Here is chapter 2! Sorry it took me a couple days, wasn't exactly sure how I was going to start it out, well that and life getting in the way. But I felt bad for not getting this out sooner so my sore throat can wait!
Disclaimer: I don't own. Not YGO, characters or Bad Batz Maru.
Thankie to my reviewers!! Cool, Aurora Diablo (no, no hikari/yami thing, AU, sorry should have said that!), and Lola thank you so much for reviewing!!! Getting nice reviews like the ones you have sent make it so worth writing!
Ever have that feeling you are being watched. I mean when your asleep but it feels like someone is staring so hard it wakes you up. I slowly open my eyes blinking a couple time before realizing there is a pair of startlingly lavender eyes about an inch away from mine. Oh SHIT.
"KURA-CHAN!" And now I have a Malik attached to me at the lips. Guess life could be worse, so what the hell, I kiss back. I often wonder how he can always be so hyper.
"Ewwie Kura! Morning breath!"
"Well you're the damn fool who kissed me. Serves you right." That's when Marik lost it laughing.
"You know Kura you have to be the deepest sleeper I know! Malik was sitting there like that for at least five minutes and you didn't so much as twitch!" Malik in the meantime was sitting on my floor doing a damn good impersonation of a cat when you put peanut butter on the roof of its mouth.
"Icky morning breath. New flavor!" Marik was ready though and braced himself as Malik pounced up into his arms and they began their usual game of seeing who could stick their tongue farther down the other's throat. Great. So I drag myself out of bed and grab the first pair of jeans on the floor my hand lands on. I sniff them a couple times and throw them towards the hamper then grab another pair. Malik looks over at me while still hanging on Marik much like a monkey would.
"You know Kura you should pick up sometime, your room smells worse then the locker room at school!"
"Then hold your breath." Not a morning person definitely refers to me.
Twenty minutes later I was out in the living room, yeah I brushed my teeth, washed my face and at least made an attempt at getting a brush through my hair.
"So what trouble are we causing today?"
"I want food!" Figures Malik is always eating, the way he bounces around its not surprising.
"Okay, so we put food on the list of things today."
Food ended up being first after all, trust me a whiny Malik is not something you want to be around. The rest of the day went as a usual Sunday does, killing time at the mall. Harassing a few kids, playing games, nothing big but we did kill the day and picked up some Bad Batz Maru toilet paper that later that night mysteriously found its way all over the statue leading into school.
Monday morning and I actually dragged my sorry ass out of bed early enough to not be late. Well hey, didn't want to miss the reaction to our "redecorating". I wonder briefly if they have noticed the new color of the pool water. Oh well I'm sure I will hear once I get there.
Sure enough there is Marik and Malik laughing like crazy while the principle and a few other teachers are trying to clean off the statue. It was the last class before lunch when the principle came over the intercom wanting to know if anyone knew anything about the pool. I snickered and sat back in my chair as the class erupted into whispers and the teacher gave up any hope of maintaining order or quiet. Oh well, only five minutes until lunch.
I grab my lunch and head over to the table where a bouncy Malik is yelling "Kura-chan" at the top of his lungs. You know if everyone at this school didn't fear us I might have issues with his hyperactivity. I sit my tray on the table and all but fall into my chair, damn this has been a boring day.
"Hello Kura-chan! I missed you alllllllllll day!" Followed by him dropping into my lap and giving me another lip lock. Another thing, is his kissing, if he wasn't so damn good at it I might have issues with that as well. By the end of the lip lock one of my cans of soda and a bag of chips is gone. Malik jumps over to Marik's lap and has already started on the chips.
"You know Marik, have you ever thought about maybe a leash for your boyfriend?" That gets a chuckle from Marik and a smirk.
"You honestly think that would work?"
"No." He shrugs, most likely he tried at one point.
I grab one of my sandwiches and start eating before something dawns on me.
"Oh hey, Marik. That kid at your uncle's club, angel or whatever. You said you had a guess, so spill." He smirks evilly at me. Great.
"You know that British kid that moved here about three months ago? The quiet one that looks so much like you?"
"Yeah, what about him? Damn kid is so quiet he could blend into a wall and no one would notice."
"Well this Angel kid started showing up about two and a half months ago." He shrugged. "You do the math, but don't strain that pretty little head of yours, I might need it later."
"Hn, go fuck yourself." Malik starts hopping around on Marik's lap like something stung him.
"Ooh! Or me! Yeah me!"
I just shake my head and look over at the table this kid is sitting at, what is his name, I even have a class with him.
"Ryou" Malik whispers into my ear and giggles like he knows the best secret in the world.
