The bell went for lesson again and he slowly made his way to B-2. He walked into the room to find only Yugi, Tristan, Téa and Joey there waiting for him at Yugi's desk, "Where is everybody else?" he asked,
"They've got Kendo with Mr Key, and we've got Tai Chi with Miss Avalon," Téa replied as Hironobu walked towards them,
"We're just waiting for her to come back from the staff room," Tristan finished, "what do you have?"
"In my last school I did Tai Chi, the same as you," he informed them,
"Great, now there's just one more person if he decides to show," Joey said as he looked around,
"Who's that?"
"Bakura," Yugi answered, "I was talking to him on the phone after you guys left last night, and he said he would do it today instead of going to the library like he usually does." Just as Yugi finished talking Bakura walked in with Miss Avalon a few steps behind him, "I see that young Ryo has turned up for his lesson today," she joked, "well class, time to get changed into your Tai Chi uniforms,"
"Erm ... Miss Avalon," Hironobu started,
"Ah, Hironobu. Are you joining the session?" she asked,
"I did it in my last school so I thought I might as well carry it on here," he replied,
"That's good to hear, just wait here and I'll get you a new uniform alright," she told him before leaving the room.
"I didn't know you did Tai Chi at your last school," Yugi said, "I thought you'd be into Kendo,"
"I tried that but I didn't like it so I did Tai Chi instead, but I haven't done it in a while,"
"Well we do it twice a week and Kendo does it three times a week," Joey informed him as Bakura looked out the window,
"So what do you do when they have it the third time?" Hironobu asked,
"We go down to the computer room and do whatever we want on them," Tristan notified him as Miss Avalon returned with Hironobu's uniform in her arms,
"I hope this is the right size for you," she said to him,
"It looks the right size, thank you," he answered,
"Alright then, time to go to the changing rooms and get changed and I'll meet you in the girls gym," she informed them and left the room to get her own Tai Chi uniform and to change.
Hironobu reluctantly followed Yugi and the others when he realised that getting changed would mean showing his Millenium Item to the others, 'What am I gonna do? If they see my item then they'll ask about it and Bakura will definitely tell them about my spirit taking his Millenium Items along with the others,'
"Hey Hironobu," Joey said,
"Huh?"
"We're here, come on," he signalled before walking through the door, "hey! That's my area! Get your own!" he shouted to Tristan,
'Oh no, I'm in for it now' he thought as he walked through the door and into the large room, 'I'm gonna have to get changed somewhere else,'
"What's up Hironobu?" Tristan asked when he saw him stood there, quiet,
"Erm ... is there somewhere that I can get changed in private? It's just that at my last school they had cubicles to get changed in," he lied like mad,
"Well there's the toilet over there if that's alright," Tristan told him as he indicated to where it was,
"Thanks," he replied before running over to it and locked the door behind him. He placed the toilet lid down before sitting on it, took his blue school jacket off and hesitated about his pulling his shirtsleeve up, 'Will they notice? I can't risk taking it off but I can't risk the others noticing,' he thought as he stared at it, 'but I've gotta take that risk.' He unbuttoned his shirt and replaced it with his Tai Chi jacket and did the same with his trousers before walking back out, bare-foot, with his clothes and bag where Yugi was waiting for him,
"Thanks for waiting for me," he said,
"It's no problem," he answered, "are you ready?"
"Yes."
They walked into the girls gym to find Téa doing some warm up exercises, Joey and Tristan prating about as usual behind her and Bakura leaning against the wall on his own,
"Hi Yugi, Hironobu," she greeted them,
"Hi Téa, doing your warm ups?" Yugi asked as he set his Millenium Puzzle into place so that it wouldn't annoy him during the lesson, causing Hironobu to fidget and feel uneasy,
"Yep," she replied as Miss Avalon walked through the door, bare-footed like everyone else,
"Right then, is everyone ready?" she asked as they got themselves into a space in front of her and then the lesson started. Half way during the lesson when he raised his left arm, his sleeve slid down, making his Millenium Item visible to Miss Avalon but she didn't have time to notice since he pulled his arm back down sharply and covered it back up before returning to the exercise.
