Katherine's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock screaming in my ears and my eyes becoming crystal clear. I looked at the time, getting out of bed and quickly taking a shower.

My parents had called us for breakfast and as I descended down the stairs and into the kitchen where Matt was sitting.

We ate our breakfast and got our bags ready before we left the house and walked to Matt's school. I decided to take a chance and ask Matt about what happened at school yesterday.

"So is there something you want to tell me about? Like why were you crying at school yesterday, and don't give me the 'I had something in my eye' story," I asked.

"Way to have a subtle approach sis! It's nothing just a few kids teasing me that's all," he said, trying to shrug off the situation at hand.

"No it's not okay you can't let these people bully you. You have to stand up for yourself!" I said.

"Look it happened in the past so don't worry about it, okay?"

"Fine," I said as we reached his school. I said my goodbye to him walking away from his school towards my own.

Yugi's POV

That new girl Katherine seems very familiar to me in so many ways as if we go way back yet she just moved here, not to mention she's a stranger to me.

Here I am at school with the gang, having Joey talk about how good he is at duelling. Then our attention was drawn to Katherine when she arrived at school. Like yesterday she seemed very conservative and quiet, sitting by herself reading her book in the quad.

I don't blame her, with all those glares she got I would keep to myself as well and maybe she wanted to be alone. Joey had other ideas, walking up to her, trying to grab her attention by introducing himself as one of the top duellists in the world.

"Hi, we noticed ya sitting here all alone and thought we could give ya some company. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Joey Wheeler, duellist extraordinaire, and I placed second in the duellist kingdom tournament," he announced proudly, with a smirk on his face

"Okay, that's sound interesting, I guess," she said, trailing with that last word, her mind clearly still drawn to that book. Finally she looked up and noticed us

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude, I'm Katherine Collins, nice to meet you, but may I ask what are your names again?" she asked.

"I'm Yugi Moto, these are my friends Tristan Taylor, Tea Gardner, Ryou Bakura and as you saw earlier, this is Joey Wheeler," I said, gesturing to the gang and in return receiving a huge smile from her, showing a little more interest in us

"I've heard of you, you came first in Duellist Kingdom. You are awesome!" she said beaming.

"What about me? I came second, it's not as great as first place but it's something!" he said with an annoyed expression.

Katherine laughed a little at this scene before speaking, " I'm sorry. I'll try show more interest next time," she said with slight smirk.

"Thank you…Hey!" Joey exclaimed

Katherine's POV

The gang had spent an entire day talking to me, telling me what goes on in Domino City and I explained what my life was like in France, with my best friend and my little brother. It made me feel welcome and wanted but it's too early to say, it's only been a day and I don't know them that well yet something inside me told me to trust them.

As soon as school was over, I left the gang and went to fetch Matt from his school, hoping he had a good day like I did.

I arrived at the school to find Matt sitting with someone and it seemed as though they were enjoying each other's company, finally seeing a smile on his face for the first time in three days since we moved here.

"Matt!" I exclaimed, waving my hand at him and in response he looked up at me with a huge smile.

"Hey Kat, I'd like you to meet my new friend. Kat this is Mokuba Kaiba, Mokuba this is my sister Kat."

"Nice to meet you Mokuba," I say offering a hand to him and he took it, shaking it gently.

"His brother owns one of the most successful gaming corporations. Isn't that cool?!" he shouted.

"Yeah my brother Seto owns it." Curiosity came to my head as he said his Brother owns a company.

"Um, how old is your brother?" I asked

"He's 17." He stated simply. That was all I needed to know.

"See you around Mokuba," Matt said as a black limo appeared outside the school with Mokuba walking towards it.

"See you, nice to meet you Katherine," he said. He's so sweet, I'm glad Matt made a new friend today.

We arrived at our house, Matt barging in with excitement, and just after that scene both my parents walked in from the living room.

"Hello kids. Wow Matt, haven't seen you this excited before," my mom said looking at my dad as they exchanged curious glances.

Matt pretty much explained how his day went with Mokuba and how his brother owns KaibaCorp, I explained how I had also made friends today and met one of the best duellists in the world. As soon as we had our whole discussion, Matt and I walked up to our rooms, leaving our parents with broad smiles on their faces.

Matt's POV

I walked up to my room only to find an envelope, laid on my bed. Mom must have put this on my bed. I opened it and saw that it was an invitation to join a tournament.

Dear Matthew Collins

We are pleased to say that you have been invited to join the Battle City Tournament for skilled duellists. We request that you attend the informing given this evening at the Domino Square at 6pm.

Let the battle begin

I couldn't hide the excitement. I need to go, this could be one of the only tournaments I ever get invited to.

Katherine's POV

For the past thirty minutes I lay on my bed listening to music after finishing my homework, when suddenly my door burst open, Matt running in with what seemed like good news.

"Kat, guess what. I got invited to a tournament. Isn't that amazing!" he said. This was really a good day for the both of us.

We arrived at Domino square an hour later after having dinner. Just then, I noticed Yugi and decided say hi.

"Yugi! Hey what are you doing here?" I asked although now that I think of it, it was stupid question. The moment I took a look at Yugi I noticed he looked a little different, he looked slightly taller with a much more firm expression on his face.

"I received an invitation for some tournament," he said. Then suddenly all three of us noticed a women with curly blonde hair and violet eyes running with excitement as she noticed Yugi.

"Yugi, hey!" she said as she stopped in front of us noticing Matt and I, "who are you guys?"

"This is Katherine and her brother Matthew," Yugi gestured towards us. Both us just waved towards her sheepishly.

"So I'm guessing you're here because you got an invitation to join this tournament am I right?" I asked.

"That's right but I heard that the host is apparently a rich CEO who is quite young." She said as if she was hinting something.

Then all the screens around us went blank, not long until an image of a familiar young man's face appeared on the screens.

"Seto Kaiba!" Yugi said. Wait, that's Mokuba's brother. Great so the guy who gave me hard time just as I moved in Japan happens to have a brother who's friends with my brother. So far I'm not liking where this is going.

"Greetings and welcome to all of you duellists, but more importantly welcome to my tournament," he stated a little too confidently. Wow this guy has a big ego!

"I'm gonna make this brief so listen carefully. I've added new rules to this tournament. First; you will all duel using these new duel disks I designed specifically for this tournament. Second for every duel that goes on the loser of the duel will forfeit their rarest card," he smirked at this statement.

"Forfeit my dark magician!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Each duel-disk contains a locator card which you give to the victor of the duel. Once you've collected six of them, you'll find a map on them leading towards my battle city arena," he finished, but that was not making things brief

Then wind began blowing as a helicopter, with Kaiba standing on the skies of the helicopter, flew over the buildings

Kaiba looked down directly as us, to be more specific, Yugi before raising his hand to make another statement.

"Don't forget to pick up your duel disk because in one week my Battle City Tournament begins!" and with that he flew off.

For some odd reason, I get the feeling I'm not gonna like this tournament.
