Chapter Two

All the papers had been handed in and Mrs. Ray was looking over them to see if they were filled in probably. While she was doing this people were talking or finishing their homework that was due for classes later in the day. Ryou wasn't talking for he had no one to talk to and he wasn't doing his homework because it had been done the night before. Ryou was taking this time to read. He was half way through the small red book that was in his hands and had only began the Sunday that was two days ago. Whenever he was at home alone Ryou didn't like to watch a lot of television like the rest of his peers did he loved to read. Whenever his Father came home he would bring Ryou home a book to read. Of course this was very often, but Ryou loved this visits as rare as they were.

Ryou turned the page and set it down. He looked around the room and noticed how happy all the other people in the class were. Why was it him that had to live his life? Why couldn't it be someone else? Ryou sighed and picked up his book. Trying to push those thoughts aside Ryou began to read again.

After about ten minutes of reading Mrs. Ray called out, "everyone on this side." She pointed to the first row and then the second one. "Will be picking names out of a hat, when they show me whose name they got you will then receive that person's paper. The next row will then pick names. Now I don't care if you don't like the person just try to do the project to the best of your abilities." She gave a little smile and then sat down at her desk thus beginning the calling up of names.

Ryou was about the third last person to go. When his name was called he quickly walked over to the desk took a name out of the hat and then quickly went back. The row was almost over and it was almost time to start on the second row, but not until Bakura Yamroh (1) went up to pick a name. He was a transfer student from Egypt and had been born in Japan. He had been given a Japanese last name because his father was Japanese and his mother was Egyptian. When Bakura's Mom and Dad got married they moved to Egypt and Bakura was born nine months later. For the first thirteen years of Bakura's life he spent it in Egypt. Then his Father got a transfer to Japan and moved thee whole family to Japan which included Bakura, his Mom, and Dad. He was the last person to pick a name for this row anyways and also the only person who had to repeat this class. This meaning he was older then everyone and therefore thought that he was better then everyone. When he got up he tipped over the chair. It hit the counter but luckily did not make a mark. When Bakura finally got up there he pulled the last name out, he then looked at the name and apparently wasn't happy by who he got.

"There is no way in Ra I'm doing this," Bakura said thrusting the paper to the ground where it floated down landing somewhere near the chalkboard. The class watched they knew that Bakura had a very short temper but nothing like this had ever happened.

"If you want to pass then you have to get the project done unless you want to be with me another year." Mrs. Ray simply stated.

Bakura looked at Mrs. Ray and then to the paper to the ground. He bent down picked the paper up and stalked angrily back to his desk. Ryou had yet to look at his paper. He had chosen not to look at it in the front of the class. He opened the paper and looked at the name that was written in Mrs. Ray's hand writing.

Ryou had gotten Seto Kaiba. Ryou was shocked. What possibly could a sixteen year old CEO want? Ryou glanced over to where Seto was sitting. He had his arms folded over his chest and didn't look too happy to be there.

"Kaiba, Seto," Mrs. Ray called out. Seto got off his chair and quickly walked over to the desk and put hid hand into the hat. He then pulled a paper out and without looking at it rushed back to his seat. Soon everyone had a name and Mrs. Ray was going around and giving the people their wish sheet. When she got to Ryou's spot he showed the paper to her and she went through her stack of papers that she was caring around. She went through all of them until she found Seto's sheet that was near the bottom. She then went to the next person. Ryou read the paper and was surprised to see that Seto had the same wish as he did. He knew Seto did not have a lot of friends, because Ryou often say him sitting in the library by himself reading or studying. At the time it hadn't come to Ryou that Seto didn't have a lot of friends he just thought Seto loved to study. Ryou also thought that Seto might want to get close with people because of his company.

Ryou sighed and folded the paper and then put in in his binder.

***** Seto's P.O.V. *****

I didn't want to do this 'wish project'. I hate school; I only go because it makes me feel like a normal teenager something that I'm not. I'm far from it. I own my own company, I have many cars even though I have yet to take drivers ed or whatever it is called, I was named the guardian of my little brother when I was still a pre-teen. I was still a child and there was no way that anybody other then family was going to look after my little brother. I also live in a mansion with servants.

