Chapter One: First Encounters
It was the first day but the young brunette wasn't all that interested as she stood in front of the head of Domino High. "So you've been in France for the past two years?" he asked. The young woman nodded. "That is correct. I studied there until recently." She listened as he began to explain about all the rules and which class' she was going to be in. 'Does he ever shut up?' she mused as he explained about extra curricular activities. 'Boring…he must love the sound of his on voice' she thought as she was handed her schedule, locker combination and room number. "I hope you enjoy your time here." She smiled and bowed respectfully before leaving the room and searching for her homeroom.
Meanwhile, as far removed from the head's office as possible, a tall brunette walked into the room and sat down with out a word. Grabbing a book out of his bag he started to read it while listening to the general noise in the room. "Man Yug, you heard the news?" Kaiba's mouth twitched in annoyance as the voice of a certain blonde American. "No Joey, what's going on?" this came from the 'King of Games' Yugi Moto. The door opened and the other side of Yugi walked through the door. The one who had technically defeated Kaiba. Yami and Tristan walked over to there friends as Tristan enquired "Anyone seen the new student? I hear she's a babe" this piece of information caused Joey to whine for a few minutes about ruining the surprise which made our teen CEO muse with amusement 'and he wonder's why I call him mutt?' until the door opened again.
Once the class had finally settled down the Sensei spoke. "Now, as you have probably heard we have a new student joining us today." The door opened for the third time, allowing a petit brunette access. She was wearing a gray blazer and skirt with a white shirt and ocean blue tie. The Sensei's voice gained the attention of the class. "Please welcome Miss Mitsurugi to our class." Bowing to the class she waited while the Sensei located her a seat. "…Hmm, I would have seated you next to Yami but those seats are taken…Malik, Ryou….you'll need to talk to them again." He looked around for an open seat. "There's one at the back, if you would kindly take it I can begin."
She quickly walked to her allocated seat, instantly noticing the interest of her fellow classmates. 'There will be questions later. Kami I hate this uniform…it makes me look like some Catholic schoolgirl.' She thought as she sat in the seat she was given. The Sensei then told them the topic they would be studying. 'Damn it! I don't have my new books yet! All mine are in French.' She thought with slight panic, until he started speaking about thermal expansion. 'Wait….I already know about this.' She sighed in relief and tuned out her Sensei's words. Deciding this would be a good opportunity to do something she always did on the first day of a new school….doodle, seeming as in almost every school she'd attended she had already learned the topics at her previous school. She jumped when the Sensei slammed his fist on his desk. "MISS MITSURUGI! Maybe you'd like to explain about thermal expansion to the class?" she stood and explained everything she knew about the topic. Even including the reference material that she knew. By the time the bell rang the Sensei didn't know what to say and abruptly left the room.
Kaiba watched the girl with interest as she pulled out a book. He looked at the cover for a moment. 'Is that…French?' he wondered as he scrutinized the book. His view was blocked shortly after. "Errrr…Miss Mitsurugi?" a petite boy queried. Shutting her book after placing her bookmark back she regarded the boy for a moment. "Yes little one?" she asked, puzzled by the boy's friendly nature. He smiled and responded enthusiastically. "I'm Yugi Moto, not little one. My friends all want to meet you will you join us?" She looked over to where he'd gestured and nodded as she placed her book in her desk. Standing quickly she followed Yugi and was promptly pulled up a chair. "So you're the new student?" a tall blonde asked. "No, I just dressed like this for fun!" she responded sarcastically, everyone laughed to the blonde's discomfort and introduced themselves. "Where have you been before you came to Domino?" Ryou asked. She laughed a little. "Where haven't I been more like! I traveled a lot…but for the past two years I've been in France..." She was abruptly cut off by the door slamming open.
The two boys ran in to the room like they were being chased by the demons of hell. Coming towards the group, they grabbed a couple of chairs and sat in them. "Hey Ryou…who's the new girl?" the teen, who was best described as Ryou's twin asked. "If you'd been ON TIME you would know! She's the new student, Miss Mitsurugi." The two regarded her for a moment, she squirmed a little under their scrutiny. "Nice to meet you. I'm Marik, this werido is called Bakura." The taller blonde said in greeting. "So, before we were rudely interrupted…you were telling us where you've been." Ryou interjected before Bakura could retort to Marik's comment. "Well, like I said...I've been a lot of places. France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Egypt…" she was cut off again by both Bakura and Yami. "EGYPT?" they both jumped on the word…Yugi and Ryou rolled there eyes and supressed a groan. "Yes Egypt. I was partially school there…" they were both interested until Yugi and Ryou covered there mouths. She giggled "You can asked me about it later if you want. I loved it there…" they grinned as she told them about the other places…while avoiding other things about her life…things she didn't want to bring up.
Kaiba lost interest when she'd mentioned Egypt…he twitched a little at the mention of that place. Having vehemently refused to believe he was some reincarnation of a certain High Priest, no matter how much he'd looked like the guy he still didn't believe it. Shaking his head to remove those thoughts from his head as the next teacher droned on about something he already knew. He took the time to study the girl. She was wearing an interesting uniform 'probably from a boarding school.' He mused as he noticed the book slightly poked out of the desk. He was even more amused that she was reading it rather then taking notes. 'She must be bored if that book is more interesting…then again this is the teacher who can put anyone to sleep.' He thought with amusement. Looking to her again he noticed that there were notes on the table…they were just in French. 'So if the teacher thinks she hasn't done any work…' he had to admire her ideas…he just wished he knew what she was reading. 'Wait….why am I thinking this?' he wondered as the bell rang. He didn't even realize that time had flown so quickly. 'Wait, I was thinking about the new girl…that's probably why.' As he watched her put the book in her bag and walk out of the room.
It was lunch and she was glad that she was alone…at least for a while. She almost dropped her fork when the brunette CEO of Kaiba Corp sat across from her. They were silent for a few minutes until he actually broke the silence. "So…you're Miss Mitsurugi?" she nodded. "That's me." His eyebrow rose at her slightly perky voice. He flipped to French, wondering how much she knew. "Are you always this perky?" he asked, keeping a monotone voice. She smiled a little and responded "Not always, just when I get to speak to someone new for the first time…I'll quiet down now." He smirked a little, she was good at French. "I see, so you're only this perky around new people?" she paused for a moment to think of her answer. "Well, sometimes it's for other reasons…like the person I'm talking to has an infectiously perky attitude…but I'm fairly normal now." He switched back to Japanese and she was slightly grateful. She loved language but she didn't enjoy the funny looks she got. "Well, it was…interesting to meet you. Miss Mitsurugi." He watched her flinch at the formal name. "You as well Kaiba-san." He smirked for a moment before gathering his things. "Well, hopefully I can talk to again, excuse me." She smiled for a moment and watched him leave. Her new friends sat down and asked "What was Kaiba doing here?" she smirked a little. "Just introducing himself to me…that's all." They took that for an answer and ate while Yami and Bakura picked her brains about Egypt…much to the annoyance of everyone else.
