"Are you guys sure this hamburger is still good? I can see green stuff on it, and no, it's not the salad." The obvious one said, looking curious at his meal, which he just bought in the cafeteria. Let me please say this as a warn for you all: cafeteria-meals at Domino-high suck. There're unhealthy, uneatable, and full of mould. And poor him had to give his homemade lunch to his school's bully, so he had to buy a school-made meal, which was very detestable, as I just told you all. Anyway, he was happy to give it away. Especially to a certain bully.

Now, before you'll all turn your head away, or ask me `what the FUCK is this shit about?!' please let me introduce the group. It'll make this fic a lot simpler to read and understand.

Let's start with the obvious one. His name's Malik Ishtar. He's a student from abroad. Egypt, to be exactly. He's now 15 years old, and had lived in Domino for let's say 3 years. He looks pretty handsome too. Violet eyes, blond hair, and a nice ass, at least, according to him. He is very obvious, and always wants to be the first one in the line. That's why almost every peep here calls him `Mister Perky'. He's okay, though. And he's the most normal one of the whole group.

"I don't see anything, so it has to be okay." The youngest and smallest of us said, while looking for a second at the burger, then turned his head to his own meal again.

That's Yugi Moutoh. He's okay. Though he sees things. Don't be scared, it's cool! He's probably reading auras again, but I'm not sure a burger has an aura. He's 15 years too, though he doesn't look and acts like one. He's very childish, but since he's so sweet, nobody cares. Also, because of his childishness, it seems more normal that he can see thing. The strangest thing ever happened to him was the fact his got an `out-of-body-experience'. But now it's going normal with him again. He can only see all things other peeps can't see. Luckily it's going so well with him, he doesn't have to see the doctor every week. Now, he only has to go to a psychiatric institution once a month, which is an improvement for Yugi. Then he stays there for a whole weekend, for observation. But as for now, these are enough details of his paranormal behavior. Rest will be explained along the fic. It's going much better with him than before anyway. I mean, he didn't have any bad mood any of these days, which would make him very violent.

Further with Mister Psychic's looks. He has the strangest hair of us all. All spiked up tri-coloured hair, which never heard of the law of gravity. Red and black spikes, and yellow bangs. As for his eyes, he has beautiful purple orbs, where, according to Malik, you can get lost in. Literally, according to Mister Perky, but of course that was just bluff.

"Everybody knows you can't see bacteria with the naked eye. I wouldn't eat that, if I were you." The person next to Yugi said. To suit the action to the word, she took a bite out of her homemade salad, and starting chewing ostentatiously. Ishizu is the frantic one. She's the older sister of Malik, and god knows why she's hanging out with them. Perhaps it is the fact she wants to keep an eye on her baby brother. Or perhaps it is the fact she has no friends, because everybody in her class thinks she's a freak. Which is absolutely true.

She's an 18-year old senior, who lived in Egypt, until 3 years ago, just like her brother Malik. In contrast to her brother Malik, she sometimes find life in the big city hard. Ishi looks very normal, as long she can keep up the facade. She in one word a control-freak. Everything must go her way; else she freaks out, or goes hyper. To make her life even more difficult, she has to deal with nosophobia every now and then. That was probably the reason of disliking Malik's burger.

Since she's an Egyptian girl, she has a tanned skin, and unlike her brother Malik, she has black raven hair, just like her mother. She has beautiful blue cerulean eyes, which match perfectly with her tanned skin. To be quite honest, she's a very beautiful girl. Her clothes are a different case. It is well known that every girl at Domino-High has to wear a blue skirt, but Ishizu was convinced that the blue attract all type of insects, and since she hates those, she `accidentally' burned the skirt. Now she's the only girl in the whole school who wears a BLACK skirt, what reaches to below her knees. After the career-master told her she was obliged to wear the polo, she immediately bought an oversized waistcoat, WITH hood. Again, black. That makes her stand out of the main stream. Malik think she's nuts, but she doesn't care the slightest bit.

"How about you, silent one?" Malik cocked his head to his left, and stared intensely into the boy's eyes. Actions speak louder than words. In this case nothing more is true than that. A simple nod, mixed up with a gentle smile was the answer. Then, the silent one looked down, into the book he was currently reading.

Don't ask anything, It'll be explained everything right now. Ryou Bakura, 16 years old, white hair, chocolate-coloured eyes, and doesn't talk. Not that he can't, he just doesn't want to. Only the group knows why, and they promised him not to tell it further. They

Aren't easily persuaded or blackmailed, so there's probably no chance you'll find out why he doesn't talk. He just has to tell it to you directly. And since he doesn't talk, a miracle should happen before you'll find out why.

