A/N: This is my first fanfic! This first chapter isn't the best, but the duels will begin next chapter. Until then, meet Leiko Barnu, my OC! The story's going to revolve around him more than Yami or Kaiba, but those two will be in here! Please R&R! No flames, please!
Disclaimer: I do not own YuGiOh or the characters, except for the OCs.
Chapter 1-Entering the Tournament
It was an extremely dark room.
"Millennium Scales, give me light."
A brilliant glow came from a pair of golden scales. They illuminated a young boy in a wheelchair. He had long, brown hair, and brilliant blue eyes.
His wheelchair rested at a desk, which had the scales, 4 facedown Duel Monsters cards, and a black laptop on it.
The boy, who had pale skin, so he probably didn't get out much, started the laptop and began to surf the Web.
"Come on," he muttered under his breath. "I've always searched the Internet, but I've never found what I'm looking for."
After 2 hours, he was about to give up, when a certain website caught his eye.
He double-clicked the link, and what he had been searching for finally appeared.
SETO KAIBA'S NEW DEUL TOURNAMENT! BATTLE CITY TOURNAMENT!
He read the rules of the tournament, and grinned. This was perfect, he could use this tournament to become King of Duelists, and some things that were going to happen wouldn't surprise him.
After all, his Millennium Scales had judged how some things were going to happen.
The master of the Millennium Necklace, Ishizu Ishtar, would have given Seto the Obelisk the Tormenter Card, while the master of the Millennium Rod, Marik Ishtar, will have stolen the other two Egyptian God Cards, but he would lose his Slypher the Sky Dragon Card to the master of the Millennium Puzzle, Yugi Moto.
Little did any of them know, that Leiko Barnu, master of the Millennium Scales, would be joining the tournament as well.
He would also be joining with the only four cards he had. He would have to win a Monster Reborn first, but once he had one, he would take on Seto Kaiba and win.
Leiko rolled his wheelchair out from under his desk, and opened the desk's top drawer.
He pulled out a silver tray, which he attached to his wheelchair. After he placed the Millennium Scales, the laptop, and his four cards, now in a deck, on the tray, he pulled out a cell phone and called someone on the speed dial.
"Bornadu," he said, once the butler on the other end picked up. "I'm going out for a while. Meet me at the front door, with my wallet with 30,000 from my bank account."
As he put away his cell phone and wheeled his way to the front door of his house, he admitted to himself that while living in one of the richest families in the country meant he was pampered a lot, it did have its perks.

The storekeeper looked up as his shop door opened.
"Ah, hello there," he said to the pale young man in a wheelchair who had just entered the room. "What can I do for you?"
"You register duelists for the Battle City Tournament here don't you?" asked the young man. The tray in front of him held some very odd things. A laptop, a very small deck, and a giant set of scales.
"Why, yes, I do. Are you interested in joining?" After the youth nodded, the storekeeper turned his computer on. "Your name?"
"Leiko Barnu."
After entering the name, the storekeeper shook his head. "I'm sorry," he said, "but you aren't a registered duelist. I can't let you enter."
The youth reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. As he rifled through it he said, "Alright. Register me as a five-star duelist whose rarest card," he carelessly flipped the card on top of his puny deck, "is Sanga of the Thunder. Do this, and 10,000 will be yours."
The storekeeper gaped at the money the boy had pulled out. He immediately made changes to his computer, registering the boy as requested.
The storekeeper pulled a Duel Disk System from the shelf behind him, handed it to the boy and received the 10 grand.
"Say," said the boy, "could I use your computer to check something?"
The storekeeper looked from his computer, to the boy, to the boy's laptop, when the boy said, "I'll give you another ten grand."
The storekeeper shrugged and moved his computer towards the boy.
Leiko grinned and looked at the computer screen.
He clicked 'search for new duelist'.
He filled out the duelist summary.
Name: Unknown
Duelist rating: Unknown
Rarest Card: Monster Reborn
He waited a few minutes until the computer finished searching the registered duelists.
When it was finished there was only one duelist. A 2-star level duelist named Caradi Samura.
"This Caradi," the boy began, "does he come often?"
"Every day," the storekeeper answered. "He keeps asking to be registered into the tournament, but he only has two stars, so I can't let him in."
"Register him into the tournament, and I'll give a third 10 grand," said Leiko, as he handed over the second 10 grand.
The storekeeper changed his computer to say that Caradi had thee stars. Leiko grinned and handed over the last of his money.
As Leiko wheeled out the door, the storekeeper quickly called his boss, Marik Ishtar.
"Sir, the boy with the Sanga of the Thunder Card just left."

Leiko had a special tool on his wheelchair. It allowed him to go to any location, without having to work, because it also made the wheelchair move on its own.
So, as Leiko zoomed along in his wheelchair, he heard somebody shout, "HEY, KID, STOP!"
Leiko turned off the wheelchair, and looked around. In an instant, he was surrounded by a bunch of robed men.
"So, kid," said one of them, "what say we have a duel?"
"I have a better idea," said Leiko. He grabbed the Millennium Scales and held them up. "I condemn you all to the Shadow Realm for eternity!"
Darkness enveloped all but one of the robed men, and they vanished into the darkness.
"YOU!" shouted Leiko. "I know what you are. You're a Rare Hunter. Return to your master and tell him, 'the master of the Millennium Scales has joined the fight.' Go."
"He won't need to," the Rare Hunter suddenly said. "This servant is my mind slave. I just saw everything that happened through him."
"Marik," snarled Leiko. "You're sick."
"Me? You just condemned all of my other servants to the shadow realm. But I assure you, Leiko, we will duel in the coming tournament. Mark my words, we will."
Leiko watched as the presence of Marik left the Rare Hunter, and the Hunter collapsed.
Leiko growled, then turned on his wheelchair's device, which sort of resembled a GPS. He selected 'Continue to Last Destination' and let the wheelchair finish taking him home.
A/N: Love it? Hate it? Let me know if you want it to continue! Please don't flame me about how it took two hours to find that website!
