Hello, it's me again and another chapter. Ok, I'll probably won't be updating in awhile now since I have work and I'm sorta having a bit of trouble. I mean Yori is gonna need a deck after all, so just in case she might use it (since I haven't decided yet) I need to prepare one, just in case. I had one, mine from my gba emulator but I forgot to copy it to my new hard drive and thus it was erased. So, I have to do put some cards together again. I have a good idea of what cards I want. Anyway, enough of that on to the story.

Chapter 4: First Day

The sun was shinning brightly and the birds were chirping. The sunlight that fell on her eyes as the curtains were being opened woke her.

"Good morning, Miss." The housekeeper greeted her when she noticed the girl was awake.

"Mor~ning" she yawned as she stretched her arms.

"Please take a shower, miss" the older woman said as she pulled the covered off the girl and was pulling her out of the bed. "I'll be your breakfast once you're done."

"Eh?" Yori said still half sleep.

"Miss, you must hurry if want to be on time for school." The nanny scolded.

School, that word woke her up. "That's right today I start school, again!" Yori exclaimed as she dashed to the bathroom.

Half hour later she was sitting in the balcony of her room eating breakfast. Her house was fairly close to the school since she could see it from where she was seating. It was hard to miss such a huge structure. She finished her meal, took her bag ready to leave the room. From the mirror that was on the wall in front of where her bag was, she saw a small chess in one of the bookshelf. She had the feeling she knew what was in there, actually, she knew what was in there. She turned and looked at it; ready to grab it but stopped. She wasn't ready to look inside it. She didn't want to know, not yet.

She walked into the study and noticed Mizuki was there as expected. She also noticed she was wearing the same clothes she had last night.

"G'morning, mom." She greeted. "I'm off to school."

Mizuki looked up from the screen. "Eh? It's morning already?" She asked surprised.

"Don't tell me you didn't sleep last night." Yori said worriedly.

Mizuki looked at the time in the grandfather clock on the other side of the room. "Oh no, the executive meeting is in an hour." She said to herself not having heard Yori. "I have to take a shower, change clothes…" she mumbled to herself. She shook her head as if to clear her head. "Have a good day, sweetie." With that Yori was dismissed.

Yori walked leisurely towards school. 'I'm kinda worry about them. They've been working so hard and non-stop, something could happen to them.' She thought about her new foster parents. Without noticing she made it to school.

The building was even bigger than she had thought. She had been admiring the structure when she suddenly noticed that something was not normal. She was expecting people chattering among themselves but she didn't think she'd be the main attraction. Everyone was looking at her and pointing at her, all those stares made her uncomfortable. It wasn't like they were whispering bad things about her but just talking about her made her uneasy.

"She's here! She's back."

"Wasn't she abroad dueling with the pros?"

"Yori, good morning!" Yori heard Aki's voice called her and was glad for the arrival of the girl. Though, she started doubting whether it was a good time she had come or not when the whispers and murmuring only got more agitated.

"The two tops students are talking."

"Will they engage in a duel?"

"I hope so! That'd be totally awesome."

People were looking at them. Yori felt extremely embarrassed. She had always been a shy person. Suddenly becoming the center of attention made her feel pathetic and puny because this guys thought she was a top duelist when in reality she wasn't that great. She could hold her own but she hadn't dueled in so long.

"Don't worry about them." Aki said reassuringly when she saw Yori looking down as if she were looking for a hole to just hide in there. "Just ignore them."

Yori nodded. "G'mor-morning, Aki." She said timidly after realizing she hadn't greeted her yet. She didn't dare to look at anywhere else besides the floor and her feet.

Aki smiled. She hadn't had much interaction with Yori but there was something that was odd. It was as if this was a completely different person from before the accident. The Yori everyone knew was a confident and almost arrogant girl, everyone knew not to mess with. Now the girl standing in front of her was so timid, she couldn't help it but feel the need to protect her.

"Let's go to the Principal so you can tell him about your situation." Aki suggested.

Yori finally looked up and smiled meekly. "Let's."

Aki took her hand and pulled inside the school as she run inside. Yori was surprise but the sudden action but smiled, she never thought that she'd end up becoming friends with Aki. Once inside Aki let go.

