Me: In this story Yami and Yugi, Bakura and Ryou, Marik and Malik get separated into two souls. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the characters. I only own K.C.
K.C.: Enjoy.
Her arms crossed and her hair swaying to the wind while she walks. Her sharp serious, blue eyes glare at the nothingness in front of her. The bottom of her long black coat defying gravity behind her, her necklace of colors glitter at the sun's rays, and her black dress pants rubbing against each other.
She continues walking towards Domino City, Japan. Her eyes glare harder when the city comes to view.
Yugi Motuo fiddles with his pencil and stares at the clock. One minute till school was over for the day. He sighs and continues to fiddle with the pencil. Téa Gardner tapped Yugi's shoulder and smiled when Yugi turned his head slightly. Yugi smiles back and jumps a little when the bell rings.
Yugi gets up and puts his books in his backpack. He and Téa leave the classroom and meet up with the rest of their friends. Tristan Taylor and Joey Wheeler waited impatiently by the exit of the school.
The four start walking down the street to go to the Kame Game shop for their day of fun.
Yugi opens the door and the little bell jingles. The four run upstairs to Yugi and Yami's room. Yami lies on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He came home earlier than the others. He always has. None of his friends knew how he got home before them. It was quite a mystery.
Yami didn't feel right; he had a feeling all day that something big was going to happen soon. He sighs and sits upright. The door to the room swings open and the four come pouring in.
Joey gets up to Yami and his nose squishes up against the old pharaoh's, "How do ya always get 'ere before anyone?" he said in his Brooklyn accent. Yami just blinked and pushed Joey away by his face, making him fall off in an epic face down.
Joey sits up and rubs his nose, "Dat hurt ya know!"
Yami just ignored him and leaned against the wall with his arms behind his head. Téa rolls her eyes and sits at the foot of the bed. Tristan stifles back a laugh after he saw Joey face plant to the ground.
Yugi looks at Yami in worry. He noticed that Yami has been acting really odd. He didn't talk to them that much and Yugi kept thinking that Yami was skipping school or cutting out early. Yugi just sighs and sits in his computer chair.
She plays a song from her iPod titled "Me Against the World," a song that fitted her so well. Monster, Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder, Black Vow, and Leave out all the Rest fit the puzzle pieces to her life.
She keeps walking down the street until she bumps into a child. The child was a little girl, her brown eyes glassy and her clothes torn and tattered. The little girl was really skinny and her cheek bones were showing.
The elder just frowns and her eyes grow sharper. She turns and goes over to a fruit stand. She asks the vender for an apple. She pays him and looks at the child. Her frown hardens and she hands the fruit to the child.
The little girl shyly takes the apple and the elder ruffles the kid's hair while walking away. The child yells out thank you to the elder. The elder glances over her shoulder and nods. Not really showing emotion.
She continues to walk down the paved street.
Joey was doing everything to get Yami's head out of the clouds. Tristan and Téa were laughing the whole time and Yugi just sighs in frustration.
Yami just stares at the ceiling above his head. He just couldn't shake the feeling away. It was like an annoying bug wouldn't get off his back. Yami gets off the bed and leaves the room. The others stare at the door in confusion.
Yami puts on his jacket and exits the shop. Yugi knew what this meant, an evening walk. Yami did it very often ever since the millennium items were destroyed. Yugi and his friends were very surprised that Yami was still "alive." But he didn't talk much, he never gave any of them a glance, he disappears every day and he never gave his charming smirks (as Téa says) Yugi was worried.
The next day of school was slow. Yugi tried to find Yami before the bell rang, but he was gone. Yugi and his friends get to their seats and Yami is found in the corner of the classroom. Yugi side glances and looks back at the chalk board. The teacher enters the room and smiles behind his mustache, "Good morning class. Today we have a new student. And she came all the way from Egypt!"
Yami's ears strain when he hears that. The teacher takes out a piece of paper and clears his throat, "Her name is. . . Um, Ms. Kyra Cortland Thorn."
He motions to the door and a girl with sharp serious, blue eyes. She stands in front of the class with a hand on her hip. Her clothes were the male school uniforms and her hair was REALLY long! Her hair was straight and it ended in the middle of her calves. It was dark chocolate brown and her bangs were messy.
Her pale skin didn't say she was from Egypt and her eyes defiantly didn't say that ether.