Back to the silent one, as he is called by everyone of our group. He's the sweetest of us all, though he can be very mature when it comes to serious things. You can describe him as sweet, lovable, patient, gallant, concerned, and an always-sharing person. Though he doesn't say a thing, the group somehow always understands what he wants to tell. As was said before, actions speak louder than words.

"Are you sure, you wanna eat it? I wouldn't do it, if I were you." The blonde next to Yugi said. He nodded his head, while curious looking at his own homemade sandwich. He never eats something else than his own meal. But that's nothing new. He was never a daredevil. More like the coward.

May I introduce Jounouchi Katsuya, but since he hates it when anyone calls him `Katsuya' without his permission, everybody call him just `Jou'. He only lets Ryou and his little sister call him Katsuya, since he only dares to trust them. But since Ryou doesn't talk, no one but his little sister calls him Katsuya. Strange? Nah, Malik is too imprudent and perky, making him exactly the complete opposite from Jou himself. Yugi is a whole other story. Jou and Yugi are good friends, but Jou still hates it when Yugi sees the `things' again. And Ryou, well, since he doesn't talk, Jou allows him to say Katsuya. And since he doesn't talk, he never says it.

Further with Jou. He's 17 years old, blond hair and honey-brown-coloured eyes. Though he can act very loud, he almost never shows it. He's number one chicken, afraid of everything, and doesn't like anything suspicious. This is the reason why he doesn't dare to open up against Yugi, by the way. Don't understand him wrong, it's just, he had a very bad childhood, which made him close for the rest of the world. He likes to see everything perfect and in order, just like Ishizu, or Ishi, as the whole group calls her all the time. Jou's cool anyway. Like Yugi, he has an own vision about life and its problems. That makes him a worthy member of the group.

"3 against 2. Good luck, poor me." Malik mumbled to himself, before biting in the burger. A muffle came when he swallowed his bite. His hand immediately grabbed Ryou's soda, and gulped down pretty much the whole bottle.

"And do I EVER wonder why you peeps can be wrong?! Nopes, me is all happy with wrong advises. I lost my appetite, by the way. And Silent One, sorry for your soda. I'll buy you a new one if I can knock over my personal bully and pickpocket his wallet." Malik hugged Ryou's arm with his left arm, while throwing the burger in a waist-basket with the other hand. A moment he looked like a toddler. Ryou, who softly petted his head, and stroked his hair a bit, made that picture even more realistic.

"Okay, I'm not sad anymore. Now, I think I have to hurry, else I'll be too late for giving my very prefect made homework to my true love." Malik gulped down the rest of Ryou's soda, threw the can away, much to despise to Ryou, who was obviously thirsty. Then Malik grabbed his bag. After a few seconds digging in the bag, he successfully found a light-green map. He showed it to the group, only to grab 5 more maps out of his bag.

"Which color map should I put the project in? I thought light green would color prefect with his beautiful eyes, but perhaps it's too much. The dark red one is cool, but a little bit too `I-like-you-very-much-can't-you-see-it'. So that leaves me with the light blue, the yellow, the lilac, and the black one. Peeps, we have a problem. The break ends within 15 minutes, and I can't choose!" Malik rambled through, while showing every map apart to everyone in the group. Ishi was the first one to answer the question.

"The green one. The rest don't look clean. I can see more than 50 fingerprints on those other maps. And I do NOT want to know what you did with those unhygienic things." Ishizu said, while making sure there was no animal fat mixed up in her sandwich, "I saw where those maps came from, and I don't think it's a good idea to give them to him. Even if he's just a bully, he STILL has right on a hygienic map." She continued, while Jou furiously nodded, completely agreeing with Ishizu. Well, that's the problem when you have 2 peeps in the group, where 2 of them care very much about personal hygiene and stuff like that. Luckily for Malik the rest of the group was everything BUT hygienic. Yugi was a case apart, and Ryou didn't care, as long he didn't smell icky and stuff.

Further with Malik, he nearly decided. Well, at least, Ishizu threw the 5 other maps away, because she thought they were too unhygienic to give them away. Too bad he still thought the green map was a little bit too much.

"But if he doesn't like the color, I won't have more maps for him! He won't like me, if he figures out the rest of HIS maps are thrown away!" Malik whined, but put the project in the light green map. He pouted some more, but after a little pat on his back from Ryou, he sighed, and stood up. Well, that was the plan.

"PERKY!" The whole cafeteria could hear an Egyptian boy yell at the perky one at our table. Immediately the whole group saw Malik shrink as much as he could. This means he tried to get under the table, but it didn't work too well. As soon the Egyptian one reached our table, he looked at Malik with an angry look.

"You didn't come." Came the short state from the Egyptian one. He hit Malik's head with his hand, but then noticed the map in the table. He immediately stopped hitting Malik, though the hits were only playful. Well, playful, as he states it. He can hit harder, but only does that when no teachers are watching. The Egyptian one grabbed the map, but probably then first saw the light green color.

