ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE!

Hello people! This is my first fanfic so please no flames... yet. Anyways, like the summary said, one days I had a liiiiiitle too much sugar, it'll be hyper-crazy and people might just go on raids and junk... :P and when I'm serious about it, it will be pretty cool (hopefully). *looks over shoulder* hey Dark Magician... Dark Magician? *where'd he run off to?* *calls Yami* Yes I too have a Yami :P So there. It came in this little armband thing-a-ma-jig... *points to right upper arm* See? *has eye of Anubis* Pretty cool, huh? O yeah, hey Yami?

My POV

Ok, so maybe my life isn't perfect. I'm one of the top ten Duelists around... and have made some pretty cool friends in my new school, Domino High, but... maybe my parents would pay a bit more attention to me... Oh well. Hey, my Yami is pretty cool, though. She's like a mother to me. No, closer than a mother. Yeah whatever. Too much sob, not enough time. I've got to meet Yugi and everyone at the Game Shop...

"Hey Yugi!" I shout as I walk into the Game Shop. Every morning before school, Joey, Tristan, Yugi, Tea and I meet here then go to school.

"Hey!" He shouted back. Turns out Joey was in the back gulping down some breakfast leftovers... that's Joey for you. Always hungry. "What's up?"

"Nothing much, really... A bit more tired than usual... but pretty cool." I flipped my hair a bit, considering it was a bit warm in the Shop this morning and my long black and blue hair wasn't up like usual. My collar shifted a bit, and something caught Yugi's attention.

"Hey, Li?" He asked, and pointed to my collar. "What's that?"

I looked down and saw a fresh bruise; 'Well, that's the attention my parents give me... the ONLY attention,' I almost said, but held back. I couldn't tell my friends what was wrong... I hate it when people worry over me... I pulled my collar up a bit. "Oh, that? Um... That's nothing. I just kinda fell this morning... I wasn't really awake yet, and you know me, always hurtin' myself." I gave a large grin to Yugi to try and hide my feelings.

/Aibou, why don't you just tell them? They should know... they could help!/ My Yami cried from my Item. She usually slept in her Soul Room until about fourth period, but this morning's beatings woke her up. Unlike Yugi's Yami, mine couldn't help me as well...

\No, Yami... They would worry too much. I will tell them if it gets too serious.\ I could 'feel' my Yami shake her head inside of me, but reluctantly, she didn't pursue the argument further.
"We ready to go?" Yugi asked. I nodded and Joey came out of the kitchen with eggs on his face, followed by Tristan. Tea came in the front door then.

"Man, Joey, you should really BREATHE when you're eating..." Tristan said.

"Yeah, yeah... hey, Li, what's up?" Joey gave me a big smile. He's really good at big smiles. You know the kind that you just can't help smiling back at? Those.

"Nothing. Let's go already! We'll be late!" I backed out the door and held it open for everyone else. They exited, and I followed them to school. I sighed. 'Yet another day in the life if Li Mitome...'

Yugi turned around backwards to face me, but kept walking at the same time. "Li, something wrong?"

"Huh? Oh, no... not at all!" I again showed a big grin that was making my reputation for 'Happiest Teen' at Domino High. If only they knew...
