This is the seventh chapter! I hope you like it!

Recap: "Nice try," I say, "You know I don't let people come to my house."

"How do you know I know that?" he asks.

"Because even though you're in the puzzle, you still see what goes on!" I say.

"True," he says.

"Good night Yami," I say.

"Good night Femi," he says. I smile before I lean in and kiss his cheek. Then walk away, leaving a shocked Yami behind. Back to my lonely house.


Well the day of the festival came. The day before everyone worked into the night, and managed to rebuild the carnival game just in time! Well, no one would let me work. Saying my leg plus the iron plate incident plus me sneaking out (it was Yami's fault!) equals me not helping. I'm currently with Anzu watching poor Jounouchi (or should I say blue-beard?)

"That looks painful for Jounouchi," Anzu comments.

"Yeah," I agree, "Isn't it great?"

So our carnival was a huge success!


Ch.7: The true face.


Femi's P.O.V,

It's been a week since the carnival. I'm happy to say: I NO LONGER NEED CRUTCHES! The doctors said that my leg healed faster than a normal person. I didn't know whether to be happy about not having crutches, or mad because the doctor basically called me strange. Well, this week I've been talking to Honda a lot. I also talked to my mom. Well, currently I'm walking with Yugi. You know, he got me to sing for him and gramps? Well, anyway, school just let out. People are saying bye to friends while I walk with Yugi. I'm going to his house to play some games.

"Hey, Yugi, Femi!" Jounouchi says as he walks towards us with Honda on his tail.

"Ah, Jounouchi-kun, going home?" Yugi asks.

"Not really!" he says with a smirk. I notice Yugi looking uncomfortable. I look at Honda and give him a slight glare. Don't get me wrong, he's my friend, but Yugi's my best friend. I don't like how he's mean to him.

"In fact, Yugi, Femi," Jounouchi starts, "We need your help!"

"Our help?" I ask.

"Hey Jounouchi!" Honda raises his voice slightly, "You mean Yugi and Femi are the ones you think can help!?"

"Yeah," Jounouchi answers.

"You're kidding!" Honda yells blushing, "No way not from this guy! Femi's okay, but not Yugi!"

"Hey, hey," Jounouchi says, "You're the one who asked me for advice!" Honda needs our help? I glance at Yugi and I can tell he's thinking the same thing.

"Yugi, Femi, I need to talk to you! But everything I say is a total secret!" Honda says, "Tell anyone, Yugi, and I'll beat you to a pulp regularly. I'd do the same to you, Femi, but you're scary." HOW AM I SCARY!? "Honda!" Jounouchi yells, "That won't be necessary with Yugi! I guarantee! Yugi and Femi can keep a secret! Just between the four of us."

"Yeah, I won't tell anyone!" Yugi promises.

"Neither will I," I say.

"Y' see Honda is suffering from love sickness!" Jounouchi says. Yugi and I glance at each other.

"AND NOW YOU'LL START LAUGHING! YOU BRAT!" Honda screams, "I'LL KILL YOU!"

"I-I'm not laughing!" Yugi stutters.

"No, but I am," I say laughing.

"The girl's in our class, Nosaka Miho!" Jounouchi says, "You know her, Yugi. She's on the library committee. She's very quiet, but you can tell her by the yellow ribbon she always wears!"

"I know her," I say, "Her friends call her 'Ribbon-chan'!"

"Lovely and tidy Ribbon-chan," Honda says blushing. I giggle.

"Well, Honda's about as bright as a box of hair, and can't think of anything!" Jounouchi says, "So, he needs your help. Can you get the girl's attention for him? Like, maybe something from your house, that weird shop!"

"Yeah, maybe the game shop," Yugi says.

"A game shop?" Honda asks, "Shut up!" I punch him in the stomach, and he hits the floor groaning.

"Then, we'll go to Yugi's place!" I say like I didn't just hit Honda.


"Ha!" gramps exclaims, "I've got just the thing!" We explained how Honda was in love.

"Really, grandpa?" Yugi asks.

"I used it to get your grandmother, back in the old days!" Grandpa says as he grabs a box off the top shelf.

"Hey," Honda says to Jounouchi, "Is this okay?"

"I dunno ask Femi," Jounouchi says.

"I'm not in this," I say before he asks.

"Here!" gramps gives Honda a box, "It's a blank jigsaw puzzle! You write down your thoughts, and give it to her all broken up! As she joins the pieces one-by-one, your message will float to the surface! It's very romantic!" Jounouchi starts laughing hard.

"Honda, it's not your style!" he says laughing.

"It's fine," Honda says.

"Huh!?" Jounouchi and I say.

"No! It's perfect!" Honda says, "Yes! This is what I need! Something romantic…"

"I don't think it's romantic," I say. They all turn to me. "My idea of a romantic confession is at midnight after a long walk in a cemetery, or in a tomb at the Valley of Kings." They look at me with 'WTF!?' faces. I shrug, but I notice Yugi's puzzle shining a little.

"I-I'll take it, mister!" Honda hands money to gramps.

"Glad you like it!" gramps says.

"B-but wait a sec," Honda says, "What do I write? I can't write a love letter. What do I do!?" he turns and looks at Yugi, "Yugi, you'll write it!"

