"You were attacked?!" Tea couldn't believe her ears. It was the next
day before school and Yugi had finally revieled what had happened to him
the other day. The others couldn't believe their ears either.
"So a throwing star just came out of nowhere and pinned the guy to the dumpster." Tristan thought over the point before Seto burst out laughing. They stared at him intensely.
"What's with you?" Joey asked glaring evily at him. It was obvious he was looking for a fight with Seto. He continued laughing for a while, tears leaking out of his eyes until he finally stopped, gasping for breath.
"I mean come on!" Seto exclaimed trying not to laugh, "A throwing star that went through a dumpster! Yugi!" Seto exclaimed catching his breath, "You're so on crack!" Joey lunged at his throat just as the bell rang and everyone ran off to their different classes, making Joey miss Seto by just a couple of inches.
"Man..." He swore, "I was so close!"

"And so after you pull back the skin and muscle layer of the fish, I'd like you to examine the stomach content of your fish to see if you can identify what it ate last, and what kind of habitat it lived in!" The science teacher droned on as Seto spaced out in class.
*God! This is so boring!* he poked the scapel through the fish's eye, making his lab partner cringe. She had blonde hair put up in little pigtails and obviously wore tons of make-up. Just for the heck of it he popped the eye he had sliced out of the fish's head and 'accidentally' rolled it over in her direction.
Her scream echoed throughout the laugh as she ran over to the garbage can, and threw up. Seto laughed silently to himself as the teacher told everyone to stop what they were doing and accompanied the green tinted girl to the hospital room.
Score 1 for Seto Kaiba, 0 for the school. Finally the teacher came back, but by that time there wasn't enough time to finish the disection and the teacher assigned a question sheet of homework. Seto took one look at it and finished it in about ten seconds. He shook his head and decided to think for the rest of the class and immediatly the picture of the throwing star being hurled towards him flashed through his mind, sending a shiver down his spine.
Suddenly he remembered the other case with Yugi being attacked. Was there any connection between the two cases? His mind slipped to the image of her catching the throwing star, saving his life. Wait a minute....Yugi had been saved too by someone who was adept in throwing star skills.
How come she was involved with this? Was she trying to protect them, or just waiting for the right time to....kill them. The bell rang, shattering his thoughts as he gathered up his things and left to pile his things up in his locker, and head to next class.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Joey ran down the field, panting heavily, sweat running down his face. His best friend Tristan ran beside him as they tried to outrun each other. The oxygen deprivation in their arms and legs screamed for mercy, burning with intense pain, but neither of them would back down. Each of them had to win this race. Off to the side of the field, the rest of the gym class cheered them on, for all of the others were way behind them, and still they continued sprinting.
Suddenly something flashed across the field, something silver. It caught Joey's eye but before he could think of anything else, as it hurdled towards him, it was caught between his legs and he fell flat on his face. Tristan never noticed as he flew right by him to the finish line that was right up ahead and crossed the line, wining the race.
Joey gasped in pain as he hit the ground, hard and loud. His hands were dragged across the rough ground, opening up into many little cuts, and the blood flowed freely out of his hands as his knees hit the ground. The pain was intense, but he bit his lip, trying not to cry out as he skidded a couple of feet and finally stopped. By the time had was able to figure out what had happened, hands were pulling him up and he found himself staring into his gym teacher's face.
"Wheeler, you alright?" he asked sounding very concerned. He noticed his cuts covering his arms and legs and immediatly searched for someone who could bring him to the medical room. His eyes fell upon Yugi and shrugged, Yugi wasn't a key member to the gym class anyways.
"Motoh! Take Wheeler to the medical room." he commanded and Yugi nodded. Joey leaned on him painfully and limped across the field.
"What happened?" Joey through clenched teeth. It felt like he had twisted his ankle.
"Something flew across the field and you tripped on it." Yugi replied.
"What the hell would do that?" Joey asked as they approached the building. Yugi didn't know how to reply and dropped him off at the medical room, too busy thinking to himself. He returned to class and regretfully found out they were doing high jump. Not the best activity for a half pint. He sighed as the gym teacher noticed him and told him it was his turn, since he had missed it. He lined up on the right and ran in a half circle towards the mat, knowing this would probably be hopeless. Left, right, left, and over the....Smack!
He hit the bar and almost landed on the mat, but fell off the side as the bar fell down to the ground in a clatter. He sighed as the gym teacher scowled at him. It was going to be another one of those days.
Joey returned after Yugi had been told to sit out, he was all bandaged up and wanted to participate, but the gym teacher told him to sit off to the side. He had noticed Joey was limping slightly. He had twisted his ankle during the fall and it hurt alot. As the others took their turns, waiting to be eliminated, the bell rang, announcing it was lunch time and they hurried off to get changed out of their gym strip. Changing quickly they met up with the others for lunch.
As they ate their food in the cafeteria amongst alot of talking Joey went through his deck he had left in his locker during gym, not trusting the high crime rate that had been happening lately in the boys change room. One boy had had his whole student uniform stolen once, and had had to go home because he didn't have another one at school. During the middle of winter, walking home in your gym strip hadn't been too fun for the kid.
He shuffled through the rest of his deck and paused. Tristan immediatly noticed the look on his face.
"Something wrong Joey?" He asked.
"I dunno." He replied and frantically shuffled through the deck another time. He shook his head and searched through the deck another time, everyone's eyes were on him now as they noticed a nervous bead of sweat running down his head.
"What's wrong?" Tea asked as Joey looked up, a look of huge shock planted across his face.
"It was here this morning!" He stated trying to make sense of the whole mess.
"Whoa!" Bakura commented, "No need for hypervetilating! What's missing!?" Joey looked him into his eyes, beggingly.
"My Red Eyes, it's gone!"
"So a throwing star just came out of nowhere and pinned the guy to the dumpster." Tristan thought over the point before Seto burst out laughing. They stared at him intensely.
"What's with you?" Joey asked glaring evily at him. It was obvious he was looking for a fight with Seto. He continued laughing for a while, tears leaking out of his eyes until he finally stopped, gasping for breath.
