Anaya's Creator: It's another update. Thank you people who wished me luck on my tests, I survived!

Malik: Kaiba and Mokuba aren't here today, just me and Anaya's Creator! And Kaiba gets kicking in the shins this chapter!

Anaya's Creator: And Malik's in this chapter, too!

Malik: Finally!

Anaya's Creator: Some reviews:

Mukyuu Tenshi:

No, even though Akina was from Ancient Egypt she didn't duel. If you'll recall, Akina never even learned how. And her hikari is blind, so she can even tell the cards apart unless she pokes holes in the cards to form Braille letters, but what did the poor cards ever do to her? So no, she won't duel. And as for Rogue's new powers, read very carefully throughout this chapter, one is exposed. You have to use your brain a bit to figure this one out, but it's in there.

KrysofSorrow:

Don't worry, Malik's in this chapter... sort of.

Malik: What do you mean 'sort of'?

Anaya's Creator: Read the chapter and you'll see! Ido not own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did, that'd be so cool!

Malik: Duh!

Anaya's Creator: FYI: Kaiba Seto Kaiba, and Mokuba himself. I don't refer to Mokuba as Kaiba, he's too nice for that and just so you people know: the roles of Seth and Mokuba in Egypt have practically swapped rolls, Mokuba is the one that gets close to Rogue in the present, not Kaiba.

At the front gate of the school, two people were waiting for Rogue. One was tall, had silvery hair, pale skin, and light grey eyes. The other was Mokuba. "Hi, Rogue," he yelled and ran at her.

Rogue as felt someone slam into her around her middle. "Hello there, Mokuba," she said returning the hug he was giving her.

"Have a good day at school, Sister?" asked a male voice.

"It went just fine, brother." Rogue let go of Mokuba for a moment and walked towards the voice. The man who had spoken to Rogue had been the man with white hair. Strong arms embraced her and she returned it.

"Who is your new friend?" he implied.

"Oh, this is Mokuba Kaiba. Mokuba this is my older brother, Yoko." (Yes, as in Yoko Kurama, there is also a slight YuYu Hakusho cross over here, but just Yoko and someone else we'll see a bit later.)

"Good to meet you," Mokuba said.

From back at the school, Kaiba was watching his little brother suspiciously. Rogue seemed to be introducing him to someone. If that girl did anything screwy... wait a minute, was that Yugi and Wheeler walking towards those three?

"Bye Rogue, sorry for running into you in the hallway," Yugi said as he and Joey left.

"Bye," Rogue answered, slightly confused about who had spoken to her.

"Who was that?" Yoko asked.

"I don't quite remember; his name was Yuri, or Yugi, or something of that nature..."

"His name's Yugi Motou," Mokuba informed them.

"As in the Duel Monsters Champion..." Rogue asked.

"Yep,"

"Yoko, Mokuba was wondering if I could go to his house with him after school today."

"I don't really see why not. You just need to be home before dark. You know how Mother gets."

"How could I forget?"

"So I'll just leave you two here then." Yoko turned to his sister, ruffled her hair a bit, then nodded to Mokuba and left.

"Hey there Mokuba," Kaiba said, putting a hand on his little brother's shoulder. "You ready to go?"

"Yep," Mokuba answered.

"Alright then," there was the sudden sound of a car pulling up and then of a door opening.

Rogue turned her head towards the sound, but stayed where she was. "Aren't you coming Rogue?" Mokuba asked. He grabbed her hand and helped her into the vehicle. Inside Rogue did something very peculiar, she put her staff on the floor and put her arms in front of her and began feeling around the inside of the auto, trying to get a grip of her surroundings. Kaiba had to bite back the urge to laugh.

"This is a very spacious auto," she commented, putting her hands down.

Kaiba could no longer hold back, "It's a limousine moron," he said, laughing a little as he spoke. He suddenly felt hard heels make hard contact with his shins. "Ow!"

"You're the moron," Rogue retorted.

Despite how much he disliked this girl, Kaiba found himself feeling a bit sorry for her because she was blind.

"And quite feeling sorry for me! Just because I'm blind, Seto Kaiba, doesn't mean I deserve anyone's pity!" she exclaimed.

Kaiba felt his eyes go wide. How did she know he felt sorry for her?

Out of the corner of his eye he watched as Adan flew to Mokuba's shoulder and began preening his hair. Sensing Mokuba's discomfort, Kaiba turned to Rogue, "What's your bird doing on my brother's shoulder?"

Rogue chuckled, "It means he likes him; Adan's very fond of children. He finds them very trustworthy; and, Mokuba, as long as you don't ruffle his feathers or pull any out, he'll let you touch him."

