Anaya's Creator: You guys wanted a sequel, you got it!

Mokuba: Yey!! (Jumps in the air excitedly)

Anaya's Creator: (Puts arms around Mokuba and cuddles him) Mokie-chan, don't get to hyper.

Kaiba: This takes place right before and into Battle City.

Anaya's Creator: Yes,I am fully aware thatBattle City is over in the anime series, but like I said so much in the other story: DEAL WITH IT!!! There is also a bit at the end which takes place after Battle City, but it's after all the other stuff in the original series has happened.

Malik: Where do I come in?

Anaya's Creator: Just sit tight and you'll see.

Malik: Anaya's Creator does not own Yu-Gi-Oh.

Nothing Out of the Ordinary:

In the principal's office of Domino High, an older woman with half blonde/half grey hair, sat with a teenage girl, talking with the principal.

"Principal, please understand, despite my daughter's condition there is no need to assign someone to help her. She is extremely independent and can get along well on her own," the woman explained.

"Doesn't see need someone to at least help her around? Just for this week perhaps?" the principal argued.

"No," said the girl. "I remember everything from yesterday."

"You are certain?" the principal asked.

"I am,"

"Very well then, but we don't allow dyed hair or pets here. I'll let it your hair color slide for today, but it must be back to her normal hair color by tomorrow and the bird must leave with your mother." the principal said.

"My hair is naturally like this and Adan helps me get around," the girl said stubbornly.

The principal's eyes widened.

"She isn't lying, my good sir, her hair has always been this color and Adan is always with her no matter what. This bird has always helped her get around since the 'accident'. He is strictly a 'seeing-eye bird', you could say. I don't know exactly how, but my daughter can understand him. I can assure you that he is extremely well behaved and won't be a problem," the woman said gently, siding with her daughter.

If it was even possible, the principal's eyes went even wider.

The woman rested her head on one of her hands, which were starting to wrinkle with age. "If you want a note from the doctor about her hair and from the vet about Adan, I'll get you one," she said in vexation.

The principal stared at the girl's hair, then at the woman, and said "That won't be necessary, Madam. The first period of the day will be starting soon; your daughter had better get to class."

"Thank you sir," the old woman said. Without another word, her and her daughter turned and left the room.

Meanwhile, it was around nine o'clock in the morning and Yugi Motou was sitting at his desk with one of his friends. "Did you hear? There's supposed to be a new student coming in today," asked a tall boy around sixteen with blonde hair and honey eyes.

"Well, I did hear a rumor, Joey..." Yugi stammered. He was considerably shorter than his companion, but with black and purple hair that stood up straight and around his eyebrows and the top of his ears were golden bangs.

"Well, you know my sister Serenity?"

"Yeah,"

"Well, she has a..." BRRIINNGGG!!

Suddenly the school bell rang, and everyone had to take their seat. The announcements sounded, stating that Kendo Club was after school from four o'clock to five, basketball practice was cancelled, etcetera... finally, after what seemed an eternity, they were over. The teacher at the front of the classroom stood up. He was average sized, in height, and was rather portly, with dark brown hair that was beginning to bald. The suit he wore was the color of horse-dung, and smelled like it to. As he stood up, assuming this was going to be a "normal all-period-note-taking day", nearly every student took out their notebook and a pen or pencil. "Before we begin class I have an additional announcement to make," he said in a curt voice. "We have a new student joining today."

As he spoke a girl who was somewhat short, only about 5'2", entered the classroom. She looked around sixteen and had bright green hair that grew a little past her waist; she wore blue worn jeans with along black sweater that went to her knees. In the crook of her arm, she carried a maple walking stick with a dragon carved onto the one end. On her shoulder was a red-headed falcon that was preening its beak through her hair in a seemingly affectionate gesture. She muttered something and immediately the bird stopped, turning its head to look around the classroom. Her hands and what could be seen of her face was tanned and there were thick black sunglasses hiding her eyes from view.

"Everyone this is Miss Rogue Kaisaris, she has come all the way from western America to Japan," the teacher explained. As the teacher introduced her Rogue tipped her head a little. "You will be sitting next to Mr. Seto Kaiba, Miss. Mr. Kaiba could you help her..."

I hate it when people do this to me, Rogue thought. She turned to the direction of the teacher's voice and said, "That won't be necessary, Sir," a short-tempered voice. "Simply point out whom this Seto Kaiba is and I can get to my seat just fine, I can assure you." Everyone looked at her puzzled. How could she not know who the richest man in Japan was? Why had the teacher asked Kaiba to help her? And why was she wearing sunglasses in the building?

"Alright then," the teacher said in a slightly bamboozled tone. He pointed to a tall boy with bright sapphire eyes and chestnut hair. The bird screeched in the girl's ear softly and Rogue nodded. She walked over to the row of desks that Kaiba was sitting in, all the while using her cane to help her walk.

Does she have trouble walking or something? Yugi thought, looking at her with a curious look in her eyes. Why is she using that staff?

Take another look at her, Yugi Yami told him. Yugi started paying attention again, and saw Rogue got to the row where Kaiba was and began walking down it, putting a hand on each desk as she walked. Several people were watching her, some whispering to each other and pointing at her.

I hope these idiots know I can hear everything they're saying. Well, it's not like I'm not used to it, Rogue thought to herself as she went along. Seven desks back, this should be it... She stretched her hand out, running it along the desk to see if anyone was there. Her hand ran into something warm and solid, and she was pretty sure that wasn't the desk.

"Excuse me," said a cold voice. She heard and felt the thing she had her hand on get up and grab her hand before she could withdraw it. "Your desk would be over there."

Unbeknownst to Rogue, the person she had touched was Seto Kaiba. He was pointing to the desk behind Rogue wearing his cold glare, but she didn't move; only her expression seemed to change. He couldn't see it clearly because of her sunglasses, but she seemed not to like him. Unlike any other girl, she didn't withdraw, become suddenly timid, or crazily hyper because he was touching and speaking to her, but abruptly jerked her hand out of his.

"Don't touch me," she demanded coldly.

"Same here," Kaiba snapped an equally icy tone.

"Miss Kaisaris, perhaps it would be easier for you to explain your condition to the class," the teacher instructed, clearly trying to avoid a first day fight among the students.

"There is nothing I need to explain. If these people are smart, they can figure it out for themselves," she retorted.

"Miss Kaisaris, I must insist," the teacher said firmly as Rogue turned and felt her way to the desk behind her.

Rogue let out a great sigh, with a slight shake of her head as if she were rolling her eyes, she put down her walking stick, lifted her hands to her sunglasses, and took them off. She heard the whole class gasp.

Yami... she's blind... Yugi stammered through the mind-link he shared with his dark.

Rogue's eyes were shut tight and over them were long, thick, and considerably painful-looking scars. There was a sudden thump! on the floor as someone fainted. Yep, get that all the time, Rogue thought. Without another word she put the glasses back on, sat back down, and the school day began as if out of the ordinary had happened.

Anaya's Creator: Well, how's the sequel so far?

Mokuba: Where am I?

Anaya's Creator: You'll come in, (--thinks for a bit--) the next chapter, more than likely.

Malik: Where am I?

Kaiba: It's not Battle City yet.

Anaya's Creator: Some forewarning: there are going to be very few duel scenes in this, because as entertaining as they may be in the show, I have to much stuff besides the duels to tell. I said it once, and I will say it again: DEAL WITH IT!!!
