Chapter 3

[I will be on vacation for a week and will most likely not be able to update my stories so I'm updating the ones that I can today and tomorrow since I'm leaving Friday. I apologize now if my others stories take longer to update because of this]

"Ok class, I know it's the middle of the first semester but we have two new students that I'd like you to welcome. You two boys can come in, now." The teacher, , smiled and looked at the classroom door. Yugi was sitting in the back of the room as the teacher allowed the students to pick where they sat and they could always change it. He usually sat in the front but he knew then he wouldn't have a chance to sit with Atem and Yami since everyone sat in the front. He sat up more when he heard announce new students. He knew who it was since he had been able to get his cousin, Seto Kaiba, to hack into the school system and put them in at least most of his classes and if he didn't have class with one of them then he had it with the other.

Two students walked into the room and immediately more than two-thirds of the classroom froze in fear while the rest of the class, except Yugi, looked at their classmates in confusion while Yugi looked at them excitedly. Atem looked to be sixteen maybe seventeen, had hair like Yugi but there was blonde streaks in his points and the tips were red, red slanted eyes, and tanned skin. Yami looked just like Atem except his hair had purple tips and he had pale skin like Yugi. Atem and Yami were wearing the school uniform but they just seemed to have a murderous aura that made others want to stay away from them. They just stood in the front of the class and glanced around at their classmates who were all except for one glancing away.

"Would you two like to introduce yourself?" smiled and sat down in her desk. She did know that Atem and Yami were gang leaders but as she worked for the school she got special protection and wasn't supposed to be touched but she still knew not to push it.

"I'm Atem." Atem smirked and put his hands in his pockets, enjoying the scared looks.

"And I'm Yami." Yami smiled a little and leaned against the wall.

"Ok...hm...let's see where there is any free seats." glanced around the room and tried to find seats where they wouldn't cause too much trouble.

"They can sit next to me !" Yugi's smile got bigger as he shot out of his chair and started to wave his arm in the air. He knew he probably seemed crazy as to want to be near two guys that seem scarier than the devil but others thought he was a friendly and innocent boy that wanted to be friends with anyone and everyone.

"Yugi don't." The boy in front of Yugi whispered and faced him.

"Why?" Yugi looked at the boy innocently and tilted his head.

"T-they...well…" The boy started to shake as he saw Atem and Yami walk towards them from the corner of his eyes.

"I-I can't be friends with them?" Yugi's eyes seemed to get bigger and he forced tears to fall down his cheek.

"Y-you can…" The boy flinched and turned around.

"Yay!" Yugi smiled big and wiped away the fake tears. The other students looked at Yugi with pity and it annoyed Yugi.

"Ok students, I have a meeting so I'll be back soon so don't get in trouble please." got up and walked out of the room, glaring at Atem and Yami as sat in the desk on the right of Yugi's desk.

"Hello…." Yami smirked and leaned over to have a look at Yugi since Atem was sitting between them.

" My name is Yugi and you're Atem and Yami right?" Yugi giggled and held out his hand for Atem.

"That's right, little one." Atem took Yugi's hand and planted a kiss on it. Him and Yami were already confused and this just confused them even more since they were sure that most of the school was from their territory so they expected everyone to stay away.

"Little one?" Yugi blushed and didn't move his hand to pretend to be shocked. When he had read about Atem, he'd learned that he was a player but wasn't that trustworthy so Yugi wanted to get on his good side before Yami if possible.

"Well you are cute and little so little one since Yugi is too much too remember." Yami chuckled and sat back in his chair.

"Too much to remember?" Yugi frowned and looked at the ground. He was getting really pissed that Atem and Yami were treating him like trash but he knew that he couldn't get out of character.

"Yeah...unless you have a reason to be remembered." Atem shrugged and gently grabbed Yugi's chin, making him look at him.

"Well I'm Yugi and I love to play games, making friends, and helping others out. How about you tell me about yourself." Yugi smiled and looked straight in Atem's eyes, making the bigger one flinch. Yugi made a mental note that Atem wasn't a fan of others staring him in the eye.

"You think we'll just tell you about ourselves even though we just met?" Atem raised an eyebrow and let go of Yugi's chin.

"I told you about myself." Yugi pouted and crossed his arms like a little kid.

"Ok...what do you wanna know?" Yami quickly glanced at the door and smirked. Yugi opened his mouth to ask a question but heard the door open.

"Class I'm back." walked in and Yugi cursed in his head and sat up straight.

"Well too bad, looks like the teacher is back." Yami chuckled and put his feet on his desk.

"Oh….ok…." Yugi teared up and nodded.

[Time Skip]

"Hey Yami!" Yugi forced a smile as he saw Yami in his next class and ran over to him, hugging him tightly.

"Ugh…" Yami groaned and looked down at Yugi. He usually would've punched anyone that touched him but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Yugi what are you doing over….Sir." Joey walked over to them and froze when he saw Yami. Joey knew that Yugi was on a mission but that didn't mean he had to treat Yami any different than he already did.

