The Darkest Light
Chapter 7
Grounded
Yugi stood next to his brother in gym class, the two of them were currently wondering why Bakura was there but Yami wasn't. "Oh c'mon" Ryou groaned, grabbing Yugi's hand and pulling him towards Bakura. "Bakura" he called once they got close enough.
"Hm? Oh, hey Ryou" Bakura greeted.
"Where's Yami at? Is he okay?"
"Yeah, he's fine. I dunno where he is. We left home this morning but a police officer stopped Yami on the porch. The two of them headed back inside and Yami told me to head to school, he'd catch up. But he hasn't shown up yet."
"What do you think happened?"
"I don't honestly know. But at least Yami is okay after yesterday."
"Yeah. But I'm really curious to know where he is" Yugi said.
"Me too."
Yugi watched as Bakura entered the lunch room, he was still alone. Yami was nowhere in sight, and the school day was almost over with. They had a couple hours left and that was it. Once the albino got halfway across the lunch room Yugi watched Yami come running in. "'Kura!"
"Ryou c'mon" Yugi whispered, getting up and jogging over to Yami and Bakura with Ryou on his heels. "Yami where were you?"
"Well, Ushio's parents pressed charges on me for breaking his hand."
"WHAT?!" The three of them yelled.
Yami looked around the lunch room, chuckling sheepishly with a sweatdrop on the side of his head. He quickly grabbed the three of them and dragged them out into an empty hallway. "Way to earn everyone's attention" he said, his voice low as he narrowed his eyes.
"Sorry" the three apologized.
"Anyway, we ended up going to court this morning. Mom filed charges right back, and it got pretty ugly in the court room."
"So what happened?"
"Well, long story short, I'm on house arrest" Yami sighed in defeat, lifting his pant leg enough to show off his pretty new 'anklet.'
"What the fuck did Ushio get out of it?" Bakura growled.
"Well, since this wasn't Ushio's first offense, he's on probation" Yami chuckled. "If he breaks another rule, that dumb bastard is off to jail." Yami noticed the other three, waving their hands frantically, signaling for Yami to shut up, but he had still continued his comment. "He's right behind me isn't he?"
The other three nodded, sweatdrops on their foreheads. Yami turned and smiled sheepishly "H-Hey Ushio. What's up?"
Ushio grabbed Yami by the throat, lifting him in the air "If I wasn't already on probation, I'd pound you to a pulp" Ushio growled before dropping Yami and walking away.
"Good talk" Yami said, clicking his tongue twice and giving Ushio a thumbs up.
Yugi giggled quietly at Yami, shaking his head "And you say I'm a magnet for trouble."
"Yeah" Yami chuckled, reaching for the hand that the smaller one held out. Once Yami's right hand touched Yugi's the two quickly let go, a spark being caught between them that surprised the two of them. "Ah!" Yami yelped, pulling his hand away. "What was that?"*
"I dunno. But that was scary" Yugi said, inspecting his hand.
"Did it hurt you?"
"No, just scared me."
"Well, at least it didn't hurt you" Yami sighed, grabbing Bakura's arm and standing up.
"So what'd mom say about the whole ordeal?" Bakura asked as Yami stood.
"Well, to add to the house arrest, I'm also grounded. I'm not allowed to go anywhere but straight to school and straight home. I have to do all the chores in the house for the next month too."
"How long are you on house arrest?"
"Two months."
"That's so stupid."
"I know" Yami sighed. "So anyway, what'd I miss?"
"We got homework in math, we have to read a story in english, our French teacher said that we need to study for a test tomorrow, econ was pretty boring. We still have to go to science and then art will finish out the day" Bakura reported.
"Damn it" Yami groaned. "I should've just came here anyway."
"What would've happened if you did that?"
"I would've been escorted out in handcuffs." Bakura looked at his brother as if he were the biggest idiot in the history of idiots. "Oh! I got yelled at too."
"For what?"
"The cop handcuffed me and I said 'usually people use those for kinky things.' And he said 'do you think this is a joke?' and I said 'I can make it one if you want me to be funny.'"
Bakura facepalmed "Oh my Ra, you didn't."
"He hit me in the head and told me to shut up."
Yugi looked at Yami with an unreadable expression "Please tell me you are not that desperate to be beat on" he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I thought it was funny. Mom yelled at me too."
