Shiyu awoke the next morning before her alarm clock, butterflies still in her stomach from Bakura the night before. She wondered, would she see him if she stopped by the game shop after school? Would he email her later? Would they have to wait until each night to speak?

Walking into her bathroom she pulled her long hair out of its ponytail, watching it cascade over her shoulders as she looked at herself in the mirror. Shiyu was always told of her beauty, but wrinkled her nose – she looked just like any other girl. She had curves, soft skin and long eyelashes – she just knew how to dress and do her makeup well. Yea, that was the answer. Shiyu hated thinking that she was better than anyone else, and didn't like it when people told her she was. It was rude.

Peeling her clothes off as she checked the water temperature for her shower, she thought about what classes she had today and how quickly they'd be over with. English, Dance, Trig, Honors Kanji, Clothing… It wouldn't be too bad. 'I should have given him my cell…' Shiyu thought as she rinsed conditioner out of her hair, smiling at the thought of Bakura-kun texting her during school!

She giggled at what they'd talk about as she climbed out and wrapped a towel around herself, then remembered that she'd only talked to this boy for a few hours, and already he was having this effect on her. How was he in real life? Charming? Handsome? How was his page? Shiyu hadn't even checked his page, she'd just talked to him right off the bat. How very unusual of her…

Her mind wandered from this subject not too often as she dried and styled her hair, did her make up, got dressed and went to school. The whole walk she nearly skipped. What was with her today?

As she reached the school grounds her feet automatically took her to the spot where she always met up with her best friends. Today, as usual, Elie and Hideki were the first there. Elie saw Shiyu heading their way and waved, "Ohai-gonzaimasu!" she called. Hideki turned and waved also.

Shiyu jogged up to the girls, "Hi!" she said cheerfully, "where's everyone else?"

"Coming," said a girl with silken black hair, pale skin, beautiful eyes and a desirable body, "They probably went to get breakfast."

"Yea," said the other, much shorter girl, "You know how boys are. Especially these dweebs…"

Shiyu laughed at Hideki. She was the oldest in the group, and the shortest with long black hair, darker skin and large eyes that were almost black. These were the three girls in the group. The three boys would soon make their appearance.

"So, did you finish your layout?" Shiyu asked Elie.

Elie nodded, "Yes! Thank you!" and smiled, "You guys are great, you have been ever since we've first met!"

"Of course!" Hideki said, "We're amazing like that!"

Elie and Raziel were siblings, both had moved here from America a few years back and befriended Shiyu, Hideki, Junoshi and Jikega, where they were welcomed with open arms. Ever since Shiyu had first met him, she'd taken a liking to Raziel. Yet, they'd never dated. Whether it be out of embarrassment of not wishing to tell their true feelings, or fear out of how Jikega would act, it had never happened. But, they'd all managed to stay close friends for this long.

Just as Shiyu was about to open her mouth, they heard a commotion and turned towards the school doors. Three boys had just burst out of the double doors and were running towards the woman. Screaming could be heard before the doors shut, followed by "JIKEGA!"

The girls each sighed respectively and Shiyu also shook her head. Like she said, trouble…

"Ohai-gonzaimasu, ladies," a boy with lazy black hair said, jumping up onto the wall and taking a bite out of his apple.

"What have you done now?" Hideki asked accusingly, her hands on her hips.

The boy blinked, "Me? But why, Hideki-san, would you say something like that?"

Hideki sighed, not at all wanting to argue with Jikega – it was a fruitless battle. No matter what, what he said, goes. He was politely stubborn that way.

Junoshi sighed, leaning against the wall Jikega was sitting on. The two were, and had been best friends, since Shiyu could remember. Jikega and her had dated once, and for a moment were the envy of the school. He had broad shoulders, a charming smile, dark eyes and hair and a way with words. He was constantly in a fight with someone or another, and had yet to walk away with more than a scratch or bruises. However, that could have something to do with the boys he hung out with.

Junoshi was quiet and more laid back, and much less of a show off than Jikega. He was tall, with brown hair and glasses surrounding his dark blue eyes. He was a smart individual [possibly the male version of Hideki, always fussing around grades and his future and was an avid writer. Shiyu smiled at him, and he returned. He had such a sweet smile, and he'd always been there for Shiyu – especially when her and Jikega had their bad times and wouldn't listen to her, that's when the girl turned to her Junoshi-kun.

Then, there was Raziel. This was Elie's older brother – and most of the reason no body in the school would bother with their circle of friends. He was level headed, and the quietest one in the group, but also the most intimidating. He was tall [near 6 ft 2 with broad shoulders and a muscular build. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes, and a smile to cherish once seen. He was very protective of his sister, Hideki and Shiyu, and would always be called along with Junoshi to backup Jikega in a fight.

"He stole that apple," Junoshi finally said.

"JIKEGA!"

"Relax, Hideki-kun," Jikega said airily, "It's not like they're expensive, anyway…They're basically free!"

"But 100 Yen is STILL something!" Hideki said crossly.

