[Chapter 1: Welcome to Domino City!]

Dentech City; Hikari household!

"Why must you go?" two male voices asked.

A young girl around the age of 16 was packing a bag of clothes. With a sigh the young girl zipped up the bag she was packing.

"Nee-chan," one of the two males said. "Why must you leave?"

"It's only going to be for a year," the young girl answered.

"Yeah, but..."

The young girl turned around to face the two boys.

"I'm not going that far you two," she told them. "Domino City is only a 2 hour drive from here."

"Kairi!" a female voice called up to her, "are you ready yet?"

"I'll be down in a minute Mom!" Kairi called down before she looked back at the boys. "Lan, I want you to listen to Mom and Dad as well as Megaman." Lan nodded his head as he let out a sigh before Kairi turned to her computer where the other young boy was. "If you need me at all Megaman. You know how to reach me ok."

"Ok Nee-chan," Megaman said with a sigh.

Kairi smiled at them before she grabbed her bag and walked out of her room. As she walked down the stairs Kairi started to put her waist length wavy brown hair up into a ponytail with a red band. If anyone was to look close enough they could tell that her grass green eyes where dull with unseen sadness. Kairi was having a hard leaving her two Brothers behind even though one of them was a NetNavi now, but that didn't change how she felt when it came to them both. When Kairi walked into the joint living room and dinning room she saw two people both brown heads, but one was male and the other female. Both looked at her and they each had a sad smile just as Lan appeared behind his elder Sister.

"Ready Kairi?" the male asked.

"Ready Dad," Kairi answered.

The female walked up to Kairi with tears in her brown eyes.

"Be careful dear," the female said as she hugged the young girl.

"I well Mom," Kairi told her as she returned the hug.

Both women pulled out of the hug before Kairi turned around and hugged Lan who returned it and then she gave him a kiss on the top of his head. Once they let go Kairi walked over to her Father and they both left the house.

Domino High School!

Kairi let out a sigh as she got out of her Father's car that was parked in front of a school before she turned back to get her book bag.

"Come home for the holidays Kairi," he told her.

"Well, do Dad," she told him with a smile.

"Alright, I'm going to go drop off your things at the Apt," he told her. "Be sure to call your Mother after you get settled in."

"I well Dad," Kairi agreed.

"Love you kiddo."

"Love you, too, Dad."

Kairi let out a sigh as she turned back to the building while her Father drove off. She was already dressed in the school's uniform only it wasn't the girl's version, but the boy's version of it. It was centered around a blue blazer opened over a white tight button down school shirt, blue pants, black tennis shoes, two bracelet on left wrist, a golden bracelet that has the eye of RA in the middle on her right wrist, and Hikari family symbol locket hanging from a silver chain, however, she has a black with hints of white and red device attached to her upper left arm.

"Everything well be fine Kai," a voice from her shoulder said.

Kairi looked to her side and then at her shoulder to see a small form of a young girl who has pink chin length hair that was accessorized with a hairband that has two long red strings attention with yellow ends while her bangs covered her forehead, Caucasian colored skin, hot pink colored eyes, and slightly hourglass figure and she was wearing a red, white, and black body suite with some kind of Medellin that has the Hikari family symbol in the middle, red upper arm length gloves that has black figures, and red/white upper thigh length boots.

"I know Kunoichi, but I'm worried about Megaman," Kairi told her before she looked forward again.

"I'm sure Megaman well be fine," Kunoichi stated

Kairi let out a sigh before she walked through the gates and up to the building making a lot of students to stop and stare at her. Some of the girls looked at her with jealousy as the boys got hearts in their eyes and started to drool, well, the rest of the girls got a bit giddy when they realized who she was. By that time a group of 7 where standing by the door when a group of girls next to them started to talk.

"Look it's Kairi Hikari," one of the girls said with excitement as she pointed out Kairi to her friends.

"She's ranked up there with Yugi Mutou and Seto Kaiba right?" another asked.

"Yup," a third answered. "Not only that, but she's the elder Sister of Lan Hikari one of the best NetBattlers along side Chaud Blaze."

"Not to mention that she's also ranked up there with Lan Hikari and Chaud Blaze as a skilled NetBattler," A fourth added.

"She can do anything that comes her way when she puts her mind to it," the last girl added.

"They also say that Lan had an elder Twin Brother who died when he was only 4-years-old and Kairi didn't take it so well," the first girl told her friends. "They say that she would visit him in the hospital till the day he died which was when she ran from the place in tears." The group of 7 looked at each other wondering why their talking about some one. "I feel for her. I mean, she was attached to him and now she majorly overprotective of Lan cause she's afraid she might lose him, too."