"Green?" He asked, while looking with a disgust face at the map. Ishizu immediately gulped, knowing Malik would be pissed off after this.

"I ... emmmm, I thought ... you liked that color?" Malik shrunk some more, but it didn't help much. He got another hit. He shrieked a bit, more of childishness than out of pain.

"I hate green." He said, but didn't rip the map off. He didn't seem to care about the color THAT much. Seems that Ishizu was safe. For now. Suddenly the Egyptian one turned around, and walked away, without saying another word.

He slowly made his way to the door of the cafeteria, making sure to give a cold stare to everyone who dared to look at him. Sure he was a cool guy, but the looks he received from the dorks, didn't made him feel special.

"Stupid boy." He mumbled under his breath, making his way to the exit. He only went to the cafeteria to get his map. Only dorks sit in cafeterias during their breaks. He was no dork, so he always sat outside when the break came. And since he was so cool, he also sat outside during classes, since he didn't give a fuck about learning things.

"MARIK-KUN!" He heard his group yell, while he made his way to a certain place on the grass. There was his kingdom. His group. Well, the actual leader was someone else, but Marik didn't mind it THAT much right now.

"Where the FUCK have you been! We've been bored as hell!" The white-haired boy said, while playing with his favorite dagger. He immediately received a punch from the tri-coloured one behind him. Since this was the most popular group, every student only knew their nicknames, if they HAD any. Somehow nobody knows some real names of some members. But they're cool, so nicknames are all they need.

For as far everyone knows, the Egyptian one is called `Marik'. He is Malik's personal bully. The white-haired one is called `Bakura'. Strange, since Ryou's last name is the same as his surname. Then, the tri-coloured one is called `Yami', but his real name is pretty unknown for me.

"You're ALWAYS bored! I can't think of any moment you weren't bored as hell." Yami said, while hitting Bakura a few more times. He stopped hitting Bakura, after he received a punch himself from the most serious one of the popular group. Seto Kaiba. The only one everybody knew by surname and last name. But that's no wonder, since he has his very own company. Kaiba Corps. Malik bought a cool thing from his company last week, by the way. Ishizu was furious, because it could harm him, but that's just a minor detail.

"Stop goofing around, Yami. I thought you were so grown up, you wouldn't act so childish anymore. Now move aside, I want my view." Seto sat down, on Yami's lap. After a grunt, Yami rolled to his left, leaving Seto quite happy. He had his view back. Not that the view was so special, but was just a minor detail for said CEO. It was just a view of the whole school-grounds. Nothing more. Strangely enough it was HIS spot, and if someone would sit down there, he would chase them down and kill them. Well, in real, he would rent a bully, and let them bully his victim for 2 weeks. But that was not his or my point.

"Get lost with your dump spot." Bakura mumbled, with throwing his dagger up and down, nearly cutting off his left hand. Yami make a `Tsss'-sound, while meant he was being mature again. Nothing special again. He was number one grown-up boy at school here. Strangely enough he wasn't the oldest one, aside from the teachers around here. But then again, this was Yami. He equaled maturity.

"Get lost with your dump knife." Marik said. While sitting down on Bakura's lap. That was so typically them. Always flirting with each other, while they didn't even like each other. It was just a thing for passing the time for them.

"Get lost with you BIG ass! I'm bored, and even you with your dump states won't change it!" Bakura pushed Marik off him, and continued playing with his favorite thing. His dagger. Officially he wasn't allowed to have one. But since he thought it looked so cool, he always kept it in his pocket. That was also one reason he was the most un-favorite boy who could bully you. Marik only bullied Malik, Yami only bullied immature kids, and Bakura bullied everyone he didn't like. That was 90% of the school. Everyone except the peeps in his group and other peep he liked. Which was absolutely no one.

"I'm bored too, ya know! I even had to go INTO the damn building for getting my stupid project for a part for my exams. Lucky Mister perky doesn't switch places every break, so I could find him right away. Though I would have my fun searching him. Although ... on second thought. No. Mister perky is to obvious to not to be found." Marik sighed. He was about to stuff the light green map into his bag, when suddenly a feminine voice yelled something at him.

"What's with the vegetable color?! I thought green was the most dump color in the whole wide fucking world?!"

"Get lost, Mai. It's my project, and I've spent a whole quarter persuading mister Perky to make it for me! And he IS a nerd, so it was obvious he picked a nerdy map for it!" Marik stuck his nose in the air, while waving the map in front of Mai's eyes.

"But it's green!' Bakura interrupted Marik's childish behavior, while caused him to get a hit from Kaiba. He moved into his view, that's why.

"Look what you've done, Bakura! Now I'm bored too! You're spreading boredom-germs around here, I swear!" Marik moved some inches away from Bakura, and leafed through the map.

