Tiger_Serenity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Normal P.O.V.
The final bell of the day split the eardrums of the students in the classroom, signaling the arrival of the weekend. Several cheered as they sprang from their chairs. Jounouchi Katsuya jerked in his as he came back from his wayward thoughts. No! I’m not finished yet!
“For those of you that still have your tests, please turn them in as you leave. Have a great weekend.” Mr. Batto erased the board as they began to shove books into their bags. He enjoyed watching his students make plans. He had been invited to many of their parties, much to the horror of his fellow colleagues. He was considered the coolest teacher in the school. “I hope those of you that duel are practicing for the upcoming tournament. Will any of you be able to knock Yugi from his throne this year?”
The afore mentioned student blushed bright pink as he walked out the door. Batto just laughed. Many of the students grumbled good naturally about the Duel Monster’s protégé that attended their school.
As the students continued filtering out the door, acting as all young people do, he noticed that Jounouchi had yet to move from his seat. He saw blue eyes that settled on Jou briefly, change to an odd emotion for the normally cold exterior, before exiting the room. “Jounouchi, why are you still here?”
“I didn’t finish my test, sir.” Jou sighed.
“Why not?” Batto just shook his head sadly.
“I thought I had more time. Guess not, huh?” Jou gave a small sad smile.
Batto sat down backwards in the chair in front of Jou. The seat originally held one Ryou Bakura. “You had another argument with him didn’t you? You were so distracted that you couldn’t concentrate.”
Jou stuttered in shock. “How…” Jou stared into the face of his teacher.
“Do you think I am blind, Jou? I can see the looks you give him from across the room. I see your face after your daily argument outside my room. I heard the one from today. They’re getting bad aren’t they? Almost to physical blows?” He laid his hand on Jou’s shoulder.
“Yea.” Jou sighed before slumping forward in his seat. His eyes were slightly glazed.
“Why do you fight with him so much? What could possibly have this much confliction between you two…besides Duel Monsters?”
“I don’t know…He calls me names for canines. He treats me like shit. I just…I hate him.” Jou whispered quietly.
“No you don’t” Batto gave a low knowing chuckle.
“Yes I do.” Jou hissed bat hat him.
“You are only trying to fool yourself, Jou. But, you are not fooling me. I think you fight with him because you think it is the only way to get close to him. Maybe you should tell him.”
“Are you crazy?!” Jou looked like he was almost ready to cry. “He would just laugh his fool head off, or kill me. Or he could do both.” His head sank to lay on top of his test.
“You might be surprised.” Jou missed the small smirk that crossed heacheacher’s face.
He watched Jou think for a second. His eyes snapped up to stare into his. “What do you mean?”
“Nothing. Just that you should say something. This is your last year after all. Now, I will give you five minutes more on that test. Get to work.”
“Yes, sir.” Jou leaned back over his test and started writing with a flourish.
Batto stood back up and walked to the front of the room. The stack of English tests looked daunting on top of his desk. “Looks like I’m not going to have much of a weekend.”
Jou snickered. “Nope.”
“Remember this, Jou. If you ever need someone to talk to about anything, you can come to me. Okay?”
“Thank you.”
Batto again thought about his two stubborn-headed students. If they only knew… A slow slightly evil-like smile spread across his face as a plan began to form.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Jou?” Yugi set his hand on his best friend’s shoulder. His eyes had taken on a far off sad look while walking down the street. “Are you okay?”
“Huh? What? Oh yea, I’m fine, Yug.” Jou shook his head to clear his mind of blue piercing eyes. “Just thinking about all of the things that I have to do this weekend.”
“Oh. Are you going to have time to practice with us for the tournament next weekend?”
“Yea. I don’t have that much to do. It’s not like practicing is going to help me in the long run. You two are just going to win together again. Speaking of which, where is Yami?”
The puzzle around Yugi’s neck glowed softly. A figure materialized around the corner. “Right here, Jou.”
“AAugh!!” Jou jerked backwards, landing ungracefully onto his backside. He glared up at the figure trying valiantly to contain his laughter. “How many times have I asked you not to do that, Yami?”
“Yami, that was mean.” Yugi attempted to admonish his soul mate, but he was also having trouble holding his mirth.
“Go ahead, you two.” Jou found himself joining their laughter as he picked himself up off the ground. “You think I would be used to that by now. How long has it been? Three years?”
“Yea. Can you believe it, Jou. We’re seniors.” Yugi bounced on his heels. “Senioritis has begun!”
“One more month and I will be watching you both accept your diplomas.” Yami smiled.
“It’s so bizarre. Everything is changing. We will be going to college soon, Yug. Sometime I can‘t believe that I was even accepted.”
“Yea, and we will be roommates! And don‘t put yourself down. Just because Kaiba calls you an idiot doesn‘t mean you are one. You are quite intelligent.” Yugi laughed as he punched Jou lightly in the arm.
