SYMBOLS /.../ Yugi //...// Yami ... Joey ... Seto
The Gift of Friendship Chapter 2:
Yugi awoke the next morning, and got up to take a shower. He pulled on his school uniform and ran downstairs. It was 6:45; school would start in about an hour and a half so the kids wouldn't be getting there for at least another hour.
Yugi walked out of the Game shop locking the door behind him. His grandpa wasn't up yet, so he had to lock the door. Yugi started walking down the sidewalk as he looked up at the sky. His brilliant amethyst eyes shun in the moon light.
"Gee...I wish I didn't have to go to school today."
"And why would dat be?"
Yugi froze and turned around slowly. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite catch who it belonged to.
"Relax, it's only me."
Yugi looked up to see Joey standing there with a lopsided grin. "Hey, Yug' care to share."
Yugi gave him a confused look, and kept on walking. "Gee...you can at least allow me to walk with ya."
Yugi stopped, "why would you wanna do that?"
Joey shrugged, "Why wouldn't I?"
Yugi looked back up into the pre-dawn sky. He tugged on his bag and pulled it so that it was in front of him. "Look, I don't have much to offer but take whatever you want." He said shoving his bag into Joey's arms.
Joey noticing Yugi's gestures looked down, "what the hell is wrong with you?"
Yugi looked puzzled, "you're going to beat me up and take my stuff, so I figured, I'll just let you take whatever you want and avoid getting beat up."
"What makes you think I'm gonna hit you, didn't we help you yesterday?"
Yugi shrugged again, pulling his back pack back over his shoulder and kept on walking. "You used to pick on me all the time."
Joey ran to catch up with Yugi. "Ya, but I'm different now, you gotta believe me, I'm sorry I hurt ya."
Yugi smiled and looked up at Joey, "all is forgiven!"
Joey sighed a breath of relief. "So Yug' what ya doing goin' to school so early and why do you not wanna go?"
Yugi kept his gaze fixed on the sky, watching as the moon started to fade out in the early morning sun. "I always go to school this early to avoid..."
"Say no more, I'm really sorry bud." Joey shook his head and stared down at Yugi with a sincere look on his face, but the boy just shrugged once again.
"So Joey, how come you're here, usually you are always late for class, let alone this early."
"Ya, I like ta sleep in, but Yami told me to meet him at school early." He yawned proving his point.
Yugi blushed a little when he heard Yami's name being said.
"Hey, speakin' of Yami he's right ova' dere, come on, your welcome to stay with us." He smirked in his head.
He had actually called Yami, and planned the whole thing with Seto. They were supposed to lock them in a janitor's closet or something, together.
Joey grabbed Yugi's hand and ran over to Yami, "Hey Yami, ova' here!"
Yugi began to blush more at the sight of Yami. He was wearing a sleeveless leather top. It was blue and had buckles on it. It showed off his well toned muscles. He wore matching leather pants and a neck buckle which completed the ensemble.
Yugi began to drool in his head. /Oh my gosh, he looks so...WOW! /
"Earth to Yugi, anybody in there?" Joey flashed his hand in front of Yugi's face. Yugi shook his head, regaining his senses, "Huh, ya what?"
Yami laughed a deep, rich laugh, as Yugi began to turn a deep shade of red.
/God! His voice is so sexy! /
"So, Joey why'd you call m..." Joey clamped his hand over Yami's mouth.
Yugi looked at Yami quizzically, and Yami did the same to Joey. oh no, what do I do?
As if on cue, one of Kaiba's limo pulled up in front of the school, yes, Seto, he's here
Kaiba climbed out of the limo, and made his way to the trio. "Hey, Yami did you get my message, I asked Joey to umm... tell you to meet us here." This wasn't supposed to happen.
Yami raised one eyebrow and looked at Kaiba, "really? And why would that be?"
Yugi stood beside Joey, but still at a safe distance. He to wanted to know what was going on. He wasn't quite sure that Joey was outside his house, coincidentally.
Joey stuttered as Yami kept a watchful eye on him and one on Kaiba. Seto being one who liked to keep his cool, tried not to stutter either, but he couldn't help it. My boyfriend is a bimbo; he was supposed to lure Yami into the school without noticing Yugi
"Um..." Seto stuttered again. oh, no what are we going to do? What are we going to do?
"Hey Yugi; it's good to see you again. And Yami we called you here just wanted to apologize about yesterday."
"Huh?" Joey, Seto and Yami looked up, to see Trinity standing there with a smug look on her face.
he he....it's Trinity to the rescue. Joey grinned, "Ya, man we a...wanted to apologize for teasin' ya yestaday."
Seto burst out laughing, "Ya, what he said."
Yami groaned, "You're all a bunch of idiots you know that."
"Hey, only some of us are idiots, I'm insulted that you would compare me to those to imbeciles." Trinity shot a glare at Seto and Joey.
Kaiba glared right back at her, he would've said something, but she had a point they had messed up the plan big time. If it weren't for her, well let's just say Yami would have their heads chopped off already.
"Hey, ya mind repeatin' dat Trin'?"
"I'd love to but your brain is way too microscopic to understand what I'm saying." She flashed Yugi a smile.
Yugi smiled back at her, though he was as confused as ever. He looked over at Yami; he seemed to be amused by Trinity and Joey's arguments. He then turned his back and began to walk into a secluded nook, which he went to every morning before the bell rung.
