Chapter two: Haburi who?

Hello people! Fanfiction is still being a biatch to me, and I'm trying to figure out how this whole thing works. If this sucks, let me know. If it doesn't, let me know more.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, I own my OCs, and THAT'S IT. If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh, then the dialogue would be GREATLY modified.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"What do you want to know?" he asked, like it was a press interview.

"We know all about you, Yugi Motou." Skye said, seriously.

Yugi gulped, he had no idea what she was talking about, but he didn't like it.

"We are from an alternate dimension. We traveled here with the use of this." Skye pulled out the statue from her back pocket and showed it to him.

/It is real/ his Yami assured him. Yugi nodded to Skye.

"My friend and I come from a world where your life is a television show. I know things even you and your Yami don't know."

Yugi jumped slightly at the mention of his yami, and Skye smiled slightly.

"I am nothing to fear, Yugi. In fact, I find you to be quite intimidating."

Aja gave a slight snort, and averted her eyes to the front of the game shop.

"Why are you telling me this?" Yugi asked, shyly.

"The show I speak of is all about you, Yugi. Your trials, your tribulations, your secrets." She paused, letting this sink in. Yugi's eyes were wide.

"I was hoping you could help me and my friend." Skye gestured to Aja.

"You want to get back to your own dimension?" Yugi asked.

Aja and Skye were actually slightly surprised that Yugi believed Skye. Even despite all he had encountered before, they thought he would be even a LITTLE doubtful.

"Oh RA no." Skye said, almost laughing. "We figured you might be the only one to believe us, so we came here to ask if we could bunk here for a while."

Yugi's eyes got even wider with surprise, if that was even humanly possible, and he tried to speak. Nothing came out, except one word.

"Alright."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

After Skye had filed Yugi in on what they knew up to this point, he was blushing madly. His grandpa had been filed in as well, and the girls were to crash in Yugi's room, since the apartment was to small for them to sleep anywhere else. Aja was sound asleep on the floor, and Skye was up with the pharaoh.

"I think Yugi should tell the others tomorrow." Yami said with a sigh.

"About me and Aja?"

He nodded.

"You look taller in person." She said.

Yami smiled, and walked over to the other side of the room, where the statue was at.

"I'm glad you showed up when you did." He said, putting the statue down.

"Why?" Skye asked curiously.

"Yugi was getting bored."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Skye was almost to the point of skipping when she realized that she was going to go to school with her favorite TV characters, whether they knew they were famous or not. Yugi's grandpa had taken care of the whole enrollment thing with a lie that the two were relatives coming to live with them. Hence Skye's skipping. She was with Aja, dragging behind the rest of the group. Yugi was up ahead with the rest of the gang, and they were glancing back every so often. Yugi told Skye that he was going to fill them in on the way to school, so her and Aja were walking patiently behind. They were almost half way there when Yugi seemed to have finished the story. Joey turned and walked back to the girls. He was the same height as Skye, so he looked her in the eye.

"When is my birthday?"

Aja turned to Skye. She knew EVERYTHING about Joey Wheeler.

"January 25th." She said with out blinking.

Joey sighed.

"Ok, she's for real." He walked back to the group, and everyone had an anime sweat drop on their forehead.

Once at the school, the group made their way to class B, where they all found their seats. Unfortunately, there were no seats available near anyone she knew, so Skye had to sit next to a nameless nobody reading a book. She sighed, and pulled out a book of her own.

"To Kill a Mockingbird." The nobody said to her.

She froze. She was quite sure that Aja would have killed half the people in that classroom to be in her shoes right now. She recognized the voice as the one belonging to Seto Kaiba.

"Yes."

She tried hard to look un-distracted by his presence, but it wasn't working. Hopefully, he couldn't tell she was so tense.

"A good book."

"Yes."

Thankfully, or unthankfully, the teacher strode into the room with a big grin on her face. Skye and Aja locked glances. It was the evil Ms. Chono.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Hello class, I see we have a few new students. Will Skye and Aja Motou please come to the front of the class?"

