Chapter 15

Yamino and Ra walked down the hallways of Monster High together toward the exit. It was the last day of school, and now they were boarding the train to return home. "Thank you for saving me from my yami," Ra spoke quietly. She nodded. He held out his hand to her. In his hand was the Millennium Ring. Yamino looked at then shook her head. "I cannot take it," she refused.

Ra gazed at her earnestly. "Please Yamino, you are strong, and you can control him. I never want to be possessed again!" Yamino turned on him. "You are strong as well. And if you don't want to be possessed that's your problem! No one can fix that for you. If you defeat that evil spirit then it will leave you alone for good. As for the Millennium Ring you were destined to have it just like Mokuba was destined to have the Millennium Eye and I, the Millennium Puzzle."

Ra looked confused for a moment then smirked. "I figured you'd say something like that." He pushed away his long white hair and tied Millennium Ring back around his neck and smiled. They headed for the exit once again. Ra turned toward her. "Will I see you over the summer?" he asked.

Yamino looked down sadly. "No, I don't think so. I have a lot of resting and research to do." He cocked his head. "Research?" She nodded. "I'm going to use every resource available to man to try and find out what the Millennium Items are and why they were made. With that said I doubt I'll have time for much else." Ra looked straight ahead. "I see."

"However," she drawled. "If you ever need any help just call me at this number." She handed him a slip of paper. Ra's eyes grew wide, and she smiled. "It's my cell phone. I keep with me all the time. If wanna help me research I'll be at Domino City Library."

When Ra went to look at her she was already halfway up the hall. "Come on, if we miss the train I'll have to hotwire another car." Ra grinned, "No way I'll repeat that experience." They ran to the front courtyard (which was still in shambles from the Millennium fight that happened three nights previously) to the train.

They found Amber and Brandon already holding a seat for them. They joked as they rode home, but there was an air of darkness under their conversation. They had all seen what had happened. Yamino had extraordinary powers, and Ra was possessed by a spirit. And they had barely made it out alive. They all knew this was just the beginning. There would be more battles and adversaries. Each would become more deadly than the last.

Amber put her hand on Yamino's shoulder. Yamino looked up surprised. "We will always be there for you. To help you." Amber smiled. "You've got that right," Brandon said grinning. "All the way," Ra agreed. Yamino grinned as she looked at the smiling faces of her friends. "Good," she said. "'cause I've got a feeling worse is coming. So I'll need all my friends around me." They cheered causing kids in the other seats to start.

When they reached the train station they each went their separate ways. Yamino was pestered with questions by her mother on the way home. She just sat back silently in the car. Her father noticed her thoughtful silence and suggested her mother be quiet.

Finally after a year of Shadow Powers, spirits, and games Yamino ran up to her room. She dropped her bag on the floor then jumped on to her bed. She was so tired and was not in the mood to be bothered. However that did not stop her father from entering.

"You haven't said a word since you got home. What happened at school?" Yamino looked up at her father. He didn't need to know. He would just worry. "Nothing." Her father shook his head. "Something happened with the Millennium Puzzle didn't it?" Yamino looked at him surprised.

"I once held the Millennium Puzzle as well remember?" She shrugged at her father. "I gained a certain Shadow Power as well." Yamino sat up in bed. "Did you figure out what and why the Millennium Items are?" Yugi looked down. "Not exactly, and whatever happened at your school I can't help you. Everyone who holds a Millennium Item experiences the power differently. So you will have to figure out your own problems."

Yamino sighed. "I thought as much." Her father smiled and left her alone with her thoughts. She lay back on her bed trying to plan out the summer. The library was where she'd be spending most of her time. She hated research, but if it was Egyptian it couldn't be that bad. She'd really have liked to meet that man, Shadi again. He seemed to know more than he told her. But his response to her questions would most likely be the same as her father's.

Get ready for a stuffy summer filled with boring history books, she told herself. Just then her cell phone rang. She grinned at least I won't be alone. Yamino answered her phone. "Hey Ra. Hold on just a sec."

Yamino ran over to the window and stuffed the phone in her back pocket. She climbed out the window and on to the roof. She pulled out her phone. "Okay, Ra. Tomorrow I'll be at the library at ten o'clock."

Yamino sat on her roof with the moonlight shining on her black hair as the wind blew through it. Through the night she and Ra talked and laughed and made plans. Ra had called the rest of the crew and they were all going to meet at the library, but they would eagerly await their next year at Monster High.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Alright! Yamino's first year at Monster High is over But don't worry she'll be back with her friends in Monster High: The Foreseeing Shadow. I hope the next one will live up to your standards as well. So pleaz go look at the other one and review. Have fun ;).
