Chapter 3: Pranking
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
7.00 A.M., Yuugi's room
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Yuugi groaned and turned around.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
One eye opened, then closed again.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
"I'm up, cut it out already! Damn it, that stupid radio is even worse than Jii-chan..."
Yuugi sleepily made his way to the bathroom, trotted inside and promptly fell asleep on the carpet.
...Half an hour later...
"YUUUUUUUUUUUUGI! Get up right now!"
"Mmmm? What's going on Jii-chan? And why are you so high?" Confusion was written all over Yuugi's face, his eyes already drooping again. "Where's the fire?"
"Let me give you a bit of information: it's 7.30, and we're Monday today. Ring a bell?"
"Monday...7.30...SCHOOL!"
Suddenly wide awake, Yuugi bolted up and hurried down the stairs, then back up to grab his bagpack and his clothes.
"Teenagers..." Suguroku walked down the stairs and to the kitchen to find Yuugi dancing around the table trying to make his bagpack, dress himself and eat at once. Needless to say that didn't went well. 3 seconds later, Yuugi was lying on the floor with a sock and all the contents of his bagpack spilled on him.
"Stop laughing and help me. I'm going to be so late! Crap, and I have history with Momnaru. I'll get detention for sure..." Yuugi buried his head between his hands, then glared at his still laughing grandfather.
"Where are caring and sweet Jii-chans when you need them?" Yuugi muttered while putting on his clothes and checking his watch every 5 seconds.
Suguroku, who finally stopped laughing, grabbed a brown package that was lying on the counter.
"Here, I already made your lunch. Now, put you books back in your bagpack, get that sock out of your hair and leave."
"Thanks, Jii-chan. You're the best. See you later!" Yuugi ran off.
Teenagers and their moodswings...
Suguroku grabbed the broom and walked outside to sweep the floor. He could still see Yuugi who was racing down the streets in a desperate attempt to reach the school in time.
"I'd better given him a louder clock instead of that puzzle. Preferably one with a hammer..."
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
Ryou checked his watch, looking very worried.
"Malik, why is he so late? I mean, even he tries to get on time when we have class from Momnaru." Ryou stretched to be able to see out through the window. His soft brown eyes were filled with worry for his friend.
"Ryou, stop worrying so much. Yuugi knows what's good for his health." He playfully pulled at Ryou's snowwhite bangs. The Egyptian boy laughed, his own lavendel eyes filled with mirth. Yuugi was old enough to keep himself out of trouble, so why care? Besides, Ryou's hair was soft and fluffy... Malik nuzzled it. He was immensely enjoying the fact that Ryou, for once, wasn't yelling at him because he played with his hair.
Please be late Yuugi, please be very late.
"Malik, I'm no teddybear! Dye your own hair white." Ryou pulled his hair out off Malik's grip and shot him an angry glare.
Damn.
"Hi guys!" A sweaty and panting Yuugi ploffed in the bank next to Malik.
"Hey Yuugi! You sure broke your record "I'll be as late as I can" today. 5...4...3...2...1 and..."
Momnaru strode into the classroom, eyeing all the seats to look if there was this one soul who was to late that he could torture. Slightly dissapointed that everyone was present, he started his lesson.
"Welcome class! Please take your textbooks on page 187. Today, we're studying the religion of the Greeks! Now, the Greeks..."
Malik grinned, Yuugi just shrugged. He turned around when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
'Wanne go to the arcade after school with Malik and me?' he read from Ryou's lips.
'Sure!'
"Yuugi Motuo and Ryou Bakura! Care to explain what's so interesting about your conversation that you two aren't following the lesson?"
I swear, that guy has ears and eyes on his back... Yuugi rolled his eyes.
Meanwhile, Ryou started to stutter, obviously trying to come up with a good excuse, but he was clearly out of inspiration.
What's wrong with him? Normally he's the best at making up excuses...
Ryou acted strange. It started a month ago, and it was getting worse. He would have to discuss Ryou's behaviour with Malik.