Yami noticed his little look-alike walk away. //I wonder where he's going//
He began to follow the little one leaving his friends behind, to argue.
Yugi walked over to the Sakura tree in the corner behind the school and sat down. Yami watched him closely. "Mind if I sit down?"
Yugi looked up to face Yami a bit startled, "umm...sure if you want to."
Yami walked over and sat down next to Yugi. "So you always come to school this early?"
He shrugged, "I guess."
Yami looked up at the tree, it was nearing spring, but it was still pretty chilly outside. The Sakura tree was starting to bloom, it was beautiful. It reminded him so much of the beauty sitting next to him.
Yugi looked over at Yami, noting the silence. "The tree is beautiful isn't it?" He stood up attempting to touch the lower limbs of the tree, but he was to short.
Yami stood up next to him. //it's not as beautiful as you// He reached to the lowest limb and bent it down a little so Yugi could touch it.
The petals brushed lightly across Yugi's cheek as he giggled. //cute//
Yugi opened his mouth to thank Yami when he heard someone call his companion's name.
"Hey Yami, wat up?"
Yami and Yugi turned around to see Bakura and Marik, two more of Yami's posse. Followed by his quarrelling friends; Seto, Joey and Trinity.
"Hey guys! This is..." Yami started only to be cut off by Bakura and Marik.
"Why you hangin' out with that chump Yami?"
"Ya, does the little boy miss his mommy or something?" Marik and Bakura began to snicker.
Yugi looked up at Yami and then over to his friends, as tears filled his eyes. He then picked up his backpack and ran into the school.
Yami watched as Yugi ran away. He tried calling to him, but to no avail. Then he turned to Bakura and Marik, and growled.
Teeth clenched and his hand in a fist, "What the hell is wrong with you fuckin' idiots he didn't do shit to you. You're both a bunch of stupid assholes." He grabbed his bag and stormed toward the school as the bell rung for class.
"Great, watch him go and tell the teacher on us, stupid crybaby."
Bakura and Marik shrugged, and turned around.
"What the fuck? You say I'm cold hearted, well at least I don't go around insulting poor innocent kids, you imbeciles." Seto walked off, followed by his boyfriend who gave the two friends a death glare.
"Sheesh, what's their problem you'd think they were PMSing or something, hey Trin'?" They turned to face their female friend.
"You're a couple of dumbasses you know that?" She then turned her back and walked gracefully towards the school.
Marik and Bakura just kept on grinning. "Fine, then I guess these to dumbasses aren't smart enough for school."
"Wanna skip?"
"Like you have to ask."
The two skipped off school premises and made on their way. "Gee...and they say were dumbasses? Whoa! I got a kick out of that one." They began to laugh like Bevis and Butthead as they made their way down the road.
^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
It was nearing lunch time and Yami was sitting there, twitching and fiddling with his pencil. //God, I bet Yugi hates me now, and I can't even see him 'cause I have no fuckin' clue what classes he's in//
He rested his head in his arms and sighed. //stupid sensei, is he done talking yet? //
Yami was in Geography class at the moment, and his sensei, Mr. Sakuya kept on babbling on about some population density crap, that he didn't give two shits about. So he decided to think about the possible classes that Yugi might take, or maybe he might be in some of his friend's classes. He closed his eyes and began to think.
Unbeknownst to Yami the teacher was standing in front of his desk. He took his ruler and slammed it on Yami's desk. "AHEM! I see you're awake Mr. Moto" (A/n: I don't know what the hell Yami's last name is. Pharaoh boy perhaps? Yami Pharaoh Boy, NAH!)
Yami jerked up as he felt a rule smack his desk. "Well, it seems as if someone chose to sleep during my class. Tell me Mr. Moto how is that you can manage to stay awake in every other class, be on the basketball team, football team, hockey team and the volleyball team, yet you can't manage to stay awake in my class?"
"Maybe it's because you bore me to sleep." Yami rolled his eyes as the guys in the class began to snicker, and the girls began to giggle and look at him all starry-eyed.
"Really, now Mr. Moto well, let's see if you can manage to stay awake during your detention tonight with me."
"I can't I've got something to do."
"Well, you should have thought of that before you decided to disrespect me."
"I wasn't flippin' disrespecting anyone; I had a god damn headache. Is that a crime?"
"No, Mr. Moto the last time I checked it wasn't, but did you not tell be that I bore you to sleep?"
"Does the word sarcasm mean anything to you?" The class began to snicker again.
"That's it go to the office young man; I will see you there during your lunch hour."
Yami starred at the teacher, his crimson eyes turning a deeper shade of crimson. "What? I didn't do anything, I have head ache what don't you understand about that?"
"That's it I've been all but patient with you, if you have a head ache got to the God damn nurse's office, I don't have time to put up with delinquents who want nothing but to interrupt my class just to get attention. Now get out of my class and don't come back until you get your attitude checked."
Yami glared at him, "All you friggin' teachers are fucked up dammit."
He gathered his things and stormed down the hallway mumbling something about how shitty the teachers were.
Yami, still fuming turned the corner and collided with another student who apparently wasn't paying attention either. The two boys fell to the ground. Yami rubbed his head and kept his eyes squeezed shut. "Watch where, the fuck you're going." Trying hard not to explode, of anger.
