There she was again in class, drawing in that notebook. Tristan had said she was drawing what happened in the shadow game there. Yet the book was almost full now. How could she draw that much on one event, even as strange and scary as it was?

An took something out of her bag looked at it, with her shoulders shaking she wiped tears from her face.

"Are you okay?" Ryou asked worriedly.

An looked at Ryou surprised. "Huh? Oh yeah, fine, fine."

The teacher was off ill for some reason so they were given a free lesson. Seto didn't seem too worried about her. But with her shaking shoulders and the way she would wipe her arm across her face, Ryou and Yugi as well as Joey Tristan and Tea felt that had to see what was wrong.

She was reading a letter with a photo held to it with a paperclip.

"An?" Yugi said. She looked up at the group. She wasn't crying at all.

In fact she was trying really hard, but with only partial success not to burst into hysterics. Not being able to explain to herself she gave them the photo.

It was of Mary tied to a lamppost. The twins' ethers side. All three of them had their heads shaven and the boys were wearing dresses. There was a sign around the girl's neck. It was written in English so they couldn't read it. Ryou could but he didn't get what the message meant to An. For a moment it looked like An had calmed down but it was Anhai.

"An's old friends remember her." Then Anhai turned to Yugi. "Unlike mine."

An was back then a shocked look on her face.

"Yugi, I'm sorry, she...she didn't mean it she's just..."

"Yami understands." Yugi said waving off the apology.

An turned back to the letter and smiled.

"I swear, if Mill were a boy I'd date her. She's coming to visit, will you can with me to see her, I'd like my old friend to meet my new friends."

"So we are still your friends?" Tristan asked.

"I just said so didn't I." An said.

They waited at the airport, the plane was half an hour late.

"I'd swear Mill would be late to her own funeral." An muttered.

"Err, since we got time I'd better ask, are we going to tell her about the Yami's?" Yugi asked.

An smiled shyly. "We'd better not."

"AAAAAANNNNNN!!!!"

Suddenly An was on the ground. Yugi and Ryou blushed and looked away. Joey and Tristan were down right staring. Tea pretended she didn't know them.

"Argh! Mill get OFF ME!" An tried to squirm away.

"Make me." Mill said and kissed An on the nose.

Mill wore a dress that resembled some of Yugi's shirts, the ones that's all belts and silver buckles. Her black lipstick left a mark on the pinned An's nose.

An frowned. "You asked for it."

Quite suddenly Mill was under An who wasted no time standing up and smoothing out her clothes. Black leather trousers, and a grey t-shirt. Now Tea, Joey and Tristan got a good look at Mill, she looked just like Ryou, well save for the fact she was a girl of course, and she had green eyes.

An offered her hand to help Mill up. "Did you have to tackle me?"

"I haven't seen you two months and you wear that!" Mill pointed to her trousers. "What do you expect me to do?"

"Err..." Joey found his voice, at last. "Why don't you introduce us?"

An smirked at the effect Mill had on the boys, Yugi and Ryou, still hadn't looked back.

"Mill the blond drooling boy is Joey Wheeler, the drooling brunet is Tristan, the girl, don't even think of hitting on her Mill, is Tea Gardener, the boy with the pointy hair is Yugi Moto and the white haired boy is Win-...his name is Ryou Bakura"

"Nice to met you." Mill held her hand out. "And Tea don't worry I don't go in for brunettes."

Ryou finally turned around Mill and he stared at each other a moment. "I guess we really do have a double out there somewhere."

"So you and your friends did Mary and her friends up for the photo?" Tristan asked.

"Yep."

"What did that sign say?" Yugi asked.

Mill laughed. "It said. 'No one escapes the Bike chicks.' That's the name of my biker chapter."

"You're a Biker?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah, An is an honorary member, she can't be a real member for two reasons."

"I'm don't go in for girls and I can't ride a bike." An said.

"Come on enough standing around like idiot's lets go and get some food." Joey said.

Ryou blushed. [Err An?]

[Yeah?]

[You have lipstick on you nose.]

An cursed and wiped it off. [I swear one day I'm going to kill her.]

*******************************************************************************

They were in the park, it had been Mill's idea. Unfortunately An had brought her notebook with her and Mill had pinched it.

"Mill give it back!"

"Yeah it's hers!"

Mill held it high above her head and no matter how hard An and Mokuba tried to get it back it stayed just out of reach.

