(Song: Collapsed by Aly and Aj)

Chapter 2:

Mimi finally arrived at school and stood outside the door panting. Then she felt a touch to her shoulder and turned around to look at Marik. She smiled and so did he.

"Hey" he said and then he reached into his pocket. "I got something for you…if only I can find it" he said laughing then he pulled out a white rubber band bracelet and put it on her wrist. She looked down at the bracelet and raised an eyebrow.

"You know what this means?" she asked smiling.

"Yep, I heard about the game two days ago and I thought you should have some fun" he said as she looked up at him.

"I still don't get what the colors mean" she said and giggled." But I know that if you put a white bracelet then you have to kiss the guy that takes it off" she said and he nodded.

"I got this one yesterday" he said holding up his wrist for her to see a blue bracelet. "I have to kiss a girl but I don't wanna!" he whined and she laughed.

"You're such a homo" she said laughing and he nodded.

"Damn strait" he said and she laughed more. "I mean damn right" he corrected himself.

"You're as strait as a circle" she said smiling. "But I wouldn't change you for anything" she said and he smiled and hugged her and she hugged him back.

"Mimi, can you take off this thing? I don't wanna kiss a girl ,but I guess I could kiss my best friend cause I know you so well" he said and she smiled and nodded.

"I guess so, I know I'm the only girl you trust" she said laughing and he joined in. She reached for his hand and he gave it to her and she slipped the bracelet off and handed it back to him. They didn't notice that the gang arrived and was walking toward them. Marik smiled at her and she smiled back and he closed his eyes and pressed a small chaste kiss on her lips and then opened his eyes grinning.

"I gotta go to the vending machine! I'm damn hungry, see ya in class and thanks!" he said and then ran off with a smiling face shouting something about how the evil is gone. She laughed and shook her head waving to him. She looked down at her bracelet and smiled and then she turned and walked to class.

"Did I just see what I thought I saw?" Tea asked confusedly.

"If what you saw was Marik kissing Mimi then yea" Yugi said confusedly.

"I thought that bastard was gay!" Joey shouted not knowing why he was angry.

"So did I…Wait, it could have been the bracelet his friend gave him" Yami said. "His friend gave him a blue bracelet and that means he has to kiss a girl" he said.

"Oh yeah! I heard about that game!" Tea said. "That must be why!" she said relieved. "I thought an apocalypse happened" she said laughing slightly.

"We better go to class or we'll be late, we can talk to her in second period since we all have the same class" Tristan said and they all nodded and left for their first class.

Mimi got to her first class just as the bell rang. She sat down in her seat and watched as the late people came in and got a lecture from the teacher. She looked out the window and sighed.

"Class today you have a free period, you may go to the library if you wish" the teacher said. Mimi got out of her seat and walked to the teachers desk.

"Sensei, may I please go to the music room?" she said and the teacher smiled at her.

"Of course" she said and filled out a pass and handed it to her. "Tell Miss Miguri I said hi" she said and Mimi nodded and grabbed her backpack and headed to the music room.

She got there and saw she walked in on Joey's class.

"I'm sorry Sensei, I just wanted to-" she said apologizing but the teacher cut her off smiling.

"Miss Yukina, you are always welcome here. You have the most lovely voice, it would be an honor if my class could watch you perform and take notes." she said almost pleading.

"But sensei" she blushed.

"Please? I know a good voice when I hear it" she said.

"Sure Sensei, I would be honored. Mrs,Takashi says hi by the way" she said blushing lightly.

"Thank you dear, now run off to the piano" she said.

"Sensei if I can, could I play the electric guitar?" Krad Hikari asked politely. Krad was one of Mimi's friends. He had blond hair and bright yellow eyes.

"Mr.Hikari, I'm not sure-"

"Sensei please? He helped me make this song and we already practiced" Mimi asked.

"Sure then! On you go" she said and Krad picked up an electric guitar and plugged it in. Mimi settled herself in front of the piano and took a breath.

"Collapsed?" Krad asked smirking and she nodded. She began playing the piano and krad joined into it. She closed her eyes and sang beautifully.

You were the one
That I couldn't find
Hidden away
In the ups of my mindshe pointed to her head.

Her voice was rich and calming and she was really into the song.

Why did I let you go
You're to good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do she shrugged.
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong
From right to wrong

She opened her eyes and looked at krad who was looking at her while he was playing.

If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap

She smiled at the last line and winked at him and he did the same.

I over thought
So I locked up my heart yeah she put a hand over her heart.
There you stood
You're blue eyes hidden underneath your hurt she pointed to her eyes.

'Blue eyes?' Joey thought confused and kinda jealous.

Why did I let you go
You're to good to be true she pointed at krad smirking.
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do she shrugged.
We ran in circles and wasted time she made circling movement with her hand.
From right to wrong
From right to wrong

She stopped playing the piano and stood up and walked to Krad and put her hand on his shoulder and closed her eyes to sing more into it while she bounced on her heels.

If I knew that you were mine the way she sang 'mine' was making Joey jealous.
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap

She opened her eyes and leaned against Krads arm smirking. She sang the next verse swinging her hips from side to side smiling.

My mind is blank just like a deep sleep
With a meeting with a guy with the same blue eyes
And the same name with a colored shoe she swung her hips like it wasn't part of her body.
I can't believe they have the same hat with my old mate
Then I will make another mistake
And think that he's just another…she pause and looked at Krad smiling sadly.

Fake

He smiled encouragingly at her and she made a true smile.

Wish I could erase the past
Wish I could bring you back

She wrapped an arm around krad's waist and leaned her forehead agaist his temple smiling as he smirked and played his guitar.

If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap

She closed her eyes and stepped away from krad singing the last verse meanfully with her brow furrowed.

If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap

She let the last notes hang at the end of the song and opened her eyes and everyone cheered. She blushed slightly and krad put away his guitar and walked in front of her with tears in his eyes. She smiled and he wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around him for a second and they both leaned back to look at each other in the eyes. Krad's tears were gone and he was smiling brightly. She leaned forward and gave his a kiss on the cheek. He laughed and took her hand in his and kissed her hand and put it up so it looked like she was punching the air.

"Well that was inspiring! Such emotion, passion, talent!" the teacher said passionately.

"Thanks sensei but I gotta go! Thanks krad, hope you liked the song!" she said and dashed through the door smiling brightly leaving a curious Joey behind.
