I originally wrote this for English class

This takes place before the Battle City Tournament.

Yugi Muto puts his dueling deck in his pocket and ran out of his room.

"Yugi, where are you going in a hurry?"

"To meet Anzu and the others," he said over his shoulder, as he ran out of the shop door. He slows down to a walk.

"Yugi, why did you rush out of the house like that? It's not you." Yugi looked into his reflection on the window of a building. Yami was standing behind him.

"I just had a feeling that I had to go to school early. That's all. Yami, why don't you go back into the puzzle and try to figure out your past." Yami closes his eyes and disappeared into the millennium puzzle around Yugi's neck. A girl with a pale completion, dressed in the uniform of his school, walks past him. Her blood red hair's tied into a ponytail; her green eyes were barely covered with a pair of sunglasses. Yugi sensed that someone was watching him, but didn't see anybody. He shook it off and continued waking to school.

"Hey, Yugi." Anzu was waiting for him in front of the school.

"Anzu! I wouldn't think that you'd come to school this early." She just laughs and winks at him.

"It's my own little secret." Yugi shakes his head and goes into school. He got the books he needed for class and went to homeroom. Kaiba was sitting in his seat in the back of the room. He was drawing on a sheet of paper, it looks like a new design for his duel dick. Yugi takes his seat next to the window. Jounouchi and Honda entered the room before the last bell rang, and quickly took their seats before the teacher entered the room, with the girl who walked past Yugi earlier.

"Class this is Miss Sedjet Kenjela. Why don't you sit in front of Mr. Kaiba." She takes her seat in front of Kaiba. Around lunchtime, she couldn't find a place to sit.

"Hey, why don't you sit and eat with us," Jounouchi yells to her. She shyly walks over to the table, where Yugi and the others were.

"Your name's Sedjet, right? I'm Anzu. This is Yugi, Honda, and Jounouchi."

"Nice to meet you." Sedjet sat next to Jounouchi, Anzu was sitting next to Yugi and Honda.

"So, Sedjet, where are you from?" She looked at Jounouchi.

"I'm from Cairo."

"You're from Egypt?"

"No idiot she's from the U.S."

"You know Honda, you got a lot of nerve talking to me like that," Jounouchi said, as he gave Honda the finger. The two start arguing. After a few minutes, Anzu stopped them, by giving them her usual speech about friendship.

"Sedjet, you said you're from Egypt right," asked Yugi.

"Yeah."

"Well I want to know if you know anyone by the name Merik?" She thinks for a moment then shook her head. I mustn't let them know the truth, she thought to herself.

After school, she saw Yugi and Seto Kaiba at the front gate. They seem to be arguing about something. Kaiba makes a fist and looks like he's going to hit Yugi on the face. She runs over to Yugi's side.

"Hey, Yugi. Who's this guy? Is he bugging you?"

"Oh, Sedjet. Kaiba's not bothering me. He just wants to have a rematch, that's all."

"Rematch? What kind of rematch?"

"None of your business!" She gave Kaiba another glare. What in the world is up with this girl, he thought.

"Girl here's a tip; don't hang out with this loser and his friends, unless you want to end up like them."

"My name's Sedjet, and I can hang out with whom ever I want!"

"Feh, then don't expect any invites from me."

"Why would I want to be invited to anything from a jerk like you!" Kaiba gives her one last glare, then walks off.

"This must have been a first for Kaiba."

"What do you mean?"

"No girl, besides Anzu, ever ditshed him." Sedjet looks at Yugi and smiles.

"Well he was a jerk to the both of us. I had to do something." Both of them start walking home together. They both start talking what they like to do, how Sedjet likes living in Japan, how it was like to live in Egypt, etc. They reach the card shop.

"Well, this is where I live. See you Sedjet."

"Bye Yugi." He enters the shop leaving her to walk home on her own. Yugi walks past his grandpa and heads to his room. He takes his jacket off and throws it on a chair.

"Yugi, that new girl Sedjet, she looks familiar." Yugi looked at Yami, who was sitting on his bed.

"You're saying that you remember something from your past?"

"No, not yet; but I'm close to uncovering a piece of it," Yami lies down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, "I think I knew her past self."

"Well maybe if you see her for more that a few seconds; you might remember, at least, where you saw her."

I used the Japanese names of the original characters.

Sedjet means fire in Egyptian (it's pronounced sDt).
