:I know you guys tell me not to say sorry, but with this chapter I simply have to. School is really hard due to all the tests and essay's that are next week, and it's been killing me! So, I'm sorry this is really late, but I hope the content of this chapter makes up for it! I hope you enjoy!:
Yugi couldn't sleep, he could, but he couldn't. After showing the two royals around the school with Anzu, they had separated for the day and went on with classes like it was a normal day. He went to sleep, and he was sleeping just fine until this morning. He grabbed at his pillow, placing it over his head to cover his ears. Yes, he would have slept fine, if it wasn't for his silver haired friend who wouldn't stop pacing the damn floorboard! He cringed every time he heard the footsteps walking heavily back and forth in the room, wanting to kill Bakura. Couldn't the idiot go back to sleep?! He heard Bakura take a step, the noise making a thump that seemed as if it was louder than the previous steps. Yugi jerked his body up, grabbing his pillow and hurling it at Bakura, making the poor boy let out a surprised yell and land on his butt as it landed on his face.
"Will you stop your pathetic pacing?!" Yugi yelled, not caring if he woke up their neighboring students. Bakura groaned and sat up, removing the pillow from his face. Yugi narrowed his eyes at his friend. "Why are you even up at this time? It's like..." He turned his eyes to their alarm clock. "Five in the god forsaken morning!"
"I know that!" Bakura yelled back, glaring at his short friend. He narrowed his eyes, shaking his head, knowing he shouldn't get mad at his friend. He had been getting on his own nerves to tell the truth. He stood up slowly, holding the pillow to his side. "I'm just...nervous, I guess..." He grumbled, trying to make it soft so Yugi couldn't hear him. Sadly, he did. Yugi sighed, tearing the blanket off of him and jumping down from his bunk. He did a quick stretch, his blue pajamas moving with his actions. He stopped, his eyes widening as he took a better look at Bakura. His friend, who would usually wait until the last minute to wake up like Joey, was fully clothed already? This wasn't right.
"Is something wrong?" Yugi asked, his voice now concerned instead of angry. He took a step to his friend, taking hold of his shoulders. "Is there a big test today that you're worried about? I could help you study." Bakura let out a small smile at the offer, shaking his head in response. "Homework?" Again, Bakura shook his head. "What is it then?" Yugi watched his friend bite his lip, darting his eyes to the side. This wasn't Bakura, what was going on with his friend?
"Yugi, I..." Bakura uttered out, he took a deep breath and shook his head. "I don't know what to do." He moved the pillow he held to the center of his body, holding it close to him as if it was something he cared for. Yugi was worried sick now. He took hold of Bakura's wrist, moving him to his desk. Bakura obediently sat down, his arms firmly around the pillow. He turned his head, smirking slightly at the fact that the flowers that the prince had given Yugi looked to be in perfect health.
"I see you're taking care of the roses." Bakura commented, chuckling when Yugi began to flush a small shade of red. His friend glared at him, telling him with his eyes not to change the subject.
"What's wrong, Bakura?" Yugi asked, looking him in the eye. With Bakura sitting down, him and his friend were at level ground. It was easier to communicate this way, and he knew it was a good way to get the words out easier. Bakura sighed, breathing in and breathing out slowly before he worked up the courage to speak.
"Do you..." Bakura breathed out again. "Do you remember the quiz event, you know, on Wednesday?" Yugi nodded, it was only two days ago, how would he forget? He couldn't forget anyway, not after what happened on that day. Yugi had to force his face to calm down. Bakura licked his lips.
"Well, Malik kind of...He uh..." Bakura scratched the back of his head, one arm still holding the pillow. "He forced me to take the quiz, and we got an average score...He wasn't too happy about that, and I felt bad for him, for some reason." Bakura returned his other arm to the pillow, holding it close to him. "So, we agreed to spend time together today." Yugi's eyes widened, oh. He rose an eyebrow at the nervous teen.
