(...Yugi...)
Yugi is sitting in math class in complete boredom. Math's wasn't one of Yugi's favourite subjects but it wasn't his worst either. I mean, Maths was quite easy for Yugi but it was because of that, that he was bored. He slightly sighed as he tapped his pencil on his desk while starring at the rain that danced against the glass of the classroom windows.
'A few more minutes and class will be over. I wonder how the others are doing in their classes...ahhh I am so bored.' Yugi accidentally dropped his pencil will he was in deep thought. Not realizing what had happened he jumped a little when he heard a little thump.
"Mr. Motou please concentrate during the lesson! Anyway today's homework is to finish exercise two for Monday. Class dismissed." Yugi's eyes lit up as he stuffed his belongings inside his bag and dashed out the classroom door as fast as he could towards his form room. He pushed the door to the side and sat down in his seat, waiting for his friends to arrive to the classroom.
'Ah finally! It's nearly time to go home! Oh yeah I must ask Yami if he will come to the trip with me! I hope he does...he needs some time off from all of the things he does for me. I wonder why he does these things sometimes, I mean sure we are connected specially but I have a feeling that there's something else...'
"Helloooo! Earth to Yugi! Come in!" Jounouchi was standing in front of Yugi for about two minutes now, trying to get his attention. So far nothing has worked, he tried shaking him, poking him and waving his hands in front of his face. As Jounouchi was about to give up, Yugi started coming back to reality and gave Jounouchi a confused look with the words,
"Jounouchi? When did you get here?" Jounouchi fell over when hearing this, sure Yugi was naïve sometimes but this was too naïve!
"I've been here for quite some time Yugi! You looked like you were deep in thought there. Something you want to tell me?" Jounouchi took a seat next to Yugi and placed his elbows on the desk, looking up at Yugi. Yugi slightly blushed by this but pushed it back down and turned away.
"Nothing really, I was just wondering if Yami would come to the trip with us." Jounouchi shot up by the mentioning of the trip and slightly chuckled.
"Yeah I hope he comes too. So what will we bring? Do we need to take food with us? Oh I wonder what the views like! I hope there's food there! Oh did I mention if we needed to bring food?" Yugi laughed at his hyper friend and patted him on the back
"Yes Jounouchi, you mentioned that already. I know after registration, we'll go to the office and ask for the details of the trip ok!" Jounouchi nodded and placed his head in between his hands and plopped his elbows onto the table. Again Yugi started to blush but quickly hid it before anyone could notice. A few minutes later, everyone was seated in their usual seats and waited for the registration teacher. Another few minutes later, the door slid open and a stricked looking man walked into the room causing a sudden hush throughout the room.
"Good evening class. Now please be quiet as I do the register." He placed his large black suitcase onto the teacher's desk and took out some documents from within it. It was like death had entered the room as everyone sat still in their seats and kept their lips sealed until they heard their name and answered. The bell rang signalling the students to leave the building and head on to their homes. Teenagers and Adults flooded the hallways as they rushed to head on out of the building and into the open air.
(...Anzu...)
"Wait a minute Honda!" Anzu was running down the hallways, hoping in catching up with Honda who was surprising walking at a very quick pace. She was slowly catching up with Honda as he turned a corner but to her surprise she bumped into someone rather large.
"Hey watch where you are going buddy!" Anzu started rubbing her head and looked up at the other person who had a stern look on his face. Anzu's face turned pale as she backed away from the person and tried to apologize to him.
"I'm so sorry sir! I didn't know it was you!" It was the teacher that had taken their register earlier. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed a little.
"It's alright, just don't do it again! No running in the halls either!" Anzu shivered to the sound of his voice but quickly covered it up with a forced smile and a quick nod. The tall, dark man walked off down the halls again and Anzu started to run down the halls once more.
"Shit I've missed him!" Instantly Anzu slapped her hands over her mouth and turned around to see two black eyes staring into the very soul of her being.
"Ms. Mazaki I think me and you need to have a little talk." Anzu bit her bottom lip and followed the man into his office and sat down. Honda came out of his hiding place, laughing like there was no tomorrow.
"That was priceless!" He punched his fist into the air in triumph and walked happily down the hallways and into the streets of Domino.
(...Ryou...)
A small petit boy was anxiously walking down the long corridors and a few doors that were contained within Domino High. He didn't learn that much today for all they did in class was bookwork. Yes boring bookwork that teachers give you when they have nothing else to teach you with. The silver headed angel sighed slightly and pushed the doors open that led out into the open air. The wind gently pulled back his front bangs as he skipped down the stairs with a small smile on his face, he felt as if something good was about to happen any moment now and he just couldn't help but smile even more.
'I wonder what Bakura has been up to today. I hope he hasn't broken anything at home...maybe he can come to the trip? Ah what am I thinking? He wouldn't come! But it wouldn't kill me to try...' Ryou was too deep in thought to even notice that he had bumped into someone, only until he hit the ground. He shook his head a little and was brought back into reality, now that he had realized what he done; he jumped up and offered his hand to the other fallen stranger.
"I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking to where I was going!" The other person lifted his head and Ryou backed away in fright. Yes you can all probably guess who it is but I will tell you anyway, it was the one and only Bakura.
"Do not worry about it Hikari, just don't do it again!" Bakura gave a slight frown but took Ryou's hand and heaved himself up, making Ryou fall forward slightly.
"O-ok Bakura." Ryou shook a little as his face suddenly fell into Bakura's chest from when Bakura heaved himself up. His whole face became red as he backed away and turned his head the opposite way.
