Chapter One
Meeting Namu

Tabitha sighed with relief as she finally lost her best-friend. She was her friend, but some times she really got on her nerves! And why did she have to bring up Yugi like that!! She blushed at the thought. He was just a friend that she had met a year ago, during duelist kingdom. But she knew that there was something different about him though, no one else seemed like they could tell, but Tabitha knew that there was something about that boy. But she could never put her finger on it though. He was a sweet boy, but when you started to talk about duel monsters, he would always brighten up at that. He really loved the game. And the one time that she went up against him, was the first time that she was ever in a draw with someone; and she wanted to get better at the game so she could beat him and just having fun playing the game. If it wasn't for him, she didn't think that she would actually enjoy playing duel monsters. She smiled to herself.

"Hay, girlie" Tabitha blinked and looked over her shoulder. She saw a tall man in a violet cloak, his hood covering his face and the eye of Horus on the hood. She turned around and saw four more men in the same attar. She blinked her blue-green eyes. "Yes--?" He gave her a evil grin and she did not like that at all. "Give us all your rare cards!" She raised her brow at this. Who died and made this guy king? "And if I say no?" She asked. The grin grew wider as he pulled out a knife, the only men doing the same. "Then will have to take it by force!!" He said with a evil laugh. 'Is this guy mad!' she though to herself as she back up a bit. There was no way she could fight them with five of them ganging up on her like that. Then out of know where she felt a tug on her wrist, then she felt herself being dragged away. "Come on, hurry!" He said; a boy. She was speechless, so much that she ran with him. The ran around the corner before the men could see and they ran straight. The boy and Tabitha stopped running when they both thought that they lost the men. The boy let go of her wrist and bent over and placed his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.

"Are you alright?" He asked with a worried look on his face. She didn't even know this guy and he looked like he was worried for her. She blushed slightly. Then she remembered her manners; "I --- Yes, I'm fine. Thank you very much." She said as she bowed. She then had a chance to get a better look at the boy. He was a tall teenage boy, with bronze tan skin and light blonde hair that went over his tan shoulders, and she slightly wonder if his hair was dyed? She really couldn't tell and his eyes were a very pretty violet color, but even though he was smiling at her, his eyes seemed cold. His outfit was a bit different, then she had seen a boy wear. He was wearing a purple tan top that showed off his stomach, which was slim and she could tell he did have muscles, for he had strong arms. His pants is a pair of sandy colored cargo pants and black shoes on his feet. Around his neck was a golden chocker and his ears had one golden earring attach to each ear. Around his upper arms were golden bands and around his wrist are a pair of golden wrist bands. He was one of those hotties that you hardly see now a days. At least she didn't; and she could not deny that he was not hot! He was smoken'. She blushed at the mere thought. 'Get a grip Tabitha!!' "Are you alright miss?" He asked with concern. He even had manners!! How many guys did she know that she knew had manners! Almost none! Well maybe Yugi or Bakura--- "I'm fine." "You sure? You look a little red." Tabitha just blushed more. "I'm fine, really. Don't worry."

She shook her head of her thought and looked back up at him. "Do you know who those guys were?" She asked. "Uh... I think they were called --- Rare Hunters, yes I think that's it." He said as he looked at the girl in front of him. "Rare --- Hunters? What in the world are they suppose to be?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know to much, I think that they steal rare duel monster cards and then sell them in the black market for really high money." He explained. Tabitha crossed her arms over her chest. "Well thats rude, and to think that they would gang up on a girl like me; I mean five of them. They clearly do not have any honor at all!" She said with a huff. "I agree, by the way miss, my name is Namu. What is yours?" He asked and Tabitha blinked. "Ah sorry, my name is Tabitha; It nice to meet you Namu." She said as she took a hold of his hand and shook it, and it did the same. "It is a pleasure, miss Tabitha."

