St. Agnus' Preparatory Lyceum was a school that only the most privileged were admitted to. The school was privileged to be housing the best, brightest and boldest (one might also mention the most beautiful) young men and women of all the known colonies. One might call it a form of discrimination, but once you got into the lavish grounds, then you might be able to understand the need for such actions. Every family high in society had enlisted their child's name on the waiting list the moment that it had been chosen. Those privileged few were assured to a bountiful and fruitful life and were promised the inheritance of the upper end of life, never to suffer with the existence to hunger, or the indigent life so many less blessed endured each day.
Extending an impressive twenty-five thousand acre land space, the old world buildings reminiscent of 20th century architecture of Earth created a luxurious feel to the first-class school. The main building that greeted newcomers was a grand four-storied building whose white pillars gave the old 1900 style to the classic brick building. The lush green landscape framed the many walkways and roundabout drive-through. Random trees gave shade to those who choose to study outside; the heavily perfumed air from the greenhouse was pleasant and seemed to perfect the crisp air that surrounded the area. The main entrance hall, called Takahashi Hall by most, housed the administrative offices, teachers' offices and the assembly room.
The surrounding three-story buildings contained the classrooms of the many subjects that this elite school was sure to teach. On the opposite side, one would find Agnus' chapel, where student's spiritual needs were quenched. Mass followed every Sunday morning and all students were required to attend, regardless of religion for their weekly reflections. The chapel was a place for those in deep thought. The atmosphere gave the residents a sense of peace and serenity and with the beautiful lake that graced the surrounding countryside and the high peaks of the old and weathered Kazuki Mountains, it embellish the already breathtaking landscape so that most would only call it extravagant.
The dining hall was not that far from the main buildings, and prided itself on the quality of their meals. Each night a variety of foods from many ethnic backgrounds could be found in so called mess hall. (There hadn't been a food fight scene the elder Ishtar had attended but students still insisted on calling it as such.) Meals began to be served at seven and the kitchens did not close till six. Many students stopped to grab snacks all through out the day and the cooks were all too happy to serve.
Behind the main buildings there was a standard sized track field that served the multi-sport needs. The grounds were trimmed for each season; soccer, rugby, and football were played on the hundred-yard field. There were tennis courts, basketball courts, cricket fields, ballet and fencing buildings, shooting and archery ranges and facilities that had all the up-to-date exercising equipment. Those who dared to call the students of St. Agnus' Preparatory "nerdy little rich kids" were sadly mistaken and would surly be forced to eat their words if they ever came in contact with one of the physically physic teens.
If all of this was set to leave one speechless, the surrounding forests were a delight in themselves. Full of cabins for those taking future home education classes and hunting trips, the bountiful forest hid game for hunting expeditions, and was a favorite paint balling location amongst the older teens. (The administrator had yet to explain the colorful decorations that covered their plush forests)
Entering the main room of either building, you were first welcomed by one of the schools appointed students, who were instructed to usher you through the comfortable lounge where refreshments were served around the clock, and a theater sized entertainment centers were placed to entertain these elite students. The tour of the game room followed. The pool tables, and virtual games were enough to make any game room junkie happy. The next stop was up the grandeur stairs, which led to the sleeping quarters.
The co-educational school was separated into two spacious dormitories. The girl's dormitory was found on the right of the mess hall and the boys to the left. Each building was as lavish and as decadent as the main Takahashi hall itself with the limited capacity for only a handful of students for each grade.
The sleeping arrangements were different depending on your position in the school. The headboy of course had his own lavish room and along with higher positioned students, lived on the right end of the corridor. Many of the seniors and junior's had claimed rooms to themselves, but the majority of the students shared their palace-like bedroom with a roommate.
Each room was designed to fit in two large poster beds, two complete solid oak desks, already supplied with a computer with Internet connection and stocked with other stationary and basic niceties that were needed. School supplies were refreshed weekly as the seemingly invisible maids tidied the rooms. Uniforms and recreation clothes were washed every three days as directed by the floor your dorm was on and otherwise placed in the spacious walk in closets.
