"The guardians have to start protecting Earth once again."A man with dark blue eyes and tan skin said from his spot on a stone rock and another man who was standing next to him, looked at him curiously.
"Who are the chosen ones this time, Karim?"The old man asked.
"Five boys, Shimon."
"Human creatures?"The only woman in the group asked, looking shock.
"Magical creatures, Isis."Karim answered, a slight frown on his face but it turned into a smile."Nature is their friend, Earth their mother and the forces of nature their allies."The man said and held out his hand in front of him.
"Air."The Japanese character for Air(空気) appeared in front of them."Earth."The Earth character地球."Water."The character 水 for Water."Fire"The Fire character火災.
"And him."They watched as a crystal blue necklace appeared with a boy inside it, hands on the crystal with wide amethyst eyes. The necklace suddenly broke and the boy looked around in confusion.
'Yugi...'The boy blinked and stared at the white light.'...Yugi...'The boy placed his arms over his face as wind brushed passed him and the next thing he knew, he was on the ground, in the rain.'Yugi!'The voice yelled and the boy was startled awake.
"Yugi! Wake up my boy, you're having a nightmare again!"A old man said.
"Whoa!"The boy cried out as his eyes snapped down at himself, he was wearing a grey hooded jacket, a black top and dark blue pants. The boy then looked over at the old man who was driving ands ighed
"This is horrible weather, grandpa."The boy, Yugi, said and glanced out the window.
"Yes, well, lets just be luckly that this weather hasn't turned the streets into a flood."The man said and Yugi nodded before turning off the radio, not wanting hear about the weather since he had just talked about it with his grandfather, Solomon Muto.
"Is this Domino?"Yugi asked, frowning at the grim looking city outside of the car.
"It looks way better when it isn't raning Yugi, that I promise you. It will look bright tomorrow."Solomon said and Yugi rolled his eyes.
"I have school tomorrow, grandpa."Yugi muttered with a scowl on his face, he never liked school back in Egypt. It was so boring.
"Then the day after tomorrow."Yugi growled and shook his head.
'It's Monday tomorrow and then it will be Tuesday so it won't be bright.'Yugi thought with a snarl as they drove into the city.
"I knew he would come, Mariku."
"He hates this City but he'll be ok."Isis said softly.
"Yes old friend, I'm sure that boy and I will get along very well."A man that was covered from head to toe that you couldn't see what the person look likes along with another man said evily."Destroying him will be a great pleasure."The man purred out as he and his friend watched Yugi from across the street.
The Next Day
'Stupid alarm clock! The teacher's first word will be "Bad start, Mr Muto!".'Yugi thought as he ran into the school building but came to a stop and looked around with a frown as he saw some stairs.'And now what?'Yugi's eye twitched as he stood next to the stairs.
"How on Earth am I suppose to find the right classroom!?"Yugi growled out and huffed.
"Do you need some help?"Yugi turned around to find a boy with white hair and doe brown eyes staring back at him with a grin."Yesterday I was as confused as you. I'm new two. The name's Bakura Ryou."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Yugi Mut-I mean Muto Yugi?"Yugi said, sounding confused.
"Boys! Class has already started!" A man with with silver hair that covered half his face said.
"That's Pegasus, he's the principal."Ryou said and Yugi nodded as the man walked down the stairs and towards them.
"To your classroom, Mr Bakura!"Pegasus snapped and pointed in the direction of Ryou's classroom."And you are?"Pegasus asked after Ryou was gone.
"I'm Muto Yugi and I'm new here."Yugi said and gave a tight smile.
"Bad start, Mr Muto!"Yugi's face dropped and he sighed.
With Ryou
"Better late then never, Mr Bakura! You know, I like this class, especially when I'm giving a test."Professor Alex said smirking as Ryou sat down.
"A test!?"A brown haired teen cried out, sitting in front of Ryou, eyes wide."But you said that we'd do exercises today!"
"You should already know that we Histroy Teachers tend to be a little evil sometimes, Mr Yuuki."
"I thought that was just Math Teachers."A boy with sandy blonde hair hair said, smiling.
"Oh no, Joey, they are just as cruel."
"What's the matter, Jaden? Doesn't your magic work anymore?"Joey asked, raising an eyebrow at Jaden who looked back at him in confusion.
