Alright. I've gotten a few reviews on this story and I've got to admit, it's nice to hear someone say their opinion on my story, even go into a rant about what I had to say. I mean, it's nice. Now, what I said about Slytherin house last chapter is because I haven't found one book where Kaiba (Yes, at Hogwarts) was in Griffindor. Only Slytherin because he's the antagonist or friends with the antagonist or Ravenclaw for obvious reasons. I understand he's got a lot of qualities that have a lot in common with Slytherin house but I think his courage (Going up against Gozaboro Kaiba) would justify him being in Gryffindor. Now please enjoy the story.

Mysterious Miracles and a Familiar Celebrity
By Sailor Phoenix1997
"Morning!" Anzu said in a happy sort of sing-song voice as she skidded into the classroom. Kaiba ignored her, not surprising anyone.
"Morning Anzu," Yugi said with a smile. Jounochi leaned back in his chair with a know-it-all smirk plastered on his face.
"You'll never guess what I got this morning." Anzu said excitedly. She held up an evelope addressed to her from Juliard. She opened the letter inside. "To Miss Mazaki Anzu, After recieving a letter of recomendation from one of our sponsors, we at Juliard would be honored if you would take the time this Sunday at two pm to meet one of our representatives for an interview. If all goes well, we'd be honored to accept you as part of our student body," she read.
"Woah. Juliard's that famous school for theater in New York, correct?" Yugi asked. Anzu nodded.
"I asked my dance instructor if she sent the letter or told anyone about me but she said she didn't know what was going on."
"Well, you're not the only one getting weird messages." Jounochi held up an envelope addressed to him from the bank. "According to this, someone decided to transfer enough money to my account to pay for my dad's drinking and gambling depts and pay my way through college."
"Who would take a gamble like that? I bet you'll be lucky to make it to next year," Kaiba said without even looking up from the book in his hands. Yugi looked down at his feet as he took his seat and twiddled his thumbs.
"Things like this have been happening all week. First, Jii-san doesn't think we'll be able to pay the electric and water bill and suddenly we recieve a donation enough to pay off the rest of the mortgage and any bills that come up for the next three years. Then Shizuka-chan calls saying that she and her mother will be moving into town and allowing Jounochi to live with them after having someone offer to buy their house for three times what it's worth. And now this. Are all of these miracles connected? WHoever's making them happen I just wish they'd send me..." Yugi stopped there before he got caught up in his memories of that one night five years ago.
To his luck Honda walked in.
"Morning my people!" he said.
"Morning Honda,"
"Any miracles happen to you?" Anzu asked. Honda shook his head.
"Only the fact that Shizuka-chan's coming to town. Oi Jounochi."
"Yea?"
"Think you might be able to set me and your sister up?" Jounochi jumped up from his chair and grabbed Honda's arm, pulling him until his head was under one of Jounochi's leg.
"I'll set you up in a hospital if you come near her!" Yugi chuckled and Anzu backed away.
"I need more female friends," she said to herself as she shook her head.
"Or you need to stop associating with a dog," Kaiba said, turning his page.
"Don't you know whan you're being ignored?" Jounochi asked.
"You're the only one barking." Anzu sat down in her seat and rubbed her temples.
She was granted a reprive when the teacher entered with a new student behind him. Some of the students gasped at the student and started whispering. Yugi bit down on his lip and clenched his fist. The student had knee-length white hair with blue undertones where there should've been black shadows, peircing blue eyes and pale skin. She was dressed in a black shirt, a pair of blue pants and a blue button-up jacket left open to reveal her shirt and a white crystal hanging from a black leather rope around her neck.
"Morning class. I'd like to introduce our new transfer student, Sennen Kisara." The girl nodded politely to the class. "Why don't you tell the class about yourself?"
"Alright. I was born in this very town and I ran away when I was eleven. But I wouldn't recommend doing that for any of you. And I don't do autographs or dating. I need to focus on my schoolwork and my own personal training. But I will be interested in making friends."
"Alright. Thank you. Now. Sennen-san's seat will be... Ah. There's a seat next to Motou Yugi and Mazaki Anzu. Kisara took her seat and cocked one arm over the top of her chair.
"Why's she wearing the boy's uniform?" some girls whispered.
"Dang it!" said another boy under his breath. "There goes my shot seeing her in a skirt playing basketball." Kisara paid them no heed. Behind her was Jounochi's seat, to her left was Anzu, to the right was Yugi and Honda was in front of her.