The room was cozy; a couch was placed right in front of your very own fireplace along with a love seat and coffee table. The rich, dark brown wood for the boys rooms and the light creamy shade of mahogany for the girls held the room together with coordinated colors that embellish the already dazzling dorm rooms. The students of St. Agnus Prep were certainly a very lucky few...

Up miles for the Earth, Ryou squirmed in discomfort trying to place himself in a more comfortable position. Traveling in this tight of a space was something he had decided he would not be doing in his future pastimes. The chair he was sitting in, although beautiful in design, was not something fit to be sitting on for over two hours as his numb behind constantly was telling him.
The boy snoring lightly besides him seemed to be of a different opinion, the boy Yugi had been in his unconscious state for the good portion of the flight. The movie running at the front of the room flashed its light upon the boy's soft pale skin. A stand of blonde spiky hair had fall free of the massive crown of hair and was resting in front of his dainty pink lips, fluttering each time he let out a gentle breath, Ryou had taken this time to study his companion and was fighting the urge to tuck the blonde strand behind the delicate looking teens ear.
Yugi seemed to be a very shy, happy and smiling person, spending time with him the last week had been very different form the normal, boring days that had consisted of lessons and meals. Ryou had decided to give Yugi a tour of his wing of the small castle and had been pleasantly surprised when Yugi had in turn shown him the secret passages that the servants used. The two boys had spent a good portion of the afternoon running around looking for each other and sending the house into panic every time they ran into each other screaming in surprise.
Ryou had decided that Yugi was the type of person you could always come to if you had a problem. He may not be able to help but seemed to be always willing to listen, this making Ryou think how lucky he was to have found such a friend.
He allowed his eyes to travel over Yugi's dainty features and admitted to himself that Yugi was very beautiful, he was a little feminine for his taste, but truly handsome. His now closed eyes were almost as large as his own and the arched eyelashes rested softly on his pinkish cheek. Ryou shivered as he thought of Yugi's wide violet eyes that seemed to radiate his purity. They were in his opinion Yugi's best asset. When Yugi laughed they seemed to sparkle and turn a lovely pale purple that could make anyone feel giddy.
Ryou sighed at the relieving feeling that he did not have any other feelings for the boy besides immense appreciation and strong friendship. Although he wouldn't ever want to have to be ever have to be put in a tempting situation with the small purple-eyed teen. How would he be able to resist those eyes?
With a grown, Ryou allowed himself to sink back in his chair. The movie was nearing its climax and the rhythmic action music was beginning to give him a headache. He lifted his legs and pushed his knees against the back of the chair. A large red haired man instantly turned around in the seat in front of him and growled, making Ryou lower his knees and sink into the back of his seat. With a small glare, the man turned around and continued watching the sad excuse for a movie. Ryou stuck his tongue out at the back of his head childishly, gave his own, that might be able to scare a small child to the back of the man's head. With a groan of discomfort, he allowed his legs to snake out under the chair and rest on the floor imitating Yugi's position. He allowed his eyes to close and tried to drift into sleep.
-
The shuttle launched forward with a jolt, shaking awake sets of chocolate and amethyst eyes from their sleep. Ryou frowned and tried to rub the crink out of his neck and Yugi blinked his eyes adjusting with the headlights that were flashing on. The both sluggishly removed their carry on bags and stepping into the aisle. Sooner then either would have liked they were pushed by the crowd behind them to the blinding lobby of the airport.
Swarms of people seemed to great them and Ryou was first thoroughly excited to be receiving such attentions from so many strangers. He bowed towards them humbly and snapped his head up when he found Yugi fallen on the floor to his right. The boy was gripping his sides and seemed unable to breathe. After getting down on his knees to help his strangling friend in front of him, Yugi's eyes opened filled with tears and seeing Ryou's startled and concerned look he finally found his breath and spilt his laughter loudly into the already ditheringly loud area. Brown eyes narrowed into slits as the white haired teen stood up and kicked the smaller teen lightly on the side.
"Why did you do that"
Yugi just laid on the floor trying to regain his composure allowing people to step around or over him. A few giggles and loudly gasped breaths of air later, Yugi leaned back on his elbows sitting up slightly.
