Disclaimer: Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, never have, never will

Here it is, the first chapter for the year of 2009! I would like to thank you all for your reviews and for taking the time to read this story. It's certainly come a long way since the very first chapter. As always, read and enjoy.

*Art*

Duke squealed silently as he entered the class, for he saw that his hero, Pegasus, was his art teacher.

"Hello Devlin-Boy," Pegasus greeted, wearing and eye-patch.

"Hello—why are you wearing that?" he asked.

"It's a long story. Now, go to your seat, seeing how you're twenty minutes late."

Duke obeyed and seated himself to a corner in the back. He bent over to get his supplies out of his backpack. He jumped as he sat back up, for every girl in the room had dragged their desks beside his all in the past ten seconds. They gazed at him, drooling, as if they were in some kind of trance.

"Um, hi girls," he greeted nervously. They continued to stare at him.

Suddenly, Serenity walked into the room. She saw Duke and smiled.

"Hi again Duke--" she began to greet, only to have all the girls hiss at her as she attempted to approach him. She quickly backed away.

"Uh, okay then. I'm going to sit up by the teacher." Serenity looked at Pegasus and frowned, "maybe I shouldn't even be here."

*P.E."

Tristan had used to Millennium Rod to hypnotize the coach.

"Alright students," the zombie coach announced, "we'll be playing dodge ball—with bricks. It will be everyone vs. jocks, and the jocks can't have balls. Begin!"

The coach blew on the whistle. Kids began throwing bricks and the jocks as they screamed. Tristan sat on the benches laughing. Miho walked into the gym looking very confused. She screamed as a brick nearly hit her.

"Miho!" Tristan cheered, "come sit over here!"

"Tristan?" she asked as she ran over to him, "what's going on? Why are people throwing bricks? And what are those?"

She pointed to the Millennium Rod, Necklace, Ring, and Eye, which were all sitting in Tristan's lap.

"These are magical items made of pure gold," Tristan said with a grin, "if you date me, I'll give you the necklace."

"I-I don't know," Miho stuttered, "normally I like jewelry, but…"

"It lets you see into the future," Tristan persuaded.

"Hey, isn't that Ryou's Ring?" Miho asked, pointing to the Millennium Ring.

"Uh…no," Tristan lied. Miho backed away with a look of horror.

"You-you stole it! You stole those items!" she shrieked, "you're a thief!"

"Miho," Tristan tried to assure calmly, "please, I would never do anything so low."

"I'm sorry," Miho said, putting her backpack back on, "but I'm going to tell Yugi!"

Tristan bowed his head and closed his eyes, then muttered, "I'm afraid I can't let you do that." He held up the Rod and pointed it at Miho. Her eyes and expression became blank as the Eye of Horus appeared on her forehead.

"Now my love," Tristan asked, "would you like to watch the game?"

"Yes master," Miho replied.

*Main Office*

Mai walked out of the restroom and stared into the lobby with confusion. Sitting tied up in a chair by the Guidance office was Kaiba.

"Well, well," Mai commented, "I never thought I'd see the day."

"Mai!?" Kaiba asked, "how did you ever get a job here? Are you dating the principal?"

"Don't be sick!" Mai snapped, "I happened to have a very good resume! And for your information, I'm dating the district supervisor!"

"Ohhh," Kaiba snarled sarcastically, "my mistake!"

"Mr. Kaiba," the counselor said as she opened the door, "please come in."

"I can't!" Kaiba growled, "Rebecca tied me to this chair!"

"Well after the way you treated her I don't blame her!" the counselor snapped back as she untied him. Kaiba stood up and reluctantly followed her into her office.

*Arcade*

Noah and the doctors pushed their way into the building through a giant crowd.

"Alright!" Noah yelled, "where's the sign up sheet!?"

"There's no sign up sheet man," some guy said from behind him, "you just go over to the giant TV and pick your character. But make sure you get a good one, cuz you'll have to use them for the whole tournament."

"I can't believe they made this into a tournament," Noah grumbled as he walked towards the front of the building, "It's almost as lame as Duel Monsters!"

"I sure hope this works," one of the doctors commented, "that new Mortal Combat Universe is hard."

"Oh come on," Noah insisted, "I spent the last six years of my life in a computer playing online games. Besides, how hard can this be?"

Noah looked up at the TV screen and saw a selection of 10,000 characters. His eyes widened as he began to scream.

*Home Ec. Level 2*

Joey and Bakura had just finished making their chicken, so now they were moving onto Joey's latest disaster: The Deep-Fried Big Mac. The teacher had called in several news reporters, paramedics, and the author of the Guinness Book of World Records to witness the moment.

Bakura nervously dunked the burger into the egg-milk batter. After putting on several coatings, he rolled it around in some flour and crushed up French-fried onion rings. Finally, he placed it into a metal basket, performed a silent prayer, and dropped the basket into hot oil. Everyone clapped as Bakura wiped the sweat off him.

"Hey Bakura, don't forget the fries," Joey reminded him.

Bakura groaned, and coated the fries with the egg batter and crushed onion rings. He threw them into the oil as well.

"Man oh man," Joey said with a grin, "I can't wait to take a bite outta dat."

