Mob: *let's out a frustrated sigh* (great now I have to explain what went
on in the last chapter *growl*) Okay, for some reason you people got it all
wrong.
It's your mistake.
Don't like don't read.
Kids, this is a drama/angst I'm writing here!
It's not supposed to be happy, gomen for being harsh, but the world isn't filled with sunshine, all right! Not all stories have a happy ending, y'know? (No it's not the ending) So, I'm going to give you a warning,
it's only going to get worse.
So if you think you can't handle it, then you better leave right now. I don't want to put up with your shitty flames, I spend my time writing this for FREE, so appreciate my updates, even if they are screwed up. Malik is supposed to be a nutcase, so if you don't like then don't read!!!
Okay, you people asked for Marik and now you will get what you've all been waiting for. Wow, I had no idea there were so many Marik fans out there... alright, well, on with the fic.

~Chapter 13~
Amane yawned and stretched out into her desk, mind scattered. Malik showed up today, his wrist wrapped up in a bondage. He took his seat next to Amane, Amane couldn't help but stare at him. His eyes met hers, it was funny. Malik didn't look like the suicidal type at the moment, his body language was sending out waves that his emotions were neutral. Finally wondering why the blue haired was staring, Malik sat up.
"What?" He said in a sort of bitter tone. Amane slouched, okay, so Malik wasn't in a neutral mood. She quickly looked away, Malik grabbed her shoulder, "No, don't look away, tell me, what are you looking at?"
Amane slumped down, "Nothing, nothing at all Malik. I'm sorry for- staring at you and your wrist- eh-" Amane blurted, she mentally slapped herself, Malik raised his eyebrows, examining his wrist. He slowly unwrapped it and forced Amane to look at the damage he had done to himself, eyes glaring into hers.
"This is what it is. See? No big deal,"
"... ... ..."
She watched Malik wrap his wrist back up and then face the opposite way. She couldn't figure it out. Just as she started off in her own world, Malik tossed something on her desk. Without hesitation, she picked it up and question marks drew from her head. What was on her desk was...a postal stamp? Why the hell would Malik give her a stamp? She wondered, Malik's eyes darted towards hers, "It's more of what you want."
Amane blinked. "Wha?"
Malik shifted his gaze to the front of the room, "You know what I'm talking about, the more of what you want from Bakura but you can't have." He said, Amane looked at the stamp. No way, was this actually some kind of drug? It was just a stamp! Malik must be really losing it. "You lick it. Then it does the rest for you." He muttered, the teacher finally walking inside the classroom, Amane immediately jammed it into the pocket of her skirt. She looked at Malik, "Thanks."
Ryou's classroom
Ryou glared at the wooden desk in front of him. He was angry. He was pissed. He wanted nothing to do with Bakura anymore. That jerk obviously didn't like him anymore, so now Ryou went back to the occasional world, what guys were supposed to do, like girls. Bakura stood in front of his desk, trying to explain. Ryou of course blocked him out. He didn't want to hear what was coming out of the other boys mouth. He knew it would end up hurting him even more.
"Listen to me Ryou,"
"No."
"Ryou-"
"Get away."
"I'm not going to hide it anymore. You've been through enough. I'm going to tell Malik later today." Bakura said, Ryou rolled his eyes and gave a dry laugh. Like he was going to fall for that. Not again. Nope, he was going to as strong as a rock. Bakura still stood there, looking into Ryou's eyes, starting to make Ryou uncomfortable. "I care for you, even though I don't show it. Sure I care for Malik, but not as much as I care for you."
"Who do you like better? Are there others too? Tell me, Bakura, because I'm listening now."
"You."
Ryou looked away immediately, feeling a blush coming on. "No, there's not anyone else. I don't like Malik the way I like you." Ryou looked up now, "Really?" He said, Bakura nodded, Ryou smiled. "I like you too Bakura." Ryou said, smiling even more.
Amane's classroom
The teacher walked out of the classroom. Amane looked over at Malik, "Hey, Malik!"
"Meh?"
"Meet me in the hallway on the way to lunch, I need to talk to you, okay?" Amane said, Malik nodded. The bell rang, the students were then dismissed to go to lunch. The two scurried their ways past the other students and met in the middle of the hall. Malik looked up, "So, what's up?"
"I know someone who cares about you," Amane said, Malik scratched his head.
"What?"
"You said nobody cared about you, well, I say you're wrong. I care about you, alot, but there is another that cares about you even more, in a different way."
"Bakura," Malik replied, Amane shook her head. "No. His name is Marik, do you recall him?" She asked, Malik stopped to think. Marik, oh yeah, that guy.... Amane dashed ahead, looking back to make sure Malik was following her. Sure enough, he was. He wondered, what does Marik want now? Malik ran after her, she suddenly came to a stop and turned the corner sharply, making Malik think that she was way ahead. He'd be sure enough to run into Marik by chance. Matchmaker Amane. Yep. Oh, how she was proud of her sneaky abilities. Malik scanned the students but he could not find that damn girl!
