Hey, all!
I was going to have what just happened in the story be a kind of a mystery and have the audience try to figure out what in the world was going on, but after several trys and retrys of this chapter, I have decided that it is easier to just tell you, so I can tell my story.
Basicly, what's happening, is that Yugi and Daricio (Me) are forming a mental bond. Every time he gets transported to Daricio's room, the bond gets stronger. Neither Yugi or Daricio know what's going on.
The reason Yami isn't also forming a link with her, is that he's so independant, that he can't have links with anyone unless he makes them.
Just for a note, anything you see one character doing, the other is probably doing something like it.
At first, it seems as though it's just plain weird that they are doing almost the exact same thing at the exact same time, but after a while it starts to get them into a bit of trouble.... Read on....
**************************************************************************** **
Yugi tried to get through the school day without bringing much attention to himself, but that's kind of hard when you're Yu-Gi-Oh, the newspaper says you've dissappeared, and you have unhideable, noticable, multicolored hair. Needless to say he was attracting quite a few stares.
Right now, he was in his math class. He tried hard to consentrate on his work, but it was very difficult. Not only was he being stared at by virtually everyone, the lesson was on quadratic equations and imaginary numbers. It was very confusing.
//Ok, I have to take the opposite of B and divide it by two times A, then add/subtract the square root of B squared minus four times A times C, then divide all that by two times A.... Right?// Yugi tried to figure it out.
//Uh....Yeah...Right.....I think.....//Yami was trying to figure it out too.
//So, because the problem is two X squared plus four X plus ten, I have to take the opposite of four and divide it by 2 times two which is four. Then I either add or subtract the square root of four squared minus four times two times ten and divide all of that by two times two. // Yugi thought he had it figured out now.
//Uh, Yup..... That's what the teacher said......//Yami tried to keep up with Yugi. //Why couldn't I have remembered all of my math skills from when I was Pharoah? Then this would be SO much easier....//
// I have no clue, Yami.... Anyway.....That turns out being.... negative one plus or minus the square root of negative ninety-six. Then I divide that by four. uh.......That would be......uh.... Ok, great. This problem requires imaginary numbers because there is no such thing as the square root of a negative number..... So that is.... negative one plus or minus i times the square root of ninety-six, then divide that by four....... Wow. My head hurts now.//Yugi stared at the problem some more and sighed. // I guess I don't have this down as well as I thought I did. This is confusing.//
**************************************************************************** **
When Daricio had gotten to school, somehow she had just KNOWN that this was going to be a bad day. As she went through school, things just kept getting stranger and stranger.
Now she was heading to math class. Lunch was after that and she was greatly looking forward to the one time she was actually allowed to take out her Yu- Gi-Oh cards and do some trading and dueling. She sighed. That was a whole hour away, and she had a test in math.
She walked into the classroom and sat down. She dug around in her bag for a pencil and then began tapping it against the side of her desk waiting for class to start and the test to be passed out.
She watched people file into the room. It had been a whole three months since school had started and she started at High School for her freshman year, and she still didn't know the names of most of the people in her classes.
She kept tapping her pencil against the side of her desk as she tried to remember some of their names. After a while, began to stare off into outer space. She didn't even notice when her best friend, Josh, walked up next to her.
"Hi!" He said. Daricio jumped.
"Oh, Hi." She said. "how are you?"
"Doing okay. How about you? You're sure jumpy today. Anything wrong?" He asked her.
"Oh, I'm fine.... It's just..." Daricio searched for the right words to tell him what had been happening without telling him about the stuff that had happened with her tins.
"Never mind." Josh said, seeing that it was hard for her to explain. "Guess what I did this weekend?"
They talked about stuff until the teacher, Mr Glock, called the class to attention and Josh had to go sit down.
"Today, is the Unit Four Test! It is mostly going to be about quadratic equations and imaginary numbers which, as you know, we have been studying for the past couple of weeks." Mr. Glock said enthusiasticly. He was always a very optimistic person.
