Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ A Simple Wish ❯ Ch. 4 Yugi's Morning ( Chapter 4 )
Yay, another update!! As usual, I'll respond to review first:
silver-fanged-dragon: You're the first person to be happy that Yugi is stuck with Bakura. Oh well, always a first for everything. Hope you enjoy this next chapter.
Sarina Fannel: I'm glad you like the story so far. Yes, they did pretty much switch lives.
Yami's Aibou: I first posted it on Tuesday, so it hasn't been up long. I'm glad you like it though.
Kaiyo No Hime: I'm glad I was able to surprise you. I love unexpected and new twists. Malik/Marik isn't going to be in this fic (mainly because I don't really know much about him yet). But I'm thinking of adding Shadii, though. Sorry.
Dark Queen Rose: Your request is granted. Here's chapter four!!!
lizzy9046: Well, actually, Bakura would only be short when he takes over Yugi's body. When he comes out of the Ring he has his own body. He probably was upset when he first met Yugi though. I don't know if I'll include that in a flashback or not.
Tsunamimbw: No I haven't read "Millennium Switch". I'll have to check it out. As to what Yami and Bakura look like now . . . they look the same as always in their own bodies. In their past lives they looked that so I think they should stay that way. It's less confusing for me, at least. AND HERE'S YOUR UPDATE!!!!
Mirakai no tenshi neko-jin: That was an interesting review. Your right, Ryou is a little confused right now, but he'll start to figure things out. He'll get a little help with it later. Hope you like the next chapter!
Yami Krissy: Yeah, Ryou is confused, but not for long. I hate to put Yugi through this (since he's my favorite character), but this idea just kept bugging me.
yamianimewriterd: You'll probably feel even sorrier for Yugi in this chapter. We get to see his morning from his POV. Hope you like.
AMG: This soon enough? I tried to make it a little weird, and hopefully different.
WOW!! That was a lot for one chapter! Thanks!!
Notes: //yami to hikari// /hikari to yami/ ~~scene change~~
This chapter is in Yugi's POV. Enjoy!!

Chapter 4: Yugi's Morning
Yugi slumped in his seat at the back of the classroom. Luckily it was history, and he was pretty good at that, so he didn't have to pay real close attention. Which would be impossible to do right now.
//What did you think you were doing?// Bakura growled at him from inside the Ring. //You weakling, you should have been able to avoid the Pharaoh's hikari easily!! When we get home we're going to have a little lesson.//
Yugi winced inwardly. Bakura's lessons were always painful and sometimes left him unable to leave his room for days. He wished, not for the first time, that he wasn't so clumsy.
~~flashback~~
The alarm clock beeped once, quietly, and Yugi immediately switched it off. He froze for a moment, listening. When he didn't hear anything he slipped out of bed and made his way quietly to his dresser.
Bakura hated mornings. He especially hated to be woken up in the morning. Yugi was always as careful as he could be when he got ready in the mornings. If he could just be quiet enough and get out of the house soon enough, then Bakura couldn't come with him to school. He was always more relaxed when that happened. Which wasn't often.
This particular morning Yugi managed to get a quick shower and change in the bathroom. Bakura was asleep in the guestroom across the hall from his room. Yugi slipped as quietly as he could back down the hall to get the Ring and grab his homework.
He grabbed his book bag and made his way towards the stairs that led down to his grandfather's shop. His grandfather slept downstairs, to avoid Bakura probably. Unfortunately for Yugi, his book bag had torn at the bottom again. He kept fixing it as best he could, but it was really old and needed to be replaced.
As he made his way down the hall, just as he passed Bakura's door, a pencil slipped out of the tear and clattered on the floor. Yugi cringed. Bakura was a really light sleeper, courtesy of his Tomb Robber days, and would wake up at the slightest sound.
Yugi had just enough time to glare at the pencil and turn to the door before Bakura yanked it open. Bakura glared at him darkly. His hair, mussed from sleep, only made him look more demonic. Yugi backed away slowly, never taking his eyes off of Bakura.
Without a word Bakura stormed forward and backhanded Yugi into the wall. His bag fell to the floor with a loud thud. Yugi allowed himself a brief flash of hope that his grandfather would come up and help him this time. But that disappeared when Bakura grabbed him by the hair and yanked him up to eye level.
"Damn brat." Bakura hissed, still glaring at Yugi, "How many times do I have to tell you, I don't like to be woken in the morning?"
"I . . . I'm sorry, Bakura." Yugi whispered fearfully.
Bakura just tossed him to the side and turned his back on him. Then he turned around, an evil smirk on his face, took a step forward, and delivered a solid kick to Yugi's ribs. Yugi winced and bit his tongue to keep from crying out. He closed his eyes as Bakura continued his lesson.
After what seemed like forever, but was probably only a few minutes, the beating stopped and Bakura stepped back. Yugi cracked an eye open and looked up at him.
"What are you staring at, brat?" Bakura asked, "Don't you have that school of yours to go to?"
When Yugi still didn't move, Bakura frowned and took a step forward again. This got Yugi moving. He scrambled to his feet and made a grab for his book bag. He left the pencil where it was, it was too close to Bakura for comfort. Just as he was slipping down the stairs, he heard one last comment from Bakura that made his blood run cold.
//May as well come with you. Maybe I can have some fun with your friends.//
Then the Ring flashed, signaling that Bakura had reentered it. Yugi sighed. He didn't have friends anymore. Bakura had made sure of that. He had attacked Yugi's friends several times. After the second attack, Yugi stopped hanging out with them, hoping that they would be safe if he avoided them. But they didn't all seem to get it. They still insisted on trying to help him. Especially Ryou.
Yugi sighed again, resigning himself to another day of school with Bakura, and walked out the door.
~~end flashback~~
The bell rang, interrupting his thoughts. Yugi grabbed his book bag and shuffled out of the classroom behind everyone else. No one spoke to him. No one wanted to. He was strange, an outcast. He was violent. No one wanted to be near him when he went into "one of his moods" as they were called. In other words, when Bakura took over. No one except his old friends and his grandfather knew about Bakura. He meant to keep it that way.
"Yugi! Wait!"
Yugi looked over his shoulder to see who was calling him. Great, it was Ryou. 'Hasn't he done enough for one day?' Yugi thought. 'Bakura's already mad at me. I don't need him to get angrier.'
He started to move faster towards his next classroom, but Ryou caught up with him and grabbed his arm. Yugi winced and Ryou immediately loosened his hold.
"Sorry." Ryou said, watching him.
"What do you want Ryou." Yugi asked tiredly.
"I wanted to apologize for earlier." Ryou stated, looking down at the floor. "I didn't mean to get Bakura angry. I also wanted to see if you would like to go out for pizza after school."
//Absolutely not!!// Bakura yelled from inside the Ring. //I won't have you hanging out with the Pharaoh's brat!//
"I don't think that's a good idea, Ryou." Yugi mumbled quietly.
"Because of Bakura?" Ryou asked.
Yugi looked up suddenly and his eyes narrowed, glaring. He wasn't in control anymore. Bakura had taken over again.
"Leave us alone, boy." He hissed. "What I do is none of your concern."
With that he stormed down the hall. He knew that Yami would fight back if he even raised a hand to Ryou. He was definitely going to have a little talk with his hikari when they got home.
