does and there's no way I'm listening to a rat like you."
Yami narrowed his eyes at Seto's stubbornness. "Why the hell not?" he asked.
"I don't need to explain myself to the likes of you," Seto snarled, uncrossing his arms. He pushed himself off the wall and started to walk back to the school. "Is that all you wanted to talk about?"
Yami walked to Seto, standing next to the blue-eyed teen and staring up at him. "You have to," he said. "It's my fault. If you're mad at someone then be mad at me. Ryou hasn't done anything to be kicked off the 4 Kings."
"The hell he didn't!" Seto shouted suddenly, making Yami jump a little. "He touched what was mine when I specifically told him not to. He clearly disobeyed me and I do not tolerate disobedience."
"You jackass!" Yami screamed. "You don't do that to your own friends!"
"What about friends trying to steal what's yours?" Seto asked. "Is that acceptable?"
"I'm not yours!" Yami shouted. He took a deep breath to calm himself. He wouldn't convince Seto to allow Ryou back if he was screaming at him. "Look Kaiba, Ryou didn't do anything. There isn't any reason for you to kick him out."
"Give me one good reason why I should listen to you," Seto said, crossing his arms again.
Yami thought for a moment. "I won't challenge you as much," he said, knowing how much Seto wanted him to be a little less…rebellious.
Seto raised an eyebrow. Was Yami being serious? He cared enough for Ryou that he would swallow some of his pride just to get the white haired teen back into the 4 Kings? Seto thought for a moment, "Fine," he said. "Under a few conditions."
"Name them," Yami said. He was so close to getting Ryou reinstated.
"First, you will refer to me as 'Master'," Seto said with a smirk.
