Chapter One

Yami groaned, smacking his arm down at the alarm clock and briefly considering throwing the damned thing at the wall. Today was the start of his Junior year at Domino High and he'd made quarterback for the football team, the Domino Tigers. He wished he could have gone back to sleep and pretend that it was still the summer, but he had to get up early and out of bed to run around the neighbourhood to keep up his physique. He threw on a pair of track bottoms and a grey hoodie, ruffling his spiked tricoloured hair quickly as he passed a mirror. He ran out the door and jogged to the end of the block, where he'd be meeting his friends, Malik and Bakura, who were also on the football team.

Bakura was the first to arrive. He sprinted up and smacked Yami on the back laughing deeply. Bakura was a tall teenager, almost 6"4 in height, dwarfing Yami at his almost petite 5"7, he was broad shouldered and had long grey hair that fell beyond his shoulders.

"Long time no see… Meet any girls this summer?"

"Why do you ask?" Yami said suspiciously, "Did you meet anyone special?"

Just then Malik joined them. Malik was an insane boy, who was well built and stood at 6"2, with a mass of hair that seemed to defy gravity and add about an extra foot to his height. He was openly gay and had been since he was 14, at his terrifying build, he dared people to try and mess with him for it.

"I meet a REALLY cute guy!" Malik interrupted, coming up from behind Yami.

"WHATTHEFUU-" Yami started whirling around.

"Oh right sorry… Hi there!" Malik waved.

"Hey," Bakura greeted his best friend, "Welcome back. How was Egypt?"

"It was really awesome! I met this Egyptian boy called Marik and he was the absolute -"

Just then Yami cut in, "I'd love to stand here and chat all morning, but if we don't start running now, my abs will disintegrate…"

The boys erupted into laughter and started their jog, Malik talking loudly about this Marik boy the whole time.

Yuugi awoke to the sound of her alarm clock and jumped out of bed excitedly. It was not just her first day of high school but CHEERLEADING TRYOUTS! She ran into the bathroom she had to look gorgeous for this special occasion. She sat down at her table full of makeup and hair accessories. She started with a pale foundation and purple coloured mascara to match her lavender eyes. She turned on her hair curler, giving it time to heat up while she applied violet eye shadow and a generous helping of pink lip gloss. She curled her hair with expert precision, having been doing this since she first made the cheerleading team in Middle School. She pulled her shoulder length hair up into a ponytail that sat up on the top of her head. Her tricoloured hair fell in ringlets around her head. Her hair colour was an odd blend of blonde, black and violet strands which people found hard to believe wasn't a dye job.

Yuugi sprinted down the stairs fastening her leather chocker, saying hello to her Grandfather who sat at the table reading a newspaper and drinking a cup of coffee. She grabbed chickpea soup out of the fridge and placed it in the micro-wave. Yuugi was a vegan and had to take iron supplements to help her keep a balanced healthy diet. Gulping them down with a glass of water she grabbed a spoon from the drawer and pressed the button on the microwave impatiently, taking out the luke-warm soup.

"Would you like a ride to school today?" her grandfather asked over his newspaper.

"No, I've got it covered. Thanks!" she chimed.

Yuugi would be getting a ride to school with her best friend Ryou. Ryou was 15 and 6"0, he had shoulder length white hair and warm brown eyes, Ryou's family had always been there for Yuugi, especially after her parents had died in the car accident 3 years ago.

15 minutes later Yuugi stood outside her door as Ryou's mother's grey mercedes pulled up at the end of the driveway. She slid into the familiar car saying a quick hello to Mrs Bakura and hugging Ryou.

"Someone's excited…" Ryou said disinterestedly.

"Someone's sarcastic…" Yuugi quipped.

"Are you excited for cheerleading tryouts, dear?" Mrs Bakura asked from the front.

"Yes, thank you."

"And for cute high school boys," Ryou whispered into Yuugi's ear causing her to laugh.

It was only a few moments before the car pulled up in front of Domino High, the two teenagers in the back of the car squeezed each other's hands as they reached for the door handles.

The three football players arrived, panting at the corner of Yami's road.

"God, we are so out of shape from this summer!" Bakura yelled.

"Speak for yourself, I kept running every morning this summer. We can't all afford to run off to fancy foreign destinations," Yami said, staring pointedly at Malik.

