Disclaimer: Much to the dismay of Ookami_Arashi, we do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! This is a joint fic between Ruby Darkskye and Ookami_Arashi, so we hope you enjoy!

'Here I am." Ruby Darkskye thought to herself as she looked up at the large steel barred gates of Domino High in awe. Pupils were milling around, talking absent-mindedly as Ruby walked through the gates. Her blue eyes sparkled jovially in the sunlight. Her brilliant red hair fell just below shoulder length with a white streak running down slightly to the left of her forehead. Down the steps by the main entrance, walked a man who was roughly five years older than she was by a glance. He was tall and had short brown hair that was gelled back. His brown eyes had a friendly look to them as he stepped over. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers and a Star Wars tie. He pulled a hand out of his pocket and offered it out for Ruby to shake.

"Good morning," He said brightly, "My name's James. And you are?"

"Yours." Muttered Ruby quietly, "Uh, I mean, I'm Ruby. Nice to meet you." She took his hand and shook it. It felt warm in hers.

"I'm new. I'm teaching these mindless fools science. I think I'm sharing a tutor with you?"

"Yeah, I think you are. If your surname is Jenkins, that is." Ruby replied cheerfully, "My surname's Darkskye. I'm teaching these urchins music. Shall we go in?"

"Of course. And I'm very excited to be working with you, Ruby." James grinned flirtatiously as they walked, side by side up the stairs, wondering what the future held for the two of them. As they entered the main doors, a black limousine pulled sleekly up to the car park.

As the limo stopped, voices could be heard throwing insults back and forth across the inside of the vehicle. There was laughing and then the door opened. Out stepped a tall figure wearing standard school uniform with a few adjustments. His brown hair fell a little way above his piercing blue eyes which were surveying the playground. Behind him, appeared a girl who looked exactly identical, apart from the fact that she was just under an inch smaller. Her brown hair fell halfway down her back and she was wearing standard school uniform also. Her blue eyes had a strange look to them, like flowing water.

"Come on Kaiba." She poked him playfully in the shoulder, "We have to go to school at some point today."

"I know Darkskye." Replied the smooth voice of Seto Kaiba, "Ladies first." And with that, both abnormally tall pupils walked into the main school as the other pupils fell silent around them.

The first thought that came to Ruby's mind when James led her tutor through the door was 'Oh crap…' James slid her an anxious side-wards glance as he stood before the desks. When everyone was settled down, James and Ruby introduced themselves and began to take the register. In the midst of the first few names, Kaiba walked in, followed by the girl that had accompanied him from the limousine. They walked slowly to the back and sat in the two vacant seats on the left, near the window. The girl felt Ruby's gaze upon her so swivelled her head to look at her. Ruby reached the surnames beginning with 'D' on the register.

"Darkskye?" She said out loud, "That can't be right."

"No, you are correct." The girl at the back interrupted her thoughts, "Amber Darkskye. You've got me there, haven't you?"

"Amber? Is…is that you?" Ruby asked her, "Have I found my only sister?"

"No, I'm a clone." Replied the ever sarcastic voice of Amber.

"Oh, how I missed those sarcastic remarks!" Ruby exclaimed happily as she crushed Amber in a huge hug.

"Oh crap…" Amber muttered as she levered her sister off her. James cleared his throat loudly.

"Anyway, we'll be your tutors for the rest of the year." The class groaned as Ruby returned to the front and made gagging noises.

Amber growled to herself as she sat on her seat. Kaiba smirked a little listening to the insults and threats pouring out of her mouth.

"You never told me you had a sister…" He whispered to her as she took a quick breath.

"I was hoping she'd forgotten." Amber sighed, "I can't stand the bloody woman! 'Oh Amber! Blah blah blah! Come here! You look like a rubbish tip!' I can't possibly stand her!"

"I see…" Kaiba replied thoughtfully.

"Would it be alright if I crashed at your place tonight?" Amber asked hopefully.

"We'll have to see." Kaiba smirked in response, "Why?"

"Because I don't want her knowing where I live…" Amber whispered.

"I finally met my sister again." Ruby mused happily to James as their tutor left, "That lesson was a bloody nightmare though, wasn't it?"

"It wasn't that bad." Said James, "But only because you were there." He smiled and leaned down until the space between their lips disintegrated. They broke apart and gazed into each others eyes.

"Do I know you from somewhere James?" Ruby asked, "Because I feel like I do."

"Yeah, high school." James replied, "You were in tenth grade and I watched you go to the dance with my brother Craig." He seemed on the verge of tears but carried on regardless, "I was a student teacher. You were my favourite pupil. I fell in love with you…" He finished trailing off. Ruby pulled him towards her and gently caressed his cheek.

"Where are you staying?" James asked after a brief silence.

"The Ember Estate." Ruby replied.

"I know this is a bit quick, but you can stay with me if you want." James offered hopefully. "I mean, in the guest room." Ruby softly kissed him on the lips and said,

"I'd love to." Ina dark corner of the classroom, an average sized figure sighed contently and disappeared through the wall into the school playground.
