Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Yu-Gi-Oh season 0, or Yu-Gi-Oh the abridged series.
First off, I would like to thank the readers of my fic Hell at Domino High for making this sequel possible. Seriously, without your reviews and subscriptions I may not have even been inspired to do this. Secondly, I just want to say: read, and enjoy!
*Chemistry*
A large group of kids sat in a medium sized room, chatting and waiting for the arrival of their teacher. Among them were Joey and Serenity, who giggled as they whispered inside jokes to each other. Everyone stopped talking as the knob to the classroom door rattled. The door then opened and a tall man with glasses and a long, black ponytail entered the room.
"Good morning students," he greeted.
"Good morning Mr. Banner!" everyone chimed.
"I hope you are all enjoying your last week," he said with a smile, "As you know today is testing day for the Seniors, and how you apply yourself may affect whether or not you graduate."
He looked over at Joey as he said this, then proceeded to go to the board.
"Now then," he continued, "We also have a new principal, as Mrs. Yudai decided to move to Hawaii after winning the lottery. There will be a brief introductory meeting in a few minutes and she will go over some new rules and say goodbye to the Seniors."
"A new principal?" Joey whispered to his sister, "I wonder who it could be."
Serenity shrugged as the two turned their attention back to the teacher. Mr. Banner stopped and became silent as the intercom come on.
"Attention students!" Kemo announced, "Everyone please to report to the auditorium!"
*The Auditorium*
It took about ten minutes for everyone in the school to reach the large room and take their seats. The only members of the faculty present were Bandit Keith and Kemo. Everyone sat down and got settled while they waited for the arrival of the new principal. Meanwhile, in the rows of seats, sat Yugi and his friends, who were both excited and nervous about their official last day.
"I can't believe we're almost out of high school!" exclaimed Tea. "In just a matter of weeks I'll be on my way to New York to study dancing!"
"Yeah, and I'll be able to work full time at Burger World!" added Joey.
"Um, you might want to set your sights a little higher," said Duke.
"Hey, just having a job in this economy is considered an accomplishment," remarked Tristan.
"Good point," Duke agreed. "I wonder who the new principal is."
"Whoever it is, I hope they're nicer than Yudai. That one day when everything went insane, she not only wouldn't let Yugi go home early, but she wouldn't even let me go to da hospital!" Joey whined.
"Miho didn't like her either," Miho spoke.
Her friends' eyes widened and they stared at her with their mouths agape.
"Uh oh, she's speaking in third person again," Tea pointed out.
"It looks like her speech problem's returned," Tristan said with a sigh, "Time for her to spend another two years at the Research Center."
"Miho doesn't want to go back! Miho missed too many adventures last time!"
"Attention!" Bandit Keith announced from the stage, returning everyone's attention to the situation at hand. "Everyone please rise for the pledge!"
The sunglass wearing blonde placed his left hand on his chest and turned to look at the flag, then gasped in horror.
"Someone replaced the flag with a stained white sheet!" he screamed. "Call the authorities!"
"That's the Japanese flag, you moron!" someone from the audience yelled.
"Wait, I thought Bandit Keith was fired," Tea stated loudly.
Right after she said that, two security guards ran onto the stage and restrained him. Bandit Keith screamed and kicked, but the two guards were able to carry him away. Kemo immediately rushed over the microphone and took control.
"Sorry about that. Anyway, please welcome your new principal: Ms. Chono!"
Everyone gasped as a beautiful red haired woman with a mole under her left eye stepped onto the stage. The woman gave the students a menacing grin and grabbed the microphone.
"It's so wonderful to be back at this prestige school," she said.
"Back?" Serenity asked in confusion.
"She used to be a teacher here," Yugi explained. "But she quit after Yami faced her in a shadow game and revealed her true nature. She enjoys nothing more than being strict and breaking hearts."
Joey started to bite his lip nervously.
"Uh, Yug, you don't think she has it out for you, do you?" he asked.
Yugi's entire body stiffened and beads of sweat began to roll down his face.
"Uh, that…that was years ago," he said. "I'm sure she's forgotten all about it."
"—and so," Ms. Chono concluded, "Even though our seniors will only have one day with me, I'll be sure to make it the most memorable day possible! Now then, please remain seated while Kemo makes an announcement—except for Yugi Muto." Yugi gasped at this. "I need Mr. Muto to report to my office, immediately. Oh, and Seto Kaiba, too."
Yugi cringed and turned to face his friends for support. They too looked horrified by the announcement.
"I-I'm sure you'll be fine," Tristan insisted. "I mean, you have Yami with you."
"Yeah, you're right," Yugi realized. "If she tries anything he can just duel her."
"Yeah. Seems less effective then just melting her face off like he did the last time, but yeah, I guess," Tristan remarked.
With that Yugi stood up and left, leaving his friends behind to listen to Kemo's announcement.
