Chapter one: Tara
**
"Man, only a minute has passed since I sat down on this chair and I'm already wanting to get out of school" said Tristan as the gang was in the room of their first class.
It was a Wednesday morning, the day was starting to get warm because of the sun.
"Hey you guys, they say a new girl's coming to our class!" exclaimed a boy that caught everyone's attention.
"Did he say a new girl?" asked Joey.
"Yeah" answered Yugi and Tea in unison.
"Great! Maybe I'll impress her with my good looks" said Joey smiling.
"I think that you will most likely scare her away Joey" said Tristan.
"What?!" said Joey angrily.
"You don't have to fight" said Ryou.
"Attention class!" said the teacher standing in front of her desk.
All the students went quiet. They were waiting to meet the new girl.
"We have a new student in our class" spoke the teacher "Meet Tara Kasuki".
A young girl walked into the classroom with a back pack on her back. She had light brown colored hair that was a little past her shoulders and caramel colored eyes. She stood beside the teacher facing the class. The young girl was slender and had an average height of 5"4. She looked fragile and gentle.
"Class this is Tara Kasuki, she comes from Egypt" said the teacher.
Joey felt himself blush as well as some other boys in the classroom. Yugi, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.
"Miss Kasuki sit behind Mr. Mutou" said the teacher glancing at Yugi.
Tara nodded and proceeded to make her way towards her seat. She walked past Yugi and sat behind him.
"Alright class, let's start with the new lesson in math" said the teacher picking up her Algebra 2 book from the desk.
"Math, I hate math, I don't understand it that well" murmured Joey.
Tara was sitting at his left hand silently, looking for something inside her book bag that she seemed not to find.
'Ah, here's my pencil' she thought taking it out but it fell to the floor.
As she moved down to take it a hand got it first and picked it up.
"Here's your pencil" said Yugi handing it to her with a smile.
"Thank you" replied Tara taking it and smiling.
"I'm Yugi Mutou" he said extending a hand for her to shake.
"You already know my name, Tara Kasuki" she said shaking it.
"Miss Kasuki, would you answer the problem on the board?" asked the teacher.
The teacher obviously was trying to make sure Tara had been listening to the explanation. She knew well the girl hadn't. Tara looked at the problem written on the board.
"The answer is: x= 9, z= 3" answered Tara.
"That's correct" said the teacher astonished.
Some students glanced at Tara.
"How did you do that?" asked Joey astonished.
Tara smiled "I did the calculations on my mind".
_- Lunch time… -_
Tara was sitting alone on a table eating her lunch.
"Can we sit with you?" asked Yugi as he and the gang approached her.
"Sure" answered Tara.
The gang sat down silently. As Tara picked her milk to drink Yugi noticed she had a ring with a symbol on it on her right hand.
//Did you see that ring Yami?// asked Yugi to his yami.
//Yes I did Yugi, it has an ancient Egyptian symbol on it, the wings of Ma'at// answered Yami //They're carved on the stone the ring has//.
//Do you think the ring has some meaning? The teacher said she came from Egypt// said Yugi //Maybe she knows something about you that can help us//.
//You mean that she may know something about my past. I don't think so Yugi, and either way I don't wish to get her involved with Marik and his evil plans// replied Yami.
//You're probably right// said Yugi.
As he came back from speaking with Yami he saw Tara was staring at him. Suddenly she shook her head and changed her gaze.
\ At the end of school…/
"Hey man, aren't you going to the arcade with us?" asked Tristan to Yugi as they stopped by the school gates.
Yugi saw Tara walking alone out of school and then turning to his friends he said "No, I have something else to do".
"Well see you around Yugi" said Tea smiling.
Yugi waved to his friends and ran to catch up with Tara.
"Tara wait!" she heard as she turned on a corner.
She turned around just to find Yugi there catching up his breath.
"Hey Yugi, what's up?" she asked looking at him.
"I thought we could walk together" he answered.
"No problem" smiled Tara.
They walked together down the road.
"So where do you live?" asked Yugi trying to make up a conversation.
"I live a few streets away from here" answered Tara "It's near the Kame Game Shop".
"I live there with my Grandpa" said Yugi.
Tara smiled as they made her way towards an alley to get a shortcut when suddenly they found themselves surrounded by Rare Hunters.
"Rare Hunters" both said in unison.
"You know about them?" asked Yugi looking at Tara.
"There's no time to explain now" said Tara trying to find a way to escape.
"Master Marik would like to have a few words with you Yugi Mutou" said a Rare Hunter.
"Why doesn't he show up here? He's a coward" said Yugi looking at the Rare Hunter.
Tara found a way to escape, she just hoped it would work. She suddenly grabbed Yugi by the wrist and started running out of the alley. Luckily they ran away.
"We're safe" she said stopping inside a café.
"How do you know about the Rare Hunters?" asked Yugi.
"They tried to steal my cards away once in a tournament but they never got away with it" answered Tara.
//She knows about the Rare Hunters// said Yugi to Yami.
//Yes but we won't get her involved Yugi, I told you// replied Yami.
"Look at the time I have to get home in five minutes!" exclaimed Tara looking at her watch "Yugi it was nice meeting you, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, bye!".
She ran away.
Six minutes later she was entering her house.
"You're late" said a male voice to her.
"I'm so sorry father, I - "
"I don't want to hear more excuses from you, now get into your room before I decide to kick your butt as a punishment!" yelled her father angrily.
Tara nodded and ran up the stairs. She entered her room and locked herself in. She put her book bag down and threw herself on her bed. Her life was more complicated than what anyone would come to think.
"He will soon realize I'm here, when he does I will be in trouble" she murmured looking at the ceiling.
Tara then turned on her bed and took the statue of the god Horus she had on her sleeping table. She looked at it and sighed.
"Oh great Horus I wish you could protect me" she whispered.
|In the Kame Game Shop…|
"Yami I'm telling you she knows something that could help us" said Yugi as Yami sat on his bed in his spirit form.
"Yugi it would be dangerous for her if she gets involved" replied Yami.
Suddenly he closed his eyes and placed a hand on his forehead.
"Yami are you alright?" asked Yugi worriedly.
"Yes I'm fine, I just had a…flashback" answered Yami.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed.
"Yami?" asked Yugi.
"That ring she had…I've seen it before somewhere" said Yami "It's familiar".
"See? I told you she could know something" replied Yugi.
"No, I must be imagining things" said Yami "Let's just leave Tara out of the conversation".
But Yami knew he wasn't imagining things, Tara's ring was very familiar to him. He wanted to find out more about it. But what he didn't know was that he was going to find out more than what he bargained for.
