Title: Legacy

Summary: yami's the popular rebel and yugi's the loner, bully victim. They're worlds apart, but someone has come to bring them together.

Pairings: THE PAIRINGS HAVE CHANGED! Well only one really, its just that I couldn't be bothered bringing anzu back, I hate her and those stupid friendship rants, euww *shudder*  yami/yugi, bakura/ryou, marik/OC, mai/isis, seto/jou.

Warnings: YAOI AND YURI! Slight angst, and messing with the characters. AU, of course, and OC plus OOC, cause I've screwed with some of the personalities of the characters, I don't exactly remember what all the characters look like, but I'm trying, if I get anything wrong, pleeze tell me. There will be yugi cursing and other people cursing as well, some talk of violence. Remember: guy on guy action, don't like, don't read.

A/N: GGGGOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN!!!!! Oh my gosh people, I am soooooooooooo sorry about the never-ending wait for the next chapter, but things like tests and school and other fics and stress and then hideous writers block which I am still suffering from totally f*cked up the writing of this chapter. However, tis now done, and I want to say a big absolutely humongous thank you to my reviewers, I swear I would never have continued if you hadn't taken the time to shout at me to continue, arigatou!!! Oh and by the way, for the purpose of posting chapters up faster, I will be shortening the chapter length, hope you don't mind.

Princess Strawberry: I really should apologise to you the most, after all you were like my first reviewer, and I've taken AGES to bring out the next chapter, I am truly sorry, and I hope that you'll read more. Thank you sooo much for the review, and yes, bakura will be dead, but not in this chapter, the next one, kay? And no, Lyra's not super strong, but she's strong, and anyway, I know myself that if you hit a person in the right place, you can always bring them down!

AngelsKitten: thanks a bunch for the review, I'm glad you like it, hope you like this chapter!

Radical Aisha; hey, arigatou for the review, glad you like and oh, don't cry, see, I've updated, I know it's taken ages, but it's here!

Misura: arigatou! Oh, you like, makes me happy! Yeah, the different POVs made it easier to convey the other characters and yeah, yugi's very cute. Oh, I thought about what you said about Lyra, and she's not really that perfect, but I think this chapter will definitely show that she is so not perfect. Also, the whole legacy thing will be sorted out, but the jou thing will not for a couple more chapters, kay? Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 2: Talks of Pasts

Lyra and Yugi made their way out of the school and sat on an old wooden bench on the edge of a field.

"So Yugi," Lyra smiled as they sat down facing each other, "How about we get to know each other; why don't you begin?"

"Alright," Yugi nodded, and began to tell Lyra about his life. (A/N: please note that I don't know squat diddly about Yugi's past, so I'm pretty much making it up, gomen! Anyway this is AU, so I can make it up, aha! O_o)

He told her of how his parents died in a car crash when he was really young, so his grandfather, being his only other living relative, took him I and has been taking care of him ever since, of how he was always shy and slightly girlish features, and petit build, until he became friends with Jou, Anzu and Honda, in primary school and the four became best friends, until Honda died, and then it all fell apart, when, three years later, Anzu moved away to New York to attend a dance school and soon afterwards, Jou had simply disappeared without a trace, and it was after that, that everyone started picking on him, yet he just bore it all without crying or lashing out at them, simply because he didn't know how. Lyra growled as Yugi finished his story.

"Those bastards," she hissed, "I can't believe they'd do that, fucking bullies, I can't stand them. But don't worry Yugi, it'll get better, I know exactly what it's like to be bullied."

"You do?" Yugi asked incredulously, "But I thought you would have been really popular with a personality like yours."

Lyra gave a short bitter laugh before replying, "You'd think that, wouldn't you? It's taken me years to get a personality like that. I'm not perfect- I never will be. I started out pretty much like you. My mother died giving birth to me, so I never knew her. My dad works for some high-tech company and he has to move all around the world, dragging me with him of course, from city to city, country to country. I would barely spend a year in a school before I was off, and sometimes it was only a couple of months. Because I'm so small, and never got a chance to make any real friends, I was always really shy and withdrawn, and that's when the bullying started. At first it was stares or name-calling, but then it got physical. I took it all in my stride at first, just hiding my feelings, and crying them away at night, but then when I was about seven, I snapped. This boy had just pushed me to the ground, when I lost it. I grabbed his feet and swung him to the ground, then jumped n him, punching, scratching, even biting. It got pretty bloody, ad would have gotten worse if the teacher hadn't of come and separated us. The teacher knew I was being bullied, so I was let off with a just a warning."

"Wait, if the teachers knew you were being bullied, then why didn't they do anything?" Yugi asked in confusion.

