A/N: Okey-dokey time for the third chapter. Yay! Rachel: *eye roll* Grr. yes anyway this chapter takes place the next day. It's in Yuugi's POV.

Unmentionable Words Chapter three

"Koi? Wake up you'll be late for school if you don't hurry." He brushes the bangs out of my face kissing me softly.

I sigh sitting up in bed "Morning. What time is it?" I glance over at the clock before jumping out of bed shouting, "I'm going to be late!" Yami has barely enough time to get out of my way as I hurtle towards the closet grabbing my school uniform.

He laughs and shakes his head, handing me the hairbrush I can't see to find. "I just said that." He's still grinning as he wraps his arms around my waist, pressing up against my back.

"Yami. I'm gonna be late" reluctantly I pull away and walk in to the bathroom to finish getting ready. "We'll play later." I say winking and then I close the door smiling at the blush that was rising on his cheeks. I love it when he gets embarrassed, it's easier to do than one would think.

************************************************************************

I walk towards the table we all share during lunch. Everybody's there, Kiaba has his arms around Ryou who is blushing furiously and trying to talk to Joey. Smiling, I think, "That has to be hard." They've been openly together for a few weeks at first there were a few threats by some bullies but Kiaba convinced them to be a little bit more open-minded, nobody has bothered them since.

Mia is trying her best to get Tea to wear makeup, bad idea. Tristan is sitting at the farthest end of the table, not looking at anybody. I wonder what's up with him? Maybe he needs to talk to someone. I put my tray down and he looks up then quickly looks away.

"What's up Tristan?" His head is buried in his arms and he moans, "I'm such an idiot Yuugi!" He begins banging his head on the table. "How could I do that? How?"

"Erm. Tristan maybe you should stop and explain what you're talking about.

"I'm *bang* such *bang* an *bang* idiot." *bang*"

Joey pokes me in the arm "Hey Yug? What's wrong with him?"

I shrug and look at Tristan who is now banging his head so hard that his tray is rattling. I grab his shoulder "Tristan! Why are you an idiot?"

He looks completely miserable as he stops to answer my question. "I kissed him. I couldn't help it. He looked so upset. I just had to." With that he continues banging his head on the table.

"Him? Him who? I thought you liked my sister." Joey moved over to sit on the other side of Tristan holding him up so he couldn't hit his head any longer. "Who?"

"Him." I say pointing to the raven-haired DDM creator. He's walking toward the table, eyes on Tristan. I've known about Tristan's little crush for a while now but if he kissed him I guess it's not just a little crush

Joey looks around wildly "What? Where? I don't see him."

"Oh no." Tristan moans, "I should leave." I grab for his arm but he's already up and running through the cafeteria.

Joey's still asking me who it is when Duke sits down in the spot that was recently vacated by the woe stricken Mr. Taylor.

Sighing I say "Him." pointing to Duke.

"Me what?" He asks looking at me. "Why are you staring at me like that Joey? Am I more stunning than usual?" He laughs and tosses his hair but his jade green eyes are troubled and I can tell that something is wrong.

"Him!" Joey still hasn't recovered from the dog suit incident. He's friends with Duke now but I don't think he likes the idea of Tristan and Duke kissing.

Sighing I nod "Yes him. Now why don't you go talk with Tristan? I'll stay here." Joey nods and walks off in the direction that Tristan went. Duke is still looking at me with a puzzled look on his face but I think the mention of Tristan is helping him figure it out.

"Yuugi will you please fill me in? I don't appreciate be the subject of a conversation that I know nothing about." He bites the apple he got for lunch and looks at me expectantly. "Well? I have other things to take care of today and I don't have time to waste."

"Uh. well Tristan was, um, telling us about something and um. Well uhh."

"Oh." His eyes flicker but I can't catch the emotion hidden there. "I see. Well if that's all I have to talk with Kiaba." He quickly moves over to sit beside Kiaba and begins to talk urgently with him.

