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: 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.
Disclaimer: I can't believe I forgot this I am sooo sorry! *shakes head* god I'm such a scatter brain, but here it is: me no own, me just a fangirl with a love of yaoi, I'm just borrowing the characters, I swear!

Chapter Three: Lunchtime Goings On
"You did WHAT!" Yami yelled furiously, his face twisted in anger, and his eyes flashing menacingly.
"Geez Yami, no need to get so pissed," Bakura growled, cringing slightly at Yami's angered expression, as he clutched his head, "I already have on killer headache, and besides, how was I supposed to know who she was? I mean, Mai just said she was Lyra something or other, so how was I supposed to know this pipsqueak shouting at me was her?"
Because she was helping Yugi- nobody helps Yugi!" Mai cried in exasperation, "I tell you that Yugi has a friend at a time when no one cares about him, and then this person, this person, you've never seen before, just pops out of no where, defending him, and you can't figure it ou? Come on, how stupid can you get?!!"
"I was caught up in the moment," Bakura cried defensively, "I mean everything was happening too fast for me to think, let alone figure anything out."
"Still, you knew someone was looking out for him, why the hell couldn't you have just kept your hands off him?"
"He bumped into me," Bakura muttered, still rubbing his sore jaw.
"So you tried to beat the shit out of him?" Yami thundered, "You seriously need to learn to keep your temper in check Bakura."
"Well at least we won't have to beat you up, it seems Lyra has that nicely covered," Mai smirked, obviously enjoying Bakura's torment.
"Shut up, you stupid b-" Bakura began, when Seto suddenly appeared beside them, asking, "What's up with all the shouting, what's going on?"
"Oh, Bakura beat up Yugi and now Yugi's off with some girl who's going to get in Yami's way of getting Yugi," Mai informed Seto, as they walked through the halls from their lockers.
"You mean that you have all known about a potential enemy, and didn't bother telling me?" Seto asked in mock shock, before pouting and adding, "I feel hurt."
"Quit being such a drama queen," Bakura growled, while Mai rolled her eyes.
"Fine fine, just tell me what's going on," Seto sighed with a shrug.
Mai told Seto the whole story: about Lyra's attempts to befriend Yugi and her actions in class, about her own warning to Yami and Bakura, and then about Bakura trying to beat Yugi to a pulp, which resulted in Lyra turning the tables by beating Bakura up and befriending Yugi.
"Well, I must say this is interesting," Seto smirked, "Us, the so-called 'bullies' and 'rebels' of the school, now suddenly enemies with, 'Death's Angel,' she who gets rid of bullies."
"Death's Angel?" Yami queried, "You mean, you know about her?"
"Of course," Seto said, in a matter-of-fact tone, "I have friends in different schools around the world, plus with my computer system I can learn just about anything about anyone. For instance, our Ms. Flynn is quite interesting. At the moment, she's got this whole 'get rid of the bullies,' thing going, called her 'legacy.' She takes on the bullies and gets rid of them, and finds a way to unite the whole school, so that they can't pick on anyone again. She's been doing this for six years, since she was eleven, and she's damn good at this, being practically 100% effective in the schools she's been to."
"Well that can't be good for us," Bakura muttered glumly, contemplating the situation, "But I still don't get the whole 'Death's Angel,' thing."
"Ah, now that name comes from her earlier years, before her legacy. Apparantly, she got bullied pretty badly, and while she was usually pretty withdrawn and isolated, it seems one day she just snapped. Suddenly she was wild and vicious- even more so than our dear Bakura here." Seto continued, as Yami whistled, Mai's eyes widened in shock, and Bakura let out a low chocking sound, apparently annoyed that anyone could be crazier than him, "She managed to put a guy three years older than her in a coma for a week, put six people in hospital for serious injuries and has broken loads of arms, legs and god knows what else. Then she went to England, and suddenly she changed, and her legacy started in that country."
"What happened, how did she change, what made her different?" Yami asked.
"No one really knows," Seto shrugged, "only that she made friends with this guy called Ryou, and all I could get about him was a picture. Come to think of it, he looks a lot like you Bakura, in the same way that the kid looks like Yami."
"Really? Wow, that's just soooooo interesting," Bakura replied, his voice laced with sarcasm, yet the sentence, 'You kinda remind me of a friend had back in Englad,' echoed in the back of his mind.