Seto Kaiba froze and stared at the girl sitting next to him. He had just talked to her. A MOTOU. He shuddered as she got up and stood at the front of the class, along with another girl. The second was very attractive, and she reminded him of himself.

"Hello." Said the first, "My name is Skye Motou, and this is my sister, Aja. We moved here from America, and Yugi is our cousin."

Everyone's eyes darted from Skye and Aja to Yugi. He smiled timidly; he didn't like to be the center of attention.

"Why isn't Aja speaking for herself?" Ms. Chono asked wickedly.

"She doesn't like to talk." Skye said. If you only knew the half of it.

"Fine, sit down."

Once Skye and Aja had found their seats, Yugi turned around and winked at Skye. She smiled back, and Seto went back to reading his book.

At lunch, the introductions became formal.

"Skye, Aja, this is Joey, Tea, Ryou, and Tristin." Yugi said.

"We know." The two said back as they stuck out their hands. Aja more reluctant than Skye.

After the formal introductions, the group started to pelt Aja and Skye with questions. Skye had to answer most of them.

"Are there any differences between the game in your world and ours?" Ryou Bakura asked.

"Rules mostly, they only differ slightly. Aja and I like to play by the rules on the show. Here, see for yourself."

Skye pulled out her deck that was clipped to her belt. She handed it to Ryou, and everyone gathered around him.

"I like that card." Ryou said, pointing to one that Skye and Aja couldn't see. Skye guessed.

"Change of heart?"

"Wow, you really DO know everything about us." Tristin said, staring wide eyed at the card.

"Not to mention the HUGE crush Skye had on- UGFF!" Skye pelted Aja in the stomach with a banana, and she recovered, laughing.

"You don't talk much, do you?" Joey asked Aja.

She suddenly got quiet, and shook her head no.

"You remind me of Kaiba." Joey said.

Everyone stared at Joey like he had just said some HUGE insult, except Skye and Aja. Aja was smiling proudly.

"She wants to marry him someday." Skye said, ducking Aja's punch.

Everyone made a mock puking sound, and Aja pouted. Everyone laughed, except someone who was observing from a good distance. He was just close enough to hear them.

Interesting.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Two weeks passed, and Aja learned of Skye's seat next to Kaiba on the first day. Each time they went to class it looked as though Aja was getting closer to Skye, when in fact she was aiming at Kaiba. Ms. Chono had a routine bag check every morning; luckily, no one had anything to hide. Skye got a job D.J.ing at a club in the south part of Domino, and Aja got a job at the Domino museum.

"I LOST!" Skye shot up her hands triumphantly as Yami Yugi looked at her like she was insane.

"Why are you happy?" Aja asked from across the room. She was designing a poster for her Art class, and she was putting all of her effort into it.

"I LOST to the spirit inside the sennen puzzle, does this mean NOTHING to you?"

Aja sighed, and Yami blushed, if blushing were humanly possible for him. Skye looked at the clock, and jumped up in surprise.

"Jeepers, I have to be at the club in an hour." Skye said with a whine.

"Have fun." Aja said, not looking up from her work. She never came to the club with Skye. Even back in their world, Aja had to be dragged from her room to go anywhere.

"I'll come." Yami said, getting up. "I think Yugi would like it."

Skye smiled and picked up the phone.

"I'll call Tea, Joey, Tristin, and Ryou."

"Do you think they'll want to come? You have to pay to get in." Yami asked.

"Not when you know the D.J." Skye sang as she twisted the cord with her finger.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

At the club, Skye ushered all of them in. It was the first time any of them had been to Skye's club, and it was definitely new.

"Have fun guys, I'll join you in a few hours when my shift ends!"

The group could barely hear Skye over the loud blare of the music, but they nodded and separated.

It took Joey and Tristin almost seven seconds to find the bar, and Yugi almost four to find a quiet place to hide. Tea was having a blast on the dance floor, and Ryou was hanging out by the D.J. booth.

"Why aren't you dancing, Ryou?" Skye asked while putting a new record on.

"I don't dance!" he shouted over the music.

"Nonsense, go dance with Tea." Skye pushed Ryou into Tea who was dancing only a few feat from the both of them.

