Chapter 1

'Young Hoshi Hanako Rhodes, of age 15, has won 25 straight matches,, which is the most a female pro-duelist has won in the last 10 years. We are looking forward to seeing how this young duelist will do in the upcoming tournaments.'

"Ha! They think I'm headed to a tournament! Unfortunately, they're dead wrong," I said to myself, throwing down the monthly issue of Industrial Illusionists Magazine. With my picture on the cover, I had most girls' dream.

The magazine was talking about me, but one thing was wrong – I'm not going to a tournament. In fact, I'm going to the prestigious Duel Academy to visit my brother, Atticus, and my sister, Alexis.

Unfortunately, the big-headed, egotistical jerk some called Aster Phoenix was coming too… That's right girlies; I thought he was the biggest jerk on the planet. No, scratch that, the biggest jerk in the whole galaxy. I couldn't see how any girl with sense could like him.

"Ms. Rhodes, we're landing." I looked up and out the window. There it was – the three colored towers, the giant, castle-like Obelisk Blue dorms, the large dueling arena… I wish I wasn't a protégée so I could come here to study.

I walked off the plane – er, extra large jet – and breathed in the fresh air and smelled everything, the flowers, the forest, and the salt water.

"Hoshi!" someone yelled. I turned around to see my big sister, Lex, waving like crazy.

"Hey Lex!" I yelled back. With my bag slung over my shoulder, I walked towards her and her friends. Smiling, my sister gave me a hug, since she hadn't seen me in over a year, with Alexis at Duel Academy.

"So, these the guys you were telling me about?" I asked, eyeing a small boy with blue hair and another who was taller with spikey black hair.

Lex nodded, "Yeah, you'll meet another later. He's down there, dueling." She pointed to the beach underneath the cliffs.

A young man with two-toned brown hair and a confident grin on his face stood with his Academy Duel Disk activated. Facing him was a boy about the same age, maybe a year younger, my age, in a silver tuxedo, a black undershirt, a white tie, and silver hair. He also had an Academy Disk on, activated.

I gasped. "What'd that guy say his name was?" I asked, pointing at silver-boy.

Lex replied, "He called himself A.P., why?"

"No reason." The two-toned brown haired boy defeated A.P. and jumped up, punching his fist into the air. 'A.P.' walked up to him, congratulating the duelist for a good match. Afterwards, he walked off, looking thoughtful about Ra knows what.

I looked over to see the duelist boasting about his victory to the smaller boy.

"You rocked! Way to play!" I looked at them. What was with this school? "Get your game on" and "Way to play"? Man, people said that I was weird!

"Anyone who thinks you're a legend isn't the sharpest tack in the box," the spikey haired guy scoffed.

"Maybe, but he was kinda cute…" Alexis blushed a bit. My jaw dropped; my own sister thought that my rival was cute!?

"Uh… Didn't notice. Anyway, I'm sure we haven't seen the last of A.P.," the duelist replied.

"Hey wait! He said his name was A.P. …" The small boy looked around in his bag for something. He finally came out with a red magazine and looked through it. "I knew it! He's Aster Phoenix!"

"Okay, so he's got a weird name…"

Alexis sighed, "Jaden, think, Aster Phoenix is -!"

"The number one duelist in the Pros… With 80 match wins under his sleeve, he is the best bet to win the next world tournament. As well as the most popular duelist among the girls and the top duelist of the year," I interrupted sarcastically, quoting from the special that the reporter, Kimi, did on Aster and I.

"Uh… Yeah, how'd you know?" the blue haired boy asked.

"I've met him," I said bluntly.

"Well, it looks like the Pro got a schooling form the student!" Jaden exclaimed.

"Lex, see ya. I'm gonna take a walk. Seeing Mr. 'I'm-the-best-ever' gave me a bad headache. Later," I said as I walked away. I looked around to find Atty so I could ask him how he had been over the past four years. Finally, I decided to check by the docks. When I got there, I tried to leave immediately.

Alexis's P.o.V.

As Hoshi walked away, Alexis sighed. 'Well, Atticus was right; she really does have a grudge against Aster Phoenix for some reason…'

Hoshi's P.o.V.

"What are you doing here, Rhodes?" Aster asked.

"Visiting my family, what do you think?" I spat. Aster rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. See ya, Rhodes."

"Sure you will Phoenix…"
