Disclaimers: I do not yugioh, but I really wish I did! I do, however, own Kayla Peterson, and some of the students and teachers.



A/N: I hope you like this fic! If you don't like yaoi, ryou/malik, or yami/bakura, then I recommend you not to read this fic. If you do, however, read this, then you shouldn't complain about it because I already warned you. Please review!



LOL: This fic is gonna be really mushy. I'm gonna make Malik really sweet and stuff. Totally different than his old blood-lusting, power-hungry, all- out evil self.

Malik: I'm gonna be sissy!? But that's Ryou's and Pegasus' job!

Ryou and Pegasus: Hey! We're not sissy!

LOL: Well you are sissy in MY fic! What am I saying!? I'm not gonna make you sissy! I'm just gonna make you look like you actually HAVE a heart.

Malik: I can live with that.

LOL: Good. Let's just get the fic on with. Enjoy!







The Rejection: part one





Ryou's POV



It was Halloween night. The sky was dark and the air around me smelled like Fall. I was just putting on the finishing touches for my Halloween costume. My teacher, Mr. Mizuki thought that this year, it would be fun if everybody dressed up for the dance. Every year, there was a Halloween dance for the Gr.7 & 8s. I adjusted my cape and my fangs. There. I looked just like a vampire. I hope Kayla Peterson notices me in this outfit. I heard that most of the guys in the class were going to dress up as Death. Kayla Peterson was a girl I had been crushing on for the last 2 years. She had long black hair, dark brown eyes, and wore glasses. She was the head cheerleader and the head debater for the school. And according to me, she was perfect. My friends, Yami, Bakura, and Malik didn't think I would have a chance with her. They said that I was too "out of her league". Malik was especially shocked when I told them that I had a crush on her. But I shrugged it off. It's not like he's ever liked anyone before.

When I was finished putting my make-up on, I grabbed my coat and ran out the door. My mom called out after me to be back by 11:00pm. I walked silently to school when I was joined by Yami on the way. He dressed up as an Egyptian prince. I had to admit, he didn't look at all bad in the costume. He wore this little ring necklace as a collar and a cape that hung over his shoulders. He also wore this red tank top under the cape and tight leather pants. I thought that it was sort of weird for an Egyptian prince to be wearing leather pants. But I didn't bother questioning him. He was the only guy in the whole school who wears leather pants to school. It's kind of like his trademark or something. One time, when I was eating lunch, I overheard some of the girls in my class saying that Yami "looked hot" in them. I didn't really give it a second thought. I mean, it's not like I'm gay or something.

When we got inside the gym, we were joined up with Bakura and Malik. Bakura was dressed up as a thief, wearing a black eye mask and a leather jacket. Bakura also had a trademark article, his jacket. Even in the summer, you can see him wearing it. He just rolls his sleeves up, but you never see him taking it off. For all I know, the guy could be sleeping in the jacket, or even showering in them! He's one mysterious dude. He's the hardest one to figure out, of the four of us. Malik was dressed up as a guy who had been slashed one too many times by something long and sharp. He had these slash marks and fake blood all over him. It was totally gory. Man, sometimes, that guy can really gross me out. Then he spotted a group of girls standing near the back wall and proceeded towards them, fake blood and all. We stood there, watching in bewilderment as he walked up behind a girl dressed up as, I think, Barbie or something and grabbed her around the waist. The other girls screamed and ran away. "Barbie girl" slowly turned around and we all heard an ear-splitting scream when she realized who it was. He let go of her, laughing his head off. Bakura joined in in laughing. Me and Yami just stood there, staring. I couldn't believe the guy!

