Chapter 1
Every teenager in Neo Domino city envied one girl and her name was Aki Izayoi.
To other people, she seemed to be one of the luckiest girls in the world. Her father, Hideo Izayoi, owned a company called Izayoi Corporation which became very successful. This automatically made her one of the richest girls in the world. Besides being very wealthy, she was also considered to be very beautiful and intelligent.
She had a slender frame and violet hair in which there are two long bangs that frame her face. She also has a unique hair accessory. But, what stood out the most were her eyes. They were brown and shaped like cat's eyes.
Basically, she was envied from all the girls and sought after from all the boys.
She was rich, beautiful, and smart but unlike what other people thought, she was not happy. No, she could be mad, sad, depressed, but never happy.
Ever since she was a baby, she hardly ever saw her parents. She was practically raised up by several different nannies and other caretakers who came in and went out of her life.
Whenever her parents actually did come back from a business trip, that could last for months, she felt as if she were with strangers but nonetheless she had loved them, but only for a while. They had never really shown much interest in their daughter or at least that's what she thought.
There was only one time in her life that she had felt happiness and that was when her father had given her the duel deck she had wanted for her fifth birthday. It was a plant themed deck.
Over the years, Aki had grown attached to the deck especially her Black Rose Dragon card but as soon as she had turned fifteen, her father told her to get rid of it.
Flashback
"Aki, get rid of that deck now!"
"But why, otou-san!", said a fifteen year old Aki. Her eyes were filled with tears and she was holding on to her deck as if her life depended on it.
"This is a children's game and you're not a child anymore." Hideo was walking out of Aki's room but before he went out he yelled, "The next time I come into your room, that deck had better be gone or so help me, I will personally throw them into the fireplace!"
"H-Hai otou-san."
End Flashback
What her father didn't know was that Aki had kept the deck in a box and hid it somewhere in her room where her father would never find it. She looked at the cards almost everyday for the past three years and today was no different.
Aki was fingering her Black Rose Dragon with fondness. It was her favorite card and her best friend even though it was an inanimate object. She told the card everything and only it knew her true self.
"I'm sorry Black Rose Dragon that I can't play with you anymore," said Aki while holding the beloved card up to her face. "Otou-san will get mad but then again, what do I care what he or Okaa-san thinks. But, he might throw you and the rest of the cards into the fire place like he promised and then I'll truly be alone."
Aki put the card down for a second to get the rest of the cards from the box. She laid them in front of her and started to pick up each card one by one until she had touched every single card in her deck.
It was what she did every single time she took her deck out. She would pick up each card, touch them, murmur their name, then put them back down. She always started with Black Rose Dragon and always ended with Black Rose Dragon.
When she had gone through her whole deck and picked up Black Rose Dragon for the last time, she said, "I might not be able to see you guys for a few days. Otou-san and Okaa-san are making me go to a school again. I don't get why I can't just keep being home schooled. They know what happens when I go to a new school, but they're making me go again. This just shows how much they care about how I feel."
Aki put the deck back into the box and hid it in her desk. She decided it was time to go to bed but she dreaded what would come the next day when she would have to attend her first day of school.
Author's note: So how was it? Do you think I should continue this? Please review! Also, this is an AU fanfic so there won't be that many references to dueling but there will be some.