"We have to go down this hall and then make a turn to the right." Aki explained as she pointed the directions. It was then that Yori noticed that Aki was about a head taller than her. She knew she was short, but she thought she'd be at least the same size.

"This school sure is big," She couldn't help thinking out loud. "I hope I don't get lost."

"I don't think you'd get lost," Aki said giggling. "That'd be really hard since every floor belongs to a grade. Like the first floor to the first years, starting from middle school and go up till the six floor which is our floor for third years in high school. The offices are on the seventh floor as well as the cafeteria and extra classrooms. There's also a nurse office in the second and fifth floor."

"I think I'm gonna use lunch time and explore because I'm getting confused." Yori said.

Aki giggled. "Don't worry I'll get you a map, just in case."

"It's not that funny." Yori said as Aki was beginning to laugh harder. "I'm just saying that 'cause I have a bad sense of direction."

"Ok, ok, you're right I shouldn't laugh." Aki said as she stopped.

"So, what classes do we have today?"

"There's dueling analysis, dueling history, math, biology, and dance for today." Replied Aki as she opened the door to the elevator.

"Dance?" Yori asked skeptically.

"Yeah, that's an optional class that we chose at the beginning of the year. We could choose between dance, basketball and soccer." Aki explained.

'No wonder I chose dance.' Yori thought. 'Huh?' she blinked when she realized what she had thought. 'I'm getting too much into this role.' She sighed.

"What's wrong?" the red-haired girl asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Yori shook her head. 'I don't dance .I have bad coordination and besides all the dancing I've ever done was from anime. I should've stayed home today.'

They arrived at the principal office and explained him the situation.

"That's fine. You'll be excuse from dueling in the meantime while you learn to duel again. Are you sure you want to keep it a secret, though?" The principal asked.

"Yes, sir" Yori replied. "I don't want people to treat me different just because I don't have my memories. I'll try and do my best to learn to duel and become a top duelist once again but until then I'd rather not duel." She explained. "If possible" she quickly added since she felt she was saying in a too demanding way.

"I don't have any problems with that," the principal replied. "However, the students will think it's strange for you not to duel."

Yori looked at the floor lost at words. "I'll think of something." She said.

"Very well, I'll let the other faculty members know. You girls better hurry to class now," He said as the bell warning ball rang.

"The principal does have a point. If you don't duel at all it'd be too strange. So, what are you planning on doing?" Aki asked as they were both heading to class.

Yori smiled at her. "I'll think of something."

Aki gave her a look. "Aren't you being too…?" she wasn't sure of the word she should use: carefree, relaxed, laidback, easygoing.

"Blithe? Carefree?" Yori suggested which made Aki laughed.

"This is the first time I hear someone say something like that about themselves." She admitted.

Yori shrugged. "Well, in this case I think I am being carefree about it but that's only because I'm not sure of what to do so I'm just going to go with the flow for now and see how things turns out."

Before Aki could say anything else the second bell rang. Luckily they made it to the classroom in time. The time in class seemed to Yori to go by slowly. She really hated being started at, but decided to do like Aki had suggested and ignore it though it didn't help much.

'Ralph isn't here.' She noticed as she was writing down the notes from the board. 'I thought we were classmates.'

"So, next we have lunch and afterwards dance, right?" Yori asked as they were going to the cafeteria.

"That's right," Aki replied. "So, far how do you like school?"

"It's alright, though I'm still having trouble with the dueling monsters subjects," She said a bit depressed. "I could barely understand a thing."

"You'll get the hang of it," Aki reassured her.

"YOOOORI!" They heard a male voice yelled.

As the girls turned around they saw a brown-haired boy charging towards them. As he got closer they noticed it was Ralph. Unexpectedly he jumped into the air a few meters away from them, ready to kick Yori. It happened so fast that Aki didn't see what happened. She blinked and Ralph was in the floor.

Ralph groaned in pain as he rubbed his head. "So, maybe that wasn't a good idea." He murmured.

"Are you okay?" Asked Aki.

"He should be. I just pulled him down and he hit himself against the floor." Yori replied offhandedly. "Why did you try to kick me, though?"

