Chapter 7: Bullies
Yugi woke up and pulled on his school uniform. He wobbled a little.
//Yugi should you really be going to school? // Yami asked a tired Yugi.
/I feel fine... /
//You sure? // Yami glanced at Yugi worriedly.
/Yeah I'm sure, just don't ask ok? / Yugi turned to face the mirror. He fixed his hair.
//Ok, just be careful. // Yami stood there looming over Yugi.
/I will... / Yugi replied while attempting a smile.
//Ok... // Yami sounded unsure. He decided to follow Yugi to school; I guess you could say he was watching over him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Tea walked to school along side Tristan, Joey, Serenity, Trista, Lily, Arora who was new, Duke, and Rene. Duke had informed Rene of the plan.
"Duke do you think Yugi will be ok?" Rene asked.
"He'll be fine. Come on sis, let's get going or we'll be late!" Duke replied.
"These are stupid outfits. Why do you wear them?" Arora asked.
"Because they're mandatory." Tea sighed.
"HEY GUYS! WAIT-UP!" Yugi yelled.
"I thought-did you guys just hear-YUGI!" They all yelled at the same time.
"I thought I'd come to school today," Yugi gave a small smile.
A black limo drove up and stopped beside the group.
"Motou what are doing up? You should be in bed asleep." Kaiba said angrily.
"I decided to go to school today, I got sick of staying in bed," Yugi replied and continued to walk.
"Motou!" The limo drove alongside Yugi at a slow pace.
"What?" Yugi looked at Seto Kaiba with an angry expression.
"At least take a ride with me," Kaiba sighed and the limo stopped. Yugi looked at the seat then to his friends.
"Go on Yug! It's ok!" Joey's voice assured.
"Ok..." Yugi sighed stepping into the limo. The door shut and the limo drove off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
"Thanks for the ride," Yugi looked at Kaiba happily and a little guilty.
"Don't feel guilty, your friends said it's ok. Anyway, I don't want you putting too much strain on your body." Yugi thought he saw Seto Kaiba shed a tear for him.
"I'm sorry Seto, it's just that, I hate being treated like I'm this fragile person. I know that I have to take it easy, and I know that you're not happy with my choice but...but I have to prove something to me." Yugi looked out the window. The ride to the school seemed to take longer then normal.
"Yugi, you have to understand, what happened really scared us." Seto Kaiba's words surprised Yugi.
'I...I didn't know Seto Kaiba cared' Yugi stumbled for words but none came. The ride was silent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
"I don't think Yugi should be in school. He's not ready...he has to go home." Tea's voice rose to a hysterical level.
"Tea calm down. I trust Yug. He's smart."
"JOEY HE HAS TO GO HOME! HE'S NOT WELL! HE'S NOT WELL!" Tea screamed.
*********************************************************************
Watery: Hey Tea. Let Yugi be. LET YUGI BE!
Tea: Shut up b****!
MediaevalLeek3 (Leek): YOU SHUT UP YOU STUPID SLUT!
Watery: Takes out her favourite weapon THE BAZOOKA! And takes out twin swords. I said calm down or I'll kill you.
Firey_Angel, Kaiba_Angel (Firey): GO WATERY!
Moonshadow: YEAH! GO WATERY!
Watery: Start story again.
*********************************************************************
Serentiy and Kari tried to calm Tea down, and eventually did. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Yugi was seated at his desk, being unusaly quiet, even for him.
Mrs. Chitsumi, the teacher of the gangs class, said "now as you can see this formula is very simple. Msr. Motou please repeat the formula," Mrs. Chitsumi looked in Yugi's direction.
Yugi stared out the window, oblivious to anyone who talked to him. He watched as a little boy around Mokuba's age ran into the elementry school next to their school.
'Must be late...' Yugi thought to himself.
"Mr. Motou answer my question!" Lily looked over at her brother.
"Answer her bro," Lily muttered to herself.
"Yugi...are you ok?" Yugi's eyes wandered onto the teachers stern face.
"Motou..." Kaiba's voice strained.
"MR. MOTOU!" Mrs. Chitcumi's yell made Yugi snap out of his trance.
"Huh..." Yugi felt light headed.
"Mr. Motou what is the formula?" Mrs. Chutsumi walked over to the board and pointed out the formula.
"I.." Yugi tried to read the board, it was too blurry. "I-I don't know ma'am." Yugi replied a slightly dazed expression on his face.
The whole class with the exception of Kari, Arora, Lily, Rene, Trista, Kaiba, Joey, Tristan, Tea and Serenity laughed. Mrs. Chitsumi got up from her desk and pulled Yugi to a standing position.
Yugi stood there dumb struck. He didn't seem to know where he was, or who was around him,
"Mr. Motou! Answer the question!" Mrs. Chitsumi yelled angrily. Again Yugi didn't seem to notice. This time he didn't even motion his eyes toward the teacher.
"Yug?" Joey stood up without permission and ran over to Yugi. He shoved the teacher out of the way, but not on purpose.
Yugi stared blankly out the window.
//Yugi what are you looking at? // Still no response from Yugi.
"YUGI!" Tea ran over next to him.
"ALL OF YOU TAKE YOUR SEATS!" Mrs. Chitsumi yelled.
Yugi took his seat, still silent.
