A few things to know: This is not at all like Yu-Gi-Oh! in parts. Mai goes to Domino and she is sisters with Serenity. Okay?
Welcome to Domino High School, your typical urban-suburban high school in Domino City, Japan. Smarties, skids, preppies, granolas, loners, lovers and the in and out crowds all rub sleep out of their eyes every morning and head to class.
One this very fine day a car pulls into the student parking lot. Out steps Mai Valentine, a pretty girl, but trying hard not to be. Walking along the stone bath leading to the main building, she is clipped by a stray skateboard, causing the contents of her bag to fly everywhere. The kid who was riding it runs over, beginning to tremble when he sees who he has hit.
"Hey...sorry," he says, bending down to help her pick up her belongings.
"Leave it." She says, but the kid doesn't listen. "I said, leave it!"
She grabs his skateboard, pushing him against a car. He wimpers and she lets him go, shoving his skateboard into his hands. Looking towards doors, a crowd has formed. Either way, she marches towards the school, slamming the doors behind her.
Meanwhile, in the girls room, Serenity, a beautiful sophomore, is applying lipstick. Her less extraordinary, but still cute friend, Tea is right beside her.
"Did you change your hair?" asks Serenity.
"No," says Tea, fingering her straight brown hair.
"You might wanna think about it."
Serenity leaves the girls room, Tea behind her, acting like nothing happened. Serenity is immediately greeted by an admiring crowd. Tea stands unnoticed by her side as Serenity smiles proudly, acknowledging her fans.
In the guidance counselor's office, Yugi Moto sits facing Ms. Perky, an impossibly cheery guidance counselor. He just moved to Domino City from America.
He's quiet as she continues typing. Finally, after what seems like a long time, she looks up.
"I'm sure you won't find Domino any different from your old school. There's the same old asswipe mother-fuckers everywhere." Even while saying this, the plastic smile never leaves her face. Yugi fidgets uncomfortably in his seat.
"Any questions?" Ms. Perky asks.
"I don't think so, ma'am," says Yugi, still trying to be polite.
"Then go forth. Scoot. I have deviants to see."
Yugi rises to leave and bumps into Joey Wheeler, a sullen-looking badass senior. Ms. Perky waves him in as Yugi leaves.
"Joey Wheeler...I see we're making our visits a weekly ritual."
"I missed you," Joey says, smiling.
"It says here that you exposed yourself to a group of freshman girls."
"It was bratwurst. I was eating lunch."
"With the teeth of your zipper?"
Outside, Yugi bumps into Ryou Bakura, a lanky, brainy senior who will either end up politician or game show host.
"Are you the new guy?" Ryou asks.
"So they tell me..."
"C'mon, I'm supposed to give you the tour.
