William never thought he would be so happy to be back in school. However he would have been a lot happier had his ribcage not been screaming in pain. At the moment his ribs felt like they were broken, besides being on fire and the deep bruising was really supporting the evidence that he had re-broken a rib or two somehow. However with his fear of hospitals, he refused to seek out medical attention. Long as he took it easy, he should be okay.

Yugi's mom was upset about her glass vase being broken. William however had managed to locate an exact copy of the vase to replace the broken one, after three failed attempts of trying to repair the vase even with Yugi's help. The only difference was that Yugi's mom vase had been made of glass while the one William had located was made of pure crystal. It was expensive but well worth seeing Yugi's mother's reaction to her new vase.

At the moment however William watched as Yugi played air hockey against Joey but with each hit was causing Yugi to be being sent flying. "Time out." William said making the two pause to look at him. "Yugi, let me give ya a little advice. Use your opponent's strength and speed against him. "

"Use Joey's strength and speed against him?" Yugi asked in confusion.

"Let me demonstrate." William said as he switched places with Yugi. Joey only smirked.

"I'm not gonna take it easy against ya, Will! "Joey said as he hit the puck with it's paddle. William's eyes narrowed as he angled his paddle just right as it hit the puck and sent it flying with such force that it caused Joey to miss the puck completely allowing him to score. "Huh? How did ya?!"

" See, use his speed and strength against him. " William said with a wink as he gave Yugi back his paddle. He than sat back down to watch them.

Yugi was soon scoring against Joey like crazy which drove Joey nuts. Tristan and Tea were laughing at this as William grinned in a evil sort of way. "William, no more giving advice to Yugi on how to play certain games!!!" Joey yelled.

"No promises... " William said as Yugi laughed. William than turned to look at Tea. "So any idea what the class is doing this year at the school festival?" William asked her as Tea suddenly froze.

" I completely forgot all about that, and I'm the school's festival representative for class B." Tea screamed in horror. "Tomorrow we have to talk to the entire class about what we are doing."

"Tea, calm down...I thought I ask because class C was doing a bake sale instead of their haunted house idea." William said as he tried to call her down.

"Why did they change their mind on that? " Tristan asked.

"Simple they weren't allowed to borrow me in their haunted house idea since I'm part of class B and it sort of disappointed them that they couldn't use me for their haunted house. So they changed their plans. Why they wanted to use me, I have no idea." William said as he remembered a few students from class C complaining about it in the boy's locker room.

"We should have one of those sex appeal competitions, where the girls wear-" Joey started before a deep inhuman growl was heard.

"Joey...unless you want to see just how vicious or deadly I really can be...you won't continue that conversation. I still haven't forgiven you for the videotape incident that caused Yugi and I have to listen to a certain conversation that I rather not talk about for over an hour and a half with Yugi's grandfather." William snarled making Joey tense as he laughed nervously before he his behind Yugi for protection. "And stop using Yugi, as a human shield every time you get into trouble with me!"

Yugi laughed nervously at this. "You really wouldn't hurt Joey, right?"

"No...I wouldn't hurt him. Unless I was given no other option than yeah, no promises." William said with a smirk.


The next day at school class B sat there brainstorming ideas for the school festival. They were being forced to do two things for the festival. Only after Mrs. Chono decided Class B needed to be punished for the other day and their punishment has to do two projects for the festival. So far they all agreed on a haunted house.

"So we need one more idea... "Tea said.

"How about a costume contest!" Joey yelled only for the girls in the classroom to suddenly start throwing things at him.

"Let's do another battle of the bands!" A boy yelled.

"No pro wrestling!" A girl shouted.

"Since we have a haunted house...how about some carnival games?" Yugi suggested. Instantly the class went silent before they all smiled.

"Yeah, let's do it!!!" The class cheered. Tea smiled at this as they brain stormed which games they were going to use. They settled on Three games. Which ones William didn't get a chance to hear as he was dragged out of the room since he was being dragged into the haunted house portion of their class. They were given three days to get everything ready.

Everyone was soon outside working on their projects. William been practicing on his make up skills. He made half his face to be mummified as though the mummified face of a Jackal like demon that was taking over his body. It was very realistic looking that it caused half his class to nearly have heart attacks when they saw him.

William went as far as even using make up on his entire right arm and hand to look mummified as well. He was careful not to get any of the thick make up onto his bracelet. William soon tried on his black robes that were hooded and torn. William even put in a contact lens into his eye to make it glazed over to mimic death.

