A/N: Hey! Back again! I'm amazed by how many people actually like my fic! And, just a reminder, those first 5 people that reviewed get to suggest a scene to add on in later chapters. They don't necissarily have to be fluffy or romantic, it could be something funny too (or angty, whatever floats your boat. thats really fun to say btw lol). So just email or pm me with your idea, and I'll try to work it in. I think I have my email visible on my profile, but I'm new here (obviously) so bear with me? And now I'd just like to thank some of the people that reviewed and added me to their Story Alerts/Fav Story/Fav Author:
Yami Yugi:Thanks again so much! Not only for being my first reviewer, but for also adding me to your alerts. It's an honor!
Phantomworks: Thank you for your lovely review. Yes, I plan to make this story different, but like I said, I need character development XD
yugixyamiyaoilover: Thanks for reviewing AND adding me to your alerts! And, if all goes right, Yuugi will definately have a VERY good friend in... oh maybe 1-2 more chapters?
.dragona: Thank you for reviewing, and FAVORITING MY STORY! I'm so honored!
Seithr-Kairy: You favorited my story too! YAY!
PhantomBrat: Adding my story to your alerts too! Thank you!
alice's sister: Favorite story AND author! This all just too much! *faints*
I also got an Anymous review (you know who you are), and if you're still reading, I'd like to say that, Yes I will base a lot of this on parts of the show, but its only so I can keep the character more or less... in character? Hahah. I'm very happy that you might overlook that. Oh, and you're nowhere NEAR stalkerish or annoying. Trust me *looks towards Hikaris off playing video games* you're nothing compared to THAT. And, since you're the 5th reviewer, please see if you could email me your suggestion.
To the Fic!
Ookami: Shiro... forgot it again...
Me: Forgot what?
Haku: Are we really doing this again? THE DISCLAIMER!
Me: Oooooohhhh! Yeah, no. I don't like saying it... it breaks my heart. So I'll just force the next poor sap that happens to walk by!
Ryou: *Walks out from the closet door*
Ookami: Conveniant, yet creepy...
Me: *Drools* Who cares? Oh Ryou darling!
Ryou: *looks at Shiro... AND RUNS SCREAMING* BAKURA! HELP ME!
Me: *chases*
Haku: well there's an accident just WAITING to happen... *sigh* I'll just say it.
Disclaimer: We here in the mind of a teenager girl do not own Yugioh! Kazuki Takahasi does... however, if I ever get lose I WILL pry the certificate of ownership from his cold dea-
Ookami: HAKU!
Haku: what?
Ookami: don't say that stuff! You'll end up getting caught!
Haku: true... ok. POINT IS WE DON'T OWN YUGIOH!
TO THE FIC!

