Ever After
Not Alone
Domino Private Academy was basically a school for the rich, so it was very rare to have new students or to see an unfamiliar face.
Yami frowned at the rare sight of someone he didn't know in his classroom. It wasn't just that this person was unfamiliar, but that he was sitting in Yami's seat and was the most unkempt person Yami had ever had the misfortune to lay eyes on, not to mention that, just like at the café, this boy seemed much more vivid and bright then his surroundings. The spiky haired teen walked swiftly toward the new-comer and planted himself next to him. "Excuse me, I understand that you might be new, but we have assigned seating and this just happens to be MY seat. I would very much appreciate it if you moved."
The boy glanced in Yami's general direction, his long white hair obscuring most of his face, but Yami could have sworn it was Ryou, at least until he spoke. "I know who's seat it is." He now slid his feet of the desk and sat up and faced Yami fully. He looked him up and down and his scowl grew more intense with each sweep of his eyes. "Hmph. Not what I expected. Kinda shrimpy if you ask me."
"E-excuse me!" Yami sputtered, completely appalled and taken aback at the new students brashness.
Another voice butted in from behind the teen. "I agree. Doesn't look like he can hold his own at all."
Yami swirled around and jumped back in surprise. Another new person was standing right behind him and was way too close for comfort, not only that, but he also looked strikingly like Malik.
"I'll have you know that I have been studying martial art for years!"
The Ryou look-a-like hmphed. "Whatever. Let's go Marik. I've seen enough here." He headed for the door and his companion followed.
"Hey!" Yami called out. "What's your problem!"
Both boys stopped and the white haired male glanced back slightly. "My problem? My problem is that Old Man Solomon is an optimistic fool." And they left before Yami could process his words.
'How does he know Solomon? Could that mean he isn't human either?' Yami gasped at his own revelation and rushed toward the door. Only to find the halls slowly filling up and no new students in sight.
For the rest of the day Yami was a paranoid wreck. Constantly searching for those two boys. He was certain they had something to do with magic and he wanted to find out what. By the end of his last class Yami was exhausted and ready to just go home.
"Alright everyone! Don't forget about the paper due at the end of the week!" The teacher called out as class ended and students filed out.
Yami gathered his things and was headed for the door, but stopped in his tracks at the sight of the Malik look-a-like standing just across the hall, looking right at him. Their eyes met and the look-a-like gave a slight nod and headed left. Yami rushed out and fell into place beside him.
The boys were silent until they were outside and headed in the direction of Yamis home.
"So you're the one."
Yami frowned. "One what?"
"That Solomon is going to train. The first human magician in hundreds of years."
"I suppose so." Yami shrugged. "Who are you, anyway?"
"Marik." He answered.
Yami nodded slowly. "You're not human."
Marik nodded, but said nothing.
"Why did you and your friend approach me? And who is he?"
Marik chuckled. "I wouldn't call him my 'friend' exactly. But he is Bakura, we are more like….. partners. We approached you because you are a curiosity and we were bored."
"So let me get this straight. You tracked me down, dressed in my schools uniform, and trespassed on private property. Just because you were bored!"
Marik turned and gave an animal like grin. "Of course." The boys stopped as they came to the gate guarding the Sennen property. "Well, this is where I leave you. Tell Malik I say 'hello' when you see him." And Marik ran off down the street, leaving Yami as confused as ever.

Ok, so long absence was long, I apologize! (Bows head in shame) But college has been really hectic and my love life finally took off. Those are my excuses and I'm sticking to them!