When he didn't hear anything or anyone make any attempt to get away he open his eyes, to find a pair of amethyst orbs starring straight at him, wide eyed and brimmed with tears.
"Y...Yugi?"
Yugi picked himself off the floor and tried to get away again, only to be stopped by a firm hand on his thin wrist.
"Yugi I didn't mean.... I didn't know it was you."
Yugi tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. "So...so if it were anyone else it would be o.k.?" He asked courageously, twisting his wrist out of Yami's grasp.
Yami was taken a back by the little ones attempt to stand up to him. Not many people were brave enough to do that.
"No, I guess you're right I'm sorry."
Yugi stepped back a little afraid. /is Yami, the most popular guy at school apologizing to me? /
"What's wrong?" Yami asked quickly hoping he didn't offend the boy in any way.
"Why are you being nice to me?"
Yami looked hurt. "Why wouldn't I be, I've got nothing against you."
"No, but you're friends do."
Yami wrinkled his nose a bit confused, by what he was saying, though he did understand where Yugi was coming from. "What does it matter what they say," he asked.
"Because, you're all the same," he shot back raising his voice slightly.
Yami's stood silently staring at Yugi as if he were stupid or something.
Yugi stood there waiting for something, anything to happen, but when Yami refused to speak he pushed himself past Yami and hurried back to class, leaving the taller boy there to think about what he had just said.
//I can't believe he thinks I'm like those two insensitive jackasses// He shook his head and looked around for Yugi. //Great, now he's gone and it's all my fuckin' fault//
He slammed his fist into the nearest locker, leaving a dent, as he stormed off for the third time that day.
^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
As the lunch bell rung the students piled out if the class rooms and headed to there lockers, then made their way to the school cafeteria.
Yugi held his lunch bag tightly in his hand. He stopped bringing money a while ago, afraid that someone would beat him up for it so instead he packed his lunched everyday.
Yugi scanned the room looking for an exit that wasn't blocked by the cheerleaders or any of the cool people. Finally he saw a door leading outside. It was chilly out but he didn't care. He pushed his way through the crowds of people making his way to the door, which wasn't very hard considering his size.
Finally he reached the door. He took a deep breath and sighed. /free, at last/
"Hey, little boy, give me your lunch money." Yugi swallowed and turned around to face Maiko the school bully, (well he bullied everyone except Yami and his crew, considering he knew he'd get his ass kicked)
"I...I don't have any lunch money see." Yugi stuttered holding up his brown paper bag.
Maiko hit his paper bag on the floor, "to bad...'cause now you're gonna have to pay."
Yugi gulped he knew what this meant; he was going to get the living hell knocked out of him.
"Hey Maiko why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
Maiko turned to face Trinity. She walked up to Maiko, standing very close to him. "Owee, someone is in desperate need of a tic tac."
Maiko blushed, he was embarrassed. He had liked Trinity for sometime now and he didn't wanna be all up in her act if he was to have a chance with her. "Trinity stay out of this."
"Listen Maiko, Hun' I'm really not in the mood to be bitched around by you or anyone else, so put Yugi down and leave him the hell alone." She replied dryly.
"Yo, I'm just having some fun chill."
"And I'm gonna have fun with your face in a minute if you don't leave him the fuck alone."
"Why you defending this freak anyways?"
"Boy, don't make me bring my whip out on you." She smirked jokingly.
"What are you my mother?" He grinned, he was enjoying this.
"Trust, me if I were your mother I would've committed suicide long time ago." She replied bitterly.
Maiko's face fell, "OH bitch don't be talkin' about my mama like that."
"Then don't me bitchen around my brother like that."
"You mean this kid is you're brother?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out, now you gonna put him down or am I gonna have to punish you when you get home." (A/n: meaning she'll have her crew waitin' outside his house when he gets home, ready to kick some bullying ass! Booya! Deepest apologies I'm high on sugar right about now, and no she isn't Yugi's brother she just means friend brother, plus I didn't know what to say. SORRY!)
"Alright, alright calm yourself, so Trin' what ya doin' this..."
"Stop right there. Don't even try and ask me out on a date when you were just pickin' on my lil' buddy over here just a second ago."
"But I..."
"A...Stop don't even go there with me boy."
"b...but"
"blah, blah, blah I ain't listening." She said mockingly this time she was just joking around with him, and he knew it.
"Trin' come on, I'm sorry look I'm sorry, I'm on my frigin' knees."
"Hey, apologize to Yugi not to me bud."
Maiko glared at her, only to have her wink back at him. He groaned. "Damn you." He turned on his knees and began to beg, rolling his eyes. "Please forgive me."
Yugi couldn't help but laugh. This was something he definitely wasn't used to. He looked up at Trinity, she was laughing too, obviously enjoying herself, she turned to Yugi and winked. He smiled back at her. "Um...ya, I forgive you."
Maiko got up off his knees and turned to Trinity, "so you wanna go out with me now?"
Then he realized that the whole cafeteria was silent he turned and looked around. Everyone had there eyes glued on him, and then they started laughing. Maiko glared at them, noting that Yami and his crew were standing less than 5 feet away from him. "WHAT?" he screamed.
The whole cafeteria fell silent. Yami shot him a death glare. One that meant you do anything to Trinity and you're a dead man.
