5. Missing Friends?

Kaiba was about to answer, but was stopped as the principal and another stepped down from the stage and over to them.

"Oh no, why did he have to follow us." Tristian muttered.

"I thought we lost him?" Joey replied.

"So did I." Tristian added. "So did I."

"Hey guys, I thought I was lost for a minute." The guy said, he was about the same height as Joey, had long black hair and a yellow (I think it's yellow?) head band, plus a die hanging down from his left ear.

"Well now you're not." Joey grinned a false grin, wishing he'd stayed lost.

"Well hello!." Katie, Jean and Xena grinned as he looked at them.

Joey and Tristian shot their heads over to them in horror.

"What?" They snapped.

"You three like this jerk?" Joey questioned.

"Sort of." Jean snapped with a little grin as she walked away from them and over to the new arrival. "Hey..um...Duke can you do me a favor?"

"What?"

Jean stopped in front of him and with a stupid grin.

"Can you teach me how to play Dungeon Dice Monsters?"

"Oh..um...uh..um..I...I guess." Duke stuttered.

"Cool." Jean's grin grew and she walked back to her friends. "What?"

"Nothing." Katie replied shaking her head.

"Whatever." Jean said rolling her eyes and turned to Kaiba. "So when do we duel?"

"Later, I have to get the arena ready." Kaiba answered.

"Oh, ok cool. Duke and I can play." Jean replied looking away from Kaiba to Duke and caught him checking her out. "Oh yeah, try anything other then Duel Monsters and you will so regret it." She finished.

"I don't know what you mean?" Duke lied with a devilish grin.

"Um, Xe, Kate um come with me." Jean whispered to her two friends.

"Ok." Xena replied.

"Only is Yami comes." Katie replied giving Yami, Yugi a grin.

"Fine whatever." Jean muttered and then realized that one of her friends were missing. "Ok where in the bloody hell did Emiko get off to?"

"I'm right here." Emiko replied walking off the stage arm in arm with yet another guy.

"Emiko!" Jean grinned and started to chuckle.

"Bakura? What are you doing here?" Yami, Yugi asked.

"I followed Duke, but gotten lost, the next thing I knew Emiko found me and led me here." Bakura answered.

"Emi why?" Katie questioned.

"Well I found where they all were coming from and found Bakura just wandering around in the dark." Emiko replied.

"You ran into me." Bakura muttered.

"I said I was sorry." Emiko snapped. "So what are we going to do?"

The principal stepped into the group and handed the girls little pieces of paper.

"Here is permission for you to get out of school without any trouble from Mr. Johnson." He replied.

"Are you sure?" Xena asked.

The principal nodded yes.

"Sweet!" Jean, Katie, Emiko and Xena grinned.

"You all go on, I have a test to finish." Anna replied.

"Same here." Dawn added and they walked out of the auditorium.
