Season 2; New beginning
Chapter.8: - there you are
The next morning had progressed leisurely in their free time. Nothing special happened after lunch at Burger World. After that, they were the only ones who only stopped at the arcade to redeem the remaining promotional coupons before they expired. But among themselves it remained secret what everyone took, it should be used as a later surprise. Tristan was the only one of them who gave his away for someone else. And since everyone knows who they're attracted to, it wasn't a surprise that it went to Shizuka. Which then Otogie did at the same time. It was drama, it only got to the point that, although they didn't want to at first, they found themselves in a contest as to who was more suitable and better of the two. Which took up almost all of the time. In the end, however, Joey had the last word and Shizuka accepted both plushies.
In the end, the others got theirs before they set off back to prepare for the coming day.
Because although they hadn't thought of it, Thursday morning came promptly.
At the early dawn everything went quite normally and quietly, even with the occasional harmless quarrel and the like. Otherwise always, that is, since they, the Yamis, were there, which had otherwise been hectic and violent, but this morning, on the other hand, it was very harmonious and quiet, everyone was engrossed in their own thoughts. In addition, they also had the reason for getting up early because they are expected very early before school starts, which some of them find difficult, but thanks to Malik, they managed it. There were protests from certain Yamis during the wake-up action, how certain was Malik the first to wake up and he woke up the others right after his first cup of coffee, which he personally liked. The first was his psychotic Yami Marik whom he had given a big smack with a pillow. Thanks he got a big yelp from Marik. Then it was the turn of the psycho Bakura, who he had done the same to, only remembered to use a pillow and a bucket full of water to pour it over him. Then came his Hikari Ryou and then Yugi and Yami. What apparently wasn't necessary, as he saw it, was waking up the pharaoh as he just about spotted him coming out the door as he left Ryou's room and was about to wander towards Yugi, so that wasn't necessary anymore.
Then, as always, they gathered downstairs in the kitchen and, as always, ate their favorite breakfast dish, which Malik prepared again because he was the first to wake up and can bridge the time between getting up and the others arriving. And as far as their new habit fared, this time Ryou and Yami had cleaned up the kitchen after eating while Malik tried to settle the two brawlers. Yugi for that had packed the supply during school time for everyone. And when they were done with what everyone was doing, they had already set off towards the school. The way there was as always its own thing and yet entertaining, that wasn't too long either, but only until they entered the gates, because then, as it is, they would split up and go into their assigned class, yes now they all go together, even though it's the directorate. But what awaits them there probably doesn't affect everyone and the others would have to go ahead anyway.
They were in front of the Directorate's door and wanted to press the button to enter. there are still relatively early were you want to play it safe and first knock if someone is there. In fact, they heard a reply telling them to come in. The door opened with a slight push and twist of the knob, revealing her also pregnant and the contents of the room. two medium sized rooms not too small and not too big perfect for a consulting room. It was initially big enough that at least a lot of people would fit in if I was even all six of them plus director and secretary if need be so in general it's a very large room perfect for storing bureaucratic papers which has plenty of cupboards why should. and all the storage spaces and drawers are gone, you shouldn't forget that. And yet she still has enough leg and freedom of movement.
There they stood and had a look at the room. When they were done staring and watching if the director, or at least the one who called them, said they had to come here. Funny enough, both of them happened to come out of the next room, one the director and the other the secretary. They didn't have enough time to think before the man spoke in front of them and they had to formally reply themselves, which for others meant pretending but with sarcasm to start things off, or rather to address the issue of "why". The two adults sat down in their respective places and the physically related older one of them motioned for them to sit down in their respective places that were left in front of the table so that when they got there they could start the conversation.
The director wanted to start talking, but before anything really came out, he stopped and looked at everyone in front of him, then to the right at the person next to him and then straight ahead again. That made him start doing something else. He spoke "Oh, it seems to me that my assistant made a transmission error. Because you know, the matter is complete because..." The headmaster was interrupted by the white-haired Yami, "Who's joking "snort" when they want to say that we are too much with only a certain proportion of us wanting to be there, I have no problem with that, I didn't want to be here anyway, that will even do me a favor, Ober Schlaumeier, I'll be gone then!" when Bakura said this he walked out the door followed by his Frenemi Marik and also went out to relieve their 'stress' at their new secret place at school.
Behind them for them unconsciously followed Ryou who felt bad about the situation and felt like apologizing to the headmaster on their behalf and running after his Yami to talk to him. The problem was that he didn't get very far, he could keep up a bit to get at least an idea of which direction he was going, but in the end he lost it.
