2. Una Yamagawa

Yugi:

Una Yamagawa stood with her head slightly bowed in front of all of them. Her hands were folded in front of her, and her hair fell down her back and over her shoulders, framing her face. Around her neck she wore a white crystal in the shape of a teardrop in a gold chain. You could see she was very nervous. Surprisingly enough, she wore the new school uniform for the girls. It consisted of a black, bell shaped, knee length skirt, a white shirt, a dark grey vest, a black jacket, white stockings and black shoes. She looked very pretty in it, though it revealed she was a bit different from the others. Yugi looked at her, feeling slightly worried for her, since Una Yamagawa was pale, very pale. He could tell she was already fair skinned, from Europe, but this was ridiculous! Nobody was that pale, unless they were sick. "What could be wrong with her?" He thought.

The teacher smiled encouragingly at her and said: "Why don't you present yourself for your new classmates?" She looked up with a start, as if she had forgotten she wasn't alone, and nodded slightly. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and finally looked at them with her big, brown eyes.

"Hello. My name is Una Yamagawa. As you've just heard, I come from Denmark, a little country in northern Europe," she said with a little smile. Her voice trembled a bit, and she touched the crystal. A second passed, and then she smiled brilliantly and said in a happy voice: "I'm looking forward to get to know all of you".

Yugi stared at it with wonder, not believing his own eyes. For a moment, it was as if the crystal glowed, and suddenly it was as if she had lost all of her nervousness. "Nonsense," he thought. "I'm just imagining things".

The teacher smiled again. "Very good, Miss Yamagawa. You can sit next to Mr. Mutou over there. He is also class president, so if you need help with anything, just ask him," she said while pointing him out.

Una smiled at small smile at the teacher, bowed quickly and said: "Yes, Mrs. Otai".

Yugi couldn't help but wonder about her behavior. She was shy and silent one moment, happy and energetic the next, and then back to shy and silent. What was it with this strange girl? "She's like a really, complicated puzzle. She always has been," he suddenly thought. He blinked quickly. Why was he thinking that again? It was like before, when he didn't want to tell his friends about her. And then something strange happened. Their eyes met, and suddenly he felt a quick jolt of some sort run through him. It felt like an enormous amount of power had shot through him, coming from this girl. It was sort of terrifying. It was in that same moment, her eyes widened and she tripped slightly over her own feet, earning a few giggles from the others. She blushed slightly, sat down, opened up the textbook she'd gotten and hid herself behind her golden hair. He felt pity for her. This was her first day in a new school, far away from what she was used to. Everything was probably strange and new to her. "I have to make her feel better," he thought.

He smiled aimicably at her and whispered: "Hello. Welcome to Domino High". She quickly turned her head in his direction and looked him in the eyes for a second, before she hid again.

"Thank you," she whispered back, before the teacher, Mrs. Otai, started the lesson.

?:

"Well is this boring or what," she thought, as she tried to concentrate on the lesson, though she knew it was hopeless. She already knew all they could teach you in high school, so why did she need to be there?

"Because I've never had a real chance at being social, and if I just sit at home, I'll never get any friends, besides him," she heard someone whisper in her mind.

"Still, it's better than to stay here and being the new girl," she thought again, trying to get into a discussion with the other voice. It was always fun.

"But who knows what I'll miss? What amazing things could happen here?" The other voice whispered stubbornly.

She frowned. "It's an ordinary high school, complete with fake little dolls, jocks, nerds and those in between. That's it. Is this really more exiting, than being at home, inventing stuff?" She shot back, smiling slightly.

"As inviting that sounds, no thank you. It would become boring in the end, and how fun will that be?" The other voice replied. She considered that for a moment. Then she sighed.

"I guess you're right," she thought, before she felt a little jolt of malicious pleasure coming from the other voice.

"Good. Now, would it kill you to be quiet for the rest of the hour? I really want to concentrate on this lesson, and you're sort of disturbing me," it said, before turning its attention towards the blackboard. She sighed again.

"Fine, I'll be silent, but just so you know it: I was hoping to disturb you," she thought while smirking.

The other voice didn't answer.

Una:

As soon as the lesson ended and the brake started, Una was surrounded by people. "What is it like in Denmark?" "How do you like Domino City so far?" "Where did you get the new uniform from? It's wonderful!" They all asked her tons of questions, while she just sat there, feeling nervous like hell, not saying a word, because she couldn't figure out what to answer.

"Aw, cut it out!" She heard someone snap, and they all turned silent. She looked around, trying to find the one who'd saved her, until she heard the same voice say: "What's so special about her? She's from Europe, so what? Makes that her out queen?" She felt a pang of pain rush through her, and her pendant glowed just a bit.

A girl came out from the crowd and stood right in front of her with her nose high in the sky. She was tall, skinny and pale. Her hair was platinum blonde and she wore a bright red lipstick and tons of mascara. "Has she even answered your questions so far?" She asked, her voice sounding nasal and snobby. Nobody answered her, and she smirked evilly, while Una just sat there with wide eyes. "I thought so," she said, before she bend down and stared Una straight into the eyes. "Look at you," she sneered. "Who are you to come here, and think you're so great? It's disgusting". He features twisted into something similar to a devils face. "And look at that skin! You're so pale, I mean, come on! I've been in Europe, and no one is that pale. How much makeup do you use? And how did you get that uniform? We haven't even gotten them yet, you brat".

