Yami Pandora: Thank you for the reviews!
dude: glad you like my fic.
Frth Ice: Seto is supposed to be ooc. A guy who was supposed to be dead has returned and raped him. Anyway, he's gonna act normal around Yugi's friends… for now anyway.
Nachzes Black-Rider: glad you liked the song, and the chapter! The word 'Nemo' means 'no one' in Latin… I think.
Chapter 7
(Last Time)
They leaned in for a quick kiss and once it was over, they immediately got out of the limo and walked towards the school entrance, preparing themselves for the others reactions.
(This Time)
Yugi and his friends were waiting in the classroom for Yami and Seto. Yami had told Yugi everything through their mind link last night, because Yugi would have found out everything anyway. They were never able to hide anything from each other, and were always teasing each other mercilessly about their crushes. Yugi had a crush on Tea, but was too shy to say anything and Yami kept on teasing him about it. The tables had turned when Yugi found out about Yami's crush on Seto. Yami had thought Yugi would be disgusted by it and had tried to hide it, becoming more distant, but Yugi acted perfectly normal, trying to get Yami to speak to Seto.
When Yami and Seto entered the classroom, Yugi shot up and ran over to Yami, giving him a hug. Seto twitched with jealousy, which didn't go unnoticed by Yugi. so you finally told him then he said and shot Yami a mental smirk down the link. shut up, I see you haven't told Tea Yami shot back. Yugi blushed. "Hey, what's wrong Yugi?" Tea asked.
"Um… N.. nothing" Yugi stammered. Yami sent a smirk of his own through the link. Seto looked uncomfortable being with Yami's friends and sent him a sympathetic look. Even he found Yugi's friends annoying sometimes, especially Tea's friendship speeches. "What are you doin' here? Shouldn't ya be at home, you were pretty beat up last night" Joey said, not trying to pick a fight with Seto, for once.
"I'm fine, not that it's any of your business, mutt" Seto snapped. He then walked over to his desk, slamming down his metal brief case, and sat down. "Just askin', sheesh, no need to be so snappy" Joey snapped back. Seto ignored him and stared straight in front of him. Yami wished that Seto could open up around other people, but knew better than to push it. "Ya know, I'm kinda glad he got his ass kicked. Certainly brought him down a bit last night" Joey said. Seto flinched as this was said. Yami saw this and sent Joey a glare.
"Shut up Joey" he said threateningly. Yugi felt Shadow Magic flare up around Yami, and said "Hey the teacher will be here soon. We'd better get to our seats". Calm down Yami, he doesn't know what happened last night he sent through the mental link. Well, he still shouldn't say things like that Yami shot back heatedly. Yugi shook his head and sat down along with all the others.
The teacher arrived a couple of minutes later and switched on the computer. He brought up the register on the computer and called it out. After he had sent it off he turned to the class and said "We're starting a new project today. I'm going to assign you into groups of three. Yugi, Tea and Miho. Tristan, Duke and Ryou. Bakura, Marik and Malik" 'Uh oh' was the thought on everyone's mind. Whenever those three got together, chaos ensued. The teacher continued to call out names and then finally "Seto, Yami and Joey". Joey and Seto groaned, but didn't protest, which relieved Yami, as it gave him hope that they wouldn't always fight. Yami and Seto exchanged a quick smile before turning back to listen to the teacher. "Well, go and sit in your groups then" There was a scramble as everyone rushed to sit next to their partners. Yami and Joey moved over to Seto's table, Joey grumbling under his breath the whole way, and sat down. "Your project shall be anything to do with the past. You have a month to do it. At the end of the month, you will present your project in front of the whole class. Anyone who doesn't finish their project will receive an automatic fail for this subject and be held back a year". The Yami's and Hikari's exchanged glances. 'This topic will be too easy' they all thought.
"Well, what shall our project be about?" asked Joey. Seto rolled his eyes.
"Obviously Ancient Egypt. Besides, I think it's the only thing you'd know anything about to do with the past" he said.
"Hey! Are you insulting my intelligence?" Joey yelled.
"Does 'yes' count as an answer?" Seto asked sarcastically. Joey muttered something unintelligible under his breath, most likely one curse or another, not wanting to land himself in yet another detention. Seto smirked in victory and turned back to Yami. "So, what do you think?" he asked.
"Wha..? You're actually askin our opinion? Are you sure you're OK?" asked a shocked Joey.
"One, I wasn't asking your opinion, I was asking Yami's. Two, I'm perfectly fine, and three, shut up mutt" Seto snapped.
