Chapter 2

(Yami)

Sitting at the counter drinking a cup of coffee I looked up from the newspaper I was reading to glance at the clock, it was 6:30, I should probably wake up the others but I really didn't, I was enjoying my peace. Taking one last sip of my hot beverage I set it down and made my way to the room I shared with Yugi and opened the door to find Yugi's bed empty. Turning around I found the bathroom door open so no one was in there and I knew that he wasn't in the main room, so where was he? Entering the room I flipped on the light and heard a light groan from the space between the two beds before a hand popped up out of nowhere and began searching the bed for something. Edging my way around the first bed I found Yugi in a pile of blankets on the floor his alarm clock resting unplugged next to him.

"Yugi, it is time to get up," I reached out and gently shook him by the shoulder hoping he would get up easily.

"Mmm," he replied burrowing deeper into his cocoon his eyebrows knitting together in a scowl. Behind me I heard the bathroom door close and the shower turn on, well at least I wasn't the only one up.

"Yugi you need to up right now or you will miss your first day of school," I made myself sound more stern as I tugged his blankets off of him.

"Why did you say so!" Yugi sat bolt upright looking absolutely psyched, "I'll get to see Joey and Tristan and Tea and Ryou!" It was rather amazing how quick he went from zombie who did ever want to get up to a happy and peppy sixteen year old, with that he got up and headed over to where he had laid out his uniform last night. Humming he began to get ready so I exited the room closing the door behind me as I went over to the girl's room to see which one was still asleep. Opening the door quietly I discovered Aggie sitting on her bed plugged into her stereo playing air guitar and lip-synching in her school uniform her backpack on the floor next to her. Shutting the door I decided to re-enter and ask her if she wanted a ride to school; using my knuckles I rapped on the door and swung it open.

"Aggie?" She looked up and quickly ceased what she was doing and whipped off her headphones. "Would you like a ride to school or would you rather walk with Yugi and his friends?"

"A-a ride would b-be nice," she gave me a nervous and tight smile. "W-when are you leaving?"

"At seven, we'll get there early so we can start integrating ourselves into the school system, do you have your paperwork?" I didn't understand why she got so tense around others; it wasn't very good for your social life. Like I should be talking, I have absolutely no social life seeing as how I'm a recluse, but at least I can talk to people without stuttering.

"Mm-hmm," Aggie kept her gaze firmly centered on her hands and not one me.

"Why don't you come and have something to eat?" I suggested knowing that it was going to be a long day and she would need the energy. She merely nodded and stood up grabbing her backpack signaling she would follow me down to the kitchen so I returned to the kitchen and my stool.

"Help! I can't reach the pop-tarts!" Yugi cried and I looked to see him standing on tiptoe unable to get to the box of s'more pop-tarts, "This is sooooo unfair!"

"There is a stool two feet to your left," I pointed out not mentioning the fact that I didn't believe he actually needed that much sugar in his system this early in the morning.

"Oh, thanks!" There was noise as he moved the stool and got his breakfast, "Did you sleep well?" He plopped down next to me and ripped open the box pulling out one packet before pushing it toward Aggie in offering.

"F-fine," Aggie took the box, closed it up and put it away opting for a yogurt as she began to put things together for what I guessed to be her lunch.

"Same here," I said in between sips of my drink opting not to tell Yugi he snored really, really loudly and I had eventually retreated to the couch.

"Great! I slept like a log!" He wolfed down his pop-tarts chocolate and marshmallow getting all his face and fingers in the process. The next fifteen minutes passed in silence and I actually thought we might get out of the apartment with no problems but guess I hadn't anticipated how Cassandra would be. Yugi once done eating and making his lunch went to the bathroom door, which was still closed and knocked on it.

"Cassandra, I have to use the bathroom," he told her stepping back as if he expected her to open the door and just come out.

"Well then go and find your own bathroom!" Was the response and Yugi looked absolutely shocked as he just stood there staring at the door slack-jawed. "I'm not coming out!"

"What? But I gotta go really bad!" Yugi started bouncing back and forth on the balls of his feet, "You've been in there forever!"

"You don't know the meaning of that word kid, take the time you've been waiting and then times it by how long you've been alive and that's not even an eighth of the time I'm going to spend in here." Cassandra snapped at him through the door and Yugi's eyes bugged out of his head.

"Yaaamiiii!" He whined loudly, "Help!" Rolling my eyes I got off my perch and approached the door.

"Cassandra why won't you come out?" I questioned deciding to first find the source of the problem so we might eradicate it.

