Alas, Kapera's epic quest filled with awesome shit came to and end during homeroom. She was introduced to the class by the teacher, who pointed her in the direction of a desk behind a boy with overly-gelled hair. A familiar boy with overly-gelled hair. As she sat down, she wondered if it was her SAVIOUR.

Kapera spent the next hour wondering if she should poke the boy and ask him. Ignoring the lesson, she traced the heart carved into the desk with her finger, thinking the same thing over and over. She finally decided she would ask right after the lesson ended, but was surprised when the bell screamed. The students all quickly gathered their things and milled out of the classroom.

Kapera quickly came to her senses and then looked around for the boy. He was walking out the door with a girl whose hair made her head look like a cardboard box. Annoyed, she grabbed her books and walked out of the classroom.

Kapera's displeasure rose when she walked into her next class and realized her SAVIOUR was not there. Walking into the main hall during break, she scanned the wide room for him, finally recognizing the back of his head from her earlier staring contest with it. She played with the hem of her skirt, debating whether or not to go say 'hi'.

While she pondered the possibilities, two more boys joined up with her SAVIOUR and the girl, a blond and a brunette, the brunette slightly reminding her of a Narwhal. Kapera closed her eyes and shook her head, finally deciding to go up and speak to them.

"So anyway, then I-" the blond haired boy was telling the other three when he was cut off.

"Excuse me." Kapera cut in lightly. The group turned to look at her. Kapera stood, unsure of what to say next. She looked over at the only (vaguely) familiar face, desperately. Recognition suddenly snapped into his eyes.

"You're…!" He said, to the surprise of his friends. Relief flooded through Kapera. "Yes!" She replied. "Uh…My name's Kapera."

"I'm Yuugi" He smiled at her.

"Katsuya Jonouchi." The blonde boy told her.

"Honda." The Narwhal kid said. Yuugi gestured over to the girl, who had seemed a bit annoyed when Yuugi had recognized Kapera. "This is Anzu." Anzu snapped back into reality at the mention of her name and smiled at the newcomer. "Nice to meet you." The teens stared at each other, frozen in smiling positions.

"Hey. Mind if I sit here?" A girl with strawberry-blond hair walked up to them.

"Okay!" Kapera said in an overly cheery voice.

"Thanks. I'm Morrgan." Morrgan took a seat between Anzu and Kapera, then glanced across the table, over at Yuugi. "Hey…Do you have a brother, by any chance?"

"Huh?" Yuugi looked up at the girl. "Uh…No…"

Morrgan frowned, her azure eyes narrowing in thought. "Really? Because I could have sworn…" she shook her head, and smiled. "Sorry, it's just… you look like someone I saw… recently…" Morrgan reached up, and absentmindedly fingered the bruise that ran along her left jaw line.

"R-really?" Yuugi shifted slightly in his seat.

"Yeah," Morrgan said, nodding her head.

"Morrgan, what grade are you in?" Anzu quickly shifted the conversation away from the mysterious stranger, who happened to like Yuugi. Except wasn't.

"Year 12," Morrgan replied. "I would be in year 11, but I started school a year early. My parents decided it would be best for me, so that they could go pursue their…hobbies; while I was at school." The strawberry blonde gave a small laugh, though it sounded slightly bitter.

"Really?" Kapera flipped her cinnamon coloured hair over her shoulder. She was about to say something more when the bell signaling break was over rang. They split up again, each heading off into their own classes. Kapera wished her epic quest hadn't come to such an abrupt end, but she sat into her desk feeling more than slightly overjoyed for some reason she couldn't place.

"Kapera!" A voice called out. Kapera turned at when she heard her name. Yuugi ran out from the front door. "Hey, Kapera." He stopped in front of her. "We were going to meet at my house later. Anzu, Honda, Jonouchi and me. We wondered if you wanted to come."

"Oh! Sure!" Kapera replied. Yuugi nodded back. "You know the Kame Game Shop? About 15 minutes north of here? I live above there. Come over later. Oh, and if you see Morrgan, tell her see can come too."

"Okay" Kapera ran the tip of her sneaker along the sidewalk. "Bye!"

"See you later!" He called over his shoulder as he ran home. Kapera headed over in the other direction, skipping like a four-year-old, feeling strangely buoyant.
