A/N thank-you so much to all my reviewers! I really appreciate your opinions! If you have any ideas for future chapters I could really use them! All I no is that Shelby is going to be in a talent show and other stuff but I really need ideas so please if you have any tell me!

Well here's the next chappy!


Chapter # 4

The Invitation

(Back to Shelby's P.O.V)

Amazingly both Joey and I made it to class on time. When class ended I told Joey what my next class was.

"I have Academic history"

"Um I don't think any of us has dat class"

My face fell. Darn there won't be any friendly faces in this class…T.T

"But don't worry I'll walk you d'ere and I'm sure you'll do fine in class"

I smiled slightly "Okay". I really didn't want to go to class with anyone who wasn't in Joey's and Tea's gang. From what Joey told me about them, they all seemed great. Oh well. The independent me kicked in. I have no choice, but I'll survive. I don't need to be relying on friends to help me out all the time. Even if there friends I've never met. --o okay is it just me or did that sound really weird. I dunno if they'll even like me, or if we'll get along…

"Well here it is" Joey snapped me out of worried thoughts. "You won't have a problem looking for your locker will you?"

"Uh maybe"

"Then I'll come get you at de end of class. Kay?"

"Right…" I paused and then looked at the door "well wish me luck"

"Ya don't need it" he replied with a grin.

"Thanks Joey"

Class wasn't so bad. I found the work easy enough. It was the 'knowing no one in the class' part that I found scary. Suck it up you big baby!

I waited just outside the door for Joey. I saw him come around the corner, see me, then make his way over. He was not alone though.

The boy beside him was a lot shorter and had spiky black hair with red tips and gold bangs. He also had startling violet eyes that made me stare. He had a leather band around his neck and some sort of weird pyramid thing hanging from his neck. The pyramid had this funky eye on it and the whole thing made me think of those ancient Egyptian pyramids.

As they came up to me I was thinking my god two of the best looking guys I have ever seen are walking towards me and oh my god…I'm feeling dizzy. My legs buckled due to my dizziness and I fell backwards hitting my head against the wall. I crumpled on the floor holding my head "damn that hurt" I cursed.

'Hey Shelby you okay?" Joey asked, his voice full of concern.

"Yeah I'm okay' then mumbled under my breath "why must all Tea's friends be so damn good looking"

Joey chuckled and I froze.

He heard me? Shit!

I could feel my face turning bright red. As I looked up at them I could tell by the other boy's face that he had heard as well. Note to self 'when mumbling something you want no one to hear do so VERY quietly!'

"Well um… Shelby this is Yugi Moto my best friend, and Yugi this is Shelby"

"Hi" I mumbled still embarrassed that he heard.

"Hey" he paused then "me and Ya… I mean I saw your little fight with Kaiba this morning. I'm really impressed you took him on. I mean apart form me, Joey and a couple of other people, no one would even dare talk to him like that. Everyone's to afraid either because of his temper or their parents are working for him and they don't want to get them fired"

My face turned a little pink "Thanks but I guess I'm just not the kind of person who stands back and lets people talk and treat me like that and my dad doesn't work for him so…yeah plus I need someone to let my anger out on anyways" I said staring into space at the last part.

Both boys stared at me like I was a god or something. Clearly amazed seeing as Tea was the only girl in the school who would stand up to them..

"Well what number is your locker Shelbs? Oh d'you mind me callin you that?"

"Uh nope…it's 306"

"Okay to your locker!"

Joey led the way while me and Yugi took up the rear.

As promised Tea was waiting for me at my locker. She had greeted me warmly then said…

"So I see you've met Yugi. Did you know he's known as the King of Games?" Tea asked beaming proudly at Yugi.

Yugi shuffled his feet "aww come on Tea you know I couldn't have done it without the help and support of my friends".

Tea, Yugi, and Joey all grinned at each other in a special way. The way that me and my friends all used to look at each other back in Canada when one of us had done a great thing, or when we were prowd of each other. It was then that I started to feel small and insignificant. That's right. Im still not officially part of the group. Maybe I will be soon. I thought hopefully. Feeling a need to break the silence I spoke up.

"Actually I didn't. umm…" I was starting to feel embarrassed 'King of games for what?"

They all fell over anime stile and sweat dropped.

"You mean to tell me you've never heard of Duel Monsters?" Joey asked unbelievingly. "What do you do on your spare time in Canada anways?"

"Well…" Yugi said before I could speak "um I have a duel against this guy called Kira on Saturday…you can…that is…if you want you can come watch. Just so you can see what its like. Dueling that is."

I stared at him, surprised by the invitation. "Yeah sure…I guess"

"Great" he exclaimed "you can meet us at Domino Park. It will be easy to find cuz its just downtown. Joey and I will meet you there and we'll go to the dueling spot the Kira guy picked out from there.

"Okay" I said with a smile. Then my stomach rumbled. I blushed with embarrassment. "Shall we go eat lunch? I'm starved."

Normal p.o.v.

"You said it. Let's go!" Joey punched the air.

As they walked Yugi had a secret conversation with Yami

(A/N okay so as not to confuse you this is how Yami and Yugi talk to each other when one is in spirit form

Yugi –blah blah blah-

Yami –blah blah blah-

Okay? Okay then on with the chappy:D)

-Yugi why did you want to invite her to our duel?-

-Why did you not want her to come?-

-No its not that I was just wondering-

-Well there are several reasons. Firstly she wanted to know what duel monsters was so we can show her. Secondly I think we are the only friends she has in this school so we should show her a good time. Thirdly even thought you will deny it I saw the way you looked at her when she was fighting with Kaiba. You have special feelings for her don't you?-

-How can I? I barley know her-

-True but you do find her attractive don't you?-

-Well yes anybody would be nuts to think she's not but that's not why I was looking at her that way. Did you sense the power she seems to posses?-

-Yes that was another reason I invited her so that we could find out more about it. We better not question her about it though. She seems oblivious to it-

I agree. Her power may be dangerous. Maybe we should follow her. See if anything funny happens-

-You mean spy-

-Yeah kind of-

-I don't know-

-Well we don't have to if your not comfortable with it-

-No I'll come to. I'm kinda curious about it anyways-

-Right I'd better go now-

-Okay. See ya-

Yami shrunk back into Yugi's body, retreating to the millennium puzzle.


A/N (stretches) another Chappy finished. YEY! I hate typing these up. Especially when I've already written them down on paper. So far I've written down 9 Chappies. :D I just have to type them now T.T

I know yami and yugi seemed a bit OCish but I thought that yami might have changed the way he talks over the 3 or however many years he's been here. So I thought he would probably talk more normally! Anyways here is a summary for the next chappy!

Chapter #6

The Duel, and other me's

Shelby's feelings towards Yami are revealed and Yugi/Yami's duel time arrives. Plus Shelby loses control…
