It was the day of the tournament and you were prepared. You were lined up with other duelists from all around. Looking around at everyone, you did recognize some. You could see Mai Valentine, Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood, Espa-Roba, Joey Wheeler, and Yugi Moto. Yugi was along with his newly discovered brother: Yami Moto. Yami looked like Yugi and you could tell they were brothers. It was also obvious that Yugi was sick of his brother as all the girls in the crowd shouted out Yami's name. But you just rolled your eyes. Most girls just wanted to get with either of them to be known as "the king of games's girlfriend". You didn't care, you didn't like anyone here anyway. You minded your own business. Your duel deck was on your belt and your duel disk was on your arm. You wanted this tournament to start. That's exactly what happened too. "Now, let's get this tournament started!" Mokuba Kaiba announced into a microphone as the screen showed the pictures of the two duelists who would be first behind him. Mokuba said that his brother, Seto Kaiba, will not be competing in this tournament. But what you focused on was when he said that Yugi Moto or Yami Moto will be the final challenger, and that only the person who makes it to the end will get a chance to duel one of them. You watched patiently as the first duelists were chosen. Of course you weren't in it so you just decided to watch the duel start on the big screen overhead. You walked over and sat on a chair as you waited for the duel to end.
"Hey... hey... hi." You looked over as you felt a bit annoyed, but only came eye to eye with a blonde. It was Joey Wheeler, friend of Yugi Moto. You didn't say anything back. Instead just gave him a kind of half smile.
He looked away to talk to his friends. You took the time to go through your deck. You took the top card off the top of your deck, examining one of your favorite monster cards. Smiling slightly, you put it back, hoping nobody had noticed. As Joey turned back around, you looked towards the screen, the chance to go through your deck ruined. A dull look plastered on your face as you could only ignore the eyes that you could feel piercing into you like daggers.
The tournament went on for a pretty long time. You got to see lots of people duel. Almost half the people got out as soon as your duel arrived. "The next duel will be... (f/n) (l/n) vs Rebecca Hawkins." You looked up as you heard your name. You walked up as it started. It may be a hard duel, but you would try not to show struggle.
"I summon (fav. monster 1). Then I activate the spell card (random spell) to summon (fav. monster 2). You used a trap card on her face down card, getting rid of it before it could activate. You then used your monster to attack her monster, easily defeating it. Then with no cards on her side of the field and only 2600 life points left, you used a trap card to power up your monster and attack. Then after using another spell card that takes away life points, you had won the duel. You walked away after you were declared the winner as she said something about how sorry she was to Yugi. On the outside, you tried seemed calm. But on the inside, you were relived. She almost had you there a couple times. Especially with her trap cards.
You sat in your seat. "Hey man. Congrats." You heard Joey say as he still sat next to you. You gave him a small smile and quickly looked away. But there was something still bugging you. And you knew what it was. That cold stare that glared at you. It was still there, and was even getting closer as time went on. But all you could do was ignore it as the next duel started.