"Mr. Motou, detention!" Mrs. Chitsumi was in a horrible mood after that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Tea and Joey took Yugi to the nurses office after class but that only ended in disaster the whole of the nurses office was covered in bandaids, gozes, and rubbing alcohol was on the floor.
"Yug! What did ya do that for?!" Joey's voice rose to a higher level of anger. Once again no answer formed on Yugi's lips.
"Yugi answer Joey!" Tea's voice echoed in Yugi's head. Again no answer. Yugi walked silently down to the lunch room and took his seat with a simple lunch.
//What's going on with Yugi? // Yami asked aloud. Yugi didn't say a word.
"What's going on with Yugi mutt?" Joey looked up from his soup to Kaiba, then at Yugi, then at Kaiba again.
"I got no clue. He's been like this since class."
"We all know that mutt..." Kaiba muttered a few colourful words and looked back to Yugi who hadn't touched his food at all.
"Arn't you hungry Yug?" Joey asked. Yugi simply shook his head 'no'.
"Let's get you home," Lily said.
"No, I'll look after him, but we need some privacy and a large amount of space," Arora's voice intercepted and Yugi looked up.
"Hey he responds to you!" Tea screamed.
"Yugi what's wrong?" Arora asked.
"Don't feel well..."
"Why?" Arora moved around and sat by Yugi.
"Well?" Lily asked impaintnly well tapping her fingers on the cafateria table.
"I...don't know," Yugi replied in a dull voice.
"Ok, do you want to go home?" Arora asked.
"NO!" Yugi looked up, he had emotion in his eyes and he looked like he was ready to talk to the others.
"Yugi you came back to reality," Tea ran around the table and gave him a huge hug.
********************************************************************
Watery: Grrr..
********************************************************************
Seto stood next to Yugi.
"You sure you don't want to go home?"
"Yeah..." Yugi seemed a little dis-spearited.
"Okay..." Kaiba walked out of the lunch room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Gym was a walk in the park for Kaiba, Joey, Duke and Tristan. The girls had a seperate class. Yugi who was slower than most, was especially slow today.
"Motou pick up the pace," Kaiba said catching the basketball and sinking it into the net.
"I-I'll-try!" Yugi panted. Without a reason Yugi fell onto the floor, as usual, but this time he didn't get up. The other five players on the opsoing team came and incircled Yugi. The teacher just happened to be talking to the principal outside the gym.
A boy with long raven hair tied up in a pony tail spoke up, "Hey look here boys, spiky hair is taking a nap. Why don't we wake him up?"
"Sure thing Jimmy!" The four responded.
All in one quick fluid motion, Joey, Kaiba, Duke, and Tristan stood up. As they did the five boys started to kick Yugi vilently, along with a few whips of the ball. Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Kaiba rushed in. They threw each one to the ground.
"Yug!" Joey gently tried to shake Yugi awake. No use, he woudn't wake up.
"What, is the git Seto Kaiba going to stand up for the former king of games. Doesn't look so royal now does he?" Jimmy continued to taunt Seto.
Kaiba looked at Yugi. He had a bruised side, bloodied up face, and his ankle had been crushed again and again.
"Don't push me, wait...you already did!" Seto ran at Jimmy landing a direct hit to the face, Seto lifted up his knee and landed a kick in the gut, he crashed Jimmy's head into his knee and let Jimmy fall to the ground just as the gym teacher stepped in.
"MR. KAIBA! MR. RICECRY! MY OFFICE NOW!" The principal shouted.
"Wait sir," Joey stepped in front of Kaiba.
"What now Mr. Wheeler?" Mr. Iron-Muscle asked
"Yug collapsed onto the floor. Jummy..."
"IT'S JIMMY!" The four boys shouted.
"Whatever his name is, and these four wise guys attacked Yug when he was down. Look at Yug," Joey's finger pointed at Yugi.
"Oh my, Mr. Motou! I'll call the nurse!"
"Sir, that is not the best idea either. We had a little run in with the nurse ealier."
"I see Mr. Wheeler," the principal looked at the gym teacher. "Call the hospital, I don't think a school nurse will help."
"Yes sir..." Mr. Iron-Muscle moved swiftly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Tea, Kari, and Lily looked up from their health clas to see an ambulance drive up. Lily, Tea, Kari, Serenity, and Arora looked shocked to see who it was.
"YUGI!" Tea screamed tears streaming down her face.
"Miss Gardner take your seat!" Mrs. Tampon yelled.
"I CAN'T!" Tea yelled running out of the room, only to be followed by Lily, Kari, Arora and Serenity. The whole class of girls looked out the window to see Yugi being rushed into an ambulance.
"YUGI!" They all squiled.
*******************************************************************
Watery: Cries MY YUGI!
Tea: What happened to him?!
Watery: How should I know!
Kari: You write this story!
Arora: YEAH!
Watery: I know...Crying...Leave me alone!
********************************************************************
"GIRLS' TAKE YOUR SEATS!"
"Yes ma'am," they all sighed, some of them crying. (A/N:Crying They got no right to!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
"Oh god," Tea cried into Duke's shoulder.
"He'll be ok," Kaiba said, and then thought, 'I hope so.'
Yugi woke up and pulled on his school uniform. He wobbled a little.
//Yugi should you really be going to school? // Yami asked a tired Yugi.
