Alright, if you've seen my profile lately, I mentioned I was going to re-write this. I'll tell you now that this isn't going to be a long fan fiction. I don't want any hate reviews. This was one of my first fictions and I felt like re-writing it.
I smiled up at the sun. "Well Ra, once again its a beutiful day." I said with a smile.
My Name is Dannielle Simoran, I'm 16 years old. My mother is an Egyptian archeologist and my dad is the CEO of Computer Tech International. He mainly gets his buisness from someone named Seto Kaiba and Maximilian pegasus. When my parents divorced I moved to Egypt, and stayed with my mother.
"Danni baby, theres a package for you." My mom called.
I got up and ran to our tent and smiled. "From who?"
"Maximilian Pegasus." Mom said.
"Oh I know who told him to send this. I'm not opening it." I said.
"Now Danni, it might be important. Open it." Mom ordered.
"Fine." I said and opened the package. Inside was a glove and a letter. "Dear Miss. Simoran, I Maximilian Pegasus cordially invite you to Duelist Kingdom for a Duel Tournament. Inside this box are the items you need, a duels glove two cards, and two star chips, one of the cards is simply blank and the other has a picture of a vast treasure. Present this letter at the mansion gates and I'll explain things further. Sincerely Pegasus."
Mom smiled. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Mademoiselle Dragon returns?" I asked.
When my mother used to duel, she was known as the Dark Dragon. She gave up dueling when she found her true passion: Archeology. Mom got out an old wooden box. "All yours, my little dragon."
I hugged her. "I'll miss you mom."
"I'll be here when you get back sweetie."
The next morning I woke to people talking. I dressed and went out, grabbing a granola bar. My mom was talking to a man in a suit. "Mornin momma." I said.
"Miss. Simoran good morning. Mr. Pegasus sent you a helicopter should you choose to accept." The man said.
"Oh...umm....I haven't even packed yet. It probably won't take me long if you'll wait." I said before going back inside. I got my suitcase and put in the wooden box before packing my clothes. Once finished I walked out and hugged my mom and went to the Helicopter. I got on and I could have sworn seeing Marik watching me leave.
The man woke me. "Miss. Simoran welcome to Duelist Kingdom."
I looked down and saw we were landing on a helipad on a mansion. "Man." I said, stretching. I got out when the Helicopter landed and saw Pegasus. I waved and the man carried my bag.
"Take Miss. Simoran's bag to her room, Kemo." Pegasus ordered.
"Yes Master Pegasus." Kemo said.
Once he was gone Pegasus smiled. "Dannielle, you've gotten so big, how's your mother?"
"Great, she sends greetings." I said.
"Any new tombs?" Pegasus asked.
"Just the same ones." I said. "Besides, I thought you learned your lesson from the god's." I said, glaring at him.
Pegasus sighed. "Ah you know me to well Danni -"
"Don't be so formal with me." I said. "I'm only here for the tournament."
"Very well we'll discus it over some wine." Pegasus said.
"Only a glass for me, otherwise I'll report you to the authorities. Wine is good for your heart in moderation." I said, with a small smile.
I looked at the painting of Cecelia. I sighed. Pegasus was still obsessed with her passing. I saw no good coming out of this.
"Well you already know about my tournament, and now I shall explain the cards I sent."
I barely listened. "Look I have no interest in this tournament despite what my father told you. But Egypt is getting tiresome, so I'm gonna stay." I said before standing up. I went to my room and locked the door. I opened the box mother gave me and changed into the black corset top and black pants. I put my hair into a braid before putting on the black eye mask. I grabbed my deck and snuck out of the mansion.
By dusk I already had eight star chips, and everyone knew the Dark Dragon had returned. I looked out my window as the sun set. A knock came to my door. I shoved the box under my bed. "Come in." I said.
Croquet came in with a tray of food. "You missed dinner."
"Sorry, I got caught up in the scenery." I said, looking outisde again.
Croquet put the tray on my nightstand. "Sleep well, Miss. Simoran."
I woke early in the morning, and went to the kitchen, and put the tea kettle on. I pulled out my book and began reading. I smiled, seeing the chapter on Ra. Croquet entered. "Good Morning, Miss. Simoran."
"Please, call me Dannielle." I said, shutting my book. I put it on the table.
Croquet pulled out two gifts from the kitchen cabinet. "Your father wishes you a happy birthday. He says more will come later today."
I sighed. "Right, it's my birthday." I murmured. "I'll be around the island."
I sat under a tree, reading the book dad had sent: Egyptian Legends.
A few pairs of footsteps approached. I looked up and stared. In front of me was the Millennium puzzle. "You finished that?" I asked, amazed.
"You know about the puzzle?" The kid who had the puzzle asked.
"Of course. I've only spent thirteen years of my life in Egypt." I said, smiling.
"Danni....Miss. Simoran!" A mans voice called.
"Oy, why can't I enjoy a moment of peace?" I asked. I stood. "Nice meeting you...."
"Yugi, Yugi Motou. These are my friends, Joey, Tea, and Tristan." Yugi said.
"Pleased to meet you." I said, before walking off.
A few days passed and I saw Seto Kaiba come to the castle to duel Pegasus. "Nothing good will come from this." I murmured to myself. I went up to Kaiba. "Wait....Kaiba this isn't worth whatever Pegasus told you."
"How would you know?" Kaiba asked.
"I feel it deep down." I said. "What about your brother? He cares a lot for you."
"This is for him." Kaiba said before going around me.
I knew it. Kaiba lost the duel and Pegasus sent his soul away to the shadow realm. I silently followed Pegasus's men, and saw them put Kaiba's body in a bedroom I snuck in and went to him. "I told you so..." I whispered. I moved the hair from his face. I never noticed before how hansom he was. There was something about him....something deep down that drew me close to him. I shook my head. What was I thinking? Me in love with this stuck up bastard? I started a joke with my mother that my dad was the sperm donor for him. I left the room, heading twords my room. I saw Yugi and his friends. "Hey." I said, smiling. "I thought I'd check on him since my mom taught me a lot about the shadow games. I think he'll be okay. But someones got to make him release the souls."
"So how much do you know about the millennium puzzle?" Yugi asked.
"Not a lot. I just know that its supposed to be impossible to be able to complete it." I said. "Either your good, or it chose you, Yugi."
Yugi smiled nervously. Yugi sighed then. "Hey, Danni, do you know anything about the Dark Dragon?" He asked.
"Oh yea. I've seen her in action. Who knew a complete dragon deck would work?" I asked no one in particular.
"Yeah I've heard about that. I hope to meet her and duel her sometime." Yugi said, smiling.
"Well, don't go whining when she beats you." I said, smirking. "Excuse me."
I went to my room. I changed into the Dark Dragon clothes and walked around the mansion. I saw Yugi and smiled. "I hear you've been looking for me."
"Indeed." The voice wasn't Yugi's. I blinked.
"You can't be..." I whispered to myself, looking at him closely. I gasped. It was the Pharaoh. "You are." I said.
"I am what?" He asked.
"It doesn't matter." I said, disguising my voice. "If your here that means I was right about Pegasus. Listen: He wasn't always like this, but the Millennium eye is corrupting his thoughts. If you defeat him, perhaps he'll return to his old self. I tried to warn Kaiba, but he didn't listen to me. He doesn't believe in the shadow games."
"What do you know about the shadow games?"
"A lot. I live in Egypt, after all." I said. "But enough talk, I believe you want a duel?" I asked.
"Another time." The pharaoh said, before walking away.
"Odd...." I murmured, before returning to my room. I stared at the stars. It was really him...the great pharaoh. This means that Pegasus is only the begining of this.