*Staff Lounge*
Inside a medium sized room with two tables, a fridge and microwave, the school's staff (save for Ms. Chono, Bandit Keith and Kemo) gathered around with glasses of champagne in their hands. Dartz raised his glass and smiled.
"A toast, to the official last day of the year!" he cheered.
After that he took a generous sip, along with the rest of the staff. They then set their glasses down and began to chat.
"I for one am glad to be rid of Seto," remarked Gozaburo. "This is the last day I'll have to see his slimey, company stealing face!"
"You can say that again," agreed Mr. Crowler, a flamboyantly dressed man with a blonde ponytail and purple lipstick. "I've only been here a year and a half and that boy has caused me so much trouble that I considered teaching trading cards to a bunch of snot nosed brats!"
"Yeah!" everyone else agreed.
"I'll drink to that!" said Bandit Keith, who stood in the doorway.
"Get out of here!" yelled Dartz.
*The Main Office*
Yugi and Kaiba both approached the door to the office. Once they realized that the other was present, they stopped and looked at each other.
"Oh, hey Kaiba."
"Yugi. What do you think Chono wants with us?"
"Well, she probably wants to get back at me for what Yami did, but you on the other hand, I have no idea."
Kaiba let out a soft groan.
"Well, let's get this over with," he grumbled.
He placed his hand on the knob and opened the door. He and Yugi stepped inside and were greeted by the secretary, Mai. The blonde woman smiled.
"Hey Yugi, excited about your last day?"
"Uh, I was, until Ms. Chono called me into the office."
"I'm sure it's nothing bad. You're as saintly as they come. Can't say the same for Kaiba, though."
"I'm standing right here!" Kaiba snapped.
"Yeah, standing in line for the principal's office; shocking," Mai remarked sarcastically.
The door to the principal's office opened up and Ms. Chono poked her head through.
"Is Mr. Muto here?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Good. Send him in."
Yugi swallowed a lump in his throat and stepped forward. He clutched onto his Millennium Puzzle for comfort and stepped into Ms. Chono's office.
*The Auditorium*
"Now, as you may be aware, the Senior's student council organizes the graduation ceremony," Kemo stated to the large group of students. "However, the entire council went missing last week during an after school event." Everyone looked at Bakura when he said this, but Kemo ignored their accusatory glares and continued. "So, this school is holding an emergency election until lunch! The winners will be announced at the end of the day."
The students took their attention off of Bakura and began whispering to each other in excitement.
"Ah man, too bad Yugi's not here; I'd nominate him in a heartbeat!" said Joey.
"I don't think he has to be here in order for you to nominate him," Bakura pointed out.
"Oh," Joey said, and then stood up. "I nominate Yugi Muto for class president!"
"Nomination accepted!" said Kemo.
Yugi's friends looked at each other excitedly.
"This is so cool! I think I'm gonna run for class secretary," said Tea.
"Mai's already the secretary," said Joey.
"The class secretary," Tea stated. "I just need someone to nominate-"
"I nominate Miho for class secretary!" yelled Tristan.
Tea stood up and shot Tristan a glare, who began rubbing the back of his neck. It was too late though; Kemo had already caught wind of Tristan's nomination.
"Excellent! Any other nominations?"
The auditorium filled with indistinguishable noises as various students began shouting names.
*The Principal's Office*
Yugi's heart skipped a beat as he stepped in. The room wasn't dark and no satanic symbols or skulls of students were present, but the look on Ms. Chono's face was unsettling. An empty seat was set across from her, and a manila folder was placed on the center of the desk. Ms. Chono grinned at him.
"Take a seat," she insisted.
Yugi did as instructed. After grabbing a mug of coffee, Ms. Chono picked up the folder that she'd placed in front of him.
"I just wanted to go over your records with you," she stated. "This folder contains information from your time here at Domino High: absences, conduct and grades. Everything in this folder will follow you around long after high school is over. There's just one little problem, though."
Yugi stiffened.
"A-And what problem would that be?" he asked.
With a grin, Ms. Chono opened his folder and poured the contents of her mug onto the papers. Yugi let out a scream as he watched his records be destroyed before his very eyes. Ms. Chono set her mug down.
"It seems that there's some problems with your paperwork," she said. "I'm sorry, but without the proper records I simply can't allow you to graduate."
Yugi narrowed his brows and squeezed his Millennium Puzzle. It began to glow and soon a blinding light filled the room. Once the lights died down, Yami was standing in Yugi's place.
"Ms. Chono, what you're doing is completely unconscionable! If you don't let Yugi graduate-"
"You'll what? As I said, I can't allow anyone to graduate without the proper records. And even if I did they wouldn't be able to go to college."
Yami let out a low growl and clenched his fists. Ms. Chono merely smirked in response.
"Now, I think we're done here. Go back to the auditorium and send Mr. Kaiba in here."
With a cringe on his face, Yami reluctantly did as instructed. No shadow game was going to fix what Ms. Chono had done, so he and Yugi had to find a way to fix everything themselves—before the end of the school day.