He walked silently over to were Yugi, Tea and Joey were. They were working on the carnival game called Pirates Attack. Joey had just finished the barrel as Yugi finished the mask. "Hey guys." William said making the three turn to face him only for them to scream in horror at the sight of him. He scared Joey so badly that he toppled backwards sending a bucket of paint crashing down on top of him.

William winced at that. "I knew you were good at art but this is almost on a professional make up artist level!" Tea said with wide eyes.

Yugi only smiled nervously since he seen William draw out his make up plans before actually practicing with the actual make up on his face. "Are you trying to kill us!!! " Joey shouted at him.

"Not at all...I came over to see if you guys needed help. We got the haunted house all set up a few spaces from here and we are all set with it." William said.

"We are almost done...I can't wait to see who the poor fool is that will launched out of the barrel." Joey said snickering as he climbed into the barrel he just finished building.

"Why not you, Joey?" William suggested.

" What!? " Joey shouted.

"That's it, you would be perfect for the part!" Tea laughed.

"Yeah, and my mask should fit you Joey! " Yugi said smiling.

"No way!!! " Joey shouted as Tea and Yugi laughed just as William turned his head to see a few of the seniors of class D approaching their spot.

"This can't be good." William said under his breath.

"What the hell do you underclassmen think your doing! This is our space for our traditional okonomiyaki each year!!!" The senior of class D who was in the same option as Tea for the festival snarled in rage.

"Cabbage pancakes? " William asked under his breath looking a bit confused since he never had okonomiyaki before.

"Listen here Goro, our class won this space this year in the school lottery." Tea said coldly.

" I could care less! Get rid of these stupid games, so we can take our rightful spot!!! "He snarled at her.

"Uh boss...the red wolf of Domino high is part of class B." A different senior student of class D said when he noticed William standing there. Before screaming in pure horror when William turned to fully face them.

"Red wolf? Tch...you don't seem so tough." Goro said.

William only narrowed his eyes at him. "Looks can be very deceiving...I'm not here for a fight nor am I in any condition for one right now." William said in a dangerous tone.

"Hnnn...from the sounds of it your injured." Goto said as he looked at him.

"William?" Yugi asked in concern upon hearing that.

"It's true that I injured my ribs...somehow...also I don't think my doctor would like to see me so soon after recovering from a gunshot wound...that I accidentally tore open. Not much one can do for broken ribs anyways." William stated.

"Do we seriously have to wrap you up in bubble wrap or something!?" Yugi yelled at him in annoyance as William sighed. He knew only to well Yami wasn't going to be happy about this.

"There is always some idiot who starts a fight at these things and I wouldn't miss it for the world! William, might not be able to fight ya, but I sure as he'll can!" Joey snarled as he tried to get out of the barrel he created only to make a horrifying realization. "Shit! I'm stuck!!!" Joey yelled as he struggled to free himself. Goro moved to punch Joey, only to be suddenly sent flying backwards by a swift kick to the face by William.

"Why you miserable mutt! " Goro snarled at William. William only snarled as he bared his teeth at him in a almost inhuman like way as his hair spiked out wildly giving him a true demonic appearance.

"Injured or not...I'll be damned if I let you hurt my friends." William snarled in a wolf like fashion.

"William, stay out of this!" Joey yelled in concern. "Don't injure yourself further because of me! "

"William..." Yugi and Tea said in concern.

"You should listen to your friends, and stay out of this." Goro said as Tea and Yugi helped Joey out of the barrel.

"Boss, what do we do?" A student asked.

"Use the 50 serving grill as a battering ram to get these losers out of our space. " Goro said as his group charged forward with their grill as they began destroying their carnival games. William was growling in rage as other members of their class were yelling at class D to stop.

Yugi than ran forward before William could stop him. "Yugi, Wait!" William raised his voice but Yugi ignored him as he ran in front of class D.

"Stop!!!" Yugi shouted only to be struck hard by the grill as the back of head struck the cement ground with enough force to knock him out cold.

" Yugi!!! " Tea, William, and Joey screamed as they ran over to him. They crouched around him as Goro was laughing loudly at this. William snarled deeply as something within him snapped he stood up very slowly as he took a few steps towards Goro while his whole body shook in rage.

