New Home

Ch. 2

Yugi and Heba were waiting in the front office for the secretary to return with their schedules and didn't notice they were being watched. 17 year olds Yami and Atemu Sennen were staring at the two new students with interest. They looked exactly like Yugi and Heba but only with Crimson eyes and dark complexions.

"Hey Yams, Atem!" they heard from behind them. They turned to see their friend Joey Wheeler running up to them. They noticed he was wearing old jeans and a black shirt with his favorite band AFI on it. They rolled their eyes. Joey had already 10 detentions from the clothes he wore to school. First it was his ICP shirts then his torn jeans, followed by his attitude toward their Math teacher. Joey happened to see their expressions.

"Relax guys the principal said I can wear my band shirts as long as they have nothing disturbing on it like my ICP shirts." He said. He noticed where they were looking before.

"So we have some new students huh? How long before you think Vivian and Tea are going to confront them?" He asked.

"I give it before lunch that they approach them. We'll see if their like the other guys around here that want to keep their reputations." Atemu said. Both Yami and Atemu though popular had their own trouble with the school sluts Tea Gardner and Vivian Wong. Thanks to them the entire school knew that they were gay.

"You know they really did us a favor. We no longer have to worry about girls hitting on us." Yami said as they walked to their spot under a giant oak tree. Atemu shrugged.

"Yeah but now we have to deal with guys coming after us." He said as he pulled out his text book to finish his homework. from last night. Yami chuckled as he leaned against the tree waiting for their other friends to get there.

(With Ryo)

Ryo sat in his car taking deep breaths. 'Come on Ryo like you said he probably forgot all about you.' he thought. He sighed and got out and walked up to the building. It was a dojo that taught self defense and weaponry for the older students. It was run by Sage Date former Ronin Warrior and his best friend. 'Might as well say former best friend.' he thought miserably as he walked inside and stopped dead. There sitting at the reception desk was Rowen Hashiba. 'Shit'

Yugi was sitting in the one class he didn't have with his brother: Advance Art. He was sitting next to a teen with perfect brown hair and icy sapphire blue eyes and on his other side was a boy with semi-wild white hair and soft chocolate brown eyes.

"Now class we have a new student Yugi Mutou can you please stand." the teacher said. As Yugi stood he thought he heard the teen next to him mumble 'fruitcake.' but dismissed it.

" Ah Yes Yugi boy stay there between Mr. Ryou and Kaiba-boy." he said before turning to the board to write the project for the month. Yugi sat back down.

"Now your project this month is to pick your favorite place in the world and create a picture with you and your family there. The only supplies you can use are pastels, charcoal,or paint, a poster board, a pencil, and a picture of your family. The picture must be one you can duplicate into the picture. You may have partners if you wish. Copy paper is available up here so you can sketch out what you want and pencils so you can decide what colors you'll use. Get to work." He said before sitting down at his desk. Yugi pulled out his sketch book and turned to a picture he had drawn before when Ryo and Heba had fallen asleep on the couch after watching a movie. He never noticed Ryou was looking at it as well, he jumped when he said something.

"What?" Yugi asked. Ryou chuckled a little.

"I said you have talent. Its really good. I'm Ryou Bakura." He said smiling. Yugi smiled at him. " That's Seto Kaiba beside you. Are you going to use that picture?" Ryou asked. Yugi shrugged.

"I don't know honestly. I have alot of pictures of my brother and Ryo in here. I tend to sketch when bored." Yugi said rubbing his neck. He jumped when Kaiba leaned over and glanced at his picture.

" Ryou's right. You have talent. How about the three of us work together. It will be easier and faster to get our posters done." Kaiba said. Yugi nodded.

"Okay." he said.

"How about we meet up at lunch, we can figure out where to meet after school and you can meet our friends." Ryou suggested. Yugi smiled.

"Okay. Then you can meet my brother." Yugi said. Ryou nodded before getting up to get himself a piece of copy paper to try to draw England, his homeland. Yugi smiled. 'Cool. I'm making friends already I wonder if Heba is having the same luck as I am.' he thought as he looked through his sketches to find the perfect one.