Maiko gulped and turned back to Trinity, he knew that Yami and her were tight but damn. "So...umm...will you?"
Trinity stared back at him as if she were bored out of her mind, which she was.
"Well?"
"Well what?" she replied hastily.
"Will you go out with me? I apologized to the runt."
Trinity looked past Maiko shoulder and caught Yami's eye it matched the colour of blood perfectly.
"Na min' you're on your own, bud"
"But I apologized."
"I don't fuckin' care; don't go pissin' me off like that Maiko like I said I ain't in the mood."
She bent down picked up Yugi's lunch and pushed her way through the double doors, Yugi in tail behind her.
Maiko started to fume, "AHHHHH!!! That girl is so flippin' impossible."
He spun around and stomped out of the cafeteria, hearing the whole student body, laughing at his expense. /I'm gonna kill that stupid little midget, I was so close to getting Trinity and he had to go and screw everything up/
^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Trinity walked out of the cafeteria. "Hey, Yug' you aight bud?"
Yugi started to giggle. Trinity walked up to an old oak tree, "are you laughing at me?"
"No, no it's just that." He began to laugh again. Trinity watched him, //hmm...Yami was right he is adorable, he reminds me so much of my own little brother//
As if Yugi were reading her mind, he turned to her, and smiled. "Trinity?"
"Yes, Yugi?"
"What did you mean back there about me being your brother and all?"
"I'm sorry Yugi, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."
"Not at all, it's just that no one has ever you know said something nice like that about me before."
She shrugged, "I don't know it's just that, you remind me so much of my baby brother, Dameon."
"Really, how, I mean you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"No, you see my brother he was always so optimistic and cheerful just like you. He was great at duel monsters and he was just as adorable."
Yugi blushed. "He 'was'?"
"Hmn...he was turning ten and he was in the car with my mom and dad coming down here to Dominio, they got into a car accident, that was almost a year ago. My parent's and my brother died that day." Tear were forming in her eyes now.
Yugi looked up at her. "I...I'm sorry."
"Its o.k." she replied drying her tears. "Yami and the others have always been there for me, I love them so much, especially Yami, he's like an older brother to me, always watching out for me. He's a really nice guy, but a lot of people are afraid of him."
Yugi blushed. "I'm sure he is."
"You know Yugi you're a great guy too. Don't worry about what those stupid asses say. Bakura and Marik and Maiko they're all a bunch of dipshits you know?"
Yugi couldn't help but laugh. /she's nice I like her, I wish I could talk to Yami like this/
"Hey, Yug' I got book it, that stupid science teacher is giving me shit about my lab write-up, later."
"Bye Trin'"
She got up and ran off, just as Yami passed through the door. She patted him one the shoulder. "Good Luck bud!"
Yami nodded his head in acknowledgement to his best friend. He walked over to Yugi, "mind if I sit down?"
Yugi looked up at Yami and scooted over to make room for him. Yami sat down next to him. "So..."
"So what..." Yugi asked.
Yami stared at him, "Ouch." He put his hand over his heart. "That hurt." He smiled at Yugi.
Yugi giggled. "You're silly!"
Yami grinned, "Are you making fun of me."
Yugi shook his head. "Yami, I didn't mean what I said in the hall."
"Don't worry 'bout it Yug'"
"Really?"
Yami nodded his head, "Yugi are you...do you hate me and my friends?"
Yugi looked shocked, "why would I hate you? Trinity and Joey and Kaiba they're all really nice people. Trinity even said I remind her of her brother!"
Yami smiled at Yugi's enthusiasm. "Does someone have a crush?" He joked, hoping it weren't true.
Yugi just laughed causing Yami to laugh as well. "Jealous?"
Yami stopped laughing, "w-wh-what do you mean?"
"Do you like Trinity?" Yugi asked, giggling.
Yami shut up completely. //he thinks I like Trinity? I mean ya I like he but it's not like I'm in love with the girl she's like my sister//
Yugi stopped laughing and looked at the blank expression on Yami's face. "Yami, did....did I say something wrong?" He asked worriedly.
Yami snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Yugi, "No, no you didn't say anything wrong." Yami got up and stretched, and then he reached down and offered a hand to Yugi. Yugi took it gratefully. "Thanks."
"Yugi, Trinity told you about her brother right?"
"Yes, she did, how'd you know?"
Yami got lost in his thought's again. "Yami?"
"Huh? Oh you mentioned it before remember? You know she loves her brother more than anything in the world. I guess that why she adores you."
Yugi nodded silently, wanting to hear more. "She would do anything to make sure you're safe, because you act a lot like him, and you're just as cute and sweet as he was too."
Yugi blushed and urged Yami to go on. He still wanted to know if Yami had a crush on Trinity, or if there was a chance for him, in Yami's heart.
"I love Trinity, with all my heart, because she is so kind and caring, she's like the sister I never had, and well I'm glad that we met you because, you seem to make her a lot more happier than I've seen her in a while." Yami smiled down at Yugi. //and you make me a whole lot happier too little one//
Yugi smiled as Yami finished talking and hugged him. Yami blushed he wasn't expecting the sudden shift in weight, as so he almost fell down. "Yami, I'm glad I met you and Trinity, Joey and Seto. You guys are the first friends I have ever had, and I'm truly am happy that you're one of them."
