Chapter One – I am ... where?!
I yawned as I stretched my arms out, I glanced at the digital clock to see it was 2-D. As was everything else in my bedroom. Wait … WHAT?! This was not my room! It was all a creamy colour.
I stood up quickly and looked out of the window to see a sunny morning in Japan, it reminded me a lot of Domino City.
"Good morning, Chloe," It sounded like Ishizu from my favourite anime Yu-Gi-Oh!
"Uh good morning to you too," I replied, still very very puzzled.
"I know why you are acting like this, yes you have come to our dimension but you actually belonged here in the first place. Yet when mother was having you, Odion told me that you somehow never arrived," She explained to me and I stared at her, but what about Malik? "At first mother and father thought it was nothing and then a few minutes Malik was born, but a few years later me and Odion found out that you had gone to the wrong world, and last night Odion had found a spell book which held a spell of transportation to go or come back from a dimension, he secretly gave the book to me and I tried it, I hope you are okay now." Ishizu said.
I nodded then pinched my arm in case, I felt a tiny sting of pain but I understood that I was not dreaming at all. Ishizu smiled, she was amused at my behaviour but remained silent, watching me.
I suddenly stared at my arm in shock, it was tanned, like I had lived in Egypt for my whole life!
"Cool..." I said to myself smiling, then I looked up at Ishizu.
"So... how old am I?" I asked her as she looked at me.
"You are 18, the same age as Malik, and if you would like you could pick yourself a new name, or stick with Chloe?" Ishizu told me the two options.
"You pick onee-san," I insisted her and she smiled at her new nick name I gave her.
"Okay, how about Femi?" She suggested and I smiled wider.
"That sounds really nice, thanks onee-san!" I hugged Ishizu and then when I let go I asked her, "So are Malik and Odion out and about, you know being rare hunters and stuff at the moment?" I asked her and she nodded sadly.
"Sadly yes, the last time I saw them was back in Egypt, Malik had got hold of two of the god cards, Winged Dragon of Ra and Slifer The Sky Dragon." She explained to me and I frowned.
"But you do know who is going to get the other cards?" I inquired her with another question.
"Yes, I've recently given Seto Kaiba the CEO of Kaiba Corporation, Obelisk. Seto Kaiba is starting the tournament tonight but I do not have to go there and enter this morning because he has already done that for me," She clarified.
"Though, if you wanted to, you could enter yourself at lunch," She offered.
"Nah, but when the Tournament begins can I watch your duels? I like observing things." I asked and she nodded, then she went into her pocket and took out a bracelet with strange little charms on it.
"This bracelet has a charm on it which will help defend and keep you safe in case Malik tries using his Millennium Rod on you," Ishizu put it around my left wrist and patted it.
"Oh! I almost forgot, you'll need some spare clothes, we'll go out today at lunch okay? For now you can have one of my old tops and trousers," She said and then left 'my' room.
I sighed and sat on 'my' bed, 'So at the moment I am in season 4, and Odion and Ishizu know who I am but Malik won't yet...' I thought to myself.
Then Ishizu came back in holding a white top and jeans.
"Femi, you can see if these fit you, if they don't just yell, I'll be downstairs," she told me then left again.
I then started getting dressed, and luckily the clothes fitted me fine.
'I wonder what would happen if Malik found out I existed now?' I asked myself as I laid my pyjamas neatly on the white comfortable bed. Then I walked downstairs to see Ishizu sitting on a chair, she stood up and walked to me.
"I'll drive you there, if you get lost or something happens ring me on this," She handed me an Iphone which had smoky purple colours shaded all over it. I smiled, then we went outside and into Ishizu's car.
I observed the street names and places.
The car slowed down in a small drop off,
"See ya later Ishizu," I waved goodbye, she drove off and I started wandering around the city.
I stopped at a clothes shop and walked inside.
There were many types of clothes. Short tops, long tops, shirts, skirts, trousers, jeans, tracksuit bottoms, mini-skirts, frilly dresses, spaghetti strap tops and all sorts. At the back were even shoes, boots, heels, sandals, flat shoes and well loads of kinds.
I looked at the tops and got three different types. A short sleeved purple top with black stars on the small collar and a black cardigan to put on over it. The second kind I got a long sleeved white top which had black stars on it too. The third top I got had short sleeves and it was green, it had little designs on the bottom and around the neck which looked like letters or something.
I also bought two pairs of jeans, a pair of purple trainers and black shoes.
I then left the shop and decided to get some lunch at a local burger place called 'Burger World'.
I ordered chips and a diet cola, and ate in silence, watching people around me. I then started looking outside and spotted Yami Bakura with his Millennium Ring, one of the golden dangling things pointed to the museum and another at me, he stared at me strangely, our eyes locked for the moment, me being startled.
I felt uneasy and left my food, quickly leaving the fast food building.
Luckily Bakura had gone off to the museum, so I could quickly ring Ishizu and give her a warning about him.
She had thanked me then I hang up and walked to Domino Park where I sat on a bench.
My thoughts went to the museum, I felt like going there to see the exhibits except for the Ancient Egypt part because Bakura might be down there still.
Before I could think anything else, my feet started walking towards the Domino Museum.
But I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Joey run out from the alley. He looked pretty beaten up. Malik must of got his rare hunters to get Joey's Red eyes.
He stopped just then looking very exhausted and it was a good chance to talk to him.
"Uh are you okay?" I asked him concernedly.
"Guys in purple … hoods stole my … red eyes card... and beat me … up..." He tried telling me, but kept puffing heavily.
"Is there any way I could help you?" I asked him and he shrugged then looked up at me. "Do you have a... phone that I could use for a... sec?" He asked, I went through my bag and got it out. "Thanks," He said before dialling a number and then he started speaking with the person on the other line.
"Thanks Tristan," He said to the person on the phone.
He then hung up and gave me my phone back. Suddenly a guy turned up on his motorbike.
"Whoa Joey, it looks like you've been in a war or something!" He said before getting the boy onto his bike so he could drive off after thanking me.
'That is pretty low, hurting an innocent person just to get a card made of paper.' I thought unhappily as I carried on walking to the Domino Museum.
When I walked inside, I saw Ishizu and she spotted me.
"Have you finished shopping?" She asked me as I walked up to her.
"Yeah, oh and er just as I was coming here I saw a boy who told me some rare hunters had stolen his red eyes and beaten him up," I admitted and she frowned.
"Oh how much Malik has changed..." She said quietly to herself.
"As long as Odion stays around him he won't go too low, otherwise I think worse things could happen," I reminded her and she nodded.
"We should stay here for now because the tournament is starting soon," She told me while we both started walking to her office since she worked at the museum, I gazed around surprised at all of the artefacts and stuff.
We both took a seat and I showed Ishizu the things I bought.
After what seemed like forever, Ishizu went outside and I followed her to see Kaiba was announcing the start of the Battle City Tournament. Suddenly duelists started dueling people or looking around.
"Hey granny! I challenge you to a duel!" A 12 year old boy shouted as he ran up to Ishizu, I frowned he sure had a big mouth to say such a fat lie.
Despite how rude he was being, Ishizu accepted the challenge and got her duel disk ready.
The duel had lasted 8 or so minutes and Ishizu walked up to the boy. He gave her his locator card and rare card regretfully then ran off to who knows where. Me and Ishizu were then on the move once again in search for more duels.
After Ishizu had another duel with someone she decided that we should go back to her apartment and carry on tomorrow.
