Chapter 6 - Back To School Surprises

*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*

The next morning, Yugi was hyper from lying down so much, and was ready to go to school, he had been up since five o'clock in the morning bugging Yami to no end. But he was bugging him in a playful way, so that Yami didn't mind it that much. He only hated being woken up at five in the morning by a small Yugi jumping up and down at the edge of his bed.

.::*::.|.::*~*FlashBack*~*::.|.::*::.

"Aibou, quit it. I'm trying to sleep." Yami turned over on his side, and held his pillow over his face.

"Aw, come on Yami, wake up!" Yugi bounced at the edge of Yami's bed (still in his light blue pyjamas), with a smile on his face. He was in his innocent playful mood, and Yami ignored it. As well as he could!

"Hikari, please, I was up late last night. Please allow me to sleep a little while longer." Yami kept his eyes shut, and tried to fall back to sleep, but the bed moving around was making it hard for him.

"Aww, Yami? Don't you love me?" Yugi said sheepishly, with a small grin on his face, and his eyes closed. He was still jumping up and down on the bed, his cheeks flushed from all of the exercise he was finally getting.

"Of course, but I need to sleep! Yugi, please let me sleep longer!" Yami said in a exasperated tone. He really must have been tired.

Yugi let out a small whining sound, and put on his innocent 'puppy dog' look. Yami hated that look, it made him feel like he had just kicked a cute little puppy. Yami sighed, and sat up.

"All right, Yugi, I'm up. But let me sleep in a little more tomorrow." Yugi grinned from ear to ear, and hugged his Yami to death. Yami had to gasp for air by the time Yugi let go.

"Yay!" Yugi still smiled, and watched as Yami got up, and rubbed his eyes. "You're up!" He sat beside Yami till Yami left to get changed. Yugi smiled at the idea of Yami accepting defeat for once. He left Yami's room, and went into his own, he didn't feel much like changing at the moment, he still had two and a half hours until he had to leave for school. He lay down on his bed, and curled up into a small ball. He fell asleep waiting for Yami. It was Yami's turn to jump on the bed! Yugi laughed at the sight of Yami jumping up and down on the bed. They both laughed together until they went down for an early breakfast.

.::*::.|.::*~*End Of FlashBack*~*::.|.::*::.

"Yami. Have you seen my clean clothes anywhere?" Yugi looked around the corner into the living room, where Yami was sitting on the couch comfortably.

"Hai. They are in the laundry room, I thought you might need them again." Yami said without turning around, but he had a rare smile on his face. But this time, not even Yugi saw it.

Yugi smiled to himself, and started to hum to a favourite song of his. When he was finished humming, he already had on his school clothes, and all of his accessories.

"Yugi, are you sure you're ready to go back?" Yami leaned over the back of the couch, and watched Yugi adjusting his collar on his shirt.

"Yup, I feel so much better thanks to you!" Yugi smiled up at Yami, and felt the warmth of his connection with Yami intensify. Yugi smiled, and sat down on the couch beside Yami. He could swear that the feelings he was receiving were of the emotion of Love, or Caring. He smiled again. Yami was pretty calm for his usual self, and Yugi poked at his shoulder, wanting to see if Yami would jump or not.

"What was that for?" Yami raised his eyebrows at Yugi, Yugi just laughed.

"Nothing." Yugi sighed, and leaned back on the couch. He felt drowsy from the warmth from the connection, it was overpowering. But Yugi liked it - a lot. He smiled at the familiar feelings in the back of his mind, and forced his eyes to stay open.

"Well. All right then." Yami smiled - again! Wow, Yami must be really happy! Yami felt content just sitting there, staring at the wall, Yugi sitting beside him.

"It's only 6 o'clock, what are we supposed to do for an hour?" Yugi wondered out loud, and to his surprise, Yami laughed.

"Well, we wouldn't have to wait fro one hour if you had slept a lot longer! And let me sleep a lot longer for that matter." Yami folded his arms against, and leaned even further into the couch. Yugi blushed.

"Well, I couldn't sleep any longer. I'm sorry I made you wake up so early, but it's just that. Well. I needed some company!" Yugi stared down at the ground, and felt his cheeks getting hotter. He ignored them.

