Duel (verb, noun): A fight between two people, or situation where two individuals compete while others watch.
Dueling. It had started of as simple game concept for children, then transformed into a worldwide phenomenon. Eventually, the majority of humans on the face of the earth owned at least one dueling card. Dueling decks became extremely accessible; sold in all stores everywhere. Competitions were made where the best duelers from around the world could come and showcase their talents.
However, there were pros and cons to dueling. Some individuals took the competitive aspect too far, and hurt the people they loved. It became obvious that the right to duel should not be given to everyone. In fear of the unknown, some began to petition for laws on making dueling safer, or for all dueling to be outlawed.
And all this, just for a game.
Eight year old Yusei closed the book, and looked around. He had been reading an excerpt from the encyclopedia to his three friends. They were all trying to figure out what the big deal about dueling was. All of their questions had been answered, and it was now time for comments.
Jack spat suddenly. Three shocked expressions stared back at him.
"Jack! You know how Martha feels about the spitting," Yusei warned quietly, as if Martha was in the room with them.
"I don't see her here right now," Jack retorted, and Yusei shrugged, his point defeated.
"I didn't like it either," Crow nodded towards Jack. "They say the majority of humans own a dueling card, but we've never even held one before."
"Well, then I guess we're just not part of that majority," Kalin scoffed.
Yusei eyed his friends. Each face showed anger and disappointment. "Well," he sighed, thinking of a way to lighten the mood. "we've just got to get ourselves a starters deck. Then we'd be part of the majority!"
The hard expressions in the room melted, and they all began to laugh. "Hey, maybe we could even win a dueling competition," Crow joked, and his friends laughed at his silly dream.
A/N: So, that's it. Did you like it, or nah? I'd really love to know. I'm not really sure if I should continue this, and do a couple more chapters on the 5ds gang getting together and just talking, or something like that...
Anyway, thanks for reading, and please review!
