Hikari's-dark-side-08: Hope I don't get you in trouble!..I hate those lectures too....anyways.. More will be coming..the fluffiness..but this chapter is more looking at some of the people emotional/mental states..

Chibi-B-channie: Thankies!!..I did up it, but for some reason it took longer for the rating to change than the story to post....go figure. Glad I made your day though!.. … Yeah, when I wrote that it made me sad too (and yet still I wrote it..;;) But it helps show that as much as Bakura and Marik might seem tough they have a real big soft spot.

Psyche: Thank you! Sorry I kept you waiting But the next chapter after this will be much faster! Cross my heart!

Dark Magician Girl / Hikaru: Thanks! Yeah, the old people part just kind of fell in there, leave it to my warped mind..;; And just wait till Friday and the party rolls around!....but you have to get through this chapter and at least one more first!

Okay.. Now on with the chappie!!

Bakura's POV:

"And the capital of Guam?" That was when Ryou's uncle opened the door and spotted me, his face went from angry to guarded, I really don't like this guy.

"Ryou, I was not aware you would have a… guest." Ryou looked up at him before bowing his head slightly.

"Sorry sir. Bakura needed some help with his homework so I hadn't seen a problem in it." His uncle cleared his throat before looking at me.

"Is this going to become a regular thing? I mean Ryou teaching you, I thought that was what they paid the faculty to do." I growled low in my throat before he quickly turned to Ryou. "With all this help you are giving I hope your grades are not suffering."

"No sir! I have kept all of my grades up, I would not allow them to fall." He nodded.

"Good, because if they do then your friend here will have to find someone else to help him. Perhaps one of the teachers actually getting paid for this job." I couldn't take it anymore, I really wanted to pound this guy!

"Well if any of the teachers there could explain things half as well as Ryou then the whole school might be honor roll." That got his glare off of Ryou and back on me, where I locked eyes with him. I wasn't about to lose this battle and sure enough he backed down first glancing at Ryou again, wimp.

"Dinner will be in one hour. I expect your friend to leave by that point."

"Yes sir." His uncle had started to leave when suddenly Ryou's head shot up. "Oh! Sir!" He turned back around facing into the room again. "I was wondering, well Yugi and I were talking and the mid finals will be coming up not too much longer. We were thinking of maybe getting together for the weekend. Compare notes and such, to make sure we have everything." Ryou looked truly nervous.

"So in other words you wish to spend the entire weekend at Yugi's?" Ryou nodded. "To study?"

"Yes sir."

"Chaperone?"

"His grandfather." His uncle looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Well since it is for school I don't see why not. But!" He looked threateningly at Ryou. "You will be home Sunday night by curfew and you will come home Friday before leaving. Collect your things for the weekend then and may leave after your aunt and I get home."

"Yes sir! Thank you very much!" He just snorted shutting the door and walking off. Ryou turned to me, his grin matching my own as I leaned forward and kissed him lightly. "I can go."

"I know baby. I'm glad. Now that sad excuse for a baboon's ass better not change his mind!" Ryou giggled before kissing me again.

"I seriously doubt he will, since it is for school." Ryou did a very over the top angelic face.

"Yeah yeah, my tenshi with black wings." He giggled and I kissed him again.

Seemed time flew by after that, way too fast. We finished my homework and even did some of my report due next week, I think all my teachers are going to be shocked, me actually turning in homework. On my way home I grabbed some burgers for dinner, figured I would veg until Ryou called later.

Ryou's POV:

Dinner went slow as usual, I mean, I know I eat slowly but my aunt takes forever! So I sit waiting for about ten minutes until she finishes.

"Did you want some dessert tonight?" I know the question is asked mainly of my uncle, but I doubt I could sit here much longer.

"Yes, please." The phone rang, Yes! An escape.

"I think I will pass tonight ma'am. Dinner was great." Uhg, yeah what I managed to choke down, the woman really needs to learn about spices!. "But I believe that call is most likely Yugi for me. May I be excused?" They both nodded and I dashed off, I would do the dishes later. Grabbing the hall phone I tried to hold back my excitement.

"Moshi, moshi."

"Ryou please."

"Speaking, Yugi. Hold on and let me move to my room."

"Okay." I ran up and grabbed my cordless turning it on before running back to hang up the hall phone.

"Still there?"

"No, I ran off."

