I had missed school yesturday. I had slept till thirty minutes after noon.

"Morning Yugi..." Mou Hitori no boku said somewhat coldly.

"Huh? Oh... Oi!" I said still tired.

"The winter festival is today... Will you be going with your friends?"

"Eee... No... I don't think that Jounouchi would be happy if I came anywhere near him today..."

My other nodded, "Now it's best you hurry up! You don't want to be late for school again"

I nodded in agreement and quickly got changed, blushing since mou hitori no boku was watching me.

"Gomen!" He said quickly turning his head away.

I walked over to my other when I was fully dressed and smacked him on the lips.

I smiled afterward, "I've got to get going"

He nodded, blushing madly as I dashed out the door and chugged some orange juice down.

When I got to school, Jounouchi was talking to Honda, I went over to say hello but Jounouchi ignored me and walked away.

"What was that all about?" Honda asked looking down at me.

"Jounouchi-kun and I sorta had I fight yesterday... It's complex..."

"Hai..."

"Yugi! Gomen if I interrupted your conversation but... I kinda need to talk to you privately" Ryou said, running up to us.

"Err... Okay..." I followed him to behind the school.

"Yugi... This is a bit embarrassing but it's kinda like that situation you were in on Monday..."

"Eh? You mean... that your other is..."

"Uh-huh..." He gave a un relaxed smile.

"Oh... Well about what I told you on Monday it's now a bit more serious... Mind if I tell you what's happening? I wanted to know if you can help"

"Hai!" He nodded, "Course! Unless it's that same thing I'm going threw..."

I nodded.

After I told him the story from the days before he just stared at me, sort of shocked.

"Oi... Ryou? You okay? Ryou!? Hello?" I asked him conserved.

"Huh? Whoops! Um.. Sorry... Um. Let me think... I not good with this love thing... Err... Umm. Choose one?" Ryou said embarrassed and confused.

"I told you that wouldn't HELP!!" I said waving my airs around, yelling at him.

He rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed, "Gomen! Gomen! It's just that... I'm stuck in a very similar situ-ation... Err... Hi Anzu"

"Hello! What are you guys talking about?" She said smiling happily.

"Errr... Duel Monsters?" I said looking over at Ryou who nodded in agreement, quickly.

"Oh? I thought I heard Honda say it was something private?"

"It is! Only duelists can know about it!"

"Is that so... Then why haven't you spoken to Jou about it?"

"Wha?! I mean uhh... We got into a fight... A while ago, and know he doesn't want to talk to me"

"We'll then tell me and I'll tell him!"

"Err. No thanks!"

I smiled at her quickly then the bell rang, 'Ah! Time for class!"

Ryou and I gave Anzu a slight smile then ran off as fast as we could.

'Glad that was over' I thought to myself.

Walking, walking, walking. Down the hall to my first class. I sighed and suddenly felt tight, when I realized what it was I quickly rushed into the washroom.

Washing my hands after I went. (AN: yes I left out the bathroom scene anyone have a problem ~.~?)

I looked at my puzzle and rubbed my thumb against it the went back to walking to my next class.

I saw Jounouchi standing in the hall, smoking.

'Wait! Smoking? Jounouchi!? He wouldn't... Unless...'

"Jounouchi!" I said smacking the cigarette out of his hand, "What the hell is with you!?"

He just starred at the ground where the cigarette had landed, not listening to me.

"Jounouchi!"

"..."

"Jounouchi!!" I yelled at him.

"..." He said nothing, he did nothing, it was if I didn't even excise.

"Jou..." I said in a more relaxed tone, "What's up? You're not acting like your usual self."

"...I just..."

"Hmmm?" My ears perked up.

"..." He stood up not leaning against a locker anymore and began walking away slowly.

"Jounouchi-kun" I said with a sigh, "I'll never understand you..."

I began going to my next class... I knew I was going to be late.

"Ah, Yuugi! You showed up. Chop-chop! Get your stuff out for math quickly now." My teacher said a bit impatient.

I nodded and sighed, taking out work from a previous day.

Ryou whispered to me, "Where's Jounouchi? He didn't show for class"

"I dunno. He walked off after I tried talking to him, but... He seems really de-pressed. Yes Mrs. Kino?"

"Do you two have something you want to share with the class?" She said fixing her glasses upon her nose.

"Uhh... No Mrs. Kino" Ryou and I said in sync.

Next class, I have to go to my next class.

'I hope Jounouchi's okay... I don't want him to hurt himself' Thinking to myself again.

I stared at the ground, a group of females walked past me whispering and giggling and I started to feel a presence behind me.

Just as I started to turn around something hit me on the back of the head.
