Age of Winter

Chapter 7

            Yeah! I finally got enough admissions! That's author's note really helps….0.0 Wow. Thanx to all of you who reviewed to be in the story and the ones I've chosen to be in it are…..all of you! Yep! I got just enough reviews to include every single person in the chapter. Actually, I'm short a teacher but you'll see how I work with that…heh heh heh… so without further ado, here's chapter 7!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yugioh. There. Ya happy?! (okay, so that was ado, but now I'm writing)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "NO! I don't wanna!! You can't make me!!!" Yami cried as Nayru tugged at the back of his shirt, trying to get him out the door.

            " You idiot! You said you'd go with me! Remember?" Nayru yelled. It was Monday and it was Nayru's first day of official high school. Yami could just imagine the insanity that would ensue when she walked in there. Aurora and Nakota had gone home with her father so she had no other help prying the vicious Dark from the front doorframe. "Geez! Since when where you so strong?!" she yelled in disbelief. She pulled harder and he finally let go and they both toppled to the ground.

            " Fine. So you can make me…" Yami mumbled in defeat. Before he could get up, Nayru grabbed his hand and pulled him down the street. Yugi had, for once, woken up early when he heard Nayru rushing around to catch Yami and drag him to school so he was already there. Nayru pulled Yami's hand about halfway down the block before he yanked himself free. " I can walk on my own, you know." He grumbled. " Sick little teenager…" he whispered under his breath. They arrived at school and Nayru, being her cheating, cunning self, had arranged it so that she, Ryou, Yugi and Yami were in all the same classes. She dragged him along the hallways until she arrived at a classroom and sat in an empty seat with Yami behind her. The bell rang soon after and a tall, dark skinned teacher walked into the room.

            " Good morning, class. I am your new teacher, Skye Takashino. I'm afraid that your normal teacher, Mrs. Manaiaki, met with a terrible accident involving a semi-truck so she'll be in the hospital for the duration of the school year. So let's take attendance, shall we?  Lelian Miliko Amaya?

            " Here!" she yelled from the back of the room.

            " Malika Ishtal?"

            " Here." She said dully.

            " Katy?"

            " Here! Here! I'm back here, see?" she cried excited from a seat in the back.

            " Yes, I can see you, Katy. Kiki?"

            " Sorry, not here at the moment. Please leave a message after the beep." Kiki said humorously, following her statement with a long tone like that of an answering machine.

            " Oh, yes. I'd like to say that if you don't get your act together, the next message will be detention."

            " Oh fine, you old stiff." Kiki mumbled.

            " Yami?"

            " Yeah." He said hurriedly, trying to avoid Nayru's lips trying to kiss him.

            " Nayru, give it up. You won't catch him." Malika said from across the row.

            " Oh, that is so what you think." She laughed. She then jumped from her seat to Yami and they both fell to the floor with Nayru on top. " Told ya I could." She sneered at Malika. She gave Yami a quick peck on his cheek and got back to her seat.

            " I must warn you, Ms. Pegasus, that if you that again, you'll have detention as well." Mr. Takashino said seriously.

            " Oh, come on now. Stop calling me 'Ms. Pegasus'. I hate that last name bad enough as it is. It makes me feel like I'm being mistaken for my mom. I like my middle name sooooo much better." She answered with a wishful smile.

            " And what would that be?"

            " Nadeshiko." She answered. (for you Cardcaptor Sakura lovers out there)

            " Ok…I'll call you Ms. Nadeshiko then."

            " YEAH!" she cried and her chair fell over backwards. Mr. Takashino couldn't stifle his giggling. " DON'T LAUGH AT ME!!!!" Nayru shrieked. Mr. Takashino simply turned back to the board.

            *Lunchtime*

            " I hate this food." Nayru said, spitefully tossing a dinner roll from her plate to the floor behind her, where a passing student slipped on it and fell. Nayru never noticed.

            " It looked disgusting when I came in here." Yami groaned. He wasn't eating anything. Just then, Malika, Kiki, Lelian, and Katy came to their table.

            " Hi, Yami-kun. Hi Nayru." They chorused sweetly.

            " Hi." They responded boredly.

            " Can we sit with you guys? All of the rest of tables are full." Lelian asked, batting her eyelashes a couple of times.

            " No they aren't." Nayru answered, looking around when Katy suddenly jumped in her way of vision so she couldn't see the rest of the tables.

            " Yes they are." Katy snarled and sat down and the rest followed suit.  

            " Sooooo….why'd you come to this dingy old school, Yami-kun?" Lelian asked, propping her head up on her hands and getting a bit too friendly for Nayru's liking.

            " She made me." He answered, pointing spitefully to Nayru.

            " What?! Are you accusing me of something?!" Nayru asked.

            " If accusing you means saying that you pried my fingers from your doorframe this morning all for a made-up promise, then yes, I am accusing you." Yami sneered.

            " I did no such thing and you know it!" she shrieked.

            " I'm sorry, but I don't. Could you refresh my memory?" he laughed.

            " Ohhh….if this weren't school, I'd get you big time for this!" she growled and left.

            " She's got issues." Malika commented.

            " Ya got that right." Kiki responded.

            " Definitely." Lelian and Katy chorused.

            " Like I don't know that." Yami mumbled. He pulled out his chair and followed Nayru out.

            They had arrived at their last hour class and Yami felt like falling asleep. He wasn't used to getting up and going to one place and staying there for so long. He busied himself with counting the cracks in the window while everyone awaited the teacher's arrival. Two minutes after the bell rang for class to start, the teacher walked in. Malika screamed in delighted surprise and fell backward out of her seat. Malik was the teacher!

            " I hate this job, I hate this job, I hate this job, I hate this job. I think you all know who I am so I needn't introduce myself." Malik groaned and grabbed a pile of papers from the podium up front and began passing them out. When he came to Malika, she grabbed the Egyptian type robe he was wearing just so he could stop and let her stare at him.

            " Sigh…." Malika sighed wishfully. Nayru sighed annoyedly and raised her hand to ask a question.

            " What is it?" Malik groaned.

            " Did Ishizu make you get this job?"

            " Yes… I called her a lousy bitch and she said I was ruthless and lazy and she signed me up."

            " Well, with Yami and Malika here, this will be a looooong term."

That ending was just for Malika, whose login name is, I believe, Inuyasha. She's my newest reviewer. Thanx, Malika! Sorry for the slight language there. No other words could bring it out the way I wanted it. See ya!
