Naito: *has managed to calm down Yugi and has unwillingly saved the
Kuriboh from destruction* All right, this seems to be going well so far.
Malik: *hugs the new cape* Thank you Evil Sugarysweetness!! I was starting to get cold.
Naito: We're in the middle of a heat wave!! How could you be cold?
Malik: Correction. An east Canada heat wave. I'm from Egypt!
Naito: Whatever. Did anybody call?
Malik: Um.... Tenshi No Shi says she thinks Bakura's avoiding her, Muffin wants Mai's phone number and Leea Silver is threatening to come at you with a rusty scythe.
Naito: What the hell??? Why does she want to do that?
Malik: I think she heard the bit about Seto being your favourite.
Naito: I never said that! I said you were my favourite and that if Seto was, Leea would kill me.
Malik: *shrugs* Guess she misheard. *as if on cue, Leea Silver burst into the room wielding the above mentioned scythe*
Leea Silver: SETO KAIBA IS MINE!!!!
Naito: *dodging the blade* I never said otherwise! He's yours!! You heard wrong!!
Leea Silver: Promise??
Naito: I promise!
Leea Silver: *drops the scythe* Great!
Naito: Where'd you get that anyway?
Leea Silver: Shade Strife lent it to me. And she's coming for the Kuriboh.
Kuriboh: O.O; *ducks down behind the disclaimer sign*

.... Yami to Yugi and vice versa
/...../ Bakura to Yami Bakura and vice versa (Yes I realize Bakura is somewhat more assertive towards his yami in this fic)
---------------------------------
Malik tried to remain inconspicuous upon his re-entry into the classrom, but of course it didn't work. The teacher immediately noticed him and demanded an explanation.
"I'm very sorry, sir." He replied. "I thought the...." He suddenly caught himself. There was no way that the teacher would believe: 'I thought the announcements were my psychotic dark half returning from the Shadow Realm to kill the reincarnated Pharoah who lives inside Yugi Motou's puzzle.' Not happening. So, he came up with something more believeable. Yugi merely stumbled back to his seat, wondering how Malik would cover.
"Well? What is it?"
"I fell asleep during the announcements and dreamt the school was on fire. It was quite the lifelike dream and threw me. I guess I-"
"Quiet!" Mr Tamazaki yelled. "That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard! Even if it was true, you shouldn't have been alseep in class! And on the first day too-" Malik had taken as much as he was going to from this particular teacher.
"SILENCE!" He shouted, glaring daggers at Tamazaki. He proceeded to scream every insult he could think of, in Egyptian of course. "BOUSE TIZI, MUTI!" With that, he went back to his seat. Everyone in the room was staring at the platinum blonde youth who sat rigidly in his chair, staring straight ahead. He was the only one in the room who knew what he just said.
Well almost the only one.
Inside his soul room, Yami was laughing harder than he ever had. Of course, that wasn't very hard. He thought that Malik's words combined with the teacher's expression were nothing short of hilarious, if not a little obscene.
What?!? What did he say, Yami!? Yugi mentally pleaded.
Nothing, aibou. Nothing at all. Just a few common Egyptian insults. The younger was completely unconvinced, but knew that trying to get answers from Yami was like trying to get answers from a rock. If he didn't want to tell you, you weren't going to know. And thus, Yugi gave up.
"Can someone lend me enough to buy a pop?" Joey asked at recess, hopefully looking around at his friends. Well, his friends and Malik who was hanging back behind Yugi looking rather uncomfortable. Despite all of Yugi's, Yami's and Isis' reassurances, he was still somewhat cautious around the Egyptian. But he would try. He had learned from Yugi that friendship could be found in the most unlikely of places. Not that Malik was making this easy.
"I don't believe you, Joey!" Tea exclaimed. "It's only the first day of school and you're already bumming money. How are you going to survive the rest of the year?"
"Um... Duel people for food?" He replied sheepishly. His head was quickly met by Tea's math book. "It was a joke!! Geez, someone needs their PMS pills..." This comment got him hit again, but this time twice as hard.
"Maybe now you'll learn to keep your mouth shut." She scolded him. He glared but kept quiet. He needed the few remaning brain cells he had left.
"Don't feel bad Joseph." Five heads instantly snapped back to look at Malik who hadn't said much all day. "I have an older sister. I know what it's like. Though, Isis has yet to hit me with a book."
"Am I hearing things? Or did Malik just talk?" Tristan asked increduously. The platinum blonde shot him a sliver of a smile.
"No Tristan, you're not hearing things. I am speaking. I have a mouth just like you. However I choose to use it much less frequently." Joey burst out laughing and Tristan started chasing him around like a mad man.
Thanks Yami. I think we're starting to break the ice. He seems more open than he was last time we saw him.
He does. But don't thank me. He's doing this all on his own.
In any case, it's a nice change.
Let us hope it stays. Yugi agreed with Yami and wanted to keep Malik in an open mood and decided the best way to do this was by keeping the conversation flowing.
"So Malik, what do you think of school so far?" He asked.
"It's trying to the patience." Malik replied. "That second teacher though was almost as scary as...."
"My yami?" Bakura piped up. Inside his soul room, Yami Bakura fumed over this.
/Very funny, Bakura. Perhaps I should have a talk with Malik./
/I don't think that would be wise. Not with Yami so close. And with so many people around./
/This is true.... But I will have a chance to speak with him./ Bakura mentally rolled his eyes.
/If you say so. But for now, please leave me be. So long as you promise to be good, I'll let you speak to him later./ He could feel his yami smirk.
/Of course I'll be good, hikari. You doubt me?/
/Everyone doubts you./
Malik: *hugs the new cape* Thank you Evil Sugarysweetness!! I was starting to get cold.
Naito: We're in the middle of a heat wave!! How could you be cold?
