Enjoy!


Chapter 43- Retribution

Yugi, Yami, Atemu, Heba, Ryou, and Seto all got up on time on the morning of their first day of school after winter break.

After some fighting, they managed to get the others out of bed.

"I don't want to go back t school." Marik whined.

"Too bad, Marik. You're going whether you want to or not." Seiji retorted.

Touma shook his head. "I never had a problem going to school." Touma said.

Seiji rolled his eyes. "That's because you loved school, and you had perfect grades in every class that you took from elementary school all the way through college." Seiji said.

"I seem to recall that you loved the fact that I was a genius because you were always coming to me when you needed help with your schoolwork. " Touma said.

"I never said that I wasn't glad that you were a genius." Seiji said.

"Come on, you guys. I thought that you would be glad to go back to school today." Atemu said as he ate breakfast.

"Why's that?" Bakura asked.

"Because of the fact that we're really going to let Rebecca have it." Yugi said.

"We'd better not be getting any calls from the school." Touma warned.

"We're not laying a hand on her, Tou. Mostly, it's just going to be what we say to her, and we're going to make sure that she knows that we're not happy about the fact that she lied the way she did. When she did that, we all know that it's because she knew that Yugi was rich." Yami said.

"No physical violence. I don't want to be called to the school under any circumstances." Seiji said.

"No problem." Yami said.

Before long, it was time for them to head to school.

"Do you want us to take Jun to school for you today?" Yugi asked as the teenagers grabbed their jackets and their backpacks.

"No. I've got to go to work today, and I drive right by the school when I go to the hospital, so I'll drop him off." Seiji said.

"Well, if you don't mind, pick him up from school for me. I'd rather not have to get out today." Touma said.

"No problem, Tou." Heba said.

The teenagers then left the house.

"At least they're willing to help out by getting him." Seiji said.

"Seiji, before you and I got back together, they would pick him up and drop him off for me. I know that they'll do it if we just ask them." Touma said.

"I guess they'll have to do both since we'll be in the hospital after the baby comes." Seiji said.

"I know, but we've got a little while before that happens." Touma said.


When the teenagers got to the school, they found that there was a huge crowd outside the school.

"What the hell is going on?!" Bakura exclaimed.

"Oh-no." Yugi groaned.

"What's wrong?" Seto asked.

"We're famous, and we go to public school. Do the math." Yugi said.

"This is going to be a long day." Yami remarked.

"We might as well deal with it." Atemu said.

The group pulled into the school parking lot, and they parked.

"I really hate that everyone knows the truth now." Ryou said.

"Come on. You guys might as well fact the music now." Atemu said.

The group got out of the car, grabbing their backpacks in the process.

The media was there, and they were snapping pictures and such.

"Let's get inside." Yugi said.

The group then headed toward the entrance to the school.

Unfortunately for them, the students that were already at the school started to swarm around them.

"Hey, guys!"

"Welcome back!"

"Let's hang out!"

"Sing a song!"

There were shouts that were all similar that were said.

Yugi rolled his eyes. 'Yeah. Now they want to hang out with us. Before, no one here would give us the time of day. Now that they all know that we're a famous music group, they want to out and be our friends.' Yugi thought sourly.

"Inside!" Heba muttered urgently.

The group headed inside the school through the swarm of students.

Yami, Atemu, Marik, Bakura, and Seto all made sure to hold on tightly to their boyfriends so that they didn't get separated. None of them were taking a chance that people would try to come onto them since they knew that that was a major possibly now.

The comments were still thrown around.

"Maybe we should consider home schooling now." Jou remarked.

"No, Jou. We might as well deal with it. This is our senior year, and we can handle this for a few months." Yugi said.

The group went to their lockers and got what they needed.

"So, when are you letting Rebecca have it?" Marik asked.

"Don't know yet. Trust me. You'll know when we go after her." Yugi said.

The group headed into their first class and found that it was empty.

"At least we'll have a few moments of peace." Malik said.

"Don't count on it. Everyone knows that we're in class, so we'll be hounded pretty soon." Yugi said.

As Yugi said, people soon started coming into the classroom and tried talking to them.

A few had the nerve to ask them out, but quick glares from the boyfriends had them backing off and leaving.

"Vultures." Jou muttered under his breath.

"You said it, puppy." Seto replied.

The group was glad when class started because they were left alone for a while, but that didn't stop the looks people would give them.


Yugi dreaded his second class for two reasons. One, he had it alone, so he would have to take all of heat of the students by himself, and two, he had the class with Rebecca.

When Yugi entered the class, he went to his seat and sat down.

"Hey, Yugi." a girl said.

Yugi looked up and said, "What?"

The girl fluttered her eyelashes and said, "Maybe you should come and sit with me and my friends at break today. We'd love to have you, your brother, and your three friends sit with us."

"No, thank you. If we came, then our boyfriends would come to." Yugi said with a smile.

The girl huffed and turned away.

Yugi rolled his eyes. 'We've been dating the guys for a while, and they have the nerve to act like this. The pains of being famous, I guess.' Yugi thought.

"Hey, Yugi! Why don't we hang out after school?" a guy asked.

