Yu-GI-Oh: Fight for Infinity

Chapter One: Duel Monsters?

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Domino City as a young boy named John Robinson was preparing for his first day at Domino High. John was a kind hearted young man with a sense of humor and moral. He put on a black sleeveless shirt and on top of it his compulsory blue school blazer. He quickly scarfed down his breakfast and was soon on his way. The only thought that ran through his head during that long walk to school was whether or not he would fit in. Eventually he reached his destination and before he knew it he was outside his new classroom. He stood there with beads of sweat running down his forehead and began to play nervously with his fingers. Suddenly the icy tension and anxiety was broken by the door sliding open and a woman poking her head out and saying.

"Oh hello... John is it? You may come in now."

John gulped and nervously entered the class.

"Children please take your seats!" she announced loudly as kids shuffled and moved into their assigned places.

"Now we have a new student joining us today. Come on up and introduce yourself please."

John moved hesitantly and felt every eye in the room fall upon him. As he faced the entire class he saw some boys snickering at him and some girls quietly whispering and giggling to themselves. His teeth began to chatter and his legs felt like jelly unable to support his weight. He tried to speak but no words seemed to form in his head until his eyes met those of a girl sitting in the first row, her amber eyes fixed upon him. She stared at him for a moment before smiling at him. However this smile was very different from ones he was getting from across the room, it wasn't smug but warm and inviting. It gave John the confidence boost he needed, or so he thought.

"HI! MY NAME IS JOHN! NICE TO MEET YOU ALL!" He exclaimed loudly.

All the kids burst into laughter. The teacher sighed and said

"Children that's very rude, now please be quiet"

Then the teacher directed John to a vacant seat and asked him to sit down. The walk seemed endless as people snickered and jeered at him. He sat down quietly and put his head down on his desk as the teacher began her lecture.

"Waitta go John five seconds and your already a laughing stalk" he thought to himself as he tried to pay attention to the teacher.

After three monotonous periods it was finally lunch time. John sat alone on a table in the corner of the cafeteria. He grimaced as he sat there playing with his food, chasing vegetables around his plate with a fork. His gloomy state of being was suddenly disrupted by a soft voice.

"Hi, there may I sit next to you?"

John whipped his head around to see the same girl he saw earlier. He felt his palms get sweaty and murmured softly.

"S-Sure b-be my g-guest"

She giggled softly and sat next to him. He instantly detected the smell of strawberries and cherries radiating from her hair. He blushed lightly and began to shovel food into his mouth to refrain from saying something stupid. They awkwardly sat like that for a few minutes before she broke the silence.

"My name is Rose by the way, Rose Stinson"

John tried to respond, however he had not realized that his mouth was full of rice at the time. He began to choke momentarily and took a big gulp of water. Rose looked at him with concern to which he smiled nervously back at her before saying.

"My name is John Robinson"

"Yeah I know who you are. You were so loud the whole school could hear you"

She giggled as John looked down and blushed. Just then a boy with black spiked hair and a tattered, long blazer abruptly sat in front of them.

"Hey Sam, what's up?" Rose exclaimed.

Sam replied with a soft 'Hi'.

"Meet my new friend John" she said while tugging on John's arm.
Sam merely glanced at him and rolled his eyes after which he pulled out a book and got lost within its contents. John quietly whispered to Rose.

"Did I offend him or something?"

"Of course not that's just Sam he's always like that. Infect I think he likes you." Rose replied.

For the first time today John actually laughed.

"So is he like your boyfriend or something?" John inquired.

"WHAT!" The whole cafeteria fell silent and everyone including Sam had their eyes fixed upon her. She looked around and began to laugh nervously while rubbing the back of her head. Everyone then resumed eating and Sam went back to his book.

"Are you crazy! Of course not! We just duel together."

"Duel? You mean with swords and stuff?" John asked slightly puzzled.

"No silly! Duel as in Duel Monsters" she replied.

"Duel what?"

"Are you kidding me? You don't know what duel monsters is?" she asked bewildered.

John just shook his head.

"Well-" she was cut off by the sound of the bell.

"Darn it! I need to get to class but how about you meet me in the park in front of school. Say 5 o'clock?"

"Yeah sure!" he said excitedly.

"Ok then. I can tell you more about dueling and we can get to know each other better. See ya later!" she winked at him and left.

John blushed yet again and got lost in a daydream about him and Rose frolicking in the park which came to an abrupt halt. Sam had just stood up and slammed his book shut causing John to snap back to reality. As Sam began to leave John nervously called after him.

"N-Nice meeting you. Catch ya later?" Sam turned his head and simply nodded and continued on his way.

Before John knew it the school had come to an end. As he walked back home he began to think of the two friends that he had made today. Sam was for lack of a better a word cool, there was just something about him. Rose on the other hand, well she was something else. Long fiery red hair, gorgeous eyes in fact everything about her was just amazing. The fear he had a few hours earlier now seemed non-existent. He fitted in, he belonged.

"That wasn't a total disaster. Although I wonder what that duel monsters thingy is all about. I guess i'll have to wait till 5 o'clock to find out" John thought to himself as he climbed the stairs of his apartment.
