Prologue
-Year 1999-
"Daddy! Can we PLEASE visit the jewelry store?" a little girl around the age of 11 begged. Her pale blue eyes shown with anticipation and happiness; she had two spiky pigtails around her shining blonde head.
A man around his late 30s chucked. "All right Diana, let's go. But we need to go home soon. Your mother and sisters will be getting worried."
"STEP-mom, and STEP-sisters." The little girl corrected haughtily.
The man, also know as Dr. Summers, knew better then to pick a fight with his stubborn hard-headed daughter, he just laughed heartily at the comment and they went inside.
When they got in, a young looking woman kindly assisted them with their shopping. She showed them necklace after necklace, and bracelet after bracelet. Finally, they decided to head home, with their bags bulging.
"Daddy? Doesn't Washington have the best shopping malls?"
"Yes honey, they do." He replied airily, he was distracted by a mass of people running towards… somewhere…
Finally, Diana noticed the commotion too, and before she could say anything, they were interrupted by a loud-
BOOM!
Diana shrieked and ran for cover behind her dad. They could see smoke rising from a building and multiple gunshots could be heard, followed by a loud painful bloodcurdling scream.
Suddenly, at the top of the floors, a little girl, about the same age as Diana, she even resembled her. She had blonde hair and green eyes widened with fear, "SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE! SOMEONE SAVE ME AND MY MOMMY AND DADDY!"
"DADDY!" Diana whimpered, "There's a girl up there, and she's in the fire! SAVE HER!"
Dr. Summers wasted no time. He was no fire fighter, but he knew when there was a child in danger, he must do everything in his power to save her. He dashed into the building and climbed up the stairs. The smoke was already spreading out…
But just as he reached the top floor; the scenery made his blood run cold.
On the top of the floor; were two bodies, they were drenched in each other's blood. The female's corpse was detached from the rest of the body. The little girl that had been screaming for help, held a gun in her hand, pointing to another man. Mr. Summers had a feeling the man and woman had been the girl's parent.
"I HATE YOU!" The little girl yelled as her fingers started pulling on the trigger. "YOU KILLED MY MOMMY AND DADDY!"
"Wait" the man began, he had a look of fear in his eyes, "You don't unde-"
The little girl pulled the trigger… and the man fell to the floor.
Dead.
Mr. Summers gaped at the scene, suddenly; he felt a pair of arms grab his leg. He cringed, and saw it was the man that supposedly was the little girls dad whispered hoarsely to him, "Please… take care of my daughter… please… I beg you…."
And the man slumped dead.
"DADDY!" The little girl screamed as she broke down into sobs, "WHY!"
Soon, the flames started spreading faster and faster; Mr. Summers grabbed the little girl and they ran down the building as fast as they could… the little girls pounded on the man's back.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! I WANT DADDY!"
But it was too late… just as they escaped… the building collapsed around them…
"Mom? Dad?" the girl called out hopefully. "Come out…"
They never did.

Chapter 1:
NORMAL LIFE
-YEAR 2005-
17-year-old Diana looked out the window with a sad sigh. It's been almost 6 years, since the little girl's tragic accident. Her name was DJ Rei Kamiya. Every since that night; DJ barely ever showed interest in anything… her soul died that night.
Diana was waiting for her dad to come home from work as she drummed impatiently on the windowsill.
Mr. Summers was began to work more and more and she was stuck with her disgusting step-mom and stepsisters. She at least had her best friend DJ, but that wasn't much good since recently, DJ has always been doing something or other in her room and avoiding her.
She sighed but immediately perked up as she saw her father's limo arrive. She ran down the steps and opened the door to run into her father's arms.
"Daddy! I'm glad you are home. DJ won't come out of her room. You have to do something about your stepdaughters. They have been on DJ's case all day long. They won't leave her alone." Diana emphasized the word "Step-daughters" as if it were a disgusting swearword.
Mr. Summers raised an eyebrow and said "Oh I see. Let me talk to them and hopefully they will stop tormenting DJ. I wonder what they're up to now. I do wish they would stop teasing her. They just don't understand that DJ is a sweet girl. Your step-sisters just don't like her because of all her Goth-styled clothing."
Diana nodded. They heard a door opening and then slamming. Diana knew it was DJ coming out. They heard screaming from two girls. One was DJ and the other was one of their stepsisters, Dawn. Mr. Summers went up the stairs.
