I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 4

He turned to look at the person leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed over his chest. Wild white hair pointing everywhere with two of his bangs raised up in the air like wings.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" he asked, his hands clenched at his sides.

The person let out a laugh and straightened up and turned to face him. "Is that a way to treat an old friend, Sam?" he sneered.

Sam shook his head, let out a deep sigh and turned on his heel. "Just leave me be."

"Why did you leave?"

"It's none of your concern, Akefia." he answered, remembering the person's name. "And you should do well to leave me alone."

Akefia didn't. He just let out a sigh as he looked at the person infront of him. "I make it my concern. Eversince the day we met-"

"You made it clear that I couldn't be your friend." he interrupted as he turned to face the other. "And if you have something to hide, then I have too. Just leave me alone." And with that, he left the school, running as fast as he can.

Not caring the least bit where his feet take him, nor the rain that had started to pour since he ran from the school. He ignored the curious stares of the people as he ran past.

Akefia didn't expect him to ran moreso under the pouring rain. And he didn't expect to push the other's buttons either.

He was just curious as to what he was doing here. So far.

He then let out a sigh as he shook his head and stepped out of the school, an umbrella in his hand. Deciding for himself to look for the guy.

It wouldn't be better for him to be outside in the pouring rain while his body still adjusting to the difference in time and temperature.

Curse his luck.

Sam wasn't expecting him to be here, moreso to remember their short encounter 7 years ago. He was sure that he had forgotten about it but only to remember it when he saw his face.

He let out a deep sigh as he wrapped his arms around himself. Shivering under the rain. His bangs stuck to his face as he considered the irony of it all.

"You shouldn't be out in the rain." a voice spoke.

His eyes widened as he wondered who it was. And then notice that the rain didn't seem to touch him, not unlike awhile ago.

He slowly looked up to see Akefia holding an umbrella in his hand, standing beside him. A small smirk on the other's face.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he abruptly stood up, and glared at the other.

Akefia just shrugged, not bothering to answer his question.

He let out an angry huff and stormed off. His hands clenched into fists at his sides. 'He have no idea what he had just put himself in.' he thought angrily.

"If I did, then it would even make me more insistent to know." Akefia told him, still holding the umbrella over his head.

He shook his head. "Go away."

The other didn't budge. He just stood there, rooted to his place. Sam let out a sigh. Finally realizing that the other wouldn't leave without having what he wanted.

Although he have a question for the other.

"Before I answer yours, " he paused as he thought carefully about what he wanted to ask the other when he let out a sigh. "Why are you here?"

It was a long while before Akefia spoke. Weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He then let out a sigh. "The same way that you are here for."

Sam's eyes widened as he heard those words. And slowly turned to face the other who was wearing a grim look on his face.

"What-"

"Every person has a secret to keep." Akefia answered gruffly. "And even I do."

"What are you really doing here?"

The white-haired teen shook his head. "Nothing that you should concern yourself about."

"Really, what is it?"

Akefia stared at the other with his red-brown eyes. "Why would you care? When you spat at me the same words that I did 7 years ago?"

Sam looked at him, his jaw tight. And then he looked away. "Fine. Thanks for the umbrella though." he told him as he slung his bag over his shoulder and walked away from him.

They were so deep into their thoughts that they didn't notice that the rain had already stopped and the sun had begun to cast its rays onto the dreary earth.

Akefia watched his back and let out a sigh before he turned on his heel and walked towards the opposite direction. No one should know why he is here.

Not even his real reason should know.

He walked down the street, his folded umbrella slung over his shoulder, with his other hand shoved inside his pockets. A smirk made its way across his face as he saw the bullies quiver with fear at the sight of him.

He might not look like much, but he could fight anyone twice his size and suffer a few scrapes here and there.

As he was passing by a modest looking apartment, his body tensed as if sensing another presence nearby. Someone with the same aura as him.

He looked around his surroundings wondering where it came from. 'Something's not right here.' he thought as he continued to walk.

When he stopped. 'I sensed it again!' he snarled in his head. 'Where could it be coming from?' he asked himself as he looked around his surroundings once more.

He then looked up at the looming structure of the apartment over him, and frowned, his grip tightened around the umbrella. "I do sense it came from here." he told himself.

'I'll find out whoever it is,' he thought to himself. 'Whoever you are...you will never be able to escape once I knew who you are.'
