As morning came to the town, a young man woke to the sound of his alarm clock. He quickly got out of bed and began changing into his school uniform. He smiled as he realized he only had about one more week of wearing this uniform before he would be finished with high school. Once changed, he combed through his spiked hair: hair that was mostly black with a magenta outline and blond bangs. Yugi wouldn't let himself look sloppy in his last week of school. Upon coming downstairs, he heard a news report that his grandfather was watching that morning.
"... another dead body was found near the alleys of Kobayashi Street. No injuries were shown, but officials say..."
As the report continued, Yugi muttered, "Oh no, another one? That's the fourth one this week..."
"Good morning, Yugi."
He looked towards his grandfather once he heard the greeting and said, "Good morning, Grandpa. I'm heading out now. Anything I need to get you on my way home?"
"I don't think so. Perhaps a small gallon of milk," the old man responded. "Just make sure to call me when you're coming home, alright?"
"Okay, I will. Bye." With that, Yugi went out the door and began to walk to school.

He got down a few streets when he heard his name being called. Smiling as he recognized the voice, he turned, and saw a girl his age running towards him. She had short brown hair, her bangs hanging in her face, which had a splash of freckles. She wore a pleated blue skirt and pink jacket.
"Good morning Kristen." Yugi said, feeling his heart skip a beat when she got closer to him. She smiled brightly at him and took hold of his hand, making his heart thud even harder.
"I'm glad I caught up to you." she said a little breathlessly.
"I'm glad you did too," Yugi replied, feeling just a little shy.

Kristen quickly caught her breath and smiled warmly at him. Yugi blushed a pale pink but returned her smile. They walked to their school together, exchanging light conversation

"It's kind of interesting that we're going to be graduating so soon." Kristen said softly. "I-I really hope we're going to stay in contact."
"yeah me too." Yugi said gently. "We're going to the same university, I bet we'll have lunch together as usual."
"I'd really like that Yugi." Kristen beamed. Yugi smiled at her shyly, "It'd be great if we even had classes together."
"we could do that." he said excitedly. Kristen continued to smile until she noticed a figure staring over at them and looked to see a girl their age staring a little adamantly towards Yugi. Once she noticed Kristen's gaze on her, she turned and walked into Domino High.

Yugi glanced in the direction that Kristen was staring and said aloud, "I wonder who that was..."
"I think she's a student from our class," Kristen said. "I hardly ever talk to her though."
"Oh..." They paused for a moment before entering their school.

Yugi walked kristen to her locker and couldn't help but admire her as she grabbed her books for the day.

The two went on to class. They were doing their final exams for the next couple of days, so he tried to concentrate hard on his exams and also the upcoming graduation ceremony.
He was definitely excited to graduate and go on to college. Part of him had no idea what he wanted to study, but he knew he would figure it out. "Maybe I should ask Kristen out, and hopefully we would last the summer and be able to enjoy college together. he thought to himself. It was a random thought, but the thought had been plaguing him the past couple of weeks.

Finally, after many rough hours, the class day was coming to an end. As Yugi went through his locker, he sighed.
"Are you alright, Yugi?" Kristen asked curiously.
He looked back at her before shrugging. "Yeah, just these past couple of exams were pretty brutal."

Kristen nodded sympathetically, "yeah, but on the bright side it's all over." she said

"I'm certainly looking forward to our graduation," Yugi said with a smile.
"Me too." Kristen looking back towards Yugi with a sparkle in her eyes. Then, she said, "Do you think we could do something special after graduation to celebrate?"

"That would be fun, what did you have in mind?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know, maybe our families could get together for a dinner? O-or it could just be the two of us?" Kristen's voice faded in the last sentence and Yugi blushed a bit more.
"I-I'd love to take you out to dinner." he said quietly, looking at his shoes. "A-and maybe we can go to the fair?"
Kristen hesitated for a long moment, wondering if Yugi was finally asking her out? They had of course just hung out as friends and gone to movies and had meals. But, she had always been too nervous and shy to ask if he wanted it as a date or not.
"J-just us?" she asked, to which Yugi nodded.
"yeah. Just us."

Kristen felt herself grinning from ear to ear, and she looked away out of fear of blushing immensely. Happily, she said, "I-I'd like that, Yugi. Very much."
"Good," Yugi said, feeling pretty proud of himself for making this offer. "I'll make sure to send you a date and time later."

