Chapter 1

"Hey, Yugi! Whatcha doing?" Jonouchi asked as he entered the game shop followed by Honda, Anzu and Bakura.

"I'm just trying to clean up the shop. My cousin Yuriko is coming to stay for a couple of weeks during her break from college. I haven't seen her for almost three years." Yugi replied cheerfully. "She is going to be helping out at the shop while grandpa's off on his trip."

"You mean she is here to keep an eye on you." Anzu injected.

Yugi blushed and then sighed. It had been a while since he had seen Yuriko. The last time he saw her was when she was packing to go away to college. He always enjoyed spending time with her. She was a lot of fun to be with and he considered her not only his cousin but also his friend. He didn't mind having her in charge; he was just excited to get to spend some time with her.

"She is going to be here any minute." Yugi said.

"So is she hot?" Jonouchi grinned at Yugi.

"Depends on your definition of 'hot'." A voice from behind them said.

"Yuriko!" Yugi shouted gleefully and came up to her.

The rest of them slowly turned around and saw a lovely young woman in the doorway. She was a few inches taller than Yugi with a slender frame and milky white skin. Her wavy ebony hair hung to her waist and her soft blue eyes were gentle.

Yuriko opened her arms and embraced her cousin. She noticed how much he had grown these past three years. He was growing into a handsome young man.

"Yugi. How have you been?" she asked smiling toward him.

"I've been great," he replied, "I have so much to tell you."

"We'll have plenty of time to catch up while I'm here." Yuriko said as she came on into the game shop and noticed the others.

"Hello." Jonouchi said blushing, remembering what he said just moments before.

"Hello." Yuriko replied.

"Let me introduce you to everyone," said Yugi, "This is Anzu, Honda, Jou and Bakura. They are my friends from school."

"Hello." They said in unison.

"So your Yugi's cousin from college," said Anzu turning to speak, "What year are you in?"

"I'm almost done with my third year." Yuriko replied, "I'm studying to be an English teacher."

"Hey Bakura. Isn't English your worst subject?" Honda asked grinning at Bakura.

Bakura's eyes darted at Honda. "Well yes, but you didn't have to bring it up."

"Since I'll be staying her for a while, I could give you some help if you want." Yuriko said to Bakura.

Bakura looked at her and something deep inside him burned. She was very pretty but it seemed more than that.

"Well," He stammered, "If you don't think it would be too much trouble."

"Oh not at all. I'd love to." She smiled. Suddenly that burning sensation returned to him as soon as she smiled at him.

"Let me help you with your suitcase." Said Yugi, quickly walking back and grabbing her suitcase, "I'll take it up to the guest room."

"Thank you Yugi." Came her reply.

Yugi came back down and heard the others chattering to Yuriko. 'They all are getting along wonderfully. I knew they would like Yuriko.' Yugi was smiling when her came in.

"Yugi it's been a long day of traveling for me and I am pretty tired. I think I'm going to go ahead and retire early." Yuriko said, "I really enjoyed meeting all of you, and Bakura," turning to face him, "why don't you come by tomorrow and we can see about a time that we can get together and look over your English."

"Sure." He politely replied.

She said her goodbyes and walked upstairs. She quickly washed up and got into her nightclothes. As she slipped into bed a funny feeling swept over her. She had first noticed it when she laid eyes on Bakura. There was something about him that nipped at her inside, as if something long lost had been awakened. 'Why do I feel this way? He's just a kid a just met.' As she pondered on the thought she slowly drifted off to sleep.

A/N: Sorry it may seem short but the first two chapters are just introduction. Chapter 3 on will be more in depth and longer. Please read and review.
