A/N: For those of you who read this before, I apologize for switching accounts. There was an issue with something at home, but I'm reposting this chapter on this account. Please disregard the other account. I also like to thank my new co-editor, Sumar Finlly, for helping me make this all possible. (Don't try to look him up, he doesn't have an account). Now enjoy my random fan fiction!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Xenoblade Chronicles (only one reference I swear). I own my OCs and their back ground and storyline. Please do not steal my characters or have my wrath! But seriously it's not nice to steal.

-3rd person perspective-
Yugi Muto was sitting in the back of the classroom, trying not to be noticed. It's bad enough that he was always picked on by the students at Domino High when he didn't do anything, but he really didn't want to make them to have any other reason to interrogate him. Yugi sighed; being the smallest and most timid person in class always got him into trouble. Yugi wanted to complete his treasure, but there were too many people around to see, and his treasure was important to him. I will complete it… just not now. Just a little more time…
"Hey Yugi! Come over here!" Someone yelled, jolting Yugi from his thoughts. Yugi looked to see Jounouchi, a rather rough looking 16 year old blonde hair boy with hazel eyes who usually got into fights. "Didn't you hear me come over here!" he commanded. Timidly, Yugi got up and walked over to the blonde boy, unsure of his intentions.
"Yes Jounouchi-kun?" Yugi asked rather softly. The boy next to Jounouchi laughed. Yugi saw the boy was Honda, a 16 year old boy with pointed brunette hair with brown eyes that seemed to be Jounouchi's partner into getting trouble. Honda smirked at Yugi.
"Speak up Yugi. I can't hear you because of your high pitched voice. Speak a little louder will you?" Jounouchi burst out laughing at Honda's joke.
"What do you want Jounouchi-kun?" Yugi asked. He didn't want this conversation to go on longer than it should. He knew where this conversation was heading, and he wanted it to be over. Unfortunately, Yugi's haste to continue the conversation led to even more trouble.
Jounouchi, annoyed by the fact Yugi wasn't affected by Honda's comment, burst with outrage. "Oh, do you think you're so tough?" He lifted Yugi by the collar. "Are you man enough to try that again?" He looked Yugi straight in the eyes while Yugi just hung in the air, terrified that he was about to be hit.
"Hey leave him alone!" Another student yelled. Yugi turned his head and to his relief he saw his childhood friend, Anzu, come forward. She had short brunette hair with blue eyes, and she always looked out for her friends. "What gives you the right to mess with him?" She asked demandingly.
"Oh come on Anzu, we were just trying to toughen him up." Honda explained to her. "Don't you know that it's rude to interrupt conversations?"
"It's okay Anzu." Yugi said. "I will be alright." As much as Yugi didn't want to handle these guys alone, he didn't want Anzu to be involved either. At least she stood up for me. He thought as he smiled mentally.
"But Yugi-" Just then the door burst open and their teacher, Mr. Minato, came into the room. He was a short, plump man with wispy, gray hair. He always wore a long red coat that turned into two tails at the end that almost touched the floor. He had a short, temper and huffed to make himself feel superior. Jounouchi put Yugi down and they all scrambled to their seats. Mr. Minato looked at the class then huffed really loudly before speaking.
"Now class." He explained. "Before we start today's lesson, we have a new student joining us today." Just then a girl walked into the room. At first glance she looked like a normal girl, long red hair and startling bright green eyes, but something didn't seem right. She stood really stiffly with a blank expression on her face as if to close everything out. She put her hands behind her back and looked at the wall behind where the students were. The girl's uniform, a pink coat, a white shirt, a blue tie, and a short, blue pleated skirt didn't seem to suit her. She was highly toned and had scars decorating her arms and legs. One scar ran from the bottom of her left ear to her chin.
The class started mumbling to each other about her appearance. Some glared at her while others looked at the new girl in fear or shock. Yugi just stared at the girl in happiness. Maybe I can make a new friend! He thought cheerfully unaware of the oddness of the girl.
"Quiet down class." Mr. Minato huffed. "This is Pyra Lamore. Treat her well and don't cause trouble!" Mr. Minato stared at the girl for a second then quickly turned away, slightly freaked out. "You can sit in front of Mr. Muto." He pointed the seat in front of Yugi. Pyra narrowed her eyes at the star shaped tri-colored hair boy which made Yugi feel slightly self-conscious. After a second, she broke her gaze.
"Yes sir." She replied stiffly and she went and sat down in her desk. She pulled out a notebook, a few sheets of paper, a textbook, and a few pencils and pens and arranged them neatly on the desk, ignoring the stares she got from the other students.
"Ahem." Mr. Minato huffed. "Let's begin class."
-TIME SKIP-
The bell rang, and the students were relieved for the break. "Recess! Time for Basketball!" One boy shouted. "Lets let the girls play!" Another more mischievous boy suggested then immediately got smacked by one of the girls. "Hey Yugi!" Another boy shouted at him, making his house of cards tumble. "Don't you wanna play some basketball instead of sitting in here." He looked to Pyra at the word 'here'. She was reading a book at her desk, seemingly oblivious to the conversation happening right next to her.
