Sooooooo, here is my first Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic!:D Please, tell me what you think so far!:)

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, but, Sarah is alllll mine:P

Sarah reached out the figure before her, wanting to know more. She could sense all this immense power, yet great wisdom. She knew that he had many things to tell her, but the figure couldn't tell her yet. So Sarah ran towards the shape, she kept running and running until –

Lawrence Residence, Early Morning

"Good morning Domino City! It's going to be a warm and sunny day, so, to all who are just waking up, here's a little tune for you to get you morning started! "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves! This is DJ Steve Sunshine coming to your from –"

"Ugggggghhhh. . ." Sarah moaned and shut off her alarm.

She crawled out of bed and tripped on a slipper and hit the floor. Sighing and chuckling to herself, she got up from the floor and headed to the bathroom to get ready.

Even though she was upset at "Steve Sunshine" for ruining her dream, she wasn't going to let that get her down. Today, she would get to have a new start.

"Well, I don't really remember anything from my past, so, it's not like it matters," she said to herself while brushing her teeth.

Sarah brushed and straightened her beautiful deep coffee brown colored hair and smiled at her reflection in the mirror. Bright, innocent golden amber eyes stared back at her while she debated putting on makeup. She sighed and decided that if she were to attract any men at this new school, she best not look like a slob. Sarah jogged back into her room, slipping on the rug and almost falling on the way. Grace was a quality she didn't possess. She pulled out her favorite pair of American Eagle skinny jeans, nude colored stilettos, and a low-cut white top that showed off her "figure" well. Sarah looked in the mirror at her outfit and smiled at herself. She was extremely beautiful. You could tell there was a slight amount of Egyptian in her because of her stunning copper tanned skin and her deep coffee hair and amber eyes. Happy with her appearance, she headed downstairs.

Sarah slid down the railing of her steps and into her kitchen to grab some coffee, almost running into her guardian on the way. She was shocked they were awake!

"Oh sorry! Good morning Bakura!" Sarah said, smiling, while diving for some coffee.

"Good morning child," he grumbled behind his own cup while adjusting his robe.

"You know, you didn't have to wake up early for me," she said while biting into a muffin.

"Oh you'd be lost without me you fool, you do need me," he chuckled darkly while taking a long sip of his drink.

She raised her eyebrows, "Perhaps, but, what would you do without me?"

"Spend more time with my boy toy," he said flatly.

Sarah pouted and snatched money off of the counter for her lunch.

"Oh kid, you know I enjoy your company," he sighed and smiled.

Sarah beamed and grabbed her bag and keys to their Land Rover.

"Wait, child, do you have your necklace? I want to be able to contact you," he said while looking sternly at her.

Sarah reached up to her neck and touched the beautiful golden necklace with the Egyptian eye as the main highlight. She shared a bond with her guardian Bakura but with her necklace the link was much stronger. She didn't know anything about her past, she couldn't remember a thing. All she knew was that Bakura was her guardian and he said when the time was right, he'd fill her in on what she needed to know. All Sarah knew was that she was. . . different than most.

"Good. Have a good day at school, keep in contact," he mumbled while walking out of the kitchen.

Sarah ran up behind him and ruffled his fluffy white hair and pecked him on the cheek. "Thanks Bakura," she whispered and headed for the door.

His pale skin turned crimson in a blush. Bakura was seventeen, or so he claimed, the same age as Sarah. She knew that he was older but his body was seventeen due to his millennium ring, but, she never pressed the issue.

Sarah darted out the door and headed for school, hoping she wouldn't get too lost and hoping that she would make some sort of friend. Little did she know, her first day would be. . . different than most.

Domino High, Morning

Sarah's heels clicked as she walked into her new school, known as Domino High. Her eyes scanned everything in sight; posters, couples, clicks, friends, lockers, and students. Clutching her messenger bag, she suddenly felt slightly self-conscious. She felt that she was out-classed and didn't belong. Oh stop it! she thought to herself. Sarah smiled at students as she searched for her locker; it was mainly boys who gave her. . . help. Looking down into her papers and forms, she rounded a corner and right where her locker should be –

SMASH!

