My name is Nikki, I'm not your everyday girl. You see, I have these powers, like I can see into the future or move things with my mind. Not only that but I'm a trainee, at this secret organiztion called Chronos. My mentor is Jenos, he's a big womanizer, but a good teacher. The other trainees really don't like me because I 'slack' off. But I'm just better then they are and finish before they do.

I walked into Shephira's office like room, it looked more like a dojo if you asked me. "Nikki, you came." she said noticing me. "Why wouldn't I you're the leader other then the elders." I said. "You've only been here for two monthes, and are ready to become a number. But you'll be a number not like any other trainee." she said. "Okay." I said. "You're are even stronger then me, when you use your temper. So you're going to be a number higher then me, you're going to be the number zero." she said.

I looked at her. "For once, a mentor will be giving thier student their weapon." she said. "Wait, am I the first for this?' I asked. "Yes. The edlers said that you should be the start of a new change. "you'll be know as number zero for then on." she said. I nodded. "dismissed." she said. I got up and walked out. For once I went on a walk around town without knowing that trainning was over.

I walked by were the boys were. They were the other trainees other then me the only girl. "Oh look it's Nikki." the one named Josh said. "Back off, I'm going to talk to her. the learder of the boys Jim said. Then there as also Tim and Martin. Four boys and then theres me, five trainees totale. They wore the trainee boy uniform whicht was a pair of black pants with a black shirt and red tie.

I wore a red and black skirt with the same shirt and tie. "So what did Shephira want?' he asked. "Lets see, you're stuck trainning and I'm going to be a number." I said. I was being sour to him like always. "Don't be like that." he said as if he was hitting on me. I walked away but I flet someone grabe my skirt. "Oh, you're going to get it now, Jim." Tim said. I turned and looked at him, our two inche different wasn't anything to me.

I punched him outside the head and kicked him in the nuts. Then I stomped off. Some guy with brown spicky hiar walked by me, and stoped beside me. "You should really take it easy on him." he said. I looked at him. I noticed his tatto number 13. "You're Black cat." I said. "And you're a trainee of Chronos right?' he asked. "By atfernoon tomorrow I won't be I'll be a number. Zero, because I'm stronger then Shephira." I said.

He looked at me. "How long have you been trainning for?' he asked. "Two monthes." I said. "I'm alittle more different then those boys." "I see, but why Chronos?' he asked. "Why not?' I asked. "I'm a bounty hunter now and I'm happy." he said. "They came to me not the other way around." I said. "It's always that way, just don't let the power take your heart." he said. Then he walked away. "I never let power take over me." I said.

I walked until the sun started to set. I went home to my apartment. I lived by myslef for as long as I could remember. I walked into my bathrooma dn took an nice long shower. Then I went to bed hoping for tomorrow to come. But my dream is what woke me early in the moring. I only rmembered a woman around the age of thirty yellling at a phone. She was scared. "TRAIN, SAVE MY BABY!'" rang in my ears.

I got ready by putting on a black dress with a sliver cross on it. I knew I won't have been able to go back to sleep after that dream. I locked my door and walked out of the building. I just walked letting my legs carrry me some were. Next thing I know I don't know what part of town I was in. I went to turn around only to run into some old man. "Who are oyu?" I asked. "A Bounty hunter what does it look like?' he asked.

I noticed he had an eye patch. "I'm sorry, bye." I said running off. I finally got to Chronos just in time. "There you are." Jenos said walking up to me. "Hi." I said. "Come on lets make you a number." he said. The thing didn't take long I really only had to vow to protect Chronos even if it ment my life. Then he handed me a double bladed scythe. "You named it whatever you want to." he said. "It's name will be reaper, but when put on parer the first r is backwards." I said.

"Get know the weapon." he said. I noded, and then everyone claped. Then I noticed jenos was rubbing his arm. "did you hurt yourself?' I asked. 'Carrying Reaper yeah." he said. "It can't be that heavey." I said holding it with one hand. Reaper did feel light to me. Jim walked over to me. "Give me it, so I can see." he said. "No, you're still a trainee." I said. He grabed it for my hands and fell over. "That's heavy." he said.

I grabed reaper. "well, I'm going to train to get to know what this can do." I said. I walked down to thet rainning room. I noticed a botten on reaper. I pushed it adn the top blade fell to the ground, anf dented the floor. "It's that heavy?" I asked. I picked up the other half to see a chain holding the two together. I grabed the chain and started to spin the one half and held on to the other hlaf. I threw the one that was spinning and it hit a traget.

I was liking the fact reaper was something only I could work with. But then I heard s crash from the front. I put reaper back into one, and ran to see. I saw the one old man from this moring, and black cat. "Heartnet, why is it that you are here?" Shephira asked. "I'm here to pick someone up." he said. "Who would that be?" Jenos asked. "A girl who has long brown hair." he said.

