Cadence Jody sat quietly outside her front door like she did every day since her mother had left for America where she was originally born. The soft driving from an occasional car was very peaceful in her mind. She sat calmly against her door, looking over the city. It was a cool and crisp morning in Domino City, leaving Cadence to think clearly for once. The moisture in her breath made a small cloud each time she exhaled between each thought.
She sighed, fixing her black baseball cap happily waiting for the bus to come to take her to Domino High. Her new pink and blue high-school uniform seemed odd to her considering she never wore a skirt and allays thought of them as annoying and untrusting.
"Cadence, are you still out there? You're going to get sick on the first day of school." Her father's booming voice was heard from the kitchen of her house.
"'Kay. Dad, I'm going to get a head start." She called back, slipping her feet in her new school loafers. She frowned at the sight of the pink shirt, sticking her tongue out childishly at the uniform. "I should have asked for the guys uniform..."
"Alright, but remember to be back at 5:00 tonight." She walked inside her house. Her father sat in his suit sipping coffee and eating breakfast. Her father was a businessman that worked for Kaiba Corp. He never really had time for her, but she enjoyred her alone time none the less. Cadence snatched her brief case from the dinning room table, stuffing in some forgotten papers. Having a brief case was odd for her, considering that in America no one used brief cases, only back packs.
"Waah, my paper's won't fit." She cried angrily, thrusting the folders further into it. Father rolled his eyes impatiently, taking another sip from his coffee cup.
"Thats why you need to be more organized. And I think your outfit is cute don't you."
"No..."
"Why?"
"Its cold out side..."
"So?"
"My ass is freezing..." She stated coldly, rubbing her bottom roughly. Her father chuckled trying not to spit up coffee. Cadence had always been the odd ball of the family; She never got along with the girls her age and always wanted to hang out with the boys. Her father wondered if she would ever get married. The honking of the bus bond for Domino high echoed heavily through her house. "Dammit! I'm late! See ya later Pops!"
"Alright be safe."

Steam fogged up the window of the bus that Cadence was sitting in that brisk morning as she headed to her first day n High school, being one of the only people with a seat she felt quite special. She yawned, lifting her hand to cover her mouth when she noticed that some girls around her age were also wearing the same hideously pink uniform as herself.
They sat next to each other, as usual girl's do, applying lip sick and make up to each other for the first day of school so that the boy's would notice them.
Cadence groaned silently at the over bearing girls, turning her head back to the window. It wasn't that she didn't like the girls, it was just the thought of putting on irritating makeup that was making her grown. She didn't like the feeling of looking like someone she wasn't.
"So did you hear that our school is getting a new student."
"Yeah! I here its a guy! I hope he's cute!"
"Totally!"
"I wonder what their looks of disappointment will be like when they see me. Maybe I should just dress like a guy. After all I do act like one. Yes, that will be a fun plan." She snickered; this would be a great time to practice her acting skills. The bus came to a slow halt in front of the school; Cadence quickly got off and headed for the girls bathroom to change before people saw her. She looked both ways to make sure no one was coming, and then walked inside with a smirk on her face.
Cadence had packed a bag with a change of cloths for after school when she would play basketball outside later on. She tugged hard on the baggy black shirt and jeans, pulling them out and smiling happily. She was an A-cup so it would be easy to conceal her close to blooming breasts, although she did wish they were a bit bigger, like all girls. She quickly changed into her normal out fit in one of the stalls.
"That aught to do it…"
She heard the door open and two girls walked in chattering away, one brunette and one blonde, both wearing that uniform.
"Did you see the new guy yet? I hear he's cute!"
"What he is a she...Then what will we do?"
"Oh c'mon Jess. An American coming to a Japanese school has to be a guy. It would seem weird to send a girl. And besides, I saw him help bring furniture in to his house when he moved in."
' Ah, no wonder I felt like I was being stalked...weirdo.' Cadence thought, pressing her ear against the stall door, trying to balance on the toilet seat so that her feet could not be seen. She peeked through the crack in the door; it was two Japanese girls. They both wore the tiny mini skirt and pink jacket Cadence originally had to ware, but she changed. They had been talking for five minutes now, and her legs were getting tired and were shaking slightly. It was only a matter of time before they would give out.
"Dammit...go already--AAH!" Cadence's foot slipped on the toilet seat, causing her to sit in the gross and germ water. As she fell, her foot rammed against the door that had a very loose lock and made it slam open. The two girl's stop and stared at her with a very questionable look.
'Great…my cover's blown. So much for my plan.' Cadence sighed, sitting up from the water and getting ready to explain her current situation, it wasn't like people were going to actually believe her.
