~chapter 4~
Jounouchi waved as Yuugi entered the classroom, getting up to walk over. "Great, you're here!" he put an arm around the smaller boy and lead him to his desk. "Did you get the homework done last night?" he asked in a conspiratorial tone.
Yuugi looked at the blond, eyes widening as he realized he'd forgotten to do his homework.
Jounouchi's face fell. "Aw, not you too!" he exclaimed. "Crap. I just hope Bakura get in in time fer me to copy his," the blond looked agitated.
"Bakura-kun isn't coming in," Yuugi said without thinking.
"Eeeh?" Jounouchi exclaimed, looking at the smaller boy. "Why not? He get sick or something?"
"Un," Yuugi agreed quickly.
"Ttaku..." Jounouchi sighed. "Ne, Yuugi, can you get the homework offa Anzu? I don't wanna flunk!"
Yuugi smiled and nodded, hurrying to Anzu's desk to borrow the homework.
"Thanks, man," Jounouchi gave a relieved sigh as he began franticly coping down the answers. "So how bad's Bakura? If he's skipping school it's gotta be pretty bad, eh?"
"It's... really bad," Yuugi answered as he also copied the work. "I don't know when he'll be back."
"Damn. We should go visit him, cheer him up some and bring him the work so he doesn't get too far behind."
"No!" Yuugi exclaimed loudly. He looked around at the people who paused to look at them. "I mean, no," he repeated softer. "I talked to him on the phone. He's still contagious, so he said we shouldn't go visit for a few weeks."
"Weeks?!" Jounouchi exclaimed. "What's he got?"
"I don't know. I forgot to ask."
"Just have to call him then. Maybe throw rocks at his window or something to let him know we're still here for him, ya know?"
"Maybe we shouldn't disturb him.... He said he needs a lot of rest,"
Jounouchi shrugged, continuing to scribble on his paper.
"Hey," Honda greeted. "Either of you seen Bakura this morning at all?"
"Yuugi says he's out sick," Jounouchi replied.
Honda looked concerned. "I'll have to stop by and make sure he's doing okay."
"No!" Yuugi insisted. "Bakura-kun said he didn't want visitors," He explained with a blush as both boys looked at him questioningly.
"If he's sick enough to be out of school, he needs someone to at least check up on him since he doesn't have anyone to take care of him. I can get a hospital mask from the nurses office so there'll be no chance of catching anything, and just make sure he's doing alright."
"But he doesn't want you to," Yuugi insisted. "He doesn't want to be responsible for getting anyone else sick. I'm getting his work for him and he said he didn't need anything else."
"I won't get sick, don't worry," Honda smiled. "I'm not going to leave a friend to be alone when he's sick!"
"But Bakura-kun worries!" Yuugi pointed out strongly. "If you go he'll keep worrying that you'll get sick and he'll get sicker."
Honda put a hand on his chin in thought. "There is that," he admitted. "But if he's sick enough to be out of school, he'll be too sick to cook for himself," he countered. "So I'll just stop by with something. Call up and leave it by his door if need be."
"A neighbor is doing that already," Yuugi said quickly.
"Then I'll just call him," Honda decided.
"He shouldn't be disturbed. He said he needs a lot of sleep but wakes up easily and then can't fall asleep again."
"So what, he's just gonna isolate himself from the world til he gets better?" Jounouchi asked. "I don't know about you guys, but I'd go insane if I did that when I got sick."
Honda gave a chuckle. "Which is why you're always over my house freeloading and getting ME sick," he smirked.
"Bakura just needs to rest," Yuugi said with the beginnings of relief. They'd believed him.
"All right... but you'll have to give him our get well wishes," Honda pointed. "Maybe I'll write him a note during class," he mused.
"Un," Yuugi agreed with a nod.
'You're doing that one wrong,' Bakura spoke up softly as Yuugi worked on a math problem.
Yuugi blinked in startlement before remembering that Bakura was in his head. 'I am?' he asked silently.
'Un. It's more like this...' Bakura explained.
Yuugi listened to the explanation, continuing his work as he went. 'Un! I understand now.'
Yuugi could tell the paler boy was smiling. 'If there's any of these you need help with, I can show you how to do them,' he offered. 'I'm good at it and I know the teacher sometimes explains things awkwardly.'
