Authors note: Ok, this is the first chapter of the first part of my trilogy, it's just 1 big story, but with 3 noticeable parts, which is why I did it as a trilogy. The first part is quite short, AND I OWN KALA-SOMA, my OC for the trilogy (others will be mentioned, but they are there to allow the story to flow) I do not own any of the cards, these are actual cards that exist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kala-Soma got out of the car and looked around, her parents had moved to Domino before her, to get the house ready, while she stayed with her aunt, who lived a few miles away. She was starting at Domino High in two days time, and she was not looking forward to it. The midday sun reflected off her hair, making it look like liquid silver, her amethyst eyes provided quite a contrast.
"Kala, you're here." Her mum was stating the obvious again.
"Hi mum, you ok?"
"I'm fine, you must be starving, get inside quick, I've some of the neighbours coming over tonight, you'll need to wash and get changed, they're having dinner, they have a son your age, I think his name's Bakura." Her mother continued, bustling her into the house. Kala-Soma found her room, it wasn't hard, it was in the attic like she had asked. Sunlight streamed through the skylight illuminating the white walls and wooden floor. Her bed was in a shadowy corner and her "library" was by the door. Right below the skylight, a box stood on her desk, she opened it out and pulled a small wooden chest out, she placed it on a table by her bed before opening it, she took a plain silver ring out and put it on, it instantly changed into a silver snake, coiled around her middle finger, it was definitely silver but it looked real from certain angles. Then she felt it, the familiar feel of magic, it was all around her in the atmosphere, maybe Domino wasn't as boring as she had thought, maybe she would see a ghost or two, or be able to levitate something for once. She looked at the ring and heard a familiar voice in the back of her mind: "Sure there's enough spare magic, but most of it's Shadow Magic, the stuff the Egyptians liked, I wouldn't mess with that."
She went over to her mirror and looked at the reflection closely, sure enough, her guardian was there, they looked alike, except the guardian had black hair and yellow eyes, opposite to Kala-Soma's White hair and violet eyes.
"And what would you know about Shadow Magic, Marishka, isn't that what go you stuck with me in the first place." she retorted in her mind, "Anyway, I can't use Shadow Magic, you need a Millennium Item to do that, and do I have one, no, but there's other magic I can use, or I can tap into it generally."
"I've told you before, the Snake is not a toy, some people will do anything t get their hands on it, and I'll have to help them, that's the curse." The spirit replied.
"Ok, ok, I'll see if I can find more out before doing anything, then I'll start small, but I need to get ready for this dinner."
"One thing, you won't like your school uniform: pink blazer, bow, pleated skirt."
Kala-Soma opened her wardrobe: "Great, pink is not my colour!"
In the evening, the guests arrived; Kala-Soma was sitting in her room when she sensed something different. She went to the top of the stairs to see her mother going to answer the door; they were here. She went into the dining room and waited, then a boy her age came in; he had messy white hair, which fell to his shoulders; brown eyes and he was wearing a white jumper and blue jeans.
"Hi," she said, noticing a spirit following him.
"Hi, I'm Bakura."
"Kala-Soma, did your parents force you to come?"
"No, I've been so bored over the holidays, I jumped at the chance to do something different, you going to Domino High?"
"Yeah, and do girls have to wear the blazers, it' just I hate the colour."
"'fraid so, they're really tough on it."
"Oh well." She noticed the spirit had gone and wondered what had happened to it, the resemblance between Bakura and the Spirit was quite worrying.
"If you like I can introduce to some of my friends when you start school, I'm sure you'll get on great with them."
"Thanks, ohh I need to ask this: do any strange things happen around here often?"
"As in?"
"Supernatural strange."
"All the time." Bakura replied, sounding more serious than before, "Why?"
"It's why we moved, where ever I went things just kept on happening, lights in the sky, floating objects and bodiless voices, does that kind of thing happen?"
"Not really, but what does is worse, there are huge consequences, fate of the world stuff."
"Well I should be ok, as long as the school lockers don't start eating people, like at my last school. I'm serious," she added seeing Bakura's face, "They were pulled out in the end, most of them couldn't remember what had happened to them, so it was ok in the end, but I don't think that was me."
"Ok, well . . ." but Bakura never got to say what he wanted to, since the adults came in and he and Kala-Soma were both bored by the conversation.
"Wanna go upstairs, just to talk, it's so boring down here."
She lead Bakura to her room and explained: "It's not ready yet, I want to paint it and most of the stuff is still in storage until we can get the rest of the house sorted."
"It's ok."
"Sit down on the bed if you like, word of warning about the chest on the table, I think it would do you some damage if you touched it, it can be quite temperamental at times."
"I see what you mean when you said strange things, I know the feeling. And to change the subject, do you duel?"
"My deck is in the chest, I'll give you a game now if you like."
"Sounds great."
They sat down on the floor and Kala-Soma pulled a rug out from under the bed. She then opened the chest with some difficulty and pulled out her duelling deck and smiled, "I'm not that good so go easy on me."
"Ok then, I'll let you go first. 4000 life points?"
"6000."
"Ok"
They drew their cards and Kala-Soma looked at her hand: Ultimate Offering, Reverse Trap, Rouge Doll, Black Pendant and Elegant Egotist. She drew her first card and got Harpie Lady 2.
"I play Rouge Doll in attack mode and equip it with my Black Pendant magic card which increases its attack by 500 to 2100." It was a good start.
"Not bad, now I place one monster face down on the field and one other card face down.
She considered the situation, drew a card: Witch of the Black Forest, and than said: "I play Harpie Lady 2 in attack mode then I play the magic card Elegant Egotist to summon the Harpie Lady Sisters to the field in attack mode. Harpie Lady 2 attack his face down monster."
"Looks like you triggered my morphing jar."
"Not quite, my Harpie's special ability stop all effects from monsters it destroys. Now Harpie Sisters and Rouge Doll attack his life points directly, that reduces your life points to 1950."
"Ok, my move, I activate the magic card Dark Hole, which destroys all monsters on the field. Then I play Mataza the Zapper in attack mode, his ability allows him to attack twice in the same turn, so you lose 2600 life points. Now you have 3400 life points. Your move."
Kala-Soma thought for a while before drawing: she drew her Sonic Bird and smiled, she had a plan that would wipe the floor with Bakura. I place Witch of the Black Forest in defence mode and end my turn."
"Mataza the Zapper, destroy her Witch of the Black Forest then attack her life points directly. That's 2100 now."
"And it doesn't matter, I use Witch of the Black Forest's special ability to take a monster with 1500 or less defence from my deck to my hand. She pulled her Relinquished from her deck and placed it in her hand. And is it my move?"
Bakura nodded and she smiled "I place Sonic Bird in attack mode, and because of its special ability I can take one ritual magic card from my deck to my hand, but I'm going to play it instead, so I play Black Illusion Ritual, and sacrifice my Sonic Bird to summon Relinquished to the field, then I use it's special ability to equip it with Mataza the Zapper and win the duel by attacking you life points directly."
"Oh well, it was a good duel, short but good. Should we head back down, see if they missed us."
"Yeah."
None of the adults had even realised they were gone, Kala-Soma wondered why, but was distracted when her mother said dinner was ready.
