R.J: Okay, here's chapter 12.
Bakura: My, aren't we sad today?
R.J: I hate my friends.
Yugi: Us? Why?
R.J: No not you, just some people.
Ryou: Oh, them? Bah, just forget about them, the retards.......
Kaiba: Yeah, friends just pull you down in the end anyway.
Tea: No they don't they-
Bakura: Who let Her in here? * Grabs Tea and stuffs her in a cabinet.*
R.J: Wow, you didn't have to do that................
Bakura: I wanted to do it, hehehehe.............
Yugi: O.o, um yeah, R.J does not own YGO.
R.J: Yeah....... And to the readers, don't worry, Ryou's not gonna give up that easily........ *evil grin*
All: *backs away*
**************************************************************************** **************************
Ryou watched as Kaiba pulled Ayane close to him and began to murmur something to her. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. His hand clenched into a tight fist, as he turned and ran away from the sight.
Ayane rested her head on Kaiba's shoulder. She couldn't deny it, she felt something strong for him, but she didn't know if it was love. She didn't know if she could allow herself to fall in love.
Kaiba tightened his grasp on her. Was this really love? He didn't know. All he knew, was that he didn't want this person to get away. He wouldn't admit now, that she was special, maybe different. This girl hadn't liked him because he was rich or any of those shallow reasons. She didn't idolize him to the point of being a god. No, she stood on equal ground with him, but still he had fallen for her.
"Ayane?" Kaiba asked slowly.
"Hmmmm?" Ayane replied.
"That day you first came here, Ms.Misaku asked if you wanted to change lab partners, but you didn't, why didn't you?"
She laughed a bit. "Do you think it was stupid, Seto?"
Kaiba paused a bit at the mention of his first name. "No, all I want to know is why you did it. I didn't think you were an obsessive lunatic then, but it was still strange." He said coldly.
A laugh. She then freed herself from his grasp, and faced him.
"Seto, always remember, the reason I'm here right now, is not because I'm your partner, or because I was forced to be stuck with you for a whole year." She said. "But, because, I chose to. It's my choice." She smiled at him, then stood up.
"The bell's going to ring soon, and I still have to go to the auditorium." Ayane smiled. She waved as she walked ran towards the building.
Kaiba sat still for a moment. He closed his eyes and tried to block out the distant sound of the bell ringing. Her voice echoed in his head.
"Because I chose to."
"It was my choice."
"Seto........."
**************************************************************************** *********************************
Ayane ran to the school building. She pushed the door open and was greeted by Tea, who seemed to be looking for something.
"Um, hey Tea, what you looking for?" Ayane asked.
"What? Oh, Ayane, I was just looking for one of my ballet shoes, it sort of got lost when I dropped my bag." Tea said.
"Oh, I'll help you look for it." Ayane said.
After about 10 minutes of looking around the main hall, Tea finally found it under one of the bulletin boards. She picked it up, dusted it off and put it in her bag.
"So, you think you'll get in?"
"Huh? Oh, well I guess I have a good a chance as any." Tea said.
"Oh, don't worry about it." Ayane laughed.
The two walked along the hall for a while, until they had to go separate ways. Ayane was about to climb up the staircase when Tea called her.
"Ayane?"
"Yeah?"
"I've got to ask you something."
"Um, sure, shoot."
"Yeah, um, just wondering, I don't know how to put this but.......do you like Kaiba?"
"What?"
"Do you like Kaiba?"
Ayane stopped for a while. "Uhm, why?"
"I just want to know."
"Oh."
"It's kind of funny actually." Tea laughed.
"Oh? Why?" Ayane peered, curious.
"Well, here we have a perfectly nice girl, who likes one of the most arrogant guys in the world, kind of ironic isn't it?" Tea wondered.
"Hmmm, it is, isn't it?"
"So you do like him?" Tea asked with a knowing smile.
"I don't know, yes, maybe? I guess so." Ayane said, not being able to organize her thoughts.