"Hey, no need to be so grouchy," Mai frowned, then turned to Yami, "So what are you going to do now, Mr- I-can-go-to-the-kid-whenever-I-want-to, eh?"
"I suppose I'd better talk to him and Lyra," Yami replied uncertainly.
"Good idea; you know, Lyra would make a pretty good friend along with the kid," Mai stated thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Bakura cried, "Are you out of your head woman? She tried to beat me up!"
"Exactly!" Mai cried in triumph, "come on guys, let's see now: she's fresh, she's spunky, she can kick ass, as we've seen with Bakura," she smirked as Bakura glared at her and growled, "and most importantly of all, she's close to the kid! Plus we could do with her on our side with her whole legacy thing."
"So, you mean we use her?" Seto asked, trying to grasp what Mai was talking about.
"No, never!" Mai snorted, "I know this type; she's a lot like me: she doesn't take any shit. If you even so much as attempt a double-crossing, she will see right through you and back off immediately, her revenge already planned in her mind. If we are making friends with her, it has to be an honest attempt. Personally, I think this is a really good idea."
"Sure, cause you came up with it," Seto muttered.
"Of course, duh!" Mai rolled her eyes, "But you've no other choice Yami, Bakura's after screwing it all up, it's going to be hard from now on."
"Yeah, don't think I've forgotten that Bakura," Yami growled, anger flaring up inside him, while Bakura sighed and muttered, "Thanks a bunch Mai," as the group made their way into the cafeteria.
********
"Alright, so that was the computer and science block of the school," Yugi cheerfully explained to Lyra, as they walked along the hall, "So now you should pretty much have the lay-out of the school."
"Yeah, that was great, thanks Yugi," Lyra smiled, "So, where does everyone usually hang around during lunch?"
"Well, most people usually go to the cafeteria, and so does Yami and the others."
"And you?" Lyra smirked, wiggling her eyebrows.
Yugi blushed again, but managed to keep his voice calm as he answered, "I usually sit outside, seeing as it's nice and sunny."
"Ah, good plan, I like sitting outside myself, cafeteria's from my experience and way too stuffy, plus the food is usually gross."
"I know what you mean, most people bring their own lunch here, it saves hassle."
"So where do all the other groups hang out?" Lyra asked, looking around the mostly empty hall.
"Oh, you'll find a lot of them outside, here, I'll show you on the way to our lockers," Yugi told her, turning and making his way out of the big double doors out into the big courtyard; which was mostly a grassy field, with a path running around it. There were steps leading down to the path, and all the rockers and Goths were gathered on and around the steps, while some dances and head-banged to loud music, with a heavy beat that sent vibrations through the ground.
Lyra started bobbing her head to the music, and called, "Hey, who's that Adema?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?" a guy with spiked black and blue hair answered, in a slightly surprised tone, "Not a lot of people have heard of them." (A/N: kay, I don't know if a lot of people know about them or not, it's just my friend gave me a loan of their album and I went crazy over it, but then I couldn't find it in Virgin)
"Oh, I'm a fan, I love their album," Lyra replied, the guys on the bass and electric are excellent, aren't they?"
"Yeah, the band's really good, plus they're all totally cute," the guy smirked.
"Hellya, they are all so hot!" Lyra cried, "You have great taste man!"
"I know," the guy smirked, shrugging, "You're cool, what's your name?"
"Lyra," Lyra replied, "What about you?"
"Alex," the guy replied, "I'll c-ya around."
"Yeah, c-ya," Lyra waved, as her and Yugi continued on.
"That was so cool, you just suddenly became friends with him, how'd you do that?" Yugi gaped at her.
"I talked to him and had confidence, anyone can do it, even you, I mean, you used to do it before, didn't you?"
"Yeah, I suppose…" Yugi trailed off.
"No, not suppose, it's a yes. All you need is to release that confidence, I know it's there inside you, you just gotta bring it out, alright?" Lyra stated fiercely.
"Alright," Yugi smiled, finding himself feeling a little bit more confident already, "The rappers and hip-hoppers are over there," he continued, pointing across the way, opposite the rockers. They were standing in a big crowd, screaming different chants, such as, "Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho!" and "I say do, you say what, do! What! Do! What!" while various people made their way into the middle of the crowd to perform different moves for the hyped-up teens. Lyra and Yugi made their way into the crowd to watch a girl dancing.
