Fates Encounter (YuGiOh fanfic)
Chapter 1
"Well, that's pretty much the tour. Here's the key to your rooms." A young male, possibly in his early twenties, tossed a pair of keys to two other young men. The shorter man had white hair, looked about albino, had brown eyes and wore a pair of jeans. The slightly taller of the two had sandy blonde hair, tanned skin and violet eyes. He was wearing jeans, a dark blue shirt and a black leather jacket. They both were carrying bags. The blonde haired man caught the keys and smiled. "Thank you." The guide nodded and pointed to a bulletin board. "Schedules are posted there as well as up-coming events and so on. This dorm is shared between both sexes, so be gentle with the ladies." The guide chucked to his own joke while the blonde and albino both sweat dropped. "Uh, thanks. I'm sure we'll be fine." The albino took one of the keys from his blonde friend and examined their door.
"Tch, I don't trust those guys, Kev." A brute sounding voice came from behind the two new males. He was dressed in what looked to be a mix of a cowboy and biker. Bad combination. His clothes were also stained with oil and grease. "Gail, did you find her yet?" The guide, Kevin, asked the biker/cowboy. Gail gruffed in response. "She sure knows how to run fast. And she's the one who took on the job to fix the engine from scratch! How the hell did she get done so fast?! That's a two-day job! She got done in 15 minutes!" Kevin sighed happily. "That's because she knows how to fix motorcycles and the like, unlike a certain someone who just makes it worse. I told you, you've been using the wrong oil." Gail growled at the male and turned back to the newbies. "So, you're the Motou kid's friends?"
The blonde sweat dropped. "Don't tell me Joey told everyone and it got this far?" He sighed and shook his head. "What my friend means is, yes. We're the friends of Yugi Motou. It's nice to meet you. I'm Ryou Bakura and this is Marik Ishtar." He motioned to the blonde. "Tch, you think moving to New York is going to change your status in the world? Everyone knows about your relationship with the King of Games." Gail looked the two boys dead in the eye. "Don't think just because you're famous you can get to them first! The Honeydew and Pirate belong to the Rough House. If I see either of you with those two, you can guarantee a life of college Hell." He turned away, grabbing Kevin by his collar, and dragged him outside, closing the door behind them. "What was that about?" Marik blinked in confusion. "Are we really famous?" Ryou frowned.
"Took them long enough! I thought they'd never leave!" "I told you. It's official. You have your very own stalker. Congrats, Jewel." Two female voices came from the nearby corner. "Ohhh don't jinx me, Cara! So mean…" The two boys looked at each other, then turned around to find two girls, one with short dark hair and greens eyes wearing an oil stained shirt and ripped jeans, the other with long platinum hair pulled into a bun and dark blue eyes wearing a green turtle neck and a long dark skirt. The dark haired girl walked over to the boys and smiled. "Hi! Welcome to the Big Apple. I'm Jewel and this is Cara. We're your neighbors." She pointed to the door next to theirs. "Don't worry, we don't bite." Cara said, walking up to join the group. "She, however, can be a bit…eccentric." She pointed to Jewel. "I am not!" She pouted. "Heh." Marik chuckled and tilted his head. "I assume you're the one that brute was talking about?" Jewel frowned and groaned. "Unfortunately." She looked up at him. "Do me a favor and don't call me 'Honeydew'…please?" She blushed a little. "Do I even have to ask why they named you that?" He sweat dropped.
Cara looked at Jewel and smirked. "Her breasts, obviously. She's 'blessed' as that gang likes to call it." She rolled her eyes. Marik 'examined' Jewel quickly and tried to focus his attention on her eyes instead. Jewel giggled. "I do what I can to hide what I've been 'blessed' with." Her grin grew as Marik looked away, embarrassed. "Then the pirate is?" Ryou pointed to Cara. She nodded. She took out a set of black keys with a skull keychain and jiggled them in the air. "Is that…?" Ryou blinked, confused. She nodded, giggling. "Cara is a whiz at stealing. They're going to be looking all night for their dorm keys. It'll give us plenty of time for ourselves." Jewel grinned and leaned on the boy's door. "So, what brings you two here?" "We came from Japan to continue our education. I'm majoring in occult studies and Marik is going into engineering." Ryou answered. "Huh. We have the same classes then." Cara smiled. "I'm studying a little of occult but majoring in appraising. Jewel is great with engineering. She thinks of it as a puzzle. She loves new things." Marik looked at Jewel and leaned against the wall.
"Gail said something about you working on an engine?" Jewel beamed and nodded. "Done in 15 minutes and still had plenty of time to work on 5 others, hee hee." Marik grinned. "Nice. Maybe you can help me out with my bike?" Jewel blinked. "You mean that sweat silver one out in front?" He nodded. "Piece of cake! But how about payment?" Jewel tilted her head. "Payment? Uhh." He looked to Ryou. "How about the café down the street?" Cara looked at Jewel with a knowing grin. Jewel returned it with a giggle. "Meet us there at 7 tonight and I'll take that as payment. You guys look like you'll need a friend." Jewel accepted immediately, bouncing off of their door and taking her own key to open her's and Cara's room. "W-wait you mean?" Ryou studdered. "Heh, it's a date, boys. You didn't think New York was gonna be easy, did you? Trust me, befriending us will do you good." Cara winked at Ryou then entered her own room. "And don't listen to what Gail said." Jewel mentioned, poking her head out. "He's scary, but I can take him." She waved then slipped back into her room, closing and locking the door. The two boys looked to each other and sighed. "What have we gotten ourselves into?"