"Joey," Bakura said, placing a hand on Joey's shoulder, "when I say this, I'm telling it to you as a friend---YOU'RE AN IDIOT! That glob of grease is going to KILL you! Why can't you understand--"

Joey turned his head and yawned, "God you're boring. It's no wonder Yugi and I don't hang out with you."

Bakura took his hands off Joey's shoulder, and looked very offended.

"Alright!" Mrs. Gina called, "it looks done!"

Joey cheered and rushed over to the stove. Bakura stood by and watched in horror as everyone cheered Joey's name. He placed the burger on a plate and sat down. Joey grabbed it with both hands and leaned in to take a bite. Everyone clapped and chanted as he sunk in his teeth.

"JO-EY! JO-EY! JO-EY!" everyone cheered.

*Guidance*

"Alright," the counselor said as Kaiba sat across from her, looking very angry, "Ms. Ishtar already told me about you setting her up with the police. The literature teacher told me how you dared Serenity and Miho to break Duke out of prison, which they did. The kids from Calculus told me you drove the teacher into jumping out of the window, and this incident with Ms. Hawkins was just childish. Why did you feel the need to argue with an eight-year old? All you had to do was pour her tea, but instead you took the pot, threw it at her, and called her names until she cried!"

"I don't need this crap!" Kaiba yelled as he stood up, "I'm way too smart for you morons! I'm leaving!"

"If you leave you will be expelled!" she yelled, "now sit down! I have a solution for you."

Kaiba breathed heavily through his nostrils, but complied. He slammed down into the chair and crossed his arms.

"That's slightly better," the counselor said, "now, Dartz and I have talked. We both want to expel you on the spot, but we figured we would give you an ultimatum. You must start taking anger management classes, immediately."

"Anger management!?" Kaiba asked, "You've got to be joking! I don't have a problem with anger you stupid *****!"

The counselor stared at him. There was an awkward silence.

"Well, we'll let the teacher decide that," the counselor said with a stern gaze, "There will be announcement over the intercom that will tell you when to go and where to go. Now, I suggest you go back to class and apologize to Ms. Hawkins."

"Fine!" Kaiba growled as he left the room, knocking the chair over.

*In the Shadow Realm*

Shadi, Yugi, and Solomon continued to wander around. Suddenly, Shadi stopped and panted.

"Shadi? What's wrong?" Yugi asked.

"Something's, not right," Shadi explained, "I feel that there has been a major shift in power."

"Major how?" Yugi asked, looking worried.

"Someone has the majority of the items," Shadi answer, panting, "someone whose power I have never felt before."

"Are you saying that someone new has the items?" Solomon asked curiously. Shadi nodded.

"Whoever they are," Shadi said, "they must be very powerful, and very dangerous."

*Back in P.E.*

"Want more cupcakes my little cupcake?" Tristan asked the zombified Miho.

"Yes master," she answered, grabbing one from the plate.

"You know," Tristan said, "I always imagined us being like this. Okay, not quite like this, but it is a step up from you ignoring me."

"Yes master," Miho said again. Tristan sighed.

"Oh who am I kidding?" he asked himself, "even with these items you don't like me."

"Yes master," Miho said as she grabbed more cupcakes.

"But, maybe if I had them all you would at least have some respect for me," Tristan ranted, "in fact, everyone would have to! I'd be the most powerful man in Domino! I can see it now: no more being yelled at by teachers, no more getting slapped by girls, no more getting my head flushed down the toilet…it's-it's brilliant!"

Tristan suddenly sighed, "but I have no idea where the other items are."

Suddenly, the Millennium Ring lit up. Tristan looked down and noticed the tips glowing and pointing west.

"That's right!" Tristan cheered, "this thing is a Millennium tracking device! Later Miho, I'm gonna go get me some items!"

Tristan ran out of the gym prancing as the other kids stared at him. They turned over and looked at Miho, who was still eating cupcakes.

"God," a student commented, "she's even dumber than before."

"Yes master," Miho said.

*Back in Home Ec. Level 2*

Only five minutes had passed, and Joey had consumed the entire burger; along with the large fries and a large Pepsi. Everyone stood up and cheered. Suddenly, Joey made a funny look, and grabbed onto his chest with his right hand. The audience stared in confusion as he fell onto the floor and stopped moving.

"OH MY GOD!" Bakura yelled, "He's going into cardiac arrest! Do something!"
The paramedics rushed over and pulled out defibrillators, then placed them on Joey's chest.

"CLEAR!!!" one of them yelled.

The other man pressed a button, and the defibrillators sent a jolt throughout Joey's body. Still, he didn't respond.

"CLEAR!!!" he yelled again. The man activated it again, and this time, Joey opened his eyes.

"Oh thank God!" Mrs. Gina cried, "I was afraid I was gonna get sued again!"

"Joey!" Bakura panted, "say something!"

"That…that was the best meal EVER!" Joey answered with a grin. Bakura slapped himself in the forehead as reporters began to rush around Joey.

A/N: So there you go, Kaiba finally gets his own little plot. Don't worry, a deep-fried Big Mac wouldn't do that (at least I hope it wouldn't), but I still advice you not to attempt eating one. Anyway, feel free to leave a review or partake in my new poll on my profile.
