Autumn chills brushed the leaves that were scattered upon the ground, Halloween decorations all around Domino City, Japan. Children ran all around the city, admiring the décor of All Hallows Eve. One particular place, the Kame Turtle Game Shop, owned by Solomon Moto, had cobwebs and jack-o-lanterns all around the estate. A group of teenagers moved towards the shop, not noticing a spider above the doorway. As one of them opened the wooden door, the spider dropped down, laughing wickedly in a mechanical voice. One of the teens, a blonde with chocolate brown eyes, jumped back in fear as the spider moved back up to the doorframe, the smile still planted upon the black fabric. The blonde shook his fist in anger as an old man, dressed in green overalls and a grey shirt beneath it, stepped out of the shop, grinning from ear to ear.

"So, Joseph," the man laughed as the blonde pushed him back, growling. "Did you like my joke?" Joseph, or Joey, growled again, clenching his fist. The teen next to him, who had ebony/crimson, spiked hair with blonde bangs and indigo eyes looked up at the older man.

"C'mon, Grandpa," he smiled. "You know how Joey is with Halloween decorations." Joey glared at his friend, his eyes flashing angrily.

"Yugi, you should be taking my side here!" he shouted at the shorter teen. Another of the group, who looked like Yugi, but was taller, stepped forward, placing a hand onto Joey Wheeler's chest.

"Enough," he whispered darkly as Joey stepped backward, his fists still clenched in anger at Solomon's cruel joke. "I'm sure that he didn't mean any harm to you, Joey. It was just a joke for Halloween." The blonde lowered his tensed arms as the growling stopped. Yugi looked up at his friends as a yell broke the brief silence of autumn.

"Hey, guys!" their American friend, Kairi Lumina, cried out, clutching a piece of paper in her left hand. "We've been invited to a Halloween party that's hosted by Kaiba! Bakura and Ryou are even going to come!" Joey dropped dead at his feet after hearing the name "Kaiba".

"Rich Boy is inviting us to a party?" he cried out, grasping his head in confusion. "Why would he do that?" The others shrugged and shook their heads as they entered the game shop, the spider dropping down onto Joey's head once more. He screamed, and raced into the shop, grabbing onto the couch's armrest, quivering in fear.

Far off, high above the city, a figure stood on the high skyscraper that overlooked the city. Its face was shrouded in shadows, but all that showed was a white mask on the right side of its face. Its black cape billowed in the autumn winds as a cold smile crossed its face.

"Soon, the Angel of Music shall strike the unsuspecting citizens of this city," it chuckled darkly. A piece of paper was clutched in its hand, appearing to be an invitation. "And I know just where to start…" It leapt off of the skyscraper, and landed on the ground with ease. Turning its head in the direction of the Kaiba Mansion, it ran off, laughing wickedly.

Who could the figure be, and could it have something to do with Kaiba's party? Find out in chapter two!
