“MARIK!!” Bakura yelled on the top of his lungs at the Egyptian teen a little distance away. Marik cocked his head to Bakura, and grumbled when he noticed it was just Bakura.

 

“What do you want, ass?” Marik grumbled some more, but when Bakura put a paper under his face, he stopped the noise immediately.

 

“I think I'm winning the bet. I mean, Ryou wrote me a LETTER. Only for me. And because you're okay, you were allowed to read it.” Marik grumbled a bit, but read the paper anyway. Well, not that there was much written on it, but Bakura was happy about it anyway.

 

“So, Marik ... what are ya gonna do about the fact I'M WINNING? Perhaps giving my your cards will be a start, since you won't be THAT humiliated this way.” Bakura grabbed his paper back again, before studying it again.

 

“You know, my loyal cock-sucking friend. Ever seen such fucking perfect handwriting?! Or he must be transsexual, or just gay! And I'm hoping for the last one!” Bakura grinned seductively, folding the paper, and putting it back into his bag. He was really dying to show the paper to Yami and Mai, showing off he was winning the bet, then he would throw it away, since he had no other reason to keep it, except for the fact this could nag Yami, which Bakura loved to do.

 

“You're getting a bit light in your head, Baku-chan. It's just a word, and it's probably written when he tried to escape you! Anyway, I was too busy last night to even THINK of how to bed Mister Perky ... but I'm a pro, and I'm one year older than you ... in fact, you're the youngest of our group, yet you have the biggest mouth ... I wonder what will become of you if you fail this bet, and your exams this and following year! Probably nothing better than your little non-talking prey what's-his-name-again!” Marik smacked Bakura's head, but Bakura wasn't impressed by Marik's threats.

 

“Excuse my, Mister Super-dude! Nobody can beat my good looks and brilliant thinking! Besides, where WERE you yesterday?! I missed you on MSN! Your the only one I can convince to talk to me `till 4 in the morning!!”

 

“Just check the papers tomorrow.” Marik coolly replied, before walking away. Perhaps Bakura DID make a point. He didn't see Mister Perky today yet, but if he searched a bit, he would probably find him with ease.

 

But when Marik opened the school building his thoughts changed immediately. The canteen was easy to find, since that was the only spot, except for the exit, he knew to find. Where the FUCK could his prey be?!?!

 

Marik growled low, thinking how Bakura ever FOUND his prey in the deep depths of what was named school.

 

#########

 

Marik walked through a corridor, not knowing where he went. Well, not that it mattered, since he only needed to find his prey. And since he didn't know where his prey was, there was no excuse for getting a map of the school and its deep depths.

 

Marik sighed heavily, while randomly cursing. Last night it got pretty late, and his little sister wouldn't sleep after he got home. At 6 in the morning. Damn kid. But she was sweet anyway.

 

“This is getting useless. Then just go back to canteen.” Marik mumbled to himself, before randomly turning into another corridor. Well, for as much as he could call it a corridor. There was a little window as the only light-source on the whole hallway. On top of that the end couldn't be seen, and there was hanging a sort of haze in the abandoned corridor. Marik just shrugged his shoulder, and walked further. Well, for a mere second. He abruptly turned around, as a picture of Mister Perky came into his mind. The little twit was a sissy and too chicken for going into such place like this! Besides, this wasn't the good way! There was no sign on the wall with the words `canteen' or `exit' on it. Damn. He was lost.

 

“Shit.” Marik cursed slightly, turning around, but then rethinking his mind, and decided against his will to walk further, through the empty and abandoned corridor. After all, he was already lost. Perhaps if he crossed this, he would get straight to the exit. Then he would wait for lunch, and then begin befriending Minster Perky.

 

Easy said, too bad it was not easily done. Half of the way Marik thought he got lost in anything BUT a school. Why the FUCK didn't the light work?! This was school, a place where things needed to work, just like its students. Only then figurative.

 

Marik sighed some more, while slowly making his way through the corridor. Luckily his eyes could see perfectly in the dark, since he practiced much during the night he had to go out and be Mister Super-dude, as Bakura called him. Tsss, the youth of these days, don't have any respect for the real standard American-heroes! Well, besides the fact he was an Egyptian, and he lived in Japan, he could PERFECTLY fit into that picture! Batman wouldn't equal him in Domino. Nope. Here in this town he was the number one. Though nobody know it was him, but that was not Marik's point.

 

“There IS a god!” Marik sighed heavily, while his lips curled a bit, his way of smiling. He could already see light at the end of the fucking corridor, and he could hear voices from other dumber students, which would probably be freshmans or sophomores.

