Title: Trapped In The Cards
Chapter 1: New Challenge
Disclaimer:
TOF: Yay, another crossover! I've been working on this story for a while. I got this idea over summer vacation. And only recently started to write it.
Inu: Who cares? Can we just get this thing going?
TOF: Fine sheesh… anyway, I don't own anything to do with Inuyasha and Yu-Gi-Oh…except for a few movies, video games and posters. Now we can start!
Inu: Finally! You take forever!
TOF: Shut up!
Story: "Hey Yug!" shouted a blond by the name of Jou as he saw his tri-colored spiky haired friend walk into the parking lot for Kaiba's hotel, along with Anzu, Honda.
"Hey Jou." The shorter boy replied. "I can't believe that Kaiba is running another duelist competition."
"Why can't you? He still wants to beat you in a duel Yuugi." Pointed out Honda. "This is just another excuse to."
"That's true." He around then said. "A lot of duelists are here, some I've never seen before." He said, changing the subject.
"Yea." Agreed Jou. "Hey, there's Wheeble and Rex." Jou pointed to the two boys standing by the doors of the eight floor gray hotel. "And there's Mai and Lyon." The older blond woman and younger boy were chatting amongst the crowd of people.
Both Yuugi and Jou had gotten an invitation telling them that they were chosen along with many others to participate in Seto Kaiba's new tournament. They weren't sure about the details as the invitation card hardly had any. All they know is that it starts in a few days and will take place in the Domino Hotel. (I know crappy name)
As they look around, they can see some people trading cards, practicing and getting read for the start of the competition.
"I wonder when it's going to start." Said Anzu.
"Hey Yuugi!" the group of friends looked to their right and saw a young blond haired girl run over to them.
"Hi Rebecca," replied Yuugi. "are you in the tournament to?"
"Yes, but that's not why I'm here. There's a new duelist that-"
Jou cut her off. "If you haven't noticed, there are a lot of new duelists here."
"You didn't let me finish." The girl known as Rebecca complained.
"It's ok. So what were you saying about this new duelist?" asked Yuugi.
"Right now she's dueling someone…but her cards are weird."
"What do you mean weird?" asked Honda.
"She has these cards I've never seen before. I left to find you and see if you may know them." She directed this sentence at Yuugi.
"What kind of cards does she have?" asked Anzu.
"When I left, she had just played a card called 'Lord of the West'. Yuugi, have you ever heard of a card by that name?"
"'Lord of the West'? No I haven't." Yuugi answered thoroughly confused.
"She's still dueling, come on." informed Rebecca as she led them off to the middle of the empty parking lot. There they saw a crowd of people watching a practice duel. They pushed their way into the crowd until they stood in front, in full view of the duel.
At one end is a boy that looked to be about fourteen years old with short dark blond hair and light blue eyes. He currently had no monsters on the field as his opponent had just destroyed it with a monster that has long silver hair, golden eyes, and a sword in hand. It had markings on its face, a blue crescent moon on the forehead and two magenta strips on each cheek. It had pointed ears. The creature also wore white cloths and had a pelt over one shoulder.
"That's the card." Rebecca pointed to the white figure that was now identified as 'Lord of the West'.
The duelist on that side of the field looks to be the age of sixteen maybe seventeen. She has shoulder length layered dark brown hair with blond chunks and has hazel eyes. She wore baggy black cargo pants, and a loose black t-shirt that says 'Brat' on the front in white sparkly letters. For footwear, she wore simple black and white running shoes. On her one arm is a dueling disk with cards in hand.
She drew a card from the deck and smiled saying, "I think it's time to end this duel." She put the card face down into a slot and it appeared on the field flipping to face up. "I play a magic card called the 'Heavenly Fang'." Said magic card had a picture of what looked to be a rusty sword. "This card works like monster reborn. It allows me to bring back one creature from the graveyard." She told her opponent as the card glowed white. "And I choose to bring back a card that you destroyed. Come back, 'The Brave But Stubborn Hanyou'." The 'Heavenly Fang' card disappeared in a white light only for a figure in red with white hair, golden eyes and little puppy ears on his head to appear with a giant sword in hand.
-Attack points: 2300-
-Defense points: 900-
"I see what you mean by weird." Said Anzu to Rebecca.
"Yuugi, have you seen any of those cards before?" asked Honda.
"No. I never knew that these cards existed." Yuugi answered back.
//Yugi…// came a deep voice from Yugi's mind.
/Yes Pharaoh?/
//That girl with those odd cards…do you sense her aura?// the spirit asked.
/Kind of./
//Her cards also hold strange auras…// he continued.
/I can kind of sense something…/ Yuugi told the spirit pharaoh then went back to watching the duel.
"Now my hanyou attack and wipe out his life points." She shouted as the red figure attacked, slashing his sword through the opponent, wiping out his 500 life points.
The duel ended, the holograms disappearing. The girl silently put her deck into the holder around her waist, picked up two suitcases that were sitting beside her, walking away while fully ignoring the crowds whispered about her and/or her cards.
The crowd disappeared leaving Yuugi, his friends and Mokuba who had also been watching the duel.
"Mokuba…" called Yuugi as they ran over and stopped in front of the younger Kaiba.
"Hey you guys." He replied, and then continued. "I guess you guys saw that duel huh." He said more than asked.
"Yea, do you know anything about her?"
"Of course. While Seto was planning the competition itself, he asked myself and some other workers to find out information on all the duelists so we don't have any more 'problems'."
"We noticed a lot of new players that we've never seen or heard of before."
"Yeah, we wanted to see if there are other duelists out there with enough talent to be the best. But anyway, you wanted to know about that girl that just dueled right?"
"That's right." Said Anzu.
"Well, for starters is her name. It's Skyler Bearin. She's a champion duelist on her home island. Never lost a duel, except to her older brother who apparently taught her the game."
"What else did you get?" asked Jou, his curiosity growing.
"Mostly things that we heard from the islanders. Such as, she lives on a small shrine in the middle of an island city. She's the middle child of three. And her older brother has been missing for a year." Mokuba informs them.
"What about her duel monster cards? I've never seen cards like those." Commented Yuugi.
"We have people looking into that, but they're not fake. If they were, our duel disk system would have picked up on it. Those are real cards. Now we're just trying to figure out where she got them from." The younger Kaiba told them.
"So when does the tournament start?" asked Anzu changing the subject.
"It starts the day after tomorrow. Yuugi, you and Jou are sharing a room on the third floor, room number 3301. Rebecca, you're on the forth floor in room 4102. The rest of you need to head home, everyone else is already heading into their hotel rooms." With that said, Anzu and Honda said their goodbyes then left while Mokuba entered the hotel.
"Come on Yug, let's go." Jou, Yuugi and Rebecca entered the hotel, which seemed to be rather crowded. They found an elevator, and headed up to their floors.
Yuugi and Jou said goodbye to Rebecca and got off on the third floor. The two friends walked down the hall until they came to room 3301 and entered.
'It seems that we have a new challenge…I guess it's time to duel!'
To be continued…
TOF: First chapter's done!
Inu: And we care why?
TOF: I'm just saying…anyway, to do the ending is…Yuugi!
Yuugi: Tenshi thanks you for reading her story and says that she'll love you all more if you review…
Inu: As would we, so she doesn't rant about not having reviews.
TOF: I do not rant!
Inu: Sure you don't. You just keep on believing that."
TOF: I'll get you later. Anyway, R&R!
