Chapter 1
Icey Kamishiro directed her deep violet eyes up to the white clouds which were dancing over the clear blue sky. At first glance, Icey's eyes seemed to match the colour of an amethyst, but on second glance.... They still looked like amethysts. Her long-ish purple hair was tied up into two half- ups, one on each side of her head with red ribbons. It was her first day at Domino High, and Icey grew more nervous with each passing second. She knew absolutely no one there at all. But who could blame her? She had recently moved to Domino City with her fake family who were always on the run with reasons so severe that they would have to kill you if you found out. Icey hoped they could stay, Domino seemed like a nice city, and she liked her school uniform too. Ok, maybe they could have worked on the pink, but the length of the skirt didn't bother her at all, except for the fact that it caught the attention of every young guy she past. Icey let out a sigh and shifted the weight of her bag from one shoulder to the other. The school was still some distance away and already Icey's legs were aching, she'd been walking for ages now. But Icey's thoughts soon strayed away from the pain in her legs when she happened to walk past a large mansion. How she longed to live in a house that big. She continued walking but soon stopped completely, totally taken back by the beauty of the mansion. She was so distracted that she didn't even notice a white limousine pull out of the driveway, its tires scrunching over the gravel. Upon passing Icey, someone electronically rolled down the black window to reveal a pair of cold blue eyes. The piercing eyes of the wealthy (And sexy, if I may say so) CEO of Kaiba Corp. Hasn't she seen a mansion before? He wondered in disgust, rolling up the window again. Stupid pathetic commoner, he spat silently, studying her in the rearview mirror. He ignored the fact that he did think that Icey was extremely cute and closed his eyes. Suddenly, Icey sneezed,
"Hmm, must be catching a cold..." she said to herself. (Y'know how you sneeze when people talk about you? Yea, that's what happened just then ^o^)
Finally, and I mean finally, Icey walked through the gates of Domino High, did I mention that she got there as soon as the bell rang for first period? Icey ran through the empty hallway of the school which was almost always bustling with other kids. She pulled out her timetable, English, not a bad way to start a school day. Icey picked up her pace, E-2, she thought, where is E-2? She scanned the door numbers as she ran past, E-5, no, not on this side. Icey turned to the opposite side of the wide corridor. There! Yes! E- 2!! Icey slammed open the door and burst through, in doing so, she collided violently with a tall blonde. He fell face down onto the floor, Icey fell as well, landing with her face buried in his back. The blonde guy held up a small white flag and waved it around,
"I surrender!!" came a muffled Brooklyn accent.
Icey got up and remained in a sitting position on the floor. The entire class watched the two intently. The English teacher, Ms. West, was standing on the table, eyes wide from the sudden shock. Icey helped the boy up with an apologetic smile on his face,
"Heh, gomen ne..." she trailed off. Kaiba, who sat reading quietly up the back, looked up from his book. He cringed inwardly when he saw who it was.
"Joey, are you alright?" Ms. West asked, climbing down from the table.
Icey assumed the boy she bowled over was Joey. Joey stood and dusted himself off,
"Yeah, I'm arite miss," He replied, holding out a hand to help Icey up.
Icey exultantly took it and stood, straightening out her blue skirt. Ms. West smiled to the class,
"And now everyone, I would like you all to me our newest member of the school, Icey Kamishiro..." she paused when, some random kid yelled,
"YES!! I AINT NEW NO MORE!!!!!"
She then noticed Joey still standing awkwardly at the front of the class waving as if he was Icey.
"SIT DOWN WHEELER!!!" Ms. West screamed.
Joey stopped and walked back to his table, a few kids smothered a laugh. Ms. West then turned back to Icey, cheery as she could possibly be. Icey raised an eyebrow and sweatdropped. She looked pretty cute when she did that.
"Now Icey, I understand that you are new and so I will devise for you a temporary guide, just to show you around the school grounds" The teacher went on., "But before I do, is there anything you would like to say to the class?"
Icey blinked, "Well, let's see, um... love and peace?" she stammered.
Yami then stood up from his seat next to Yugi, "Together everyone," he shouted, "Love and peace!!!!"
Yugi sweatdropped, and made his Yami sit down again, Icey recognized him, Yami, along with Marik and Bakura, they were on the news not quite one month earlier, apparently, they stripped naked and ran all through Domino city after an encounter with alcohol, or as Yami called it 'Bubbly-weird- water-that-makes-you-do-funny-things-when-you-drink-lots-and-lots'. Ms. West interrupted Icey's flashback,
"Now as I was saying, a guide," She looked around the room, and her eyes came to rest on Seto Kaiba... then over to the boy in the next row with sandy- blonde hair, gorgeously tanned skin and lavender coloured eyes which were focused on the fluffy clouds which rolled slowly by. "Ahh... Mr. Ishtar, how about you?" she asked politely.
