I felt I needed to update this. And I really only have one with yami-hikari interactions. So here is a more light hearted one.

And I'm half-way there! HAHA!

Almost-Dirty

School just seemed like a blur to Yugi. Between Duel Monsters tournaments, dealing with Ancient Egyptian magic, classmates with evil darker sides inhabiting them, and a crazy Egyptian who felt that killing the pharaoh would justify his isolation from the outside world, school was a very mundane problem. Since the events of Battle City ended and school started up after spring break, things settled down. Malik and his family went back to Egypt, Mai ran off to return to her life, Serenity went back with her mother, and Yugi and his friends went back to school.

Science was not the number one thing on Yugi's list of things to do after dealing with a week of chaos.

He glanced around the classroom, many of his classmates taking notes on the PowerPoint presentation. Duke was looking absentmindedly out the window. Ryou was writing furiously in his notebook, as was Anzu. Jou was doodling on a piece of loose leaf. Honda wasn't in their class this year, which in some ways was a good thing because Jou would be even more distracted. Yugi smiled softly at the sight and glanced down at his notebook. He took some notes, but mostly doodled pictures of the Millennium Items, Duel Monsters cards, and Anzu's name with hearts surrounding the letters.

"Why aren't you paying attention, Yugi?" The pharaoh's sudden voice caused Yugi to jump, stirring some of his classmates. One gave him a funny stare but looked back at the teacher.

"Science just doesn't interest me."

Yami suddenly appeared in astral form next to Yugi and looked at the slide show. "You aren't interested in the planets?"

"Not really, no."

Yami frowned. "I think I remember from the trip to the museum that constellations and the planets were very important to the Egyptians."

Yugi stifled a yawn. "It's just not my thing, sorry."

"So you aren't interested in Mars or Pluto or Uranus?"

A bubble of giggles suddenly threatened to escape Yugi's mouth.

"What's so funny?" Yami scrunched his brow and frowned at his hikari. "I just said I'm interested in Uranus."

Yugi couldn't control his laughter.

"Mr. Motu!" The teacher barked.

Yugi stiffened, but couldn't hold back his grin. "Yes?"

"Is their something funny you'd like to share with the class?"

The violet-eyed boy fell silent and looked at his notes.

Jou looked at Yugi, then the slide show, and cracked a smile. "I think I know why he's laughing, teach."

"And why is that Mr. Wheeler?"

Joey almost couldn't contain his laughter. "Just that fact that you keep talking about Uranus."

The class erupted in stifled giggles—some real, some mock laughing at the "grade school" joke—and chortles.

"That is enough!" The teacher yelled. "Mr. Motu, would you be so kind to keep your head out of the gutter and pay attention! This is not fifth grade!"

He nodded his head slightly, a blush slowly filling his cheeks.

"I still don't understand what is so funny about Uranus." Yami said in a tired voice.

Yugi kept his head down and copied the notes from the presentation. "I'll explain it when we get home."

I couldn't stop laughing while writing this. Why yes, I do still think Uranus jokes are funny. XD This one is longer, but that's okay.

Review?

Over and out,
