The clock read 12:30 P.M., signaling lunch time. Yugi walked out of the lunch line with a red tray in his hands. The tray consisted of a small carton of chocolate milk, a red apple, large slice of pizza, rice balls, jell-o, carrots, and a hand full of fish sticks.

Odd choice of meal, don't you think, Yami asked, looking over Yugi's shoulder at his tray full of food.

No, not really, Yugi replied, looking up at Yami. I'm just really hungry today.

Yami chuckled as Yugi headed over to a table towards the far right corner that all of his friends were sitting at. Their usual eating spot. As soon as he got there, he sat down in his usual spot next to Joey. Tristan sat to Joey's right. Tea across from Joey. And Bakura to Tea's left; across from Tristan. (That's just a tad bit confusing, isn't it? lol.) Joey looked over at Yugi, his eyes landing on his tray. When he saw all the contents, he made a face. "Odd choice of food, don't cha think?"

How ironic. Yugi couldn't help but chuckle. "That's almost exactly what the other me said!"

"Did he? Wow," Joey puffed out his chest as if he had the world's biggest muscles. "I have accomplished something!"

Tristan turned around and hit Joey on the head with his fork. "Yea right. The only thing you can accomplish is blinking."

Ouch. Mega burn! Everyone at their table burst out laughing. Joey's chest became deflated as he gritted his teeth and his face grew red from anger. "Oh Yea?! You wanna go, Unicorn head?!"

Tristan head butted Joey in the forehead. Joey didn't move, holding Tristan's head with his own as Tristan shouted, "What did you just call me?!"

Both knuckleheads glared at each other. Bakura, Yugi, and Tea sweat dropped as they all exchanged looks. "Not again..."

"OUCH," Both Joey and Tristan shouted as something smacked them both on the head, hard. Yugi looked up behind him and saw Ayumi standing there, her right fist clenched. It became obvious that it had been her who had smacked Joey and Tristan on their head's. He also saw Shara standing next to her. The Brown head had two knapsacks in her right hand and she was looking up at Ayumi.

"Will the two of you quit it," Ayumi took a seat next to Yugi. "If you two want to fight about something, let it be a good reason to get expelled." She smiled. "After all, a stupid reason will only hurt your reputation."

Joey glared at Ayumi. "You hit like you have a metal baseball bat glued to your hand." Ayumi grinned evilly at Joey, making him shrink in his seat. He knew that smile all too well. As did Tristan. Better make a good cover up. And fast. "Uh..." Joey smiled sheepishly at Ayumi. "It was meant as a complement in all ways possible!"

Ayumi rolled her eyes. "I know." She reached over Yugi and flicked Joey on the nose. "Just messing with ya, J-Z."

Yugi looked back over at Shara as she made her way around the lunch table and took a seat across from Yugi. She handed Ayumi one knapsack and she kept the other one. And Yugi couldn't help but feel lucky. He was sitting next to the two new really good looking girls. How lucky can you get? He watched her unwrap her lunch, revealing perfectly packed sliced sushi and three rice balls. The sushi smelled of a couple of spices and sauce. And the rice balls were perfectly shaped. They looked incredibly delicious. Yugi looked down at his tray of food, only to realize that he had already eaten all of it.

"Dang Yugi," Joey ruffled Yugi's hair. "Ya think ya had enough to eat today?"

Yugi shook his head no. He was still hungry for some odd reason. He then continued to stare at Shara's food. Shara felt someone staring at her. She looked up, only to catch Yugi staring hungrily at her food. She laughed, smiling sweetly at him. "W-Would you like t-to try some of my food, Yugi?" A bold move on Shara's part.

Yugi looked up sharply at Shara, his cheeks turning red when he realized that he had been caught. He nodded a quick yes, taking a piece of sushi from Shara's out stretched hand. "Thank you..."

He took a tiny bite of the sushi...

And thought it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life!