Last time on DNO...
"And Yuugi proceeded to tell Anzu about the curse, and how the person who solved it would be granted one wish, and the power of darkness. "Wow! Sounds really exciting Yuugi!" exclaimed Anzu after hearing the story. "Can I ask you a question though, Yuugi?" after nodding his head, Anzu continued. "What would you wish for if you ever finished that puzzle?" Blushing furiously and shaking his head, Yuugi said "Gomen Anzu, but that's a secret!"
Unannounced to the two of them, Jounochi and Honda had also been listening in..."
'So that shrimp thinks he can get anything he wants in life by just wishing for them? Oh, I'll teach him, I'll make him man up if its the last thing I do!' Those were the thoughts going around under Jounochi's messy mop of blond hair. Turning to the brunet with weird hair standing next to him, he says "Let's go have some fun teaching him a lesson."
"No way man, Masaki's in there! We can't go messing with Yuugi 'till she's at least outta the room! Besides, I heard Miho-chan hasn't had lunch yet, so I'm going to go buy her some. Ja ne!" And with that, Jounouchi watched his friend run off, chasing after dreams of love. Just as he was about to leave and follow him though, Anzu started heading for the other door.
'Hehehe! Here's my chance!' he snickered internally at his great luck. Walking into the classroom slowly and quietly so as not to be detected, he was steadily making his way toward the small boy. Then, he heard soft whispering coming from his target. As he got closer though, the words became clearer... "I really hope Jichan won't get mad that I have this. How did it even get in my bag anyways? It really is beautiful though... so mysterious, alluring... almost... hypnotizing..."
By this time, Jounochi had come close enough to see what Yuugi was doing. He stood, completely unnoticed, watching. He silently observed Yuugi's actions as he spoke. His hand seemed to be moving closer to the box in front of him, almost of its own accord. He watched intently as Yuugi's soft voice faded completely, and he'd just opened the lid to the box. So close now that he was looking over Yuugi's shoulder, he saw the contents within.
He heard the boy in front of him gasp slightly, as well as saw the quick intake of breath. "It's even more amazing then I imagined..." said Yuugi in an almost inaudible voice. 'Its just a bunch of puzzle pieces. What's so special about that?' thought Jounochi. Feeling fed up with the kid's weirdness, he quickly snatched the still opened box from Yuugi's hand. In a second, a piece fell out, but was quickly caught and hidden before it could hit the floor.
It took another second though, before Yuugi snapped out of his thoughts -or that's what Jounochi assumed he was snapping out of- and noticed the boxes absence from his desk. In that moment, Jounochi snickered at the panicked expression that crossed the shorter boy's face. Yuugi's head snapped up at the noise, and he wildly turned towards who was making it.
"Jounochi-kun!" exclaimed Yuugi, surprised. Feeling like having some fun with the situation, Jounochi responded "Yuugi, why are you talking to yourself? Mysterious, hypnotizing, amazing and bunch of other nonsense I don't get." Internally amused, he watched with a straight face as the other boy quickly leaped from his chair and started reaching for the box. Smirking now, he lifted it just out of the shorter boy's reach making him jump to try and get it. "Please return that. Return..." but all that Yuugi was saying was in vain as Jou tossed the box in the air, and jumped over a desk to grab it as it fell.
'Pfft, what a kid.' thought Jou condescendingly. "Timidly treasuring a box... that's what really pisses me off about you Yuugi. Now let me coach you into being more manly like me. C'mon, you want this box right?" he said while holding it out for Yuugi to see. "Well, if so, come at me. Give me all you've got!" he finished shouting in Yuugi's face. Something snapped a bit in Yuugi's mind, probably from all the bullying over the years. But, after a moment's hesitation he yelled "But... I... I hate fighting and violence!" Clutching at his ears, still holding the box, he remarked "Gah! You've got no guts, yet you're so loud! How does such a little thing like you have such a loud voice?"
Just as Yuugi was a about to ask for the box again, another small meek student passed by the open doorway and looked on at the commotion. Hanasaki, not usually very brave, had recently found a new american comic by the name of "Zombire". Wanting to save people like his new favorite superhero, Hanasaki soon mustered up all the courage he had and intervened.
"S-Stop that! Give him back that box Jounochi-kun!" The two other students in the room looked at Hanasaki with expressions of surprise. Those soon turned to looks of disbelief and -on Yuugi's part- thankful amazement. Quickly recovering though, Jou simply asked "And who's gonna make me?"
Also having passed by and hearing the ruckus, Anzu had been about to enter when she saw Hanasaki go in before her. Now though, seeing as how his attempt had failed, she strode into the room to intercede. And that she did. She grabbed the puzzle box from Jou's hand, and handed it back to Yuugi before anyone really registered what had just happened. That's when both Jou and Hanasaki said "Masaki!"
"Anzu!" exclaimed Yuugi thankfully. After smiling down at Yuugi, she turned her attention toward Jou. "Bullying someone weaker than yourself, how low can you get?" Looking only slightly flustered on the outside, Jou replied "I'm not bullying him. I'm making Yuugi a man..."
Rolling her eyes, Anzu retorted "Oh please, just save it!" When it looked like Jou was about to reply back though, she silenced him with a simple "Shut up!" Unannounced to them of course, was their teacher passing right in front of the doorway. A shocked "excuse me?" coming from an equally shocked expression on his face, the teacher was about to demand an explanation when the bell rang, signalling the end of break. So instead, he merely shrugged and told them all to get to their seats. So, they did. And as they waited for the other students to arrive back, Anzu lightly reprimanded Yuugi about standing up for himself.
Little Yuugi of coarse always sees the best in people, so he tried to say Jou isn't really that bad a guy... Anzu wouldn't hear it, and continued her little speech until class finally began. Though Yuugi is usually more attentive, this time he didn't hear a word. All his thoughts were focused on the puzzle. He couldn't seem to get it off his mind...

The final bell was ringing, signalling the end of classes. That finally snapped Yuugi out of his thoughts. So, he forced himself to focus on getting safely -and unbeaten- back home..

A/N
Ookami: Aww! Poor Yuugi!
Haku: Wimp.
Me: *finally got tired of chasing after Ryou... for now* (insert evil laugh here)
So, will Yuugi make it back home safely? Will Sugoroku be mad about the puzzle? Am I every going to get to some exciting action in this story? Find out next time! No seriously, you'll find out. But first, REVIEW! please? I'm offering the same deal here, the first 5 reviewer get to suggest a scene. However, if someone can also guess how the puzzle got its way into the backpack, the win a special dessert! (*virtual, and only while supplies last*)
And before I forget, the reason I'm updating so quickly, is because 1) I have some really important tests this week, and I have to sleep early and 2) because all your reviews inspired me to keep writing! So, tip for the future, Review= faster updates! Its foolproof logic!
Review Please?
