!#$%&The new girl, Friend or Foe?&%$#!


Yugi Motou woke up one bright Monday morning; it was that time of year again. The beginning of another school term, third term to be exact.

He took off his warm blanket, a light breeze washing over him, making him shiver a bit. He took off his light blue pajamas and put on his school uniform in a hurry before he caught a cold.

'Yugi!!! Breakfast is ready!!' Grandpa called from downstairs.

Odd, Yugi thought, that isn't the usual cold cereal breakfast I smell, it smells like...barbequed beef!!!

Yugi rushed downstairs to see what was going on. On the kitchen table, he saw to his delight, a plate loaded with beef with honey.

'Grandpa!!! Do you mind if I eat first? I'm going to be late!!!' Yugi shouted, ready to dig in.

From the kitchen came some frying noise. Grandpa must be cooking. Yugi thought.

When he was about to put the beef in his mouth, a stern voice called, 'YUGI!!! You know better than to eat before the chef!'

'Grandpa?! What the...? I thought you were cooking!' Yugi argued completely confused.

'Oh! I haven't mentioned have I? We have a young girl coming, she rented the room next to yours, and she slept there last night.' Grandpa explained.

Yugi had his confused look planted across his face.

'What's going on?' A new, but oddly emotionless voice asked.

'Ah...Astenzu, I'm so sorry, but my grand son started eating your breakfast without asking.' Grandpa explained.

'Oh? I was expecting you both to eat with me. I made way too much to eat by myself anyway.' Astenzu offered, trying to sound happy, but only an emotionless voice came out.

'Hello, I'm Yugi.' Yugi put his hand out for a shake.

'Astenzu Ovia.' Astenzu took her hand out from the mitten and shook Yugi's hand.

'So which school do you go to?' Yugi asked.

'Oh... I just enrolled in a school not far from here.' Astenzu explained.

'Oh, I see.' Yugi said.

After breakfast, Yugi leave for school with his friends. Tea lived very close to his house so they always meet outside Yugi's house to go to school together. Tristan lives closer to Joey, so they go to school together.

'Tea!' Yugi called, once he was outside.

'Yugi!' Tea held up a hand in greeting.

They started walking without another word.

'Yugi have you heard that there is going to be a new girl coming to our school?' Tea asked finally when they were at the gateway to the school.

'No. There is?' Yugi asked, interested.

IN CLASS THAT MORNING

'Everyone, I am pleased to inform you that there is a new student here today. Her name is Astenzu Ovia. She is an orphan and since today is her first day, please give her a warm welcome.' The teacher announced.

The door opened and Astenzu came into the room.

Yugi was shocked.

She wore a blue outfit, a large tank top, with strips of dark blue across the edge of the cleavage area. She had long navy coloured pants.

'Hi.' Astenzu said simply.

'Ok...Um...Astenzu, please sit...ah next to Yugi Motou.' The teacher decided.

Without another word Astenzu walks over to the seat next to Yugi. Throughout class Yugi couldn't help but stare at Astenzu. When Astenzu caught him doing that, she smiled at him. But her eyes...they somehow seemed...Evil...

RING!!!!RING!!!!RING!!!!

The bell for recess finally sounded. Everyone went out for basketball except for Yugi, his group of friends and Astenzu. But not for long, for after a while a boy walked into the classroom, although it isn't time for class to start, not that they would've come in early in the first place.

'Hey! You wanna go somewhere after school?' they asked, he was the most popular boy in Yugi's grade.

Without a word, Astenzu simply nodded. Ramileo (SHADOWS: OK I JUST HOPE THAT NOBODY IS CALLED RAMILEO HERE OR NO NE1 NAMED THAT FOR THIS THEY R GONNA...WELL...GET HURT BADLY...

EVER: AND THAT IS WHEN I COME IN 2 DESCRIBE HOW BAD HE IS HURT SO BEAR WITH ME & MY LACK OF SMALL VOLCABULARY)
went out as if he won the state finals for cricket. After though amazingly Astenzu smiled, but it was an evil smile as if she just got exactly what she wanted.

That night while Yugi was walking silently home from Joey's place, where they played the latest Dungeon Dice Monsters game, Yugi figured that he should walk in the alleyway.

To his horror, he saw Ramileo badly injured in the corner of the alleyway. His teeth were out of place, as if it was beaten by a handful of punches, his clothes were sliced through by a knife, his head was bold on several places some with blood dripping out of it, both his eyes were black, his nose was bleeding roughly, his shoes were missing and his lips looked as if they had been scratched by hundreds of cat claws.

'Ramileo!!! Ramileo!!! Are you ok?! Answer me mate!!!'

Yugi checked his pulse, it was very faint very far away, like a distant thump every now and again out of rhythm.

I'd better get him to a hospital and quick!!! Yugi thought. Who would do such a thing?

Yugi tried to lift Ramileo up, but he was too heavy, with all those cricket training Ramileo had, no wonder he's so heavy.

'Help...Someone...save me...' Ramileo cried out for mercy.

Yugi's pain was reflected to his Millennium Puzzle, causing Atemu to come out.

Atemu easily picked Ramileo up with ease, but heard a small twig crack. He swung his head around to see a shadow quickly disappear from the other side of the alley.

Atemu narrowed his eyes in anger. If I ever find you...you will find the pain happening to you as well... He thought as his carried Ramileo to the local hospital.

When he reached there the doctors and nurses took over. After a few minutes a doctor came out of the room and said that Yugi can go in and see Ramileo now.

'Yugi...' Ramileo tried to say.

'What happened?' Atemu asked.

'Astenzu...She...' Ramileo tried harder.

'What about Astenzu?' Atemu tried.

'She...did...'

BANG!!!! The door whammed open and in came Ramileo's parents with a freaked to pale face planted on them.

