Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Yugioh GX

Sorry I haven't updated...I got writer's block in between somewhere, with so many stories to manage...but after I watched Yugioh, the writer's block was gone. So, here's the next chapter!

Jaden and Syrus were at the back of the crowd. "Whoa…" Murmured Jaden. "I've never seen it this bad before…" Syrus stared in disbelief at his friend. "Didn't you hear, Jay? They have a new pack coming in. It's even rumored to have the Dark Magician girl in it…" The blue haired boy spaced out, sighing wistfully.

Jaden sweatdropped. "Sy…" His crushes on duel monsters were quite unhealthy. Suddenly, the doors flew open and the huge crowd that was just there suddenly disappated.

Everyone had run up to the register, screaming out their orders at Dorothy. One of the doors at the back opened. "Alright, everyone, form a straight line and be patient! We'll get all of your orders, but for now…LINE!"

The person that had spoken was a girl; a really beautiful girl. With long, flowing black hair and warm brown eyes, she was now gesturing to the register in front of her. "Line, please." She repeated to the stunned boys, "Don't make this anymore difficult on Dorothy than it has to be."

Dorothy sighed in relief, "Wow, Kagome. It's like you've been doing this all your life." The girl smiled, "No problem." She turned back towards the waiting boys. "Well? I'm not seeing any line over here."

Hustling to obey her commands, the students filed into a long row. Syrus awed at the girl's ability. The two Slifers were pushed to the back of the line, as the others were Ra's and Obelisks.

'It stinks to be in Slifer…' Thought Syrus sadly. 'Everyone else thinks you're inferior…'

The two waited for several hours; Syrus refused to leave before getting the pack that he wanted. The boy, a Ra Yellow, was relaying his order, right before leaning on the counter and saying to the new worker, "Hey, you want to go out on a date with me, Saturday?"

The girl—Kagome—cocked her head in confusion. "A…date? Every boy in this line has been asking me that question…" Her face brightened, "Oh! A date as in that fruit that was found in Egypt, or something?"

The boy only stared at her in shock. "Ah…no…" Before he could say anything else, Kagome thrust the pack that he wanted into his hands.

"Next in line, please!" She called out cheerfully.

The Ra gaped at her for a second, then walked away reluctantly, leaving only Jaden and Syrus left. The brown haired boy grinned enthusiastically, "Hi! I'd like to get one of those new packs for my friend here…" He thumped Syrus' shoulder earnestly. "…Syrus!"

The blue haired boy interrupted, "Um…is it really true that you have no idea what a date is?" To their surprise, Kagome laughed. When her giggles subsided, she said, "Of course I know what it is. I'm not stupid." She checked the shelves near the register.

"But I'm not daft enough to fall for their lame pick up lines." Her voice wandered off as she resumed her searching.

Her face fell. "Oh. We're all out of that new pack here." Syrus groaned. "I knew it. We shouldn't have even come…" Suddenly, the brown eyed girl snapped her fingers, "Hold on a sec. I think we have another box in the back. Would you boys mind coming with me? I could use the assistance."

Jaden shook his head, grinning like a maniac. "Nope! We don't mind, do we Sy?" Syrus stared at the girl for a few minutes. She was being so nice to them. And she was pretty. Maybe even prettier than Dark Magician Girl…

"Great!" Kagome said happily, "This way, please!" She waved her hands towards the door that she had come out of. Twisting the doorknob, she entered the musty room, the two Slifer boys in tow.

Jaden looked around in awe. "Wow! Sweet! I had no idea that there were so many cards here!" Syrus turned to the raven haired girl. "How long have you been working here?"

Kagome glanced at her watch, "Around…two hours ago." He faltered. "Oh. Um…do you know where the cards are though?" She smiled at that. "Oh, yeah, I know where those are…"

She grabbed a ladder and looked around. "It was one of the boxes that fell on Dorothy when I came in, so it should be around…" Syrus sweat dropped. Fell on Dorothy?

She found the box. "Oh! Here it is!" Opening it, carefully, she took out one of the packs inside. "On the house. Consider it as an apology for not having it at the counter before hand."

Syrus stammered, "W-we can't do that! What about the money?" She waved her hand, "It's okay. Like I said, consider it as an apology. And besides, you guys are one of the only guys who didn't ask me out on a date. Consider that a thank you."

Jaden jumped into the air, "All right! Sweet, Syrus! C'mon, open it and let's see what you got!" Syrus readjusted his glasses nervously, "Well, okay. But I probably got one of the worst cards, just like always…"

Kagome gazed at the boy curiously. He wasn't much of an optimist. But he was very cute. He was a few inches shorter than she was. With glasses and that shortness, he was a kind of teddy bear cute.

Syrus tore the plastic open, picking up the cards that lay inside. Reviewing their names and effects, he gasped.

"Uh, what is it, Sy?" Jaden inquired curiously. Sneaking a peek at the duel cards, the ace of Slifer Red cried out, "Oh, wow Syrus! Those are some really good cards!"

Kagome smiled at the Slifer. "Congratulations." Syrus groaned. "Yeah, there are some pretty good cards here, but there's no Dark Magician Girl…" Jaden clapped him on the back, "I swear Sy, crushes on duel monsters…"

The raven haired girl looked at the Slifer in surprise, "You mean…you want to get Dark Magician Girl…because you have a crush on her?" Syrus cleared his throat in embarrasment, "Uh, yeah…"

Those words made Kagome's heart sink a little. "Oh…" Straightening up, she placed a smile on her face. "Well, then. I suppose you'll be visiting often to try to get the card?"

'That would probably be the only good thing about him liking Dark Magician Girl…' She thought silently, looking more cheerful than she actually felt. Syrus stopped at her question.

Honestly, if he couldn't get it the first try, he would normally just give up.

But…

He glanced at Kagome once again. Although this was the first time they had actually met, she was so nice to him…even though all of the other girls hadn't been. Reverting his gaze back towards the cards he held in his hand, the blue haired boy frowned.

Maybe…that was the reason that he liked the Dark Magician Girl. Because no matter what, she wouldn't ridicule him about anything…

After all…she wasn't real…no matter how much he wanted to believe it.

But, then again. Kagome was different. She was so nice to him and so caring and…

She was real.

Lifting his gaze towards the new cashier, he smiled. "Of course. We'll be back tomorrow!" Jaden grinned. "That's the spirit, Sy! Although…" The brown haired boy frowned. "Usually, when there's a new pack, and you don't get the card you want, you give up."

Syrus could feel his cheeks heating up. "Well…uh…" He snuck a peek at Kagome again and she smiled at him. Grinning shyly back at her, the small boy murmured towards the other Slifer Red,

"Well…I think this time…it might just be worth it."

Wow...this chapter was pretty cute. I was surprised...
