It was chaos in Class 1-B in Domino High, with all of its students talking at the top of their voices, conversing with each other. One of the rumours that were going about was that a transfer student was going to be transferred to their class. Class 1-B had always got more of their fair share of transfer students, more so than the other classes.

First was Ryou Bakura, then Malik Ishtar, an Egyptian, then it was the arrival of two new students who looked almost identical to Ryou and Yugi Motou, Bakura and Yami. The last two students were said to be the twin brothers of Ryou and Yugi, although a few who knew of the Millennium Items in class knew the absolute truth.

Yami was the spirit of an Egyptian Pharaoh, some 3000 years ago. His spirit had been sealed in the Millennium Puzzle, in order to prevent the dark powers of Shadow Majic from enveloping the whole of Upper and Lower Egypt. The puzzle had then been smashed into pieces, and then solved by Yugi Motou, whose soulroom had then separated into two to accommodate the former Pharaoh.

Bakura was the spirit of the King of Tomb Robbers some 3000 years ago, and he had also been sealed into one of the Millennium Items, the Millennium Ring by Yami, or so called Bel um Fal 3000 years ago. The Millennium Ring eventually landed in the hands of Ryou Bakura, whose soulroom had also then separated into two to accommodate the tomb robber.

After the Memory Arc saga, they all returned into the present time, where Yami performed a ritual where the Yamis could separate from their Hikaris. The ritual was a success, and both Yamis were free of their Hikaris, but on the account that they had to return to their Millennium Items every six months for a week to recharge their powers.

Now they attended classes with their Hikaris in Class 1-B in Domino High, under the guise that they were their Hikaris' twin brothers. Malik had previously transferred to Domino High after he was given permission by Isis and Rishid. The tanned Egyptian was now housemate with both Ryou and Bakura, as Isis and Rishid were too busy in Egypt to even try to buy a house for their younger brother to live in.

But then, a mere week ago, a strange girl had arrived in their house which the three teenagers shared. And that moment where the girl and Malik recognized each other, the Egyptian had embraced her like a long-lost sister. At first the others thought that she was his girlfriend or something, but Malik had just blushed a light shade of pink and revealed that she wasn't.

The teacher stepped into the classroom, and immediately there were scuffles as the students tried to get back to their respective seats. The class quieted down immediately, knowing that their form teacher standing in front of them was not to be trifled with. Mrs. Anderson was a woman with long black hair and there were the words 'Total Bitch' printed on her face. How she ever got married was a complete mystery. She was fat, ugly and totally repulsive. Woe to the unfortunate man who married her.

"Now class," she announced to the now silent room of students in a sweet voice that fooled no one, "We have another transfer student from outside. I would ask you all to welcome her. Please come in."

The mouths of Bakura, Ryou and Malik dropped open as the transfer student stepped into the room. So did the jaws of all the other boys in class, but in a different way. Ahem. Yami however, surveyed her with distaste. He recognized the girl as a former protégée of a silver-haired tomb robber and a blond assassin, some 3000 years ago. Seto Kaiba just continued looking at the screen of his laptop.

The transfer student was a girl with long golden hair streaked with silver, which was now tied half up. She also had dark hazel eyes, her skin just slightly tanned. Perhaps the most unique of her traits were the two dark kohl markings that were drawn underneath her eyes. The markings were identical to the ones under Malik's lavender orbs, except that it was more noticeable because her skin wasn't as tanned. She wore a dark blue tie over a white shirt and a long dark blue skirt that reached inches below her knees, the standard uniform of Domino High School for female students. (A/N: Yes, I know the standard uniform of Domino for females is the one worn by Tea, but hey, I hate it. You think I would let my OC wear something that Tea wears?? So let's just say that they changed the uniform of Domino High, okay?? ^^U)

The girl's gaze swept over the class nonchalantly, her eyes then resting on Malik, Bakura and Ryou, before they widened as she saw the former Pharaoh sitting in front of Malik and Bakura. Crimson met dark hazel as they acknowledged the presence of the other.