"Wow...your so gay. I can't believe you did that" Yugi smiled again. "They weren't waiting for you! They were waiting for their families" He laughed again as Ryou blinked with a blank look on his face. A pink flush began to tinge his cheeks and he tried to find something to say to that. How could Yugi possibly know he was gay?
Yugi lifted himself off the floor shaking his head with traces of a grin still stretching over his dedicate looking lips.
"I can't believe you did that..."
Yugi stopped as he and Ryou were both covered in a dark shadow. A tall man dressed in a three-piece dark blue uniform towered above him.
"Mr. Bakura, Mr. Mouto"
Yugi looked up and nodded at the man dressed in a black chafer uniform. On his breast was a patch that clearly labeled the St. Agnus' crest. At Yugi's nod the man smiled and offered to take their carry on bags. He placed them on a cart and they proceeded to get the rest of their luggage. Ryou stayed silent even as their bags were carefully placed in the back of the shiny black limo, while Yugi was bouncing around excitedly, having rarely received the privilege to have such luxuries. (He had taken a cab his freshmen year.) Apparently Ryou's father had arranged special treatment for his one-and-only son.
But Ryou was not feeling so giddy. The excitement had turned to anxiety and now with the realization of their driver calling him Mr. Bakura, he had remembered that he had nothing going for him. Why would this school be any different from the school he had so passionately hated as a child? The children had mocked him then and now would be no different. He glared across at a bag of luggage that was lying across the seat from him. . .
Mr. Bakura, . . .
His new identity. . .
As they approached closer to the school, Ryou couldn't help but hope that it wouldn't be as bad as it seemed.
-
Yugi stretched out his legs and yawned for the umpteenth time. Sitting in a limousine for over an hour was no fun at all. The buttons and switches had been fun (especially the one that accidentally sprayed Ryou with champagne) but going from sleeping on an uncomfortable shuttle to sitting in a car for hours, was doing little to un cramp his muscles. His stomach was still growling from passing up food while in the air, and he was starting to twitch whenever it got too quiet. With a quick glance at Ryou, he saw a concerned look adorning the boy's pail features and decided that even an hours worth of silence from the normally, semi-energetic teen, must mean that something was up.
With a generously warm smile, Yugi poked Ryou in the side, making the silent white-haired boy jump slightly. With a playful scowl, Ryou pulled his thoughts from elsewhere and poked out his tongue. Yugi giggled and began to talk with impressive speed.
"You're really going to love it here! St. Agnus' really is fun; wait till you see your dorm. It's probably way bigger then your room . . . Well maybe not your room, but they're huge! I wonder who your going to get as your roommate . . . ! There are a couple other sophomores that have their own rooms still. I would want you to be with me but I already have one."
Ryou gave smile and nodded, waiting for the boy to let out the rest of his stored energy. Now that they were nearing the school, Yugi seemed restless, right now he was going over a list of boys in their grade that were still roommate-less, which Ryou didn't really understand considering he had never heard of any other people his age. Ryou decided to interrupt his new friends deranged mumbling by asking why every time he had mentioned the school around his grandfather that he had begun to blush.
In response to the question, said boy blushed a deep red.
Ryou giggled. "See! There you go again"
Yugi shoved him and covered his hands in his face.
"Aww! Come on Yugi! What is it? I think it's my right to know."
"Nooo. This is embarrassing! You'll probably find out as soon as you get there. I don't think many people are just going to pass you bye."
"What do you mean"
Yugi gave him a nervous laugh. "Well you know who St. Agnus is right"
Ryou shook his head in the negative.
"What? Well you will after you get your oh-so-nice tour of the place, unless of course you get one of the less dulling people to show you around. Well, this lady Agnus was a girl that was supposable really pretty so she was martyred because she didn't want to put out for some old rich guy. Said she was "Saving herself for God" or something. "
Ryou's brow crinkled with the very blunt piece of information. "What do you mean she wanted to save herself for God"
Yugi's blush began to creep up on his cheeks. "You know . . . save herself, not sleep with him." When Ryou continued to stare at him with a blank look Yugi pushed his coyness away in aggravation. He threw his hands up in the air and continued.