Yami blushed even more, and smiled down at the little bundle in his arms. He didn't care weather or not anyone saw him, just as long as he could hold Yugi like this forever, nothing else mattered. //Yami's got a crush, Yami's got a crush, Yami's got a crush!//
//shut up, I know I've got a crush, and I'm never letting him go//
Just then the bell rung, symboling that classes were starting in 5 minutes.
Yami groaned, //unless that damned bell rings//

The Gift of Friendship Chapter 2:
Yugi awoke the next morning, and got up to take a shower. He pulled on his school uniform and ran downstairs. It was 6:45; school would start in about an hour and a half so the kids wouldn't be getting there for at least another hour.
Yugi walked out of the Game shop locking the door behind him. His grandpa wasn't up yet, so he had to lock the door. Yugi started walking down the sidewalk as he looked up at the sky. His brilliant amethyst eyes shun in the moon light.
"Gee...I wish I didn't have to go to school today."
"And why would dat be?"
Yugi froze and turned around slowly. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite catch who it belonged to.
"Relax, it's only me."
Yugi looked up to see Joey standing there with a lopsided grin. "Hey, Yug' care to share."
Yugi gave him a confused look, and kept on walking. "Gee...you can at least allow me to walk with ya."
Yugi stopped, "why would you wanna do that?"
Joey shrugged, "Why wouldn't I?"
Yugi looked back up into the pre-dawn sky. He tugged on his bag and pulled it so that it was in front of him. "Look, I don't have much to offer but take whatever you want." He said shoving his bag into Joey's arms.
Joey noticing Yugi's gestures looked down, "what the hell is wrong with you?"
Yugi looked puzzled, "you're going to beat me up and take my stuff, so I figured, I'll just let you take whatever you want and avoid getting beat up."
"What makes you think I'm gonna hit you, didn't we help you yesterday?"
Yugi shrugged again, pulling his back pack back over his shoulder and kept on walking. "You used to pick on me all the time."
Joey ran to catch up with Yugi. "Ya, but I'm different now, you gotta believe me, I'm sorry I hurt ya."
Yugi smiled and looked up at Joey, "all is forgiven!"
Joey sighed a breath of relief. "So Yug' what ya doing goin' to school so early and why do you not wanna go?"
Yugi kept his gaze fixed on the sky, watching as the moon started to fade out in the early morning sun. "I always go to school this early to avoid..."
"Say no more, I'm really sorry bud." Joey shook his head and stared down at Yugi with a sincere look on his face, but the boy just shrugged once again.
"So Joey, how come you're here, usually you are always late for class, let alone this early."
"Ya, I like ta sleep in, but Yami told me to meet him at school early." He yawned proving his point.
Yugi blushed a little when he heard Yami's name being said.
"Hey, speakin' of Yami he's right ova' dere, come on, your welcome to stay with us." He smirked in his head.

Yugi began to drool in his head. /Oh my gosh, he looks so...WOW! /
"Earth to Yugi, anybody in there?" Joey flashed his hand in front of Yugi's face. Yugi shook his head, regaining his senses, "Huh, ya what?"
Yami laughed a deep, rich laugh, as Yugi began to turn a deep shade of red.
/God! His voice is so sexy! /
"So, Joey why'd you call m..." Joey clamped his hand over Yami's mouth.
Yugi looked at Yami quizzically, and Yami did the same to Joey. oh no, what do I do?
As if on cue, one of Kaiba's limo pulled up in front of the school, yes, Seto, he's here
Kaiba climbed out of the limo, and made his way to the trio. "Hey, Yami did you get my message, I asked Joey to umm... tell you to meet us here." This wasn't supposed to happen.
Yami raised one eyebrow and looked at Kaiba, "really? And why would that be?"
Yugi stood beside Joey, but still at a safe distance. He to wanted to know what was going on. He wasn't quite sure that Joey was outside his house, coincidentally.

"Um..." Seto stuttered again. oh, no what are we going to do? What are we going to do?
"Hey Yugi; it's good to see you again. And Yami we called you here just wanted to apologize about yesterday."
"Huh?" Joey, Seto and Yami looked up, to see Trinity standing there with a smug look on her face.
he he....it's Trinity to the rescue. Joey grinned, "Ya, man we a...wanted to apologize for teasin' ya yestaday."
Seto burst out laughing, "Ya, what he said."
Yami groaned, "You're all a bunch of idiots you know that."
"Hey, only some of us are idiots, I'm insulted that you would compare me to those to imbeciles." Trinity shot a glare at Seto and Joey.
Kaiba glared right back at her, he would've said something, but she had a point they had messed up the plan big time. If it weren't for her, well let's just say Yami would have their heads chopped off already.
"Hey, ya mind repeatin' dat Trin'?"
"I'd love to but your brain is way too microscopic to understand what I'm saying." She flashed Yugi a smile.
Yugi smiled back at her, though he was as confused as ever. He looked over at Yami; he seemed to be amused by Trinity and Joey's arguments. He then turned his back and began to walk into a secluded nook, which he went to every morning before the bell rung.
Yami noticed his little look-alike walk away. //I wonder where he's going//
He began to follow the little one leaving his friends behind, to argue.
Yugi walked over to the Sakura tree in the corner behind the school and sat down. Yami watched him closely. "Mind if I sit down?"
Yugi looked up to face Yami a bit startled, "umm...sure if you want to."
