So, next chapter. Yep, this will be much more humorous... I hope. Or maybe it will prove I have a poor definition of what funny is. Meh, either way, here you go.

Chapter Two – The Gang

Yamis pov

"Are you sure Yami? I mean, I've never seen you wake up so upset."
Yami looked down at his light and couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt in his chest. Yugi was looking up at him with his big innocent eyes, each one riddled with concern for him, violet pools of raw emotion.
Yami had woken up last night in a sweat, after crying something out that Yugi had thankfully missed.
Yami smiled, in an effort to comfort his light.
"It's alright really Yugi, it was just a nightmare, and I think I ate too much last night."
He opted for one of Jou's normal excuses, hoping he wouldn't notice, but his shinning orbs still held the smallest traces of worry.
"Come on Yugi, or we'll be late."
Yugi instantly perked. Thank Ra.
"Remember what we are doing tonight!?"
"Yami!" Yugi scolded.
Yami offered a smile for an apology, and closed his eyes to think. Tonight, tonight? Bing bing bing BING! Mokubas Birthday party!
His eyes shot open and looked down at Yugi who smiled again.
"Mokubas birthday party."
"Yep!" Yugi squeaked, obviously trying hard not to let out a squeal of excitement.
"Are you excited? We are going to spend the weekend with Mokuba in his billionaire mansion! With everyone else too!!"
Yugi visibly shook with the excitement that was coursing through him.
Yami sighed and shook his head in amusement. His eyes flicked to the clock and he swallowed.
Latching onto Yugis coat, he proceeded to drag him toward the front door of the game shop, slinging his own bag on his shoulder on the way.
"Yami? What are you doing? We still have ages, what's your problem?"
"Come on Yugi!" Yami said, trying to stress the urgency in his voice.
'Almost there, almost out that damn door.'
"But Yami!" Yugi whined from his grasp, "we have to wait fo-"
"Crap!" he swore. Too late.
AN;(now we have an abrupt change of view, sorry bout that.)
Yugi twisted around in my hold so he was facing the door, and smiled at Anzu.
Anzu pushed through the door, while Yugi broke free of my hand and greeted her with enough warmth I thought I was going to be violently ill.
I, meanwhile, forced a smile and let the honey sweet words Yugi had promised me to say, drip from my lips. Of course, I now detest honey.
"Good morning Anzu, how are you?"
Anzu turned from Yugi and beamed at me. I felt my eyes water in pain.
She approached with a huge smile on her face, and took hold of my arm. 'Argh! It burns!'
"Fine thanks Yami, I'm glad you asked though. What about you?"
She batted her eyelashes at me, and a mantra appeared in my head. 'I will not maim or disfigure, I will not maim or disfigure.'
"I'm fine Anzu."
My eyes flicked to Yugi in a pleading manner that went right over Anzus head, but he just smiled sweetly and headed for the door.
I sighed. Okay, it wasn't that bad. 'Maybe I'll get hit by a car on the way to school.'
"We'd better get going Yami," Anzu purred at me while raking her eyes over my body. 'Are semi trailers driving this early of a morning?'
-Ra damn you Yugi!-
/Be nice Yami/ Yugi mentally warned me.
-Nice? NICE?! This is beyond nice! This is plain and simple cruelty!-
/Oh come on, she's not that bad/
-I'm losing feeling in my arm-
Yugi turned and smirked at me. Smirked? Yugi?
-Why are you smirking?-
/Cause you are attached to Anzu. Thanks to me/
-WHAT!?-
I tore my arm from Anzu's grasp and leapt at Yugi, who let out a muffled scream and took off out the door and down the street. I heard Anzu calling out to us while she tried in vain to catch up, but now, both of us ignored her.
"You better watch out Yugi, cause if I catch you, you'll be spending tonight in the shadow realm!" I cried out to him, as I got closer and closer.
Yugi let out a squeak and spun around a corner. I tore after him, only to ram head first into some ones chest, my hair lightly cushioning the blow.
I stepped back, rubbing my head and unconsciously straightening the mass of spikes, before I looked up.
"Not harming your light I hope Yami."
