Hikki: Well Hello Pplz! In recent development my psychiatrist suggested that I needed more social skills, which means that I will be forced to be nice to my wonderful cast. ^_^

Hikki: Don't worry Tea I'm not gonna kill you anymore anywayz. ^_^

Marik: So lemme get this straight, you're not gonna be evil anymore *pouting*

Marik: Its-its-its NOT FAIR!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Hikki: There, there. (Pats Marik on the back)

Yami: So what are you gonna to now?

Hikki: (turns around) Figure out how to get rid of this. Drops two ton writers block in front of them.

Yami: *major sweatdrop* How did that happen?

Hikki: Not sure, it was just there when I woke up.

Picks up disclaimer and throws it against cement wall. Disclaimer bounces off and lands at Yami's feet, or rather on them.

Yami: (swears in Egyptian) !_!

Hikki: Okay…Yami! You get to help me first! ^_^

Yami: (in pain) WHY ME!!!!

Hikki: *sighs* Because the almighty writers block chose you that's why. (mumbling) And also because it seems to be the only way of getting you ppl to co-operate…

Yami: Great…-_-`

Hikki: I knew you'd agree ^_^

Yami: Hikaru does not own any of the YGO characters, blah, blah, blah.

Hikki: ^_^ Now who wants to help me with the writers block?

YGO: O_O RUN!!!!!!!!!!

Hikki: ^_^ Please excuse me while I gather the cast. Here's the story ^_^

***

"Okay so this is what we've got," said Mai confidently, " I'll go to school with you as a new student and try to stay low until this is all sorted out. If this all goes according to plan I'll be out of here by Friday."

Ryou nodded.

"Now we gotta get to sleep there's a lot to do tomorrow."

~* Five Minutes Later *~

BEEP ,BEEP ,BEEP-

"Damn it! Oh well." Mai dragged herself out of bed.

Ryou walked over to her, "Umm if you don't mind my asking but how are you gonna go to school if you don't have any clothes or supplies?"

"You just let me worry about that," said Mai giving Ryou a wink, "Meet me downstairs in ten minutes."

With that Mai left the room.

Now for most teens if a stranger appeared in your kitchen, talked to a hollo disk, and made magic which Ryou was sure of, they'd probably faint in frustration of the whole situation. Ryou probably would have too, but then again, its not like this hadn't happened before.

He quickly got dressed and ready for school. He walked down the stairs, wondering what Mai was planning, but he wasn't ready for what was waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs.

Mai was staring at him wearing a rather punky outfit. She wore studded bracelets on both her wrists, a black tank top, green cargos, and a studded choker. At her side was linen bag covered in buttons.

"You can't wear that!" cried Ryou in alarm, and clapped his hand over his mouth for speaking aloud. He thought of what the girls uniforms really looked like then he looked back at Mai.

He expected a blow to the head, but it never came. Instead Mai just smiled and said, " You're absolutely right!"

Mai snapped her fingers and instantly her clothes morphed into a girls uniform and her linen bag turned into a regulation nap-sac that all the kids had.

"Better?" she asked.

Ryou just gaped his mouth aghast.

"I thought so," Mai smiled and turned around and began to walk out the door.

Ryou ran after her. He was surprised that she knew her way. When they arrived at the school Mai left for the office to get some papers signed and Ryou left for his class.

Ryou walked into his class, early as always. He plopped down in his seat and let out a breath of relief almost as if he had been holding it since they left his house. Maybe they could get away with it.

"Hey Ryou!" said a cheerful voice. It was Yugi.

"What's wrong? Is Bakura picking on you again?"

"N-no!" said Ryou a little too quickly.

Yugi frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Ya. I've just got a lot on my mind." Ryou sighed and slunk back into his chair.

"K. Cause you know if ever have anything to talk about-"

He was cut off as the teacher walked in.

"Settle down class, now before we begin I have an announcement."

Half the class gave there undivided attention while everyone else half-listened.

"We have a new student."

Ryou's face paled.

`Oh gawd PLEASE say its not her. Please I swear I'll be good for the rest of my life, forever and ever just don't let it be-`

"Please welcome Mary Ellen Conner."

`Screw you.'

Mai smiled at her new classmates, and if Ryou didn't know better he could of sworn he saw her eyes change colour for a sec.

"Now Miss Conner why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?"

Mai nodded.

"As already know my name is Mary Ellen, but most people just call me Mai cause it's a lot easier to remember."

The teacher turned back to her class. "Does anyone have any questions for Mary- I mean Mai?"

Joey's hand shot up.

"Yes Mr. Wheeler?"

