Chapter 10

:: beep Beep! Beep!! BEEP! BEEP!!! BEEEEEPPP!!!!!!!!!::

'God damn alarm....' ::CRUNCH!!!::
Bakura awoke rather ticked off with a large mallet in his hand and a flattened alarm clock on his bedside table. 'Ra! Do I really have to go to school today?! I just know that Marik's going to get on my nerves today... I know! I'll just skip! No... NO! I can't skip today, can I?... What about Rei? That bitch Emi might try something again... Great. I can rob the grand Resting chambers of the Kings, but I can't even leave some mortal teenage girl to fend for herself??!!! Oh shit... I'm going soft, aren't I? Oh well... I'm already up, so why the hell not?'
He grabbed a pair of jeans and a very dark blue t-shirt and went next door to the bathroom. He quickly took an ice cold shower, got dressed and attempted to dry his long white hair. He then shuffled downstairs into the kitchen, still half asleep, and snatched the nearest box of cereal. He poured himself a bowl of it, drowned it in milk, and proceeded to stuff his face. Ryou came down five minutes later, took a glance at the milk still out on the counter, the refrigerator open, and the box of cereal laying flat on the table, several pieces of cereal scattered on the floor. He shook his head and started cleaning the kitchen, again. At last, Rei arrived with her hair tied back in a loose ponytail and wearing black cargo pants and a red shirt with tiny black lettering reading "[boom]".

Ryou- "Oh! Good morning, Rei! Hey, what does your shirt mean?"

Rei- "Hm? Oh." She turned around and pulled her red-tipped blonde hair to one side, revealing a giant black mushroom cloud. Bakura burst off laughing as Rei turned back around and poured a small bowl of cereal for herself.

Ryou- "Umm.... Okay... You ready for school, Rei?"

Rei- "As ready as I'll ever be, I suppose..."

Ryou- "Ahh... Alright.... Well! We should leave soon, does everyone have their books?"

Bakura- "Let's just say I do and leave."

Rei- "Same for me."

Ryou- "Ehh... Okay. Let's go! We're going to meet Yugi there!"

Rei- "Oh, joy and jubilation all around." (A.N. I love that one! I think I made it up... but I'm not sure... don't sue me!)

After a fifteen minute walk, the three of them reached Domino High. Yugi, Yami, Tea, Tristan, Joey and Marik crowded around Rei and Bakura. Several other girls joined Tea as the boys dragged Bakura away from the red and blonde haired girl, forming two, gender-separated crowds. The girls were nearly suffocating Rei, hugging her nearly to the point of crushing her rib cage. The boys, on the other hand, were discussing an entirely different topic than "Are you okay?"...

Joey- "Hey there, Bakura... Have a nice time last night?"

Bakura- "What?"

Marik- "He's asking whether you and Rei had sex."

Bakura- "WHAT!!!!!??????!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!! " His yell made all the female crowd stare at him, giving Rei the opportunity to sneak away to the locker room in order to get her books and get to class. After recovering from their shock, the girls went searching for Rei and the boys turned to Ryou.

Yami- "So, Ryou, what happened?"

Ryou- "Nothing happened, I promise. I checked on Bakura during the night. He didn't do anything."

Bakura- "WHAT??!! you... 'checked' on me? What do you think I am? A child?"

Ryou- "N-n-n-n-no! I-Ishizu asked me t-t-to!!!"

Joey- "Yeah Bakura! Calm down! Chill!"

Yugi, just as the first bell rang- "Come on guys, let's get to class!"

Chapter End!!! Okay, short chapter, yes. I'm really sorry. But I got some reviews, and I'm really happy! Alright, I seem to be encountering a... eh... small? writer's block... in other words... I don't know what to do next. If you have any ideas, Review! Email! Send them to me! I'd gladly consider them! Okay! Ja ne! materiathief06