Ryou taps on my shoulder and sits down next to me. "Hello Yugi. Have you heard the news?" He looks excited; his face is glowing with pleasure.

I shake my head "No, what news?" What could it be that's got him, usually so quite and cautious even now that he has Kiaba, so excited?

"Pegasus died about two days ago but nobody know about it because Industrial Illusions is trying to keep it quiet until the company is stable again. Of course by that time it won't be Industrial Illusions anymore it'll be part of Kiaba Corp."

Pegasus is dead? Really? Wow. I mean I knew he was sick when we left the island but I never thought that he would die. Industrial Illusions is becoming part of Kiaba Corp.?"

"Yeah." He nods proud of his koi. "Seto struck a deal with them last night. He's agreed to hack into Pegasus' computer to get the company up and running again, everything vital to running it was all within Pegasus' computers and nobody can hack in. But as payment Industrial Illusions is merging with Kiaba Corp.."

I'm shocked it's amazing how fast things can happen. "Kiaba must be happy."

"Yes, he is." He says nodding and looking over at Kiaba and Duke who are now deep in conversation, with Duke gesturing wildly and Kiaba just nodding calmly.

"I wonder what they're talking about? Any ideas?" I ask trying to keep up the conversation.

"None whatsoever. Probably business." He shrugs and nod finally getting a chance to eat my lunch. I take a bite out of my sandwich but I don't even get to enjoy it because Joey comes up behind me reaching for a napkin. "Hey Joey! How'd it." I turn to look at him watching the white napkin turn red with the blood that's streaming profusely from his nose.

"Hey dog, what happened to you?" Kiaba asks sneering. He crosses his legs "Did you get into a fight with some mangy mutt like yourself?"

"Seto, please don't." Ryou turns to look at him his eyes sad.

Kiaba's look softens and his icy blue stare warms a little. "Only for you." He says and Ryou smiles.

Joey grabs another napkin off the table and Tea who has managed to get Mia off her back for one moment notices what's going on and offers to get some ice for the black eye that's forming rapidly on Joey's pale skin.

"Would ya Tea?" She nods and walks over to the lunch line.

"Joseph!" Mia screeches and everybody winces. "Were you fighting? Urgh!"

"Now Mia let him explain." I try. She calms down but still doesn't look happy. "What happened Joey? Did Tristan-?"

"Yeah." He replies taking the cup of ice from Tea. "He said I shouldn't be messing in his business and that I should leave him alone. But well you saw how he was acting Yug so I didn't go away and he got kind of violent. But man, I can't believe he chose you of all people," he continues looking at Duke not noticing my warning look "to get all worked up on. I just don't understand it how could he kiss you like that?"

Duke pales and looks away but that's not nearly as bad as how Tristan reacts. None of us noticed him come up behind us but we do now as he starts to yell at Joey, "Just tell the entire world why don't you! I was an idiot! I made a mistake and I would like to keep that little fact unknown okay! Christ!" and then he storms off, back out the cafeteria door and I have a feeling that if we were to look his motorcycle wouldn't be in the parking lot any longer.

"Jackass." Joey mutters walking off in the opposite direction leaving me to keep this from exploding even further in our faces. No such luck.

Everyone gapes at Duke but he's not paying attention. He just stares at the spot where Tristan was in shattered disbelief. "A mistake?" He questions the air sounding desperate to know the answer. He begins to shake and runs out of the lunchroom as the bell rings melding in to the crowds.

A/N: Okay I know Mia is too old to be in high school, or at least I think she is, but it's so much easier this way. So please let it slide this time. I actually had a different ending paragraph but I like this a whole lot better. It's nice and dramatic. ^_^ I'm starting to really get in to this. I hope to have the next chapter up by the weekend but I still have a lot of stuff to do for school and only 12 days to do 'em in. So the next chapter is my second priority. Ciao and please review.