"And you're worried, why exactly?" Yugi crossed his arms, his eyebrow still risen. Bakura's eyes widened, didn't he know why? They had known each other for a while now, he should know why!
"Because-"
"If it's because you're worried that Malik doesn't want to spend time with you, then you're mistaken. He's completely-"
"No, it's-"
"Or if it's because you think that you shouldn't hang out with him because you're a commoner and he's-"
"Yugi, I've never been on a date!" Bakura blurted out, halting the boys words. Yugi blinked at him, shocked by his outburst.
"Yeah, you have."
"No, I haven't!"
"You went to that lunch thing with Malik, why is it so different now?"
"Because we'll actually be out, and..." Bakura mumbled, not sure how to word it. Yugi smiled, finding it amusing to find his friend flustered over something like a date. But then again, he might be the same when he goes on his first real date. Would he ever get a first date? Yugi shrugged at the question, he wasn't sure that he would anytime soon.
"Bakura, you'll be fine." Yugi reassured his friend, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "You're funny, you're a natural flirt, you're attractive, and Malik is already putty in your hands, so don't worry about it." Bakura felt his face burn as he turned his head to the side.
"I don't want him to be putty in my hands..." Bakura grumbled. "I just want to hang out with him." He pouted, making Yugi chuckle.
"But you called it a date, so it's not just hanging out."
"It's not a date if I don't like him back."
"But you called it a date, therefore you like him back."
"I regret waking you up now."
"Good. You should." Yugi recrossed his arms, smirking at his pouting and blushing friend. Bakura felt his lips form a smile against his will, this little bastard always made him feel better. He forced his lips to stop their smiling and looked at Yugi.
"You think I'm attractive?" Bakura questioned, raising an eyebrow at him. Yugi let out a chuckle, knowing what he was doing. He uncrossed his arms, placing a arm on either side of Bakura's head, leaning on the back of the chair.
"Oh, definitely." Yugi purred, leaning closer to his friend, who was trying to hold in his laughter. Yugi was having trouble himself, but he was managing his voice pretty well. "I'm finding it very hard to restrain myself from tackling you right now." Bakura almost lost it, but kept his cool and smirked back at his small friend.
"No one's going to stop you." Bakura flirted back, his voice low as Yugi leaned closer to him. Yugi let out a chuckle.
"True." Yugi whispered, his eyes darting to the side for a second. "I guess I'll just have to-"
"Okay, enough of that!" A voice yelled from a lower bunk, jerking the blanket off of him. Yugi and Bakura turned their eyes to find Joey whipping himself up quickly, smacking his head on the top bunk. He groaned, rubbing at his head and lowering it to avoid getting hurt again. He rose his free hand and pointed at the two of them.
"I am not going to sit here while you two go and molest each other!"
"Oh, you're awake. Good morning, Joey."
"Oh yeah! Good morning to you too, Mr. Horny bastard!"
"Hey, Yugi came on to me."
"You weren't denying it."
"Well duh, who would deny a little cutie like you?"
"Stop flirting with each other already!"

Anzu narrowed her eyes in confusion as she sat the breakfast table with her three friends. Bakura and Yugi were chuckling like crazy and Joey looked like someone had crapped in his cereal bowl. She darted her eyes to their breakfast selections, Yugi had gotten oatmeal, but when he tried to eat, he would just laugh again. Bakura had gotten eggs and toast, but he hadn't touched it yet. And Joey had got a breakfast roll, but was squeezing it to death in his grip. Anzu whistled, stirring her yogurt and looking to the side.
"So..." Anzu spoke, gaining the attention of the three boys. "Would someone like to tell me why Joey looks like a sick puppy?" Yugi and Bakura burst out laughing while Joey just glared at them, his eye twitching in annoyance of the two. She sighed, placing her yogurt down and waiting for an answer. She crossed her arms, waiting for the two boys to calm their laughter down. Finally, Yugi calmed down first and began to speak.
