"Here we are!" Amane grabbed Yusuke by the wrist and led him into Kaiba land. "You remember what I told you and how to play?"

"Yeah I think so." Yusuke looked at the deck of fiend and dragon cards in his hand. "So What do we do here?"

"We Duel! My brother and I got a duel disk when we came here and entered a tournament see?" Amane lifted her arm to present a diamond studded duel disk but not just any duel disk but one custom made by Seto Kaiba himself it was silver and light blue, projected images, had a built in laptop that could be jacked in to a printer w/ internet access just by flipping up the card platform to reveal a key pad and a screen. Her brother had a similar one the only difference being that instead of silver and light blue but silver and dark blue.

Yusuke looked at the girl who was said to be related to Kurama. "Are you sure you are related to Ku-Shuuichi?"

"Well duh! Why?"

"I don't think unless he would miss school voluntarily unless he was fatally ill."

"Really now?" Amane smirked and gave a small laugh. "My big brother for the time I spent with him was a perfectionist…"

"Hey Amane!" The two turned to see a black fuzz ball running towards them.

Finally the ball of fuzz came into view as Mokuba the younger brother of Seto Kaiba. "Hey Mokie!" the eight year old launched himself around the pale haired girls waist in a quick but meaningful hug.

"Seto went to school?" Amane nodded and motioned for Mokuba to keep going… "Amane… Your brother called he said don't worry he has a cram session after school… and Ryou also said that he got your assignments."

Amane sighed and loosened her braid "Oh Ryou… He'll never get off my back will he?"

"Guess not!" Mokuba smiled at the girl and then turned his attention to the black haired teen, his hazel eyes sparked with interest. "Hi I'm Mokuba who are you?"

"Oh this is my friend Yusuke…" Amane motion to the uniform clad Yusuke. "This is his first time dueling… got any one on his level?"

"Um yeah a new guy his name is Aquis or something like that… I don't know he said he was visiting a old friend who had come here recently and he was interested in duel monsters. How does that sound?"

"Perfect!" Amane beamed she was proud of her tried and true boyfriend's brother (Sounded odd but okay…). "Oh is Becky here today?"

"Yeah she said she had the day off from her classes." Mokuba paused for a second and tapped his head set. "Send it through…" Mokuba looked up at the grey eyed girl and pulled off his head set. "HE…wants to talk to you…"

Amane's face went from a light expression to fret. "Hi daddy…"

Amane hit the record button on the phone just before her father spoke. "Hello darling…" His voice dripped with sugary sweetness it was the calm before the storm… "Would you mind telling me why when I called the school to speak with you and your brother about joining me in Cairo I was told you were sick?"

"Cairo really is that that place in Egypt that professor Hawkins is?"

"I do not enjoy changing subjects so easily. But yes Arthur is here and is planning on sending for his grand daughter. He did not want her to go alone so I was going to ask you to go with her then you could fly back to domino with me…" The eldest Bakura seemed to get his angered edge in the conversation. "When I called the house no one answered so then I decided to call Ms Hao to check up on you…"

Amane's face paled as she scolded her self. 'Stupid! Stupid! stupid!' "Well daddy-"

"Don't you dare 'well daddy' me! I called your brother's cell phone because I figured he'd know where you were but he wouldn't fess up either… so finally I told him I knew that you were cutting and still he said you had gone to the nurses and she sent you home… I called the nurse she didn't have anyone with that name submitted into the office and that she wouldn't send her patient home with out checking with a guardian first. Then imagine my surprise when I tried your friend Yugi's grand father who told me you had been there earlier with a friend talking about Kaiba land…So I called the place and now what do I have?"

"A really big phone bill at your hotel room?"

"Yes and I'm pleased to tell you that you will be paying for it…"

"Not, not, not, not paying it using the credit card of coarse…"

"I will see you in two weeks since it will be your birthday…"

Amane's face changed again to a forlorn gaze that seemed distant her eyes beginning to fill with unshed tears "Six days daddy…"

"Yes six days…well see you then"

"Mokie can you make me a copy of that tape… and tell becca I will see her in a while." Amane handed the head set back to Mokuba who she was sure heard the last part of the conversation. She sent a week grin his way before she ran off in search of a bathroom.

Yusuke turned to follow her but stopped when Mokuba grabbed his arm. "Shouldn't we go after her?"

"Not now…" Mokuba glanced at his head set. "I think he forgot her birthday…. Again."

Currently Shuuichi Minnamino was a very pissed off person he had just gotten Hiei to eavesdrop on a teary conversation between Ryou and Amane during third period class exchange. It just so happened that the ever loved (note my sarcasm) Mr. Bakura had forgotten his daughter's birthday from what Hiei reported the fifth time in a row…

Kurama looked down to at the envelope and sighed. Well one thing went good today he had gotten Koenma to spring for an apartment for them during Mr. Bakura's stay.

(-school is over for them now So, so lucky-)

"Yo runt from what I hear your sister ain't here today…" Ryou walked by the bully not even bothering to look at him. This was the one who always talked with no result… he was probably a cowered who didn't want to stand up to the tougher twin or was just instigating. Ryou always ignored him like every one else who made snide remarks about him. But this particular boy struck a nerve that was long dormant. "The little whore is probably off giving blow jobs fo- "

Before any one knew what was what Ryou's adrenalin had kicked in giving the boy the boost of energy he needed to hold his victim inches above the ground with one hand that was wrapped around his throat. Normally soft brown eyes were now a angered black as he choked the boy nearly causing him to pass out before he whispered in a voice that seemed to deep to be his own… "If you EVER say that about my sister to me or any one else for that matter… if you do… I will hunt you down and kill you my self! Am I understood?" The boy who was currently suspended in the air whimpered but nodded head yes. Ryou, who seeming to have turned back to normal, released his hand making the other boy tumble to the floor landing in a quivering heap "Good! See you around then."