Sarah ran into someone and wiped out, her forms, books, and bag went everywhere. They were mixed in with the stranger's things as well.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, feeling her face get hot. "I'm really not very graceful, here, let me help!"

"Oh, it's alright, and thank you," the stranger replied.

His voice was soft and seemed so very innocent. It was sweet and she couldn't help but smile at the sound of it.

They both reached for a language arts book at the same time, touching hands, they both looked up to see each other at the same time.

The stranger was unusually short and he was thin, but he had an innocent face to match. He had violet eyes that showed softness and slight embarrassment.

"I'm Yugi Mutou," he said, blushing a little.

Yugi looked at the girl. She had lovely dark coffee colored hair that made her amber eyes stand out and really glow. She was tall, or rather taller than him, and was thin. Her deep tan complexion matched her hair and her eyes very well, and it made her bright white smile even brighter. Yugi couldn't help but blush and notice her busty figure. I just met her and I'm looking at her boobs, great, he thought. Then he really looked at her, really looked at her face. She was the most beautiful girl he'd even seen. Nobody around here was as stunning as she was.

"I'm Sarah Lawrence," she said, beaming at him.

She stood up and helped Yugi off the floor. He really noticed her height then, but he also saw her heels.

"I'm really sorry I ran into you," she apologized while running her hands through her chocolaty hair.

"It's really ok! So, I'm guessing you're new here? Do you need help?" Yugi said, smiling.

Sarah sighed in relief. "Yeah, that'd be great. Can you help me find my locker?" she said while handing him her papers.

He glanced at the number and started to chuckle. "It's right behind you, beside mine!"

Sarah turned around, looking at the locker that was sure enough hers. She raised her eyebrows and inspected it. "So they moved it, did they?"

Yugi began to laugh hysterically and burst out, "Right after they pushed you into me?"

"Exactly!" she said stifling a laugh.

Yugi and Sarah laughed and put their things into the respective places and got to know each other better. He helped her with her schedule, seeing as his was very similar, and showed her around. As the bell for first period rang, they said goodbye.

"You have study hall period 3! I want you to meet all my friends! Meet us by the big oak tree outside, ok?" Yugi exclaimed.

"Oh, alright. Let's hope I don't get lost or trip and break a leg on the way there," Sarah joked.

Yugi laughed and dashed down the hall to his class. Wow, I've already made a friend? He seems so great, Sarah thought while walking down the hall to her first class.

First Period, Honors Pre-Calculus

Sarah walked into the intimidating math class and sat down. She looked around the room at all the nerdy math jokes and posters of complex problems on the walls. She looked around to find the students in the room starting at her. The boys were making comments and whistling while the girls analyzed her outfit. Feeling more self-conscious than ever, she tried to focus on getting her things ready for class.

"Don't worry about them, they're just jealous of you," a soft, British voice said.

Sarah looked up to find a thin, white-haired, classy looking boy sitting next to her. She beamed at him and chuckled. "Like the vulchers that they are."

"Precisely," he said with a light chuckle.

The way he said it make Sarah laugh, and her laughter was infectious. The white-haired boy began to laugh as well until the teacher came in.

"Settle down now everyone," the short, stout math teacher ordered.

The boy eyed Sarah up and down and whispered, "I'm Ryou. Ryou Bakura."

The last name caught Sarah's attention right away, but she brushed it off and whispered, "I'm Sarah. Sarah Lawrence."

Ryou recognized the last name immediately, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Oh well, he thought and offered his new mate a smile.

Second Period, Honors Language Arts

Sarah and Bakura walked in together, learning about each other and discovering some personality traits. Sarah found out Bakura was very naïve, and that she loved to trick him. But he was also very smart.

Ryou loved Sarah's laugh because it was so infectious and she had a really big heat. He liked that about her.

The two sat down and looked at the classroom, and at the same time they shouted in realization, "YUGI!"

Yugi looked up from his book and notes and beamed. "Ryou! Sarah!" He immediately moved to sit and talk with his friends, one new, and one old.

