Hi everybody! I am writing the last chapter before I go to-I mean , ON, vacation. Ha, thought I was going to tell you where I was going, didn't you? I AM SO PISSED!!!! The damned TV guide that we get from the newspaper because me da is to cheap to BUY one had the times wrong for Yugioh, AND I MISSED THE FIRST EPISODES OF BATTLE CITY!!! I think. I don't know, because I DIDN'T SEE THEM!!! AHHHH! I missed the episode of Inu Yasha where Miroku first appeared, too. Last week was NOT my week for TV. And with MY luck, I probably will miss ALL the new eps for TWO or THREE weeks!! This SUCKS!!! *pant pant pant* OK, I'm all better now. Sorry for the little rant, but I had to get it out of my system. Anyway, on to the replies to everybody's reviews:

SetoHater-YamiLover: Sorry, but remember that this is still the first day, even if I have packed a LOT of stuff into it, so it wouldn't really be reasonable to have too much romance the day that they first met! I promise that I will put in some romance, just not yet, OK? And I don't really mind the long rants/reviews. Did you watch The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings? I like to sit and point out things that people have changed or not put in movies, too. My current sit-and-complain-because-they-left-out-or-changed- so-damned-much movie is Harry Potter #1. whole reason I watch the damned thing. Probably going to be the same for #2, which I haven't seen yet because I'm too lazy and po' to afford to pay to see it unless I call in favors from the manager @ the theatre.

Yugilover13: OK, come on, who can resist The Yuugi Puppy Eyes Look? The WHOLE reason for typing this chapter is The Look. Just for you. (PG: Yeah, and the fact that if you didn't you'd feel guilty all your vacation for not updating, because you said you would. Me: Yeah, yeah, shut up!)

OH! I just remembered. If you want me to mail you when I put up the next chapter, just leave it with you reviews or mail me with it at parrisite@earthlink.net, ok? I think that I have completely SCREWED the order of my chapters, and lost my whole prologue w/disclaimer, so here: If you've seen it on TV or heard it on radio or read it in something officially published by some reputable company, IT'S NOT MINE!!! Just in case I decide to do some weird crossover or anything, but I don't think I will. And someone please tell me, how did Bakura (as opposed to Ryou, the "good" Bakura that is the ONLY Bakura in the Dubbed TV Series) get back to Ryou from the Shadow Realm where the Pharaoh Banished him? Didn't the Reaper of the Cards get him? This is never explained in the TV show, Ryou just suddenly starts acting "strange" again and we discover that it's Bakura back. Just wondered.

Yuugi's a Girl?!

Ideas for chapter title?

"I LOST? How could that be? No one has ever assembled all five pieces of Exodia before. I LOST." He stumbles away, muttering to himself, but Yuya and Yami stopped him.

"You lost because you didn't believe in the Heart of your Cards. You need to have something to fight for, besides power or money or cards. I was fighting for my grandfather's honor, and against you, because of the insult you dealt him, which is why I won. BELIEVE in something, Kaiba, or you will never win against me." Yami did the 'open your mind' thing. Kaiba becomes even more confused. A little boy runs over. His long black hair is really messed up, and he is yelling, "Big brother! Big brother!"

"What happened to you, big brother? What did they do? I'll never forgive you for doing this to my brother, Yuya! Let's go, Seto." Mokuba starts to lead him away, but Yami and Yuya stop him.

"Are you Mokuba? We did not do anything to him, we merely opened his mind. He will not be so confused later." Yami tells him.

"I don't care! What you did was wrong! How could you do it?" Mokuba yells, then drags Kaiba away. "I'll get you for this!" ****6.00 pm, right after the duel and Mokuba dragged Seto off. Meanwhile, we see a strange, white-haired guy. "Inu Yasha! Let me go home! My mom probably thinks I'm dead! I haven't been back for a week, and I need to take my tests! My Grampa probably told everybody that I have Leukemia or something!"

Inu Yasha's cute doggy ears flattened to his head. "Like I care, wench! We have to go get more Shikon shards, or do you want Naraku to get the whole jewel?! Miroku and Sango are counting on you to-" Oops, sorry, WRONG strange, white-haired guy. Back to the REAL strange, white-haired guy.

Meanwhile, we see a strange, white-haired guy. Somebody walks up and says, "Mr. Pegasus, Seto Kaiba has just been defeated in a duel!"

"Hmm, interesting. And who defeated him, Croquet? Anyone we know?"

"No, sir! A complete unknown, by the name of Yuya Mouto. As far as we can discover, she has never fought in a registered duel before!"

"Hmm. VERY interesting. I think I will have to... pay a visit to this... Yuya Mouto." ****6.00 pm, right after the duel and Mokuba dragged Seto off. We see a strange guy in a cloak. "Hmm, this... Yuya Mouto has Exodia? She will be worth watching..." ****6.00 pm, right after the duel and Mokuba dragged Seto off. "Yuya! Great job!" "Yuya, I'm so proud of you!" Yami and Grampa exclaimed at the same time.

