Okay, I want something made very clear. Ogenki, Mars, Kao, and Darth, along with some other characters not in this chapter, are mine. But Yu-Gi-Oh and the concept of my characters ARE NOT MINE. Oh, and Sailor Kirby is mine because she is me, though I don't own Sailor Moon, either.

Ogenki's eyes darted about the room. Filled with more than two hundred girls lined neatly in rows, only four of them would be chosen by the senior magician to be an apprentice. She fidgeted, nervous. Next to her, one of her best friends, Mars, poked her sharply in the side.



"Stop that, Ogenki," the tall seventeen-year-old redhead commanded, "They wouldn't dare not choose you. You've got more potential than any of the losers in this room." The people in the rows within hearing range glared. Except for Kao, Ogenki's other best friend, who was too high-strung to hear or notice anything. But suddenly she let out a yelp, and the room's doors opened. The Senior Magician, second only to the Dark Sage and Dark Chaos Mage, came in. Ogenki remembered faintly being told that his name was Darth. Wordless, he cast a glance around the room. Although he had been told none of their names, he had kept close tabs on all the girls during the month of conditioning camp. It all came down to this. He strode up to a girl in the front row, shook her hand, and she left the row to stand by the door. He went up to Kao next, and she let out an ''eep" at his touch before staggering towards the door. Kao was just nervous that way. He went back two rows and stood in front of Mars. He shook her hand.

"My name is Darth. Congratulations." With that, he pointed to the door and Mars walked confidently in that direction. Darth turned to Ogenki, who had started fidgeting again. He studied her for a moment.

"My name is Darth, Ogenki. Congratulations." Ogenki didn't even wonder why he used her name as she commanded her shaky fifteen-year-old legs to stumble towards the door.

Author's Note: Hello! Sailor Kirby here! This is my first attempt at a Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic. You see, I have a problem. I CAN'T WRITE FANFICS. Seriously, I'll end up making it my own thing. So if you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them, if you love it, I'd love to hear it, but if you hate it, I DON'T WANNA HEAR! Don't like it, don't read it, though there's a lot more to come so you may like it later. And I like having readers… my sister refuses to read half my stuff… Anyway, I hope you did like it. Sorry not a lot happened.
