Eureka! I've done it! I've edited all the chapters! Sugoi!! I'm so happy! I haven't changed a thing with any of them. I might have added minor details, but the story remains the same.
Disclaimer note: I don't own it, so "get off of my cloud"!!
And now, Chapter eight. Enjoy!
Chapter 8: Forced Extra Credit"Secrets Are Meant To Be Told..."
At the end of the time period, the nameless sensei, who had been sitting at her desk for about 10 minutes, stood up and walked to the front of the room. "Good news, you hooligans, you survived detention."
Who's she calling names! thought a frustrated Seto.
Hey! I'm no hooligan! Otogi thought angrily.
Jonouchi and Honda tried to repress their anger.
Yugi and Ryou said nothing. Except Ryou thought he heard Yugi sniffling.
"However..." sensei went on, "There's one more assignment before I dismiss you."
What? There's more? thought Ryou. Woe is me...!
"You WILL stand in front of the class and read what you wrote. Understood? It's extra credit, but I'm making you do it. You may leave when the bell rings." With this, No-Name-sensei left the classroom.
Seto slammed his fist on the desk, startling everybody. "This is bullcrap!!" he shouted. "I'm leaving."
Jonouchi jumped in front of him. "You are gonna park your rear right back in yer desk, Rich Boy!!"
"Whatever..." Seto mumbled. He reluctantly took his seat.
"Well, since I'm in the front of the room already, "Jono said, "I'll go first!" Jonouchi stood at the front of the room as he told his story about Mal the Purple-Spotted Flying Monkey!
When he was finished, he waited to see if he would get any comments before heading back to his desk. While walking back, he heard Otogi:
"Pfft! That was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard!!" Otogi said while cracking up laughing.
Jono waltzed up and pounded him on the head. "SHADDAP!!" he shouted.
"I liked it, Jonouchi!" Yugi said.
"I'm glad ya liked it, Yug!" Jono replied. "'Cause yer next!"
"Whaa...?" Yugi said, puzzled. "I don't wanna be next!"
"Sure ya do!" Jono said as he dragged Yugi to the front of the room. "Go fer it, man!"
"Well...okay," Yugi said. He was a bit annoyed, but shared his story nonetheless.
After Yugi had shared his story, he ran back to his desk.
"Your story was excellent, Yugi!" Ryou said as he stood up and clapped. "Bravo!"
Otogi and Seto cracked up laughing.
"Seriously, Yugi!" Seto said. "I knew you were crazy, but who would have thought THAT crazy! Jeez, what are YOU high on today?!"
Tears came to Yugi's eyes. "But, it's true...it really is...why would I make up something like that..."
Off in the corner, Yami was starting to get angry. He wanted to whip the snot out of Seto, but wanted to refrain from switching with Yugi in the middle of school, so he held back.
"Honestly," Yugi whined. "I wouldn't make up something like that."
"Hah! Well, Jonouchi sure as heck did!" Seto snickered.
"SHADDAP!!" Jono shouted, waving a fist at Seto. "You want some a' this, Moneybags?!" He then turned to Yugi. "Ignore him, Yug. We all know Kaiba's a first-class joik! 'Kay, Honda! Yer up next!"
"All right, shoot!" Honda picked up his paper, walked to the front of the room and shared his story about "Hiroto" and his new Honda.
When Honda was done sharing his story, he strolled back to his desk with a smug look on his face.
Otogi, pissed off about Honda's story and remembering his dream, charged at Honda. "ARGH! TACKLE!!!"
Ryou restrained him. "Seriously, Otogi!" he said. "Do you want to get us detention tomorrow too?"
Otogi calmed down. "Sorry."
"Y'know..." Jono said, "Just fer that, yer next!"
"Well fine!" Otogi said. He snatched his paper off of his desk and walked to the front of the room, stepping on Honda's foot in the process.
"Ow! Watch it, Devlin!!" Honda shouted.
"Well, your foot shouldn't have been in the aisle, Tristan!!" Otogi shouted back.
"SHADDAP AN' READ THE DARN STORY!" Jono shouted. "Dang, man!"
"ALL RIGHT!" Otogi screamed. He shared his story about "Dolly".
When he was finished, he slunk back to his desk.
"Yo, Devlin!" Honda shouted. "Is 'Dolly' hot???"
"ARGH! TACKLE!" Otogi shouted as he flew at Honda.
Seto grabbed his collar. "I don't know about you, Otogi," he started, "but I'm not interested in getting detention tomorrow too! Mokuba's already going to be mad at me for not picking him up today...and it's YOUR fault!!"
