Chapter 2:
Meeting of Roommates:
The elevator had reached the 3rd floor first, where Yugi and Ryou will be stationed.
The two teens agreed to meet up with the others later once everyone is settled in.
When the elevator door closed behind Ryou and Yugi, they notice a small lounge area across the way.
There was a huge round table with four comfy recliners that were placed in front of a huge window that faces the back of the campus. The two boys began to head down the hall that will take them to their assign suite.
Students were bustling and hanging in the hallways enjoying their freedom away from the parents. After pushing through a crowd of students, Yugi and Ryou finally made it to their suite in one piece.
Placing a pale hand on the knob, Ryou slowly turned it and the door opened.
"I guess one of our roommates is already here" he told tri-color hair friend, who now stood 5'5. Yugi nodded, "can't wait to meet him, I hope he's nice" he stated excitedly.
Ryou gave his friend a smile as the two proceeded into the suite, closing the door behind them to block out the noises in the hallway.
When the two entered the the suite, they noticed that the door to the right of their room was open. The two turn to one another and smiled thinking it was a good idea to introduce themselves to their roommate.
Yugi led the way to the open room and knocked, letting the person know of their presence, "hello, anyone here" he asked?
Silence was the response the two had received, "hm maybe he is out and forgot to close his door" offered Ryou. "Maybe" his friend replied with a disappointing frown.
Shrugging Yugi turn to leave with Ryou until a voice stopped them, causing the two to jump in surprised. Turning, both teens smiled when they saw their roommate, leaning against the side of his dresser.
The boy gave the two a smile "hello, I take it you two are my roommates" he stated tilting his head to the side?
Yugi and Ryou gave him a smile of their own, "yes we are" answered Yugi who walked up to the tall boy.
Extending his hand the short teen began "My name is Mouto, Yugi and the white hair boy behind me is Bakura, Ryou" he introduced. Ryou walked up to the two and offer his hand to the tall boy as well.
"Tenshi, Nathaniel, it's nice to meet you both" he stated while shaking the two offered hands.
"My roommate isn't here yet, but he should arrive soon." Ryou and Yugi nodded at that, "you guys seem to know each other already" asked Ryou curiously?
The boy laughed, "yea, we knew each other since we were both 5; what about you two?'
This time Yugi smiled, "Ryou and I knew each other since junior high." Nathaniel nodded, "that's cool."
"Nathaniel, I noticed that your first name is American and your last name is Japanese" stated Ryou. The teen gave the whitenette a smile, "yea, my dad is Japanese and my mom is American, they met at a business convention."
"I lived in Japan until I was 7 and then we moved to America."
"11 years later, I am back here on scholarship" he stated proudly. "Your past sounds similar to mine, I lived in England for half my life and eventually moved to Domino, Japan with my brother" stated Ryou.
"Very cool, well anyway looks like I am holding you both up, we should defiantly talk more later" he offered. Yugi and Ryou nodded as they backed out of the room and went into theirs.
*************
On the 6th floor Bakura, Atem, and Malik were walking to their suite. All they wanted at the moment was to unpack, organize, and relax; a little R&R was all they were asking for.
When they made it to the door of thier suite, Malik pulled his keys out and began unlocking the door, allowing his friends to enter first before bringing up the rear, closing the door in the process.
Taking a look around the suite the three teens nodded their approval, "now this is what I am talking about; can't wait to see the rooms" stated Bakura who walked up to Room A and unlocked it.
Upon opening the door, Malik and Atem looked over the whitenette's shoulder and peered into the room, "spacious and carpeted, what more can I ask for" stated Malik."
"And back in the car, you were complaining about this building" stated Bakura. The blonde rolled his eyes "well, it didn't look like much from the outside."
The three teens began unpacking their staff so they can get around to organizing. "So, Malik when is your cousin coming" asked Atem who was hanging his clothes up in the closet.
The blonde joined his friend, "according to Ishizu, he should be up later today; something came up so he couldn't get here sooner." The spiky hair teen nodded, as he entered his room with Malik.
Bakura was putting his clothes away in the dresser while Atem was getting ready to set up the television and DVD .
"Just ought of curiosity, what is he like" asked Bakura turning to face the Egyptian, who much to his annoyance was lounging on his already made-up bed.
Studying his fingernails the young Egyptian began, "well, all I can say is that you and Marik would get along great Bakura, your interests are very similar."
This perked Bakura's interests "do go on Ishtar" he offered. The blonde gave him a smile, "well, he likes to cause havoc, likes sharp things, more psycho than you though, but once look past his flaws he can be a decent guy."
Once the television and DVD player is hooked up, Atem sat down on his made bed, "in other words not only I will have to watch over Bakura but I will also have to watch over Marik, making sure the two steer clear of trouble."
Malik threw the tri-color teen an insulted look, "well don't forget about me Atem, in comparison to the two of them, I am more responsible; besides if it makes you feel any better I can watch over Marik and you Bakura."
"Like I have any choice in the matter, though I guess it's better to watch over one psycho let alone two."
Bakura's eye began to twitch, "you both make it sound like Marik and I are irresponsible people that need to be constantly babysat like a bunch of 5 year olds; that is downright degrading if you ask me."
Both teens gave the white hair teen identical skeptical looks "no offense Bakura, but you aren't exactly what us responsible people would call responsible; though not knowing Marik personally I can't really say the same for him."
He continued, "besides if we don't watch you, who knows what chaos you might ensue."
Malik nodded his head simultaneously, "he's right, you're no angel Kura; think about all the pranks you pulled back in high school."
A frowned marred on his tan face as he took in Bakura's proud look as he continued, "your brother, Atem here, as well as myself always had to bail your ass out."
Bakura's proud look turn into a glare which he aimed at the Egyptian teen "you're the one to talk, Ishtar, if memory serves you were just as guilty when it came to those pranks; hell half of them were your idea; so stop making your-self look like a martyr."
Atem released a sad sigh as an argument had erupted once again between the two, looks like I have to watch over three children instead of two; aren't I lucky he thought with a growl.
