Chapter 1: The First Day
"Aright, then! Class, before we begin our lesson, we have a new transfer student coming in today!" the science teacher announced as the bell rang to begin the last period.
"New student?" Jonouchi questioned as he and his friends sat down.
"Yeah," answered Anzu, "I heard in the halls that this is her fourth school since she moved to Domino."
"Dang," Honda commented, "how long has she been to the city?" Anzu shrugged. "Other than the fact that she's been to three schools, that's all anyone knows about her."
"Maybe she'll make a good friend," Yugi said, "what do you think, Ryo?"
Ryo looked up, shrugged, and then said, "Don't know. It might not hurt to ask."
Just as they were finishing up their conversation, the classroom door opened. The principal and a girl with long black hair walked in. The girl was wearing the school uniform.
"Ah, you must be the new student," the science teacher announced, "welcome. Please tell the class your name and a little bit about yourself."
The girl nodded, and then turned to face the class. "My name is Chihiro Torabatsu," she said, "I have a Savannah cat named Pikako, and my aunt is actually from here. Do to, um, family reasons, I've moved in with her." She turned to her new teacher, and he nodded in response.
"Thank you, Chihiro," he said; "now where should you sit?" he looked around the room until he saw a seat in between Anzu and Miho. "Why don't you there?" Chihiro nodded, and walked over towards her new seat. After she sat down, the teacher began the lesson.
After writing on the board, he turned around and asked: "Class, does anyone know what DNA stands for?" The class looked at each other with blank faces. Soon, a hand rose into the air. It was the new girl, Chihiro!
"Yes, Chihiro," the teacher said.
"It's deoxyribonucleic acid," she replied.
"Excellent job," he commented, "now, what is the--"
"Purpose of ATP," Chihiro concluded for him.
"Y-yes," the teacher nodded, "Chihiro, could you tell us?"
"ATP is the energy a cell uses in order to perform all tasks," she replied.
"Well, Chihiro," the teacher concluded, "our class is very lucky to have such a smart young student in here." The bell rang as the teacher finished his sentence. Soon, everyone was gone and out the door.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Anzu asked as she, Miho, Honda, Jonouchi, Yugi, and Ryo snuck around the corner of the street. Jonouchi and Honda got the idea that if they followed Chihiro, they could find out more about her. As they walked, Miho slipped and grabbed onto Ryo for support.
"Sorry," she whispered. They continued walking until they reached the gates to the cemetery. Chihiro stopped in the middle of the street, and without turning around, she said: "Alright, you can all come out now."
"Crap," whispered Jonouchi, "I think she caught us."
"Wait," Yugi suggested, "maybe she can communicate with spirits and she's trying to contact the ones in this cemetery."
"Yugi might be right," Anzu agreed, "it explains why she walked all the way here, so let's stay a little longer." After a few seconds, Chihiro turned around.
"I know you're all back there," Chihiro yelled, "Anzu, Miho, Honda, Yugi, Jonouchi, Ryo." Everyone's hearts skipped a beat as they emerged from their hiding spot with red faces.
"So," Chihiro began, "why were you guys following me?"
"Well," Jonouchi admitted, "we wanted to learn more about you. I mean, we were going to ask, but we thought that since it was your first day, you wouldn't want a downpour of questions." Chihiro smiled.
"I appreciate your concern," she explained, "but all you guys had to do was ask." She paused, and laughed. "It's ironic," she continued, "It was the total opposite at the other schools." She looked at all of the nice people before her. When she looked at Yugi, his strange, triangular pendant caught her eye, but only for a second. Her gaze shifted to Ryo, but this time she couldn't look away. He made Chihiro shiver, and made her feel as if she wanted to rip him open in order to see the contents inside… the spell was broken when Miho tapped on her shoulder.
"Are you checking out Miho's guy," she asked. Chihiro was caught completely off-guard.
"Oh! Um," Chihiro stumbled, "n-no… I-I didn't know that--" she was interrupted when Miho started laughing.
"It's okay," she assured, "oh, Miho loves your blue eyes. Miho's so jealous!"
"Miho," Anzu scolded, "don't play games like that to her! It's not nice!"
"Miho's sorry," Miho apologized.
"It's oka--" Chihiro didn't have any time to finish her sentence as she spun around and faced the cemetery. As she did, a gust of wind blew in from the creepy graveyard. Anzu shivered.
"Let's get out of here," she said.
"This place is starting to creep Miho out," Miho said in reply. Chihiro didn't turn around.
"I know," Jonouchi concluded, "let's head over to Yugi's place."
"Yeah," Anzu agreed.
"I think you're going to like Grandpa," Yugiexplained, "you see, we live in a game shop, and…" Chihiro heard their voices fade away, but instead of following her new companions, she slanted her eyes, as if she was challenging an invisible intruder. Ryo put his hand on her shoulder.
"Is everything alright," he asked with a concerned look, "you seem a little out of it." Chihiro turned around to face Ryo. She smiled.
"I'm fine," she replied, "I j-just got a little spooked, that's all." Ryo nodded.
"Hey," Honda shouted, "are you guys going to stand there for the rest of the day? Let's go!" Ryo and Chihiro sprinted to go catch up with the others.
"So Chihiro," Yugi asked, "why were you going over to the cemetery in the first place?"
"I knew you guys were following me the whole time," she answered, "I thought that it would've crept you guys out enough to get you guys to go away, but I guess my plan didn't work out so well."
"Yeah," Jonouchi yelled, "you can't get rid of us that easily!" As the gang's voices died away, a pair of glowing eyes peeked through the bushes…