He let out a deep sigh and went back down the path, not looking where he was going or landing. Which leads to him 'POFF' into someone and he falls on his buttocks.
Ryou slowly opened his eyelids and looked up at the one he had smashed into and his head didn't help as he rubbed the back part lightly. He pushed himself up off the floor and wanted to face him followed by an apology, well that would be the case if the other hadn't first reached out to offer his hand to help him up, which seemed to Ryou like wanting to apologize. Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves whether it's friendly, hate, negative, positive or whatever. Ryou gratefully accepted his outstretched hand, which he adorned with a smile. Ryou was helped up with a back or two that the other immediately began apologising. After that there was only the awkward silence and the worst part was the weird feeling that was floating in the air. Until one of them came up with the idea of breaking the ice with a little small talk and hopefully coming back from where or what they are planning.
The ice of the crushing silence was broken by lengthy conversations as they exchanged info about where they were going and then went there together.
" yoroshiku "
" Ah, yoroshikune!
" A ... ano, edo, watashi ga anata ni butsukatte sumimasen, soreha koide wa arimasendeshita, watashi wa tada isoide ite, watashi no michi ni saishin no chūi o haratte imasendeshita soshite..." Ryou stuttered to himself.
A chuckle escaped the other. "No problem. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going myself and, like you, was looking for someone during my destination. So please don't apologize!"
An affirmative and polite nod from the white-haired "Hai arigatou!
Confused, the other boy said, "Thank you? What are you thanking me for, I didn't say anything that needed it."
Ryou smiled "Iie, it doesn't matter so excuse me I have to go back!"
The boy also smiling "Ah, no problem, I have to go too wait a minute, where did you want to go... um... what was your name right away?"
"Ryou...I'm Ryou Bakura and I came from the governorate where I really need to go back where my friends are waiting for me too, sooo!"
"Good to know then, can I come with you? I would theoretically have to go there as well, only that I would probably get lost, oh and by the way, I'm Julian!"
"Hai, let's go!"
By the time Ryou joined the others, the others who stayed inside had already started the session despite this. It was to be expected that Rio would do it, after all he was one of the two caring ones in their team of six next to Yugi, the two would take care of every little ailment, whether it be mental or physical, they are always at the start. Malik is of the Lights then someone more concerned with the issues of equality: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Bakura and Marik make up for the hassle either way, but even when they need to, they allow for the damage to be rotated so that it stands out as a benefit. And Yami initially acts as a leader in the team, as always.
If you look at it closely, they didn't care if they listened or not, the fact is that they did it because of the modern era and they didn't give a damn about it. And another reason is their oh so bright lights they do it for.
The conversation trailed off after a few seconds and her attention shifted to the door behind them, the knock there connecting with theirs. the passer-by behind the door abruptly and hits the door open in a matter of seconds. It was a young man with a very stoic look and also appeared very neutral as if he didn't care to be here. He walked more towards her and lay against the wall with his arms and legs crossed, closing his eyes and beaming 'leave me alone or you'll regret it'.
This was a little confusing for them but when they awaited an answer from the director or something they just got a "wait and see". as surprising as it was, it soon faded when those outside heard another knock after only 10 minutes. This time the knocking was much softer than before, almost calmer and felt like a sammer. The door only opened when those outside got a sign that they were allowed to. The two standing outside opened the door and stepped out toward the center of the room.
The principal smiled slightly when the two boys appeared. His greeting was for the two new ones, one the one who had burst in a few minutes earlier and one of the other two boys. After that there weren't many clarifications between him and the two of them as one would have thought and it didn't feel right to be there either. The door of the meeting closed more and more and ended with the director leaving the room together with the secretary to give the other five places to get to know each other.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Ryou, still slightly confused, looked over at Yami noticing that his light is not present. He asked the darkness where the light is and got the simple answer; "Aibou just said he had to do something urgently, although his little dance almost looked like something related to the toilet!"
Ryou nodded at him "Mmm okay!"
Yami asked "And did you find the other two goofy like you wanted?!"
Ryou shook his head at a bit of a tempo. "No, but I stumbled onto Julian here halfway through and it kind of blew the rest of her away."
The boy who goes by the name Julian now looked a little nervous and appropriately scratched the back of his neck, his action extending to the back of his head. He laughed a little nervously; hehehehehe...
Ryou, standing next to him, gave him a mere smile that made him giggle with amusement. This didn't go unnoticed by Malik and couldn't help but giggle at the slightest guess. Yami himself, on the other hand, looked at her confused, not understanding what was so funny. His field of vision kept darting between the three but still remained ignorant. So he could only pursue it restrainedly by having to bring something in that stimulates the conversation. So did Yami, even though the question seemed pretty unconservative at the time.