"Long time no see Yugi," she said with a wink. Yugi looked in the opposite direction. "Listen Yugi," she said, "I know I hurt you back then, but I had to get away. Maybe later you'll understand. But right now I-"
"Can you be quiet Sennen-san? Class is starting," Yugi said crossly. Kisara put her hands up in a gesture of surrender.
"Fine Yugi. But we're not done talking." Yugi only paid heed to the teacher. The only esception being when Jounochi handed him a slip of paper.
"You know her?"
"Barely. I don't want to talk about it."
The second free period bell rang, Yugi ran off with other kids to play basketball, surprising his friends who were left, among a few girls, to question the celebrity.
"Hey, you're the one most expected to win another gold medal in the coming up Olympics right?" asked one girl.
"Yep," Kisara answered, "My agent said I'd better use the off-season to train at my own pace and prepare myself."
"Why'd you run away as a kid?" asked another girl. Kisara's fist clenched.
"I prefer not talking about it. Let's just say my mother wouldn't try to talk to me. She didn't even try to understand the problems I was going through so I had to leave. I've regretted it. There was something I left behind there."
"A favorite toy?"
"Let's leave it at that." The girls disperesed, leaving Anzu, Honda and Jounochi around the girl. Her expression softened at them.
"So, why'd you decide to come back to Domino City if you ran away to get away from your mother?" Honda asked.
"Well, I decided that I'd return to my roots and rediscover who I was besides a tennis, swimming, ice skating and skiing champ."
"So how do you plan to do that without catching your mother's attention?" Jounochi asked.
"My family and I have taken that into consideration. But it's best for me to have as little distractions as possible."
"Who're you living with if your mother's side would turn you back over to her?" Anzu asked.
"Not everyone my mother's related to is on her side. I found three people who actually hate her as much as I do. So we've been living together since I found them in San Francisco."
"Wow. Who are they?" Anzu asked. Kisara smirked.
"Sorry. But that's a secret for me to know and you to know at another time."
"How did you meet Yugi?" Jounochi asked.
"Well, Yugi and I have known each other since Yugi was born. He was my closest friend growing up. He's one of the reasons I came back." Anzu's grip on the desk tightened.
"Why do you wear the boys' uniform instead of the girls'?" Honda asked as Kisara reached into her desk.
"I have a reputation to live up to. And those skirts are just too small for my taste. Also I don't like those tight jackets. I might as well be in the 17th century when all girls had to wear corsets. I bet there had been more deaths caused by those things than anything else. I mean the suffocation could kill or make a girl pass out into water and drown or she could pass out in a street and be run right over. Also it could break bones and cause disease." With that Kisara pulled a black book out of her desk and seemingly lost herself in it's pages. Anzu, Jounochi and Honda left the room to hunt down Yugi.
"Yugi's the reason you came back here?" Kaiba asked. He was only on seat back and two seats to the left of her.
"Yea. I felt bad about leaving him a few years ago so I convinced my fmaily to move here. Also, the weather's nice and just perfect for my training. I need to make sure I'm in top shape for the Olympics. But also I came here to learn about a game that has recently become the second obsession of my family."
"And that game is?" Kisara smiled and put down her book before sitting down in the seat in front of Kaiba.
"You should know. You're the world champion of it. From what I heard only Yugi's ever beaten you. That sure takes talent to never be beaten by anyone but one soul." Kaiba raised an eyebrow a her.
"Duel Monsters? You don't know how to play Duel Monsters?" Kisara shook her head.
"I've only got a few cards already and came up with a good combo." She pulled six cards from her pocket. "Maha Vailo and five equip magic cards." She set them down on the desk. Three Black Pendants and two Book of Secret Arts stared back at Kaiba from under the monster.
"Those total about 2100 more points."
"Yea. And Maha Vailo gives himself about 2500 more points in total with those cards. Making about 4600. Enough to not only destroy any monster but also eliminate the opponent in one sole move." Kaiba smirked. "I guess you can tell but I don't like losing." She covered her cheeks as they turned a deep shade of red.
"Well. There's something we can agree on. But there's something you're over-looking. A deck is supposed to be made of fourty to sixty cards and relying on a single combination can prove disastrous." Kisara nodded.
"It's just that I haven't exactly figured out what other combos to rely on. I also can't find other monsters that I can use that are powerful in either attack points but also ones with powerful special abilities." The two spent the entire period talking about different monsters that Kaiba knew of that could work in her deck and explaining a few different rules she didn't understand.
A/N: I got a review about my Kaiba rant and how the chapter was about Yugi. The thing is, this is about Kaiba meeting and learning how to be a better person with Kisara.