'I know,' Yuugi complained. 'I can never understand what he says!'
'He's not that hard to understand once you realize what he means,' Bakura smiled slightly. 'It's not unlike understanding someone who has a heavy accent.'
Yuugi smiled slightly. 'I never was any good at understanding accents.'
'You've never heard an accent until you've heard an Egyptian read Japanese from a book,' Bakura laughed softly. 'And I'm sure the reverse was equally as true.'
Yuugi laughed softly, correcting his mistakes as Bakura showed him. 'It must be fun to hear, though.'
'Un,' Bakura agreed. 'Ne, Yuugi-kun... Is there anyway to have you forge my handwriting?'
'Forge..?'
'I don't want to fall behind in school...' Bakura said, voice slightly uncomfortable.
'If you take control of my body, maybe you can write in your own handwriting.'
'No!' Bakura exclaimed in a near panic.
'But that's the easiest way.'
'I--I can't do it, Yuugi-kun,' Bakura's voice trembled.
'It's really ok, Bakura-kun,' Yuugi said, putting his pen down to concentrate on his friend.
'It isn't!' Bakura insisted, voice bordering hysterical. 'I won't control you, Yuugi-kun, I won't!'
'Not me, Bakura-kun. Just my body. I know you wouldn't hurt me.'
'I won't,' Bakura repeated in a near whimper.
Yuugi called his other self to take control of his body and descended to his soul room to comfort Bakura.
The boy was curled up in the corner of Yuugi's soul room, hugging his knees to his chest, wings wrapped around him.
"Bakura-kun...." Yuugi knelt, wrapping his arms around the paler boy.
"Please don't make me control you, Yuugi-kun," Bakura whimpered, melting into the embrace.
"I won't make you do anything you don't want to," Yuugi assured.
"Arigatou... I just-- I don't want to do anything that-- that might... Gomen nasai..." Bakura looked up slightly, trying to force a smile. Suddenly his eyes went wide. "Aaa! Yuugi-kun! You're in school, you should be paying attention!" he exclaimed.
"Daijoubu," the smaller boy reassured. "Mou hitori no boku is in control so no one will notice. And if I don't understand something I can just ask Anzu."
"Demo... If Yuugi-kun doesn't understand the math, how would mou hitori no Yuugi-kun...?" Bakura asked silently. He gave a small embarrassed smile. "Gomen, demo... you shouldn't miss out on class just because of me."
Yuugi shook his head. "You're more important than math!"
"Yuugi-kun...." The paler boy smiled fondly, snuggling against Yuugi slightly. "It would be selfish for me to ask him to stay," he thought aloud. "And if mou hitori no Yuugi-kun got called on by a teacher..." Bakura gave a small sigh. "You should get back to class though," he said, reluctantly pulling away.
"I don't care if you're selfish," Yuugi answered. "And I want to stay here with you."
"Yuugi-kun..." Bakura blinked up in surprise before looking down with a smile and slight blush.
"You're MUCH more interesting than math."
Bakura laughed slightly, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Arigatou. Demo, I can't help you with the homework if we both miss the class."
"Don't worry. I said I'd ask Anzu. She'll know."
The paler boy smiled. "So... we can snuggle then...?" he asked silently.
Yuugi nodded happily.
Bakura's blush deepened and he hesitantly moved to lean against the smaller boy.
Yuugi hugged him, resting his head against Bakura's.
"Aibou," Yami Yuugi poked his head into Yuugi's soul room, looking slightly frustrated. "Class is breaking for lunch." He turned to head for his room, but paused. "And how can you be given detention?" he asked, curious.
'Eeeeeeeeeeh?' Yuugi asked in horror. 'I got detention?'
"The teacher said I was 'spacing out' or something. Jounouchi also got detention for defending me." The spirit scowled. "I'm tempted to challenge him. Punishing someone for defending a friend is unforgiveable...."
"Iie!" Yuugi hastened to assure the ancient spirit. "I'll just go to detention. It's not a big deal."
"If your sure..." Yami Yuugi shrugged and entered his soul room, closing the door behind him.
"Gomen... boku no sei yo..." Bakura apologized, looking down.
Yuugi shook his head. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. I did it myself."
"You should get out there before you get in more trouble," Bakura nodded to the wall where Jounouchi could be seen heading to Yuugi's desk.