"She wouldn't put out! Wouldn't let himuh, doher. Wouldn't lay down on her back and take it like some whore, wouldn't allow him to put his..."
Ryou's eyes widen and his cheeks turn a startling red color, Yugi's own blush had quickly followed suit and he stopped with the direction he was going.
"Yea . . . well, any ways, half the kids have decided that she was an idiot and that anyone that would die because they didn't want to put out deserved to die ...Hey! Don't look at me! I'm just telling you the facts" Yugi shuffled with his school jacked and continued, trying hard to ignore Ryou's questionitive looks. "Any ways, they all said that she was stupid and that they've decided to, in her honor..."
Yugi halted when the window separating the drivers from themselves rolled down. The chafer poked his head through and announced politely that they had arrived at St. Agnus'. Yugi's face broke out into a smile and he opened the door and jumped out, holding out his had to assist the new student.
"I will make sure your bags are brought to your correct rooms. The dean has given me instructions for Mr. Mouto" He glanced up and Yugi nodded. "To make sure that Mr. Bakura finds the correct way to his office." He smiled softly at the two young men. "I'm sure you will enjoy your stay here. St. Agnus' is a wonder place. Farewell boys. Enjoy the term."
The boys waved goodbye and Ryou followed Yugi up to the large four-story brick building. Ryou was to say impressed. The school was far nicer then he had imagined. The crisp clean air felt much better then the congested cramped spaces that they had been occupying for the past six hours and it felt absolutely wonderful to stretch his legs. He tried halfheartedly to keep up with the tri-colored haired boy that seemed to be skipping up the sidewalk closer to the large building.
"This is Takahashi Hall, hopefully you don't have to come here often, the place is crawling with professors. The dean's office is inside, he's alright, not the kindest person, but very direct and to the point. I've never really talked to him but I've had to listen to his welcoming speech twice, it's...to say the least, very, very droll. I wonder why he wants to see you." He slowed down and elbowed Ryou in the side. "Haven't done anything wrong lately have you"
Ryou laughed lightly. He had some idea why the dean would want to see him. Father had informed him of his circumstances and the role he had to play while attending this school. Some he was less willing to then others to perform, he wasn't exactly hopping up and down to see the man in charge of such an important community.
Yugi opened the door using what seemed all of his weight. He gestured for Ryou to walk inside and Ryou did so with the smaller boy at his heals. Approaching a receptionist's desk Yugi stood quietly looking around for someone. Ryou tapped his foot nervously and almost feel over when the seat that had once appeared empty had a woman-sitting upright with her bottle green eyes eyeing him suspiciously.
"Can I help you boys" She looked over at Yugi's rumpled uniform and Ryou lack there of. "Please tell me that there's a reason you've decided you're not needed in class"
"Yes Mam, I'm supposed to make sure that Ryou Merq. . . er um, Bakura" Yugi gave an uneasy glance to Ryou. "That he um, finds the Dean's office all right."
Ryou bowed his head when Yugi gave him an apologetic look. The woman at the desks' eyes widened and she inspected Ryou quickly.
"Yes!... I mean, yes we've been expecting you. Please come with me. The Dean wished to speak to you as soon as you arrived."
Ryou hesitantly started to follow the tall blonde woman and gave one last glance at Yugi who was giving him an encouraging smile and a small wave. He forced a smile upon his lips and returned the wave. He followed her down the hall and away from his friend. The woman looked back at him when they reached the elevator, her having already pushed the button.
"Ryou Bakura..."
She looked him over once again, taking in his finely made outfit, the rich blues and purples highlighting his eyes and practically screaming royalty. His puffy snow-white hair seemed to stick out in the most attractive way and she had no idea how he could ever to get it to stand strait like that. She shook her head. Hell it seemed all the boys in this school had magic hair gel hidden up their sleeves.
