Kagome put the finishing touches on the lilac colored ribbon in Anzu's hair before patting it with a smile. Anzu wore a matching, lilac, collared dress that hugged her figure and stopped mid-thigh. A pair of matching boots were near her bedroom door. "Thanks, Kagome-chan. How do I look?" Anzu asked.

"You look really pretty Anzu-chan. Are you sure I shouldn't change my clothes? Maybe I can wear one of my other outfits. I like the clothes we bought together, but I'm not sure I can pull it off," Kagome said and looked down at herself.

"Quit being ridiculous, Kagome-chan. You look amazing. I bet the Pharaoh will think so too," Anzu winked. Kagome felt her face heat up before biting her lip. She looked at herself in Anzu's mirror. She wore a strapless, loose, light pink top with a small, white bow tied under her bust. She wore a pair of skinny jeans. The small heels Anzu had convinced her to wear were next to Anzu's boots.

"Girls, your friends are here!" the two heard Kasumi call up to them. Anzu looped her arm in Kagome's before grabbing their shoes, shutting off the light, and pulling her down the stairs. The girls met up with Yugi, Jounouchi, Honda in the living room of Anzu's home. Yugi wore a grey, sleeveless shirt with a red symbol on the front with a dark blue jacket over it and grey jeans. Jounouchi wore a blue tee and jeans with his dog tag around his neck and Honda wore a white tee, black jacket, and jeans.

"Finally. You guys ready to go or what?" Jounouchi asked with his hands in his pockets. Yugi smiled at his friends while Honda gave them a casual smile.

"Yep. We don't want you guys to be late for your tournament," Kagome said.

"We'll see you later, Mom," Anzu called while slipping on her shoes. Kasumi waved goodbye to the teenagers before moving to her home office.

"I'm going to kick butt in this tournament. I can feel it!" Jounouchi exclaimed and stretched his arms above his head.

"I'm sure you'll do fine, Jounouchi-kun," Kagome said.

"I'll do better than fine, Kagome. I'm going to win," Jounouchi said. Kagome nodded to her friend, but didn't say any more. The group proceeded to their destination of Kaiba Land.

"Attack Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl! Use Twin Dark Magic Attack to destroy Ginzo," Yami proclaimed. Jounouchi watched with wide yes as the two Spell casters joined wands before firing their combined attack at his monster. HIs life points dropped like a rock from 1000 to 0. He could hear cheering from the crowd as Yami gave him a nod and small smile. Standing straighter, he returned the nod with a thumbs up.

The two dismounted the arena before being joined by Mokuba with a microphone. Yami allowed Mokuba to raise his hand triumphantly with an amused expression. Looking away, he noticed his friends cheering at the front of the crowd. Yami accepted the trophy from Mokuba before making his way to his friends with Jounouchi following.

"Congratulations. How is it that you always draw just the right card at the right time?" Kagome asked and gave the Pharaoh a playful look.

He placed the trophy down on the wall between them before smirking at her. "I suppose I am just extremely lucky," he shrugged. Kagome smiled with a small laugh before reaching behind her for her purse.

"I say we move on and join up with the other later. I owe you a victory treat," she says. Yami gives her a nod before allowing her to lead him away from their friends, the arena, and the screaming fans. "Well King of Games, what would you like for a treat?" Kagome asked after several minutes of walking back to the food court.

She felt him squeeze her hand slightly in his. She looked up at him in question before pausing. She knew that look. Kagome could tell that he wanted nothing more to spend his time with her away from prying eyes. Yami wasn't one for PDA, preferring to keep romantic displays private between the two.

"I suppose we could go take a walk somewhere else?" Kagome tried. At his pleased smile, Kagome smiled brightly.

"Higurashi!"

The two paused mid-step before turning at the loud voice. They watched as several people stopped and allowed a young man with short, brown hair to move through the crowd. Yami watched the boy suspiciously. He wore a pair of tan pants with a yellow polo tucked neatly into his pants and a brown belt holding up said pants.

"Hojo-kun! What a surprise!" Kagome said. Yami allowed her to pull her hand away before stepping towards the boy. Yami watched the scene with a critical eye. The boy paused in front of Kagome with a hesitant expression. He seemed shocked at Kagome's quick, friendly hug as well as embarrassed. "What are you doing here?"

"I actually stopped by your family's shrine a couple of days ago to speak to you, but your mother said that you were out of town. She told me that you have been staying in Domino City and would be attending the tournament. I guess I was just hoping I would see you," Hojo finished with his blush flushing his entire face. Yami watched with an unamused expression, not saying anything.

"That was nice of you. It's nice to see you, Hojo-kun," Kagome said pleasantly.

"I had no idea that you were into the game, Higurashi," Hojo said while scratching the back of his neck. The way the boy behind Higurashi was staring at him was beginning to unnerve him.

"Oh. I actually came to cheer Yugi-kun on," Kagome said before taking a step backwards and joining Yami at his side. "Hojo-kun, this is Yugi-kun. He was paying in the tournament and he won," Kagome spoke with hints of pride lacing her tone.

Hojo looked directly at the teen for the first time. The violet stare he met made him want to shift and look away. He suddenly felt as if he were being fully examined from under a microscope. He could feel himself shrinking in presence next to the boy. After some time, the boy smirked at him with a small nod as if he had predicted Hojo's reaction to his stare. Hojo bowed in return.

