Note: I have a hard time capturing characters, as you can probably tell. I had Tristan go on a "vacation" because I don't know him at all, sorry! _ Thankies.
"The Sign"
Yugi picked up his phone and called Joey. "Hey, Joey?" He asked as Joey picked up the phone.
"Yeah?"
"I have to do something before school so I'm not going to be able to walk with you guys, okay?"
"Sure, Yuge." Joey answered.
"Can you tell Téa for me?"
"No prob!" Joey said as he hung up.
Yugi hung up too and then smiled. He had a big surprise in store for his friends.
The next day, Yugi got up early and packed his lunch. He was just finishing as Casina walked in with her backpack. "Oh gosh, Yugi. Why does school start this early?" She complained as she yawned.
"So you can get out early." Yugi explained. "Here, I'll pack you some lunch while you eat breakfast."
"Okay, thank you Yugi!" Casina said as she pulled the cereal out of the cabinet.
Casina wolfed down her breakfast just as Yugi finished making her lunch. Casina stopped and stared at Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. It seemed to glimmer even brighter the longer she looked at it. Casina blinked once then twice as it morphed into a person. All that was in Casina's vision now was a person, who she couldn't make out. All of a sudden, a hand shook her. "Casina, Casina!" Casina shook her head and looked up at Yugi.
"Ahh, sorry!" Casina laughed as she rubbed the back of her neck, embarrassed.
"You okay?" When Casina nodded, Yugi handed her a brown paper bag. "Here's your lunch, now let's get going before we're late."
"Right!" Casina nodded and grabbed her bag and lunch. She ran to the door and waited there for Yugi who arrived just a few seconds after. Casina opened the door and stepped outside. "It's such a wonderful day..." she thought as she took in the sights around her. The sky never seemed so blue, and the clouds so fluffy. Trees were vibrant green shades and birds flew among their many leaves, singing. A warm breeze ruffled her school uniform. Casina closed her eyes and breathed in the essence of happiness. She opened her eyes and began running to catch up with Yugi.
They both reached the Domino High School at the same time. Yugi walked ahead and Casina was just a few steps behind him. She glanced around and was suddenly nervous. She hurried up and walked beside Yugi. When they reached the main office, Yugi stepped forward to the secretary. "We're here to see the principal," he explained.
"Right this way," the secretary directed.
Yugi walked down the corridor, and Casina followed, throwing a quick "thank you," behind her shoulder. Yugi knocked on the door of the principal, and then entered.
"Hello, this is the student my grandpa called you about." He said, introducing Casina.
Casina walked in slowly, again looking around and shifting her eyes until they landed on the principal. "Hi," she squeaked, in a tiny voice.
"Hello, miss. I would like to say how surprised I was at your skills, and your grades on all of your tests. Since this is very rare, I would like to give you a week to see if you can keep up with your courses, and if you can, then you may stay at Domino High School."
Casina nodded slowly. "Thank you." She had no clue what else to say.
"Yes, you will be put in all the same classes as this gentleman. I believe that covers everything."
"Thanks." Yugi and Casina said at the same time.
"Now, hurry off, and give this note to all your teachers." The principal said, giving Casina a note, then she looked down at her calendar.
Casina bolted out and Yugi followed. "Here, you can put your things in my locker until your week is up. Then you'll get your own." Yugi said.
"Thanks."
As they entered, Casina walked over to the homeroom teacher and handed her the note. She had a small conversation with her while Yugi walked over to Joey and Téa.
Joey smiled, "Hey Yuge!"
Téa waved then looked beyond him toward Casina. "What's she doing here?" She asked in a confused voice.
"She's going to school here from now on." Yugi said, smiling. "Can you believe it? Casina passed the entrance exam with flying colors. I'm proud of her."
"What the-?" Joey stammered. "Is that-"
"Oh my gosh!" Téa was shocked.
"Hi Joey, hi Téa!" Casina said as she walked over. "I'm in your class now."
"Well," Joey didn't know what to say. "That's great!"
"Yes, it's wonderful." Téa added.
Casina found a seat next to Yugi and sat down as class began. "Wow, this is so scary but so cool all at the same time!" She thought to herself. After attendance, and everyone staring at her, Casina began to wonder where Bakura was. "I wonder why Bakura hasn't shown up yet?" She stared at the door until finally, Bakura stumbled in.
"You're LATE!" The homeroom teacher screeched at him. Bakura looked like he couldn't care less. He managed to get down the aisle and into his seat, and winced as a detention slip was slapped onto his desk.
"Bakura, are you okay?" Casina whispered to him, staring. Bakura had a black eye, a split lip, and several other injuries.
Bakura glanced at Casina's worried face and shrugged, not caring. He zoned off eventually. "I wonder what happened to him..." She thought.
After school, Casina decided to stay and ask her teachers a few questions. Yugi wasn't sure if it was a good idea. "What if something happens?" He asked.
"I'll walk her home." Bakura volunteered, "I have detention anyway."
Yugi seemed unsure. Then he looked at Casina's adorable puppy face and sighed. "Okay, but be back soon."
"Bye Téa, bye Joey, bye Yugi! See you soon!" Casina followed them to the door, waved, and then hurried off to her teacher.
When she arrived in her first class, Bakura was there writing out 100 times, 'I will not be late'.
Casina took her new textbook out of her backpack and went to ask her teacher a few questions about the following lessons. Pretty soon, all of Casina's questions were answered. She sat down next to Bakura who was on the 97th sentence. "I'll meet you at the door," she said and ran to Yugi's locker to get her coat and things. She opened the locker and then saw someone behind her, turning around; she gasped as an older kid towered over her. "Hi." Casina squeaked out and tried to move. The person slammed his hand next to her head.
"Go back to preschool," he growled, throwing her bag down the hall.
Casina stared at him, and then something began to glow in her hand. With one shove, Casina sent him flying into the other wall, knocking him out. She gathered her books and fled out the door to wait for Bakura.
Bakura was standing right around the corner, and had seen everything. He was shocked, and his Yami suddenly appeared. "There is something with that girl." He said, looking at the boy she had shoved across the hall. "And she knows something about the Millennium Items," he paused for a second then a smile spread over his face. "I have an idea..."