The teacher, Mrs. Fitzgerald, walked in and everyone immediately silenced. She was an old grouchy woman with daggers for eyes.

"She's one of the meanest teachers in the whole school," Yugi whispered to Sarah, eyebrows raised.

"I personally think she's the biggest wanker this side of the pond," Ryou mumbled.

Sarah and Yugi both started to chuckle behind covered mouths.

"Mr. Mutou, Ms. Lawrence, you obviously are aware of something funny that the rest of us here aren't. Please fill us in," Mrs. Fitzgerald said, pointing her daggers straight at Yugi and Sarah.

Yugi immediately tuned crimson and began to stutter out the words, "I – we – sorry – I – she – we-"

"Mrs. Fitzgerald, I'm surprised you don't know!" Sarah said eloquently.

Yugi and Ryou looked at Sarah, sheer panic in their eyes.

"Go on then Ms. Lawrence," Mrs. Fitzgerald dared.

"The Committee for the Reduction of Redundancy and the Anti-proliferation of Repetition has decided not to meet until they have their first meeting and thus will not be meeting until the first time. Their Pre-meeting Statement wanted to make this clear before they had their first meeting, so that it would not be more confusing. So their first meeting will actually be their first meeting and they will not have a meeting before the first meeting. This should avoid having people show up for their first meeting before it is held, since to do so would be confusing to those who did so and this is what they want to avoid by reducing the confusion and lessening the repetition," Sarah said with a smirk.

Mrs. Fitzgerald stared mouth agape at Sarah, and then began to chuckle. Everyone in the class began to laugh, doubling over, and letting lose. Yugi and Ryou exchanged glances and began to laugh themselves.

"How'd you do that?"Ryou said, gasping for air between laughing fits.

Sarah chuckled and smiled, "It's all about how you word things Ryou! When you don't have it together, just talk like you are the world's expert and then some. You can never let anyone see you sweat, because they'll call your flaw in a heartbeat! But above all, stay true to yourself and your character!"

Ryou nodded and smiled while Yugi thought deeply about what Sarah had just said. How can she be so wise? he thought. She's so different than anyone here and. . . . I'm glad she is!

Period Three, Study Hall

Sarah put her things in her locker and grabbed her messenger bag. Yugi and Ryou had went straight to their study hall group and told Sarah that she must meet the gang. She walked down the hall nervously, clutching her bag. What if they don't like me? What if I'm too different? She opened the doors and walked outside into the fresh air, it smelled of late summer and autumn beginnings. Sarah walked down the steps, tripping and almost falling. She regained her balance and tried to walk confidently.

"Sarah! Sarah!" a familiar sweet voice called out.

She looked in the direction of Yugi's voice and saw a group of friends sitting and standing around a gorgeous old oak tree. She waved and approached slowly, focusing on not tripping and looking like a spaz.

"Hey, you found us," Ryou said softly.

"Haha, yeah, I somehow managed to," Sarah said and smiled at him and Yugi.

"Nyeh, Yug, who's the babe?" a tall shaggy blond haired boy asked while ruffling Yugi's hair.

"Joey!" Yugi exclaimed to his friend as a deep crimson blush engulfed his face.

"Sorry, just askin' bud," he said while smiling bashfully.

"Everyone, this is my new friend Sarah," Yugi announced proudly.

"She's mine too ya know!" Ryou chimed in.

There was a jumbled chorus of hello's and hi's that made Sarah smile.

"Introduce yourself, everyone," Ryou said politely.

The tall shaggy blonde haired boy came up with a d cocky grin. "The name's Joey Wheeler. Pleasure ta meets ya Sarah!"

"Hi Joey, as a hot babe I'd like to say it's a pleasure to meet you too," Sarah said with a sly smile.

Joey blushed and stumbled for words, "Well – you see – I – so maybe-"

Sarah started chuckling and gave Joey a wink.

"Joey Wheeler? Speechless? Never thought I'd see the day!" a brunette haired girl said while laughing and ruffling Joey's hair. "I'm Tea Gardner; it's nice to meet you Sarah! I can tell we're just going to be GREAT friends!" she exclaimed while scooping Sarah up in a hug.

