Me: "Hey, wondering where I've been?"

Jay: "No, they don't care about you. Their probably angry that you left them for a week."

Me: *cries*

Jay: "Stop… stop crying!" … "Ok, I'm sorry. Hug?"

Free: "So the hot headed beast does have a guilt button. Interesting."

Jumping a week or two ahead

Yami watched as Yugi buttoned up the white shirt he was wearing, soon followed by a blue jacket that was required for the school uniform. He didn't look happy in it, but Yami thought it made him look cuter than usual. If that was even possible for Yugi.

"Stop staring, your making me nervous!" Yugi glared at Yami as he looked himself over in the mirror.

"Alright, alright." Yami laughed.

"This outfit needs something…" Yugi muttered to himself before he walked out of the room.

Yami sighed with a smile before following the young teen to see what he was up to. The only problem was that he already lost track of him. But by the sounds of the loud rattling he knew Yugi was in his room. He waited by the stairs, knowing Yugi wouldn't want him hovering. That's something he figured out about him. Yugi did not like being followed or watched for a long period of time.

"Ha! Perfect!" Yugi said from inside the room before he came out. He gave a little twirl for Yami. "So, what do you think?"

Yami first noticed the black leather buckle around Yugi's neck, then his eyes lowered to a loose belt hanging around his hips.

"Se- nice." Yami coughed, feeling the blush come to his face.

"Yeah I think so too." Yugi smiled proudly before the two went downstairs and into the front yard where the car was parked.

"Shotgun!" Yugi called as he ran to the car.

"Of course you have shotgun, you don't even have your license!" Yami joked as he hurried after him.

The two chatted about classes all the way to the school and Yami even told Yugi which teachers to watch out for. They were so caught up in talking that Yami almost forgot to answer his phone which was ringing.

"Hello?" he asked as he pulled into the school parking lot with only one hand.

"Hey sweetie." Yami's mom voice came out from the phone. "I just called because I wanted to talk to Yugi. You know, we need to get him a cell phone. In fact, I'm going to buy him one today. Do you think he wants some new clothes as well? Oh, and maybe-"

"MOM!" Yami yelled to quit his mom from babbling.

"Sorry." she huffed. "Anyways, give him the phone please."

Yami moaned, but handed the phone to Yugi who took it slowly and put it to his ear. He began talking to Yami's mom, but Yami couldn't hear what they were saying. He motioned for Yugi to get out of the car and he did while still talking on the phone. Yami watched as Yugi laughed and chatted excitedly to Yami's mom. He didn't even realize Yugi had hung up the phone until he shoved it into his face.

"What was that about?" Yami asked curiously.

He never knew someone who could make his mom talk on the phone like that. She didn't really like people that much. Heck she barely liked her ex husband when they were tied down.

"Oh, she was just telling me not to be nervous and stuff." Yugi smiled to himself. "She also said that if anyone gave me trouble she'd come down here and personally beat the shit out of them." he giggled and blushed.

"I'd feel sorry for those people." Yami laughed. "But don't worry. If anyone does something or says something to you, you come to me and I'll deal with them."

"Thanks Yami." Yugi smiled gratefully.

Yami smiled back and they walked in the school together. It wasn't long before the were hounded out by Joey, Tea, and Tristan. (A/N- Don't worry, if Tea is in any of my stories she'll die like the bitch she is.) Joey, already having met Yugi, gave him a noogie and a smack on the back.

"Hey Yug!" Joey smiled. "I'm happy your goin' to school with us. Now we can have more fun."

"Yeah, fun, that's what we have." Yugi rolled his eyes, only making Tristan laugh.

Yugi turned to him, obviously not knowing who he was or the girl that stood beside him.

"I'm Tristan by the way." he stuck out his hand which Yugi hesitantly shook. "And that's Tea." he motioned to the brunette who was watching him curiously.

Yugi held his hand out to her, but instead was pulled into a giant hug.

"Joey's right. You look like fun." she emphasized.

The rest of the gang glared at her, knowing what she had on her mind.

"He will not be having any fun with you." Yami snarled as he grabbed Yugi's wrist and brought him to his side.

Tea pouted, but she knew she would get him in bed, one way or another.

"We also have two other friends, but I don't see them-" Yami began, but was soon tackled by a girl with long dark brown wispy hair that had two ribbons on each side and misty gray eyes.

She then hugged Joey and Tristan, but ignored Tea.

"Yami, I found her." Joey announced as he grabbed the girls arm.

Yami rolled his eyes. "Yugi this is Talim. Talim this is Yugi."

Talim turned to Yugi and looked at him for a second then squealed in delight and grabbed Yugi in a death grip of a hug.

"You are the cutest thing I have ever seen! I love you already!" she giggled as she swayed back and forth with Yugi in her arms.

Yugi looked towards the group nervously. He wasn't sure what to do so just stood there and let Talim hug the daylights out of him. When she pulled away she placed a kiss on Yugi's cheek and smiled at him thoughtfully. This only made Yugi blush as if red hot embers were embedded on his face.

"Um, thanks." he said, still eyeing Talim unsurely.

"Cute!" she squealed again. "Too cute." her smile still lingered on her face. "And how old are you?" she asked.

"Sixteen."

"Cute!"

"Is that all you can say about him? Cute?" Joey asked with a laugh.

"No better way to describe him." she shrugged before taking a glance at the wall clock. "Shoot, I have to get to class. But I'll see you guys at lunch." she waved.

Before she left she kissed Yugi on the cheek again and purred, "Cute." before skipping off down the hall.

"Jeez Yug, you've only been here for like six minutes and you already have the chicks swarming ya." Joey gawked at the young teen who was still blushing.

"Even my mom loves him." Yami said.

"Wow, now that's sayin' somethin'." Joey grinned. "That woman neva liked me and I neva known why."

"Why don't you ask your stomach then. I'm sure it has the answer." Yami smirked at his friend.

Joey was always nice to his mom and all, but he always left the fridge and the cabinets empty when Yami lived with his mom. They haven't been on good terms since.

"Eh forget it guys. Time to go to class." Tristan reminded them.

They all asked Yugi which class he had first and waited for him to get his schedule out of his new backpack. Yami was just happy they got him registered and got all his papers the other day so he wouldn't have to bother with it now. It turned out he had first period with Joey.

"Alright!" Joey smiled as he clapped Yugi on the back.

Yugi looked at Yami, "Can I get a new schedule?"

"Ouch Yug, I'm offended." Joey clutched his heart dramatically. "Nah, too bad your with me kid." he slung his arm around Yugi's shoulders and began walking him to class.

"Watch out for him, Joey!" Yami called after them.

"Don't get your panties in a knot, I got em." he replied before disappearing down the next hallway.

Yami couldn't help but feel concerned about the young teen as he and the others made their way to their own classes.

Jay: "Talim sounds like a bundle of fun."

Me: "Ha. She's easily impressed."

Talim: "I resent that."

Jay: "Eh who cares. So you like Yugi?"

Talim: "CUTE!"

Jay: "Somehow I expected that…"

Free: "Well I agree with you Talim. Anyhow hope you enjoyed and please review."
