Chapter One: Beyond Atem Part 2
"WO-WOAH! Excuse me! Pardon me!" A red head cried as she juggled her textbooks attempting to make her way through a crowd of people. Just when she thought she had enough problems her cell phone started ringing. "Oh no! Not now!" Bloom cried before she hurried out of the store. Bloom barely was able to pull out her phone from her jeans working it up between her shoulder and head. "Hel-Hello? Oh! Sky! Hey, I was just about to head to my new apartment! Yeah, I'm totally psyched about it! Though at the same time majorly scared. I know I'm from earth an-oaf!" Bloom paused as he quickly caught a book that nearly fell out of her hands. "Huh? Oh sorry! I almost lost a book. Don't be silly these books don't jump out of your hands. But maybe I'd be better off in Alpha...WAH!" the redhead gasped as hit something and fell to the ground with a thud. Her books flew everywhere as she tried to pick them up. "B-Bloom? Are you there? What happened!?" Sky's voice on the other end of the phone echoed. "Ow, that hurt..." Bloom groaned before she paused as she noticed she ran into a young man with multicolored hair. "Are you ok?" Yugi questioned as he helped her pick up her books. "Yeah, I think so...hey that uniform..." "Huh? Oh yeah. It's a Domino University uniform. I thought I'd try it on for size though it might be a bit big." "Nah it looks good on you. I haven't even gotten mine yet. I just moved into my apartment so I'm not really familiar with the area." "Well, then why don't you come with me? I live just around the corner I could show you around the place."
"Really!? That'd be awesome! Uh..." "Yugi. Yugi Moto. And you are?" "Bloom. My name's Bloom." "Bloom nice to meet you!" Yugi offered a sweet smile. "Nice it meet you too Yugi!" "Come on follow me." Yugi murmured before he helped Bloom carry half of her book. "Uh hello Bloom are you ok!?" a panicked Sky cried out of the other end. "Uh yeah, I'm fine! Hey, I'll call you back later! Ok? Bye!" Bloom told her boyfriend before she hung up. The redhead followed the blonde until they arrived at a small little shop. It was rather charming. "Darn grandson of mine...leaving before he finishes his chores..." the old man grumbled before he noticed his grandson with a young woman. "I'm back Grandpa!" Yugi exclaimed with a smile. "Ah, there you are!" "Sorry I had to get my uniform today...I forgot my books come to think about it..." Yugi sweatdropped before Bloom giggled. "Well, you DO have half of mine." "True." Yugi laughed in exchange. "Oh, Grandpa this is Bloom. She's just moved into the city." "Hi! Um...Mr. Moto?" "Oh please no need for formalities just call me grandpa..." the old man grinned.
"Uh, I think I'll just stick with Mr, Moto...but thanks." "Geesh Grandpa you can be such a per..." Yugi paused before the roar of an engine interrupted his train of thought. A motorcycle pulled up to the game shop. It gleamed with a white and silver shine as the rider unclipped and removed his helmet. "K-Kaiba?!" Yugi questioned taken off guard as his scarlet eyed widened. "W-Wait...as in Kaiba of Kiba Corp! Woah that's major!" Bloom cried out completely blown away. Without a word, the CEO parked his bike and walked over towards Yugi though he couldn't help but take notice of his new friend. "Well, this is different..." Kaiba began with a smirk. "Hanging out with women now rather than dogs? From first glance, i'd say it's an improvement..." "Ugh..." Yugi groaned. "What do you want Kaiba? If you're here for Atem I already told you! He's gone! I don't like it anymore than you do...but we BOTH have to move on..." "Don't you think I know that?!" Kaiba snapped angrily. "The person I'm here to see is YOU Yugi..." "But Kaiba I-" Before Yugi could utter another word the CEO held out to the blonde the piece of paper out towards him. Yugi frowned before he took it from Kaiba. "...What is it?" Yugi questioned as Bloom peered over Yugi's shoulder. The red head's eyes widened as she laid her eyes upon the sign and gasped backing up. She couldn't stop shaking as her body was stricken with fear. "Bloom?" Yugi questioned worriedly. "Dear are you quite alright? Do you need a doctor?" Mr. Moto questioned. Bloom couldn't answer before she fled without a second thought in a blind panic.
"H-ey! HEY!" Kaiba spat as he snarled and got back on his bike. "K-KAIBA! WAIT!" Yugi cried out as he hurried over to his rival. "Move aside Yugi! I'm going after her! She knows something and I intend to find out what!" "NOT WITHOUT ME! SHE'S MY FRIEND KAIBA!" Yugi proclaimed as his eyes hardened. "...Ugh...Spare me your friendship speeches and just get on the damn bike...you better hold on tight though I'm not going to take the blame should you just HAPPEN to fall off..." Kaiba muttered as he held out to Yugi a helmet. "Thank you..." Yugi murmured as he placed on the helmet and got on the back placing his hand firmly around the CEO's waist. Kaiba revved up his motorcycle and took off like one of his blue eyes white dragons. No matter what it took he WOULD catch up to that girl if it was the last thing he did!
