Aoi: so yah, I finally decided to write this. Sorry it took so long, I've kind of been having writers block and wasn't quite sure what to do in this chapter. But the good news is there is going to be a new character in this chapter, I hope you like her!

Eiko sat at the counter; she looked at her watch impatiently. 'Were the heck are they?' she thought to herself. Suddenly the sound of bells could be heard as the door to the shop opened.

"Hey, Eiko!" Jonouchi said, smiling.

"You!" Eiko said as she stood up, pointing a finger at Jonouchi. She got out from behind the counter, walking towards her friends. "And you and you and you!" she said, pointing at Yugi, Anzu, and Honda. "Why were you guys spying on me last night?" she asked accusingly, crossing her arms. Anyone could tell that Eiko was angry, her face said it all. No one said a word while Eiko waited impatiently with their answer. Finally Yugi stepped forward.

"Eiko, we're sorry. We shouldn't have spied on you and Kaiba on your date."

"You're damn right you guys shouldn't have!" Eiko said, raising her voice. Then her look softened. "Look guys, I really like Seto. And I know you guys aren't great friends—"

"He tried to kill us!" Jonouchi yelled, interrupting Eiko.

"Jonouchi!" Anzu yelled.

"What, it's true!" Jonouchi said, looking at Anzu.

"Calm down, man," Honda said, placing his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"What the hell are you guys talking about?" Eiko asked.

"Grrr," Jonouchi said, gritting his teeth. "Why don't you ask your boyfriend? Or has he not told you about death-T?" (Vol. 4-5, Kaiba created an amusement park for the sole purpose of killing Yugi. Yeah….)

"Look, would you guys stop?" Eiko said, running her hands thought her hair. "I don't want to hear about this death-T thing, I have a major headache, homework, and work." Eiko said. "So can you guys just agree that you won't spy on me and Seto again?" Eiko asked, looking at her friends pleadingly.

Everyone looked at each other; they didn't plan on spying on Seto and Eiko in the future. But this really wasn't what this was about.

"We promise," Yugi said, looking at Eiko.

Eiko smiled. "Thanks, guys." she started to walk back to the counter. Eiko stopped in her tracks, bringing her head to her forehead; she let out a quiet groan that she hoped none of her friends would hear.

"You alright, Eiko?" Anzu asked.

"Yeah," Eiko said, turning to face her friend. "I'm—"

Hello. A smooth, satin voice said in Eiko's head. Eiko's body fell to the ground in a heap.

"Oh great, not this again!" Honda said, exasperated.

"Let's take her upstairs," Yugi suggested. Honda and Jonouchi lifted Eiko up from the ground and carried her up the stairs. Anzu and Yugi followed closely behind.

"Yugi," Anzu whispered as they walked up the stairs. "You don't think this the other Eiko, do you?" Anzu asked. Her face had a worried look on it.

"Don't worry, Anzu. Eiko defeated her, remember?" Yugi said as he smiled.

"I guess so," Anzu said. But she still wasn't convinced. After all, they had defeated Yami Bakura before they went to the pharaoh's memories. But he still lived inside the millennium ring afterwards. The group finally reached the Motou's family room. Jonouchi and Honda set Eiko down on the couch. She lay there motionless.

"Jonouchi, get me a wet towel, will you?" Anzu asked.

"All right." Jonouchi went into the kitchen and brought back a moist towel. Anzu placed it lightly on Eiko's forehead. Eiko's eyes opened slowly.

"Hey, she's waking up!" Anzu exclaimed.

"You okay, Eiko?" Yugi asked, looking down at her.

"Yes, I'm fine, thank you," everyone was taken aback. Eiko's voice was smoother, more ladylike. Eiko sat up slowly. "I took quite a spill there, eh, Motou-san?" Everyone looked at Eiko. Her eyes were a dark blue, and she had a soft doll-like look on her face.

"Um, Eiko… is that you?" Jonouchi asked, looking at her more closely. Eiko had a look of annoyance on her face.

"It's very rude to stare." The way Eiko said it made Jonouchi jump.

"Oh, sorry," he said, pulling his face away.

"I also don't remember giving you permission to call me by my first name, did I, Jonouchi-san?" Everyone was looking at Eiko; she had never once complained about them using her first name, in fact she seemed to prefer it to her surname. Eiko straightened her hair, then got up from the couch.

"Thank you very much for the help, but if you don't mind, I must return to work," Eiko said, bowing respectfully. She glided her way down the stairs. Everyone was silent.

"When did she become my grandma?" Honda asked. The four headed down the stairs to the game shop. Eiko stood at the counter; her back was sick straight, like a student who was concentrating on her teacher's lecture. Her eyes faced forward, waiting for customers.

"Um, E—I mean , Tsubaki-chan?" Anzu said. Eiko turned to face her.

"Yes, Mazaki-san?" Eiko asked.

