LEWU(Kitty) : Hi, guys! So, I got this idea from ... I don't know where ...

Yami: *rolls eyes* You're an idiot at times, Kitty ...

Kitty: Why, thank you, brother. *bows* It truly means a lot to me that you think so highly of me ...

Yami: *rolls eyes* Where's Yugi? You need to have him do the summary and disclaimer ...

Kitty: He's getting ready for the chapter ... And will probably kill me for making him a girl ...

Yami: Meh, it was necessary. Besides, I rather like the outfit you put him *coughs* her in ...

Kitty: *sighs* Just do the disclaimer, Yami...

Yami: Kitty does not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, me, Yugi, any of the characters in the book unless she states otherwise, or the song "Not Ready to Make Nice." They all go to their proper owners ...

Domino was a small town on the east coast of the United States, and few people ever moved there due to rumors that had been spreading about the area for centuries. Young Yugi Moto had heard these rumors and decided to visit the town. No one suspected anything when she appeared, a 16-year-old girl who lived alone and had no living relatives. At least, that was the story she and her friends agreed to give anyone who questioned them; none of them needed to know they had run away from their home.

Although she was half human, she had a slightly odd appearance. Black hair had a habit of appearing in different lengths on different days. She had amethyst tips and blonde bangs, one of which hung down the center of her face. Her eyes were wide and amethyst, kind and loving, but if she were to be angered, those same eyes would lose all those emotions and would appear hard and cruel. Many of her enemies often said that they felt as if she had set them on fire by simply looking at them. Her lips were pink and plump, and her face still held a chubby appearance. Although she had been 16 years of age for about three months, she was often mistaken for a 12-year-old due to her height, or lack thereof. This appearance came from her father's more supernatural side of the family.

Her two best friends, Ryou Shoals and Malik Ishtar, had moved to Domino with her. "I merely need to protect you, my princess, for that is my job. And to do so I must be with you," Malik had said. Yugi knew this to mean, "I really care about you, Yugi, and if anyone harms you, there will be hell to pay," in Malik's language. The teen had put up a tough front after six years of abuse from her father when her mom left them, and she rarely showed affection to anyone besides Yugi and Ryou since she left the man. The only reason Malik had used the formal response when Yugi asked the slightly older teen why she was so insistent upon joining her on this journey was because they were in public and had no reason to hide the fact that Yugi was, indeed, royalty since everyone who lived in their hometown had been those who Yugi ruled over.

As the three girls walked through the streets of Domino, Yugi looked at her best friend. She wore her blonde hair in a pony tail that stopped at her mid-back due to a recent haircut she had gotten just before the three had run away, and she had received her father's tanned skin. She wore eyeliner around her lilac eyes at all times, something she had never stopped doing because it was her last tie to her family and her Egyptian heritage. Yugi knew Malik was happy to be away, but she also knew that the teen missed her elder sister, Ishizu. The woman had been forbidden from seeing her little sister due to showing her that there was more to the world than the room she was confined to one night about four years ago, but Yugi was glad that Ishizu had done so, since she would never have met Malik if she hadn't done that.

Yugi's eyes moved to her right, where Ryou was walking slightly behind him. The youngest of the three teens had failed to pull her long, white hair back, so the wind was blowing it all over the place, and her doe brown eyes were narrowed n frustration as she tried and failed to keep her hair behind his ears. "Ugh! Yugi, do you have a hair tie I can use?" she asked.

Yugi laughed as the girl's British accent came out; it was very rare that Ryou got annoyed or irritated enough for her to unconsciously slip back into her native accent. It was quite amusing that she only ever seemed to get that irritated when her hair wasn't doing what she wanted. "Of course I do, Ryou. Why didn't you ask sooner?" Yugi asked as she pulled the tie off her wrist and handed it over to her friend.

"Thank you," Ryou said gratefully as she tied her hair back and sighed. "There, now I can finally see and don't have to rely on the sounds of your voices." Yugi knew Ryou was pointing out the fact that last time she was following their voices, she almost fell off a cliff.

"Hey, it's not our fault," Malik pointed out. "You refused to look up from that book of yours, and we were about three yards to the left, by the trail that would have prevented you from falling off of that stupid cliff."

The three girls fell into silence after that and sighed as they continued walking and stopped in front of a rather large building with the words "Domino Academy" near the top. Below, in slightly smaller letters, were the words "A World of Learners Where Children Get a Chance to be Great." The building was intimidated, and Yugi knew that the chances of this school being filled with a bunch of filthy rich people who thought they were better than everyone else were high. It was a private school in the center of Domino, and only those who got good grades or had rich families were able to attend.

Malik smirked as she looked at her two friends. "Let's show them how true royalty walks into a building," she said. Yugi gave an innocent smile to both of her friends, and the other two took up positions on either side of her. Yugi looked at their outfits and immediately knew that their clothes didn't appear to be that of a wealthy person. Malik wore a pair of black, skinny jeans and leather boots that stopped at her knees. Her shirt was a lilac color similar to that of her eyes and showed off her stomach. She wore golden earrings in her ears and had gold bracelets on. Ryou wore a simple white t-shirt with a baby blue jacket and baggy jeans. Yugi wore a casual, knee-length purple dress that matched her eyes and black boots. Around her neck was a golden chain with a black pyramid hanging from it, and on her wrist was a black bracelet. A black, half-sleeve jacket covered the sleeveless dress.

Their clothes may not have appeared to be something a wealthy person might wear, but all three knew how to carry themselves so that everyone knew that they had more wealth than anyone could ever imagine. Postures perfect, shoulders back, heads held high, Malik, Yugi, and Ryou walked confidently into the school. All three felt people staring at them, and they smiled at one another. It was obvious that Yugi was the one in charge, based on the way Malik and Ryou walked behind her a little bit. Yugi knew everyone was whispering, seeing as she was a famous singer in the mortal world.

"Ryou, be a dear and hand me my water, please," Yugi said, holding her hand out to Ryou, who placed a purple water bottle in her hand. It was filled with a drink known where she came from as Barq's root beer, although she would not be shocked if these people had never heard of the brand. She smiled at her friend as she took a sip of her drink and handed her the water bottle. "Malik, should I give these students a show?" she asked.

"But, of course, Yugi. They're practically begging you to sing something," Malik answered, causing a smile to form on Yugi's face.

"Alright," she said. "Play the instrumental for Not Ready to Make Nice." The music started playing a few seconds later, and the girl smiled at her friend.

"Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting

I'm through with doubt
There's nothing left for me to figure out
I've paid a price, and I'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell, and I don't have time
To go 'round and 'round and 'round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I know you said
Why can't you just get over it?
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it

I made my bed, and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets, and I don't mind saying
It's a sad, sad story
When a mother will teach her daughter
That she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better
Shut up and sing
Or my life will be over?

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting"

Cheers were heard throughout the schoolyard, and Yugi smiled as she waved at them. Before she turned around and entered the school building, she caught sight of multiple boys gazing at her, and girls whispering amongst one another. She knew that most of these people were going to try to be her friend just because of her fame, but she already had all the friends she needed in Ryou and Malik.
