Hey guys, I know it's been what a week since my last update, I know unusual for me but school is picking up and I haven't had the time of updating.

So know that I am done explaining, I would like to thank dragonicdevil for favoriting and following.

Also I would like to thank Aqua girl 007 for helping me co-write chapter 11. Merci!

And before we start I would unhappily like to say that I do not own YUGIOH!

Third Person POV

"So how long is this free period?" Mana asked, already exhausted from the day.

She couldn't believe she would have to do this every day of the week.

Atem gave her a small smile. When they had reached the exercise bars, he had climbed to the tallest one and sat down.

"Around fifty minutes, we're supposed to catch up on work during this time."

Yeah that wasn't going to happen, both of them were so bored of this work. Mana was even missing her old magic classes.

"Yeah, not going to happen," she said matter-of-factly.

"I imagined," he responded looking down at her.

She looked up. This was so familiar to her. Normally it would have been a tree and she would be leaning against it and not a metal bar.

Mana looked around the courtyard. There was barely anybody around. "Atem what are we doing here?"

"It's a nice day out, and the student body is staying inside in the comfort of the AC." He said the last part smugly, enjoying the fact that he could avoid the inquiry for a little longer.

"You just don't want to be ambushed, and what is an AC?" She joked; glad to have some time alone with Atem.

"True and it is a machine that cools down a room." Atem smiled. It surprised him how easily Mana understood him.

Mana slid down the bar and lay against it.

The two of them spend the rest of the hour in silence, lost in thought and enjoying the company of the other.

The hour passed without incidents.

As Mana and Atem walked towards their next class, Ancient Languages, it seemed that the stares only magnified and the curiosity in them at time was even hostile.

They entered the room and were surprised by seeing Tea and Joey there.

"Hey you two!" Joey called out to them waving them over.

"How has been your day been?" Tea asked, trying her best to ignore Mana.

Mana decided to annoy her at that moment. She answered. "It has been well, though the stares have been getting on our nerves."

Tea reluctantly turned toward her. "Oh, so what did you two do during Free Period? We didn't find you guys anywhere in the school."

Atem gave Mana a knowing smile. "We were outside, relaxing on the exercise bars."

"Wait you two were outside in this weather?"

They both shrugged. The heat they were used to made the days actually refreshing.

Tea didn't like hearing of them together alone. It was bad enough that they had the same schedule.

At that moment, the teacher walked into the room. The class quickly quieted and luckily for Atem and Mana it would seem that they were beginning to study Ancient Egyptian.

"No way," Joey quietly complained. While the two Egyptians in the room tried in vain to hide their smug smiles.

Thankfully for them, no one, but Tea noticed. She found the advantage they had. Atem and Mana were both fluent in ancient Egyptian, lucky them!

"Oh and students we have two new students with us today."

At that, every pair of eyes turned towards Mana and Atem.

"Would you two be so kind to tell us a little about yourselves?" He asked us kindly. He looked to be around his mid-twenties and had a shine in his eyes when he saw them.

The teacher knew that there was more to the new kids than what all the other teachers had told him.

"I am Mana," she pointed to the tricolored hair boy that sat next to her. "And he is Atem."

With that said, Mana sat down, and looked down to her notebook.

The teacher looked at the boy, waiting for him to say something, but unlike his cousin, he wore a confidence that bordered arrogance. All of his teachers had commented on the same fact. It was like if he was prepare to lead an army into the gates of hell themselves.

"Nice to meet you two and I hope you have had a good first day," they both shrugged. "Please call me Mr. Everheart and if you ever feel lost don't be shy to ask for help."

The teacher noticed that Mana and Atem shared a knowing smile, before they nodded to him.

Nothing interesting happened after that. To Atem's amusement, Mana had nearly fallen asleep near the end. They did the same as they had done in their previous classes and left as soon as the bell rang. They didn't notice till they were half way to their next class that Joey and Tea were trying to catch up with them.

"Are you being chased or something?" Joey asked jokingly when they had been able to catch up. "Also what class do you guys have next?"

