Disclaimer: NOOOOO!! YGO IS NOT MINE!
Chapter 2 : The real Cupid and Psyche
* * * * * * * * *
Yugi's eyes opened slowly as the sun peeked through his blinds, his face looking fresh and his smile streaked with innocence
He was experiencing those few sacred minutes when you wake up and your mind is clear. The harsh reality of life has not yet come toppling down on you, in Yugi's case, the very heavy reality.
Slowly rolling onto his side, mind deep in thought, pondering over what had happened the previous night. After his grandpa picked him up at the airport, they'd come home and talked for hours on almost every subject besides what was going on at home.
Sugoruku had told him of his excursions in Egypt, of the amazing discoveries in how Egyptian history was related to Duel Monsters, intriguing Yugi to an inexplicable extent.
Yugi glanced at his clock: 7:30,
7:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He scrambled out of bed and sprinted down the hallway to the bathroom. Sugoruku heard the bathroom door slam shut from the breakfast table, he chuckled
//Just like his mother when she was little, before she threw herself into living hell by marrying that man// the thought darkening his disposition considerably.
~Domino High~
A boy opened his locker and groaned. A dozen red roses lay atop his history book, yesterday it had been blue-tinted carnations, of which he was highly allergic to.
He had ended up getting Benadryl from the nurse and the side effects caused him to fall asleep in class, unfortunately, Mrs. Kenji was the toughest teacher and it resulted in none other than her infamous "one week of detention"
He picked up the roses, stuffed him in the empty locker next to his, which contained some dried daisies, a few old irises and a wilting bird of paradise.
A note fell out of the bouquet as he threw the flowers into the locker. He picked it up
"Roses and red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and Yami is too!" -Anonymous
The boy named Yami rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like "they could have done better than that"
Then he let out a sigh, turning around to look for the love-stricken mob of girls that stayed as close to him as his shadow.
He caught sight of them huddled in a corner cooing and winking at him.
Yami chose to ignore them, instead, he grabbed his book, shoved it into his bag and darted down the hall away from the girls.
* * * * * * * *
Yugi panted as he zipped down the street, his backpack bouncing with his every movement.
//Two more blocks// he thought to himself
//come on legs, don't fail me now!//
The schoolyard finally came into view as Yugi rounded the corner.
//oh no// there wasn't a single person outside.
He burst through the main doors and paused a moment, setting his hands on his knees to regain his breath. Yugi fumbled through his jacket in search of the slip of paper his grandpa gave him that morning.
Room 137, Mrs. Kenji
Yugi dashed off in search of the room.
* * * * * * * * *
His hand lay frozen on the doorknob, his eyes staring at the peeling numbers on the door. He could hear voices coming from inside. A bead of sweat formed on Yugi's face, he didn't know what kind of impression he'd make on the people on the other side of the door.
//Here goes nothing//
He turned the knob and entered the room, 25 pairs of eyes rested on Yugi, including those of Mrs. Kenji. She was a strict-looking lady about 50 years of age and Yugi could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't happy.
"Are you Yugi Mutou?" she asked in a voice of disapproval.
A now scared Yugi nodded silently
"Tsk, late on your first day"
"Gomen nasai sensei"
"I'll see you after class Mr. Mutou"
Yugi swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Take your seat behind miss Nanashi"
He scurried to his seat behind the girl who had raised her hand.
* * * * * *
When Yugi was comfortable, he looked around at his new classmates, admitting to himself that he was intimidated, he'd always had a hard time making friends, and this was no exception. He watched as a girl batted her eyelashes at a boy who was paying no attention to her sitting in the front row.
Yugi stared at the back of his head for a while, not expecting the boy to turn around and look straight at him. Both boys' mouths dropped. It was too obvious, the same golden bangs framing red and black hair. Slanted crimson eyes stared for a few silent moments into perfectly round ones.
Then Yami did something unexpected, his lips moved into a warm smile, and he waved at Yugi before turning back to face the front of the room.
Yugi couldn't help but wonder why he and that boy were the only ones who noticed how similar they looked.
As the class ended, Yugi remembered he had a "talk" with Mrs. Kenji
"It's horrible that a brand new student was late on his first day, and to uphold an important institution we have at this school, I have no choice but to say, a week of detention is a must." She said in her most honorable voice, as if she was saving the world, or putting a serial killer behind bars.
"NANI?"
"Don't argue with me Mr. Mutou, you wouldn't want to get on my bad side"
//as if you had a good side// Yugi thought as she wrote his name on a pink slip and handed it to him without looking up.
//Great, a detention slip on my first day// Yugi sighed and he slid out the door and into the halls.
* * * * * * * * *
So the morning came and went, Yugi spoke to no one, keeping to himself like he always did, staring at the floor when he walked, careful not to make eye contact.
When lunch rolled by, he sat alone under a sakura tree, watching the swans swim in the school pond. He caught occasional glances at the boy who had waved, sitting in the middle of a table with three other guys and a girl.
A boy with blonde hair, honey colored eyes, who looked kind and funny sat to the left of him. To the right of him, there was a tall boy with chestnut brown hair, and cold blue eyes, who Yugi caught smiling kindly at the blonde-haired boy, Yugi could see something in his eyes, but he couldn't decide what is was.
Across from them, sat one boy with long snowy, white hair, he appeared quiet and reserved, but the golden colored ring that hung from his neck intrigued Yugi.
The girl, who was extremely pretty, had long, curly blonde hair, accented by her piercing violet eyes. A pink tint on her small lips matched her uniform jacket.
As Yugi examined the table, a skinny girl with large blue eyes and medium- length brown hair walked up to the table. She swayed her hips so much that she almost looked drunk.
Yugi could only cock his eyebrow in wondering as he watched the scene play out.
The girl stalked up to the table draping her arms around Yugi's look-a- like.
//Of course// Yugi thought to himself //A popular guy like him, he'd have to have a girlfriend//
What Yugi failed to notice was the grossed-out look on Yami's face and the suddenly cold, rejecting demeanors of the other members of the table. Yugi suddenly didn't feel right spying on the group, and hurriedly packed his thing and walked away, if he had only stayed a few more seconds, he would have seen Yami shove the girl off of him, and wave her away.
* * * * * *
It seemed like an eternity before the final bell rang, but when it did, Yugi quickly made his way to the detention room, only one other person was there. Yugi's eyes widened as he saw who the other person in the room was.
//It's him!//
* * * * * * * * *
END CHAPTER 2!!
Well, I wouldn't really call that a cliffy, it's not like anyone's heart monitor just stopped, or somebody just got hit by a car ^_^ hehe.