He then gobbled the rest of the sushi down in one bite. He looked back at Shara, his purple eyes begging for more of that delicious sushi. Shara felt happy as Yugi's eyes slowly turned into puppy eyes. "Can I...uh...please have some more..."

Shara was about to tell him sorry when Ayumi slid her box of food to Yugi. Yugi looked at it, the exact same thing as Shara's lunch. Ayumi hadn't touched it at all. "Here, have mine. I'm not hungry." Yugi at first was reluctant to take it, but his huger overshadowed his reasoning. So he thankfully took her food and began to feast down on it.

After everyone had half way finished their food, Tea looked over at Shara's bow, curious to know more about it. "Hey, Shara. What is that bow on your head?"

Everyone, but Ayumi, looked over at Shara with sparked curiosity. Shara's amber eyes darted from one person to another before she said, "I-It's called 'The Millennium Bow'. No one knows t-that it existed, because it was kept a secret from t-the world." She gently touched her bow. "It has the power t-to read emotions."

Bakura smiled at Shara. "That's cool!" He then turned to Ayumi. Little did he know was that his evil self was also listening now. "And what about yours, Ayumi?"

The girl looked taken aback at Bakura's question. She placed her right hand on the eye, hiding her eyes in her hair. "This is called the 'Millennium Choker'." She bit her lower lip for a second. "It has the power to bring out the true colors of a person. And it can locate any other Millennium Item, if you focus on that item though." She was silent for a second. "The previous owner was a queen."

Everyone gasped, looking at one another. Yugi could feel Yami begin to stir inside of his mind. "Who gave it to you?" Tristan asked boldly.

Ayumi wiped her eyes with the back of her hands. "I really don't want to talk about it."

Yugi felt really bad for Ayumi. From what he could tell, the person who gave it to her must have been very dear to her. He also figured that that person must not be part of the living. He looked over at Shara as she reached across the table and grabbed Ayumi's hand. "It's okay, Ayumi," She looked at the others. "The person who g-gave it t-to her is kind of a touchy subject." Shara wasn't mad or anything, she was just informing her new friends.

A strange force possessed Yugi, for he reached over and grabbed Ayumi's shoulder in comfort. "It's okay, Ayu-"

He never got to finish. Cause right then, the Millennium Puzzle began to glow brightly. Yugi went through a growth spurt, his eyes went to a different shape and color, and other different changes. For now, may I now present, Yami Yugi! The confused spirit blinked. "What am I doing out here?" He looked down at his left hand, then at the puzzle. "Yugi! This isn't a duel! Why am I out here?!" He whispered angrily at the puzzle.

I don't know, Yugi answered honestly. I didn't do this. I don't know how this happened!

Yami sighed, about to say something back when he felt a couple pairs of eyes on him. He looked up at everyone, slightly chuckling sheepishly.

"Other Yugi," Joey asked as he poked Yami on his head.

Yami gave Joey a look, but nodded. Tea could feel her heart start to pound. Yami then felt that his right was on something. He looked over and saw that his right hand was on a bewildered/confused Ayumi's shoulder. Yami quickly took his hand back. "Sorry."

"You're not Yugi," Ayumi leaned a little closer to Yami. She squint her eyes to get a better look at him. "Who are you?"

Yami sighed. "I wish I knew," he answered truthfully. He had a hint of sadness hidden in his voice. Ayumi tilted her head to the side at his answer. Yami quickly shook his head, looking at her with curiosity. "How is it that you can tell me from Yugi so quickly?" The question just rolled off his tongue. He honestly didn't know why he just asked that. That wasn't what he wanted to ask her at all.

"Well...," Ayumi looked Yami up and down with her green eyes. "For starters, your eyes are a different shape. Their also crimson, not purple," Yami was too late to stop his hand from reaching up to his eyes and touching them. Ayumi gently tugged on one of his bangs. "Also, you have more golden streaks in your hair," She rubbed it in between her fingers. "Their a lot longer and straighter," Yami, for some unknown reason, didn't stop Ayumi from touching him. She then looked up to look into his eyes. "And you're obviously a lot taller than Yugi."

