Enjoy!
Letting out a long sigh I sat back in my seat and crossed my arms, go to Japan, he says. I thought growling softly to myself. Your destiny begins there. I closed my eyes and looked out the window.
"That arrogant Kaiba," one of the guys growled, Joey I believe his name was, "The nerve of that guy, doing that to you Yugi."
"I don't think Seto it going to be much of a problem anymore; no one's seen him since he lost to Yugi," Tea said and I looked over, interested.
Seto? It couldn't be, could it? I thought narrowing my eyes, Kaiba.
"The Seto Kaiba," I asked softly and they looked over at me.
"Yea, he owns Kaiba Corp. don't you know that?" Tristan asked and I looked away thinking. It couldn't be. I was about to stand and leave with the teacher got our attention.
"Class, I would like to introduce a new student." Our teacher started and my eyes remained at the window, I didn't really care about this new student at all. "I would like you all to meet, Ryu Bakura." My eyes moved towards the front of the class to see a white haired boy standing there with a soft smile on his face.
My eyes narrowed on him, and I saw a faint discolored aura around him. He has a millennium item, just like… my thoughts trailed off as I looked over at Yugi Moto, a small, pointy tri-colored haired boy who was a great duelist. As I thought on, Ryu had already started talking to Yugi's group and I remained still in the back of the room, watching them.
After a while, Ryu looked back towards me and seemed disturbed for a second, but moved towards me with a smile. He stopped at my desk and I looked up at him, quiet and still.
"Hello, I don't believe I've met you yet." He said offering his hand and I smiled softly grabbing my stuff and walking out of the classroom.
"Whoa, she's never done that to anyone." Joey said as the group walked up to him.
"Don't worry about her too much, she's very picky to who she talks too." Tea added.
I left the school hallways and sat out in the courtyard looking over the recreation fields and sighed softly. The bells rung for the end of the day about an hour later and I remained still until most of the other people had left.
I looked over at the corner of my eye to see Ryu standing there and stood upright. "I know who you are." He said, in a different voice then previously. I looked over at him and watched him walk by me, "meet me at my apartment tomorrow." He finished walking away and I narrowed my eyes on him.
I walked home, stopping briefly on one of the main streets pausing. I looked down the street to the largest building in town, Kaiba Corp. For a moment, I hesitated walking towards it, going right in and up to this Kaiba, but stopped. What would I do; what would I say, what if it wasn't him? Growling I stepped into the street and a car came around the corner slamming on its brakes, it was a limo and I hissed.
"Watch where you're going Baka," I shouted raising a fist.
"Why don't you watch where you're walking," a voice growled as the limo sped past me and I gasped looking at it as it drove off. That voice was familiar, I knew it, and I saw the KC logo on the limo and growled.
"Just my imagination," I said to myself, walking home and then sat by my desk staring at my deck of cards. They were face-down, but still, I stared at them. Why did he want to see me? And what was up with him? The first time I met him, he was so innocent, but the second time, he was full of hate, and darkness. I closed my eyes and stood grabbing my deck. Oh well, I guess I will find out tomorrow.
I went into my room and fell asleep staring at the ceiling. I woke up late the next day and let out a long sigh, I had no intention of going to school, so I decided to skip. Standing, showering, and dressing, I grabbed the deck of cards and walked out the house towards his apartment complex. Once inside, I walked around until I found the door that had his last name on it. Knocking, I waited only a few moments before the door opened and allowed me to enter.
I walked inside and shut the door behind me looking directly at him. "You gave my light the same cold shoulder you gave me when we first met."
"We've met?" I asked crossing my arms and he nodded softly.
"The prophecies are true then, if you don't remember your ancient past." He said moving into his spare room, where a table top game was set up and I followed.
"You and my father both talk of the ancient past. Tell me, who are you?"
"I am Ryu Bakura, that was my name in the past, and it is my name now. Five millennia have passed since I was locked away."
"In the Millennium ring, I'm assuming." My eyes narrowed on him, "and have you called me here to challenge me for my item?"
"So, you know of my item, I should've assumed as much. And, no, I cannot win your item. Even if I were to collect it, I would not be able to use it. Your item is more, refined then the rest."
"So I was told." I grumbled, "Then why call me here?"
"You and I were so close in the past, and I was unsure if you had remembered me at all; remembered the Tomb Raider."
"No, I do not know anything from that era, nor do I know anything about my true self. My father told me to move to Japan, that it was here I would learn everything I needed too."
"Your adopted father; or your real father?" he asked and I hissed slightly.
"How do you know so much about me?"
He shrugged and began messing around with a few of the pieces on the board, "it's no matter how I know so much." There was a knocking on the door a few moments later and I growled softly. "Those must be my other guests." He walked past me and I waited a long few moments before Yugi and the others showed up.
I looked at everyone and forced a fake smile, "Aura, are you here to play as well?" Yugi asked and I looked over at Bakura.