"There are to be no notes on this test, and no hats are to be worn so I can see your eyes... Not that any of you will CHEAT of course...." He looked over at a couple of kids who were joking around in the back of the room. "Right?" He asked directing the question at them.
"Huh? Oh, yeah right." One of them said. He straightened up in his seat.
Mr. Glock passed out the tests. A nervous silence enveloped the room. Daricio felt confident that she could figure these out. They were fairly simple to her, and she was good at taking tests. She stared at her paper and began to work on the first problem. She tried to consentrate, but for some reason, she was feeling really confused. Suddenly she heard a voice that seemed to echo throughout the room.
"This is confusing" The person said. Daricio looked around quickly to spot the person who would dare disrupt the silence of a test. Nobody else was looking around; they were all consentrating on their tests. How could they not have heard that voice? Not even Mr. Glock appeared to have noticed.
Daricio shrugged, then went back to her test. She must be hearing things...
At the end of math, Daricio went to her locker. She flipped the combination lock to the numbers of her combo, then tried to open it. It didn't budge. She twisted the lock and tried again. It still didn't move. She thought the numbers in her head as she flipped the lock one more time. She tried and she tried, but it didn't work.
Had she forgotten her locker combo? No, how could she have? She knew the numbers. 55-92-57. (Note: random numbers have been inserted here. This is not a real combo.) Why didn't the combo work? Wait. 55-92-57 wasn't her locker combo...... She spun the lock to the correct combo and opened it up.
That was weird. Why had she thought that those numbers were her locker combo? She didn't use those numbers for anything else, so how could she have gotten them mixed up with her combo? And who had been speaking in math class during the test?
She shook her head. This was too confusing to think about and she was already late getting upstairs to trade Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
She grabbed her lunch and her tin of cards, (She only takes one tin to school, the rest she leaves at home) and headed up the stairs.
Everyone in the group was already dueling and trading. She looked around for people she knew. The only ones she did know were involved in a duel. She sat down at the edge of the group to watch the duel while she ate her lunch.
**************************************************************************** ***
Yugi walked down the hall towards his locker. When he got there, Tristan was waiting there for him.
"Hey, Tristan" Yugi said, sounding really tired.
"Hey, Yugi. What's going on? What happened at that duel?" Tristan was worried.
"Didn't Joey tell you?" Yugi asked.
"Well, uh.....no....I don't think so...... I mean...... He was telling me something at that food place last night, but I wasn't really paying attention." Tristan replied.
"Oh. Well, I'll tell you about it later. I don't want to talk about it right now." Yugi replied
"Ok. Hey, watch out for Bakura today. He was really upset when you dissappeared, but when he saw you in class today, he looked like he was about to freak! I know that's totally NOT like Bakura at all, but that's what he looked like." Tristan warned him.
"Uh, thanks for telling me...... I think...." Yugi said, suddenly remembering the episode he had watched in Darico's room.
"Hey, no problem. I gotta go eat something now, I'm, like, totally starving!!!!" Tristan ran off toards the lunchroom.
Yugi turned to his locker and twisted the combination lock. //Let's see. I hate having to remember this combo.// Yugi complained silently. //Ok, um..... 55........92.......57..... There!// The locker opened. Yugi dumped a bunch of books inside and pulled out his lunch.
//Yugi, maybe you should eat somewhere private today instead of in the lunchroom. That way you're less likely to get noticed by Bakura.// Yami suggested.
//Good idea.// He headed for the school door so he could eat outside.
**************************************************************************** **
Daricio watched the duel silently. She didn't like to get herself noticed in these groups. She was the only girl there that was into the game more than just collecting "cutey" cards that everyone else gave away.
She stepped away from the group slightly and went over to a corner. Then she took out her tin (being very careful not to hit the square) and took out her deck to look through it.
As she put the lid back on the tin, however, she hit a square on the other side of the tin that she hadn't seen before. Suddenly the Dark Magicain in the background of the tin began to glow. Then it popped out!!!
