Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than a bunny that is constantly running into walls…

People I have returned! And I'm working again on my stories. I have a slight problem with this one though; since I have no clue who I should pair Rei up with, or if I'll add the other scouts. So drop a review and give me some suggestions. Please, or else I'll have to listen to my bunny, who wants to be paired with Rei himself. So, for Rei's sake review!

Chapter Two: First Time

Rei walked next to Tristan as the group made their way down the sidewalk of downtown. Her eyes sparkled brightly as the reflecting rays of the sun off of the many shop windows caught in them. She smiled at the passing shoppers who waved at her recognizing her as the governor's daughter. As they walked she also noticed that many people waved and smiled at Yugi too. Wanting to find out why she softly tugged on Tristan's sleeve to get his attention. Once he looked down at her she knew that she had his attention.

"People seem to look up to Yugi a lot." She said.

Tristan nodded. "Yeah, they do. He won the duel competition that Maximillion (sp?) held a while back." For a moment he seemed to be in thought, after a moment he looked at her. "How come you don't know that already? Darn near all of Japan was watching…"

Rei sweat dropped as she nervously rubbed the back of her head. "Ha ha, well I sorta was stuck in another world before I moved to live with my father." She muttered hoping that he would just let the subject drop. She really couldn't tell him that she hadn't had the time to pay attention much to the outside world while she was fighting youmas and saving Usagi.

Tristan raised an eyebrow at her and she could tell that he didn't believe her at all, though thankfully he just let the topic drop. Smiling at him she suddenly realized that he reminded her a lot of Makoto and Rei almost instantly felt her mood change as her mind shifted to her friends who weren't really her friends anymore. She was so caught up in her thought she didn't realize that the group had stopped in front of a small house.

"Hey, Rei! We're here." Tea stated as she waved her hand in front of the dazed face of Rei.

Rei jumped a bit as she came out of her thoughts. "Oh." Looking at the shop in front of her she couldn't help but think that the shop looked more like a house then a store. Her eyes took in the large front windows that held display cases that were sporting what looked to be thousands of cards. Walking up to the window closets to her she pressed her face up to the glass and stared at one card that seemed to be calling for her attention. Her purple eyes shone with red sparks as she stared at the flaming monster in the card. The creature was completely engulfed in bright orange-red flames and its body reminded her of the half horse- half human beings. (Ugh, I've forgotten what they're called, but they were in Harry Potter either the first or the second movie. When Harry went into the forest and found Voldemort eating the unicorn and the guy/horse came charging and… I'm shutting up now.)

Her eyes started to glaze over like they did when she was experiencing a trance, when Joey suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her into the store.

"Come on, if you like the card that much you can buy it. No need to stare at it like a crazy woman." Joey told her obvious to the fact that Rei was preparing to give him another kick in the head.

"Dog, I would let her go, if I were you."

Joey let go of Rei so that he could fully face the person that had dared to call him a dog. Rei on the other hand had become somewhat unbalanced and would have fell if Tristan hadn't helped her stay steady. Once she recovered she turned towards the shop's door to see just whom everyone else was glaring at. Needless to say she was somewhat surprised to see Kiba, who just so happened to be someone her father had recently made a business deal with.

"What do you want Kiba?' Joey growled.

Kiba completely ignored Joey and instead leaned against the doorframe and fixed her cool blue eyes on Rei. For a moment he just looked at her before he finally decided that he had stalled enough.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Ms. Hino." He greeted though quite frankly he couldn't have sounded any less friendly.

"Hello." Her greeting was one word though it sounded a lot nicer than his did.

"I've recently spoken with your father and he tells me that you have some," he paused apparently trying to find the words that he should use to proceed. "That you have some, issues with the selling of your late grandfather's property. By the way I'm sorry for your lost." Everyone except for Rei was surprised when Kiba actually sounded as if he was truly sorry about her grandfather's death. Also they were surprised that he even knew about it since they didn't.

Rei was quiet as she thought about what she had said to her father earlier. "How dare you?" She asked. Her voice was calm yet her eyes were flashing with red flames. Her father gave her a lazy expression as he looked up at her. "What?"

Looking she realized that Seto was the one who had bought her grandfather's temple. She was about to hug him but realized that her had a reputation to hold up so instead she silently mouthed her thanks and that she would talk to him later. She watched as she gave her a slight nod back.

Turning Kiba fixed the rest of them with a disgusted look. "Well, I have to leave now, don't what to be around you loser any longer than I have to. I'd be careful Rei, the dog has fleas." With that he turned and strolled out of the store ignoring the fact that Joey was angrily glaring with all of his might at his back.

Once Kiba was gone the group turned to look at Rei. Glancing at them she shrugged her shoulders.

"What?" She asked.

"How do you know Kiba?" Yugi asked.

"Well, before I lived with my grandfather I had stayed at an orphanage for awhile and I met Kiba and Mokuba there." Rei answered.

"Why were you in an orphanage, anyway when you have your father?" Tea wondered.

"Ah! Will you look at that? It's really late and if I don't hurry I'll be late. I'll see you guys later and don't forget table number seven!" Rei yelled as she ran out of the shop.

Four faces looked after her completely confused. Just then the shopkeeper decided to make his present known and answered the question that each of them was silently wondering.

"Tonight the governor and Mr. Kiba are going to make an announcement in the Town Square. After the announcement there's going to be some sort of party or performance. You can only go by invitation and I believe the governor's daughter just told you where you will sit." The old man said.

Tea's eyes widened. "Oh, yeah! I completely forgot all about it! Come on Yugi we have to go shopping for the perfect clothes!" She yelled as she grabbed Yugi hand and dragged him out of the store.

Tristan and Joey looked at each other for a moment before they walked out of the store shaking their heads, or at least they were about to when Tristan turned back to the shopkeeper.

"Hey, Tristan! Man, what are ya doing?" Joey asked.

"Go on ahead Joey, I'm just going buy some cards." Turning Tristan made sure that Joey had left before he turned and pointed to the card that Rei had been staring at. "I'll buy this deck."

Okay, second chapter is now done! Don't forget to review, if you do I'll love you forever and ever, I promise!