'I'm in trouble.' Ryo thought as Rowen turned his gaze to his and watched him stiffen. 'I'm in really deep shit.' he thought as he watched Rowen stand adn come toward him. He flinched when Rowen grabbed his wrist and dragged him to an office where low and behold Sage was sitting. He gulped when he heard Rowen lock the office door.

"So imagine my surprise when your appilaction appeared in front of me,Sanada." Sage said not looking at him. 'Yep I'm in deep water. When Sage says my last name and not my first.' "Ten years." Sage whispered softly. "TEN FUCKING YEARS! RYO!" he suddenly yelled. Ryo jumped. Rowen just crossed his arms behind him. "You better have a fucking good explanation to where the hell you've been and the reason better be good." Sage said finally looking up and glaring at Ryo.

"Before I explain...Are the others still around? I would rather explain to you all at the same time than having to explain a thousand times. Trust me Its a good reason." Ryo said softly. Rowen was the one to answer.

"Kento is the only one not with us anymore. Cye is a doctor here in the city." Rowen said. Ryo swallowed the lump.

"What do you mean Kento is not here anymore?" Ryo asked. Rowen turned.

"He died. He was killed by a drunk driver. Cye was the doctor that tried to save his life. We feared the worst for you, you know." Rowen said. Ryo nodded.

"I didn't mean to cause you guys grief.I meant to stay in touch but I guess I let things get out of hand. Come here tonight with Cye and I'll explain everything." Ryo said handing Rowen a piece of paper. Ryo walked unlocked the door and walked out with a heavy heart.

(At School)

Yugi was sitting with Ryou and Seto under the oak tree waiting on their friends. Yugi waved to his brother when he saw him. Heba ran over and sat down. He was followed later by Yami, Atemu,Joey and four new people.

"Okay Intorductions. This is Tristian Taylor, Marik Ishmal, Malik Ishtar, Marik's brother Bakura Ishmal, Joey Wheeler, and Yami and Atemu Sennen. " Ryou said when they were close enough. "Guys this is Yugi Mutou. I guess you met his brother." He added.

Heba nodded to Ryou. "I'm Heba. who are you two?" He asked.

"I'm Ryou Bakura."

"Seto Kaiba."

"Wait..Seto Kaiba...as in the business typhoon Seto Kaiba?" Heab asked. Seto nodded. "Whoa. Cool." Heba snickered.

"Uh oh. Little miss perfect is making her way over here." Joey said. They all turned and saw Vivian Wong making her way over.

"I'm sorry I'm confused. You don't like her right?" Yugi asked. Ryou shook his head.

"She is considered the slut of Domino High. She along wih Tea Gardner. They have been making our lives living hell since we all denied them for a date." He explained.

"Wow, they sound desperate." Heba said. Yugi nodded.

"Hello fags." Vivian said putting her hands on her hips. She turned to Yugi and Heba and smirked. "You might want to watch these guys, they may try to sleep with you." she added hoping to convince these new students what kinda of freaks they were hanging out with. heab and Yugi shared a look.

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked innocently.

"They like to shag boys. Is that gross? You might want to stay away from them so nobody calls you fags as well." Vivian said thinking she had won them over. " Which one of you would like to go on a date with me or my friend Tea?" she asked.

Yugi shrugged. "They would be right." he said. "And Neither." he 's smile disappeared.

"What?" She snarled.

Yugi rolled his eyes at her and let Heba answer. " What he means is...That we are gay...well Yugi moreso than me...I'm bi...but i lean more towards guys than girls." Heba said. " He also means that we don't go out with girls with no morals." he added.

Vivian glared at them. "This isn't over. You just ruined your reputations." She said before walking off. Yugi snorted.

"What reputations? We just got here." He said. He grunted when Bakura slapped him on the back as he laughed. He noticed they were all laughing.

"DUDES! I love these guys!" Marik said with tears coming out of his eyes. " No one has stood up to Vivian in a long time since we came." He added. Yugi shrugged.

"We only spoke the truth." Heba said as he started eating his lunch.

"Hey Yugi, when do you want me and Seto to come over for our project?" Ryou asked as he too started eating. Yugi shrugged.

"Let me ask Ryo, then I'll call either you or Seto with the details." he said.

Seto shrugged. "Works for me." They all laughed as they reencoutered what had happened with Vivian not caring of the glares from both Vivian or Tea as they ate.