As Daricio stared at it, it began to look around, slightly confused. Daricio quickly tried to hide it from the sight of everyone else in the room.
Before she could, though, it spotted one of the kids. It lifted it's staff and a protion of the room went opposite colors.
After about two seconds, the room changed back to normal, but a lot of the kids in the room looked slightly dazed.
Daricio gasped and hit the Dark Magicain's square again, causing it to dissappear, once again, back into the tin.
"Hey, you!" A voice shouted. Daricio looked up. A tall boy was staring at her. "Do you actually have enough cards to duel?"
Daricio nodded and held up her deck slightly.
"Come duel me!" He called. Daricio walked over and agreed to the duel. After shuffling her deck and placing it on the field, the boy asked her name.
"I'm Daricio. Who are you?" She said politely.
"I'm Chris. And I'm going to blow you away in this duel!" Chris grinned and drew his hand.
Someone from the crowd commented, "Aw, you just want to duel the GIRL because you got totally creamed in your last duel and you want someone easy to cream."
Daricio went slightly red in the face. She'd show HIM who was weak and easy to cream.
The duel continued, and after about 10 minutes, it ended. Daricio had won. She began to gather up her cards and put them away, when Chris stood up quickly and knocked them all to the floor.
"Hey!" Daricio yelled. "What was that for?"
"This is a total embarrasment! I got beaten by a GIRL!!!!!" He ranted and raved. He was really mad. "You. Me. Fight. After school!" He yelled, then he stomped away towards his class leaving Darico to pick up her cards.
"Whoa!" Someone commented. "You're in trouble, now! Chris may be easy to cream in a duel, but he's a top fighter!"
Daricio was shocked. She had never gotten into a fight before, and especially not over losing a duel! What was she going to do?
**************************************************************************** *
Yugi walked over towards a bench that was partially hidden behind a bush and sat down. He took out his lunch, but somehow, he just didn't feel like eating. He took out his deck and began to look through it.
He stopped at his favorite card, the Dark Magicain and began staring at it. It had gotten him out of several tight spaces before, and he didn't think it would ever fail him.
He was just about to flip through his deck again, when the Dark Magician dissappeared!
"Wha? Huh? My....Dark...." He quickly looked throughout his deck searching for the card. It was nowhere to be found. He looked everywhere including the ground around him.
He sighed and then then stared at his deck in his hand.
//What just happened?// He wondered. Just as suddenly as it had disappeared, the Dark Magicain reappeared on the top of his deck!
"Wha?......." He stared at it for a while. He ate his luch, still staring at the card, afraid that it would dissappear again.
//Yugi, relax. I have no clue what happened either, but think about it. Daricio can make people from our world disappear, right? If she can do that, she can probably make the duel monsters disappear too. It probably went to Daricio's room, then back.// Yami tried to calm him down.
//You're right// Yugi sighed. //But, this is not something that happens every day, that's for sure.//
He finished his lunch, then started back towards the school. Bakura was standing at the door.
"Uh......hi....Bakura......" Yugi said.
"Great move yesterday, Yugi." Bakura said sarcasticly. He mimicked Yugi. "i play this card face down, and then I'll dissappear. Yeah, great move! You went and worried everyone, and for what? So that you wouldn't have to duel me! You may have been brave and all back at duelist Kingdom, but face it! You're a coward, Yugi!"
He turned and walked into the school building. Over his shoulder he called, "Meet me after school, Yugi, and we'll settle this!"
Yugi was shocked. He had never gotten into a fight at school before!
//Bakura thinks I did that on purpose just to not duel him?// Yugi was very sad.
//Don't...I mean.....Well....// Yami was at a loss of words, for once. //Are you going to fight him?//
//Of course not! I'll just explain to him what happened, then......then.....//Yugi sighed. //Then he'll think I'm nuts.//
He walked slowly into the building.
//I don't want to fight him......I've never fought anyone before.........But, I may have to.......//Yugi sighed.

Is this still confusing? if it is, tell me and I shall elaborate further. Also, as always, any ideas are appreciated.