Yami walked over and sat down next to Yugi. "So you always come to school this early?"
He shrugged, "I guess."
Yami looked up at the tree, it was nearing spring, but it was still pretty chilly outside. The Sakura tree was starting to bloom, it was beautiful. It reminded him so much of the beauty sitting next to him.
Yugi looked over at Yami, noting the silence. "The tree is beautiful isn't it?" He stood up attempting to touch the lower limbs of the tree, but he was to short.
Yami stood up next to him. //it's not as beautiful as you// He reached to the lowest limb and bent it down a little so Yugi could touch it.
The petals brushed lightly across Yugi's cheek as he giggled. //cute//
Yugi opened his mouth to thank Yami when he heard someone call his companion's name.
"Hey Yami, wat up?"
Yami and Yugi turned around to see Bakura and Marik, two more of Yami's posse. Followed by his quarrelling friends; Seto, Joey and Trinity.
"Hey guys! This is..." Yami started only to be cut off by Bakura and Marik.
"Why you hangin' out with that chump Yami?"
"Ya, does the little boy miss his mommy or something?" Marik and Bakura began to snicker.
Yugi looked up at Yami and then over to his friends, as tears filled his eyes. He then picked up his backpack and ran into the school.
Yami watched as Yugi ran away. He tried calling to him, but to no avail. Then he turned to Bakura and Marik, and growled.
Teeth clenched and his hand in a fist, "What the hell is wrong with you fuckin' idiots he didn't do shit to you. You're both a bunch of stupid assholes." He grabbed his bag and stormed toward the school as the bell rung for class.
"Great, watch him go and tell the teacher on us, stupid crybaby."
Bakura and Marik shrugged, and turned around.
"What the fuck? You say I'm cold hearted, well at least I don't go around insulting poor innocent kids, you imbeciles." Seto walked off, followed by his boyfriend who gave the two friends a death glare.
"Sheesh, what's their problem you'd think they were PMSing or something, hey Trin'?" They turned to face their female friend.
"You're a couple of dumbasses you know that?" She then turned her back and walked gracefully towards the school.
Marik and Bakura just kept on grinning. "Fine, then I guess these to dumbasses aren't smart enough for school."
"Wanna skip?"
"Like you have to ask."
The two skipped off school premises and made on their way. "Gee...and they say were dumbasses? Whoa! I got a kick out of that one." They began to laugh like Bevis and Butthead as they made their way down the road.
^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
It was nearing lunch time and Yami was sitting there, twitching and fiddling with his pencil. //God, I bet Yugi hates me now, and I can't even see him 'cause I have no fuckin' clue what classes he's in//
He rested his head in his arms and sighed. //stupid sensei, is he done talking yet? //
Yami was in Geography class at the moment, and his sensei, Mr. Sakuya kept on babbling on about some population density crap, that he didn't give two shits about. So he decided to think about the possible classes that Yugi might take, or maybe he might be in some of his friend's classes. He closed his eyes and began to think.
Unbeknownst to Yami the teacher was standing in front of his desk. He took his ruler and slammed it on Yami's desk. "AHEM! I see you're awake Mr. Moto" (A/n: I don't know what the hell Yami's last name is. Pharaoh boy perhaps? Yami Pharaoh Boy, NAH!)
Yami jerked up as he felt a rule smack his desk. "Well, it seems as if someone chose to sleep during my class. Tell me Mr. Moto how is that you can manage to stay awake in every other class, be on the basketball team, football team, hockey team and the volleyball team, yet you can't manage to stay awake in my class?"
"Maybe it's because you bore me to sleep." Yami rolled his eyes as the guys in the class began to snicker, and the girls began to giggle and look at him all starry-eyed.
"Really, now Mr. Moto well, let's see if you can manage to stay awake during your detention tonight with me."
"I can't I've got something to do."
"Well, you should have thought of that before you decided to disrespect me."
"I wasn't flippin' disrespecting anyone; I had a god damn headache. Is that a crime?"
"No, Mr. Moto the last time I checked it wasn't, but did you not tell be that I bore you to sleep?"
"Does the word sarcasm mean anything to you?" The class began to snicker again.
"That's it go to the office young man; I will see you there during your lunch hour."
Yami starred at the teacher, his crimson eyes turning a deeper shade of crimson. "What? I didn't do anything, I have head ache what don't you understand about that?"
"That's it I've been all but patient with you, if you have a head ache got to the God damn nurse's office, I don't have time to put up with delinquents who want nothing but to interrupt my class just to get attention. Now get out of my class and don't come back until you get your attitude checked."
Yami glared at him, "All you friggin' teachers are fucked up dammit."
He gathered his things and stormed down the hallway mumbling something about how shitty the teachers were.
Yami, still fuming turned the corner and collided with another student who apparently wasn't paying attention either. The two boys fell to the ground. Yami rubbed his head and kept his eyes squeezed shut. "Watch where, the fuck you're going." Trying hard not to explode, of anger.
When he didn't hear anything or anyone make any attempt to get away he open his eyes, to find a pair of amethyst orbs starring straight at him, wide eyed and brimmed with tears.
"Y...Yugi?"
Yugi picked himself off the floor and tried to get away again, only to be stopped by a firm hand on his thin wrist.
"Yugi I didn't mean.... I didn't know it was you."
