Chapter 2

1 week later… … …

Serena looked down at her new school uniform, it consisted of a short pleated skirt in different shades of blue, a white shirt which came down just past her elbows with the school logo on it, a navy blue blazer, also with the logo and polished black school shoes with a slight heel and navy knee high socks. (I don't know Dominos girls outfit so I made it up) 'Oh man, I look like a tart!' she thought as she walked in front of the bathroom mirror and twisted her long hair up into a bun at the nape of her neck.

"Serena, come on! We'll be late for school if you don't hurry up!" Yugi called from downstairs.

Serena sighed, and picked up her Bonne Belle shoulder bag, before walking down the stairs, her face burning red as she caught sight of her cousins friends there, and she tried desperately to pull the short skirt down…

"Whoa, Sere-baby," Joey whistled in appreciation, "why didn't you transfer to our school sooner, the uniform suits you!"

Serena blushed further at Joey's comment and found an interesting spot of the carpet to study.

"Idiot!" Tea said knocking Joey upside of the head.

"But he's right…" Tristan pointed out, "she makes the uniform look good!"

"Idiot! That's my cousin you're talking about!" Yugi exclaimed as he gave Tristan and Joey a glare, "and I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about her like she was a piece of meat…" (1)

Serena looked up from the ground and gave Yugi a grateful smile, 'I'm glad Yugi is around, I don't think I'd make it with this crowd if he wasn't…' She glanced at Yugi again and saw that he was smiling back.

Yami watched as Yugi and Serena smiled at each other, 'what is it about her? Why do I feel as if I know her? The answer is right infront of me and yet I can't put my finger on it…' he gazed at Serena and an image of a young girl in the peasants shift and bondage gold anklet came to him before it disappeared just as quickly as it had come. Shaking his head Yami cleared his thoughts and picked up his back pack, ready for another day of sleeping during class since, given how long he'd been around he kinda knew everything that was taught at school but had to go for appearances sake like Bakura.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Serena sat in class, a far away expression on her face, it had been two hours since she'd been introduced to 10D, the English Lit class, (English lit is a V.C.E subject) and already she found her focus shifting to a little under a year ago, on the thirtieth of July, her fifteenth birthday. Every one had turned up early, every one that is, but Darien, he didn't bother to show up at all or even ring to let her know he wouldn't be able to make it…

She'd waited for three hours for him to show, but he never did…

Tears came to Sere's eyes in class and she cradled her head in her arm as she remembered what had happened next…

Flash Back…*

"I've got you know Sailor Failures!" the monster screamed as it unleashed a barrage of dark coloured lightening like daggers. "No one will save you now…"

"Serena! No!!!" Andrew shouted as he jumped infront of the onslaught meant for her. He'd known for awhile now that she was Sailor Moon, and yet he risked his life for her…

"Andrew…!" Serena cried as he was suspended in midair screaming from the pain.

"Forget him for the moment Sailor Moon!" Mars shouted from the side, "just dust the monster, than we will see to his wounds."

Serena nodded her head slightly and pulled out her moon scepter, after doing a few intricate spins and arm movements to power up she called out, "Moon Scepter Elimination!" before she rushed to Andrews's side and cradled his head in her lap.

"I promised a long time ago that I'd never let you get hurt, Serry" Andrew said with a cough, "and I'm glad I kept that promise."

Serena smiled at Andrew, before she touched his forehead gently, letting the energy from the Silver Crystal float over him, and heal his wounds.

* End Flash Back *

"Miss Tsukino, are you paying attention to me?" Mrs. Hanmer asked, (don't ask she's my lit teacher and a complete bitch!)

Serena looked up at the steaming teacher and gulped slightly, a chorus of snickers could be heard coming from the back as the new girl was getting in trouble. "Yes…"

"Well then, could you kindly tell me what Shakespeare means when he says, 'Two star-crossed lovers?'"

Serena breathed a sigh of relief as she heard the question, this class was going to be an easy pass, she'd studied Shakespeare last term and got easy A+, much to the shock of her class mates and Ms Haruna… "He means that even the stars are against their union, Ms."