You couldn't help but laugh at that. Yami chuckled slightly under his breath. It's not my fault I'm short, Yugi muttered inside Yami's head. He then felt his hikari curl into a ball, sulking about his height. The spirit shook his head slightly.

"This may be a bit weird, coming from a girl, but," Ayumi tapped one of Yami's crossed arms. "You're more...built...uh...muscular," Yami had to agree with her, it was a bit weird to hear that from a girl. But the sad part about that, she was right. "And lastly," Ayumi stared at Yami. "Your voice...it's more deeper...more characteristic...confident. "

The spirit was beside himself. She was good, really good. Even he had to admit that. "Impressive," Yami looked down into her light green eyes. Her eyes, for some reason, made him want to stare longer. "And... do I get to know the names of Yugi's new friends?"

Ayumi nodded. "Of course. I am Ayumi Nomura," She pointed her right index finger at Shara. Yami then caught a glimpse of a huge band aid wrapped around her whole finger. What in the world? "And this is Shara Nomura."

Shara, out of habit, flushed bright red and began to twiddle her index fingers in front of her face. "Uh...um... I-I...uh...," Why couldn't she say anything? She mentally cursed herself for her shyness.

Yami felt bad for her, so he nodded and smiled at them. "It's nice the meet you both." Shara mentally thanked him.

Now it was Ayumi's turn. "And do I get to know the name of the "Other Yugi" who is clearly not Yugi." The she quoted 'Other Yugi' with her fingers.

Yami couldn't help but smile at Ayumi. "I am called by many things. 'Spirit,' 'Other Yugi', 'Other Me', 'Pharaoh'..." He looked Ayumi dead in the eyes. "But you may call me 'Yami'..."

"Yami," Ayumi repeated. She looked away from his eyes. "What does that mean? I'm...uh..." Hold the phone. Was Ayumi at a lose for words?!

"What Ayumi means," Shara interjected, saving Ayumi just in time. "Is t-that she doesn't know what 'Yami' means," Shara had found a little bit of her courage back. "She's still learning J-Japanese."

That explains it. Yami nodded in understanding. "I see," He looked down at Ayumi. "It means 'Dark'."

The girl grunted her thanks. "Normally, I don't accept help from people," In the background, Joey and Tristan nodded. She locked eye contact with him. "But I think I can make an exception this jednou-." She quickly clamped her mouth shut with both her hands.

The two goofballs in the background looked at each other. One second passed. Three seconds passed. Then, abruptly, the duo burst into fits of laughter. "A-Ace," Joey clutched his stomach with his left hand and pointed at Ayumi with his other. "You don't know how to say one?!" He then leaned against Tristan for support.

Ayumi glared at the two. Then, she calmly turned to Tea and asked. "May I borrow your tray?" What Tea was afraid of was a glint in Ayumi's eyes when she asked that question. Tea then reluctantly handed Ayumi her red tray. Ayumi took it, and chucked it like a Frisbee at Joey and Tristan! It hit both of them dead on in their foreheads. The tray made aloud thwack sound, followed by a crack. The tray had split in half. Both of them stopped laughing and switched to clutching their heads just as they both fell out of their chairs. They both got back up and looked over at Ayumi, only to cringe in fear when they saw a evil glint in her eye as she glared back at them.

"We're sorry," Both of them shouted. They knew that glint, having known her from the gang and juvie.

Before Ayumi could reply, Shara cried out. Almost immediately, Ayumi turned her whole attention to Shara. "What's wrong-" What she saw made her want to strangle something. She saw Shara covered in ranch dressing, salad, and milk. And, of all the students in the school it could have possibly been to spill all that on poor Shara, it just had to be Isamu.

And Isamu looked like a complete wreck.

She had bandages wrapped all around her stomach, where Ayumi had dropped kicked her earlier that day. She had a fist sized black bruise on her face where she was punched. Her hair was messy and tangled, her neck was red and blue. All in all, she was completely beaten up.