"Why don't you look at me Ryou? Is there something wrong with me?" Bakura gently placed a hand on Ryou's shoulder and slowly turned him around to face him. The first thing Bakura noticed was Ryou's bright red face and that the fact he was fidgeting with his hands. Ryou bite his bottom lip and closed his eyes for a few seconds. He was nervous, very nervous but decided in the end that he will say what he was going to ask before,
"Willyoucometotheschooltripwithus?" By now Ryou's eyes were shut tight and his breathing became heavy. Bakura just looked at him trying to figure out what Ryou had just blurted out to him. He stood there for a few minutes more but just shook his head and stared at his Hikari in annoyance.
"Dammit Ryou, calm down and say that again but slowly this time." Ryou took in a few deep breaths and slowly opened his eyes again, head still lowered.
"Will you come to the school trip with us?" Bakura smirks and crossed his arms once he heard this. He never really had a proper break, and he was always dreading to finally get away from the plain, boring streets of Domino. He turned the opposite way from Ryou and looked towards the sky.
"Only on one condition, I will go with you as long as I stay with you." Ryou instantly lifted his head up and revealed eyes that shined an innocent pair of orbs. He never dreamed that Bakura would agree to coming, he just couldn't believe it.
"You are coming with us?" Ryou ran beside Bakura looking up at him like a baby that had found something shiny.
"That's what I just said, didn't I?" Bakura rolled his eyes and started heading off towards their home. Ryou skipped behind him in delight, thinking that the day couldn't get any better.
(...Jounouchi...)
"Sorry to interrupt you Mr. Crawford but I would like to know more about this school trip!" Jounouchi plopped himself onto on of the seats inside the office, followed by Yugi who sighed a little.
"Ah yes the school trip. It's going to be a private beach, not to far from here." Pegasus leaned back on his chair with a small smile planted on his lips as he eyed the two teens with curiosity.
"Yeah, anyway we wanted to know on what to bring, you know food, clothes, extras you know stuff like that!" Pegasus nodded and leaned forward onto the desk.
"I have sent letters home about that sort of information and don't worry; you will be supplied with food during the trip." Jounouchi wiped the sweat from his head and slightly laughed.
"Haha, that's good then! Anyway thank you for your time Sir; we shall be on our way then." Jounouchi grabbed Yugi and rushed out the door, a little nervous. Yugi noticed this right away and questioned him,
"Something wrong Jounouchi?" Jounouchi looked at Yugi but shook it off and sighed.
"That man scares me sometimes...I even think he's gay." Yugi's eyes widen but at the same time, he was broken inside. He didn't want to scare Jounouchi off for...he had feelings for him, has done for most of his life. Ever since he first laid eyes on Jounouchi, something inside Yugi started to bubble, a nice sensation that surged through his body and through his veins that made Yugi build up feelings for him, feelings that he knew were bound to be broken. Jounouchi noticed that Yugi was deep in thought again and tried to bring him back to reality. Yugi slowly came back to his senses, staring at a concerned Jounouchi while doing so.
"Glad that you decided to join the living again Yugi!" Jounouchi chuckled as he grabbed his confused looking friend and heading off towards the school doors. Once they had reached the doors, they pushed open a door each and there stood Yami looking at them in confusion.
"What has taken you two so long?" Jounouchi and Yugi approached him with huge sweat drops behind their heads.
"Heehee, sorry Yami! We were at the head masters office..." Yugi didn't really get to finish his sentence for Yami interrupted it with wide eyes.
"What do you mean at the head masters office? What did you do? It better be something good and not bad! Yugi how could you? I didn't think you would do something naughty! Umm so why were you in there?" Both Yugi and Jounouchi fell over anime style as the looked at their surprised friend in a reassuring manner.
"Well there is a school trip taking place on Monday, we were at the head masters office to find out more info about it. So you don't have to worry about us getting into trouble Yami." Yami crossed his arms in front of him and looked at the other two teens with understanding eyes. Yugi started to bit his bottom lip as he approached his Yami slowly.
"I wanted to also ask you...will you come to the trip with us." Yugi stopped in front of him and looked up at Yami with sweet innocent eyes, hoping that his Yami would come to the trip. A few moments of silence past, until Yami broke it by saying,
"Of course I will Yugi, what makes you think I wouldn't?" A huge smile suddenly planted itself onto Yugi's lips as he leaped into his Yami's arms in complete happiness. Jounouchi and Yami was shocked by Yugi's sudden outburst but quickly took it in and Yami hugged his Hikari back.
"That's great that you're coming Yami! C'mon let's all go home and have something to eat." Jounouchi lit up by hearing this and made a quick head start without hesitation.
"Hurry up then! Don't keep the food waiting!" Yami and Yugi laughed in union as they followed their hurried friend in the direction of their home.
(...Shizuka...)
"Wait up Cleo!" Shizuka was running down the streets of Domino, determined to catch up with her friend, Cleo. Cleo was about nineteen years of age with long flowing brown hair and piercing emerald eyes. She wore a light blue sundress with white sandals today for it was nice and warm, not boiling, not cool but just right.
"Afternoon Shizuka, how are you?" By now Shizuka had caught up with her but was panting from all of the running. She looked up at her friend and gave her a warm smile and replied,
"I'm great Cleo! What about you?" Both of the two girls started to walk slowly as Cleo began to make her speech,
"I'm doing alright. Work is getting a little rough but I'll manage somehow." Shizuka started to think for a while but looked at her friend with another warm smile.
"Well how about taking a short break? My school is having a trip on Monday for a week. Would you be interested in coming? I know you'll love it!" Cleo thought about this for a while but nodded her head.
"I'll have to ask my boss first, but I'm sure he'll let me have at least a week off for all of the work I've done for him lately." Shizuka and Cleo both laughed slightly as they entered the main streets of Domino.
