Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joey backed away a bit and looked shocked. "S-sister!? You never had a sister before! Why didn't you tell me?!" he said in a scared shocked (and funny) tone. He then stood normal and looked at Onyx, "So that's your name? Onyx? Well nice to meet you too!" he said with a smile but no longer flirted with her. "Yay, me and Yugi are best friends, right buddy?" he said nudging him with his elbow playfully. He then looked at his watch and said, "Well Yug, start explaining things as we walk to school." He then looked at Onyx and asked, "Why are you in that uniform? You don't have our uniform yet?" Joey was full of questions.

Akiko ran as she tried to open her package of pop-tarts. "Come on! Give me your sweet s'more sugar!" she pouted at the package as she could not get it open and run at the same time. She got frustrated and stopped, she just ran with it in her hand. She was almost near the Kame Game Shop, she could see it in the distance.

Seto sat properly in his seat as the limo headed toward the school. His mansion was kind of far from it- good thing he had a ride to bring there. Even if he wanted to walk (and why would he?) it would be too far and take too long. He looked out the window for a while. He passed Yugi's house, he could see his rival and his stupid friend. But who was the other person with them? A girl? They already passed them and the house- Seto didn't get a good look. Oh well, just another one of his stupid friends. Even if she wasn't aquanted with Yugi or that mutt, she was just another person. No bother to him. The only people that mattered to him with himself and Mokuba.

Joey chuckled to himself and rubbed his head a bit. "Sorry 'bout that. I just got excited! I kinda like your outfit too, better colors then ours," he said. He looked at Yugi and raplied, "Oh wow, so your not even completely sure. Well, what matters is that she is here now right?" He smiled, always looking at the bright side of things.

Akiko could see three people in front of her- two of them wearing the same type of uniform as her. The short boy was the one from yesterday. Now what was she going to do? Sure, she wanted to meet people, but she was so nervous. And she would have to pass them, what should she do? She was so nervous that she stumbled on her own feet and fell to the ground. "Oof!" was the only thing that left her mouth.

Joey heard something behind them, he turned to see a girl on the ground. "H-hey. Are you ok? Did..... did you just fall?" he asked her.

Akiko looked up to see the blonde kid ask her a question. She blushed from embarrassment as she started to lift herself up. "N-no! I didn't!" she debated childishly, though it was obvious she did. Now she was nervous and embarrassed.

Seto's limo stopped in front of the school. He was early as usual. Good thing, he thought he was going to be late. He walked to his class room, he and a few students were there. He took his seat and began reading quietly.

Akiko sat up then stood up, brushing herself up. She nodded her head timidly followed with a small, "Uh huh." She looked at the ground though, horribly embarrassed. When she heard the other girl ask if she would like to walk with them, she looked up at her briefly and smiled. But she brought her head back down and replied, "Ok."

Joey turned to walk the other way with his friend to school. He looked over his shoulder to Akiko and said, "So are you new or something? Never seen you before." He then looked back at Onyx and said, "Heh, see? Now you got somebody else with ya who is new here."

Akiko kept behind them as they walked, feeling displaced much like Onyx, though she didn't know it. She looked up at Joey and said, "Uh, yea.... I moved here recently." They were almost to the school now, she could see it in the distance.

Joey walked with Yugi to his class since that was his own as well. "Hey, maybe, your sis will be in the same class as us huh?" he said smiling a bit. They entered into their room to see most of the other students there. However, one student caught his eye. Kaiba. That cocky b*****d of a student. Geez, so he has his own business- so what. So he is one of the richest people in the world with a successful business- all at a young age. Big deal- he was still a jerk. His face displayed how he felt about him.

Seto looked up to see more of the other students have come in. He looked at the door to see both Yugi and Joey entering in. He narrowed his eyes and scowled at the two. Yugi was his rival after all. And Joey, he was just an annoying mutt. He smirked, seeing Joey was obviously annoyed already by him. He smirked deviously then went back to reading. It was fun playing this mental screw game with the mutt.

Akiko had to also go to the office to get her scheduel. Oh, no matter where she was placed it would be all new to her. She stood behind Onyx, letting her get her schedual before herself.

Akiko nodded as Onyx wished her a nice day. "Oh, thank you. You too," she said giving a small wave as she left. After asking for her schedual and getting a print out, she headed toward her class too. Little did she know, it was Onyx, Yugi, and Joey's class.

