Hi guys!
back with ch 2!

Disclaimer: do not on Yu-Gi-Oh!

The next morning, Lena woke up, feeling strangely excited for today. She got up and took a shower, then went to her closet. She picked out some black skinny jeans, her favorite black boots with green bottoms, laces, and buckles, a simple, yet form fitting black camisole that gave her a heart shape top with neon green lace on the top and the bottom. She also got her favorite coat.
(again black with green detail. As far as what it looks like, pretty much like Yusei Fudo's from Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds).
She fixed her medium sized blonde hair, and put on a little make-up, making sure to bring out the green of her eyes and the length of her eyelashes. (Sorry, a lot of my characters will look alike in my fanfictions. I relate better to them that way; especially if there are just small changes keeping them from looking like me.)
She got her bag ready and went downstairs, making sure to grab whatever jewelry she wanted to wear that day and he duel deck and disk. She made herself a bowl of cereal and finished getting ready.
She put on her bracelet that forms into her duel disk, the millennium necklace, and her necklace from Seto.
She finished up whatever she needed to do, then got on her black and green duel runner from yesterday's "ride."
She headed to school, the excitement still in the pit of her stomach as she schooled her face to seem like she couldn't care less.

When she showed up at the school, she caught everyone's attention. Four kids, three boys and one girl, were about to enter the school when they hear the sound of her motorcycle.
They turned around in awe as the tallest with brown hair, Tristan, and they only other tall guy in the group, Joey, started talking about how cool the bike was.
Tea, the girl in the group, glanced at Yugi, the only other boy in the group, to see if he was okay because of how silent he was while looking both at the bike, and the driver.

Seto also was drawn in the gaze of the crowd.
He couldn't help but look at this new person.
Strange, he thought to himself, that couldn't be..
It flashed into his mind; what happened yesterday.
That's the same driver we almost ran into.
He was about to continue in his thoughts when everyone saw the driver get off the bike.

Okay, everyone.
I'm so unusual; you all have to look at me, huh?
Fine, then.
You want a show, you got one. Lena thought to herself as she got off her bike.
She took off her helmet, and pulled out her hair tie, shaking her hair out. The students stood, entranced. This beautiful girl showed up out of nowhere.
Her perfect face, her bright eyes, her perfect blonde hair, her look. Everything about her screamed out "COOL."
She wore a schooled expression, and walked by everyone without even acknowledging the admiration in the stares. She acted as if no one that mattered was there.

As she neared the school doors, though, she locked eyes with two people. Her eyes met a short kid with multi-colored hair, though mostly blonde, and purple eyes, much like how she remembered her father.
Her eyes met with another guy, a little taller than herself, with brown hair, a stern expression, yet captivating blue eyes.
She looked down after catching their eyes, and went inside.

She felt a touch of fear, looking into the happy eyes of that short kid and the pained eyes of the blue-eyed guy.
Those happy purple eyes she remembered often seeing when she was small, from both her father and her brother. She was sure they were common, but his struck out more, reminding her exactly of her little brother.
But those blue eyes, now they were something else.
How could anyone have the same eyes as him?
The only thing that drove her into thinking it wouldn't be him was how angry he looked and just how much pain was hidden behind those blue eyes.
Those boys couldn't be Yugi and Seto.
They wouldn't be them.
They just remind you of them.

After being in the principal's office, she was guided to her class. When she got there, her guide quickly handed the teacher the information of her being his new student, and he introduced her.
"Class, this is our new student. Allow me to introduce Ms. Lena Muto-Pegasus," he said.
The entire class, save two boys, and one of the boys friends, tensed up at the name "Pegasus" and gasped.
The friends of one of the boys were confused that about the "Muto" part of her name.
The two boys, still couldn't get past the teacher calling her "Lena Muto," so much that they didn't even grasp the other last name.
"Please make her feel welcome. Ms. Pegasus, please sit in the empty desk between Mr. Yugi Muto and Mr. Seto Kaiba."

All of a sudden, the class saw the girl tense up. Her eyes went wide, she actually looked like she was scared.
The owners to the other names mentioned had the same expressions on their face. Little did they know, they were all thinking almost the same thoughts. Lena was thinking, Yugi and Seto…. Are Here?
The other two boys had the same exact thought.
Lena…. Is…. Alive?