"Marik, we're ALL bored. Me, you, everybody around here ... well, of course miss friendship isn't." He pointed at a brunette some feet's away, who was repeatedly hitting on a little kids head, probably saying something in the style like `I'm a better friend than you'll ever be'.

"And who actually CARES what the dumb twit is doing right now?!" Mai blocked their view, so they would never knew what would happen to the poor boy. She was probably still angry about the fact she was dumped only a few days ago. Unlucky for her, she and Anzu belonged to the same group, and so did Rebecca now, so she would have to see them every time they got together, and that were many moments.

"Haven't you figured out I care?! Now move outta my way, so I can see what's left of the boy. Since if he's not completely demolished, I'll finish the work with pleasure." Bakura waved Mai out of the view, but pouted when he saw Anzu making peace signs, while the poor boy ran away, full of fear, and full of sadness, just waiting to burst out. He'd probably cry the rest of the day in the bathrooms.

"Geez, ANZU! Stop irritating me!!" Mai groaned towards the peace-signs-making girl, while sitting down next to Yami.

"Don't talk mean `bout MY Anzu!!" They heard yell from a good distance away, what meant Rebecca was coming. Immediately Anzu waved frantically to her new girlfriend, while blowing kisses to her as well.

(((((Amy: That just ... icky!

Dawny: See it from the good side, honey. Now Mai is free once more, and she isn't captured by the evil Anzu-creature ^^

Amy: ... riiiight)))))

"Is Anzu the only person you people can talk about?!" Marik interrupted the rest of the group, getting a few hits and a comment from Bakura in response.

"Anzu isn't a person. Anzu is a thing." Bakura dryly comment, immediately receiving a hit from Anzu as well.

"I'd say the same thing to you as to the stupid now crying boy, thief! I saw you yesterday. You stole those files from the new freshmen at school. I hope you realized what you've done!" The crying boy, who strangely stopped his tracks within an audible length, immediately cocked his head to the white-haired one, looking with an `I-have-something-to-persuade-you-with'-face. His tears were gone now, and only interest could be read of his face.

"And I'm DAMN proud of it!" Bakura turned his head to the little boy, made an angry face, which caused the little boy to jump up and run away. Yes, he started crying again.

"But I wanted to steal them! You always get to steal the fun things around this lousy school!" Anzu poked Bakura's chest, while Bakura frantically snorted.

"Then don't pick on little cry-baby-a-like freshmen, but go to the careers-master's office, and go hack his computer. It's fun to do, since I've done that with Marik the other day. Too bad he found out we were hacking, cuz since then I've got every Friday detention." Bakura replied, snorting some more. He immediately received a stare from Yami. By the way, Yami was number one `I-hate-snorts'-guy.

"Then don't get caught!" Kaiba said, while opening his bag, to reveal a laptop. A loud sigh from the rest of the group was heard. Kaiba and his laptop wasn't something new. More like the most normal routine thing of the day.

"But I'm still bored. Marik, make me un-bored!" Bakura eyed Marik, who was still trying to stuff the green map into his bag, which didn't work, since his bag was too small for it.

"Go to hell, Bakura. I'm busy." Marik grumbled a bit, but finally rested his head on Yami's shoulder, while leaving the map out of his bag.

"What's the dump thing anyway?" Yami asked him, before pushing Marik off him. Yami grabbed the map, and looked bored at it. Then he continued talking, more to himself than to the other ones of his group.

"Project for English class ... made my mister Perky ... signed by your name ... persuaded him again for sure ...about the movie `She's all that' ... childish thing, as far as I can see." Yami threw the map on the grass again, before lying down. This time he ended up on Marik's belly. A grump came from under him. It seemed that Marik didn't quite agree with it. Figures.

"What's up with the dump map?" Mai sat down next to the boys, and grabbed the map. She leafed through it, making a loud noise when she reached the last page.

"Why did you make a project about that dumb movie? Though it's a cool bet, I hate the rest! Those characters are WAY too old-fashioned! I mean, we're probably twice as cool as the cool guy in the dump movie!" May threw the map away, but before it could hit the ground, Kaiba caught it.

"Bakura, Marik. If you are so bored, why don't make a bet?! Though you still have like 2 years of school to go, before you'll graduate -IF that's possible, but that's not my point-, I think it's time for us to do something spectacular." Kaiba leafed a bit through the map, and stopped when he found a picture of the movie. Everyone in the group turned their faces to Kaiba, who seemed to like the attention he received. Then, as a cue, he continued talking, but too bothering to look up.

