Oh and Sakura will play a bigger part later in the story. Very later. Extremely later. Gosh... '
Aw, I made you smile? That's good! Smiling is good. XD I'm sorry the previous chapter was a um... disappointment, but I get a feeling this one will be too.

Chapter Four
Almost a year had passed since Sakura left, and already, it was time for the two boys to start school. During the long year they spent without Sakura, the Elders had discovered another strange thing that connected the two. They had the same birthday. Well, it wasn't really the same. They assumed that the day they found Yami, was the day that he was born. And that day, was the day Yuugi was born. It was still not clear on whether the two were born on the same day or not.
Together, they shared a birthday party, before starting school. The first day of school started, and Yuugi was nervous. Yami remained emotionless as he stood beside Yuugi before their classroom. Yuugi shook nervously as he forced on a laugh. The door sure looked tall, taller than Sakura. Yami sighed, tired of the small one's hardly audible whimpers, grabbed his hand gently, pulling both inside the room.
It has been almost a year, and still they couldn't forget about Sakura. After two months of her departure, their long distance contact had suddenly stopped. Yuugi had been worried for weeks and that made Yami worry. Still, they made it somehow. Their new problem, school, waited for them as they slowly entered the classroom, Yuugi unwilling to move much.
Luckily, Yami and Yuugi got the same class so they could be together, even in school. The new surroundings frightened Yuugi, and he'd never seen that many people together in one place. Not much later, Yuugi's apprehension turned in bewilderment. He just couldn't believe it.
Yami exhaled and pulled Yuugi along to their seats. School went by quite quickly, and already, it was time to go home. It was back to the orphanage for Yami and Yuugi. The two was lucky to have come from a special orphanage where they'd be able to go to public school and not do homeschooling. Even so, coming from an orphanage and going to public school caused problems.
"You stupid orphans, move!" yelled one of the third years as he shoved Yami and Yuugi out of the way. Yuugi fell, dragging the elder with him. Yami got up and brushed dirt off, then went to help his friend up. Once Yuugi was up, their hands linked, Yami turned around to glare at the upperclassmen.
"What's with that glare? You should learn to respect your elders!" The tallest of the three upperclassmen slapped Yami across the face and laughed.
Yami was about to lung at them, and beat all three into a bunch of bloody pulps, but resisted. The one who slapped Yami sneered at him, then left with his goons in tow. Yami panted, turning to tend to Yuugi, who was breathing heavily. Yuugi's eyes were wide as he reached for Yami's reddened cheek.
"Did it hurt?" He shook his head, then led Yuugi home, hoping that along the way, they wouldn't run into more people like those three.
The next day, the three goons, Sai, Kane, and Gen picked on Yuugi while Yami was away getting lunch for both of them. When he returned, he found Yuugi cornered against a tree, frightened out of his wits. Yami dropped their lunches and rammed into the one closest of Yuugi. An all out war started, and Yuugi wept, yelling at them to 'stop it'.
Yami, Yuugi, and their three bullies got sent home with a warning that if they ever fought again, they'd be expelled. Fortunately, the warning was only for the two, and not for the three goons. They had been expelled that day, having started fights many times before. They walked home since no one at the orphanage could come and pick them up. Yami held Yuugi's hand and glared at everyone who looked at two. Yuugi walked silently along, every once in a while, glancing at Yami's injuries. He had a black eye, several bruises, and his head was bandaged messily by the school nurse.
Along their way home, they were about to walk pass an alley when someone, or someones, called out to the two. Curiosity got the better of them, and they entered the alley with Yami in front, and Yuugi trailing behind.
"So, little Yami, little Yuugi, didn't think you'd get away, did you?" hissed a voice from behind them. Yami quickly turned around and there stood Sai in all his sneering glory. Though Sai was taller, Yami wasn't intimidated. Yuugi stared at the entrance that was currently blocked and whimpered beside Yami. The elder squeezed his hand reassuringly from behind and his glare came on twice-fold.
"I won't let you touch Yuugi," he growled ferally, "I won't."
Sai was almost scared by his underclassman's quick change of attitude. Almost. He snorted and snapped his fingers. Kane and Gen cracked their knuckles, walking ever closer to the two, ready to give them a beating. Yami stepped backward with Yuugi, until they were pressed against a wall. He glared again and remained standing in front of Yuugi. Yuugi was scared, not for his own safety, but for his friend. He stepped out from behind of Yami, and stood in front of him.
"You can't hurt Yami! Yuugi won't let you!" he screeched, afraid that he made a mistake by yelling at the bullies.
There was silence at first, but the enemies started to advance on the two again. Yami snarled and replaced Yuugi with himself. They continued to advance, until a light shone in front of Yami blinding him, and the bullies. Taking a chance, he searched for Yuugi's hand, then pulled both of them out of the ally. Yuugi giggled, having escaped unhurt from the bullies. Yami just shook his head, absolutely amazed with the little one's behavior.
From inside the ally, the bullies recovered, but before they could reach the two, they had already started to run away.
"Run, Yuugi!" said Yami in a lighthearted manner, glad that neither one of them was hurt, but mostly because Yuugi wasn't hurt.
"You too," chirped Yuugi. They ran straight back to the orphanage, and stopped before the door, catching their breaths. Yami gazed at their linked hands for a few seconds, smiled to himself, then opened the door to go inside their home, together.
