Yugi sat down in his normal seat with a clouded mind. He tried to process what had been going on recently, but it was hard to think about that much in the morning. Joey poked him in the back to get his attention. Yugi jumped, starled, but managed to give his friend a calm smile.

"Hey Yugi, that girl that Bakura scared just walked in, it doesn't look like she has a seat yet, why don't you ask her to come sit with us? We've got an empty desk next to yah..." Joey suggested. Yugi nodded and stood up walking up to her. She turned and looked at him and shied away a bit. Yugi smiled at her warmly and held out his hand.

"Hi! My name is Yugi! Welcome to Domino High! There's an empty seat next to me if you would like to join my friends and I." He said, hoping she wouldn't run away again. "I'm sorry If Bakura scared you this morning, he didn't realize you were easily scared." The girl slowly gave a small smile and took his hand and shook it.

"My name is Naomi, I'll be glad to join you and your friends Yugi. And it's ok, I think I must've over reacted a bit too much...I hope I didn't hurt him to badly..." She said rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment. Yugi laughed and motioned for her to follow him. They walked by Kaiba, who was just sitting down in his seat. Yugi smiled and said hello to Kaiba, but Kaiba just ignored him and turned away. Yugi sweat dropped as he passed by and walked to his desk, Naomi sitting in the empty one next to him. Yugi turned to his friends to introduce her.

"Guys, this is Naomi!" He smiled. Naomi smiled meekly as she said hello to them and received greetings from everyone. At that moment the bell rang and the Teacher stepped into the room.

"Good morning class, I would like to introduce a new student in our class. Naomi, will you please come forward?" Naomi assented and rose from her seat and walked to the front.
"Yii em hotep." She bowed respectively and smiled. She laughed when she saw the confused looks on there faces. "I said hello in ancient Egyptian." She explained. "I'm Egyptian, both of my parents moved here from Egypt just before I was born." Everyone awed in admiration. A boy raised his hand with a question.

"Do you visit Egypt often with your parents then?" He asked. Naomi was silent for a moment then shook her head.

"No...my...my parents died...not long after they moved here..." She said quietly. There was a moment of awkward silence until Yugi broke it. He raised his hand.

"Naomi, do you like to play duel monsters?" He asked. Naomi's eyes lit up and smiled.
"Of coarse! Who doesn't? I love to play games, duel monsters is my favorite." The tension was lifted from the class. After a few more questions, Naomi took her seat next to Yugi again and the day went on. Yugi meant to invite Naomi over to his house to stay the night, maybe, with the rest of his friends after school, but as soon as the bell rang she took off with just a quick goodbye.

Back at home, Yugi pulled out his deck and dueled with Joey. Yugi won of coarse, but it wasn't one of his best duels. Joey cocked an eyebrow at Yugi and frowned.

"You ok Yug? You seem a little distant."

"I'm fine..." Yugi muttered. His dream from the previous night had been plaguing him all day. He still couldn't make heads or tails of it. His thoughts were ended by his Grandpa walking up to him with an envelope.

"Yugi, this just came for you..." Grandpa said handing the letter to Yugi. Everyone looked on with interest as Yugi opened it. Yugi blinked as he read it.

"This says I won that trip to those Egyptian games...but...I haven't even sent that form in. it's still in my pock-" Yugi reached his hand into his pocket only to find the form gone.

"Yugi, what is it?" Tea asked him. Yugi looked at her and the others.

"I won..." He said still confused. Yugi handed the letter to his friends as he explained the situation to his Grandpa. He nodded with consent and looked at the letter himself. Yugi sat in silence for a moment trying to figure out what was going on. Yami gave him a sudden alert.

"Yugi! I sense someone outside! There is something very wrong about this whole situation...." Yugi jumped when he heard someone enter the shop downstairs. Grandpa stood up and walked down stairs. Yugi bolted up and ran down before his Grandpa could. He skidded on the floor when he got to the bottom. Naomi was leaning on one of the shelves. Her cheeks were red from running.

"Naomi? What are you doing here?" Yugi asked going over to her.

"I didn't even make it home..." She started taking in deep breathes. "Some weird girl came up to me and handed me a letter telling me that I had won that trip thing...but I haven't sent in my form! When I went to ask him who he was and all that stuff, he vanished! I started to leave but I could here someone following me...I thought maybe it was just a coincidence for a while, but when they wouldn't leave, I decided to run to the nearest place I could think of, and that was her-- what are you doing here?" She asked in confusion. Yugi smiled and motioned her to a chair nearby.

"I live here, just above the store, I live with my Grandpa and he owns this store." Yugi explained smiling.

"Oh really? That's so cool Yugi..." Naomi smiled, a bit calmer now. Joey and the others came down the stairs surprised to see Naomi. After Yugi introduced her to his Grandpa, she explained again what had happed. Bakura leaned to look out the window to see if anyone suspicious was outside. He didn't see anyone; just missing the figure ducking out of sight. Night was quickly coming, and everyone was afraid to leave.

"It's a good thing we're not leaving tonight..." Tea said holding her arms close to her. Joey nodded.

"Yeah, we don't want no freaks following us home..."

"And maybe killing us all in our sleep!" Tristen added.

"Guys! Don't say scary things like that!" Tea wailed. Grandpa ignored them and turned to Naomi.
"Naomi, why don't you stay the night here too, I wouldn't want you getting hurt..." He said. Naomi smiled and nodded.

"Thanks...that's awfully nice of you Mr. Motou..." She said bowing.

"Hey, Nao, you said you like to duel right?" Joey piped up. "How bout's you and me have a little go eh? How bout it? I'm in a duelin' kick!" He said cockily.

"You're also in a losing kick..." Tristen added quietly.

"Shut the hell up Tristen!" Joey snapped back. Naomi laughed smiled at Joey.

"I'd love to duel you Joey." She said pulling out her deck. Yugi smiled and glanced at Bakura.

"I guess I'll go into my room and set it up for tonight..." he said glancing at Bakura again. Bakura nodded and followed Yugi.

"I'll help Yugi! It'll go faster if two work together!" He said walking upstairs. The others went into the living room to watch the duel as Grandpa closed the shop. The figure from before watched intently before fading away into the darkness.

Yugi opened his window to let the warm night air in. Bakura unrolled a sleeping bag and looked at Yugi intently. Yugi was silent as he stared at the blossoming stars in the night sky.

"I know that look, something is up Yugi...what is it?" Bakura asked quietly. Yugi turned and looked at Bakura. He knew he could trust him with things from Egypt's past. Since Bakura was also the possessor of a Millennium Item, Yugi knew he would understand better than anyone else. Yugi sighed and pulled over another sleeping bag and unrolled it.

"I had a dream last night, concerning something with Yami's past..." Yugi quietly explained it all to Bakura, making sure he left nothing out. When he finished, he looked at the placid Bakura. Bakura was silent for a few moments thinking. He looked at Yugi for a while still with a calm expresion.

"This is odd indeed..." He said looking outside. He tunred his head back to Yugi and looked him in the eyes. "I don't want to startle you, but someone is watching you Yugi...I think it would be wise when you leave for Egypt, that you be very cautious at these games...I have a feeling there's more to this than what the poster is telling you..."
