First Yu-gi-Oh fanfic! This one also revolves around an OC that I have created, that's kinda my thing. Our story begins during Season 2, Episode 5, NOW DISCLAIMER!

Disclaimer: Yugioh is the property of Kazuki Takahashi, and I'm not him, so I don't own it...neither does Ammypaint, but she does own her oc's…

EDIT: I have edited and revised the story a little, thought not terrible much. What I did was make some changes to Nhetsukah's character as I said I would, she's mellowed down more (if that was possible). Also some other small tweaks with how she talks and what not.

Chapter 1

"Haha, yeah!" Shouted Joey as he help up his new duel disc, Yugi joined in, "Battle City Tournament here we come!" but the exclamation was cut short when a girl walked into the store, she had lightish brown hair in a ponytail with her bangs moved from her eyes, she wore a white tank top with a khaki jacket and a golden ankh around her neck, and olive cargo shorts, she paid no heed to Yugi and his friends and went straight to the front desk.

"I'm here to pick up my duel disc." She told the clerk.

"All right, name please?" the clerk asked.

"Nhetsukah Herriot."

"Ah, yes! You're a four star duelist and your rarest card is Amarok, here's your brand new Battle City Kaiba-Corp duel disc."

"Thank you." Nhetsukah took the box and headed for the door.

"Dat's some name ya got dere!" Joey told her, she turned around to Joey.

"Thanks," she said, "Are you guys in Battle City too?"

"You bet!" Joey said, "And me and Yug are gonna go straight ta da top!"

Nhetsukah's eyes widened with interest, "Yug, as in Yugi Moto?" She asked.

"Yep, that's me!" Said Yugi with a smile.

Nhetsukah smiled also, "I should've known the King of Games would be here."

"And me!" Joey said.

Nhetsukah looked at him blankly, "I'm sorry; I don't think I know you."

"WHAT? I'm Joey Wheeler! Ya know, runner up in Duelist Kingdom?"

Nhetsukah thought for a moment, "...Sounds familiar." She then looked at Joey and Yugi, "I'm afraid I have to go."

"All right then!" Joey said, "We'll see yah tomorrow at da tournament!"

Nhetsukah cracked a smile, then left the shop.

Time Skip to Episode 7, "Battle City begins"

"Don't be so sure, my brand new Fortress Whale card is much mightier than your Two-headed King Rex!" Mako Tsunami told Rex Raptor.

Weevil Underwood smiled confidently, "Well I have a monster far superior to my Great Moth! But don't think I'll tell you what it is!"

Mako grabbed Weevil and shook him, "Maybe I can just shake it out of you, Weevil!"

Mai and Yugi sighed, "Some duelists never change..." Mai said.

"Hey Yugi!" Yugi turned around and saw Nhetsukah running up with a dog at her side, duel disc on arm, "Hey, Nhetsukah." Yugi greeted with a smile, then he looked over at the dog, "I didn't know you had a dog." The dog simply wagged his tail and kept on panting happily, "Yep, this is Kunai!" Yugi reached out to pet him, Kunai was a little shaggy looking, definitely a mutt, but certainly had some shepherd in him. "What kind of dog is he?" Yugi asked.

"He's a German shepherd-jackal mix."

"Wow!"

"What an adorable doggy!" Mai said as she petted...patted...pet? Never mind, as she SCRATCHED Kunai on the head, she then looked at Nhetsukah, "Did you say you're Nhetsukah?"

"Yes."

"Ah! So you're the 'up and coming' duelist." Mai said. Nhetsukah blushed sheepishly, "Yeah, that's me..." Mai turned to Yugi, "Rumor has it she showed up out of nowhere, and with a bang!" then she turned back to Nhetsukah, "Don't tell me you already qualified to enter Battle City?" Nhetsukah's eyes lit up, "You bet!"

"Don't get your hopes too high, my dear." Weevil told her, "I'm going to be the champion of this tournament, but maybe I'll take you on a date after I win!"

"Dream on, Weevil!" Rex said, "She's way out of your league." Then he looked at Nhetsukah, "How'd you like to go on a date with a real duelist?" Nhetsukah looked at both boys, "Sorry, but I'm turning you both down."

"WHAT?" Rex and Weevil shouted in unison, "What, you think you're too for good us?" Rex challenged.

"I'm not looking for a date." Nhetsukah said.

Weevil put his fist up, "Is there some other guy?!"

"There's no way he could stand up to my deadly dinos!" Rex chimed in.

"I didn't say there was another guy!" Nhetsukah fumbled, blushing.

"I hope you duel better than you lie, or else you'll never make it to the finals!" Mai said with a smile.

"He's a good friend, and for the record," She looked over at Rex and Weevil, "he's a better duelist than me."

"You might even say he's the 'King'!" Mai suggested with a wink. Yugi's face turned red, "S-so where did you learn how to duel?" He asked Nhetsukah in an attempt to change the subject.

"I got my first lessons from my dad in Egypt."

"No way!" Yugi exclaimed, "You've been to Egypt?"

"I've been to a lot of places, I'm from Egypt."

"Yeah right!" Rex scoffed. "You don't even look Egyptian!" Weevil said.

Nhetsukah shrank a little, "Well, I'm…I'm not full Egyptian, I'm only half."

"Only half doesn't count!" Weevil sneered.

Nhetsukah frowned, but didn't say anything. Weevil had obviously stricken a sensitive area.

Mai attempted to change the subject, "So you said you've been to alot of places?" she asked, stepping between her and Weevil. Nhetsukah looked at Mai and away from Weevil, "Yep, and Domino's the latest, I moved here about a month ago."

"So where are you from?"

"Well before here we lived in India."

"Wow!"

"Yeah that must've been awesome!" Yugi chimed in, "Do you travel around the world?"

"Actually," Nhetsukah said, "I move around the world" There was the slightest hint of bitterness in her tone, "My aunt works for a photography company and she goes wherever they tell her too, and when she goes, I have to too."

"But isn't fun to see so many different places?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah, but it gets old, I only spend a few months in one place," Nhetsukah said with a down tone, but then her eyes lit up, "but on the up side, I have a serious cook book!"

"I know how that feels, kiddo." Mai said.

"I'm hoping to get back home someday." Nyikani said wistfully.

"So where's home?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah," Mai jumped in, "If you move as much as you say, where is home?"

"I could go to every major stop and city in the world, Egypt will always be home." Nhetsukah said with finality.

"I hope you get there someday!" Yugi told her. Nhetsukah smiled, then Mai broke in, "I hate to break this little love-fest, but I'm heading out. Don't forget, the next time we meet we're rivals!" Then she walked off. Nhetsukah looked at Yugi, "I think I'll follow her lead and start hunting! Bye, Yugi, come on Kunai!" Again a quick smile and she was gone.

So that's that, not much to say about it. So anyway how will this OC do in the Battle City tournament, can she fend for herself against the unknown Rare Hunters and their dark leader? You'll just have to keep reading to find out! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Read and review please!

Bakura: Again little to no incentive.

Ammypaint: Don't ruin my fun!

Sooooo? Did you notice the tiny insignificant tweaks? After I took a step back and studied the character I was writing about, I decided that she came off as a little too strong or agressive, the idea of her even thinking about hitting someone or giving off this confident vibe just didn't fit her, so I changed it! But I hope you readers didn't get the wrong impression. One of Nhetsukah's flaws is that, in fact, she's a wimp! But that's why I love her, she's just a total softy with no mean bone in her body. This character was actually created as almost a mirror image of Nyikani of my Avatar stories, if that sheds any light on why Nhetsukah's character is like that. But I think I'm starting to ramble, read and review please! Again!