Isamu growled, about to yell at who ever it was she ran into to watch where they were going, when her eyes widen in terror. It had to be her. The one who had been the cause of her getting beat up in the first place. Isamu's heart raced when she realized that Ayumi must be somewhere near by. She was a field mouse compared to a fox. A fox with attitude and teeth. (And killer punches).

Ayumi...was...pissed...

"YOU," Ayumi spat menacingly. "How dare you do this to Shara!" A scary aura was coming off of Ayumi's body. "You had your warning..." Isamu was at a lose for words. She wanted to desperately tell Ayumi that it was an accident (Which it was), but no words would come out of her mouth. Just then, Fate decided to play against Isamu once again. For now, the whole lunchroom had burst out in roars of laughter. And the horror of it all: They were all laughing at Shara. Yami could feel Yugi starting to get scared. Abruptly, Ayumi turned to Yami. "To make this a tad bit more interesting," She smiled evilly at him. "Let's make this a challenge."

Boy, did she have his attention now. "Alright," He just couldn't pass up a challenge. "What is your challenge?"

Ayumi reached over to his tray, grabbed the uneaten apple, and began to toss it up and down in her right hand. "Just a little food fight, that's all. Who ever hits the most student's before the bell rings, wins. If I win," She thought about it for a second. "You and Yugi, and the others if they want, have to come over to mine and Shara's house for Thanksgiving. If you win...you get to choose what you want in return." Yami nodded, listening very carefully. "So, what do ya say? You in?" The spirit nodded. Ayumi also followed suit in nodding. She then turned to Isamu. "And I'm starting with you! Before Isamu could say 'Oh Crap' , Ayumi chucked the apple at Isamu, hitting her dead in her right eye. The cheerleader cried out, falling backwards into a couple of students. Ayumi jumped up onto her chair as she screamed at the top of her lungs, "FOOD FIGHT!!!!!"

All the students in the cafeteria cried out as they all began to throw food in all different directions. Tea, Bakura, and Shara retreated to under the table, Joey and Tristan were shoving food at each other, and Yami and Ayumi were in the midst of the battle.

Yami threw soy sauce at someone, ducking as they tried to throw a slice of pizza at him. He stuck his foot out, tripping a girl and causing her to land in a pile of hamburgers. He did a summer Sault when someone tried to throw sushi at him. He got back to his feet and back flipped to dodge flying jell-o and sliced peaches.

Ayumi had a handful of mashed potatoes in her right hand. She dodged a flying cheese stick, side stepped a green apple, and hopped over taco meat. She back flipped to miss being hit by a deformed rice ball. She stood as if she were at a pitching mound, and pitched the handful of mashed potatoes at some poor kid's face.

At one point, Yami and Ayumi ended up back to back right smack dab in the middle of the battle. Yami looked back down at her and smiled. Ayumi looked up and smiled back. This was a start of a new friendship for them.

The whole food fight lasted until the teachers intervened, grabbing students by the handful who were caught throwing food. Just as the teachers were nearing Yami and Ayumi, both of them looked at each other, smiled, and took off running. They stopped when they caught up to the others, which was right outside the cafeteria. Tea and Bakura were helping Shara get all of the food off of her new uniform while Joey and Tristan were gloating on how they were the "kings" of the food fight. (Even though they were covered in food the worst.) Ayumi looked down at her uniform, seeing a giant red stain on her shirt. "Oh well. I don't like pink anyways." She turned to Yami. "I got 90 students, you?"

"98," Yami smiled down at Ayumi. He then pulled out a piece of Mac and cheese out from the black side of Ayumi's hair. Ayumi nodded as she reached up and pulled a piece of tomato out of one of his long bangs. "And..." Yami smiled down at her. "I think Thanksgiving at your place will be just fine."

Ayumi nodded. "Alright," The bell rang, signaling 6th period. Ayumi turned around, grabbed Shara, and walked off down the hall. "See you then," She called over her shoulder, disappearing around the corner in a twirl of red and black hair.
