This is one of the stories I transferred over from my other website. (visit my profile for full details) You see, OCxCharacter pairings were fairly popular among their fanfiction stories and it was common for one to write a detailed profile for their OC before starting the story itself. Be aware that this was one of my very EARLY fanfictions! So excuse me if the writing is a bit…well, 'off'.

Hahaha...since SO many people have taken my Yu-Gi-Oh! GX multiple question poll more than any of my other Yu-Gi-Oh! polls I thought it'd be necessary to make a story about it too! :)

The results in the poll were so tight that I'm going to write this story differently to anything else. I'm going to make you get multiple mini-crushes on all of them! :D
Well...not exactly.
You see it's going, to be like one of them things where the character is stuck between a decision where she can't simply choose who she really wants to be with.

(hence 'OC otome' fic. I didn't know what else to call it .;;)

Please go easy on me, I'm not a genius with the duels and I'll be making it up as I go. Originals haven't always been my thing, but I am going to do my best.

AND you'll figure out Knightley's personality when you read the story. ;)

I have FINALLY gathered up the strength to write out this story. My internet's getting disconnected soon so I might not be on for a while. My Chrono Crusade stories are holding me back too! By the way, when I put words in italics and in brackets, that means the OC is "(thinking)", okay?

Encounter (part 1)

I hung up my cellphone and ran out of the house.

"I'm late I'm late!"

Clinging to the shoulder bag I wore I sped down towards the end of the block when suddenly.

*CRASH*

I was pushed back on impact, something ran into me as soon as I had reached the corner. I sat up and rubbed my backside.

"Hey!" I shouted, "WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE...go..ing..."

"Sorry about that. You alright?" said the good-looking boy I'd just bumped into.

"I..uh..well..uh…" I started to blush. "(Hey...he's kinda...)"

The boy stood up, dusted himself down and held out his hand to me.

"Need some help there?" he said.

I silently took his hand and got up, I couldn't stop gazing into his eyes...until something made that gaze get drawn away.

"Uh - is that a duel disk?" I asked him.

"Yeah! " he answered instantly, "So, you into dueling too?"

I rolled my eyes as I thought about what to say. "(Duel Monsters?! No way!)Um..well..not really..."

"Aw, that's a shame. Y'know if you had a deck…"

While I was thinking, I remembered my little brother who was also into dueling. "Uh – yeah – I have a deck!"

"Great!" he said, "So are you on your way to Duel Academy?"

I stared at him. "You mean that duel-based school on an island in the middle of no-where?"

That's when he looked at his watch and said, "I gotta go. So I'll see you at Duel Academy?"

"...Right." Was all I could say, then "OH! Where are my manners, my name's Knightley, Knightley Afura."

"It was nice meeting you Knightley." He replied, "I'm Jaden, Jaden Yuki."

"Heh...I'll..see you later." I said to him.

"Catch ya!" he said before turning away.

With that he ran off and disappeared around the next corner. I kept standing there in complete flattery.

"(So now what?)" I thought to myself, "(Oh, I just have to see him again...and even steal my brother's deck. But how will I do that?)"

I gasped.

"(Duel Academy, I must find a way into Duel Academy.)"

I began looking for the nearest bulletin board. I walked around the bulletins and searched for the cruise ship departing times.

"AH! There it is!"

I went over and ran my finger across the timetable looking for a cruise ship labeled Duel Academy or something similar. Within 10 minutes of effort, I found it.

"10am, wharf 8, TOMORROW?"

I had to be ready, get my luggage packed...find a job there that'll hide my dislike for Duel Monsters. I soon forgot all about what I was late for and ran all the way back home.

.....

That night after dinner, I took out my suitcase, unzipped it and pulled it wide open.

"Let's see...my PJ's, my underwear, my tomorrow clothes, my laptop-for researching, trashy mags…"

I quickly shoved them into the back pocket of the suitcase. That was everything, except…

"Everything except my brother's deck!"

I stared blankly at my packed suitcase and backpack as I thought of how to take it from him. Asking him wouldn't be the smartest thing to do, seeing as he'd definitely say no.

I sighed. "Looks like there's no other way."

I walked out of my room and continued down the well-lit hallway. I reached my brother's room, took a deep breath, held the door handle, and pushed it open. The door opened with a creak and I peeked in to see my brother asleep in his bed.

"(Easy now...)"

I tip-toed over to his desk and searched for his deck, the hallway light being the only light-source I could rely on. My brother turned over in his sleep making me freeze until he was still again. I looked in his drawer and finally found it. Holding it in my hand I tip-toed out of his room and quietly shut his door. I looked at the deck of cards in my hand and sighed in relief, it was his deck, not the playing cards. I went back into my room and examined the cards in it. I knew what his best card was…the Red Eyes Black Dragon.

I readied my backpack and suitcase next to my door and went to bed, half-panicking about how I would disguise my dislike for Duel Monsters tomorrow, since I was going to a school full of dueling pros and fanatics.

.....

I ate my breakfast early, flung my backpack over my shoulder, grabbed my suitcase and went downstairs. I was about to reach the front-door when my mom interrupted.

"Knightley, where do you think you're going?"

I froze and my eyes widened as I tried thinking of a good excuse that would last for a month or two.

"Mom...I told you I'm going to stay at my friends house for study purposes." I said at last.

"For how long?" she asked.

"Uh...the subject I'm studying takes a LOT of work to complete so I'll be away for a month or two?"

"What subject is it?"

I thought hard of what subject wouldn't make her worry.

"…Textiles?" I answered hesitantly.

Mom gasped. "For a month or two?"

"Um...yes?"

"It must be a VERY high class area of Textiles you're working in. I'm so proud of you!"

She squealed and went over to hug me.

"I know! It's so cool!" I said, hoping she believed me.

She walked me to the front door with her arm around me.

"I'm so excited for you," she was saying, "Now you do your very best and study hard, okay?"

"I will." I replied

My brother came down the stairs at this point.

"Mom, where's Knightley going?" he asked.

"Morning, Kent." I greeted my brother casually, "(Boy, he's up early today.)"

"She's going to become a famous fashion designer!" mom answered his question.

"Ugh...that's corny." He said.

"Unlike you, all over your fantasy card game thing-thing..." said mom.

"It's called Duel Monsters, mom!"

Mom ignored him and turned back to me.

"Be a good girl and take care of yourself,alright?"

I nodded. "Mm-hm."

"You don't believe me? I'll show you my deck." My brother said and ran upstairs to his room.

"(Oh, crap!)" I quickly turned and left, waving goodbye. "Bye mom!"

"Bye sweetie!"

.....

On the way to wharf 8 where the ship would be departing, I called a friend on my cellphone letting them know that I was going away for a month or two.

"But you HATE Duel Monsters." She said.

"I know, but I can't help myself." I replied, "I want to see Jaden again."

"Okay Knightley, follow your instincts if you have to, just be careful though. He might not be the only cute guy they have there."

I paused and thought about what she'd said. "You know what, you're right. This is the right chance for me to meet more guys!"

My friend groaned in disbelief. "Whatever, just know what you'll be getting yourself into. And take care, okay?"

She hung up. I looked over at wharf 8 and found a LOT of boys waiting there by the cruise ship. I took a deep breath, and then a step forward.
