Chapter 1: A girl named Imp

As she stared up at the bright lights of Domino City red and silver locks of hair blew over her deep blue colored eyes which were adjusting to the lights instead of the normal desert sand. With her duel monsters deck all in check, she decided to look around, starting with the fountain that was nearby, jumping up on the small wall that surrounded it. She pulled off a sand covered sandel and stuck her foot in it for a moment before shuddering and pulling her foot back out almost instinctively and rubbed her foot to rid it of thw water.

"D-damn thats cold!" she hissed then put her sandel back on. Next to her a guy started laughing and she looked at him curiously, recognizing him as Mako Tsunami, the top-ranked ocean duelist whom she had met about 2 years back after a boating accident. Mako looked at her with an odd look, as most people would realize that water was cold. "Of course it's cold! It's water....... haven't I met you before?" It seemed that he recognized her as well. "Uh... boating accident... eygpt... 2 years ago." She suggested and Mako snapped his fingers in realization then offered her a fish, which was politely refused. "No thank you."

"So, what brings your Egyptian self to Domino City?"

"Mr. Kaiba's tournament."



"The news traveled all the way to Eygpt?"

"I heard about it while visiting my father in the hospital."

"I see, are you a good duelist?"

"Well, I have been dueling since the cards came out"

"They have Duel Monsters in Eygpt?"

"Well.... not exactly" she started to explain " I lived in Eygpt as an orphan until I was about 6 then was adopted by a man, who had been on a business trip in Eygpt, who happened to live in this general area. Then Duel Monsters came out and I started playing before he sent me back to Egypt to do some research for him 2 years ago." She smiled some after explaining to and figeted with the charm around her neck which got a wierd look from Mako, and for good reason, as it looked like a small, gold, opaque latern with an egyptian eye on it.

"Let me guess, you want to know what this is... it's kinda hard to explain."

"Would it take a long time?"

"Depends on how much you know to begin with. You know about Eygptian curses right?"

"..."



"Like on the pyramids and the like.."

"Oh! Yes.. I know about them."

"Well, this little bugger and place, activate, and de-activate those curses." she explained pointing to the charm. "Wow, all that power and it's just hanging around your neck, don't you ever want to just curse people?" Mako remarked. "Sometimes.. I guess..." the red haired eygptian sighed.

"This just kinda dawned on me... but I don't know your name. I'm Mako Tsunami."

"I know our name, I bet everyone does. My name is Impadril Alexandira Yunalesce Quen........" she started to introduce herself when she was interuptted by the sound of a Helicopter, which she and Mako just gawked at, while another man Imp recognized as Seto Kaiba hung out of. He started yakking on about his tournament and getting booed at, Imp didn't mind his rules, she was just mad he'd interuppted her, she she picked up a nearby rock, stood up, and threw the rock at Kaiba's head... hard.

It hit him in the forehead and he fell back into the chopper while everyone cheered and Imp just stood there in the same pose as when she'd thrown the rock. She beamed proudly then sat back down next to Mako, who know looked kinda drunk. He wrapped one arm around her neck and tugged her closer to whisper into her ear. "Imp, chicka, you gotta teach me to throw like that." his voice sounded kinda slurry but Imp ignored it. "I could.. but you've got a much stronger arm, so you could easily out throw me, why do I need to teach you?"It just kinda dawned on Imp that she should be worried from the drunk acting Mako, who was weaving back and forth. \

"HEY! WHO SPIKED THE FISH?????!" She exclaimed then skittered out of the freaky-fish guy's reach and weaved in and out of people to escape him. "HE'S DRUNK OFF FISH! I SWEAR IT!" she yelled behind her then grabbed the next closest person to use as a sheild.

Fortuneately her sheild worked, unfortuneately her victim, who happened to be Rex Raptor, didn't seem to thrilled with the sudden arrangement. "Am I done yet?" "NO!" Imp shreiked and clung to him, deciding she and Rex weren't going ANYWHERE until Mako cleared out.

**SIX HOURS LATER**

"Is he gone yet?"

"No, he's sitting there like an obediant dog."

Imp sighed and threw Rex over her shoulder. "Fine.. I'll just take you home with me to use as a sheild." she stated and bolted off, running pretty fast for a person with a guy over their shoulder who was throwing a temper tantrum. At least it was fast enough to escape Mako.

Rex looked around, or at least attempted to in the darkness and realized he was in a part of town he probably couldn't find his house from. "Ummm.. Imp?" Imp looked over her shoulder at him. "Hmmm?" Rex chuckled nervously. "I don't think I can find my way home from wherever your headed." Imp snickered some. "Well then.. you'll have to camp out at my place huh?" she stated then started running up a set of stairs, taking them two at a time.

Rex sighed but was rather happy when he was put down, Imp just massaged her shoulder then took a set of keys our of her pocket and opened an apartment door. "... A4?" he read, and chacked to make sure he was reading it right. "Yup. Good thing you can read huh? Duel monsters would be rather hard if you couldn't."she teased then swung the door open.

After throwing her shoes in the closet, which Rex copied her figuring it was a rul ein her house or something, Imp ran over to the couch and flopped down for a minute before boucning straight back up to her feet and running to the next room over. "I have some leftover pizza... Want some?" she yelled to Rex in the other room. Rex snorted some. "Sure, why not?"

A few minutes later the psychopath red-head came back into the other room and handed Rex a plae witha few slices of pizza on it. "Sorry my place is so.... small... It's just me and the boys." Imp stated taking a framed-picture Rex hadn't even noticed before and laying it so the picture couldn't be seen, then sitting on the floor. Rex just gave her a wierd look. "Boys?" Imp nodded and grabbed a laser pen off the table and clocking her tongue a few times.

Almost instantly two cats came RUNNING into the room, a bigger one which was orange and white and a smaller which was black and looked like it had spilt milk all over itself. "The orange one's Gizmo and the black one's Basil." she clicked the pen so the laser came out and started making a trail across the floor which the cats automatically chased. "... Cats?" Rex said, not even intending to ask. "Yup! My boys are kitties!"



Without saying a word Imp handed the pen to Rex who continued to tease the cats while Imp walked to her bedroom. "I wonder if there'll be any strong duelists in Battle City?" She wondered aloud then entered her room and flopped down onher bed. Rex stared at where she had disapeared to for a moment then took his hat off and set it on the picture-frame before reclining on the couch and falling asleep.

**End chapter 1**

Lori: Well... ya like it any? This is just sort of a wierd question.. but which Yu-Gi-Oh character do you think Imp would get-together with? I already have... 3 suitors for her.. I just have to pick out of them... but I just wanna see what YOU all think.