"This morning, Bakura was up and worried about something." Yugi began to explain. "So, I got up and asked what was up with him. He told me, and then him and I began to do our normal thing, which is to annoy Joey in the most inappropriate way possible." Anzu rolled her eyes, she should have guessed. Joey's eyes widened, before they narrowed at the two other boys and he stood up, slamming his hands on the table.
"You two assholes knew I was awake all along, didn't you?!" He yelled, gaining the stares of a few other students who were trying to eat. Bakura nodded while Yugi just began to laugh again. Anzu began to giggle, their laughter infectious. She didn't have to ask what they did to annoy Joey. What they did was probably act like they were going to do something naughty, and with Joey being gay, and the fact that he used to have a crush on Yugi, whenever Bakura and Yugi did something like that together it got on Joey's nerves. It would either piss him off, or turn him on. Sometimes, it was both and that was when the two would lose it the most.
"Well, look who's lively today." A voice called out to the four. Joey and Anzu rose their heads to the voice, their eyes widening at who had spoke. She blushed, lowering her head before she took a quick breath intake through her nose and lifted her head back up.
"Good morning, Mana, Atemu." Anzu greeted, a smile on her face as she nodded to them in greeting. The two royals smiled back at her, happy to see that the little group was happy this morning. Atemu rose an eyebrow, or well, most of the group was happy. The blonde one looked like crap. He felt Mana touch his shoulder, indicating she was going to leave his side.
Mana walked to the direction of Anzu, grabbing at a nearby chair and placing it next to her so she could be beside her. Anzu scooted over slightly, allowing the royal to get closer to her. Mana smiled brightly at Anzu, whispering out a good morning to her with a wink. Anzu blushed, nodding at her again.
Atemu looked down to Yugi, placing himself at his side and tapping the small laughing boy on the shoulder. Yugi stopped his laughing, looking up to see the royal. His left over laughter was cut off immediately, his face displaying utter surprise. Bakura looked almost the same, what was the royal siblings doing here at the table?
"Oh..." Yugi gasped out, blinking in shock as he stared up at the royal. "Hey, Atemu." Atemu's eyes widened, his face turning a slight shade of red. He should have been used to this by now, the beauty was calling him by his name all day yesterday! Yugi rose an eyebrow at this, watching as the prince covered his mouth and cheeks, as if trying to hide his red face from him. He watched Atemu inhale deeply before exhaling.
"Good morning, Yugi." Atemu calmly greeted, his voice smooth as if he had never been flustered. "You look well today." Yugi wanted to laugh again, the prince seemed nervous. He admitted that he was shocked at first, but he didn't care anymore. Like he had said previously, the royal was a human. He didn't have to be so scared, and he didn't need to hate him really. He couldn't hate him anymore actually, he could get mad at him. But Yugi couldn't bring himself to say he hated him anymore, he was just a strange friend now.
"Thank you." Yugi smiled, grabbing at the spoon that rested in his oatmeal. "You look fine today as well." He could have sworn he heard Atemu inhale sharply, as if shocked to hear such a statement from him. Atemu could have sworn he just had a heart attack! He just said that he looked fine today?! He was complimenting him? What happened to his Yugi, he didn't mind the change at all, but was it because of what had happened the other day? Did he really break through his precious Yugi's barrier?
"T-Thank you." Atemu breathed out, he looked to the side, noticing his sister sitting and talking with Anzu. He looked to Bakura, who sat next to Yugi. "Do you mind if I grab a chair and sit in-between you and Yugi?" Bakura rose an eyebrow, shrugging and scooting over for the royal. Atemu smiled in thanks, grabbing a nearby chair and placing it in-between the two friends. He sat down, placing an elbow on the table and darting his eyes to Yugi, he was surprised to find Yugi already looking at him. He had to restrain himself not to let out another gasp.
