Author's note: I do not own any of the characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! except for my personal OC, this is also my first fanfic so please read it with that in mind. Also, to those of you who are wondering, there will be pairings and hinting at sexual relationships, but I don't want to go into detail about it right now. So, without any further ado *coughprocrastinatingcough* the story shall now begin.

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Girl

The sun was sinking into the horizon, and the sky had taken on a warm hue slowly getting darker as it sunk lower and lower with the passing of time. The girl sat on the bench and stared up at the sky admiring the beauty that came with the sunset. After about ten minutes of staring at the sky she decided it was time to look for a place to stay for the night, not knowing where to go though seeing as how she was unfamiliar with the area she now found herself in. As she looked around she realized that she was in a park, the color coming from the sky seemed to make the area around her look enchanted as it slowly got darker. She sat there wondering how long it would take for her to leave, seeing as how she didn't remember how she had gotten there in the first place.

As she went to stand up a sudden wave of dizziness took over her, and forced her back down on the bench. She felt extremely exhausted and could feel a migraine coming on as she tried once again to stand up, this time using the bench for support. 'I must be getting sick' she thought silently to herself as she finally managed to stand without support from the bench. The girl picked up the bag that was with her, it was a backpack with some clothes, a large sketchbook, a dueling deck, and a letter in it. She could no longer remember why she had the bag, but she kept it with her no matter what since it seemed to be the only thing she had from her past other than her dragon shaped necklace. The necklace shimmered in several different colors from the gemstones that it was made of. There was only one thing she knew about it, and that was the fact that it was important to her, even though she didn't know why that was.

She willed her body to move so she could look for the exit and find a place to rest for the night before she continued wandering around the world without a specific destination in mind. As she was walking, rather unsteadily mind you, she heard a commotion close by and let her curiosity get the best of her and she started heading in that direction. What she found when she got there were a bunch of what looked like a small group of high schoolers picking on a younger boy who looked like he was only in about middle school if she had to guess. It was obvious that he was being bullied since he appeared to be cornered. As she got closer, she noticed more features about the boy that she hadn't while at a distance, he was wearing a blue and white striped long sleeve shirt with a yellow vest over it, and jeans as well. He had longish black hair, and had pale dark grey eyes, and a necklace that appeared to have a Duel Monsters card attached to it.

As she got close to the group, the child noticed her out of the corner of his eye and turned his head to look at her. The group noticed he was no longer looking at them, so they turned their gaze to the slowly approaching figure, and by now she was just a mere ten feet away from them.

"Well would you look at that, it seems that this little girl would like to play with us as well." The apparent leader remarked as the girl stopped a few feet in front of them. He said it all with a smirk that she really didn't care for. Now that the group got a good look at her, they were able to get a better look at her physical features. She had long hair that just barely reached the ground, although she had some of it up in a ponytail, and bangs that covered her left eye in such a way so that you couldn't see it. The eye that they could see was a deep sapphire color that seemed to glimmer from behind her glasses. She was slightly shorter than an average high school first year student, but her eyes held a sort of wisdom behind them that made her seem older.

"Sorry but we're a little busy with this little twerp right here, that is, unless you came here to get him from us." This time one that was slightly shorter than the leader spoke out, and at this point the girl was beginning to grow irritable because of the migraine that was growing stronger from the sound of their annoying voices.

"You should get out of here before they start attacking you as well, it would be stupid of you to get beat up on my behalf." The young boy added, and just as he finished speaking he got a blow to the stomach and he fell to the ground while clutching his stomach in pain.

"Nobody gave you permission to speak you little loser." One of the others was about to start kicking him, but instead found himself face first on the ground just before passing out. Everyone looked at him astonished at what had just happened, none of them registering the fact that the girl was no longer standing in the same spot, in fact, she was standing right next to the unconscious figure on the ground. They broke out of their shock and realized that she had just knocked out one of them without them before they even realized it. One they had, the group of high schoolers became pissed off with the girl for doing that and themselves for letting it happen.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?!" The leader began shouting at her, but she didn't move an inch or even flinch at his sudden outburst. "YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET DOING THAT NOW!" With that said, he charged at her head on, all the while with his friends cheering him on. However, before he hit the girl, she moved swiftly to the side, causing him to lose his balance and fall. While he was trying to get up, the girl brought her foot up and Ax kicked him in the head causing him to go unconscious as well.

