Malik: Ack! I feel so naked!
Naito: Malik.... You're dressed.
Malik: Yeah, but you made me give up my armbands. And my cape. What am I going to do without my cape!?!?!? Oh I feel so betrayed!!! *drops to his knees and starts sobbing -very- loudly*
Yami: Well this is new.
Naito: Any ideas, Yami?
Yami: For what?
Naito: To make Malik happy again.
Yami: Sugar always makes me happy!
Naito: Last thing we need is you or him getting hyper. I gave him half a candy bar the other day and he thought he could fly.
Yami: *look of concern crosses his face* Did he hurt himself?
Naito: No. Luckily in his chocolate-induced delusions, he seemed to think that the table was much higher than it actually was.
Yami: Ah, I see.

Malik tugged at his jacket as he walked down the street. 'Smile? Smile?! How can she possibly expect me to smile in a situation like this?' He continued to glare as the school came into view. Kids of all shapes and sizes milled about the school yard, waiting to the first bell to ring. With a final sigh, he stepped through the gate and walked to the main doors of the school. 'No turning back now. After all, even if I did go back home, Isis would kick me out again.' A few people turned to look at him, but were met with a icy violet stare. One girl looked very startled. Malik smirked and silently congratulated himself for still being able to scare the living hell out of people. Of course, not all people had the same reaction.
"Malik!" A voice called out to him. He followed the voice to see.... Yugi Motou. The short duelist was grinning and waving, Tea smiling by his side. Malik managed a weak half smile and a tiny wave. He was about to go back to being immersed in his own little world, when he could practically hear Isis' voice. *Be nice, Malik!* She was saying. * If he's willing to forgive and forget after this whole thing, you should be too. Go on, talk to them. It won't kill you to socialize a little.* So, he swallowed his pride and walked over to the pair.
"Hello, Yugi, Tea." He nodded to each as he spoke, still wearing his strange version of a smile.
"Good to see you again, Malik." Tea replied. "We were all glad to hear you had started school because that meant you were okay after Battle City. We were all kind of worried about you." Yugi nodded solemnly in agreement, but then the foot wide grin returned.
"But I guess we were worrying for nothing because here you are!" He almost seemed to be bouncing, but Malik wasn't really sure. Scratch that. Malik was downright confused. 'Why is he so ridiculously happy? He's trapped in this hell-hole just like me... I will never understand these people.'
"It took a few weeks for me to recuperate after my Yami was desrtoyed, but I'm fine now." He explained. "Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to be bed-ridden for a week?" Yugi and Tea laughed a little. Malik hadn't been joking.
"Oh! Malik! Guess what?" Yugi exclaimed. Malik was about to ask 'What?' but the pint sized one cut him off. "We're in the same homeroom!"
"Too bad the teacher's such a creep." The group of three turned towards the location of the Brooklyn sounding voice to see Bakura, Tristan and a rather tired looking Joey. Tristan rolled his eyes at the blonde.
"Oh, Joey, you're only exaggerating because Mr Tamazaki flunked you in math last year." Joey mumbled something inaudible but most likely of the insulting nature.
"Cheer up now, mate." Bakura told him, patting his shoulder. "I'm pretty good at math, so I'll help you this year. After all, we're in the same class."
"You guys are together?" Yugi asked.
"Joey and Bakura are, but I'm all alone." Tristan sulked.
"Come now, Tristan, that's not true." Bakura replied. "You've got Kaiba."
"There's something to be grateful for." The brunette said, his voice practically dripping with sarcasm. Everyone laughed, save for Tristan and Malik. Joey opened his mouth to say something, but was cut short by the buzzer ringing to signal the start of the school day and the official start of Malik's torture.
'I'll get you for this Isis.' He thought as Yugi led him to their classroom. 'Just you wait and see.'
---------------------------------
Naito: Okay, it's question answering time! I promise the next chappie will be longer. I swear on Malik.
Malik: *doens't notice because he's still mourning the lose of his cape*
Naito: And to Nuriko Metallium- No I'm not really sure if that's what happened. I do know that Yami Malik did kill Malik's father, but the rest I pulled out of thin air. Sorry. I need your input people so don't hesitate to throw ideas at me! Just make sure they're soft ideas, cause I don't like getting hit by hard objects, kay?
Naito: Malik.... You're dressed.
