Chapter 1

Standing in the darkness, eyes shining, she looked at all she had left. There was one thing that would save her, and the ones she cared about. "Here it goes," She muttered. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Kaiyita, come on get up, it's time for your first day at your new school, you don't want to miss it!" Kaiyita slowly opened her deep brown eyes to look up at her mother who was smiling. "You don't want to be late, this is your first day with these new kids in this new town." Kaiyita sat up and shook her head. "Mom, face it: we've moved four times in the last year, and I've been a loser every school we've been to, they are no more chances I'll make even one friend." Her mother put her arm around her and said, "honey, that's not true, and you know it. Now I want you to go up in the attic and find those boxes of china sets to put downstairs." Kaiyita sighed and slowly nodded.

She slowly trudged her feet up the stairs like there was snow all around her. When she got upstairs she started looking around the small room for the boxes full of the china plates, cups and saucers. While she was looking, the sun glinted on something stuck in the corner of the floorboard. Kaiyita stared for a moment, and then ran over to it. It seemed to be a piece of a 3d puzzle. It was made of pure gold. She searched the room for other pieces. She found nothing, until she pulled up the floorboard where she found the first piece. Under the floor, Kaiyita found two other gold pieces.

Hands trembling, she picked up the other two pieces. She noticed one of them had an eye on them. Still, she tried to fit them together. Finally after a few minutes, she found a way to make them fit. Suddenly it started to glow. Kaiyita's vision blurred up and suddenly she was standing in the light. A girl her age dressed in ancient robes spoke to her. 'Do not fear, I will take sanctuary in your body, and in return I will help you.'

She moved toward her and suddenly, Kaiyita awoke upon the floor with the golden item around her neck. It was a golden pendant. She got up and grabbed the boxes of china. As quickly as she could, she headed down stairs.

Her mom sat waiting for her in the kitchen. "Kaiyita, what took you so long? It's been fifteen minutes!" Her mother talked sternly, but hugged her daughter tightly. "I'm sorry, it took me a while to find it," She lied. "Alright, now sit down and eat." Kaiyita was too nervous to eat. Not about school, about what had just happened in the attic. Who was this girl, and what did she want?

When she got to school the teacher introduced her and she sat down in the desk behind a really small kid with big hair. Being fairly small herself, Kaiyita didn't even try to see the blackboard. Suddenly the boy turned around and said, "I'm sorry, can you see?" Kaiyita nodded, but he could tell she wasn't telling the truth. "Really, you can have my seat, it's no big deal." He said smiling kindly. "Thank you, I appreciate it, but I'm fine."

After class the boy ran up to her. "I'm Yugi by the way, Yugi Moto. What's your name?" he asked politely. This surprised Kaiyita. Never in her life had she met such a polite boy. "My name is." Kaiyita hesitated. Whenever she had told someone her name they had laughed and turned against her. "My name is Katie. It's nice to meet you." She walked away in relief. In a few hours, after the school day was done, Kaiyita wandered outside to see the boy Yugi with other kids laughing and having fun. There were to boys and a girl with him. The two boys were tall and looked to Kaiyita like some of the totally stupid boys she had known before. The girl was tall, and looked like she was out in space. "Katie!" Yugi stood up and ran over to her. "Hello, Yugi," Kaiyita said cautiously. "Do you want to join us in a game of duel monsters?" He asked.

Kaiyita thought for a moment. She felt as though she wasn't very good at duel monsters at all. "Maybe Later, I have to get home." She said slowly as she turned away. Suddenly, the spirit Kaiyita saw before took over and said. "But I will be back," Kaiyita pulled with every once of strength in her mind and took control again. Then she took off running towards home.



Kaiyita ran through door, and into her room. She looked into the mirror at herself panting like a dog. She waited a moment than screamed, "WHO ARE YOU?!" Once again light surrounded her. The girl appeared again. " You may call me Yuki which means 'the pure one'. I will help you learn to duel in return of letting me stay in you. I also need your help. I need to uncover my past, and search for the ancient pharaoh." Kaiyita couldn't speak.

Kaiyita's vision returned to her room and she fell to the ground. She woke up 15 minutes later and got up from the ground. "Was, that all a dream?" She muttered. She shook her head and suddenly she heard 'no it was not. You need to trust me, you're not going crazy.' At first Kaiyita was scared but then decided for some crazy reason, she felt she could trust her. Then again she heard the voice Yuki say, "I'm glad you trust me, now lets get started."