 

Marik walked some further, until he stood completely in the light again. Saved. Now figure out where the exit is. Hmmm, where did those voices went to. Probably freshmans, since older kids wouldn't scream as dumb as they were doing!

 

“HEY YO DUMB-ASS!!! WHERE'S DA E-

 

Scrap his last comment. Older kids CAN scream dumb. Especially kids like Mister Perky and the rest of the nerd-squad.

 

“ ... I ummm ... I ...” Marik suddenly lost all his words, and started to stuttered badly. Ryou cocked a brow, thinking why his older look-a-like didn't have such moments. Nope, all Bakura could do was talk.

 

Malik, on the other hand, had also problems talking. But that was probably because his undying love for the stuttering predator in front of him.

 

Back to Marik. After 2 minutes of staring to his prey, he finally found back his voice. So he talked. And that was not the only surprise. Nobody ever knew Marik had nice and decent words in his vocabulairy, but from today it would be proven that Marik HAD.

 

“I'm am SO truly sorry for ... for ummm ... well, anyway, I'm sorry!!! Mister Perky ... Emmm, I mean ... emmm ... OW I KNOW!! My very bestest best sweet cutie-pie, I was looking for you! How can I protect you from evil and mean bastards if I'm not with you?! So ... what lesson have ya got now, pumpkin?” Geez ... that sounded so ... soppy ... and cheesy. Marik could be proud of himself!

 

Malik, on the other hand, was yet AGAIN, too lost for talking. Hell, even stuttering would be too difficult for him! Pumpkin? Why on earth would his personal bully call him `Pumpkin'?! Malik didn't understand it anymore. Well, not that he minded it much ... but that was a minor detail at the moment.

 

“I ummm ... I ....” Malik nearly repeated the same words Marik said few moments ago, only he hadn't a comeback, something Marik DID have.

 

“Sssst, sugar, actions speak louder than words. It's okay for me you don't wanna talk, so please don't stutter. Now, before I'll go protecting you, you should know that I need to know when you have lessons, and when not. So if you can PLEASE give me something, a paper will be fine, where is written on all your lessons, that would be a lot easier for little me to know where you are. Well, of course only you want to give me that.” Marik made a happy-go-lucky smile, while thinking this was getting too easy.

 

“You mean a timetable, don't you, Mister Marik?” Yugi interrupted Marik's thinking, receiving nearly a hit in response.

 

“SHUT U- I mean ... yes! A timetable! Thank you SO much for the helping! But ummm ... can you make a copy of your timetable, or don't you want to show me the little paper, sugar?” Marik turned his head to Malik again, thinking about renting a bully for the little pipsqueak in the mean time. That way Yami would have troubles bed Yugi, since he would be in hospital then.

 

“I ummm ... o-okay ...” Malik finally formed a whole word, which made Marik even happier. He was SO good at this!!

 

“Well then, shall I make a copy of it, or do YOU wanna do it? I don't care, as long as I can be with you!” Marik playfully poked Malik's chest, while saying the `you'.

 

“But Mister Marik, I don't wanna interrupt you and your conversation with your sugar-pie, but he has a lesson now. And also a shame we have to hurry, since else the mean school ghost will eat us all!” Yugi piped, answering instead of Malik, who was still having trouble talking. But then again he had also problems breathing. An undying love for a bully is pretty hard, I can tell you.

 

“What da F*C- Emmm, I mean ... Oow Dear god, what are you talking about? Why does a ghost -IF there is one- eat us?! You're a dwarf, which means a ghost wouldn't quite spend a hunt for a little pipsqueak like you. And I am god's gift to the world, I won't be eaten either. And my pumpkin won't be eaten too, since he's one: too handsome to be eaten, and two: he's protected by me. Well, perhaps your ghost will eat the albino, but that's not something I care for. Emmm ... oopsy-daisy, look what you made me say! You made me say something bad, you FUC- I mean ... you ... you meany-head!” Marik pouted, while searching comfort at Malik's shoulder. Now only hope Mister Perky would forgive him, then everybody would be happy again. Well, he would be anyway.

 

“But I ... I ...” Yugi's eyes suddenly watered, while his legs gave in, so he slid down on the floor.

 

“I'm so sorry ...” Yugi whispered, while fighting against the upcoming tears. Immediately Ryou and Jou kneeled down next to Yugi, to comfort him, leaving Malik behind, still facing his predator.

