Chapter Ten

Atemu's Weird Behavior

Yugi woke the next morning to find that Atemu was not in his Soul Room. Yugi got up, dressed, and then checked the house. Empty. He was starting to get worried. He wanted to go look for Atemu but he had to go to school. He opened the door and was surprised to see...

"Yami!"

Atemu was startled by Yugi's sudden outburst. He rolled over and fell down the stairs. He sat up and rubbed the back of his head.

"What the hell," he said as Yugi jumped down the stairs to his yamis side.

"Gomen Yami, I was just surprised to see you out here," Yugi apologized to the spirit.

"What? Never saw anyone sleep out side before?" Atemu said as Yugi helped him to his feet.

"Why are you out here anyway?" Yugi asked.

"I guess I just fell asleep out here..." Atemu thought, "I can't remember why I guess it was knocked out of me when I fell down the stairs well you should be getting to school see you later."

Atemu turned and went back into the house. He may have forgotten why he was outside but there was one thing he remembered, the dream. Yugi stood there a little confused. What was with Atemu? He did not have time to dwell on Atemu's strange behavior because he had to go to school.

Later at school...

Malik and Laria rode up on Malik's motorcycle. Usually Laria would ride to school with her brothers in their limo but that morning Yani had put salt in Seto's coffee and now he was pissed at Yani, and Laria. Luckily, Malik came by asking if she wanted a ride. She was very thankful because she would not have to sit though another one of Seto's long rants until he tracked her down at lunch. Malik stopped right outside Domino High and Laria got off.

"Thanks Malik," Laria said cheerfully. He nodded and drove off to park his bake in a safer location. Laria headed off towards the school when she spotted Ryou and Yugi so she decided to go talk to them.

"Hey Ryou! Yugi!" she said walking over to them, strangely enough, the Items did not glow this time.

"Hi Laria," Ryou greeted her.

"Laria did anything strange happen when Yami was at your house?" Yugi asked.

"Other then my Millennium Items blinding the hell out of us, no," Laria said. Yugi and Ryou blinked, "It was nothing, don't worry about it."

"Are you sure?" Yugi asked.

"Yes!"

"Has your yami been acting weird?" Ryou asked.

"Define 'weird'," Laria said, "Because Yani past weird a long time ago."

"No, has been acting different lately?"

"What is with the interrogation! Yani hasn't been acting any different then she has since we moved here." Laria said, questions really annoyed her. "Why are you asking me all this?"

"Yugi's yami has been acting weird," Ryou said.

"Oh really? How so?"

"Well all after noon yesterday, he was pacing around talking to himself in Egyptian. Then he would just sit there staring at the TV."

"What's wrong with staring at the TV?" Laria asked.

"It wasn't on," Ryou told her.

"Oh, was that all he doing?"

"No, he went over to you're house last night and this morning I found him sleeping out side on the front steps."

"Why was he out there?"

"Donno he wouldn't tell me."

"Well..." she was cut off.

"LAR!"

Laria turned around to see Seto. He still looked mad about the coffee thing.

"Aw Schmidt he's here," Laria grimaced.

"What's wrong with Kaiba?" Ryou asked.

"Yani tampered with his coffee this morning." Laria said heading off towards the school.

"Lar, I'll see you at lunch! You can't hide forever!" Seto yelled to her.

"I know!" Laria yelled back. "But I can hide until you forget about this morning!"

Laria ran into the school and Seto chased in after her.