Una was completely taken aback, and scared. "I ha, have never used makeup. Th, the principal gave me this uniform. He told me the other girls would get theirs later this day, and I, I've never said anything about being great, or better than anyone," she stammered.

The girl snorted. "Yeah, right. You're obviously a spoiled, snobbish brat. If you don't think you're better than m, I mean all of us, why haven't you answered any questions?" She asked, clearly trying to catch Una in a corner.

Her pendant glowed again, a bit more than before. "Not now. I can handle this myself," she thought to the pendant. "Because with all the questions being all asked at one time, I couldn't figure out which one to answer first," she said, wanting to get away from the nasty girl. Her pendant continued to glow, but no one noticed. Only Una did, and she knew what would happen, if she didn't get away from this girl.

The fake blonde smirked evilly again. "That is the oldest excuse in a book. I could easily handle that, you dirty, little b," she said, but was cut off by another voice.

"Leave her alone, Emi! What the heck is your problem?" A girl shouted angrily. Una silently sighed, as she felt the pendant calming down and stopped glowing.

She looked over her shoulder and saw a girl standing with the class president, Yugi, and two other boys. She sent her a thankful smile. Emi, the fake blonde, on the other hand, glared daggers at them, before she stomped out. Una sighed.

"Great. First day of school, and I get an enemy. Wonderful," she thought, before she turned her attention towards her classmates. "Please continue with your questions, but could you ask them one at a time? I only arrived last week, and haven't quite settled in yet," she said, giving them a pleasant smile.

She felt her pendant stir a bit and sighed. "Drop it! That vixen is not worth it," she thought. But the pendant still stirred and started glowing lightly red.

Yugi:

He looked at Una's small form surrounded by the others. She looked utterly uncomfortable. And then that mean girl Emi had started her usual routine, every time she saw someone was getting more attention than her.

"I can't believe Emi just did that. How egocentric can you get?" Tea mumbled angrily. Yugi sighed.

"Even though I want to, there's nothing I can do about it, since it's not a part of my duties as class president," he said. He really wanted to help Una, to stop Emi's behavior, but that was out of his hands now. If Yami had been there, then he might have done something. Scratch that, he would have done something. Yami would've challenged Emi to a shadow game, and everything would've been good the next day. Now, almost all he could do was watch. He felt like hitting himself. For some reason, he wanted to protect Una from all things evil. To see her smile and laugh. He could picture it in his head. Una standing in the sun in a white dress by a river…

…Dancing over rocks and grass, not noticing his presence. Her laughter sounding like raindrops on the surface of the water. How could she be dangerous? She had to be a spirit, the purest of things. And how he loved her…

"Yugi? Are you all right, man?" Tristan asked, waving his hand in front of his face.

Yugi blinked a few times and shook his head. "What was that?" he thought. It had been almost like a memory, but that was impossible, he had never seen Una Yamagawa before this day! And he had definitely never seen her dance by a river in a white dress. That was impossible.

"Sorry, I just zoned off. It was a long lesson, and religion isn't the most exiting lesson to have," he said.

"I actually found it quite interesting," he suddenly heard a light, but low voice say behind him. It gave him a shock, and he turned around quickly.

Una stood behind him, looking at Tea. She smiled nervously and rubbed her pendant. She swallowed once, and then bowed. "Thank you so much for saying something to that mean girl. I had no clue, what to do," she said, before she looked up and smiled at her.

Tea smiled back. "No problem. I can't stand that Emi Koroki. She's always like that when someone's getting more attention than her. Egoistic, little witch," she replied, mumbling the last part.

Una chuckled lightly at that comment. "Yes, she is, isn't she? I know her types are always out there, but I've never really met someone like her," she said. "Are there others like her in this sort of place?" She then asked, tilting her head to the side.

Yugi looked at her confused. How could someone never have met Emi's type? It was Tristan who answered her. "Well, I would say there's at least one mean girl in every year. Why do you ask? Weren't there any in your old class?"

Una shook her head. "No, because I've always been home schooled," she said, sounding a bit sad.

"That sounds lonely," Tea said. Una just shrugged. "It's okay. It meant I didn't leave many friends behind, so maybe it was for the better," she said.

Yugi felt a pang of pain, as she said that. "Never say that," he suddenly said, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Friends are one of the greatest gifts in the world. I don't know what I would do without anyone of them," he said, pointing at his three best friends, suddenly remembering she didn't know who they were. "That is Joey Wheeler, Tea Gardner and Tristan Taylor, by the way," he said quickly.

She smiled, first at them, then at him. "And you are Yugi Mutou, the class president. Never forget to present yourself properly, that's what my godfather told me," she said. He felt himself blush for a second, making her chuckle again. She looked at Tea, Tristan and Joey with a pleasant expression. "I'm pleased to meet all of you. I hope you'll help me understand everything I don't understand," she said, earning her excited replies from all of them.

When the break ended after a nice chat with Una, he found himself looking at the silent girl thinking: "Well, isn't she the sweetest person to ever walk this planet?"
