The Meeting between Uncle and Niece

"Director, there is someone in the shadows," Mikage Sagiri drew Rex Goodwin's attention from the blank monitor of Jack Atlas and Yusei Fudo's duel to a smaller monitor that required less power. Sure enough, a figure was slipping through the stands of the duel stadium,

"Zoom in," he ordered,

"Yes sir," the image zoomed in on the figure, can't be! Goodwin thought to himself. The light blond hair and bronze colored skin was unique to only to his brother. When the figure turned, almost as if they knew where the camera was, dark, intense blue-green eyes glowed with fire. The girl, for her features were definitely feminine if her figure didn't give her gender away, slipped into the shadows beyond the reach of the cameras.

"Sir?" Jaeger inquired,

"Nothing. Leave the woman be for now,"

A chorus of 'what's followed Goodwin out the room. How did she get here? Did she ride with Yusei Fudo? That girl was undoubtedly His brother's only child and daughter, Darren. Her coloring was unique, in her light blond hair and slightly darkened bronze skin combined with the dark green-blue eyes of her mother.

Goodwin knew Darren didn't know anything about her family. Just to confirm Darren was who he knew she was Goodwin planned on looking up her file in the Satellite residents list. Lo and behold, she was for sure Rudger's daughter.

It was raining out. Storm grey clouds turned white with the occasional flash of distance lightning while the earth faintly trembled with the force of the approaching thunder. "Darren Fudo, you get your butt in this house this instant!" a woman's voice sounded over the thunder.

"Hey, mister, aren't you cold?" a little girl, old enough to speak but not fluently,

"Yes I'm fine," Goodwin, "Better hurry you're going to get into trouble," he gently pushed the rebellious child in the direction of the house, and he slipped away before the child could turn around.

This is the first time Goodwin has seen his niece since he moved to New Domino City. Only three times now, has he seen his niece but she didn't know it. The first time was when her parents were still alive, and she was a week old infant. The second time was during that stormy night in the Satellite when she was at least four years old. Now, here she was, eighteen years old, a legal adult who just busted into New Domino City. Without a marker, he wasn't going to be able to find her that easily, but using all the resources available to him, he will find her.

Darren looked around casually, as if she was people watching when really she was watching for security. A brief, seemingly vacant glance behind her revealed her D-Wheel hidden in a clump of bushes. Touching the belt at her waist, Darren summoned her Mirage spell card to conceal her D-Wheel so only she could see and touch it. Not having to observe her surroundings over much due to her abilities as a psychic duelist.

Her abilities weren't limited to just making her cards reality, but also being able to hear the thoughts of the people surrounding her. As useful as the mind reading was, Darren hated it. Never was there a moment of quiet peace for her unless she was dueling. Her strongest cards that she could use, Celestial Dragon, Diamond Wyvern and Metallic Phoenix somehow formed a seal that kept her mind reading locked down during a duel, but the instant the duel was over she could hear the thoughts around her again.

"Excuse me miss," A figure wearing a hat and sunglasses even though it was nighttime inquired, "Can I help you?"

"No sir," Darren didn't hear anything from the man, the tone of his mind's voice was undeniably male, the same way male and female spoken voices had differences in tone,

"Well, you can help me," he inserted, letting his thoughts flow,

Darren's eye widened, Rex Goodwin, the director of security in New Domino City was speaking to her, and he knew how she got here, "Why don't you come with me, I would like to talk to you,"

"We can talk here," Darren edged away carefully,

"True. You can read minds,"

Unable to hide her reaction, Darren's head jerked slightly, "How do you know?" lying wasn't her strong point."I've known since you were born,"

"How…" Rex Goodwin showed her an image of an infant in a woman's arms and voices "So this is your daughter Kaida? She looks a lot like you,"

"No, she takes after her father," the woman's voice insisted stubbornly. The infant shifted, and Roana's head lowered, and seemed to be holding a conversation.

Astonishment shot through Darren: this man was her uncle! Yusei was her cousin by blood.

Goodwin smiled, "Until the Fortune Cup, I suggest you stay with me,"

"Fortune Cup?"

"I won't explain it until the tournament starts," even his thoughts were guarded.

The mansion was huge, and Darren knew she was going to be lost. The expansive land however, was another matter. Even in the moonlight the garden was beautiful. Goodwin just showed her to the room she would be staying in, and left her alone. The room was on the ground floor and offered a beautiful view of the garden and the lights of New Domino City in the background. Her D-Wheel was parked in the garage.

Sitting on the window couch, Darren thought about the revelation of her family. Rex Goodwin is her uncle, Yusei is her blood cousin. Kaida was the twin of Yusei's father; no wonder she and Yusei were mistaken to be siblings by everyone including themselves! It was nice, knowing she has a true blood tie to Yusei, but also kind of sad that they weren't actually siblings.

Moving from the window seat, Darren ran a hand over the fine cotton sheets of the bed. It was plain, but made of real high quality wood and feather mattress with a goose down comforter. All this luxury was foreign to Darren, and even if she had been raised with this luxury, she still would avoid it as much as possible. The feel of the soft bed made her realize just how tired she actually was; the stress from Ushio's pursuit of Yusei into the pipe line and the duel between Yusei and Jack had been intense. The image of the red dragon that had materialized shimmered in her mind's eye, and continued to do so even after she fell asleep. The prescence she had felt from it was powerful and confusing as it was beyond anything she has ever heard and experianced.

Rex Goodwin as well retired to his room, but his thoughts were full of the comparisons between Darren, Rudger, Kaida and her aunt and uncle. At first glance, it seemed Darren took after her father in appearance, but she only had his coloring and part of her hair style, where it flared downward from the head and was just as long. On closer inspection, Darren actually looked a lot like her mother, Kaida, in appearance. Her face shape was identical to her mother's along with her build; slim and compact. Through her mother, Darren was similar to her uncle, Dr. Ryuu Fudo. Kaida and Ryuu Fudo were twins, identical except for gender and personality. Darren's personality seems to mostly stem from the Fudo family: calm and cunning like her uncle, but cheerful and energetic like her mother. But that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg as Darren seemed to have more depth than the ocean at its deepest point. However, it was apparent she is even more brilliant than her father and possibly even her uncle, Dr. Ryuu Fudo, who had developed the first Momentum. Conflict seems consistent in her, joy and anger, peace and conflict, but there was a consistency of unstoppable determination, reluctant benevolence and friendliness. Goodwin couldn't wait to learn more about his niece.