"What do you want with me?" I asked. "You're mom's been looking for you since you were taken from her.' he said. "I never had a mother." I said. "may be you don't know who she is because chronos took you from her." Black cat said. "They are my family don't say that." I yelled. "No you're family is with us and Eve." the old man yelled. "Who's Eve?' I asked. "Your mother." Black cat said. "Jim, get nikki out of here, and your now a number. Your number 14, and you must protect Nikki from these two." Shephira said.

"Good, come on lets get out of here." Jim said wrapping his arm around my shoulders to pull me with him. "wait!" I said pulling away from jim. "Prove you know something about me." The black cat looked lost. "You have Eve's eyes." He said. "Any one can have my colored eyes." I said. "You can see into the future and move things with your mind, and you have nanomachiens in your body. You make nanomaichens with in your body." the old man said. "HOw did you know that?' I asked.

"Because your mother, Eve, told us." he said. "JIm, get me out of here." I said. Jim lead me to the secret exit, and we got away. But Jim stoped. "I'm not going to let you take her.' Jim said. Him being taller I couldn't see Jim turned, and put his arms around me. "Prve." I whispered. "move out of the way, and you won't be hurt." I heard the black cat say. I heard him pulling the trigger. "No, don't hurt him." I cried turning Jim around so my back took the shoot.

"Nikki?" he asked. We both fell to the ground. "i'm alright. I truned my back into steel." I said. The bullet fell to the ground. "Your stronger then your mother." Black cat said. "How about you tell me your real name." I said. "Call me Train." he said. I picked up reaper a bit better. "How about a fight.' I said. He raised his gun again. "I really dobn't want to but since you asked." he said.

He shoot at me but I blocked some of his shoots with Reaper. But I had to make a shield so none would hit Jim. "Why are you protecting the bad guy?' he asked. "Jim's no bad guy." I said. "How?' he asked. "Because he helps me, with things that you would never understand." I said .But then I cold feel a blade in front of my nose, but couldn't see it.

I looked to see a man he looked the same age as black cat, with long silver hair. "How about we this a free for all?" he asked. "I don't think so." I said hitting the button on Reaper. I began to spin the blade, but something stoped me halfway through. I picked up Reaper, and just threw the blade into the air. "Jim, get down." I said. Jim ducked behind a wall. I held on tight to the half of Reaper in my hand. I did a quick turn, and spun myself around along with Reaper.

Readper came close to hitting the new man. I looked at Train to see him ducking. I slowed down enough to make he jump back up. "Creed, this is my fight stay out of it." Train yelled. "You both are." I said. I swund reaper over to Creed, but he wraped it around something. "Wha?" I asked. "It's my chi balde." he said. I tried to pull reaper back over to me, but couldn't.

"Now it's time for you to meet my chi blade level two." he said. Then I saw the blade show itself and it had a face on it. I knew to be scared. The sowrd came at me. I couldn't move. Just when the blade was about ot hit me I closed my eyes, but I didn't get hit. But I flet blood splatt on my face. I opened my eyes to see Jim. "Jim." I said. He started to fall over but I cought him. "Nikki, are you alright?" he asked. I layed him down, and Train held off Creed. "No, you big dummy, you just got your self hurt." I said.

Jim placed his hand on my face and whipped away tears, and blood. "You never told me your ture feeling, when I told you I loved you, remember?' he asked. "I remember, and right now you can't leave me." I said. "I'm trying not too." he said. "You won't close your eyes right?" I asked. "Only if you want to." he said. I only hated Jim because he told me he loved me, adn I didn't know what love was, but I fianlly do. I held Jim close, but then put him down. "Don't move, I'm going to finsih this." I said. He only nodded.

I picked up Reaper again. I pulled it apart, adn threw one half at Creed. "You're going to pay for that." I said. Creed looked at me. "How strong are you little girl?" he asked. "A lot stronger then I look." I said. I begun to swing reaper. But i stoped and put back to together, and jumped as high I could. Then I threw reaper like it was a bomarang. And it hit Creed. He held his left shoulder with his open hand.

Reaper came back to me. "You little." Creed started. "Crred, she'll kill you if you don't get out of here." Jim said. I turned and dropped reaper droped by Jim. I heard Crred flee but train walked up to me. "I'm fine Nikki, that sword just took a bite out of my shoulder." Jim said. I started to cry so hard, because it felt like I was going to loss him. Soon the world went black.

I woke up to a motor running. I looked at the window I was leaned on too see a forest moving by. "I see your awake." I heard Train say. I looked to see him in the front seat of the car we were in. "Don't tell her anything untill we stop." I heard someone say. I looked at the driver's side to see that one old man. "Name's Sven." he said tipping his hat. I looked beside me to see the seat emtey. "Jim?" I said. "He's not with us, he lost a lot of blood. We couldn't do anything." Train said with sadness in his voice.

