Disclaimer still don't own Yu-gi-Oh
"Ok everybody take your seats!" the teacher yelled for maybe the fifth or sixth time, after a rumor was released that Yugi and Jounouchi had participated at Duelist Kingdom word had spread like wild fire and now a group of admirers' had gathered around the two-mainly Yugi-Yugi had seemed pretty embarrassed about it but Jounouchi ate it up, the bell had rung about ten minutes ago and since then the teacher had tried in vain to quiet his students,
Kim, Cat, and Anzu had sat near their seats in amusement watching the group, but when everything finally quieted down they turned their attention to announcements. And so began another boring but somewhat productive day
It wasn't until third period rolled around did things begin to get interesting. Kim had advance biology third period and about five minutes after the teacher began her lecture did the door open and in walked a girl with blonde hair with darker blonde highlights, what really stood out about the girl was the fact her jacket was black instead of pink, while her skirt was the regular blue it was much longer than most girls. The teacher took in her appearance before smiling a little warmly at her
"Hello…" she started off but the girl beat her to the punch
"I'm your new student, Simms." she said then handed a slip to the teacher who took it and nodded
"Welcome to Domino, do you mind an introduction?" she asked, the girl shrugged
"I'm Kay Simms, I just moved here," was all she had to offer. The teacher waited a moment before it was apparent "Kay" wasn't going to say anything
"You can take a seat behind Ms. Simmin." she offered, Kim raised her arm in a almost bored way but smiled a little over at Kay. Kay nodded and walked briskly to the seat indicated and sat down. Kim thought about turning around and saying hello but decided against it, instead she concentrated on some notes. "and that's it for today, your assignment," the teacher began passing back a big packet, when Kim got hers she groaned inside. This would take a lot of time. She heard Kay sigh a little behind her, glancing at the clock she saw they had twenty minutes until class was let out, hesitating just for a moment Kim turned in her seat and saw Kay was already working on the assignment
"Uh…excuse me?" she asked quietly, Kay looked up at hers and Kim could see that they were green,
"Yes?" she asked her eyes narrowing just slightly
"I was wondering…if you wanted to work together?" she asked
"I prefer to work alone." Kay replied before ducking her head down again and scribbling away, Kim nodded and turned around feeling slightly embarrassed and then began to work.
Her next hour was Home Ec. Cat was in this class with her, their assignment for today was to make brownies.
"simple enough." Kim said cheerfully, Cat looked both flustered and twitchy
"I don't…exactly cook." she muttered, Kim raised an eyebrow
"If you're living alone what do you usually eat?" she asked
"I…uh, make something simple…or have take out." Cat explained.
"Well Brownies are simple." Kim told her with a smile, Cat hesitated but grudgingly followed Kim to the cooking area. "First we need the mix and eggs, some milk, and some vinegar. You just hand me the items and stir while I mix it all up," Kim instructed as she poured brownie mix into the bowl "eggs." Kim pointed to some eggs so Cat picked up two but dropped them, blushing she bent down to pick up the broken shells but whoever knows how made a bigger mess, Kim watched both amused yet a little worriedly until finally she said "why don't you leave the cleaning to me later, just hand me two eggs…without dropping them"
After ten minutes with only some minor messes the two managed to mix up the batter and put it in the baking pan. Kim had started to clean up some spilt brownie batter whereas Cat put the dishes in the sink and began washing them
"Ok, when the oven is done set it for 10 minutes, ok?" Kim asked, Cat nodded determinedly, so Kim set off to gather some more paper towels and Cat put the pan in the oven, after fumbling around for a few seconds she pushed the buttons and went back to drying dishes and locating where they were supposed to be. After ten minutes they were done cleaning and the two girls sat down to fill out a sheet of paper for the class about how cleanliness was important and germs and all that other fun stuff.
"what's that smell?" Kim asked after a little while. Cat frowned before looking in its general direction, the two were horrified to see smoke coming out of the oven
"Our brownies!"
"Our grade!"
The two ran over and opened the oven door, there was a big "whoosh" sound and a puff of smoke, when it had cleared away some they realized the pan was on fire, Kim and Cat looked at each other panicking slightly, fortunately Kim had remembered some fire safety and ran to the wall where the fire extinguisher was and yanked it off the wall, after some fumbling she managed to undo the pin and started spraying frantically hitting some students, their teacher, and Cat and finally the oven.
