Chapter 1: Lucia, the Girl with the Cross

At an airport in Japan, a girl and a baby white tiger walked into the city. Her name is Lucia, and the tiger was her pet, Elizabeth, or Eliza for short. Her natural curly hair was long golden red that was tied in a braided ponytail, her eyes were earth emerald green, she was skinning, and her face was beautiful (though as humble as she was, she didn't believe that she was beautiful at all).

She knew about the Kaiba Battle City Tournament. She was a duelist, and the moment she heard about this, she felt she had to enter.

Lucia looked around the area. Around her neck, her priceless gold choker (decorated in amethysts and diamonds and a cross hanging from a chain) started to glow.

"It's happening again," she thought. This choker was from her parents. A very precious item, made from pure gold and real jewels, that was extremely value. This wasn't the first time that it glowed like this.

"It's a sign, Mistress," a sweet familiar voice told her in her head. The image of her favorite card, Wingweaver, a beautiful pink skin, purple-haired, yellowed dressed, six wing angel, appeared to her that only she could see.

"You are meant to be here," she said.

"Okay, Wingweaver, whatever you say," Lucia responded in her thoughts. Wingweaver was also a gift from her parents. The spirit of the card was a sister to her, the one of the only three she had left to trust. Wingweaver was her guardian, and Elizabeth, her other best friend, was her protector.

"Let's go, Eliza. We have a tournament to enter."

________________________________________________

Yugi and the gang went to a card shop to enter the Battle City Tournament. The man that the computer got ready. Yugi entered, then Joey almost didn't enter. The man saw his red-eyes black dragon, he made him qualified without him knowing. Yugi and happy Joey got their duel disks.

Then Lucia came in.

"Hello, I'm going to sign up for the Battle City Tournament," she said.

"Your name, please," the man said.

"Lucia Heaven from Florida, America," she introduced.

"Ah, strange, you're in the database. You have the rare card, the Angel of Love," the computer guy said.

"Yes," she told him.

"All right."

"Thank you." As Lucia walked by Yugi with her duel disk, her cross and his Millennium Puzzle both started to glowed. Lucia didn't notice this time, but Yugi and the computer guy saw it.

Yugi and his friends decided to go after her.

________________________________________________

"So I'm in the tournament. Now I just need an apartment," she told Eliza and Wingweaver.

Suddenly, a man in a strange purple cloak appear.

"Okay, Girlie, hang over that choker and follow us," he said.

"No thanks, my necklace is off-limits, and I'm not going anywhere with you," she told the creep.

He grabbed her arm. "It wasn't an option."

At that moment, Wingweaver grabbed a hold of the man, and Eliza bit his leg.

"Run, Mistress! We'll be okay," Wingweaver said. At first, she didn't move, then she ran away. The man got through the spirit and the tiger, following after her.

After running a few blocks, Lucia tripped and scratch and bruised her leg. It hurt a lot that she couldn't run anymore.

"I got you!" the man said, reaching for her arm again. She closed her eyes. Instead of being grabbed harshly like she excepted, she was scooped up bridal-style, being held carefully but tightly.

"Give her back. She's coming with me," the man said.

"I don't think so," spoke the voice of Lucia's rescuer. The girl opened her eyes. The one holding her was that Yugi kid from the shop, but he was different. His eyes were sharp, and his hair was different. He could be his older brother.

"Who are you?" she asked, surprised that he saved her.

"Don't worry. You're safe now," he told her.

"Yeah, but I'll be back for the girl," he said, running away.

"Yugi!" the boy's three friends shouted. They came to them.

"Are you okay?" the girl, Tea, asked Lucia.

"Yes, my leg is killing me though but I'm fine," she answered.

"It looks like you banged it up badly. We'll take you Yugi's place to get it treated," Tristan said.

"But I can handle it. I can stand the pain really. I don't want to bother you," Lucia protested. She just met these guys, and they were willing to help her.

"No can do. You're too hurt to walk. It's okay," Yugi said.

"Okay."

________________________________________________

After the gang took Lucia to Yugi's house, his grandfather, Solomon, took care of her wound while they explained everything.

Yugi, the one she saw at the shop, and Yugi, the one who saved her, were two different souls in one body, caused by the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. The Yugi that rescued Lucia was named Yami and was once Pharaoh in ancient Eygpt, but right now, he didn't remember a thing. When Yugi solved the puzzle, their souls shared his body. They went through adventures with them. They had went after her when her cross and the puzzle started to glowed at the same time. Thinking that she was connected to it, they followed her. That when they saw the man, a rare hunter went after her.

"I understand, and I believe everything. I don't know why, but my cross glows sometimes. I'm not sure that if it's connected to the puzzle," Lucia told them. Solomon finished treated her leg.

"How does it feel?" he asked.

"Painful, but I think it will get better soon before the tournament," she answered.

"We saw that rare hunter grabbed you, but you manage to escape. How?" Yami asked (he was still in control).

"It was thanks to Wingweaver and Eliza. Oh no, they're still out there. I have..." Lucia stood up to get out of there.

"Mistress!"

"AH!... ow," Wingweaver and Eliza's sudden appearance surprised Lucia. She jumped and hurt her leg again. Wingweaver was in the room with Eliza.

"How many time do I have to ask you to stop sneaking up on me like that? You nearly gave me a heart attack again!" Lucia said.

Wingweaver laughed, "Sorry, Mistress, didn't mean to spook you. Here's Eliza. That man is gone for now," the creature returned to Lucia's card, and Eliza went into her arms.

"Wingweaver is a special card to me. My parents gave her to me like my choker. We're close. As for Eliza here, she's tame and would never hurt a fly. You don't need to be afraid of her," Lucia told her new friends as Eliza inspected all of them.

She seemed to like Yami and Yugi the most.

________________________________________________

Solomon and Yugi let Lucia stay with for the night. While they all were talking, she fell asleep on the couch.

"She must be exhaused. She had a hard day," Tea said. They looked her, seeing something sparkle on her face. Eliza kept them from seeing closer.

They manage to see that her cross was glowing again, and she shaking.

"Mom... Dad... Darcy... Kisa... don't leave... please. I... don't want to be alone. Please!" she groaned in her sleep. Eliza covered Lucia's body with a blanket from toe to head and stood guard on top of her.

"What's up with the cat?" Joey asked.

"Please, forgive her," Wingweaver appeared, "Our mistress has had a rough past. It haunts her in her sleep. We must protect her since she made a vow to never allow anyone to see her tears. Please understand."

When Wingweaver disappeared, Yami came up next to Yugi. "I wonder what happened to her. She seems to be an okay girl," Yugi said.

"Me too. Whatever happened made her vow to not to show anyone her tears. It must involve her parents," Yami added. The Pharaoh couldn't help but feel concern for her.