"This song is really good, but that girl is doing all the wrong moves, they just don't flow properly with the beat," Yugi muttered to Lyra, frowning at the girl dancing.
"You mean, you know how to dance hip-hop?" Lyra asked, turning to Yugi in surprise, who nodded, replying, "Yeah, I've been taking lessons sinse I was five, my granddad thought it would be a good way for me to make friends, and it's where I met Anzu."
"Great," Lyra grinned, cackling evilly in her mind, her eyes lighting up in mischief.
Yugi recognised the look in her eyes all too late, as she pushed him into the ring, shouting, "my friend wants to dance!"
The girls in the centre looked at him surprisedly for a moment, before she shrugged and dutifully left the ring, while Yugi, slightly shaking, slowly looked around him, as he started to turn red. To his surprise, although a few people were looking at him scornfully, most people just seemed to be waiting expectantly, wanting to see what he would do, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Lyra, who gave him and encouraging smile, and then a look that said, "Go on and do it!" Feeling calm, Yugi smiled, and then suddenly threw himself into the beat, feeling himself just flow away with the music. He loved dancing, when he was he could be just another person, whoever he wanted to be as he lost himself in the music, forgetting all his troubles as he jumped, spun and twisted and turned his body this was and that, spinning on his back and his hands, his legs working in a circular motion as he moved, finishing with a summersault. The crowd went wild, screaming and cheering, shouting things like, "You da bomb!" as Yugi made his way over to the edge of the ring, blughing slightly and smiling broadly.
"Man, that was so cool, you're such a great dancer!" the girl who was in the centre befor Yugi yelled, clapping him on the back.
"Thanks," Yugi nodded, "You were really good too."
"Nah," the girl shook her head, making a face, "I wasn't getting into it properly, I sucked big time."
"No really, you were good, all you need to do is let yourself relax a little, some of your moves were just a bit too rigid, if you let loose, they'd flow much better."
"Yeah, you're right, thanks!" the girl cried, thrusting out her hand, "Name's Kirsten."
"Yugi," Yugi replied, shaking her hand.
"Cool, well, I'll c-ya around Yugi."
"Yeah, c-ya," Yugi called, as he walked off up to Lyra.
"See, now that wasn't so bad, was it?" Lyra smiled happily as they continued on.
"No, it wasn't, and I made a friend, thanks a lot Lyra," Yugi smiled in reply.
"All in a day's work," Lyra smirked, "And I suppose these are the cheerleaders and jocks?" she asked, pointing to where the cheerleaders, in their blue and white miniskirts and halter tops were practicing their routines, while the footballers messed around with each other or lazed about on the grass.
"Yeah, that's them," Yugi growled slightly, his fist clenching.
"Hey, don't worry, we'll get them, I promise," Lyra said gently, putting her hand on his shoulder, "though they can't all be that bad, can they?"
"No, some are alright," Yugi said softly, "There's Marik and his sister Isis, there she is over there."
Lyra looked over to where Yugi was pointing, to see a tanned, black haired girl practising with a baton. She would twirl it around her wrists, neck and waist, tossing it up and catching it with her foot or on the back of her hand, and Yugi and Lyra watched impressed as she went through her routine, yet one part always seemed to catch her out. It was when she'd flip the baton up using her foot, and then flip, landing ready to catch it, yet she was always too far ahead. The two teens watched her try to catch it again and again for a few minutes before Lyra called out, "Try flipping backwards!"
Isis looked up, startled, frowning at the shouting girl, wondering who she was and what she was doing with that loner kid, but nevertheless, picked up the baton, and tossed it into the air again, only this time she flipped backwards, and caught the baton the first time. Smiling in delight, she looked up at Lyra and waved, shouting, "Thanks!"
"No problem!" Lyra shouted back, waving.
She turned to continue on, when a footballer who was sitting near Isis caught her eye. He had been watching the cheerleader practise, but now his gaze was focused on her. He had shoulder-length, spikey blond hair and light lilac eyes that lit up as he tilted his head and flashed her a smile. Lyra smiled back, then turned her head as a blush crept up on her cheeks.
