Himiko: Ami, you ready? You're finally in a chapter.

Ami: Good.

Joey: Can we start?

Himiko: Ok. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or InuYasha. Why do I say InuYasha, you ask? Because the demons in the fic resemble those of InuYasha, not Yu Yu Hakusho (well, maybe Kurama is an exception) So, there ya go. But, I do own Ami (pronounced Amy) and Ken.

Chapter 3: Joey's Secret and Ami's Discovery

"I dunno, Yug. I'm just not ready to go back. Ya know, me being a demon now?" The boy backed up, nearly making Yugi crash. "Oww! Joey!" Joey smiled, "Hehe..sorry.." Yugi rubbed his head. "It's nothing. Just..go...in!" He tried to push Joey into the door. "Come on! We need...to get...you..inside!" He had finally gotten the nervous demon-boy inside. They met Ami Fisher by her locker. "Hey Yugi! Hey Joey! What's up?"

Ami had known Yugi, Tristan, Joey, and Tea since her first day at Domino High School. She was a loner on the first day, but only because she was shy. But someone had tripped her, making her fall and drop her books. She started to pick them up when Joey walked up and helped her. He later introduced her to Yugi, Tristan, and Tea. From then on, they were the best of friends.

"Yugi, were you just trying to push Joey through the door?" Ami asked. Yugi and Joey exchanged clueless looks, then came back to Ami. "Uhh..yeah..about that.." Ami kept staring blankly. "You're hiding something, aren't you?" Yugi and Joey showed the same dumb expressions, and looked at Ami again. "Uhhh...well...Joey just didn't want to come to school today." Joey gave his friend an angry look. "Yugi!" he beamed. "Well, it's better than lying." the boy replied.

"Right..." Ami nodded. "Well, we better get going. We'll be late for algebra!" Joey made a face. "Darn. I hate algebra." Tristan popped in from between Ami and Yugi. "Well, it's not your best subject." Joey scratched his head. "Nah, not really." He tied his shoe and walked on to his algebra class.

Later that night, Joey sat in his room, fumbling with a Duel Monster card, Red Eyes Black Dragon. "Darn." He kept fumbling with it. "Why couldn't I look like you? Now I'm a dogboy for sure!" He didn't sound too happy to be a demon. "If I was gonna be a demon, I could've at least been a dragon type thing, not a dog!" (A/N: Cue Anime waterfall crying thing...^_^) He hung his head in disappointment.

Ami watched from Joey's window. She gasped when she saw him transform into his demon form. "Oh..." Her eyes were wide open, her hand over her mouth. "Joey? I don't believe it! Is that really him?" She was unsure of what she had seen. She leaned closer, and fell through the open window.

"Huh? Ami!" Joey yelled frantically, seeing that Ami had discovered him. Ami giggled. "Hehe...oops. Sorry?" Joey was still frantic. "Ami, it's not what you think! Okay, it kinda is, but-" He noticed the black-haired girl still on his bedroom floor, face-first, sobbing. "Aw, come on, Ami! It's not that freaky! Well, okay, it is, but I didn't expect it! Come on, just 'cause I'm a demon now, dosen't mean I've changed at all! I'm not gonna kill you!" The nervous girl lifted her head. "You're...sure?" Joey looked happier. "Yup! I'd never dream of actually killing anyone, despite my tough attitude!" Ami also lightened her mood. "Okay. I might be able to help." She examined Joey closely, taking a book from her red bookbag. "Yup. It's just as I thought. You're a hanyou." Joey looked confused. "And that means...what?" Ami giggled. "Half-demon," she said in reply. "I guess that works, at least I'm still part human." Ami looked at the hanyou boy. "Well, yeah. Either way, you ought to study! There's a history exam tomorrow! And I've gotta go home!" Joey snapped his fingers. "Aw, nuts. Okay. Well, see ya." Ami smiled. Joey smiled back at the thought that Ami could keep a secret.