Skye laughed and began swaying to the music she was playing. Everything was perfect, and she would never have to face her reality again…

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Aja stared at the ceiling, and then looked at the clock again. It was almost midnight and Skye hadn't returned yet. She sighed and started to rock the chair. She missed her cat, Luna. She was mistaken when she thought she wouldn't miss her life. She didn't care about her human companions, but she had always had a fondness for animals. Seto Kaiba didn't seem to be worth it.

She leafed through her deck and pulled out her three blue eyes white dragons. They were magnificent, and she smirked when she thought about what Seto Kaiba would do for three cards that he thought didn't exist. Apparently, the cards Skye and Aja brought with them in this dimension transformed into ones valid for plying with. Seto Kaiba believed that there were currently only three of the dragons in existence, and Aja had three as well. She smirked again as she put them away, and looked at the clock. 12:03.

"God damn it!" Aja roared. She was used to having Skye supply her with something to do, and she no longer had Luna to play with.

"Hello, Aja Rockshan."

Aja reached for her knife that she kept hidden in her boot, and swiveled around. A man was standing in the doorway. A man Aja was sure wasn't supposed to be there.

"Who are you?" she asked in a brave voice. Almost nothing could intimidate her.

The man chuckled, and took down the hood that was hiding his face. His hair was night black, and fell loosely to the middle of his neck, with part of it covering his right eye. His left eye, at least, was a shining blue. Not a dark blue, like Seto Kaiba, but a light, sky blue. His face was handsome, and his eased expression was fascinating. He chuckled again as he spoke.

"I am simply a collector." He replied to Aja's question.

"I will never give you my cards." Aja said, standing her ground.

"Not of duel monsters, child. Of power."

As much as Aja hated being called a child, her instincts told her that she could not take on this man, and she would have to make a break for it.

"Do not even try to run, child. I am a collector of souls who posses great power, and I feel that in you. You are to come with me."

Like shit I am. Aja thought as he turned heels.

"You WILL come with me." He said, as if reading her thoughts.

Suddenly, Aja couldn't control her movements anymore. She was strangely drawn to him, and she could not explain why.

"What is your name?" she asked, wishing for her question to stall him.

"Although your question will not succeed in stalling me, the answer is… Haburi Korekuta."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"AJA!" Skye called as she opened the door to Yugi's room.

She knew that since it was one in the morning, Aja would be asleep, and she felt like pissing her off. It had been a good night at the club. Skye had even got Yugi to dance. No such luck with Tristin or Joey though, once they found the free peanuts.

"AJA!" she called again, looking around the room.

Yugi followed Skye into the room, and tried to hush her.

"Grandpa will be asleep, we don't want to wake him."

"Fine." Skye whispered, peering under the bed. "Hey, where's Aja?"

Yugi shrugged his shoulders and looked out the open window. Seeing that there was nothing there, he closed it. What he found then surprised him a lot. There was writing on the window… In lipstick.

"Skye." He gestured for her to come to the window.

HABURI KOREKUTA

Was written in bold letters.

"Who's Haburi?" Skye asked, fearing for her friend.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"SETO!" Mokuba called as he hurried through the halls of the mansion.

The little eleven-year-old couldn't find his brother, and he needed to ask him a problem from his math homework. It might have been almost seven in the morning, but Mokuba liked to procrastinate.

"SETO!" he called again. Hwy wasn't his brother answering the call?

It might have been a big house, but Seto Kaiba could always hear his brother in need.

Mokuba made his way to Seto's room, and saw that it was empty. The computer screen was blank, and the chair was empty.

"Seto?" Mokuba asked a noise he heard in the corner of the dark room.

There was a movement in the corner Mokuba heard the noise come from, and he inched toward it.

"Seto?"

"MEOW!" a small black kitten pounced on Mokuba, and the boy giggled.

"Hello, Selena." Mokuba said as he pet the small animal.

He put her down and went to the computer. He found that the screen wasn't blank, but had a single word typed on it in small print.

HABURI

"Who?" Mokuba thought aloud.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Remember, never eat soggy waffles.