"Oh, it's alright, Aibou. I guess it was partly my fault for making you sleep so long. I probably would've woken up eventually, anyway.." Yami glanced sideways at his Hikari, and smiled thoughtfully.

"I guess so." Yugi squirmed a little under Yami's uncomfortable gaze.

"Oh, don't worry about it, Hikari, it's ok!" Yami slipped his arm around Yugi's shoulder. "How about I challenge you to a duel." Yugi's face lightened up considerably.

He could feel the heat subsiding from his cheeks, and he turned his frown upside down, and grinned happily at his Yami. "Yeah!" They both kneeled down at opposite sides of the coffee table, and they had quite a lot for fun duelling for about an hour or so.

"I win!" Yami grinned evilly at Yugi, who smiled back.

"So you do, but maybe next time I will." Yugi smiled, and sighed. Yugi took his deck of cards, and ran up the stairs to put them away in his room.

"Hey, Yugi, you should leave now, it's already half past seven!" Yami peered around the corner, into Yugi's room. Yugi was fast asleep at his desk, his deck of cards in front of his. Yugi's hand was on the top of the deck, as if he was about to pull one form the top. Yami curiously moved Yugi's hand away from the duelling monsters cards, and picked up the top one. Yami smiled to himself, and chuckled quietly, the card was the Dark Magician.

"Yugi, wake up, it's time to leave!" Yami replaced the card, and shook Yugi's shoulders from behind. Drowsily, Yugi opened his eyes halfway. He checked his watch, and gasped.

"Oh no! You're right! And I might be late for my first day back!" Yugi jumped up, and Yami saw him to the door. Yugi swung his backpack onto his shoulder, and kissed Yami on his cheek as a goodbye. Yami held a hand to his cheek, and waved at Yugi, who waved back at him. Yugi was running down the street, when he tripped on his shoelaces, and Yami laughed to himself, completely forgetting about the 'kiss.' Yugi got up, brushed himself off, and ran to school.

When Yugi finally reached his school, hardly anyone was there, except for a few people sitting around by themselves. Yugi checked his watch, and noticed that he still had about 25 minutes until his classes started. He wandered around fro a while before he found a few of his classes. He went in, and handed his homework to the math teacher, then to the science teacher, then to all of his other teachers. They were all surprised, and so was he. They all congratulated him on finishing it while he was sick, and they didn't give him any more homework. He wondered why.

"Hey, Yug!" Yugi turned around to see Joey, Tristan and Tea all walking towards him. "You're here a little early, aren't ya? Do ya feel any better?" Joey smiled down at Yugi, like Tristan and Tea, too.

"Hey, Joey, Tristan, Tea. Yup, I feel great, thanks for asking!" He smiled at them, and wondered why they, too, were there early. "I'm here early because I woke up a little bit too early, and I had time to spare. Why are you three here so early?"

"Well, we sort of.um." Tea held a hand to the back of her head, and blushed. She was sort of tongue-tied.

"Yah, you see, w-we, well we told them, a-and w-well." Tristan stammered, and he, too, blushed. Joey looked around, and sighed, he was the only one who hadn't answered. Yugi turned to him, his eyebrows raised.

"Well you see Yug, we told the teachers how you would be sick, and we caught all the teachers at the same time. We, well, we kinda told them off for bein' so mean to ya, Yug." He looked down at the ground. "I think they got the point when we all yelled at them, and told them that you were sick. But we got detentions for this morning because we talked back to them." Joey looked around uncomfortably.

"Whoa, really? You guys are the best!" Yugi grinned, and hugged all three of them at the same time. They all smiled at their friend. "I think it worked!" He baked up from hugging them and still smiled. "They didn't give me any more homework, and they actually congratulated me on finishing all of the rest of my homework! But I did have help with it." Yugi sighed, and remembered how he had found most of his homework was done. He wished he had thanked Yami, he needed to remember that for next time he saw Yami.

"Yeah, well, we'd better get to our detentions." All three of them sighed, and Joey led the way to the principal's office.

"Umm." Yugi looked around, he certainly didn't have anything to do. "Hey, guys! Wait up!" He waved to them, and caught up with them.

"Why are you coming, too?" Tristan raised an eyebrow at Yugi, and looked as confused as the others.