"Damn you to hell, Goro!!!" William shouted in a deadly tone as his bracelet glowed brightly just as the mouth of the Anubis head on his bracelet opened it's jaws revealing two rows of razor sharp fangs as the eyes snapped open glowing a very bright soul piercing red color. William's robes flared out wildly as William's shadow revealed a terrifying image of a jackal like creature while black sand slowly bubbled up from the ground underneath William's feet while he bared his teeth in raw anger. Loud ominous chanting in ancient Egyptian echoed though his head.

"I told you, we would get our space." Goro laughed as he turned to leave with his classmates. William took a threatening step forward but Joey gripped his shoulder.

William turned to glare at Joey who flinched in fear at the murderous expression on William's face. "Help me get Yuge, to the nurse's office. Tea, can't carry him and your in no condition to pick a fight with those guys. William, please don't do anything to hurt yourself further, for Yuge's sake." Joey said softly. William shook in rage as he forced himself to calm down. The black sand quickly vanished as his shadow turned back to normal. William's bracelet soon went back to normal as well.

"Just make sure you get the doors, while I carry Yugi." William said slowly in barely controlled anger as he approached to pick up Yugi himself. Tea watched with worried eyes as William very carefully and very gently gathered Yugi into his arms. William sent Goro a very dark look and if looks could kill, Goro would have been dead in a heart beat. William than started to carry Yugi to the nurse's office as Joey followed him. Joey was watching in case he need to stop William from doing something stupid.

Tea glanced at the giant 6inch grill that now took over their spot. At least their haunted house was still standing and untouched a few spaces away. All their hard work on the carnival games was completely ruined. Tea slowly followed the guys to the nurse's office.


A few hours later Yugi started to come around. "How are you feeling?" Tea asked him as he slowly sat up in the bed.

" Tea, where-? " Yugi asked softly.

"The nurse's office. William carried you here after Joey managed to calm him down a bit. William hasn't even left your side...and well...he sort of fell asleep about half an hour ago." Tea said softly as Yugi turned his head to see William sound asleep in a chair with his head resting on his arms on the edge of the bed.

" he stayed beside me this entire time? "

"Yeah, he became really scary when you were out cold. Joey and I believe he really would have picked a fight with Goro had Joey not interfered." Tea said as Yugi looked at William for a moment before looking around the room.

"Where is Joey?" Yugi asked.

"Joey, was here but went to get some food for all of us." Tea added softly.

"What about the carnival games?" Yugi asked only for William to suddenly wake up with a start as he sat up quickly. He glanced around in confusion before he noticed Yugi was awake.

"Yugi, your awake? How do you feel?" William asked in a grim tone.

"I'm okay...but what about the games? " Yugi asked them. William sighed as he stood up.

"I'll let Tea fill you in about that...I need to go wash this make up off." William said sighing as he left the room.

" Tea? " Yugi asked her.

"We still have the haunted house...So let's try again, next year on the games." Tea said softly.

"What?! That's not fair, we need to get that space back! We worked so hard on those games." Yugi said with wide eyes of alarm.

"You're right...we should get it back...it belongs to us." Tea said as she turned away to brush away her tears. Yugi's puzzle glowed as Yami switched places. He than quietly and quickly opened the window and left to track down Goro. Tea quickly got her emotions under control unaware Yugi had left the room. "Sorry about-" Tea started only to see the bed was empty. Yugi? She wondered as William came back into the room free of make up.

"Tea, where's Yugi?" William asked in dread.

"I don't know..." She said just as Joey came into the room.

"I got burgers! Hey where's, Yuge?" Joey asked them

"That's what we would like to know. " William said frowning.

"Well, more burgers for us than. " Joey said grinning as Tea shook her head as William reached out and suddenly smacked Joey hard upside the head making him yelp. "What was that for!?" William said nothing as his bracelet tightened softly on his wrist.

"Do you think Yugi is okay?" Tea asked.

"I'm sure he's fine...He just needed some air." William said softly.

"Aw...Tea has a crush on Yuge, well it's about time you two got together. I bet you two will have lots of cute babbies... " Joey said in a teasing tone as William quickly moved out of the way when he noticed Tea's exspression. Tea's eyes held a promise of death in them.

William knew better than to pick on a girl, especially one who had a crush. He remembered only to well what Alex was like and she almost broke both of his arms and his spine when she attacked him, when he had picked on her about having a crush on their friend Josh.

"Joey...run." William said fearfully in a warning tone as he grabbed the bag of food so the food wouldn't be smashed and squished.

" Huh? " Joey asked.