Seto was also in shock, as was Yugi.
This girl, who showed up out of nowhere, is Lena?
The Lena they both knew and cared for?
The Lena who plagued their dreams before they woke up yesterday, only thinking of their memories of the last time they saw her.
This can't be her, she died!
Her room was entirely on fire before she could get out! Seto thought to was simply amazed.
We almost ran into Lena!
He was so stunned, he didn't realize he was capturing the attention of his fellow classmates with how apparent he was letting some of his emotions show.

L…L…Lena? Yugi thought to himself.
B-b-but I…I haven't seen her since the day Grandpa came by to pick me up and a freak accident happened to catch our home on fire!
Grandpa said mom and dad didn't make it, but no one found Lena's body, but it wasn't likely she made it either.
Grandpa was worried that it was planned and Lena had been abducted, most likely her body would never show up…. But she's here?
My sister is alive?
His eyes were brimming with tears as the teacher asked him to show Lena where to sit.
As their eyes met, tears were forming in her eyes too.

She disregarded any of her thoughts of Seto and rushed to her seat, her eyes only locked with Yugi's.
The teacher, oblivious to this, checked the clock, and, seeing what the time was, called a study break. As he left the room, conversations filled the classroom.
Mostly they were surrounding the new girl. Who she was, how Yugi and Kaiba reacted to her, and the fact that she had buth Muto and Pegasus in her last name.
Yugi approached Lena, cautiously, "L-Lena?"
"Y-Yugi?"
They looked into each other's eyes again as silent tears fell, and they hurried into a hug.
"Lena, I-I thought.. Grandpa and I…. we thought- you're alive?"
"Yes… I just can't believe it's you… and…. Ha..I can't believe I've been thinking you wouldn't stay here after that. I decided that I'd come back here, whether Maximillion thought it was good for me or not."
" Wait. Did you say Maximillion?" Yugi asked, pulling back and looking at her.
"Yeah. You mean, like, Maximillion Pegasus?" the kid with blonde hair and the outspoken look said. "Oh yeah, I'm Joey! I'm one of Yugi's best buds!"
Lena began to get confused, "Yeah, Maximillion raised me. "

She thought about what they were possibly thinking and it rung in her mind.
"Oh yeah! I heard about what had happened and that he got what he deserved by losing that millennium eye he had. I haven't been as close to him since then because it confused me, but I don't think of him as a monster. And I did end up almost beating him to a pulp for trapping Grandpa, Mokuba, and Seto, and most of that was for Mokuba. He was out of his mind to do something so awful to a cute little kid. Seto probably would've killed him if anything had happened to where he couldn't get Mokuba back,"
"It's Kaiba."

They all turned around, looking at the boy who hadn't done anything except show shock since Lena walked into the room.
He was standing now, leaning against his desk and looking straight at Lena, his face back to being angry and his eyes looking over her skeptically.
"S-S-Seto?" was all Lena could get out.
That boy, the one with the blue eyes that could draw you in, is my old best friend? She thought to herself.
"I said, it's Kaiba," he said, with a growl he honestly didn't mean to ever direct at her.
"You… you're the CEO of KaibaCorp?" Lena truly was amazed.
So he had gotten adopted by the previous CEO of KaibaCorp- wait. Wasn't that guy really evil?
"Yes," he replied. "And yes, I would've killed Maximillion if anything happened that we couldn't get my brother back."
Something about how he was saying what he was saying and how he was looking at her stung.

Why does he sound so cold? When we were younger he was never this cold to me.
No matter what mood he was in, he made sure to never ever treat me coldly.
Feeling a bit of pain, and being told by Yugi that the break was about to be finished, she went back to her desk.
She looked through her bag, bringing something out, and slammed it onto "Kaiba's" desk.
His eyes immediately flashed up to hers.
In a voice as cold as he had given her, and though she didn't want, filled with obvious pain, said something for him and him alone.
"It's for you. It's what I went back inside for that day. The only thing that got me through some really tough or life-threatening points in my life was that stupid need to give it to you in return for your present to me," she said, showing him that she was wearing his present.
"You know it's amazing how stupid it was that even when we were planning to get a present without the other knowing, that we had the same thing made for each other. Hope you like it Kaiba."