"Oh ha ha. You know I doubt your other friends would ever believe you to be sarcastic." I had walked back up to my room by that point.

"I know, but their faces are beautiful when I do slip up." We both laughed about that, I could just picture Anzu looking shocked and Jou looking confused. "So have you asked your uncle yet?"

"He said it was okay!" I was trying so hard not to shout for joy but it wasn't easy! "So what did your grandfather say?"

"He said it wasn't a problem, that you need to get out and actually be a kid." He laughed kind of nervously. "Said he was glad to see me going to a party and making new friends as well."

"Oh? Doesn't he like your group?"

"Its not that, he likes them fine. He just, well he worries about me."

"Why is that?" I could tell Yugi was really embarrassed but I truly wanted to know.

"He knows that I'm not, well, interested in girls. So he always kind of worried about me being lonely. Honda never hid his views so Grandpa thought I would, umm… stay lonely."

"Oh, I see. Yugi, you're a great person, very caring. But you have to do what makes you happy. We can't change who we are attracted to, so why try to hide it. There will always be people like Honda… So does this mean you like Yami?" I could almost feel his blush through the phone as he giggled.

"I just still can't believe he invited me. Please tell me its not a cruel joke or something! That has really been on my mind, it wouldn't be the first time of someone playing a joke on me."

"No Yugi, it isn't a joke. From what I have been told Yami would never do something like that. I guess he is as worried as you are actually. But he is just better at hiding it."

"I hope your right Ryou." He sighed, I felt bad for my friend. I was just as nervous and scared of the same thing when Bakura started hitting on me.

"One thing though Yugi, what about your other friends?"

"What do you mean?" I swallowed not sure how phrase this.

"I don't think Anzu would have a problem, I don't know Jou that well… but Honda…" I left it to hang, not sure exactly what say.

"Oh. I hadn't thought of that." He was silent for a moment. "He isn't going to take it well."

"I didn't think he would."

"Ryou! What am I going to do?!"

"Well first thing is take a deep breath and calm down. I mean we have a whole week yet to see if this is even something we have to worry about."

"Yeah, Yami most likely won't even like me. Chances are he was just being nice since I was there when he invited you."

"I wouldn't count on that. Not after what I have heard. But let just take this one day at a time, okay?"

"Alright, and thanks Ryou." I couldn't help but smile.

"Well I would say you owe me, but I think this time the favors even out." Yugi actually started laughing again, which was what I was hoping. "My uncle wants me to come home first before I go over, that whole checking in with them thing. So Kura will pick you up and Malik will come get me. Do you plan to go straight home after school?"

"No, they wanted to go catch a movie right after school. I told them I had to be home by five though since you are coming over." Yugi seemed quiet about something, I figured Honda.

"Yugi, stop worrying about Honda, please. He isn't worth it. I don't mean to sound harsh but I learned a long time ago, real friends accept you, all of you. You don't have to hide from them. If he does try to cause trouble then I'm sure Kura, Marik and Yami will be more trouble than he would want."

"I know, I just can't help but feel guilty. Its like I'm having to choose between my friends who have helped me and the chance of someone actually really liking me, you know, that way."

"I know Yugi. But don't dwell on it, please. Just see how the week goes and the party on Friday before you make any decisions."

"Alright, well I have a bit of homework left to finish."

"Okay, I will see you tomorrow then."

"Bye!" With that we hung up and I lay back on my bed, this weekend was going to be great! I picked up the phone again, this time calling Bakura and letting him know about Friday. We talked for about an hour, he had me laughing most of the time until it hurt with all his stories of growing up with Marik. Too soon my uncle told me it was bedtime, standing there waiting to make sure I hung up. I bid Kura goodnight and cuddled into my bed looking forward to pleasant dreams.

The next morning went as before, get ready, eat breakfast, listen to uncle's hardly veiled dislike of Bakura, rush off to school as soon as Bakura gets there. In other words horrid until I hear his car, but getting to see him makes everything worth it. We pulled into his usual spot, Malik and Marik already waiting. Okay when I say waiting I mean they are there with their tongues so far down each other's throats the world could explode and I doubt they would notice. I couldn't pass up this chance, so I put my finger in front of my lips as we climbed out letting Kura know not to say anything. He arched an eyebrow at me but kept quiet as I sneaked over to our boyfriends.

