Chapter one: Welcome to the real world
It was a sunny late spring day at London Central Hospital. The sky was clear and there would be no rain that day. The hospital was full of life as always, patients coming in and going out. There hadn't been any emergecies and the sun seemed to give some extra strenght to everyone. It really was a perfect day.
On the west side of the hospital, where no one ever was, a lonely figure walked slowly around humming her favorite song. Joanne streched her arms towards the sun and smiled. A perfect day indeed. After the last week of raining some sun was welcomed. The summer was just around the corner and when the summer vacation would start she would get back home, since the department she was in would be shut over the summer. That is if she wasn't sent to another depastment, but she was keeping her hopes up. That was the way she was. So, now she just enjoyed her days thinking about her home, friends, family, pets... Everyone and everything she would see again.
Suddenly, however, her perfect day took a shocking turn. Just when she decided to get back inside, something -or someone actually- fell on her.
''Ouch..'', she heard that someone say. ''Aibou, are you okay?'' ''Yea, I think so. The landing was suprisingly soft...'' ''Umm... I think there is a good reason for that...'' Joanne had been listening this conversation not believing her ears. The voices were unbelievable familiar to her.
''Oh, I'm so sorry, miss'', the first voice said as it's owner stood up and helped Joanne up. She looked at the one who had fell on her and now couldn't believe her eyes neither. In front of her stood a boy- no, two boys with tricoloured spiky hair, eyes coloured like amethyst and the shorter one having a Duel Disc on his arm. The two looked alike, but still were so different.
''Miss..?'' Joanne realised that she had been staring and blinked her eyes for a few times. ''I-It's okay. No need to be sorry.'' The shorter of the boys smiled and sighed in relief. ''That is good to hear. Youre not hurt, are you?'' Joanne smiled. ''No, I'm not, thank you for asking.'' ''Good. Let me introduce myself. My name is-'' The boy's words were cut by Joanne. ''Yugi Mutou. I know'', she said looking at Yugi. Then, to the suprise of both of the boys, she looked at the one next to Yugi. He looked a bit blurry, like a hologram, not really existing, but she could see him clearly. ''And you must be Yami, correct?''
Yugi was stunned. The question 'How in the world can she see Yami?' could be read from his face. He looked at the spirit next to him. Yami looked suprisingly calm. Yugi shifted his look back to Joanne again. The teen aged girl was having a hard time not to chuckle. Yugi looked really funny, but she thought that this was not the time to start laughing. She took few a bit deeper breaths to calm herself down.
''That is correct'', Yami said with a calm, but wary voice. Joanne smiled and bowed her head a bit. ''Nice to meet both of you. I am Joanne.'' She would have wanted to ask so many questions, but she held her mouth. This was not the time or place for that either. There was few moments of silenceness as the two boys and the girl looked at each other trying to decide what to say. Yami was the first one to speak. ''Joanne, could you tell us where we are?'' Yugi looked at Joanne. ''Yea, we're definetly not in Domino anymore.''
Joanne folded her arms. ''We're outside the London Central Hospital in England'', she said. Yugi's eyes widened. ''In England?! How is that possible?'' That was just what Joanne was thinking that moment. Or actually she thought how where they here, in the real world? She sighed. ''I don't know, but it doesn't get any clearer by just standing here doing nothing'', she said. ''What do you suggest?'', Yami asked looking at her. ''I suggest that we start looking for some answers. I don't know where we'll find them, but...'' She didn't continue. She had spotted three black figures behind the two boys...