I growled. Yugi was now hiding behind, the slightly taller than me, Otogi.
"Your lucky Yugi."
Yugi smiled at me from behind Otogi, and I scowled. Otogi glanced from me, to Yugi, and then the slowly approaching Anzu.
"What has Yugi done that's made you look like Bakura on heat?"
Had I not already been absolutely revolted, the thought of the horny Tomb Robber would have left me stomach less. As it was, I didn't even notice the remark.
"He's trying to set Anzu up with me," I snarled.
Otogi looked repulsed. "Then don't worry Yami," he grinned evilly, "I'll take care of Yugi."
He spun round and grabbed Yugi before slinging him up onto his shoulder. Yugi squeaked, while I couldn't help but smile.
They were so cute together.
Anzu came up beside me and I was thankful, Ra was I thankful, that she hadn't decided to re-attach herself.
We fell in tow behind Otogi, who still had Yugi over his shoulder. Yugi was busy whining at him to put him down.
"Not until we get to school."
"What? Why? Put me down dicey boy!"
Yugi knew that Joeys nickname got to Otogi, but the thing about that was that Otogi thought Yugi was cute when he said it. I had conveniently forgotten to mention that to Yugi.
We turned the next corner and were greeted by the rather pale and unfortunately familiar sight of the school building. Ugh.
"Yami!"
My eyes flicked to where Otogi had decided to dump Yugi, and I started laughing.
Tears of mirth filled my eyes as I took in Yugi, clinging to the branch above and beneath him with his legs and arms, and begging Otogi to let him down.
Otogi was busy "re-educating" Yugi, as quietly as possible, about the 'she-devil.'
"Yugi, you have to understand. She's a crime against the laws of all things possible. Its like they say, there are fouler things than orcs in the deep places of the world."
At my laughter however, Yugi shot me a Yugi glare. The one that says I'm-very-angry-at-you-but-will-forgive-you.
Later.
I shrugged at him.
"After this morning, you deserve it."
"I thought Yamis were meant to protect their hikaris!"
I snorted. "Like your endanger with Otogi!"
At this Otogi shot me a glare, and rose his arms to Yugi who gladly relinquished his hold on the branches to slide into them, coming to a gentle rest with his lips to Otogis'.
"Now isn't that cute."
The biting sarcasm cut through the long kiss, and all three turned to see Bakura and Ryou striding up. Well, Ryou didn't stride as much as he jogged to keep up with his dark.
"Morning Tomb Robber, I see you made it to school without endangering your life or your hikaris, so what did you do? Walk underneath the highway bridge this time?"
"Shuddup Pharaoh, I didn't ask for your opinion."
"No, but I still felt like giving it to you."
Bakura growled deep in his throat, but was soothed by Ryou who wrapped a slender arm around his torso. Bakura instantly calmed, and turned back to Yugi and Otogi.
"So what has brought about this little kiss fest?"
"Long story. It involves Yugi, Yami, Anzu, and makes my stomach churn," Otogi rallied off.
"Ahhh, so you took my advice Yugi," Bakura said with a smirk in Yamis direction.
My mouth dropped open.
"You put him up to it!?" I crowed. "Say good-bye to Ryou, Bakura, and hello to the shadow realm," I snarled, snapping out my arm, aiming directly for Bakura. "SHADOW R-Ryou!! Get out of the way!"
Ryou now stood in front of Bakura, and Bakura thankfully draped his arms around Ryous waist, sheltering slightly behind the shorter boy.
Ryou smiled at me. "Sorry Yami, but you have all weekend for this, can't you give it a rest now?"
I sighed. "You actually think he'll last the weekend?"
I was ignored. I never seemed to get anything I wanted these days. No matter what it was.
Or who...
"Fine, but come tomorrow morning, watch your back tomb robber." I growled.
"Yeah yeah pharaoh," he said, waving me off, and turning towards the carpark.
It was then that I felt the extra shadow magick pull up. Suppressing the urge to just disappear into the millenium puzzle, as I was most prone to doing these days, I sighed and headed after Bakura and the others.
Malik and Marik were conversing quietly with each other when the group pulled up beside them. Both turned and smirked at us.
