CHAPTER SIX - The reason he bullies?
"What's happened to him?"
"That asshole Yami punched him in the stomach for no reason."
"Hey that's Yugi! Yami is definitely getting kicked out of school this time!"
"C'mon guys, give me some room, I need to get him to the nurses office!"
"Need help?"
"Nah, he's light like a five year old, Yami's a really bastard for doing this!"
Yugi felt himself being hoisted up (Damsel in distress style) and a wind against his face, indicating someone was carrying him somewhere, very quickly.
Yami was going to get kicked out of school for this?
Yeah and good riddance to bad rubbish if I do say so myself, did you see what he did to your card?
No. NO!
"No!" Yugi echoed his thoughts weakly. "Put me down, let me go!"
"He's awake!" a female voice said.
"Hold on dude, it's not far to the nurses office." A male voice said.
"I don't want to go to the nurses office! There's nothing wrong with me! PUT ME DOWN!" Yugi complained in a shrill voice, struggling weakly.
"Okay, but I still think." the voice carrying him said and Yugi felt the ground under his feet. He immediately stumbled and strong arms caught him before he fell, his entire stomach and chest burnt like it was on fire and his tongue ached. He was also starting to get a headache.
"Dude, Yami's a flipping black belt, that punch he gave you could be serious. Please, let's take you to the nurse's office. Okay?"
Yugi finally felt the nausea leave him and blurry eyed he looked up to see a blond headed guy with deep brown eyes, a taller guy with the weirdest pointed hair style Yugi had ever seen and Tea from art class. They were all looking at him with worried expressions in their eyes. (AN: I thought it was about time I added the trio).
"I'm fine." Yugi said almost gagging from the effort it took to speak.
"What's your name -Yugi right?" The blond haired guy said. "Yami deserves getting his ass kicked out for this, he just used up his last chance."
WAHOO!
SHUT UP!!!
"Jou-San? Triston-San? Tea-San? What's going on here?" a stern voice asked from behind them. "Principal sir!!" All three of them said turning and straightening up. Yugi struggled to look casual but it was hard work.
God, would his stomach ever feel normal again?
"Yugi-san are you okay?" the principal asked looking down at Yugi who was weaving about on his feet.
"Fine sir." He said, trying to sound confident.
"WHA?" the blond haired guy roared. "YAMI KNOCKED OUT YOUR MEMORY OR SOEMTHING KID? SIR, YAMI JUST PUNCHED HIM IN THE GUT!!"
"Calm down Jou-san, what did Yami-san do?" The principal asked sternly.
"They were playing cards or something and then all of a sudden Yami got up and punched him right in the stomach. We were just on our way to the nurse's office, weren't we Yugi?" Jou said, puffing up like a pair of billows.
"Yami didn't do anything to me, I don't know what you're talking about." Yugi said quietly, averting his eyes from Jou's incredulous gaze.
"Yugi." Tea began but Yugi turned to the principal.
"Sir, I have work to finish. May I be excused?" he asked.
"Well, if you say Yami didn't do anything to you.yes you may go." The principal said, waving his hand in dismissal. "As for you Jou-san, I had Yami-san's solemn word that he would stop bullying, this is a serious accusation that the alleged victim doesn't back up. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"B.But.!" Jou sputtered, waving his hands around frantically. Tea and Triston were looking at Yugi suspiciously as he walked (limped) away. "Yami threatened him or something, I was there! I saw it!"
"It's your word against the alleged victim and Yami-san's. I know you were right in the past but."
The principal's voice faded away as Yugi painfully walked to the bathroom. Gasping for air and wondering why the pain hadn't faded yet; he stumbled into a stall and collapsed trying to stop himself from crying.
He couldn't help himself however, and after a minute the pain became so bad he gripped his chest and sobbed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yami had seen the whole thing, safely behind a locker he watched in amazement as Yugi denied his attack and then walked away, disappearing around a corridor.
When his initial anger had died away, Yami realised that he was in serious trouble. That punch had been a killer blow, if he hadn't checked his punch at the last minute he was sure Yugi would be dead (especially since Yugi was so - small) and he'd be expelled (not to mention heading to jail).
He was also feeling guilty. Yugi hadn't done anything really and he had lashed out, brutally.
He was trying to be YOUR friend, y'know that?
Shut up
Punching Yugi had been like punching a soft teddy bear. It hadn't even given him the usual kick he got from beating up on the younger kids before.
Coward
Shut up!
Why? So you can do it again? What's wrong with you? You gave the principal your word that you'd stop and you still keep on doing it!
I said SHUT UP
A coward, HELL, you're a LYING coward and you deserve not having any friends
Yami closed his eyes. Why did Yugi deny it?
You almost wish he had so you could be free of it all, don't you? So the truth would come out (EVERYTHING) and you could exist again without the constant nagging conscience, don't you?