"What are you talking about, Joey?"
"About your little school spell of course!"Joey said, speading his arms wide and realization formed in Jaden's eyes.
"What school spell?"Ryou asked and before Joey could answer, Jaden covered his mouth with his hand.
"MMPHH!"
"He didn't say anything! Just opening his mouth to keep himself warm!"Jaden hissed out."AHH!"Joey smirked as Jaden wrenced his hand out of Joey's mouth.
"What's going on over there?"Professor Alex asked, turning around and stared at Jaden, Ryou and Joey.
"Professor Alex, Joey bit me!"Jaden said, standing up with his hand raised in the air while Joey looked away innocently.
"Wonderful Mr Yuuki! You are raising your hand! I was wondering who would like to answer the first question."Jaden's eyes widened as he blushed.
"B-but I didn't..."Jaden said, looking horrified.
"Watch and be amazed, Ryou. First he gets mad, then he falls into desperation..."Joey said as Jaden sat down and stared at them with a dark glare.
"Be quiet! I haven't studied at all! Stoneage is all I know about!"Jaden snarled at Joey who ignored him and pointed at him.
"Then he closes his eyes, crosses his fingers..."Joey said and Jaden did just that.
'Ask me something about the Stoneage, please, please, please!'Jaden thought.
"Hmm, let's see..."Professor Alex said, looking in his Histroy book.
"But it works everytime!"
"Mr Yuuki, tell us something about the Stoneage."Jaden's eyes snapped open and he stared at the Professor with a wide smile.
"Bingo!"Joey cried out and Ryou stared in shock.
"I can't believe it! You did it again!"Joey said, looking down at Jaden with a smile while he frowned.
"Hey! It's a secret! You can't go telling everyone."Jaden growled out and huffed.
"What can't he tell us?"Came a familiar voice to Jaden and Joey's ears and they turned to see a boy with light blonde hair and tan skin asked.
"Malik! Jaden controlled our quiz again!"Joey said and Malik raised an eyebrow at them.
'Controlling quizzes. Thinks he's a big shot but he's just a beginner.'Malik thought as he went to his locker and put his books away.'If they knew what I could do...'
"Bye!"Joey said and Malik turned around after putting his book in his locker.
"Who was that?"Malik asked, eyes narrowed.
"That was Bakura Ryou. One of the new students. The other one is in the same class as you and Heba, right?"
"Yeah, I think his name is Muto something."Malik said and shrugged."Ask Heba, he always has all the news."Malik said, pointing his finger at the teen that walked up to them with a frown on his face.
"Hey guys."Heba said as they started walking down the hall.
"Look at me, Heba. I've seen that look before."Jaden said, looking at Heba.
"Me too. I think it was a documentary about the Easter Island."Malik said and Jaden frowned at him.
"Oh, no, no, no, Malik! I recognize a 'Flunked' look when I see one."Jaden said as they came to a stop outside near the school gates."And I'd say in this case, it's a big fat 'F'!"
"All right, already! I got a bad grade in Math, satisfied?"Heba snarled out, glaring at Jaden.
"Of course I am! Because you know what that means?"Heba sighed.
"PUUUNISHMENT!"Joey howled and Malik smirked.
"Aww come on! You could just look the other way just this time!"Heba whined.
"The law's the law, Heba. You know the rules of our group."Malik said, waving a finger in front of Heba's face.
"For a really terrible grade, we need something really nasty..."Joey said, rubbing his chin as he they walked.
"Hmm, it's strange though. I thought Teana-Ematics was your favourite subject."Malik said and Heba's eyes widened.
"Leave Teana out of this!"
"Of course, Teana! She'll be your punishment! You'll have to ask her to study with you!"Jaden said, smirking evily at Heba who paled.
"Begging and pleading!"Joey added and Jaden glared.
"Don't be unreasonable, Joey! Either he begs or pleads!"
"What about if we make him beg pleadingly?"
"That's ridiculous!"
"No! It's a compromise!"
"He should beg!"
"I said it first!"
"Good luck, Heba."Malik said to Heba, who sighed and closed his eyes, before he walked away.
"Did you do this?"
'What's going on over there?'