Ryou huh? I guess I will watch him this week but looking at the kid I could hardly believe it. I mean he is sitting at the edge of the group of friendship nuts, they barely even notice him. Just sitting there eating his lunch and doing homework?! Who the hell does homework during lunch?! I shake my head and go back to my own food though after turning around I find half of it gone and Malik looking at the ceiling seeming for all the world innocent of anything. Sighing I eat what is left of my lunch.
After lunch Malik, Marik and myself headed off to gym passing the pool on our way. I wonder how in hell Marik got his hands on that much red dye but with him you never know, and usually its better that way. We walk past a small grouping of the swim team standing at the edge of the water as they bitched about how people had no respect for school property or the athletic teams. Then one opens his mouth whining about where are they going to practice now and Malik never could keep his smart mouth shut.
"Well why don't you just go running home to mommy and use the pool there?" And whatever possessed this guy to think he could smart off back to us I will never know.
"At least we have pools, unlike some that live in cardboard boxes." Malik growled and that is never a good sign, usually meant blood would flow soon. Time for an intervention.
SPLOOSH
"I can just be so clumsy sometimes." I smirk down to the kid trying to get out of the water and can't help but wonder how long its going to take before he isn't red anymore. Just makes it easier for his parents to spot him at the next meet I guess. Malik then jumps on my back and starts nibbling at my ear.
"Thankie Kura-chan! You are just so sweet!" The rest of P.E went smooth enough, started out as tennis that quickly turned into dodgball for the other students. The next couple classes passed without event and the day would finish up with chemistry. Course upon walking in I knew something was up when the teacher stopped me before I got two steps in class wanting to talk. I already figured I knew what was coming, the great "Your failing so what are you going to do speech", just what I need. Only this time it was different, don't get me wrong I hate most my teachers but this guy always seemed like he actually tried to help students, go figure.
"Bakura, I really am worried about your grades. I have thought about this a lot and I don't want to see you drop this class, I know you are smart enough to do this. I was thinking then perhaps if we get you a tutor?"
"A tutor?" I know my face showed my disbelief. That was just what I needed, some geek thinking he was better than me and talking down to me just cause he gets a better grade in one class. Great.
"Yes, I was thinking perhaps a student already in this class, that way I could sit you together and he could help you during class as well, if you need it." I finally manage to scare all the kids away from my table and now he does this. Course at this point Ryou comes walking in, this is the only class we share.
"Ryou, if you wouldn't mind could I speak to you?" He stops dead and just looks at the teacher before glancing at me nervously and then back to our teacher.
"Yes, Sensei? Is there something wrong?" I swear he has to have the softest voice I have ever heard.
"No, nothing wrong Ryou except that Bakura here is having trouble in this class. I was wondering perhaps if you would be willing to tutor him?" The kid actually looks terrified, teach sure put him in a spot, agree with the teach and tutor the most feared kid in school or say no and let the teacher down. I almost feel bad for him, almost. So I smirk, not helping his look of fear I know but it is damn fun.
"Of course Sensei, it would be my pleasure." Damn, this kid is way too polite!
"Okay then, I will change the seating roster, you will now share Bakura's table." The teach smiles at him and then goes about changing his little diagram. Ryou looks up at me and I can see the battle in his mind, run away or see what I do. I smirked again, may as well help the kid so I place a hand on his lower back and give him a gentle (yes I can do gentle) push forward. It seems to get his legs moving again.
"Shall we take our seats?" I nod my head in the direction of my, no, our table. Maybe this will be fun after all.
"O-okay."
Today's lesson actually involves chemicals, I just adore labs, so much chaos in so little time. Ryou starts reading the materials list and says he will get the stuff. I just shrug at him, seems that is all the reply he needs. He brings over some of the chemicals and goes to get more stuff, I check this out. Actually I'm not sure what half these are, guess I should have paid more attention. But the colors look kind of nice so I just happen to accidentally mix a few to see what the new color would be. About the time I add the last one Ryou returns, sees the empty bottle in my hand, looks at the beaker in front of me starting to smoke and foam and grabs my arm jerking me towards the door faster than I thought he could move while yelling something about run and explosion. Guess he was right, everyone made it out in time but wow was that a loud boom! Needless to say the rest of school was canceled and we couldn't go get our bags until the fire department and a bomb team got there. That kind of sucked for some but since I didn't care about my books anyways I left to go meet up with Marik and Malik.
Okay and it being 1:30 in the morning this is where I leave off to try and get over this cold. That and this was a good place to stop for plot reasons, I really hope you all enjoyed it and I will try and get another chapter up much faster! Please R&R!!