"Huh? Which one is it?"
"I don't know. To be honest, I don't know. I want to be able to say something, but I'm not sure about it." Ayane sighed thoughtfully.
Tea smiled. "Well, don't worry about that now."
"Oh, by the way, how are things going with Yugi?"
Tea blushed. "What do you mean?"
"I meant it quite literary Tea."
"Oh, things are going........fine. I guess." Tea trailed.
"Hmmm, okay." Ayane nodded, she waved and started up the staircase, leaving Tea with her thoughts.
"Things are going fine." She mumbled.
**************************************************************************** *****************************
Ryou walked through the empty halls of Domino High., only half of him conscious. Half of him thinking, reflecting even, on what he had seen earlier. Did Ayane love Kaiba? Did it work the other way around? He shook his head. Kaiba was the meanest, most arrogant, most cold person you could find. Then a little voice in him (no this isn't Bakura, he's off floating somewhere.) started to say, "He's also tall, handsome and intelligent. That's enough reason for any girl."
Ryou sighed. He was just about ready to run back home where he could just lock himself up in his room. He fumbled in his pocket where he found the list of clubs. He stared at the choices sulkily, not really caring. His eyes caught site of the school newspaper. He wondered about it, he didn't have any remotely relative experience on journalism, or even narrative writing, unless you count all those "what I did over my summer vacation." Essays he did in elementary school.
He looked at the room assigned for the screenings. The room was just one floor above where he was right now. Deciding to go for it, he climbed up the stairs and was surprised to see Yugi heading for the same room.
"Hey Yugi! Didn't think I'd find you here." Ryou greeted his friend.
"Hi Bakura, same goes for me." Yugi smiled. But then frowned. "Your Yami isn't hear by any chance, is he?"
"Oh, no, he's floating around, somewhere." Ryou shrugged.
"Yeah, so is mine. I was just afraid they might break out into a fight or something." Yugi laughed.
Ryou nodded. Soon, a girl with caramel colored spiky short hair came out of the room and invited them in. They were asked to fill out an identification form. When they were done, they handed it to her and she handed both of them a medium sized white envelope.
"In each envelope is a picture. Take your time to review it, then write anything about it, anything from a review, a critique, a reaction, anything at all, it's up to you." The girl said, struggling with opening the envelope in her hands. After she had finally opened it, she smiled at the two boys and went to meet some people who had just entered.
Yugi and Ryou looked at each other, then to their envelopes. Yugi tried to simply peel the flap off but it was stuck hard. He tried peeling it off with more force, still it remained closed. Ryou looked the envelope over and began twisting it in different directions. Eventually he got his open by using one of the more pointy parts of the millennium ring. Yugi, instead of resorting to his item, went to the student-in-charge and asked for a pair of scissors.
**************************************************************************** *****************
Kaiba walked up the staircase carefully, watching if any stalkers were near by. As he reached the floor where the computer rooms were at, he reflected on his o-so "special" lab partner.
"I love her." Kaiba said to himself, just to test out the feeling. It sounded so wrong and right at the same time.
Kaiba shook the thoughts out of his head. What was he thinking? What was he thinking? He reached the computer rooms and pushed open the doors. He was handed an application form. He filled it out as slowly as possible, just wanting to forget every complication right now.
**************************************************************************** ******************
Ayane was running up the stairs when she realized she wasn't going anywhere in particular. Slowly, she took out the list of clubs from her pocket.
"Hmm, what should I- hey, maybe I should try out for the sports club!" She said thoughtfully.
She then started to laugh to herself for a while, then sighed.
"I'm turning Autistic."

R.J: Hey everybody gomen if it's short.
Bakura: What's wrong with you anyway?
R.J: I've lost inspiration, they just keep airing re-runs of YGO!
Yami: No new episodes? Aww, that sucks.......
R.J: I don't expect you guys to leave a review......
Bakura: Yeah, don't expect her to update either, bwahahahaha *gets hit on the head by a pyramid.*
