'Thoughts' /Yami to Hikari/ Hikari to Yami
Anzu Mazaki walked down the sidewalk, on the way to Domino High. She wasn't in much of a hurry, after all, she had at least 30 minutes until school started. Anzu shifted the weight of her blue backpack from her left, to her right shoulder, just as the wind blew her brunette bangs into of her sapphire eyes. She reached up to push them away when someone bumped into her, knocking her to the ground. Anzu looked up, startled, into a pair of electric green eyes. They belonged to a girl with black hair down to her waist, who looked about 5'5".
"Oh! I am SO sorry! Are you okay?" The green-eyed girl said, putting her hands over her mouth.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's okay." Anzu said, as the girl extended a hand to help her up. The brunette noticed that the sleeve was pink. In fact, the uniform the girl was wearing was identical to hers.
"I'm Kotori Susayki, by the way." The green-eyed girl said. "I just moved here from Egypt."
"I'm Anzu Mazaki." Anzu replied, with a slight smile, "Egypt, hm? That would explain why I haven't seen you at school before." She didn't pay too much attention to what she was saying. In fact, she was staring at Kotori's skin, which was not as dark as Malik's or Isis'. She was tanned, but it didn't look like her natural colour, plus her features were typically Japanese. As if reading the blue-eyed girl's mind, Kotori continued, "I was born in Japan, I only moved to Egypt for 2 years."
Anzu and Kotori talked on the way to school, and became friends quickly. Anzu briefly noted how nice to was to have someone to talk to. "So what class are you going to be in Kotori?" She asked, just as Kotori looked at her watch "Oh... Anzu I'll meet you at school later, cause right now I'm supposed to be talking to the principal!" Anzu didn't have to time get in a reply, before the black haired girl sprinted toward the school, which was now only a few meters away. Anzu watched her leave, before going to meet Yugi and the rest of the gang.
The bell rang and Mr. Zenigata, the class B teacher, walked in. "I'd like your attention. We have a new student joining our class today, Kotori Susayki. I expect that all you will make her feel welcome." He said. "Mr. Moto, I believe there is a seat in front of you. Please raise your hand so Ms. Susayki will know where to sit." The teacher finished. Yugi raised his hand and watched Kotori walk to the seat in front of him. She didn't look too nervous, compared to how most people seem on their first day.
Kotori looked at the teacher who was facing away from the students. Seeing as he wasn't watching, she took this chance to look around; nobody seemed to be paying much attention. Some people were talking. Others were doodling in their notebooks, reading or doing their homework. One boy with blonde hair was sleeping, while a brunette boy with odd hair was taping stuff to the blonde's back. Confused by the odd behavior, Kotori returned her attention to the teacher... who had fallen asleep on his desk. She arched an eyebrow, 'Okaaaay. So that explains why nobody's paying attention'. She went back to observing her class mates and saw a group of girls around a desk, cheering. Some boys had started a sort of mini duel tournament.
While Kotori was watching, somebody came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to see Anzu. "Hey Anzu... does the teacher usually fall asleep during class?" Kotori asked. It was a rather odd thing for a teacher to do after all. It wasn't like they were paid to sleep or anything.
"Only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesday and Thursday he storms out of the classroom saying he can't take it anymore." Anzu replied, grinning slightly. "Really?" Kotori asked, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Yup! So anyway, do you want to meet my other friends?" Anzu said.
"Sure, why not." Kotori replied. She followed Anzu over to a group of boys. "Kotori, these are my friends. The one with the tri-colored hair is Yugi, the blonde one is Joey, and the one with brown hair is Tristen." She pointed to each of them as she said their name, before introducing her new friend. " Guys, this is Kotori. She's moved here from Egypt. Isn't that cool?" Anzu finished. The guys greeted her in turn.
"So, is a Duel monster a popular game here?" Kotori asked, as a way of making conversation.
"Yeah, mostly among the guys though." Yugi replied, a little quietly. He did tend to be slightly shy around newcomers.
"Oh... I see." Said Kotori, though she was still a little confused. "But what's with all the girls over there, then??" Kotori asked, pointing toward Duke's desk.
The group chuckled and Joey even went as far as to roll his eyes. "I'll tell you later Kotori." Anzu replied, always the polite one, though she seemed to be fighting the urge to roll her eyes too. The cheering girls must be a common source of annoyance. Or maybe it was what they were cheering about that was annoying.
"Okay." Kotori said, figuring the information wasn't too important.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the classroom, as boy with pale hair watched the newcomer, through dark eyes. "I see there is another item in the classroom that does not belong to the pharaoh or me... How interesting." Bakura mused.