"Not to be rude." Yugi spoke, again shocking the poor prince. Yugi always wanted to be rude to him, well not yesterday, but really, Atemu was going to die at this rate! "But why are you here?" Atemu and Mana let out a nervous chuckle, knowing that they were going to be asked this by one of them. Three of them were curious, Joey, on the other hand, was more interested in his food now. He was glad to have the distraction so the two flirting friends would stop laughing at him.
"Well, you see..." Mana began. "Malik was making a lot of racket..." Bakura's eyes shot to Mana, his interest in the conversation quickly perking up.
"Why?" Bakura questioned, slightly concerned for Malik. Mana smiled at him, knowing that Malik and him had something going on between them. It was natural for him to worry.
"Well, for one he was pissing off Seto with a weird question." Mana told him, making Atemu let out a laugh.
"Yeah. I couldn't believe he asked Seto out of everyone." Atemu laughed. "I would think he would ask at least you, Mana." Mana shot a look at her brother, letting out a giggle. How thoughtful of him, but she wouldn't know what to say to Malik if he had asked her the question.
"What'd he ask?" Anzu questioned, wanting to keep the conversation on track. Atemu looked at her, laughing still. He calmed himself, taking a deep breath before he took a side look at Yugi, knowing that he was looking at him to stay involved in the conversation. How adorable...
"He asked; 'What do I do on a date?'" Atemu answered, a smirk coming onto his face. Bakura felt his face flush, no way. "He was begging Seto to bestow knowledge onto him, it kind of made him angry due to it being around...What time was it?" Atemu turned to Mana for help. She looked up in thought for a quick moment.
"Oh!" Mana gasped out. "It was, I believe, around four in the morning." Wow, Bakura thought, that's earlier than him! Malik was worried about it too? He felt a warmth envelop his heart, it made him feel good to know that he wasn't the only one worried about the date thing.
"We would have stayed, because he was beginning to quiet down around six." Atemu continued. Yugi looked up quickly at the prince, having been distracted by his food.
"Wait, Wait." Yugi interrupted, he narrowed his eyes at the prince. "He kept doing this for more than 2 hours?" The two royal siblings let out a stiff chuckle.
"Sadly, yes." Mana told him. Yugi furrowed his eyebrows together in concern, he stood up, gaining the attention of everyone at the table. He began to walk off, only for Atemu to grab his wrist. Yugi turned around slightly, looking at the royal, who was looking up at him in a confused matter.
"Yugi, are you okay?" Atemu whispered. Yugi blinked in shock, was he worried? Well, he did just randomly get up. He narrowed his eyes, smiling down at the royal sweetly. Atemu's face began to glow in a color that rivaled his eyes.
"I'm fine." Yugi answered, his voice smooth and soft. "I'm just going to go get something for you two, I'll be right back, okay?" Atemu's mouth ran dry, he nodded at him, letting him go and allowing him to walk off. He turned his head back around, blinking at what had just happened.
"That's new." Bakura grumbled, shocked slightly. "I thought he hated you, but I guess I should have figured that he didn't." Atemu nodded in agreement, he had told himself that he knew that Yugi didn't hate him. But he had never been absolutely sure. He was so happy, these past few days he was making so much progress and it was making him feel so strange. He liked Yugi being nice to him, he liked it a lot.
"I knew that Yug' stopped hating the guy a while ago." Joey spoke, stopping his little silent game. "If he hated you," He pointed at Atemu. "He wouldn't take such good care of those flowers you gave him." Okay, now Atemu really didn't know what to think. He took care of the flowers?!
"Well, the flowers both of you sent were beautiful." Anzu commented. "I still have mine on my desk in my room." Mana furrowed her eyebrows together at that.
"I don't remember seeing them in your room." Mana said, her tone confused. Anzu let out a giggle.
"Well, maybe you weren't paying attention to my room."
"You were in the room, of course I wouldn't pay attention to it."
"It is my room, why wouldn't I be in it?"
"You were in her room?" Bakura asked, smirking in amusement at this knowledge. Mana smiled proudly and nodded.