"Em, so... maybe you like games or something like that, because we're actually going to a playhouse afterwards and-! Ow Malik!"
Malik stabbed Yami in the sides of his ribs to curb his interaction. "Pharaoh, don't ask every idiot walking around here and there if they love games, that gets weird after a while and besides, it doesn't always go down well. Not only that, but in the modern age it makes you feel like a...er ...well it just doesn't go over well please try to refrain from it... somehow!"
Yami snorted in response "I'm sorry for my oh so high interest in Tomb Keeper but you and the others aren't that much better at this than I am and besides -"
Malik jumped, half screaming, and warningly, "Don't you dare, Pharaoh!"
"- and besides, you should take a close look at your other half and teach him that as well, since the fact is that you both come from the same roots, so the pledoje shouldn't go on then and take it in the end! ?"
"Hey guys!" Ryou tries to interrupt the conversation but is still friendly.
slap
" PEOPLE!" Ryou tries again, just a little louder and more confident. He is also aware that if Malik is provoked enough, his barricades threaten to fall, which quickly leads to rapid physical interactions and he and Yugi, as well as Joey and Tristan, have already had their experiences with this. It can be very helpful at the right time, but in the wrong place and at the wrong time it will often end very ugly.
"WHAT!" came the thrown reply from Yami and Malik in a rush of screaming.
The boy listening to Julian got caught up in ignorance of current mannerisms. His head keeps scratching "Ahhh..."
"Ah I'm sorry about those two you have to know that this has become the norm in our group and -"
"Don't worry Ryou I'm familiar with that kind of kindness!" he said giggling and looked over at the other one who lingered in this room and this didn't go unnoticed for him.
"Don't worry Ryou I'm familiar with that kind of kindness!" he said giggling and looked over at the other one who lingered in this room and this didn't go unnoticed for him.
From the corner came a rapid snort followed by a snarl that sounds to your ears like someone's nerves are on edge. "Gah shut your mouth down Rushy!" narrowed his eyes in annoyance and moved a little, but not enough to break away from the wall.
"Eh nanda, what's going on?" Ryou asked into the room.
"Please leave that in front of the others, that's not nice Mort!"
The other snorted "Come on it's not like I'm into being here and if I'm going to be forced to be here then you shouldn't care because it was you who made it happen!" and gave him a brazen look at the end of his comment.
Yami and Malik stopped staring and also wondered about what happened to what happened "Eh?"
The boy, Julian, commented on the discomfort of the others and gave a little info, "Em, this is just about a ... em ... fallen, forgive him he is light ... tight as well as stubborn!" when making the statement, he waved his hands until the last part of the sentence, where he only looked at the other grimly.
Ryou smiled at him understandingly "A naruhodo, and besides that's no problem we have friends like that too!"
The one called Mort gave a crunchy "Hmmm, you really don't understand what's going on, huh, like everyone else!"
Sighing "Mah, it doesn't matter! It looks like we still have enough time with something like that later, yes no, but I would like to respond to your suggestion from before em...?" asked Julian.
"Yami" Yami said "And this is Ryou, who you probably already know, and Malik!"
"Yoroshikune Malik, yoroshikune Yami and once again please excuse my...mate here!"
At the same time, the three answer "We already know that!"
After less than 1 minute, laughter broke out at the expense of the others, but this successfully reforged the new bond that they will refield. So they took her on their after school tour to a game store where Yami had taken it and talked for a bit before they had to part. The promise made to show you the area was to be done the next day if there wasn't one thing on both sides!
"What do you think, do you think she made it this far?"
"Who knows!"
The next day, which was a Friday, rushed in, nothing too interesting had happened so far, which is why they wanted to meet up with their group at the school gates that afternoon after school ended, and that was when everything was settled. Not everyone was there at the canteen table, but a large part of their squad was present and the only thing that generally counted was that they could hang out together. For that day they had arranged to give the other two new arrivals from the previous day a tour as they sounded not from here! This promise was uttered too soon before they thought clearly to remember, however, as for Yami, he promised Yugi to meet up with the other newcomer at the same time. So how do you serve two different groups at the same time?! They couldn't help themselves and somehow had to come up with something, but what? Promising to one that they would be shown around to get to know each other and the area better whose idea was Ryou's and on the other hand the baby eyes spoke to express pity and sorrow to beg you to approach someone the other but not you likes what Yugi and Yami claims. And this very issue was discussed among them at the dinner table to see if anyone else had a solution. "So from a purely hypothetical point of view, if we were to split into two groups in order to be able to both interact at the same time, there would definitely have to be Ryou on one side. And what about Malik and Yami, they would have to be there then, too the only ones introduced to them, aren't they?" "I have to agree with Marik." "Okay okay but on the other hand Yami has to be there too because according to you little dwarf they said they should understand each other so he has to be there too." "Say thief how I don't exist twice so give me something productive for this stupid suggestion!" What started out as a simple conversation between Hikari quickly turned into a discussion and explanation contest for Yamis.
