Chapter 4

Weird Day part 2

After the last period of the day Joey was surprised to find Seto waiting at his locker for him.

"Hey." The blonde said in surprise, reaching for the combination lock.

"Hi." Seto said a bit awkwardly. 'Its really obvious that he's not used to socializing.' Joey decided. "So . . . are you going to be alright going home today?"

Joey shrugged nonchalantly, grabbing a random textbook and shoving into his backpack. 'Stupid teachers, why give homework, it's Friday!'

"He's probably still pretty ticked. You can hit pretty hard ya' know. Not that I'm not grateful."

Seto shrugged.

"It's just . . . if you don't want to go back today that room is still free."

Joey closed his locker and glanced, surprised, at the brunette. Kaiba offering him a room when he was being beaten to oblivion was one thing, but again? Well, Tristan had a date with Serenity that night, and Yugi and Grandpa were going to be out of town to see one of Grandpa's old friends . . . Joey didn't really want to go home . . .

"You sure?"

Seto nodded, crossing his arms.

"But I'm thinking maybe you should have some of your own clothes this time. Would your father be at home right now?"

Joey shook his head, surprised at how much Seto had thought this over.

"He'll be out drinking for another hour at least."

"Good. After we pick up Mokuba from elementary school we'll stop by your house."

"Sure, thanks!" Joey said, grinning.

'This sure is a weird day, but maybe it won't be that bad after all.'

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

"Yami. Yami, what's wrong?" The ancient spirit had been in a bad mood ever since that morning, and Yugi was beginning to get worried about him.

The older boy was about to spin around and tell his friend to mind his own business, but realized as his caught the young boy's innocent expression that he couldn't take his frustration out on Yugi. He sighed instead, sinking onto the bed of his room.

"It's nothing." The said, but left it at that. Yugi would not take the hint, however, and let it be, as Yami had hoped he would. Instead he hopped onto the bed beside the ancient Pharaoh and let his feet dangle for a moment.

"Is it about Kaiba?"

Yami looked over at him in surprise. He hadn't remembered how perceptive the boy was.

"Don't you have to go somewhere?" Yami asked, trying to change the subject. Yugi smiled at the attempt.

"We've got some time. So, what's with you and Kaiba?"

Giving in Yami's eyes focused steadily on the hardwood floor.

"He reminds me of someone I knew long ago." He glanced to Yugi quickly. "In fact, I'm sure that he is a reincarnation of that person. He seems to recognize me on some level."

Yugi stood up.

"Wow, that would be your High Mage, right?" Yami glanced up sharply.

"How did you . . .?"

Ishizu told me, remember?"

Yami's gaze softened.

"Oh, yes."

Yugi looked to the door worriedly as he heard Grandpa announce that it was time to go, then he looked back to his other half quickly.

"You guys might have been enemies in a past life, but I don't think you have to worry about that now. He's Kaiba now, not your High Mage. I don't think they're really the same person."

Yami smiled weakly as Yugi scampered off.

"That's what I'm afraid of." He murmured softly.