As he finished pulling down his sleeve couldn't control the spirit any longer and before he knew it, he was using one of his items powers, Illusion. It allows the user to create an illusion of what he/she was doing before he/she used this power, in this case, it displayed Hironobu carrying on his moves while the real Hironobu crept up behind Yugi. Only bearers and past owners of Millenium Items can see the real person. Yugi was unaware of what was happening and carried on performing the moves Miss Avalon was giving. Bakura looked to his right when he noticed Hironobu creeping up behind Yugi, his hands going for his neck, from the corner of his eye, 'He's going after the Millenium Puzzle, but not if I have anything to do with it,' he thought before hastily sticking his right leg out, causing him and Hironobu to fall and at the same time, making it look like an accident. When Hironobu hit the floor the illusion stopped, showing him and Bakura on the floor,
"I'm so sorry Hironobu, I didn't mean to trip you up," Bakura quickly apologised, even though it was a lie while he was getting up,
"Are you two alright?" Miss Avalon asked,
"I'm fine," Bakura answered,
"Same here," Hironobu responded as Joey helped him up,
"Alright then class, that wraps it up. Time to get changed before lunch," she told them before leaving the room.
'Humph, Bakura knew I was going for Yugi's puzzle, that's why he interfered,' Yami Hironobu thought as he watched him leave the room,
'That should show him not to take the Millenium Puzzle while I'm around,' Bakura thought as he walked through the door,
"Are you alright Hironobu?" Téa asked
"I said I'm fine Téa, don't worry about it. It was just a little fall," he replied and left the room.
The rest of the day turned into a drag for Hironobu and he couldn't wait to get home.
"Why did you do that?" he asked the spirit when he made sure his parents weren't around,
'Because that was the perfect opportunity to take the puzzle you fool. If that idiot Bakura hadn't tripped me then we would be holding the puzzle right now,'
"Well I'm glad he did. As soon as I send you to the Shadow Realm then I'll have my body back and I can end this chain of vicious attacks you've been doing,"
'Really? Do you remember the last time you tried that?'
'No. I don't want to ...' Hironobu thought as he remembered the horrific ordeal and tears came streaming down his face.
"Was that film great or what," Joey said as he, Tristan, Yugi and Téa walked out of the cinema at 11:30pm on Friday night,
"It sure was," Tristan replied, "wanna lift home Joey?"
"Sure. Catch you guys tomorrow, later Yuge, Téa,"
"Night Joey,"
"See you tomorrow," they replied before carrying on walking.
Yugi and Téa were both quiet walking home that night, unsure of what to say to each other,
"Yugi, can I ask you something?" Téa quickly asked him while trying not to stutter,
"What is it?"
"You don't like Hironobu much do you?"
"I do but ... your right I don't," he told her,
"Why's that?"
"Well he keeps staring at me but I don't know why," he answered, "I've got a feeling that it's got something to do with my Millenium Puzzle," he carried on, sounding serious,
"Well I'm sure he'll get over it, whatever it is,"
"You think so?" he asked while stopping under a street lamp,
"I do think so Yugi," she replied confidently as the unsuspecting two were being watched from the shadows, "we're almost at the park," she said as she started to carry on walking home. When Yugi and Téa reached the park it was deserted and it was 11:57pm, "Well I'll see you tomorrow Yugi, at your place right?" Téa assumed,
"Yeah, my place at about 10am, night Téa," Yugi assured her before they went their separate ways,
"Not if I have anything to do with it," the dark form muttered under his breath from the trees before jumping to different trees to keep up with Yugi.
'Which way should I take?' Yugi thought, 'the long way ...' he looked to the left, which was all the way around the park, 'or the shortcut?' and he looked to the right, which was through a dimly lit, dark alleyway that lasted five minutes, two and a half if he ran. He stood there for a few minutes before walking towards the alleyway, unaware that he was still being followed,
'Now I have you where I want you,' the form thought before walking several yards behind him.
Yugi walked down the alleyway with no problem, 'Yugi,'
"What is it Yami?" Yugi asked while stopping,
'Something isn't right,'
"What is it?"
'I get the feeling that you're being followed down here. You better let me take over for now, until you get home,'
"Alright then Yami, if you think that's best," he replied and switched places with Yami. Yami looked around before walking cautiously to the Game shop. He didn't even take two steps before he heard footsteps running towards him, as he turned around he was quickly smacked around the back of the head with a steel pipe. As Yami fell, Yugi quickly switched places with him but was hit on the back of the head again with another swift blow and was also out cold. The form dropped the weapon and revealed his self. Yami Hironobu had dropped the pipe and a smirk grew across his face, "Now this is where it all ends for both of you," he growled as he dragged his sleeve up to reveal the Millenium Wrist band. He picked up the Millenium Puzzle and smashed it against the nearest wall and allowed the pieces to drop onto the floor next to Yugi's unconscious body, "It's all a matter of time before I have the puzzle in my possession," he said as he put a spell on the Millenium Puzzle before he walked off back into the night, leaving Yugi alone in the alleyway.