"Every year the last grade does something unique. Last year of senior blew up the stove in the cafeteria, and everybody could smell the destroyed pie for the two weeks after that stunt. This year it's our turn, but seeing you all, nobody probably thought of something, which should make us legendary. I know Marik and Bakura aren't seniors yet, but next year they will. If you'll make, per example a bet, together with us, and win, you'll be extra-famous next year. A bet could be a possible idea, since I don't want to blow up a certain piece of the school -no offence Bakura- also for passing the time here. Even I'm bored these days." Kaiba showed the group a picture of the main characters. Marik's eyes immediately lit up, and Bakura clapped his hands in happiness. Yami nodded very mature. Only Anzu and Mai didn't seem to agree. Well, apart from the rest of everybody. Heh, heh. I didn't quite introduce the rest of the popular group to you.

You see, there're 2 cool groups at Domino-high. One group is the ultimate one, with Yami. The other one was a little less popular, but still very famous. The popular group was where Yami, Kaiba, Bakura, Marik, Kaiba, Mai, Anzu and Rebecca were in. The less popular group were some peeps that were called Otogi, Honda, Miho, and some girl named Shizuka too. Strangely enough she was Jou's little sister. They were good friends, though they never spoke a word with each other when they were at school.

Back to group popular. Anzu only wanted to judge, since she already got Rebecca, and didn't want to fake-fall for someone else. Mai had a whole other problem.

"But I DO NOT like boys, you know that! The BOY in `She's all that' gets the GIRL, but I don't want a BOY!!!" Mai yelled at Yami, who stuffed his fingers in his ears. It seemed that Mai had a pretty loud voice.

"And I don't like girls! Are you happy again?! We're cool, so we don't have to bet you can make a boy love you, or something along that line. We'll bet all boys have to make another boy popular, and all girls a girl popular, since every person in this group is homosexual! Don't be so childish when it comes to these points!" Yami argued with Mai, who stuck up her nose, when Yami said the word `childish'.

"Then so be it! I feel SO like Freddy Prince Jr. In `She's all that right. Dead sexy, but also dead single and dumped by a stupid ditz -no offence Anzu- But okay. So be it! I'll make a dumb girl popular, and you guys will make 4 other boys popular. Great, our group will be bigger in the future. But isn't the bet a bit lame?" Mai was getting more irritated with the minute. Anzu too, remembering how Mai spoke of her. They weren't getting along fine these days. Figures.

"Do you call my idea `lame'? Then make that person popular, but also make them love you." Kaiba eyed Mai, who immediately made a `Tsss'-sound. But before she could answer, the white-haired boy next to her spoke up, sounding as irritated at Mai was.

"I wonder what you mean with the word `love'. If you mean true love, than it's old-fashioned. Only nerds and freshmen believe in true love. For me, love means fuck that person senseless, every time and every place I want." Bakura said, while grabbing the map and leafing through it. Then he continued speaking.

"Damn! The `Lany' girl is SUCH a nerd! Though a bet seems fun, I don't wanna make someone actually love me. Though, a good fuck is always welcome." Bakura smiled evilly, while Mai made a face, which said `you-are-gross'.

"I said `love'. Listen, I don't care what YOU understand under the word `love', but I mean that the person loves you, in the way like he or she think you're the sweetest, greatest and coolest peep alive, and he or she would practically DIE for you, but also fucks you at least once before the end of the year." Kaiba didn't make any emotion while speaking. Immediately Bakura cheered, same went for Marik. Yami rolled his eyes, but Mai's eyes strangely enough lit up.

"Then I'm in!" Mai cheered too, before scanning the school-ground, seeking a prey. It seemed that Anzu was now out of her system.

"Anzu will choose our preys, since she already has Rebecca. She's the judge. Got that, Anzu?" Anzu nodded, stood up from the spot she was sitting, and began to speak.

"The bet will be as followed: Everyone gets a prey. You have to make your prey popular, and make then love you. The sex-part is necessary too. Then, we will choose the winner at the end of the year. Then you'll break all their hearts at the last day, in front of the whole school. The one who dumps his prey the hardest, will win. And the winner will win emmm ... what's in for the winner anyway?!" Anzu questioned Kaiba, but Yami spoke up instead of him.

"The winner will get fame. He of she will be announced as the absolute most popular boy of girl of this school. And to make the bet cooler, if someone lese but me wins, I'll give him of her my `Dark Magician'."

"I'll give up one of the `Blue eyes'." Kaiba, said, not letting escape one single emotion.

"Me will give my "Harpy Lady', my `Harpy Lady Sisters' and my magic card to get the them." Mai said, while a bit nervous.

"Me my `Destiny Board'." Bakura grumbled, looking like he didn't mean it for real.

"Me my `Jam Breeding Machine'."

"YOUR WHAT?!?! That's not fair, then I'll give my `Electric Lizard'." Bakura slapped Marik's back, but then say Yami's face, and stopped hitting immediately.

"What's you problem? `Jam Breeding Machine' is cool! And I don't wanna give up my god card!"