"We were talking about what we are going to do after school, Sensei-chan." Yuugi looked straight in Monaru's eyes.
"I would appreciate it if you would do that in the pause. Now, sit down and follow the lesson. I won't warn you another time." He turned around to write something on the blackboard.
And he does it every time... Malik gave Yuugi a thumbs up and opened his textbook.
...Lunch...
"How come you were so late, Yuugi? I know that you like to make a spectacular entrance, but with Momnaru?" Ryou gestured to the teacher who just went to the toilets.
"I got this weird puzzle from my grandpa for my birthday, and I kinda forgot to sleep." He smiled sheepishly.
"You and puzzles...Somehow it surprises me you weren't busy with your knive-throwing. Oh, now that I remember it, did you get permission to go to that fencing club?"
Yuugi shook his head. "Nope. Jii-chan says it's too dangerous. He said that I could hurt myself. I don't underdstand him: I'm allowed to have a collection of the sharpest knives in Japan, but I can't go to a fence club. I do have permission to practise archery."
Ryou was about to say something when Malik interrupted.
"I knew I forgot something! Happy birthday Yuugi! Ryou, let's sing!"
Boy, he's fast. I've said that 3 minutes ago... Yuugi buried his head between his arms.
Before the poor albino-like boy could object, Malik had already stood up and grabbed Ryou up too.
"Dear schoolmates, I would like to make a very important announcement. We have a very important person with us today."
All the heads turned around, expecting to see some kind of star pop out of nowhere. When none of this came, all heads turned back to Malik, clearly looking for an explanation.
Yuugi groaned. He felt, no he knew where this was heading to.
"No no, my dear friends – Ryou snorted - he is here, standing right in front of you. Could Yuugi Muoto please stand up?"
"I hate you, Malik." Yuugi slowly stood up, plastered a fake smile on and waved to everybody in the room."Hello, dear friends. I am very pleased that you all showed up just to welcome me."
Ryou shot him a look that clearly said: 'Cut The Crap! I hate doing this kind of thing.' He obviously didn't like being in the center of attention. Yuugi grinned. 'Wait and see.'
'You wouldn't dare...'
'Wanne bet?'
"I'd like to thank my friend Malik, for making this announcement for me. I feel very flattered. Too bad he forgot my birthday yesterday... So I'd say: everybody may drink something on Malik's costs."
Yuugi ignored Malik's shocked look.
"Now, I wouldn't dare to forget my other good friend, Ryou. Come on, Ryou, don't be so shy. See Ryou here, as we all know, has a wonderful voice. I think, because he also forgot my birthday yesterday, he should sing us a song." He pulled Ryou back up.
"I hate you." It was no more then a whisper, but Yuugi heard it loud and clear.
"I love you too." He blew Ryou a kiss and winked.
"I would indeed love to sing for you all, but unfortunately, I forced my voice yesterday. I namely went to a concert, and I have sung a little too much. So, I can't sing solo."
Dissapointed murmurs were to be heard. It was widely know that Ryou had a wonderful voice, and everybody just loved to hear him sing. His last song dated from half a year ago, on the school concert.
"However, I am willing to sing a duet. And who's better to accompany me then the one and only Yuugi Muoto!"
Yuugi groaned. This was just NOT his day. It wasn't the fact that he couldn't sing (he could sing better than Malik) but he hated it. He stood up slowly and threw Ryou a glare.
"Love you!"
"Now you love me, yeah." Yuugi childishly stuck out his tongue at Ryou.
"Let's just get it over with."
Yuugi nodded.
"We shall sing 'Kibuo no kaneoto'. Sit back and enjoy!"
The entire school did just that. Some people even ran away to get chips or popcorn, Malik being one of them. Yuugi and Ryou sweatdropped.
Not literally...both thought.
...After school...
Malik still had a grin plastered on his face. It appeared after the song, and was now glued to his face. The reason? After the song, a lot of fangirls just came out of nowhere and crowded around the two singers, asking for an autograph or a picture. And that was the nice version.