"Dawn. DJ. What is this all about" Mr. Summers tried to say in a calm voice, but there was a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"She called me everything but a white woman." DJ spat. She was in a fighting position and her green eyes were wide with fury. "I won't stand for this. You know that Mr. Summers. I am getting sick of her and her sisters bitching at me all of the time. I always want to be left alone but your annoying daughters just won't leave me alone. I swear, they're like obsessed with me or something! Ever since the day I moved here, they've been making my life a living hell"
"Well if you want to be alone why don't you go home to your mom, you fucking whore." And then Dawn added sarcastically, "Oh sorry, I forgot, you don't HAVE a mom. Her brains were blown-up shitless by some guy. By the way, if you ever see that murderer, thank him for me."
"You fucking retard" DJ yelled throwing a nearby vase at her, but she missed by a mile. Dawn's last sentence seemed to have hit a nerve.
Mr. Summers blew on his little whistled, which he kept in his pocket just for situations like this. "STOP IT BOTH OF YOU! GO TO YOUR ROOMS…NOW!"
Two loud booms could be heard as Dawn and DJ stormed up to their bedrooms. Mr. Summers gave Diana a tiring look and rolled his eyes as if to say, "What did I do to deserve this?"
Diana gave a sad chuckle and said in a timid voice, "I'm sure it will get better."
Mr. Summers sighed, "I hope you're right."
There was a silent moment, but then suddenly, Mr. Summers perked up and exclaimed, "Oh dear me! How could I forget to tell you guys! Tell DJ to come out now, I need to tell you two something very important!"
It was Diana's turn to raise an eyebrow, but she obeyed anyways and called DJ. After DJ trudged into the room, she muttered under her breath in an annoyed tone, "What do you want now?"
"Now DJ, don't be so sad, I have good news! This could be the end to all your troubles! Didn't you girls want to transfer to a school? Guess what? You and Diana are going to be transferred to Domino High this year for grade 12. The school gave me a call at work, the were very excited to accept you, knowing you come from such a splendid school; though I had to convince them a bit on Diana's case." He chucked slightly. "You will be staying with an old friend of my, Solomon Motou. I trust he will take good care of you. I heard he has a grandson who will be enrolling in the same school."
DJ's eyes widened with shock. "So- I- I-. Domino's is in Japan right? I think I read about it somewhere in a catalog magazine"
"Yes, it is."
Her mouth opened in surprise, "So- I wont have to deal with Dawn, Eve and Faith for months?"
Mr. Summers cracked a smile, "Yes, that's true."
"YIPPEE!"
Even Diana smiled; she didn't like her stepsisters very much either. "So, when are we leaving?"
"Well, as soon as possible, what about… in a week? Will that give you girls enough time to pack?"
"YES, YES, YES!" DJ squealed in delight, she hasn't been this happy in months.
"Do you know what that means DJ?" Diana said with her eyes gleaming. DJ took a step back; she knew what was coming… "SHOPPING!"
Mr. Summers laughed as Diana dragged DJ out the door, and then he suddenly remembered something else and quickly called DJ back in.
"DJ, there's something I have been meaning to give you for a long time, and I think now, is the best." He smiled and handed her three cards. "These belonged to your parents, and the last one is yours. They had it made a long time ago, incase anything ever happened to them."
DJ held the cards with shaking hands. "So, these were my parent's FBI cards? But what's the last one?"
"The last card gives you privileges to all their money and everything they own, which I have stored up in a secret place. But anyways, you're too young to know now. But you will know later. That place could prove to be more useful then you think."
DJ smiled sadly, memories of her old mansion and her parents flashed back into her mind. But Diana interrupted her thoughts.
"HEY! How come I don't have one?" Diana pouted.
DJ and Mr. Summers laughed, "But you do Diana." Mr. Summers pointed out, "You're collection of credit cards prove more then worthy to DJ's card."
Everyone cracked up.
"Ok you guys have fun okay? If there's any trouble, you know how to contact me." He gave the girls a hearty wink and left.
-One Week Later-
"Rise and Shine!" Diana said cheerily as she pulled back the covers to DJ's bed.
The sleepy girl gave a slight shiver and cursed under her breath as Diana shoved her off the bed and dragged her into the washroom.
After getting changed and having little pointless fistfights; they were off to the Airport.
"Now remember girls!" Mr. Summers called as the girls boarded their plane. "Work hard and do well in school! I don't want to be getting any notes saying you girls aren't participating or getting into trouble!" He glanced briefly at Diana, "But most importantly, HAVE FUN! Mr. Motou's grandson will be picking you up!"
And with Daddy's blessing; they were off.
-Domino City Airport-
"What do they look like again?" asked a young man with tri-colored hair and deep amethyst eyes.
"Yami, how many times do I have to remind you?" chuckled a younger and more naive and innocent version of Yami. "Both have blonde hair, one's probably shorter considering he's a guy. My grandpa told me that one would be wearing all pink and white, and the other all black."
