Undying Love?

Yugi reached the school in record time, not needing to have woken up so early with an uninjured body. He practically skipped onto the school grounds, earning surprised looks from the people around him. They all wondered the same thing: Had the weird runt finally snapped?
People cautiously shied away from Yugi and his happy demeanor began to fall away. During his brief night of happiness, he had forgotten the reality of his school life. Turning away with crestfallen eyes, the petite teen began to head into the school. However, he was shocked when the Horus eye glowed and an enraged Yami came out, standing by Yugi’s side. The teen looked up at the vampire in awed confusion, wondering why the man had come out in front of so many people. The vampire’s crimson eyes glowered at the frightened crowd.
“You all should be ashamed of yourselves!” he roared, his baritone voice echoing around the school grounds. Everyone trembled in fear at his magically enlarged voice. “How dare you bring sadness and pain to such an innocent person!”
“Yami!” Yugi shouted, making the vampire turn to him. The creature’s eyes softened immediately and he looked worriedly at the boy, who was no crying. “Yami, that’s not the way to get them to stop. The still won’t be my friends if they fear me... Just got back for now, I don’t want everyone more scared than they already are.”
Yami looked down at the crying teen sadly. He had only been trying to help... Then again, Yugi had a point. Friendships gained by fear were just as fake as any others Yugi had experienced before meeting Yami. Sighing sadly, Yami returned to the puzzle in a flash of golden light as Yugi wiped the tears from his eyes. Now he’d never gain any friends here, he was sure of it. Not that that had been Yami’s intention: Yugi knew he was trying to help, especially after the guilty look the vampire had on his face before disappearing.
Yugi didn’t realize that his words and reaction to Yami’s declaration had made an impression on a certain blond-haired delinquent. Jounouchi looked at the small kid with more respect than before. The kid was weak on the surface, but he had great inner strength. Too bad it only came out for the sake of others and not for himself. The boy schoolmate knew that mysterious appearing/vanishing man - ‘“Yami” was it,’ Jou thought - wouldn’t be allowed to defend Yugi from Ushio and his thugs after a stunt like that. The blond decided to take matters into his own hands. It was time his gang of friends found a reason for fighting...
