Chapter 3

Sneaking out of school wasn't difficult, besides the 6th formers were allowed out at break and lunch, which pleased the line of shops and fast food places immensely. And of course with all the hype of valentines received more than one of the shops were filled with cards, flowers and other gifts.

Yami entered the newsagent and came to the alcove which from a distance seemed a huge pink frilly blur. Rows of cards and boxes lined the shelves as well as teddies and other such glittery objects. But there were what he was looking for, roses, but there were several of different colours. Red, pink, white, yellow, orange, purple. Yami was seriously confused, there were also fake ones made from felt and feathers, in extra colours such as blue, and… black?

Bit morbid aren't they? But Yami quickly replaced his attention to decide which to choose.

"Sugar, sugar, I need sugar!" Yami's train of thought was interrupted by a girl with an apparent urge for sugar, yet thought nothing of it

Her friend eyed the roses, "I want a red rose, get me a rose!"

"The red ones are pretty yes, but the white is the best, the essence of innocence and purity"

That got his attention.

The colours have meanings? "Excuse me, did you say the white rose represented purity?" Just like Yugi.

The girl was a little freaked out to be spoken to by the fit and sexy goth punk lad drools but never the less "Yeah, the white is purity, the red is passion and romance, pink is, erm, like happiness and love. The purple represents enchantment, like love at first sight, where as the yellow rose represents infidelity, so if you're planning of giving a rose to someone I wouldn't get them that one."

Needless to say Yami stared at her for a while "How do you know all this?" This girl is beyond weird!

"I have a habit of retaining seemingly useless information, plus I can use it for creative purposes, like in my art"

"Right" weirdo alert "Well thank you"

"You're welcome" the girl went to pay for her Dr Pepper and rainbow drops.

Purity eh?

Yami plucked the rose from the basket and admired it, the petals were soft to the touch and not one blemish stained their glory. Perfect.

Just then something caught his eyes, a ribbon sparkled at him in two tone light well I need to get a ribbon, this one was perfect, the crimson morphed into the purple giving off a beautiful effect when caught in the light.

Making his purchase Yami rushed back into school and to his locker, he could see the gang down the hallway, he couldn't let them see the rose.

Yami quickly placed the rose in his locker, he could 'give' it to Yugi later, right now he had to get to class, as well as make up an excuse for why he wasn't around at break. Joyous!

---------------After several boring lessons and more spacing out of Yami as he visits crazy town AKA Some time later------------------

"Did you get it?" Ryou sat next to Yami on the grass, while Yugi was distracted in a duel with Jou, though they kept their conversation to whispers.

"Yeah and nice white one, and I got a card I could write on. The only thing is, what am I supposed to write?"

"Well, introduce yourself, so make it clear that you like him, and I guess you could say about why you chose the rose. Actually why did you choose a white one? Most people go for red."

"Because it fits him so well"

Okayyyyyyyy Ryou decided not to tell Yami of his sudden freaky vibe. "So…How are you going to sign it?"

"I thought it was going to be secret, why would I write my name?"

"You need an alias, so he doesn't know that it was you, a fake name. Secret admirer is way to cliché plus the name adds mystery yet communication, it reveals something about you yet it doesn't show who you are."

"Erm, shows but doesn't reveal. Game King? Shadow?"

"You really are an idiot aren't you? They are quite obvious" Ryou couldn't help but point fun at him

"Well how about dark prince?" Yami pointed an accusing finger at Ryou "Hey! You insulted me"

"And you just proved my point"

------Bit later------

Yami had left the gang with the excuse of going to the toilets, but once out of sight returned to his locker to retrieve the rose. Yami made his way to his form room, and wrote what he had to on the card, then placing it within the silky ribbon and placing it in Yugi's desk.

Please Ra, let this go alright

The ancient pharaoh left with a worried smile on his face as he went to return to Yugi before class.

Yet unbeknownst to him a dark shadow watched him, he had not seen it all, just Yami placing something in Yugi's desk.

Curiosity overtook him as he slowly walked over to Yugi's desk, on high alert for any intruders, lunch would soon be over and the swarm of students would re-enter; however grudgingly it may be.

Deft hands opened the top of Yugi's desk, revealing a pure white rose tied in a ribbon with a small white card tucked inside it.

What the? Yami? Rose? Yugi's desk? Holly Ra what's going on.

"Bakura!!"

The vicious thief turned sharply, great he'd been caught snooping in Yugi's desk I'm in trouble!

"What were you doing in my desk? What is that" all eyes were focused on the white rose clutched in Bakura's hand

Oh great now people are gonna think I have a crush on the pharaohs' midget!

Bakura shot his gaze onto Yami whose eyes seemed to be screaming 'Oh shit! oh shit! oh shit!'

It suddenly became clear what was going on, it appeared that the almightily pharaoh has a little chrush on his hikari

Time to pin it on Yami

Bakura smiled evilly this was too perfect "Well I saw someone put something in little Yugi's desk, so I was curious I had to see what it is"

Yami stood behind Yugi his face contorted in horror if Yugi found out the rose was from him, everything would be ruined. Please oh please don't tell

Bakura pulled the white rose into full view "It seems like little Yugi has himself a secret admirer, I wonder who it could be, hmmmm?"

Yami's eyes pleaded with him not to tell, should I keep the pharaohs secret? Nah!!!! This is so much fun

"Did you see who did it Bakura?" in spite of himself Yugi couldn't help but be curious, but also confused someone had given him a rose, it didn't seem to fit. "Maybe they put it in the wrong desk, it can't be for me"

That has to be it, nobody would get me a rose. A slight sigh escaped Yugi's lips.

Yami couldn't stand to see Yugi so dishearted but he couldn't tell him he gave it him.

"No its definitely for you" Bakura made a big deal of clearing his throat "My dear Yugi, see it says Yugi, that means you, Yugi Motou, You, Yu-Gi"

"Get on with it!!!"

"Hey the guy was confused! My dear Yugi. Not only does this rose represent purity and innocence but it is also flawlessly beautiful. Just like you. Kurenai" Bakura sniffed and wiped away fake tears from his eyes and blew his nose on his invisible handkerchief "My my, isn't that sweet! I wonder who this Kurenai person could be? Wouldn't you all agree? Hmm what do you think, Yami?"

Bakura once again let out a terrifically evil smile, public humiliation for the Pharaoh, yet his eyes turned to see Ryou who was shaking his head extremely slowly. Dam it! Ryou seeing that Bakura was looking at him mouthed the word "No"

/Bakura don't you dare tell/

//Ah, you ruin my fun!//

/I don't care. I'm in on this, and I say don't reveal that it was Yami who gave Yugi that rose/

//Oh yeah? What you gonna do if I just happened to let it slip//

/You'll be sleeping on the couch for a month!/

Much to the surprise of the room Bakura's smile instantly vanished, and was replaced by a low growl. Bakura gathered the rose and the note and pushed them roughly into Yugi hands, and walked out the room. Pausing once as he came across a smirking Ryou.

//Happy?//

/Plenty/