Everyone just stared… until one kid whispered to his friend; "Hey isn't that the kid who always gets beat up?"

"Yeah…"

"Why didn't he just do that in the first place? Would have saved him and his sister a lot of trouble…"

"Agreed."

well I could end there but I made a promise no stopping till I reach 8 pages

oh and if you haven't guessed I'm changing the scene to a after school at about….. 4:10 the Yu-Yu gang is moving out tomorrow after school.

"Yes… This is Ryou for Dr. Bakura… Yes I'll hold…" Ryou tapped on the table top as he sat down home work laid out before him. "He left? ….You are positive? Alright I guess I'll see him tomorrow…"

Kurama walked through the doorway with an envelope in his hands…. "Good new and bad news which do you want to hear?"

"Good first it's been a bad day…"

"Good news we found an apartment for rent unfortunately it's for seventy days until the owner comes back…" Ryou looked disappointed before he nodded so his brother could go ahead. "Bad news we found an apartment for rent unfortunately it's for seventy days until the owner comes back."

"Dad will probably only be here for three days…Then back to work again…" Ryou looked into his brothers eyes with a look of pure downheartedness "Will you be back after he leaves…"

"Well I think I'll be back… The others I think you'll be better off with out…." The elder stepped aside to show the commotion happening in the living room that was directly across from the kitchen. Yusuke was running around the coffee table while Hiei was threatening to make Keiko an early widow all while Kuwabara was being used as a rug and constantly being stepped on.

"(O.O;) I see what you mean…" Ryou glanced at the clock that now read 4:15 began to pack up his books moving then to his book bag. "I'm about done I just have a bit of a headache…"

Ryou rushed up the stairs to his sister's room and knocked on the door. "What do you want?" Ryou opened the door and stepped in.

"Amane… the time…" Ryou looked panicky as he stepped forward to sit by his sister on her bed.

"What about it…" she growled from her place n her bed. She was laying facing the wall her head covered by her pillow. As Ryou moved closer he noticed Amane was still in her school uniform.

"It's four sixteen…" He watched as Amane sat up and began to remove her clothing. "Just get them out of the house… Are you going out to eat… I'll pay for everything…" he looked on her back where a few rounded marks graced her neck shoulders, back, thighs and breast. "Amane… How did you get those... Why the hell do you have a hicky there?"

"I'll take them to the pier its about a half hour walk we get ice cream two for every one that will take like twenty minutes, go to domino park skip stones at the lake and walk home… so you figure we will be out for two hours… Should I call some one to help you clean up before we come home… We cant let them become suspicious of see you in a pool of your own blood. Again I'm surprised that they didn't ask any questions…"Amane slipped on a t-shirt and jacket and pulled off her pants recealing many scratches and bruises.

She moved to get her jeans but was stopped when her brother's hand caught hers. "Amane what are those?"

"What are you doing? Inspecting me while I change!" Amane pulled her Pants back up and slipped into a pair of sneakers. She walked out of the room leaving her suspicious brother in the lavender room.

Amane looked over the stair railing and called down to the four guys. "Hey guys you want to go to the bay? They have the best ice cream."

Hiei was at her side with an inhuman speed, "Sweet snow?"

"Yeah… if… you… want… to… call it that…"

"Come on you ass holes get a move on before I kill you all!" this very crewed but very effective method worked as the other three investigators were all standing around Amane with their jackets at hand.

Kuwabara in her every constant haze of stupidity asked a very smart question "Should I call Ryou?"

"Nah. " Amane was doing this to keep the trouble a secret she thought on her feet. "When I asked him earlier he said he was going to take a shower and go to bed he was a bit tired."

Yuske slipped on his sneakers and smiled. "Okay lets go!"

"Okay so can I have one mint chocolate chip, one banana a strawberry and a…" Amane turned to Hiei.

"Vanilla."

"VANILLA?" The grey eyed girl looked bewildered she looked to the cashier behind the register. "Make it two chocolate chip cookie dough." She handed her chaperones their cones and gave Hiei one of the chocolate chip cookie dough cones. "Try that there is no way you can tell me that doesn't taste like heaven on ice!"

Hiei took a small bite, then a slightly larger bite then he devoured the entire cone altogether. Every one stared as he looked up thoughtfully "Yes definitely heaven on ice…"

Amane looked at her watch it was six twelve. "BAKURA!" The grey eyes girl rolled her eyes and turned to see the pack of domino highs elite group of populars. "You didn't show up today, what was wrong, are you scared?"

"Actually yes I was scared that I had beat you too hard last night I didn't want to subject you to such cruelty again." Amane smirked at the looks the other girls gave her she licked her icecream cone again this would have been a perfect night if only her brother was here and these girls gave up.

"Bring it!"

Amane smirked and finished off her cone she licked the melted cream from her fingers and walked with her hands in her pockets. "Look I'll give you all a break today I wont use my hands" As if that was the cue the girls all ran forward. Amane delivered several kicks to the shins, chest and stomach, it nothing too extravagant. She watched as the girls fell one by one. "I know your not going to give up hmm? After all that trash talk it would be a shame, but then again you have no pride do you?" she walked back to her friends muttering something along the lines of "shameless whores."

Hiei who was watching the fight sat on the back of the bench and smirked letting one of his fangs poke out from his upper lip. "You know she's alright…"

(Kurama's current emotion- NERVOUS! )