"No Yugi." I said and turned towards Bakura, "and whatever you are planning, you will fail at. The destinies in this room are longer and more important than whatever transpires here." I turned and left the room. Walking home I remained agitated and annoyed, I knew nothing of my ancient past, nor of the powers my item had, and how had that arrogant boy know so much about me?
Once home, I saw a package at my doorstep and picked it up going inside. Sitting on my couch, I placed the box on the ground in front of me and opened it up. Inside, there were five small gold chips in shapes of stars, a black glove with a metal ring around the wrist. On the oversized ring, there were thirty slots to fit thirty of the gold stars. I set all of it on the table, and then finally at the very bottom, was a cd.
I placed it in my DVD, and sat back on my couch. A man appeared, in a red suit, his long white hair hanging just past his shoulders and covering his right side of his face. Something was strangely familiar about him, but I couldn't figure out what.
"Hello Aura." I growled softly again, how did everyone know me? "You may not know me, or remember me, but I know you all too well. You and your mother were very close to me, and in such, I would like to extend a personal invitation to you for Duelist Kingdom, where only the best of the best will compete to be known as the king of games. Inside the box, there are a list of instructions and rules of the game. I hope to see you there." The video cut off and I grabbed the letter, on the very top it said 'watch video first.'
I opened it up and it read:
You are personally invited to the Duelist Kingdom tournament starting this weekend, and ending when a winner is claimed or you have lost all your star chips. You must claim ten star chips by winning duels set around the area.
It then went into random rules and stuff I didn't care about.
Also, Aura, you are invited to dinner Friday evening at the castle on duelist kingdom. There is a helicopter that will pick you up 4pm sharp on the pier.
Glancing up at the clock, I noticed it was already three-thirty. Sighing, I grabbed my deck, threw some random stuff into my backpack and opened a door to see a guy in a suit standing there just about ready to knock on the door.
"Excuse the rudeness ma'am, but I was sent here to bring you to the pier." He said and I looked past him to see a limo sitting there. Shrugging I shut the door and locked it then followed him to the car. Driving to the pier I watched the city pass and finally I walked to the helicopter and was flown to the island.
As we were flying over, I saw random dueling arenas set up on a very large island, and a castle set up right in the middle. We landed just outside of the castle and I stood upright looking around. Walking past the first set of doors, locking out the courtyard, and the long stretch of walkway to the main gates, I stopped and looked down.
There was something too eerie about this place, something too familiar, and something not right. A guy walked up to me and I looked up at him.
"I am glad to see you made it well here, please if you would follow me this way, my master awaits." He said and I nodded following him inside. He led me down a long series of hallways and to a door, opening it for me and allowing me to enter first. I saw the long beautiful table and room, and then glanced around to see two men, both who I knew. One was Maxamillion Pegasus, the owner and creator of the card game, and the man in the video. I had never met him personally, but I had known who he was, and he somehow, knew me. The other was Shadi; my adopted father and mentor, someone who I didn't necessarily hate, but not someone I liked. Someone, that, when he needed to go away put me in an orphanage whenever he was gone for a couple years at a time.
My hand tightened on the strap of my backpack as I stared at Shadi. "Kemo, take her backpack please and put it in her room." I handed it off and moved into the room as the door shut and left the three of us alone.
"Go to Japan?" I grumbled softly, "nothing has happened, so far it was just as bad as living in Egypt."
"Things have just started in motion, you must be patient." Shadi said standing.
"You couldn't have told me who I was." I crossed my arms and looked over at Pegasus, "thank you for the personal invite sir, but I don't duel anymore."
"You have a deck." Pegasus said, "a very strong one at that, you have a World Champion title under your belt, granted under a stage name, why do you not duel?"
My eyes crossed with Shadi's and I sat down letting out a long drawn out sigh, "because, weird things happen."
"We've been over this; it's because of your item."
"Yea; well I never asked for it, I never wanted anything to do with your ancient stories and future predictions. I never wanted this item, and I don't want any part of it." They were both silent and looking at one another, "this is the wrong time to argue about this again. Why are you here anyway?"
"Because, Pegasus needs to tell you something, but he felt it better if I were here as well." He said and I sat upright looking at both of them.
"Shadi adopted you for a reason," Pegasus started, "you are the reincarnation of the ancient princess of the nameless Pharaoh, you are the only one who can control and wield the powers of the Millennium Moon. You needed training and to know the history of the Pharaoh, and in order to do that, you needed to be with the keeper of the items. Shadi adopted you because he was the sole guardian."
"Yes, I know all of this but what does this have anything to do with you?" I asked him and the two looked at one another then back at me.
"Because, I adopted you, from him," Shadi said and my face went pale.
"I am your biological father, and your mother was my late wife, Cecilia." Silence filled the room and I stood slowly, shaking my head.
