Next chapter.
Warnings: It's kinda an AU, and I think I bash Tea later on, it's not like I try to, but I can't pick on anyone else. Also, there's a new millennium item.
Pairings: Yami/Yugi (for all you fans out there), Joey/OC

Chapter One
"Say Yugi," Joey began, "Let's see your Dark Magician again." He said as he and his friends walked down the street towards the school. Yugi pulled out his Duel Monsters deck and handed them to Joey. The Dark Magician, who happened to be Yugi's favourite sat on the top. "That is a nice card. It's rare too." Joey grinned handing the deck back.
"And you always win with it!" Tea smiled cheerfully as she looked at her friend.
Yugi smiled back. "I couldn't do it without Yami." He shrugged modestly, patting the Millenium puzzle that hung around his neck.
"Sure you could." Joey teased as the puzzle began to glow and the spirit within switched places with Yugi.
"Pardon me?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at Joey who grinned sheepishly.
"I was only jokin' man! Lighten up! Sheesh." Joey mumbled as Yugi and the spirit switched again.
Yugi giggled. "Better watch it Joey." He warned.
"Yeah, you and Yami will probably end up in a duel and we all know who'd with that one." Tristan mumbled to himself.
"I heard that!" Joey glared at his friend. As the two of them began to argue, Tea and Yugi continued on their way.
"Hey Yugi, why doesn't Yami like to be seen with us in public?" She asked casually.
Yugi smiled as he rolled his eyes, knowing his friend had a slight crush on his alter ego. "I don't know Tea, maybe he's just not a people person." He shrugged as he looked down at the puzzle. It glowed for an instant and Yami appeared beside Yugi.
The spirit looked back at Tristan and Joey who were still fighting and hadn't noticed that the others had moved on. He sweatdropped. "Those two are impossible." He sighed to himself but got the agreement of both Yugi and Tea.
Suddenly someone came barreling around the corner in front of them and ran straight into Yugi, knocking both of them to the ground. The loud collision was enough to get Joey's and Tristan's attention and the two ran up.
"What happened?" Tristan asked.
"Are you okay Yuge?" Joey asked as he helped the smaller boy to his feet.
"I'm fine Joey." Yugi reassured him then they all turned to the other boy who was just standing up. Yugi had dropped his deck and the cards had been thrown everywhere.
"Why don't you watch where you're goin'?" Joey growled at the stranger.
The boy snorted as he picked up some of the cards and straightened them into a neat pile in his hands while Tea, Tristan and Yugi picked up the others. "Excuse me. A little hard ta watch when what I'm lookin' for is shorter than a garbage can." The boy growled.
"Hey, watch what you say about Yugi!" Joey hissed as the boy handed the cards to Yami. As their fingers touched they both felt electricity shock them.
Jumping back and holding his wrist the boy glared at Yami while Yami glared at the boy, both of them sizing the other up. Having picked up the cards Yugi turned to the stranger, not noticing the conflict between the both of them. "Why were you running so fast?" He asked as Yami handed him back the cards.
The blonde boy blinked comically before shaking his head. "I was bein' chased." He looked behind him but there was nobody there. "Musta given up. Never would 'ave caught me anyway." He grinned to himself.
"Right." Joey rolled his eyes. "Who are ya kid? Shouldn't you be in school or something? The elementary school starts before high school." He sneered.
Aqua eyes turned to Joey, piercing him with a clear gaze. "I wouldn't know that, and even if it was your business and it's obviously not, why would I tell you? Who the hell are you?" He asked.
"Joey Wheeler." Joey replied.
"I'm Tea." Tea said, holding out her hand, trying to be friendly as she could see that Joey was not. "This is Tristan and this is Yugi." She said.
The boy looked at them, studying them and his eyes traveled back to Yami who stood leaning against the side of the building, waiting for this confrontation to be over with.
"The name's Kalei." The boy replied still staring at the spirit. "Look, I'm sorry for bumpin' in ta ya but I gotta scram." He said as he began to walk away.
"Strange kid." Joey mumbled so only his friends could hear.
"He wasn't so bad." Yugi shrugged, replacing his deck back into its pack. "You're just too quick to judge Joey." He said as the group began to leave again.
Crimson eyes turned toward the retreating figure, unknowing of the triumphant smirk placed on the occupant's lips as he slipped the card of the Dark Magician into his jacket.