Throughout the rest of the ride Rogue and Mokuba got to know each other pretty well, but there was always one question Rogue refused to answer: how she had become blind. It was clear that she hadn't been blind when she was born, but she would always find some way to avoid that particular question. If the Kaiba brother's were about to ask her about it, she'd always change the subject before the words even came out of their mouths and if it even was asked, Adan would cause a bit of a distraction and they would forget about it.

"Rogue, why did you enroll in school two weeks before summer break?" Kaiba asked.

"We had moved in two years ago after another excavation on one of the Ōsumi Islands. Mother had decided she liked Japan and Yoko and I got liked it as well so we had moved here. About a month ago, my mother, brother, and I returned from a two-year archeological dig in Egypt, and before we left I was enrolled in this school. I had used the Internet to keep up with the class work, so all there was no reason for me not to get back into a real school for the last two weeks and take the final exams".

A few minutes later they pulled into the drive way at the Kaiba Mansion. Rogue opened the window with a little help from Mokuba and Adan got out and flew beside the car, screeching to her the entire time. The car slowed to a stop and Mokuba went to get out, but Rogue put out an arm to stop him.

"Hold on one second kido," she said. "What's this behind your ear?" She reached into Mokuba's hair and pulled out an apple.

"You can do magic?" he exclaimed excitedly.

"A bit," she answered, handing the apple to him. When Mokuba had gotten out of the car Adan flew back in and gave Rogue her staff. Mokuba then grabbed her hand and dragged her inside.

Rogue's visit to the Kaiba's was very enjoyable. Sure the elder Kaiba wasn't around too much, but she could have cared less. Sadly, Mokuba failed to teach her Duel Monsters properly because she couldn't see. In his distress, she comforted him by performing some more of her magic tricks. Around six they took her home, where Mokuba met her mother and got to look around her home.

On his way out, Mokuba asked Rogue a few more questions. "I forgot to ask you this before, but how old are you?"

"Seventeen, well almost, I will be tomorrow." (Today was Monday.)

"May 28?"

"You got it."

"What do you want for your birthday?"

Rogue blushed, "You don't have to get me any thing..."

"But what if I want to,"

"The best gift you could give me is the one you gave me today, your friendship." (A/N: Sorry, I just had to make her say that. No, she's not another friendship freak like Tea.) Rogue ruffled his hair and saw him out the door.

After the limousine had driven away, Rogue went up to her room, and turned on her laptop so she could check her e-mail. Her e-mail had been programmed so that it would be read aloud to her by the computer.

"You have two messages," the computer said in a monotonous tone.

"Wonder who they're from," Rogue muttered to herself and clicked on the first one.

"Hey Rogue, it's Malik. How are you? I hope you and your family are doing alright. Where are you now? You mentioned going back to Japan when the dig in Egypt was over. If you're there, I hope you can stay for a while because I may be coming to Japan for a while. Maybe we could hang out sometime while I'm there. Do you still have that necklace I gave you? If you don't, well, you told me you did have a tendency to lose things, so don't worry. Don't let anyone get you down. Missing you very much; Malik."

Rogue felt her cheeks grow very warm. She had met Malik on the excavation in Egypt and ever since they had been pretty close friends. Okay, okay, he had kissed her once, but that didn't make them boyfriend and girlfriend, did it ... anyhow she clicked on the other one and the computer began to read it.

"Hey there Rogue, it's Serenity Wheeler, you remember me right? Well, as I told you at summer camp a while ago, my eyesight is still failing. But guess what? My brother entered the Duelist Kingdom Tournament and won the prize money to pay for the operation that can prevent me from going blind. And I'm coming to Domino for my procedure. If you're in Japan now, ask your mom if you can come to Domino until it's done. It takes place this Sunday. I hope you can come see me before and after the operation. I'm arriving Saturday morning by train at noon, meet me there if you can. Hope to see you later, Serenity."

Rogue felt her jaw drop. Serenity's brother, win enough money to pay for the operation? That must cost three million bucks! How? She never knew he was a duelist. But then again Serenity had told her she hadn't seen her brother for years, so he may have become a duelist in that time frame. Rogue quickly typed back her reply (1) then got ready for bed and went to sleep.

Blind people can actually type. You know those little bumps on the F and J keys on the keyboard? Those are to help blind people type once they memorized the keyboard.

Anaya's Creator: That's a wrap!

Malik: Why aren't I in it yet?

Anaya's Creator: You were in it.

Malik: Yeah, an e-mail.

Anaya's Creator: Chill, you'll be in the next one. I promise.

Malik: I'll hold you to it.

Anaya's Creator: Sure, review people!