"I've got nothing better to do, and you guys did get this because of me. I think it's only fair that I come along for the punishment." Yugi smiled warmly up at the three of them, and they shrugged.

"Well, alright. Come one!" Tea smiled, and made room between her and Tristan for Yugi to walk alongside them.

They walked in silence to the principal's office, where they waited in small blue seats. The principal emerged from his small office, and looked at all four of them. "I understand three of you are to receive detentions?" They nodded. Yugi just stared blankly at the principal. "And what you doing here, then?" The principal glared at Yugi, who smiled warmly at him.

"I would like to endure whatever punishment my friends are receiving. It is partly my fault that they are here." Yugi said in a calm and resounded voice. He clenched his hands as he noticed that they were shaking.

"How nice. However, you will not be allowed to do so. You may go. As for the rest of you, please sit in opposite corners of my office, and I will hand you your work You will write 50 lines of what is written on the chalk board inside." He pointed to his office, and they all got up and went inside. Yugi gave them looks of disappointment, as if to say that he wished he would be punished as well. The principal closed the door behind him, and Yugi walked away, staring at the ground in deep thought. He went into his first class, and read a book that he found lying around, while he waited for school to officially start.

He was glad when the first class was over, but angry, too, when he noticed that his friends hadn't returned yet. For the whole morning, he did as well as he could, and the teachers actually complimented him when he did something right. When the lunch bell rang, he went outside, and waited under the oak tree, where he usually met his friends. Finally, they showed up, with grim faces. None of them smiled. Yugi frowned sadly that his friends had to endure punishment because of him.

"What did you really tell the, Joey?" Yugi asked nervously.

"Well, we told them what you were going through, and what you had to do to survive, and what your life was like. That didn't seem to bug them, though. So I added that what they were doing was a form of harassment, and that they could all be suspended for doing what they were doing. And that's when they stopped talking, and told me that it wouldn't happen again. We told them off anyway, and they told us that was where they drew the line, and we got detentions." Yugi looked at them with his wide eyes, and he was really shocked.

"Thanks." He whispered, and they all nodded, and ate lunch in silence.

At the end of the day, there was a special announcement, that they were to stay in class as something would be delivered to each class for those who wanted them.

Yugi and his friends were surprised, and everyone wanted to know what the 'special delivery' would be. Yugi sat patiently at the back of the class, holding back his eagerness. He had his pen to his paper for homework, but he wrote nothing, his attention was on the door of their class, waiting for the special delivery. Then there was a knock at the door. Everyone's heads snapped forward, and everyone's gaze lay on the door. The teacher got up, and opened the door half way. The teacher exchanged a few friendly words with the person in the hall, and they both laughed and said something about 'students' and 'being tense.'

She backed up into the class, and pulled in a large blue wagon. In the wagon were at least thirty or forty boxes full of smaller boxes of chocolate. Everyone gasped, and a few people laughed at how foolish it all seemed. The teacher had to tell everyone to hush up.

"All right, when I call your name, you will come up here and take one box of chocolates. If you do not wish to sell the chocolates, then stay in your seat, and don't bother coming to the front of the class." The teacher spoke in a calm tone, but the kids were a little nervous. A few of them hardly liked to go up in front of the class, Yugi could care less, he loved chocolate! He smiled to himself as he heard the teacher yell out names, and watched the students one by one going up to the front of the class. IN no time at all, she had reached the M's.

"Motou, Yugi!" The teacher called out, and Yugi jumped up out of his chair, and to the front of the class, where he grabbed the box of chocolates, and ran happily to the back of the class. He nearly tripped on someone's bag in the middle of a row of chairs, but quickly recovered by grabbing the side of someone's desk. A few kids laughed at him, and he laughed right along with them. Nothing could ruin his mood, he had chocolate, after all! He was lucky because all of the bullies were too preoccupied with their boxes of chocolate to notice him.

As he ran home, he held the box of chocolates close to his chest. A few blocked away from the game shop and his home, he started to skip. He was in the best mood! The teachers were nice, the bullies ignored him, his friends were so loyal, Yami was back, and his Grandpa was getting better! He couldn't help but smile. Nothing could wipe the smile off of his face, not even the rain that started to fall all around him.