'I don't understand that chick,' Malik though and stomped on ahead, eventually finding Marik. He walked up to him, "Where's Amane?" He pouted, Marik shrugged. "I dunno, she told me to meet her here." He replied, Malik glared at anyone who dared look his way. It hit Malik's brain. Amane told him to meet her in the hall, she told Marik to meet her in the hall as well, so far, the only person missing was Amane. His eyes widened at the exact time Marik's did, they looked at each other.
"Eww!!!!" Both said and took a step back.
"I'm gonna kill that girl!" Malik stomped, Marik rolled his eyes. "Well, you know,.......- me first!!!" The two dashed down the halls, looking every corner for the girl. Finally they spotted her. Marik grabbed her by the arm, "EXPLAIN WOMAN!" He tightened his grip when Amane tried to move.
"Face it! You guys like each other, you'd make a good couple, blah blah blah, you know the rest. You both torture yourselves, you look exactly alike, and I know you two care about each other. So kiss, get together, be happy! And DON'T hurt yourselves anymore!" She said, shoving Marik's hand off of her arm and walking away. Malik looked at the floor, Marik stared at him. Malik's eyes slowly came up to meet Marik's. They both stared at each other.
"Nah." Both said then walked together to the cafeteria.
Amane pouted, she was screwing up everything she was doing! Was she just born to lose? Gah, she didn't like this. She sat down next to her usual group. Even though she was a grade younger than everyone at the table she still fit in. Bakura grinned, "About time you showed up." He said, Amane looked at him. Okay, what was he up to? Mai played around with her food with a plastic fork, not paying attention, seeing if the food was edible. Amane still kept her eyes on Bakura. Bakura handed her a paper with an address on it.
"Show up here at 7:00."
She looked at it, recognizing the address. "The Turtle Game Shop?...." She sweat dropped. Was this where everyone hung out around these days? Hmm, what was going on? Marik and Malik sat down next to Bakura. Marik's eyes darted to Bakura, "You told her already?' Bakura nodded. Marik sighed. "Just show up, okay?"
"Uh-huh, okay," She said then poked at her food with a fork, copying Mai.
"Hey Yugi," Ryou said, sitting down next to Jou and in front of Honda. Yugi looked up and gave his usual smile. "The other day you offered me a job at the Kame Game shop, right?"
"Uh-huh, yes, do you want it?" Yugi asked, Ryou nodded.
"Yeah, my dad said I had to. I still need to pay off those damages I made on my dad's car. He's outta town right now, so he doesn't have an idea that I still don't have a job. He's supposed to come home tomorrow to celebrate Amane's birthday," He took a swig of his coke then tapped at the table, bored. Jou jumped, "Tomorrow's ya sista's b-day?"
"You didn't know that Jou? Yeah, the rest of the gang (who usually sits at another table) is having the 'surprise' party for her at the gameshop. Jee, I didn't know you were that slow." Yugi joked, Jou slumped.
"Le'me 'lone."
Later After School
Amane waited impatiently for Ryou to get out of the school building. What the heck was taking that boy so long? Sheesh. Amane tapped her foot, debating on whether to go in and get him. After about a 5 minute wait, ryou came out trying to look as dull as ever. He had just found out about the part today. He was her brother, and even he didn't know about the surprise party. He couldn't show his excitement because it'd ruin the 'surprise.' "Finally, about time Ryou. You old lady." She snapped, Ryou looked up.
"Eh?"
Amane blinked. Ah, it wasn't important. She just wanted to get home and change, then see why they were all acting so weird. Minutes later the two arrived at the place they call home and entered it, each marching straight up to their rooms. Amane ran to her closet and picked out a red shirt and a long black skirt with chains on both. She then placed her black boots on her feet and put her screw earrings on. She walked out and went downstairs. Ryou walked out of his room and followed her downstairs wearing a black shirt and baggy black jeans with chains hanging down. Amane smirked.
"Gothy, much?"
"...Whatever, c'mon."
"Wait- where are you going?"
"Out. You're coming with me. Come on!" Ryou said, grabbing her hand and rushing her out of the house. "Wait- Ryou! I have to go to the gameshop!" She complained, Ryou shook his head. "Really? That's where I'm headed, to apply for a job there, you too? C'mon." He dragged her forward, Amane was getting ticked by the minute. She decided not to argue anymore because Ryou was plainly not listening to her. At last they approached the Kame Game Shop. Amane stepped in front of Ryou and turned the knob to the door.
Figures leapt out from the dark and screamed at her. "Surprise!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Mob: Yeah, I know, this chapter was LAME but I needed some stalling for what's going to happen later. What will happen to Amane? Will her dad find her secret stash of weed? Does Amane even smoke weed? Will Marik and Malik get hitched (hook up's more like it) XD XD XD. Will Ryou be in trouble for no apparent reason? Stick around to see what happens.
It's your mistake.
