Sorry I haven't updated in like ten years, but school got in the way. Then, before I knew it it was Christmas. Oh well, anyway here we go.

disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teen Titans do NOT belong to me, they belong to the creators...not me. No songs in this belong to me. The names of the artists here aren't mine either.

I am running home now, because it's pouring. I hate the rain, but what choice do I have?

I get home and look around my house for my CD player and headphones. When I find them, I listen to my favorite R&B/hip-hop station. As soon as Alicia Keys is blaring into them, I close my eyes.

Your love's got me lookin' so crazy right now....

Okay Beyonce. I'm awake. I sit up and rub the sleep from my eyes. I look at the clock. 6:54. I hate waking up early.

Damn, I forgot. Yesterday was a Sunday, so today I have school. And that means I'm going to be late! School in Japan starts at 7:15. (If it really does, great..but if not, -shrugs-)

Rushing tremendously, I grab the school uniform that I'd gotten when I'd signed up to go to high school here. I slip into my knee-socks and shoes, then brush my teeth. I barely have time to grab the small back-pack I bought back in the U.S.A.

Running like a mad-woman, I think to myself, Real great impression, Star. Be late on your first day.

Luckily, I make it in perfect time. Just as I touch the steps to the school, the bell rings. A massive crowd starts to dash past me. Owch, why don't you watch where you put those platforms. Ugh, hurry up and move.

Finally, I find my locker. I clutch the locker number and combination in my hand and sigh. Lookie who I've got for a partner.

As soon as I see the kid's snow colored hair, I know I'm stuck with Ryou Bakura. I slowly walk over to him and he looks up.

"Hi, again...Starfire!" he says. "I was told that I was getting a new locker partner, but I didn't think it'd be you."

"Yep." I start unpacking my stuff, my notebooks, my pens. Then I pull out my sketchbook and pencils. Setting my things aside, I sigh and put my backpack on the bottom of our locker.

"I'm going to go to class now, Star." Bakura says and I nod.

Humming to myself, I search for my homeroom. When I find it I close my eyes. Dear Ra, this cannot be my room. But sure enough it is. I reopen my eyes and look around for a place to sit.

All around me there are paper planes flying and kids screaming. Aren't we supposed to be in high school, not kindergarton?

I continue to search for a place to park myself, and finally I see a place. It's the only seat that honestly looks quiet and it's a good place for me to sketch until the teacher gets here.

I push my books under the chair, but keep my sketchbook handy. I look over at the boy next to me. He looks kind of stern and serious. He's just at a laptop typing away. I didn't even know you could bring electronics to school.

I shrug it off and start to draw. No sooner have I gotten a good sketch going, does the teacher come in.

"Alright class, you certainly are rowdy today. Yes it's Monday, I'm glad you had a nice day yesterday." (I can't say 'weekend' because in Japan, they have school on Saturday. At least they get Sunday off)

Okay, I didn't think school was this boring. About the only exciting part of this day was science class. I always have loved to experiment.

Now that it's lunchtime, I grab my lunch and head outside. I seek a place to sit where I can be alone. Everybody's grouped together but me--and the boy I was sitting next to today.
I smile and watch Yugi and his friends laugh at something. They seem so content, I'd better not bother them. Instead, I clutch my lunch sack tighter and sit next to the boy.

He looks up from his laptop, and I notice his unsmiling face. Then he looks back down without saying a word. Again I shrug.

If he doesn't want to talk, what do I care? I just take out the Tameranian noodles I prepared. As soon as I lift the container's lid, he looks up.

"What is that? It smells like it's dead." he says icily. His attitude matches perfectly with his cold blue eyes.

"Well move if you don't like it, I'm sorry my culture disturbs you." I slide a spoon into my noodles.

He just shrugs, looks back down at his computer. Both of us are quiet for awhile, then I speak. "By the way, Grumpy, my name's Starfire. Not that you'd care." He looks up again. "I have no time for you."

Owch, that stings.

"And my name is not grumpy. It's Seto Kaiba." he folds his laptop and gets up. As he walks away, I'm pondering.

On my way to school, I noticed a large building that appeared to have many workers inside. The sign atop it said Kaiba Corp. Is he...?

I snap out of my thoughts as the bell that signals it's time to return to class rings.

Meh, short chapter. Sorry, didn't want to disappoint my reviewers. I have to answer those reviews no matter how annoying it is for you to have to wait for me to update. After I do the reviews, I'll write another chapter.

joethebobcandyman: Gee, thanks! (Eats cheese) Ya know, I really can't give away any secrets, Yami'll be comin' soon enough!

Yami-Yugi3: Thanks, me too.

FlameMaster: Oh, I know! (eats more of the cheese jothebob gave her) And thank you, I'm quite glad you reviewed.
