Tattered Hearts

Chapter 5

After spending a fun filled weekend over Ryou and Diamond's it was time to head back to school and to enact Malik's dare. "Well, you know what to do Aqua." Malik said and he nodded as he walked over to where Anzu stood. "Hey Anzu." he said and she turned before sputtering, seeing him talking to her out of all people. "Oh, hi Aqua. What brings you over here?" she asked. "I only came over to ask if you wish to join me and Yami for lunch today?" Aqua said, taking a glance back over to the others who were almost about to burst out laughing.

"Oh yes! Yes I would!" Anzu said, estastic. He smirked. "Great, we'll meet you at the sakura tree outside." Aqua said before walking off. When he was gone, she almost squealed in glee and ran off to tell her friends. He laughed out loud when she was gone and he headed over to where the rest of the group waited. "That went better than expected." Malik said.

"I know but I just can't wait to see her expression at lunch." Aqua said. "Yeah, I can't wait either but let's get to class so we won't have to wait long." Diamond said and they nodded as they headed to their classes.

Lunch came all too soon and Anzu was rushing out from her class to get to lunch on time to meet Yami and Aqua. 'After all this time of waiting, I'm finally having lunch with them. Soon enough, I just may be able to ask them to the dance.' she thought as she grabbed her lunch and headed outside towards the sakura tree.

But when she got there, she almost dropped her tray in shock. "What's going on here!" she screeched. Yami looked up to her, giving Yugi another piece of cake that he brought from the cafeteria. "What do you see? We're spending lunch with Yugi today instead." Yami said. "But why! Aqua said you were going to have lunch with me!" Anzu growled. "Yes, I did said that but after meeting with him in the halls, we changed our plans. Besides, we don't like cheerleaders that much anyway. Too much pep." Aqua said.

She growled again before stomping off. They laughed as they watched her before looking back down to Yugi. "Did you enjoy that, Yugi?" he asked. He nodded. "Yeah. It's about time she was put in her place." Yugi said as he was given another piece of cake by Yami. "I know. That should teach her that being a cheerleader doesn't always give her the results she wants." Yami said. He nodded as he looked up, hearing his friends coming over. "Man, did you see her face. She look like she was about to cry!" Jou said, laughing still.

"Hey, that what happen when you get rejected, hard." Diamond said. "But shouldn't we worry now. Now that she knows who Yami and Aqua would rather be with, she would make Yugi's life worse, especially when it gets close to the dance." Ryou said. Bakura slung an arm around his shoulder, making him blush lightly. "Chances are, she won't even get near him because me, Crimson, Marik and Toben will be there and when we are there, we will cause chaos." Bakura said.

"Yeah, I can see it now. Spilling punch all over her dress or making her slip. Even the so obvious whoopee cushion trick. That should make her the laughing stock of the school by the end of the night." Marik said. "Hey, you guys aren't planning to leave me out of the fun are you?" another voice asked and they turned to see Keara standing there. "Oh but of course not. We all know you're ready to get her whenever we're ready." Toben said. "Great. I have some very good pranks to do to her and I want to explain them with you." Keara said and they nodded before she turned and looked to Yugi.

"And I'm glad you finally got together with Yami and Aqua. I don't know how long it would be before they came up to you themselves and told you how they felt for you. And I know they would have done it, even in front of the whole cafeteria." Keara said witha short laugh. Yami glared at her playfully, a blush dusting his cheeks lightly. "So what? It's not our fault we were so scared that he may not even like us back if we told him." Yami said. Yugi only smiled and kissed his cheek lightly. "It's alright. At this point, I would've done the same, maybe not in front of the whole cafeteria though." Yugi said.

Yami smiled down at him and kissed him lightly, eliciting 'aww's from Diamond and Keara. "Speaking of which, I need to go see Raven for a bit. I'll see you all later in next period." Crimson said as he ran off. "I wonder what he's up to?" Diamond questioned, looking over to Bakura. "Hey, don't look at me. I never know what he's up to most of the time." Bakura said and she shrugged. "Oh well." Diamond said before they sat down beside Yugi, Yami and Aqua and started to eat their lunches.

Crimson made it to the field where Raven was playing with Shadow. "Hey coach." he called and Raven turned around to him. "Oh, hey Crimson. Why are you here?" he asked. "Have you seen Crystal anywhere? I need to speak with her about changing lead cheerleader." Crimson said. "So, you're finally doing something for your girlfriend?" Raven suggested. He blushed lightly. "She's not my girlfriend yet but yeah, I'm doing this for her and to lower Anzu down another peg." Crimson said.