Bakura's POV:

I wondered what Ryou was up to, usually I yelled at the other two to let them know we were here. So crossing my arms over the roof of my car I watched as Ryou snuck over, they really had no clue. But they got one pretty quick when suddenly Ryou grabbed both their butts and squeezed… hard. I swear I never saw Malik jump like that! Marik even squeaked! I about dropped to the ground laughing.

"Oh, was that a private kiss?" Ryou could pull the most innocent looks, utterly unbelievable when you actually got to know him. Marik smirked before wrapping one arm around Ryou's waist and tightening his hold on Malik as he pulled them both against him.

"Not at all cutie, feel free to join in." With that said he captured Malik's lips again. Ryou hesitated about maybe a second before slowly leaning forward, the kiss turning into a three way that was so damn hot my pants were quickly getting tight. Watching them kiss as small glimpses of their tongues battled for dominance was too much. Watching was great and all but I am more the 'hands on' type. Walking over I moved in between Malik and Ryou, adding my tongue to the mix as the kiss moved between couples and the four of us combined. I know we gathered an audience, I mean how many times do most people see four hot guys sharing a group kiss like this, besides on porn. About the time our kiss broke, all our eyes glazed I heard something that broke my euphoria quickly, and left my blood boiling.

"Disgusting! I can't believe they would do that in public!" My eyes locked on the voice, Honda glaring straight at us, Anzu was watching Ryou, looked like she was about to cry. I suppose she realized he hadn't been kidding. Jou looked confused, but then that isn't odd, Yugi couldn't become much more red, he looked completely embarrassed.

"Honda! Please don't."

"Yug! Don't you see?! Its against nature, its disgusting! I mean if they are going to be freaks then they should at least do it behind closed doors!" Yami walked up to us at that point, his eyes looked really hurt as he locked gazes with Yugi, I think I knew what was going through his head. A realization, Yugi would have to choose him or his friends, and Yami didn't feel like he stood a chance. Judging from the look on Yugi's face he knew he would have to choose as well.

"Honda, I mean it. They have a right to be happy, no one can help who they love! Please don't do this, Ryou has always been so nice to you, the two of you got along just fine!"

"Yeah but that was before I knew he was a fag! I mean now I think about all those times he tagged along with us, its gross, he was probably checking out my ass the whole time!"

"Don't flatter yourself Honda."

"What?!" I was kind of shocked at Ryou as well.

"I said not to flatter yourself. I never once checked out you ass as you so eloquently put it, sorry but your just not my type."

"What the hell do you mean by that?!" Ryou actually sighed in frustration, kind of like trying to explain something to a slow child.

"I mean just what I said. You are not my type, you don't do a thing for me, not attracted to you in the slightest. Can I make it any simpler? How about not if you were the last person on earth, does that clear it up for you?!" Honda began to stalk up towards us, I cracked my knuckles just hoping for the chance to pound him some.

"What is wrong with me then?! Huh?! What could these three have that I don't?!" Ryou still looked unfazed and completely calm, something told me this wasn't new to him.

"Where should I start?! This could take awhile." I was trying so hard not to laugh but Honda's face was priceless!

"You… You little fag!"

"Is that really the best you can do? You need to learn new insults." Honda looked ready to swing and I was more than ready to take over, so was Marik, I think Ryou knew that all along, all he wanted was to try and get Honda to throw the first punch at him, sometimes he is so smart it scares me. Honda walking right into his trap, that is until the very familiar voice of our chemistry teacher rang out.

"Honda! Ryou! What is going on here?!" He looked between Ryou staring Honda straight in the eye and Honda with his fist raised. "Honda! To the office! Ryou, come with me." This was when Honda finally noticed that Yami hadn't taken his eyes off Yugi, or the hurt look in them.

"Don't even look at my friend like that! He isn't a fag!" Yami looked a very dangerous cross between hurt and pissed as hell, I wondered briefly how long Honda had to live. Yugi actually started crying before running off, followed closely by Anzu.

"HONDA! I mean NOW!" Finally he turned to leave with Marik, Yami and myself holding the promise of pain for him in our eyes. "Ryou?"

"Oh!, yes sir! Let me just grab my bag?" He nodded and I handed Ryou his bag giving him a quick kiss on his cheek while Malik squeezed his hand before he left following our teacher.

And that is where I am ending this for now! Don't worry! I will update very soon! I just got really bad writers block after the first page of writing this but thankfully trekkie-54 kicked me in the butt again and got me writing..L..as usual..please R&R!!