" I'm certain you will enjoy your stay here. You seem well fitted for our school, and as you know, St. Agnus' is only for the best and you most certainly look the part. Why, I'm sure with your blazer and tie you could just walk into class right now."
The elevator 'binged' and she stepped aside to allow him to enter. He muttered "thank you" and she followed him in and pushed the third floor.
She looked at him again, trying to get his light blue eyes to look into her own. When he finally looked up she smiled, and the small white-haired boy blushed furiously and looked back at the floor. She had to mentally restrain herself from laughing at the boy's coy actions. Little did she know that she was the first woman, besides his fathers guests who barley paid attention to him except to complement his looks, that he had talked to scene his aunt had left his old home.
"You sure are shy for someone as handsome as you are."
Ryou looked up shocked, but smiled softly at the concerned look on her face. He looked back at the floor.
"I apologize, I'm just nervous with all the attention I'm getting."
The woman's blonde hair bounced as she laughed. "Well you are the first student that's transferred into this school for some time now. I don't know how you managed that. I know personally that you were not on the admittance list last year, and that list is still hoping that someone will crock and there will be a spot for their precious child to attend. There of coarse, has never been an opening at this school, people just don't leave, it seems that BuShard just wanted you so bad they added your name right to the top of the list of students attending. That's quite lucky for someone halfway through the school year. I know parents that would have killed to get their kids in here. And that's literally of coarse."
Ryou let this soak in and nodded when she finished. The doors opened and Ryou stepped out and waited for her to show him the way. He pushed a rebellious strand of hair out of his eyes and tucked his hand into a pocket of his pants.
"Come on, this way please." She stopped at a large oak door and knocked rapidly three times. "Richard! The student you requested is here! Mr. Bakura I believe." She smiled down at him and knocked once more.
There was a shuffling behind the door and it swung open, revealing a violet-eyed boy whose face was splitting in two with the size of his smile.
"Mr. Maxwell" Ms. Assistant lady said coldly"Whatever are you doing again in the Dean's office? Not getting into trouble I hope..."
The boy just smirked at her and looked past her to lay his eyes on Ryou. They did a double take on the boy, and he took his time to make sure his eyes had soaked up every inch of the new arrival. The brunette hummed appreciatively as he flipped his long plaited braid over his shoulder as he held out a hand.
"Duo Maxwell. I do believe that I'll be the one to show you around here today." Ryou shook his hand and blushed as he felt a warmth travel though him. His cool blue eyes locked with lavender and he allowed himself to become lost in their swirling depths. The slight smirk still was still formed on the angelic heart shaped face and Ryou believed that he could stare at this boy forever.
A hand came to rest on Duo's shoulder and said boy broke eye contact with Ryou and looked back to the older man behind him.
"Mr. Bakura! It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Your arrangements were made a bit too quickly for my liking but I have a few very important things I think I need to talk to you about before Mr. Maxwell here can show you around. I'm glad you made it this far. I take it that the young Mr. Mouto was a great help to you"
"Yes sir. He was staying with me for quite some time during his grandfathers illness." Ryou stole another glance at the longhaired brunette and blushed again when he found that he was the sole object of the boy's attention. He shifted his weight to his right foot and entered the room as the dean, or rather, Professor BuShard gestured for him to follow him into the creamy tan office.
Ryou almost gasped at the luxury of the room. There were cream colored patterned drapes that hung round the office, and the school symbol was displayed proudly behind a large dark brown desk. He took a seat in one of the leather chairs that were seated in front of the dean's chair and awaited to be addressed by his new father figure.
Duo also had followed them into the room and was eyeing Ryou with a look foreign to him. The dean did not miss the glances between the two and cleared his throat loudly, snapping both boys attention to him.
"Mr. Maxwell, if you please, I have some important matters I would like to discuss with Mr. Bakura here. Would you kindly wait outside for us a moment" Duo nodded and cast a playful smile in Ryou's direction. As he got up to walk out, he casually brushed his thigh against one of Ryou's hands that were laying on the armrest. Ryou's eyes widened as the boy strolled out and left the room gracefully.