With that, she decided to ignore him, and turned away, pretending to pay attention to the teacher, who was now starting class.
Seto was stunned, but wouldn't show it on his face.
He held the present in his hand now, and looked at it. It was just like the necklace he had gotten her, just obviously as old as the one she was wearing, and made for a guy.
Just so she wouldn't feel smug with how he would've went ahead and put it on, he merely put it in his pocket and pretended he was listening to the teacher while sneaking glances at Lena every chance he got.
Before the class ended for lunch, he saw her lips tug into a smirk, then she finally glanced at him, making his smirk appear and hers falter.
Before he could speak to her, when the class finally ended, Yugi and his Geek Squad ran off with Lena.

Seto left the classroom in his usual pace, and made his way over to the tree he always sat at during lunch.
He would never admit it, not even to himself, but he rather enjoyed sitting near Yugi and his Geek Squad.
In some ways, he wonders if they all could've been friends if their lives hadn't changed as drastically as it had.
Would he be open to making friends if he hadn't lost Lena?
You didn't lose Lena, she's still alive.
You thought you lost her, you idiot.
She was your childhood best friend.
She was the one you possibly were beginning to fall for.
But there is still a chance for you, and you don't even realize it!
She's alive, and it's proof enough by her finally giving you the present she had gone inside to get, that she has remembered and thought about you all these years as you did her.
Just then, he looked up at the geeks' table and saw his beautiful treasure sitting there.
Lena, I can't even begin to tell you how much I've missed you, he thinks to himself.

Seto sees her.
She's sitting at the center of the groups' attention at the table, next to Yugi and that dog, Wheeler.
They're talking in a rush to her, except Yugi, who's sitting next to his sister, watching her with interest that he has his sister back.
She is sitting there, quietly, hardly listening to the rushed chatter around her, but being nice enough to attempt to listen.
She still looks upset, he thinks to himself.
She must either not want the attention or she might be still upset with me for not instantly welcoming someone I thought had died when I saw that there had been no way out of her room while it had that much fire.
He sighs, and tries to turn his gaze back to his laptop, but it finds its way back over to Lena.
She hasn't changed too much from that day.
I mean, of course, she's matured, and she does have a body that will make the guys in this school see her as a prize; along with a pretty face.
Her hair isn't as bright blonde as it used to be.
It used to be the same color as the Dog over there and Mai Valentine.
Ha, if Valentine saw her right now, she'd probably decide to be her new rival, seeing as they both have an obvious sex appeal, it's just Lena doesn't look like she'd flaunt it like Valentine does.
When you'd compare them, Valentine would be easy while Lena would be a gem.

Then, a glimmer coming from her neck, but not from the necklace he had given her, is glowing rather oddly.
His vision caught something else dangling from her neck, hanging lower than the dragons, a pyramid.
So she and Yugi are alike in that way too.
They both had necklaces that had pyramids at the ends, though Yugi's was bigger. Apparently, his was the Millenium Puzzle.
What could hers be?
The odd glow from the dragons matched the odd glow coming from that pyramid. It's still just a faint glow, so that could explain why none of those idiots have seen it, other than the fact that they are idiots, so they're oblivious to most things going on around them.
He almost began to smile at all the jabs he's made at Yugi and his friends' expenses, but quickly stopped himself. He sighed an irritated sigh and forced his eyes and mind to be fixed on his laptop so he could get some work done.