Tabitha shook her head as she let go of his hand. "Just Tabitha." She smiled at him and he returned it. Then a serious look formed on her face. "You don't think those Rare Hunters will be back, do you?" She asked; he shook his head. "I'm not to sure, I think it would be best if we leave right away." She nodded and turned around and started to walk ahead. Not noticing the dark look in Namu's eyes. 'Go my rare hunters, keep on the watch for little Yugi.' The millennium rod glowing in the back of his hand. "Hay you comin'?" She asked while looking over her shoulder. Namu shoved the Millennium rod in his back pocket, out of eye sight and walked up to her. "Of course." He said as they both walked out of the ally together. "If you don't mind me asking, you don't look like you are from here..." He said as he looked at her. Tabitha smiled. "I'm from the US, I know some people here in Japan." She explained. "Have you heard of Duelist Kingdom?" She asked; He nodded.

"Well I went to that, about six months ago. I met Yugi Mutou there." Namu looked shocked. "THE Yugi Mutou? The King of Games?" He asked. Tabitha nodded her head. "Yeah, the very same one. We've become very good friends. So when I heard about Battle City, I knew that he would be here for sure. I'm just surprised he so into Duel Monsters." "Why do you say that for?" He question as he looked at her. "Well I never really liked playing the game to much, and I always thought people who got into it too much we're idoits. My mom said it would be good for me to do something different so that is why I went in the first place." She looked up at him and smiled her sweet smile. "Then I met Yugi, he was always defending his friends and he just loved the game so much, it was something that gave him joy. I even went up against him in a duel. And do you know what happen?" He shook his head. "We tied, I was shocked and he was shocked and for the first time in a long while I laughed." Namu looked surprised at this, she was tied with the king of games? "I have never lost a battle, ever. But I also heard, neither had he. After that I didn't feel so moody and I did get to know the rest of his group of friends, I really did have a blast."

"I would do anything for them, they brought me back how I use to be. There my dear friends." She smiled at the thought. Without her knowing, Namu's eyes darken. ' Believe me, you will be used.' "You seem really close to them." He said with a small smile. She nodded her head. "Yeah I am." She then turned to him. "So what about you? You don't look like your from here either." She said. "I'm not, I'm from Egypt." He then blinked when she gave him a shock look. "Really!?" He nodded. "That is so cool!! I've always wanted to visit there. Is it nice their? She asked. He thought for a moment, he never really thought about it. When he was a child, he did. Because he was never aloud outside of his underground home that he was trapped in most of his life. And after he his father had died because of the Pharaoh, he really did not care for what was around him. Only revenge. But why would this girl be so interested in it or even want to go there? "It is quite nice." He replied. The only thing coming to his mind at the moment. Tabitha open her mouth to say something, but someone interrupted her.

"Hay girlie, I challenge you to a duel!" Some random guy said as he pointing at her. Tabitha raised her brow, if there was one thing that she hated, it was being interrupted. As a vain popped out, she smirked. "I accept!!"

Else Where

A young man of the age of nineteen walked down the streets of Domino City. The people tried not to stare at him, but he was hard not to stare at. He was tall and lean. Wild brown hair and chocolate colored eyes; An American is what he is. His outfit is a white tee shirt, a black jacket over top, black jeans and black tennis shoes. The man as he walked had a good speed, a run walk. He had ditched his so called ' partner ' but he didn't need anyone. He was a loner, he always did his job, his way without some stupid person following him or trying to be his friend. There was just no use for that. Let alone, let a girl be his partner. He didn't need one period! He then stopped and looked at the clear sky and his eyes narrowed. ' It is almost time ' He thought as he walked off.

Mean While....

At the same time on the other side of Domino City, was a young women was seventeen. Beautiful short red hair that came above her small shoulders, and crystal blue eyes. Fair skin and a petette slim figure. She is very beautiful. Even with the outfit that she is wearing. A long sleeve white blouse. Gold loop earrings attached to her ears, a gold chocker, a white skirt, the front part came to her mid thigh, while the back came down to her ankles; a very small slit on both sides of her skirt. And on her feet were a pair of what ballet like shoes with white ribbon going around her ankles. And normally she would walk with grace, like a young women would. But not today. Her eyes flared, and she looked really pissed off as she stomped her way down the street; she made a fist as she held it in the air. "I SWEAR WHEN I FIND YOU MIKE ARC, I'LL KILL YOU!!!!" She yelled out, making everyone that was by her jump back and move away from her. She was really going to kill that man when she saw him. He ditched her! Again!! Her eye twitched as she glared at someone making the pour boy and girl run away from her. All in all, she was not very happy at all.

Yes killing him would give her pleasure...
