~Shara's P.O.V.~

I ran down the was just like me to get pulled over by that stupid math teacher about running in the halls.I hadn't even been running and yet he'd made me stay after school!I'd bet all my babysitting money he hates . Kartner can find any excuse or retarded made-up reason to keep me after almost every day.

'Stupid Mr. Kartner!Now I have to run home in the rain!'I thought holding my backpack up so I'd have at least a chance of not getting rained house was at least 5 blocks away from the school and I'd only left 20 min. usually took me about an hour to get there by walking and it was already 5:00.I was angry at Mr. 'd made me stay until I got the whole math room cleaned.

As I ran down the hill I slipped a few sidewalk was slippery and wet from the rain.I didn't watch where I was going because all I was focused on at that moment was getting home and out of the was starting to get dark and I really wanted to get home.

"This sucks!This sucks!This sucks!"I screamed to nothing in unexpectedly,at that moment,I ran into at least I thought it was a person but I had my eyes shut as I ran so I wouldn't have been able to tell.

I moaned as I fell onto the cold,wet,hard that hurt.

~Atem's P.O.V.~

I looked down at the girl who had run into she opened her eyes and looked at me I leaned down and grabbed hold of her her up on her feet again.

"Are you alright?"I asked as she picked up her bag.

" you?"she asked the same to me.

"I'm fine.I wasn't knocked down."I answered.

"By the way I'm Shara Rain."she said putting her backpack on her shoulder.

"It's nice to meet you.I'm Atem...Moutou."I said careful to use Yugi's last name since I knew almost nothing about myself or my real name.

"Why are you out here in the rain?"she asked looking at me curiously.

"I could ask you the same."I said solemnly looking at her.

"Mr. Kartner kept me after(again)."she said sighing and rolling her eyes.

"I was on my way up to the school.I forgot some books there."I said with a slight chuckle.

"Well I guess I'll see you at school ya!"she said before starting off again.

"Wait!"I called after her.

"What is it?"she asked turning around to face me.

"Would you like me to bring you back to your home?"I asked trying to be courteous.

~Shara's P.O.V.~

"Um...sure...I guess."I said slightly wondering why he was offering to walk me back home.

"Aright then.I just need to get my books then I'll bring you to your home."he said.

As I followed him back to the school he was silent.I noticed he wore the boys uniform for my school so that meant he went to the same high school as I did.I followed him into the empty school sooner than I'd thought.

I started getting kind of creeped out at how dark it was in the school and almost began hugging onto Atem as we walked through the dark I was having a slightly hard time seeing where I was going he seemed to know where he was going just fine.

A thunderclap made me hand slapped over my mouth as he turned to look at me.

"What is it?Is something wrong?"he asked with an eerie amusement ringing on the edge or his my fear amuse him or had I just hallucinated that chilling amusement at the edge of his voice?

"It's thunder just surprised me a bit that's all."I said with my heart sill beating a bit fast from the small scare on top of the already creepy,dark school.

"Aright locker is just a bit up ahead Shara so we'll be out of here last thing we want is to get stuck here in a ?"he said moving forward again.

" I've gotta get home.I'm going to be in trouble enough for being late as it is."I said with my voice quivering a small that moment he stopped and I heard the turning dial of a lock,then a click as it opened.A moment later he shut the locker and clicked the lock back in place.

"'s go.I have the books I let's get you back to your house."he said and we both turned.

~Atem's P.O.V.~

The girl gave another squeak as the thunder clapped once again outside the school building.

"Are you afraid?"I asked she didn't answer I asked her once again:

"Are you afraid?"

"A bit.I've never really liked thunder scare me."she said in a slightly small scared voice.I felt a bit of sympathy for her.

"I'm sure it will be alright."I said as we reached the schools exit out I opened the door with a pull and it gave a low creek.A smirk came across my face as I stepped out of the school and into the the moon was coming up and it still was a chill to the air too.

"It's cold out."Shara said with a small shiver.I gave a small smile and took off my uniforms top so all I had on was my black muscle shirt.I would be fine without it.I saw her face turn a shade of red in the moonlight and a quiet,low laugh escaped my lips.

"W-What are you doing!"she asked me with a quivering,nervous voice.I went behind her still,nervous form and draped my uniform top over her shoulders.

"Don't worry.I'm not trying to do will keep you warm until we get to your 're cold aren't you?"I said in a soothing voice.I felt my uniform move forward under my hands as she pulled it a small,approving nod from behind her I lifted my hands from her shoulders and went in front of her.I began walking and Shara followed me silently until we got to the bottom of the hill.

"Where do you live?"I asked calmly of her.

"Almost 10 minuets from the 'Game Shop'."she said still a bit flustered.I turned around and asked curiously:

"The 'Game Shop'?"

Shara nodded and for a moment there was silence again.

"Why?"she asked me in a small voice that made her sound like a scared child.

"That's...where I live."I said slowly and slightly had never mentioned the fact that someone other than Tea lived close to again he may not have known.I didn't understand why but being separated from Yugi made it all feel strange.

~Shara's P.O.V~

"You do?"I asked in I looked at him I noticed something about him I hadn't wore a heavy looking,gold, upside-down pyramid with an eye marking around his hung on a chain.

"Knowing that you live closer to me than I'd expected will make it much easier to get home to the Game Shop."he said and began walking it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would to get to my house.

"Um...thanks for bringing me back."I said while standing on the porch.

"You're welcome.I suppose we will see each other tomorrow."Atem said and pulled his uniform shirt back he turned and left me standing there...just like that.

~Atem's P.O.V.~

I walked back to the Game I got there I wasn't surprised that it was almost 7:00.I quietly went upstairs and sat on Yugi's bed.I had to find out where he 'd Tea,Tristan,and Joey knew I was the spirit now and not the real Yugi.I put my head in my hands,frustrated.

As I lay back on the bed I thought of did I feel awkward when I met her today?

"Do...I really like her or am I playing mind tricks with myself?"I whispered to myself before slowly drifting into sleep after the long day.