"I'm fine." Yugi replied, embarrassed. "Every team I join just loses anyway…" he said sadly.
"That's true… well see you later!" And the boy ran off with his friends leaving Yugi alone with Pyra. Yugi sighed. He didn't have to agree with me… I'd like to go play with everyone….. but I keep plenty of games in my bag. He looked at Pyra and decided he didn't want to disturb her, so he started to move to one of the desks in an earlier row. As he passed Pyra he tripped on the desk and started to fall. Not again! Just as he was about to land, face first, on the tiled floor, he stopped in mid-air. Huh?
"You need to be more careful." Pyra remarked. Yugi saw that she had caught Yugi mid-fall while she was sitting in the desk. Her eyes still reading the novel as she silently hoisted him back into standing position. Yugi looked back at Pyra to thank her, but was startled as he met with her green eyes. "Don't let them get you down, Yugi. You have other talents. I know it." Then she went back to reading her book.
"Thank you…. But what do you by talents?" He asked tentatively, but she just continued reading as if nothing happened. Strange girl. He thought as he got his bag and moved to a desk in the front of the room. He excitedly put his bag on his desk and started rummaging through it. Yes! Today is the day I complete it! The treasure I always carry! He pulled out a small golden box with the eye of Horus on the front. It shimmered brightly and looked almost like sarcophagus. Unknowingly to Yugi, Honda and Jounouchi entered the room, and Pyra looked at the little box in curiosity.
Inside this box is my greatest and most secret treasure! Yugi thought excitedly. It has a riddle! This treasure "can be seen but you haven't seen it"…. What could that mean? Yugi picked up and started opening the box. The answer… Just then Honda snatched the box out of Yugi's hands. "Ah!"
Honda smirked at Yugi. "Heh Heh… Yugi, What're you doing in here all alone?!" He looked at Pyra who had looked back at the book a moment before. "Oh excuse me, in here with a depressing book worm!" Jounouchi laughed and Honda looked back at Yugi. "It's way too dark and gloomy. Hey…" He lifted the box a little higher. "This must be your treasure!" He lifted it up above his head where Yugi couldn't reach it.
"Honda-kun… Give it back!" Yugi ran out of his desk and towards Honda. "Give it back!"
Honda smirked and threw the box to Jounouchi who had his back against the wall. "And he passes to Jounouchi!" The box flew over Yugi's head and the blonde boy caught it with ease. Yugi kept yelling at him to give the box back while Jounouchi got annoyed at the smaller boy's childish ways.
"Since your acting like a girl about it," He remarked. "This must be pretty valuable." He started throwing the box up and down in his hand. "All your jumping around is getting irritating! Quit it Yugi!" He went straight into Yugi's face. "I'll teach you how to act like a man!" He put the puzzle beyond Yugi's reach. "Looks I'll give back… if you try all your might to get it!"
"BUT I HATE FIGHTING AND VIOLENCE!" Yugi screamed at the top of his lungs making Jounouchi cover his ears. Yugi looked tired and defeated. He just wanted this to be over. "Anyway… Give back the box!"
"Not a chance!" Honda exclaimed. Blocking Yugi from Jounouchi.
"So what's in the box anyway? Only one way go find out!" Jounouchi opened the box and Yugi started to panic saying that it was incredibly valuable. This annoyed Jounouchi even more as he thought of a perfect way to teach the kid how to be a man. "That's so dumb." He concluded but as he tried to throw it to Honda, something grabbed the box out of Jounouchi's hand. Jounouchi turned to see that Pyra had taken the box and had given it to Yugi.
"Here Yugi. I think this belongs to you." She gave his treasure back to him then turned to the boys, eyes filled with a mixture of amusement and rage. "I would tell you what I think of the situation, but I think that Yugi's friend at the door would better suited for the task." Everyone except Pyra, turned their heads to see Anzu standing at the door, arms crossed, and annoyed at the situation.
"If it was so dumb why didn't you give it back to Yugi." She stamped over to the boys giving them a glare. "Picking on weaker people! You guys are the dumb ones! NOW BEAT IT!" The boys scrambled out of the room, swearing that it wasn't over. Yugi looked up at the two girls and smiled.
"Thank you both for helping me! But wow that was great! One word from you two and they ran!" Yugi said sweat dropping thinking about how scary the two girls had been. Yugi and Anzu sat next to each other with Anzu sitting at the desk right of Yugi while Pyra remained standing leaning on the desk to the left of him looking towards the door.
Anzu shrugged off the compliment. "Don't flatter me, I just saw a nice guy being taken advantage of!" She smiled at the young boy then looked at Pyra with slight confusion. "But why did you step in Pyra? Not that it wasn't a good thing, but-" She didn't know how to say anything being rude. So far it wouldn't really seem like her to intervene and help Yugi.
Pyra didn't say anything for a moment but then she spoke still looking at the door. "It wasn't right to steal something precious. It could mean the world to that person, and to take it away…" she shook her head. "Forget I said anything." Then she walked out the classroom door, leaving Anzu and Yugi slightly confused.