Yuya blushed. "Thank you, Yami and Grampa. I'm kinda happy, myself. When's your duel, Yami?"

He inspected the screen. "Tomorrow, at noon."

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm-" Yuya was interrupted by a shaggy- haired blond guy, a black-haired girl, and a guy with pointed hair.

"That was so neat! You KILLED Kaiba! Great job! I could NEVER beat Kaiba!" the shaggy blond one shouted.

"Just because you can't beat anyone, Joey, doesn't mean no-one else can't. But this time you are right. Great Job!" the pointy-haired guy said.

"Oh, come on Joey, Tristan, can't we all just be friends?" the girl asked. "Kaiba can't be ALL bad, otherwise why would his brother like him so much?"

"NO! I don't know!" Tristan and Joey shout in unison. "Come on Tea, give it a rest." Joey added. Tea just sighed, apparently used to their arguments and complaints.

"You duel very well," Tea said to Yuya, ignoring the boys, "unlike THESE two bakas (idiots)."

"Well, th-thank you," Yuya stammers, kind of surprised by the comments from people she didn't know, "but how did you know that I beat Kaiba?"

"It was on the TV throughout the store. NOBODY likes Kaiba (PG: Except for us and all those RFG! [rabid fan girls]) so everybody was happy to see him stomped into the ground, especially Joey." She leaned toward Yuya, and whispered, "Kaiba challenged him to a duel in FIRST GRADE, and beat him horribly, and called him a puppy dog, and Joey's hated him ever since." She leaned back, rolled her eyes, and added in her regular tone of voice, "Boys can be such bakas sometimes."

#Hey! I'M not a baka! Am I, Yuya?# Yami asked Yuya.

#No. I'm pretty sure that Tea was just talking about Joey and Tristan, and that she didn't really mean it. She's just exasperated with them right now.# Yuya thought back.

"I know what you're talking about. We were just going to go home and eat, do y'all want to come?" Yuya asked Tea.

"Well, we don't want to impose-"Tea was interrupted by Joey.

"FOOD? Yeah, we'd love to come! Where do you live? Will it take long to get there? How long will it take to get the food? What kind-ow ow OWWW! What did you do that for?!" Joey asked, glaring at Tea, who had just grabbed his ear and pulled him away from Yuya.

"Because it looked like that guy-" she motioned to Yami "-was about to kill you for yelling at Yuya and getting in her face. And you were being very rude."

Yuya blushed (she sure seems to be doing that a lot in this fic) and said, "Oh, don't worry about Yami, he wasn't going to do anything like that, and really, I don't mind if you come and eat with us. In answer to your questions, Joey, about 4 blocks from the mall, no, 15 minutes, and Japanese." #Yami, you wouldn't really have done anything to Joey, would you? He didn't mean anything by it.#

Yami looked sheepish. #No, I guess not, if you don't want me to. Are they coming over?#

#I don't know. I'll find out!# "So, Tea, Joey, Tristan, are y'all coming over or what?"

Tristan answered, "Sure, but you will need to get LOTS of food for Joey the chow hound. He-"

"DON'T CALL ME A DOG!!!!" Joey yelled, loud enough for the whole store to hear. Everybody stopped and stared at him. "Ooops. That was a little loud." He turned tomato red. "Let'sleavenowokay." He pushed everybody out the door. ****They are now at Yuya's apartment, and the food has just arrived. *DING DONG* "THE FOOD'S HERE!" Joey galloped down the hall to the door, opened the door, threw money at the delivery boy, grabbed the food, and ran into the kitchen, in 3.14159 seconds. "LET'S EAT LET'S EAT LET'S EAT!!!"

"Joey, calm down! Everybody has to eat, and we need to take the food out of the cartons first, OK?" Tristan asked slowly, as if Joey is stupid (as if?!).

"Duh! I know that! Hey, what's this? Oden? Who ordered the oden?"

"ODEN! ODEN ODEN ODEN ODEN! MY oden! Gimmie!" Yuya grabs the oden and snarfs it faster than you can say 'Eeeeekk! Save me from the oden-obsessed one!' everyone stares at her and she gets the sweatdrop. What?! I like oden!" she says defensively.

"Did you see that Joey? She could probably give you a run for your money at a oden-eating contest!" Tea said teasingly.

Everybody finishes eating, and Joey, Tea, and Tristan go home. "Thanks for inviting us to your apartment!" "thanks for the food!" "See you at school tomorrow!"

Yuya looks at Yami. #I don't know about you, but I'm tired. Let's go to bed. I'll show you your room.#

#OK.# Yuya shows him his bedroom, and his eyes widen. #It's all in Black!#

#Yeah, is that all right?# she asks anxiously. #I thought you liked black.#

#I do! This is the greatest room! Thank you!# Yami hugs her in gratitude, and Yuya blushes.

#You're welcome.#