As the door shut, the dean shook his head and pulled out a manila folder labeled Ryou Bakura from his desk. Ryou stared at the seemingly empty folder waiting for the dean to say something of why they were having this meeting. Cool gray eyes looked Ryou over with some interest as they took in his white hair and stunning blue eyes. After a short silence followed the graying man finally spoke.
"You look just like you're mother."
Ryou blushed once again and looked up at his professor.
"Is there a reason why you made it sound so important that I come straight to your office sir? The driver seemed to think it most imperative that I made it."
The Dean sighed and laid further back into his chair. "Well, I'm sure you know Mr. Merquise, that your circumstances are special. It's not everyday our school receives students with the amount of wanted security that your father has asked for us. I'm sure you have your reasons and your father has given me the information I have asked for." Professor BuShard opened up the file that was on his desk. There was a single paper lying inside. Attached, was clipped the same picture that his father had shown him at his house.
"As you can see, we have very little information about you Ryou. We have contacted Solomon Mouto and he insists that he has trained you to the best of his abilities. He was the very best in all my years here, no other professor held such high regard as he." With that the professor leaned forward in a more comfortable position. "Your mother of course decided that only you were to be privileged with such higher learning privileges and he was snatched away from us up to that castle that you have lived in. He hasn't been scene except for the rededication ceremony they held here last year. But I'm sure that we can blame that on his grandson."
Ryou nodded, he realized now that there really had never been a time when he had not been without his old mentor. The realism hit him hard and he suddenly felt further away from home then he had all day. BuShard picked up a pen and began to inspect the silver crests that fell down on the sides.
"Well, Solomon had insisted that you have been sheltered for far to long and now that he is unable to continue with his lessons and is now privileging me and the rest of the staff with your responsibility." The sarcasm rolling in his voice as he quoted Solomon's words almost stung, but Ryou continued to look at him indifferently. He cleared his throat and continued. "We are well aware of the actions your father played in the war, and that is the only reason that you are receiving any such special treatment. Do not expect this school to bend over backwards for you at any time. (Ryou of coarse raised an eyebrow at this statement ) You are not superior to anyone here, regardless of your family name and reputation. Hopefully the suggestion of changing your name will help keep your head clear of distractions and allow you to participate normally in school."
Ryou decided against defending himself and putting himself in an unwelcoming position. Instead he tried to make light of his situation by trying to figure out exactly what was going on...
"What extra securities are being placed upon me" His voice was soft and gentle and he gave the Dean his most innocent looking expression. "And did anyone give you a reason for them"
Mr.BuShards eyes narrowed as he glanced suspiciously at the boy sitting in front of him.
"We have decided not to make any major security changes for you situation. Your father had insisted on placing cameras in all of your classes and of course in your room. But that is simply out of the question. We cannot simply invade other students privacy for you. The only difference between you and the rest of our students will be that you will be aloud to meet your father off grounds once a month. The request for a body guard has been declined simply because there would be no reason for any such thing"
Ryou stared blankly at the man. Why would he want a bodyguard? The idea that his father was being this over protective of him halfway across the world made him feel better and the fact that he could be aloud to see him before the term was over made him feel much better then he had before. He smiled coyly at the man.
"I don't know why my father requested this of you. I'm sure I will indeed to quite fine without the need for any such extra protection. Do you know why my father would insist for such ludicrous demands"
The man looked him over once again with this speculative gaze. "Mr. Merquise, do not play me a fool. I am taking quite a risk to our school even allowing you to join my school. Solomon has insisted you had no part in the choices your father has made, and I believe him because he insists that you are very much your mother's son. I do not know what goes on in your isolated castle that has been locked away from the rest of the world for so long, but whatever it is I'm sure I wouldn't like it."
Ryou stayed silent. A look of utter confusing written on his face.