"Then choose another card, but NOT some card you can miss easily."

"Okay. Then I'll give up my Masked Beast. Better?!"

"But that's not your best card. I'm giving up my best card. I want another card to give up!"

This conversation kept going until everybody decided. Strangely enough everybody got some other card to give up in the end. Kaiba choose his `Crush Card', Bakura got his `Dark Necrofear', Yami his `Summoned Skull', Mai her `Harpy's Feather Duster', and Malik, with many hits from Bakura, his `Masked Beast'. Only when Marik was beginning about Mai's card, he received a punch from everybody.

"But what about the losers? Are they only gotta give their card away, or do they also have to do something else?" Bakura asked them.

"Like what?" Marik continued asking, his eyes glistering somehow evilly. And no, I don't know what he was thinking. And to be honest, I really don't wanna know!

"I know something! They have to pull down their jeans at the prom on the last day of this year on the stage!" Bakura said, obviously fantasizing. He got a hit from Yami as a response.

"Grow up, Bakura!"

"Okay, cut my idea. We'll keep it on giving the winner a card. But I still think we should give up better cards."

"Then me, Kaiba and Yami have to give up our god cards!" Marik whined.

"Except god cards! I'll give up my total Destiny Board, together with my very special field card you all know, Mai her total Harpy set, means everything that has something to do with the damn Harpy, Yami his 2 Magicians, Kaiba 2 Blue eyes. Marik, his Masked beast and the ritual card, Fairy Box and Jam Breeding Machine. That seems fair." Bakura said. Strangely enough everybody accepted it immediately. Though they would loose some very strong cards, they would get an invincible deck if they would win. And besides, it was worth for a bet. The winner would get a cool deck, and would become legendary at school. Dumping a nerd was pretty cool, as Marik said.

"Then it's a deal!" Yami stated, and everybody nodded in agreement.

"I'm gonna search some fresh preys now!" Anzu suddenly yelled, while patting Rebecca's head softly. She would get her attention later. Now the whole group turned their heads toward Anzu's direction. Marik sighed heavily, giving one more cold stare to Mai. As soon Yami noticed this, he whacked Marik's head once more. That's stopped him pouting for sure.

"Those ones perhaps?!" Mai asked, while pointing at a group giggling boys, with one girl standing in the middle of it. They were a typical Gothic group.

"There're normal. I want a REALLY nerdy group! I'd love to see you slime over some female doofus who has big fat windows -emmm I mean glasses- upon big innocent eyes, and never ever even HEARD of the word `fashion'." Anzu blinked sweetly and most innocent to Mai, who immediately mouthed `fuck you' in response.

"Go to the cafeteria, Anzu. Only there are nerds." Marik stopped the fury of the two girls, and dryly pointed at the main door of the building. Immediately they could all hear Bakura sigh. He was planning not to go in there for the rest of the week, since it sucked inside. But seeing the bet and its circumstances, he probably had to drop this plan.

"Like mister Perky?" Mai asked Marik, while they walked inside. Marik growled at the word `perky'.

"Mister Perky is a dump kid. Only good for making my homework. And good for a good punching-bag." Marik answered, growling some more.

"Guys, break's over already. All nerds must have gone to the classrooms. Emmm, then we'll go to the cafeteria, and see what's left. Perhaps some nerds who don't have classes at the moment. Nerds aren't cool, so I don't think they would be outside now." Anzu rambled through, making her way to the other side of the building. Only Rebecca stayed behind, after Mai pushed her as hard as she could out of her way, before following Anzu inside.

Rebecca made a `Tsss'-sound, before turning around, probably seeing where the almost-most-popular group was sitting. Anyway, back to most popular group.

"The thing what scares me is that you know the way inside this building! Anzu, you're a freak!" Bakura snorted, but shut his mouth as Anzu answered she was only following the sign `Cafeteria' at the wall.

"There it is. Mister Perky were here too today." Marik pointed at a table in the corner of the cafeteria, but suddenly noticed the whole group was still sitting there.

"Marik?" Anzu asked him, looking around in the cafeteria.

"What?"

"Have you ever noticed mister Perky looks like you? Not to mention I can also see a copy of Yami and Bakura!"

"So? I'm too cool to actually know nerds love us so much, they even do their hair like us." Marik patted Bakura's hair, receiving a punch back.

"And have you ever seen that nerdy group is with exactly 5 nerds? Exactly enough for one bet?" Anzu rambled on, making everybody sweatdrop at that very moment.

"You want me to make mister Perky love me?" Marik whispered, backing away a little bit. When Anzu nodded happily, Bakura suddenly pushed Yami aside.

"Better not waist any time winning Blue eyes!" He said, before actually walking toward the group. Everyone stared at him, while gasping.