Tristan reached over and took it out of Mill's hands. Now both girls and Mokuba were trying to get it of him. Seto watched this from the shade of a nearby tree. Before turning back to his laptop. Something that looked like a card fell out of the book.

An yelped and dived for it but Tea caught it first.

"The Dark Toon Magician?" She read the card's name. "Hey it's Yugi!"

Save for fact she had made Yugi's hair purple to match the costume the card really was Yugi as the Dark Magician. Yugi didn't look really annoyed.

"I didn't really look like that did I." He asked Joey quietly. Joey saw the card and burst out laughing.

"Man she got you perfect! We save for the hair."

Then Yugi got annoyed. You could see it in his face.

"Sorry Yugi." Joey apologised.

Ryou saw the card and smiled. The first real smile since the shadow game. Meanwhile Mill had tackled Tristan to get the book of him but it had fallen to the ground and landed open too a page covered in pictures of Ryou. Pictures of him as the Change Of Heart card pictures of him in class concentring on his work or gazing sadly out of the window. Pictures of him with his wings spread. The wind caught the page and turned it. The next page was covered too.

The third page had the picture of Ryou as the Reaper of Cards had attacked him in the air. It was mostly black and white save for to things, Ryou's blood and Ryou's eyes. An really had talent for catching emotion in people's eyes.

An ran over and slammed it shut.

Ryou was speechless. Mill and Mokuba was to busy trying to beat up Tristan to have noticed what was going on.

"You really are an incredible artist." Ryou managed to say, trying not to think what he was thinking. He swallowed

"Want to see another funny picture?" An changed the subject, was she blushing too?

"Not me I hope?" Yugi asked.

An opened her book to a two-page spread of Joey, she had drawn the true Flamed Swordsman next making him look small. No as bad as poor Yugi but bad enough for Joey to get annoyed.

"Fine way to show your gratitude!" He huffed.

An smiled and turned the page. It was a colour picture of Joey attacking the Kaminarikozou card. It showed Joey in a much braver and more 'macho' light, it seemed to pacify him.

"Now that's better."

Seto who had been staying out of this was suddenly tackled by Mill, Tristan was brushing grass off his jacket.

"GET OFF." Seto shouted before pushing her off himself. "What was that for?"

Mill looked down at her feet. "Well last time I saw you. You said the day I can speak Japanese is the day your lone me you deck..."

Seto's eyes when wide.

"...And I've been speaking almost perfect Japanese since I've arrived." Mill had Seto's deck in her hand.

"GIVE THAT BACK!" Seto roared.

Mokuba just looked at Mill in shock. "Can you teach me how you did that?"

"Mokuba!" Seto shouted.

"Who's up for a game of Keep Away?" Mill asked.

Seto stood up. "Give it to me now."

Everyone knew he meant business, except Mill apparently.

"The game's called keep away for a reason." Mill ran off.

Seto waited there arms folded and scowl in place until it became evident she wasn't going to get bored if he didn't take part.

"I think she must have had too much sugar, again." An said apologetically. Seto sighed and started chasing her.

"I don't know which one to root for. Seto need to be brought out of himself, then again if Seto kills Mill, she can't embarrass me anymore." An said.

"How did you meet anyway your...well different to say the least." Yugi asked.

"The same way Andrew and I met Seto. The orphanage."

A loud splash cut off anymore conversation. The group ran to see what had happened.

Mill was rolling on the grass laughing, the cards forgotten on the ground. Seto was pulling him self out of the pond, well it was a lake really.

/What's wrong with Joey?/ Anhai asked.

An saw what Anhai had noticed in the corner of her vision. Joey with his mouth open and a very prominent blush on his face. More so than when Mill had tackled An in the airport.

/Oh my...I think.../

An walked over to Joey.

/You think what? What's so funny?/

An stopped walking.

/How did you know I find this funny?/ An asked Anhai.

/We are two halves of the same soul remember?/

/I'm still getting use to that./

"He An come on! It's not like you to zone out." Mill called to her.

/Great now I've missed my chance. /

An deliberately fell behind the group. Mill stayed back with her.

[Did you notice Joey?] Mill asked.

[Yeah...I thought he was going to have a nosebleed!] An giggled.[I think, we are going to have to do something about it.]

[Tomorrow?] Mill asked.

[No!] An stopped dead. [Do you know what Tomorrow is?]

The whole gang looked back at her worriedly at her out burst.

[But...that's tomorrow.] An said more in control. [Lets enjoy today.]

Mill looked worried to.

"Well? What are all of you looking at? Aren't we meant to be having fun today?" An asked.