"Looks like somebody's gonna be walking home today!"
"Haha could be!"Walking over to where the bikes were, Malik caught sight of the two new students being harassed by Ushio and his friends.
"Real funny."The one that looks like Heba said.
"Isn't it? You're the new students, aren't you?"
"Could you go away, Ushio?"At that, everyone turned around to see Malik standing there."In that mess, is my bike too, you see?"Malik said dryly and pointed to one of the bikes.
"Ice Prince is here, guys, let's go."Ushio snarled and he and his friends took off.
"You just met Ushio and his gang."Malik said and sneered at Ushio and his friends.
"What a pleasure."Yugi sneered as he fixed his bike.
"Don't worry, not every guy here is like him."Malik said and smiled at Yugi who gave a small smile."I'll see you tonight at the Halloween party, right?"
"The party! I forgot all about that!"Ryou said while Yugi looked confused before he shrugged.
"You must be Ryou. My name's Ishtar Malik."Malik said, holding his hand out for Ryou to take which he did.
"Nice to meet you."
"The party is in the gym hall at eight pm. I'm sure this night will be fun."Malik said as Yugi tried to fix his bike.
"Aljahim sakhif! Baed kl ma marrarat bih,wa'ana 'ahibb 'an nansaa hdha alyawm faqat fi 'asrae waqt mumkin!(1)"Yugi growled out in Arabic and Malik raised an eyebrow.
"Yugi was raised in Egypt."Ryou said before he frowned."I have no idea what he said though, he's been going inbetween Arabic, English and Japanese."
"Do you want me to translate what he just said?"
"Nah."Ryou said and smiled.
"The party is going to be a costume party and the best one will be rewarded."Malik said and smiled.
"I'll keep that in mind."Ryou answered.
"See you in the evening then."Malik said and got on his bike.
"I don't know Malik. I really don't feel like partying."Yugi said with a frown.
"You'll get better memories from the party! See you!"Malik said and biked away.
With Ushio
"Well, our fun ended quickly." One of Ushio's gang members said.
"No, the fun is just about to start."Ushio said with a smirk on his face."Come with me."They got up and walked back inside the the school building and towards Ushio's locker.
"Be sure that nobody sees us."Ushio said, a hand on his locker.
"Everything's clear, Ushio."One said, being a watch dog and Ushio opened his locker."What do you think?"
"Signal rockets! What for?"
"School will provide food and music for the parties tonight..."A smirked formed on Ushio's lips as he looked at his friends."...But the fireworks will be taken care of by me!"
With Yugi & Ryou
"I'm not sure if I'll go to the party. I'm tired and I promised my mom that I'd help my grandpa with the store."Yugi said and sighed softly.
"If you're not going, then I'm not going either."Ryou said and smiled at Yugi.
"Let me see what my mom thinks of this."Yugi said and pulled out his phone, which he started texting his mom while he was biking.
"Wow! Your own phone."
"Yep. It's my babysitter."Yugi said with a sigh before he looked back at his phone when it went off.
"So?"
"She said yes."
"Aren't you happy then?"
"Yeah... but it's a costume party."Ryou stared at him with a raised eyebrow."I don't have a costume."
"Oh! Then let me come over, maybe we could put something together!"Ryou said and Yugi smiled.
"Sure...?"Yugi said.
"The Kame Game Shop!?"Ryou said as they walked into Yugi's room after they greeted Yugi's grandpa and mother."This is where you live?"
"Yeah..."
"Cool!"Ryou said and jumped over to Yugi's closet and opened it."Wow! And you said you don't have any costume's!"
Ryou pulled out a short dark blue robe with amethyst patterns, ones that no one would be able to see unless you were standing right in front of the person wearing it, and it had matching pants to go with it.
"Those aren't costumes, Ryou!"Yugi said, giggling, as he grabbed the robe and pants."They're the clothes that I used to wear in Egypt. It was so hot there that I had to cover my skin so that I wouldn't get sun burnt or wind burn."
"Oh, well let's use them then!"Ryou said and clapped his hands together and Yugi stared at him in shock.
"I... I guess..."Yugi said and handed back the robe which Ryou placed on his bed before grabbing some purplish blue slip on shoes before looking back at Yugi with narrowed eyes.
