Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh

"Speech"

'Mental talking'

Chapter 2

Seto was thankful he had finally gotten a good seven hours of sleep, sure it might not seem much, but not sleeping in days, whatever little sleep he got, he welcomed. He arrived early to class, like he did every day, and opened a book. A few minutes later Amane came in. She wore the standard boy's uniform; somehow, beyond Seto, Ishizu's and Aries's comprehension, she made herself look male in that and almost any other male outfit she wore.

"Morning Seth" Amane whispered

"Morning" Seto replied looking up. "Tell me how do you do it?"

"That's my secret, now my project?"

"Right here." Seto handed her the paper.

"Thanks again."

"No problem, I got a night off. Besides, the project only took me twenty minutes. So it really didn't matter" Seto replied with a shrug. It was the end of their conversation since others started to enter the room. Seto went back to his book, while Amane looked through the project.

15 minutes later, Amane looked up to see Yugi and the other had arrived.

"Morning Ryou" Joey said

"Morning Mu…Joey." Amane said. She could feel Seto's smirk.

"Hey Ryou." Malik greeted.

"Hi Malik." Amane replied with a faint blush. She heard someone in her head 'Amane and Malik sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-….'

'Shut up Seth' Amane responded. She really regretted making the mind link between the five of them. But it did allow the to communicate with one another without other noticing. 'So I'm guessing your going to use this new knowledge as pillow talk?'

'Shut up Dancer' Seto replied, if anyone looked at him, they would have seen a faint blush cross his cheeks.

Amane started to laugh.

"Ryou, are you feeling alright?" Tea asked, "Why are you laughing."

"Umm. Nothing is wrong. I just remember what Bakura did to the microwave this morning." Amane quickly lied.

"I don't understand how you can care about him? He doesn't even care about you." Tea remarked

"He's like a brother to me. That's why." Amane replied coldly, eyes narrow.

"Hey Kaiba!" Yugi greeted trying to change the subject between his two friends.

"What do you want Yugi?" Seto asked acting annoyed; while internally he was laughing at the face Joey was making at his response.

"Doesn't it occur to you dat we are trying to be your friend?" Joey asked

"What makes you think, I would want a mutt like you as a friend?" Seto asked

"Why you…"Joey started

"Mr. Wheeler, you'll have to finish you conversation with Mr. Kaiba later. We have a class to start. Right now I have an announcement. Class, we have a new student" The teacher started; Amane glanced over at Seto, she noted he had paled. She was about to ask why when she heard the name of the new student.

"Arica Trime." The teacher announced.

"Ra No." Amane muttered as she watched as the sadistic blond came into the room.

"Arica, Why don't you introduce yourself."

"Well first of all, No one calls me 'Arica', Everyone calls me Aries…unless I tell you otherwise." She winked " and second of all…" She paused as her only visible eye widens. "Seto!" She squeaked as she ran over to him and hugged him.

Yugi was surprised that they had gotten another new student, especially this late in the year. Though he had to admit, she was pretty, in an odd way. She had shoulder long blond hair, which covered half of her face; she had pale skin and bright aqua eyes. She had a petite form. Yugi grew even more surprised when she tackled Seto.

"Aries, Need air." Seto pleaded. Aries immediately let go. " What are you doing here?" He whispered.

"It's my turn to test him," She replied quietly, but louder she said. "You haven't talked to me in weeks, No calls, no nothing. I thought I was your favorite. But when your life finally get interesting, do I get a call? No. Do I get e-mail? No! What do you want from me?" Aries ranted.

'Damn you' Seto replied telepathically. "Aries, why are you here?"

"I got bored" Aries shrugged. "An I wanted to see you." She said nuzzling his arm like a cat.

"Well, I hate to interrupt, but Ms. Teacher would like to continue her lesson." Amane stated with a frown on her face. 'Aries, you're with my brother.'

' I know, but look at the face of the mutt's face. I love tormenting people.'

"Thank you Mr. Bakura, Why don't you sit in front of Mr. Kaiba since you know him so well."

A large small grew on her face. "Okay!" she chirped as she sat down.

The day went uneventful, until Lunch.

"Seto!"

"No!"

"But I want to meet them"

"Aries, go if you want to meet them, then go."

"But I want you to come with me!" Aries whined as she started to pull him towards Yugi and his friends.