"Ya jerk. We helped you last night and this is the thanks we get? We should have left you there, maybe it would have taught you not to be such a bastard" said Joey angrily. Seto sent him a death glare. "You've got an attitude problem, you know that?" Joey said.
"I don't have an attitude problem, I love my attitude" Seto retorted. Joey glared at Seto and started talking to Yami about Egypt. Seto tuned out, knowing all that Yami was saying anyway. While he remained in thought, the lesson soon came to an end and the bell rang for second period. Science. 'Great' Yami thought. He may be smart for his 'age', but he was no good at science, being Ancient Egyptian after all.
Seto took his usual seat alone in the science lab, while Yami, Yugi and the others all sat near each other. As the teacher droned on about light and sound waves, some of the students sat taking notes, while most were zoning out and the teacher was completely oblivious to this. Seto, as usual, was ignoring the teacher, as he knew all this stuff anyway. He didn't need to be taught about longitudinal and transverse waves. How he managed to answer all the questions the teacher asked him amazed everyone, as it was apparent to the stupidest person he didn't pay attention.
After a long boring lecture on waves and extensive note taking, the class packed away their things and walked hurriedly out of the class room.
The day went pretty much as normal, each lesson long and boring. Yami had kept his promise to Mokuba and stayed with Seto the entire time, telling his friends Mokuba had made him stay with Seto that day. Yugi was the only one who understood why. They had taken this well, and endured Seto's presence, which wasn't really hard as he was silent and hadn't spoken to them. This shocked them as Seto was usually throwing one insult or another, but even when Joey threw truck loads of insults at him, he hadn't retaliated. He had seemed to be deep in thought.
At the end of the day, Yami and Seto walked out with Yugi and his friends. "We should probably start that history assignment today" said Yami.
"What ya worryin' for Yami. That assignment's not in for a month" said Joey. He sounded too confident for someone who was bordering a fail in history. Seto glared at Joey and said harshly "well some of us don't want to be failures, but if it suits you that's fine by me. Less time I have to spend with you". He smirked at the look of anger growing on Joey's face while the others sweat dropped each of them thinking Seto was back to his normal insulting self. "You may as well come over to the mansion to at least start the damn thing" said Seto.
"And why should we come to your place, Kaiba?" asked Joey.
"Because, dolt, I have more books in that place than in the local library… and before you say it, they were my step-fathers". Yami noticed Seto stiffen at the mention of Gozaburo. No one else seemed to notice though, only people who knew him would have noticed, and not many people bothered to get to know him; mostly because he pushed them away.
"I agree with Se… Kaiba, he would have a more extensive range of books, and internet access, whereas the library would be more limited and it closes soon anyway" said Yami. Everyone turned their heads when they noticed Yami's slip up over Seto's name, but most of them let it slide, except Joey. "Hey, you almost called Kaiba, Seto. What the hell's with that?"
"Um… nothing, just a slip" said Yami nervously. There was an awkward silence and then the limo pulled up by the curb. Seto opened the door and motioned for Yami and Joey to get in. Joey just looked at Seto sceptically. Seto sighed and said "I'm not going to kill you, you know, get in" he said. He looked towards the others and said "you may as well come too, I'll drop you all off at the game shop". This stunned everyone into further silence. One thought flew across everyone's mind: 'Kaiba being nice? Are we in a parallel universe?', while Seto was thinking 'why did I offer them a ride? I plead insanity'. Yami had an amused look on his face and was about ready to burst out laughing at his friends faces, but managed to restrain himself. Everyone clambered in the limo. Seto sighed and got in himself, wondering whether or not he should see a psychiatrist.
The ride to the Kame Game shop had an awkward silence. No one wanted to say anything that might have upset Seto's 'pleasant' mood. When they came to the shop, everyone rushed out of the limo, said a quick 'thank you' to Seto, and a 'bye' to Joey and Yami. Seto ignored them and told his driver to go to the Kaiba mansion. "Hey, Kaiba, what's with you being so nice all of a sudden? You sick or something?" Joey asked. Seto couldn't tell if Joey was being sarcastic or not so he answered "Yeah, I'm sick. Sick of you" with a smirk.
"Well sooorry. Excuse me for askin'" Joey said sarcastically. 'Oh boy' Yami thought. 'This is gonna be fun'.
Random Song – Nightwish, I Wish I Had An Angel
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I'm going down so frail n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I wish an angel
I wish an angel
I wish an angel
I wish an angel