"What?"
"Got any gold cuffs?"Yugi blinked before he rolled his eyes and nodded.
Yugi walked over to where his things were on the desk and grabbed a box which he opened and turned around for Ryou to see. Ryou snatched to golden cuffs and placed them over the lower arms of the sleeves.
"I need something else... Oh I know! A crown!"Ryou said and smiled brightly at Yugi who frowned.
"Sorry Ryou, I don't have one."
"That's ok! I've got one at home that will suit you just fine but..."Ryou looked back at the robe sleeves and Yugi caught on. Turning to his drawer, Yugi pulled out some scissors and gave them to Ryou who stared at him.
"You don't mind?"
"Nope, I've been meaning to do something with it."
"Great!"Ryou chirped and placed the cuffs aside and started to cut the sleeves so that it was that they only cover up to his elbows."There."Yugi nodded and smiled.
"Thanks Ryou."
"No problem!"Ryou said before glancing out the window."Oh hey, the rain's stopped!"Yugi blinked before he looked at window.
"Well then, you better go get ready for the party."
"Yeah, I will and I'll bring you the crown!"Ryou said before he lefted.
Yugi picked up the robe and looked at himself in the mirror, only to gasp when his appearance in the mirror changed. He was wearing the robe but it showed his stomach and his Egyptian pants were tights! And he had wings! Long dark amethyst wings!
"What the!?"Yugi cried out and dropped his robe in shock as the other form of himself disappeared making him blink as he stared at himself, never noticing that two people were watching him.
"Is that him?"
"Definitely! Put on your best clothes Mariku, we're going out tonight!"
"Have fun! Take care of Yugi, Ryou!"Yugi glared at his mom while Ryou nodded and looked at the red cloak that Yugi was wearing over his costume.
"Why the cloak?"Yugi shrugged and looked at Ryou's choice.
"Why a scientist?"Ryou held his hands up in defence.
"Alright, alright."Ryou said before he gasped."Oh yeah!"Ryou pulled out a golden crown and placed it over Yugi's forehead."Now you look like a Pharaoh."Yugi rolled his eyes and shh'ed him as they walked into the gym.
"There they are! Hey!"Yugi and Ryou looked over to find Malik standing in front of them and smiled at him.
"Hey Malik."Ryou said and Yugi nodded his head in greeting.
"Two hours late, as stars!"Malik said with a smirk.
He was wearing white robe with golden cuffs on his upper arms and one long one that goes from his wrist nearly to his elbow and there was a golden bangle around his neck.
"It's my fault. I needed some help with a costume and Ryou decided to help me while it was raining."Yugi said and Malik nodded.
"Did you hear them, Jaden? You could teach them better excuses!"Heba said, he was wearing a dark purple mage outfit along with Jaden but his was black and it has white wings. Joey was dressed up as a hlaf human, half dragon.
"Don't worry! Jaden came late as well! And guess what he told us?"Joey said, putting his hands on Jaden's shoulders and Jaden pouted.
"Ha! Very funny. All my clothes changed their form and turned black and white!"Joey and Heba brusted out laughing while Jaden glared at them.
"I'm serious!"
"I believe you... Er Jaden."Yugi said and gave Jaden a small smile which Jaden returned.
"A photo?"A boy with long blue hair and eyes that were covered by glasses asked, smiling.
"Sure."Malik said and Ryou took off Yugi's cloak."Smile boys!"
"Hey!"Yugi cried out before he was forced to smile just as the camera went off.
"Hatta lla barid, Ryou!"Yugi snapped as he took back his cloak and put it on.
"What did you say, Yugi?"
"Huh?"Yugi asked before he sighed."Sorry Ryou, I'm just so used to you know..."
"Plus, he said 'So not cool, Ryou.'."Heba piped up and Yugi glanced at him in shock.
"Hal tatakallam Alearabi?(2)"
"Nem, Malik wa'ana la 'atakallam, faman ghathm al'umm ladayna."Yugi grinned at this and gave a small squeal before he hugged Heba who giggled and smiled.
1. Fucking hell! After all I've been through, I would love to forget this day just as quickly as possible!
2. You speak Arabic?
3. Yes, Malik and I do speak it, it is our native tongue.