"I don't care" By now they were in front of the table.

"Fine then, if you don't sit down, I'll tell them everything Set, everything." Aries threatened, her eyes narrowed.

"I hate you, you know that right. You are pure evil." Seto growled.

"I know, but you can't do anything to stop me can you Set?" Aries replied evilly.

"Umm, Aries, Kaiba, why don't you sit down. We can all eat lunch together." Yugi states smiling nervously.

'He's the pharaoh?' Aries rose an eyebrow, 'He seems…shorter then I remember.' Seto nodded, smirk in place. 'Ra help us protect this short…pharaoh, for lack of a better word.'

"I don't have much of a say in the matter, although I rather not be here, this tormentor has dragged me here." Seto frowned

"Why thank you Set. That's the nicest thing you've said to me all day. By the way how was your da…" Aries started with a smirk.

"Here try this, it's delicious." Seto said as he stuffed a piece of sushi into her mouth. Amane sweatdropped. If she and her friends continued like this, they'd kill each other in order to protect the mission.

"Kaiba, Aries, how long have you known each other?" Tea asked

"About 5…" Aries started just to have another sushi roll stuffed down her throat causing her to choke.

"7 years" Seto replied.

"Kaiba, just let Aries speak with out ya stuffing something down her throat." Joey stated.

"She can't control what she says… but the way, how did you get out of that mental institution?" Seto asked, causing everyone to sweatdropped.

"Meanie, I can too control what I say…okay, that's a lie. Oh, and I just killed a few people, then acted dead, waited till they buried me to then crawl out." Aries smiled and everyone, excepted Seto, facefaulted. After all she said it as if it was an everyday occurrence. "Why do you have to be so smart, it's no fun to make fun of you."

"It's a gift" Seto replied.

"So how did you meet each other?" Duke asked

"Are you dating?"

"Where did you live before here?"

"Why haven't you mentioned her before Kaiba?"

"Why do you call me Set?"

"Wait! The answers are, at the orphanage, No way in hell, the U.S., Probably because he had no reason to and it's a nickname, me and all our close friends call him." Aries replied.

"Why I think dat the two of you'll make a great couple" Joey smirked. "Don't ya think Set?"

"First of all, don't call me that. Second of all, I don't date psychos. And Aries, your psychotic, deal with it" Seto hissed, his eyes narrowed.

"Well I agree with Kaiba, they don't look good together." Amane spoke for the first time.

"Why not?" Tea asked

"Well as much as I love this conversation into my love life" Seto spoke sarcastically, "I rather it not be public knowledge…Aries's love life on the other hand" He smirked

"Shut up" Aries growled.

"I'm leaving. Besides, the bell's going to ring." Seto said as he got up and left.

"Set, wait for me…fine you big Meanie." Aries sighed. "It was nice speaking with you. By the way, do you know where any clubs are, one that has a lot of dancing?"

"I do. Hey, since it's Friday, let's go clubbing. All of us. Malik, see if you can pull Ishizu away from her scrolls. Aries you bring Kaiba." Tea arranged quickly as the bell rang.

"Great, we'll meet you at the turtle game shop at 7:00" Aries said as she disappeared.

Later that night

" I can't believe you've got me here," Seto said as Aries and he entered the game shop. It was a few minutes before seven.

"Come on" Aries growled. She was wearing her usual Vampire outfit. She looked over at Seto, he wore loose black pants, and a long-sleeved shirt, with of course, a purple trench coat.

"You do have some guns with you right?" Aries asked. Seto nodded. "Good" Aries grew an insane grin on her face, while Seto just shook his head. Why did he have to put up with this madness.

"Hey Yugi, where are the others" Aries greeted.

"Hi guys, the others should be here soon. I'm glad to see you could make it Kaiba" Yugi said.

"I have no choice especially since this mad-woman followed me home." Seto replied.

"okay…umm." "Do you always wear a trench coat Kaiba?" Tea asked as she, Joey, Malik, Mai, Tristan and Ryou arrived.

"yes," Seto replied shortly.

"HI!" Aries chirped

"Hey Tomb robber where is Ryou?" Yami asked glaring, as he took over.

"He wasn't feeling well, he stayed home, yet insisted I come." Ryou replied

"Hi cutie, I'm Aries, What's your name?" Aries asked, as she hid a smirk on her face. 'Your good'

'I have to be' Ryou replied. " My name is none of your business mortal."

