"Is this someone's idea of a joke, AND WHY WON'T THIS STUPID OWL LEAVE ME ALONE!"
-Yami
Isis Ishtar's slumber was rudely disturbed by a tap tap tap noise on her window.
"Malik, it's seven o'clock in the morning," she groaned, as her watch chimed, obviously oblivious to the fact that the noise was coming from the window not the door five feet to the left. "Cut it out."
She turned over and attempted to fall back to sleep and probably would if the tapping stopped. She threw her pillow over her head hoping to block the sound, but she had no such luck.
"Malik if you want breakfast, there's some cereal in the cabinet, 'cause if I get out of this bed before noon, you better hope the gods take pity on you."
The clamor went on for another couple of minutes before she lost her temper. Finally she opened her eyes and got out of bed.
'Ra must hate me. I didn't leave the museum till two thirty this morning and now I have to get out of bed after three and a half hours of sleep,' she thought as she slowly walked over to the door. "Malik you are so dead when I get out- there?" She trailed off at the last word, the doorway empty. 'Ok he ran back to his room, I'll deal with him later.'
She hadn't even gotten to her bed when she heard the noise started up again. She turned around, catching a glimpse of the owl tapping on her window. She starred at it for a moment before opening her window to shoo it away. Thought that didn't go exactly as planned; instead of flying away, it entered the house, dropped a letter at her feet, and perched itself on the lamp on her desk. Isis picked up the letter and glanced at the address.
Miss I. Ishtar First Bedroom on the Left 25 Ankh Ave. Cairo, Egypt
'This is just plain scary.'
Sitting down at her desk, she lifted the red, wax seal and pulled out four pieces of parchment. Taking the top one, she began to read.

Yours truly, Mineva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
"O-key, they want me to go to a school of magic in England. This is just crazy, but what the heck, the worst that can happen is the bus won't come."
She picked up the two course selection sheets.