She doesn't say anything. "Well Ms Thorn, you will sit next to Yami Motou." The teacher points to the corner were Yami was. She nods slowly and goes around the other seats. She sits down next to Yami, takes out a book, and starts reading.
"Okay class, since it's Friday, I'll let you talk to your friends for the day until lunch." The teacher said to the class. The students take the liberty to go over to their friends seats. Yugi goes to the ex-pharaoh's seat. Yugi's friends follow including Marik and Ryou.
They surround Yami, "Yami, what's the matter with you?" Yugi asks in concern. "Yeah, ya have been actin' odd lately." Joey adds. Yami says nothing; he just rests his head into his hands. He tries to look around the room without meeting his friends' eyes. His eyes wonder until they land on the new girl, her eyes on the book in front of her, her hair looking smooth as silk, and her blueness reminded Yami of someone.
He just didn't know who.
His friends keep pestering him until the school bell rings. Kyra Cortland closes her book and grabs her stuff to get to lunch.
Tristan and Joey were dragging Yami to the lunch room and planted him at their table. Marik, Ryou, Téa and Yugi joined them. They all take out their lunches and start eating. Yami just stares at his food. In the corner of his eye, he could see Kyra Cortland sitting by herself and still reading that book.
Yami ignores his friends and goes over to the free seat in front of the dark brunette. He sets himself in front of her and she doesn't glance up. She senses someone in front of her, but she didn't bother to look up.
The others notice and Joey growls, "Why does he keep ignorin' us?"
Téa glares at the dark brunette with daggers. Kyra Cortland keeps her eyes on her book until a voice interrupts her, "Um… Hello." She finally looks up from her book and meets reddish-violet eyes. Her blue eyes look at him in concern. Yami gulps and rubs the back of his head nervously, "Uh, what's your name?" Yami really wasn't listening in class, so he never caught her name.
She stays silent until she says, "Kyra Cortland Thorn" she said solemnly. Yami sighs, "Yami Motou" the name rang a bell, but he couldn't think of it.
Kyra Cortland blinks and glances over to Yami's friends, "Are those you're friends?" she asked in a monotone voice. Yami looks over to where she was looking. He nods. She gets up to her feet and walks over to the table. Yugi sees her coming and he braces himself for anything.
Kyra Cortland stops in front of the table and everyone stares at her in confusion. Yugi was the first to speak, "Hello. Would you like to sit with-"
"NO!"
Yugi jumps. Téa's dagger eyes sharpen, "She's NOT going to sit here!"
"Um, Téa, that's really rude." Ryou says, "She can sit with us if she wants to, she can."
Kyra Cortland frowns, sits next to Ryou and takes her book out again. Yami joins them and sits next Kyra Cortland. Joey scratches his cheek and said, "So Kyra, ya from E-"
"Don't call me 'Kyra' egg casket." She said sourly, "its Kyra Cortland . . . or K.C."
Joey rolls his eyes, "Whateva, so 'K.C.' you're from Egypt?"
"Yes."
"What's ya towns' name?"
"Cairo."
"Why you come 'ere?"
"None of your business."
Joey puffs up his cheeks, "What ar ya thinkin' 'bout Domino High?"
"Never been to a school that long to answer that one."
"Do ya like us so far?"
K.C. looks up from her book and studies the group, "I say you have a fine little group of friends." Her eyes trail down to her hands, "I lost my friends. And family."
Everyone jumps in surprise, "YOU'RE AN ORPHAN!?" they all yell. She does nothing but goes back to her book. Ryou taps her shoulder, she grunts in response, "What happened to them?" he asks innocently. K.C. sighs and answers, "A fire. A black fire."
Ryou frowns and hugs her arm. K.C. snaps her head to his direction, "That's so sad." He said in a cracking voice. K.C.'s eyes soften, but her mouth is still a thin line. She pets his snow white hair, "Yeah. Sad…"
After school K.C. started walking down the street. Yugi runs over to her and stopped her, "Hey K.C.!" she turns and frowns. "What do you want?" she said coldly.
"Do you have a place to stay?" K.C. shakes her head, "Why?"
"Well I was thinking 'cuz you have nowhere to go. I thought you would like to stay with us." K.C. just stares at Yugi. She sighs and mumbles fine.