He ran through the game shop, and into the house, where he met Yami by the door, he was pretty curious.

"So? How was your day at school?" Yami asked, looking pretty eager to find out. Well, what else could he do all day but think about Yugi at school, except watch t.v., and clean up?

"It was great! Except the homework, but I don't have as much anymore! The teachers are being nicer after the 'incident.'" Yugi smiled up at Yami, who handed him a glass of water, and they both sat down across from each other at the kitchen table. Yugi took a sip of his ice water, and noticed how hot he actually was. Probably from running home, he thought to himself. He felt the heat drain out of his face, and he realised he must have had a flushed face; probably why Yami handed him a glass of water and ice.

"The 'incident?'" Yami raised an eyebrow in mere curiosity.

"Well, yeah. I must have really loyal friends, I mean, they actually yelled at the teachers! For my sake! And it worked, they threatened the teachers, but ended up in detention anyway." Yugi shrugged, and remembered how much he had wanted to receive the punishment his friends had suffered at his hands.

"Hmm." Yami nodded. "You do have loyal friends, Aibou, have you not seen it before? I think since I was last here your friends have grown closer to you. Maybe it was you who were growing apart from them to not realise it." Yami contemplated, and folded his arms against his black muscle shirt. His crimson eyes were fixed on Yugi's violet ones.

"Maybe that's true." Yugi stared down at his drink, and watched as the ice cubes melted very slowly. He wiped away some sweat from his forehead onto his sleeve, and looked back up at Yami. "Oh yeah!" Yugi remembered his box of chocolates. "Look what I got!" He ran to his backpack, and picked up the box of chocolates, and brought it over to the table. He opened the box, and saw a piece of paper with the words 'thirty boxes' on it.

"What is it?" Yami looked down at the boxes of chocolate, and picked one small one up.

"It's chocolate!" Yugi yelled out. He knew that tonight he would definitely be hyper, he had saved a lot of money, and he had enough money to buy the whole box, but he wouldn't need that much to get a sugar high. "And I've got some money around here somewhere. They're two dollars each." He said matter of factly, reading the side of the huge box full of chocolates.

"Hmm." Yami looked curiously at the chocolate, and wondered why it all made Yugi so happy and. sort of hyper when he talked about it.

"You want to try some, Yami?" Yugi smiled up at his darker half, who simply sat there, puzzled, dazed, and confused. Yami nodded, and Yugi pulled out a chocolate bar with caramel in the middle of each piece. He unwrapped the chocolate bar, and broke off a piece, and handed it to Yami. "Try it, go ahead!" Yugi smiled, and ate a few pieces, he was already moving around in his seat a lot. He ate another few pieces, while Yami enjoyed his one piece. He savoured it slowly. Yugi on the other hand ate the rest of the large chocolate bar by himself. He found two dollars in change in his pockets, and put in the money envelope. Yugi picked up another box of chocolates, but this time it was chocolate covered almonds. He ate every single piece, except he saved a few for Yami. Yami thought Yugi would get sick again from eating so much and eating so quickly.

"Maybe you should save some for others?" Yami spoke loudly, so that Yugi would hear over his eating. "And not eat so much?"

"But it's just sooo good! I LOVE chocolate!" Yugi grinned, and found another box of chocolates. Every time he finished one box, he would put the money for it in the envelope. Yami scratched his head, and wondered how big Yugi's stomach. Probably not as big as Joey's, he thought, and laughed out loud. Yugi cocked his head to one side, and swallowed the last of his chocolate bar.

"Nevermind, Yugi. You should stop eating." Yami closed the box of boxes of chocolates, and pulled it away from Yugi, who was already jumping up and down. "I don't want to have to deal with an over hyper Yugi all night." He sighed.

"I think you're too late, Yami. It's starting to kick in!" Yugi smiled, and ran around the table a few times, and only paused to take a few sips of his water until it was all gone.

"This is going to be a long night." Yami sighed, and chased Yugi, who had snatched back the box of chocolates, and was dancing around with, and doing the tango with it. Yami sighed as they ran around and laughed and played around together. It sure would be a long night, especially since Yugi just ate another two boxes of chocolates. Eight boxes down, twenty two to go! How many more until Yami gets back the whole box? ^-^