"No. I already have plans." Yugi said.

It wasn't a total lie. Yugi knew he would be spending the afternoon with his friends and boyfriend. He just didn't know what they were going to be doing.

Yugi caught sight of Rebecca when she walked in. 'I'm not going to let her have it just yet. I'd rather Yami be there when I do. I know that he's so looking forward to putting her in her place. Besides, Bakura and Marik want to watch it, too.' Yugi thought.

Rebecca caught sight if him and smiled. 'He wasn't honest in those interviews. I know that he loves me, and we'll be together some time soon.' Rebecca thought. She walked over to him and said, "Hi, Yugi darling."

"I have nothing to say to you, Rebecca, so leave me alone." Yugi said as he got his things for the class out of his backpack.

"But, Yugi. We really need to talk." Rebecca said.

Yugi looked up at her. "Rebecca, class starts soon. I don't have time to listen to you. Now. Leave. Me. Alone." Yugi said.

Rebecca pouted, but wisely went to her seat.

'Just wait, Rebecca. You want to talk. We'll be talking pretty soon. And you're not going to like it.' Yugi thought, knowing Yami wouldn't show her any mercy given the way that she had acted before the news came out and after she found out.


"So, you actually didn't say a word to her?" Marik asked.

"No, I didn't. I knew that you and Bakura wanted to see it when it happened. Besides, I think that Yami has a few choice things he's been wanting to say to her." Yugi said.

"Yes, I do." Yami agreed.

"So, has everyone else been harassed as much as I have?" Heba asked.

"Yes." was the reply.

"It's going to happen for a while. You guys know that this won't die down any time soon." Yami said.

"We're going to put up with it." Ryou assured him.

"Yeah, but if one more person decides to ask him out, I swear that I am going to beat the crap out of the idiot that decides to ask him." Bakura growled.

"Calm down, Kura. You know that you are the only one for me, so there's no need to be like that. Besides, I can kick anyone's ass on my own." Ryou said.

"We know that. You kicked our asses and then there's the few bullies that dared come after you that you took down without much of a fight." Seto said.

"Well, I'll still kick their ass." Bakura said.

"That's what I'll do to Rebecca if she doesn't knock it off." Yami said.

"Calm down, Yami." Yugi said. He then saw where Rebecca was sitting at a tree. 'Hmm. This might be the perfect opportunity.' Yugi thought. He then had a different idea. "Guys, I think that I just got a devious idea." Yugi said.

"What's that?" Heba asked.

"I think that we should toy with Rebecca a bit." Yugi said.

"And how do you plan to do that, Little One?" Yami asked.

"Well-" Yugi started and then explained the idea.

"What about Jun?" Heba asked.

It was then that Yugi's phone vibrated. He looked at it and saw he had a text message.

"What is it?" Ryou asked.

"The answer to the Jun thing. Tou just sent me a text and told me that he forgot he had a doctor's appointment today and that he's get Jun after school since he's be out of the appointment around the time that Jun would get out of school." Yugi said.

"Well, it looks like we can go through with your little scheme then." Yami said.

"Good. We can out it in action pretty soon then." Yugi said.


Rebecca had gone to her locker to get what she needed for class. She was rather upset.

'How am I supposed to win Yugi over when that bastard Yami is always hanging all over him? It's because of him that Yugi and I aren't together already. I know that Yugi really loves me, and there's no way that he would love someone like that bastard Yami! He belongs to me! I'm the only one good enough for him!' Rebecca thought angrily.

Rebecca opened her locker and found a note.

'What's this?' Rebecca asked herself. She took out the note and read it. Her eyes widened and started to shine when she read it.

Rebecca,

I know that I've been stubborn, but I've finally come to realize that you're the one that I love. You were right. Yami's not the right one for me, you are. I want you to meet me in the park two blocks from school and go to the lake where it is shaded by trees so that we can talk. Don't tell anyone. I want us to be a secret right now.

Love,

Yugi

'I knew it! I knew Yugi loved me.' Rebecca thought happily.

The day didn't pass by quick enough for Rebecca. When school ended, Rebecca threw her things into her locker and headed for the park.


"So, did she buy it?" Bakura asked.

"Oh, yeah. You should have seen her after she saw that note. She had this lovey-dovey look on her face, and she kept looking at me all day." Yugi said.

"What did you do?" Heba asked.

"Ignored her." Yugi said.

"Well, we know that she didn't say a word to anyone. After all, we would have heard if she had." Seto said.

"I think that we might need to get to the park to handle the slut." Yami said.

"Right. Let's go." Yugi said.

The group then headed for the park.


Rebecca had gone to where the note had said. She saw that no one could see in it unless a person looked inside. 'Oh, yes! I knew it! He brought me here so that he could make love to me! I'm going to have my man after all! I can't wait to rub this in Yami's face!' Rebecca thought triumphantly.

"Hey, Rebecca." Yugi said.

Rebecca turned and saw Yugi. Her eyes lit up. "I got your note. I knew that you would see things my way, Yugi darling! I knew that we were meant to be together!" Rebecca said happily. She was so immersed in her happiness that she didn't hear the snickers from the bushes or the shushing sounds.