"Hojo-kun is a friend of mine from middle school. We've known each other for a while," Kagome said while staring at Yami. He looked down at her catching her subliminal message: Be Nice.

"It's always a pleasure to meet friends of Kagome's," Yami said to the boy. Hojo now felt even more inadequate than before. Was this the type of guy Higurashi wanted? This "Yugi" seemed confident, calm, smooth, and very proper. Hojo felt his hopes sink of ever gaining Higurashi as his girlfriend. But, he had to try.

"Higurashi, I was wondering if you wanted to go out this Saturday…to see a movie..with me. If you don't want to see a movie, that's fine. We can do some other activity together…" Hojo trailed off. Kagome felt her hopes sink at once. This proved problematic. How was she going to tell Hojo that she already had a boyfriend. How was she going to tell him that she was in a secret relationship with the Pharaoh while he shared a body with Yugi?

Yami was boiling over with something foul. He couldn't quite place the emotion at first- it was foreign to him. After some seconds, he recognized it as jealousy. Was he jealous of this boy? He internally scoffed at his foolishness. Kagome was his- what was the term?- girlfriend. It was foolish to be jealous of a middle school friend with a middle school crush.

"Hojo-kun, do you really want to come all the way back to Domino just to watch one movie?" Kagome started gently.

Both boys shot her looks. Hojo's look was one filled with hope. She hadn't rejected him. He still had a chance! Yami's look was one of shock with flecks of horror. Was she really considering his offer!? This was not the answer he had expected from her.

"I don't mind, Higurashi. I haven't seen you in so long. It will be fun. We can celebrate your good health. Domino seems to be doing wonders for you," Hojo said with a small smile. Kagome returned the smile with less enthusiasm. Yami resisted rolling his eyes.

Kagome could feel the Pharaoh's dark energy rising slightly and bit her lip. Why did Hojo have to follow her to Domino? Her friends had said that he was interested, but she had no idea that he was this serious. She knew she had to turn him down. The Pharaoh's darkening aura was an obvious sign of that. But, how to do it gently?

"Actually, I just remembered. I have to work on Saturday," Hojo said sadly. Kagome could have jumped for joy. Yami was fully appeased. He could tell that the boy was persistent. On lucky break wouldn't get rid of him permanently. He would have to show the boy that Kagome was his. "Could we maybe go for something to eat right now? If you're not busy," Hojo said hopefully.

"Actually-" Kagome started, ready to squash the situation.

"Kagome and I were about to get something to eat. Would you like to join us? I'm sure Kagome is looking forward to reconnecting with an old friend," Yami spoke smoothly in a tone he reserved for times when he had to absolutely get his way. He felt Kagome's shocked, frantic eyes on him, but didn't meet her gaze. He stared at Hojo, awaiting an answer.

The boy looked hesitant. Yami knew he had hoped to spend his time with Kagome alone. Yami blinked patiently. "Sure. It could be fun," Hojo said after some time.

~:~

Kagome was upset with him. He could tell from the way she refused to look at him and focused all her attention on drinking her smoothie. He sat back in his chair, his eyes moving from the back of Kagome's head, to Hojo (he boy would quickly shift his eyes away whenever the two met gazes), to a random park goer, and back to Kagome.

"I'm just going to go to the restroom. I'll be right back," Hojo spoke silently before rising from the table. Neither of the other two responded. Once Hojo was out of earshot, Kagome turning flaming eyes onto the Pharaoh. Not even the expectation of her anger could have prepared him for it.

"What were you thinking?" she hissed. "I have no intention of going out with Hojo-kun."

"I can tell his type. He's not going to give up easily. I was not about to let you spend time alone with him," he replied.

Realization flashed onto Kagome's face. "You're jealous of Hojo-kun?" she asked. She gave him a smirk that mimicked his own. He stared back at her before sifting his eyes away.

"Yes," he said. Kagome seemed surprised by his answer. She hadn't expected the truth. Surely, he would try to hide it? "It makes no sense to lie. You can already tell. You and him have history, however short or uneventful it may be. That is something we do not have. Also, he is not a thousand-year-old spirit inhabiting the body of another. He can give you more than I."

Kagome felt her heart grow and warm at his confession. She gave him a bright smile. "I don't care. I knew that before we started dating. I have a habit of loving boys with extraordinary back stories. The ordinary and boring hold no interest to me," she said with a casual wave of her hand.

Yami gave her a long, searching stare wanting nothing more than to kiss her and not care who sees. But, he couldn't. They couldn't afford to have word get out of Yugi Mouto dating his friend. (It would complicate things for Yugi and Anzu who had just begun dating themselves).

"I'm back," Hojo said with a smile. He took a seat at the table, his confidence renewed. His eyes shifted between the two who were now staring intently at each other. He blinked confusedly.

"Hojo-kun, this was fun, but we have to go. I'll see you around sometime," Kagome said while Yami stood. Kagome stood as well and allowed him to push in her chair before grabbing his trophy by the handle, taking her by the arm, and leading her away. Hojo watched them go feeling his hopes sink.

He had once heard Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi describe Kagome's boyfriend to him. Picturing the boy in his mind as well as Yugi, Hojo came to a conclusion. Kagome liked boys with unique features. Maybe he could dye his hair?

Moi-Moi: Ha! Hojo is such a nerd.