"Well, aren't we in luck Malik? Seems we have attracted a large group of people to us. Now I don't have to go looking for a large group of people to kill."
Bakura smirked at this.
Homicidal maniacs. They can't be remotely close to normal? They can't for a second have the attitudes of their hikaris? No. They have to be permanent nutcases, their lights always needing me to come and sort them out when they decide to go out for a killing spree. Not that I blame them. It takes all my self control not to just diss the pharaoh title and walk around shooting all the people that piss me off. There are plenty of them out there. Like the other day, this guy just couldn't get over my hair, so i..
"Anyway, what have we done to deserve this little... gathering?"
Yugi stepped up to them, not even coming close to any of there heights despite the fact that he remained on the curb.
"Aren't you guys excited about tonight?"
Ryou perked. "I am Yugi! I can't wait to see Mokuba and his place!"
Bakura and Marik just gave each other side ways glances, smirking evilly. Sigh. Note to self: remember deck.
Marik turned to address all of us. "Yeah, can't wait to see how many monsters just one room in his house can hold."
Duel deck: check.
Bakura smirked. "I wonder how many toilets we can back up? Or how many neighbours we can piss off?"
Ryou and Malik turned on their darks.
"Oh no you won't! You are going to be a peaceful Yami for just once! Like Yami!"
I groaned. "Please, just leave me out of this! The only thing I will have to do with this is to save Kaibas house from their insane brains, or what's left of them, that's it."
"Kill Joy," Marik muttered.
Bakura kept up his smirk however. "And what if I refuse to do a Yami and kiss ass?"
I shot a pure look of venom his way. "You have no idea how much I would love to shoot you right now, you should just be thankful your light enjoys your company, though how is beyond me."
It was Bakuras turn to give me a death look this time, before giving a smug smirk.
"It's the back-to-back orgasmic sex, don't spose you'd know much about that though would you? And bear in mind I'm talking about sex in general."
I'm pretty sure I turned a stunning shade of red, before giving him the finger.
He grinned evilly. "Well, if you really want to."
My eyes widened before I groaned.
"You'll behave." Ryous voice, soft but firm, broke through our battle of sexual wits, which I was sad to realise I was losing.
Bakura smirked again. "And why, may I ask? How do you think you are going to make me?"
"No sex."
Bakuras face fell.
"Ha! You are a pathetic excuse for a grave robber! Can't even go a few nights without screwing your light, and you think I'm a sex beggar!"
Bakura snarled and leapt at me.
My eyes narrowed and I lashed out with my fist, catching Bakura on the side of the face. He carried on unfazed, and I had to admire his strength as he tackled me to the ground and served me with a fist to my jaw. I heard Ryou shouting, as well as Yugi. I saw Yugi run up and start to pull on Bakuras hair while I kept his fingers from closing around my throat. Bakura used one of his free feet to kick Yugi back. I growled, and brought my knee up hard and fast. Bakura gasped in pain, before disappearing.
I looked for the white haired demon, but could only see Otogi nursing a wincing Yugi, and Ryou, deep in concentration, obviously trying to control Bakura through the ring.
I groaned as Marik came over and hauled me off the ground. "Nice one Pharaoh, not ten minutes here, and you've already wounded Bakura drastically."
I smirked. "How long do you think before he can walk without help?"
Marik shook his head and looked up, trying hard not to laugh by trying to empathise with Bakura. Considering Marik isn't the most emphatic person, he kinda failed at the first.
I walked up to Yugi, rubbing my jaw slightly. He looked up at me with watery eyes and I lowered myself to my knees by his side.
"Where does it hurt?"
Yugi pointed to his chest and I felt there as gently as possible. He still gasped in pain. His ribs were all intact, but one was probably fractured. I gathered this from the fact I had been the target of many of Bakuras kicks. I concentrated, laying one hand on Yugis chest and the other on my puzzle. I felt the warm glow of the puzzle against my chest and thought of the energy within it, bright and brilliant, flowing down my arm to Yugis chest and healing the pained area. The buzz of energy left me abruptly as it shot down my arm and into Yugi.
