Chapter 1 The Mysterious Girl and the Mysterious Item

Polari's P.O.V.

As I packed away my belongings, I looked around my room one last time. My life in Cairo, Egypt has come to an end. I was always shunned by my family and my people. My little brother, Kurai, was the only person who still loved me…even though his appearance wasn't anything like mine.

My red eyes, neck-length spiky black hair, and my somewhat darker complexion with a black crescent moon marking under my right eye on my cheek, was a scare to the small village in Cairo. I have decided to run away, regrettably leaving my little brother behind. I didn't tell him, because if I had, he would have desperately tried anything to keep me here, even if it meant threatening to kill himself.

I love Kurai, but I can't bring him with me. I'll be living far away in Japan, in Domino City, with no home, but with freedom. I wouldn't be able to support Kurai, which would break my stone heart. Also, I couldn't let him witness me using my unknown Millennium Item, the Millennium Fox, the eighth Millennium Item never known to the world.

My Millennium Item looks like a simple golden fox figurine with an Egyptian eye, but there is more to it than what meets the eye. Inside it is my other self, Yami Polari, but she is not a human spirit. She is indeed a fox, an anthro fox. The fox, who I just call Yami, is short, about 5'0, and she has white fur, red eyes like me, neck-length black hair that is held in a low ponytail by a red holder, and has a black crescent mark on her black tipped tail and right cheek, like me.

Like most, we share the same clothing; a black sleeveless top with a red crescent moon design in the front, black leather pants, and black Converse. Unlike some ancient spirits in vessels like me, Yami cares deeply about me, and she is only able to take over when my emotions are unstable, or if I'm in terrible danger. When Yami or I command, three real foxes can be summoned; a black furred fox named Kurai (named after my brother), a white furred fox named Amai, and a brown haired fox named Kaede.

The individual foxes have a unique ability, but when polymerized together, they form into Dusk, the Ultimate, a huge tricolored fox that can even outmatch Exodia, the Forbidden One. I have never polymerized my beloved foxes before, nor do I want to, so I have no idea how to combine them if I had no choice. Not even Yami knows, and she's an ancient spirit.

I flipped off the light in my room and headed out. It was about 9pm, so I have plenty of time to escape before my parents or Kurai even know I'm gone. I left a note explaining why I left, but not where I was going. I used my life savings to buy an airplane ticket to Domino City, so there was no way I was dropping any hits. In fact, I said in the note that if I ever caught wind of them looking for me, I would commit suicide.

I ran my fastest (which was pretty fast) to the airport. My flight left at 11pm. I checked in my luggage and did all of the normal airport stuff. By 10:45, I was on the plane, getting ready to depart for my new life.

Are you sure you want to go through with this? Yami asked in my mind,

"Yes," I whispered. "This is the best for the both of us. We'll be free from everyone trying to harm us, or from those who shun us. Why live in a place where you don't fit in and everyone hates you?"

Yami sighed.

You are right. I'm also worried about Kurai. Imagine how hurt he'll feel when he finds out you left him alone. I just hope he doesn't do anything reckless, like kill himself.

"He won't," I replied. "I connected my fox Kurai's spirit with my brother. My fox will let me know if my brother is about to do something desperate. Then, I'll have you take over, since my emotions will be unstable, and then I can visit his mind and tell him to stop."

Yami sighed again as she appeared to me in her spirit form.

I just hope you know what you are doing, youth. You know that after you land in Domino City, there's no going back.

"Any place is better than here," I pointed out. "I want to be free."

As you wish. Yami replied, disappearing back into her mind chamber.

The plane I was on started on its journey down the runway. I excitedly looked out the plane window, seeing the dark scenery fly by me. Once I was up in the air, I knew that my life in Domino City would be great. Sure, I'll have no roof under my head, but I know how to survive out in the open. I've had to do that when my parents would kick me out of the house for a week.

Oh, Kurai. I thought. Someday, when I get enough money and a house, I will come back and get you. You don't deserve to live with parents like ours. You need a real, loving home. With me.

Yami smirked in her mind chamber.

You have more courage and determination than anyone I know. If you were living in ancient Egypt like I did. The great Pharaoh Atemu would be proud to have you in his line of great nobles. This reminds me, Yugi Muto lives in Domino City, along with the Pharaoh himself in his own body. His noble friends are there, too. I don't know how Atemu acquired his own body, but if I find out how, I can be free to protect my hikari without her having to feel a certain way. Then, the Millennium Fox can release the three foxes as well.

"Yami, are you alright? I sense worry in your mind." I said.

Yes, I'm fine. Yami replied. You should rest. When we get to Domino City, we need all the energy.

"Right. Well, goodnight, Yami." I replied, feeling sleepy.

Yami smiled as I fell asleep.

I'm also worried about the evil that lurks in Domino City. I know that Bakura is using a boy's body as a vessel, but for evil purposes. And, I also know that Marik is there as well, hidden. I hope we don't run into either of them. If so, they'll try to take the Millennium Fox.

With that, Yami allowed rest to fall upon her, knowing that she'll have to keep her guard up even more once in Domino City. Wondering who I am? I'm Polari Manu, the girl with unusual power.

So, what do you guys think? Amazing? Awful? Drop a review and let me know!