"Humph. I think Bakura is right. I want the blond one." Kaiba said, before turning around, and walking to the door. That was totally Kaiba. Well, as far as everyone knew him. He would probably find some place alone, then `meet' Jou. Poor, poor, poor Jou.

Emmmm, Back to Bakura. No, make that back to the nerd group, as everyone at school called it.

"Guys? Can't you be serious about this for once?! I hope one day Marik won't hit you anymore, just because you won't wash your shirt anymore!" Ishizu said, while pointing at Malik's shirt.

"But he TOUCHED my shirt! I wanna keep his germs all over my body for the rest of my life!" Malik answered, while receiving a disgust look from Ishizu.

"Emmm, guys?" Jou tried to interrupt them, but it didn't quite work.

"But you KNOW how I hate dirty clothes!"

"Guys?"

"Jou, shut up. Ishi, MARIK touched my clothes. I LOVE him. Get the point?! I L-O-V-E him, even his germs! Suit yourself, since I don't mind dirty clothes!"

"GUYS!" Jou yelled, immediately turning red from embarrassment as the group turned their faces at him. A half second later they found out what Jou wanted to tell.

"Aloha here!" They heard an unknown voice behind their backs. When they turned around, they say Bakura standing there, looking as innocent as possible, failing miserably.

"What?! I'm in a very important conversation, you know!" Malik immediately answered, while Jou nearly fainted at his imprudent behavior.

"Go to hell, mister Perky. I'm awfully abandoned by my awfully mean group, and I thought someone hear could cheer me up. But if I'm not wanted here, I think I have to go back. Alone. Nobody to talk to. To listen to. To be with. Alone. Very alone. Very, VERY alone. And didn't I mention I would be alone?!" Bakura made a dramatically twirl, and ended up on Jou's lap. Jou immediately shrieked, tried to get him off, but didn't work too well.

"Easy, blonde. Forgot the dagger, so can't harm ya." This was probably the last drop for Jou, since he pushed Bakura off him, grabbed his bag, and ran off. Bakura snorted, but stopped it when he saw the angry faces of Malik, Ishizu and Yugi. Only one boy didn't seem to care. His book was obviously more important than his surroundings. And perhaps it was just I, or Bakura thought the same as I just thought.

"You look the same as I do." Bakura faked a gasp, while poking an elbow in Ryou's side. Ryou immediately looked up, but looked to the ground as he found out who was speaking.

"That's SO cool! I don't know who you are, yet we already have something in common! I think this is gonna be a hell of a friendship! So not to be rude, the name's Bakura. You can call me Bakura, Baku, Kura, Don't care. But that's not my point. 17 years old, second last grade. Hobbies are playing Duel Monsters, being bored as hell, playing more Duel Monsters, be more bored as hell, Surfing on the Internet, and of course hanging around with my group. Well, until they left me here! But I hope you'll change that. Have you got MSN? Or Yahoo? Well, I do. Please let me get a piece of paper, I'll give you me E-mail address. Emmm, sorry I forgot to ask you, but what's your name? Actually, you haven't said anything at all! Talk to me. I hope your voice is sweet, just like your appearance. Tell me!" Bakura said in one breath, completely making everybody sweatdrop. Ryou instead, looked at him curious, then turned his head to his book, and read further.

"Emmm ... did I talk too fast, or what?!" Bakura waved his hands in front of Ryou's eyes, But Ryou didn't answer.

"Peeps? Can somebody say WHY ONE EARTH he ignores me?!?!" Bakura turned his head to the other ones. Ishizu backed away a few inches, while Malik cocked his head to the other side of the cafeteria. That only left Yugi for giving Bakura an answer.

"Bakura? He doesn't talk."

"Haha, funny squirt. Peeps, who don't talk, are stupid! And I can see this boy isn't stupid! Else I wouldn't have waist my time talking to him!" Bakura imprudently said, unaware of Ryou's reaction. A slap. Immediately Yugi continued talking to Bakura, who was now painfully rubbing the sore spot on his cheek.

"Ryou doesn't get angry often. But I can see why he is now. Though he doesn't talk, he's not stupid." Yugi continued talking to Bakura. Immediately Bakura registered Ryou's name, since that would be twice as easy to talk. Then Bakura gave Ryou a single glare for hitting him, but suddenly remained silent and innocent. Marik arrived. That's probably why.

"Baku-chan! Leave me alone for these peeps! That's no fair! You forgot to kidnap me to this table too!" Marik stuck his nose in the air, while Malik immediately shrunk a few inches.

"Perhaps it could be just a simple conclusion. I. Do. Not. Want. You. Around. Me! Understand that?!" Bakura snorted into Marik's direction. Marik shot back a glare. Bakura snorted more. Marik glared more. This kept on going until Ishizu slammed her hand on the table, which caused the two popular ones to jump up.