"You're an idiot" Bakura said.
"It's like I was hungry for trouble this morning. Which is weird. I'm usually the good one."
"Tell me about it."
"Maybe I'm just being crazy today" Yami chuckled, the four of them walking down the hallway. "So, where are you two headed?" Yami asked after a moment of silence between the four of them.
"We have history with Mr. Toki" Ryou groaned.
"Boring isn't he?" Bakura chuckled.
"He talks alot. But at least he doesn't give us as much homework as last year's teacher" Yugi said.
"Always pointing out the positives aren't you?" Yami teased, raising a brow as he looked at him.
"Of course" Yugi replied cheerfully.
Yami chuckled as he walked along beside Yugi, the two of them stopping at Yugi's locker first before heading to Yami's. "Pretty boring day huh?" Yami asked.
"Yeah kinda. It's been uneventful that's for sure."
"Hey Marik" Yami chuckled, grabbing the hand of a boy walking by with messy platinum blonde hair.
"Sup Sennen" Marik chuckled, leaning in to one arm hug Yami. "Who's the twerp?"
"Oh, this is Yugi. Yugi this is my best bud Marik and his boyfriend Malik."
"Hi, nice to meet you" Yugi greeted.
"Is he your...?" Marik asked, trailing off.
"Huh? Oh! No. We're friends" Yami chuckled sheepishly.
Yugi turned a bright red when he realized what Marik was asking. Not that he would mind, but it was still embarrassing. He shook his head, clearing his thoughts as he turned back to the conversation. "So, I'll see you in French?" Yami asked.
"Oui" Marik chuckled, walking away while holding Malik's hand.
"So anyway" Yami said, turning back towards Yugi.
"How long have you known him?" Yugi asked, tilting his head cutely.
"Well, we're in the same grade, and we've had the same classes since elementary. We met in kindergarten when we were doing arts and crafts. Back then we hated each other. We'd always fight, I ended up cutting his hair one day and gluing the hair I cut off around his body. I put it on his arms, his face, and I even glued some back in his hair but in a different spot than before. Best arts and crafts day ever" Yami chuckled. "But he thought that it was cool so we became friends over it. Kinda silly right?"
"I'll say" Yugi chuckled. "Hey, I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Why didn't you sit with us that one day? We invited you."
"Because not everyone was as welcoming as you guys."
Yugi raised a brow but it didn't take long to figure out who he was talking about. "You mean Anzu?" He deadpanned.
"Yeah. She hates my guts. She wanted to go out with me freshman year, but I turned her down. Since then she's hated me and my brother. Only because Bakura told her to quit harrassing me over the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing. It was getting on his nerves."
"Well" Yugi said, blushing "Who cares what she thinks? I-I.. like.. you. So, why don't you and your brother sit with me and my brother?"
Yami chuckled softly, opening his locker and rummaging through his things. "The sweet and innocent Yugi Motou asking the big bully Yami Sennen to join him for lunch tomorrow? Well I'm flattered. I'll see, if I don't end up with detention tomorrow. I like to serve that during lunch period, then I don't have to stay after."
"Well, you better be there tomorrow" Yugi teased "Or I'll beat you up."
"Oh yeah?" Yami chuckled, pulling back out of his locker and raising a brow at Yugi. "Then I guess I better show up for lunch. I don't wanna get beat up again. You'll probably give me worse than a concussion."
"I will" Yugi chuckled, finding it hard not to tease Yami back.
"Alright. I'll be there, if I can find my way there. But just be warned, if Anzu says anything to me, I'm liable to snap."
"Relax, I'll handle her."
"Good. Thank you. We should get to class, we only have a few minutes left until the bell."
Yugi looked up at the clock and saw that Yami was right. "Okay. Well, I'll see you... after school?"
"Yeah. I'll wait for ya outside."
"Okay" Yugi said, waving as he walked away.
* Wanted to explain, because I'm sure you're all like 'well they held hands at the park, what's the difference now?' The difference is that their right hands touched each others. At the park it was always left in right, but never right in right. The right hands are the hands that hold their symbols, so when they touched each other, it created a spark. Also, in chapter 4 Yami grabbed Yugi's forearm, not his hand.*
Me: Alright, there's the end of that :) Hope you all enjoyed! ^w^ Until next time everyone! *waves* Goodbye!
