Love Among Friends
Chapter 6: Don't get mad, Get Even

The bell rang, signaling the end of the school day at Domino City High School. Yami jumped out of his seat and beat every one to the door. There was only one problem, he didn't know how to use the doorknob. Windows he could handle (A/N: Hence the exit through Yugi's window earlier. lol) but doorknobs weren't so easy. He was about to banish it to the Shadow Realm when he remembered that he had promised Yugi that he wouldn't unleash his Shadow powers on anyone-or anything, in this case. So he did what any 5,000 year old pharaoh would do...demand it to open!

Yes, our King of Games was actually talking to a door.

// Open before your pharaoh // Yami demanded.

Nothing happened.

// Maybe, it requires a password ... now what is it? Ahh yes...let's try, Open Sesame! //Yami yelled.

Again nothing happened and now everyone was wondering why he didn't just open the door. To his classmates, Yami seemed to just be staring with an angry determined face at the door. Yami couldn't take it anymore. He threw himself at the door and started pounding on it with all of his might.

"Let me out I want to be free! I've endured enough of this torture that this government calls school. I'm a Pharaoh, King of Games, and I demand that you grant me passage!"

Everyone in the room burst out laughing. Yami looked around, confused. Then it dawned on him, the last part he must have spoken out loud. Everyone in the room was laughing because they thought he was trying to be funny, but Bakura and Yugi laughed hardest because they knew why Yami was acting the way he was.

Yugi laughed so hard that tears were streaming down his face. He had never known that his 5,000 year old dark could make even school so amusing. Shaking his head and wiping the tears from his face, he started to head toward Yami, but Bakura beat him there. He reached the door where Yami was currently standing and glaring at the class.

"Allow me to get that for you, my pharaoh." Bakura said sarcastically, in a voice so soft only Yami could hear. "You wouldn't want to touch anything a commoner's hands have been on." Bakura did a mock bow and opened the door with a flourish.

Yami's jaw dropped open, but Yugi quickly pushed it back shut for him. Yami started to head out the door, but failed to see Bakura's outstretched foot. Any other person would have been flat on their face, but Yami cat-like reflexes helped him to catch himself. He brushed himself off with a fake yawn, when he saw all of the jaws that had dropped open. Yugi walked out the door and beckoned for him to follow. Yami acknowleged him with a nod. As he walked past Bakura, he whispered "I win."
"What?" Bakura questioned. He was answered with an elbow to the stomach as Yami kept walking and didn't look back.

"I'll get you for that, Pharaoh." Bakura muttered to himself. "You haven't won just yet!" He dropped to the floor, still clutching his stomach.
