The rain poured down over the house, as the buzzing of an alarm clock woke up the young girl that was deep into her sleep. Slowly, she opened up her brown eyes, taking in the light. She sighed. Today was the first day of her being at her first school. . . and she was quite nervous. One thing she hated was being new. The young girl was sixteen years old. She had long brown hair that was streaked with blond. She was short for her age, but she didn't mind it all that much. Despite her young age, Jessica live usually by herself, for her parents were usually away on some special trip together. She would have loved to go with them, but she had school, so she was left behind with a little bit of money.

She didn't mind it too much, being home alone. She could do whatever she wanted, and she had lots of freedom, something she didn't take to much advantage towards. Slowly, the young girl got up from her bed, and immediately put on her school uniform, which like most students, she didn't mind it so much as they did. After putting it on, she went downstairs and opened the fridge, and pulled out the only thing that was there, orange juice. Taking a glass, she poured some in and drank it. After that, she grabbed her things and got ready for her first day of school.

Barely a block away from school, Jessica had heard a yell. Curious to see what was going on, she followed it. She gasped in shock as to what she saw. There was a young boy, maybe around the age of twelve, who was being picked on by. . . older males? About three or four of them surrounded him. She glared. That was no way to treat a young child! Quickly, she ran up to them.

"Hey, leave him alone" she yelled at them, as she tried to grab the little boy from their grasp.

But before she could even think of anything one of the men had pushed her to the floor.

"Fine we won't hurt the kid, but we can hurt you" he said showing his greenish teeth, making her look up in fear, not knowing what would happen next.

They then kicked her in the stomach making her cry out in pain and then punched her face so hard she had gotten a black eye. When they realized this they decided the little girl had had enough and left. Jessica slowly got up and went to the little boy.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I'm fine but what about you?" he asked.

"I'm fine but what about you?" he asked.

"I'm okay, here I'll walk you to school" she said.

It didn't take her long to get him there at all, which was good, for if she didn't hurry up, she would be late.

"What's your name kiddo?" she asked.

"Mokuba, and you?" he asked.

"Jessica" she answered.

They had reached the school a few minutes later. " What school do you go to?" he asked before entering the building.

"Domino High, why?" she asked.

"Because I'm going to come see you!" he answered. But before Jessica could reply he was gone. Cute kid she thought smiling, and beginning her walk to school.

Jessica made her way to school and too the principal's office where she got her schedule. Jessica walked to her new homeroom class knowing that she was already late. I hope he's not too strict she thought. She knocked on the door nervously. She waited a few seconds and a teacher opened the door.

"Well I see our new student has decided to join us," he hissed at her.

"I'm so sorry its that-"

"Come in and tell the class," he growled. Really Jessica thought it was none of the classes business but she wouldn't disobey.

"Tell us who you are and why you're late" the teacher grinned.

"My name is Jessica Walker and the reason why I'm late is because on the way here a kid was being bullied and I helped him out," she said. How embarrassing she thought.

"Well that's a new fib the kids haven't pulled on me yet," the teacher laughed.

"I'm not lying! You think I would give my self a black eye for the fun of it?" Jessica asked annoyed. I hate this teacher she thought. The kids stared at her; this was the worst teacher to pick a fight with.

"Whatever Miss Walker, you may sit down beside Mr. Seto Kaiba. Jessica walked to her seat and sat down.

"I'll be back in 5-10 minutes so be quiet" the teacher said dryly and left. Instantly a blond haired kid and a tri- colored hair kid turned around.

"Dat's some black eye ya' got dere! My names Joey Wheeler and dis here is Yugi" he said pointing to his friend.

"Hey" she said.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Yugi asked. Kaiba turned around to listen

"Well I was walking to school and I heard a yell. I followed it to find a kid about 10 years old with black hair. 3-4 men around the age of 30 were bullying him. I told them to leave the kid alone and they said they would and started to hit me. When they noticed the black eye they left me alone, and to be safe I walked the kid to school and here I am." she finished in one breath.

"Well that was brave of ya' " Joey said. Jessica blushed lightly and to her luck no one noticed.

"And what was the kid's name" Yugi asked.

"Oh his name was Mokuba, why do you know him?" this had caught Kaiba's attention.

"Yeah that's his brother beside you" Yugi answered. Jessica turned around to see a brunette with cold piercing blue eyes.