"Malik, stop the grinning!"
"No!"
"It wasn't funny"
"Yes it was"
"You could at least have helped us."
"Why? It was so much fun!"
"...Fun? You weren't tramped by thousands of fangirls!"
"Maybe...but I still think it was fun...and there weren't thousands of schoolgirls...50 at the most..."
"I don't ... "
Ryou, who got sick of Malik's and Yuugi's constant bickering, wacked both on their head with his bagpack.
"Let's just forget it and go to the arcade. OK?"
"NO!" Yuugi and Malik screamed instantaneously, then looked at eachother surprised and started fighting again.
"I guess not then..." Ryou let himself fall back to get a bit of peace. Damn this headache...
"Hey Ry. Everything ok? You don't look so good. Can't get those two to stop bickering again?"
Ryou looked up suprised.
"Bakura! What are you doing here? You know I don't want my friends knowing of you and our relationship." He dragged Bakura in an alley.
"I missed you."
Bakura tilted Ryou's head up and slowly and tenderly kissed him on his lips. He set his hands on Ryou's temples and started to massage the headache away, then destroyed it with a bit of his magic. He let his hands fall back.
"Or am I not allowed to miss you?"
Ryou sighed and leaned back against Bakura.
"Of course you are allowed to miss me. I miss you too." He cuddled closer and allowed Bakura to put his arms around his waist.
He had met his almost reflection a couple of months ago, and 3 days after their first meet, Bakura had kissed him. Well, let's just say the feelings were mutual and they had a lot of fun after that. It was as if their love was destined to be. Wich it was, but Ryou only figured that out after a couple of weeks, when Bakura had given him a gift.
The gift was a strange necklace, or like Bakura called it, the 'Millennium Ring'. It was made from pure gold, in the shape of a cicle, with a strange triangular in the middle. The Eye of Horus was carved in the triangle. The 5 pointers attached to the circle were what one could call the finishing touch. Ryou had liked it from the first the moment.
Bakura had explained to him that he was a reincarnated version of an old tomb robber. If the Ring recognised the true partner of Bakura, the one destined to be with him,he would receive his memories of Ancient Egypt. The moment Ryou had touched the Ring, his memories flooded back to him. And with that also came a bunch of strange powers. Bakura could summon REAL Duel Monsters, teleport, heal and a couple of other things.
But the memories came with a price. Bakura had to fight his old him, the Ancient Tomb Robber, who was a reckless brute. He even got Ryou scared of him. The poor teen had ran off, thinking it was the real Bakura who abused him. Bakura however didn't want to give up his Ryou, and fought hard to get him back. When he finally proved to Ryou that it hadn't been him who abused him, Ryou was more then willing to return.
Now they were starting over, and things were looking good.
"I have to get going. They'll be wondering where I am." Ryou regretfully pulled away.
"When do you plan to tell them about me?" Bakura's hard dark brown eyes bore into Ryou's soft ones.
"Honestly, Bakura, I just don't know."
"If they are true friends, they should accept me. They did accept the fact that you are gay without a problem."
"Well yes,but they are both gay too. They just don't have a 3000-year old boyfriend like I have." Ryou rubbed his sweater nervously, as if something hung there.
Bakura muttered something under his breath and, in a flash of light, the Millennium Ring appeared. Ryou smiled softly and stroked it tenderly.
"Keep it with you, it will give you support."
"Thanks Kura."
Bakura frowned at Ryou's sad look.
"Ryou? Do what you think that is the right thing to do. But you'll have to tell them one day. And if I may give my opinion, I think they'll accept it sooner and easier then you think they'll do it. Besides, if I am right, one of your friends will get a surprise very soon."
Bakura gave Ryou one last kiss and dissapeared.
"Maybe..." Ryou sighed, tucked the Ring under his sweater and ran off, hoping to catch on with Yuugi and Malik.
