Chapter 4

Bakura, Duke and Ryou sat on the bench outside of Domino High. It was a very hot summer day, and all the flowers infront of the school were begining to wilt from lack of water, and the grass under their feet was all brown and straw-like. Ryou's feet were bare. He enjoyed the feeling of the grass, although it was mostly dry and dead. The boys were simply chatting when Marik walked over.

"Hey!" Marik greeted them. "Ryou, we got to get to class!"

"Oh, right! I'll meet you there. I have to get my shoes from my locker." Ryou replied.

"I'll come with you then." Marik said with a smile.

Ryou's face turned a deep red.

"Oh...Thanks. I would enjoy the company" He said, still blushing. "Don't you two have classes?" He asked the boys on the bench.

"No." Duke replied. "Our classes start a little later today.

"Alright then. See you two later." Marik waved.

The two walked along the gravel path and up the stairs toward the school.

"Their pretty cute together, eh? I think Ryou's really happy about that. He totally likes Marik. He makes it so obvious. Hope he can deal with the fact the Marik dresses like a girl." He laughed at his own joke. "Not to mention the Marik is going to have to put up with Ryou gravity-defying hair! Have you seen it? But then again it's hard not to! Ra, does he look stupid!"

Duke looked at Bakura. Bakura didn't say anything, he only glarred at him.

"But it looks great on you Bakura! Honestly!" Duke sighed in embaresment.

The two boys sat there for a moment. Duke watched the others depart before turning towards Bakura on the bench.

"I need to tell you something..." He began.

Bakura said nothing, but seemed to be listening, so Duke continued.

"Seto's not being completely honest with you..." Duke acted all sad and concerned, but he was acualy quick happy to get this bit of gossip across to Bakura.

Still, Bakura said nothing.

"He's been cheating on you...with Mariku." Duke waited for Bakura's expression to change into shock, but it didn't.

"I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell that. If only Seto was more honest with you..."

Bakura's cell vibrated in his pocket. He looked at the screen which flashed with a little picture of a letter. Bakura turned the phone around to show Duke. It was a text from Joey asking if they wanted to get together tomorrow after school. Duke nodded and Bakura texted back. He asked if they wanted to meet at the coffee place across the street from his house. Duke nodded and Bakura texted. Bakura slipped his phone back into his pocket.

"That's great about Joey, but I'm sure the whole Seto thing is probably still buming you out, hun?"

Bakura slid his shoes along the grass, looking down.

"Really, it's going to be okay. If you need anyone, I'll be there for you, man."

Bakura checked his phone again. He showed it to Duke.

"Guess we better head to class." Bakura said.

Duke walked with his arm around Bakura, pretending to console him. Duke noticed a blue wire coming from the top of Bakura's shirt as they walked inside. Duke moved his hair aside, revieling a pair of headphones. He yanked them out of Bakura's ears in frustration.

"You were listening to your ipod this entire time!" Duke shouted. "Did you hear anything I have been saying!"

"Nope." Bakura shrugged. "But I'm sure It wasn't all that important.." He walked down the hall and into the class on the left.

"That's good I guess. Thankfully you didn't hear me make fun of your hair." Duke smiled.

Bakura spun around. "You WHAT?"

Seto awoke the next morning. He stumbled out of bed, drowzy. He pulled aside the curtains and a flood of sunlight poored into the room. Everything in the room was spotless and neatly put away. He had told Bakura that he would stay at his own place for a while because he was sick. Truth was, he couldn't face Bakura after what he had done. He kept telling himself that it was only fair for him to get back at Bakura, but it didn't help much.

He sat at the table sipping at his coffee. He opened up his laptop and checked his Facebook. Duke had posted something.

Guess what? You know our little couple, Seto and Bakura? Well, wait untill Bakura finds out that Seto slept with Mariku! I think they're a much cuter couple anyway ;) Copy and paste this onto your status if you think so too!

Seto was utterly shocked at first. He thought to himself for a quick moment, and thenbegan yelling at the computer. "Ya, well gues what Duke! Bakura never checks his Facebook, so ha!"

"Yes I do." Bakura was standing in the doorway.

"What?" Seto stood there dumbfounded. "Uh...No! Not you, silly! It's a different Bakura!"

"Really, Seto? You're worse at lying than Mariku is! And that's really saying something..."

Seto sighed. "Well, it was worth a shot.."

"It was?" Bakura said.

"Nope. But I felt like I had to say something there."

"Of course..." Bakura rolled his eyes.

That day, after school, the three boys, Bakura, Joey and Duke, sat on the chairs outside the coffee place.

"So you guys are broken up, hun?" Joey asked.

"Yup." Bakura drank from his cup.

"Oh, by the way Bakura. Seto and Mariku are now together." Duke looked up at Bakura from his drink.

"WHAT! That bloody freakin' bastard!"

Everyone around their table looked at Bakura.

"I mean...uh-" Bakura looked around at everyone starring at him, a little embarrased." Ah, screw it, I hate that btich." He got up and looked at all the people. "Ya! That's right I said it! What do you think of THAT!"

Duke and Joey covered their faces with their hands slightly. "If anyone asks," Joey said, "We don't know him."

"Agreed." Duke whispered back.

Bakura continued to make a scene, yelling and screaming. "So what if I swear in public? I am intitled to my freedom! My boyfriend's gone now and I'm furious! Ya! That's right! I'm gay! You got a problem with that!"

By now, half the people were either gone or calling the police, the others were watching the crazed albino man.

Duke yanked on Bakura's sleve and dragged him down the street, Joey walking beside them, laughing at Bakura.

"Why do you insist on embarrasing me?" Duke yelled at Bakura.

"Are you kidding me, Duke?" Joey was barely audible he was laughing so hard. "That was hilarious! Seems like someone's never been dumped before!"

"Ya, ya. Laugh while you can, Wheeler! At least I've been in a relasionship! You don't even have a chance! And by the way, Ryou is totally into Marik, and I think Marik has a little crush himself!"

"WHAT!" Joey screamed. "That can't be!"

Bakura danced around Joey, mocking him as they stood on the sidewalk. The people who passed by watched the two, rather disturbed.

Duke barried his face in his hands. "Oh, let the insanity end!"