Before the eruption, it was actually normal during the day; The crowd was filled with laughter and fun as well as tumult and excitement but also feelings of boredom, hate, disinterest, indifference. All of this filled the halls of the school early in the morning, which was led and supported by the Cher scouts with appropriate sporting yelps in order to pimp up the school spirit - if it really existed here.
To end this, they had pulled back a bit, which led them to the back compartment of the compound. There wasn't much to look at in the backyard, it felt more like the school's garbage dump for unreused and unnecessary objects. One thing about it was the frequent stench of the leftovers that they always had to throw away. Otherwise there was a slightly older bank there. It wasn't special or anything, but the advantage was that nobody would come here voluntarily, which makes it the ideal place for you to get some rest without being disturbed in the meantime. Well that's where it first began, their curious and insightful conversation. At first it was just them Joey, Yugi, Ryou and Malik. They just don't leave it at that and picked up the topic of the previous day. Later, for whatever reason, the first of their other halves came. It was only Marik. Then it went on. Marik just stood there and watched the three of them with his eagle eyes like a cat and if you looked more closely you would almost think he was drooling. The next one joined them - it was Yami. The last one came in after the third hour, which was Bakura.
Then it slowly started to turn. During the rest of the time everything went very smoothly and comfortably only when the last minutes sounded to signal the break it slipped downhill, they had to go to the classroom because they had to pick up their bags and then found out that everyone had an assignment to work on their own for a hen the selected area was to be presented, which had to agree on a subject-related basis, but the stupid thing about it is that you only have 2 weeks if nothing comes between. However, since they are now also doing this in almost every other subject, it can lead to a few freaks out. But when they were eating, that wasn't the trigger, it was more about the stupidity of other people who happened to be in their group.
The problem; explain to someone who is not present what happened before, with a lot of luck, to join something productive, which just didn't happen. This meant that Yami had to sacrifice his sane nerves for what the other half of theirs didn't realize and try this on a former dirb and a former tomb keeper. One who only comes from hate, anger, violence and all other negativities but otherwise acts like a small child in the fundamental legal sense but can also think like an adult, especially when it comes to his protégé. And one who is stubborn, mean and devious is adorned with a designed arrogance which is accompanied by his bias. You have to say about Bakura that he is a little more behind the hard shell with really deep deep DEEP digging, you just have to be patient to see it. So Yami did this, although Malik would be the only other person able to do it, but, well, everyone has their problems and Malik's has something to do with it.
It started from the point where the first of them disappeared from the room of everyone present. Then he went on to mention that more and more of them did it first the thief and his Frenemi then Ryou and Yugi did it too. He then moved on to the part where Ryou reappeared but not alone, finally adding how their eventual conversation ended. And as far as the rest is concerned, it seems kind of superfluous at the moment. The first reaction that came was a meaningless and simple "Ah ha..." from Marik and from Bakura it was more of a "Whatever, I don't give a damn!" This was pretty much how he had imagined it and was the part that the two of them would let go of. Well at least one has commented positively "I'm happy for you!" Yugi smiled at this statement and couldn't help but feel happy. And so, unexpectedly, Malik helped his Yami like Ryou helped his, which only resulted in kind of similar reactions. Yugi spoke up at the end, trying to convince the two of them that whatever it was or what it was about had worked.
"So what if we all manage to be in the same place but aren't at the same time and without the others noticing!""And how do you imagine that, Yugi?""It's none of my business, but How do you imagine that little boy?!"" Simple, I'll use your suggestion of the Bakura group. Because what if we set the times and places so that both are close to each other and still arrange them in such a way that they don't meet. That would also mean that it would just be easier to switch sides even if it required tactical tricks and excuses.""Bah as if we couldn't just saw the pharaoh in two with a chainsaw for fun, wouldn't that be a lot easier and faster? "But not innovative!" "Shut up Marik!""Oh come on Hikari-Pretty!""NO! SIT!" What the last statement had to trigger that was an Anime drop of sweat formed on all the torso of the head.
