Disclaimer: I don't own Yugi-Oh or Inuyasha!
BTW: Many have asked about Mizuki. She is an OC that a friend of mine has let me borrow for this fic. All about her will be revealed later in the fic. Some in the previous chapter.
AN: Fic is for DarkAngel048. My first Kag/Atem (a.k.a Yami Yugi) pairing. May I say, Wow! Thank you all for the reviews. Thank you all!
Last Time: After her departure, Kagome turned sad eyes on him and gave a sad sigh. She hated it when circumstances didn't go as well as she would hope. She was hoping that Mizuki would calm down and speak to her again. Atem assured her that she would, all that was needed was time.
School. A place that Kagome really did not care for but it was not the aspect of the school itself or learning that she abhored. No. It was math. The bane of her existance since she had been saving the time line from Naraku. But that was not all that was wrong with Kagome on the first day of her school life at Domino High.
The main thing was a girl. Not just any girl, either. But some floozy who decided that she needed to give Atem a "proper" welcome. Needless to say that girl didn't last in her liking of Atem after Kagome intervened. Atem had chuckled at the look on the girls' face when Kagome had come between them and kissed him. Then she turned around and told the girl to leave her husband alone.
Said girl had stuttered an apology and ran off, thoroughly embarrassed. Kagome glared at her departing back and then shot a glare at him as well. He did naught but grin at her and then follow her like a puppy on a string to each and every class, including math. In which she found Atem to be impressively knowledgable in the subject and was in front of the board, showing off the way she saw it, doing problems that even the teacher had complications doing the formulas. When he returned to his seat she even told him that he was a show-off, in which he ignored.
When lunch came around they were accosted by many people trying to invite them for lunch. They declined when Yugi and Tristan called them over. The group was on the far side of the lunch room and had made room for them. There was a couple people sitting there that Kagome didn't know and they didn't have any classes with them. Taem told her who they were. They were Miho Nosaka and Ryo Bakura. No sooner had he finished telling her whom they were two more people joined them at the table.
One was Tea and she sat down gracefully beside Bakura who held her hand. Kagome was delighted to see that Tea was no longer in distress over her and Atem. She honestly had been worried about Tea and had made herself practically sick over her. She was so glad to see Tea and hoped that they could repair the damage that had been dealt their tender relationship. She wanted to speak with her ater school, if it was at all possible.
"Everyone I have someone I would like you all to meet." Tristan announced hovering over the second arrival at the table.
Before he finished saying anything about them, Kagome had caught sight of them. It was Mizuki!
"Mizuki!" she cried.
"Kagome? Atem? What are you doing here? Never mind, school, duh." Mizuki asked.
"You know them?" Tristan asked.
"Yes, they are my neighbors. They live across from me." Mizuki explained to him.
"How do you know Tristan?" Atem asked her.
"He is my cousin." she said.
"There you have it everyone. My little cousin, Mizuki Katsuragi." Tristan said.
Mizuki smiled at everyone at the table as they greeted her. Kagome and she fell into conversation, leaving out everyone and everything. Talking about everything that had happened and Kagome was apologizing all over herself about how things had ended between them. They were so engrossed in their conversation, ignoring everyones' questions about their conversation and they almost missed the bell; Atem and Tristan had to get their attention to let them know that they were leaving.
When school had ended that day, Atem and Kagome had left alone but when they reached their apartment complex almost everyone was there, even Mai and a guy named Duke Devlin but Tea and Bakura were not. They were all waiting on them or was at Mizukis'. The hall was busy that afternoon as they all would cross back and forth between the two apartments. But before it got to twilight, Mizuki had to leave and go to her job.
The only information she could give out was that she was a tutor for a rich child. That his brother had hired her to help him in math, which he was struggling in because they traveled so much. Also she had never met the elder brother in person, only that they had spoke over the phone or by e-mail.
Tristan had begged her to give him some names but she wouldn't budge. She wasn't giving up any information, she was getting paid very well for tutoring and she planned to keep it that way. That she was quite happy to be living in her own apartment and if he wanted to stay with her he would stop pestering her about it. That shut him up and she had to leave.
Tristan groused a bit after her departure but stopped after he ordered some take-out. As they all ate he told them all that he was still very curious about where she had to go and who she worked for. He was worried about her and was going to get to the bottom of it whether she liked it or not. Kagome was curious but she wasn't going to help him get himself into trouble though.
Joey on the other hand had given him an idea. Follow her to her job. Tristan began immediately making plans to follow her around. Everyone said that they were not going to help him "stalk" his cousin just because he was nosy. He argued that he was not nosy just protective of his little cousin and didn't wat to see her get taken advantage of by some ruffian. She was too nice of a girl to get used. He wasn't going to interfere, just going to see who she worked for, do a little research on them, and caution her if need be. He swore that he wouldn't get caught and that it was fool proof.
Kagome and Atem had snorted. They knew a bit about her that her loyal cousin didn't. She would know he was coming from a mile away, they wanted no part of this scheme, especially now that Atem and Mizuki had a shared past and was gaining her trust. They didn't want to mess it up now just to help Tristan spy on her and Kagome told him no, they weren't doing it. He pled a little but they stood firm. He decided that he was going to do it himself and they wished him luck in his failing endeavor.
AN: This is more or less a filler chapter, nothing big but necessary for other chapters to build. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
