A/N- Hey, everyone! Say hello to my muse for this chapter! Sorceress
Vanessa!
Everyone: Hey, SV!
Serafina: See, it's not so bad when I introduce you is it? Nah, didn't think so. Thanks for helping me out here Sorceress Vanessa!
SV: Oh, you're welcome! This is actually very fun! Now what do we do?
Serafina: Hehe! Now we thank the reviewers and respond to what they had to say in the reviews!
SV: Oh, yeah. I'm just so excited I forgot for a moment how you did things around here!
Serafina: Thanks ok, now all of us are going to say thank you to them all at the same time. K?
SV: K.
Selina: K.
Serafina, SV, and Selina: THANK YOU TO THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Serafina: Hehe!
SV: Haha!
Selina: *snicker, snicker*
Hazel-Beka: Um. I don't really know why either. Like I said, this is the first story im writing that I don't write chapters ahead of time. I was just making stuff up as I went basically. I've only ever heard the necklaces called Ying and Yang. Thanks for telling me that! Don't stop telling me stuff like this, I'm constantly messing up stuff! Like the fact that I gotta fix the first and second chapters in TBCS cause they got switched somehow. Don't know how. O______O? Um. I guess she could try to take over the world. Unless you have a better idea. If you do let me know! That is pretty cliché. Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
Sorceress Vanessa: (Hey look! There's the one from me! Cool!) Thanks! (You're welcome) Here's more! (I know) thanks again and that's ok. My brother annoys me all the time so I know how that is! (yeah, well you just have one brother! I have more than one!) Thanks for reviewing! ^_^ (Not a problem! ^_^)
hobbitfeet13: Well, we don't get to chose who raises us exactly. But he is kinda freaky to me too, but he's supposed to be like that. I'm glad you're into it! I'll do that next chapter I guess or something like! Thanks for the idea! Thank you for the review! ^_^
Subieko: You thought it was suspenseful? YAY! You won't find out what the necklaces do until later. Yeah, she's really his daughter. I needed them to have some kind of relationship for something I'm planning later (If I do it that is.) but that was the first thing that popped into my head "relationship" wise. Thanks for the encouragement and thank you for your review! ^_^
digigirl-izumi: Yay! You got to get on! Of course you did cause you told me at lunch. Hehe! "Crumbles" haha! Get it? We have so much fun at the lunch table with our food. Wouldn't you agree? Nah, probably not a good RM. Thanks! Aww! How sweet! Thanks Nicky! Thanks for reviewing! ^_^

Chapter 3- Tough Decisions
"Hey, Yugi! Over here!" A blond headed boy called over the school courtyard. He was tall and slim, built for fighting. He had brown eyes, and was currently bragging to his best friends about some duel he had won against a novice in the game of Duel Monsters. He had just noticed as another one of his friends had turned up on school grounds.
"Hey, Joey, hi, guys," the other boy called to everyone. He was short and petite with large, innocent violet eyes and hair that was black and magenta with blond bangs. He turned to a girl with brown hair and blue eyes saying, "Tea, where were you this morning? You didn't tell me you weren't coming by like you usually do to walk to school together."
"Yeah, I know and I'm really sorry, Yugi, but my dad had to leave for work earlier than usual today and he wanted to drop me off. I would have called, but I didn't have enough time."
"Yeah, well...that's ok. Don't worry about it. We're all here at least."
"Oh, Yug, I don't think I've told you yet, have I?"
"Um, told me what Joey?"
"Guess I haven't. I beat, Simon Keniruki in a duel this morning. It was great! You should have been there!"
"Uh, huh. You totally kicked his back end all the way to Africa. You know you played so well that time I bet we can move your rank up there to rival a dueling monkey now," Tristan interjected. He was one of Joey's best friends and LOVED to tease him whenever he got the chance. They fought, mock fights mostly, like cats and dogs. Tristan was tall like Joey and was built for fighting like him too. He was a brunette and had brown eyes just like his friend.
"WHAT?! A DUELING MONKEY?!! I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S THE DUELING MONKEY AROUND HERE!" With that Joey leapt at Tristan, who was ready and waiting for him, while Yugi and Tea watched in amusement, giggling.
RIIIING
RIIIING
"Come on, guys, knock it off, we have to get to class." Tea grabbed her backpack and headed inside with Yugi who was still carrying his backpack.
Joey and Tristan stopped soon after that and followed the pair while calling, "Wait up!"
They made it to the classroom with ease after following the same route over and over again every morning. They found their seats and sat in them waiting for the teacher to arrive. They didn't have long to wait, however. The teacher entered and set his briefcase down on his desk and announced, "We have a new student today, class. I'd like you all to meet, Kerri Sohalia. Miss Sohalia, please come in."