With a deep sigh and an equally deep breath, he let out "Now, it goes like this: Ryou, Malik and of course Yami will meet at the two new boys' house as agreed..."
/ (AN: This slash would then mean that the event takes place in the same way as before, but at the same time but in a different place)
At the same time in another part of Dominos at a ziesta party being held there were two boys one who is 160 cm or 5'3 inches tall with light brunette hair whose face wears a smile and the other who is 165 cm or 5'5 inches tall with Sun blond hair pulling a more serious face than the other.
They stepped out of the event to make their way to their vehicle. They had an odd day followed by an odd encounter with other students they weren't prepared for. But to thank at least one of them has very good people knowledge.
"Boy, are they in a good mood today or what I'm having trouble keeping up with, what about you Ma? Ma?"
"Helllllllllllllllo Earth to Mark"
"Hm ...: what the hell do you want, you punk?!"
"Why was a bee stuck something in your eggs in such a grave mood and now you have to walk around with one or what?!"
"Hm, the main thing is that I don't own any like you, you shithead!"
"*pant* Tell me, what do you actually think of today?"
"What's with it? It just sucked like most other days!"
"I didn't mean that! What I meant is what do you think of the people we met at school!"
"*Pants* I was afraid you'd ask that. Well, if I'm going to be honest, they're too annoying for me. And if you're going to ask if these gang happened to meet the one we're looking for, forget it get the question out of your head quickly because my answer would be: definitely as I know it."
"Thanks, that's all I wanted to know."
With that, they left their drinks on the counter, left the appropriate money for the waiter and made off. Today, which is already tomorrow, comes what was promised, or rather it was offered to you, that you were offered a small tour of Domino. With luck, they might even get closer to their goal.

They had heard, discussed and evaluated Yugi's present idea. The present concept is discussed and then worked out at the discretion of everyone so that it suits everyone. Well the bait would come first and it was decided that it would be for the better to send someone over to clear the way for her. They had chosen the optimal one and the majority had voted for Yugi and since the second place came with a neck and neck race they still gave it as Marik.
First they checked if the fish was swimming in the pond... in fact, they were giving wings to its grain. This is the perfect moment. And so the two would be kicked off the table and hobbled to the other side of the canteen. Which of course Yugi doesn't mind since he's done it before but there was the problem that every pairing of eyes was on him and now...well Marik is next to him so half the attention is there. But this doesn't bother him, there should never be a reason for something like that and if it were uncomfortable for him, wouldn't Yami intervene as a Yami reflex? But even that doesn't bother him as as soon as they approached the sounds of everything dulled, leaving room for the faintest melody one would probably never hear otherwise. But there was what sounded like a song, a suffering, or even a cry for help. However, he had to say that the melodies seemed somehow familiar to him. The sentence I don't move, stand still and wait in silence told him something. He had heard it before. Wait how did that go again Jibun kara ugoku koto mo naku yes it was something like that. He knew that even the more he thinks about it, the clearer it becomes. He'd heard it from Ryou once when they were doing a draw event which happened to be about equality; Ying and yang. He liked that song but where does that come from? none of the groups are currently listening to asfald klang music or nobody is trying to play a sing scout in the bad sense, so where from?
There it is again but now I'm looking straight ahead and then next to me to Marik Apparently he hears that too, doesn't he? We sat down at her table, unnoticed by her, who looked away dreaming of a touch of nothing. But the melody is still there, louder now too. Apparently only I hear that and maybe even Marik? Yugi thought confused. But he loved the melody so he listened a bit more.
Yume miteru? Nani mo mitenai?
Kataru mo muda na jibun no kotoba
Kanashimu nante tsukareru dake yo
Nani mo kanjizu sugoseba ii no
(Träum ich einen Traum?
Sehe ich die Wirklichkeit?
Meine Worte helfen nicht,
Denn ich bin noch nicht bereit
Und die Traurigkeit in mir,
Erschöpft mich in dieser Zeit
Lieber würde ich nichts fühl,
Wäre von dem Leid befreit.)
/
They approached the area where Domino High stands, leisurely and slowly, but still deliberately and with a lot of backbone. Their approach was rewarded with sounds of surprise and familiarity, confirming their suspicions. It was still quite quiet but loud enough for her to determine the melody this time. Their ears perked up as they leaned in a little closer to hear the lyrics.
Since they knew that sound and could now say with certainty that it was here, the fact spoke about the fact that no one else knew or had anything about the soul tune. Because they probably would have noticed.
