Phantom Duels

Chapter 2- First Day of A New Adventure

A few days later, on the morning of his first day of school at Domino High School, Danny woke up late due to the fact that he still hadn't adjusted to the international time change and forgot to set his alarm clock. As he rolled over and looked at the time, he grumbled to himself, "Aw, man, I cannot believe this."

As he finally rolled out of bed, Nyreena called up, "Come on, Danny. We've got to go!"

"Alright, I'm coming!," he called back.

He stumbled to the bathroom, got cleaned up, then put on his new school uniform. He stared at it for a minute in the mirror, then grabbed his backpack and headed downstairs. As he was coming down, Nyreena, who was already up and ready in her new uniform, asked him, "Did you forget to set your alarm again?"

"Yeah," he replied. "Still not used to the time change, I guess."

"Well, maybe you can start the habit once you do," she told him. "Now, come on. We need to get going."

He nodded in agreement, then they both walked out, put their shoes on and headed down the street to the school. After getting lost twice, asked for directions, and getting lost again, they finally reached their destination, only to find that the bell had rung three minutes earlier.

"Oh, that's just great," Nyreena muttered. "Look, I'll go up ahead and find out what our classes are."

"Okay," Danny replied in agreement. "See you in a few."

The girl nodded in agreement then went off into the school. He watched her go, then started walking again at a slower pace to catch his breath. As he got closer to the door, he noticed something on the ground. He went over to it, picked it up, and looked at it to get a closer look. It was a card to some kind of game by his conclusion. The picture was a small puff of brown fur with big glassy eyes and stubby green legs. He stared at it for a couple seconds more, then walked inside.

A little while later, Danny met up with Nyreena , who gave him his schedule she had picked up along with hers. After looking them both over, they both saw that they had the same homeroom, so at least they had at least one class together. After finding their class, without needing help for once, they walked in and noticed that the class hadn't started yet, luckily. While trying to get through the hubbub, they overhear someone say, "It's got to be around here somewhere."

"What's the matter, Yug'?" another person asked.

"I've somehow lost my Kuriboh card," the first person replied.

Upon hearing this, Danny remembered the card he found outside and pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it again, and figured that it was the card the person lost. He started to make the move to walk over and return it, but he was interrupted by the teacher who came in and quieted the class down. He quickly found an empty desk next to Nyreena and sat down, and while the teacher began the class, he whispered to her, "Did you happen to overhear the kid who lost that card of his, by any chance?"

"Yeah," she whispered back. "Why?"

"I found his card outside, and I was about to return it to him when the teacher came in,"

he answered.

"When are you going to return it to him?,"she asked.

"I'm going to do it after class," he replied. "But I don't know which person said they lost the card."

"Oh, I saw who it was while I was sitting down. He's right over there," she told him, pointing to a small kid with spiky, purple-edged hair with blonde bangs and wearing a strange pyramid-shaped pendant around his neck.

He nodded in response, seeing who it was, then waited for the bell to ring to end the class. As soon as it did, he quickly maneuvered through the crowd to the kid and said, pulling out the card and handing it over, "Excuse me, but I overheard at the beginning of class that you lost a card and I found it outside of the school when I arrived."

"Oh, thank you," the kid replied, taking it. "I thought it would be outside. Hey, would you like to join me and my friends for lunch today?"

"Sure," Danny agreed. "I'll bring my foster sister, Nyreena, with me."

"Cool," the other boy answered. "See you later, then."

Danny nodded, then left to go to his next class. When he walked out, the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle came alive in Yugi Moto's mind and said, "Well, Yugi, at least that's over."

"I agree," the boy replied. "I didn't know what I would do without Kuriboh."

"And now you've got new friends out if it, too," the spirit added.

"Yeah," Yugi said, smiling. "I guess I did."

But as the boy got up, gathered his things, walked out and met up with his friends, the spirit when he returned inside the Puzzle couldn't help but think that there was something more to Yugi's new friend, something secretive and kept quiet. Something that was seemingly familiar and strangely different at the same time.

Well, there it is! Chapter Three is being worked on right now, and it should be up soon. Hopefully. So let the games begin, shall we? See you next time. Be sure to read and review!
