Yugioh: The Hope of Six

Chapter 11: Kaiba Arc - Part 1

"Man, classes are as dull as ever." Joey complained as he walked down the hallway.

"I don't know about that. Today's history lesson was really interesting." Yuya said, making Joey snort and whispered "nerd" under his breath.

It had been a month since everyone arrived safely from the Airship. Throughout that time, life had gotten to a more normal level. True to Kaiba's word, Yusho and Shuzo had new paying occupations during their stay in Domino City. Because of this, they were able to enroll Yuya and Yuzu into Domino High School as transfer students. Kaiba had to pull some strings to make their background info credible, but no suspicions were raised. Yuya now wore the blue school uniform for the boys while Yuzu wore the pink one for the girls. After their last class for the day had ended, Yugi and the gang headed toward the school entrance, chatting as they went.

"Italy has always interested me." Bakura admitted politely.

"Yeah, I liked hearing about those Italian operas." Yuzu added energetically. Joey snorted.

"Don't mind him. He's never been one for history." Tristan pointed out.

"Oh yeah? Like you've never fallen asleep in class before?" Joey challenged.

"At least I try to pay attention!" Tristan snapped back, getting right in his friend's snarling face.

"Like how you "pay attention" to my sister?!" Joey shouted back.

"Here we go again." Yuya sighed, knowing what was coming next. Sure enough...

WHACK! WHACK!

"Will you two stop already?! You're making something out of nothing, like you always do!" Yuzu said irritatedly, holding her fan in a tightly clenched fist. Joey and Tristan grimaced while rubbing their heads.

"What happened to our agreement about not fighting around Yuzu?" Tristan complained.

"Sorry man, slipped my mind." Joey admitted. A few people did see the commotion and got a few laughs. Joey gave them all glares.

"Haha. You laugh now people, but if you piss her off, it ain't funny when she does it to you. Trust me on that." He warned. Clearly not interested in getting smacked by "Paper Fan Yuzu", the onlookers quickly made themselves scarce. Yuzu groaned.

"If you guys just don't argue so much, you wouldn't see the business end of my fan so often." She told them.

"Don't mind them, Yuzu. This is how they are sometimes." Yugi said. Yuzu sighed in resignation.

"She does it to me too from time to time. I guessed I sort of gotten used to it." Yuya admitted. Yuzu glanced at her boyfriend and smiled.

"Maybe I did it enough times to make you notice." She said teasingly before she pecked Yuya on the cheek, making him blush.

"Hehe. I guess so." He admitted. Yuya and Yuzu were dating for a while now and they seemed to be very happy. Yugi and Tèa smiled at seeing this before glancing at one another. They too had been going out for quite some time and loved every second of it. Joey and Tristan were truly happy for the new couples. Although, one felt a pang of jealousy.

'Look at them. Yugi and Tèa. Yuya and Yuzu. So close and totally into each other. Man, I wish I had that. The problem is, Joey would never give me his blessing to ask her out. He's too protective of her.' Tristan really did like Serenity, a lot. He just didn't see how he could be with her as boyfriend material while her brother was against it. Just as he thought this, Tristan and the others spotted the very girl he wanted to date waving at them.
