A New Type of Magic

Disclaimer: I don't own yu-gi-oh, I only own the plot and new characters.

We walked out of the train, on a dark, foggy, evening. Gray clouds covered the sky. I, myself, quite enjoy this type of afternoon, but as for my friends, that would have to be a bit of another story.

"It's so cold, and I can't get my luggage yet to get a sweater." Moaned Akiko.

"I thought you knew the weather was going to be bad, sensei warned us." I replied.

"Well, sensei's an idiot, do you think I would listen to him?" Akiko said.

"How can you say that, he's the best teacher ever?" Taylor remarked.

"You mean the cutest teacher ever." I stated. Akiko and Taylor looked at each other and took a step backwards.

"Kaiba will always be mine." Akiko replied.

"Eh, Yugi's old school." Taylor said.

"Well, let's head down to Domino High, the other chosen ones should be getting out of school soon." I mentioned trying to change the subject.

"Good idea, you guys go to Domino High and I'll go find Kaiba." Akiko said.

"Are you obsessed with Kaiba or something?" Taylor asked.

"Maybe," Akiko said as she looked back and forth.

"Okay, go ahead and find Kaiba, we'll meet you back here." I said. So, Taylor and I went to Domino High and only god knows where Akiko went and what she'll do when she meets Kaiba, but oh well. We slowly walked approached the High School as a stampede of students ran out the door. After about 15 minutes Joey, Tristan, Yugi, and Tea walked out the door. We approached them as stealthily as a cat.

"Hi, I'm Taylor. We're exchange students coming to your school, and we would like to meet some new people." Taylor greeted them.

"Hi, I'm Tea, this is Joey, that's Tristan, and he's Yugi. It's nice to meet you." Tea replied.

"Hi" said Yugi, Joey, and Tristan.

"This is my friend Natasha." Taylor introduced me.

"Hi" I said watching Yugi and Joey. "You can just call me Nat."

"Okay, hi Nat, nice to meet ya." Joey replied. "Have you guys got your schedules yet?"

"Yep, wanna see what classes we'll have together? We start tomorrow." Taylor said excitedly.

As we looked over our schedules, I said, "We have another friend, her named Akiko, she's just a bit obsessed with Kaiba."

"Only a bit, I'd say she's more than 'a bit' obsessed with Kaiba." Taylor responded.

"Really, she's coming to Domino High to?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah, we said we'd meet her at Domino station, wanna come?" Taylor said.

"Sure, we'll go." Tristan said outta nowhere.

"Okay, let's get going." I said.

Meanwhile…

Akiko was wandering aimlessly around the other side of town. "Man, I wonder where he could be," she said, "I've already checked Kaiba corp., Kaiba park, and the mall, but he wasn't there." After about two minutes Akiko found herself next to a McDonalds, which was inviting with all the delectable smells. This drew her in as she noticed her stomach growling. She quickly walked in when she noticed Kaiba at the counter.

"Do you want to put these products in the kids meals or not?" He said to the guy behind the counter. "Hurry and decide, I've got better things to be doing."

"Ummm… well sir, I would have to ask the manager." Said the boy who had a squeaky and nervous voice, greasy hair, and a face covered with acne.

"Then go get the manager, he called me here so I would like to see him!" Kaiba yelled.

"Yes sir, right away." The boy behind the counter replied as he hurried to the manager's office. In a couple of minutes the same boy and a short man came out of the room.

"Welcome Kaiba, come back to my office and we'll talk." Said the manager.

"Fine, but this better not take to long." Was Kaiba's reply. Him and the manager went back to his office, and Akiko stood there, staring at were Kaiba once stood.

"E…excuse m…me ma'am, w…would you like to o…order." Stumbled the same boy who had been talking to Kaiba.

"Sure, I would like a Butterfinger McFlurry." She replied, coming back to reality, and then walking over to the counter.

About ten minutes later, Kaiba came out of the office as Akiko quickly finished her ice cream. "So we have a deal?" Asked the manager.

"Yeah, I'll have someone send you the toys in a couple of days." Kaiba replied. The manager went into the back room as Kaiba started heading for the door. Akiko took the chance and walked over to him.

"Excuse me, Kaiba, I'm one of your biggest fans." She said.

"So, do you want an autograph or something?" He replied.

"That would be nice, but that's not it, I'm new in town and I don't know my way to the train station, I don't have a car, and I spent all my money on the ride here. (A.n. The whole spent all my money is a lie.) My hotel is near the train station and I was wondering if you could give me a ride." Akiko remarked.

"Why don't you walk?" He questioned.

"For one, I walked all the way over here and my feet are sore, and secondly, I got lost on my way over here. Please take me, I'll never bother you again," she begged.

At that moment Mokuba ran in and said, "Seto, what's taking so long?"

"This girl is lost and she keeps begging me to take her to the train station." Kaiba replied as they looked at Akiko, who was making Bambie eyes.

"Why don't we, it won't take to long, and plus, the train station is on the road we take to get home." Mokuba said.

"Fine, but like she promised, she has to leave me alone after that." Kaiba responded.

At the train station…

"What's taking her so long, we've been waiting forever." I said.

"Maybe she got lost?" Tristan suggested.

"Sounds like her." Taylor said.

"We'll wait five more minutes, after that, we leave." I stated. At that moment a shiny, black limo pulled up and the door slowly creaked open. Akiko stepped out of the door with Mokuba right behind her.

"Hi guys, I hope I didn't make you wait to long." Akiko said.

"Only about half and hour." I stated with a vein on my head. (A.n. If you don't know what a vein is, it's that thing that anime characters get on their head when they're mad.)

"Sorry, I got kinda lost. Luckily, Kaiba helped me." Akiko replied.

