Full summary: Kasey and her younger brother Liam Hills move into a new house and find a magic Yu-Gi-Oh card that has the ability to transport a person between our world and the Yu-Gi-Oh world. All you have to do is say a certain rhyme: "I wish, I wish, with all my heart to duel with others in a land apart."
Disclaimers: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh believe me if I did I would have changed a whole lot of things :P
Chapter One: Moving in
The tall white house loomed over Kasey Hills as she gazed up at the abode. Ivy vines snaked their way all over the towering structure. Overgrown weeds had completely taken over the yard, concealing even the walkway leading up to the house. Tall trees, bare of their leaves, hovered menacingly over the white abode and Kasey could see dead brown leaves also littered the entire yard and she had to stifle a groan; Kasey knew she would be the one to rake the leaves and the size of the front yard was immense and she didn't even want to picture the backyard. It would no doubt be a tiresome chore. The previous occupants left in 2005 and the house had remained vacant ever since.
"Kasey, move out of the way for the movers dear!" Mrs. Hills said to her sixteen year-old daughter. Kasey obeyed and stepped aside allowing two burly men carrying a small beige chair to walk past her. Kasey and her family had just moved to Edgewood Town because her father had been promoted. He worked for Utoypia, a company that sold children's toys and goods. Kasey was happy for her dad and all, but it truly did suck that she had to leave behind her friends and boyfriend.
Kasey scowled. Whenever she thought of Ray, she just wanted to explode! Ray had been her first boyfriend and they have dated for three months. Kasey wished they could stay together through a long distance relationship, but fact of the matter was long distance relationships were difficult to maintain. A cool wind blew against Kasey's back, her blonde hair floating lightly in the breeze. Kasey shivered and hugged herself tightly; it was the middle of October and all she had on was a sleeveless pale yellow shirt and a light black jacket that did absolutely nothing against the chilly wind. Her denim jeans protected her legs somewhat but her black flats did nothing to harbor her feet from the cold.
"What are you doing Lazy Kasey?" Her ten year-old brother Liam asked walking up beside her. He pushed his black rimmed glasses up his nose and gazed curiously at his older sister with wide black eyes. He held in his hand a DS Lite and Kasey could see he was currently playing Pokemon something-or-other. His shaggy black hair fell into his face and Liam would constantly shove it away, only to have them fall in place. Her brother wasn't dressed for the weather either wearing nothing but a white T-shirt and blue jeans with black and white converses.
"What did I tell you about calling me that Liam? Or should I start calling you Lia?" Liam scrunched his face and glared at her.
"You can't call me that! Lia is a girl's name; I'm not a girl!"
"Could have fooled me."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Alright enough you two!" Mr. Hills interrupted carrying a large brown box. He adjusted his brown-rimmed glasses glaring squarely at the two siblings. "Grab a box and carry it inside." The two muttered their apologies and obeyed.
Moving the boxes and furniture took about an hour and a half. Once Mr. Hills paid the movers and they departed, Mrs. Hills, Liam and Kasey began unpacking inside.
"I call this room!" Kasey exclaimed running into a fairly large room. The walls were painted a soft pink and the floor was hardwood. At the opposite wall stood a window seat and adjacent to the doorway was a medium-sized closet. Kasey fell in love with the room immediately, for she could imagine how the room would appear with her belongings set up. She went back downstairs to assist with unpacking.
"Mom said to put these boxes in this room," Kasey said kicking the door open. She entered and Liam followed inside. They both stopped in place, their eyes widening. The room was medium-sized and, like the rest of the house the flooring consisted of hardwood. The room only contained a relatively large chest, nothing else. But that wasn't what caught the kids' attention; it was the wallpaper that the siblings concentrated on.
Brown cards that looked eerily familiar to Kasey were painted on a black background. Kasey's blue eyes widened when she recognized the cards from the series Yu-Gi-Oh.
"Whoa," Kasey said placing the box on the ground, "whoever lived in this room must have been a Yu-Gi-Oh fan." Her brother looked at her questioningly.
"Yu-Gi-Oh? What's that?"
"It's an anime series I used to watch all the time when I was your age." She would remember jumping out of bed early in the morning and eating breakfast while watching Yu-Gi-Oh; it was and still is one of her favorite anime. Liam placed his own box on the floor and walked over to the chest and peered closely at it. After observing it for a second, he opened the box. Kasey walked up beside Liam and looked inside. The chest was empty save for one item. Liam reached in and pulled it out.
"Hey, that's—!" Kasey started. Liam held in his hand a Duel Monsters card. He looked at Kasey questionably, his black eyes wide with curiosity.
"What is it Kasey?"
"That's a Duel Monsters card! Duel Monsters is a card game played in the anime Yu-Gi-Oh and was really popular a few years back. Even I used to play the game… that was until I lost my deck at that stupid carnival…." Kasey muttered bitterly. She held out a hand," Could I see it?" Liam complied and handed the card over.
Kasey studied the card. It was a magic card titled Gateway. The image showed a sparkling white grand door with bright light outlining the frame. Kasey looked at its effect and her blue eyes widened.
"What? What is it?" Liam demanded standing on tip toes to see for himself. Kasey made a scoffing sound and shook her head.
"The effect of this card is just plain ridiculous! I don't even think this is a real Yu-Gi-Oh card…." Kasey muttered to herself. She looked over at Liam who had a confused expression. Kasey held up the card. "This is a magic card; every magic card has an effect to assist the user and harm your opponents, but this card's effect… it makes no sense!"
"What does it say?"
"It says," Kasey made another snorting noise, "'I wish, I wish with all my heart, to duel with others in a land apart.'" Liam raised an eyebrow and snorted.
"I may not be familiar with any of this Yu-Gi-Oh stuff, but even I know that doesn't sound right."
"Definitely. And you know, that rhyme actually reminds me of another TV show from my childhood." Kasey murmured to herself peering more closely at the card.
"Kasey!" Liam cried out, his voice filled with terror. Kasey glanced up from the card in time to see the Duel Monster cards on the wall peel and fly straight for them! Kasey let out a shriek and stumbled backward, but she was blocked; the cards on the other side had peeled off too and now surrounded both siblings. Liam grabbed onto Kasey's arm for dear life, his black eyes wide with horror.
"Kasey! What's going on?" he whimpered.
"I-I don't know!" Kasey could only stand and watch as the cards swirled about them increasing in speed until suddenly the two adolescents disappeared.