"You're not Eiko, are you?" Eiko had a blank look on her face. "What I mean is, that you're not the Eiko we've known for the past few months."

"Yes, like the one before me, with red eyes, I am a different Eiko. A more ladylike and proper Eiko."

"Yeah, we figured that out," Honda said.

"Humph," Eiko said, turning her head away from them. "How rude."

The boys looked at each other. 'This is going to get annoying really fast,' Jonouchi thought. Yugi walked over towards Eiko.

"Tsubaki-chan?" Yugi said, calling her by her preferred name.

"Yes, Mutou-san?" Eiko said, looking down at Yugi.

"Are you going to let Eiko back in control of her body? Or are you going to control her like the last Eiko?"

"I don't see why she shouldn't."

Everyone turned to the sound of the new voice. A girl in a strapless red top and tight dark blue jeans leaned against one of the display cabinets. She had a heart shaped face that was nicely framed by her short dark brown hair that ended in spikes; she had blood red eyes and a smirk on her face.

"Neh! You're that weird red-eyed freak that stole my Red Eyes!" Jonouchi exclaimed, pointing at Red.

"Good to see you too, Jonouchi. By the way, I didn't steal Red Eyes; I earned it by beating you in a duel. There is a big difference."

"Yeah, whatever…" Jonouchi said, turning his head to the side.

"Akai, what are you doing? We are not allowed to—" Eiko started to say.

"Oh please, Blue, we were going to do it at some point. Might as well get it over with," Red said, interrupting her.

"Blue?" the girl said, her face losing composure.

"Well, yeah. Let's face it, if Eiko calls me Red then she is definitely going to call you Blue."

"But my name is Aoi! Not Blue! And I would prefer to be called Tsubaki-san." She emphasized the horrific san as to show the gang that she did not appreciate being called Tsubaki-chan.

"And I care why?" there was an angry look on Blue's face now. "Anyway, as I was saying." Red started to walk towards the counter. "Blue here doesn't really have a reason to want to control Eiko's body. As where I did," Red explained. "So why don't you just run along, Blue. Go ahead run along," Red said, making a shoo motion with her hand.

"I suppose I might as well. I have no reason to stay," she turned to face Yugi and his friends. "It seems as though my teachings are not appreciated here."

"Yeah, Blue, they're not appreciated anywhere." Red said bluntly. Blue closed her eyes, when they opened again; Eiko had her normal gold eyes back.

"Eiko! Your back!" Jonouchi said happily. "You are back right?" Eiko opened her mouth to speak when Jonouchi cut her off. "Ha! Of course you are! If you weren't, you would be freaking out about how I didn't call you Tsubaki-chan!"

I have a feeling that I will have some troubles with that one… Blue said.

'Oh, come on, they're not that bad.' Eiko told Blue.

Have you forgotten that they spied on you and Kaiba-san, who I do not approve of might I add, on your date last night? Blue said. Eiko could have sworn that she heard Blue sipping tea, but Eiko couldn't be sure.

'I think I can forgive them for that.' Blue let out a sigh,

You forgive much too easily, Eiko. And that is not something Akai or I applaud.Eiko was about to ask her what she meant when Jonouchi interrupted her thoughts.

"Hey Eiko, want to stay to watch the Duel Monsters tournament on tonight?" Jonouchi asked, a smile on his face.

"Sorry, Jonouchi, but I should really study…"

"Well, if you're not staying, I will," Red said. "Pizza is on me!" she said triumphantly, placing her fist high in the air.

"Um, no it's not. You would have to use my money, remember?" Eiko said bluntly.

"Oh, come on, Eiko," Red said, looking back at her.

"Yeah, come on, Eiko," Honda said.

"Oh, don't you start!" Eiko complained, she didn't like being gained up on by her friends. Luckily Yugi came to her defense.

"Guys, I'll pay for pizza," Yugi said.

"Oh good, I really didn't want to pay, but I figured I might as well." Red explained. "To the arcade!" Red said, placing her fist once again high in the air. Eiko slammed her head into the Game Shop counter. 'It's going to be a long year…'

Aoi: wow, I made quite a few references to the manga. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about, with death-T and all. It was only in season 0 of the anime so unless you read the manga you probably don't know about it. Anyway, I hope you like blue! She reminds me of Shinku from Rozen Maiden and-

Red: stop your boring author's note right now.

Aoi: Red? W-what are you doing with that gun, Red?

Red: Blue, that's her name? Really?

Aoi: Ok, let me explain. Like I said before, I've had this story in my head for a long time and when Akai and me were deciding on a pen name I—

Red: too late! (Bang!)

Akai: Red!

Red: What?

Akai: I was going to do that! You stole my thunder!

Red: don't worry; it's only an Evoker.

(Blue and green cat like Persona comes out of Aoi)

Persona: Squeak!

Red+Akai: ok…?
