Thoughts

“Talking”

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------

Kai waited patiently in her living room, sitting at the chair by the window. Today was a gray and windy day, whipping leaves across the sidewalk and making the branches on trees sway. Her heart pounded rapidly as she saw his black limo pull up. She jerked her book bag from the ground and gathered herself to calmly walk outside to meet him. The door opened, nobody visible and she stepped in cautiously. Seto sat quietly in his seat, typing away on his computer. She glanced at him a few times before wrapping her arm around him and hugging him and then quickly pulling away.

“What as that for?”

“For everything.” She sat straight and smiled at a grinning Mokuba who raised a brow before turning his attention back to his handheld game.

School

Te'a paced in front of the school building growling, considering what to do. Ryo passed by her quickly and she jerked him by his collar.

“Ryo!”

“Don't touch me Te'a!” He flinched as Te'a let go and stared at him baffled.

“That was a sudden outburst. That goody two shoes has you under close watch doesn't she?” Ryo straightened out his uniform and shook his head.

“My old protector just got in town. I don't need Kai, even though she was a very good substitute while he wasn't here.” He gave an abrupt nod and strutted into the school building. Te'a relaxed her shoulders as she saw a second white haired boy approach the school, except something was different in him than Ryo. His walk was confident, almost borderline cocky. His air was intriguing yet his eyes set it off. His blazing copper eyes immediately gripped fear from the fearless and made the strong-hearted faint and everyone else followed either category, everyone except for a handful that knew him: Te'a, Seto, Isis, Joey, Tristan, and Duke.

“Oh Bakura!” Bakura darted his eyes at her and then rolled them.

“What do you want?”

“How was your trip? Did you enjoy saving all those little children?”

“Did you enjoy bullying the students while I was gone?” He started to walk inside as Te'a leant against the wall.

“Not quite.” Bakura froze and shook off his uneasy feeling, turning back to her.

“What do you mean?” Te'a was about to open her mouth when she saw a black limo pull up. Seto stepped out of the car and started his long stride towards the building. Kai slowly emerged shortly from the limo and followed quietly.

“Seto has a new patronage.”
“And your new problem.” Bakura raised a brow as Seto cut his eyes at him.

“Seto…” Seto turned his upper lip at him and continued walking.

“Her name is Kai Crenshaw.” Te'a implied as Bakura watched the violet headed girl mount the stairs steadily and looked very surprised to see that he was staring at her. She regained herself and confidently walked into the school, glancing at him before she went inside.

“OH! I think she's scared of you Bakura!”

“That wasn't fear Te'a. That was curiosity mixed with suspicion. I know now that she is as curious about me as I am about her.”
“Well, I'm just saying, it looks like someone else has taken over your job as the school protector.” Te'a waltzed into the school as Bakura, stretched his neck and briskly walked into school.

Gym

Kai stretched out her legs as her group had their break. She was still a bit weirded out at the white, long haired boy who had seem to be staring at her all day and trying his best to get close to her. She watched Seto and his group do their suicides. The light from the high, dusty windows gleamed into the gym down on the people running. Kai was suddenly struck by Seto's body movement, his expression and just his presence as a whole. His biceps and triceps contracted as he bent down to touch each line. His calf muscles bulged out of his lowed legs, showing their strength and power. His sweat glistened in the sunlight giving him that full appearance of being just that handsome. The warmth of a body next to her made her quickly break her attention away from Seto and focus it on that person. The white long-haired boy stared at her for a few seconds before holding out a hand.

“I am Bakura.” Kai shook his head.

“I'm Kai Crenshaw, nice to meet you.” Bakura stared at her intensely, as if trying to sort her out.

“I'm sure no one's told you this, but uhhh, this school already has its public defense speaker…that would be me.” Kai crossed her arms and leant back on the bleachers.

“You're afraid someone's taking over your status as world protector?” Bakura chuckled slightly and then gave a serious look.

“It's always been my job. You see, I strike the fear in people.” Kai sat up as she inched closer to her and her expression switched to a smug one as she raised a brow.

“Well I'm not the least bit fearful of you or your aggressive tone. I only saw wrong and no one was helping so I was doing what I thought was right.” Bakura raised a brow.

“What's right?”

“Yes, I do it because it's morally wrong, not because I want the attention or to strike fear in people.” Bakura inched closed to her.

“I find that quite attractive.”

“You don't say.”

“Kai!” Kai looked up to see Seto towering over them.

“Yes Seto?”

“It's your group's turn.” His jaw tight, barely letting words escape his thin, pinched lips. Kai tentatively walked to the middle of the court, to hear what Ms. Kibble saying as Bakura stood up, his expression amused, yet vicious.

“Seto.” Seto lifted his head up, the skin on his face so tight, it outlined his lower jaw.

“What are you planning?”

“What do you mean?” Seto glared.

“You said you would never waste your time on a high school girl while you were in high school. Why are you interested in her?” Bakura chuckled and shrugged.