Yugi tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. "So...so if it were anyone else it would be o.k.?" He asked courageously, twisting his wrist out of Yami's grasp.
Yami was taken a back by the little ones attempt to stand up to him. Not many people were brave enough to do that.
"No, I guess you're right I'm sorry."
Yugi stepped back a little afraid. /is Yami, the most popular guy at school apologizing to me? /
"What's wrong?" Yami asked quickly hoping he didn't offend the boy in any way.
"Why are you being nice to me?"
Yami looked hurt. "Why wouldn't I be, I've got nothing against you."
"No, but you're friends do."
Yami wrinkled his nose a bit confused, by what he was saying, though he did understand where Yugi was coming from. "What does it matter what they say," he asked.
"Because, you're all the same," he shot back raising his voice slightly.
Yami's stood silently staring at Yugi as if he were stupid or something.
Yugi stood there waiting for something, anything to happen, but when Yami refused to speak he pushed himself past Yami and hurried back to class, leaving the taller boy there to think about what he had just said.
//I can't believe he thinks I'm like those two insensitive jackasses// He shook his head and looked around for Yugi. //Great, now he's gone and it's all my fuckin' fault//
He slammed his fist into the nearest locker, leaving a dent, as he stormed off for the third time that day.
^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
As the lunch bell rung the students piled out if the class rooms and headed to there lockers, then made their way to the school cafeteria.
Yugi held his lunch bag tightly in his hand. He stopped bringing money a while ago, afraid that someone would beat him up for it so instead he packed his lunched everyday.
Yugi scanned the room looking for an exit that wasn't blocked by the cheerleaders or any of the cool people. Finally he saw a door leading outside. It was chilly out but he didn't care. He pushed his way through the crowds of people making his way to the door, which wasn't very hard considering his size.
Finally he reached the door. He took a deep breath and sighed. /free, at last/
"Hey, little boy, give me your lunch money." Yugi swallowed and turned around to face Maiko the school bully, (well he bullied everyone except Yami and his crew, considering he knew he'd get his ass kicked)
"I...I don't have any lunch money see." Yugi stuttered holding up his brown paper bag.
Maiko hit his paper bag on the floor, "to bad...'cause now you're gonna have to pay."
Yugi gulped he knew what this meant; he was going to get the living hell knocked out of him.
"Hey Maiko why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
Maiko turned to face Trinity. She walked up to Maiko, standing very close to him. "Owee, someone is in desperate need of a tic tac."
Maiko blushed, he was embarrassed. He had liked Trinity for sometime now and he didn't wanna be all up in her act if he was to have a chance with her. "Trinity stay out of this."
"Listen Maiko, Hun' I'm really not in the mood to be bitched around by you or anyone else, so put Yugi down and leave him the hell alone." She replied dryly.
"Yo, I'm just having some fun chill."
"And I'm gonna have fun with your face in a minute if you don't leave him the fuck alone."
"Why you defending this freak anyways?"
"Boy, don't make me bring my whip out on you." She smirked jokingly.
"What are you my mother?" He grinned, he was enjoying this.
"Trust, me if I were your mother I would've committed suicide long time ago." She replied bitterly.
Maiko's face fell, "OH bitch don't be talkin' about my mama like that."
"Then don't me bitchen around my brother like that."
"You mean this kid is you're brother?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out, now you gonna put him down or am I gonna have to punish you when you get home." (A/n: meaning she'll have her crew waitin' outside his house when he gets home, ready to kick some bullying ass! Booya! Deepest apologies I'm high on sugar right about now, and no she isn't Yugi's brother she just means friend brother, plus I didn't know what to say. SORRY!)
"Alright, alright calm yourself, so Trin' what ya doin' this..."
"Stop right there. Don't even try and ask me out on a date when you were just pickin' on my lil' buddy over here just a second ago."
"But I..."
"A...Stop don't even go there with me boy."
"b...but"
"blah, blah, blah I ain't listening." She said mockingly this time she was just joking around with him, and he knew it.
"Trin' come on, I'm sorry look I'm sorry, I'm on my frigin' knees."
"Hey, apologize to Yugi not to me bud."
Maiko glared at her, only to have her wink back at him. He groaned. "Damn you." He turned on his knees and began to beg, rolling his eyes. "Please forgive me."
Yugi couldn't help but laugh. This was something he definitely wasn't used to. He looked up at Trinity, she was laughing too, obviously enjoying herself, she turned to Yugi and winked. He smiled back at her. "Um...ya, I forgive you."
Maiko got up off his knees and turned to Trinity, "so you wanna go out with me now?"
Then he realized that the whole cafeteria was silent he turned and looked around. Everyone had there eyes glued on him, and then they started laughing. Maiko glared at them, noting that Yami and his crew were standing less than 5 feet away from him. "WHAT?" he screamed.
The whole cafeteria fell silent. Yami shot him a death glare. One that meant you do anything to Trinity and you're a dead man.
Maiko gulped and turned back to Trinity, he knew that Yami and her were tight but damn. "So...umm...will you?"
Trinity stared back at him as if she were bored out of her mind, which she was.
"Well?"
"Well what?" she replied hastily.
"Will you go out with me? I apologized to the runt."
Trinity looked past Maiko shoulder and caught Yami's eye it matched the colour of blood perfectly.
"Na min' you're on your own, bud"
"But I apologized."