I felt tears stream down my face. "How do you feel about going to a school to learn about the world?" Sven asked. "I don't want to go to just any school." I said. "What kind of school?" Train asked. "There's this cool game I saw once when I was out walking the streets. It's called duel monsters. I want to start my own deck, and enter the school." I said. "That sounds like a stragne school." Sven said. "I can learn it, please. You tried to save me from something its the least you can do." I said.

Sven nodded his head. "So Jim really died?" I asked. Both were quite. "I see." I said. Soon Sven stopped at a game shop. we climbed out of the car. "How will we pay for the cards?' train asked. "I have money." I said. We walked in. The man at the counter looked happy to see us. "How may I help you?' he asked. "We need to find some duel monster cards." I said. "Oh right up here." he said.

I looked at all of his cards. "Wow." I said. "So you're into duel monsters?' he asked. "Yeah, and I like to fight a lot too." I said. "I see, then maybe a fighting deck will do you." he said. Then I saw a deck and on top was a grim reaper. "What's that deck?' I asked. "Oh that's a Grim Reaper deck." he said. I noticed that the Grim reaper on the card was standing next to the case. "Pick us, we're might for you." I heard it say. "I want that one." I said. "Are you sure. People who used that deck ended up in the mental hospital." he said. "Yes, I want it.' I said holding out at least $200. "Okay, here.' he said handing it to me. "Thank you." I said.

"Oh if you want to go to Duel Academy, here's the exam to enter.' he said handing me a paper. I read it. "Alright. Let's go." I said. "But you just started today.' Sven said. "Really then here read this book." the counter man said. I picked up a small book. "It has everything you need to know." he said. I opened the book, and started to read it. "I wonder if she's anything like her mother?" Train asked. Then I put the book down. "Lets go." I said.

We got in the car. I finshed the book hlaf way there. "Train, there's a quiz in the back, ask me the questions." I said handing him the book. "Okay." he said taking the book. "Let's see, how many cards can you have in a deck?' "40 or more, but best to have 40." I said. "Right." he said. Soon we went throught all the questions."She's ready for a written test, but what about a real duel?" he asked. "I'm ready." I said.

*With someone else*

I was watching the second exam for the first years. It seemed so cool. Soon a girl walked in and she had really long hair. She wore a black dress with a sviler cross on it. I was a sceond year. "Train, this is going to be fun." the girl said. "Nikki, are you sure you don't want to see your mother first?" the oldest man asked. "Why, this will be fun." she said. She must have been kidnapped and these guys knew her mom. Then I notcied that there was a spirit next to her. It looked like a grim reaper. The girl even had a douple bladed scythe on her back.

"Here, I'll put your name on the list." the younger man said. Soon he was gone. "Jaden Yuki that girl's here to take a written test too." Dr. Crowler yelled. "Okay, I'll give her the test." I said. I picked up a packet from a stack of them, adn a pencile. "Here's the written test.' I said. She took it. "Thanks she said. I noticed she had purple eyes,, they held hurt and sadness in them, and looked like she had been crying.

She sat down and the train guy came back. "Are you sure you won't need help?" he asked as the girl turned the pages faster then I could finish the page. "Yeah, I'm done." she said handing me the packet. "So now what do I do?' she asked. "You wait for them to call your name." I said. "Thanks." she said. "Oh, My named's Nikki by the way." I said. "Elliots." the older man whispered to her. "Elliots." she said.

I looked at her. At first her face looked blank. "And you're Jaden Yuki of slifer form. I can't wait to duel you some time." she said. Then Corlwer came up behind her. "Are you Nikki Elliots?' he asked. "Yes." she said. "You're dueling him in order to enter our school. If you don't beat or tie him you don't get in." he said. "Okay." she said. "He's our strongest duelest, he never losses." he said. "That's okay." she said. She was so calm and cool.

Soon she was standing in front of me on the dueling aerna and winning the duel. "Let's see, I'm going to put reaper's daughter in the grave,a dn summon her father. Grim Reaper." she said. This duel monster had over 2000 atk points, but only needed one card sent to the grave. I had no monsters on my feild. "Now attack him." Nikki said. The Reaper attacked me, and my life points dropped to zero. "SHE BEAT HIM!" I heard the Train guy and crowler yell. "She only started to day." the old man said.

I walked up to Nikki. "That was a great duel." I said holding out my hand. "Thanks, I just wish Jim could have seen that." she said taking it. I noticed tears in her eyes. Then she turned and ran away. "Wait, you're in slifer dorm." Crowler said. "I'll be on the plane, when it's time to go." she called.