Raven laughed softly before pointing towards the school. "I think she's in her office. Go try there." Raven said and he nodded, thanking him before running off.

When he got inside and up towards her office, he heard some music playing, Crystal singing to the lyrics silently. He knocked on the door before coming in. She turned around and smiled. "Oh, hello Crimson. What brings you here?" she asked, turning the radio down a little. "Just wanted to ask if you don't mind kicking Anzu out of the lead cheerleader role and give it to Diamond." Crimson said sheepishly.

Her smiled widened as she stood up and placed her hands on his shoulders. "It's about time you asked. Raven told me about this and I was starting to wonder about when you would come to me about this. I already made arrangements to kick Anzu off and have Diamond enter. All you need to do is ask if she wants to join and she'll be in a heartbeat." She said and he nodded.

"Alright. I'll ask her right now. Thanks Crystal." Crimson said. "All in a day's work is what I say. Anzu need to leave anyway. She doesn't even do anything right, only goggle at Yami and Aqua like they going to run over to her with a bouquet of roses." Crystal said, laughing softly. He nodded, laughing as well before he left out.

When the lunch period ended, they all separated ways, Yami giving Yugi a light kiss before heading to his next class with Aqua. Just before Diamond could leave the group of friends did Crimson ran over. "Where were you Crimson? I was starting to wonder where you went to." Diamond said. "Sorry. Went to go see Crystal about something." Crimson said. "And what would that be?" she asked, curious. "I went to ask her if she would give the position of the lead cheerleading spot to you." he said, walking with her to her next class.

"Really? I never thought but of course, I would do anything to keep Anzu out of the picture. Besides, I think I would do a better job than her anyways." Diamond said. Crimson nodded as they stopped in front of her classroom. "Well, I better get going now. I'll tell Crystal you agree to take the spot when I go to practice today." Crimson said and she nodded with a soft smile before walking over to him and placed a light kiss on his cheek before walking inside.

A blushed covered his face as he walked off to his own class, a hand over his cheek. "I think I'll never wash this cheek again." he said to himself as he shook away his blush and entered the classroom just as the second bell rang.

At the end of the school days, Yugi and his friends gathered to go and see the others practice and to see what Anzu would do once she learns she's kicked out of the cheerleading team.

"This should be even more fun than earlier. I tell you, we're having a ball humiliating Anzu to the point of tears." Malik said and they nodded as they reached the field, already hearing her shouts towards Crystal.

"But why are you doing this to me! I have been the best cheerleader here ever since I joined!" she shouted. "No, not really. I have watched you ever since you joined and every game we had, all you did was watched Yami and Aqua play, not at all helping with encouraging the crowd. Be happy that him as his friends doesn't need encouragement from the crowd to win the games." Crystal said. "But seriously! You can't just kick me off!" She shouted once more.

"I'm the coach of the cheerleaders and I can. I already have someone to replace you." Crystal said. "And who is that?" she demanded. "That would be me." Diamond said, stepping away from her friends to walk over to them. "You! Why you out of all people?" Anzu shouted, pointing at her menacingly. "Because, I asked her to do so." Crimson said, walking over. "Now, why don't you back off and find something else to do. I think the chess club is looking for another recruit. Or better yet, how about being the mascot for the team so you can at least stay on the field." Crimson said, laughing.

She turned red in anger and stomped off. "Don't think this is over, Diamond! You along with your friends will pay for this!" she said as she left the field. "Pfft, I like to see that happen." Keara said as she walked up to them. "Hey, Keara." they both greeted. She waved to them before sitting up on the bleacher with Yugi and the others, petting Shadow as he came over.

"Well, Diamond, shall we get you suit up and ready to cheer for the Domino High Tigers?" she asked. "Sure, as long as it doesn't involve short skirts. I have a hatred for them." Diamond said. "Nope, changed the style this year. Tiger ears and paws. Some striped pants and a shirt with the Domino High Tiger on it." Crystal said, handing her the uniform. "Works for me. I'll get suit up now. Meet you in a bit." Diamond said as she walked inside to change. Crystal watched her go before turning to Crimson.

"And don't you have a practice to get to?" she questioned and he broke away from his thought about how Diamond will look and nodded. "Uh yeah, I'll be going now." he said hurriedly as he ran off tot he others. She only shook her head, a smile on her face. "The boy is too far deep in love. Hopefully everything works out for him." she said before calling the girls together.

Zypher: And that will be all for this chapter. I had fun with this and I know I'll be having more fun as we cause more torment for Anzu. Hoped you liked and will review. See you in the next chapter and please, feel free to make more fun of Anzu in your reviews. I shall laugh at her pain and humiliation that you do to her.