She reread the list of choices and thought over her possibilities, before checking off ancient runes, arithmancy, astrology, and divination. She folded up the piece of paper, not before writing her name and giving it to the owl, which took it in his beck, then flying out the window.
'Shit,' she swore as she looked at her calendar, 'That's today.' ____________Tokyo, Japan_____________
Kaida felt a sharp pain on her knuckles causing her to open her eyes, interrupting her sleep; which was very little considering the fact that she stayed up till 4 that morning finishing a book.
"It's too early mom; five more minutes."
The pecking continued until she finally opened her eyes to find a large barn owl scratching her with his claws.
'OK, that's the last night I sleep without my screen in my window.' She then noticed the letter in its beak and its address.
Kaida Micsuei Smallest Bedroom 46 Parkway Drive Tokyo, Japan
"That's it, we've just crossed over into weirdville (Solo_girl: Zoe from the 4th season of Digimon says that, I love it so much {don't own Digimon either}), but what the heck, after the incident six months ago with the guy, I'll believe everything after that."
She opened the letter, and read it the first of the four pieces of parchment.
"'Dear Miss Micsuei, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry' Hold it one second they want me to of magic." She read the next two words, "in England. You know this is just great, great I say, my parent's hate magic in all shapes and forms, including magic shows. And in England, too. They won't even let me go into downtown Tokyo without them. ' Due to the fact of your age, we will be placing you with the sixth years in hopes to make a more comfortable learning environment. Attached is a list of the available courses at Hogwarts. Also enclosed is a permission form for your parent or guardian to sign enabling you to visit the village of Hogsmeade on given dates.' I'm not going to be able to convince them to let me go to Hogwarts, no less sign a form to go visit the village. 'The Knight Bus will be picking you up at 5 o'clock p.m. prompt on August 27th, at your house. You will tell no one where you are going except your parents or guardians. An escort will be meeting you at the Leaky Cauldron with more information. The term starts Sept 1st. Yours truly, Mineva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress.' Ok I probably can sneak off to this Knight Bus thingy since Mom and Dad don't get home from work till 5:30, but I'll need money and for them to sign that form to let me go to the village."
She looked at the next two sheets of parchment containing the courses available.
"Hmmm, well there's definitely no point in taking Muggle Studies, but Divination, Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures seem interesting enough," as she checked the three of them off and sent away with the owl.
Putting the last sheet of paper aside, she slipped on a tee shirt, jean shorts, and a ring with the Eye of Ra on it and headed downstairs, surprised to find her parents still home.
"Mom, Dad, what are you doing her-."
"HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY, KAIDA!!!"
A look of shock was on her face. They remembered her birthday. Her eyes fell on the single gift on the table, alongside with two cards. One present, that was it, that and two cards for her sweet sixteen
'They probably only remembered late last night and got it. They're always so busy working that they forget about me sometimes.'
She sat down at the table and grabbed the closer envelope.
"That's from your grandmother and your aunts and uncles," stated her father.
'My live one that I see once a year.'
She tore open it open to find a one thousand-yen bill.
"They had no idea what you wanted, so we suggested sending you money so you could go shopping with your friends; I guess they took it to heart."
'A thousand-yen, I have the money to buy school supplies now!'
"And this is from us."
Her mother handed her the package, and she opened the card.
"'Fledgling, go and spread your wings For the independence you yearn, It is not time for you to leave us yet There is still much for you to learn.
You start gaining some today But we want for you to know, We promise to always love you, Where ever you may go.
Happy Birthday on your Sweet Sixteen Love, Mom and Dad'"
She slowly undid the green wrapping paper, opened the box, and removed the tissue paper, then gasped and stood up. She lifted up the gift to reveal a kimono, a furisode[1]. The small golden stars, set against a deep, midnight blue backdrop, shimmered as the light soaked the silk dress. The tomoeri[2] was of a plain gold silk as the same for the uraeri[3]. Completely removing it from the box, she held it up in front of her. The doura[4] was the identical to the silk of the eri[5]. She estimated that tamoto[6] would hang down to her knees. Draping it gently over her chair, she pulled out the obi sash[7] and obi belt[8]. The sash was, again, the rich gold silk, while belt was luxurious navy blue.
"Mom, Dad thank you so much, you remembered how-."
Her mother cut her off. "There's still more at the bottom."
Kaida looked again and noticed a piece of tissue paper wrapped around a square shaped object and another around a long, thin, rectangular shaped one. She grabbed the thinner package first and carefully removed its wrappings. In her hand was a pair of navy-colored bamboo hair chopsticks. Located at the top of each were four golden stairs, one on each of its four sides. Laying them down on the table, she picked up the gift. The square package contained a pair of vinyl zori sandals[9]. The thongs were of the same starry silk as her kimono. Placing her shoes next to her chopsticks, she looked up at her parents.
"You don't know how much this means to me; how long I've wanted a kimono."
Her mom smiled at her. "In my family, it's a tradition to give your daughter her first kimono for her sweet sixteen and it's always homemade. We started yours about ten months ago. Your grandmother and I were beginning to look at silk in fabric stores."
"Grandma was with you when you found the fabric?"
"Yes dear, she finished the kimono before her heart attack last month, which was probably a good thing since I'm not the best sewer."
"So this is kinda from Grandma, too."
She nodded. "That makes it even more special to me."
Her mom gave her a big hug. "Happy birthday, sweetheart; see you at six."
"'Bye, Mom, 'bye Dad, I love you both." Her voice was barely a whisper as she watched their cars leave the driveway. Her mom gave her a wave, which she returned with a small smile and a little movement of her hand.
Wiping away her tears, she carefully packed her birthday kimono back in its box as well as the accessories and ran upstairs, grabbing her trunk from the attic. After spending a good fifteen minutes emptying it out and dragging it down the stairs, she finally got it to her room. Going to her closet, she placed at the bottom, her shoes; slippers, flip-flops, and a pair of black dress shoes. Reaching to the top shelf, she pulled out her fleece pullover and two turtleneck sweaters, and placed them on top of the shoes, which she then placed the box containing her kimono on top of it. Then after snatching a couple button-up shirts and skirts, she began to ransack her dresser. In went jeans, corduroys, capris, shorts, spaghetti strapped shirts, short and long sleeve shirts, winter and summer pajamas, socks, underclothes, makeup, and hair accessories.
Putting the thousand yen bill into her purse, as well as the rest of her savings, she kicked off sneakers, set her alarm to go off at quarter after four that afternoon, and fell into a deep slumber.

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF RA, DIE YOU STUPID BIRD!!"
Yugi opened one of his eyes to see Yami, the spirit of his Millenium Puzzle, trying to banish an owl to the Shadow Realm, which seemed to magical dodge every single one of his mind crushes, before dropping a letter in front of him.
He opened it, despite it's weird address (Mr. Y. Mouto Most Eastern Bedroom Kame Game Shop Domino, Japan), and read the top sheet of the heavy paper. His eyes widened. (Solo_girl: *giggling* Imagine his eyes any bigger than they already are he he he AND WILL MY BAKA BROTHER STOP HUMMING THAT STUPID SONG!!! Seto: Don't mind that last part, her brother's been humming/singing/whistling the same stupid eighties song for three days strait. Solo_girl: ggrrrr! Why can't I just ship him to Boy Scout camp for the entire summer.)
"Uh Yami, I think you better read this."
Yami stopped trying to kill the bird long enough to read the letter.
"Is this someone's idea of a joke, AND WHY WON'T THIS STUPID OWL LEAVE ME ALONE!" as the bird kept flying around his hair hooting in a little annoying way.
"I don't think so it's very real looking, besides if it is a joke it's probably one from Tristan or Joey and these courses look really cool."
Yami looked over his shoulder. "Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, and Occlumency; not bad choices," Reading the four classes he checked off.
"I take it you're going, right?"
"Yeah, of course Yami."
"Well, just to let you know, you have exactly 8 hours and 23 minutes till the bus comes." _________________________
Ryou set the owl out of his window, much to dismay of his yami.
//You actually believed that letter.//
/Yeah/
//You are the world's most stupidest abiou.//
/And you're the most stupidest dark. Who's going to send a letter, written on parchment, by owl to us? About magic nonetheless./
//Um....well.....//
/Precisely. Now help me pack./
//No.//
/You're going to help me pack./
//No I'm not, not if you want any help with Divination or Ancient Runes.//
/Fine, I'll do it myself./