"What happened, why are you blushing?" Yugi asked, as he looked around, then smirked as he caught sight of the blond-haired footballer who was still looking at Lyra, "Oh, so you like Marik, eh?"
"Who? Marik, who's Marik?" Lyra asked confusedly, still blushing.
"The footballer you were smiling at, that's Marik, Isis' brother," Yugi smirked, "Guess I get to play matchmaker too."
"Oh no, that's not fair!" Lyra cried, "Look at this, I barely know you a day and I've turned you into a monster!"
"Not monster, matchmaker," Yugi corrected her, "And I can't have you going around having all the fun, now can I?"
"Suppose no," Lyra sighed, "Come on, let's get to our lockers."
"The two made their way across the courtyard and back into the school building and up some stairs to their lockers, first to Lyra's and then back down the stairs to Yugi's.
"Cafeteria's just down this hall," Yugi told Lyra, "We can get our drinks and then go out and sit."
"Alright," Lyra grinned, "I'll race ya, come on!"
With that, the two set off racing down the hall, laughing and pushing each other playfully, unaware of the hornet's nest they were about to literally run into, with all it's impending doom waiting.
************
"Would you two stop fighting, you're giving me a headache," Mai complained from across the table where she and Seto were sitting across from Yami and Bakura, who were glaring angrily at each other, neither refusing to back down.
"Yeah, and all that glaring has got to be bad for your eye-sight," Seto added stoically.
"Maybe if Bakura would be able to keep his temper in check…" Yami hissed through gritted teeth.
"Maybe if Yami would stop acting like such a god-damn bloody mother hen…" Bakura growled.
"Maybe if the two of you would stop acting like such babies-" Mai began to suggest, but was interrupted by Yami and Bakura shouting, "Shut up Mai!" and resuming to glare at each other.
The rest of the cafeteria was silent, nobody daring to make a single sound, barely breath, and all eyes were all glued on the group in the centre. Everyone was frozen in action, food poised in front of mouths, which were gaping open, two people who had been fighting over a bottle, were now clenching it over a table, poised, frozen, half on the chairs and half on the table, watching the glaring teens, the whole cafeteria had been frozen in action; their eyes bulging, ever since the group had stormed into the room. Nobody dared to disturb them, they were the powerful ones of the school, if they were interrupted, god knows what they would do, so everyone remained frozen, silent as corpses. Suddenly, there was a collective jump and gasp and some uttered squeals from the cafeteria crowd as the doors to the room were thrown open with a bang and two teens ran in laughing and gasping for breath, panting, "I won, I won!" After a few moments, they became aware of the all-pervading silence that filled the giant room, and they looked up to see everyone staring at them. Yugi started to turn red, but Lyra simply rolled her eyes as she spotted the cause for all the silence: Yami and the rest sitting in the middle, apparently fighting by the glares and shocked faces they sent her. Sending the cafeteria a glare and Yami a challenging sneer, she muttered, "Come on," to Yugi, and the two friends laughed, making their way out of the cafeteria, not bothering with their drinks, as they sat down beside a tree in the middle of the field..
Yami couldn't believe it, just as they were in the middle of an argument, who should walk in but the two people they were fighting about! Oh, and Yugi looked so beautiful, his face flushed and his eyes twinkling with happiness…. Yami suddenly realised that that was the first time in years nearly that he had seen Yugi smile, well, show any emotion, typically, he had this mask of unemotional boredom on his face as he walked around the school, getting picked on from everyside, even his own. Suddenly, Yami had a sick, empty feeling in his stomach, as he realised that he was one of the ones who caused the unemotional mask, and he never knew if he'd be able to bring that look of joy to his beloved's face. 'Well, I'm going to fucking try,' he thought determinedly, 'I'll bring Yugi happiness no matter what!'
"Did you just see what she did!" Bakura said furiously.
"She just totally ignored us!" Seto added in outrage.
"See what I told you? Spunk," Mai stated proudly.
"Seems like I'll have to go talk to them," Yami sighed, remembering the challenging look that accompanied the sneer Lyra had sent him, as he stood and began to make his way outside to face the one who blocked the path to the one he loved.
Hey, all done, huzza! So, waddaya think, yay or nay, good or bad? Only one way to tell: review, pleeze! It only has to be a short thing and I really appreciate them, seeing as I use them to feed my imagination! Must dash, farethee well! ^_^
