Chapter 1:

*Emiko's POV*

The sounds of my alarm clock awakens me from my slumber. My Yami is in her usual spiritual form, still sleeping peacefully next to me. I smiled softly down to her before I get out of our shared queen sized bed.

My morning routine goes by as usual when I return to the bedroom with a towel around my pale skinned body and long black as night hair. I place the Domino High's girl uniform on the neatly made bed. Why does the school wants me to wear such colors? I don't know why, but Yami and I don't like it.

Yami soon awakens when I got most of my clothing on. Black tights on my legs under the skirt.

"How was your rest?" she asked me, sleepily, sitting up.

"It was alright," I answered, brushing my hair into it's usual style of being down. "How did you sleep?"

"Same as yours." Her matching river blue eyes look at the pink blazer with disgust as well.

"I know I know," I sighed, putting on a little eyeliner around my eyes and mascara.

"Why can they allow you wear your normal clothing the one that looks similar to this one?"

"Rules are made for a reason," I finished up with the makeup. Then I thought of something with a smile, "How about tonight, we can dress up and go for dinner to make it a little girls' night?"

"You know what," she smiles back, "that will be lovely."

"Awesome," I smiled more.

The Millennium Headpiece sits perfectly on my head, physically connecting me with Yami. I place on the pink blazer, finishing the uniform, before carrying my bookbag. School shoes on my feet and the small apartment gets locked up.

My breakfast is usually from a small cafe that I can take to go on my journey towards the high school. Which I always do everyday.

The school day goes by rather slow and rather boring. Not that I dislike school, it's just I already know everything here from my master Shadi's schooling. The moment that I arrived back home, the uniform is changed into the perfect uniform for me.

Black leggings under a black and white plaid skirt that went above my knees with a matching plaid necktie around my neck. Long sleeved collared shirt and a black blazer with white trimmings.

"Much, much better," I chuckled with Yami.

"Indeed," she smiles.

"Now I need to do homework before we head out."

Homework always get done within fifteen minutes.

"When will Shadi come back?" Yami asked me when I was putting everything away.

"He says he will return by the end of this week." It's Wednesday now.

"Hopefully things will be okay till then."

"Yea I am getting tired of the same old thing everyday."

"Same here."

After an amazing night of us girls, we head back home late at night. As we grew closer, a strong feeling appears to us causing me to stop in my tracks. Yami and I look at each other confused before hurrying over to the door of the apartment.

"Emiko look," Yami says, pointing something by the door.

I look to see a package with my name and address and no return address. I take it inside still having my name. 'Emiko Heiwa' staring back at me. Yami and I look at it curiously as my pale hands open it. Inside shows a glove with a wrist band that has roles shaped like stars. Two stars next to it and below it has a small stack of cards.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I don't know."

The cards are different purposes, but all linked into one. From what we can get out of it, a tournament is being held by the creator of the game himself for a prize of either of three million dollars or the Glory of the King's Opposite Hand. There's a boat ride for the chosen people of the tournament leaving within a few days, possibly around the time that Shadi will be returning to us. All of the rules are simple within the glove card and the location of the tournament in another.

"Should we join?" Yami asked me, looking at me.

I didn't answer at first, trying to figure out an answer.

"Maybe Shadi can help out," she suggested.

"You think so?" I asked, looking back at her.

"Yes, tonight let's connect him and he will give us an answer."

Later that night, my mind connects with my master Shadi into a spiritual realm that we can talk about anything whenever he's not around.

"Master?" I call out into the darkness.

"Yes child?" Shadi asks, appearing in front of me.

"Master, there is a dueling tournament that I was invited to. There will be a boat ride to the island under the ownership of the creator of the game, Maximillion Pegasus."

"Awe yes, the owner of the Millennium Eye."

"Should I accept the invitation? And also will it be dangerous if the two Millennium Items will cross paths?"

"Yes it will be dangerous for two or more of the Items to come paths, but you have the spirit of with Millennium Headpiece to protect you. But remember this my child, always stay your ground and don't give into the darkness and fear."

"I understand Master."

"Also here," he gives me a deck of duel monsters. "Use these cards during the tournament and the future." I accepted them. "I specially select these cards for you to use. Believe in your cards and be true to yourself and who you are."

"Thank you Master," I smiled to him.

"You're welcome Emiko," he smiles back.
