To love loveless: remixed

Summary: there's a new student at Domino high school and for some reason, she has her mind set to make Atem's life miserable. Who is this strange girl and why does she hate him so much? Atem is set to find out why!

Warnings: uhmmm…angst, Atem -bashing, cursing and whole lot of drama and slight yaoi…oh yeah, some Seto bashing too…and the sex…but that's not till later so it's mostly implied for now…

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh nor do I own Savira- she is the intellectual or should I say insane property of Sokras Shibuya. I do however own Shojiki.

Mitzumi: sigh looking back; I realized that the original version of TLL did not start off in the beginning. It was practically in medias res- in the middle of things. So to be truer to that format, I've re-done it. Thankies to dragonlady22 and journey maker for being my first two reviewers on my first attempt. I love you guys so much and also to Sokras for sticking by me to do this whole 19 and counting story long epic for the past 4 years. So without much ado, onward with the fict!

Chapter 1- Murphy's Law

It's stated in Murphy's Law that anything that can go to hell, will. At least, that's the basic Bakura version anyway…

So why hasn't anyone told Atemu Yami that?

Here he was in chemistry, praying to every god he knew- and there were a lot- that he wouldn't blow something up today…for the second time…in the past hour. His lab partner was equally nervous. Yugi wasn't used to his other half being such a klutz and it slightly unnerved him.

But then again, it's been like this for the past month, ever since Atemu started dating Tea…ever since those two girls joined their class.

One of those girls, a red haired African girl named Shojiki who was currently paired up with Seto, toying with his computer as he did the experiment. Ever once in a while, she would call his attention to something on the screen making him smirk, not smile. The day Seto Kaiba smiled would be the day where flying pigs would drop dead everywhere and Mitzumi would give up on yaoi.

Shojiki made it no secret that she was dating the CEO although many a fangirl gave her a hard time for it but she stood her ground and in typical Kaiba fashion all but threaten them to death. Needless to say, they backed off, though there was some hateful glares shot her way every once in a while.

Then there was Savira who was on Atemu's other side, encouraging, or more like prodding him into doing the right thing. She was more mysterious than Shojiki even thought the two reluctantly claimed to be half-sisters.

For one thing, Shojiki wore the girl uniform although modified by her designers at her personal fashion company. Savira wore the school uniform but not the one for her gender.

Yes, she wore the male uniform and refused to wear the other one. Her argument?

“It's still a uniform isn't it?”

Mostly everyone left her alone though Shojiki would drag her along on their group outings when she wasn't working on her inventions. Top-secret inventions which Atemu and Joey speculated was to help her gain world domination.

Needless to say, she wasn't a friend with the whole group. In fact, the only ones she was close to were Yugi, Tea, and Shojiki. But Shojiki was her sister, and Yugi was nice to everyone so those two really didn't count. It was strange, Savira and Tea's relationship. They didn't exactly do the close buddy things but they didn't ignore each other either.

Then there was Atemu.

For some reason, she loved to torment him, from saying little things like about his hair to pulling full out pranks on him like the time she stuffed 20 balloons filled with paint into his locker so that they would pelt him when he opened it.

But for some reason, she would always be nice to him right afterward like after the paint incident, she lent him some spare clothes and a cap to wear until he got home.

It was weird all right and to be completely honest, it perplexed Yugi.

What was this girl's M.O.?

“Hey, runt, a little help here!”

Anywhoo, back to the current moment…

Yugi blinked then sweatdropped as he surveyed the scene before him. Atemu was holding a beaker with a solution that was quickly bubbling over. He put it down just in time for it to explode. Yugi and Savira managed to duck but Atemu wasn't so lucky. He got it full to the face and it stuck like gum. Some of it even got in his hair.

“Hey, don't worry star-head I got this. This is the perfect time to try out my Turbo-Dryer Gun.” Savira said pulling out a weird contraption that looked like a mini jet engine duck taped to a hairdryer.

“Uh-oh, everyone DUCK AND COVER!!” Shojiki yelled, pulling Seto down with her. Everyone did so except for Atemu and Savira. Atemu would've but he didn't hear that due to the fact that some of the gunk that got in his ears.

“Okay, powering up, heat level stable. Alrighty then, GO!!” she pressed the on button.

Instantly a gigantic cloud of smog, with a lack of a more fitting word, belched out of the machine and engulfed Atemu's upper half. Once it did, Savira turned off the machine.

“Hmm…the smog is supposed to be white...” Savira said thoughtfully, examining her invention.

“What happens if it's black?” Tea asked cautiously as she and the rest of the class got up, somehow knowing that the danger has past.

“Dunno. Oi, star-head, you okay in there?”

There wasn't a reply for a minute until the smog started to clear and only then did they hear Atemu coughing. The teacher turned on the ventilation to clear up the remaining smog and the rest of the tachi ran to open the windows.

Once it cleared, there stood Atemu. The intense heat had made his hair droop from its usual spikes into thick strands on his shoulders. His face and upper body was covered in sweat.

“Gods, what was that? Sauna-in-a-cloud?” Atemu coughed as he sat down. The white shirt he had chosen to wear was clinging rather uncomfortably to his form.

“No but that's not a bad name,” Savira mused as Tea walked over.

“Atemu? Are you alright?'

`Well other than my pores being unnaturally cleaner than usual, I think I will fine. By the way, can I borrow a hair band or something? I need something to keep my hair out of my eyes, “ he said, already doing the bishonen hair flip to keep it out of his eyes. More than a couple girls' hearts fluttered.

“Uhm…sure. Let me check my bag.” Tea said going back to her desk.

“What happened, you sweat out all of your gel?” Savira asked as she put her machine away and noting its actions in her journal.

“I don't use gel for the last time. If I sweat too much, all of the extra oil in my scalp comes out and it makes my hair fall.” Atemu scowled.

“Yea, yea, whatever midget.”

“I'm not a midget!”

“Whatever…”

Mitzumi: chappy one. I hope you guys like this and sorry, Yami doesn't show up until later. So yea. It's nearly 6 in the morning here so it's time for me to end this. R&R&R.
