Yuugi sighed as he walked to school with Ryou; both boys were glancing around warily looking out for any signs of Mori and his gang. To their surprise they actually managed to make it to school without being picked on, they hurried into the building just as the bell rang. They had just closed their lockers when Mori and his two friends ran up to them, both Yuugi and Ryou gulped, fearing the worst.

To their surprise Mori stopped in front of them and grinned miserably at them, holding out two brown paper bags, "Hi g-guys," he stuttered, "we made you lunch." Shoving the bags into Yuugi and Ryou's arms the three sprinted away towards their next class.

"That was weird," Ryou commented still looking perplexedly at the space that Mori had just occupied.

"I know," Yuugi responded, mouth open, his eyes slightly larger than usual and starring at the same vacated spot as Ryou.

They turned to face each other, "You think this stuff's poisoned?" Ryou asked lifting his bag slightly to indicate exactly, although it was already obvious, what he meant.

"Knowing Mori's lack of brains I highly doubt that he'd be clever enough to think of that," Yuugi said.

"Basically what you're saying is that…" Ryou trailed off a grin splitting over his face as he looked at Yuugi.

"He's too stupid," Yuugi finished and the pair bust out laughing, hurrying after the few remaining students in the halls before they were late for class and got detentions. Little did they know that today, on their part was going to be very odd.

---Anzu, Jou, Malik, Ryuuji---

"So what did you guys do after I left?" Anzu asked Jou and Malik as the four of them walked towards their first class, Anzu was hand in hand with Ryuuji.

"Well first we went and did homework, of course, Jou slept through that part," Malik started grinning but was interrupted by Jou's protests.

"It was hard, and I did half…" but then he was cut of by Malik who was still grinning.

"Yes, half of the work that due today for our first period and will be suffering detention again," Malik said grinning but to his surprise Jou's face lit up.

"But I did the other half this morning," Jou started, then he said really fast, "IcopiedyournotesandI'mrelalyreallygratefulandI'msosorryifyougetmadatmebutIcopiedyousobyebyenow," and then Jou sprinted off.

Malik stood their for a second with a look of shock that soon turned to dawning, "You get back here Jou," he said and sprinted after Jou leaving dust clouds in his wake and causing many of the student body to stare at him.

"Well that's not unusual," Ryuuji said gaping as he and Anzu began to make their way slowly and calmly after Jou and Malik.

"You'd have thought that everyone else would have gotten used to their routine by now," Anzu sighed taking Ryuuji's hand and entwining his fingers with her own.

---Yuugi and Ryou---

Both of the normally ignored boys were getting very worried now, everyone seemed to be acting really strangely, the guys were welcoming Yuugi and Ryou into their groups, the girl's were looking Ryou and Yuugi up and down I the halls between classes. A tall girl, with blonde hair and bright green eyes name Amy who Ryou had had a crush on last year actually walked up to him and kissed his cheek making the boy blush.

By the time break time had come around Ryou had been kissed on the cheek ten times, asked out thirteen times, but hadn't said yes, and two girls had even kissed him on the mouth, but, to top it all off, one girl had even had the nerve to come up to him and French Kiss him. Yuugi had been kissed on the cheek eleven times, asked out nine times, turned them all down, and been kissed on the mouth once.

"Well Yuugi," Ryou started to Yuugi who looked up at them, they didn't need to say anything, and they couldn't have anyway because they didn't know what to say. They were to put it very bluntly, popular, they knew it was because of Malik, Anzu and Jou but they didn't think it was fright; it was more like, respect.

"Yuugi," violet eyes locked with brown ones as Ryou continued, "I'm just gunna put my books in my locker, meet you back here in a few," and with that the white hair boy headed off towards his locker.

As the white haired bishounen mapped his way around the school the halls became steadily less crowded, Ryou didn't mind though, the constant attention he'd been receiving all day had begun to get on his nerves. He was just passing by the Biology corridor when a hand flew out of the darkened passage and grabbed his arm.

Ryou was too startled to react immediately and it took a while for his brain to fully process what was happening. In the mean time, his attacker had analysed the situation much quicker and placed his second hand over Ryou's mouth. By the time Ryou had even thought to scream or cry for help it was too late and he was dragged into the shadows by the still shadowed figure.

---Yuugi---

The small boy was slightly worried, Ryou had yet to come back and it had been a bit too long for his liking, worried, he made quick work of heading towards Ryou's locker.

---Jou and Malik---

The two, not so dumb, blondes walked out of class and headed off towards the Maths rooms to find Anzu, Ryuuji had double free period so he'd be in his house common room. Or at least that's where he would have been had he not met up with them half way, and out of breath to.

"Hey guys," he gasped out as his laboured breaths slowly dissolved as his heart came to grips with its normal rate.

"Hi, what's up?" Malik asked grinning at Ryuuji who grinned back somewhat before replying.

"Tell Anzu for me that I'll pop round her house later, got to run some errands for Rashid-san," and with that he sprinted off once more and headed off into the English department.

"Poor him, he has to be in the top Ancient history set," Malik said knowing full how harsh 'Rashid-san' could be. He had originally been in the same set as Ryuuji but Rashid was too much for Malik to handle so he went with Marissa-san for Ancient History.

"I wouldn't know, I don't take Ancient History," Jou commented and less than a minute later Anzu turned up.