The Dean sighed. "Ryou, I apologize, this is a very unique situation and if I upset you, I am sorry. I cannot blame you for something you had no control over. Enjoy yourself; you are now among the greatest minds of your age. Forget about the trouble that follow you and try to have a normal stay here. " The Dean laughed and Ryou was startled out of the depression he felt himself sinking into. "Don't even worry about anyone recognizing you. I don't think people would even know you existed if it hadn't been for that little public school episode you went through, you wouldn't want to tell me why you decided you didn't like it now would you"
A pink tinge flushed upon his face and he muttered a meek "no". The Dean laughed once more and stood up. "Good. Now don't worry about Yugi spilling your secret out to anyone. I know that Solomon gave him a good long talk about your situation back at your home. I haven't spoken to Draco yet, but I will as soon as he gets out of his next lesson."
"Draco"
"Yes, your cousin I believe. On your mothers side."
"He goes here"
"Yes, his name had been on our list almost as long as yours my boy. Don't tell me no one told you."
"Father only mentioned the change in my name. I only found out last week that I would be attending."
The Dean placed a hand on his shoulder as Ryou stood up to follow him to the door.
"Well don't worry about it. I modified your schedule so that you would be in classes with him and Mr. Mouto. I'm quite sure you will make friends easily enough here. The children do seem to be very friendly, some more then others of coarse. Mr. Maxwell seemed to take a quick liking to you. I apologies in advance for any damage to your ears he will surly inflict on you, but he is one of the only students that willingly welcome the new students."
He gave a smile to Ryou who grinned right back; "I do hope you like it here. Just remember, St. Agnus' is, and will always be the best." The door opened Ryou was quickly pushed from the room, only to find himself face to face with the grinning brunette.
"Why Hello Ryou Bakura! Hope Bushy wasn't too hard on ya. He likes to do the whole "Ooo I'm so intimidating" thing on the new kids. Don't let him get to you though, he's real softie once you get to know him."
Ryou grinned. "He was just informing me of my arrangements here. It seems like a very educational place. I do hope I enjoy it."
Duo arched an eyebrow. "You one of those really smart kids or something? Please don't be another smart kid! We need some more bad ass kids that don't give a damn about school. OOO maybe ones with knives and guns and stuff… Do you have any knives?…"

"…down that hall. Last year Timmy Burton went in there and blew up half the science lab. If you inhale really hard you can still smell that charcoal smell. Snape's been trying to get him expelled scene. It's not working to good cause his dad donated like half the money for the cricket field three years back. Oh and down theirs Mrs. Darcy's room. She's great. I have her this year for calculus… it's a bitch but ya gotta do it. Anyways, she's about the nicest one here sides Mr. Valentine, but she's only nice on the eyes. Joey's got her though. Lucky Bastard. Don't tell no one though, it's supposed to be a secret."
Ryou smiled. Duo seemed to be able to ramble on about nothing for the longest time. He had already taken him through the mess hall, the chapel, the gym and they were passing the classrooms now. Each turn seemed to have some story that Duo seemed unable to help himself from sharing. More the once he had stopped in the middle of one tale to continue right into another as he passed a place with amore interesting history. Ryou bumped into the slightly taller boy when he stopped suddenly in front of a particularly sinister looking door.
"This is some boring social studies class I refused to take. We're just going to go in stealth and rescue my friend. This is seriously the class from hell, you better pray to whatever gods you believe in you don't have Mr. Binns anytime in your whole student career." He scooted closer to the door and held up a finger to his lips making sure that Ryou stayed silent. "I'll be right back, just wait here.
Duo placed his hand on the door and pulled out a yellow slip from his pocket. He pulled open the door and quickly disappeared. Ryou scooted closer to listen to whatever was going on behind the door.
"Can I help you Mr. Maxwell?"
"Why yes you can Professor. The Dean needs Joe and me to come and help him show the new kid around campus. "I'm sure you don't have a problem with that do you sir? It will only be for a while, just to help him get settled in and everything."
"Mr. Maxwell… you are aware that you cannot just spot your friends out of class whenever you want with ridiculous lies! There hasn't been a student to transfer halfway though the year for three decades! I doubt that Dean BuShard would want to trust you two with the responsibility even if there was."
There was a long pause and Ryou pressed his ear to the door trying to catch whatever was going on inside. Suddenly, the door opened and two teens quickly made there way by, as the heavy oak door hit him squarely in the head.