"Yup, she let me in herself." Mana told him, smiling brightly. Anzu flushed in embarrassment at that. She didn't mind her telling him, but since he was a pervert he would come up with weird images.
"Good job, princess." Bakura chuckled. "You got further than your brother here and he's supposed to be a Pharaoh." Atemu glared at him harshly, while the other people at the table began to laugh at the statement. He opened his mouth to say something, only to feel something warm get sat on the top of his head. He gestured his head to tilt upward, feeling the object stay in place until it began to rest on his temple when he looked up. He blinked up at the image of Yugi looking down at him with an amused grin, a strange brown and white cup resting on his temple while another one was in his opposite hand.
"Hello there." Yugi chuckled, making Atemu blush. "Here, I got you guys some coffee." He lifted the cup off of the royal's head, handing it to him instead. Atemu whispered out a thank you, not knowing how to respond to Yugi being kind to him. He was going to have to get used to it, but it was still going to take a while. Anything Yugi did made him blush, could he get sent to the doctor for blushing too much? Could he get overheated from such a thing? He watched as Yugi handed over the other cup to Mana, who uttered out a small thank you.
"I didn't know what you two would want in your coffee," Yugi said, grimacing slightly. "So, I guessed. Sorry, if you don't like it." The royal siblings said it was fine, smiling at him in thanks. Atemu took a drink of his, finding it not too sweet, and not too bitter. It was an odd flavor at first, but it was quite good after a few sips. This was coffee? He didn't understand why Yugi got up to get this for him, but he assumed that he knew best.
"It's so sweet." Mana hummed happily. "What'd you put in it?" Yugi let out a relieved sigh.
"I put cream and sugar in yours," Yugi smiled. "A lot of it." Anzu blinked in shock, that was how she liked her coffee. She giggled and watched as Mana drank more. Yugi turned his head in Atemu's direction.
"Is it good?" Yugi asked quietly, wanting to know if he messed up or not. He didn't want to give the prince something bad. He saw the idiot royal as a friend now, so he didn't want to upset him. It was odd thinking of him as one, but it was kind of fun. He never had royalty as friends, so it was a new kind of feeling. Atemu nodded, smiling down at him.
"Yeah." Atemu replied. "It's perfect." Yugi let out another sigh, smiling back at him. Atemu didn't want to die, but he could die happily now if he did. Yugi was so beautiful when smiling, when being nice, when being anything! But his beauty was amplified when he was being kind! What was he going to do with his heart?!
"Anyway..." Bakura coughed into his hand. "So, why didn't you guys stay at your dorm?" Atemu and Mana blushed, realizing that they had gotten off topic. They let out a small sorry at that and began to talk about it again.
"Well, around that time he was beginning to quiet down again." Atemu began once more. "And Mana and I was in the library, just talking to each other, when we hear Seto go; 'Why don't you ask Atemu and Mana? They probably know about dates.'"
"And then we heard the sound of someone running around, trying to find us." Mana continued. "So we bolted out of the library and came here." This made everyone, expect Bakura, let out a laugh. Bakura was happy, but he was kind of upset at the same time. He was happy because he wasn't the only one worrying about the date, but he was upset because he had caused a slight panic on Malik. He rose his arm, pulling back his sleeve to look at the time. It was 6:20, he rose his eyes to the group, telling them the time. They all nodded at each other, talking amongst themselves as they stood up.
"May my sister and I accompany you two to your class?" Atemu questioned, being formal with his words. Yugi and Anzu looked at each other from across the table before they let out a slight laugh.
"Don't be so formal." Yugi ordered, he placed a hand on Atemu's shoulder, making the prince begin to flush at the contact. "Of course you and Mana can walk us to our class, it's not something you need to ask." Atmeu nodded, his face beginning to burn as he began to follow Yugi. Mana giggled, watching her brother follow Yugi nervously. She looked at Anzu, to find her already looking at her. Anzu flushed, darting her eyes away. Mana smiled at her interest, taking her hand without permission and leading her to follow the other pair.
