Song Of Hope: Things you need to know about me. I'm a huge Christian, and I've never written a Yu-Gi-Oh (!) fanfiction before. Always write in the Romance genre. This takes place in season five, because God knows how many things you can fit into that season without conflictions.

"Bye Grandpa. I'll see you when I get home from school!"

"Have a good day!" Yugi was leaving the game shop and heading to school. He had gotten about half way when he heard someone scream.

"NO! Not my Duel Monster Cards!" Yami came out.

"Someone is in trouble!"

"And it's their Deck and themselves apparently!"

"Let's go!" Yugi transformed into Yami, took his Duel Disk out of his school bag and put it on, and started running to where the screaming had come from. There was a tall guy and a young girl. They were on a street by a river, so there was some railing to keep people from falling into it. He was laughing at her while holding up a Deck.

"Say bye-bye to your Duel Deck!" She looked horrified.

"NO! I beat you fair and square, you can't do this!" She was on the verge of crying, and he laughed even more.

"Yeah, well, too late sister! Your Deck is getting a nice rinse cycle." He threw her cards over the railing. She screamed as he did.

"Dark Magician, GO! Save her Dueling Deck!" Dark Magician cradled his arms and all the cards fell into his arms, and not one fell into the river. The other guy got mad.

"Hey, what do you think you're," he realized who it was. "Yugi Motto!"

"You tried to ruin her Duel Deck just because she beat you! How is that fair?" He just ran away. "Dark Magician, return her cards to her." Dark Magician went over to the girl and held his arms out slightly. Cautious, and unsure what to make of the situation, she grabbed her cards carefully. She smiled and turned to Yami. She had long brown hair with streaks of red and sparkling golden brown/yellow eyes.

"Thank you for saving my Deck. My name is Sara Anne, and I'm new to Domino." Yugi took over again.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yugi Motto." He noticed something about her outfit. "Hey, do you go to Domino High School?"

"Um, I'm starting there today, and I was going there, but I ran into that guy and he said since I was on his "turf" I had to beat him. So when I did, He stole my deck and Duel Disk System. He already threw the Duel Disk in the river though. He was going to throw my Deck in card by card, but then he just threw the whole thing." She sounded like she was going to cry.

"Well, at least your cards are fine. A Duel Disk can be replaced, but the cards hold some of people dearest memories." She smiled.

"Thanks." She realized something. "Um, do you know where the school is? Cause I have no idea." He smiled at her.

"Yeah, just follow me to school. I go to Domino High too." She nodded.

"Okay. Thanks." They started walking to the school. "So, um, Yugi, why did that guy seem scared of you?" He looked bewildered at her.

"I'm the World Champion of Duel Monsters."

"You are? I feel so stupid! We don't have cable TV or Internet service at my house, and I'm not really in the gossip loop seeing as to I have no friends." Yugi's heart went out to the poor girl, but the Pharaoh seemed suspicious of her.

"She just happens to have no friends, no Internet, and no TV? It all seems a bit suspicious."

"Or, maybe her parents are poor and everyone else she knows is rich or has more money and won't hang out with her because of it."

"It's very unlikely to be the case Yugi. And besides she looks slightly familiar."

"Not really."

"Ummm, Yugi, who are you talking to?" He jumped slightly.

"Oh, um, nothing, just thinking out loud."

"Oh, okay." Yugi scowled internally.

"I thought that conversation was in our heads."

"It was Yugi, you started actually talking though." Sara Anne looked relieved.

"Oh. Okay then. I just wanted to make sure you didn't think you were talking to an ancient spirit or something like that. My parents told me that my oh-so-many-greats grandpa did. But everyone thought the spirit was real." She then shut up, with a look that said 'I shouldn't have said that'. "You think he was crazy now, don't you?"

"Um, well, I think that ancient spirits are real." He held his Millennium Puzzle as he said that. She noticed it.

"Isn't it a school policy to not wear jewelry? And why are you wearing it?" He anime fell.

"It's not actually jewelry, it a puzzle. This is what it looks like completed. It's the Millennium Puzzle."

"I've never heard of it." She went out to touch it, but once she got close, a powerful wave sent her flying away. Yugi started yelling at the Pharaoh.

"Pharaoh! What did you do that for? There can't be any harm in just plain touching it, is there?" The Pharaoh gave him a very serious look, which is what he usually wears anyway.

"That wasn't me Yugi. It was the magic of the Puzzle itself. It didn't want her to touch it."

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know. We should keep a close eye on this girl."

"Maybe you're right. But for now, I'm going to help her." He went over to where she had been blown. "Are you alright?" He helped pull her up.

"What was that?"

"I don't know honestly." She looked at her watch, and then freaked out. She picked up Yugi like he was a toy and started running really fast.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, we're going to be late!"

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE SCHOOL IS!"

"I know, but we've gotta get there! I don't want to be late!"

"Well, just keep going forward! The school should just be forward!" She did, dragging Yugi.

After a Few Minutes

Sara Anne wiped her forehead in relief.

"Phew, we made it on time, and with a few minutes left to spare." Yugi rubbed his head.

"Yeah, but not without a few casualties."

"I said I was sorry."

"I'm not trying to be sore about it or anything." Just then, Tea, Joey, and Tristan walked in.

"Hey Yug, who's your new friend here?"

"Hey guys, this is Sara Anne. She's new here." Tea smiled and held out her hand.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Tea Gardner. I knew I would finally make a new female friend." Sara Anne laughed at that and shook Tea's hand.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Sara Anne." Joey pointed his thumbs at himself.

"The name's Joey Wheeler."

"And I'm Tristan Taylor." She smiled brightly.

"It's nice to meet you all." Joey smiled.

"No problem Sara Anne, it's always nice to make a new friend. Although, Tea's friendship speeches can get pretty annoying." Tea got mad at that.

"What did you say?" Everyone else laughed. Sara Anne smiled to herself, not in an evil way, but not in a good way either.

"Now that I've gotten them to make me their friend, I can accomplish what I came here to do."

Song Of Hope: Sorry that it's so short. I'll try to update the next chapter soon.