There are very close.
/
At the table the gang is seated at, all eyes were on the duo who had turned you away from them with their vigor a few minutes ago. They had watched her and noticed how Yugi faltered at first with his eyes wide away. But Dan calmed down after three tries. Then they watched as they joined without her noticing. Then when she felt the attention of the others there were probably greetings and a pleasant conversation that you could tell by their laughter that took place.
The bell rang and the group, which consisted of only 4 people, waited, but they still packed some side dishes and leftovers in the garbage or shoved them into their backpacks, which led back to Bakura's idea.
The other three also ended their fuss a little slower than they originally had to, got their things and marched to the exit of the canteen.
The trot felt and looked so provocative that onlookers might think it was just to annoy others. And that's exactly what Yami thought of executing that she's doing it because of him, for whatever reason, and Bakura who could imagine exactly why and how.
When they stood in front of the others judge it already bitter and tight now it's just tight. Then came the silence... it was awful... it was just unbearable. Luckily it didn't take too long for that to end.
A smile smeared her face as she averted her eyes, closing her mouth slightly and opening her mouth slightly to say "Well Kek, Florence, Yugi, I'll see you later and be naughty my dear Flockchen! And Kek... don't be like that but be better! See you later, ja ne!"
She walked past them and as she brushed past Yami she said "See you later then, oh how I'm looking forward to meeting Yugi's special friend, yeah well!" and then waved to everyone and left.
It was around noon when everyone lined up for the meeting at the park edge, or at least part of it. They agreed that Yugi should go pick up the new one together with Marik and Mokuba because, as she stated, she is still a stranger to the area and cannot assign and know all the places and buildings directly. There, when the two of them collected them and the four of them went to the agreed point, they tried to pretend to be matchmakers on the friendship level, but also in a slightly different way of interfering. Yugi, Mokuba, and the other two were one of the only ones who had dared to approach her and get something close to knowing enough about what is important to be able to bring Yami and the girl together even if it had happened differently than they thought. To be honest, the two of them weren't the only ones who thought about something like that, even Seto had made reservations about something like that and as far as Bakura and Marik were concerned...they didn't do anything like that. However, now even Seto is hairy, but only in the sense of as long as it makes Mokuba happy It could also have meant don't bother me as long as you don't disturb me at my work or whatever, if I say yes you can make yourself useful then city here to stand in my way!. And since Seto is Seto, he always insists on having someone near them to check if everything is going well. This was new to sSeto they knew there was something else behind it but they would find out later. Ryou and Malik instead moved the other two to the other agreed location which is only 2 kilometers away, so there's enough air to dive back and forth.
Yami who, at Yugi's request, was willing to hang out with the whole bun together with the new one and since he was just one of them all, he didn't do much but spent the wait in iron, silent silence to bridge the time. Since the others from the day before, as it was discussed, will only hang up later if nothing comes between them, he had more than enough to plan for other parts of the process. He kept giving himself new suggestions just because Yugi was talking to him about how important it would be for him if he tried to get to know her, even if it could be a little difficult. In the end it would depend on the game between them anyway and not what someone likes and what they don't like, that's irreparable.
It would look different if they knew what else was in store for them. The first part of this comes just two corners away.
The interaction didn't go very smoothly at first, but they had found a good way to do it differently so that more unity emerged.
Not everyone could handle it because the characteristics were too different from each other. It was a mystery to them how Yugi and Mokuba got along so well with her since there was practically no emotion or quality she displayed. Which broke it to the point where Ryou and Yami stood quite helpless. Malik would rather keep to himself as a special group since he felt more like understanding them in their behavior because wordless is just as good at expressing things as cheeky or as eyes reflect emotions better than showing them.
They had gone to many different places but there never seemed to be any interest. First they went for a walk in the park before they really kicked the benches to treat themselves to an ice cream. Ryou ordered Smurf ice cream, Mokuba ordered cookie ice cream, Yugi ordered vanilla ice cream, and Malik ordered chocolate ice cream. The Yamis, on the other hand, didn't want anything of the sort and the girl also had zero interest, which she confirmed with a mere shake of her head. At some point in between, the information came that Julian and the other boy named Mark still had something to do and would only have time for a short tour in the evening, but only with reservations. Well that made the thinking and acting of two games easier.
After that, everyone went to the second and last place, which is a little further away and is their all-too-popular arcade. Of course you can go somewhere else to have fun, but this one felt like your regular place.
