This fic idea had been bouncing around my stupid head for EVER and I finally got around to writing it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. I saw the ownership rights on ebay, and I bid on it, but Kazuki Takahashi outbid me at the last second. I can't figure out whether or not I own Heba though, so I'll say I own this specific reincarnation (as a girl…)

Warning: An OOC Jou is all I can think of in this chapter.

Anyways, on with the fic!!

--START--

Lightning shot through the dark, early morning Egyptian sky, making visible the home of seven very different people. All seven of those people were currently sleeping through the storm. But this story isn't about all of these people. It's about only a few.

One of the important people tossed in her bed. Her tri-colored hair fanned out over her pillow, bits of it falling into her tan face. She stretched a bit, and yawned. Her eyes fluttered open to reveal ruby colored irises. Thunder boomed outside. She jumped and crawled back under the covers, and the tips of her bangs changed color from blue to orange.

"Stupid thunder." She whispered to herself. "I'm 19. I shouldn't still be afraid of it." She pulled the covers off and glanced around. She saw another form sitting up in it's bed. "Jou? Is that you?" She whispered across the room. The head of the other turned to her. Lightning illuminated the room, making it so she could see the pale face and blonde and currently orange tipped hair of her friend. He slid off his bed and walked ever so quietly to his friend's bed.
"Heba, I am SO glad you woke up!" He whispered. "I have a really bad feeling about this storm." Heba nodded.

"Same." Jou sat on her bed. Heba smiled at him. Another roll of thunder cracked, and Heba hid her face in Jou's shoulder.

"You act like I'm the older one, even though you're 3 years older than me." He commented. She removed herself from his arm, and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Wait, did you hear that?" She said suddenly, her face painted with panic.

"Hear what?" He asked.

That was when the building began to collapse.

At the same time in Japan, a teenaged boy who looked strikingly like a short, pale, male Heba was running out the door of his home with a Pop Tart hanging out of his mouth. He shouted out to the other occupant of the home a quick goodbye, even though he was currently asleep. The boy ran a few blocks when he crashed into someone.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you! Are you alright?" The boy cried to the other person. The other person looked up at the boy from where they sat on the ground.

"Yugi, it's fine. I wasn't watching where I was going." She said, standing up and brushing herself off.

"Oh, Anzu! I thought I was late. I'm so sorry!" Yugi gushed.

"I said it's fine, come on you goofball. Let's get to school." The two of them walked towards a rather large building with large, ugly letters that spelled out 'Domino High'.

"So, money. How much is in your account?" A taller hooded figure asked the smaller.

"I think between us we have just enough for two plane tickets." The smaller replied.

"Thank Ra. Let's go. Sugoroku will know what to do, he always does." The two hooded figures walked into the Cairo airport and straight for the ticket counter, where they lowered their hoods. The taller said, "Hi. Can we get two tickets for the next plane to Domino, Japan?"

"Great, just GREAT!" The tall girl shouted to no one in particular. Her companion had fallen asleep on the plane, so she was carrying him on her back. It was raining outside. "I HATE RAIN!" But she had no choice. They had no money for a cab, so she was just going to have to walk 27 blocks in the pouring rain to get to the Kame Game Shop. And to make things even worse, the stupid security had confiscated their cloaks on account of them being 'suspicious looking'. Suspicious looking my ass! She thought. The stupid world is put to get me! Well, there's nothing I can do. She sighed, set her teeth, and walked out into the cold, wet streets.

"Ah!" Yugi and Anzu cried, being caught in the downpour on their way to Yugi's.

"Run!" Yugi shouted, somewhat gleefully. The two of them laughed and ran towards the Kame Game Shop. A few moments later, they were bursting through the door. Yugi's grandfather walked out to the shop from the adjoined house on the other side, alerted to their arrival by a tinkle of bells that were hooked up to an elaborate system.

"Welcome to Kame Game Shop, how may I-oh, welcome home Yugi. It's a pleasure to see you again." The old man said with a smile.

"It's nice to see you again, too, Mr. Mouto." Anzu said, with a slight bow.

"Hey grandpa. Sorry for not saying good bye this morning, I thought I was late." Yugi said. His grandfather laughed.

"It's fine."
"So, Yugi, we should get started on our project." Anzu said. Yugi sighed.

"Alright. We'll be in my room if you need us." Yugi said, and the two of them started for the upstairs of Yugi's home.

"Don't do anything you don't want me to see!" The old man called after them.

"GRANDPA!" Yugi shouted, blushing furiously. Anzu laughed nervously, also blushing, and pulled Yugi up the stairs. The bells tinkled again, and Yugi's grandfather turned to the door.

"Welcome to Kame Game Shop, how may I help you?" He asked.

"Su-goro-ku. A lit-t-le hel-p woul-d be n-ice." The figure panted. Recognition sparkled in Sugoroku's eyes. He managed to gasp out one word in shock.

"Heba?"
