Chapter 17: Meet Lisa

Yami's smile had disappeared, and a look Rya had never seen before was placed on his face.

"What is it, Yami?" Rya asked worriedly.

"Lisa, my ex-girlfriend," he replied in a low growl. Rya noticed that he didn't even look at her when he replied.

"Ex-girlfriend?" Rya repeated curiously. Yami's glare simply became more deadly. Rya soon followed his gaze which seemed to be directed towards a girl about their age. Her hair was a sunny blonde, with dark-brown eyes. She wore jeans that practically came off her hips, and a shirt that barely concealed her chest. "She must cold dressed like that," Rya thought to herself. Before her thoughts could go any further, Yami took light hold of her arm.

"Let's get going," he told her and started steering her in the opposite direction. No more then after five steps, did they hear a voice call out to them.

"YAMI! Is that you?" They both turned to see that girl running up to them waving. "Oh my god! It's been so long!" she squealed as she latched onto Yami in a suffocating hug. Rya couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as she clutched to him. Yami simply stood there, and very lightly returned her hug. When she finally pulled away, she failed to notice Yami's unhappy expression. "How have you been?" she asked him.

"Fine. Yourself?" he replied bluntly.

"Oh I'm getting by. It's so weird to see you here!" she squealed again.

"Yes, I suppose it is. How is Jason?" Yami growled, but not so Lisa could notice.

"Oh, I broke up with him about two months ago. He had the nerve to cheat on me!" Lisa pouted.

"Like somebody I know," Yami mumbled to himself.

"What was that?" Lisa asked, oblivious to his statement.

"I said that's too bad, I'm sorry. Well we're going to go get something to eat. I'll see you around," Yami said impatiently and turned to Rya.

"'We'? Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't even notice you standing there. My bad," Lisa said with her tone getting lower as she looked Rya up and down. "So aren't you going to introduce me, Yami?" Lisa asked him.

"Lisa, this is Rya, a friend of mine. Rya, this is Lisa," Yami stated pointing them out.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Rya smiled, being polite.

"Yeah, great," Lisa replied, not paying any attention. She looked back to Yami, latching to his arm. "Well since you guys are going to get something to eat, I might just join you! I'm a little hungry myself!"

Lisa didn't see Yami roll his eyes. He looked over to Rya who just seemed a little confused. "Would that be all right with you, Rya?" Yami asked her.

"Of course, I mean if she's hungry then–" Rya was cut off by Lisa's irritating voice.

"Great! Let's go then!" Lisa laughed and started dragging Yami away from Rya. Rya just shrugged her shoulders and started to follow them to a booth surrounded by little tables. They all got pizza and soda and sat down. Lisa went on and on about how she was trying to lose weight, but figured she should enjoy herself for tonight. "And I plan to," she thought slyly to herself as she looked at Yami from across the table. However she noticed Yami feeding Rya some of the pizza, explaining to her what it was. Rya seemed clueless. "Are you from another planet or something, 'Rita'?" Lisa laughed.

"Her name is Rya, Lisa. And she's just never had pizza before, it's new to her," Yami explained calmly, but irritated. Lisa just murmured a 'whatever' and drank some more of her soda. At one point, Yami accidentally spilled his soda onto Rya. "Oh! Rya I'm so sorry! Wait here while I go get some napkins," he said and jumped up to go get them.

Once he was gone, Lisa decided to slide closer to Rya to have a little 'conversation'. "So, how long have you and Yami been seeing each other?" Lisa asked, pretending to be interested.

Rya thought about it for a moment. "About a month I suppose. We used to meet at the beach everyday and talk and–"

"Yeah, yeah, great, wonderful. Um, are you his girlfriend?" she asked.

Rya had to think about that too. "Well I am a girl and I am his friend," she thought to herself. "Yes, I am," Rya smiled.

Lisa's smile turned into a smirk. "I see. Well we'll see how much longer that lasts. Because by the end of the night, he'll be mine," she hissed. Lisa noticed Yami running back with handfuls of napkins.

"I'm back. Here, Rya," he said and handed her some. Yami noticed some had gotten on her face. "Here let me get that." Yami gently wiped her jaw line with the napkin to get rid of the soda.

"Thanks Yami," Rya blushed. Yami simply smiled in return as he wiped one last drop from her cheek with his thumb. Lisa noticed and knew she had to stop it.

"So! How about a roller coaster, Yami?" she asked loudly. Yami's smile disappeared as he looked over at her.

"We just went on the roller coaster," he replied growling.

"I wouldn't mind going on the roller coaster again, Yami. It was really fun," Rya smiled.

"All right then, let's go," Yami stated and helped Rya out of the chair. As soon as she could, Lisa latched onto Yami once again and started running them both ahead of Rya to the roller coaster line. While Rya was trying to catch up, a group of teenage boys ran smack into her and caused her to fall hard to the ground.

"Ow" she called out and felt her ankle.

"Rya!" Yami yelled out and ran back to her. He had to practically yank Lisa off of him to get to her. He knelt down in front of her with a worried look on his face. "Are you all right?" he asked.

"I–I don't know. Some people just ran into me and I fell. I think something might be wrong with my ankle." Yami looked down at it to see that it was lightly sprained and bleeding.

"Here," Yami said and ripped off a part of his sleeve and wrapped it around her ankle.

"Thank you, Yami," Rya blushed. Yami simply smiled at her and helped her up. Rya leaned completely against him to keep off her bad ankle. Yami set her down on the bench right across from the roller coaster ride.

"Oh look Yami! We're right across from the ride, and the lines short! Let's go while we have the chance!" Lisa begged pulling on his arm.

"Lisa, I'm not leaving Rya by herself while she's hurt," Yami explained as calmly as she could.

"Oh I'm sure she'll be fine. Besides you know I hate going by myself!" Lisa whined.

"Lisa–"

"It's okay Yami. I'll just wait here while you two go on the ride. She really wants to go, and I wouldn't want to ruin it for her," Rya said kindly.

"Great! Then let's go!" Lisa cheered and dragged Yami away from Rya to the back of the line before he could protest.

"She sure is strange," Rya thought to herself and leaned back against the bench.

"Hey Rya!" Rya turned to see Yugi, Tea, Joey, Mai and the others coming up to her. All the girls had large stuffed animals that the boys won for them.

"Hello. Are you guys enjoying yourselves?" Rya smiled.

"Yep. Hey, what happened to your ankle? And where's Yami?" Yugi asked looking around, knowing Yami would never leave Rya alone.

"Oh. He's going on the roller coaster with his 'ex-girlfriend' Lisa. I got run into by some boys and hurt my ankle, that's all," Rya replied. Her smile went away when she noticed the shocked looks on all their faces. "Yugi? Tea? Guys, what's wrong? My ankle doesn't hurt that bad. I mean–"

"LISA!" they all screamed.

"Uh, yes. We met her earlier and she's been with us the last half hour. Why?" Rya asked them.

"Well Rya, it's a long story. You see..." Yugi told her.

A/N: Howdy everybody. Is Lisa irritating or what? If I were Rya I would've shot her by now. Or send her to the Shadow Realm, lol. Anways, the next chapter will be what happened between Yami and Lisa. That should be up soon, so enjoy:)
