Chapter 1: Daily Life

"Oh no! I'm late!" A sixteen year old, light auburn haired, olive eyed girl was running through the streets of Battle City to get to school. Her silky soft hair flew with the wind current as she ran quickly toward school. After the battle against the Pharaoh, they moved on and changed a lot over the last two years. Ever since Yugi's gang and him graduated from her high school, Serenity was alone with no friends around her age. They were all in different colleges and were being successful. Yugi and Tea moved to America to go to a college that they applied. Joey lived with Mai after he proposed to her and was working in the Game Shop where Yugi's grandfather owned, not to mention getting a better salary. Serenity was happy for the both of them because she knew that Mai and Joey were meant to be together but sad at the same time because she couldn't live with her brother anymore. Her mother agreed to move back to Japan with much of Serenity's pleading and take Joey in their care when the father died. It became very normal to the family of three until Joey moved and applied to a college. Joey sometimes called both his mother and his little sister to know how are they doing without him. Tristan and Duke's crush on Serenity faded away and moved on to a college... much to Serenity's relief from the continuous flirts. Rebecca's crush on Yugi faded away, but she has her eyes set on the British accent boy, Ryou Bakura. Serenity was attending the same high school where her older brother attended, and she was getting good grades.

However, she didn't have any new friends when she moved in.

The students around her only recognized her as Joey's little sister. They tried to make friends with her, but Serenity stayed away from them because they were being nice to the final duelist's little sister. She only wanted to make friends who only see her as herself... not someone else. On the first day of Domino High, she was alone at first because no one wanted to hang out with a shy, silent girl. The only friends she made was Marik, who had his family moved in to Battle City since there was no reason to stay in Egypt and started one year ahead, and Mokuba, who is now a freshman at the age of twelve.

However, on that day, she met her first friend on a strange occurrence.

Serenity made a turn that leads to her high school, but a stranger also turned towards Serenity. Her eyes went wide and realized that both of them were about to collide in the corner. She made a quick thinking and halted her pace. At one second, she stepped aside to go around the stranger while spinning with one foot like she was taking ballet. After she was at the stranger's side without any physical contact, she made a mad dash while waving without acknowledging the stranger or seeing the face.

"I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry today!"

She continued to run quickly to the high school until she disappeared inside the gates. The cobalt eyes stared where the petite girl disappear in his old high school. He turned his eyes back to his destination and walked away, letting his dark violet trench coat fly behind him. He gave a smirk toward the girl who avoided the collision and contact.

"Hmph. Whatever, my dear."

"Seren! Where the hell were ya! Get in before the bell rings!" A shout came across the hallways where Serenity was in. Serenity smiled as she met her first friend at the entrance of the door, wearing a different pair of shoes that was for entering the classroom.

"Sorry, Tara! I overslept!" Serenity replied with a smile.

Tara Strong was in the same class as her and became her first friend after the strange occurrence between them. She had choppy, jet black hair that reached to her chin. Her two strands of her hair were split above the middle of forehead. Her dark olive eyes looked like it was pitch black or gray instead. Her personality was the opposite from Serenity's. Serenity was shy, silent, and dependent on others while she cheered on her friends. Tara, however, was loud, outgoing, and independent while she does the right action to boost the moral. Ever since they met, they became friends, and the both of the friends rubbed each other's personality. Serenity had more confidence in her, and Tara learned how to control her excitement and anger.

Serenity quickly changed her shoes and got in the class before the bell rung ten seconds ago. They got to their seat on the far left corner where they could see what's going on outside.

"Geez. Set your alarm early, Seren." Tara whispered, sitting at Serenity's right side. Serenity smiled and whispered back.

"Sorry." The teacher walked in the classroom and announced.

"Okay. Settle down, class. Get your books out and turned to page..."

Serenity glanced out from the window and noticed a black limousine outside of the gates. She also saw the two flags that held the sign of Kaiba Corp.

Kaiba's here?

She didn't hear anything about Seto Kaiba for a long time. Probably, it is because she didn't pay attention to the elder brother while her friends graduated from high school. Kaiba hated to go to this school because it was too easy, people wanted to be friends with him to be popular, fangirls adore him and claim false announcements about love that wasn't reached, and Yugi and his gang were there the most. Serenity didn't understand why Joey and Kaiba didn't get along when they first saw each other. She also ignore the glares from the man and the comments Kaiba made when the two met or pass by.

Then, what is he doing here?

She found a figure next to the right gate. There stood a tall, wiry man, wearing a dark violet trench coat, black pants, black clean shoes, and a black turtle neck shirt, looking at her with cobalt eyes through his chestnut hair. He smirked at something... or rather smirked at her. At the same time when the man smirked, Serenity quickly turn her attention back to the teacher who was writing on her chalkboard. She felt a light small blush on her cheeks when she felt the stare from the man, boring into her head.

"Serenity?" The auburn haired girl turned her attention to her whispering friend beside her. From the corner of Tara's eye, the look was concern and worry about her friend. Serenity shook her head with a smile on her face. Tara nodded slightly and looked back to the teacher. Serenity glanced back to the gates where Seto Kaiba and his limousine were before she turned her attention back to the teacher. No one was there.

It must've been my imagination. Get a grip, girl! He graduated and is never gonna step on this school ground again!

It was lunch time, and everyone was enjoying the talking, scene, and sometimes food. He or she chose to stay inside or go outside, if the day was sunny. Some went down and buy lunch from the cafeteria instead. However, two students didn't have time to grab their lunch or have a nice chit-chat with the boys. Instead, they were running up the stairs to the roof door, frantically. They both hoped that nothing went wrong around the school. Oh man. Thanks to one person who sensed something wrong on the roof. They have to skip lunch to beat whatever what up there.

"You sure it's them?"

"Yes, Tara! Do you think that my sixth sense went wrong?"

"No! I never said anything about that! Let's hurry up and beat them before they could harm anyone else!" Tara almost tripped on the 107th step.

"I hate the stairs!"

"Good thing we have to make up an excuse for the boys to NOT come with us! You did a good excuse THIS time!"

"Sh-shut up!"

They were rushing up in spirals and were feeling their legs giving away. However, when they reached to the door up in the roof, Serenity slid down on her butt while clutching the handle bar, and Tara was holding herself up on her knees to balance herself from the long run. In a few minutes, they regain some of the energy and stood up straight. Serenity and Tara took a deep breath as Tara held the door knob and twist it.

Click.

The door was open, and she pushed the door forward to see the light blind them for a second. After the light subsided, there stood two black hooded figures who had their Dueling Disks out. Tara and Serenity put up a stern face and walked out. Tara closed the door and walked to the left side as Serenity was on the right side.

"So, you two are the dragon duelists our men were talking about..." One of the hooded men commented. Tara rolled her eyes and glared at the two. Her fists were on her hips to show that she was mad.

"Gee. How do you know? Listen, could you just wait after school or something? I'm not in the mood right now. M'kay?" Serenity glanced at her friend from the corner of her eyes and shook her head.

"Tara... they're not gonna listen. It's been like this almost everyday. We're just going have to deal with it." Tara sighed and held out her left arm in front of her aiming at the black hooded man in front of her. Around her arm, a bright light with black on the edges glowed and formed into one of Kaiba Corp's creations in the Battle City finals.

It was a Duel Disk, but it was just not any Duel Disk. It resembled to the Red Eyes Black Dragon. The Duel Disk looked like it was modified carefully to have the same functions like the ordinary disk. The wing was used for the cards to hold them in place; the neck curved to the head that had its mouth open for drawing the cards; the left front leg under the head of the dragon covered over the hole where the cards were sent to the graveyard; and the rest of the body was holding tightly on the girl's arm.

"Oh well. I'll just have to deal with you two with my Hell Deck." Tara smirked as the wing were connected and slid to the front of the Red Eyes Black Dragon's head. Not only that, two black dragon wings appeared on her back. Serenity sighed and held out her left arm. A bright light with blue edges engulfed the girl's arm to form the same modified Duel Disk like Tara's. However, she has the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"I'll use my Heaven Deck to help you." Serenity's Duel Disk was set up for battle and her white dragon wings appeared. Tara snapped her fingers, and everything in the world stood still, literally.

"I'm not gonna waste my lunch time, so I'll stop time until this battle is over." Serenity and Tara focused and began the double duel against the hooded men. The four spoke out at the same time.

"LET'S DUEL!"

Unknown to them, they didn't notice cold cobalt eyes watching the duel behind the two girls from another building's roof. He smirked and crossed his arms over his chest, observing their tactics and strategies in the time freeze realm against the mysterious hooded men.

I don't believe in freezing time, but this duel intrigues me. That woman, Ishizu, did say something about her playing an important role. I wonder how much she has improved over the last two years.

He observed the wings on the girls' backs, like he have seen them before. He held his chin and pondered.

Those wings... they look familiar.

First time, but don't review just yet. There's a second one.