Everyone looked expectantly at the doorway and was rewarded when a small girl with bright gold hair, and silver violet eyes entered the room. She blushed as she entered and kept her eyes turned down to the floor in obvious embarrassment. She was pale and looked like she had never played a sport in her life. A book person more like from the looks of her. She wore two necklaces around her delicate neck. One a symbol of darkness and the other a representation of light. Ying and Yang. The only other article of "jewelry" she wore was a watch. Other than that, she wore only the regular school attire. Her hair was pinned up in a ponytail, but her bangs hung into her eyes shielding her face.
"Say hello to Kerri, class and make her feel welcome."
"Hello, Kerri," the classroom rang with the chorus of the students.
"You may take your seat, now. That empty one is fine. Beside Yugi Mutou," the teacher instructed and Kerri took her seat, walking all the way with her head bowed.
Yugi glanced at her to find her staring at him. When he looked over at her, she turned her head away, and stared at the teacher instead. Then the instructor began the lesson and he gave her no more thoughts until lunch.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Selina, hoped that her shy act was working and that she looked and acted like an innocent child. It seemed to be working so far. Little Yugi hadn't seem to notice anything odd...yet. 'And I hope he never will. At least not until it is too late.' She had gone through most of the day pretty well, paying attention in class and trying hard not to look at Yugi and his friends too much. Oh, the trouble they had caused her, they would pay for it! And dearly at that! For the most part nobody paid her any attention.
She was grateful and hoped this would continue. She knew she need to get close to Yugi somehow so she could get her Millennium Bracelet back, but for now she would play the shy, innocent child. The bell rang, signaling time for lunch.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yugi sat down with Joey, Tea, and Tristan at their usual table in the lunchroom. They began chatting unconcernedly about nonsense school talk, when Yugi noticed something. The new girl was sitting by herself at the end of one of the tables. Nobody sat even remotely close to her and Yugi thought she must have been very lonely.
"Hey, guys?"
"Yeah, Yug?"
"Do you mind if I invite Kerri to sit with us? She looks pretty lonely over there by herself."
"Nah, we don't mind at all do we? Invite her on over, Yug."
Yugi smiled and replied, "Sure thing." He got up from his seat and made his way across the cafeteria. Kerri didn't even notice him come up behind her. She kept her face to the floor. "Hey," Yugi said with a smile as he sat in the seat across from her with his hands clasped together on top of the table.
"Uh...hi?"
"Would you like to sit with me and my friends? We'd be very happy if you came to join us. Please?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*~*Selina's P.O.V.*~*
That little brat! Inviting ME to come and sit with HIM. Like he is privileged enough for me to sit with him and his snotty little friends. YOUR TIME WILL COME LITTLE YUGI, JUST YOU WAIT! I must keep up my disguise though. It would be impolite and un-innocent-like to refuse. URGH! The scrawny little runt! He tricked me into this. It's almost like he knows I have to keep this up and is torturing me, just by asking me a simple question. I will make him pay. But for now!...ugh...for now, I must play along.
*~*Normal P.O.V.*~*
Kerri seemed to be debating with herself as to if she wanted to sit with them or not. Finally she smiled and said, "Sure, I'd love to sit with you. I don't have any friends here yet, so now you are my first. As you already know, I'm Kerri."
"And I'm Yugi. Come on, we sit right over there." Yugi led her to the table he sat at with his friends and she seemed to shrink away from everybody, not sure what to do or say. Yugi felt sorry for her, coming to a new school in the middle of the year like this must have been really tough for her. She did say she had no friends. Yugi was glad to have changed that.
Yugi presented her to everyone and then introduced them to her. They made conversation with her, trying to make her feel welcome and comfortable. She seemed to be connecting a little better with everyone as she told where she was from and what school she used to attend and why she moved. It was a rather interesting story to Yugi and his friends, but Kerri seemed to be bored with it as if she had told it way too many times already.
By the time lunch had ended Kerri had become one of the group. Joey and Tristan even invited her to come to Burger World with them and Yugi. Tea had to work. She said she would and they decided to meet after school in the courtyard behind the school. The "usual meeting place" as it was commonly referred to.
A/N- Sorry, no evil cliff-hanger as is "usual" with my stories, but I CAN'T THINK ANYMORE!!!!! Should I wait awhile for Selina to steal her MB back or should I do it soon? I don't know what to do and don't feel like having a long in depth discussion with myself right now about it. So what do you guys want? Do you want them to be closer friends before she gets it back or should I just have her take it now? Should I write them going to Burger World or just skip it? I don't feel like thinking anymore! Give me something to work with por favor. Give me some ideas, anything. Just help me make this story more interesting! I don't think it is exciting enough. So review por favor and let me know what you think. Thanks Sorceress Vanessa for being my muse!
