Chapter 4 Fight

The rest of the evening went rather quickly. Rei gave Bakura easy, reliable directions back to the "Playroom". Marik established himself as the Mortal Kombat King and ate twenty more cookies, stuffed ten more in his pockets and everyone went home, even after Emi's pleas for Bakura to spend the night. Everyone slept soundly that night... everyone except for Bakura. Rei's words still echoed in his mind..... 'Family gives a k'so about what happens to you"..... "It disturbs both of us"... "Consider yourself lucky".... 'why am I lucky if I never knew what having a mother, a guardian, who loves you is like? ... but... why does Rei live with her aunt and uncle? Why do they hate her so much? Where is Rei's mother?' but, puzzled as he was, Bakura finally drifted off to sleep.....

7:45 AM, Domino High School

Yugi-::Yaaaaaaawnnnnn::

Marik- "ALL HAIL!!! The KING of MORTAL KOMBAT... ME!!!!!!! buwahahahahaha!!"

Bakura- "Oh, do shut up." Enter a cheerful as usual Emi, dragging Rei by her hand, who is looking bored and annoyed.

Emi- "Hi everybody! Hiya Bakura-kun!"

Bakura- "Hn." ::glare::

Ishizu- "Okay, okay everyone. Please be seated. Oh, hello Rei. Will you be staying all day today? you missed English yesterday,"

Rei-"......"

Ishizu- "Rei?"

Rei- "We'll see..."

Ishizu- "Okay. Will everyone please open their textbooks and...."

*lunch*

Marik is busy running about telling everyone that he beat the Game King in Mortal Kombat (because he cheated), and Emi drags Rei in by her arm.

Rei- "Will you let go of me?!"

Emi- "What's the magic word?"

Rei- ".... will you let go of me... please...."

Emi- "teehee! NO!" she pulls Rei to Bakura, Yami, Kaiba and Marik's table, forcing her to sit.

Rei- "You teme..."

Emi- "OOH! BAD!!" she slaps Rei's hand, and Rei looks rather bored with it all. "Watch your mouth or I'll tell Daddy!"

Rei- "Go ahead.. and while you're at it, tell him how I skipped school and threatened you and beat you up and used my sword and my evil magic powers to turn you into an annoying, talking newt."

Emi- "Hey, you didn't do that!"

Rei- "Didn't I?'

Emi- "What? Are you insulting me!!??"

Yami- "Pardon me, but..."

Marik, Kaiba, Joey, Tristan- "Shhhhhh!!!!!"

Emi- "How dare you! You shouldn't insult me!! You being alive is an insult to our family!!"

Bakura- "What?"

Emi, smirking- "teehee! They don't know, do they? What do you say, should I tell them? heehee!"

Rei, glaring enough to kill- "You wouldn't dare... Your parents... they made you swear..."

Emi- "But they aren't here, are they? heeheeheeheehee!!"

Rei, still glaring, but with a look of hopeful disbelief on her face- "....."

Bakura- "Emi, whatever it is, just leave it alone." Emi just ignores him and gets up on a table and calls for everyone's attention...

Emi- "Everyone!! Over here!! Rei Tanaka has a little secret she's been hiding from us! or, should I say.. Rei Kimura has....."

Rei- "Shut up....."

Emi- "You see, Kimura is my mother's surname, Rei here's dad was some foreign soldier that left as soon as my aunt, Rei's mother, was pregnant! And where is Rei's mommy now? She's dead! She was so devastated, so upset with her idiot daughter who doesn't even care about anything, she killed herself!!!"

Rei- "no... shut up...." Her voice was shaky and her head is down. Rei's hands are clenched into fists and she's trembling.

Emi- "And you know what else?! Rei didn't even cry at her mother's funeral! Oh, but now she cries, she cries during the night for her mommy! Oh, look at the scary girl now! She's just a--"

Rei- "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!" Rei leaps at Emi and tackles her off the table and onto the floor and is punching her repetitively in the face and stomach and Emi is screaming her head off. Bakura and Marik pull Rei off Emi, and Yami is holding Emi back from attacking Rei.

Emi- "You.... Why... you... YOU TEME!!!! I'm gonna kill you! You just attack me for no reason?! I'll make sure Mom doesn't rescue you again! No matter how much she loved Auntie Hikaru, YOU'RE HOPELESS!!! and if you ever come near our house, we'll call the cops and have you arrested!! Hey! Hey!!!!! GET BACK HERE!!!!!" Rei had shaken off Marik and Bakura, grabbed her backpack and dashed out the door.
