I don't own Yugioh T_T
Yes I own Toria...Because I own me ^_^
Yes Toria is Wiccan...just like me. Get over it.
Without further ado, here it is!

"Wow, an American student?" whispered Yugi to Tea as the new girl stood in front of the classroom, her hands clasped tightly in front of her school uniform. Her bright violet eyes stared back at the classroom, flaring both purple fire and cold amethyst ice. The sunlight caught her long dark black blue hair, filtering down to the silver pentacle around her neck.
"Yeah," whispered Tea. "Her dad came over from San Francisco to get information from KaibaCorp. He works for Microsoft or something."
The teacher gave them an icy look, slicing through the whispering, and said clearly, "This is Toria Hallowell. She's our newest student. Now Toria, why don't you have a seat next to Tea?" She winked at Tea, mentally ticking her off as her best student and a good influence. She'd heard some of these American girls got pretty wild and caused a lot of trouble. "I'm sure you two can get to know each other." Toria slid into the seat, smiling faintly at Tea. Tea was suddenly gripped by the power and personality radiating from the girl's body, a glowing aura of light and darkness blended together. But still, she felt no danger – and Tea was good at sensing danger. So, after a moment's thought, she turned to the raven-haired girl and smiled warmly.
"Hi, I'm Tea Gardener."

Toria fit right in with the rest of the gang – it turned out that she took after her dad in the computer business, as a white rabbit hacker. Tea, Yugi, Joey, and Tristan immediately latched on to the strange new American student, inducting her into their gang by inviting her to hang out on the steps with them after school.

Yugi and Joey immediately flipped out Duel Monsters cards as Tea and Toria chatted about American fashion. "So denim is really in, huh Toria?" asked Tea dubiously. She fingered her fuku skirt thoughtfully. Maybe some denim fabric around the base, if she could get it to fold up for school – she looked up. Toria wasn't listening. She was bent over Joey and Yugi's duel, eyes darting back and forth across the field.
"Oh no, not another one," joked Tristan, as he too noticed her intense violet eyes boring into the cards.
"I play Baby Dragon in defense mode!" cried Joey, slapping down the orange tumbling dragon. Toria gave a musing smile as she watched Yugi's cards.
"I wouldn't do that, if I were you," she said softly, looking Joey straight in the eye. Her gaze was so cold and yet so warm, so straight and sturdy and unnerving, that Joey barely blinked, trying to register what had just happened. Suddenly he dashed back to look at his duel.
"Oh NO!" he yelped suddenly, clutching at hanks of his thick blonde hair. "Yugi's two monsters can wipe me out!" Yugi called the attack.
"Celtic Guardian, attack his Baby Dragon!" Joey yowled in frustration as his life points fell to zero.
"Wow, you know how to duel too?" asked Tristan.
"Yeah," smiled Toria. "American monsters are a little different, but the basic idea is the same."
"What's your favorite card?" asked Yugi with interest, reshuffling his deck.
She gave an uncharacteristic giggle, reaching for the loose silver scarf at her waist. She pulled a card from a hidden pocket in the scarf and elegantly flipped it face forward to the group.
"It's rather ironic. My favorite card is the Witch of the Black Forest." It was true – the faces did seem awfully similar. The eyes both flared purple fire. She struck the same pose as the witch on the card, in profile, and Tea suddenly saw a faintly glowing image of a tawny feather in her hair and a green jewel on her forehead. But when she blinked again, it was gone, leaving the ordinary, if extraordinary, girl before them.
"Oh, dat card," said Joey in recognition. "I've seen dat card before somewhere."
"Yeah," agreed Tristan. "Where have we seen it?"
"I know where it is," said Yugi darkly. "Kaiba's got a card like that."
"Kaiba? Who's Kaiba? As in KaibaCorp Kaiba?" asked Toria, her violet eyes darkening under her eyebrows.
A husky, dark voice sounded from behind them.
"Allow me to introduce myself."

Warning: This is going to be a story with actual dueling!!! Not that I'm a rockin' duelist, but I try XD
Anyway...R&R, Chapter 2 coming soon...