Icey was stunned by the charming looks of the boy, but he didn't reply, he just kept staring out the window. A few kids roughly cleared their throats to get his attention, but to no prevail. Some more kids tried calling his name to get his attention,
"Malik, hey mate, snap out of it..." one tried.
Marik nudged his hikari, Malik just ignored him. A stress mark soon appeared on Ms. West's forehead,
"MR. ISHTAR!!!!!" She yelled, Malik snapped out of his reverie. "Do you have any idea what I just told you???"
Icey could have sworn she could feel, the air and the very ground tremble under her feet. Malik blinked once, and Marik rolled his eyes,
"Here we go..." he muttered.
"Beats me," Malik said. "Weren't you listening either?" he asked.
The entire class cracked up, howls of laughter rang throughout the entire school. Marik smiled and slapped Malik a high five,
"Good one, hikari" he said, his expression changed when Ms. West glared at him, "You have to be Icey's guide around the school, hikari" Marik explained to his lighter side quietly... and quickly.
Bakura kicked Malik from his seat behind him, "Just say yes dammit, then we can be rid of the pathetic woman... and her screaming!" He whispered harshly. Ms. West was red with fury,
"DAMN YOU ALL!!!" she yelled, running out of the classroom. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then went about their business. Icey found herself a spare desk and sat down, pulling out her notebook. Yami and his group crowded around her table,
"So you nervous?" Joey asked, "Coz if you are, then I can... uh 'help' you out there" he said. Icey noticed the perverted tone in his voice, it was something she recognized easily in guys, considering she heard it all the time. She stood up calmly,
"Joey, are your pathetic flirting skills the result of your berserk pituitary glands?" she asked. Kaiba looked up at her smart comment, somewhat impressed, even if there was no such thing as a berserk pituitary gland. Joey blinked,
"Um...pituitary? Um... bless you bro!" Joey dismissed it. Tea sweatdropped,
"It seems your train of thought is still boarding at the station..." Joey looked around,
"What train? Where??" he asked, they all fell over.
Icey smiled and gestured to the dumb blonde, "Isn't he great folks? Let's give him a big hand!!"
Duke put on one of his flirty smiles, "Why don't you ditch the Egypt boy and let me be your guide, I'll show you a good time... I promise you that" Duke purred softly.
Icey stared at him bluntly, then suddenly pointed past him, "Oh my gosh, a flying pig!!!!" she exclaimed, then calmed down, "Oh sorry, my bad, I thought for a moment I saw a flying pig, but it was just a pigment of my imagination, and that's the only time I would let you be my guide" Icey turned to the other guys around her, Bakura gave her a saucy smile, "Anyone else want to be humiliated?" Bakura backed off immediately. And having put two, three if you will, hopefuls in their place, Icey sat down again.
Yugi sent her a warm smile, "Don't mind those guys, they're just desperate hopefuls" Yugi lowered his voice. "Oh and a word of advice, try everything you can to stay well away from Bakura, don't bend down when he's around, and please note the mirrors on his shoes..." Icey sweatdropped. This brought the, meaning of PERVERT to a whole new level.
"You know mortal, I can hear every word you say!! And I do not have mirrors on my shoes!!" Bakura said in a warning tone, trying to make sure the small pieces of glass on his shoes were concealed by the legs of his pants. He silenced when Yami sent him an evil look, a look that said: "Don't even think about touching him!!! And don't try anything on the girl either!!" Bakura smirked and leaned down closer to Icey, and before Icey could register what he did, the next thing she felt was Bakura's warm tongue over the skin on the throat. He lifted his head up, staring at Yami with a tight smirk on his face. It took Icey a few more seconds to realize what was going on.
Her eyes widened, "HENTAI!!!!!!!" she screamed and picked up her table which she threw at Bakura. Everyone sweatdropped, Icey walked up to Bakura and knelt down next to him, pulling up his shirt to wipe the side of her neck, "I think your cute Bakura, don't get me wrong," Icey said to him quietly so the others couldn't hear, "But next time, think of another way to get my attention ok?" As Icey stood up, the boy with sandy-blonde hair and amazing lavender eyes stood in front of her,
"As your guide, I believe we should head off to visit the sections of the school," He said politely, offering his arm out to her. Icey gave him a weird look, then back down at Bakura who was twitching slightly under the upturned table. Malik smiled uncertainly and blushed, "Err, no I'm not....I don't act like he does!" Malik said, in a more or less convincing tone, Icey blinked stupidly. Kaiba made note of this, her personality somewhat appealed to him, more or less. Her attitude was cute, pointlessly stupid, but cute. No wonder why she caught the eyes of Yami and his crew. Icey reluctantly took Malik's arm and the two walked out of the room. Kaiba could have sworn he saw a glint in Malik's eye when he turned back to his friends... something like: 'SCORE!!!' Kaiba growled softly, then returned to his reading.