"Hm...who are you again?" Yami looked Joey up and down and shrugged.

"I'm Joey, sir. I'm one of Atem's higher ups." Joey groaned and facepalmed.

"Oh...do you know this squirt?" Yami nodded and pointed at Yugi who as still hugging him.

"This is Yugi Bakura." Joey sighed and pulled Yugi off of Yami. Yugi pouted and looked up at Joey.

"Joey you know Yami?" Yugi tilted his head and brushed him off when Joey put him down.

"Yes and I don't think you should be around him or Atem." Joey nodded and patted his head.

"Why?" Yugi tilted and Yami chuckled.

"They're a part of a gang." Joey sat down in the seat in front of Yami and sighed.

"Which one?" Yugi sat next to Yami and looked innocently at Yami.

"Millenium Puzzle, little one." Yami smirked and waited for the scared look that never came.

"Which one is that?" Yugi scratched his head and Yami's eyes widened.

"The one Joey's in." Yami chuckled and Yugi's eyes widened.

"You're in a gang Joey?" Yugi looked at Joey with fear in his eyes and was shaking.

"Ugh...I didn't want you to know but yes." Joey frowned and rubbed Yugi's head who flinched.

"Which one is the Millennium Puzzle?" Yugi mumbled and took a few deep breathes.

"Does this kid live under a rock?" Yami groaned and crossed his legs.

"No...but he lives in Duel Monster's territory." Joey sighed and stretched his arms above his head.

"What?" Yami raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yugi.

"Yeah" Yugi frowned and looked at the ground.

[Time skip]

"Atem!" Yugi ran to Atem and hugged him tightly even though Atem didn't have a shirt as they were in the gym room. Atem's eyes widened and he held his arms up.

"Sir…." Joey walked in behind Yami and had watched Yugi tackle Atem.

"Joey get him off of me." Atem sighed and tried to push Yugi off but he had an iron grip.

"Yes sir….Yugi you've got to stop this." Joey chuckled and easy pulled Yugi off of Atem. He set Yugi down and Yugi pouted.

"Why?" Yugi looked up at Joey and made his eyes bigger.

"I'm sure they don't like to be attacked and I don't want them breaking your arm by accident." Joey sighed and covered Yugi's eyes before he could use his puppy dog eyes on him.

"Wouldn't be an accident." Yami mumbled and Joey glared at him which didn't even faze Yami.

"I'm not that weak!" Yugi flailed his arms around and Joey moved his hand.

"Just get changed." Joey sighed and went to open his his own locker.

"Got it!" Yugi smiled and nodded. He opened his locker and grabbed his gym clothes, running to the shower stalls to change. Atem and Yami watched him with hunger in their eyes and they took a glance at each other.

"Hey Joey….is that squirt taken?" Atem smirked and put on the rest of his gym uniform.

"Why?" Joey glanced at them and raised an eyebrow.

"None of your business." Yami rolled his eyes and started to strip.

"Fine and, to answer your question, no he isn't." Joey rolled his eyes and sighed.

"We see." Atem chuckled and nodded. Yami was in the middle of changing when he heard...

"Move, that's my locker." Jake glared down at a boy that had been in front of his locket.

"I-i'm sorry…" The boy ran away and Jake opened his locket.

"Is that?" Yami narrowed his eyes and finished putting on his shorts.

"Jake Mutou….The most feared student in this school and heir to the Duel Monster's gang. You two may have a grudge against him but I wouldn't try anything yet." Joey shook his head and leaned against the wall since he was changed. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Yugi watching Jake and knew that he had a plan right away.

"Hey Jake!" Yugi smiled and ran over to his brother which made the all the boys freeze.

"What is that idiot doing?" Joey groaned and facepalmed.

"What do you want squirt?" Jake glared down at Yugi and growled.

"I-I just wanted to say hi…" Yugi flinched and started to shake.

"Do I need to teach you a lesson again, Yugi?" Jake grabbed Yugi's shirt and lifted him off the ground.

"N-no….I'm sorry…" Yugi was shaking even more and tears were falling down his face.

"Now go before I decide to change my mind." Jake threw Yugi to the ground and went back to his locker.

"Y-yes…." Yugi nodded and scrambled away, shaking and tears still falling down his face.

"Yugi…." Joey frown and shook his head.

"What was the deal with that?" Atem grounded his teeth and glared at Jake.

"Whenever Jake's in a bad mood, he uses Yugi as a personal punching bag so if he ever comes with injuries it's usually because of that." Joey closed his locker and glanced at Atem and Yami.

"That's not right...he's clearly weaker." Atem shook his head and glared at Jake as well. Jake knew that every time he hurt Yugi he gained more enemies in the school as most of the school saw him as their icon as he was "sweet and innocent" unlike everyone else in the school.

"Yeah…." Joey turned so Yami and Atem couldn't see the smirk on his face as he walked to Yugi. He hadn't realized that his "leaders" were weak for those that appeared to be weak and helpless. He knew that would come to bite them later as looks could be deceiving.