"Wheeler..." Tea snarled at him as he turned to face her only to pale at how angry Tea looked.

"Tea? Tea, let's just talk this out. Tea, put down the chair!" Joey yelled before he screamed. William simply sat there blinking as he watched the chaos unfold before him, and he wasn't a fool to get in the middle of two of them. "Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!" Joey screamed as he ran away from her who gave chase after him as she yelled death threats after him. William's bracelet glowed softly before he stood up slowly.

"Huh, where are you going?" Joey asked as he noticed William moving to leave the room.

"Don't mind me, I just need some air...and you might want to duck, if you wish to keep your head, Joey. " William said with a small friendly smile as he left the room quickly. Joey blinked in confusion at William's words. That was when he remembered Tea was very angry with him just as William's warning click with him. With a yell of fright he dived to the floor making Tea miss swinging the nurse's chair at his head.

"Can't we talk about this!?" Joey screamed as he bolted away from her.

" No!!! " Tea shouted. "Get back here, Joey Wheeler!!!"


Later that night Goro was annoyed as he showed up at the school. "Have to admire the fact that you got guts for calling me out here, kid. " Goto said to Yami who stood near his grill.

"You trespassed on the souls of all my classmates...therefore you have to play a Shadow game with me."

"Tch...you called me out here to play a stupid game. Hahahahaa! What a joke. Go home and play games with your mommy. " Goro laughed.

"If you got any guts, I suggest you stay and play the game with me." Yami taunted.

" I never back down from a challenge...and I always win. So what type of game are talking about? " Goro asked.

"We'll play a game with the grill, that you brought here. I've already heated up the surface, next is this block of ice that has a test tube in the center filled with a highly explosive liquid compound. If it touches the grill, one or even both of us will be blown sky high. We will use these metal spatulas instead of rackets. I call this game griddle ice hockey. The loser of this game gives up the right to use this space for the School Festival. Any problem with that, Goro? " Yami explained with an evil grin.

"Not at all prepare to die, because I won't loose!." Goro said as their game started. Due to how hot the grill was the ice was melting as it was being sent flying across the grill. It was literally a ticking time bomb. Sadly Yami was being sent flying with each hit.

If I keep up my power and my speed, the puck will be in the enemy's space when the ice completely melts, causing the bomb to exsplode. Goro thought with an evil smile as Yami was struggling at each time he returned the puck as it kept sending him flying. "You were a fool to challenge me to this!"

Yami was gritting his teeth as he was being sent flying from the recoil of each hit. His speed and strength...each time I send it back to him, the recoil sends me flying...how can I actually win this?! Yami thought before his eyes widen as William's voice came to him.

"Use your opponent's own strength and speed against him." William's voice echoed in his mind.

Yami than angled the spatula in a way he remembered William had used against Joey. I hope this works...

"Looks like this game is mine, kid! " Goro laughed before their was a loud crack sound. Goro's eyes widen in horror as the ice split in half as the test tube was sent air born towards him. What?! That little brat, actually put a crack in the ice when he nicked it!!!! Goro thought in horror before the tube hit the grill. Their was a loud explosion followed by a scream as Goro was sent flying violently across the ground.

Goro was still alive just covered in small burns and small cuts. He laid on the ground breathing hard and in a world of pain. "As promised...the space belongs to Class B again." Yami said as he headed back towards the school's nurse's office.

Completely unaware of the black sand that bubbled upwards taking the form of a mummified Anubis warrior. It stalked forward as it pulled out an Egyptian sword. Goro slowly looked up as a shadow fell over him. His eyes widen in horror at the creature as suddenly raised it's blade upwards.

"Aku...na...anu...sek...ra...mun...ra!" The Anubis warrior shouted just as it swung it's blade downwards. Goro screamed in horror just as a swirl of black sand rose upwards around them like a fierce storm.

Yami didn't get far when a blood curdling scream was heard before horrifying shredding sounds were heard besides muffled screams. He swiftly turned only to see no one was there. Goro's body was also no where to be seen. Yami briefly saw a shadow move causing his puzzle to glow as the sennen eye appeared glowing on his forehead.

He took a cautious step forward only to be startled as a black cat jumped from the shadows screeching in fright as it ran off. Yami let out a soft sigh of relief only to frowned as he slowly turned to head back inside the school. What Yami failed to notice was the very large pool of blood that was being quickly absorbed by black sand where Goro had once been.