"Well, pardon me..." Otogi said sarcastically before heading back to his desk.
"'Kay..." Jonouchi said. "Bakura!"
"Hmm? Yes?"
"Yer next, pal!"
"Oh. All right." Ryou picked up his paper and crept to the front of the room.
"Hurry it up already!" Otogi screamed.
"Fine, hold your horses." After about a minute, Ryou reached the front of the room and told his story about Bakura.
After finishing up, he walked slowly to the back of the room and to his desk.
"Wow, Bakura!" Yugi exclaimed. "You wrote about your 'yami' too?! That's awesome! Now do you believe me, Kaiba?"
"Hm, let me think...nope!" Seto said, trying not to laugh. "I think Bakura's just as loony!"
"Ah, git yer butt up there, Kaiba! Yer next!" Jonouchi said.
"What? No!" Seto said stubbornly. "I'm not going up there!"
"Oh, yes you are!"
"No! I'm not! I don't have to listen to you, Wheeler!"
"Yes ya do, Kaiba!"
"Whatever..."
Jonouchi snuck up behind Seto and pushed him to the front of the room.
"Ah! What the heck, you moron!! Keep your hands off of me! Hey, watch the uniform, pal!!"
"Ah, shaddap!" Jonouchi said. "There. Now read ya dang story. Joik..."
"Fine!" Seto said as he rolled his eyes and began to tell his story.
When Seto finished his story, he walked back to his desk. He heard sniffling and turned around to see Yugi, streaming tears.
"K-K-Kaiba...how could you?" Yugi sobbed. "How could you say such cruel things about Ishizu? She...::sniff:: she's been nothing but truthful to you!! And kind! And so have I! You know it! You know it's true! All of it!!"Suddenly, Ryou felt a tingle. 'Oh no...Yugi!' he thought. 'Not now...'
Yugi looked down. He spoke, yet his voice was different..."How dare you Kaiba..."
Seto stared at Yugi with a blank look. "...Hm?"
Yugi looked up, though he looked different.
'...Yugi...?' thought Seto. 'What the heck?'
'It's Yugi's 'yami'!' Bakura thought. 'Kaiba's in for it now!'
Jonouchi grinned evilly. 'Take 'em down, Yug!' he thought.
Yami Yugi, who was becoming angry, had appeared. "How dare you talk bad stuff about my aibou!! You're going to regret that!!"
"Yes!" Ryou blurted out. "Go Yami Yugi!! Show him who's boss!!"
Yami pointed his finger and shouted, "Kaiba! You and I will duel! Now!!"
Seto stared blankly at what looked like Yugi. "Um...no thanks," he said. "I think I'll pass..." He picked up his book bag and began to walk away.
"Hold on, Kaiba!" Otogi shouted. "The bell hasn't rung yet!"
Seto looked back at Otogi. "...So?"
"You'll get in trouble!" Otogi said. "We aren't supposed to leave until the bell rings."
"I don't really give a crap," Seto scowled.
Otogi became angry. "Oh, of all the nerve Kaiba...!"
"Just let him go..." Yami sighed, upset that Otogi had messed up his opportunity to kick Seto's butt in a duel.
"Yeah!" Jounouchi said. "It's not our problem if ol' stinkin' Kaiba wants ta get his butt in trouble."
Seto ignored Jono's comment. He turned around and walked to the door.
Meanwhile, Yugi said to his yami, "Aw...you're just going to let him get away, Yami?"
Yami sighed. "Sorry, Aibou."
"You're going to let him get away with calling me mean names?!" Yugi said, practically shouting.
Yami sighed again.
Yugi scoffed. "Hmph! Some friend you are..."
Yami became frustrated with this. "Aibou, don't make me have to hurt you..." he warned, tapping his foot.
"Don't worry about it, Yugi," said Honda. "Kaiba's as good as busted!"
However, as soon as Seto opened the door and stepped out, the bell rang, meaning they were officially free. "You were saying, Honda?" Seto said mockingly as he walked out the door.
"Hah!" growled Honda. "Go figure!!"
End Chapter Eight
That's it for this one! I love the end of this one! Seto steps out and the bell rings! That shut Honda up, didn't it?
People would think I'm crazy, but after revealing so much of my personality in previous chapters, there's something else you should know: I actually think Honda is a pretty cool character! But no one else seems to think so, which makes me feel like an outsider, even on this site. I'm always the outsider! It's not fair!
Coming next chapter: Finally! The last chapter! Chapter Nine wraps the story up as the boys discover something about one of them that they never really wanted to learn... Stay tuned for the final chapter of Point of View! Ja ne!