'Oh my darling!!!!!! Are you ok? Who did this? Tell me!!!' Ramileo's mother demanded hugging her son so hard that Ramileo seemed to be turning purple.

Ramileo's brother and father pulled his mother away from Ramileo so at least he can breathe.

'Mum!!! If you kept that up YOU would be the one that killed my brother!!!' Reo, Ramileo's brother shouted.

Atemu left them as they kept on fighting. He better get home and figure all this out, Ramileo said something about Astenzu...did this mean that Astenzu could be responsible for Ramileo's injuries?

'Grandpa!!! I'm home!!!' Yugi announced once he entered the room.

Grandpa came out of the bathroom and said, 'Yugi!!! Did you hear? A criminal escaped from Assigios Prison and was said to appear when Astenzu and Ramileo was walking in an alleyway!!!'

Hm... So Astenzu did have that date with Ramileo, but that still doesn't tell me if Astenzu attacked him or not, but what a coincidence that a criminal escaped just as they were going out...this is getting suspicious...unless of course if she has mythical powers of another self!!! Yugi thought to himself and silently giving a hollow laugh.

Of course there are such powers, and such thing as another self, who am I? For instance how can you describe the amazing feeling that saved your mortal body when we were versing Panic and he cheated? Atemu silently reminded Yugi.

(E.I.T.S OK, IF YOU'RE A BIG YU-GI-OH FAN LIKE US, YOU'D KNOW WHO PANIC IS HE IS THE ONE THAT ALWAYS HID HIMSELF FROM HIS OPPONENTS DURING DUELIST KINGDOM)

'Grandpa!!! Yugi!!! Time for dinner!!!' A female voice was heard in the kitchen.

'Is Astenzu cooking again?' Yugi asked his grandpa as they filed into the dinning room.

'Yes Yugi, she came home early today and started to cook the minute she did her homework.'

How is that possible? I thought that she went out with Ramileo after school? And she did...didn't she?

As soon as they reached the dinning room Yugi smelt his favourite food, curry!!!!

'Mmm...Astenzu you're a willy goo coo!!!' He complimented from a mouthful of curry, he was meant to say you're a really good cook!!! But that's the disadvantage when you have delicious curry in your mouth.

'Thanks Yugi...' Astenzu said, blushing a little. Or what would've been a blush if she tried.

'Oh and so how was the date with Ramileo?' Yugi asked, trying to see what she would say.

'Oh...didn't you hear? When we were walking down an alleyway, for some reason he just disappeared, so I thought he left to go home or something so I came back.' Astenzu explained rather quickly, a bit too quickly.

It was an awkward dinner, because after that they just ate silently, which didn't happen very often around this family.

The next day, Yugi finished school, although Astenzu didn't go. Grandpa said she wasn't home either. There were only a little bit of curry left from yesterday, so it was all Grandpas'.

Yugi thought he should take a look at the alleyway again. Sure enough a shadow was talking with another shadow, but when they saw Yugi they just...disappeared. With Atemu taking over, he walked into the darkest parts of the alleyway.

The shadow was limping, when it came close enough it put up its hand toward his neck...

The second the tip of its finger touched his flesh, a kind of memory hit him. But it wasn't his.

FLASHBACK

'Lets break up...it was all a dare, you're not good enough for me.' A handsome boy stated, after that statement he turned away from a young silent girl. Atemu felt all the pain she did, but which wasn't shown on her face.

'You can't leave now...I won't let you.' The girl said, in a painless but strong voice.

'And how could you manage that? You're no doubt weaker than me, I bet if you broke your nail, you'll be screaming for mercy like the other girls.' The swung around and looked back at her.

'Try me.' She dared, giving no hint of regret.

'You just watch.' He muttered in a brave voice, narrowing his eyes. He took her hand and twisted it backwards, when he got no reaction from the girl he warped her nails backwards, without reaction he did it even harder, later he heard a loud crack. Her nail broke. Blood came rushing past, and spattered at the boy.

'Did you say something about reaction?' She asked. Atemu felt a jolt of pain rush through his veins from his nails, he took a look, but nothing was the matter, all ten of his nails were there.

'Still, I'm breaking up with you.' He threw the broken nail to the girl's face, who caught it with ease.

'Are you sure?' She said in a daring voice, 'Because I don't think you can.' When the boy turned around he stopped dead in his tracks. Atemu looked and saw a faintly outlined shape of wolves in front of him. Two of them stopped the boy from going any further away. One of them was standing next to the girl, they were her height and her arm was wrapped around its head.

'What are these?' The boy demanded, swirling around toward the girl.

'Now, now, why are you so rude Arkor? At least show my feelings some respect.' The girl said, trying to test the Arkor boys' patience.

'Feelings? What do you mean feelings?' Arkor asked.

'I mean my feelings, they aren't IN me, they are WITH me. The one with you is Anger and Pain, you better be careful, I don't control my Feelings. They may kill you for all I care.' The girl made clear that she didn't care about the boy anymore.

'Astenzu!!! Take them away!!! I'm telling you!!!' Arkor demanded.

'Well, since I already lost Emotion and Crush, I don't think loosing another is that bad.' Astenzu said, with a wicked grin playing across her face.

Atemu couldn't believe his ears, Feelings as wolves? That wasn't possible. Not here anyway. Such things only existed in Egyptian Myths. And still then those were just beliefs.

END FLASHBACK

The shadow still loomed over Atemu.

'What are you doing here?' Astenzu's voice asked in demand.

'What are YOU doing here Astenzu?' Atemu asked back with the same forcefulness in his voice.

'Mine your own business...I'm just here to look for any tracks I haven't yet covered..' She said as a small outline of a wolf started to appear.
