A strange glow
Dark was up to his usual tricks. He had once again successfully stolen another piece of cursed Hikari artwork. He was about to return home when he noticed something odd…
It was a strange glow, off the cliff!
Hey, Daisuke…
What is it Dark?
Is it me, or is there some sort of glow over there?
What do you think it is?
I don't know. But I don't like this one bit. I think we should tell Emiko and the others before we go check it out!
Dark and Daisuke dropped off the artwork. They told everyone that they were going to investigate the strange light. When they arrived at the scene, they found that they weren't alone. Satoshi was there as well.
"Hello Dark."
"Hello Commander. What brings you here?"
"Most likely the same thing that attracted you. Any idea what that light is?"
"Not a clue. I take it Krad doesn't know either?"
"I think it would be wiser to investigate together, don't you?"
"Let's go!" said Dark as he headed into the light, Wiz on his shoulders.
When they the left the light, the door home vanished before either of them could react! Dark and Satoshi turned around just in time to see the cliff side vanish!
"What the hell…?!" said Satoshi annoyed.
"Satoshi, I don't like this…" said Daisuke.
"We might as well look around. Maybe we'll find a way back…" said Satoshi with a sigh of surrender.
They soon found out that they were in the town of Domino. They wandered around for about two hours before they realized that they forgot to bring something to eat! A strange man in what appeared to be police clothes approached them.
"You two mind explainin' why you aren't in school?" he said. (Oh joy, a TRUANT officer!)
"We just came here, sir!" said Daisuke quickly.
"I'll believe that when your parents come and pick you up."
"My father won't bother coming for me…" said Satoshi.
"Why's that son?" asked the officer.
"Because I live in my own apartment, and he won't bother to come unless he absolutely HAS to…"
"And my parents won't care anyway…" said Daisuke.
"In that case, I'll let this slide for now. But if I catch either of you wandering around during a school day again, then you better have a good excuse!" said the officer as he left them.
"Daisuke, I think we better enroll in the local school…" said Satoshi when the man was out of earshot.
"Yeah, really. But shouldn't we find a place to stay until we can go home?"
"Good point. First we find an apartment for two, then we'll enroll in the school."
"But we don't have any cash," objected Daisuke.
"Ever hacked into a bank before?" said Satoshi.
"No, but I don't… Satoshi, you are suggesting that we…?!" said Daisuke in horror.
"Until we find a job, we don't have a choice. Luckily for us, I brought my laptop with me."
Satoshi and Daisuke teamed up and hacked into an ATM in a secluded spot. They found a furnished apartment which was very cheap and rented it. That accomplished, Daisuke went into the closest school for teens in their age group. Much to their surprise, they found out that they would have to be enrolled into a…high school?! Two days later they got their uniforms.
"Tomorrow we start our first day of High School in this weird town," said Satoshi with a sigh.
"Oh, joy…" muttered Daisuke.
"Class, today we have two new students. You can come in now…" said the teacher. Two boys, the first was a redhead and the second, a blue-haired boy with glasses.
"They just moved into town, so I want all of you to be on your best behavior."
"Hey, Yugi, that red-haired kid almost reminds me of you…" said a blond boy by the name of Joey.
"Will you please introduce yourselves?" asked the teacher.
"My name is Daisuke Niwa," said the red-haired boy.
"I'm Satoshi Hikari," said the boy with glasses.
"You may take your seats. Daisuke, take the seat in front of Mr. Muto please. Satoshi, you may take the one next to Mr. Kaiba."