"Is my brother okay?' he asked concerned. " Yeah he's fine I got there just in time" Jessica smiled. He's cute she thought.

The teacher had just entered the classroom and everyone returned to their usual positions.

"Now the project we were going to start is on a planet of your choice, you will work in partners as I will be asking for a lot. And no, I will be choosing your partners" he smirked. This teacher is pure evil she thought. The classroom was filled with groans but stopped quickly when the teacher glared at them. " Okay, Joey and Duke, Tristan and Kelly, Tea an Yugi, Bakura and Michael, Jessica an Seto, Mark and Louis and Margaret and Sophie. Now get with your partners and decide what you'll be doing," the teacher said sitting at his desk. Jessica tapped the blonds shoulder.

"Um Joey...who's Seto?" looking at his face she started to feel stupid.

"Oh you don't know who he is? That's weird. Anyway it's Mokuba's brother" he said and turned around to work with his partner.

She turned to face Seto.

"What planet you want to do it on?" Jessica asked him.

"Pluto" he said.

"What? Why that planet it so cold and by itself, why on that?" Jessica said making a face.

"Yeah just like Kaiba" she heard a voice from behind her say. She turned around to see a tall guy with black hair in a ponytail, green eyes playing with dice.

"Who are you?" she growled.

"Wow Kaiba is rubbing off on you...I'm Duke Devlin, I am creator of Dungeons and Dice I'm sure you've heard of it?" he said trying to sound impressive.

"That boring game" she smirked. He didn't answer her; he just made his way back to Joey. She looked at Kaiba with a smile.

"What would you prefer?" he asked.

"I would prefer Neptune! It's my favorite planet" she said.

"Neptune it is!" he said. Jessica looked at him weirdly.

"Just like that you change your mind?" she asked.

"Yes, just like that" he said and they got back to work.

Her classes were all fun except for her math. She was put into advanced math because they had no room in the normal math classes, which was going to be much harder for her, for she wasn't good at math at all. They day ended and she got her stuff and left the building.

"Hey there! Did you forget I was coming?" she heard a voice call from behind.

She turned to face the little boy she had met with earlier.

"No" she laughed.

"Come to my house it's the least I can do for what you did" he cried and pulled her into a limo.

"This is your car?" she asked.

"No it's my brother's" and with that they sped off missing Kaiba by a second. They got there in minutes and Jessica's eyes went wide as she saw the house. They entered the house to find beautiful paintings along the walls and the most beautiful furniture she had ever seen. Mokuba pulled her into the kitchen and pulled out some snacks they could eat.

"Look, thanks for what you did this morning" he said sitting down.

"Your welcome" she said back.

"What did those guys want from you?" Jessica asked concerned.

"They wanted to get to my brother but you came just in time! Your the bravest girl I know" he said cheerfully.

They talked for a long time not noticing the brunette standing at the door. " So how were your classes?" Mokuba asked.

"Well my first teacher is really mean he didn't even believe I was late taking care of some bullies. My classes are great except for math. They put me into advanced math because there was no room in the normal class, but I'm really bad at math" she said making a sad face.

"Hey my brother's in that class I'm sure he'll help ya" Mokuba exclaimed.

"I doubt it" Jessica said.

"Why do you say that?" Mokuba said.

"Well people told me to stay away from him because he's really a bad guy! But I don't believe them, but you know what I told them anyway? " She asked.

"What?" Mokuba said.

"I said why don't you go fu-um, do yourself! Seto is a good person unlike you wanna-be duelists, then they all looked shocked and left. You know a lot of people were asking me why I was sticking up for someone like Kaiba, and you know what I said?" she asked again.

"What what what what?" Mokuba yelled.

"Because I like him and he's my friend. Then they said he probably wouldn't call me a friend and I said I don't care cause he is to me then I walked away," she laughed looking at Mokuba's expression.

"Your the best" he said hugging her but pushed away quickly.

"What's wrong?" she asked. Without warning he pulled her uniform top up to show her thin stomach. " What the hell?" she asked pulling her shirt down. He didn't answer he looked at her thin legs then pulled her shirt sleeves up to find thin arms.

"Do you eat?" he asked.

"Mokuba that's rude!" they both turned to see who was speaking.

"Sorry big brother, well do ya?" he said putting his attention back to her.

"Of course I eat!" she said. " How long have you been standing there?" she asked.

"Long enough for your interesting story" he said getting closer. Jessica blushed madly.