Yugi gasped slightly at the feeling before smiling and closing his eyes at the sensation. Anyone would think he was... bad Yami bad! When he opened them, he looked as though he could run a mile and lift a ton.
"Better?"
Yugi smiled again and nodded. "Much."
I turned to see Ryou shaking his head. He finally sighed. "Watch out Yami, here he comes."
Bakura materialized next to Ryou and I fought back the overwhelming urge to throw something at him. Anything. I didn't care if it meant touching Anzu. I just wanted to maim him for hurting Yugi.
Bakura just looked at me with the same intense look of hatred I was giving him. Both of us were extremely pissed. It didn't take a brain surgeon to figure that one out.
"Now," Ryou spoke up, "you, Bakura, are going to apologize first to Yugi, and then Yami."
Bakura looked enraged at the suggestion.
"And you, Yami," Yugi spoke up, "are going to apologize to Bakura for having to be a smart-ass."
At this, I glared at my own hikari. Apologize? To the tomb robber?! He must be mad. I expected it though, I mean, when I was inside the puzzle, he talked to himself.
"Yami!"
"What?" I growled.
"Well?"
I gave a look of indignation. "Why do I have to go first?"
Ryou nodded. "Fine. Bakura?"
Bakura looked about ready to erupt. I had a sneaking suspicion I looked about the same.
In the time of our argument, Jou and Honda had appeared as well as Anzu popping up from somewhere (where she had disappeared in the first place after we arrived was a mystery, though one that would remain unsolved as I really couldn't give a shit). All were at a safe distance from Bakura and myself. Otogi stood behind Yugi, who was giving me a I'm-waiting look.
Ryou was beside the very pissed off Bakura, with his hands on his hips.
"Well?"
I grit my teeth and decided to get it over with.
"Sorry Tomb Robber," I muttered, knowing everyone there had heard it anyway.
Bakura looked smug until Ryou gave a mental prompt.
"I'm sorry Yugi. Sorry Pharaoh."
Bakura had said the first part quite openly, and done what I had done and muttered my apology. Ryou smiled, pleased. Yugi gave Bakura a smile, that was returned very meagerly. Bakura and I started glaring at each other once again.
"Well, now that you children have matured for a minute, shall we head in?"
As Bakura and I turned our glares on Marik, the bell decided to toll. Ra damn it all.
The ache of my jaw suddenly returned, and I was rather pleased to see Bakura limping and holding his face. Hmph. That'll teach the bastard robber.
As I entered the classroom, I felt a pair of cold cerulean eyes following my movements toward my desk. I stopped and looked at the billionaire, only to see he had already turned his gaze away. Damn, and here I was thinking I could get a look at those gorgeous eyes. Sighing, I pulled out the chair at my desk and sat down with a huff. The nightmare of last night still bothered me infinitely. I couldn't deny the fact that I was attracted to Kaiba. He had once been my high priest, my love. And I couldn't deny the fact that I envied Yugi, Bakura and Marik for what they had. They had someone to love them, someone 'who' loved them.
"Morning class."
There was no reply to this teacher. Most teachers showed up in the morning and were relatively bright and cheery. Who wouldn't be if you worked in a place where you had power over just about everyone there? But our teacher walked in and sat down, looking as if this was more hell for him then us, and read the notices, called our names then made us sit there in silence. I mean, he's being paid to do this! If someone spoke, automatic detention. Sounds harsh huh? Well, this guys was like that. Not to mention fugly. The guy had probably never gotten laid in his life! And if he had, it would've been out of pity, I assure you.
The bell sounded again, and most of us stood. We all had different classes now, excepting Yugi with Jou, Honda and Anzu, and me with Bakura.
When I looked at what we had, I groaned. Bakura and I now both had gym. Really, am I that bad a person? Ok, don't answer that one.

How'd ya like that? You know the only way I'll know is with a review. And, if someone can tell me where Otogi's quote is derived from, the one involving Anzu, I'll give em a cookie. (Oh yeah, that one is a 'real' hard one to figure out.)
Next chapter, dancing, match making, and Kaiba bored enough to imagine exploding soccer balls. Yep, its entertainment all right.
Btw, sozz about the length of this chapter, I get carried away.
