Yay! New chapter! I would like to thank my friend Lightningflame11 for her continued support (both on and off screen), and congratulate and apologize to Crystal4060 about her 1st story! Kingdom hearts twisted is awesome so far, and Im sorry I did not read it sooner. Thank you everyone for reading up to this point, I would like to let you know that it means the world to me. Also, in a previous chapter I said that this story would end at chapter 10 or something. I would like to inform you that this is false. My new plans will lead me past the 10-chapter mark but i'm not sure how much farther. Anyway, on to the story!

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or 4-square either, I don't own pickles but that doesn't matter… or does it?

(Thinking)

"Speaking"

!

The history teacher was a shortish male that went by the name Mr.'Geko '. Yugi did not know if that was his real name put since everyone rolled with it, he did too. The class was blissfully easy as Yugi finished his guided reading with half the class left. He ended up working with his new-found friends. Well, if giving them the answers counted as 'working with'. Yugi found out that the blond boy's name was Jou and the other's is Honda. After checking their work with the answer key Mr.'Gecko' provided, Jou found it necessary to explain his entire day to Yugi as Honda stared at the same blue-haired girl that was in Yugi's LA class. Apparently both Jou and Honda had a class with Yami earlier that morning and since \Yugi had the same starfish hair A/N THE HAIR! Yami does, Jou and Honda recognized him immediately.

"Plus,"Jou added after explaining this to Yugi, "Any enemy of Anzu is a friend of mine"

RING the lunch bell rang.

"Come on Yug' , I already told Yami were to meet us in the lunch room." Jou continued to drag Yugi and Honda out of the room.

"W-wait! What about my books?" Yugi stuttered.

"Dont be silly!" Jou remarked,"We come back to this class after lunch to get our stuff. So hurry up! I don't want to be late!"

"Yah,' Hond chimed in, after coming out of his girl-induced trans," better not keep Jou from his food for very long." YUgi grabbed his lunch box from under his desk before being dragged all the way to the lunch room. Unconsciously, YUgi winced at the thought of lunch. Not only was he banished to the 'bullies table' but some of the other students liked to inflict verbal damage as well. And of course the teachers didn't care so there was no use trying to get out of it. Neither Honda nor Jou realized this. However, someone else did. When Yugi and Yami were left alone at the table when Jou and Honda got in line to get lunch Yami wasted no time.

"What's wrong Yugi?" The smaller of the two was startled out of his thoughts and almost fell out of his chair.

"N-nothing!" he stuttered, still slightly alarmed.

"Yugi"

"Its just," Yugi sighed in utter defeat, "bad memories, that all." Yami looked down at his Yugi's trembling hand that rested on the table. ( My poor Hikari ) Yami opened his mouth to comfort the shaking pre-teen but was cut off by Jou's scream.

"WHAT IS THIS!?" Jou yelled, slamming his lunch tray on the table across from the other boys. "ONLY ONE HAMBURGER?!"

"I KNOW RIGHT!" Honda continued. "AND THERE NOT EVEN THAT GOOD EITHER!" Yami smiled and Yugi found it hard not to laugh. After the taller boys' rant about how bad the school lunches are, the bell rang for the next class. Recess. Yugi always hated recess. He shuddered at the thought of the one corner of the playground at his old school that the teachers never watched. He swore that 100 years of rain could not wash away the stains the bullies but there. His discomfort did not go unnoticed. Honda and Jou ran ahead to get a basketball to play with as Yami grabbed Yugi's uninjured hand A/N Yami does not know that his other hand is hurt, it was just a coincidence and started to pull him forwards towards the playground.

"Y-yami…"Yugi trailed off, not resisting Yamu's pull.

"Yes aibou?" Yami asked, a smile growing on his face.

"Ah… do i have to go to the playground?" Yugi asked quietly

"Yes, Honda and Jou are waiting, and if anyone tries to hurt again their heads won't be on straight by the time I'm done with them." Yami said this so gently and playfully that Yugi giggled out a strangled 'O.K' as they approached the playground. Jou and Honda called them over.

"Hey! What took so long?" Jou yelled.

"Come on! Lets play 4-square!" Honda invited. After teaching Yami the rules of basic game play, the game began. To say in short: Jou was the poopen king for the ENTIRE game. And believe-it-or-not, Honda was even worse that Yami even though it was Yami's 1st try at the game. Honda ended up in square 1, while Yami stayed in 2, and Yugi challenged the king in square 3. However, Yami did not notice how he was holding up in the game. Instead he was focused on his aibou's smile as the teachers herded the students back inside for their next class.

!

Yugi's happy again! But I have two questions: #1 did I spell 'aibou' right? #2 What are you supposed to do on a forum? (I feel so clueless : ( ) oh well. Thanks for reading!

R&R :p