Yugi and Yami were going to pick DJ and Diana up from the airport. They somehow thought that DJ was a guy; I mean, how many girls do you know have DJ as a name?
"Is that them?" Yami asked tugging on the sleeve of Yugi's shirt. He was pointing at two girls. Both were blondes, but one had light pink, silver, and brown streaks.
"Wasn't one of them a guy?" Yugi muttered with a confused look on his face, "Things are getting weirder and weirder."
From far away, Diana looked like your average Malibu Stacey doll. She was wearing a bright hot-pink tank top with matching pink sweat pants. She looked excited, with a big smile plastering her face.
But DJ… she looked so… dark, and disturbed. She had on a black t-shirt with netting at the bottom, and a pair of baggy black pants. She had a thin-lipped smile on her face, that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Err- Hi! I'm Yugi! Solomon Motou's grandson," Yugi said coming up to welcome the girls, "We'll be taking you home today!"
Diana nodded cheerfully. "Okay! So, you're Yugi"
Yugi nodded blushing slightly, "Yes, and over there," He directed, "Is my err- cousin, Yami."
Yami waved and gave a friendly smile. "Hi Diana, and DJ."
Diana pushed DJ forward slightly; DJ didn't seem very pleased by these actions, her heavy outlined eye rolled a full circle as she muttered under her breath "Hi, I'm DJ."
Yugi looked at DJ worriedly. "She looked so depresses. Diana looks like a bundle of energy, but DJ, she's like the exact opposite."
"Yugi is something wrong?" Yami asked telepathically, looking at the expression on Yugi's face.
"Yeah DJ seems so depressed. I wonder why though? I have a feeling we're going to have a hard time communicating with her".
"She does seem like she's been through a lot. She seems like the devil that's escaped from hell and barely made It." Yami sighed. "Reminds me of Kaiba."
"Yeah!" Yugi remarked chuckling, "They would make a good couple eh?"
"Don't be getting any ideas now."
"Umm…" Are we going to stand here all day, or are we going to go somewhere?" Diana said impatiently as she examined her French manicure.
They followed Yugi and Yami to the taxis that were there to take them to the Kame Game Shop.
When they finally arrived, the boys showed Diana and DJ around the house.
"Grandpa's sorry he couldn't be here to greet you guys," Yugi said as she led Diana to her room, "But there was an ancient Egyptian exhibit today and he just couldn't resist."
Diana laughed, "Reminds me so much of me! When there's a shoe sale, wild horses couldn't stop me from going."
Yami took DJ to her room in silence.
"So, here's your room." He added nervously, "If there's any trouble, my room, your sisters and Yugi's room are just down the corner."
DJ replied with a silent thud as her bedroom door slammed shut.
Just after DJ finished packing: there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in!" DJ called in an annoyed voice.
"Hey" Diana said in a soft voice as she entered the room.
"Hey Courtney." DJ smiled slightly as she flung herself on the bed. She always preferred Diana's middle her to her first.
Diana rolled her eyes and laughed, "What did I tell you about using my middle name REI?"
"Shut up!" DJ joked as she flung a pillow across the room, "Don't use my middle name and I won't use yours!"
"Deal!"
"So why did you come?" DJ asked casually.
"You ok? You seem so depressed today. I thought you would be happy."
"I'm fine." DJ snapped, "I'm just tired."
"You sure."
"Yes."
"Do you want to tour around Domino with Yugi and Yami" Diana asked with a hint of desperation in her voice.
"Maybe later."
"Ok. Then, I'll see you tonight"
"Yeah oh and buy something nice ok"
"What do you mean?" Diana raised an eyebrow.
DJ rolled her eyes and laughed"Well, when you said "Tour around Domino, it's obviously you actually meant to say "Stroll around and look for a mall to buy things."
Diana giggled"You know me too well. Do you want me to get you something as I go "Tour around Domino""
DJ sighed. "Yeah sure that would be nice."
Diana smiled and went on her way. DJ sighed once again, then she smiled.
"Sometimes I really think that things happen for a reason. I really don't want to think about this."
She slipped onto her bed and soon fell fast asleep.
-Downstairs-
Yugi, Yami and Diana were getting ready to go on their little "Tour".
"Yami" Diana asked. "Can you do me a big favor?"
"What?"
"Can you go ask DJ if she wants to come?" Diana said giving her cutest wounded puppy look.
"Err- That is- I" He stammered turning as red as a tomato, "Why don't we let her rest, she seems tired."
Diana gave a sad sigh, "Fine, let's go."
