(A/N: -sings happily- Moshi moshi! n.n Yush, I think I should explain myself. You see, I'm going to be very very very busy this week, and since my onee-chan got me in a really good mood today -:D- I decided to finish the next chapter! And I had promised it since a long time ago, I apologize for the late update T-T but here it is!

I really liked how this came out. Kinda fluffy at the end... -smiles mischievously- And remember, I don't own this anime series but Kerii-chan and Sakiko are my OCs. Enjoy! :D)


Shōnen-Ai High School

Chapter 14

"Wait, this isn't what you told me, is it?"

"I'm sure, Yugi-kun, that it's not… 'Kura-kun!"

"What is it now, Ryou?!"

"Why is his hair like that? It's supposed to be the other way around!"

"Why?! He looks just fine like that!"

"Bakura, the guy looks like someone who is planning on killing himself!"

"So, what's the problem with that?"

"'Kura-kun, don't be like that! You're so mean!"

"Aw, Bakura, you made poor Ryou cry!"

"You stay out of this, Atemu!"

"Oi, what's the big commotion about, ne?!"

Bakura was never one to follow instructions, and this case was no exception. Ryou and Yugi had been working on the story while thinking about the designs for the characters. When Ryou told Bakura the design for the first character, seems like he got it all wrong (probably on purpose) and did the complete opposite of what the smaller white-haired had told him.

So now, Ryou was about to break in tears, Yami mockingly blamed Bakura, and they would've probably continued if Kerii hadn't interrupted them just in time.

"I refuse to keep working with Bakura!" said Yugi, folding his arms across his chest.

"What did you do now, Bakura-kun?" asked Kerii, turning to him.

"Seems like his sense of humor doesn't have limit at all," replied Yami before Bakura could answer the question.

"I told you to stay out of this!"

"BAKURA!" yelled the blue-haired girl. "We have less than four months to prepare this. First comes the story, then the designs, and then putting everything into stage. If you keep messing it all purposely, this play will eventually be a ruin and I'm gonna kick you so badly that you'll walk with one leg for the rest of your life!"

Everyone fell into silence.

"You know, I'd do what she says if I were you," commented her relative.

"Oi, you guys just can't stand anything, can you?!" said Bakura as he erased the guy's hair from the sketch he'd done two days before. "Now I'll have to redo this thing…"

"If you'd just done it right in the first place, there would be no need of it," added Yami.

"One more word, Atemu, and I swear I'll kick your ass!"

"He's right, though," whispered Yugi, turning his sight back to his notebook before the white-haired could glare at him.

"Thanks for the support, kid," mouthed his older look-a-like, winking at him. Yugi did his best so Yami wouldn't notice that he was blushing.

"'Kura-kun, you have very amazing skills, but you have to listen when someone is giving you instructions to do something!" added Ryou nervously.

"Yush, yush, wakarimashita," replied the taller white-haired as he tried to redo the sketch's hair.

"It isn't so hard to be nice, ne, Bakura-kun?" Bakura glared at Kerii as if to say 'I'm so gonna kill you…'

"You, little…!"

"Mutou-san?" The five workers turned their heads to the door, where the principal could be seen.

"H- Hai, Sakiko-san?" asked Yugi, standing up from the chair where he was sitting.

"You have a call," she answered, "from… a friend of yours? He said his name is Katsuya Jounouchi," said the elder, putting on a nervous smile. A very not-nervous one formed on the boy's face.

"Jou-kun!" he called excitedly, following Sakiko out of the door. Yami leaned back on his chair and let out a sigh.

"Oi, what's wrong, cous' cous'?" questioned the blue-haired girl as she took a place next to him.

"What makes you think there's something wrong?" he replied.

"I need a break," interrupted Bakura, standing up and walking through the door.

"'Kura-kun, mateh!" Ryou turned to the cousins, smiled gently, and followed his older look-a-like. "Mateh, 'Kura-kun!"

"I'm pretty sure they won't come back in a while," said Kerii as the two white-haired teenagers left the room. "Now, onegai, can you tell me what's wrong?"

"Oi, there's nothing wrong, Kerii-chan!" said Yami angrily. "Why are you being so stubborn?!"

"You might think I'm crazy…"

"I already do, actually." The girl 'hmph-ed' him. The older relative thought it looked more like she was pouting.

"Demo, I noticed that when Yugi left, your 'happy-aura' kinda—I don't know—vanished." Yami held back a surprised gasp and the blood quickly went up to his cheeks.

"N- Nani?! What in the world are you talking about now, cous' cous'?!" The female teenager smirked.

"Oh, you know, I just thought…"

"I really don't wanna know what's going on in your little twisted and dirty mind," said the crimson-eyed, holding his hands in front of his face. Kerii smirked childishly and closed her eyes, leaning her head back on the chair.

Silence fell over the room again until the girl randomly talked.

"You two guys look really kawaii together."

"THE HELL?!" yelled Yami, jumping up from his place, a bright pink blush on his cheeks.

"What?" she asked, opening her eyes to look at Yami, a false innocence lying on her face.

"What do you mean 'what'?! Have you gone insane?!" exclaimed the older one.

"There's nothing wrong with that," she replied, closing her eyes again.

"I'm not saying it's wrong, but…!"

"What isn't wrong?" The crimson-eyed froze on his place as soon as he heard Yugi's voice entering the conversation.

"Talking about the King of Rome," murmured Kerii loud enough for only she and Yami to hear, smirking. Yami frowned and tried to forget about her previous comments, not wanting to face his room and workmate with the blush still proud on his face.

"N- Nothing, it's nothing, kid," he answered quickly without turning around to see him.

"I think Yami-kun has problems while making up his mind," said the girl with a very squeaky voice, resting her arms on the back of her chair like a child.

"Shut up, you little demon!" ordered Yami, angry enough.

"Just what were you two guys talking about?" asked Yugi, confused by the situation.

"Never mind." The girl stood up from her stolen place. "Now, I'll go and bring Bakura and Ryou-kun back so you can all get back to work. Demo, you guys don't have to wait for them! You can continue in the meantime!"

Before any of the two look-a-likes could say a thing, the female teenager had already walked away.

I'm so gonna kill that girl! thought her relative, pure fury running through his veins.

He did not like Yugi, did he? No way, of course not! He was a very good partner, and of course, they got along just fine. They hadn't had any trouble in the past month, not since Yugi got into the school. And he didn't seem to dislike Yami, which meant that maybe…

IIE! Yami let out a VERY frustrated but silent sigh. I'm about to start thinking just like Kerii.

"So, what were you going to say about not saying it was wrong or—?" The older of the two fell into complete shock.

What if Yugi had heard their conversation? What if now he had the wrong idea?

Crap.

"That girl was only bothering," he said without thinking. "I say we should get back to work." Yugi nodded, not saying anything else for fear of breaking the atmosphere. "Now," he continued, stretching his hand to grab the boy's notebook from the table in front of them. "I don't remember what happens after they fight."

"Oh, I have it written down in…" and just when he was about to, Yugi's hand reached for it, too. And obviously, their hands, at some point, touched each other. Feeling a spark between the two hands, they both looked at the other one for what seemed like an eternity. Reacting, the two of them took back their hands and gazed at the other way. Yami was blushing like a maniac.

Could it be that… that I do feel something for this kid?