The Anubis warrior slowly stepped out from the shadows as it looked up at the school. It's blood red eyes looked up at William who was looking down at him from the roof top with the black robes flowing around on the breeze in a demonic way. William 's eyes were a ominous inhuman crimson red color that glowed unnaturally as his hair appeared to be flared out in demonic sort of way as well as appearing more wild looking.

William's expression was cold, unforgiving as it held no once of mercy in them. The bracelet was glowing as the tail of the bracelet swayed side to side as the Anubis' eyes were open. The Anubis warrior bowed to him before shattering into black sand just as William turned away to head back inside as the bracelet returned back to normal.


William's head was soon pounding and he was a bit confused as to what he was doing out in the hallway. He didn't even remember leaving the nurse's office. He walked until he came to his destination as William opened the door to see Yugi trying to calm Tea down as Joey hid behind Yugi with a large bump on his head.

Okay, memo to self don't tease Tea about having a crush on Yugi, when it's so fricken obvious. William thought. A few minutes later Tea called every single student in their class to help get the carnival games back up and running.

The students from class B pulled an all nighter to get things ready for the School Festival the following morning and soon everything was ready. William watched in amusement as Joey was sent flying from the barrel when a kid manger to pick the right spot to activate the mechanism to launch him. William was in his horror make up and costume once more as he sat on a bench happily munching away at some festival food. He was taking a break.

Yugi was smiling as he sat beside him. "Looks like Joey, is having fun." Yugi said grinning as he took a treat from William's plate.

"I think we all are... " William said softly with a grin. Yugi's puzzle glowed softly.

"So how did you injure your ribs?" Yami asked as he switched places with Yugi.

"I honestly have no idea, Yami." William said softly.

"I'm really starting to think I need to wrap you in bubble wrap." Yami grumbled under his breath. William shook his head as Joey, Tristan and Tea walked over to them. Yami switched places with Yugi once more just as a group of girls walked pass them.

"I heard we are getting a new student from England sometime this week!" A girl squealed as her friends also squealed.

"Maybe it will be another cute guy, like William!" Her friend squealed.


It seemed like over night everyone in the school was bringing their Digital pets in, the following day. At the moment they were all in the classroom. " How is your pet doing Yugi? " Joey asked.

"He's doing just fine, what about yours?" Yugi asked looking up from his pet.

"He's cool. " Joey said as they gathered to look at Yugi's pet. Tea instantly squealed at how cute Yugi's pet was.

"He's so cute and he looks just like you!" Tea said with a smile.

" I named him U2. You should see William's. " Yugi said.

William looked up and simply showed them Anu. "He definitely matches your lone wolf personality." Tea said as she looked at Anu who was currently sleeping.

"Here's mine. " Joey said as he revealed his digital pet.

"It's so ugly!" Tea yelled in disbelief as Joey slumped a bit.

It's even uglier than what the manga and the anime showed it to be. William thought to himself as he stared at it. What the hell is it suppose to be? A mutated carrot with legs or a radish with legs?

"Yeah and it has Joey's bad attitude from the looks of it. " Tristan said.

"Where is yours, Tristan?" Yugi asked.

" I don't have time for a digital pet...taking care of a real one is a lot harder especially since my dog has just gone into heat. " Tristan said sighing.

Tea than showed them her pet and it was cute and it did look like a little peach with a bow on it. William tuned them out as Yugi explained how the digital pets could be linked up. William decided to take a sip of water from his water bottle at this time.

"Let's you and I mate right away, Yugi!" Joey said causing William to suddenly choke as he sprayed the water out of his mouth since he didn't catch the whole conversation.

"Say what?!" William shouted.

" I didn't need to hear that... "Tristan said looking disturbed.

"They are talking about linking their pets together." Tea said softly with a nervous laugh as William muttered under his breath in irritation at Joey's wording.

Yugi linked U2 up with Joey's as they all moved in to see how the two pets would react. That was when Joey's pet suddenly kicked U2.

"It's a bully. " Tristan said.

"It's just like you...Joey." Tea said coldly.

"I'm ashamed of him." Joey said.

"Maybe this was a bad idea." Yugi said.

"Uh guys, I think you judged to soon...because to me, it looks like the two pets now like each other." William said as the two pets now seemed to be smiling at each other. A chime like sound began going off to show the data transfers was complete as the two pets went to respected areas so they could be disconnected.

"Say Will, let's see how our pets act together. " Joey said.

