BubbleWheel: Hi I'm back. I thought to myself that a prologue just doesn't make sense unless you have a chapter to follow it. So that's what I'm doing. I home you enjoy this chapter as well.

Chapter 1: I promised we'd meet again.
It was a quiet morning in the city of Domino. The residents of the houses along the streets were just waking up from a stormy night, 7:30 am alarms were going off everywhere. The streets were empty and wet, from all the rain that fell during the night, except for one lonely motorcycle blazing down the streets. The motorcycle had stopped on the corner in front of a coffee shop. Though the coffee shop was very small; the person who owned the store made the best coffee in the whole city.
The person riding the motorcycle got off their bike. After they took off their helmet you could see it was a man. This man was of average height for his age, which looked about 21 years. He wore a dark coloured trench coat with a warm grey belly top underneath. His pants were also a dark colour. Beneath his helmet was his short dark ruby red hair. He was wearing sunglasses so his eyes were hidden from seeing what was inside of him.
Inside the coffee shop behind the marble topped ordering counter sat a girl, a girl with flowing wavy white hair and exhausted blue eyes. She looked about the same age as the man with the motorcycle still lingering outside. Her head was down on the surface of the counter. She looked very tired and most of all bored. She had gotten up at 6:00 am to open the coffee shop for 6:30 am. She hadn't had a customer since, that is until she noticed a man outside locking up his motorcycle.
'Mmm…..' she thought curiously. Then she realized he was walking towards the shop.
She straightened up her hair and tried her best to wipe the tired expression from her eyes. As the man walked though the door a chime was heard allowing the shop owner to know a customer has arrived. She welcomed him with a warm, friendly smile.
"Good morning sir, Welcome to Hiigawaza. How can I help you?" she asked.
"Hello," he said sitting himself at one of the stools by the counter. "I'd like 2 lattes, 1 with no foam, a black coffee, and 2 cappuccinos "ordered the customer.
"I know someone who came in with that exact same order last month, the no foam on one latte and everything. His name was Valon, do you know him?" she inquired.
"Yes, in some way you can call him a friend of mine. I have to keep reminding him to not order foam on one. It's a pain in the ass sometimes." he replied.
The girl started to giggle. The man looked up at her quizzically watching her giggle. "Sorry sir." she started, "I just find it a little funny. I'm sorry if I may have offended you." she said a little embarrassed now.
"No, not at all, it's find that you laughed." he said looking at her through his sunglasses.
The jingle on the door went again signaling a new customer was here. This time a brunette walked in, his hair was all over the place, it was sticking up every which way, on his hair rested a pair of goggles. His eyes were a pale blue; he was wearing a dark blue shirt underneath a light creamy coloured jacket, he had blue jeans on and black boots.
"I know good coffee doesn't grow on trees, Alister, but you need to hurry it up a bit. We don't want Dartz-sama to have to wait for his coffee again; remember last time." said the jumping brunette.
"Don't remind me Valon." Alister, or so he was called, shivered a bit. "Anyways I'm not the one making the coffee, Kagura is." he stated while scribbling something on a nearby napkin.
"Right now it doesn't matter we need that coffee pronto. Oh and hi Kagura, sorry that I'm rushing you but I really need you to hurry it up." Valon said rushing like he had already had a cup of coffee this morning.
"It's alright Valon, I'm done, It's nice to see you again," she said "that will be 1,300 yen please." she asked Alister.
Alister placed the money on the counter, before they saw a couple of people walk into the shop. It was Yugi and Joey. Right away Yugi and Joey recognized the other two guys. But they were too shocked to see them in a coffee shop to say anything.
"Don't look so surprised, Wheeler, even DOOM has to have their coffee in the morning." Alister said in a 'who- doesn't –have –coffee- in- the –morning' fashion. Alister then got up from his seat and took the coffee with him and headed out the door. Leaving the napkin he scribbled on with the counter with the money. He then tightly strapped the coffee on to a rack he had at the back of his motorcycle and then him and Valon raced off down the street that was not as empty as it was before when Alister first stopped at the shop.
Kagura looked very confused. She had thousands of questions running though her head. The biggest one was 'how did he know my name when I didn't even tell him what it was? Has Valon talked about me before? Why does he look familiar?'
"Kagura, hello earth to Higawaza." Joey said waving a hand in front of her face so she would snap out of trance she looked like she was in.
"Oh, sorry, I was just caught in deep thought. Would you two like the usual?" she asked.
The two boys nodded their heads. She smiled at them and went to go make their coffee.
It was really silent between the 3 of them. Joey got really bored so and noticed a napkin that was folded. Joey went to grab it went Kagura pulled it away from him and placed his coffee on the counter in front of him.
"Can't you read Joey, it says Kagura on it. It's for me." she said mad that Joey was touching her stuff. "I'll read it now just so you can't peek at it again." Kagura said slyly. She opened the folded napkin. It had a phone number on it and a short message.
Kagura-
I have given you my cell phone number, so, if you want, you can give me a call so time and you and I can go out to lunch.
- Alister.
She just smiled, "Thank you Alister that was very kind of you."Kagura mumbled.
"Did you say something, Kagura?" Yugi asked sipping his hot coffee.
"No I said nothing." she answered with a happy satisfied smile on her face.