"Er, yeah," Sarah said while trying to break free of Tea's grasp. She wasn't a fan of personal affection and this girl had the bear hug of a football player!

"Geez Tea, I don't think she can breathe, you're crushing her heart!" a brown haired boy said while chuckling.

Tea stopped hugging Sarah and turned on her heels. "Tristan, you breathe with your lungs!"

Tristan thought a moment and smiled, "Oh yeah! Hi Sarah, I'm Tristan!"

Sarah smiled at the boy who she could tell by everyone's faces, wasn't the brightest crayon in the box but she could tell he was sweet. "Hello Tristan, it's nice to meet you!" she said smiling.

"Tristan, I suggest you keep your mouth shut. You might scare her off with your stupidity," a shaggy haired brunette boy muttered. His eyes were ice blue and extremely intimidating. "Hello, I'm Seto. Seto Kaiba," he said matter-of-factly.

"Oh my! The Seto Kaiba? As in the Duel Monsters Seto Kaiba?" Sarah exclaimed, shocked.

"Oh geez, don't stroke his ego," Joey muttered.

There were some groans from the group but Yugi piped in, "YOU like Duel Monsters?"

Sarah beamed and giggled, "I love it!"

Seto smirked and mumbled, "Glad to see I have fans. . . ."

Sarah furrowed her eyebrows in frustration at him and then raised them at Yugi. He simply just shrugged and nodded.

"Is that everyone?" Sarah said beaming, looking around.

"Not quite," a deep, sexy voice said.

Sarah looked and behind Yugi a boy came forth. His appearance was similar to Yugi's but, there were some striking differences. He had the same yellow, red, and black spiked hair. He was much taller than Yugi though, Sarah didn't mind. He had violet eyes like Yugi's, but his were so intense. It seemed as if they had thousands of years of wisdom that they themselves couldn't even reveal to their owner. He was thin and had a deep complexion, much like that of Sarah's. Above all, he was the most handsome and the sexiest man she'd ever seen.

"My name is Atem Ahknemkhanen, but please call me Yami," he said smoothly.

His last name was without a doubt Egyptian, and Sarah loved that. When he spoke she totally lost her cool, which was very unlike her. She just melted at everything he said. Oh, wait! Speak stupid! Say something! she thought.

"Yami, it's a pleasure to meet you. I like your last name," she blurted and blushed slightly. I like your last name? Way to go Sarah, way to go.

And with that, the bell for fourth period rang. Yami smiled at Sarah, grabbed his things and said goodbye to everyone that hadn't already left. Seto was the only one remaining, besides Yugi, and he laughed at Sarah because he could see right through her. She scowled at him and made her way to her next class. Yugi ran to catch up and joined Sarah in walking to Home Economics, seeing as they had the class together.

Lawrence Residence, Night

"So, who'd you meet today?" Bakura asked as they relaxed on the sofa eating chips.

"Some kids, they're really nice. I got close to a few people too," Sarah said nonchalantly, mind drifting to Yami.

Bakura chuckled and raised his eyebrows. "Oh really? I wonder if you met my boyfriend. . ."

Sarah yawned, "Probably not 'Kura, it's a big school."

"It's smaller than you think," he said knowingly.

"So before you creep me out anymore, I'm headed to bed. Night Bakura," Sarah said, ruffling his hair and kissing his head.

"Good night child, sleep tight, don't let your dreams bite. . ."

Sarah whipped around and faced Bakura. How could he possibly know about my dreams? Is our link that strong that he can just invade my dreams?

He only smiled darkly with raised eyebrows at her, so she headed for bed. She took off her clothes and put on shorts and a t-shirt. Her thoughts were going crazy in her mind. Who is this Yami kid? She sighed and crawled into bed. All my friends are so kind, and Yugi and Ryou are just great. And Yami is so. . . ahhhh. . . I hope nothing gets screwed up like last time. . . No, no it won't. This time will be different. This time, I'm safe. This time, I'm older and wiser.

This time . . . will be different than most. . . . .