Then the unthinkable happened, Kayla walked up beside me. She was dressed up as a doctor with a white lab coat and a stethoscope around her neck. She looked gorgeous. "Aren't those your friends, Ryou?" She asked as she pointed to Malik and Bakura, who were chasing the girls around the gym, laughing. I couldn't say anything. All I could do was nod my head. "Well, would it be okay if you told him to stop terrorizing my friends?" She pleaded. Yami caught her question and answered her back in a little kiddy voice, "Well, their just having a little fun. Can't the guys get a little fun? I mean it is Halloween." She gave him a look that said "boy, you're impossible, but I'll let you get away with it because you've got the kiddy voice" then she turned to me and gave me a look that said "Thanks a LOT" then walked away. I couldn't believe it! now she probably hates me! Yami must have seen the disappointed look in my face, because he suggested we get some punch. I guess I never said this, but, I love fruit punch!

I finished eight cups of the stuff when I realized that Yami wasn't next to me anymore. I guess he went to dance, I thought. I then realized that I was in serious need of a bathroom. I quickly ran inside the guy's changeroom and proceeded to head to the stalls when I saw something in the back that stopped me right in the tracks. There was Yami, making out with.....Bakura!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! Two of my friends were gay!!!!!! All urges for me to use the washroom earlier left me and I ran out of the changeroom as fast as I could, stumbling over my feet as I did. Yami and Bakura turned around when they heard me. I guess they tried to explain it to me, and believe me, I would've LOVED to hear their explanation but I was just too shocked to stay. I headed straight for the refreshments table and practically drank the whole bowl of punch. I had to do anything to get that picture out of my head. Yami and..Bakura? Kissing? Why couldn't they have told me sooner? I guess they were scared that I might act the way I did just now. Did Malik know about them? I had to ask him.

I looked around the gym to find him in a corner, trying to get away from Amy Langer. She was an American exchange student who came to our school last year and decided to stay here, courtesy of Malik. Geesh, you help a girl with a little math problem and she falls in love with you. And then you can't get rid her! I felt sorry for Malik, but at least he had a girl who worshipped the ground he walked on. Malik spotted me and gave me a pleading "help me!" look. I gave him a "no way! You were the one who got yourself into this" look. He returned by giving me a "please! I'll do ANYTHING!" look. I gave in and went over to him, where Amy was clutching to his arm, as if she would fall off an icy cliff of death if she lets go. Hey, that's what I thought it looked like. Anyways, I walked up to them and told Amy that I needed to talk to Malik about something and asked her if she could excuse them. Miraculously, she let go of his arm, with a little smirk on her face. She silently walked away, never keeping her eyes off Malik, then turned around to face her friends, who were whispering suspiciously.

I knew there was something really weird going on when she reluctanly let go of Malik's arm, without putting up a fight as she always does. Most of the time, I don't let other people's opinions get to me, but I felt like I just HAD to know what they were talking about. I shrugged it off and walked over to Malik. He was rubbing his arm, complaining that she had a grip of a gorilla. I chuckled at the thought of Amy being a gorilla. Malik gave me a confused look but I just waved it off. Then I got serious. I stared Malik right in the eye. I had to talk to him about Yami and Bakura. Then I noticed that Malik was blushing. Why would he be blushing? I gave him a questioning look. He pointed behind me. I turned around to see people looking and pointing to us. What was wrong with them? Hadn't they ever seen us talking together in private before? Then it hit me like an iceberg. They must've thought we were....gay! I fumed inside! Haven't they ever seen two best friends having a private conversation? I angrily pulled Malik out of the gym. I couldn't take all their eyes.

Then I remembered why I wanted to talk to Malik. My face turned all serious like. I asked him in a still and deep voice, "Did you know about Yami and Bakura?" He looked at me straight in the eye, then he started chuckling. "Of course! Didn't you know? I thought it was pretty obvious." Then he stopped chuckling. "Maybe you were just too busy with Kayla to realize when two of your friends are gay and going out with eachother. You'd probably be so clueless, that I can be gay for MONTHS before you find out. How'd you find out anyway?" I could see he was curious. So I told him, the whole story. He laughed at the thought of Yami and Bakura making out. Then he got all serious and asked me when I was even going to ask Kayla to dance. I totally forgot! And the dance's going to be over in half an hour! I quickly ran back in the gym, with a calm looking Malik behind him.

I slowly walked up to Kayla, my face heating up. I took a deep breath and tapped her on the shoulders......