When that was all said and done Kim gingerly plucked the pan out to see a black pan and melted looking but fried brownies, Kim noticed the mistake…the timer was set for one hour, she didn't have the heart to tell Cat this. Their teacher stalked over to them. If Kim and Cat weren't worried about suspension or their grade they probably would have found it funny, the teacher had his face and shirt covered in that foamy stuff from the fire extinguisher had.
"Uh…brownies are done." Cat said timidly offering a tiny smile
"get the hell out of my classroom."
They didn't need telling twice
"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Jounouchi laughed, Kim had explained to their group of what had happened, after all her shirt was a little blackened and Cat's uniform too. Cat looked extremely embarrassed and slightly frustrated
"Of course you would find it funny." she grumbled, Kim chuckled and put an arm around her
"I find it funny myself Catters…so far no word from the principal's office or anything."
"knock on wood." Yugi offered with a smile, Cat sighed
"I thought I did it right…" she mumbled, Kim bit her lip but then decided to dismiss it entirely
"Maybe the oven set up is all screwed up or something, don't worry about it Cat you did what you could." she told her, Cat smiled at her
"Thanks."
"Maybe next time you should fill out the questions and I'll just do it." Cat gave her a strange look
"IF there's a next time, I've already been kicked out of home ec once." she admitted,
"Then why did you sign up here?" Anzu asked curiously
"I just wanted to get better." Cat protested. Honda was still chuckling
"You've got time…but I sure don't want you near the grill at a bar b que." he joked. Ryou smiled a kindly at Cat
"You'll get better..it just comes with practice." he assured her.
"Hey did you notice that new girl?" Anzu asked to change the topic,
"what new girl?" Yugi asked curiously
"I don't know her name but she wears a black jacket and her skirt is much longer than the school made it to be." Anzu started to explain
"Her name's Kay, she's in my Advance Biology class." Kim said in monotone "I wish I had the guts to do something like that." she said with a small smile.
"Speak of the devil here she comes right now." Anzu said nodding her head slightly, everybody turned to see the girl walk down the lunch aisle and begin to start picking up some food.
"What's she like Kim?" Honda asked a little curiously Kim shrugged
"she keeps to herself. I'm gonna get some more food," she announced standing up and walking to the lunch line
Kay had paid for her lunch then walked out to the cafeteria pondering where to sit, after a moment she decided to go outside and eat, when she was halfway through she was stopped by another person, his hair spiked up with magenta outlining it and blonde bangs.
"Hi." he said cheerfully, Kay paused
"Hi." she replied
"I-I was wondering…well, if you wanted to eat with me and my friends?" he asked gesturing to his table, Kay glanced over briefly before shaking her head
"Thanks but no thanks, I prefer to eat alone." she told him,
"Oh ok," he replied, he didn't seem hurt or offended "the offer is still open, my name is Muto Yugi*" he told her then started to walk away
"wait….Yugi Muto?" Kay asked skeptically, Yugi paused
"Yes." he said
"The one who beat Pegasus?"
"Yes…"
"You little pest!" she snapped at him giving him a very dangerous and scary glare, Yugi debated whether to flee for his life or hope that she'd get over it quickly thinking maybe she wanted to beat Pegasus? "It's your fault my uncle is in a coma!" she accused her fingers clenching her lunch tray and her eyes getting dangerous with every passing moment, Yugi was strongly leaning on the idea of running.
"I-what?" he asked confused
"Ever since you beat him in the duel he's been in a coma and it's your fault that I had to move to this damned city!" Kay yelled at him, boy if looks could kill Yugi would be nothing but a stain on the ground
"B-but I didn't do anything!" he protested stepping back a little, he had heard horror stories of girls armed with a hand bag…or a lunch tray.
"Whatever!" she hissed, "And if you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from me." she told him
"Hey Yuge..everything ok?" Jounouchi asked walking up to his buddy, Anzu and Honda were close by, Cat had opted to stay near the lunch table
"Oh, so you're his groupies?" Kay snapped, Anzu scowled at her "I'm the niece of Pegasus J. Crawford and it's because of Yugi that he's in a coma! And if he doesn't pull through you're all gonna get it!"