"Well, I thought that this would be the best place for us to meet. After all, I think it only fitting to say what I wanted to say here." Yugi said.

"What's that?" Rebecca asked sweetly, thinking that he was going to profess his undying love for her.

"That you make me sick!" Yugi snapped.

Rebecca's eyes widened in horror. "W-what do you mean?" Rebecca asked, not understanding.

"Since day one you have been after me, and you have tried every underhanded stunt to get me." Yugi said.

"I did that because I love you, Yugi!" Rebecca cried.

"Rebecca, you didn't even know me! You still don't!" Yugi growled.

"I know what I need to know!" Rebecca insisted.

"Yes. I know you do. You like my looks, and you want my money." Yugi said.

"But your note." Rebecca said.

"Please." a new voice said.

Yami stepped out to stand beside Yugi.

Rebecca's eyes hardened. "What are you doing here?" Rebecca hissed.

"You are really stupid. Yugi didn't mean a word he wrote in that note. Hell, I was sitting right beside him when he wrote the thing. I only said that so he could lure you here." Yami said.

"No! That's not true!" Rebecca protested.

"Yes. It is. I could handle the fact that you kept coming onto me, but when you told the press that you and were engaged when you know good and well that you and I had never even gone out on a date. I don't even like you, and you go and say that shit!" Yugi snapped.

"I said it because it will be true one day!" Rebecca said.

"Please. I know that's a load of bull."

Rebecca looked and saw that Heba and the others were there as well.

"I know my brother, and he has known that he's gay since we were fourteen years old. He'd never be interested in a girl." Heba said.

"No. It's not true." Rebecca said, but she sounded like she was trying to convince herself of that.

Yami growled. He had had enough of this shit. "Listen up, you slut!" Yami said angrily.

Rebecca gasped at what Yami had called her.

"You have been after Yugi for nearly three months, and he has told you repeatedly that he doesn't want anything to do with you! You knew that he was dating me, and you still tried to come onto him! You have pulled every low stunt you could think of to try and get him, but none of them worked! You're obsessed with him! You don't love him! It was his looks that you liked at first! Then, when you heard that Yugi was a member of the band Hikari and Aibou, you knew that he had a lot of money, and you knew you could get that money if you two ever got married, so you decided to tell the press that you two were engaged to be married when you knew that it wasn't true!" Yami nearly shouted.

"You had hoped that by saying that to the press that I would just marry you so that I wouldn't look like a liar, but I told the truth. I am dating Yami, and I don't plan on leaving him for anyone at any time, so give it up. You never had a chance with me." Yugi said.

"You can't be serious! How do you know that he doesn't love you for the money?" Rebecca demanded, pointing accusingly at Yami.

"Rebecca, Yami and I were friends before he found out that I was in the band. I knew that he was sincere. Besides, he's never asked for anything money wise in return. In fact, all he's ever asked me for is my love, which I have already given him. Yami and I are together, and we have no plans to leave ach other." Yugi said.

Rebecca was losing her thread. She didn't want to admit defeat.

"Rebecca, everyone knows that you lied when you made the statement that we were engaged. I already dispersed that idea, and you look like the liar that you are." Yugi said angrily. He then held up the hand that he wore the promise ring that Yami had given him on. "When Yami gave me this ring, I p promised myself to him, and I am not going to change my mind. You are nothing but a lying slut. Everyone at school knows that you have slept with half of the male student body. The wealthy half. You go after people with money. Give it up. You will never have me, Rebecca. And Yami was right. I just wrote that note so that you would come here. It was a load of bullshit. I never intended to leave Yami." Yugi said.

Rebecca couldn't believe what she had heard.

"Give it up. You never had a chance with him, so leave him alone." Seto said.

Rebecca, seeing that she couldn't say anything else, turned and ran off.

"So, think that's the last we'll see of her?" Ryou asked.

"I don't know. I hope that she finally got the message this time around." Yugi said.

"I'm rather proud of you, Yami. I thought that you would have decked her after she said that you were with Yugi for the money." Atemu said.

"I wanted to. Believe me, I wanted to." Yami said.

"Well, we'll see if she got the message later." Yugi said.

The group then headed home.


"Hi, guys. You're a little late." Touma said.

"Yeah, well, we waited until after school to deal with Rebecca." Yugi said.

"I'm not getting any calls, am I?" Touma asked.

"No. We didn't even confront her at school. It was at the park. No one laid a hand on her, either. It was just words." Yugi said.

"Good. I'm glad no one hit her." Touma said.

"I wanted to, but I resisted the urge." Yami said.

"That's good. Do you think that she's going to try anything else?" Touma asked.

"I don't know yet. We'll have to wait and see." Yugi replied.

"Well, get your homework done. You're not doing anything until then." Touma said.

There were a few groans before the group headed upstairs.

Touma chuckled. 'At least a few of them don't complain.' Touma thought.


Hope you liked it. I know that the leaving a note in the locker to lure them somewhere and then blast them is a bit old and used, but I thought it would be perfect for the story.

Next: Probably will be Touma and Seiji's baby coming.

The poll is still up, so vote if you haven't.