"Do you need me to accompany you to your class?" Joey mocked, sticking his tongue out. Bakura laughed at that, shaking his head at his friend.
"Nah, I'm good." Bakura chuckled, he lowered his eyes down. "Hey, sorry about this morning." He lifted his eyes back up, smiling at his friend. Joey shrugged.
"I'm used to it, and besides..." Joey let out a laugh. "It was kind of funny, don't worry about it, dude." He reached over and pat Bakura on the shoulder. "I'll see you later, alright?" Bakura smiled, raising a hand and receiving a high five from Joey.
"Yeah, see you later."

The Mythology classroom always fascinated Bakura, ever since he came here to the school, he admired the room for how ancient like it looked. The door was made of a heavy bronze with an Egyptian eye at the top in the center, and the inside always reminded him of a tomb. The walls and floors were a dirty brownish stone, decorated with Egyptian paintings and hieroglyphs, on the floor were multiple dark colored pillows next to giant smooth rocks that served as desks, and to the side were textbooks for the class. At the front of the room resided a wall that was left untouched, and a medium sized column there rested with many different colors of chalk. Around the room were scattered candles, resting in small holders, allowing light to spread amongst the room. To another side of the room, the closest to the door, there was a larger stone with many books, scrolls, and papers on it with a more adult sized pillow behind it, this was the teacher's desk.
Bakura walked in the classroom, looking to the usually cleared stone wall, to find the words Free Day! Work on Homework or Missing Assignments.Bakura smiled at that, good he had time to relax. He looked to the side, noticing his teacher writing on a fairly long scroll at her desk. She was dressed in a long sand colored dress, Egyptian jewelry hanging on her long black hair, resting on her tanned neck and arms. She rose her lovely blue eyes to Bakura, smiling at him as she folded her arms over each other.
"Good morning, Bakura." She greeted, her voice the sound of a gentle night breeze. Bakura smiled back at her, he always liked his Mythology teacher.
"Good morning to you, Ms. Ishtar." Bakura responded. "What're you working on?" He walked over to his desk, which was the stone closest to her desk, making it so he didn't need to break his conversation with her. Her full name was Ishizu Ishtar, he always found it an exotic name.
"Just something to send to my father back home." Ishizu said, a smile still resting on her face. "He's been stressing out lately ever since my brother left to come here. So much work to do..." This confused Bakura for a moment, brother?
"You have a brother?" Bakura questioned, he did admit that after saying her last name that it sounded familiar...She nodded.
"Yes, I moved from Egypt a while ago." She responded. "And my brother decided to leave Egypt for a while with some friends, I believe you should know him quite well." Her smile began to turn crooked, becoming a smirk. Bakura was confused even more now, what was she talking about?
"Although..." Ishizu sighed, dropping her smirk and making it into a pout. "I am quite saddened that he has not visited me, perhaps he does not remember that I teach here." She rose her hand, placing her chin in her palm. She let out a chuckle at Bakura's expression. "I am to assume, you've not a clue of what I am talking about?" Bakura nodded mutely at her.
"You're a smart child, Bakura." Ishizu told him. "You should figure it out. Let me give you a hint, okay?" Bakura nodded once again at her. "My last name is Ishtar, that is all." Bakura opened his mouth to say something, before he heard a knock on the classroom door. Ishizu rose an eyebrow, no one knocked unless they weren't from this class. Lovely, they had a visitor.
"I'll get it." Bakura told Ishizu, making her smile and nod. He walked to the door, opening it slowly and blinking in half shock and half amusement when he saw who was behind it.
"Good morning." Bakura greeted with a half smile. Malik's eyes widened, standing there immobile before he smiled brightly and tackled Bakura onto the floor, making him let out a loud yelp of surprise. Students turned their eyes to the pair, and Ishizu stood up quickly in shock. She watched as Bakura began to laugh and tell the boy to get off of him. She narrowed her eyes at the person on top of her favorite student, after all these years he still had not learned any manners? She marched over to the pair of boys, crossing her arms.