"IT'S PINK!" Was what she bellowed at me, "Pink is the most horrific color on the face of this God forsaken earth and it clashes with red!" Yugi and I stood there totally dumbfound, what was pink? Why did it matter that red clashed with pink? Looking to Aggie for a little enlightenment I registered what she was wearing, her school uniform and the top was pink Cassandra was going to the same school so her top would be pink also and she had red eyes.

"It can't be that bad," I tried to pacify her but from her snort of derision that she didn't believe me. "No one will notice…" I trailed off as the door was ripped open and I came face to face with Cassandra, she was right, it didn't look that good, but it was too late Yugi had already rushed past her and slammed the door shut.

"You little puke!" She snarled at Yugi before kicking the door and heading for the kitchen to eat breakfast. It took a little convincing but finally we were all outside waiting for Yugi's friends to pick him up on their way to school.

"There they are!" Yugi yelled suddenly as he began waving to a small group of people making their way toward us, there was one girl and four boys all wearing Domino High School Uniforms. The girl had short chin length brown hair and brown eyes, she was talking lively and smiling brightly, the first guy had messy blond hair and honey brown eyes, his uniform was messy and he was laughing loudly. The next guy had brown hair that came to a point right in the front, his eyes were brown also and he was laughing hard, the third one had black hair and his bangs fell into his tealish green eyes. The last one had rather long white hair, chocolate brown eyes and his uniform was immaculate, he was quietly smiling.

"Hey Yugi!" The girl ran up to him and gave him a hug, "It's been awhile, who are these people? Are you trying to replace us?"

"These are my siblings, Cassandra, Aggie and Yami," Yugi introduced us beaming at his friends. "This is Téa," the girl offered me her hand to shake. "Joey," the blond nodded. "Tristan," the brown haired guy waved. "Duke," the one with black hair gave a slight bow at the waist. "And last but not least, Ryou," the one with white hair smiled.

"Nice to meet you," I inclined my head to them as Cassandra gave them all a look that clearly stated they were all waaay too happy in the morning while Aggie looked about to faint. "The three of are sorry to have to decline your kind invitation to walk to school with you but we need to get there early so as to be enrolled."

"Well, see you there!" Yugi bounced off with his friends, they all waved as they left and Aggie sagged in relief rubbing her forehead with one hand.

"Well, my car is over here," I led them over to my small efficient two-door black car that would hold four people comfortably.

"I call front," Cassandra said as I unlocked it. "Just in case there is need to exit the car quickly I will be able to." Eyeing my car with obvious mistrust most likely noticing the dent on the side where some jerk had sideswiped me.

"Fine with me," Aggie climbed into the back and Cassandra and I got in and then we were on our way. It was rather hard to drive with Cassandra sitting next to me because she kept switching the radio station whenever commercials came on muttering whenever she couldn't find something good or I changed it. When we passed Yugi she blew a raspberry at him before returning to her quest of finding a good song, Aggie just sat in the back passively watching us. After what seemed a millennium we reached the school, exited the car and went to the main office where a woman ignored us for a total of ten minutes before asking us what we wanted. Once she knew why we were there she took our paperwork enrolled us and then let us go see the principal who went through along speech of how he hoped we would enjoy ourselves here even though it was only for a year.

"Now hold on a minute and I will get some students from your grades to come down and show you around." He picked up his phone and made a few calls before dismissing us to go receive our schedules from the lady at the front desk.

"I'm here to show Cassandra Wolfe around," a girl with autumn orange hair told the lady who in turn pointed to our little group and Cassandra stepped forward. "Hi, my name is Asa and you must be the fresh meat! Come on, what's your first class?" The two of them departed and Aggie and I continued to wait.

"You must be Yami," I looked up to see a guy with neatly manicured brown hair and piercing blue eyes. "I am Kaiba, I will be showing you around school today." He turned on his heel and exited the room.

"See you after school, I'll drive you home," I told Aggie before heading after the young man who was giving me the grand tour. He showed me every single inch of the school that I needed to know and not a millimeter more, by the end of our short time together I had come to the conclusion he was an arrogant jerk. Kaiba never asked if I had questions just pointed things out and the only time he showed emotion it was disdain or sarcasm, in the end he dropped me off at my class and left. Seething just a little bit I entered the class and instantly became the center of attention as every pair of eyes focused on me.

"Hello, you must be one of the new students, why don't you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about you." The teacher smile at me trying to be nice but all she did was creep me out.

"My name is Yami, I have two sisters and one brother, and I like to play all sorts of card games." I finished my short piece and sat down in an empty seat in the back of the classroom wanting to the day to just be over already because I knew every class was going to be like this.