"Bakura, she's new, be nice…for once" Malik said, Bakura changed his glare over to him. 'You made my sister fall in love with you, if you hurt her, I'll kill you, you baka'

'sweetie, calm done' Aries replied mentally.

Malik didn't know what he did. But whatever it was, Bakura was mad at him for it. He had a feeling Seto and Ishizu knew, since he saw them share a glance. Although no one seemed to notice this.

"Your funny." Aries giggled. "I like you, marry me?" Everyone sweat dropped.

"Let's awful night over with." Seto stated "Where are we going?"

"A club a few block away. We can walk." Tea replied. Seto nodded as they all started to make their way.

Unknowingly to the other; Seto, Ishizu, Ryou and Aries positioned themselves at each corner of the group as they made there way to the club. As they reached it, Seto mummer "Seven". This comment left every, non-vampire, confused.

Ryou, Aries, and Ishizu clicked on their earpieces. They were preparing themselves since you never know what will happen.

"Come let's dance" Tea said as she yanked Yugi on to the dance floor.

"Wait…" Yugi yelped.

"Come on Cutie" Aries said as she dragged Ryou off.

"Let go of me you…" he protested.

"Come on Joey" Mai said as she dragged him.

"HEY!"

This left Tristan, Malik, Ishizu and Seto at the table. After the first dance Tristan left going somewhere. A young girl came up to the table.

"Hi, I'm Amane, I was wondering whether or not you wanted to dance." She asked. Malik blushed, the girl was beautiful. She had long black hair, and soft brown eyes.

"Who are you asking?" Ishizu smirked she knew where this was going.

"The blond." Amane replied with a faint blush. Malik just stared in shock at the girl…that was until Ishizu hit him.

"Oww…um sure, Let's dance." Malik said, his face slowly becoming bright crimson.

Once they were out of sight, Seto turned to Ishizu. "Would you like to dance?"

"I thought you never ask" Ishizu smiled and stood up. Seto gave her his hand and led her to the dance floor.

And so, for the first time, in the last 5000 years, they all had fun.

After a few dances, Yugi and Tea returned to the table, only to find Mai and Joey.

"Hey Joey. Where is everyone?" Yugi asked.

"Malik is dancing with this girl; Aries and Bakura are still dancing. Tristan wasn't feeling to good, so he went home. Kaiba and Ishizu just disappeared." Joey replied.

"I wonder…" Yugi started.

"Hey Yugi." Malik said as he sat down. "Let me introduce you to Amane. Amane, this is Yugi, Mai, Tea and Joey."

"Hello." Amane greeted. "It's a pleasure…" she stopped when her cell phone rang. "You got to be kidding me." Amane answered her cell phone after she excused herself.

"10, now" was all that was said, before the caller hung up.

"Damn." She muttered, "Malik, I have to go. Here's my cell phone number. Call me sometime. I'd like to see you again. But beware of my brother, he can be slightly over protective. But he's sweet, You'd like him" Amane said as she kissed him on the check. "I had a great time. Bye"

"B…Bye" Malik stuttered as he blushed. He turned to look at her, but she was gone.

Amane left straight away, all cheeriness had left her face as her strides became long and fast. She clicked on her earpiece and contacted the others.

"We have 10 wolves here."

Seto and Ishizu stopped dancing and headed back to the table.

"Motou, I'm leaving" Seto stated, as he turned and left.

"Yes, Yugi, I must apologize, I can't stay any longer, there is a problem at the museum I must attend to." Ishizu lied as she took off into the crowds.

"They never let you talk do they Yug?" Joey asked as he looked over at his short companion. Yugi just shook his head in agreement.

Aries and Ryou stopped dancing and quickly disappeared in the crowd. Aries quickly stopped by Yugi and the other to tell them she was leaving. She had just seen Ishizu leave.

"Hey, Yugi, I'm not feeling to well. So I'm heading home. Tell the others alright."

"Sure Ari…" Before he could finish she was gone. He just grumbled "Every single time!"

All five Vampires met up. They nodded at each other before jumping in all different direction as two bullets were shot their way. They all ran towards the nearest exit and spilt up. They ran outside. No one had to tell them that they wouldn't get any sleep tonight, especially with all the paper work they would have to file later on.
