Ooh, you wonderful wonderful people. Every time I get a review on this fic
I just wanna go 'ooh, you love me, you really love me!' It makes me happy,
'cause my muses hate me.
Ahem, yes well. . .I STILL LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!! And I'm sorry for the 'story not found' business, I still haven't gotten a reply yet, probably never will.
the disclaimer: Don't own it.
Warnings: Tea. Fire drill, a little Yami Bakura angst, and um. . .and that's probably it.
Part Twenty Six Cooking Class
Yami sighed as he listened to his hikari's math teacher talk on and on about nothing. The hour was almost up and the pharaoh was counting down the minutes. Oh well, he got to spend time with Yugi, which was all that counted (even though he could think of a lot of other things he'd rather be doing). And Yugi had mentioned that his next class was Cooking Class, and the spirit was getting hungry.
Since he was bored, his mind wandered to the others. Tristan and Tea were in the class with him and they looked as though they were zoning out as well. Joey, Kaiba and Ryou all had gym class, which meant Mokuba, Malik, Marik and Yami Bakura were there as well.
At least the school hadn't burned down yet.
BZZZZZZ!!
A loud buzzing sound awoke the pharaoh and he looked up to see everyone getting up. The annoying teacher was speaking, "Now, please remain calm. This fire alarm is probably just a drill." He said as he ushered everyone out.
Hmm. Seems that Yami spoke too soon.
"Come on Yami, I'll show you where to go." Yugi smiled as he grabbed his 'brother's' hand. Warmth filled the spirit's body as he followed his light, holding his hand firmly. If this wasn't a drill, then Yugi would have to be protected. They walked along with the people until they made it outside. "Hey Yami, can I get on your shoulders?" He wondered innocently, batting big eyes at him.
/At least they don't take up half of his face./ Yami reminded himself internally as he lifted his aibou up onto his shoulders. Yugi immediately began to scan the crowd until he saw Kaiba's head. He waited until his teacher had taken attendance before telling Yami to head in the direction that Yugi pointed to.
They found their friends in no time at all. "Hey guys! Do you know who started the fire alarm?" Yugi asked as he noticed Kaiba holding Joey's hand.
Kaiba snorted. "Yes." He muttered and pointed to Marik who sat atop Joey's shoulders. "He did it."
"I didn't mean to." Marik was pouting.
"We know Marik, we know." Joey was saying.
"Where's Ryou?" Yami asked suddenly, glancing around for the silver-haired hikari.
"Bakura thought that the fire alarm was his fault and Ryou took him to the back of the building to calm him down." Kaiba said. "That kid has a few demons he needs to work out."
Yami sighed, he knew that.
"Come on Yami, I wanna go find Ryou!" Yugi said as he slid down Yami's back, landing on his feet. Yami quickly followed after Yugi as his other half ran toward the back of the school, dodging people as he ran. By the time he reached the smaller boy, Yugi had found Ryou and Yami Bakura.
Ryou was sitting in the lush grass, leaning against the school building. Yami Bakura had buried his face into Ryou's shirt and apparently had yet to come up for air.
Yugi approached slowly as Ryou looked up from the little boy held in his arms. "Is he okay?" The pharaoh's light asked quietly.
Ryou smiled and nodded, "The noise freaked him out a little." He said as he gently ran his hand through his yami's soft hair. "Can you guys do me a favour?" He wondered softly as Yami Bakura shifted slightly, moving his face away from Ryou's shirt and turning his head to the side so he could breathe, but the small boy made sure that he didn't face Yami and Yugi.
"Sure." Yugi nodded.
"I have shop class next and I don't want to take him with me. It would be easy for him to get hurt." Ryou explained. "I don't care if I get a detention because he's not with me. His wellbeing is more important to me."
"Of course we'll take him." Yami said, knowing what the favour was.
Ryou grinned, "Thanks." He said just as the bell that signaled everyone that it was okay to go back into the school rang. "Kura?" Ryou said softly and the small boy looked up at him. "You're going to go with Yami and Yugi to Yugi's next class, okay?"