"I don't fuckin' care; don't go pissin' me off like that Maiko like I said I ain't in the mood."
She bent down picked up Yugi's lunch and pushed her way through the double doors, Yugi in tail behind her.
Maiko started to fume, "AHHHHH!!! That girl is so flippin' impossible."
He spun around and stomped out of the cafeteria, hearing the whole student body, laughing at his expense. /I'm gonna kill that stupid little midget, I was so close to getting Trinity and he had to go and screw everything up/
^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Trinity walked out of the cafeteria. "Hey, Yug' you aight bud?"
Yugi started to giggle. Trinity walked up to an old oak tree, "are you laughing at me?"
"No, no it's just that." He began to laugh again. Trinity watched him, //hmm...Yami was right he is adorable, he reminds me so much of my own little brother//
As if Yugi were reading her mind, he turned to her, and smiled. "Trinity?"
"Yes, Yugi?"
"What did you mean back there about me being your brother and all?"
"I'm sorry Yugi, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."
"Not at all, it's just that no one has ever you know said something nice like that about me before."
She shrugged, "I don't know it's just that, you remind me so much of my baby brother, Dameon."
"Really, how, I mean you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"No, you see my brother he was always so optimistic and cheerful just like you. He was great at duel monsters and he was just as adorable."
Yugi blushed. "He 'was'?"
"Hmn...he was turning ten and he was in the car with my mom and dad coming down here to Dominio, they got into a car accident, that was almost a year ago. My parent's and my brother died that day." Tear were forming in her eyes now.
Yugi looked up at her. "I...I'm sorry."
"Its o.k." she replied drying her tears. "Yami and the others have always been there for me, I love them so much, especially Yami, he's like an older brother to me, always watching out for me. He's a really nice guy, but a lot of people are afraid of him."
Yugi blushed. "I'm sure he is."
"You know Yugi you're a great guy too. Don't worry about what those stupid asses say. Bakura and Marik and Maiko they're all a bunch of dipshits you know?"
Yugi couldn't help but laugh. /she's nice I like her, I wish I could talk to Yami like this/
"Hey, Yug' I got book it, that stupid science teacher is giving me shit about my lab write-up, later."
"Bye Trin'"
She got up and ran off, just as Yami passed through the door. She patted him one the shoulder. "Good Luck bud!"
Yami nodded his head in acknowledgement to his best friend. He walked over to Yugi, "mind if I sit down?"
Yugi looked up at Yami and scooted over to make room for him. Yami sat down next to him. "So..."
"So what..." Yugi asked.
Yami stared at him, "Ouch." He put his hand over his heart. "That hurt." He smiled at Yugi.
Yugi giggled. "You're silly!"
Yami grinned, "Are you making fun of me."
Yugi shook his head. "Yami, I didn't mean what I said in the hall."
"Don't worry 'bout it Yug'"
"Really?"
Yami nodded his head, "Yugi are you...do you hate me and my friends?"
Yugi looked shocked, "why would I hate you? Trinity and Joey and Kaiba they're all really nice people. Trinity even said I remind her of her brother!"
Yami smiled at Yugi's enthusiasm. "Does someone have a crush?" He joked, hoping it weren't true.
Yugi just laughed causing Yami to laugh as well. "Jealous?"
Yami stopped laughing, "w-wh-what do you mean?"
"Do you like Trinity?" Yugi asked, giggling.
Yami shut up completely. //he thinks I like Trinity? I mean ya I like he but it's not like I'm in love with the girl she's like my sister//
Yugi stopped laughing and looked at the blank expression on Yami's face. "Yami, did....did I say something wrong?" He asked worriedly.
Yami snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Yugi, "No, no you didn't say anything wrong." Yami got up and stretched, and then he reached down and offered a hand to Yugi. Yugi took it gratefully. "Thanks."
"Yugi, Trinity told you about her brother right?"
"Yes, she did, how'd you know?"
Yami got lost in his thought's again. "Yami?"
"Huh? Oh you mentioned it before remember? You know she loves her brother more than anything in the world. I guess that why she adores you."
Yugi nodded silently, wanting to hear more. "She would do anything to make sure you're safe, because you act a lot like him, and you're just as cute and sweet as he was too."
Yugi blushed and urged Yami to go on. He still wanted to know if Yami had a crush on Trinity, or if there was a chance for him, in Yami's heart.
"I love Trinity, with all my heart, because she is so kind and caring, she's like the sister I never had, and well I'm glad that we met you because, you seem to make her a lot more happier than I've seen her in a while." Yami smiled down at Yugi. //and you make me a whole lot happier too little one//
Yugi smiled as Yami finished talking and hugged him. Yami blushed he wasn't expecting the sudden shift in weight, as so he almost fell down. "Yami, I'm glad I met you and Trinity, Joey and Seto. You guys are the first friends I have ever had, and I'm truly am happy that you're one of them."
Yami blushed even more, and smiled down at the little bundle in his arms. He didn't care weather or not anyone saw him, just as long as he could hold Yugi like this forever, nothing else mattered. //Yami's got a crush, Yami's got a crush, Yami's got a crush!//
//shut up, I know I've got a crush, and I'm never letting him go//
Just then the bell rung, symboling that classes were starting in 5 minutes.
Yami groaned, //unless that damned bell rings//