Mana looked down to their time table. "Math and we are avoiding the inquisition."

"Cool; so do we. I think Tristan and Yugi do too." Joey replied.

"Wait a sec, Mana how do you know about the inquisition?" Tea asked her. It was the first time that the young Magician had sparked some interest in her.

Atem also gave Mana a questioning look.

Mana kept on walking, with the other three right on her heels. She gave Atem a small smile. "It was one of the advantages of being in the Afterlife. You meet people of many different times. They may not talk to one about the small things in their life, but about the way they died, especially if it had been traumatic in a way."

The other three looked at her with skeptical looks. Tea and Joey simply couldn't believe her. The thought of the Afterlife and listening to people talk about the way they died was a thought they could barely accept.

Atem on the other hand noticed that Mana was excluding something from her explanation. He decided to stay quiet and when the time was right ask her about it.

"Hey you guys!" Yugi called running towards them.

"Hey Yugi!" Joey said, giving him a nod.

"So how has been your first day?" Yugi asked Mana and Atem. They both gave a shrug.

"Okay then, so I was thinking that after school we could go out and show you guys the town." Yugi asked them.

"Sounds great Yugi." Joey said excitedly. He would do anything he could to avoid going to his house and confronting his dad.

"Yeah, don't you guys agree?" Tea asked the two Egyptians.

Mana gave Yugi an apologetic smile. "Sorry you guys, but we have training with Mahad later today."

Atem nodded giving Yugi the same smile. "Though, you guys are welcome to come and watch."

"Cool and don't worry we understand." Yugi and Joey gave them a smile. Tea just kept sending Mana the evil eye.

"Sure, it could be interesting." Tea said, barely able to hide the sourness in her voice.

Later that day after school was over, the gang walked to the game shop.

Atem and Mana were able to avoid the inquisition for the rest of the day, though they knew that they would have to confront them sooner than later.

When they entered the shop, they were meet with chaos.

"I told you that it that this went over there neat the shelves!" Solomon was telling Mahad angrily.

"That is where I out it!" Mahad defended himself. It would seem that they had been having this argument for some time now.

"Then why was it on the counter?" Solomon asked barely containing his annoyance.

"Because you put it there!" Mahad responded exasperated. It would seem that it was the first time that he had said that.

"Hey we're home." Yugi announced loudly, hoping to break up the fight between them.

It barely worked. They were still staring down at on another trying to see who would back down first.

Tea sighed. "What are you to fighting about?"

Solomon turned towards them reluctantly. "He nearly had me breaking this priceless game chest."

"Not true, I put it where you told me. After that you went and got it and for an unexplainable reason, you decided to bring it back here." He brought his fist down on the counter.

Mana knew that Mahad was near his last nerves. Yes, he was patient guy, Ra how she knew that. However, if you were to annoy him long enough he would mostly like turn you into a cat. It had happen to Mana perhaps seven times in her life time and once to Atem when he was eight. Atem's father nearly burst a vein when he found out. Though, Mahad had only been ten at the time. It became a Palace joke after that.

"Um, Mahad before you turn poor Mr. Motou into a cat, why done we go and practice." Mana sweetly suggested. She ignored the surprise look of everyone, even Atem. He must not remember being turn into cat himself. She sighed. Why her life had to be so complicated?!

Mahad gave Mana a level, but nodded. He exited the room, leaving Solomon with his mouth hanging open.

"We'll see you guys in a few." Mana waved at the gang, nudging Atem to follow Mahad.

The others and Solomon stood where they had left them staring at one another. They didn't understand what had happen.

To Solomon it would seem that Mana was use to diffusing situation like this, but it was strange. Supposedly, in ancient Egypt the queen was the one that handle situations like within the Palace and as far as he knew Mana was not an Egyptian Queen.


There you go, I know, I know it was a filler, this little scenes appeared in my head and I had to write them down. However I like to think this filler gives some back bone to who the character is and makes them seem that they are having a semi-normal first day at school.

So hope you enjoyed it and Au Revoir for now.