Isis was taking the last blueberry waffle of the iron when Malik came thundering down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Could you stomp any louder down those stairs?" asked Isis.
"Sure, I can do it....oh," just getting her sarcasm.
"Nice one, Einstein. Now sit down and eat breakfast; I've got something to discuss with you."
'Oh great, what does she think I did now,' he thought before speaking, "And I have a couple of things to ask you. can I have some money and do you know where one of those big trunks are?"
"Answers to your questions: NO and I'm not going to tell you. I won't have you going on one of your 'taking over the world' missions; especially when I'm not around to watch you for the year."
"You're not going to be here this year?"
"Yes, I need you to help run the museum while I'm gone."
"Sorry, love to, but I have to go to school."
"School, school." Isis nearly choked on her waffle, laughing. "You....going to school....you've never gone to school since you were ten."
"Yeah well it's in England, so you know, I thought it would be cool."
Isis spit out her half-chewed food, which incidentally landed right on her brother's plate.
"I'm not eating that," stated Malik, pushing his plate away.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I'm not eating that."
"No, no, no, before that."
"That I was going to some school in England." He reached into his pocked and pulled out the letter, showing it to his sister.
"Hogwarts, you're going to Hogwarts. Well at least I'll be able to keep an eye on you."
"What?"
"At least I'll be able to keep an eye on you."
"What does that mean."
"For the love of Ra, Malik, how thick can you get? I AM GOING TO HOGWARTS AS WELL!!!"
"WHAT?!"
"I'm going to that school of magic. Deal with it. Now, if you aren't going to finish your food, you can start packing. The trunks are in the attic.

Well the first chapters done. What do y'all think? It's going to be hard for me to update once a week, with school starting and me entering high school and teachers who think we have all the time homework, but I'll try. I write long chapters (ten pages, 3,138 words) so don't flame me because of it. Reviews, please. ~*~Solo_girl~*~

/And you're the most stupidest dark. Who's going to send a letter, written on parchment, by owl to us? About magic nonetheless./
//Um....well.....//
/Precisely. Now help me pack./
//No.//
/You're going to help me pack./
//No I'm not, not if you want any help with Divination or Ancient Runes.//
/Fine, I'll do it myself./

Isis was taking the last blueberry waffle of the iron when Malik came thundering down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Could you stomp any louder down those stairs?" asked Isis.
"Sure, I can do it....oh," just getting her sarcasm.
"Nice one, Einstein. Now sit down and eat breakfast; I've got something to discuss with you."
'Oh great, what does she think I did now,' he thought before speaking, "And I have a couple of things to ask you. can I have some money and do you know where one of those big trunks are?"
"Answers to your questions: NO and I'm not going to tell you. I won't have you going on one of your 'taking over the world' missions; especially when I'm not around to watch you for the year."
"You're not going to be here this year?"
"Yes, I need you to help run the museum while I'm gone."
"Sorry, love to, but I have to go to school."
"School, school." Isis nearly choked on her waffle, laughing. "You....going to school....you've never gone to school since you were ten."
"Yeah well it's in England, so you know, I thought it would be cool."
Isis spit out her half-chewed food, which incidentally landed right on her brother's plate.
"I'm not eating that," stated Malik, pushing his plate away.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I'm not eating that."
"No, no, no, before that."
"That I was going to some school in England." He reached into his pocked and pulled out the letter, showing it to his sister.
"Hogwarts, you're going to Hogwarts. Well at least I'll be able to keep an eye on you."
"What?"
"At least I'll be able to keep an eye on you."
"What does that mean."
"For the love of Ra, Malik, how thick can you get? I AM GOING TO HOGWARTS AS WELL!!!"
"WHAT?!"
"I'm going to that school of magic. Deal with it. Now, if you aren't going to finish your food, you can start packing. The trunks are in the attic.

Well the first chapters done. What do y'all think? It's going to be hard for me to update once a week, with school starting and me entering high school and teachers who think we have all the time homework, but I'll try. I write long chapters (ten pages, 3,138 words) so don't flame me because of it. Reviews, please. ~*~Solo_girl~*~