"Miss Ishtar, please introduce yourself to the class," said Mrs. Anderson, still using the sweet voice that fooled no one.

The transfer student nodded and said, "I'm Keaira Ishtar," at this most gazes swiveled onto the tanned Egyptian sitting next to Bakura, "And I'm a transfer student from Taiwan. Annoy me and you'll wish that Am'mit had devoured your soul long before you were even born."

Mrs. Anderson looked a bit shocked when she heard Keaira's so-called introduction. More likely it was a thinly veiled threat. She was about to open her mouth to question her about her attitude, when the girl threw her a annoy-me-and-you-will-be-wishing-that-death-would-come-to-claim-you look and she immediately had second thoughts on reprimanding the transfer student.

Bakura elbowed Malik roughly in the ribcage and Malik's lavender orbs immediately snapped onto the former tomb robber. "What??" he hissed in annoyance.

"Keai. Wasn't she supposed to come here only a week later??"

Malik rolled his eyes. "How would I know?? Maybe the paperwork got sorted out earlier than we thought." He paused. "Wait. Since when did you ever start calling my sister Keai??"

Bakura shrugged. "Your foster sister," he corrected. Keaira was adopted by Malik's father after her own Gravekeeper father and his wife, an experienced archaeologist with both Japanese and Chinese bloodlines, perished in a sudden rockslide when she was ten. Others had claimed that it was a curse, for Gravekeepers were only supposed to marry those who were at least of Egyptian Gravekeeper heritage. Keaira had taken on their family's surname and had gone to Taiwan to further her studies in Chinese. "Anyway, she said I could call her that the same way as you. Said her name was too long."

"What about the Pharaoh? You and I both know that their feelings for each other are mutual in a bad way."

"Let's just hope that she doesn't get assigned to sit with the Pharaoh…"

"Wait…"

They both stared at the empty seat beside the tri-colour-haired spirit in front of them and exchanged glances. The seat was the only one available, since the increment of four students in a mere four months had left only the said seat left. Both the spirit and the Gravekeeper groaned quietly. Ryou had noticed the problem too and was at a loss for what to do. Keaira was SO not going to like this…

"Miss Ishtar, please take a seat beside Mr. Yami Motou," Mrs. Anderson gestured to the seat that was next to the former Pharaoh.

"NO WAY!!" Keaira and Yami both yelled at the same time.

But this time Mrs. Anderson was not going to be cowered by the glares from Yami and Keaira. She merely stared at the transfer student sternly. "I make the rules here Miss Ishtar, and if you don't follow them you will be out of this school."

The said girl had no choice. Muttering both Chinese and Egyptian curse words that would have put the sarcastic Seto Kaiba to shame, she proceeded to the seat beside Yami, dumped her books down on the desk and sat down grudgingly. She did not meet Yami's gaze, and lounged in her chair indifferently, not taking in a word of Mrs. Anderson's lesson on complicated mathematical questions.

"Why did you have to come here??" Yami's low voice hissed at her, like a cobra waiting to strike.

Behind them, Bakura and Malik could hear their heated argument and watched with interest.

"To torture you," Keaira replied coldly, still not meeting the former Pharaoh's eyes. The true reason was because Isis had wanted her to come to Domino High in hopes that she could keep tabs on both Malik and her behaviour more effortlessly.

"Look at me when you're talking to me," said Yami, annoyed that the girl wouldn't meet his gaze. Their hatred for each other had started 3000 years ago, when Yami was still the Pharaoh of both Upper and Lower Egypt, when Bakura was still the King of Tomb Robbers, when Malik was still a skilled assassin. Keaira was a reincarnation of Kira, an orphan taken under the wing of the robber and the assassin.

Keaira finally turned to look him straight in the eye, her dark hazel eyes darkening to a fiery red. "Look here, Yami Yugi. You are no longer the Pharaoh who once held sway over the people of Ancient Egypt. Bel um Fal is no longer. You have absolutely no right to speak to me like that, for the loves of Ra just leave me alone and I won't cause any wildfires in this Ra-forsaken class."

