Tears

Dear reader,

I do not own Yugioh or any of its characters. Takahashi does so I'll deal with it. This is my first fan fic, so please read and review. I should have all of it up very soon. Thank you for your patience. Enjoy.

Chapter One: Reminisce

"Jonouchi? Jonouchi? Jonouchi stop daydreaming! Class starts in 5 minutes!" yelled Anzu at the dawdling Jonouchi. "What?" Jonouchi yelled as he started falling back. The problem was he was sitting on a windowsill. He started falling, but anzu and Yugi were able to pull him back into the classroom.

"Jonouchi-kun," muttered Yugi. "You've had your head in the clouds lately. Is something on your mind?"

"No really, just nothing," Jonouchi said sarcastically. "Mai left to Phuket for the summer while we're in Domino rotting. And Shizuka….Shiz…uka…" Before he could finish his sentence, Honda interrupted him.

"Jonouchi, don't you dare tell me something happened to her." Jonouchi, Yugi and Anzu turned around to see Honda and Otogi listening to their conversation.

Otogi commented, "You can't seriously call yourself a good brother and let her down. I mean…" Everyone was silenced as they heard the bell ring for them to take their seats.

After a couple of grueling hours of school, Jonouchi and the others went out of the school gate.

"Hey guys," said Anzu, "since its Friday, I'm working double at Burger World. Wanna come with me?"

"Double shift?" Honda pondered. "Does that mean we can get free burgers?" Honda and Otogi went insane over the idea and were ready to hug Anzu to death until she clubbed them with her school bag. "No, you freeloaders! But do you still at least want to come anyway?"

Otogi replied," Might as well. We got nothing better to do. Let's go!" Otogi, Anzu and the others began walking toward the restaurant, except for Jonouchi.

"Maybe another time. See you around." Yugi turned back as Jonouchi began walking the other way.

"Anzu, I'm going to go with Jonouchi. I'll come back as soon as I can." Yugi started running toward Jonouchi.

"Jonouchi-kun, I think there is something wrong and it has to do with Shizuka. You can tell me."

Jonouchi stopped suddenly and spoke. "Last week, there was a car crash in Osaka. I saw a report on the news. As they showed the collision point, I saw my mom's car and Shizuka's face was bleeding on the broken windshield. The impact did it. Shizuka is dead!"

Yugi saw tears drop from Jonouchi's face. "Jonouchi, I…" Before he could finish. Three students from a neighboring school showed up.

"Well lookie here," one of them said. It's Katsuya, Jonouchi-san's kid, and that Motou shrimp. Sorry, we forgot to introduce ourselves. We're just the best street fighters at our school who have a reputation to keep. We're here to beat the crap out of you, Katsuya!"

"You caught me in a bad mood. I'll take your challenge, you punks."

The punks pulled their weapons. One put on brass knuckles, and the other two pulled out switchblades. The punk with the knuckles stepped up first against Jonouchi. He lunged a punch forward, but Jonouchi easily evaded it. Before he could pull his arm back, Jonouchi brought his elbow down and broke the guy's arm. While he was screaming in pain, Jonouchi knocked him to the ground helplessly.

The other two sprinted forward and one cut the side of Jonouchi's cheek, but that was the only injury he sustained. He elbowed one of them in the face, and high-kicked the other one.

"Punks? You're just a bunch of weak brats." The three barely were able to get up and run away, with their tail between their legs.

"Yugi, don't tell anyone about Shizuka, okay?"

"Okay."

"Thank you. Now go off and enjoy yourself." The two began walking opposite directions.
