Bakura was muttering darkly as he walked through the hallways of Domino high school. Yami was right beside him, growling. Since Yugi and Ryou's incident they'd been too upset to leave the house. So Bakura and Yami were taking their places in school, and not enjoying it at all. Bakura had twice nearly killed himself trying to toast a piece of bread in Home Ec, Ryou's favorite class. And Yami wasn't enjoying the looming sense of hatred around him. So as both boys walked into the locker rooms they were shocked.

"WHAT'S on the schedule today?!" Yami asked Joey again.

"Swimmin' Yug' weren't ya listenin'?" Joey asked as he pulled on a pair of swim trunks. The locker room cleared out and Yami and Bakura stared at each other.

"Can you swim?" Yami asked.

"Like a rock." Bakura answered sadly. They slowly slipped into Yugi and Ryou's bathing suits -a very TIGHT fit, obviously-and walked out to poolside.

"Okay I wanna see ten laps around the pool from each of ya, and none of this "I can't swim" junk!" the teacher barked. Then he called people up, in alphabetical order with last names. Bakura looked over at Yami with a whimper.

"Interesting..." Bakura turned and saw Edana standing behind him with a notepad and pencil, writing something. "intense fear of water makes him long for the passionate lust that only his husband can cause him to feel..." Bakura moved like he was going to strangle her when the teacher called his name.

"Get going!" the teacher snapped. Bakura edged towards the water then stopped. He stared at his reflection in the water and whimpered. Sure he'd taken baths and stuff but swimming?! To a native of ancient Egypt like him, that was a personal hell. Yami was busy trying to figure out why the hell Edana was here to notice his partner's pain. All eyes were on Bakura as he stared into the pool. Then, nonchalantly, the teacher grabbed Bakura by the shoulders and hurled him into the water. Bakura sank to the bottom and hit his head on the pool floor, becoming unconscious. Joey and Tristan moved to jump in but Yami pushed them outta the way as he dove into the water and swam out to Bakura in less than three seconds. He grabbed the teen and swam back to the ladder where Joey and Tristan hoisted him out of the water and onto the cement floor. A gash on his forehead was oozing blood.

"C'mon Ryou wake up!!" Joey said, shaking him. Yami shook off a bit of the water on him and kneeled next to Bakura.

"Bakura I know your still there somewhere...if you wake up now I'll-I'll- I'll-" but the pharaoh couldn't think of any words that might rouse the unconscious tomb robber. Edana stood behind Yami and hummed a song from sleeping beauty. Yami winced then lowered his head and was about to meet lips with Bakura when his brown eyes fluttered open.

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU HOMO!!" Bakura yelled, scooting away from the stunned Pharaoh frantically. Edana chuckled and wrote down another note on the notepad.

"Very interesting...denial in the face of death..." she muttered. Bakura and Yami glared at her.

"Stop that!! This is serious! He's hurt and you're a pain in the ass! Get lost!" Yami yelled angrily.

"Tsk, tsk. You should be ashamed of yourself Yami-kins. You should never doubt the medical services of a teenager. I can help him but not if you continue to talk like that!" she snapped. Yami gave her an apologetic look and she smiled. She pulled out a band aid and stuck to Bakura's forehead. "There! He is now cured!" Yami was held back by Joey and Tristan so as not to harm the psychiatrist.

"Easy yug'!" Joey yelled.

"Yeah where's your gratitude?! I fixed your lover and all I get is an attempted beating?!!" Edana snapped. Everyone stared at Yami.

"FAG!!" the boys yelled running off.

"Its okay Yugi...we know you're not Ryou's lover..." Tristan said.

"Thanks Tristan." Yami muttered darkly. Edana smiled brightly and skipped off with her notebook.

"You okay Ryou? Want that band-aid off your head?" Tristan asked.

"No...it's actually helping with the pain." Bakura replied.