"Because they don't give a shit," Lyra growled, "they knew that I would be on my way in a week or so, so they just ignored it, teachers are pretty good at turning a blind eye when they want, it's why I don't trust them. Anyway, from that day on, I was wild. I've always had a pretty short temper, but I try to hide it with messing, but back then I wouldn't. I was reckless, all it took was one name, and the person would be on the floor with me giving them a couple of kicks before walking away. That carried on until I was about eleven, from school to school I went, still withdrawn but really violent and wild- so much so, that I got a name for myself- Death's Angel- and for good reasons too. In those four years, I put one person in a coma for a week, six people in hospital, have broken more arms, legs and noses than I care to count, have been expelled from four schools, and nearly ended up in juvenile centre at one point. I probably would have killed someone, if it wasn't for Ryou," Lyra smiled briefly at the memory.

"Ryou?" Yugi asked, puzzled, "Who's he?"

"One of the best things that ever happened to me and one of my best friends too," Lyra replied, "I met him when I was eleven, when I moved to England. He was the first person to approach me, and was actually nice. For the first time in a long time, I felt happy, and I actually wanted to be friends with him, he was so sweet to me, and he knew exactly what I was going through- he had been bullied because he was gay, and still was being bullied. He never resorted to violence, even though he knew how to defend himself, yet he stood up for himself with such confidence, I really had to admire him for that. He helped me learn self-control, and brought me to his martial arts class. Seems I had a natural talent, I learned quickly, and managed to discipline myself into not going straight for the kill, but to only do what was needed to be safe. (A/N: this is what I learn in karate, so I'm just using it here!) I was always grateful to Ryou for his help, but I wanted to pay him back for everything he'd done, so I took on the head bullies of the school. I beat them all up, but I didn't do anything serious, and then I threatened them, telling them that if they didn't stop what they were doing, I'd come back and sort them out for good. Then I got the kids in the school to join together against the bullies to sop them once and for all, and unite the school. That was the start of my Legacy."

"Your Legacy?"

"Yeah, it's this thing I do in every school I go to. Basically, I try to get rid of the bullies. I find the most obvious ones and I deal with them, by challenging them or whatever it takes and then I will try to unite the school. It's difficult, with so many groups who really don't get along, but I try to show them that they all have something in common, its usually works. Say Yugi, how would you like to help me?"

"With your Legacy? I don't know, I don't think I'd be able to deal with bullies."

"Psshh, of course you would be able, you just need a little confidence!" Lyra exclaimed, frowning, "I totally will help you, just like Ryou helped me. All you need is confidence Yugi, you have it in you, you just need to bring it out, get it? Con-fi-dence," she finished, emphising each syllable by poking Yugi on the arm.

Yugi giggled as she poked him and Lyra grinned at the happiness that lit up his face, but then she frowned as she remembered that Bakura guy. She had to know who he was and who his friends were, then she'd be able to deal with them.

"Yugi, who was that Bakura guy anyway?" Lyra asked, "Does he pick on you a lot?"

Yugi's face suddenly darkened as he replied, "Yeah, he does, he picks on everyone, well, anyone who gets in his way, even the jocks are scared of him, he's crazy."

"Ah," was all Lyra said, but she cackled evilly in her mind.

'A crazy one, eh?' she thought to herself, 'Well, they're always more fun…'

"And his friends, who are they? Are they like him?"

"No, not really," Yugi answered, shaking his head, "The brown-haired guy's Seto. He's a bit cold and off-standish and really arrogant, but he just likes to order people around cause he's rich, he's the owner of Kaiba computer company."

"That's Seto Kaiba?" Lyra gasped, jaw dropping, "Holy shit."

"Yeah, that was everyone's first reaction," Yugi replied, rolling his eyes, "But he's a jerk, so they all get over it. The girl is Mai Valentine, she's pretty vicious, but only to guys who try to treat her like shit, and then she'll bitch about other girls and glare at them a lot, but she's only ever beaten one, simply cause the girl started a fight with her. The leader, the purple and blond haired one is Yami," At this Yugi's voice changed, and Lyra noticed how his expression softened, and he had a dreamy look in his eyes, "He's never touched anyone; he'll watch with a grin, but he never does anything himself. He's a bit distant, and he could flatten a person with just one glare."

"So, you like him, eh?" Lyra grinned wickedly.

Yugi blushed a deep crimson that nearly matched his hair and he gave a little squeak of, "How's you know?"

"I'm psychic, and hey, no need to be embarrassed, now I can play matchmaker," Lyra cackled in a playful way.

Yugi groaned, his hands reaching up to cover his face.

"I'm not going to escape this am I?" was his muffled question.

"Nope," Lyra grinned, as the bell rang, "Come on, it's lunchtime, lets go to our lockers, and you can show me around a bit before we go to the cafeteria."

Yugi nodded, and stood, walking alongside Lyra back into the school for the beginning of their new friendship.

Oksie-doksie, that's the chapter done, finally, and to tell you the truth it's very crap, so if you wanna flame, go ahead, I need something to help me with my anzu bashing! Pleeze review, I need feedback to survive and feed my imagination, as I'm too poor and lazy to go out and buy Robinsons! Farethee well! ^_^
