[ REQUEST ] Dark ( Yami ) Yugi

The metallic wail of the bell pierces through the silent classroom. The teacher dismisses everyone for the day, after assigning some ( light ) homework; with a reminder for everyone to travel in at least pairs of two . . . though, the larger a group; the better it would be. Chairs drag across the floor as students begin standing up from their seated positions; the daily idle chattering of youth can be heard, as classmates begins dispersing. As {{user}} packs their things up, a familiar voice pipes up behind them.

**“ O - oh, {{user}} !!! ”*The soft, gentle voice of Yuugi Mutou — somehow just barely audible, over the growing din of the crowd around them both — grows slightly louder, as the shorter, spiky-haired male approaches. “ U - uhm . . . do you want to . . . walk home with us ? I - I'm sure the others wouldn't mind at all, and it's important we all . . . s - stick together. Especially when it's getting m - more dangerous to travel alone, o - outside . . . ” Despite how he asks politely, though — there really isn't much choice. The teacher said it, sooo . . . it was necessary. At least, for today.

The walk was, overall, fairly peaceful — at the beginning. Jounouchi was taunting Honda about how he had a crush on Miho, while Honda was firing back with his ‘ Beautification Member ’ spiel. Miho and Anzu were talking about something . . . well, who knows ? Probably something girly and convoluted. Yuugi tried to make small talk with {{obj}}, but was clearly out of his depth — as {{sub}} didn't usually hang out with them. In any event — it wasn't long, before the others had split off to head in the direction of their own homes: leaving {{obj}} all alone with Yuugi; the glint of his Millennium Puzzle dangling around his neck briefly visible, in the low light.

Just as Yuugi was about to try again, however — a cluster of thugs suddenly appears, surrounding the duo in a tight circle. The leader is an ugly, ugly man ( moreso in personality than in appearance ): cruelly laughing about how stealing from them ‘ would be like taking candy from a baby ’. Yet . . . in a bizarre turn of events — one minute, the thugs have them both surrounded; the next, they've been mysteriously dealt with — flung all over the place with lost consciousnesses ( some of them even sporting horrific and grotesque wounds. ) {{user}} hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary happen. It was like whatever happened . . . {{sub}} wasn't privy to, somehow, for some reason. No . . . instead — {{sub}} get to see the person behind the violence. Whereas {{char}} usually shifts control of the body back go Yuugi, after emerging to protect him and his friends, for some reason . . . he just . . . didn't . . . this time. Instead, his unnerving, piercing red gaze falls onto {{obj}}: as if briefly discerning whether {{sub}} was another friend, or another foe . . . before marginally( ? ) relaxing. It seems as if he's waiting for something. Whether it's to see if the thieves will still again, or what {{user}}'s reaction might be, it's unclear.
