"OK, what's the plan then?" Sierra asked irritably from the corner of Yugi's bedroom. Yugi had managed to convince Solomon to let her sleep over for a few days, and this was their first night in figuring out what the best thing to do was. Hayley and Yugi had been talking quietly between themselves while sat on the floor, and Yami spent half-an-hour death- glaring Sierra from the opposite corner of the room.

"Give us a minute!" Hayley said sharply. Yugi looked at Yami, then back to Hayley.

"I think he's broken the record for glaring at a single person." he said quietly. Hayley nodded.

"Yeah, it's like he's got something major against Sierra!" she replied bluntly. She turned to the two yamis. "We're not gonna be able to figure this out unless you two move your asses over here and help!"

"It would help if *he* didn't keep death-glaring me!" Sierra responded quickly.

"I still don't trust you." Yami said simply. He walked over to Hayley and Yugi and sat down with them anyway. Sierra followed a few seconds after, looking weirdly at Yami.

"So, any ideas?" Yugi asked the other three. Hayley shook her head tiredly.

"I think we should find out who's behind this." Sierra said confidently. Yami looked at her. (DD: Wow, he stopped looking at her for couple of minutes! @_@)

"And how do you suggest we do that?" he asked spitefully. Yugi looked suspiciously at Yami.

/Yami, quit being so suspicious!/

//I don't trust her!//

/I don't care if you want her kicked out of the house! She's here to help stop our Millennium Puzzle from being stolen!/

//...//

/Fine, be that way./

"Hey, Yugi?" Yugi looked towards Hayley, who was looking worried. "Do you think we'll we able to stop who's tryin' to steal our Items?"

"Yeah, we'll stop them. Don't worry about it!" Yugi replied cheerfully.

\What do think Sierra?\

\\I say we stand a good chance with the King of Games helping us.\\

\Good, I was hoping you'd say that.\ (DD: This part goes nowhere, so don't worry about it for now. ~_~)

Hayley yawned tiredly, then leaned backwards with her back resting on Yugi's bed. "I'm tired. How about we get some shut eye and hopefully tomorrow we'll figure this all out."

"Yeah, no one can think straight when they're tired." Yugi agreed. "Hayley, will you be OK with the sleeping bag?"

"Yeah sure!" Hayley replied.

***

After Yami and Sierra had returned to their Items, Yugi and Hayley were sorting out the sleeping bag.

"So, what are you doing tomorrow?" Yugi asked. "I've got school, how about you?"

"Well, I thought I may as well go to school like you. There's no point me lounging around with some jackass after me! Well, good night!"

"Night!" Hayley smiled slightly, then closed her eyes and almost immediately fell asleep. Her Millennium Band began to glow softly. (DD: Ooooohhh... @_@ I love ruinin' the mood! Sorry 'bout that useless A/N. ~_~)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hayley looked around her surroundings. It was dark, with a light fog drifting up to her waist. 'Where the hell am I?' she thought, beginning to get worried. 'Maybe if I start walking around this place, I'll find a way out...' She began to search around the area she was in, but found no sign of anything else being there.

"Hello?" she called out into the darkness. No one responded. "Anyone there? Sierra?" Nothing. Hayley sighed, irritated, then sat down on the black floor. 'Man I'm bored...' she thought to herself. 'and where the hell is Sierra?!' she closed her eyes and focused on finding where her yami was. A few seconds later, she snapped her eyes open when she heard a grating laugh from the darkness. She got off the ground quickly and looked around. "Who's there?!" A figure emerged from the fog, and Hayley stepped back.

"Yes, I would back away if I were you, because I'm going to finish you and Yugi Moto." The figure said with a malevolent tone in his voice. It was obvious that it was a male. He began to walk towards Hayley, brandishing a golden staff in his right hand. The blonde began to run in the opposite direction, with the figure racing after her seconds afterwards, beginning to close the gap between them in a matter of seconds...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hayley woke up with a start, sitting up and looking around the room nervously. Yugi was still asleep (DD: Looking exceptionally sweet I might add! ^_^), and there wasn't any sign that he was dreaming anything like she did. 'Man, he sleeps like an angel...' she thought, smiling slightly. The blonde looked around one last time, then fell back onto her pillow.

\Sierra?\

\\...\\

\Hey, Sierra?\

\\...\\

\SIERRA!!!\

\\Huh? What's up? I'm trying to sleep...\\

\Did you sense anything just now?\

\\No, why?\\

\I had a weird dream, that's all.\

\\Oh wow, you woke me for *that*?\\

\Oh shut it!\

\\I'm goin' back to sleep now. I'll talk to you tomorrow.\\

\OK.\

"Come on! You don't wanna be late on your first day at school!" Yugi said, hurrying the blonde up as she put on her school shoes.