 

“Emmm ... well, though I'd LOVE to chatter more, and make a copy of your time-thingy, I think I've got lesson now ... well, actually, I haven't got a clue which lesson I usually have ... I'll tell you what, if YOU make a copy, I'll see you around lunch again, then we can chatter some more!” When Yugi nearly collapsed, he suddenly felt a little bit less sure of himself. Perhaps this would be a great time to go with the flow and get the hell outta here before he would ruin his bet.

 

“Well, see you around lunchtime, pumpkin!” Marik smiled once more before disappear into the hazy corridor again. That was one place he's know the dwarf wouldn't follow them. Geez. Ghosts. How on earth did he get that idea? Though this corridor was hazy, it wasn't like a ghost lived inside these walls somewhere. Although ... perhaps could this information be relevant in future times. Especially in future times if Yami would get on the upper hand -which Marik highly doubted, but just in case- and would actually WIN their bet.

 

#########

 

“I'll get my sister, she probably knows what to do. Come-on, Yugi. Marik didn't mean those things he said. He was just trying to be nice, and ... well, he failed miserably.” Malik started to dream again, not quite paying attention to the shorter teen in front of him on the floor.

 

They were still in the corridor, ever since Yugi nearly collapsed because of the sudden `rage' of Marik, as Jou called it. Now they were probably getting too late for their next class, but seeing Yugi panting and crying, they all thought they had a great excuse to miss PE.

 

Malik was already moving, probably to get his sister, when Ryou helped Yugi up. Jou just stood there, not knowing what to do. Well, in these situations, Jou never knew what to do. Nasty habit of him, nothing more. Too bad also nothing less.

 

“Emmm ... guys ... should I go and say that Yugi fainted? I-I don't us to get into troubles, you know.” Jou spoke up, when Yugi found the strength to stand up for himself.

 

“Yeah, Jou ... but if you see Ishi, just tell her to come over here. Thanks, and no, you're really helpful, so don't think negative about yourself again!” Malik snapped out of his thoughts, while answering Jou's question. Jou's eyes lit up a little bit, smiling as an understanding.

 

“Bye. And good luck, Yugi!” Jou waved goodbye, and walked away, leaving Yugi behind with The Perky and the Silent one. Well, not that they would need his help, Jou thought. He was too scared for helping his friends. Hell, he was scared for everything! Luckily his friends understood, and he had finally found his place in this school. As a scared chicken-head. But it was a place. And it was always better than being a nothing between the something's.

 

Jou turned to his right after a good minute walking. Immediately he regretted it. And immediately he felt his head become light, his blood-pressure raise, and his cheeks colour high red.

 

“Hello, Jou.” The stern voice pierced into his ears. Damn guy. Couldn't he just blackmail him, or persuade him, instead of playing this kind of GAME with him?!

 

“H-Hello, Kaiba.” He answered. Well, that was a relief. His voice was still there. He was getting better at these confronting situations. He was good!

 

“You didn't answer my question in the morning. And I don't like people who twirl and twist around the truth. Now, do you want to have lunch with me, or do I have to make you have lunch with me? Your choice. Choose well, my friend.”

 

“ ... I emmm ... I-I …” Jou's voice remarkable became high-pitched, probably only heard by dogs.

 

“Easy there. You're too wind up. Relax for once. Think about it. This is your chance to get fame at school. It is NOT everyday I ask someone to join my side for having lunch. And by the way, you don't need to be so formal. Just call me Seto. No, make that Seto-chan.”

 

“W-WHAT?!” Jou finally managed to choke out. This was definitely NOT the plan. He was supposed to get away by Yugi, and warn his teacher why he and his friends were so late! Not being blackmailed and persuaded by the famous KAIBA!!

 

“You heard me. You're special, so you can give me a nickname. And if you won't, I guess I'll just have to MAKE you call me that. Emmm, lets see. I'll just hug you in front of every person here on school, until you call me by my first name, with the -chan, of course. And by the way, only my brother is permitted to do that. There, doesn't that makes you feel special? Can we have lunch together now?”

 

“I-I...” Jou was totally lost for words. But then again, he though everyone in his shoes would be this scared. Wait. That was not correct. He was the most scared boy from school. Everybody would probably dare to say something back to the CEO in from of him. Damn him! He was such a sissy! But for now, he was just pissed. Pissed and pissed off.

 

“LEAVE ME ALONE! I-I DON'T WANT Y-YOU AROUND ME!!! S-So stop harassing me!!” Jou suddenly screamed, so the whole corridor could hear it. Well, that was NOT Jou's plan! Time to get out of here!