“She's seems…different. I like different.” He flashed his eyes up at Seto. “Wow, I haven't seen you this jealous over someone since Kisara. Shame she isn't here, huh?” Seto gripped the collar of his shirt and slammed him down on the bleachers. A few girls who were sitting close by, jumped up and yelped, grabbing the attention of those who hadn't seen out the corner of their eye what Seto was doing. Seto stared deep and angry into Bakura's mocking ones, almost as if trying to drill a hole into each of Bakura's pupils.

“Seems like that's still a fresh wound, eh Kaiba man?” Ms. Kibble approached them quickly, but staying her distance yelled at them.

“Seto! Off of Bakura! Go hit a cold shower! Bakura, what happened to being the peacemaker, eh? We might as well give your job to Ms. Crenshaw.” Bakura immediately jerked out of Seto's trance as he hit a new reality. Seto tightened his grip, pushing Bakura down briskly before letting go and stalking off towards the showers. Immediately after the door to the boy's locker room shut, conversations started. Isis slowly approached Kai who kept staring at the doors, wondering: What would make a person, who always kept his temper in check, strike out in anger?

Boy's Locker room

After they had practiced the rest of the boys quietly walked by the shower stalls, one being occupied by Seto, who was bracing himself against the back wall and letting the water run through his hair and roll down his cheeks, his body not flinching from the icy cold water. The boys picked and chose their showers hastily, some sharing it with two other boys, freaking out when one accidentally touched them. Once they all cleared out, Seto turned the rusted steel knob off, making a loud, squeaking, dense noise that echoed off the dark, moldy wall. Seto….what's your deal? Get it together! Seto gripped his hair, crouching down as a sweet, delicate voice played through his mind. Seto…I love you…I love you too…Kisara. Seto clenched his fist together, grinding his teeth and emerged from the shower, gripping the wall with one hand and his side with the other.

“Come on, pull it together.” He whispered to himself and slowly walked to get changed. After he had gotten dressed, he walked out into the quiet gym to find that a violet haired beauty still sat on the bleachers patiently. He rolled his eyes and she ran to him as he fixed his tie.

“Why did you wait on me? Now you're late for class.” Kai looked down and twiddled her fingers.

“It's lunch time and I figured you'd need someone to talk to when you got out.” Seto sighed and nodded. “So…why did you go off on Bakura?” Seto shook his head and shifted his shoulders.

“Bakura is someone who is…just like Te'a…without the slut.” Kai chuckled.

“OH, well he must be one of the world's greatest people.” Seto shook his head and turned serious eyes to her.

“There's more evil to Te'a than her sluttish ways, you of all people should know that. Bakura is made up of something worse. A cold, blank, heart. That may sound like Te'a to you, but Te'a cares about what people think, Bakura doesn't. I don't even know why he fights for peacemaker all that hard. I mean people, unlike you and me, would listen to him. But him and Te'a together is like all hell set loose. I was very cautious when I saw him this morning and then when he was trying his best to talk to you. Bakura's not a good person…and never really has good intentions.” Kai nodded, slightly amused at his “Mufasa talking to Simba” tone. They entered the loud, busy lunchroom and it fell quiet. Seto growled inwardly and sighed.

“Don't stop on our account.” They hesitantly started what they were doing again, this time bringing it down to a lower tone. Isis and Joey approached them quickly and smiled.

“Let's eat outside shall we?” The quartette quickly backed out of the cafeteria and started down the hall.

“You four!” They all turned to see Mr. Hinkleman motioning for them to come towards him.

“Damn it!” Joey whispered quietly as they all marched to his room. Kai's stomach almost did a back flip when she saw Bakura sitting in her seat with his legs propped up on the desk.

“Yes Mr. Hinkleman?” Isis said confused at the teacher who rummaged through papers and books on his desk.

“I have decided to change around the groups your all are in. Trish has come and completely annoyed me about changing partners. So, Joey you're with Isis, Seto you're with that new, weird girl and Kai you're with Bakura.” Joey and Isis exclaimed happily and then slowly looked at the confused and upset couple next to them.

“B-but Mr. Hinkleman! Seto and I are already halfway through the book!”

“That's good. You can clue Mr. Bakura and you can start where you left off from.” Kai's breathe was stuck as Seto stepped forward.

“Mr. Hinkleman.”

“You can't scare me out of something this time.” Mr. Hinkleman looked up at Seto and jumped back, shocked that he was as close as he was.

“Maybe we should have a little talk.” Isis, Joey, and Kai exited the room as they started their heated discussion. A few minuets later, Seto emerged from the room scowling.

“Well?” Isis said crossing her arms. Seto glanced at Kai and continued walking.

“Seto!” Kai jumped up and jerked his arm back, only succeeding in making herself stumble back.

“Look, maybe it is best you work with Bakura. I think you're getting a little too into your idea that I like you or care..” Kai scrunched her face confused.

“Wh-what does that have to do with anything? I don't like yo-what the heck?!” Seto sighed and rolled his eyes.

“Never mind. You're paired with Bakura…I'll see you after school.” Seto walked off as the bell rung and Isis ran to her.

“What was that all about?” Joey slowly approached them, crossing his arms.

“The dragon is loose again.”
