One: The New Kids in Class

(Bakura's PoV)

I groaned and reached up onto my nightstand and hit the snooze button. Infernal alarm clock. Worst. Christmas present. Ever. Damn Pharaoh...thinks I can't get up on my own...

"I got it for you because starting next month, we're going to be attending Domino High with Yugi and the others, seeing as how we now have bodies of our own."

"Why the hell is that?"

"Well..."

Damn brats! I couldn't see why they had to tell that passer-by the pharaoh and i were their TWINS! Why couldnt they tell her we were their OLDER brothers, if we HAD to be "related"?

(Ryou's PoV)

I sighed as Bakura came trudging down the stairs.

"I DID tell you not to stay up that late watching that Resident Evil marathon, you know..." I mumbled. This caused my Yami to give me one of his famous death-glares. I cringed. If looks could kill...

"Shut up. It's your damn fault, anyway. If YOU hadn't told that girl that the accursed Pharaoh and I were yours and the runt's TWINS, then I wouldn't have to get up this early, in the first place." he snapped. I sighed again and went back to cooking breakfast.

"Bakura, I know you're not much of a morning person, but you don't have to take it out on me. By the way, I ought to warn you that two new students are transfering here from America. PLEASE try to be nice to them. Or ignore them if they talk to you, at the very least."

(Bakura's PoV)

I glared at Ryou.

"Don't lecture me as if im a child. I'm perfectly capable of "behaving", as you so often put it. It's just a matter of if I WANT to. Just because I choose NOT to act "civilly" doesn't mean I'm incapable of doing so." I growled.

Later, At School...

(Yami's PoV)

As the two girls entered the room, I couldn't help but stiffen. The younger sister had long rose pink hair, sappire blue eyes, and pale skin. She noticed me staring at her and turned, but rather than confront me, she merely smiled, nodded, and sat in the vacant desk next to Yugi. The older sister also had pale skin, but her hair was shorter and navy blue, and her eyes were dark violet. She also nodded at me in aknowledgement and sat behind me. The only difference was, she actually spoke to me.

"Hi, I'm Lily McAlister."

"Yami." I said, shaking her hand.

"Hey, I just noticed something." I blinked.

"What?" I asked. she smiled.

"You look like the Pharaoh Atem...well, at least you look like how he's portrayed in our History text books." she said. I stiffened again. Hopefully, she wouldn't realize that it was more than that.

"Well, I get that a lot." I said. Looking down, I cought a glimpse of her Duel Monsters deck.

"You duel?" Lily looked up at me.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Sometimes." she said.

(Reg PoV)

Yami smirked.

"You interested in dueling after school?" he asked. Lily nodded.

"Sure. It'd give me a chance to break in my new duel disk." she said. A voice on the other side of her scoffed.

"Please. You'd be wasting your time. He'd duel circles all over you. You're weak." Lily smirked at the former thief king.

"Bakura, right? Well if you think you're so tough, how about you and me duel NOW, before class. Then we'll see who's weak." she said.

"Challenge accepted."

A/N: First day and already on edge! In the next chapter, Bakura and Lily are gonna duel it out! So, who do you think is going to win?