Lena finally got the chance to just fully ignore Joey as he began to speak with Tristan about DuelMonsters. Tea began scolding Joey when he made a comment of something around the lines of " getting himself into a duel with every dueler that will get in Yugi's way."
Lena, unknowingly, let her gaze fall anywhere, and it just so happened that it fell upon a tree close to their table, and right across from it, too.
Her eyes traveled from the top of the tree down, and landed upon the boy sitting on the grass under the tree, typing furiously with a stern gaze on his laptop.
What's he getting so worked up about?
She knew that this anger was different from the fake "put-off" anger he had used in the class room, clearly guarding himself and purposely being rude and acting like a jerk; too keep people from getting close enough to him to hurt him.
I've done the same thing many times before, that's for sure.
She didn't notice her brother looking at her, nor did she notice when Tea grabbed Joey and Tristan by the ears and led them away to knock some sense into them.
"Um, Lena?" Yugi asked, cautiously.
"Hm?" she responded, only half-hearing her brother.
She was intrigued; would that be the right word?
This Seto was someone far colder than the one she used to know. The little boy she had once known was beginning to let people in, even if it was only her, whereas this version was trying to do everything possible to keep everyone other than his brother, even her, out.
That's what made her watch him; observing who he had made himself out to be.
She was sure that she was still able to tell if something about him was fake or not, but she had to admit to herself that she couldn't hold herself any higher than him; they both grew into people who will fake an act around people, rather than actually get to know that person.
"Why are you staring at Kaiba?"
She almost erupted in fury from that reminder.
Kaiba?
Why is he so persistent that everyone call him by his last name?
If anyone, he should allow Mokuba, Yugi, and I to call him Seto, since we've known him that way for the longest time.
"Oh, I must've not realized I was looking at him," she lies, hoping Yugi won't realize.
"Speaking of him, by the way, why is he sitting all by himself under that tree? I would think you guys would've invited him over here."
"Oh, well, he's not interested in any of us being his friends. He only relies on his brother. He and I are kind of rivals when it comes to DuelMonsters and he and Joey really don't get along. It might just be because Joey is third in the rank of top duelists, while Kaiba is second, and I'm first."
"Or it might just be because Joey acts like a dog."
I laughed, joking with him, and he joined in.
"But you guys are the top duelists, huh? That's pretty cool, I've met all three in one day, and I'm related to the King of Games while the one who created the games is my step-father. Well, technically, he's still my godfather, it's just the law sees him only as my step-father."

"So do you play DuelMonsters?" he asked, listening to how I knew about the games and who was the best.
"Well, I have dueled a series of places in America and throughout Europe, so, yeah, I guess I play and that I'm pretty good."
She looked around, noticing the absence of Joey, Tristan, and Tea. Yugi told her that they had gone off while she had gotten lost in thought, then asked if she wanted to help him go look for them.
"No, you go ahead. I'll see you in class, Yugi. And by the way, don't worry about me anytime I go quiet, okay? I guess you could just say that I'm kind of like Kaiba at times."

He left, and she allowed her mind to take over again as she became quiet.
She looked over to Seto, er, Kaiba, again and noticed how uncomfortable he looked, sitting against that tree like that while he was clearly stressing himself out over whatever he was doing on his laptop. She made up her mind and got up from the table.
He didn't notice her or just ignored her as she walked over to him. When he did notice someone standing in front him, watching him, he sighed.
"What do you want? Spit it out already, or if you just came here to say nothing important and just stand there like a moron, go away."
She was impressed, all that in one breath, really fast, and without even looking up to see who he was speaking to.
What if it had been a teacher?
He probably would be like me and not care; hey, he could even pay to get the guy fired.
She laughed silently to herself.

She watched as he packed up his laptop, preparing to get away from the "moron" who wouldn't tell him why they were there or what they want.
"Here," she finally said reaching out her hand to help pull him up, planning to have himsit with her at the lunch table.
She could tell he was preparing himself to act differently, but it must have been the fact it was a girl's voice that spoke to him that made him stop.
He looked up.
"L-Lena?" he started, walls cracking a bit, then he cleared his throat and they were back.
"What do you want?"
"Just let me help you up, then you can follow me back to that lunch table right there, and you can be more comfortable. Just come on."
He looked over to the lunch table as he unknowingly allowed her to help him up. It was empty.
He followed her, still not realizing he was and got to the table.
"So where are your brother and the rest of the Geek Squad?" he asked, just to be polite.
"Well they're off somewhere, I don't know. But okay, if you want, I'll leave too. You don't have to pretend to be nice to me, it's apparent enough that you're starting to despise me for no real reason, so I'll give you what you want. You can sit here, alone."
He rushed to grab her hand before she walked off. She turned around.
"Y-You.. don't have to leave…" he began.
She smiled and sat down. It was rather enjoyable to both of them, surpisingly.
They enjoyed the rest of lunch in each oher's company; in a some-what stand-offish appearance to others, yet was a comfortable silence to the pair.

What do you think? Little hearts barely showing back up for Seto yet, or random reunion?

Any help you guys could give for ideas on anything with this story would be great. I have a great sense of where it's going, but I need help with planning out duels and cool attacks (even made up ones could help), so please please please help me. I'm definitely NOT an expert when it comes to dueling in Yu-Gi-Oh! but I get the basics.