"Take a chill pill, dude," Malik said shoving Yami on the shoulder.

"Whatever, I'm going to take a shower, see you losers at school!" Yami said turning around and walking back to his house.

"Bye!" Malik and Bakura shouted, turning towards their own respective houses.

Back home, Yami tapped on the door of his sister, Madeleine's room and shouted at her to get up. She groaned at him.

Yami took a quick shower and then spent a good 20 minutes in front of the mirror fixing his hair into perfect symmetrical spikes. Yami's hair was very distinct. He had strands of thick blond hair that fell in a sort of frame around his face, strands of this blond also ran through the spikes he'd arranged above his head. Most of Yami's hair was black, but the ends were a purple colour. He walked over to his closet grabbing a pair of tight black leather pants and a vest, over this he would wear his lettermen jacket from last year. After all, it was essential he make the right expression in front of the new freshmen. He took a quick look in the mirror, rubbing the last traces of sleep out of his crimson eyes. Fastening his leather choker, he walked down the stairs to greet his sister, who was looking very unimpressed.

"Food. Now." She grumbled at him.

"Someone's not a morning person," he laughed, ruffling her hair.

"I can and will bite you…" She lifted his hand out of her hair and squinted at him.

"OK, OKAY, Jeez"

He pulled out a box of waffles and jammed them into the toaster, waiting for the familiar "ding!" noise of the toaster, he watched as Madeleine pulled her purple hair up into a ponytail. Grabbing the waffles, he placed one on her plate and 5 on his own.

"Somebody's hungry" Madeleine said.

"Shup, I ran 2 miles this morning"

"Oh, I'm so impressed!" She said sarcastically.

"Oi, just because you can't run 2 feet without collapsing…"

She just glared until he finished eating.

"Ready to roll?" Yami asked.

Madeleine nodded and the two of them made their way to Yami's red Chevy which conveniently matched his jacket. He made a quick stop at Domino Middle School to drop his sister off for her first day of 7th grade before turning the radio up as high as it could go. It was as he drove into the parking lot that he ended up almost rear ending the car in front of him while he stared in awe at a new student.

She was tiny, 5"0 at the most, she was pale and her bangs hung over her face, a blonde colour. The rest of her hair was pulled up in a ponytail, curly strands of purple and black hanging down in the back. Her eyes were huge and an astounding lavender colour. Aside from her remarkable resemblance to himself, he had to admit that she was stunningly beautiful.

"Yami! What the crap are you doing?" Seto, Yami's cousin, shouted from the window of his black Porche, which had been stuck behind Yami's car while he stared.

This shocked Yami out of his stupor and he pressed his foot down on the ignition, pulling into the first parking place he could find, but not before he had noticed that she had been holding another boy's hand. Before he had time to dwell on this, Malik showed up and banged on the side of his car.

"First day baby!" He called.

Yami got out of the car and stopped breathing. Malik was wearing neon green skinny jeans and a white sweater with holes in so that it showed his midriff.

"What in the name of Ra are you WEARING?" Yami started.

"Like it?" Malik asked spinning around. "I got it in Egypt."

"What the hell part of Egypt were you in?" Yami shouted.

"The best part?" Malik asked, confused at Yami's outrage.

Then Bakura turned up in something a little more school appropriate - khaki's and a red and black striped t-shirt.

"Ok girls, are we just gonna stand here forever?" Bakura asked.

"Who are you calling a girl you albino cream-puff?" Malik yelled sticking his tongue out at Bakura and grabbing him into a headlock.

"Break it up! God, you're like children." Yami shouted at the two.

"Yes Mommy!" The two said standing up straight.

Yami rolled his eyes and started walking towards the school.

"Let's get this over with!" He called behind him as he marched towards the building, secretly hoping that he'd meet the strange girl again. Maybe this time without the boy whose hand she held.

A/N: There it is! The first chapter! :D Sorry if Yuugi's a bit out of character, but to be honest, she hasn't had much interaction and there wasn't much space to get his/her personality in… We'll work on it in the next few chapters.

Yuugi: You… made me a girl? 0.o

Grace: Er… A little…

Yuugi: Why?

Grace: You're slightly feminine and I'm slightly off my rocker…

Yuugi: Yaaammii! COME SAVE ME!

Grace and Ty: HAHA! *cough*
