In this Fanfic Yami runs into a girl who is strange enough on her own, but when Yami gains a crush on this girl he realizes that his destiny and her remarkable destiny are connected… and the duel monsters that Yami is used to, are matched by a living creature of fire…

Jaroo: hello readers! Before you start reading I just want you to know that this is my first Fic. Also I'm new when it comes to anime, (about a year and a half) so if I get something wrong, please tell me, also my grammar is kind of sad, and I apologize. But any way hope you like my story! Also I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, (though I wish I did) so every thing that I write in this Fic is only my imagination.

Ch. 1 The new girl

Yami lay asleep in the puzzle, a strange dream stir in his mind.

The scream of a young child came from the town, Yami races to the spot. His priests follow him, confused. For this pharaoh, was not well thought of. He didn't care about his people. But why? Why did he suddenly become worried this time? They wondered.

Yami came to an ally; two people lay dead on the ground, blood soaked Hand every where. In horror Yami looked up to see a man with a raised sword, hovering over a small child. She had already been attacked. Yami viewed a deep slash on her right arm. The man raised the sword, bringing it down quickly toward the child.

Yami sat up in his soul room. Shocked by what he had just seen. He laughed uneasily though. For this wasn't the most shocking dream he's had. He sat at the side of his bed and looked out to Yugi's mind. Yugi was already awake, and walking to school.

"Good morning Yami." Yugi said through his mind. Yami replied the same why "morning Yugi yawn!"

"I heard that there's supposed to be a new student today." Yugi stated

"Really? Do you know who?" Yami asked, he wasn't really interested but Yugi seemed a little excited, so Yami listened.

"No, I don't even know if they're a boy or girl, only that there is supposed to be a new student"

Yugi walked into the classroom, there he saw his friends. He walked over to them, and sat down at a desk.

"Hey guys! As the new kid come yet?"

"No class hasn't even started yet" Joey said.

"It will soon though," Tristan noted

Just as Tristan said that the bell rang. Every one sat at there assigned seat. The teacher walked into the room. She was holding some books; that she placed on the front desk.

"Well class" she started "as you know were expecting a new student today, but it seems that she's not here yet. We'll get started while we're waiting"

It had been at least 20 minutes and the new girl still hadn't come. Every one was wondering were she was. Maybe she was sick today, or she got lost, or slept in. suddenly the door creaked open, and a girl with long blond hair walked in.

"S-sorry I was late…I-uh; I had something to do before I came… I-it took longer then I thought" the girl had a jumpy voice as though she had been running. Yugi saw her holding her waist. He didn't think much of it; she probably was really out of breath.

"That's fine, it's your first day any way" the teacher smiled. "Why don't you come up front and tell us a little more about your self?" she asked

The girl sighed as she walked to the front of the room, she had a slight limp. No one seemed to take notice.

"My name is Samantha Terrain; I'm from Louisiana in the United States. My family still lives there, so I live alone." She said quickly

"Well Samantha, it's nice to have you in our class. Let's see… you can sit…" the teacher looked around; there was an empty seat by were Yugi sat. "You can sit there by Yugi." She said pointing toward Yugi.

Samantha walked over to the desk. As she sat she cringed, her head tightening on her waist where she was holding in the beginning. Yugi thought this was a little strange.

The rest of the time he kept glancing at the girl. Her hand had not moved from its spot since she came in, till now. There was about 5 minutes in class left when she moved it. She took her hand and slid it under her uniform, when she brought it back into view; her hand was covered in bright red blood. Yugi gasped silently. Samantha noticed him watching. She hid her hand back under her shirt quickly, and leaned over to Yugi.

"If you say anything to anyone and I swear I'll make you regret it!" she snapped in a harsh whisper.

"What in the world happened? Is that why you were late? 'I had something to do' ya right." Yugi snapped back

"This is my own problem not yours, nosey little brat!" she glared at him, just then the bell rang. She got up quickly and raced out of the door, heading for her next class. Yugi followed her. When he finally caught up, he pushed her to the wall. (Yugi noticed she was about Yami's height just then)

"Not my problem? What dose that have to do with any thing? Do you even have any thing covering all that blood?"

"No. I don't I was in a hurry so I couldent do anything to it." She sighed annoyed at the shrimpy kid. "Could you just leave me alone? I can handle this on my own"

"Yugi let me take over, I'll handle this," Yami broke in through the puzzle

"I don't think that would be a good idea, she's new and I don't want to scare her"

"Oh that's nice…" Yami sat annoyed. Yugi continued to talk to Samantha

"Sorry, Sam, but this really isn't something you can just leave alone, let me help you." Yugi remained persistent. Even though he didn't even know this girl. Is kind heart just wouldn't let him forget about the matter at hand. Samantha noticed this and was obviously annoyed.