Mrs. Hanmer's mouth seemed to hang open as Serena answered the question correctly. Before she gave her a small glare, "That is correct, now could you please read the prologue too us…"

Serena sighed and rolled her eyes, before picking up her copy of Romeo and Juliet and starting to read…

"Two households both alike in dignity

In fair Verona where we lay our scene

Where ancient grudge break to new mutiny

And civil blood makes civil hands unclean… … …"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yami sat down at the back of the French class, his patience wearing, twice already he'd been pulled up by teachers for not paying attention, and just because he was a Duelist Champion didn't mean he could afford to slack of in his studies! 'Man, what are these teachers on? Permanent PMS?'

"Can I sit here?" a girl asked walking up behind Yami and gesturing to the empty seat beside him.

"Sure…" Yami muttered as he turned around to find Serena standing there. "Hang on wait, what are you doing in the year 12 French class, shouldn't you be in the year 10 one?" he questioned as he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"No… well I was there, but then the teacher cracked it, saying that since I was such a smart aleck and corrected his mistakes he wouldn't teach me… So the co-ordinators sent me here…" she explained with a shrug.

Yami shrugged and turned his attention back to the front of the class, where Mr. Le Grand (my old French teacher…) with his fish eyes, and grating Canadian accent (well it is!) had come to stand. "Bonjour classe!"

"Bonjour…" the class muttered, sounding like they'd rather be anywhere but there.

"Ah, I see we have a new student"

Serena nodded and stood up, "Oui, je m'appelle Serena…"

Mr. Le Grand nodded, and sat at the front behind the desk, before he pulled out a stack of essays and called students names out asking them to come forth to collect their corrected work.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Serena breathed a sigh of relief as the final bell rang; finally she was home free! One day and already she had a tone of homework. 'Stupid maths teacher, if he let us do it in class instead of explaining everything ten times over, there wouldn't be a need to do it for homework…' she thought grudgingly, as she was pushed into walls by people who wanted to get to their lockers.

Finally having reached her locker, and stacked the maths, Lit and French homework into her bag, Serena stumbled out of the school and down the steps. She was supposed to meet Yugi and the gang at the front entrance, but she didn't really feel like hanging around and being a third wheel again in their conversations about Duel Monsters, which she personally couldn't care less about. So turning around she made for the east side entrance to the school, extracting her personal mp3 and CD player on the way and hooking it into her ears to hear the soothing sound of her Mix. Which consisted of Good Charlotte, Gus and Frank, Simple Plan and Blink 182.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the new girl from Juuban, the know it all hows about we teach how much we appreciate smart alecks at this school" the tall boy drawled, pushing his blond hair out of his eyes carelessly and blowing out a puff of cigarette smoke.

"Yeah, we don' like being shown up none…" the second one said, looking her up and down with his brown eyes, "specially by a girl"

The first boy walked up to her casually and blew cigarette smoke in Serena's face, "This will be a lesson you won't forget soon…" before he punched her swiftly in the gut.

Serena's eyes watered, as she looked up at him the pain going through her belly stronger than period pains, as a slow smile spread across her face. "Didn't your mother ever teach you not to hit girls? Coz you know they hit back twice as hard!" she replied in a snarl as she punched him effectively in the face, breaking his nose and roundhouse kicking him in the stomach, 'All those lessons with Haruka and Lita paid off, I wish they could see me now…'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"FIGHT!!!!" a boy cried as rushing to the front of the school, catching the attention of the crowd there, "the new girls beating the crap out of Kris and Jason!" before he rushed back the way he had come, most of the crowd taking off after him.

Yugi looked worriedly at Yami, Joey and Tea before following the rest of the students 'Serena, you better not get hurt…'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So what do you guys think? And in answer to people's questions, yes this will be a Serena/Yami fic.

Piece of meat is in Gus and Franks song 'Coconuts' and I was listening to that when I wrote up the first part of this chapter.

Je m'appelle means my name is if you were wondering.

Raye.
