There is a little more swearing in this chapter courtesy of Yugi, Selene, Jake, Damien, Jason, and Derek. They all have quite a store of curses in their heads.

You all know the rest.

~*~*~*~Last time~*~*~*~

`Damn,' Yugi thought, `looks like I won't get to eat my lunch after all.'

Yugi eyes hardened as he turned to face his ex-friends and yami. "Well, well," he said as he slowly turned in his seat, his eyes hard and a smirk plastered on his face, "look who we have here. Looks like the gang decided to pay us a visit." Then his violet eyes yet again met scarlet and he said, "Hello again, Yami."

~*~*~*~On with the story~*~*~*~

Yami had held out going to see his hikari for as long as he could, which suffice to say was not very long at all. Maybe ten minutes at most. Finally he just got up and told the rest of the table where he was going, not bothering to see if they were coming or not, though he sensed that they were.

Yami found the six of them sitting in a rather secluded area of the courtyard and they look like they had all just gotten over a huge laughing fit. Suddenly Selene stiffened and her eyes hardened, she was quickly followed by the two boys, the one with the red hair and the one with the ebony hair. This too was followed by the same reaction from those that had their backs to him and the others, and he knew that they knew exactly who was behind them.

Yugi slowly turned in his seat and Yami say his eyes harden and a smirk appear on his face as he said, "Well, well, look who we have here. Looks like the gang decided to pay us a visit." Then his eyes met Yami's and he said, "Hello again, Yami."

"Hello Yugi." Yami said. "I need to talk to you."

Yugi's smirk widened, "Anything you need to say, you can say in front of my friends." Yugi said gesturing to Selene, Damien, Jake, Jason, and Derek. He guessed that that would probably sting his ex-friends, and by the looks on their faces he guessed right.

"Yugi, we want to say that we're sorry for ignoring you two years ago." Jonouchi said, his eyes pleading.

"It took you two damn years to say you're sorry and you expect me to forgive you just like that. No chance in hell." Yugi said, sneering. In truth he could see that the others did truly want to make it up to him, but he meant what he said. He wasn't going to forgive them so easily.

"And," Selene suddenly said, "if you're sorry, then why the hell did I have to scream the facts into your damn faces three freakin' years ago?" As she said this her voice contained only anger.

"Yugi please, come back to us." Anzu suddenly spoke up.

"Shit you, who the hell says that I forgive that easily for anyone but my real friends." Yugi said. He could see tears gathering in her eyes, but after what they did to him, he couldn't honestly care less.

"Back off Yugi, that was too harsh." Jonouchi said.

Now this really pissed Yugi off. He stood up in anger. "You tell me to back off when you all did worse to me! Who the hell told you to back off then! No one! Not a damn one of you realized exactly what I was going through, how many times I cried myself to sleep!" he shouted. Yami, Honda, Jonouchi, Anzu, Ryou, and Bakura were shocked. They had never seen Yugi get angry, much less down right pissed. This was just testament to how much they'd hurt him.

Selene, sensing that her friend was about to blow, stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder. He seemed to calm slightly as he glanced back at her and he smiled slightly. And this just sent a wave of well-hidden jealousy coursing through Yami. Then Damien stood up to say his piece.

"If all you're going to do is stand there and spout old news then I suggest you leave." He said coldly, his sapphire eyes flashing with hidden power and malice.

Yami, ignoring him, turned his eyes once again to Yugi, "Hikari, please-" But he was interrupted by Yugi.

"Just shut up. Only my friends can call me that. You lost that right long ago. You lost that right when you left me ALONE!" Yugi said. Despite the fact that he hated saying it out loud, he knew that it was true. Only his real friends called him that and no one in the group in front of him could be considered a real friend, not after what they did.

Jonouchi looked like he was about to speak again but was cut off by Derek who stood up, shortly followed by Jason and Jake. "I suggest you all leave unless you want another lesson like yesterday's. I can guarantee you that any of us could easily do that to any of you. Just remember I did say you'd have to get past me to get to them and I know that you'll have to get past every last one of us to get to Yugi." Jake, Jason, Damien, and Selene nodded in agreement to what Derek had said.

All of them, especially Yami, looked like leaving was the last thing that they wanted to do, but they also all knew about what had happened the day before and they could tell by the look in Derek's eyes that he wasn't lying. Yami sent his hikari one last regretful look as they turned around and left.

When Yami and the others were out of sight they all sat down and sighed.

"Well," Jake said quite sarcastically, "that was certainly fun. Anyone else want to do it again?"

With those words the tensions surrounding them lifted a little and everyone let out a forced laugh.

"You guys really didn't have to defend me like that." Yugi said.

"Well, we meant what we said. We will do anything for you and they will have to get past every last one of us to get to you." Selene said, smiling.

"Thanks, but what happens if Yami gets desperate and uses his shadow powers. You could all be killed." Yugi said worriedly, he really hated the thought of his friends hurt, much less dead.

"So," Jake said.

"We will do anything to defend you Hikari. Doesn't matter what. And," Jason said as he saw Yugi about to argue, "don't try and tell us otherwise. We know very well that you would do the exact same thing."

That shut Yugi up and he smiled at his friends. "Thanks guys, that means a lot to me."

"No sweat Hikari, no sweat." Derek said. Then the bell rang, ending a most interesting lunchtime.

TBC…..

AN: So, what did you all think? I hope you're happy with the beat down Yugi gave Yami and the others, and trust me this isn't the end of it. There is a lot more to come.