Just then Kairi walked up them and into the building making one of the 7 look after her with wide eyes while the group of 5 girls squealed with delight. Just then the bell rung signal that school was about to start making the students all run in and to their classrooms.

Homeroom!

Kairi stood outside the door of the classroom as she waited to be called in hoping beyond hope that she could get through the year without any problems. It wasn't long till the teacher looked out the door, gave her a smile, and told her that she could come inside. Kairi walked into the classroom making the other students to stare at her as she went to stand in the center.

"Alright everyone," the teacher called out. "I would like to introduce your new classmate."

Kairi bowed to them all before she stood up with a smile.

"I'm Kairi Hikari," she told them.

"Why don't you go on ahead and tell us about yourself Kairi?" the teacher asked.

"Alright," Kairi agreed. "Well, for starters I prefer to be call Kai not Kairi, second of all I'm from Dentech City, third of all I'm a NetBattler and a Duelist. I have a younger Brother name Lan and my Dad is the top scientist at Scilab a place they work on NetNavi technology." Kairi took a deep breath before she went on. "I happen to like karate, Judo, boxing, track, art, reading, dueling, NetBattling, night time, dark colors, looking out over the ocean, anime, manga, watching horror movies, sweets, watermelon ponta, cooking, and spicy foods and my dislikes are Jerks, preps, bright colors, day times, all fan clubs, snakes, spiders, heights, and Perverts."

"Very good," the teacher told her with a smile. "Now where to set you?" The teacher looked around the classroom before she noticed a set. "Go on ahead and sit behind Yugi Mutou. Yugi, can you raise your hand, please?"

A young boy with tri-color hair raised his hand into the air so Kairi knew where to sit. Kairi walked over to her sit with movements that belonged on the runway before she took a set behind the young boy.

After School!

It was the end of other school day as Kairi was putting on her tennis shoes as other students talked around her and some where looking at her in confusion. After she finished tying her tennis shoes Jenny moved to walk out of the school building taking notices to the rain.

"Just great," a voice next to her mumbled. "There's rain after school."

Kairi looked over to see that it was one of her classmates Téa Gardner. Just then a young boy also from her class walked up as Kairi went to look at the sky with a glare.

"Téa?"

Téa turned around at the sound of her name to see the young boy looking at her making a smile appear on her face.

"Hey," Téa greeted him as he walked up to her. "How's it going Yugi?"

"Not so great," Yugi answered. "Actually I need your help and so does the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle."

"Oh," she stated in surprise before nodding her head.

"You see, Téa," Yugi started. "Whoever stole the Puzzle seemed to know a lot about it's past and that reminded the spirit how little he knows about it, but you can help. Hanging out with you might help him figure things out."

"Sure," Téa agreed. "But, how exactly am I suppose to do that?"

"You seem to always to have great advice," Yugi told her. "Just talk to him."

Yugi ran out into the rain.

"What's the plan?" Téa called after him.

"10 O'clock tomorrow at Domino Station!" Yugi called back with a wave over his shoulder. "Thanks Téa!"

"No problem," Téa called back, "I just hope I really can help."

Kairi raised an eyebrow before she ran out into the rain hoping to get to her Apt before she got sick.

The next day!

Kairi walked around the city taking the sights and getting use to it along with making sure she knew were things are so that she didn't get lost. Unlike the day before Kairi was wearing a sky blue sleeveless vest outlined in gold opened over a black leather blew chest tank top lined with gold, black tight mini skirt accessorizes with a golden waist band, two bracelet on left wrist, a golden bracelet that has the eye of RA in the middle on her right wrist, the Hikari family symbol locket hanging from a silver chain, and black upper-calf length heel boots that got a look of love sick looks from guys and envy looks from the girls. It was around dusk when Kairi was heading back to her Apt. when Kunoichi appeared on her shoulder.

"Kai, you have an email," she told her.

"Who is it from?" Kairi asked.

"I'm afraid it has no return address and no one signed it," Kunoichi answered.

"Read it," Kairi told her.

"Alright," Kunoichi agreed. "Here's what it says."

'Dear Miss Kairi Hikari,

I would like for you to take part in my Battle City Duel Monster Tournament. To find out more please go to Domino Square for the meet.'

"Is that it?" Kairi asked.

"Yes," Kunoichi answered. "Are you going to go?"

"I'll check it out," Kairi answered before she started towards the square.

Domino Square!

Kairi stood off to the side of a crowd of people just looking at them as they talked to other duelist and some even looked over at her. It was then that she noticed Téa and the boy from her class, but she also saw that he looked different then the other day making her to blink a few times before looking away.

"The Inventions said that the tournament well be announced to night," Téa stated. "Ishizu was right."