"Well, I thought that just maybe even if your mind doesn't remember your body might." He replied.

'Body memories!' Yori was surprised by that statement but pretended to be confused. 'In the manga I read before they mention something like that. Even if the mind doesn't remember the body does. So this body remembers because if it had been just me I probably would've just dodged it but I not only did I dodge the attack I actually countered it too. Then maybe I won't be clumsy while I'm here!'

"Jeez, don't do dangerous stuff like that. What if she hadn't done anything? You could've hurt her!" Aki scolded.

"Didn't think about that" Ralph admitted.

Aki glared at him.

"Aw, let it go Aki. He didn't do it with an ill intention and I'm fine." Yori reassured her.

"Like she said," Ralph stood up. "I wasn't going to hurt her I just wanted to know if she still had her reflexes. It seems I was right though."

"My reflexes?" Yori asked rhetorically before shaking her head. "I don't want to know. I really don't. Anyway, don't do that again okay because next time I'll get mad."

Ralph grinned. "I won't; since I know you can defend yourself now."

"Let's go, Yori." Aki said as they walked away.

Yori followed Aki, leaving Ralph behind. 'What did Ralph meant by that?' Yori thought. 'Perhaps because I'm the daughter of someone important others might try to hurt me. Is that what he meant? If it's like that then, it'll be fun. It's been a while since I had a chance to for a little practice.' She smirked but quickly hid it.

Aki noticed Yori's smirk and how she quickly hid it. 'Is she planning something?'

"Yori!" Ralph called and both girls turned around. "Wait for me in the classroom after school and we'll walk together. There's something I wanna show you." He grinned

"Later." Yori replied as they continued their way.

Lunch was okay, though it was even noisier than in the morning and in the previous classes. Finally it was time for the dreaded class, dance.

"I'm bad at dancing," she mumbled.

Aki smiled feeling a little sorry for girl who was pouting.

All the students there were girls, not that it was surprising. They all took their positions and the music started playing. She couldn't believe it; she almost let out a laugh but just contented herself with a smile. She knew the lyrics, she knew the moves; it was one of her favorite songs after all: Hare hare yukai.

The teacher complemented her saying it was flawless and how could it not when she had danced that song and done the choreography countless times till she finally got it right.

"Are you sure you're bad at dancing?" Aki asked with a grin.

Yori chuckled. "Maybe not with choreography." She replied 'If this class is gonna have the anime choreography then I'm gonna be okay since I know quite a few.'

After school Yori was waiting in the classroom, she sat near the window. Everyone looked so small but she liked the view, she could even see the sea that separated Satellite from the City. She looked down again and saw Aki talking to Rua and Ruka before they all walked away.

'Wonder where they're going?' She thought curiously. Then it hit her and she let out a gasp. 'Maybe they're going to meet Yusei and the others.' She sat back down and sighed. 'I wish I could go too. I want to meet Yusei.' She lent back on the chair and closed her eyes.

Two hands covered her eyes taking her glasses off in the process.

"Guess who?" said a familiar playful voice.

Yori chuckled. "Oh, please. Are you still in kinder, Ralph?" She took his hands off.

"Are you sure you've lost your memories? 'cause you're still as cheeky as always." He replied.

"Just because I've lost my memories doesn't me that I'm someone else." She replied 'Though technically I am.'

"Well," Ralph said as he took her bag "Are you ready?"

Yori stood up. "Sure, what are you going to show me anyway?"

"Dueling." He replied nonchalantly as he opened the door for the elevator.

"More studying?" she groaned as they both entered the elevator.

Ralph laughed at her reaction. "C'mon little sister it'll be fun."

Yori gave him a looked, confused. "Little sister?"

"You are my little sister. That's why I'm going to teach you dueling once again," he explained. "Even though you're gonna be kicking my butt again." He joked.

Somehow, she wasn't so sure about that. She was going to need practice, a lot of practice. Well, when you have lemons you made lemonade and when you have a deck you have to duel, right?

This one was a little longer than the others. I hoped you liked it. Please let me know your thoughts. I'd like a few reviews before the next chapter, pretty please? Till next time!
