Chapter 1: First Impressions

---------------------------------------

The alarm clock rang at exactly 8:00 am making two girls fall out of their beds.

"Who turned it on so loud?" called one of them.

"It was automatic, I'm sorry," mumbled the other one.

They walked tiredly into the hall. The brunette sleepily rubbed her golden honey colored eyes and yawned, "But I just went to sleep."

The dirty blonde with blue eyes almost fell from sleep in response.

"Selena! Don't do that…oh great! You woke me up!" exclaimed the brunette by the name of Mitsuke.

"I'll try next time." Selena said sarcastically going into the bathroom.

"HURRY UP IN THERE" shouted Mitsuke.

"Sure…"

Selena brushed her teeth and clipped her hair into a bun behind her head. Two stubborn pieces of hair framed her face creating an ominous shadow as she continued her morning routines.

Finally she was done and it was Mitsuke's turn. She stepped out of the bathroom putting on a fake smile.

Mitsuke looked at Selena suspiciously. She had known her for what seemed like a lifetime. When she was little she remembered running from something and bumping into her and from that day on they supported each other. But for some reason Selena at times appeared paler than she should be…especially when she pulled her hair back into a bun. And to add to the suspicion at times, Selena would often bring up the topic of death. Asidefrom that, she was pretty funny and sarcastic even if she was very hot headed. Hey, everyone had their flaws right?

Mitsuke on the other hand was happy, nice, and funny. The only flaws she had was being too clumsy at times and slightly on the stupid side. Getting into the bathroom, she brushed her teeth combed her hair leaving it down and did the rest of the stuff. Then she heard Selena exclaim, "God, these outfits are hideous…"

"How so?" she asked.

Selena replied, "The skirt is way to short…. I mean do they have a problem with their size systems? Whoa….that sounded…wrong."

Mitsuke chuckled and got some breakfast. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"No thanks--not hungry," called Selena from her room where she was putting on the outfit. Mitsuke shrugged one shoulder eating some rice and going into her room. "What kind of perverted school is this?" she exclaimed.

"I told you."

In thirty minutes both girls were walking towards their new school, "Domino High".

"I'm so overjoyed…" said Selena, gloomily.

"Oh no, not again," said Mitsuke. "I hope they don't have one of those big clocks with the rate of speed of turning one minute every hour."

"You just made too much sense for me…"

"Oh yes, I tend to do that, don't I?"

Selena and Mitsuke stopped talking for they had arrived at the steps of the school.

"Suddenly I d-" Selena was cut off by a brunet (masculine form) bumping into her and sending her to the ground for the second time this day.

"Selena, are you alright?" asked Mitsuke helping her up.

"Yea, YOU'RE EXCUSED!!!" she yelled after the brunet, dusting off some dirt and wiping dried blood.

"What?!" he spat, spinning around.

Mitsuke sweatdropped. "Something tells me you shouldn't have yelled that…"

"Good job, Sherlock," Selena remarked. She flicked the middle finger at the jerk. "You heard me! You just freaking pushed me to the ground, you asshole!"

"Does it look like I care?" the boy asked, glaring and walking off.

Without saying another word the two girls came into the school and sat down in the cafeteria to be given their schedules. Mitsuke sat down fiddling with her skirt and Selena paced the cafeteria afraid that her temper would rise to its boiling point.

"Do you believe in the one?" asked Mitsuke out of nowhere.

Selena scoffed, "Well, even if I did, mine probably took a wrong corner, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions."

"Sometimes I think that's what happened to mine also..."

"Oh, don't be so pessimistic," chuckled Selena.

"Yea, you're one to talk."

Soon after, a teacher came out and handed them their schedules and locker numbers. They thanked her and went towards their lockers.

As Mitsuke was walking the late bell rang, she noticed that not many people were in the halls and started running, afraid that she would be late for her first class. But she soon realized a locker door open a little too late because in the next moment she found herself on the floor, wincing from pain. There were two blurry figures looming above of her.

"Are you alright?" asked one. She made out the voice to be Selena's. But the other figure was laughing…

"This is not funny," she muttered, rubbing her head and trying to get that ringing sound out of her ears.

"To you two, it may not be," said the other figure. He had dark tan skin, blonde hair and what looked like dark blue eyes. "But for me that was hilarious."

"Oh, shut up, you he/she" groaned Mitsuke finally getting to her feet and realizing that her locker number was right next to the guy who'd just laughed at her clumsiness. She put some of her books in it and closed it with her lock. Meanwhile, Selena did the same thing.

"My name is Marik, by the way," said the blonde boy before turning to leave for his first class.

To Selena, Mitsuke was in some sort of daze so she called out her name, becoming a little impatient.

"So….cute," were the first words coming out of her mouth. "I mean--uh...lets go to our first class!"

Selena gave her a suspicious glance but dismissed everything when the teacher gave them their seats. She had to sit next to the brunet who send her to the floor! How lucky. And now she knew his name--Seto Kaiba. 'Well what can you expect from a sea horse' Selena thought to herself in despair.

To Mitsuke's luck she got to sit next to Marik.

And so, the day dragged on first with math, then with English, then science, and then another class that even Selena couldn't remember because even she had trouble not falling asleep. Then came lunch.

Selena and Mitsuke paid for their lunches and sat down at a table. They were soon joined by a group of kids. One of them was short with really weird hair.

"Kid, have you played outside when there was lightning?" joked Selena at seeing the kids' hair.

Later they found out his name was Yugi. His acquaintances were Joey--a guy with short blonde hair and brown eyes, Tea--a girl with short brown hair and blue eyes, Serenity--a girl with long brown hair and brown eyes (starting her first year), and Tristan--a guy with brown hair and a spike in front.

Selena got up to throw out her lunch when from the corner of her eye she saw Seto sitting alone and reading a book. Something about this made her feel like crying so she came up behind him.

"Why are you sitting alone?" she asked him.

"That is none of your business," he said sharply.

"I'm just …asking."

All she received was a cold glare so she turned and strolled back to where Mitsuke and Yugi's group was. They were all chatting happily except Selena but then there came a tapping on Mitsuke's shoulder making her jump almost five feet in the air. She spun around to find the Marik person from before.

"What?" she asked.

"Oh, just was wondering why in the world you're sitting with the geeks," he responded with a smirk.

"The only geek I see is you," she said, blushing furiously and not liking how he referred to her newly found friends.

"Oh really? I'm just trying to help you out of social suicide," he snapped.

Then a whole big war started between the two of them. This made Joey laugh. And both of them turn and at the same time ask, "WHAT?"

"You two sound like an old married couple," he answered, simply making everyone at the table laugh.

Soon enough the school day was over and everyone was chatting in their last classes, waiting for the bell.

"Selena, why are you always like that?" asked Mitsuke, who was seated next to Marik (as I've said before) in a row just in front of Selena and Seto.

"Like what?"

"Pale. And you scream in your dreams."

"Because remember in the alley we met when we were like 5? Well before that…Someone shot my sister that's why I ran--I couldn't take the blood."

With that the bell rang and the students were dismissed…

Meanwhile in a dark cave...

"It is time to fix up your mistake my servant."

"I will get the two before they find out what they're capable of."

"Are you sure?"

"I will kill them like I killed the third. I swear to you master."

"Good"