"Yes, be a good mutt and sit down," Seto provoked Joey seeing a perfect oppritunity.

Joey first smiled at Yugi- he was such a good friend. However, he glared back at Seto when he heard his insult. "What was that money bags!" he shouted at him.

Before anymore could go on between the two teens, the teacher stepped in. "Wheeler, please keep your voice down," she instructed. "Everyone else, please sit down. Thank you. Today, we have new students entering our class. When they get here, we'll start class," she said as she walked back to the door and waited for them. When she saw Onyx she said, "Hello, are you our new student?" The teacher seemed very nice, a woman who was probably a mother. She seemed to be in her late 30's- she also looked pretty good for her age. Though she was conservative, nothing like Ms. Chono.

Joey pouted and sat in his seat. When he heard there were new students in their class, he leaned over to Yugi and whispered, "Maybe your sister is the new student."

Seto smirked and went back to reading.

"Heh, I guess I'll be good," Joey said smirking a bit. Joey was such a good guy, and a goofball. He's really loosened up since him and Yugi became friends a long time ago. "Hey what's that?" he asked but wasn't able to get an answer as the teacher came back in.

Akiko watched as Onyx bowed to the teacher and she did the same. She wasn't so used to these Japanese traditions as everyone else was. "Yes, um, my name is Akiko Koten" she said as well.

She bowed to the both of them and said, "Nice to meet you two. Now why don't we introduce you to the class?" She walked in and waited for the two of them to follow her.

Akiko started to follow her but stopped at the door. She peeked in, seeing nobody in particular- just seeing there were a lot of students. She gulped and backed away. She looked at Onyx, "You can go first..... if you want," she said really nervous about going in first.

Ughhhh, Akiko hated doing these things! To stand up in front of strangers and present yourself was just so, nerveracking! What would she say? She glanced at Onyx and woundered who Yugi was. The people she walked with didn't state their names [at least I don't think XP] so she wasn't sure who her brother was. Was it one of them? She kinda looked like the shorter one, she wasn't sure. She looked at the ground too, hating doing this. "Ummm, my name's Akiko Koten. And um.... I dunno, I moved here from America, but was born in Okinawa. I'm Japanese though.... yea so....." she mumbled off the ending. God that was stupid! Why didn't she say something cooler? Like that she played guitar or something? Oh well, what's done is done. She stayed red in the face and gave no one eye contact.

Seto looked up when the teacher came into the room. He looked like a good student, proper and such. It looked like he was paying attention, but he wasn't. He was doing mental math in his head with statistics of his company. His company was much more important then this place. He watched as two girls came in. However, his attention was caught when the first girl said she was Yugi's sister. He raised an eyebrow to himself. Since when did Motou have a sister? He put his hands to his mouth and smirked behind it. If he ever wanted to get to his rival, he now had another outlet. He also couldn't help but wonder, how was her dueling skills, if she even had any.

Joey smiled when he saw that not only Onyx was the new student, but that other chick was too. Both seemed pretty nerveracked- kinda funny though he felt a little bad. None-the-less funny.

"Ok, please take a seat where ever you like and we'll begin class," she said allowing the girls to sit anywhere.

Akiko stuck her head down and darted to the back of the classroom. She was in the same column as Yugi and Joey, but she was all the way back where they were in the front. She sighed as she sat.

[[Fast forwarding to rescess ^___^]]

Akiko payed very close attension to her classes- vigorously taking notes. The bell rang and the teacher left. Other students where packing up- taking their lunches and, she guessed, going to the lunch room or outside. She saw some kids having lunch in the classroom itself- but only a few. She would probably stay here, she wouldn't have to worry about trying to sit with people at a lunch table. She went to get her lunch out- she had a chicken salad sandwhich, a bottle of water, and a small bowl of rice. She kept her eyes down on her desk, too shy to talk to anyone.

Joey, on the otherhand, didn't pay attention at all. In fact, he put his head down and slept. He was still sleeping when the bell rang and people were leaving.

Seto made it look like he was paying attention- though he wrote no notes down. He already knew this material. Deep down, he was bored completely. Finally. The bell rang. He would never buy food from that slop kitchen. Like most people, he brought food from home. However, it was only a little bit. He didn't really eat a lot- he didn't have a big stomach. As he packed his books away, he watched Onyx.
