ok, this is my very first story, so i'd appreciate feedback, even if it's to tell me i suck. anyways... it's a yugioh fic, but there isn't much about the real characters in the first few chapters, it's more about me and my yami. don't worry, there will be actual yugi and co. stuff in the plot later on, but this is really my yami's fic, introducing her, so yeah. her name is kiminaya, just so you know, and mine is amitashi.
disclaimer: grrr... what if i don't want to? there's nothing to do with yugioh in this chappie, but just to be on the safe side... I DON'T OWN YUGIOH! make the guys in white coats go away! i didn't do it!

*Chapter One*
Kiminaya paused for a moment around a corner, slightly out of breath. "Damn," she thought, "I need to work out more." Reaching down, she gripped the throwing dagger from where it was hidden underneath black jeans and a long black trench coat, topped by a sleeveless black tank top, before brushing the strands of dark brown hair that had escaped her hairclips out of her eyes. Another throwing dagger graced her red belt; she kept extras all over so she wouldn't be caught unawares. She kept her eyes down, listening hard for the signs of pursuit she knew would come eventually. She ran fast, but not that fast.
It never failed. She allowed herself a slight smile as three men wearing flowing white robes came tearing around the corner, paying no heed to discretion where needed. She straightened as they came nearer, judging perfectly the exact moment to stand, and let fly the dagger, hitting the man square in throat. He dropped with a choking sound, but she had no time for celebration. Running forward to meet the remaining two, she ducked as one took a heavy swing at her, then jumped, high, and kicked him in the head. He went down just as the last man, in desperation, took out his own knife and attacked. She hadn't expected that; these people's orders, she knew, were to take her alive. Nevertheless, whipping out the dagger from it's holder in her belt, she made quick work of him, spinning around so as to give him less of a target while she quickly slashed it across his face. He screamed in agony and dropped his knife, and fell with a thud to the ground. Contemptuously, she walked over to where he lay and wiped her blade on his robe. She wouldn't kill this one; he had disobeyed his orders, and his master's torture would be much worse than anything she could do to him.
"No," she said scornfully, seeing the fear in his eyes, "I don't want to get it bloody again just for scum like you. You tell your master I said that, won't you? And just remind him for me, I don't like when dirty street rats attack me. Tell him not to insult me by sending you untrained idiots; if he's trying to kill me, take me prisoner or whatever, at least send decent people to do it. I'm getting out of shape." With that, she turned and walked away. She knew her words wouldn't do any good; they never did. He would keep after her until the day she died. Or he died, whichever came first. Personally, she hoped it would be him, but she had discovered that things seldom worked out the way she wanted them to; she had learned to deal with her fate long, long ago.
Pacing over to retrieve her other dagger, she saw that the first man was dead already, and the second out cold; she left him to deal with his master on his failure. At least he'd have company, she thought, smiling wryly. As she cleaned her blades and stowed them back where they belonged, she heard a timid voice seemingly from nowhere.
:Are you finished yet, Kimi?: it asked. :I'm getting tired of this dark
room. You know how I hate it.:
"Yes, Ami," she replied, amused. "At least he only sent three this time, or I would still be working on those guys. You can come out now; I'm just about ready for some time alone." Out of a thin sheath she kept hidden under her coat, she drew forth a sword, golden, with ancient symbols written on it. She closed her eyes and disappeared in a flash of light.