Anzu sweat dropped, then looked back at Yugi. "Ok then, Yugi what's in this thing, anyway?" She asked, pointing to his treasure. Yugi smiled at his friend's curiosity.
"Well I guess I can let you see... you but you have to promise to keep it a secret…" Anzu agreed as Yugi opened the box. Inside it revealed many glittering shining pieces made of different shapes and sizes. "It's a puzzle!" He explained enthusiastically. "I've never completed it before so I don't know what the shape will be in other words it's a thing that 'can be seen but you haven't seen it'!" Yugi held the puzzle box in his hand and smiled lightly. "I live in a game shop! There's all sorts of rare and unusual and exotic games for sale there." He continued. "This was sitting in the corner gathering dust, and I found it…..Now I think of it as a memento of my grandpa."
Memento… Yugi's grandfather died! Anzu thought shocked at the news. Oh that's why it's so precious to him. She thought sadly.
"This puzzle was found in Egyptian ruins!"
"Egypt…" She looked at the box again. "Look… The box is covered in strange symbols!"
"With an educated guess I think I know what they mean too…the person who solves this puzzle will have one wish granted!" He said excitedly, but then said more downheartedly. "Maybe that's too fantastic though…" He looked up at Anzu smiling at him expectantly. "Don't tell anyone about it Anzu!"
"I know that Yugi! Trust me!"
He looked a little down hearted again. "But the puzzle is very difficult. I've been trying for eight years and still haven't completed it! Sometimes it gets me down…" Yugi sighed.
"Keep at it Yugi! You'll get that wish!" Anzu said trying to cheer him up. Yugi smiled again at Anzu.
"Yeah I'll keep at it!" Anzu smiled back then looked at Yugi curiously.
"Um what is it? Your wish?"
"Can't tell!" He said. "It's an absolutely confidential secret!" He replied winking. As the two had their conversation, Pyra secretly stayed by the door watching the whole scene play out. She watched them lift each glittering piece and could sense the great power hidden within them. She smiled in spite of herself. If Yugi did solve this puzzle then… She chuckled. He will be on the ride of his life. She turned from the door and walked down the hall taking in the new, soon to be familiar, surroundings.
Pyra continued down her path until she saw another student, this one obviously older and meaner than the two ruffians from before. He had short, kind of wild looking hair, caterpillar eyebrows, and an evil glare. Fortunately Pyra didn't scare easy, so she tried just to pass the boy, but with caution.
As she approached the monster boy, he stopped and grinned at her then crossed his arms and stood against the wall. "Hey you're the new girl, Pyra right?" He asked. She turned towards the boy. she saw that he was smiling at her with his crooked smile, while trying to be cool. She had to resist the urge to upper cut him right then and there.
"Yes, that is correct and you are?" She asked.
"I'm Ushio head of the Morals Committee and I'd like to talk to you for a second." Pyra raised an eyebrow at this but didn't walk away curious to what he wanted to 'talk' about. "Being the new kid is hard and I would like to ask this." He paused then uncrossed his arms and got closer to Pyra. She readied herself to run or, if necessary, strike back. He lifted her hair then whispered into her ear. "Have the others been treating you nicely?" He pondered. "Because if not I can be your personal body guard and protect a fine woman like your-" SMACK! Ushio fell to the floor an angry red welt already forming. He looked up to see Pyra sending angry daggers at him from above him. Suddenly, she lifted him up by the collar, and he looked straight into her cold, unforgiving eyes.
"Touch me again and I will kill you." Pyra told the monster boy who started to quiver, no doubt fearing for his life. Her voice sounded different; she had a slight German accent now and her eyes were now so dark they almost seemed black. She smirked at the boy then tossed him down on the ground with great force. She was slightly disappointed when she didn't hear the crack of breaking bones. Pyra stood tall, making herself tower over Ushio. "Now monster boy, don't mess with me, and we will be okay. If not, you will face the consequences." She turned away but then looked back at Ushio, now glaring at him even more. "Now scram boy! Before I change my mind." She added.
Ushio immediately ran towards the direction Pyra came from yelling about a crazy girl and swearing it won't be the last she sees of him. She scoffed at him then turned away. Run while you can monster boy because this may be the last freedom you ever get. Then her eyes grew lighter, and she continued down the hall as if nothing had happened.
If you hadn't noticed this version is based off the manga version of the series. I will mostly be going off this version, but there will be a few scenes I will use from the anime of season 0. If you can guess which episodes, you get a virtual cookie. I want to take suggestions on episodes as well because I need to cut some scenes and characters because they aren't present later in the series.
I really wanted to show off the manga version of Yugioh because honestly it's a lot darker and I like it better (I like Duelist Kingdom the best). A lot of people seem to base everything off the anime, so I thought a good way to show it off is messing around with my OC. (If that make any sense!)
Please review and give me tips on what I can do. I know I stopped just when things got juicy but, I think this is a good place to end off. I apologize again about the change of accounts. I hope you enjoy and have a great summer everyone!
