~~Chapter 4~~
MLD: God, I have too much time on my hands! Especially now that school is finally out. Well, here's the fourth chapter!
Yami: Aren't you supposed to wait until you get a bunch of reviews to put up another chapter?
MLD: Yeah, but I don't care! I just like writing this particular fic, so, I'm continuing to do so. If you don't like, well to bad! Mwahahahahhahahahaha!!!
Yugi: Down girl. No freaking the readers (yet).
MLD: Sorry. Enjoy!
**********************************************
The drive to school was silent. Nobody new what to say to Yugi, and Yugi didn't exactly feel like starting any conversation, either. The high school was only two miles from the institute, so it took about ten minutes to get there. When they got to school, they still had fifteen minutes before the first bell. Scott didn't know what else to do, so he showed Yugi to his locker. When the bell rang, they said their good-byes and went their separate ways.
//So what's first, today, aibou?//
/Um...English./
//When's lunch?//
/10:31. That seems kinda early, but that's just from Tuesday to Thursday. It's at 10:50 on Mondays and Fridays./
//That's still kinda early.//
/Yeah, but the schedule's pretty weird, too. Today, we have periods 1, 2, lunch, then 3, 4./
//That's screwed up. You better hurry, you only have two minutes 'til the late bell.//
Yugi ran into the class room just as the bell rang. He found a seat in the back of the room and got out his text book and notebook.
//Where's the teacher?//
/I dunno. Maybe that's her behind the desk./
//Nah. Too young.//
/Your right. When do you...Holy shit!/
Just then, and ancient woman walked into the class room. She looked like she had been around since the dawn of time. (MLD: Think of the advisor from "The Emperor's New Groove". Good, now add white skin and real hair. Multiply by three. That's her!) When she spoke, her voice, even, sounded old and decrepit. "Hello class. My name is Mrs. Krause, for those of you who don't know. We have new student, today. Would Mr. Yugi Mutou please come to the front of the room."
Everybody stared turning around in their seats to look for the new kid. Yugi slowly rose from his seat and made his way to front. As he passed the rows of desks, people stopped searching and watched the small figure. He finally reached the front after what seemed like hours. The teacher turned him around and put her hands our his shoulders.
"This is Yugi Mutou from Domino City, Japan."
Yugi tilted his up to look at the teacher. He turned back around to the class and bowed. Everybody was confused by this gesture, so they kept staring at him.
"It is very nice to meet you all."
Yugi felt the teacher remove her hands and walk away. Yami, noticing Yugi nervousness, came out in transparent and wrapped his arms around Yugi's slim neck. At Yami's touch, though unfelt, Yugi began to turn red. A girl in the second row raised her hand.
"Yes, June. What do you want?" asked Mrs. Krause. (MLD: You can tell she's not a patient woman by any means. This is based on my English teacher, by the way. She really does look that bad, too.)
June stood up. "May I ask Yugi a question?"
Mrs. Krause sighed and looked exasperated. "I guess. If that's OK with him." She gave Yugi a sideways glance, as though daring him to defy her.
Yugi noticed the look, but blew it off as 'new kid syndrome.' (MLD: Basically means everybody hates the new kid. I got that big time when I first moved here. And you would expect five-year-olds to be impartial to that!) Yugi nodded his head slowly, not wanting Yami to let go or the teacher to get mad.
"Sorry, but why are you turning red?"
/She's politely nosy./
//Don't tell her. Make something up.//
/Of course! Do you really think I would tell anyone about you?/
//Well, there was that time when you had a couple of drinks and...//
/I get it. I get it./
Yugi blinked and replied, "Because you're all starring at me." He turned around to face the teacher. "May I go back to my seat, now?"
Mrs. Krause gave Yugi and intensely curious look and nodded. Yugi bowed to her, turned to the class, bowed towards them, and retreated to his seat.
/That could have gone better./
(MLD: Ack! Screw period two. VA and the other people who I know have Mrs. Cantalope hate her guts! VA: You bet'cha! MLD: WAH! Where'd you come from!? VA: *shrugs* MLD: Oh, brother! VA: Why am I here? MLD: *head in hands, shoos VA away* Go away. VA: *blinks* OK. BYE!)
************LUNCH TIME!***************
Evan, Kitty, Scott, Jean, Kurt, and Rogue were sitting at a table waiting for Yugi to show up.
Evan was looking around. They hadn't been waiting long, but he should have shown up by now. "Where is he? I want to ask him 'bout some strategies I've been working on!"