Upon seeing this, the other members of the group quickly backed down out of fear that they could be the next one to end up like that. The girl then began glaring at them so, instead of fighting the girl, they grabbed their unconscious friends and ran for it, thus leaving the girl and the little boy alone. The boy sighed in relief that they were finally gone while getting up, he turned to the girl that had just saved him from a more severe beating than what he had gotten.

"Thank you for saving me from those bullies miss, do you mind if I ask what your name is? My name is Mokuba by the way." Just as he finished speaking those words, he noticed something about the girl that he hadn't in all the confusion just a moment ago. It was the fact that she looked unusually pale and she had dark circles under her eyes, she had also begun to shake really bad and also looked like she hadn't eaten much for the past few weeks. "Hey, are you okay, you look like you are about to pass out." As if on cue, before the girl could answer anything, her vision began to go dark, and she passed out. Mokuba was just barely able to catch her before she hit the ground, and he set her down in a way so that she was leaning up against himself. While he was sitting there, Mokuba pulled out his phone and called for someone to come pick them up, and to have the family doctor ready for when they got to the house. Once the car arrived they helped get the girl into the vehicle and drove home carefully so as not to disturb the girl.

One thing about the scars that struck them as odd, was the fact that some looked like they were caused by something piercing the area all the way through to the other side. There were three places like this, those being both her hands, some scattered across her chest, and ones on her back that corresponded with the ones on her chest symbolizing that whatever they came from had gone all the way through to the other side. The most peculiar thing about the ones on her chest and back was the fact that some of the scars were positioned in a way that would have killed any normal person, so it was a wonder how she was still alive. After they put clean clothes on the girl, the doctor left and told Mokuba that it would be a little while before she would wake up again because of her poor condition. At the moment, Mokuba was quite glad that his brother was working, so he was still back at his office, however, he would need to be told eventually and Mokuba figured that telling him sooner would be better than telling him later.

With that in mind, Mokuba picked up his phone, which was sitting on the table in the room, and called his older brother, Seto Kaiba, in order to explain what had gone on that day. Needless to say, he wasn't all that excited about telling him because he didn't know how Seto would react to what he was about to tell him. He turned on his phone and went into his contacts, when he found his brother's number he pressed call, and waited for his brother to answer his call.

Sapphire: So, how did you guys like it? As my first fanfic I would appreciate your opinions on my story.

Andesine: Bla Bla Bla, are you just going to be sentimental Sapph, because if so then i'm going to start ignoring you now.

Mokuba: Hey, she's trying her best here so who cares if she gets a little sentimental.

Sapphire: Thanks Mokuba by the way, before I forget, where's your brother at the moment, he does play a pretty big role in this story after all.

Seto: I'm right here, and for future reference, please don't make me seem like a complete lovey dovey idiot. It would be degrading having to see myself like that, and I don't want to have to kill you because of it.

Bakura: I could help you with that free of charge if you want. :D

Andesine: Same here.

Ryou: No you won't.

Bakura: Nevermind. :'(

Andesine: Hah, more fun for me then.

Sapphire: EVERYONE SHUT UP! Now then, once again, please review because your feedback is definitely needed here. So, until we see you in the next chapter with more characters to talk to you, you get to deal with a cliffhanger.

Seto: I'm not kidding though, seriously, don't give me that kind of personality.

Ryou: Now now, there's no real reason that she would have to give you that kind of personality, so try have a little faith in her.

Bakura: I suppose Ryou's right about that.

Andesine: Aww, did someone get tamed by his precious little hikari.

Ryou: …Snap his neck…

Bakura: With pleasure. :D