"I don't know what she said was true, but I do know this," Yami started. "I must enter and win this tournament in order to full my destiny."

"Just promise me, you'll be carefully Yami 'cause I'm sure there's still danger ahead," Téa told him.

"Yes whose ever after the millennium puzzle is still out there," Yami agreed. "But, you must trust me, Téa this deck has never let me down before. As long as Yugi and I stay connected to one another I am confident we can use this deck to win this tournament and unlock the mystery's of my ancient past and realize our destiny."

"And you count on my help," Téa told him with a smile on her face.

At that moment Yami's eyes roamed the place after they heard some one laughing like an idiot.

{Me: I'm sorry to all you, Marik fans out there, but I had to call him an idiot.}

"Hey!" Téa called. "What's the matter? Is everything ok?"

"Yes Téa," Yami answered her. "It was nothing.

"Hey, Yugi!" another voice called. "There you are!"

They turned to see a young woman with blond hair and wearing leather clothes running up to them.

"It's Mai Valentine," Yami stated.

"Oh joy," Téa said.

"I know you guys missed me!" Mai said to them as she ran up before stopping.

"It's such a sham we don't hang out more often," Téa said.

"Yes it is," Mai agreed before she pulled Téa into a headlock. "You're looking snazzy Téa. Is this a date?"

"We're just friends Mai," Téa told her.

Mai agreed with her in a sarcastic tone.

"I presuming you're here for the tournament?" Yami asked with an annoyed look.

"But of course," Mai answered as she let Téa go. "I presume you two got an invention also?"

"Yes we did, but it didn't say who it was from," Yami answered. "Do you know whose hosting this tournament?"

"I have no idea," Mai answered. "It's a mystery. No one seems to know. Everyone I spoke to got an anomalous inventions, but there is a buzz going around that it's someone with a lot of money and an obnoxious attitude. I guess Kaiba."

"That must be why Ishizu told me to enter," Yami mumbled. "If the events of the past were to happen again. I must face Kaiba in this tournament."

"What are you mumbling about?" Mai asked before shrugging it off. "Anyway no one knows for sure who it is that throwing this thing."

"I suppose we'll find out soon," Yami stated.

"It's pretty safe to say that it's not Pegasus again," Mai pointed out.

"Speaking of Pegasus," Yami realized. "This is starting to look like Duelist Kingdom all over again."

"You can say that again," Mai agreed with him. "There currently a lot of familiar face in this crowd. Most of whom I'm not to happy to see."

"Your right," Téa agreed. "That's Weevil Underwood and Rex Rapter."

"And over there is Espa Roba," Mai pointed out. "They say he uses esp to duel."

Téa did the same thing and her eyes landed on another duelist they saw before.

"It looks like Makos here too," Téa pointed out.

Yami looked over at Kairi for a split second before he turned back to the two girls.

"If what Mai said earlier is correct then this tournament has one new recall," Yami stated.

"And there he is now," Téa pointed out to the other two.

Both Mai and Yami looked at the screen to see a boy with brown hair, Caucasian colored skin, and ice blue colored eyes with a smirk.

"Kaiba," Yami stated.

"Greetings duelist," Kaiba greeted. "Welcome to the town of Domino, but more importantly welcome to my tournament."

"I don't know which is bigger," Mai started. "His ego or his melon on the big screen."

{Me: Lol. I just love that, but don't get me wrong I like Kaiba, however, that was just to funny.}

"Let's hear what Kaiba has to say," Yami told her.

"I see each of you received your privet invention to Kaiba Crops. very inclusive Duel Monster Tournament and that you have enough brains to show up here to night," Kaiba stated. "To see your all elite duelist I added special rules to my tournament just for exports. For example, you well duel using this new and improved duel disk. Another new rule that I designed for the tournament that before each duel both players must put up their rarest card and the loser of the duel forfeits his card to the winner."

"FORFET MY DARK MAGICIAN!" Yami yelled out in surprise.

"That means losing even one duel can ruin my deck," Mai stated in a matter of fact tone.

"Oh hell no," Kairi growled.

"My compaction is going to make Pegasus' and his Duelist Kingdom Tournament look like a joke," Kaiba stated.

Just then the wind started to blow and everyone looked up to see a helicopter and Kaiba.

"Kaiba!" Yami yelled making Kaiba look at him.

'I knew you'd come Yugi,' Kaiba thought, 'we'll see which one of us is the number one duelist.' Kaiba then looked back at the other duelist. "Don't forget to resister and pick up your duel disk because exactly one week from today my Battle City tournament begins."

"Your on Kaiba!" Yami yelled at him.

Téa looked at Yami a bit worried, but he gave her a reassuring smile that made her feel that everything was going to be ok.