"Oh put a sock in it, will ya? You've talking about how great this guy is an' you haven't even talked to him! Why should we even let him sit here?" (MLD: X__X...I can't figure out how to do her southern accent! It's gonna drive me crazy trying to figure it out!) Rogue hadn't cared much for the kid since he had shown up. She had been forced into greeting him, which made her dislike him even more. She thought he was short, immature, use less, and beyond weird. Since Kitty had started the rumors that he had been in bed with a twin, or something, she was even more convinced of all of these. Except of him being short, you could just tell by looking at him.
"Don't be rude, Rogue. You know he doesn't have any friends, yet. We have help him get acclimated." Jean really didn't know what to think of Yugi. He acted nice enough, but he was quiet, and too, she felt, distant. The professor had told her that he had tried to enter the little one's mind, but had been blocked. This disturbed her. She didn't know that there could be any mutant as powerful as Yugi was at his age.
"I still don't know 'bout this guy. He's just, like, so weird! And don't say that I'm insane, Kurt. Like, you're the one who was hanging out with him last night. You obviously don't know how to judge character." Kitty still didn't like that Kurt thought that she was crazy. She had never said anything that wasn't at least the half truth.
"Yo! Don't dis da fuzzy man! Za kid's OK." Kurt spotted Yugi and waved him over. "Yugi! Over here!"
Yugi had seen them, but it didn't look like he had. He kept walking and, accidentally, walked right by them. Kurt jumped up and ran to catch up with Yugi. Kurt grabbed Yugi's arm and dragged him back. Yugi noticed what was happening and apologized profusely.
"Gomen nasai! I am so sorry! I don't know what happened. I guess I was just concentrating too hard, again." Yugi was very embarrassed. He sat down next to Kurt on the edge of the bench. They started talking about a dance that was coming up soon, so Yugi was only half interested.
//Sounds like fun.//
/Yeah. Too bad we can't go./
//Who says?//
/Me. Do you really think that we'd be allowed? And besides, we'd get the whole place practically to ourselves./
//You are naughty.//
Kurt had jumped up on the table, and was making a fool of himself.
"Da fuzzy man got da moves!" Kurt refused to stop yelling this at the top of his lungs, while dancing horribly, despite the dirty looks people kept giving him.
Scott was beginning to get annoyed, so he pulled Kurt down and back into his seat...By air?
"Hey, man! Watch za leash!" Kurt was rubbing his ass while wincing.
Yugi couldn't believe his eyes. /Did you see that, Yami?/
//I saw it, but don't believe it.//
/Maybe Scott grabbed one those chains Kurt has dangling from his belt loops./
//I don't think so.//
Yami had suddenly taken over Yugi's body. "How did you do that?"
Everybody at the table stopped what they were doing and looked at Yugi. He sounded different. His voice was deeper and more insistent. He also appeared to get taller and his eyes looked smaller and eviler.
"Uh...Kurt had a chain that was waving around in my face, so I pulled him down by it." Scott couldn't think of what else to say for the moment.
"I see." Yugi didn't sound convinced. Yami turned the body back over to Yugi, who went back to trying to figure out what had happened.
//We need to have a talk with Professor Xavier when we get back.//
/I agree./
After lunch, Yugi went to third period, social studies. (MLD: YECH! What's worse, the teacher's modeled after mine. He's not that bad, but he's sooooooo boring!) After that was fourth, tech. Yugi got to work on the school's web site and add a few things. RRRRRIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGG!!!!!!!
//What? Over already? When do we come back?//
/Tomorrow, 7:25. Here, they only go to school for six hours./
//Oh. That means we have more time to do other stuff.//
/Like what?/
//Like figure out who keeps trying to tap into our mind.//
/Oh, yeah./
Yugi walked home after asking for directions from Scott. He was very detailed. He had even given 'landmarks' by where Yugi needed to turn.
/We're almost there./
Yugi felt Yami come out in transparent. Yami wrapped his muscular arms around Yugi's waist and lifted him up so that his feet were barely touching the ground.
//I know.//
/Stop! Someone might see!/
//You don't really want me to.//
/Your right, but we might get caught./ "Besides, we're here."
Yugi walked into the foyer. "What's going on?!"
****************************************************************
MLD: CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!! Mainly 'cause I can't think of anything else to write right now.
Yami: You suck.
MLD: Uh...*looks at Yugi* Is that good or bad?
Yugi: *shrugs* How would I know?
MLD: Well, he is your yami. And you hang out with him the most. Oh, never mind! *sighs* Read and review, please. *walks away shaking head*
MLD: God, I have too much time on my hands! Especially now that school is finally out. Well, here's the fourth chapter!
Yami: Aren't you supposed to wait until you get a bunch of reviews to put up another chapter?