"Sure why not." William said as he linked Anu with Joey's pet. Anu stalked forward as it looked at Joey's pet before it's face than suddenly peeled back revealing a terrifying image. Joey's pet looked to be screaming in horror seconds before Anu lunges forward and suddenly ate Joey's pet in a single gulp.

No one said a word as they stared at the screen in horror. Anu than suddenly spit Joey's pet out of it's mouth as Joey's pet looked traumatized. Joe's pet looked at Anu who than snuggled up against him with a evil grin of amusement on it's face.

"Your pet ate my pet... " Joey said very slowly as they watched as Anu and Joey's pet now appeared to be best friends. William was silent since he had no idea what to say and was still frozen in disbelief.

"How did Anu take to U2?" Tea asked nervously.

"We don't know...we sort of got distracted... " Yugi said.

"Should we link our pets again?" William suggested. Yugi than linked his pet with William's. They watched as Anu was suddenly tackled instantly by U2 who snuggled against it's fur as Anu simply swished it's tail in happiness.

Tea squealed at how cute they were together. "Why couldn't my pet gain some of your pets cuteness?" Joey grumbled under his breath.

Suddenly U2 began to freak out badly and shuddered in fear as it buried itself into Anu's fur as Anu suddenly revealed it's fangs as it took a protective stance as it bristled in rage as it turned rather terrifying looking.

"What has Anu on edge and U2 so freaked out?" William asked as he noticed their strange behavior.

"I don't know..." Yugi said as they disconnected this pets after the two pets returned to their screens. William watched as a student walked over to them as he put Anu back into his pocket.

"You guys want to see my special pet?" He asked.

" Kujirada, your raising a digital pet as well? " Yugi asked.

"Naturally I am. You see my pet is one of the hidden characters within the digital pets, glitches or a computer virus no one really knows. They are so rare that the chances of obtaining one is a million to one. Hidden characters always have a special symbol on them!" Kujirada said before he revealed his pet to them. The black star in it's belly was a huge indicator.

"Oh wow...it's even uglier than Joey's pet. " Tea said.

"Looks like a over weight mutated frog demon mixed with a evil clown and wearing cowboy boots...yep that's pretty ugly." William said.

"William...Anu has a symbol on him...is he also a hidden character?" Yugi asked.

" oh you have a pet, William? " Kujirada asked as William revealed his pet. Kujirada scoffed at his pet's image.

"Hidden characters always have black stars on them." Kujirada stated coldly.

"Maybe they do, maybe they don't." William said as he noticed how angry Anu was becoming near Kujirada's pet.

"You are just jealous. It's only natural, that you would be." Kujirada said with a evil grin.

"Not really...any ways I got to head to my art class...so I'll see you guys latter." William said as he left the room. Yugi and his friends waved bye to him.

While walking to his art class two students suddenly crashed into him causing his binder of art work to go flying as all the contents of his binder to go scattering all over the place. William said nothing as he started picking up all his pictures as the two students ran down the hallway.

"Here let me help you. " A student said as he began picking up the pieces of paper off the ground.

"Thanks..." William said before looking at who was helping him. William was a bit startled to see it was Seto Kaiba.

Kaiba paused when he noticed a highly detailed drawing of a Blue Eyes White Dragon. "Did you draw this?" Kaiba asked him in disbelief at how realistic and detailed it looked.

" Yes...I like drawing in my spare time. " William said. "If you want you can keep the picture." He added which surprised Kaiba who looked deeply surprised before he smirked at him.

"Thanks...but you look oddly familiar to me...Do you play duel monsters by any chance?" Kaiba asked him.

" Yes...though I haven't dueled in a while. " William said as he gathered up the rest of his art work. In the far back of William's mind he knew he was going to end up dueling Kaiba in some way.

"What is your name?" Kaiba asked him.

"Oh right, I'm William Dracon." William said.

"I know I've heard your name before somewhere...anyways I'm Seto Kaiba. " Kaiba said.

"Nice to meet you, sorry I can't stay to talk longer...I have to get to class." William said.

" Likewise...maybe we can duel sometime. " Kaiba said.

"Sure thing, I look forward to our duel." William said as he headed off to class. Kaiba looked down at the drawing before pulled out his phone to investigate something. In seconds he found an article about William Dracon.