Joey smiled smugly, " Is your hair really that colour or did you dye it?" He said motioning to Mai's bright lime green hair.

"Joey!" whispered Yugi fiercely, Ryou's face paled. Mai simply smiled.

" Yes. This my real hair colour and I like it."

The teacher quickly stood up, to discourage any other…awkward questions.

"Now let me see…" said the teacher, "Ah! How about you sit beside Mr. Mouto."

The desks were arranged in twos, Mai quickly took her seat, not wanting to be noticed anymore than she had too.

"Hi my name is Yugi," whispered Yugi, "If you need any help just ask me ok?"

Mai smiled at him. Making him feel slightly intimidated. Ryou on the other hand, was sweating a downpour and his face was as white as his hair.

//Calm down//

\\ WHAT! Who's there!\\

//Jeez it's me Mai remember?//

\\ Sure, right, ya\\

//If you don't calm down you're gonna blow our cover so cool it//

\\ O-ok\\

//Who knows maybe I can some fun..//

\\ WHAT!!!\\

//oopsie did I say that out loud?//

\\ Mai-\\

"MR. BAKURA DO YOU WANT A DETENTION!?"

Ryou's face paled even more. The whole class was staring at him.

"no" whispered Ryou weakly.

"Than I suggest you pay more attention!" with that the teacher huffed off to her desk.

When the class ended Ryou grabbed his stuff and ran out the door.

"Mr. Mouto could I see you for a moment?"

Yugi made his way to the teachers desk, " Yes Ms. Mizuki?"

"I was wondering, the new girl Mai might have some trouble fitting in so could you please be nice to her maybe help her with homework, she's come to us all the way from America you know."

"The States?"

"No, no a little more north of that. Canada."

"Oh, okay Ms. Mizuki." Said Yugi with a smile.

"Good now hurry up to class or you'll be late!"

Yugi ran off to find his class, he was already five minutes late. He was almost at the door when, WHAM!

"Say, what's the hurry shrimp?"

Yugi was being held up against a locker.

"Lemme go!" cried Yugi.

"Or what? You attack me with your necklace? What a loser, necklaces are for girls."

The bully's gang snickered.

"Hey can I see da necklace?" asked one of the gang members.

"Ya sure," the bully smiled and grabbed the millenium puzzle off of Yugi and threw it over to one of his goons.

"Give it back!" cried Yugi.

He was replied to by a strong punch in the face and a hard kick in the ribs.

The bullies giggled.

"Hey do that again boss," one of the snickered.

The bully leaned down over to Yugi.

"So shrimp the fella's want to see some more action, what's that? I'm glad you agree."

The bully kicked Yugi in the stomach.

"My, my, my. That must be a lot of fun." Said a voice, "Picking on people one third your size."

The bullies turned to see Mai with a devilish smile on her face.

" Would you make an exception for someone one half your size?" she asked sweetly.

"Stay out of this bitch."

"Hmm, how about no."

"You got a death wish?"

"The question is do you got a death wish?"

"Me?" The bullies erupted with laughter.

"You." Mai's smiled broadened.

Suddenly the boss of the gang stopped breathing and collapsed to the floor. Mai had punched him hard in the stomach.

"You BITCH!!!" cried one of the gang members and charged at her.

With a turn of her wrist the bully soared threw the air and crashed against a locker.

"Anyone else?" asked Mai sweetly.

The rest of the gang grabbed their leader and member and trudged down the hall.

"This isn't over!" cried one of them at the other end of the hall.

"Good." Mumbled Mai.

She knelt down over Yugi.

"Jeez they really did a number on you didn't they."

"Not as good a number as you did to them," coughed Yugi.

Mai helped him to his feet.

"You're lucky, they didn't break anything," she said.

"I guess."

"Here the one I tossed dropped this," She held out the millenium puzzle to him.

"Thanks!" Yugi's attitude completely changed.

"Well I'm late as it is, see you later Yugi!" With that Mai dashed down the hall.

`Wow, she's amazing,' thought Yugi as he headed to class, little did Yugi know but he wasn't the only one who had witnessed Mai's little performance.

Yami: Why do I have to help you! I already said the disclaimer! Isn't that enough!

Hikki: No. What does the disclaimer have to do with anything? And because you were the one that mind-crushed my front lawn to slow me down whiled I chased you and ended up falling in one yourself. That's why.

Yami: *pouting*

Hikki: Grow up.

Hikki: Oh nothing much or else I'm giving all your cards to Seto.

Seto magically appears in a puff of smoke.

Seto: *Cough* I wish you wouldn't do that.

Hikki: *Waves Yami's deck in front of Seto's face*