"Oh geeze, I'm so sorry" Duo was quickly at his side trying to remove Ryou's hands from his forehead to see if there were any damages. "Let me see, I promise I'm an expert at any and all bumps, bruises and burns" He grabbed Ryou's hand away and Ryou laughed at the boy's antics.
"I'm fine I swear! You guys just caught me by surprised there." He rubbed his head. "It's probably just a bump." He looked up at the extra boy who was currently bending over him trying to see if he did indeed have a bump. Ryou took in the sent of the boy that had honey blonde hair and golden brown eyes.
Ryou couldn't help but stare. Were all of the boy's in this school fucking gorgeous? (AN... hehehe yes of coarse little Ryou!)
"Good job idiot. You almost killed my student" Duo pushed the other boy and the blonde stumbled over his feet but caught himself at the last moment. He jumped back and shoved the grinning brunette right back.
"Well I'm not the one with the idiotic plan to get me out of class..." He put on a sickeningly sweet face and upped the octave of his voice. "Mr. Binns! Mr. Binns! I need Joey! May I please have him Mr. Sir? Oh thank you! Thank you,God, you little kiss ass."
Duo laughed and pushed the blonde again. He pulled Ryou flush against his side and did the same to the grinning blonde.
"Joey, this is Ryou. Ryou, Joey." Ryou smiled and tried to move one of his hands, (both of which were caught to Duo's iron grip at the moment.) Joey smiled back. Ryou fumbled again and managed to get out of the braided boy's grip. After Duo reached up and rumpled his hair he gave Joey a sheepish grin.
"Please to meet you Joey." Ryou suck out his hand and as Joey followed suit, his golden eyes danced as he laughed once again. "You don't have to be all formal kid! You can call me Jou if you want by the way." He stuck out his tongue at the violet-eyed boy that was currently checking around the corner. "All my real friends do."
Duo ran back over to him and smacked him hard on the arm. "Shut up!You know I could kick your ass any day if I wanted to."
Joey held up his hands innocently. "Hey I never challenged your superior strengths Mr. High and Mighty Maxwell. I was just stating the facts." When Duo nodded and motioned for them to follow him, Joey leaned over to whisper in Ryou's ear. "You have to let him think he's better then you or he might cry and get upset. He loves to send his attack bitch Heero on people."
Duo didn't even turn around, but continued walking as his hair bounced along the back of his neck.
"I herd that! And I could only wish Heero would be by bitch. Mmmm, that would be so damn hot!" Then almost as a second thought he turned around and gave Joey a slight glare.
"You need to stop talking shit Jou" He gave him and evil smirk "don't want people to start talking bought your little . . . relationship."
Joey shook his head and raised his hands in defeat once again. "Sorry man. Just stating the facts. That Heero guy only thinks he's straight. Just give him a week and I bet that nasty blonde whore will be gone for good."
Duo gave a quick glance at Ryou, who was still letting the fact that the boy whose ass he had been staring at all morning was indeed gay. (Or bi... who the hell cares?) Duo bit his lip and gave Ryou a speculating look.
"So Ryou, which way to you tend to go . . . and if you like those little skirts, spare me the 'silly faggots dicks are for chicks' speech, trust me, I've heard it and I don't need to hear it again." Ryou blushed when he realized that both were waiting for an answer. He mumbled something inaudible to Joey, but Duo's sharp hearing picked it up perfectly. He wrapped his arm around Ryou's shoulder again and gave him a completely evil smirk.
"Hey! Don't worry kid . . . You'll fit in just fine. With your looks and that completely irresistible innocent act you have going on, you'll have people on you as soon as the bell rings." He gave a look to Jou. "If I didn't have my eyes set on a certain psychotic blue eyed bitch with a stick up his ass, I would be all over you..." He gave Ryou a wink and released him. "And you won't have to deal with Joey here, he's screwing the Financial Management teacher..."
Joey hit Duo hard on the arm.
"What the fuck! Duo! You promised not to tell anyone else. Now I'm going to fucking kill you"
Duo ran off with Ryou at his heels as the blonde chased after them, murder shining in his eyes.
