Chapter Seventeen



A cold wind slipped into the morning air as Bakura sat down on an old wooden bench beside a small playground for the littler students from grades 5-1. "Tell me why we are here." Yami said, no longer holding in questions for Bakura.



"Because somebody would like to meet you." the white haired boy smiled, letting the wind blow his bangs into his face.



Joey walked up to them. "Yami, Yug'. You gotta get outta here!" he said, his blond hair blowing softly and his brown eyes glistening with nearly fallen tears.



"Joey, are you alright?" Tristan asked, but his words went unheard as Yami turned towards Joey.



"Don't worry Joey, I already know what has happened, I don't plan on sticking around for Kiaba anymore." with that he began to walk off.



Yugi didn't follow. "Yami, how did you know who was going to meet us? What if it's Ryou or something?"



"I just know." his boyfriend shrugged, turning back to him. "Come on, I'm tired of this."



"What if he has proof?" Bakura asked absently. "Who would care if little Yugi got beaten everyday from the racism that pours as thick as blood in this school?"



Tea turned to him. "Both of you wouldn't dare!"



"We would, unless Yami can do something for me." Kiaba said, walking towards the bench from a door on the side of the playground. It lead to the gym.



"What?" Yami asked casually, facing the two boys.



Kiaba took out a photo of Amanda. "Go back out with her and we'll see if you can really do what we want."



"Your insane!" Tristan yelled. "Yami, don't even consider it.



Natalie suddenly came through the gym doors. She looked scared but didn't dare to look at Yami. "This is Nat." Kiaba smirked. "I want you to take her to the dance."



"No." Yami replied easily. "Why do you want me to do something so stupid?"



Bakura looked at Kiaba. " He's doing as a test moron."



"What if he refuses?" Tea butted in.



"Then we tell 1 person in our school about Yami and Yugi." Kiaba smiled as he pulled out photos of the two kissing.



"Where? How?!" Yami growled. His anger stretching high.



With a shrug Kiaba smiled. "I need you to take Nat to the dance."



"Go ahead Yami. It's not like we can go together." Yugi reassured. All of their friends nodded to keep a good presence in the air. There was tension stirring everywhere, and knowing Yami, he will fight. It's in his blood to fight. Natalie walked over to him.



With a small gaze she caught Yami's crimson eyes. They were hard and cold, usually they would be bright. "Kiaba has a plan going through this Yami. Don't agree, we can think of a way to get by this."



Yami shook his head, no. "Alright Kiaba you win. I'll take Natalie to the dance alright? Now can I have the pictures?"



"No." Bakura came into the action and grabbed the photographs. "I want them for safe keeping." Kiaba nodded and everyone was shocked. Usually Kiaba would grab the photos back or something! Not just nod, maybe there was a plan out of the blackmailing mailing. It wasn't really blackmail though because this was just a test to see if Yami could do a date. What were they planning next?
