A boy and a girl were walking down a hall in Domino Highschool. They have known eachother for years and are new to Domino City. In fact, they had never been to a school in their lives. Public or private.

They boy had grey eyes, pale skin, and short black hair styled with limp spikes. He was wearing a black jacket with grey stripes on the left sleeve, a white T-shirt, black jenes with purple buckles on the outer sides, and black Converses. He had two silver piercings in each ear and a silver ring on his right ring finger. The ring had an odd shape that, when layed flat, looked like some sort of staff.

The girl had pale skin, long, blonde hair held in a low pony tail, and green eyes. She was wearing a black, sleeveless shirt with purple penstripes, black gloves without fingers except on the index and pinky fingers, shiny, black, dress shoes, black stockings that stop two inches above the knee with purple penstirpes, and a black skirt with purple penstripes and a red frill around the bottom that stops three inches above the knee. Both of her ears were pierced and she was wearing a black chocker necklace.

The boy walked a foot or so behind the girl and to her right with long, slow steps. The girl's stride was shorter but quicker and she looked around her curiously.

"So this is a school, huh?" she said to the boy who continued to walk in silence. His silence didn't bother her, though; she was use to it. "Seems boring enought. Here's the room," she said as they stopped at a classroom door. A-1 was written on a sign above the door.

The girl opened the door. "Excuse us," she said as she walked in. She glanced around before heading over to the teacher and handing him a slip of paper. Behind her, the boy closed the door silently before taking his place behind and to the right of her.

"New students, huh?" said the teacher as he took the paper. He motioned to the class adn said, "Tell us a bit about yourselves."

The girl turned to the class with an I'm-better-than-you smile and said, "I'm Astrix Zmatek, but you can call me Boss. This is my adopted brother, Otrok ZMatek, but I call him Shadow. We like games." She looked at the teacher and said, "That enough infor, Sensei?"

He nodded and waved them to two empty seats at the back of the class. They moved towards the seats. Boss took the seat direcly behind the brown-eyed, albino boy. Shadow sat directly behind her. To his left was the boy with the golden pyramid necklace.

"You two came at a perfect time. We finished a lesson and it is now time for lunch," said the teacher. As if on cure, the bell let out a loud ring and the teacher and a few students left to go outside.

Boss tapped the white-haired boy's shoulder, and, once she had gained his attention, asked, "No offense intended, but are you an albino?"

The boy nodded and said, "Yes. My name is Ryou Bakura, but everyone just calls me Bakura."

Boss smiled and said, "Hello, Bakura. I'm Astrix, but I usually go by Boss."

"Why is that?" he asked curiously.

"Dunno. Shadow gave me the name and it just stuck," she replied with a glance over her shoulder at her adopted brother. The blonde boy walked up with the short one by his side and the brown haired boy and girl behind them.

"Hey," said the blonde with a goofy grin, "I'm Joey Wheeler."

"Hello, Joey," said Boss.

"I'm Tristan Taylor!" said the brown haired boy as he pushed Joey out of the way.

Boss laughed as Joey yelled at him and said, "Nice to meet you, Tristan."

Tristan smiled and began to gloat that Boss was happy to meet him. Joey and Tristan got into an argument and Boss couldn't hold back a smile.

"I'm Tèa Gardner," said the girl holding out her hand.

"Boss shook her hand and said, "Hello, Tèa. You have a beautiful name."

Tèa smiled, "Thank you. You'rs is interesting. I've nevered heard the name Astrex before."

"It's Astrix," said Boss, "and I agree I have no idea where it came from so i go by Boss. I know that my adoptive family name, Zmatek, means chaos though. It's Czech."

"Czech, huh? Never heard of that," replied Tèa.

"I have no idea where it's spoken. My adoptive father told me the meaning."

"Ah."

Just then, the little guy walked up with Bakura and the others. Bakura and him had to break up Joey and Tristan's fight before it got out of hand.

"Hi there," said the short boy. "I'm Yugi Moto." He held out his hand.

Boss said, "Hello, Yugi," and took his hand. Both of them froze instantly before letting go quickly. Boss looked over at Shadow as his hand found her shoulder. He looked concerned for a few seconds then he released her and went back to watching the group of students emotionlessly.

Yugi backed up a bit and stared at the two new students in confusion.

"What's up, Yugi?" asked Joey. All of his friends were looking at him with concern and curiosity.

"Nothing," replied Yugi without looking at them. They didn't buy it, but they could hold off their questions till after school, when "the Boss and her Shadow" weren't around.