William Dracon, the undefeated United States Duel Monster champion. Famous for summoning Exodia the forbidden one against Maximillion Pegasus the creator of Duel Monsters in less than three moves. The artical stated as it showed a picture of William standing beside Pegasus. William had much longer hair in the picture though. William stood there wearing an outfit that strongly resembled that of shou fuwa's demonic outfit when he performs the song called Prisoner from the anime Skip Beat. The date of the article showed that this was taken five years ago. However William's eyes were as cold as ice, completely emotionless and lifeless in the picture.

Kaiba froze as he remembered dueling against him four years ago, a year after this article came out. The only match that he had ever ended up as draw for the championship title. It also had been the only duel monster tournament that had ever ended up with two winners for the championship title. The prize money was split between them evenly. The trophy however went to Kaiba. This was mostly because William wanted nothing to do with it, so naturally Kaiba ended up with the trophy. The only trophy in his collection Kaiba felt like he didn't truly win.

Also if he remembered correctly Mokuba had taken a strong liking to the American Duelist, who had protected him from being kidnapped while Kaiba at the time was dueling someone in the tournament. The kidnapping attempt had been by an ex-employee who was out for revenge against Kaiba for firing him.

I'm going to have show a picture of William Dracon to Mokuba to see if he is the same duelist from four years ago. If he is...I need to have proper rematch against him and to thank him properly for protecting Mokuba, when I wasn't able to four years ago. Kaiba thought to himself. He most likely in art class right now...so asking the teacher for a picture of him won't be too difficult, I can also ask the school's principal for his school records.

Meanwhile William walked to his class unable to shake the feeling that this wasn't his first encounter with Kaiba. Why can't I shake this weird feeling. There is no way I could have meet Kaiba before today. I mean yeah I know of him from the anime, Manga and seeing over thousands of cosplayers of Seto Kaiba in anime conventions...but this feels different...Damn it...why can't I remember. Does this have something to do with that accident three years ago or from my arrival to this dimension? William wondered as he reached his class as he began working on his art work. While he was in class he was unaware that his teacher had taken a photograph of him for Kaiba and that the school Principal had just informed Kaiba about William's situation with amnesia.


Meanwhile with Yugi some of the students began freaking out on how their digital pets had gone missing from their screens.

"It's gone! My digital pet's data is completely gone!!!!" A student yelled in anger.

Yugi frowned it was rather strange how students digital pets were suddenly vanishing. He was startled when a girl suddenly screamed. "Kujirada's pet just ate my pet!!!!"

"My pet is still hungry...Yugi, give me your pet, so I can feed it my ultimate pet!" Kujirada laughed as he snatched Yugi's digital pet away from him as he linked it with his pet. U2 screamed in fear as Kujirada's pet appeared licking it's lips as it revealed it's sharp fangs.

" U2! Run away! " Yugi yelled as he watched in horror.

"It's no use Yugi...my pet may look fat but he's rather fast on his feet!" Kujirada laughed.

U2 was running for his life as Kujirada's pet chased after him. The creature laughed as it finally caught U2. U2 prepared himself for the worse as Kujirada's Pet widen it's jaws. Suddenly Yugi's digital pet began making a strange sound. U2's body began glowing brightly.I

"Wha-what is that sound?!" Kujirada asked.

"That's the sound you hear when your pet grows and changes! U2 is evolving?! " Yugi explained with wide eyes.

Kujirada's Pet's eyes widen in horror as a very strong intimidating power came from U2. U2 raised it's head as it's mouth widen to show four rows of long nightmarish fangs, a glowing seen eye symbol on it's forehead and U2 now looked more like Yami than that of Yugi. U2 snarled deeply as it pulled it's arm back as it made a tight fist before suddenly punching Kujirada's pet so hard that it's body was vaporized instantly from the sheer brute force. U2 stood their with a wide victorious grin on it's face.

"Nooo!!!! My ultra rare hidden character pet has been destroyed by a common character pet!!!" Kujirada screamed as he took his now empty digital pet back from Yugi's. Kujirada turned only to pale as the very angry owners of the pets that his monster pet had eaten stood there cracking their fists. Kujirada screamed as he ran away as the students gave chase after him. They would avenge their fallen digital pets one way or another.

Yugi looked down at U2 as he powered down turning back to his cute adorable self as it happily beeped up at him. "I wonder what Anu would look like if he ever evolved?" Yugi asked softly under his breath as a terrifying image of Anu's evolved from appeared in his mind. "On second thought...maybe it's better if I don't know. " Yugi laughed nervously to himself as William entered the room.