Anyways back to this 'wish' thing the person I pulled from the hat was Ryou. I do know who this kid is. He sits beside me in English class, and is also in my gym class. Whenever we have to change he will take his gym clothes and change in a corner away from all the other boys. I haven't really talked to him. Well there was one time and it was brief. It was when I was in grade nine and we had been paired in home ec because both of our partners were not there. The baka teacher is now coming around and handing out the 'wish' sheets. I wonder what the little guy wants. Ryou seems to be a person that would be happy with anything he receives. The teacher gets to my desk and hands out the sheet; I look at it and see that Ryou wants a friend. That is the same wish as me. Is he really that alone? I look over to Ryou and see that he is reading. The bell rings and everyone quickly leaves the classroom I stay there slowly putting everything back into my briefcase. I take out my cell phone and dial my work.

"Hello Kaiba corp. Janet speaking" came the voice of my ditsy secretary.

"Hello, Janet. I'll be coming into work please phone my chauffeur and tell him to bring him to Kaiba corp." I said knowing that my brother probably didn't want to go home without me there.

"Right away sir" came the fast reply. I then hung up and put the phone into my briefcase.

*****

Lunchtime came fast. After English Ryou had his math class. He put his textbook and binder into his locker. He then grabbed his lunch and headed over to the lunchroom. It took no time to get there because Ryou's locker was luckily located near the lunchroom.

The lunchroom was a room that was painted a bright blue that was the school color. The mascot was painted on the far wall and underneath was painted in whit paint 'The Domino Fish.' There were about fifteen circular tables that were randomly placed around the room. At each table were eight chairs. If those eight chairs were not enough in each of the four corners there were a stack of ten chairs. Ryou walked over to his spot that was near the window. He had had this spot ever since had been in grade nine. For having being labeled a loner as soon as he stepped in Domino High.

Ryou sat down and took his usual spot that was facing the window. Today Ryou had brought a book that his Father had in a box and had never unpacked it. Ryou who had been going through the boxes last Sunday found the book and began to read. Instead of putting a sense of order to the basement Ryou curled up on the chair and read. Ryou turned the page and took out his lunch. Today he had gotten up early and made his lunch. He had made a salad with thousand island dressing in a little container. Ryou liked to eat healthy and preferred making his food rather then buying cafeteria food. He had also brought a couple juice boxes, and a fork. Taking the lid off the salad Ryou had an easy feeling. Like someone one was behind hi. Ryou turned around and there was Seto Kaiba standing, briefcase in hand.

"Can I sit with you?" Seto asked motioning to the remaining seven seats open. Ryou nodded and cleared an area where Seto could eat. Soon Seto was sitting right across from Ryou eating his lunch while occasionally looking at Ryou.

"What book are you reading?" Seto asked seeing the red book by Ryou's lunch bag.

"It's a book on chess," Ryou simply explained not having anyone interested in what was reading before.

Seto's eyes turned wide, "Could I please see it?" Ryou nodded and handed the book over to Seto. Seto looked over the cover and was shocked. Why would Ryou be reading a book on Chess? No less the title was 'How to play Chess.' Did Ryou play chess?

"You play chess?" Seto asked wanting that question out of his mind.

Ryou nodded, "I began to learn when I was nine, but then my Father didn't have time for me anymore it just him and his job." Ryou paused and then took a deep breath, "I found this book and decided maybe I could teach it to myself because playing against a computer isn't always fun." 'I know the feeling' Seto thought to himself. 'Ryou is so much like me it is uncanny. He has no parents that are around and yet he survives probably going by each day with a fake smile for the world to see. Why do people always exclude those who are different?' Seto looked down at the table and sighed. Suddenly his phone rung the voices in the cafeteria and the muffled sound of when it was in a confined space. Seto picked up his briefcase and opened it. He picked up the phone on the third ring.

"Hello," He said waiting for a response.

"Hi big brother." Came his young brother Mokuba's voice.

"I wanted to ask you a question."

"Okay shoot."

"Could I please go to Nick's after school please," Mokuba pleaded.

Not liking saying no to his brother Seto said, "Yes but bring your phone and phone me to pick you up."

"Okay thank you, See you later." And with a click the conversation was done. Seto clicked the off button and set the phone on the table. He then looked at Ryou who seemed very interested in his salad at the moment. On the spur of the moment Seto asked "do you want to come over tonight?"