She turned away from an astonished Yami and glared at Bakura and Malik who were looking at her interestedly. The two immediately hung their heads down and pretended to pay extra attention to an extreme complication of Algebra.

Malik raised his blond head up slightly and asked the equally confused Bakura. "Hey Bakura. Why do you think Keai just snapped at Yami like that and scared the shit out of us with that mess-with-me-and-you'll-die look??"

The silver-haired spirit shrugged. "It's probably because she got pissed off when the Anderson woman assigned her to sit next to Baka no Pharaoh. That or she has PMS." Malik sniggered silently. Never had he seen his foster sister so pissed off in her life. But then again, it was the first time that she had met the Pharaoh yet again in 3000 years after her reincarnation.

The tanned Egyptian looked over Keaira's shoulder and spotted her threading strands of fire together while muttering an incantation under her breath. Unfortunately Mrs. Anderson saw her muttering something and shouted a harsh order. Unfortunately of course, for Mrs. Anderson. Keaira changed her target immediately, from Yami Yugi to Mrs. Anderson. "Miss Ishtar, would you mind telling the whole class what you were whispering to yourself about??" The class' curiosity was aroused. Even the young CEO of Kaiba Corporations looked over his laptop from his corner seat.

At that precise moment, Keaira stopped her incantations and stood up calmly as she calmly directed the stream of fire at the cuffs of Mrs. Anderson's jeans with a flick of her wrist hidden under the desk. She looked at the wretched teacher dispassionately, who still hadn't realized the fire on the cuffs of her jeans were slowly spreading up the legs.

Keaira smirked. She pointed a finger at the teacher's jeans, where the fire was starting to eat away at the cuffs. "Mei she me. Zhi shi ni de ku zi zhao huo le," she said coolly in Chinese. (Meaning: "Nothing. Just that your jeans have caught fire.") Mrs. Anderson didn't understand the statement but burst out screaming when she looked down at where Keaira was pointing at. The teacher ran out of the classroom hollering about curses, leaving Class 1-B unattended. The students of course, rejoiced, although most of them wondered how Mrs. Anderson's jeans had caught on fire just like that. A few, however, knew the truth.

Meanwhile, Bakura was mock-crying. Malik burst out laughing when the former Tomb Robber said in between mocking sobs, "I'm so touched… My one and only protégée has succeeded in setting that bitch on fire… All my teaching hasn't gone to waste…" Malik only stopped when Keaira hit Bakura upside the head and told him to 'shut that big mouth up before I set fire to that pretty blond head of yours'.

Seto merely gave a low laugh before returning to his laptop, while Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Duke and Tea erupted into childish giggles. Yami however, was not impressed. He threw Keaira a dirty look, which she responded to with a smirk.

For the rest of the hour there was no teacher in charge and even as the students set about either talking or completing their unfinished homework they could still hear Mrs. Anderson scream her head off running along the corridors, chased by the principal of Domino High and a few other teachers who were trying in vain to calm the hysterical teacher down.

And all the while the crimson fire kept eating up the jeans.

Author's note:

About the Chinese that Keaira Ishtar has kindly mentioned. *points at said sentence above in the story*

"Mei she me. Zhi shi ni de ku zi zhao huo le." Ahem.

The 'she' is read as 'sher', 'me' is read as 'mer', and 'de' is read as 'der', 'le' is read as 'ler'.

"Mei she me" means 'nothing much'. "Zhi shi" means 'only', or 'just only'. "Ni de" means 'yours' or 'your'. "Ku zi" can mean 'pants', 'shorts', or 'jeans'. "Zhao huo" means 'caught fire'. "Le" is added at the end for a mere mention that the thing the sentence is referring to, in this case the jeans that caught fire, has already happened.

Put them together and you get 'Nothing much. Just that your jeans have caught fire.'
