Spirit Partner 02. Prompt: club.
~(*)~
Yuugi was relatively quiet for the rest of the walk to the school. He would suspiciously pause at the entrances to alleyways, and make a weird clicking sound with his tongue.
"We don't have time for this," Atem grumbled and sped up his walk. "Leave the shadows alone and hurry up."
"The shadows can be dangerous," Yuugi replied. "It would be wise not to ignore them."
"It's seven in the morning; the only things dangerous this early are coffee-addicts and bus drivers."
"You do not yet see."
"See what? That you're being annoying?"
His spirit partner made a sound that was stuck in between being offended and exasperated. Atem held back the urge to apologize. He wasn't normally so...tactless, but with all these strange things happening he couldn't find it in himself to think before he spoke. Yuugi was, no matter what he claimed, a delusion caused by stress anyway.
Yuugi made nor more attempts at talking, and Atem hurried on his way. The school was just around the next block. He was going to have to be in some resemblance of a decent mood before he got there. The lady in the office checked him in with a tired smile, and Atem briskly walked to the classroom the meeting was in.
"Wait," Atem paused and looked over his shoulder at his spirit partner. "There is something..." Yuugi's voice trailed off before an amused smile spread across his face. "Never mind, go on ahead."
"Please behave today," Atem murmured as he stopped in front of the door. He took a deep breath and said a prayer for his sanity. He knocked on the door, and slid it open.
"Excuse me, is this where 'Cave Exploration' is...meeting," his entrance was met by five people, four of them wearing his school uniform, plus one aggravating teacher. Behind all of the students were a translucent creature, each varying in size and, apparently, species. His spirit partner's laughter made his temper flare, and he pivoted to stop right back out the door.
"That's it!"