She nodded quickly adn then noticed the time. "well, I should probably get home Yugi. I'm sorry, I've got chores to do and such."
"yeah sure, I have to pick up some things for my grandfather anyway, but I'll...see you tomorrow?"
"Of course!" Kristen said excitedly nodding. "See you tomorrow."
the two parted ways, with Yugi having a skip in his step, still feeling elated about being bold enough to ask her on a date. the teenager walked down the streets of domino, before he came to his favorite grocery store. He took some time to look at a few cards and other games before making his way to the dairy section and grabbed some milk. Satisfied, he turned around and abruptly crashed into someone. The milk slid from his fingers in surprise, and he braced himself for a deafening crack and for milk to explode.
Quick as lightning, a hand grabbed his shoulders, to keep him from falling, and the milk was caught. "you should be more careful Yugi," a deep voice said from behind him, and he turned to see a young man had stopped his potential accident.
"Oh...Yami!" he exclaimed turning to face the other boy.
Yami, looked much like Yugi himself, except his eyes were a little narrowed and seemed to have a crimson hue in his violet orbs. His hair stuck out in odd ends just like Yugi's, only the blonde bangs were a little more prominent.

"What are you doing here?" Yugi asked, a smile on his face. "I hardly ever see you at this time of day."
"Well, I had a few errands to run," Yami responded calmly as he handed him his milk back. "I was actually hoping to find you today."
"Really?" Yugi looked back at him curiously, wondering what was on his mind.

Yami nodded. "Yes. I am afraid I will be needing your help." Yugi tilted his head in confusion. He'd met Yami about two years ago and often assisted him around his home and office for some extra money, so he wasn't sure what Yami would need this time.
"Sure, what do you need?"
"I will be busy running errands over the next few days and I need someone to please take care of my aquariums at the office. Would you be able to drop in after school?"
"Of course! Do you still keep the fish food and cleaning supplies in your office?"
"Yes, do you still have the guest key I gave you?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Excellent, I will let my security team know you will coming by. I appreciate your assistance, as always, Yugi."
"Sure thing!" he said with a smile and Yami nodded before walking past him.

Yugi watched him go, before going to make his purchases.
Yami stepped outside of the shop, smirking to himself and looking up at the sun. "Pity the sun doesn't burn your eyes out." a voice said softly, and he turned abruptly to see a small girl sitting at a table in a cafe. Her long brown hair was tied back and her hazel eyes focused on the book in front of her.
"Oh...Kim...what a pleasant surprise." he said politely "What a rude thing to say though." the girl just shrugged in response and he found himself scowling.
"so what "errands" do you plan to run Yami?"
"Nothing that concerns you, so mind your own business." he snapped. Kim stared back at him cooly,
"I know you're not going out, which is why it worries me you're inviting that kid to a...private setting."

Yami's eyes narrowed as he stayed silent. Eventually, he straightened his jacket and simply mumbled, "I believe I have the right to bring whoever I want into my office."
Kim looked back at him knowingly, causing Yami to get more irritated. With a scowl, he added, "But again, it's none of your business."
"Well, if you plan on doing what I think you are, I'm sure it will become my business. Or at the very least, it will be Bakura's."

Yami's hand twitched and he stepped towards her quickly, gripping her chin. "Listen here." he hissed. "What I do is my business and not your masters. And certainly not yours. you are nothing in this community and will be nothing for the rest of your miserable existence. Try to threaten me again, and I will make you very sorry for it."

"Do you really want to cause a scene now? In the daylight?" Kim asked. While her tone held no challenge, her eyes did.
Yami, meanwhile, glared her down for a long moment before glaring, "Keep to yourself, girl." He then let go of her and stormed off in the other direction.

She left soem money on the table and stood quietly, walking down the busy sidewalks.
She followed the familiar road to a towering building and stepped inside. Humans meandered, oblivious to one more maong them, and she walked to the elevator, flashing her key card in front of the scanner before pressing the button for the basement.
The elevator moved and she leaned against the wall, listening to the awkward jazz music until it finally came to a halt. She stepped outside of the elevator and entered into the large, cell-like room with storage crates lining the walls. She approached a specific spot on the wall and removed her glove, pressing her thumb against what looked like a crack.
A small beam of light scanned her thumb and the wall slid open, revealing a larger, metallic room. She entered quietly and the doors slid shut behind her.
"Bakura!" she called out. At first, it was silent.
However, she heard movement above her and turned in time to see a man in a black coat with wild, white hair and glowing red eyes landing on the ground behind her.
"Hello Kim," he purred, his voice a cool, reverberating strum that radiated from deep in his throat. A British accent colored his words and he smirked at her.