"Wow! He's so cute!"
"Wha-?"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Oi! He's so cute! I hope he talks to me!"
"No way, he has to talk to me first just to make sure he's a good person."
"Nuh uh you just want him to your self!"
Cadence sat laid back in her chair to the desk, trying to play the bad boy. It was getting pretty exciting for her first day of school. She had dressed like a guy in America, but every on knew that she were a girl, and considered very tomboyish. Here in this school they were very much more gullible, and didn't see through her little charade.
The girls Cadence had met earlier on accident introduced them selves as Tea and Jess. Tea was the brunet and Jess the blonde, both very girly and obnoxious. She didn't care that Jess had been blushing around her and Tea was obviously trying to flirt with Cadence as well, but she decided to play along.
"So, what's your name new guy?" Tea asked flirtatiously, flapping her eyelashes sickeningly. Jess was blushing madly now when Cadence glanced over in her direction for a split second.
"Cadence Jody." She answered bluntly, looking over on the chalkboard and trying to read the characters written on it.
' If things get weird I'll leave.' She thought her self, trying to ignore the faints and fawns of the other schoolgirls. Some of the guys in the classroom where glaring at her evilly, looking over their shoulders and such, but one boy just sat in the corner looking out the window silently. Thinking to himself. He had tri-color hair that was red, black and yellow. Cadence found her self-staring as the words from the girls' mouths turned to dribble.
"Cadence-kun? Are you alright?" Tea's loud voice startled her, making her jump in her seat. The boy she was staring at looked over in Cadence's direction, she turned your head quickly to avoid his gaze.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just zoned out."
"Aw! Cute and with a sense of humor!" The girls squealed and hugged Cadence around the shoulders, making her jump slightly at the puncturing if her personal space bubble. Startled, she pushed them of slightly and stood to her feet. The girl's stared at her slightly, not sure what was wrong.
"Uh…Class is going to start. Shouldn't we get to our seats?" Cadence stuttered, sitting back down in her seat stiffly. Class was going to start soon and some of the students were walking in from the hall.
"Hey, is the new kid here!" A loud blonde with brown eyes yelled out in the classroom, startling the girls, along with Cadence.
"Shut up Joey! You scared Cadence-kun!" Jess shouted angrily, trying to hide her blush. The blonde picked at his ear uncaring, looking down at the new girl with an odd expression. He pulled up a chair backward, leaning on the back of it. He stared into her hazel eyes for a couple seconds, then a large smile spread across his face.
"Nice to meet cha! Im Joey Wheeler and welcome to Japan new kid. Your names Cadence right?" He asked in his odd New Yorker accent, this confused the girl because she was in Japan and not in the states. She nodded, smiling sweetly. The girls blushed oddly along with Joey. He was cute in Cadence's eyes, but seemed more of a friend. Tea shoved Joey's Seat over, knocking him on the ground.
"Go away, your probably cramping Cadences style!" Jess screamed, sitting on the desk in front of the girl now regretting what she had done. She twitched as she tried to act cutesy in front of her. "If you ever need anything, Cadence-Kun, dont be afraid to ask."
Cadence felt the throw up from her stomach enter her mouth when Jess winked at her. Joey rubbed his head angrily, sitting up on the floor.
"Hah, It seems the puppy is on the floor where he belongs."
Cadence recognized that voice from the voice-mails her father gets from work. It was Seto Kaiba, owner of Kaiba corp. and the employer of her father. She had met only once, but she figured he had no clue that she was, not like he ever cared. The tri- haired boy stood from his desk, helping Joey keep his balance. The girl set her chair up right, staring into the cold blue eyes of the infamous Seto Kaiba. He stared back for a split second, then went back to sit in his seat.
"Joey, are you okay?" The odd haired color boy asked quietly, trying not to make eye contact with Cadence.
"Yeah, Yugi, Im fine." Joey's nostrils flared angrily at Kaiba, who was reading an American novel which Cadence recognized as part if the Twilight series. Cadence held in her slight laugh, and looked away. He was not one who would suspect read about vampires. The newly named Yugi nodded happily, sitting back in his seat and looking back out the window.
"Joey, Yugi? Are you in here?" A brown haired bow with a spike in his hair barged through the door panting.
"Hey Tristan, I though we lost you?" Joey said in a smart-ass tone. Cadence giggled, covering her mouth quickly as the lighter began to bubble to the surface. The classes' eyes were locked on her, watching intently. She coughed, trying to make it look like she needed water. Kaiba's eyes flared in her direction. He knew some thing was up.
'Where Have I seen him before?'
