Chapter Ten



After a long day of school, the gang of five sat laughing at the Domino Ice Cream Parlor. Neon signs illuminated a darkening evening as they sat at a booth. The store was very crowded but they managed to find a good seat. "Let go of my cherry!" Joey yelled at Tristan, who grabbed a plump red berry out of a fudge sundae.



Tristan played Joey for a couple of minutes before eating the cherry himself. His friend gave a furious glare and then sat back down on the leather seats. Joey's golden blond hair was a bit frayed, much like everyone else, from the hard school Monday. All of them but Yugi despised there school. After a minute of enjoying the sweet taste of ice cream, everyone relaxed. "So, Yugi, are you dating anyone?" Tristan asked.



Tea gave Tristan a bad look but shook it off before anyone saw. "Yeah, if not." she said, quickly thinking of an excuse. "I was gonna set you up with Serenity."



"Not my sis!" Joey yelled but broke down laughing. "Brother protectivness."



Yugi gave a very small glance at Yami. "No, I'm dating."



"Honestly?!" Tea asked. "Who?"



"I'm in no position to say." Yugi laughed. "Or not yet anyways."



Yami chuckled. "A secret admirer Yugi?"



The three friends looked at Yami confused. "Wouldn't you know Yami?"



Yami's eyes shifted to Tristan but Joey spoke up. "Yeah, it ain't like you two don't talk. Come one Yug' spill the beans!



"No." Yugi replied, a little stricter than usual. "I'll tell you all soon enough."



"Let's eat before our ice cream melts." the other suggested and they all began to casually eating again.



"I love Cherry Ice" Tristan smiled at Joey.



Joey grew red hot mad. "Shut it Tris."



Tea laughed and drank her milk shake silently. No one really wanted to make the two boys uncomfortable, but they just had to know. Non really knew why, but it was so unusual to keep secrets from each other. "Yug' are you-." everyone looked up to see Joey. "Are you dating Yami?"



Everyone turned to Yugi. Tristan and Tea went pale and Joey blushed. "We are dating." Yami whispered. "But don't say any of this to no one. If you do, I will kill you or banish you to the soul room."



"Heh, I can't believe you told them." Ryou smiled. Yami glared at the white haired boy. Ryou Bakura was about 5'5 and goes with them to the same school. Of course, Yami knew the real Ryou had an evil side to him. His name was Bakura, because of Ryou's last name.



Yugi and friends, didn't know about Bakura. "Hey Ryou, so I guess you found out too."



The other boy smiled and nodded. "I won't tell anyone either, it can be our secret." His British accent proved he wasn't from Domino at all.



Yami caught a glisten in their friend's eyes and paled. Everyone was going to find out by Bakura. He knew that the ancient tomb raider wanted blood from the pharaoh. His Egyptian history still haunted him, and now, it was going to get much worst.
