-Begin Dream-

Madoka woke up to a pure white room that she swore that her eyes were blinded the moment she opened them before getting up and she saw Amy on the bed as the cat walked out.

"Amy! Come back!" Madoka yelled for the cat as she opened the door from the room she was in and ran after her furry friend. "Amy!" She called out as the cat ran into another room with the eye of Horus staring at her.

She stepped inside the dark room as sharp chills and goosebumps ran through her entire body.

"A-Amy? Are you in here?" She asked quietly as a figure held in Amy in his arms as the cat purred under the rubs from the figure before leaping into Madoka's arms.

"U-Um, thanks for finding Amy." She said shyly to the person before the door slammed shut in front of her and Amy as the fire lit up in the room to give her sight of the room.

"Do you want to play a game?" Madoka turned around to see the figure as she gasped and backed into the doors as the figure walked up to her.

"A-A game?!" She shouted as he held her chin in his hand. She got a good look of him.

Crimson eyes staring into her gentle pink eyes, wild star-like hair almost like Yugi's but the difference was that some blonde strands were up while Yugi didn't have any up.

He looked older and mature while Yugi was small and child-like. "W-Who are you?!" She asked as she felt his thumb stroking her bottom lip. "I do not have a name, but to make it easy, call me 'Yami'." He said as their lips nearly touched before the sound of an alarm clock woke her up.

-End dream-

Madoka reaches up and slaps the alarm clock before blinking her tired eyes and Yugi up and ready for school as she got up. "It was all a dream?" She questioned herself as Amy meowed to Madoka.

"Ack!! We're gonna be late!!" Madoka shrieked before rushing to get changed while Yugi was in the bathroom brushing his teeth and Madoka changed into her new uniform.

Right. In front. Of Yugi.

Yugi tried his best not to look at her while she got ready and she didn't notice him before tying her blue tie on and examined herself in the mirror.

That's when she noticed Yugi.

"Eeek!! I'm sorry Yugi!! I didn't know!!" She squealed as she blushed a bright red before heading down with him with a piece of toast in her mouth after she brushed her teeth.

She ran all the way to school with Yugi on her tail and the moment she stepped into the school grounds, Joey and Tristan were there and saw the pinkette in her new uniform.

"Ne, Mado-Mado, looking nice in that uniform." Joey jokes as the wind picked up and her skirt went up to show her panties as Yugi held the skirt down which disappointed Joey as Tristan smacked the back of his head.

"Show some respect for her!! She just transferred last week!!" Tristan hissed as Madoka nervously laughed before entering the classroom.

'Finally, classroom.' She mentally sighed as she yawned a bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kyu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Madoka-Chan!! Join us for lunch!!" A girl called out as Madoka brought out her sketchbook, which was her old notebook from Mitakihara.

"I would like to, but I'd just be awkward around a conversation, I'm sorry maybe another time." She kindly turned the offer down as the girl nodded and walked with her other friends.

"Finally, peace and quiet." She said as she opened her lunch box and ate in silence before Yugi came by and ate with her before taking a look at the draw she did.

"Is that me? Nice." He said as she looked down and thought back to the dream. 'Well, he did look like Yugi. But why did he try to kiss me? Something about him seems familiar...' she snapped out of her thoughts as Yugi saw her spacing off.

"You alright? You looked pale for a minute." He said as she was about to speak but a knock silenced her.

They both looked to see Ushio looking at them as chills ran through their bodies, nothing about Ushio is good.

It couldn't be him, surely what Madoka had said yesterday had been enough to get him off their back, she told him that everything was alright and that his 'investigation' wasn't necessary why did he have to bother them again.

How Madoka wished that she had taken up that girl's offer to hang out with her outside than stay inside the classroom to eat.

"Could I have a moment with you two?" Madoka couldn't say no, she was afraid to say no, she wondered what he would do if she had said no.

"Of course." Yugi replied as Madoka began to put away the sketchbook of drawings that she had laid out on her desk, still refusing to look up at Ushio in fear of how she might react to actually seeing him rather than just listening to his voice.

When Yugi and Madoka finally stood up from their seats when she finished putting all the art supplies away, Madoka kept her head down, focusing on Ushio's shoes rather than his face.

As they walked through the school, both Yugi and Madoka could hear the mumbles of the students that saw them together, thinking that the new girl or Yugi had finally gotten in trouble for the way that he dressed or how his hair was styled.

All Yugi wanted to do was run back into the safety of the classroom or sprint off to find Anzu knowing that she would stand up for them.

"What did you want to show us Ushio?"

Yugi asked the older and taller teen as she was lead away until they reached the back of the school, far away from prying eyes.

As they had travelled, Yugi had tried his best to remain at least 10 steps away from Ushio at all times just in case he planned to do something to him and Madoka, however that turned out to be much harder to keep up than she anticipated as the older teen would constantly stop and wait for her to catch up to him.

"Just follow me, I know you'll both like it." Ushio told her as they rounded a corner and came across a sight that sent a shiver of fear down both Madoka's and Yugi's spine.

"Joey! Tristan! What happened to you!" Madoak shouted as she ran forward towards the two friends who were slumped against the school wall, every inch of their skin littered with bruises and cuts.

Joey's left cheek appeared to be swollen while Tristan's face was covered in blood which Yugi assumed had originated from getting a broken nose.

As Madoka dropped to her knees beside them she began to think about how broken and damaged the pair looked, their bodies black and blue as they leaned against each other as a means to support another.

"I told you I would investigate, you two." Ushio spoke behind them although Yugi and Madoka paid little mind to his words, too busy looking over Joey's and Tristan's injuries; looking out for anything else broken or bleeding badly.

Why couldn't Ushio have just left them alone, they never asked for this; this was too much of a punishment for simply tugging on Yugi's hair or throwing around his puzzle box.

"I found that you were being bullied so I decided to teach those bullies a lesson. One they would never forget!"

Something inside Madoka snapped as she stood up and slapped Ushio in the face.

Yugi, Joey and Tristan were shocked. No one slapped Ushio except the cheerleaders.

Just as she was going to turn around, she felt the wall collide with her back as the wind was knocked out of her lungs before she blacked out.

"You little bitch!! Even though you're new around here, I should go easy." Ushio growled as he held the collar of her uniform.

Yugi felt really angry, and his puzzle was burning hot like it was angry as well. Ushio tossed the unconscious Madoka next to Joey and Tristan as blood pooled from her split lip.

"Either way you both still have to pay me for opening up the investigation, I think 200,000 yen should cover it."

"200,000 yen!" Yugi shouted in shock.
He didn't have that kind of money laying around and he didn't think his Grandpa would either, not that he would tell him about what had gone on today; not wanting to worry him.

Yugi only knew one person with that kind of money who would be happy to give him it no questions asked or request for him to pay him back but Yugi refused to ask him for money. "I didn't ask you to do this why should I pay you."

Big mistake.

The moment those words left this mouth, Yugi felt like his gut had a huge hole full of pain as Ushio punched him. Yugi held in the bile that threatened to leave his gut as Ushio walked away.

"Bring the money tomorrow or the girl gets it." Ushio said as he held the knife he had hidden up to Madoka's throat as he held her by the pigtail and dropped her harshly before Joey picked her up.

'What will I do?' Yugi thought as he picked up the unconscious Madoka and helped Joey and Tristan up to the nurses before being Madoka home.

As Yugi walked home, he didn't notice a certain blonde tornado pigtailed girl looking at him and Madoka before her eyes widened in terror as she saw Madoka.