 

“Emmm ... goodbye ... Seto.” Jou flushed, saying the last word, while sprinting away. Well, hopefully he wouldn't see Kaiba again. Hug him?! Jikes! THAT would be a VERY scared thought.

 

Now, where did he stay. Ow yeah, the teacher. Warn him. That would be 10 minutes ago. Geez, wonder why Jou thought Yugi would be earlier than him in PE. Figures.

 

#########

 

“Ryou, can you go with him?” Malik asked Ryou, who still was supporting Yugi, who was semi-onconsious. Since Jou hadn't come back, Malik thought Jou could be in troubles, which meant he was have to go and rescue him.

 

When Ryou nodded, Malik immediately sprinted away, already having 100 reasons in mind why Jou didn't come back. He could be killed, bullied, scared, hurt, in love, too chicken, unconscious, beaten, hurt ... oww wait, he already thought that. Well, you get the point.

 

When Malik was out of sight, Yugi sighed sadly, while Ryou motioned him to come with him, to the school doctor. There Yugi could rest for a while, and wouldn't cause any troubles for his fellow students. That was of course only if Yugi would go on a rampage, something he doesn't do often.

 

“Sorry, Ryou.” Yugi pouted a bit, while hanging loosely against Ryou's body, too dizzy to walk for himself. Ryou just smiled, although he knew Yugi wouldn't see it.

 

When they turned to their right, Ryou suddenly halted. Another predator. That's why.

 

“What happened here?! Little one, are you alright?” Yami `accidentally' passed by on the very moment they walked though the corridor, and was now worried about his prey. Who's name was yet to figure out.

 

“Y-Yami??” Yugi mumbled softly, leaning some more against Ryou, who was fiddled with confusion. Why was Yami being so nice to Yugi all of a sudden?

 

“Shall I help you? Or is your white-haired friend strong enough to carry you to the school doctor?” Yami asked, but before Ryou could possibly shake his head, said predator walked over to Yugi, and lift him up in his arms. Yugi couldn't reject much, since everything suddenly turned black, and he came unconscious.

 

“What's his name anyway?” Yami asked Ryou, who seemed to have troubles seeing Yugi in Yami's arms. Who knew what Yami was up to with his friend!

 

After a short moment without getting any answer, Yami suddenly remembered that Bakura stated on MSN last night his bitch didn't talk. Figures. Why then would the twit answer him in words? Hmmmm.

 

“Never mind. I'll bring him. Just go to your lesson.” Yami waved, as far as he could with Yugi in his arms, Ryou goodbye, then turned around, and walked to a particular corridor.

 

“So ... now just have to wait until you wake up ...” Yami mumbled, while walking further. This would, of course, a lot easier if he knew where he could find the school doctor's office.

 

“Hmmmm ...” After a little minute walking he felt the petit boy stir in his arms, and trying to turn around. When that didn't work, he squeezed his eyes more shut, then opened them fully. Big, angsty, innocent eyes met Yami's.

 

“WAAAH!!” Yugi squeaked, while wiggling out of Yami's grasp. Not that it helped much. Yami didn't let him go, until he saw a chair. He halted, and put Yugi on the chair. Immediately he saw the little boy twiddle a bit, before looking up.

 

“Where are my friends?” He asked. You could easily hear the fear ringing though his voice. But what had Yami expected else? He and this little boy never met, until this morning!

 

“They asked me to help you, so I did. Can you tell me what happened, if you're still dizzy, your name, if something is hurting, and where the school doctor is?” There. Now hopefully the little twit wouldn't notice he, number one popular guy on school, didn't knew his prey's name yet. Too bad Yugi DID notice the question between other ones.

 

“M-My name, Mister Yami? ... Y-Yugi ... Yugi Mutoh ... and I just blacked out ... emmm happens more to m-me ... a-and I feel just a little bit dizzy ... nothing hurts, really ... and the nurse is 2 corridors from here ... shall I walk myself so you can go to your lesson again, Mister Yami?” Yugi's eyes gained, if were possible, more innocence while asking his question, before looking down again and breathing softly in and out.

 

“Alone?! Well of course not. Why would I want to leave you all alone, so dizzy you and your cute ass have to go to the doctor's office alone? Yugi, I'll come with you. Since we're friends now, I'm helping you!” Yami didn't hesitate, already seeing a Blue eyes laying next to his Harpy-set, and pulled Yugi up. Yugi twiddled a little bit more, but then stood still again.

 

“C-Cute ass, Mister Yami?” He asked shyly, his cheeks colouring a little redder, but before he got an answer, Yami decided he said too much, grabbed Yugi's hand, and pulled him slowly in the direction Yugi told him to.