“Thanks, Yug.“ Jou smiled ruefully. Then, he paused after really thinking about Yugi’s first comment. “Uh…I’m not so sure if I would be able to sleep through the night with you two…uh..well you know.” Jou blushed.
“Or we could just get rooms with a connecting door between us. That way you could knock first before coming in to visit.” Yugi blushed softly. “You wouldn’t walk in on us…doing anything.”
“That sounds like a better plan.” Yami laughed.
“It’s still hard to think that you two are lovers. Geesh, you look so much alike it’s scary.
Are you sure you’re not masochistic, Yug?”
“Jou! Yes!” Yugi blushed as Yami grinned hungrily at his partner. Jou could tell Yami just said something very suggestive over their mind link from the deepening of the blush .
Seto… “Well, let’s get moving so we can get all this homework done. I want as much time as possible to practice. I am going to try my damn best to beat Kaiba this year.” Jou began jogging toward the game shop.
Yami and Yugi shared a small knowing smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The weekend was drawing to a close. Yugi sat behind the counter of the Turtle game shop ringing up the total for a customer. He was again asked to sign his autograph on a piece of paper after handing back her change. His hand was beginning to hurt. His eyes still held spots from all the pictures that had been taken with fans over that last hour.
/Yami are you sure you don’t want to take over for a while?/
//Is it getting to be too much for you, love?//
/Yeah./
//I don’t know… The last time I had this girl hanging all over my neck that wouldn’t let go. She insisted that she wanted a kiss. Remember? I was so close to sending her to the Shadow Realm I almost displayed the eye to a room full of people.//
/Yea, I remember. I was so mad I almost let you./
//You were so jealous I could have felt it from half way around the world without the puzzle acting as a link between us.// Yami teased.
“It’s Yugi Mutou!” A high pitched shriek erupted from the open door.
“Oh no…not again” Yugi groaned softly. Yami laughed in his head. He was again swamped by girls fussing over him, pulling at his clothes, and playing at his tri-colored hair.
“Is it natural?”
“Do you dye it?
“Where do you get it done?” The questions were sprung so rapidly on him, his head was starting to swim.
“It’s natural.” Yami’s cool voice came out of Yugi’s mouth. He slowly took over for Yugi.
They looked so much alike now the change was barely noticeable. Yugi’s hair had streaked to match Yami’s two years ago while spending time with the Dark Magician. The only difference was the eye color and voice. Too subtle for people to really notice. “We do have to close the store soon, ladies.” He pointed to the clock on the wall.
They all gave a high-pitched whine that made Yami flinch. He really hated this side of being famous. /Now you know how I was feeling a second ago./
//Oh be quiet.// Yugi laughed. He was playing with Kuriboh in his soul room.
“All right ladies you heard the young man. It’s closing time.” A laughing tone came from the front of the store.
“What? Mr. Batto, what are you doing here?” He scribbled Yugi’s signature several times on pictures and handed them to the gushing girls. They ran out shrieking, leaving the shop gloriously empty for once that day.
Batto leaned forward and stared into Yami’s eyes. “Hello, Yami. Just the person to whom I wanted to talk.”
“Hello, Mr. Batto. How may I help you?”
“It’s honestly amazing.” He shook his head laughing “I don’t see how they can’t tell the difference between the two of you.” Batto glanced back outside to the girls pressing their noses to the glass. They were waving at the slightly blushing Yami.
“You couldn’t for a while.” Yami smirked. “They’re just too dense to notice.”
“I wouldn’t have know about you at all if you had kept your hormones to yourself while Yugi was at school. Honestly, the faculty bathroom…” Yami blushed bright red at the memory of Batto walking in on them mid-tango. He buried his head in his hands to hid it.
That had to have been the most embarrassing experience of his undead life. They had been forced to quickly explain the whole situation, then make him promise to never tell anyone. With a threat of being sent to the Shadow Realm from Yami while viewing the Sennen eye on his forehead, he had quickly agreed.
Yami walked over to release the shutters. They rattled down to cover the now depressed faces of the girls. He could hear their whines through the glass. He shuddered. With a flash he split from Yugi.
“Hello, Mr. Batto. To what do we owe this visit?” Yugi smiled.
“I need to talk to Yami for a few minutes.”
“What about, sir?”
“I think it’s time that a certain two young men realize how much they care about each other instead of yelling at each other daily.”
“Jounouchi and Kaiba?” Yugi blinked confused.
“Yes.” Batto nodded. “I have a plan, but I am going to need Yami’s specialty to mat wot work and appear like a fluke occurrence.
“Specialty?” Yami was confused and his face showed it.
“Your magic.”
Yami reared back to stare at the teacher in shock. “I can’t just perform magic for any reason, Mr. Batto.”
“I think you will agree when you hear my plan.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the end of the conversation Yugi and Yami were grinning.
“See you tomorrow boys.” Batto walked out the door, whistling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Ugh, Yug. Can this day get any worse?” Jou sighed as he walked toward the last class. Under his breath he sang a song by The Bangles.