"Now hold on here, I don't know what's wrong with your uncle but Yugi didn't do anything." Jounouchi defended stepping in front of Yugi and nearer Kay who glared daggers at him
"Save it, I don't want to hear your testimony, you better pray he pulls through or I'll make sure your life is hell…even after I leave this pathetic town." she threatened.
"You shouldn't blame Yugi it was Pegasus who provoked him, he took Yugi's grandpa's…" Honda stopped after the look Kay gave him,
"Don't talk to me," she snapped then spun on her heel, she nearly crashed into Kaiba "Out of my way jerk." she told him, Kaiba frowned
"Excuse me? Do you know who you're talking to?"
"No, and I don't care." she retorted then walked away, her nose in the air and her back straight, Kaiba glared at her
"I'm Seto Kaiba, CEO of KaibaCorp" he told her "so I would watch it."
"Oh so sorry, but my "give a damn" is out for business today, tomorrow, and the next, matter of fact it's the rest of the eternity" Kay told him with a scowl then turned again only to smack into another person, Kay's lunch tipped forward along with the other girls food onto her, Kay glared, it was that one girl from her third period, ramen, soda, and some ketchup had landed on the girls shirt "Watch it," she told her. Kim frowned a bit
"I don't know what your issue is but…" she started to say but Kay cut her off
"You should watch where you're walking." she said to Kim then stalked away. Kim stood there for a few moments before realizing her shirt was soaked
"Great." she muttered angrily. Cat hurried over to her and started to wipe off some ketchup off then ushered her to the girls restroom where Kim hid in a stall and Cat tried wiping out the soda and ketchup using wet paper towels.
"what on Earth happened?" Kim asked from inside the stall
"I-I guess that girl is Pegasus's niece and according to her Pegasus went into a coma after his duel with Yugi." Cat explained
"I see," Kim grumbled
Cat was unsuccessful of getting the stains out but at least it looked cleaner, in the end Kim had to wear the pink jacket over the shirt much to her displeasure.
In the library Kay sat in a corner scowling at the wall
"I'll never forgive him, he's the reason I'm here and why my uncle is in a coma, I'll never forgive him for it," she seethed
The day continued on and Kay ended up being in Kim's classes for the rest of the day save for GPS. Kay ignored Kim and Kim tried doing the same but it's not quite easy when her damp shirt was clinging to her and the jacket starting to get wet as well, then the fact that the person responsible was less than three feet away from her really didn't improve things. But Kim held her tongue and decided not to provoke a fight, she was pretty sure Kay would win. Kim did not like fights and while she may have been athletic she was still pretty short and wimpy.
"So how was your day?" Ryou asked her on their way to the subway. Kim shrugged
"Other than the fact that my shirt is still wet pretty good." she told him, Ryou smiled a little
"Well you'll be home soon, you can change out." he assured her, Kim resisted the urge to roll her eyes
"Yeah," she agreed
The two talked a little bit until Kim got off at her stop to pick up her two siblings, "Well thanks for coming with me," Kim said with a smile "see you tomorrow."
"No problem, bye." Ryou gave her a shy smile then watched Kim walk down the bus aisle and hop off the bus.
At home Kim had changed out of her uniform into some jeans and a black and white striped oxford shirt and threw her uniform into the laundry basket making a mental note to wash her clothes. Later she went to the grocery store to get a few things for her mom.
"Hey Kim!" a voice called, Kim turned to see Jounouchi behind her, she smiled a little before stopping
"Hi Jounouchi." she said cheerfully."
"where are you off to?"
"Uh, the store." Kim replied "What are you doing?" she asked curiously
"Just-avoiding my dad." Jounouchi muttered "he's having one of those moments." he explained. Kim nodded, having grown up a block away from Jounouchi she knew what he was talking about
"well you should come to the store with me, you can carry the groceries." she told him with a laugh. Jounouchi gave her a mock scowl but nevertheless agreed to go with her.
He ended up having dinner with her family as well and enjoyed the attention her siblings gave him asking about the tournament and what was it like to compete in it. Around ten Jounouchi decided it was safe enough to go home and that left Kim to go to bed. She spent the rest of her waking moments wondering what to do about Kay Simms and how to break it to her parents that she wouldn't be completing home Ec.
Somebody's mad at Yugi, I had a lot of fun writing out the chapter ^^