Yuugi roused himself and looked at Jounouchi with a self-conscious smile. "Thanks for standing up for me, even if it got you in trouble." He rose. "Well, detention shouldn't be anything much for you, ne?"
Jounouchi gave a grin. "That's what pals are for, right?" he asked, putting a friendly arm around the smaller boy.
Hours later the boys were washing the blackboard in detention.
"Hey, Yuugi," Jounouchi asked, rinsing his sponge. "How come you were spacing in class today? Something up?"
Yuugi rubbed the back of his head. "Just worried about Bakura-kun, I guess."
"To the point where ya needed to switch to your others elf?"
"Ehehehe...."
'Bakura-kun, do you mind if I tell him?'
The boy hesitated a moment. 'Maybe you should... incase he sees the Ring,' he said slowly.
Yuugi shifted. "Can I tell you about it later? After detention?"
"Sure. I can walk ya home," Jounouchi smiled.
"He got what!?" Jounouchi exclaimed, staring in disbelief at the smaller boy as they walked to the game shop.
Yuugi nodded. "And now he's inside my head," he concluded.
Jounouchi made a face. "That's just..." he shook his head. "Not that I don't believe you or anything like that it's just... that's just really fucked up."
Yuugi nodded. "He feels really bad about it."
'I really don't mind,' he thought wistfully. 'Maybe he could get to like me too....'
'It wouldn't be hard...' Yuugi heard Bakura think softly.
Jounouchi shook his head again. "So, we'll just have to track down the bastard in Bakura's body and force him out, eh?" he grinned.
"You don't have to hurry," Yuugi blurted, then blushed and covered his mouth. "I mean, we don't know how to do that without hurting Bakura-kun. He wouldn't duel mou hitori no boku, so...."
"We just have to get the Ring away again, right? And make sure it says gone this time. I can call Honda and we'll take care of it, no problem!" Jounouchi assured, cracking his knuckles.
"But Jounouchi-kun... he can control monster cards. And he can do other things too. How will you do it?"
"Honda got it away from him once," Jounouchi dismissed. "We just have to surprise the bastard and knock him out."
'But what if he seals Jounouchi-kun into a card too?' Bakura spoke up, voice worried.
"Honda-kun caught him off guard! I don't want to risk you two getting sealed too." Yuugi looked upset.
"Yuugi..." Jounouchi put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "All right, I won't. But if I see an opening, I'm gonna take it, 'k?"
Yuugi nodded. "Arigatou, Jounouchi-kun."
"So does this mean you'll be getting Bakura's help on your school work?" the blond grinned.
Yuugi grinned back. "He was helping me with math." The grin slipped. "He's just worried about falling behind...."
"Maybe if we forge a doctors note the teacher'll let him just hand the work in and it won't count against him? I mean, if he's in ya, he can do his work from there, right?"
"But I can't forge his handwriting and he refuses to take control to do it himself, so...."
Jounouchi frowned. "I could always try. I got real good at forging my old mans handwriting, so with some practice, maybe I could get Bakura's down as well. If not, we can always ask Honda."
Yuugi blinked. "Honda-kun can forge Bakura-kun's handwriting?"
"Honda's the one who taught me how to forge," Jounouchi grinned. "If anyone can do it, he can."
Yuugi blinked.
"So, ya have anything with Bakura's handwriting on it? Page of notes? A letter maybe?"
"We could go to his house to get something, maybe...."
"Sounds good. Bakura know where a spare key is or do I get to try my lock picking skills?" Jounouchi grinned.
'But what if he's there?' Bakura added, worried.
'We can at least go look,' Yuugi said, biting his lip slightly.
'I just don't want anything to happen to you or Jounouchi-kun... and-- and if he's there, he might be able to do something so I...' Bakura trailed off.
"Oi, Yuugi, yer spacing out on me here." Jounouchi waved his hand in front of the smaller boy, snapping him out of his mental conversation.
"Gomen!" Yuugi said, rubbing the back of his head. "Bakura-kun's just worried that we'll get hurt."
"Tell him not to worry. If it looks like things are gonna get messy, we'll run for it." Jounouchi grinned.
Bakura gave a small sigh. 'I just hope my door's unlocked. The only spare is in my bookbag and that was in the apartment.'