"What!?" Yugi asks.

"Here! It's hot!" Honda takes Yugi's hand and puts it on his heart, "My chest is filled with all these burning thoughts! I can't write them down! It's that simple!"

"I don't get it!" Yugi says.

"Therefore, I will give this puzzle to Ribbon-chan," Honda says, "But, LET ME DOWN, AND I'LL KILL YOU, YUGI!"

"Honda, you're being crazy!" Jounouchi and I yell at the same time.


I went home as Yugi tried to write a love letter. As soon as I get home, my phone rings.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey, baby girl," My mom answers.

"Mom?" I ask, "Why are you calling?"

"I have wonderful news," she says, "I'll be there next week! The ice-skating contest is over. I won first prize!"

"Congrats!" I say, "Hurry home! I miss you guys!"

"I miss you too," she says, "I got to go, I love you, see you soon."

"I love you too," I say, "Bye." I hang up. I smile really big. They'll be here soon. I frown. The gang can't meet them. I love them, but they'll do what everyone else does. Treat me different, and I don't want that from them. I walk upstairs and lay in my bed. I close my eyes. I don't want them to treat me different.


We meet in the classroom.

"Hey, Yugi!" Honda says, "You wrote down all my loving feelings, right?"

"Yeah," Yugi says.

"Honda, I'm putting the present into Ribbon-chan's desk!" Jounouchi says.

"It's in!" I say as Jounouchi puts it in the desk.

"Yay!" Yugi says.

DING DONG!

"The class bell," I say as Yugi and I walk to our desks, and Jounouchi follows us.

"Hey, Yugi, Femi!" Jounouchi says to us, "It looks like Ribbon-chan still hasn't found the present!"

"Yeah," we agree.

"Look, Honda is all fidgety, and his face is bright red!" Jounouchi says, "What a riot."

"Hey did you get your homework done?" I ask.

"About the Sahara desert?" Yugi asks.

"Yeah," I say, "You know, I never understood why they called it Sahara desert."

"Why?" Jounouchi asks.

"Sahara means desert," I say.

"Oh," Jounouchi says.

"Here comes the teacher," I say. Jounouchi goes back to his seat. Three minutes later the teacher walks in.

"Well, everyone!" Chouno-sensei says, "Before you open your textbooks, I'd like you to empty your bags and desks onto your desktops! This is an inspection!"

"Huh!?" Yugi asks.

"What!?" Jounouchi says.

"This is not gonna end well," I mutter. I see Miho pick up the present. The teacher walks over to Miho.

"What's this, Nosaka-san?" she asks.

"I don't know," Miho answers, "I found it in my desk, Ma'am." Chouno-sensei takes the present takes up to her desk and opens it.

"Oh," Chouno-sensei, "It's a jigsaw puzzle! Interesting, I think the pieces spell out something! How exciting!" She puts most of the pieces together, "Well, well, 'my dear, lovely Ribbon-chan, your yellow ribbon…' How childish!" I glare at her. "The question is… who gave this to her?" Chouno-sensei continues, "We have rules about students involved in relationships. This puzzle was obviously meant to start one of those relationships! Now, will the person who wrote this puzzle please show himself? If you do so now, I'll be tolerant!"

"I wrote it!" Yugi says standing up.

"Nope! I put the puzzle in her desk, Ma'am!" Jounouchi says standing. Well, they aren't lying.

"Thanks, but no thanks, guys!" Honda says standing up, "My loving feelings are written on that puzzle!"

"How…" Chouno-sensei, "This couldn't be the work of three people!" She's right. We all four did it. "The offender has to be one person! Someone here is lying!"

"Ma'am," I say standing up, "We aren't lying. We all did it!"

"Then you won't mind if I complete the puzzle!" she says, "When the last four pieces are added, I'm sure the sender's name will be revealed!" She puts in three pieces. I turn and see Yami. That's when I realize something.

"Wait!" I say everyone looks at me, "Since you're my teacher, I'll give you a change. Don't finish that puzzle."

"Why?" she says holding the last piece. I glare.

"How dare you harm the hearts of my friends!" I say, "Everyone cherishes a secret in their heart! That puzzle contains Yugi and my thoughts! Now, the puzzle has changed into a shadow game! If you put the piece in, you will lose, and in a shadow game the loser is punished." She laughs and puts the last piece in. "I warned you."

"I know the name!" her face cracks in puzzle pieces, "The expelled student's name is…" The pieces fall. People yell about her face. So he peeled away the makeup. Yuck!

"That's nasty," I whisper to Yami. He winks at me then turns back to Yugi.

"C-c-classes are over for today!" she yells running out, "This is just between you and me! Tell anyone and I'll kill you!" Then she was gone.

"Did you know that would happen?" Jounouchi asks me.

"No," I say, "I knew something would happen, but not that."


After that, Honda asked Ribbon-chan out personally, and was magnificently rejected.

"Yugi, Femi, Jounouchi," Honda says whipping tears.

"It's okay," Jounouchi says, "Let's go get a burger!"

But something sad started between Jounouchi, Honda, Yugi, and I, I'm certain of it!

This is the end of this chapter! I hope you like it! Please