"Yeah, well Mokuba and I need to get going, get in the car Mokuba." Kaiba said from within the limo, "We don't want to be hanging out with these losers."

"Wait!" I said; everyone looking at me as I walked toward the limo, "I would like to meet the all famous Kaiba, the only one who get actually beat Yugi, if he had tried a little harder."

"Are you insulting me?" Kaiba asked as he got out of his car.

"Maybe, or maybe we just need something from three people standing near the train station." Was my reply as everyone got dead silent and very serious.

"Who are these three people?" Tristan questioned, breaking the silence, and the seriousness of this situation, "Is one of them me?"
"The three we would acquire assistance from would be Kaiba…" Akiko said.

"…Yugi…" Taylor followed.

"…and Joey." I finished.

"What makes me want to help you?" Kaiba asked.

"If you don't the whole world is doomed." I replied.

"Why should I believe something stupid like that?" Kaiba remarked.

"Because if you don't you'll be the first person to die, and little Mokuba will be all alone." Taylor said.

"Not that we're being pushy or anything, but we really need your help, we'd all appreciate it if you helped, and our idiot sensei would give us a reward, if we save the world." Akiko stated.

"This doesn't have anything to do with magic, does it?" Kaiba asked with a bit of irritation in his voice.

"What do you think?" I replied.

"There's no such thing as magic, it's a thing of fairytales and fantasy." Was Kaiba's response.

"Be that way, but you will know you're at fault if the world ends." Taylor told him. Kaiba just got back into the limo with Mokuba behind him. Akiko, Taylor, and I turned to look at Yugi and Joey as Kaiba speed away behind us.

"So, tell us what dis magic stuff is." Joey said breaking the silence.

"We come from a school, far away, and well, basically, we make our own cards and use them in battle." Taylor replied.

"So, where does magic come into all of this?" Tea asked.

"The cards are magic, for example the monsters in the monster cards come to life, and the armor you use from the armor cards go onto your body. We use these to fight, and we make the cards using our magic, not colored pencils and paper." Akiko stated.

"So, why do you need us?" Yugi asked.

"You are the chosen ones, we don't know how they're are in all, but using this compass, and our sensei found out you three were chosen ones. He also estimated that you'd been involved with magic before, that's why he could find you so easily." I said. At that moment the ground shook fiercely and the sky went dark. The world just seemed to stop, but things were still moving. In front of us, a figure stepped out of the shadows, a young man, tall, dark, our worst enemy. He had hair as green as an ocean of algae, his eyes as purple as a kings throne, and his clothes as black as pitch. (a.n. Pitch is tar.)

"It's been awhile, hasn't it?" He said speaking to Akiko, Taylor, and me.

"Yeah, but not long if you ask me." Akiko retorted.

"I see you've made new friends, can they use magic yet?" He said back.

"No, they can't use magic, we just barely meet them." Taylor replied.

"I see you girls are as spunky as ever." He said.

"At least we're not girly." I said back to him.

"Who is dis guy?" Asked Joey, who was obviously confused.

"He came from the same school we did, but he went bad. About a year or two ago, he started getting mean and became a bully, he used his magic in bad ways, like the bullying. So he got kicked out of school. He decided he wanted revenge, and he's been at it ever since." I replied.

"I see you've been studying." He said.

"No, we were there when it happened, you used to hang out with us." Taylor said.

"Who is this guy?" Tristan questioned.

"They just told us." Joey said.

"I mean, what's his name?" Tristan replied.

"Good question." Joey remarked.

"Thanks." Tristan said.

"Your welcome." Joey stated.

"His name is Soren." Akiko said.

"No, it's Shadow." Shadow said.

"What happened to Soren, that name was so much cuter?" I replied.

"When I went to the dark side I changed my name, I'm Shadow now!" He yelled.

"Why did you change your name, it was so much better before. Shadow is cheesy, and plus, it's already taken." Taylor stated.

"Urghh, who cares, I know for a fact that I'm so much better than you at magic." Shadow said.

"How?" Taylor, Akiko, and I questioned. Out of his pocket, he pulled a crystal ball, and said, "I was watching you.

"Please say you didn't watch us while we were in the bathroom!" Akiko shrieked.

"Of course not, do you think I'm a perv or something?" Shadow yelled.

"No, I just wanted to make sure, I would have slapped you silly if you were, though." Akiko replied.

"Ah, whatever, let's just get started." Shadow said.

"Get started with what?" Taylor asked.

"A fight, duh, I wanna see how much better you've gotten since we last fought." Shadow stated.

"What kinda, fight?" Joey asked.

"A magic fight." I replied.

"I thought you knew how much better we got with that stupid crystal ball." Akiko said.

"I couldn't watch you all the time, I have to eat, sleep, and use the bathroom you know." Was Shadow's reply.

"Let me guess, you feel asleep every time we actually used our magic, so you don't really know how good we are." Taylor remarked.

"Of course I didn't fall asleep." Shadow said as he looked back and forth.

"He's lying." Taylor, Akiko, and I said in unison.

"So, can you cast truth spells?" Tea asked.

"Yes we can." Taylor said as an evil smile creep across our faces.

"So, lets." Akiko said.

Akiko, Taylor, and I pulled out one of our cards and said, "Truth!"

"Did you sleep most of the time you were watching us?" I asked.

"Yes." He said. "I'm gonna get you for this." He pulled out a card with a dark, fiery aura. "Fire!" He shouted, as a black fireball came flying towards us.

"Eeek!" We all screamed.

"What's dat?" Joey asked.

"A fireball, it's a magic spell." Taylor shouted.

"Oh, that explains the fire." Tristan said sarcastically.

"This is when you fall." Shadow yelled.