"Oh!...well I got to go! See you Mokuba," she said looking at the time.

"Wait stay awhile my brother can help you with your math" he said.

"We had no homework," she laughed getting her things.

"Stay for supper then" he said.

"Not hungry kiddo" she said.

"How can you not be hungry? I bet you if I weight more then you have to stay for supper," he said poking her stomach.

"Okay I bet I weight more, lead the way to the weighting thing" she smirked. All three went to the bathroom. Mokuba went first.

"105 pounds" he yelled. Jessica hesitated at first but slowly got onto the platform.

"Only 98 pounds" Kaiba looked at her. She was going to respond but Mokuba screamed.

"You have to stay for supper, you have to stay for supper," he yelled running to the kitchen because dinner should be ready seeing as they always at this time.

Silences feel between her and Kaiba. After awhile Mokuba got bored because he came back and pulled them to the kitchen. She was only 98 pounds? That's so thin Kaiba thought taking a seat. They ate their dinner of steak, potatoes and salad. Jessica didn't eat too much but Mokuba was still happy that she was there.

"Come here tomorrow morning and we'll all walk to school together," Mokuba said. Jessica looked at Seto then answered.

"Um that's too early for me kiddo plus you can walk with your brother" she said putting on a fake smile.

"Pwease?" he said giving the puppy faces. Damn he's good she laughed. " And I'll get someone too pick you up, and don't worry about a lunch, I'll make ya one" he said.

"Umm you don't need to make me a lunch my cup boards are full of food" she smiled.

"I still wanna make you one!" he said making more puppy faces.

"Fine" she said rolling her eyes.

"Well I got to go it's getting really late" she said.

"Here I'll take you home" Seto said.

"Thanks" she said getting her stuff together.

"Seto come here I have to tell you a secret" Mokuba said pulling his brother to a corner. " When you get there I don't care how but check the fridge and cup boards, I wanna know if she's lying" he said.

"Fine" Kaiba said. He too wanted to know himself and was sure to find out. They made their way to the limo and she gave her address to the driver and they were off.

"Thank for what you did for my brother and me" Seto said looking out the window.

"Your welcome, but what did I do for you?" she asked.

"You stood up for me," he said starring back at her.

"Oh! Your welcome" she said. They drove up to her house and he walked her up to the door.

"Can I use your washroom?" Kaiba asked. That was lame he thought but it worked because he was in her house.

She had a beautiful home, in his opinion her house was the best he'd seen in Domino other then his she has to have food he thought.

"The bathroom is down there" she pointed. I'll be right back and she fled up stairs. Now's my chance he ran down the hall and found the kitchen. He hesitated at first. She has a nice house she must have food. he thought again. He opened the fridge and his eyes went wide because all there was a juice carton. He looked thought the cupboards and nothing. What? How can this be? I don't get it he thought when someone coming down the stairs interrupted him. He left the kitchen quickly and met her in the living room.

"Well I'm going to go to bed so I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" she asked.

"Yeah someone will be here at 7; 30" he said. She walked him to the door and before he left he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Night" she whispered and watched his limo drive off.

She got into her pajamas and fell in bed. He kissed me she blushed. She quickly fell asleep into a slumber waiting for her dreams to come. Seto on the other hand had just gotten home and went straight to bed putting on only boxers and jumped into bed. I can't believe I kissed her he thought. I don't like her! Or do I? No! I don't like her....I WILL NOT like her and with those thoughts he too fell asleep.


"M-m-master the girl with the bracelet, she is in Domino, Japan," the guy stammered.

"Very well we shall seek her in a week from now and where does she live?" the dark figure laughed.

"She lives on 123 Crescent Street" the man replied.

"Very well, when we get her then I will win the duel using her to get Yugi's puzzle and Egyptian god cards and if she's pretty she shall be my new queen, something to keep me entertained and all" he laughed coolly. " Now leave before I sentence you to the shadow realm" he hissed.

"Ye-yes master Marik" and the with that the man left.

Rishid walked in shortly after. " Are you sure you want to do this?" Rishid asked.

"Of course I'm sure, now if you don't mind I want to sleep, we shall get her in a week understand?" Marik said.

"Yes Marik" and he too left. Marik left the room to go to his own and jumped into bed.

"You shall be mine Jessica," he laughed coldly ad went to bed with an evil smirk left upon his face.