I wonder what that surprise is he was talking about?
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAV
"It wasn't funny"
"It was."
"Was not"
"Yuugi, just accept the fact that it was funny."
Said boy grinned.
"Then why don't you accept the fact it was funny when Isis emptied the trash can over your head because you didn't want to empty it?"
"That's something entirely different."
"It's just the same. You didn't want to accept, and I don't want to either."
"...Let's call it even. By the way, where's Ryou?"
"Glad to see you guys still know me. Let's enter now, shall we?" Ryou had found the two at the entrance of the arcade, still bickering and blocking the entrance. He had been waiting for ten more minutes. Count with that the fact that he had been with Bakura for 20 minutes...
All grown up...suuure.
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
After Yuugi had beaten him at all the games they had played, Malik decided to give up. "Alright Yuugi, you win."
"I thought you were never going to admit it. Glad you finally saw you're no match for me."
"Nobody's a match for you. You defeat everybody with your eyes closed. Bit, I have to admit, it pays to be friends with the Game King."
Since Yuugi won The Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, he and his friends could play for free in the arcade, in exchange for his autographe and a photo for a poster. Yuugi accepted happily, and now the three were frequent visitors in the arcade.
"What's Ryou doing?"
"He's playing Dance Dance Revolution with a girl named Anzu. She's pretty good, Ryou had a hard time defeating her the last time."
"Now that he's not here –Yuugi signaled to Malik to come closer- don't you think he's acting...different?" Malik looked at Yuugi with a pensitive look.
"I've noticed some change in his behaviour, but it didn't seem very negative. He just seems clumsier. And he's also more secretive. What do you think is going on?"
"I don't have a clue. I'm just worried about him. Maybe someone started bullying him again?"
Both Yuugi and Ryou had been bullied by some elder boys, but Malik helped them out by knocking all the bullies in the hospital. They were best friends since then.
Malik shook his head. "Can't be that, I check in on them regularely. They are good."
"What could it be then? Maybe..."
A lightbulb appeared above both heads, just the moment Ryou arrived.
Malik and Yuugi grinned. This is going to be fun!
"Did you beat her, Ryou?" Yuugi's voice was purely innocent.
Ryou didn't trust it but answered none the less. "Yes, she tripped on the last level. We promised each other a rematch next week. Eum, guys, what's going on?"
Malik was studying Ryou intensively, and Yuugi was just plain staring at Ryou's face.
"You are sweaty, Ryou, why don't you take off your sweater?"
"No, no need to. If I take it off, I'll get cold. So I'll leave it on.
Malik and Yuugi exchanged looks, then jumped up and started to pull at Ryou's sweater. Ryou desperately tried to get away from them, but to no avail. Malik gave one last tug on the sweater and pulled it off. The Ring became visible.
"Ooooow, Ryou, who gave that to you? Your boyfriend?" Malik's face was one tease, while Ryou's was trying to compete with a tomato.
"Yuugi, what do...Yuugi? Yuugi!"
But Yuugi didn't hear a thing. Nor did he feel Malik shaking him to snap him out of his trance, or Ryou's more gentle tugs. The only thing he saw was the Eye of Horus on the Ring.
That Eye...
-/Soon, aibou, soon./-
What the...
In the gameshop, the partly completed puzzle glowed, while the ghostly figure standing next to it dissapeared.

This was it, the thirth chapter of Obsession. I hope it wasn't too bad, I wrote it when I had to study for my exams. But, I was kinda bored, and if I can get a computer on my hands then...
I'd like to thank Hoppy-san2345 and Atemu Yugi lover34for reviewing, thank you very much! Here are cookies and Ryou plushies!
I know that Yuugi, Ryou, Bakuraand Malik are OOC, but I like to give them a backbone. I mean, I doubt even Yuugi is as innocent that he doesn't know what sex is...And I like a sweet Bakura...
The fourth chapter is already half written and it should be out round christmas. If it's not out then: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
R&R? Please?