As polite as Yami was, he invited everyone but that was on the house of Kaiba considering the Yamis don't have any money. After they had looked for a suitable place where everyone could fit, the question of the food came up: it was said softly and slightly shy, as well as in a very childlike voice. Everyone looked around and made big talk out of the coming tube, she spoke after 3 hours of hanging out together... "Well that took a while" thought Yami but also Mokuba. "She's finally daring, how beautiful" thought Yugi but also Mokuba.
An order for food went out to a supplier that they had ordered to the hall, they later paid for it. Yugi, Mokuba and Ryou took something hearty but also something normal like hamburgers with fries. Bakura, raw meat. Marik joined Malik and took a coffee only that he had ordered a black than like Malik who chose a can of Red Bull and beer and then both of them two cheeseburgers each. And Yami grabbed a latte macchiato with ramen. They waited for it to be ordered and the required address added through before everyone wanted to go to the games. The girl hung up and approached them a little uncertainly, but still at a distance. After a few words, they started playing through all the genres and types of games that were available to them. First an action game, there was a lot of screaming, violence, arguments and accusations the usual package you get when you play a shooter action game and then have a thief and toomb keeper on top. They quickly fell apart, leaving the two in one of their contests. And that's how it went the whole time, first it started, then the others came and joined in, then a Hikari can do it better and the Yami psychos go nuts and held a competition. And or even a competition among themselves because they both can't be good at the top place, but don't begrudge the others either. After a while it got busy with everyone and groups formed to go to different posts than others. It was like back and forth.
As the day drew to a close, they returned to their dining table to finish eating. Everyone ate but Yami managed to get a nod from the girl with the babble saying she agreed or at least he thought that meant it. It was weird that she didn't speak unless it was necessary otherwise she remained cold but did everything with it. That's why it didn't hurt to lure them out of the reserve to hope that it would bring more if only one was still present. Hence the question of a game party. Both got up after the end of the meal, everyone was smiling except her of course, she had an expression of frowns on her face but also one of smiles, it was hard to define. Both of their paths led to a new Duel Monster spin-off game. It's one of the newest games that came out all over the world and the meta score was between good and very good, but since the realize period was less than a month ago, there were good chances to face it without the other having an advantage.
...
The longer they played, the more the number of spectators became clearer. Both had good approaches but in the end Yami still won, although it had to be said that her playing partner showed fluid movement in her strategies without being excited, almost as if she knew every event personally and still had to combine them correctly. But the actions of the execution were still far from that. the game ended, crowd congratulated them for the good game and the ideal suspense which was long drawn out but still served the purpose. The crowd fizzled out around them once again, giving them their freedom. "Good fight" A nod was the answer Yami got but he slightly thought that something else had worked out, he understood something like "Um...thanks...um I mean you're welcome...I guess?!" but he wasn't sure either. but if so, then it doesn't matter that his little smile hasn't disappeared, as well as the funny feeling in his stomach that characterizes his sign of pride. This had reminded him of Yugi's earlier shyness, as that was exactly the case with him, although he hadn't been there in those years, he could well imagine it with his aibou. Just too good.
It was getting so late, so late that the sky was already turning purple at midnight, which meant that night would fall in about an hour. The two trotted over to the table, where they are the only ones at the moment, packing together only to hear footsteps coming towards them seconds later. The footsteps increasingly heard you and some even fell silent. Then the same thing began to happen next to them, the rustling of bags, the slurping of moans and the hectic movements that could be noticed from the air. as soon as the others finished, they all went to the door to step outside with their feet. However...
However, before they all wanted to step out the door and say goodbye to go home to hand over the day, a woman's voice, familiar to them, screeched from a certain direction. Unfortunately, they also had to turn around.
They were so close to saying goodbye but Tea had to show up...unfortunately...and knowing Tea gave them the choice of either A giving her one of her speeches or B wanting to get up. But to be honest they don't need both at the moment.
As expected, Tea had clung to Yami and snapped about things that weren't timely with her feminine stupidity. Tea was good when it came to friendship and solidarity, but her weakness is that she just can't keep her mouth shut and then keeps babbling even though this is completely unnecessary and by the time she stops Dan, no one has listened to her anymore. She was too clingy and good-natured with everything, as she thinks that only she has the right answer ready and knows best what is good for the other, that has too much of Mother Theresa.
She was only making things worse for herself as she practically signed off on all the claims that they were true.
