A/N: Hello everyone!  I'm back with a new story.  I know I should be working on "Discoveries" but I suddenly go inspired for this.  Don't worry I'll have the next chapter of it up soon.  Anyway, I will now turn the computer over to our favorite kawaii hikari's: Ryou and Yugi!

Ryou & Yugi:  Hi.  Yami Yami's got this idea half way through camp from another YGO freak, and now we are going to have to deal with it, somehow…

YYY: Oh come on!  It won't be that bad will it?

R&Y: Well…

YYY: Don't answer!  You are going to support this fic and you are going to like it!  OKAY!?

R&Y: *squeak* yes ma'am.

YYY: Good.  Now before we begin I would like to make a warning.  This and all my other fics are based on the dub version and a few things I picked up on the Internet about the original.  And by the way, I LIKE THE DUB! GET IT?

Chapter one:  New Student

*****

Yugi walked down the streets of Domino City.  It had been almost a year since Battle City and most of the events were forgotten.  He was glad everything has calmed down.  No more freaks after his puzzle.  No more Rare Hunters.  No more threats.  No more danger around every corner.  And most of all, no more Marik!  With all this gone, life had pretty much gone back to normal.

Well, as normal as it could be with the spirit of a five thousand year old pharaoh living in a piece of jewelry.  Okay puzzle.  But you know the story by now, so lets not get into details.

Yugi sighed and kept walking.  It was the first day of school and he wasn't all that thrilled.  But then who really is at the end of summer?  He asked himself.

"Well, Joey seems pretty happy to me," said a voice from behind him.

"Ahhh!" he jumped backwards into a fence tripped over a rock and fell flat on his face.  He spit out some dirt and said, "I really wish you would stop doing that Yami."

"Hahaha, sorry aibou," he said helping Yugi up.  "But really, Joey does seem pretty happy to me."

Yugi looked ahead to see the school Joey and Tristan were among the many students already at school. 

"Hey guys!" Yugi called to the boys.  They turned to him and waved.

"Hi Yugi.  What's up?"

"Nothing much. Hey, Joey, why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

The taller boy grinned.  "Didn't you hear?  Tea moved to a new school.  She's gone! Yeah!"

Yugi sweat-dropped.  "Joey!  That's not very nice."

"Aw come on Yugi.  Don't tell me she didn't annoy you even a little."

"Yeah Yugi.  I mean really," Tristan said joining the conversation.

Yugi rolled his eyes and sighed.  "Sure she did, but she was my first friend, so that does count for something.  But anyway, we should be getting inside.  Class is gonna start soon."

The three boys headed inside, not noticing the pair of eyes watching them from behind the wall.

He boy watched them leave and sighed leaning against the brick wall.  Of all the schools in all of Japan, why did I have to go to THIS one?  He thought as he ran a hand through his pale blonde hair.  He sighed once more and made his way into the building.

Yugi took a seat next to Joey and in front of Tristan.  He looked around the classroom to see many familiar faces.  He saw Bakura walk into the classroom and waved at him.  Bakura waved back and took a seat next to him.

He also noticed in the back of the classroom Seto Kaiba was sitting quietly reading a book.  He always wondered why Kaiba even bothered to come to school. The guy ran is own company!  He didn't need school.

Yugi was snapped out of his thought as his teacher came in.

"Good morning students," he said.  "I hope you all had an enjoyable vacation.  Now before we begin, I have a small announcement to make.  We have a new student joining us this year.  I hope that you will make him feel right at home.  So please welcome Mr. Marik Ishtar."

Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Bakura, and Kaiba's heads all snapped up as the figure walked into the classroom.  He was wearing the blue school uniform, had lavender eyes, and pale blonde hair that fell slightly above his shoulders.  Marik Ishtar had returned.
