Chapter 1: The Exchange Students

Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristen, Bakura, and Mai were in their classroom waiting for class to
start.

Joey: Yug, are you okay.

Yugi: Just a bit nervous.

Mai: Why are you nervous?

Yugi: Those two exchange students from America are coming today.

Tea: And your point is?

Yugi: Every time someone comes here something strange happens.

Bakura: Don’t worry, Yugi, you’ll be fine.

Yugi was about to answer, but was interrupted by the teacher who walked with
two students following behind her.  One was a boy and the other was a girl.  The boy was
average height, with black hair, and brown eyes.  He was wearing a pair of jeans with a
plain white shirt.  The girl was pretty tall, with blonde hair that went down to her knees,
and light blue eyes.  She was wearing tight jeans and a tank top.

Ms. Terra: Class, these are the new exchange students. Now, please tell us your names
and where you come from.

Boy: My name is Christopher Bimmer and I come from Philadelphia.

Girl: I’m Shadow Moon and I come from Philly.

Ms. Terra: Well that’s nice. Okay, now let get you seated. Shadow, you set next to Yugi,
he is right there and, Christopher, you sit right in front of Shadow.

They nod their heads and sit down where they were told.  Yugi glanced at
Christopher and then at Shadow who gave him a smile.  Yugi smiled back.

Yami: /Yugi?/ (this / means there talking in their mind)

Yugi: /Yes, Yami./

Yami: /I want you to keep an eye on Christopher and Shadow./

Yugi: /Why?/

Yami: /I sense a dark force coming from them that keeps me from reading thier souls./
Yugi: /But Shadow seems so nice./

Yami: /I know but just to make sure keep an eye on them./

Yugi: /Whatever, Yami./

??????: Yugi, are you okay?

It was a girl’s voice but he was not exactly sure who it could be.  It could be Tea
or Mai because they sat close to him.  Then he heard the voice again.

??????: Yugi, anyone in that head of yours?

He looked up and saw Shadow’s light blue eyes.  She looked at him like he was
insane.

Yugi: Sorry, Shadow.

Shadow: Its okay.

Yugi: So, what was I doing?

Shadow: I don’t know exactly. It just freaked me out.

Yugi: Oh.

Shadow: Please, Yugi, don’t do that again it really freaks me out.

Yugi: Okay, I’ll try not to.

Right before the end of school they had a break for thirty minutes.  Shadow
watched as Yugi’s friends came over.  She started to stand up to get away but someone
grabbed her around the wrist.  She turned around to see Yugi.

Shadow: Can you let go of my wrist?

Yugi: No, Shadow just stay here.

Shadow: Fine, but don’t bother me. I tend to get a little moody.

Yugi: Fine.

Shadow sat back down and grabbed her bag.  She still kept an eye on Yugi’s
friends.  She stuck her hand in her bag and grabbed what she needed.  Yugi’s friend’s sat
down near him.
Tristen: Hello, Shadow.

Shadow: Who are you?

Yugi: Shadow, these are my friends Joey, Bakura, Mai, Tea, and Tristen.

Shadow: Oh. Hi.

Everyone: Hi.

Everyone was staring at what was in her hand.  They were trying to figure out
what it could be.

Bakura: So, Shadow?

Shadow: Yes.

Tristen: What’s in your hand?

Shadow: Oh. Some Duel Monster Cards.

Mai: You have Duel Monster Cards?

Shadow: Ya, doesn’t everyone.

Joey: Let us see them then.

Shadow: Ha! In your dreams.

Tea: Come on Shadow. No one’s going to steal them.

Shadow: That’s what they said in my old school. But once the people in my old school
saw the cards they would steal them.

Yugi: You can trust us. We won’t steal your cards.

Joey: Ya, beside we probably have the cards already.

Shadow: Ya, right. But you can look at them.

She handed her cards over to them.  They flipped card after card and saying
something about each card.  But the next three cards made Yugi’s heart stop.

Yugi: Sh-Shadow.... h-how did... y-you get these... ca-cards?

Everyone: What cards?

Yugi spread the three cards across his desk.  Everyone was just about to look at
the cards but Shadow snatched them off of Yugi’s desk.

Joey: WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?

Shadow: These are my rarest cards. And I don’t want everyone seeing them.

Christopher was watching them.  He had a glint in his eye like he was up to
something.

Shadow: Fine if you want to see them.

She held the three cards up.  The first one was the Rainbow Guardian which was a
giant dog with a long rainbow tail.  The second and third were the Light Guardian and the
Shadow Guardian which were two more giant dogs but this time the Light Guardian had a
white tail and the Shadow Guardian had a black tail.

Tea: Where did you get these cards?

Shadow: None of your business.

She was in luck because the bell had just rang and she rushed out the door.  She
ran to the bike rack to get her motorcycle.

Yugi: Shadow, what was that for?

She didn’t answer him.  And the main reason she didn’t have an answer so why say
anything.

Yugi: You can’t ignore me forever.

Shadow: I don’t have an answer.

Yugi: You must have a reason. You snapped at Tea.

She didn’t answer him she just looked down. 

Yugi: Shadow, are you okay?

Shadow: Mm-hmm. Want me to take you home?

Yugi: Are we going on that bike?

Shadow: Yes.

She grabbed her motorcycle and hopped on.

Shadow: Come on, Yugi.

He got on the motorcycle.

Yugi: I’m ready.

Shadow: Okay. Hold on.

She started the bike and drove off towards Yugi’s house.

Shadow: I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Me: Neither can I.

Everyone: So what’s going to happen next!

Me: You’ll have to read the next chapter.

Everyone: Darn.

Me: Sorry.

Here are some questions: Are Shadow and Christopher evil?  Why did Christopher have a
glint in his eye?