"Listen! I don't need some scrawny kid help me! So get lost!" she snapped and began walking off. Yugi growled and he ran after her

"Fine then let me at least show you where the nurse's office is." He said. The girl stopped, and turned to meet his eyes.

"Alright, fine. If that will make you happy, but after that leave me alone!" Yugi nodded and sighed. He showed her to the nurse; Samantha refused to tell any thing to her as well. Yugi was late for his next class; he still was worried about that girl. But even though, he was annoyed with her.

"'don't want to scare her' Yugi, I could have helped you with that you know, and I wouldn't have scared her." Yami found that a little funny, even though Yami was a little annoyed. Yugi said nothing, but rolled his eyes and walked to class.

Samantha and Yugi shared a few more classes, in which he paid no attention to her, nor did she to him. It finally came to the point where Yugi didn't trust Samantha. The whole day she was doing wired things, like glancing at his M. puzzle. Every time she did her eyes seemed to gleam. Maybe she knew what it was, and wanted it for her self. Him and Yami have been through that before and don't like to take chances.

School finally ended, as Yugi walked home, he realized that Samantha, though probably 20 feet away from him, was following him. Eventually he got the courage to speak.

"Hey, why are you following me?" he asked, she seemed yet again annoyed

"Following you? My house is down this road, by some game shop. I'm not following you" she said

Yugi turned away, he thought to himself, some one had moved in to the home next to the game shop… this girl must be the same person. Yugi decided to take a different rout home. He didn't want her to know that he lived next door. Yugi got home before Samantha did, he took a short cut.

"So Yami, what do you think about that girl? "Would she be considered dangerous or what?" Yugi asked Yami. Yugi got no answer from him, Yami was thinking about Samantha, that Yugi could tell, but Yami was blocking off other thoughts from Yugi, and he didn't know why.

"Hey, um Yami? Did you hear my question? I asked if you think Samantha is dangerous or not…Yami?"

"Oh, sorry Yugi, I – I was deep in thought, um…"

"Don't worry about it, I just don't trust her, you saw the way she was looking at the puzzle."

"Yes Yugi I saw, but she seemed more surprised then any thing, I wonder why."

"Well either way we should probably keep our eyes out," Yugi began to walk out side, "she'll be home soon I don't know about you but I'm curious to see what she dose"

"You mean spy on her don't you Yugi," Yami laughed.

"n-no, well um, I guess, we've never had someone who would probably steal the puzzle right next door before."

Yami nodded. "Good point"

The puzzle began to glow and soon Yami was standing right next to Yugi. Yugi smiled. The two boys walked to a wooden fence dividing Samantha's yard from their yard. So Yami and Yugi looked around the corner waiting for Samantha to walk down the road. Just as Yugi suspected Samantha hade came to the house next door, she walked inside, but soon after, to the boys luck, she walked out the back door, and sat in a swinging chair on the back porch. There was a tree on her side of the fence, near the back of the two yards. Yugi climbed onto the fence and into the tree. Yami followed. Since it was very warm out, the trees where full of leaves giving Yami and Yugi plenty of cover to see Samantha. The chair didn't have a cover so the boys could see her quite well. Yugi watched her as if she was going to do something right then. Yami wasn't paying attention to him. Yami was staring at something, staring at Samantha; his eyes were strangely full of bliss. Yugi never saw Yami like this before. He tried to get Yami's attention.

"Yami…..hay Yami…" waves hand in front of Yami's face "Yami, earth to Yami!" blink-blink "Yaaaamiii" ………………….WHAM! Yugi slapped Yami on the back of his head,

"OWW! YUGI! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Yami looked at Yugi while rubbing his now sore head.

"May I ask why you were just ignoring me?" Yugi glared at Yami.

"Ah, I –I wasn't ignoring you, um, I was just…thinking" Yami thought for a sec Yugi glared with annoyance

"Yah sure for some reason you don't seem your self Yami." Yugi said

"I –I'm fine Yugi" Yami smiled. Yugi rolled his eyes and shook his head. They put there attention back on Samantha.

"Who do you think she is Yami? Yami? Grrrr not again" Yugi snarled. He gave Yami another big blow to the back of his head.

"HEY YUGI!"

"You're gawking at her! Her, Samantha, the enemy! What just got into you?"

"I wasn't gawking at her… I- I – was just… um" Yami tried to take a stand, but failed.

"Gawking! Yami this girl might be dangerous; she might take the puzzle from us. Maybe we should go inside, she could have heard us yelling" Yugi jumped down out of the tree and began to walk to the door, when he realized that Yami was still on the fence, looking at Samantha with like he had been. Yugi stormed back to the fence, grabed Yami's shirt and pulled him down with a lot of force. THUD Yami landed flat on her back

"YUGI!" Yami yelled. Then saw that Yugi was serious; his normally cute innocent eyes had a deadly glare. Yami laughed slightly as he stood up, hands on his back and bent over. That fall really hurt.