Yes, God yes
But why did he deny it?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yugi washed his face slowly. Slowly because it hurt like hell to bend over, so as a result he had to stand straight and bring water slowly up to his face. It wasn't long before his shirt was sopping wet.
Groaning, he pulled up his shirt and gingerly touched the area that Yami had punched him. A purplish bruise was forming there but when Yugi touched it, it hurt more than any bruise ever should have.
Think something's broken?
He let the wet shirt slip back down and painfully edged his way out of the bathroom and into the corridor just as the end of lunch bell rang. Yami walked slowly behind him, unseen to Yugi. His brow was furrowed in a thoughtful expression as he contemplated why Yugi had denied his attack.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Yugi-san!" his homeroom teacher said cheerfully as Yugi turned on his corridor. "Could you do me a favour?"
All Yugi wanted to do was throw up from the pain but he nodded and weakly smiled at his teacher.
The teacher handed Yugi a stack of neatly folded papers. "Could you please hand out this test results to the Science students? I've got an emergency I need to look into. Thank you." She patted his shoulder heartily and was a bit surprised when Yugi drew back, wincing.
"Are you okay Yugi-san?" she asked, gently.
"Hai sensei." Yugi replied not looking at her.
"By the way why are you so wet?"
"Water cooler accident." Yugi mumbled.
The teacher looked at him suspiciously but shrugging hurried off down the corridor. "And ask the class representative to dismiss the students please." She called after her.
Sighing heavily, Yugi wended his way to his classroom and softly told the class that he was giving out their test papers and if they would mind answering when he called their names.
"Saiji-san?" he said a little louder, wincing from the pain.
"Hai!" Saiji said loudly, waving a hand from the corner of the room. Yugi miserably limped over. Why wouldn't the pain stop?
Saiji took the paper and grinned widely as he stared at the grade. He gave someone who was across the room the thumbs up. Ignoring his antics, Yugi moved on to the next person.
"Kikoro?" he asked.
"Hai!" a dark haired, dark eyed girl said, right in front of him. He weakly gave her the paper and stared down at the next.
You're kidding
"Y.Yami?" he stammered, looking up to where Yami usually sat.
"Hai." Yami's deep voice said. Turning, Yugi saw Yami stroll casually into the room, sharp eyes looking through his.
Yugi found himself shaking, he couldn't help it. He struggled to grip the paper and hand it to Yami but it slipped out of his grasp and dropped to the floor.
The paper lay open and Yugi managed to see the subject and the grade.
Chemistry
33%?
Yugi gaped at the grade, how had Yami done so badly? Before he could even expand on that thought, Yami had in one fluid movement, bent down and snatched up the paper, giving Yugi a murderous glare. Flushed with embarrassment, he pushed past Yugi and headed for his seat.
He saw your grade! What're you going to do? No one except your teacher knows you're doing badly, what if he talks?
Why would he talk?
Gee, to get back at you for punching him?
Yugi continued moving through the room, giving people their papers. Yami glared at him the entire time.
Yugi wasn't really focusing on the papers he was handing out. He was deep in thought on Yami's grade.
No one could afford to be failing so badly so close to exams! Didn't his teachers know?
Of course they know, they're marking him aren't they?
But it's so bad!
And he called ME an idiot, phfff!
Maybe this is what he's so angry about; maybe he's not doing so well in school and he's taking it out on everyone around him, but if he's doing badly why aren't his parents helping him?
Hold on there! Who says he's doing badly really? Maybe he just had a bad day or something, happens you know?
Maybe, but I need to know.
Glancing at Yami who was staring down at his paper, his hand against his forehead; Yugi finally finished giving out the papers and sat down. He needed to ask someone about this, find out if Yami really was doing badly. If his hunch was right he might just have found out the reason for Yami's aggressive and defensive nature.
And if you're right how is it going to change anything? What exactly can you do?
His side began throbbing again and he gripped his side.
A bruised stomach doesn't hurt this long, Yami broke something in your chest
I guessed as much
AND YOUR STILL PLANNING TO HELP HIM AREN'T YOU?! CAN YOUR SPELL THE WORD STUPID? S-T-U-P.
i.d. Yugi finished mentally. I am, I know
.
But who can tell me what I need to know about Yami?
to be continued
AN: whew! This took me three days to write, I had several choices about where the story could go and it took me forever to choose. Now the real story line stuff can start!
(grins)
I'm sorry if this chapter seemed a bit dry, it really is only a story filler. Chapter 7 or 8 is crucial so don't skip those no matter what! (Domo arigato!!)
Thank you all for the reviews so far, I don't know if 40 is a lot but it sure means a lot to me n_n.
p.s. I got a request for Ryuu and Bakura couple? I don't know if I can handle two romances at once (see how long it's taking me to just make Yami and Yugi FRIENDS?) but if enough people ask I'll try to make an effort.
