BOOK 1~The Gathering of Friends chapter 1

Yami froze by the ancient gate way to the afterlife

"No, I won't go. I want to stay here with my aibou, my friends,"

"You know the evil one will be resurrected too Atem."

"We'll be able to deal with him. I want to stay Ra."

"As you wish Pharaoh Atem, all the yamis will be separated from their hikaris. Also Pharaoh, a warning. Something surprising will come when you go back to Domino City"

"Yes Ra, I understand…"

Slowly she walked to the front of the class. Her messy brown hair covering her slightly brown face from anyone else's eyes. The orphanage had made her go to Japan to live alone. She was across some one named "Ryou Bakura". She heard quiet gasps at the back of the class. She didn't look up in sake of her own pride.

Teacher: This is our new student Mana Yousouchi. Please welcome her warmly to Domino City!

Mana brushed her hair out of her face and saw the only empty seat was in between two boys. One with tidy waist length white hair, the other with random pointing spikes if waist length white hair. For some reason, she blushed at the sight of both of them, and walked to her seat. Slowly the day went by, at the dismissal bell, she was about to run out when a soft hand caught hers.

Ryou: Hey, the gang and I want you to hang out with us today. You in?

Mana: Umm… sure.

Ryou: Great! I'm Ryou Bakura by the way. I live across from you. This is Yugi Moto, Atem something, Bakura something, Tea Gardner, Tristan Taylor, Joey Wheeler, Serenity Wheeler,(deep breath) Seto Kaiba, Duke Devlin, Malik Ishtar, and Mariku, or Marik.

Mana: Wow, so many friends! I never had one.

All: WHAT?

Mana: I don't know why. People never liked me, especially when I'm holding this.

Mana took out her wand. The gang just stared.

Bakura: Mana, it is you. You're my wife's reincarnation!

Mana:… WHAT?

Me: Ha! A cliffhanger! Beat that people!

Ryou: they already did.

I turn Ryou into a chibi.

Chibi Ryou: MANA! SHE BEIN MWEAN AGWAIN!

Mana: Awww! Too kawaii! I love you!

Me: I'll continue writing soon. For now, read and review!