"I didn't do it, I swear! It was Saturday, I was drunk. BAKURA FORCED ME TO DRUG HIM!!" Marik immediately shrieked, but growled some more when he found out it wasn't a teacher, but Ishizu.

"What the FUCK are you doing, witch?! Can't you see I'm busy making Bakura's life sour? Get lost, and ... wait a sec, friend of mister Perky. You know, just stay here. I've heard this from Bakura's Math teacher whose brother's girlfriend's sister talked to her haircutter's mother's best friend's son. That quite a trustable source, you know. He mentioned something about you being stalked. By a girl, he said. So, if I were you, I wouldn't react at ANY girls, saying they like you, or saying something along that line. I swear, before you know, you are kidnapped, and being raped by tons of dirty drunk-asses. Take my advice, it'll do you a world of good." Marik `innocently' smiled at Ishi, whom's face immediately lost all her color.

"Is my sis being stalked? COOL!" Malik cheered, looking at Marik intensely, but between his stare he took a peek at the door of the cafeteria. Nope, only the rest of the popular group. No stalker. Then he got a hit from Marik in return.

"Get lost, Mister Perky. Didn't ask you to SHUT YOUR MOUTH WHEN I'M TALK- ... Emmmm, I mean ... I emmmm ... YEAH, you're right. That's pretty cool. But still she's in danger. Perhaps I should sacrifice myself to protect her. And since you're a relative, I'll protect you too! Good, that's settled down." Marik hit changed to a friendly pat on Malik's back. Immediately Malik's face turned to crimson red, while a loud `EEP' escaped his mouth. He immediately covered his mouth, but Marik already heard it. He smiled cocky, thinking this bet would be too easy to win. Though he had a little problem seeing the fact he always picked on Mister Perky in the past.

"Marik, stop doing nerdy," Bakura suddenly interrupted Malik's embarrassment, " Emmm, sorry Ryou, but I'll guess I have to leave you. Me and Marik have something to argue about, AREN'T WE?!" Bakura eyed Marik, who growled, but stood up anyway.

"Well then. I'll be protecting you from tomorrow on, since tonight I emmm, have things to do ... emmm, Bakura, we're outta here. Bye mister Perky!" Marik hesitated a bit, but after a quick pat on Malik's head, he headed to the rest of the popular ones. Bakura followed suit.

"WHAT WAT THAT ALL ABOUT?!?!?" Ishi was the first one to let out a giant yell. She looked confused at the now leaving popular ones, then looked back at Ryou and Malik. Ryou was acting like nothing happened before, while Malik was still crimson red, while staring VERY confused into the nothingness.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. As long he does that more, it's fine by me! WOOHOO!! Now I won't wash my hair too for the rest of my life. They were touched my mister sexy. Touched by the tones of pure love. Ishi, and don't you DARE spraying me with a bucket of water. Else I'll go and find that stalker of you!" When Malik finally found his voice back, a flood of words came out. Ishi's reaction was expected. A disgusted look. Nothing new, by the way.

"Guys, this is getting strange. WHY were two popular boys here, and WHY did they show interest in you two?! I could only see a black aura, but that was nothing new. Marik never got a normal aura, same goes for Bakura. I don't know, but I think they're up to something." Yugi said, while peeking into Ryou's book. He received a soft smile back, while Ryou put the book on the table, so Yugi could see it better.

"Yugi, you have to learn being positive about some things. Marik just realized how cool and beautiful I am, and now wants to be my love forever!" Malik stuck his nose in the air.

"You're aura is changing color. You're ego is growing." Came the soft reply.

"I could tell my brother that, without seeing aura's ... ow, HEY JOU! Welcome back. Coast is clear. And I'm hoping too this was the only time Bakura was here." Ishizu waved at Jou, who had a flushed look while sitting down again.

"Jou, don't be scared. Bakura got a slap from Ryou, so he won't trouble us anymore." Yugi said. Jou turned his head to Ryou's side, only to receive a blush back.

"You did? Cool. I wish I had the guts to do something like that." Jou scratched his head, looking down once more.

"He never insulted you! Bakura said Ryou would be stupid if he really didn't talk." Malik said, while Ryou patted Jou's back.

"But I'm still wondering why they came here in the first place. Well, I think we'll never find out, unless I'll go through one of my out-of-body-experience again, and accidentally slip into their minds. It happened once, really. I could tell the nurse afterwards she lived once in America, until her mother died. Really scary. Luckily it happened only once." Yugi rambled through, still peeking at the page Ryou was currently reading.

"Would work for me. Then I could figure out how many hours my love thinks of me." Malik sighed dreamily, while staring outside, not seeing much view, seeing the fact the windows of the cafeteria were pretty dirty. Not that Malik minded much. He was obviously thinking of what tomorrow would bring for him.
