Disclaimer: I am not a manga-ka. Therefore, there is no possibility I could own the show.
Random talk: I just want to get the rules of names down. When I use people's band names, that means they are in costume. If I use their normal names, it means they are just hanging out, not dressed up. Kinda like what I've been doing with Kaiba and Angel.
Thursday February 26
Honda started to fidget in his seat. It was obvious that he was nervous. He kept looking up at the door as if he was waiting for someone. In fact, he was waiting.
"What if he doesn't show?" Honda asked. "I mean, he did promise to get something Otogi would like…"
"Relax," Anzu said. "Kaiba will pull through. But he might be upset that Jonouchi isn't here today…"
"Hope he feels better tomorrow," Yuugi said. "I called up Kaiba-kun before we left to let him know Jonouchi-kun was sick today. Maybe he stopped by his apartment to drop off his gift for him."
"That wasn't smart," Honda said. "You two remember how it was. Not the nicest places to see."
"Actually, it was fairly clean," Kaiba's voice came from behind. "Here's the gift for Otogi."
"Wait, no beer bottles?" Anzu asked.
"No. Looks like his father went to some kind of group therapy for alcoholics. Seems like a pleasant guy. Before you ask anything, you guys really need to keep it down. I'm surprised the school hasn't taken action by the way he talked about his father's drinking problems."
"Ah…" Yuugi-tachi said in unison.
"I'll see you losers later." Kaiba said, smirking. Students started to file in, explaining Kaiba's sudden change of attitude. Instead of leaving school, he headed for his desk.
"Looks like they're not practicing today," Yuugi said.
"Maybe," Anzu said.
"Hey, I heard that there are four new students today!" a female student said.
"Yeah!" her friend yelled. "I saw one of them! He looked like Siren from No Choice!"
"Really?" a third girl asked. "Then that was Demona and Biyako I saw!"
"And we can't forget Kiba!" the first girl said. "I knew it couldn't be Angel since everyone knows he's home schooled just to get away from all his bad fan girls… It's a shame…"
"What, that he's gay or that he's not coming to our school?"
"Both!"
"Well," Honda whispered, "looks like we just found the reason as to why there is no practice."
"Class, settle down!" the teacher yelled as she walked in. "Surprisingly, we have four new students today. And since this class is the only one that isn't packed completely, they get to join us. I'm sure many of you know them, so I'll let them introduce themselves however they want to."
The four other members of No Choice walked in, dressed in the proper school uniform. It was strange seeing them dress as normal teens. The only one that was hard to recognize was Demona. She had her hair was down, and her eyes weren't violet, but brown.
"Hello!" Siren said. "I'm sure many of you know us from No Choice and all. I'm Yamamoto Ryu, also known as Siren. This here is my girl Fujima Kiku, or Demona. Mess with her, and you're dead. Over there is Walker Ryan and Shiroka Kohaku, Kiba and Biyako respectively. Please, we're just here to go to school."
"Meaning," Ryan said, "please treat us like normal teens."
"It would ruin the whole idea on going to a normal school!" Kohaku said.
"And I'm sure you guys don't want to lose your bragging rights," Kiku said, giving the class a wink.
"Now that's settled," the teacher said, "Find wherever there is a spot. We do have someone absent today. So, please don't sit in front of Mouto-san."
"Right!" Ryu said. "Who's Mouto-san?"
Lunchtime came by quickly, just as word about No Choice attending school there. The only place the band could eat in peace was on the roof. Yuugi-tachi was lucky enough to join them without being noticed.
"You should have seen their faces!" Ryu said, laughing. He leaned on his cousin for support.
"I have an idea what it looked like," Kaiba said, smirking. "I still can't believe you forgot Yuugi's last name."
"You know I have a problem putting faces to names. I'm just glad I have something to call them!"
"I bet you guys were wondering why Seto-chan was at school today," Kiku asked Yuugi-tachi. "Well, this is why. He wanted to make sure we didn't do anything stupid. And we didn't. Well, except for Ryu…"
"And I'm very proud of you guys. Hey, Yuugi. Could you stop by and see how Jonouchi is doing after school? I hope Ryan's idea of giving him that Red Eyes action figure was a good one…"
"Hey, you liked the Blue Eyes one I gave you for your birthday!" Ryan retaliated.
"That's because Kaiba's obsessed with that dragon!" Honda said.
"It's true!" Ryu said. "He even paints it in his spare time!"
"You paint?" Yuugi asked.
"Well, it's more of a hobby," Kaiba said. "And that's your question for the day."
"Hey, no fair!"
"Who said life was fair? Now, Honda, tell us what happened with Otogi?"
"Well," Honda started out. He sighed, looking depressed. "Nothing happened. I tried your tactic, and it failed miserably. He thought it was from some fan girl and just tossed it into his bag."
"Honda!" Anzu yelled. "This is Otogi we are talking about, not Jonouchi! Jonouchi doesn't have fan girls! Of course Otogi wouldn't think much about it!"
"Well, there is always Monday," Kaiba said. "I have a business meeting tomorrow, so I won't be able to help you out."
"There's always the concert," Kohaku said. "I noticed Otogi's name on the list of VIPs the other day."
"Great," Kaiba muttered. "Just what I needed. Him hitting on me when I'm most vulnerable. He knows how to push all my buttons when I'm Angel!"
"Is it just me or is he ranting more like Angel?" Kiku asked.
"He's ranting," Honda said. "That can't be a good sign."
"Oh, but it is!" Ryu said. "Remember we are trying to bring Angel and Kaiba back to one. All in the name of love!"

Random talk: Yay, I actually came up with a good plot twist for this story! Now school time is going to get more interesting!
Guess what guys. This fic is offically my most reviewed and alerted fics! I have at this time 38 reviews and 13 story alerts! Thank you so much!
Tie-dyed Trickster: Inu means dog, yarou means bastard, and gaki means brat. Well, we have to have someone freak out that Kaiba was Angel. Plus it gives us someone to laugh at... (Sorry Honda fans if there are any reading!) Try much later in the fic. ((smiles))
journey maker: Seems like a lot of people also like that scene where Seto chaces Mokuba... I have to admit, I love that scene too!
cheeky-eyes: Well, there is no need to have anymore codenames... But we'll see how I feel later on. I've been playing with an idea to do a sequel... (Dear kami-sama, help me! I keep doing this to myself! Stupid overactive imagination...)
Mika: I have that influence on people. Heck, I managed to get one of my friends to like puppyshipping because she was my beta for several of my fics! I didn't like to write Honda in the begining, but as I wrote more fics, it became funner to write him! The band is pwn awesom! If they were real, I would be hanging out with Demona working on costumes, trying to learn cooking from Biyako, glomp Siren whenever I can, make Kiba model outfits, and lock Angel in a room full of my Kaiba related stuff until I manage to find Jonouchi... ((sweatdrop))
PlAiN-ahsie-SiMpLe: The shortness of the chapters is due to minnor writers block in some chapters. It also give me some amusement in seeing you guy's reaction. But there will be longer chapters! (I'm working on the second to last chapter as we speak. That thing is going to be about five pages long!)