"Malik." Ishizu growled out, her eyes narrowed as she watched Bakura blink in confusion and Malik raise his head. His eyes widened, looking up at Ishizu with surprise and fear. Malik quickly released Bakura from his grip, sitting up in a proper way.
"I-Ishizu!" Malik gasped out, looking her up and down as if he couldn't believe his eyes. "W-What are you doing here?" Bakura sat up, rubbing at his head due to it smacking against the stone floor. What was going on here? How did these two know each other? Ishizu closed her eyes, letting out an annoyed sigh.
"Do you not remember that I work here?" She spoke, annoyance laced in her voice. Malik let out a slight 'eep' sound and quickly apologized. Ishizu sighed, shaking her head and kneeling down to the royal.
"No matter I suppose." She smiled at him, raising her arms and enveloping Malik in a hug. The class stared as Malik smiled and began to hug her back. Bakura could feel a slight sting in his chest, the same sting he felt when he saw Malik and Yugi hug each other. Okay, this wasn't right.
"I'm glad to see you." Ishizu whispered, pulling away from Malik. The two of them smiled at one another.
"I'm glad to see you too." Malik replied. "You look good." Ishizu let out a laugh at that, turning her eyes to Bakura and the class.
"Class." She rose up, reaching out a hand to help Malik up. "Allow me to introduce my brother; Malik Ishtar." The class began to erupt in confusion, questions being yelled out at rapid fire and statements being called out. Bakura just stood there, the sting now beginning to fade. So that's where he had heard that last name! But they looked nothing alike! They act nothing alike!
"Now then." Ishizu laughed, ignoring her classes yelling. "Even though I am glad to see you, I am pretty sure you did not visit my class to finally see me, knowing that you didn't even remember that I worked here." She smiled. "So, why are you in my classroom?" Malik blushed, a shade of red working it's way around his cheeks. Ishizu rose an eyebrow at this, why was her brother blushing? She turned her eyes to Bakura, who was now beginning to stand up. Oh, yes. How could she forget?
"Well?" Ishizu pushed, smiling knowingly now. Malik licked his lips, wanting to know how to say his words. He loved his sister, but he didn't know if she would be okay with him taking a kid out of her class.
"M-May I borrow a student from your class, sis?" Malik asked, stumbling over his words as he spoke. Ishizu chuckled, knowing that saying that was hard to do. She never knew that her brother would be that way, but she did have a hunch that he didn't enjoy a girl's company as much as a man's.
"Is it my Bakura that you are after?" Ishizu questioned, enjoying how Malik began to suddenly glare at her. He narrowed his eyes, making his glare harsher.
"Your Bakura?" Malik hissed out, crossing his arms. "How is he your Bakura?" Okay, now Bakura was confused. What was going on?
"He is my Bakura." Ishizu giggled. "He is my student, after all." Malik's glare faded, his lips forming an 'Oh' before he uttered out a soft apology. She shook her head, slight giggles erupting from her.
"Well, are you borrowing him?" Ishizu asked, folding her hands together in front of herself. Malik nodded, his cheeks returning to a flushed color. She smiled brightly. "Have fun then. Bakura, you are excused from class for today." Bakura nodded, still confused at what had just happened and walked over to Malik's side. He began to follow the royal out, before he felt his teacher take his hand for a moment. He let out a small gasp as he felt her tug his hand backwards, she placed her other hand on his shoulder, holding him in place as she whispered in his ear.
"I give you my blessings, Bakura." Bakura's face turned bright red, his cheeks threatening to catch on fire. He gulped, biting his lip at the comment.
"Thanks, Teach."
:Yeah, that happened. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I will admit that for once, this was not hard at all to write, it was only hard because I couldn't write it faster! Please review and have a good day!:
