Chapter 2

Normal Pov

The next day, every one got off the ship and walked off the port to the castle that resided off to the side of the small island. It was pretty nice, the trees were healthy, and the land was pretty fertile. The only structure that stood in the island was the castle, but it looked like it belonged there.

Everyone gathered around the long staircase of the castle before starting the tiring trek up. There were more stairs that Kagome's home the shrine, and that thought was not very welcoming.

The cream colored castle stood high on the cliffs of the mountain, which descended strait into the ocean. The huge doors at the top of the long wide staircase was the only visible way into the castle.

When Kagome reached the top, she went over to a corner of the courtyard that looked over a portion of the forest. The trees were thick and tall, undisturbed, and the grasses grew long and bright, they too had not been disturbed when this giant structure was built. Some fireworks went off to announce that their gracious host was gracing his presence.

Another set of doors that were situated on a high balcony, opened up and an American man about mid twenties, early thirties. He had steel silver hair that fell over his right eye, came just below his shoulders. His eyes were a wintry blue gray, and he wore a red English looking business suit.

"Welcome, fellow duelists, to the Duelist Kingdom tournament." He said loudly to everyone "I am your host, Maxamillion Pegasus. As you all know, you got your invitations in the mail along with red glove and 2 star chips. They are to be placed at the base of the glove as a holder." He raised his hand to show the glove and the chips in them, then placed his hands behind his back. "When the tournament begins, you will find a surprise in your dueling for those of you who can figure it out. You must have ten star chips to enter this castle and challenge me to the title as the King of games. When the sky is alight with fireworks in one hour, the tournament begins!" He raised his hands into the air and people cheered, before walking back down the stairs to find the dueling platforms and opponents.

Kagome smiled lightly, before sitting on the low wall that kept people from falling into the trees and to their death. She looked out to see that the platforms were already coming out of the ground in various places. When the duelists finally reached the end of the long stair well, the fireworks went off above her, signaling the beginning of the tournament.

She sat there for a little while longer, before going off to find someone good to duel. From the looks of the duels from up top, they were mostly people who had only started actually winning battles, with the exception of the tournament duelists and experienced fighters.

Smiling at the thought of a worthy opponent, she hopped off the wall and used the branch's of the trees and her miko Ki to slow her fall, before rolling on the ground to break her fall, and stand up to asses damage, which was none, except for a stray leaf in her hair.

Not many people seemed to want to challenge her, when she had an air of confidence and power around her, but a few took it as a challenge and faced her in a duel. They didn't last very long, but she went easy on them.

When ever Kagome dueled, it seamed to come naturally to her. She could see patterns that people played with and how they handled their cards with what they were dealt. She could see the way to defeat her enemy, how to use complex combos, and just simply how the cards could be played effectively.

Even though sometimes she was caught off guard by a trap or spell, but other than that, the only person who had been able to defeat her was Sesshoumaru and someone else she couldn't quite put a face to in her head. The dream of gold sands that went for miles, a tall flat palace, and light tan skin adorned with pieces of gold and blue jewelry here and there always came to mind. But when ever she is about to look at the persons face, he is shadowed out, and would wake up without any memory of her dream except for the almost face and the feeling of being held in a warm embrace.

It was well past the afternoon, when she found Yugi and his gang of friends in a clearing. Yugi was facing off against Weevil Underwood in a difficult battle. Weevil had a large cocoon that was about ready to hatch, and all Yugi had was his Gyia the Gierce Knight, a face down defense card, and Curse of Dragon.

Kagome stood high up in a tree watching the battle while also assessing the power she was feeling from Yugi and his puzzle. It was almost exactly the same as her bracelets, with the eye in the midde, only there was a presence much stronger than her and commanded respect, like an ancient king.

She smiled as she watched Yugi's genius plan destroy and wipe out the last of Weevil's life points with a combination of makiu water spell card, and summon skull fried the great moth. The other three were on the ground, cheering about Yugi's victory, when Kagome decided to announce her presence by clapping and smiling down at Yugi.

Yugi looked up at her and she could immediately tell that he was different. His gaze held confidence and pride along with a hint of curiosity. His eyes themselves were more angular instead of round and child like, and were a rare purple color. He now stood a few inch's taller than her and his posture also held confidence. His hair now had a few streaks of the yellow gold running into the red tipped, black spiky hair and his bang's didn't have the one annoying piece of hair that fell down into his eyes. This Yugi wasn't Yugi, he felt like the presence in the puzzle, and he was hot.

The mystery Yugi smirked at her, before the platform lowered, and he turned away to get off. Kagome jumped down from her branch and walked over to the group of friends. Yugi turned back to her, and he was the innocent child like Yugi again, the presence lingered just out of her reach and was gone.

'Maybe fluffy was right about me coming here.' She thought 'this place is definitely bringing people that are peaking my interest. I wonder what else this place has in store for me'