Yami, stuck in a prison of endless tirade followed by a bear hug, allowed his own despairing gaze to turn to the others to indicate that he needed help. Bakura stayed cold and annoyed by her just didn't want to scurry away this time because that wouldn't work anyway because Ryou is holding the front door key in his hand. Marik, who has nothing left for that, remained faithfully standing next to his Hikari and waited. His own face looked uninterested but also announced with amusement. Malik, the Hikari Egyptian, just kept his cool and composed as he always does for his friends especially when they need help or are in trouble that Tea had qualified for a long time ago. Ryou hadn't bothered to hide it, but his former shyness came out and let the reflex take over where to hold on. This in turn was Bakura as it appeared. Bakura gave his Hikari an invisible, sincere, slight smile and gently squeezed his hand, which is dug into his black coat, as a sign that everything is fine. Bakura had just about learned that his light was also taking on traits of his old self again, just like Yugi and, in a way, Malik probably did. That knowledge made it sweet and savory at first, but he would never admit that he... liked it! Yugi, who in turn was standing next to Malik and from everyone who was towards the middle, crossed a few uncomfortable movements behind his back, which can also be seen well on his face. Yami couldn't really expect such good help from anyone as he saw it. He sighed deeply inwardly. He noticed how Tea continues to babble incessantly, which only makes his moaning grow. Before making his monotonous decision to put an end to it and do it the Yami way, since that's another part of their nature. He would open the gate to the shadow world, but his ever-growing need for it stopped when he saw the last one standing there. Her eyes were covered with a light shadowy mist that sprouted thanks to her hair covering half her face. The posture remained straight and somewhat cramped but steadfast. Her willingness was shown when the leather straps on her backpack strap tears and scratch marks beaded up in her ascent. "What?" He thought.
"Mata ka...!" But they all heard them very quietly, which in turn went unnoticed by Tea because of their chatter. "No, Yami kun kitte imasu ka...!" She said eagerly, wanting him to look at her a little more without paying attention to what was going on around her. "Um, hey Tea, I think that's enough for today don't you think we could just..." He was interrupted in his attempt to retreat by Tea, who attacked him even more.
"Ah you're right we can just put it off until tomorrow morning because we have a lot more time just the two of us alone with just you and me or what about tonight, ow, wouldn't that be romantic just you and me alone in a house With no one else, all alone and undisturbed Haaa how wonderful that would be... so what do you say Yami are you..." She couldn't get it out of her mouth, which surprised her when she felt like she was choking on air. She had seen this before and felt not on herself but that the air thickness seemed to be the same. She finally looked around and realized that it didn't come from anyone she knew, not from Yami, not from Yami Marik and not even from Yami Bakura. In contrast to them, it seemed somehow more threatening, but also threatening and dark in a different way, but she didn't know exactly what it was from. "Nah, sniff, what didn't you understand when I spoke to you before, when I said you should shut up your brats the damn thing!" She recognized the voice again, this voice made her uneasy flood through her back, but she didn't let it bother her either. "How dare you insult me like that you-!" Unconsciously, she left Yami and stepped forward slightly to the others' admiration and amazement at the scene before them. "You again, you stupid bitch, you really never know when enough is enough, do you?" The voice got a little louder, but it was between a whisper and a harsh tone. "Ha? What are you thinking what-!" she was interrupted again. "Didn't I just tell you recently to shut up your damn brats? Or did you forget that in your pathetic brain that only has ridiculous stuff embedded in it anyway, like the topics of friendship and world improvement? Someone, what makes me puke!" Her tone became colder and more serious towards the end. "Just for your information I can't do anything the way I am and all your words aren't exactly very nice and ladylike you know you can hurt people with stuff like that and...-" "I fuck this crap you disgust man! And now go away you scum I have some business to do with these guys and you don't give a damn little girl!"
After these harsh and yet so were words, Tea smacked away insultingly and the other girl went to Yami to inquire if he was fine and if the press machine was doing him any harm. He just shook his head this time, not knowing how to react because it felt like the reel had been turned after less than a minute.
At the end of the tirade, they finally moved forward to bring the day to an end, but as they stood at the last junction to wish each other good night, the action didn't fit into any man's picture. After Yugi asked if she liked it, she responded with "Hay, I kind of enjoyed it now... more or less thanks for the invite anyway. I was very pleased, but to answer the actual question you probably wanted to ask ...No, I don't, I reject him anyway, and especially this girl even more! Well, I have to go, we'll see each other again on Monday, yeah, no!"
They were all now aware that she is not an easy girl but incredibly interesting, especially as they realized. A person with many different sets of preferences that can change abruptly through action-bound interactions, not everyone can do that.

It was evening and two boys are on their way home from their search until they turned the corner to run into someone, right there three different pairs of eyes flew at each other before anything derogatory ensued.