“It's just another manic Monday.
I wish it was Sunday.
'Cause that's my funday.
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday”
“Anyone have a leash? The dog’s loose.” An amused cold voice came from behind Jou’s back.
“Why did I say anything?!” Jou felt like crying. He whirled to face his greatest antagonist “Back off, Kaiba. I have had a really bad day!”
In fact he had. First class he made a really stupid comment that had the entire class close to tears of laughter, including the teacher. Second class he realized that he had forgotten to do the fifty point assignment. He fell asleep in third hour, gaining himself yet another detention. Fourth hour he realized that he had forgotten his lunch at home, forcing him to eat cafeteria food that wasn‘t dead yet. Fifth hour his locker jammed causing him to wait half an hour for a portly pock-faced man to come open it. Sixth hour gained him a splitting side from having to run six laps on the track for gym. “What have I really honestly ever done to you?!”
“Please, Kaiba, he is telling you the truth. For once, please leave him alone.” Yugi gave Kaiba a look that would have caused most fan girls to fall all over themselves to do what he wished. The eyes have the power.
//Are you sure we should be doing this, Yugi? He has had a bad day. Wouldn’t Mr. Batto’s plan just make it worse?//
/We have to Yami. Time is running out for the two of them. Graduation is coming up soon. I want them to be together before that./
Kaiba shrugged and walked through the classroom door without saying another word. But Yami noticed the slight change in the young man’s eyes as he turned away. Jou slumped down the wall. He is upset for some reason. Did he wish to fight with Jou? Why? Could it be for the same reason Mr. Batto said Jou fights with Kaiba?
//Let’s do this, love.//
“Boys, get in here. The bell is getting ready to ring. Don’t make me have to mark you tardy.” Mr. Batto shook his finger at both of them.
“No, sir.” They both laughed and ran through the door.
The bell rang as they sat down. “Good afternoon, class. How was everyone’s weekend?” Several answers cut through the room. Yugi noticed Batto looking right at him. The barely noticeable nod marked the beginning of his plan.
/Here we go, Yami. Switch./ Wine colored eyes blended to crimson. He looked up and blinked at Batto twice. It was the signal that the switch had been made.
Batto leaned back against his desk with a smilehis his face. His legs were outstretched and crossed at the ankles as he observed them. “Now I know that it is almost the end of the year for you all. For most of you, this is the end of your high school careers. Friendships have been made. Your parties have been danced at on weekends. Classmates smile as you go down the hall. But how well do you really know each other?”
The class looked around at each other blankly. “What do you mean, sir?” Ryou spoke softly, asking the question many were wondering.
“How well do you really know each other?”
“Very well, sir.” A girl spoke up from the front of the room.
“Really, now? I wonder. That is why I have come up with this project.”
“Project?” Jou mimicked.
“Each of you is going to draw a number from this hat.” He held up a hat that looked straight out of Harry Potter. “There are two matching numbers, thus forming a partner pair. The assignment is to learn as much as you can about that person in order to do a five minute presentation in English about that person. A poster with pictures is required. You are also to write a poem about him or her. This is due Monday. All luck of the draw this time, boys and girls. Good luck.” He began passing it around among them.
Moans came from the room as they realize yet another assignment had been given. “I hope I get you, Yug. I already know everything there is to know about you…and the other you. But, I don’t think Yami would appreciate being introduced to the class that way.” Jou chuckled as he whispered in who he believed to be Yugi’s ear.
Yami softened his voice to match that of his lover’s. “No, I don’t think he would, Jou.”
The hat came to sit in front of Jou. A hand reached in to draw a slip of paper. For a split second the Sennen eye blazed on his forehead, but it was masked by the hand he had laid across it while leaning on his wrist. A piece of paper floated into Jou’s hand. The hat moved on to Yami. Yami noticed Seto log arg around suspiciously.
/Hope we get a good number./
//Me too, love.// Did Kaiba sense me do that? I hope he doesn’t figure out what we did.
“I have three. What did you get, Yug?”
“Twelve.”
“Aw, man!”
The hat continued moving around the room. Yami discovered that a girl named Ashley was his partner. She seemed nice enough. Jou was still searching for his.
It arrived finally to Kaiba. He glared at it as if wanting to set it on fire by just staring at it. “Now Kaiba, I know you want to object to this, but I won’t let you out of it. I will fail you if you do not do this.” Batto warned him. “Imagine what your investors, employees, and business partners would think about that. The big time CEO failing a class because of one little project.”
Kaiba glared at him and growled softly. He knew that Batto was telling truttruth. He was not a man to be intimidated. So, he reached for a number.
Again the Sennen eye flashed across the room under a concealing hand. Seto jerked his head up as he felt something tingle up his spine a second time.
“Who the heck has number three?” Jou’s voice split across the room.
Kaiba glanced at the slip of paper in his hand. “Oh shit.”