"OK, I'm ready!" she came out of living room dressed in the usual pink top, blue bow and light blue short skirt, along with white socks up to her thighs. Yugi could tell her face was bright red. "This is *so* embarrassing!" she cried. Yugi tried his best to hide his smirk, and decided to make her forget about it for now.

"My friend Tea's gonna meet up with me in a minute. OK?"

"Yeah, OK..." They walked outside the shop, where a familiar girl was walking up.

"Hey Yugi!" Tea called at she approached the boy. She looked over at Hayley. "Who's that?" Hayley bowed slightly.

"My name's Hayley." she said politely. Tea smiled.

"I'm Tea, and you don't have to bow to me." she said simply.

"But I want to! I've always wanted to come to Japan, and now I've made friends here too. I want to show my appreciation to the people who live here." (DD: Don't make sense, does it. -_-;;;)

"Com'on, we'd better get to school. We don't wanna be late!" Yugi said, breaking up the conversation. The two girls nodded in agreement and headed off together.

"Class, we have a new student today." the teacher droned as the entire class continued talking. Hayley looked nervously around everyone who was sat there. Then she looked over to where Ryou was sitting. She looked at him and smiled gently. He smiled back. The class had finally shut up, so Hayley introduced herself.

"Hi, my name's Hayley, and I'm from England." she said politely, once again bowing to the whole class.

"Alright Hayley, sit in that empty space just there." he nodded his head over towards the seat in between Yugi and Ryou. (DD: Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. I dunno! @_@) Hayley sat down quietly, then looked at Ryou for a second.

"What are you doing here in Japan?" Ryou asked curiously. The blonde smiled slightly.

"I'll tell ya all about it later, 'kay?" she replied. Ryou nodded.

***

In a dark room, the sorcerer sat in his wing chair and thought about his next form of attack. 'If I can use this holo-device to show my exact location, then I can get them to fall right into my trap...' He looked closely at the small rectangular box. He pressed a button and an image of him in the same hooded cloak appeared. It began talking in a distorted voice, then revealed a map of where he was. The sorcerer smiled maliciously as he ordered another one of his henchmen to deliver it to the game shop for when Yugi and Hayley got back from school.

"So Yug, who's the girl anyway?" Joey asked at lunch while they were walking out of the school to eat lunch on the field. (DD: What I do everyday! ^_^)

"That's Hayley, she has a Millennium Item." Yugi replied simply. Joey gave him a funny look.

"You sure? I thought there were only seven."

"So did I, but she also has a yami, like me and Ryou." Joey stayed quiet after that. (DD: He got confused. ~_~)

"So, why are you here Hayley?" Ryou asked the blonde. They were walking slightly behind everyone else.

"I wanted to do some research on Japanese culture, but I got a li'l side- tracked. It's a long story."

"Oh, right."

"Do you reckon Sierra and Bakura would want to see each other?"

"After what happened last time? I think not!"

"Let's give 'em a reunion anyway!"

"When we get outside."

"Fine." The whole gang arrived outside about a minute later and sat down under a large tree.

"OK, time for introductions." Joey said happily. "I'm Joey Wheeler."

"Tristan Taylor"

"You already know me!" Ryou said, smiling. Yugi looked intrigued.

"Really? You two know each other?"

"Yeah!" Hayley replied. "We used to go to the same school before he came to Japan!" She turned to Ryou. "Reunion?"

"OK then." Hayley's Millennium Band and Ryou's Millennium Ring began to glow, and seconds later, Sierra and Bakura appeared next to their hikaris.

"You!" Bakura said shockedly when he saw Sierra. Sierra smiled cheekily.

"Good to see you Baku-san!" she said happily.

"Don't call me that!" Bakura replied angrily. "I hate it!"

"Now now, that isn't a very nice to greet someone you haven't seen in years." She walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek. "I had that in mind from you, actually." Bakura went bright red, then death-glared Sierra.

"You're gonna pay for that!" he said angrily. Sierra began running away as the silver-haired yami chased her around the field.

"Can't keep your hands off me, can you?!" she called behind her as they continued to run, Bakura getting more furious.

"Let's just ignore them." Hayley said, shooting the two yamis a funny look. Yugi smiled, and his Millennium Puzzle began to glow, Yami appearing next to him.

"Oh, it's her again." he said unimpressedly, looking at Sierra.

"Don't worry, Bakura's keeping her busy." The whole gang looked in their direction again, seeing that Bakura had caught up with Sierra, and was wrestling her to the ground, both of them hurling insults at each other. Hayley sighed.

"I always said those two where made for each other." she groaned, the whole gang sweatdropping.