Shiyu giggled, "You've opened the can of worms now, Juno-chan."

Junoshi shrugged, "It's what I do,"

The bell rang for class to start and Jikega jumped off the wall as Junoshi pushed himself away. "Here, Shi-kun." Jikega said while tossing an apple to the girl, "You like these, if I remember correctly…" He winked over his shoulder, then walked off to his and Junoshi's first class.

Shiyu struggled to catch the apple and sighed. It was true, she did like apples….but she despised green ones.

"Should I send him a memo?" Raziel asked, one hand in his pocket and the other clutching his school case while he walked with the girls.

She shook her head, "No, you know he'd cause a scene…"

Raziel smiled, "Too true," he said, then held his hand out, "Here. I'm not hungry."

Shiyu blinked and looked at what he held out to her: a Gala apple. She smiled at the red fruit, "Thanks, Raz-san," she replied.

He shrugged, "I've gotta get to class, see ya at lunch," Then walked off.

Elie grinned, "Oooh, he remembered!!" she cooed.

The blonde blushed, going pink as her apple. Gala's were her favorite. Why is it that Jikega – whom she had dated for months – couldn't remember that, while Raziel-sama – who honestly could barely remember what he had for breakfast – did?

"I think," Hideki started, "It's because…hmm, I don't know…maybe…he LIKES YOU and has EVER SINCE HE STEPPED FOOT OFF THAT PLANE!"

The pink went a deeper shade, "Hideki-kun, relax…"

"Oh, I'm relaxed," Hideki said in a calm voice, "I'll freak out when you guys send me the wedding invitations."

Shiyu rolled her eyes and tossed the green apple into a waste bin as they passed, tenderly carrying the gala in her hand. "I'll be sure to put you on the list," the teen replied sarcastically. "But, until then, we're just friends…"

Elie giggled, but Shiyu ignored it as they walked into class and sat down. Shiyu placed the apple in her desk, then turned towards the window while roll was called, thinking along the same lines as last night once again. What was Bakura doing right now, at this very moment? Was he sitting in class, too? What classes had he taken? Was he on the honors roll? Class president? Shiyu smiled, was he fluent in French along with the two required languages or Japanese and English? Alright, maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves…

He said he liked games. What kind? Role Playing? Action? Chance? …Scrabble? Maybe they could play something? Shiyu inwardly giggled at herself, she was taking this way over the top…

She could ask him what kind of games he liked the next time they spoke.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

It was lunch now, and Shiyu was sitting where she usually met her friends – in the middle of a small hill in the schools field, under a tree. There, she took her apple out and admired it before shining it on her chest and taking a bite, the sweet juice running down the corner of her mouth. She wiped it with the back of her hand and stared at the grass. The fruit was sweet and juicy, so very unlike the bitter and tart tastes of the green one.

"'Eh, Shiyu!"

Speaking of the bitter green apple…

Shiyu looked up to see Jikega walking towards her, "How goes it?" he asked as he flopped down next to her.

"Fine," she said, taking another bite of the apple Raziel had given her before taking out her school case and her history homework.

"Man, you seem kinda cold and distant." Jikega said accusingly.

Shiyu sighed, "I'm not, Ji-san," she assured him, "I'm just tired, I didn't get much sleep last night…"

"Why's that?" He asked, lying down on the grass.

Shiyu smiled, blushing slightly – seeing this upset Jikega slightly. "I was talking to a friend of mine…"

"A boy?" the reply came sharp and irritated Shiyu.

"Yes," she replied, "As a matter of fact. He goes to Domino High,"

"You're fraternizing with the enemy?!"

The teen rolled her blue orbs, "Oh, please," she said, "They're a rivaling school, but there's nothing wrong with talking to them…"

"You like him, don't you?" Shiyu felt he was getting a bit too over dramatic with this, but alas, that's how her ex boyfriend was.

"That's clearly an overstatement," she replied logically.

"No, it's not," Jikega said with a sarcastic laugh in his voice, "But I thought you liked Raziel?"

Shiyu blushed. "Why does everyone say that?"

"Because it's true,"

"He's a friend!"

"Who you want to fuck!"

Shiyu jumped up, "TAKE THAT BACK!" she screamed at his vulgar language.

"Take what back?" He bit, "The truth?"

"Don't talk about me like that!" Hot tears started to form in her eyes, "Why do you think I left you?!"

Jikega froze, going completely silent. Shiyu could see the icy pain in his eyes, but at the moment, she couldn't care. Her hot rage seemed more important. Without saying another word, she ran off – rushing past Hideki and Junoshi on the way.

Junoshi seemed worried, "What happened?"

Jikega turned away, "She's a slut," he said out of rage, "Talking about wanting to fuck Raziel and some guy from Domino…"

"That doesn't sound like Shiyu," Hideki said suspiciously.

Jikega shrugged, then stood up and walked off also. Junoshi turned to Hideki, "He's doing it again…"

"He'll regret it," Hideki said, not knowing how right she was.