Ryou internally winced when Yami Bakura's eyes widened and immediately began to fill with tears. "But. . .but, what did I do?" The chibi asked.
"You didn't do anything. You might get hurt in my next class and I don't want that to happen." Ryou explained easily. "I'll come and pick you up as soon as my class is over and then you and me'll go to art class, how's that?" He asked.
"Pwomise?" Yami Bakura looked up hopefully and Ryou saw the preparation for rejection again.
"I promise." Ryou nodded and vowed that he'd keep his promise.
"Otay." Yami Bakura replied hesitantly and let Yami pick him up.
"Alright squirt, let's get to class. The sooner we get there the sooner we can eat." Ryou heard Yami say as the four of them went back to the entrance doors, where students were still filing into the school.
"Food? We get ta eat?" The small chibi grinned.
"Hmm. . .I don't know. Yugi, are you a good baker?"
"No, but Tea's my partner. And although Ryou could probably do better, she's okay." Yugi shrugged as the group entered the school.

Yami Bakura looked at the figure in front of him and immediately began to giggle. The oh-so adorable sound got the attention of almost everyone in the room and an 'aww' echoed through the classroom as they spied the chibi. Then they too began to laugh when they saw what the chibi was laughing at.
Yami Yugi frowned.
Yugi sighed teasingly, "I told you not to touch the flour Yami. Now you look like a ghost." He shook his head as he looked the flour-coated spirit up and down. "Remind me never to let you in the kitchen at home."
"It's not my fault." Yami pouted as he picked up Yami Bakura, not caring about getting the chibi covered in flour too. The white-haired, well, all of him was white now, even his dark pants, giggled again as Yami shook his head, causing the flour to fall down on the boy like a light snow.
"Sure, and it's not your fault that Bakura's now covered!" Yugi sighed as he rolled his eyes as he tried not to grin. He was glad to see the chibi yami happy again and he knew that that was why Yami had 'accidentally' dumped flour all over himself.
Tea, however, did not see it in the same point of view. "Geez Yami, you're so embarrassing!" She hid her face from everyone, as if they were actually paying attention to /her/. She could see her mother shaking her head at the immaturity. That was okay though, Yugi had met Mrs. Gardner, the woman wouldn't have known what fun was if it bit her in the ass.
"I'm only having a little fun Tea, it's not like I ruined whatever you're making or anything." Yami shrugged as he plopped down on a stool, keeping Yami Bakura in his lap. Truth be told, the chibi was amazingly cute, and thinking back on it, the pharaoh felt like a heel for yelling at the kid.
"Fun?" Tea raised an eyebrow as if the word was foreign. "You're playing with Bakura! As in Yami Bakura!" She spat the name as if it were poison itself as she glared at the slightly cowering chibi. "That's not fun, that's just. . .wrong!" She huffed then went back to her work.
"When we regain our shadow powers, I am going to let Bakura send her to the Shadow Realm, and if he doesn't, I will." Yami growled as he glared at the back of Tea's head, as if trying to make a hole through it.
Yugi sighed as he shook his head. Tea had a one tracked mind and there was nothing that would cure her of it.
Yami noticed that Yami Bakura had gone silent. "What's up kid?" He asked, looking down at the boy.
Brown eyes looked at him questioningly. "I bad?" He asked, his voice soft.
Yami had to fight the urge not to smash Tea over the head with the meat tenderizer as his heart wrenched at the slight quiver in the questioning eyes. "No, you're not bad!" Yami promised to the chibi. "Don't listen to mean old Tea, she doesn't know what she's talking about." He said as he gently messed Yami Bakura's hair, causing the chibi to giggle again.
Yami had never realized how a simple sound could make him feel so good.

Ooh, one more note about the name Khalid, it's not overly important, it's just a name I picked out 'cause I doubt Ryou would have a brother named Bakura Bakura. Right?
And um, thanks for the support on the flame issue, I was mostly just ranting. . .*hugs readers* You people are great!
Ahem, yes well. . .I STILL LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!! And I'm sorry for the 'story not found' business, I still haven't gotten a reply yet, probably never will.
