The melody in my heart

Time. It compelled people to truly bring themselves from the depression that they were caught in. Bakura, Ryou's other half, had been in that state ever since he was returned to his body. He had never wanted that. He didn't want to be on this insufferable planet that was surrounded with idiots. He just wanted peace. He wanted to finally lay down, be silent, and drift into the darkness of the abyss. However, the gods above and the Sennen Items hadn't allowed such a thing. Instead, he was returned to his body that held the scars of his past, and he had to endure the nasty looks from the group of the Pharaoh's. He only had Ryou now and hardly even that.

Today was different, though. It was the first day of school and since Ryou had discovered how good he was at math, he had put Bakura in Core One. Bakura had glared at him when Ryou told him this, but didn't deny the truth. Numbers were his fancy, whether he liked it or not. Unfortunately, because of this, he ended up being in a class with Anzu Mazaki, one of Yuugi's friends. She, unlike the others, had never given him a dirty look. She had never given him any look. Today, when she found out he was in her class, she shyly settled in a seat beside him when she entered the classroom. He had barely given her a glance, his lips thin. He was only able to tolerate her because she didn't sicken him like the others did.

"Um...hi, Bakura," she greeted quietly a few minutes after she sat down. His eyes flickered to her, before he sighed and muttered a reluctant greeting. She brightened a bit and continued, "I didn't know Ryou was going to enroll you in school."

"It's not as though I have a choice," he grunted, hardly believing he was about to have a civil conversation with her. She wasn't annoying him, though, so he saw no reason why to snarl at her - yet. " He claims that I need to go to this hell-hole so I'll adjust to my new life." New life. The words echoed in his head. He hated his new life. If he could have actually started out new without old and other enemies sneering at him as though he were scum every time he came in view, things might not have been so bad. But they were.

"Oh. Well, yes," Anzu said nervously. "He does have a point, but I'm kind of surprised that you're in such an advanced math class." He frowned and turned to her, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Am I supposed to be stupid or something?" He snapped, unnerved by her comment. She looked startled at what he said.

"I...didn't mean that. I just...I never knew you were so good at it," she hastily said, not wishing to provoke his temper. He stared at her for a moment and then snorted, crossing his arms across his chest and slumping in his seat. "...Can I see your schedule, Bakura?" Anzu questioned hesitantly. He shrugged and dug it out of his pocket, flicking it on her desk. She looked over it and blinked slowly. "Oh! We have all the same classes together."

"As if it matters," he growled. She glanced at him and knew what he was referring to. "Where are the rest of your annoying friends?"

"I don't have any classes with them," Anzu answered coolly. "The only other person I know in this class is probably Kaiba. After all, this is the highest math class for a senior. Well, technically Core Four is, but they only just introduced this math system this year, so..."

" Great," Bakura sneered. "As if I need to deal with Kaiba's sarcastic remarks and dry humor..." Despite his words, Bakura was reluctant to admit that he held the slightest bit of respect for the CEO. Seto Kaiba, unlike the others, did not regard him with disgust. He would glance at Bakura with the same, cool gaze that he did everyone else. In his eyes, Bakura was just like everyone else and no different, regardless of what he had done in the past. Bakura's eyes flickered to Anzu, but her attention had strayed elsewhere. Said CEO came strolling through the doorway and glanced at Anzu and Bakura. She and Kaiba had been in the same math classes ever since the beginning of high school. She guessed that his raised eyebrow was directed more so at Bakura than herself. "What?" Bakura demanded of him.

"How," Kaiba asked mildly, "did you get in this class?" He eyed him cynically.

"As like you, Kaiba, I work with number better than words."
